Due to the subjugation of Oda Nobuken, all the original old domains were returned to Oda Nobunaga, and the territory of about 100,000 koku was increased at once, and now the territory is more than 300,000 koku.

In addition to Oda Nobukiyo, Owari Province also owns 50,000 koku of Niwa County, and most of Chita County is still controlled by the Imagawa family, so Oda Nobunaga basically unified Owari.

Hosokawa Nobumoto, who returned to the territory, did not go now, and directly convened an evaluation meeting.

"Congratulations to the lord Wu Yun and prosperous!" All the retainers of the Hosokawa family have already arrived, and this time, in just half a year, the territory of the family has tripled, which really makes them feel excited.

"Well, now that the head of the family is 2,400 stone high, I have decided to start recruiting, do you have any good suggestions?" Hosokawa Nobumoto felt that it was time to build up his own armament.

"Back to the lord, at present, according to the proportion of the Oda family's peasant soldiers, about 120 people can be mobilized." Honda Masanobu is now basically the chief military division of the Hosokawa family, and all affairs are reported by him, and he is also the only one among the people who has been promoted to the head of the Ashigaru group.

"Hmm~~~120 peasant soldiers." Hosokawa Nobumoto's fingertips tapped the floor discordantly in thought. [Hey~~~ Since I am used to seeing the professional soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, this Japanese peasant soldier is simply making up the number of words, and it is okay to fight a good fight, there is really a vicious battle, and he runs faster than a rabbit. You must know that the current Japan, as long as the casualty rate reaches 5%, it will begin to collapse, and if it can reach 10%, it will be elite. And these 120 peasant soldiers? Hehe, wouldn't it be possible to collapse after six people died? Although Hosokawa Nobumoto's calculation is not very accurate, because it is calculated according to the total strength of the battle, the peasant soldiers are indeed too useless.

[Is it necessary to establish a standing butilu in advance?] But this person can't dominate the whole battle. Oops, it's annoying! Hosokawa Nobumoto really realized the difficulty of being in charge, this person is not something that can be recruited if he wants to.

"My lord?" Seeing that Hosokawa Nobumoto had no words for a long time, Honda Masanobu opened his mouth and asked, he was afraid that the lord's soul would fly out of the sky again.

"Huh? Oh, where did you just go? Hosokawa Nobumoto asked again unconsciously.

The local Zhengxin had a black line, so he had to say it again from the beginning.

"The peasant soldiers can't do it, it's useless! Do you guys have any great ideas? Hosokawa Nobumoto directly denied the peasant soldiers.

"Uh~~This~~." The retainers looked at each other, and due to the ideological constraints of the times, they could basically only think of the peasant soldiers.

"Could it be that the lord wants to emulate the Ming Dynasty? Establishing a Standing Foot Light? Honda Masanobu thought of this point after a little thought.

[Yes, it seems that the decision to take them on a trip to broaden their horizons was the right one.] Hosokawa Nobumoto's appreciative Okimoto Tamasanobu nodded.

"But ~~ In this way, production will be delayed, and even so, only 60 standing standers can be recruited, but this number is so scarce will also affect the battle." Honda Masanobu also has a lot of headaches about this.

The others also frowned and thought, "Then since local recruitment is not good, why not hire outside?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice came from the door.

"Rude! The lord is discussing with the important ministers inside, which turn will it be your turn to speak? This is the voice of Keikakan Uta in the head of Ma Hui's pen.

"Who's out there? Come in. Hosokawa Nobumoto was not angry, and beckoned the people on duty at the door to come in together, and the people in charge of duty today were Keikane Kiyota, Takue Kiyohiro, Kanemaru Uemon Captain Shoji (Heihachiro), Kagawa Tadaji, and Treasure House Yinei, who was talking at the door just now.

"Huh?" Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't expect that it was this reckless man who could only dance with a knife and a gun to give advice, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yinrong, how did you come up with it?" ”

"Huh? How did you come up with it? This is normal with us, and our subordinates used to have no money to drink, so they also went to do this errand. Yin Rong of the Treasure Courtyard touched his bald head and said stupidly.

"Uh~~" Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly thought of the Iga ninja, but the third husband of Hyakchi had a good price negotiation with him, [Do you want to recruit the ninja army?] Let's see how much money our family has first.]

"Kiyobei! How much money does the family have now? "Seeing Kagawa Tadaji present, I wanted to take a test to see if he had any intentions, because the Hosokawa family had been adrift in the early years, and there was nothing to spend and distribute, so they were all kept by Ushichiyo, and now that they have a territory, it's time to establish a complete financial system.

"Back to the lord, my family has 127,540 money." Tadaji Kagawa is in contact with the Hosokawa family's finances almost every day, so opening his mouth is a very accurate number.

"What! How can there be so many? Hosokawa Nobumoto was so shocked that he thought he had heard it wrong, and all the retainers were also dumbfounded, they had never seen so much money in their lives.

"Lord Konishi's exploration trade with Daming a while ago made a profit of more than 600,000 yuan, which was calculated as two percent of the profit of the Gongfang Palace, two percent of the profit of Lord Wang, two percent of the profit of Lord Hirado, and two percent of the commercial houses in the three towns of Beijing, Jie, and Hakata, and the rest of it was just delivered to the family." Even though Kagawa Tadaji already knew that there was a lot of profit, he couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement.

"Hahaha! Rich! Boss! Come ten big kidneys! Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly got carried away.

"Huh? Big? Kidney? "Provoked the retainers to be confused.

"Uh, hehe, it's okay, it's okay. Since this is the case, I will spend money to recruit, but I feel uncomfortable when I think of the third wife's greedy face. "Even if he decides to spend money, Hosokawa Nobumoto doesn't want to pay that intermediary fee, and if he has that money, he can recruit another batch.

"Uh~~ Lord, my subordinates heard that Iga is now, and even the surrounding area is spreading the demeanor of the lord back then, and it seems that there are still many people who have already regarded themselves as members of the Hosokawa family, waiting for the call of the lord." Takuto Kiyohiro hesitated for a moment and said.

"Oh? How could this be? Hosokawa Nobumoto never expected such a profound significance. He lowered his head and thought about it and said, "Sanzhicheng! Give you a task, I don't care where you go, recruit me a hundred people with outstanding martial arts, don't care what your background is, just tell them. I want to set up a samurai team on horseback, and I will give him samurai status if he is able to do it. ”

"My lord, but the cost of forming a samurai team on horseback is not small." Honda Masanobu said worriedly.

"We have so much money, what are we afraid of! It is more than enough to form a thousand people, you must know that the reason why Shibata Katsuya is called the first fierce general of the main family is not because he has more than 100 cavalry, and he has made great achievements! "Hosokawa Nobumoto is now a little carried away, and it is very rude to call Shibata Katsuke by his name.

"Please be careful!" Honda Masanobu hurriedly corrected.

"Uh~~ Forget it, Sanzhicheng, you can do it. By the way, let's call Daoshun together, it's all from Iga, and it happens to have a companion. After speaking, he waved his hand at Takuzhi Qingguang.

"Yes! The subordinates will do it, and they will definitely live up to the high expectations of the lord. "Takuto Kiyohiro took the order and went out.
