Chapter 13: The Law of the Long Tail Warrior Family

Just after Asada's reading of the Imagawa family and the Takeda family's law, he could only conclude that both had their own characteristics. The prominent center of the Takeda family's law is that the lord violates the same crime as the lord. The Imagawa family was somewhat merchant-oriented, and various usury-type treaties.

Ryunu gathered all the retainers she could trust, such as Saito Asanobu, Kakizaki Keiie, Usami Josami, Naoe Keitsuna, Honjo Minoru, and Kanazu Shinbei, and asked them to work together with Asada, Asada, and Ota Shimasa in the military chamber to formulate a samurai law suitable for the actual situation in Echigo.

Among these people, Minoru Honjo is the teacher of the Dragon Maiden, Usami Dingman is a military advisor, Naoe Keisuna is a commissioner, Kakizaki Keike and Saito Asanobu are all one of the Nagao Seven Hands Group, and Kanazu Shinbei is an old minister. It can be said that the people who stay in the military chamber are all retainers who can do their best to serve the Nagao family.

"The Imagawa family's samurai law is more free, and the Takeda family's law is too harsh." Naoe Keixuna's words are a little like adopting the Imagawa family's law.

"Yes, if it is according to the laws of the Takeda family, even the lord may not want to implement it." Kakizaki Keijia doesn't look at him as a fierce general, but he is also a good hand in internal affairs.

"How about first screening out the Imagawa family's law that suits the family's family, and then changing it?" Asanbu Saito offered a compromise plan.

"Indeed, the Imagawa family is strong because of such a law. The power of the Takeda family was all plundered and manipulated by Takeda Harunobu! "Usami knows which is real and which is false.

"Then use some of the Imagawa family's laws and start choosing." Minori Honjo took a copy of the Imagawa Kana catalogue and began to transcribe some laws suitable for Echigo.

After the eight of them discussed it all day, they finally came up with a more acceptable 'Long-Tail Martial Arts Law' in the evening.
