Sanada Yutaka heard Nobugata ask about this matter, and hurriedly said: "There is news from the Tennoji House, there is no Champong rice for the time being, but the green vegetable seeds that the lord needs have been found.

The people of Tennojiya say that this green vegetable is suitable for growing in the summer and harvesting in the fall. ”

The letter nodded and said, "I know, just bring the seeds, and find a group of old farmers who specialize in planting this batch of vegetables."

By the way, whose territory is it in Nozawa Village, I heard that there is a hot spring, right? ”

Sanada Yutaka thought for a moment and replied, "Nozawa Village is near Iiyama Castle in Shimosui County, and it is the territory of the Takanashi family. ”

The letter nodded and said, "Send someone to talk to Zhenglai." Anywhere near Nozawa Village there are hot springs, they are all my direct leaders.

As for his loss, I will make it up to him, so that he does not have to worry. ”

Sanada Yutaka wondered: "Does the lord want to use this matter to test the people of Northern Shinano?" ”

Nobugata was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Sanada Yutaka said this, he just wanted to grow Nozawa vegetables and sell them as a specialty to make money.

He asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Sanada Yutaka looked at Nobukata's expression and found that Nobugata was staring at him thoughtfully, and he hurriedly said, "The lord's thoughts, the minister can't guess." ”

Nobugata glanced at Sanada Yutaka and said, "If you can't guess, you don't have to guess." Send an envoy to talk to the government about this, the sooner the better.

Also, urge the Tennoji temple to buy the seeds of Champa rice from the Nanban merchants as soon as possible, and try it now with the rice they usually grow. ”

Sanada Yutaka nodded hurriedly, and then retreated.

At this time, Shinano was already very cold, and there was a stove burning in the room, and when Sanada Yutaka got up and withdrew, a cold wind blew in, making Nobukata shiver.

In the cold winter, he doesn't want to go anywhere, he just wants to stay in a warm place.

Of course, most of the time, he will go to see his wives and concubines, they are all pregnant, and wait until June and July next year, which is the day they will be born.

As long as one of them gives birth to a boy, his power can be considered truly stable.

Now Nobukata is also eager to give birth to a son, and Takeda Harunobu did not stop this winter, and he sent a large number of Hosaku to contact his retainers.

These people are all wealthy families, and in this troubled world, most of them are grass on the wall, and the grave of the head iron is already two feet high weeds.

Because he believed that Fang had no heirs, many people were very worried, even if it was the person he promoted, they were very hesitant in their hearts.

This winter, Nobugen Iizuna and Kiyoshi Ideura often came to report that a certain wealthy family had communicated with the Takeda family or something.

Of course, on his own initiative, he has already been recorded on the list of mortals, and as for the rest, he is not going to punish them.

If it's really more serious, this is also the result that Takeda Harunobu wants, Takeda Harunobu is old, as long as he can't win the frontal fight, he will find your back.

Every time Uesugi Keitora gained the upper hand, some of his retainers would be returned by Takeda Harunobu and then rebelled.

Forces like Nobukata are the most prone to such problems, and both Mino and Hida belong to the places with the greatest influence of the Ichijo sect, and even in Shinano, there are Ichijo sect forces.

The letter side was planning to suppress the power of the monks in the country, and he was afraid that Takeda Harunobu would seize the opportunity to pick up these monks and launch a fight.

However, fortunately, the attitude of the 10th generation of the head priest of Honganji Temple is relatively soft towards the daimyos.

In order to avoid being attacked by the Omi Rokkaku family in the confrontation with Hatakeyama Yoshinobu, the guardian of Kawachi, and Hosokawa Harumoto, the shogunate, he moved Honganji from Nishina to Ishiyama.

Takeda Harunobu traveled to Kyoto and met with him when he was in Kinouchi, and when Kenshin Uesugi entered Beijing, he also made a special trip to send gifts, and he had already made peace with Hosokawa and Hatakeyama.

In addition to goodwill diplomacy, Shinru also played an active role in public welfare activities such as building bridges and temples, which laid the foundation for the unprecedented development of Honganji, otherwise Xianru would not have had the background to fight Oda Nobunaga for ten years.

At that time, if he Shinano really got into trouble in the country, he could only ask for help from Zhengru.

Now he wants to control the power of the monks in the country in advance, lest he wait until the time when Xianru is in power, he has not yet dealt with Takeda Harunobu, and he will be passive at that time.

In 1557, he fulfilled his father's marriage agreement with Hosokawa Harumoto and married Harumoto's adopted daughter (the daughter of Sanjo Koyori, the left minister, and the younger sister of Takeda Shingenmasa).

It is evident that the first military campaign was the launch of Kaga and Echizen in the third year of Eiroku (1560) to attack Echigo.

If Nobukata hadn't killed Harumobu Takeda, it was feared that soon after he ascended to power, he would have mobilized the followers of Kaga, Echichu, Hida, and Mino, and flooded Shinano with a sea of people from all sides.

Others have always been the scum of believers' combat power, but there are many others, and there are more than 100,000 believers in the four countries, like locusts crossing the border.

Kaga Echizen on the spot, there were 300,000 believers, and they were finally killed by the Asakura family.

However, the letter side is in a special situation, and Takeda Harunobu on his back will definitely send troops, and at that time, he will be finished.

The more Nobukata thought about it, the more likely this was to be, and he hurriedly sent someone to find Nanjo Right Masuke, who surrendered too quickly, and he had no excuse to kill him.

During the Yoshikiyoshi period of Murakami, Nanjo Right Masuke had a connection with the Takeda family, and it was Sanada Yukitaka who was tweaking him at that time.

Recently, a monk from afar went to Kounji Temple, where Nanjo Right Masuke is located, and Nanjo Right Masuke is the presiding officer of the temple.

The temple had its own territory, which could collect taxes, form a monk's army, and grow day by day because of the privilege of not losing or entering.

"Do not lose" refers to the privilege of not losing rent and not losing taxes obtained by the estate; "Not entering" refers to the privilege of refusing to enter the manor, such as the inspection of the land and the taxation of the estate.

Such privileges began in the ninth century with the manor economy, which later evolved into the samurai class, and after the prevalence of Buddhism, temples also had the privilege of not losing or entering.

Nobukata decided to seize Nanjo's right Masuke to open a breakthrough from him and submit the temple under his rule.

Shinano was already a snowy world, and there were few people on the road, but a cavalryman on horseback with the Ogasawara family crest on his back was walking on the road.

He is not very fast, mainly because he is afraid that the road will slip, the horse will lose its front hooves, and if he falls in such an environment, no one will know about it, and he will freeze to death.

The direction he was heading was the Gengyun Temple.

Two hours later, he arrived outside the gate of the Cultivating Cloud Temple, and as soon as he saw the temple, he immediately dismounted and moved his somewhat stiff body.

He took a cursory look at the temple, good guy, there are walls and everything, saying that it is a temple, and it is no different from the city.

He ran to the temple gate and slapped it vigorously: "I'm the lord under the command of the lord Asano Konosuke, open the door quickly!" ”

The monk guarding the gate immediately opened the temple door and saw Konosuke Asano, who immediately invited him in, while another monk ran to tell Nanjo Usuke.

Nanjo Youmasuke was thinking about what the monk had just said in the room, and he knew that some of the measures taken by the letter were obvious to the alienation of the temple, and in terms of taxation and other aspects, it was extremely strict, prohibiting the temple from setting up private checkpoints.

The Takeda family still agrees to the privilege of "no loss, no entry", which is much better than the Shinkata.

Just as he was about to write a letter to Harumobu Takeda, a monk outside the door shouted, "Presiding, His Royal Highness Ogasawara has sent someone!" ”

Nanjo Yomasuke was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the ink dripped onto the paper, quickly blackening around.

He hurriedly put down the brush, got up and ran out of the corridor, looked at the monk and asked, "How many people are here?" ”

The monk replied, "A flag warrior! ”

Nanjo Umasuke was relieved to hear that there was only one person, but he was thinking, Ogasawara Nobukata only sent one person to find him, what was the matter?

He tilted his head and shouted: "Someone, send the foot monk out of the temple immediately, send him to live somewhere else, and keep it secret, so that no one will find out." ”

After saying this, he hurried to the place where he was meeting the guests, and at the same time asked his monks to invite Konosuke Asano in.

As soon as Konosuke Asano saw Nanjo's right Masuke, Nanjo asked someone to bring hot soup and said with a smile: "Asano has worked hard from afar, drink hot soup to go to the cold." ”

Asano Konosuke waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, Master Nanjo, the lord urgently summoned you to Katsuro Castle to discuss." ”

Nanjo Youmasuke took out a box with a piece of gold in it, and he smiled: "Be careful, I don't know what Asano knows, what is the matter with the lord looking for a poor monk?" ”

Konosuke Asano hurriedly shook his head, and did not accept the golden sentence, and said: "I don't know if I am below, and the master does not have to be filial." Maybe it's just for the New Year's thing, the master still set off quickly, don't let the lord wait for a long time. ”

Nanjo Right Masuke frowned slightly, and replied, "Okay, the poor monk is ready, and then we will set off." ”

Subsequently, Nanjo Youmasuke took a few monks to follow Asano Konosuke to Katsuo Castle.

And another flagbook, Uehara Tadadasa, arrived at the residence of the Takanashi family and met with Takanashi Masashi.

For the sudden messenger, Takanashi Masayori received him very solemnly.

Takanashi Masayori asked, "Is there something important that the lord sent you?" ”

Uehara Tadasada replied: "The lord wants to go to Nozawa Village near Iiyama Castle in Suiuchi County to become the direct leader, and as for the loss of Takanashi, the lord guild will make up for it from the vicinity of Akanuma before." ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter written by the letter himself.

Takanashi Masayori was a little surprised in his heart, why did the letter suddenly want this place? The most special thing about this place is the hot springs.

But he is not the only one who has hot springs, but also other places, and this move is still testing me?

He took the letter and read it, and it had an explanation that he needed to grow vegetables and rice in the hot springs of Nozawa Village.

Takanashi Masayori didn't understand this, he thought it was just an excuse from the Nobukata, I'm afraid that the Nobugata didn't worry about him, or maybe it was because he almost died in the battle at Zenkoji Castle in the first place?

That's the house generation is full of harm, and it doesn't have a lot to do with him...
