On September 26, the 11th year of astronomy, after a night of rain, the whole sky looked a little gray. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The rain at Tsugawa Castle had stopped for a while, and Soji Tsugawa stood on the castle tower of Tsugawa Castle and looked out at the distant scene.

Last night, Soji Tsugawa went to Kikuhime's residence and released his "repression" for so many days, and by the way, told Kikuhime about his arrangements for Takewakamaru.

When Kikuhime heard that Takewakamaru would inherit the family governor to the Tozawa family, she was so happy that she didn't know what to say, so she hurriedly "served" Tsukawa Soji again, making Tsugawa Soji feel "hollowed out" this morning.

"My lord, the political leader of Tozawa and Lord Tozawa Moritsuna, please see him." At this time, Takahashi Koke came to Tsugawa Soharu and interrupted Tsugawa Soji's thoughts.

Soji Tsugawa turned around and said, "Got it, I'll go right away." ”

"Hah!"

After a short time, Tsugawa Soji slowly came to the castle tower of Tsugawa Castle, and Tozawa Masashige and Tozawa Moritsuna hurriedly saluted, "I've seen the lord." ”

"Please get up." Soji Tsugawa nodded, "I don't know what the two of you are doing here today?" ”

Tozawa Masashiro and Tozawa Moritsuna have been transferred, and Tozawa Masaeshige now owns 2,500 stone Chiyuki east of Tsugawa Iwa Matsujo, and Tozawa Moritsuna also holds 1,000 stone Chiyuki of Otaka Castle. Tozawa Masashige's domain is located in the eastern part of Senhoku-gun, close to the Ou mountain range, and across the mountain is the barnyard family and the Waga family in the Mutsu area. And Hehe's family's important source of income and Hejin Mountain is located here.

The terrain of Senhoku-gun decreases from east to west, and the fertile areas cultivated throughout this area are located in the Kakujian River basin near Tsugawa Castle in the west. The area around Liuxiang City in the south is also not bad. As for the area of Kanazawa Township in the east, it is relatively barren, and the territory of Tozawa Masashige is the area of Kanazawa Township.

Tozawa Masashige was the first to speak, "My lord, my majesty and Lord Sheng Tsunade have come to report something to the lord this time. ”

"Say whatever you want." Soji Tsugawa said disapprehantly.

"Hah!"

"This time, I have thanked the lord for his arrangement for the two of us, although our territory has been transferred. But the lord is still very grateful for giving us so many knowledgeable ministers. Of course, this sentence is half-true and half-false, and Tozawa Masashiro and Tozawa Moritsuna's original knowledge and action are far more than the current knowledge and action. Masashige Tozawa's 2,500 stone and Tozawa Moritsuna's 1,000 seem to be a lot, and they can be regarded as the highest group of people in the Tsugawa family. But compared to the original knowledge and deeds of the two, it is relatively small, and the place where the transfer is still some barren land, which is very different from Yodogawa Castle before Tozawa Maseige.

But there is still some sincerity in Tozawa Masashige's words, after all, Tsugawa Soji is still kind, and basically kept the promise reached by the two sides before, which Tozawa Masashige and Tozawa Moritsuna are still very happy.

Tozawa Moritsuna, who was on the side, said loudly at this time, "In addition, this time Tozawa Masashige and I also sent our families, and we have to bother the lord to arrange a residence for the families of his subordinates. ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded, and said with a smile, "Well, you can go to Ogasawara Shinshi or Saigo Kizoku later." "Tsugawa Soji is still very satisfied with the attitude of the two of them, since they took the initiative to send their families, then it proves that at least the two of them are still sincere to their families.

"In addition, His Majesty's son Tozawa Moriyoshi hopes to leave his own family, and he also hopes that the lord will approve it!" Tozawa Moritsuna said slowly.

"Tozawa Moriyoshi?" Soji Tsugawa thought for a moment and said, "It's him, of course you can." "Tsugawa Soji still has an impression of Tozawa Moriyoshi, and the previous negotiations between the Tsugawa family and Tozawa Masashige and others were brought by Tozawa Moriyoshi.

"His Royal Highness is very welcoming to capable samurai, so let's let Tozawa Moriyoshi be the head of the family's Ashigaru Shogun, with an annual salary of 100 koku. How is it? Soharu Tsugawa said.

"Hah! Thank you, Lord. Tozawa said gratefully.

After finishing speaking, Soji Tsugawa, Masashige Tozawa and others suddenly fell silent, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

At this time, Tozawa Masashige suddenly said, "My lord, I heard that the lord seems to be interested in letting the lord's adopted son inherit the lord Tozawa's family?" I wonder if this is really the case? ”

"Here we are." Tsugawa Soji smiled secretly in his heart, "This is the original intention of your coming this time, I said so much before, it's all nonsense." ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded expressionlessly and said, "There is indeed such a thing. ”

"What, do you two have any questions about His Highness's arrangements?"

"Don't dare!" Tozawa Masashige and Tozawa Moritsuna hurriedly replied.

Tozawa Moritsuna continued, "It's just about the heir of my Tozawa family, so I want to confirm it." ”

"There's nothing strange about that." Tsugawa Soji said, "It has been discussed before, and after the destruction of Tozawa Masaan, the Tozawa family will be merged into the main family, and His Royal Highness will inherit the Tozawa family with one son. ”

"Hah!" Tozawa Masashige continued, "I just don't know whose son the lord's adopted son was............"

Tsugawa Soji suddenly realized, it turned out that he was asking Takewakamaru about the origin of the matter, to see if Tsugawa Soji didn't care about the Tozawa family. Because he was talking about the son of Tsugawa Soji before, but now he is an adopted son. You must know that although the adopted son and the son are both nominally the sons of Tsugawa Soji, there is still a gap after all.

If it is Tsugawa Soji's own son, after inheriting the Tozawa family, the governor of the Tozawa family is the biological son of Tsugawa Soji, then Tsugawa Soji will also take extra care of the Tozawa family, but now it is the adopted son who inherits the Tozawa family, and the two are worried that Tozawa Masashige and Tozawa Moritsuna will despise the Tozawa family in the future, which will have some adverse effects on the two who are former ministers of the Tozawa family.

Soji Tsugawa then explained, "Don't worry, although Takewakamaru is only my adopted son, His Royal Highness treats Takewakamaru as his own. His Royal Highness has no children under his knees, so he will inherit the Tozawa family after Takewakamaru, and His Royal Highness will then take more care of Takewakamaru. ”

Soji Tsugawa didn't say anything full, he just said that he would take more care of Takewakamaru. And Takewakamaru is the governor of the Tozawa family, so taking care of Takewakamaru is taking care of your Tozawa family, and the stakes are tacitly known.

Tozawa Masashige and Tozawa Moritsuna nodded with satisfaction at this time, and said in unison, "Thank you, lord!" ”

"It's nothing, since the two of you are already loyal to His Royal Highness, then you should also serve the Tsugawa family in the future!" Soji Tsugawa knocked.

"Hah!"

"Hmm," Soji Tsugawa nodded, "Do you two have anything else to do?" If not, that's it for today. ”

"Lord!" Tozawa Masashige said at this time, "The lord asked his subordinates to build the castle by themselves as a basis, but the construction of the castle is grand, and the cost is not small, and the lord can support his subordinates with some materials, and the ministers are grateful!" ”

Tozawa Masashige is crying poor, and it is also a silent indictment of Tsugawa Soji.

You Tsugawa Soji will transfer it to me, the key is not to give me the city, and let me build the city myself. It is impossible to say that there is no money for Tozawa Masashi to control Yodogawa Castle for so many years, but it is really difficult for him to come up with so much money to build the castle at once.
