When Sabei and his party came to Tsuruga County, Sabei suddenly remembered something and glanced back at Fushiwa Akijiro. At this time, Fushiwa Akijiro's one-eyed eyes were full of emotions that Sabei had never experienced, and Suzuki Heavy Industries and Kaiba Yoshiya beside him also looked at Sabei when they saw this. After the three of them exchanged glances, Sabei said to Fujido Takatora who was guarding beside him, "With Youemon, you lead the command of everyone here. ”

He rode again and came to his wife's sedan chair, which was guarded by four samurai. Ming Weixiu, who heard Sabei's order to Fujido Takatora, opened the side window of the sedan chair when Sabei came to the sedan chair, and asked Sabei, "Do you want to deal with important things?" ”

After listening to her husband's brief narration, Ming Weixiu's eyes flashed with tears, and he bowed his head to Sabei and said, "My lord, I also want to go with my lord to worship Lord Fuyu's deceased wife!" ”

Sabei looked at his resolute-faced wife in front of him, nodded, and then said to Fujido Takatora: "With Youemon, you don't have to stay behind, come with me to Kawasaki Village!" ”

When Akijiro Fushiba, who was immersed in memories, heard "Kawasaki Village", the whole person instantly came back to his senses. Looking at Sabei in front of him and his colleagues beside him, Fushiwa Meijiro was about to say something, but he heard Sabei say to himself: "Meijiro, go see Chie!" ”

After hearing this, the hideous-looking Fushiwa Meijiro nodded slightly, and looked up at the clouds flowing in the sky. Then he followed Sabei and the others towards that nightmarish place.

After stopping and stopping, Sabei and his entourage finally arrived at Kuniyoshi Castle, which is adjacent to Tsuruga County, that night. At this time, under Kuniyoshi Castle, the townspeople and nearby farmers were returning to their homes, and the appearance of a group of samurai made the people in the town move up a lot. At the same time, there were several pairs of eyes looking wildly at Sabei and his party.

After feeling a few greedy and unkind glances, Fushiwa Akijiro pulled out the sword at his waist and scanned it, and after a few breaths, those rude and offensive gazes disappeared without a trace. Sabei glanced back at Fushiwa Akijiro and nodded at him, and Fushiwa Akijiro immediately bowed his head and saluted.

Looking at the lazy ashigaru on the Kuniji Castle, Fujido Gaohu shouted at them: "The lord of the Kuniji Castle, Lord Mingwei Xuanxin, is here, don't you open the city gate soon!" ”

After hearing the shouts of the tall samurai under the castle, the ashigaru guards immediately held the short spear and the Maruki bow in their hands and said to the Sabei and the others under the castle, "Do you have a certificate?" ”

After hearing this, Fujitang Gaohu was furious and said, "You are not qualified to test the lord's Wanxing form, let you adults come out and speak!" After confirming the identity of Sabei, the samurai who stayed behind in Kuniyoshi Castle invited Sabei and his party into the city with great respect. After settling everyone down overnight, Sabei rested in his room.

Early the next morning, Sabei summoned his retainers and the samurai who remained behind in Kuniyoshi Castle to the house. After inquiring about the identity of the samurai left behind, Sabei wrote a letter to Katsuhisa Kuriya, who had moved to Omi, in accordance with his request. After receiving the letter from Sahei, the samurai who stayed behind bowed to Sabei and the others and walked quickly out of the assessment room.

Looking at the departing samurai, Sabei said to Sukeemon, "Bring me the survey records of Kuniyoshi Castle and nearby towns and villages!" After hearing this, Sukeemon bowed his head and agreed, and then he and the servant took several thick survey records to the assessment room.

In the days that followed, Sabei and others, including Sukeemon and Yamashita Shinsuke, who later arrived at Kuniyoshi Castle, were fully engaged in the operation of checking Chiyuki Jishitaka. The people and wealthy clans of the Sanfang Gun, who had obtained the Sabei Guardian to Kuniyoshi Castle, naturally came early to visit Lord Mingwei Xuanxin, who had the largest territory and the highest status in the Sanfang Clan. Since Sabei and his retainers were busy surveying the land, they naturally didn't pay much attention to the visiting countrymen and wealthy families.

However, the people and nobles of the three counties persevered, and they came to visit Sabei in Kuniyoshi Castle for several days. This also made the Sabei who was busy checking Shi Gao physically and mentally exhausted, and had to hand over the task of checking Shi Gao to the retainers, and he specially went to receive the visits of these countrymen and wealthy families.

In addition to the normal gifts, some even sent their daughters to serve the princess, which also gave Sabei a headache. Is it their own fame and status that make them bow down to themselves, or are the people of Wakasa Province already without bones and have become flame-clinging people? Sabei hadn't figured out his thoughts for a while, but it was good to be more careful.

After spending five days estimating Sabei's actual stone height, Yamashita Shinsuke reported to Sabei. After looking at the stone height of 10,000 koku estimated by Yamashita Shinsuke and others, Sabei was a little relieved that Oda Nobunaga didn't pit himself.

After estimating the actual stone height of the territory, Sabei summoned his retainers to the assessment room. Now that Sabei's territory is concentrated near Kuniyoshi Castle, it is convenient to call on his retainers to hold an assessment.

Looking at the retainers in the assessment room, Sabei took out the Wanxing form written in his hand. First of all, Fushiwa Akijiro, who was a retainer at the head of the pen, was rewarded with 900 koku by Sabei Zhixing. And due to the need to govern Kuniyoshi Castle and Kuniyoshi Castle Town, Yamashita Shinsuke was given 700 koku to stay by Sabei's side. Suzuki Heavy Industries, which was originally going to be released, was also left by Sabei with 600 koku because of leg inconvenience.

The Kaima Yoshiya was awarded 750 stone by the Sabei because he completely defected to Sabei. Fujido Takatora was given 400 stone by Sabei Zhixing to go to experience. Sukeemon was left to serve by Sabei with 400 koku.

Sukeemon was also left by Sabei, because Sukeemon was still a monk, so he was appointed by Sabei to supervise whether the temples in the territory were in the domain.

After rewarding the main retainers, Sabei appropriately increased the salaries of some of his samurai. Due to the large increase in Yulu and Zhixing this time, Sabei has begun to encourage his retainers to build up their own armies. However, Sabei will not let the tragedy of Xia Keshang happen to him, and Sabei has already brewed a set of modern military systems.

However, before Sabei could improve his military system, the people of the country and the wealthy clans of Mikata County came to visit Sabei again. This time, he even sent some short guns, naginatas, and two and a half long spears to Sabei, and even sent more than a dozen iron cannons to Sabei. This made Sabei feel more and more extraordinary in this, so that Sabei not only did not accept these things, but also returned the gifts they had sent before and the original clothes of his daughter who came to serve the princess.

Such an abnormal thing naturally made the retainers around Sabei smell a hint of conspiracy, and for a while, Sabei and his retainers began to be wary of these countries and wealthy families. Among them, Fushiwa Akijiro pushed away five daughters of local servants who came to volunteer for public service, which made Yamashita Shinsuke and Suzuki Heavy Industries and others in Kuniyoshi Castle look at him with admiration.
