Chapter 119: Separation of Powers

"Haha, hahahaha~~~"

Regarding Yoshihei Ryoki's question, Yoshimitsu Matsugami first laughed, and then without saying a word, he walked straight in front of Yoshihei Ryoki and kicked Yoshihei who was sitting on his knees to the ground.

"Bastard! Are you questioning the decision of the main temple?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu kicked Yoshihei several times before he said hatefully.

Originally, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was very dissatisfied with Yoshiki Kazuhei's reckless confrontation with Saigo Kanhisa, and this time he took this opportunity to beat him up. At this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu has been in power for a long time, and his power is not comparable to that of the past, and Yoshihei Ryoki saw that the lord was angry and didn't care about his injury, so he quickly got up and knelt down to ask Matsugami Yoshimitsu for his guilt.

"I have no intention of offending the lord, please punish the lord." After saying that, Liangmu Yiping knocked on the ground with both hands and didn't dare to say a word, waiting for Matsugami Yoshimitsu's punishment, and the surrounding retainers were suddenly silent.

"Well, don't have a next time. Otherwise, the main hall will be punished together with this time. After all, Yoshimitsu Matsugami has been a confidant since the time of Ryoki, and when he saw him being taught a lesson, he couldn't bear to punish him again.

"Haha!" Originally, Yoshihei Ryoki was already trembling when he saw Matsugami Yoshimitsu was angry, but at this time, he was exempted from a crime and retreated.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu returned to his place and sat down cross-legged and said to the retainers, "There are more and more retainers under this palace, and the functions and powers of the retainers are somewhat confused. This time this time the main hall wants to re-divide the duties and powers of you, I don't know what you think?"

"What! Re-delineation? Could it be that the lord is dissatisfied with us and wants to take away our authority? ”

"Haha, the opportunity I was waiting for has come. Re-divide the authority, I can't say that I will have the opportunity to be the old man in the future. ”

"What an eventful time these days! The Lord is arbitrary, and I don't know if this is a curse or a blessing for us!" ......

Matsukami's decision caused a stir among his retainers. The redivision of authority meant that Matsumoto Castle was about to undergo a new division of power, from which each retainer could benefit or suffer.

Because of their status, the retainers also had different feelings about the upcoming distribution of power. Some retainers who were already in high positions naturally feared that they would lose their authority; Others, lowly and ambitious, wanted to use it to gain power; Some of the retainers tended to settle down, fearing that Matsugami Yoshimitsu's move would bring turmoil to Matsumoto Castle in the future.

Every reform and change of power will inevitably be opposed and hindered by some vested interests, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu's retainers are naturally not exempt from this. During the Warring States period, the hierarchy between the head of the family and the retainers was not so strict, and if it had been in the past, the castle tower of Matsumoto Castle would have been noisy for a long time. But now, because Yoshiki Kazuhei's Yin Jian is not far away, the retainers in the castle tower can only keep silent even if they are dissatisfied.

"Hehe, don't you have anything to say to this temple?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu asked again with a smile when he saw that everyone was not talking.

It was silent, there was still silence in the castle tower, and some retainers didn't even dare to look at Matsugami Yoshimitsu and kept leaning over to obey orders. Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw all the reactions of his retainers, and in fact, it was precisely for this reason that he successively knocked Saigo Kanhisa and Yoshiki Nagamasa. There will always be resistance to the division of power, and if it weren't for his previous deterrence, he would have had a headache at this time.

There was silence in the castle tower for a while, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu pointed to his old Saigo Kanhisa and said. "Since everyone is reluctant to speak, then you can tell me your opinion on this matter first."

Saigo had previously held the position of patriarch of Matsumoto Castle, and it stands to reason that he should be the staunchest opponent of this redistribution of power. Then Saigo Kanhisa had been responsible for Matsugami Yoshimitsu before, and at this time he just replied out of caution: "It is the duty of the retainers to be loyal to the lord's decision, and no matter what, the lord's decision will be obeyed and will not dare to slack off in the slightest."

"Everything is in the hands of the Lord, and we will obey our orders." The surrounding retainers saw that the elders of the family had spoken, and they all expressed their obedience to Matsugami Yoshimitsu one after another, and it was always the norm for people to face the final decision whenever they followed the crowd.

"Okay, then the main hall will talk about the arrangements for you." Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that there was no objection and continued.

"Haha." When it comes to the lives of individuals and even their families, the retainers in the Matsumoto Castle Castle Tower all sit up.

"Saigo Kanhisa, the main hall has appointed you as the agricultural director of Matsumoto Castle, and you will be responsible for all the farmland cultivation and taxes of Matsumoto Castle in the future. You are still the elder of the family among the retainers, and the task of leading the retainers will be entrusted to you in the future. "With the 3,000-stone stone stone in Matsumoto City, farming will be the most important thing, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu decided to hand it over to Saigo Kanhisa, who is old and serious, after thinking about it for a long time.

"Haha, I will definitely live up to the trust of the lord in the future." Saigo Guanjiu didn't expect that he was still the elder of his family, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Matsugami Yoshimitsu.

"Ryoki Ippei." After arranging for Saigo to be irrigated for a long time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu called the name of Yoshihei Ryoki again.

"My lord's command." Yoshihei Ryoki was originally a little depressed because of Matsugami Yoshimitsu's punishment, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Matsugami Yoshimitsu ranking himself in Saigo for a long time.

Looking at Yoshimitsu Matsugami, who seemed to be relieved, Yoshimitsu Matsugami was also a little touched, after all, this was a retainer in his Ryoki era! "Yiping, the position of the commercial director of this family is held by you, and you have the title of general. The production of Matsumoto Ginzan will fully support you in the development of the castle town, and I hope you will not disappoint the main hall. ”

"Haha." Ryoki Ippei, who was entrusted with the important task, did not say a word, and solemnly responded.

The people of the Liangmu faction were also relieved when they saw this, it seems that the lord still treats us differently from others.

After announcing the appointment of the two important ministers of Matsumoto Castle, Matsugami Yoshimitsu finished talking about the arrangements for the other retainers in one breath.

"The three of Tsuno, Tsuno Kahei, Haneda Kojiro, and Taro Hanano, the main hall has appointed you and others to be the security director of the castle town, and the security of the castle town will be handed over to you. The three of you are the title of Ashigaru. ”

"Haha."

"Hideto Fujiki, Nobuno Kawazawa, and Shakusawa Harapei, the three of you are in charge of the security of the villages outside the city for the city's predators. Ashigaru group title. ”

"Haha."

"Takahisa Saigo, who has not returned, is in charge of the mining of the Matsumoto Silver Mine as the Honke Mineral Commission, and Yoshiki Nagamasa, Shimura Miki, and Kanai Yoshira are in charge of training soldiers and foreign warfare. These people have the title of Ashigaru group. ”......

Soon, in addition to the Mochizuki Chiyo daughter who had other arrangements, Matsugami Yoshimitsu completed the job arrangements of all the retainers, and before he knew it, there were already so many retainers under his command, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu couldn't help but be proud.
