In the next few days, the busy Yu Qiuping never had time to return to Junfu.

He's going to be busy receiving the new two-thousand-stone territory. There are more than 600 people in the two villages, one is a fishing village and the other is a farmer, and they are in the west of Yuqiuping's original territory. This was originally an area under the temporary care of the Sena family, and it was the Sena clan who came to hand over the handover. Under the latter's arrangement, Naoe Tadahei quickly obtained a large number of information such as the village's population, household registration, harvest, and family status, and the handover of the acting officials was also quickly completed.

"Of course these things need to be counted." Sena glanced at Yu Qiuping, "Otherwise, there will be people who cheat and cheat every year and want to pay less taxes, so don't lose money." ”

This time, a few ashigaru who were injured were arranged by Yu Qiuping to serve as judges in these two new villages. The popularization of legal education also took Yu Qiuping more than half a day.

After that, Yu Qiuping and Naoe Tadahei rushed to inspect the work of the craftsmen. In the nearly one month since Yu Qiuping left, another 29 pairs have been completed. However, given that Yu Qiuping plans to expand the army slightly, the craftsmen still need to continue to work production.

Yu Qiuping planned to expand each squad to 50 people, and the name of each squad was also changed to platoon. The commander of the platoon is called Adashigaru Shogun. And each platoon consists of five squads, each squad has 10 people, and the commander is called Ashigaru head. This requires the recruitment of an additional group of recruits. For the training of recruits, Yu Qiuping also adopts the same principles as the old brothers who trained the earliest before. Not only can you avoid people with various relationship backgrounds during selection, but you can also be strict when training. Every evening, I also had to learn Chinese, because the daily military language and paper orders were all in Chinese.

Of course, the supply of food for the troops must also be maintained. Yu Qiuping found that if he didn't feed his subordinates, his training method would be dead. Not only are you full for three meals a day, but you can also eat meat once a few days, and fish is also often served.

In addition to the 250 people, Yu Qiuping also set up a small cavalry team, consisting of a total of 20 people. They are in charge of reconnaissance, cover, etc., and the commander is the herald named Anayama Nodami.

The reason why Yu Qiuping was deeply impressed by this cave mountain faithfulness was not because of his superb riding skills, and he was sent by Yu Qiuping as a herald in Zhili City. It's because when he was learning Chinese, after every class, he would pester Yu Qiuping to ask questions, and ask Yu Qiuping to translate some of the Japanese he said into Chinese and write them down.

And the words he asked were all related to various body organs of women. Yu Qiuping, who was disgusted, went to inquire about this cave mountain faithfulness, it turned out that he was a bachelor, but he especially liked to visit the kiln. As long as you have spare money in your pocket, you will secretly go to the green building in Junfu City, and you are a real pervert.

Well, in line with the principle of meritocracy, Yu Qiuping still gave him the position of a general. And the craftsmen also followed the requirements of the cave mountain faithfulness to produce lighter and more convenient for the cavalry to wear.

"Is it possible to produce horse armor?" Yu Qiuping imagined the ironclad cavalry he had seen in the game before, and his eyes were full of small stars.

"My lord," Hanamaru struggled to hide the look in his retarded eyes, "It's not realistic. The horses were so dressed in that armor that they couldn't run a few steps before they were too tired to walk. ”

Later, Hanamaru also told jokes about this proposal with other craftsmen, of course, he didn't say that it was Yu Qiuping, which caused everyone to laugh. The next day, Naoe Tadahei shared the joke with Yu Qiuping, and Yu Qiuping, who had a black face, gave up Ma Kai's plan.

When the matter in the collar was finally over, Yu Qiuping rushed back to the Sunfu castle tower on February 29, and happened to meet Kaede Imagawa, who was going downstairs alone, on the stairs on the third floor, and she was wearing that beautiful fur coat today.

"Ping!" When Imagawa Kaede saw Yu Qiuping's figure, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly whispered excitedly.

Yu Qiuping looked around, there was just no one at the corner of the stairs, and he suddenly took a step forward and hugged the girl into his arms. Immediately after, he kissed Kaede Imagawa on the face without saying a word. Imagawa Kaede hurriedly tilted his head and was kissed to the corner of his mouth by Yu Qiuping.

"Ping, this is the castle tower!" Imagawa Kaede shouted in a low voice and struggled hard, but Yu Qiuping firmly touched her soft lips, and the girl who was struggling in Yu Qiuping's arms suddenly calmed down.

"Ugh." Imagawa Kaede put his head on Yu Qiuping's chest and complained softly, "This is the castle tower, and Ping is too bold." ”

"I saw that there was no one." Yu Qiuping smiled evilly and poked the girl on the forehead. "See you at the cabin in the afternoon."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps at the corner of the stairs on the third floor. Yu Qiuhei and Imagawa Kaede hurriedly separated, pretending to pass by like two people they didn't know.

In the afternoon, Kaede Imagawa was rarely not late, and arrived at the cabin on time. As soon as he entered the door, Imagawa Kaede suddenly threw himself into Yu Qiuping's arms and pinched Yu Qiuping's waist fiercely.

"It hurts, it hurts!" Yu Qiuping gasped and teased: "Why are you so active now, how did you squirm in the castle tower just now." ”

"You know it's a castle tower." Imagawa Kaede glanced at Yu Qiuping, and said angrily: "Do you know, there are some rumors at home that I have a lover outside." ”

"Ahh Yu Qiuping was startled, "Aren't we quite hidden, how could we..."

"Gee, that's all about that." Kaede Imagawa smiled nonchalantly, broke free from Yu Qiuping's arms, and sat face to face with Yu Qiuping on the edge of the table in the room.

"It's really good that Ping was able to return safely this time." Imagawa Kaede looked at Yu Qiuping and smiled happily, "Finally, I don't have to worry about it every day." ”

There is a person who cares about him, and there is a home to go back to. What a happy thing it is.

Yu Qiuping also smiled, "But this time I didn't get promoted in my official position, I was still a general, and I couldn't do what I said..."

"Not really." Kaede Imagawa interrupted, "Didn't Ping later change his oath to a safe return!" ”

"Yes!" Yu Qiuping laughed, "So you don't have to feel guilty." ”

"And I think it's the right thing to do right to use his own merits and promotions to exchange the lives of those poor people who are more than a thousand Owari!" Imagawa Kaede's eyes were full of pride and relief, "Ping is really my big hero, different from those samurai who think about their martial name all day long!" Those people have been talking about peace with you all day long, but I think it's your work that gives to the victims the most remarkable! ”

"Alas, Feng'er, you know everything?" Yu Qiuping originally wanted to talk to Imagawa Kaede about this expedition.

"Jia Yan said it when he was eating at home." Kaede Imagawa recalled the dinner that day and smiled sweetly, "Although my brother and several other adults all think that Ping is wrong like this, Igayan and grandmother have praised Ping!" ”

"The Governor's Hall and Lord Shouguini!" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and being recognized by these two still made him very excited.

"yes." Imagawa Kaede smiled, "Ieyan said that you have compassion and are a very loyal and reliable samurai. Although my grandmother didn't say much, she also said that your future prospects are limitless. ”

"The two adults are really in love." Yu Qiuping scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and suddenly asked, "Feng'er, when is your birthday?" ”

"Now, you didn't even remember to ask until now." Imagawa Kaede glared at Yu Qiuping, "If you don't ask, it may be too late." ”

"I, I, I," Yu Qiuping explained incoherently, "before! It's so busy, that's why... Forgot! ”

"Okay, I know Ping has a lot to do." Kaede Imagawa smiled understandingly, "My birthday is the seventh day of the fourth month. ”

Knowing that Kaede Imagawa's birthday is still a month away, Yu Qiuping suddenly begins to prepare a birthday gift.

It should be beautiful and make girls like it. And to reflect their own hearts, they must be done with their own hands.

Yu Qiuping looked at the momiji shawl that was carefully hung on the hanger, and through the window behind the momiji shawl, he could see the streets of Sunfu.

This shawl is a particularly perfect gift, which the girl sewed for herself with a needle and a thread. Yu Qiuping racked his brains, and he didn't know how to make a gift comparable to this shawl.

I can't do needlework at all, and I don't have the ability to forge some jewelry for her.

I'm a traverser, and traversers have to be a little whimsical!

Yu Qiuping thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a good idea - greeting cards. Of course, it's not the kind of greeting card that is very boring, but the kind that I played with when I was a child, and as soon as I opened the greeting card, there were a lot of paper characters in it, and things would stand up and move from side to side.

After setting the goal, Yu Qiuping first made a few simple templates to test what the principle of this greeting card is. Once he had figured out a series of mechanisms, he went to follow the right materials—which was hard to find, and in this day and age, there didn't seem to be such a thing as cardboard. In desperation, he had to use two pieces of drawing paper and sandwich a thin wooden board in the middle. Then I draw on paper and make an image. The greeting card is about the size of A4 paper, giving Yu Qiuping room to play.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a good idea - to make a wedding card.

The side of the greeting card is painted in the backdrop of a church-style Western wedding, with stained glass windows, candlesticks, various ribbons, several columns of a Western Gothic church and a statue of the Virgin. On the flat side, the European floor and some small decorations are painted.

As for the part that stands up when you open the greeting card, Yuqiuping has set up 7. One is Kaede Imagawa in a white wedding dress, and it took a lot of effort to draw this image. Few of the painters in these years can sketch, and all they paint are ugly portraits of Oda Nobunaga. Yu Qiuping, a half-hung painting figure who has failed the art class for many years, is more realistic than them. After painting Imagawa Kaede, Yu Qiuping didn't particularly care about his image, and drew a look in a black dress, which was probably okay.

He also drew a priest dressed in white standing between the two, as well as the appearance of Imagawa Kaede's mother with Imagawa Yoshimoto and Yu Qiuhei's brain, as well as his own parents, standing on either side as an escort.

Although Imagawa Kaede wanted to ask what the gift looked like many times during Yu Qiuping's preparations, Yu Qiuping was tight-lipped and refused to say it, intending to surprise her.

On April 3, the gift was completed. This greeting card is indeed much thicker than those paper greeting cards in previous lives.

On the morning of April 7, Yu Qiuping excitedly held a greeting card and waited at the rockery next to the castle tower garden. Since Imagawa Yoshimoto would hold a birthday party for his daughter in the family in the evening, Yu Qiuping could not attend. Gifts can only be given during the day.

Just as he was looking forward to the girl's surprised and excited expression when she saw the gift, an uninvited guest quietly arrived.
