At the beginning of the new year, Nobukata only rested for three days and began to get busy, using the hot springs to grow crops, which is normal in modern times.

But in ancient times, there was not much such experience, and the believer had to go into battle himself.

It just so happened that Tennoji Daya had sent seeds of Nozawa vegetables, and Nobuchi led Hagimoto and hundreds of peasants to Nozawa Village.

Rice is also needed to be planted in the hot springs, but now Shinano is winter, and although the sunshine is not very abundant and the mountains are foggy, rice can still be grown reluctantly.

This time, there were a lot of people who accompanied him, and Nobugata also needed to live in Nozawa Village for a long time, so only Sanada Yutaka and others were left to preside over the daily government affairs in Katsumi Castle.

Nobukata arrived at Nozawa Village with a flag book and a group of peasants.

The scenery of Nozawa Village is beautiful, and Shinano changed it to Nagano Prefecture, and Nozawa Village Onsen became a tourist attraction in Nagano.

The most interesting attraction in Nozawa Village is the ski resort, and because of the geography and climate, the snow here is all natural.

Nozawa Village's ski area is located next to Mt. Maonaku, which is more than 1,000 meters high, with about 10 kilometers of slopes and gentle slopes, so you can enjoy the scenery on the side of the road while skiing.

The hot springs in the mountains are full of underground hot water gushing up, and the temperature is also very important.

Therefore, Shinkata plans to build a camp house here, and it is also a good thing to come here to rest in winter.

Although he arrived here early, it doesn't mean that he wants to start planting now, and he first needs to tidy up the land near the hot springs.

Moreover, rice should be planted in February and March, which is of course an experiment, and he is not sure that he can successfully plant it the first time, and there are two kinds of wild vegetables, one is sown in spring and the other is sown in autumn.

Spring planting takes place in March, so during this time, Nobukata temporarily stayed at Iiyama Castle and began to build a jinya near one of the hot springs in Nozawa Onsen.

The Nobukata is in North Shinano, and it is impossible for the wealthy families and people in North Shinano to be indifferent, and they have the same idea as Takanashi Masayori, a famous general who is not worse than Takeda Harunobu, it will definitely not be a simple vegetable planting.

Therefore, they will often come to visit, and even take the initiative to put the dispute at home in front of the letter and let the letter party solve it.

The letter side happened to be bored, and he also had the intention of understanding the power of Kita Shinano, so he did not refuse, and really began to deal with these disputes.

This made the people of North Xinnon very frightened, and some Chinese people or wealthy families who moved slower followed suit.

The letter side was also relatively busy for a while.

In dealing with these local disputes, the believer cannot judge at will, so he has to go to the local area to investigate before he can make a decision.

It's the end of the first month of the first month.,Nobugata is dealing with another trivial matter.,The Akanuma Shimazu family is over.,Become a member of the Naganuma Shimazu family.,It's no longer an independent countryman.。

Today it was Shimazu Tadanao who came with two ground attendants.

A landserver named Gentaro Akakawa said, "Ogasawara Denshu, that disputed field originally belonged to the village of Zaixia, and they took it away in the first place.

Now that Naganuma and Akanuma have become one, this land should be returned! ”

Another land chief, Tsu Shuichi, frowned and said: "This land is given by the Shimazu Great Hall because of military merits, even if the two families merge, the land that has been rewarded, the lord cannot take it back at will." ”

When the letter heard this, he said, "Well, that's right, the land that has been given away as a military merit cannot be taken back at will.

Since this land was taken away in the first place, it does not belong to you, and as the guardian of that land, it is your responsibility that you failed to protect your own territory. ”

When Akakawa Gentaro heard this, he felt a trace of shame and hurriedly bowed down to admit his mistake.

The letter side said again: "Nagatsu, you and Akakawa are already a colleague, how can you still draw a sword against each other like before?"

You must apologize to Akakawa for this incident and compensate those who were injured and deceased. ”

Nagatsu Shuichi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Ha, I know." ”

Nagatsu Shuichi turned around and apologized to Gentaro Akakawa, and said that he would be ready to pay compensation when he returned.

Although Gentaro Akakawa was a little dissatisfied, he had to agree.

Nobugata added, "You are all Shinano people, so you can sit down and talk about things like this, and the family will definitely do something fair." ”

Shimazu Tadanao on the side hurriedly said: "What the lord said is very true. ”

Shimazu then left with two ground attendants.

Then there were other retainers who came, and there were all sorts of little things that made the two villages quarrel over the cutting of trees, over the water source.

The letter was not impatient or anything, and he also had a lot of cases that he thought had been recorded.

Don't underestimate some civilian disputes, these disputes are indicative of some of the conditions in his country.

For example, in the village that earns water, whoever earns the water source will not have the crops there to die of drought, which involves people's livelihood.

This village is still downstream, so what about the midstream and upstream? In short, see the subtleties.

The embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and the anthill started with an ant, and the problem shown by these small rural disputes is a small ant.

However, it takes a lot of brain and energy to deal with the things of the day, and at this time, Aju, who is with her, will help Xinfang massage.

Ah Ju's appearance is much worse than Xinfang's other wives and concubines, but she is hard-working and hardworking, so it is usually Ah Ju who does more tiring things around Xinfang, such as massages or rubbing baths.

Keeping Aju by his side is still because of the Iwashita family.

Although Iwashita Naka didn't fight Saku-gun with him, he still had a close relationship with him, and he didn't provide him with much information about the Murakami family.

Iwasita Kiyoshi admires himself very much, and now serves as the city representative of a city. And Iwashita Ryu is his own flag samurai, and if necessary, he will lead a reserve.

Although Ah Ju does not have the identity of a concubine for the time being, in everyone's opinion, it will not be too long, or Ah Ju will also become the chief housekeeper of the letter house.

The most famous housekeeper is the Kasuga Bureau, the female butler of the third Tokugawa shogun, who is above 10,000 people under one person.

In short, Aju's status in the family is not something that ordinary people can bully, especially when Satomi takes care of Aju.

And Satomi Youzu often praised Aju for her good military skills, and her naginata in one hand was very powerful. Samurai women basically use naginatas, and only the Ji samurai who go to the battlefield will use red guns and the like.

Of course, the monk army will use the big naginata, which is not very suitable for killing enemies on the battlefield.

Xin Fang enjoyed Ah Ju's massage, and said with a smile: "Ah Ju, your technique and strength are getting better and better, it seems that your martial arts are improving, or you will follow me to be a Ji warrior in the future." ”
