The atmosphere in the palace was a little strange for a while, and the retainers more or less secretly aimed their eyes at the old Saigo Guanjiu.

And Xixiang Guanjiu himself didn't dare to hesitate anymore and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Guanjiu has the trust of the lord, and he also asks the lord to punish him." ”

You must know that although the Matsumoto Matsukami family started not long ago, it has been in rapid development, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who has the support of Matsumoto Ginzan, has listed the grain as one of the primary strategies for managing household economics. Therefore, there is only so little food left in Matsumoto Castle, no matter what the reason is, Saigo Kanhisa, as the chief family elder, cannot escape his responsibility.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu quickly understood the embarrassment of Saigo Kanjiu, after all, in this troubled world of the Warring States, he has always paid attention to reactive power! For a while, Matsugami Yoshimitsu couldn't help but have a little resentment against Saigo Kanhisa, this person's talent did not meet his expectations. However, there is no way to do it, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu really can't find a better replacement in the short term.

"Alright, alright." So Matsugami Yoshimitsu immediately opened his mouth to relieve the siege of Saigo Guanjiu and said: "Guanjiu's loyalty to the ministry is very clear, and there must be something we don't understand about this!"

Speaking of this, Matsugami Yoshimitsu deliberately paused and asked Saigo Kanhisa again: "Kanjiu, your ability is known to the main hall, as for the difficulties in collecting military rations, try to tell them as much as possible!"

"Lord!" Hearing this, Xixiang Guanjiu was filled with shame and hurriedly got up and asked for guilt: "No matter what the reason, I always failed to complete the task of the main bus trust, and I still ask the lord to ......."

Before the clinker Saigo Kanjiu finished speaking, the originally calm Matsugami Yoshimitsu was furious and rebuked him: "Bastard! Now that the family is in the midst of its existence, is it just to hold someone accountable that the main hall has taken such a great deal of trouble to bring everyone together?"

"Haha......"

Everyone in the audience bowed their heads and remained silent to show remorse when they saw Matsugami Yoshimitsu angry, and Saigo Kanhisa hurriedly spoke up to make up for his mistakes.

"Lord, Guan Jiu knows that he is wrong, and he will tell the truth about this here."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a while before continuing: "My lord, although the family now has a territory of more than 3,000 stones and continues to use the output of Matsumoto Silver Mountain to buy new grain, but the more you collect, the more you use!" Since the family has made the agricultural and military equipment sufficient, not only has they to put in a large amount of grain every month to feed the soldiers, but the family has also to provide these sufficient food to make up for the loss of not being able to farm. Lord, it costs a lot to make the peasant and soldier sufficient! Please also ask the lord to consider this, otherwise, even if the family defeats Ohno this time, I am afraid that I will eventually be tired of this in the future!"

Saying that, Saigo Guanjiu actually took the opportunity to admonish Matsugami Yoshimitsu with his head, these days the rice consumption is like running water, and the pressure he is under is not light!

"My lord, Lord Saigo is right! Nowadays, the family has spent too much money on raising soldiers, and I am afraid that it will affect the development of Matsumoto Castle in the long run. ”

"I also understand the idea that the lord wants to take the road map of elite soldiers to survive, but now that the family is in the process of establishing a business, the foundation is too thin, so it is better to wait for the family to develop and grow in the future before strengthening the army."

"That's right, we've always fought bad battles than more people, and now our family has a lot fewer elite soldiers, how can we fight with others. Besides, even a few hundred people can't be deployed in a formation, and it's not easy to form combat power in the short term, so it's really worth the loss!"

Saigo's exhortation was as if it had ignited a powder keg, and all of a sudden, the retainers who had already complained about Matsugami Yoshimitsu's policy of raising troops regardless of everything. This is not to say that they do not understand the benefits of a crack strategy, but it can only be said that it does not match the current situation in Matsumoto Castle.

And Matsugami Yoshimitsu was not dissatisfied with the "forced palace" behavior of the retainers, and now is the time for him to start a business, and he really shouldn't pay attention to any rules, not to mention that the current retainers collegiate is the mainstream, and the retainers are also dedicated to the public.

"This is a mistake on the part of the main hall!" After being silent for a long time in the face of everyone's advice, Matsugami Yoshimitsu took a long breath and said to himself: "It is not wise for such a monarch to carry out the decree without fully considering the pros and cons of it. It is unjust for a monarch to criticize his retainers without understanding the difficulty of what he is told. This matter has nothing to do with the fact that it has nothing to do with the negligence of the main hall, and in that case, the establishment of a sufficient collar should be postponed!"

Matsugami Yoshimitsu soon understood that he had made the mistake of empiricism, and that innovation and reform in everything needed to be supported by strong strength. He is neither a certain chief nor a certain wearer, and he does not have a fertile territory of millions of stones, nor does he have a unique business that casually generates hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's ridiculous that he used to ridicule some Warring States figures for their lack of strategic vision, but in fact, people don't have no vision, it's just the situation.

"Lord!" Everyone didn't expect Matsugami Yoshimitsu to take the initiative to admit his mistake, and they were immediately moved to surrender and bow down, it is really a blessing in life to meet this kind of master!

"That's it!" Matsugami Yoshimitsu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to return to their places, and then added: "Although this decree has been temporarily abolished by the main hall, it would be a pity if the previous investment was to be abandoned. Guan Jiu, how many collars do you have in this family at present?"

"My lord! There are a total of 248 people currently in training. Saigo Kanhisa hurriedly blurted out the number that he knew by heart.

"It's a little less!" Matsugami Yoshimitsu pondered for a while, and then decided: "The main hall was established in a hurry, and there is still no escort team, so 200 of them will be the headquarters of the main hall!" In addition, the remaining 48 first-collar soldiers were recruited as the core, and the number was expanded to 200 and divided into the names of each retainer. ”

"Haha."

"Togo Kojiro Heita!" Matsugami Yoshimitsu then summoned another of his newly acquired retainers and said: "Ryoki Nagamasa and Ryoki Ippei are now stepping up the reconstruction of Ryoki Village, which will become the bridgehead of the family to block the Ohno family, and the main hall orders you to escort 300 stone brown rice to Ryoki Village as a capital to defend the city." In addition, there is a letter here in the main hall that you should also give to the chief government. ”

"Haha!" As a new retainer, Togo Kojiro is eager to make contributions, so he naturally does everything, but most of the rest of the people are a little worried. After all, that's 300 stone of brown rice, and now is the time for food shortages.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw everyone's expressions at a glance, but he didn't say anything, but he gave birth to a heroic spirit in his heart and said loudly: "The victory or defeat of the war is fought with the sword, and the food is enough." If the victory is decided by the amount of food, then the main hall will surrender directly to Ohno Heinobu!"

So all the retainers said nothing.
