When Rokuro Umino learned of the arrival of Soji Tsugawa, he hurriedly rushed back from the mine.

"I've seen the lord," Rokuro Umino said excitedly. Looking at the expression on his face, it was similar to a brain-dead fan. With a look of adoration, Soji Tsugawa jumped in his heart.

"Rokuro Umino, that's good. I was very satisfied with the matter of the bandits last time. Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

"Hey, thank you for the compliment."

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "I heard that a ronin named Sanada Nobukatsu lives in your house?" I don't know if I can recommend it? ”

"Hey, my subordinates are going to call Sanada-sama." With that, Rokuro Umino walked to the back of the house.

After a short time, Rokuro Umino came to the house with Sanada Nobukatsu.

"Soji Tsugawa, the head of the Shimotsugawa family, has seen Sanada-sama. It's a great blessing to see Sanada-sama today," said Soji Tsugawa with a smile.

"Lord Tsukawa has won the award, I don't know what happened when I came down?" Sanada Nobukatsu said calmly.

Soji Tsugawa hurriedly replied, "I heard that the Shinano Sanada clan is a hero, I wonder if Sanada-sama can become a member of the family?" The family waits for a vacant position as a general. ”

Sanada Nobukatsu was silent for a while. To be honest, for Sanada Nobukatsu, who is not a little famous, the position of a general is already very attractive, but Sanada Nobukatsu really has no plans to go elsewhere. This trip was just a matter of gaining knowledge, and he would eventually return to Shinano, where he was home.

After a long time, Sanada Nobukatsu replied: "Thank you Lord Tsukawa for your kindness, I have no intention of going out, and please don't blame Lord Tsukawa." ”

Tsugawa Soji was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Isn't Sanada-sama thinking about it more?" ”

"I'm really sorry, I'm just out and about. Before leaving, my brother Sanada Yukitaka repeatedly told me that I must return to Shinano within a year, and I had planned to say goodbye to Umino and return to Shinano today. ”

"It turns out that Lord Sanada Yutaka is your brother, and I have heard of Lord Sanada Nobutaka's demeanor for a long time, but I have never seen it before." Soji Tsugawa said excitedly.

"Oh? Is my brother's fame already so great? Even Tsukawa-sama, who was far away in Dewa, heard about it. Sanada Nobukatsu looked skeptical, thinking to himself, it wasn't to attract me to say this.

Of course, Sanada Nobukatsu would not know at all, Tsugawa Soji did know Sanada Yutaka and his family very well, but he knew it from some information and games in later generations.

"Of course, but even if Sanada-sama doesn't want to leave the family, how about staying a few more days? It's also good to do the best of the friendship of the landlord. Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

However, no matter how Tsugawa Soji persuaded him, Sanada Nobukatsu always insisted on leaving, and in desperation, Tsugawa Soji had to let Sanada Nobukatsu leave the Tsugawa family, but before leaving, Tsugawa Soji gave Sanada Nobukatsu a good horse, which can be regarded as a gesture of affection.

The so-called lost harvest of mulberry elm, Sanada Nobukatsu could not be recruited, but there was a person who took the initiative to take refuge in the Tsugawa family.

Inside the castle tower of Tsugawa Castle, Soji Tsugawa looked at the disheveled man in the hall with a confused expression.

The man spoke, "When I was under Ogasawara Shin, I met Tsugawa-sama. ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "Ogasawara? But Shinano Ogasawara family? ”

"Hey, although I have a strong confidence in the Ogasawara family, but because of the discord with the head of the family, Ogasawara Nagato, I moved my family to the Ou area, and I was able to see the demeanor of Tsugawa-sama, and I would like to leave the Shitsugawa family, and I hope that Tsugawa-sama will take it in." Ogasawara said sincerely.

"Oh? Have we seen this before? Soji Tsugawa said suspiciously.

"Lord Tsugawa doesn't know, but the day before yesterday, when you were helping the victims of the disaster near Osawa Castle, you were among them. I've heard of Tsugawa-sama's name before, but after seeing it in person, I'm sure you're the one who wants to become a leader."

Soji Tsugawa smiled and said, "I wonder what talent Ogasawara-sama has?" ”

"I used to hold a position in my own family, but then I was disgusted by the lord and had to resign." Ogasawara replied.

"Haha, since Ogasawara-sama looks up to my Tsugawa family, please take care of me in the future. In this way, I will appoint you as the economic director of my family, and I will help Saigo Muzo-sama expand the castle town of Tsugawa Castle with a salary of 10 koku a year," Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord!" Ogasawara said excitedly. Ogasawara Nobutoki didn't expect that he would be appointed directly as a commissioner just after leaving the Shizugawa family, and he couldn't help but be very excited.

"My family's Tsugawa Castle is still very simple, and I will need you to worry more about it in the future," Tsugawa continued.

"Hey, I'm going to build Tsugawa Castle for the lord," Ogasawara said loudly.

In this way, although Tsugawa Soji did not recruit Sanada Nobukatsu, he still had some gains. Although it is not possible to determine Ogasawara Nobutaki's talent for the time being, Shinano Ogasawara Iezugawa Soji still knows. As the four wealthy families of Shinano (the Suwa family, the Kiso family, the Murakami family, and the Ogasawara family), it was a big obstacle for Takeda Shingen to unify Shinano.

Ordinary samurai from famous families, even if they are not famous, still have a certain amount of talent, which is not comparable to ordinary samurai from civilian backgrounds.

With the addition of Ogasawara Nobutoki, Saigo Kizo was overjoyed. With a helper, it is more efficient to get things done. Ogasawara Shintoki also lived up to Tsugawa Soji's expectations, and planned the castle town outside Tsugawa Castle in an orderly manner.

Soji Tsugawa saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. It looks like he's really picked up a talent. In short, under the command of Ogasawara Nobutoki and Saigo Kizuku, the expansion and renovation work of Tsugawa Castle proceeded smoothly. And the family law of the Tsugawa family was also drafted with the efforts of Saigo Kicho and Togo Yoshisuke.

During the Warring States period, each daimyo established a special law to govern their territories. Among them, the most famous is the "Dust Mustard Collection" produced by Date Minoru Shu, and others such as the "Sagara Clan" of the Sagara family and the "Imagawa Catalogue of Names" of the Imagawa family are also famous.

At the request of Tsugawa Soji, Togo Yoshisuke and others continued to discuss a new law suitable for the current situation of the Tsugawa family for several days, and finally drafted some items.

Soji Tsugawa picked up the paper in his hand and looked at it, which was roughly divided into 3 parts.

The first part is the regulation of the people and the land, the second part is the classification of soldiers and peasants, and the third part is the restriction of the retainers of the Tsugawa family. Although it was still quite detailed, Soharu Tsugawa was not very satisfied.

Soji Tsugawa put down the entry in his hand and said to Togo Yoshisuke and the others below: "You have worked hard, I have also read the regulations you wrote, and I will tell you what I think..............
