On November 2, the 11th year of Astronomy, when scattered snowflakes began to fall in the sky, it was a cold winter for Senhoku Prefecture and the entire Ou region. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Inside the castle tower of Tsugawa Castle, Saigo Kizo knelt down in front of Tsugawa Soji and said, "My lord, this year's winter is a little earlier than last year's." ”

"Well, and the temperature is a lot cooler than last year." Soji Tsugawa tightened the clothes on his body, and before it was fully winter, Soji Tsugawa felt a chill.

In his previous life, Tsugawa Soji, who was located in the southwestern inland region of the Celestial Empire, had always lived in a place where there was not much snow in winter. At the lowest temperature of the year, it is basically around 5 degrees Celsius. It's been almost three years since I came to RB Sengoku, and although I've begun to get used to the climate here, I'm still a little uncomfortable.

"How's the people settled?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

Saigo Kizo replied with a smile, "All the people who were affected by the last fire have moved into their new homes, and the food and other supplies they need to survive the winter have been distributed, and the food for the next spring plough has also been distributed. ”

"Well, that's a good job." Soji Tsugawa praised.

"In addition, the war in the past few days made it impossible for my family to spare time for a short time. The retainers and ashigaru who were meritorious in the war some time ago have not yet had time to be rewarded. Soji Tsugawa continued, "Have you counted the relevant situation?" ”

"The last war affected almost all the territories of my family, and my subordinates only counted the approximate data according to the reports of each retainer, and the detailed situation can only be reported by each retainer." Saigo Muzao said slowly.

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa nodded, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Hah!"

"In the last few joint battles, the family killed a total of 4 samurai, 23 standing ashigaru, 17 peasants, and 9 people in the lord's banner." Saigo Kizo said solemnly, "In addition, there are 11 Ashigaru who are seriously injured, and even after recovery, I am afraid that I will not be able to fight, and even my daily life will be extremely difficult." ”

"Has the ashigaru pension for the war dead been distributed?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.

Saigo Kizo nodded and said, "All of them have been distributed, and the 11 seriously injured Ashigaru have also been given a reduction in agricultural taxes and a follow-up food subsidy in accordance with the law of their own family." ”

"Hmm." Tsugawa Soji nodded heavily, "The family can develop and grow, and these are indispensable. It is their bloodshed that has enabled the family to survive many difficulties, so in the future, all the ashigaru who died in battle must strictly enforce the laws of the family, and the bereavement and subsidies issued must be in place. Even if it is deducted from my ration, it must be deducted. Since the law of the family has been promulgated, it must be implemented in accordance with the above terms, and the people must not be chilled. ”

"Hah!" Saigo replied with red eyes. Soji Tsugawa's words moved Saigo Kizo very much. In this era, lords like Soji Tsugawa are rare, and there may even be only Soji Tsugawa alone.

"In addition, the rest of the meritorious retainers and ashigaru, in three days, the family will hold an evaluation meeting, and all the retainers must be present, and you will send someone to inform you later."

"Yes!"

While speaking, a maid outside the castle tower slowly walked into the hall, bowed to Tsugawa Soji and Saigo Kizo, and then said, "Your Highness, Madame said that lunch is ready. ”

"Well, I see, you go down first, and I'll come later."

"Yes!"

After the maid left, Soji Tsugawa turned his head and said with a smile, "It's not too early, so why don't you go to the meal with me." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, your wife's wife is still waiting at home, so I won't bother my lord." Saigo Muzo hurriedly replied.

"Haha, that's good." Soji Tsugawa didn't force it, and got up and left as he spoke.

When I returned home, I smelled the aroma of the food across the old Yuanzu River, and the gluttonous worms in my stomach were instantly hooked.

"Yukihime, what did you prepare for lunch today?" Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

"Your Highness, what else can there be, it's just rice and fish." Yukihime is a little anorexic these days, it's not that she can't eat, it's just that she doesn't have much appetite.

Soji Tsugawa looked at Yukihime's bulging belly, and hurriedly sat beside Yukihime's waist and hugged Yukihime's waist, and said with a smile, "It's about to be winter now, there are not many seasonal vegetables, and the river is about to freeze, I'm afraid there will be no fish in the next few days." ”

"Alas, I don't know why, the concubine has been out of appetite lately. Although I can barely eat some things, I can only eat as much as I can when I think of the child in my belly. Yukihime said with a sigh.

Don't have an appetite? This made Soji Tsugawa a little difficult.

In later generations, greenhouses were full of vegetables, and even in winter, you could eat some fresh vegetables, although the price was more expensive than usual, but it was not unaffordable. But where did the greenhouse vegetables come from at this time?

When I think of the greenhouse vegetables, Tsugawa Soji's eyes are bright, this is an opportunity to make a fortune, it seems that after a while, I will have a good communication with Saigo Kizo and Ogasawara Shintoki.

But I can't get any vegetables in a short period of time! Huh? Soji Tsugawa suddenly thought of something.

"Yukihime, what kind of big jar do you have at home?" Soji Tsugawa asked.

"Jar?" Yukihime thought for a moment and said, "There should be one in the kitchen." ”

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa nodded, and said to a maid standing aside, "Go look in the kitchen, and if you have one, bring a jar." ”

"Yes!"

After a short time, the maid held a large jar and placed it in front of Tsugawa Soji.

Soji Tsugawa walked over and looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, the size is just right." ”

"Your Highness, what are you looking for an altar for?" Yukihime asked curiously.

"Hehe, weren't you still worried about not being able to eat vegetables in the winter? I've come up with a great idea to give our Yukihime a vegetable diet in the winter, and to whet your appetite a little. "Soharu Tsugawa sold a sukki.

Xue Ji's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said excitedly, "What's the idea?" It has such a miraculous effect! ”

Without waiting for Tsugawa Soji to answer, Xiaolan in the house also walked out with a smile and said, "What are Your Highness and Madame Snow talking about?" Let the concubine listen to it? ”

"Xiaolan, just now His Highness said that there is a way for us to eat vegetables in winter." Yukihime hurriedly said.

"Really?" Xiaolan also said excitedly: "Your Highness, what is your idea?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Soji Tsugawa smiled and said unhurriedly, "I can't tell you yet, but you'll know in two days." ”

"Oh, Your Highness, tell us quickly!" Xiaolan walked quickly to Tsugawa Soji's side at this time, took Tsugawa Soji's hand, shook it from side to side, and sprinkled coquettishly.

It is said that usually Xue Ji or Xiaolan will make Tsugawa Soji helpless, but today I don't know why, Tsugawa Soji is unwilling to be affected, shook his head and said firmly, "I just won't tell you!" ”

"Okay, okay, do more than 5 days, and you'll know."

"Quick, don't talk about it. If you're all hungry, eat first. ”

Seeing that the usual tried and tested coquettish Dafa was useless, Xue Ji and Xiaolan had no choice but to stop asking questions, and sat down to eat with Tsugawa Soji. For a while, the atmosphere in the house was restored............
