Pillars of the Wu family

Yoshishi Kira thought for a while and then dismissed the boring thoughts: "But this is also good! My brother married the Imagawa family, the stability of the Kira family will be protected, and the resistance to dispatching manpower from Sanhe to Kinai will be much smaller. After all, The fewer samurai in Sanhe, the easier it is for the Imagawa family to intervene in the affairs of Sanhe. These families of Fenggong origin are really short-sighted. Forty families will take out [-] samurai at a time. All the gates of Dai have been pumped out!"

"Hey, each of the two Kira families drew a hundred elites to accompany Shangluo. In total, there are more than 500 people. The direct armed force of the family has exceeded 2000? Hmm! It's still a real elite with everyone equipped with horses and armored weapons. The logistics pressure will be even greater! The little money you can earn from selling the carriages is really beyond your means! No way! The family has to figure out how to make money!"

The salaries of more than 2000 people in Kira’s family, and people eating horse chews are a huge expense. Although the establishment of Sakamoto Castle combined the castle town and Sakamoto Port Town, Kira Yoshishi could maintain a regular income by collecting various taxes. The newly built The castle town attracts townspeople to fill up the new town for a short time at the cost of exempting part of the current year's taxes, so the only thing that can be collected is some regular commercial taxes and business taxes.

Sakamoto Port is indeed a cash cow. At the beginning, Sakamoto was chosen to build the city because of the huge trade share of Sakamoto Port, but this cash cow has not yet been tamed. The right to dominate is far from complete control, but given the current financial situation of the Kira family, military training, recruitment, and salary expenditures are all heavy financial burdens. Even if he still has a large amount of assets in his hand, he cannot bear it Sitting and eating mountain empty.

"It seems that this war must be won! If the shogunate loses, the financial situation of the main family will be difficult to maintain the operation of the army. If the shogunate loses even the trousers, what is the main family playing? Why not come here as a puppet in Suruga Freedom!" Yoshitomo Kira narrowed his eyes, and the folding fan in his hand was shaking slowly, thinking about something.

At the beginning of May, Ashikaga Yoshito and Konoe Seiji brought another gift to Kira Yoshitoki. Because of his achievements in conquering the rebellious minister Takashima Yoshitaka, he was pardoned by the court as one of the five lower left soldier guards. This position is Kira Yoshitoki. The family has inherited hundreds of years of official duties since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Yoshitoki Kira personally rushed to Nakao Castle to express his gratitude.

When I returned to Sakamoto, I remembered that I hadn’t seen Katsuhime for many days, so I took Aju to the Sakamoto Imperial Palace to visit Keishuin and Katsuhime. After experiencing the shock of the death of the Great Imperial Palace, the formerly prosperous Imperial Palace suddenly became much older. The ancient Qingdeng Buddha was lonely, Ji Liangyi sat for half an hour and saw Qingshouyuan reciting the Buddha's name expressionlessly, so he could only quietly retreat.

When I came to the backyard, I heard a burst of laughter. Sheng Ji was playing happily in the yard with the bamboo dragonfly that Ji Liangyi had given her. Aju, who was sitting not far away, was pulling a middle-aged woman to prevent her In the past, this woman seemed to be very anxious, shouting a few words from time to time with a distressed expression.

"Who is Aju talking to? This one?"

"The old lady is Awan, a female official from the Jinwei family, and the favor of Meng Qingshouyuan has been transferred to the imperial palace to control Her Highness the Princess!" The old maid had a serious face, and she seemed to be very unfriendly.

"Oh, so that's the case." Yoshitomo Kira nodded lightly, then ignored the arrogant old maid, and shouted at Sheng Ji: "Sheng Ji, come and rest!"

"Oni sauce! Sheng Ji is not tired! Sheng Ji has to play for a while, I haven't been so happy in a long time! The imperial palace is so boring!" Sheng Ji ran around the yard chasing bamboo dragonflies, sweating profusely after a while , the attire on his face was soaked with sweat, and finally he was pulled back when he was unlucky.

"His Royal Highness! You are now the younger sister of His Royal Highness, the princess of the shogunate, not the daughter of the Wu family from the countryside. You must always remember your identity! Don't randomly accept strange things brought by outsiders." The old maid Ah Wanyi Breaking off the bamboo dragonfly that had been taken from Sheng Ji's hand and throwing it away, Sheng Ji was frightened and dumbfounded at the time. She cried out when she saw her beloved toy being violently torn to pieces.

Seeing Aju's pale face from being frightened and hugging Sheng Ji who was crying, Yoshiki Kira was so angry that he threw a folding fan and hit the mean old woman on the forehead, angrily shouting: "Maidmaid Wan! Who gave you the right to destroy the toys made by the family? Who gave you the courage to sever the relationship between the family and Sheng Ji? Who allowed you to sit in front of the family as a lowly servant? Who instructed you to maliciously smear the royal family of the shogunate? dignity?"

"You...you..." The old maid Ah Wan was stunned by him. She had never seen such a scene before. Being hit on the head by a folding fan was even more humiliating. Kira Yoshitoshi, "You dare to hit me! Do you know that I am a member of the Konoe family! I am the person invited by Keishuin to teach His Highness the Princess!"

"Come here!" Ji Liangyishi did not give her a chance to defend herself, and immediately called Feng Gong who was guarding outside the courtyard: "The maid Awan attacked Her Royal Highness, and my family suspects that the maid Awan told Miyoshi Changqing and planned to harm Qing Shouyuan! In the name of the public leader of the shogunate, I order you to interrogate and verify as soon as possible and report to His Royal Highness for a decision!"

"Yes!" Several members of the public, with big arms and round waists, swarmed up and picked up the struggling old maid, ignoring her excuses and dragging them out of the imperial palace.

"Sheng Ji, don't be sad anymore! That old woman has already been kicked out by me! No one will dare to bully you in the future." Ji Liangyi patted Sheng Ji on the head and comforted: "Although the bamboo dragonfly is broken, it will be a long time. It's a pity, but it can still be repaired, after my brother takes it back and repairs it, can I give it to you to play with?"

"Well! Sheng Ji will be looking forward to this gift very much. Sheng Ji is going to rest when she is tired!" Looking at the back of Sheng Ji going away, Aju said worriedly: "Sheng Ji will be okay?"

"It seems that I'm still scared by what happened just now...Damn maid, Awan! It's all the old woman's fault! My family will write a letter to Brother Yi after returning home, asking him to send a well-educated maid to teach Sheng Ji."

Kira Yoshitoki's brother-in-law is Konoe Haruji, who personally combed his hair at the Genfu ceremony. His father, Konoe Tsukiya, and Kira Yoshitoki had a black hat marriage. The word "Shi" came from him, so Yoshitoki Kira had a natural close relationship with the Konoe family, and this relationship was further strengthened by the engagement of Katsuhime and Konoe Haruji.

Sheng Ji's education is related to Konoe Haruji's future life, and he must take it seriously. Compared with Qingshouyuan's appointment of stubborn old maids who rely on the old and sell the old, Konoe Haruji will only choose better female officials instead of worse.

On May 300th, the Shangluo team, which had been dragging for more than half a month, finally entered Sakamoto Castle. In this team, there were more than 500 people who were the main force of Shangluo this time, 200 people were from Sanhe Fenggong, and the other 300 elite belonged to Kira's own armed forces, [-] people, were immediately divided into two parts, Saijobi absorbed [-] people, and Chibei absorbed [-] people. In this way, the gap between the two sides changed from [-] to [-] to [-] to [-]. The back seemed to straighten up overnight.

This time, the leader of the Shangluo team is Okochi Kigao of the Okochi family. His task is to send these five hundred people to the place safely, and he also escorted [-] stones of refined sea salt to serve as the salt pond belonging to the Kira family for the past few months. output.

"But Ma Shou is really smart! Seeing the location of the family in Kinai, are you going to borrow the sea salt from the family to open up the sale of sea salt in the Sakamoto area? That's okay! If you don't give you some benefits, how can you feel at ease in Sanhe and serve the public?" Ji Liangyi At that time, I could see through Xiao Jiujiu who was sent by Nobuzhen in Dakochi at a glance.
