In this situation, Date Minoru actually realized that perhaps there was indeed some kind of problem in his previous administrations.

Of course, this is not to say that he did wrong, it can only be said that although what he did did made the Date family strong, it did not echo the actual interests of the Date family! This feeling is like a rich man who has to take money out to do charity, although he has earned a lot of fame, so that the people know about this person, and everyone gives a thumbs up when they mention this person.

But what's the use of that? Because of this person's generosity, the family's income eventually decreased, and the living expenses of the son of the rich second generation changed from tens of thousands a day to tens of thousands a month. The benefits obtained by employees, shareholders, and partners who follow themselves continue to shrink every month and every year, and some even lose their interests at all.

So although this person's approach has made him famous, and he seems to be more stylish than before, he is already full of problems inside. It's okay if nothing big happens, as long as this person's reputation is still there, then everything may continue to maintain the status quo, although everyone has bitterness in their hearts, but they don't dare to say it.

However, once someone jumps out to administer "justice", especially when the person is the son of a rich man. These employees and shareholders naturally want to change this status quo and have turned to support the rich second generation.

Even if some people choose to support the rich for various reasons at the beginning, they will eventually defect to this rich second generation because of their interests.

The situation of the Date family is actually equivalent to this.

In the past, when the surrounding wealthy families asked for the Date family, Date Minoru would not hesitate to send troops to support, and after the army was dispatched, as long as the people took the opportunity to hand over the invitation, then Date Minoru would leave without anything.

It seems that Date Minoru has achieved his goal, and the Date family has an extra little brother. However, in fact, the little brother is only the little brother in name, and whether he listens to your Date family or not depends on the situation at that time. Echo the interests of the younger brother, then follow you Daddy boss, if it doesn't meet the interests, I'm sorry I didn't understand what the big guy is talking about.

What if the big guy wants revenge? That's simpler, wouldn't it be nice to hand in the surrender again when the call comes?

On the contrary, the retainers of the Date family, who really shed their blood for the Date family, did not get the slightest benefit. Because the main family Date did not increase the territory, naturally these retainers could not get a seal or something, at most they would give a comfort reward and some food money.

Once or twice, maybe the retainers just don't have much motivation. But over time, Lao Tzu also has opinions! MMP, although Lao Tzu is just a retainer, but Lao Tzu is also dignified, and he has made me a volunteer, so what does it mean for me to mix with you? You don't have a dream, I still have it!

This is also the reason why so many retainers joined Date Haruzong's side in this confrontation between Date Harunjong and Date Minoru!

It seems that after thinking this out, Date Minoru couldn't help but sigh if he had done something wrong.

Hearing Date Minoru's words, Xiao Liangchuan Zongchao said with a bitter face, "Hermit Lord, what does it matter who is right and who is wrong, as long as we can defeat the Qingzong Palace, we will naturally be able to re-establish your prestige as a hermitage adult!" ”

"What's the use of defeating it?" After hearing the words of Xiaoliangchuan Zongchao, Date Minoru looked at the other party helplessly, "I am already old, and sooner or later I will hand over the position of family governor to my successor!" Among so many sons, in addition to those who have already been passed out, only Jiro is the best candidate for the next family governor regardless of age or ability. ”

"What's the use of winning? Even if it weren't for the Ashina family's betrayal, wouldn't the family be affected? ”

"In the past, our horizons were still too small, if it weren't for the envoy of the Ashina family to the Tsugawa family this time, my vision would still be in this land of Mutsu, but even Mutsu is just one of the two countries of Okuha, and the entire Okuwa is only one of the world!"

"The Tsugawa family has risen too fast, and if the family continues to fight, it will be in danger of destruction. Now that the Tsukawa family has been initially unified, and the Mutsu family also occupies most of the Mutsu and Rikuchu, the reason why they have not shown hostility to the main family is also because the Tsugawa family needs to integrate the territory. ”

"I don't want to wait for the Tsugawa family to have the strength to send troops in the territory after the integration, but the family has just been reunited, such the Date family is definitely not the opponent of the Tsugawa family. What's more, there is also the Ashina family on the sidelines! ”

"So, I've decided to completely hand over the position of family governor to Jiro, and from then on I'll really find a quiet place to live in peace and seclusion......" After saying this, a look of self-deprecation and loneliness appeared on Date Minoru's face.

"What! How so? "Xiao Liangchuan Zong thought that he had heard it wrong, how could Date Minoru say such a thing in the face of today's good situation? If the position of the family governor is really completely ceded to Date Harune, then the good situation achieved by Date Minoru will not be completely in vain? It's understandable if the Date Minoru sect is at a disadvantage, but now it's the opposite that the Date Minoru sect is the one who has the absolute advantage.

Date Harumun has been forced to flee to White Rock City, and he doesn't even want to be in an embarrassing situation in Xishan City. As long as Date Minoru persists a little longer, when this year's autumn harvest is completed, he can completely defeat Date Harumune after the beginning of spring next year.

At that time, will the Date family be under the control of the Date Minoru again?

Seeing Xiao Liangchuan Zongchao's expression like this, Date Minoru was not surprised. To be honest, it is undoubtedly very difficult to make such a decision, especially for a daimyo who has been in power for decades, and giving up power is indeed a difficult thing to choose. Even if the person who takes over the power is his own son, who can say what needs to be given up?

"Kotaro, Dengo ordered, three days later, the assessment will be held in Nishiyama Castle, it's time to end this unfortunate thing!" After speaking, Date Minoru slowly closed his eyes.

Kotaro Kotaro, who was standing behind Date Minoru, bowed at this time, and then cautiously withdrew from the castle tower, Koka Kotaro, who was familiar with Date Minoru's character, knew that it was better not to talk more in front of Date Minoru at such a time.

The Xiaoliangchuan Sect in the hall naturally understood this truth, after all, the Xiaoliangchuan Sect had also done the side of Date Minoru Sect before.

.......

Three days later, the assessment was held in Xishan City as scheduled.

To the surprise of Date Minorune, when he announced that he was going to completely cede the position of family governor to Date Harumune and reunite the Date family, there were not many retainers who objected. Seeing this, Date Minoru was even more convinced that the decision he had made was not wrong, because these reactions of his retainers were enough to explain everything.......
