In August of the twelfth year of Astronomy, after a month of development, the Tsugawa family initially stabilized. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 With the efforts of the castle representatives and the lords, the castle has developed well, and the pacification of the people has been completed.

The new lords were very happy with the Tsugawa family's six gongs and four people's agricultural tax, and the Tsugawa family's various incentive policies made these lords very satisfied.

And the displaced people and bandits that were born under the successive wars were also cleared, and Saigo Kizo and others also counted the resources in the Onodera family. More than half of the territory of Hirako and Okatsu is mountainous, and the few plains are located in the area from Numadate Castle to Yuzawa Castle.

The resources in the territory are mainly timber, and there is a small iron mine near Matsuoka Castle, but there are many copper mines in the territory, and there are large and small copper mines in Yuzawa Castle, Inaniwa Castle and other places, and the important economic source of the Onodera family is to make "bad money" from these copper mines.

According to the current output, the Tsugawa family can now produce 500 "bad money" a month, which is also a lot of income.

In Tsugawa Castle, Tsugawa Soji is a little idle today, teasing Tsurumhime of Marvelous Maru at home. Yukihime and Xiaolan also looked at Soji Tsugawa with a smile on the side. Kikuhime also moved into Tsukawa Yashiki not long ago, and Tsugawa Soji officially took Kikuhime as a side room.

For Ju Ji, a hard-working woman, the kind-hearted Xue Ji and Xiaolan did not show hostility, and both of them gladly accepted Ju Ji.

"Your Highness, we have already made 50 jars of kimchi prepared by you for the concubine and Xiaolan before." Yukihime said with a smile.

Soji Tsugawa nodded. He replied, "Not bad!" How many people are skilled in making kimchi now? ”

"There are already more than ten people, and they are all done by the families of the retainers I am looking for!" Yukihime replied.

"Hmm," said Tsugawa Soji with a smile, "you can send a few altars to your retainers to taste and see what they think." ”

Yukihime smiled and said, "Your Highness, the retainers have all tasted it, and they all say that it tastes good. ”

"That's good!" Soji Tsugawa pondered for a moment and said, "Next, you inform Takahashi Xingjia and ask him to find Hirata Kinshiro outside the city, you can give him dozens of jars of kimchi first, and let him try to sell it in the collar to see how it sells!" If the sales volume is good, the production scale can be expanded. ”

"So how much is the price of kimchi?" Yukihime then asked.

Tsugawa Soji hesitated, kimchi is such a thing, to be honest, ordinary lords will definitely not buy it, so Tsugawa Soji sold it to retainers and merchants in the territory at the beginning, or other forces! So the price of kimchi is not too low, but it is not realistic if it is too high!

Soji Tsugawa thought for a moment and said, "Let's temporarily position myself as a consistent altar!" ”

After hearing this, Yukihime said in surprise, "Consistently? Isn't it too expensive? "You must know that the cost of a jar of kimchi is only a few dozen yuan, and it sells consistently all at once, and Xue Ji is really worried about whether anyone will buy it.

Tsugawa Soji said with a smile, "I know what you're worried about, but you also know the deliciousness of kimchi, and money has always been very expensive for lords and ordinary samurai, but our target is not them, and those wealthy families are already important retainers, and money is still acceptable for these people!" ”

"And I think once they've tasted kimchi, they'll love it!" Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

Tsugawa Soji's confidence comes from the standard of living of this era, even Tsugawa Soji, usually only eat some simple meals, and can not eat meat openly, sometimes can only quietly eat some wild deer and wild boar.

As for the heads and retainers of other forces, they are similar to Tsugawa Soji. Now that there is such a food as kimchi, which is "not expensive" and tastes good, these people who have been "suppressing their taste buds" for a long time will definitely rush to it.

For kimchi, Soji Tsugawa is very confident. Even when the standard of living was very high in later generations, people had a soft spot for kimchi. In this day and age, kimchi will undoubtedly conquer everyone.

"Okay!" Yukihime nodded, and Yukihime would not refute Soji Tsukawa's decision.

Xiaolan on the side said at this time, "Your Highness, Xue Ji and I have been staying in the house all day, I really want to go out for a walk!" Now that the weather is not lukewarm, can Your Highness take us out to play? ”

"What about Marvel Maru and Tsuruhime?" Soharu Tsugawa asked, "You can't take them out, can you?" ”

"We can take care of the maid and the nurse, and we only go around the city, and we don't have to go far!" Xiaolan pouted.

Soji Tsugawa said helplessly, "Can you go play by yourself?" There are a lot of affairs in the territory, and I'm afraid that I will come back to deal with government affairs before I have gone far. ”

"Alright then!" Xiaolan said helplessly: "Then we will go out by ourselves!" ”

"Remember to call Kenjiro Torima or Shinda Nobuyori to escort you with Ashigaru, don't be careless." Soji Tsugawa said with a solemn face.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Xiaolan and Xue Ji said with a smile.

Tsugawa Soji shook his head helplessly, then lowered his head and said helplessly to the wonderful pill in his arms and the crane on the side, "It's over, your mother doesn't care about you!" ”

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but after Tsugawa Soji finished speaking, Wonder Pill and Tsuruhime cried at the same time, causing Tsugawa Soji and Yukihime and others to laugh.

Time always flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day's leisure time passes, and Soji Tsugawa has to come to the castle tower again to deal with government affairs. Looking at the letters coming from all over the castle in his hand, Soji Tsugawa felt his head grow for a while.

These are all major matters that Ogasawara Nobutoki and Saigo Kizo can't handle, and they need to be decided by Soji Tsugawa himself. For example, the city needs to be repaired, where the road is damaged, where the river needs to be widened, and so on.

As the Tsugawa family grows stronger, there are more and more of these things!

"The Shimomura Pavilion needs to be expanded? Made, I'm still in this bird-like picture, no! Soji Tsugawa picked up the pen and drew a big X.

Then, Soharu Tsugawa picked up another letter and opened it and read it, "Tashiro Castle road repair? Well, this can be there, and the road over there really needs to be repaired! Wait, do you need 200? Made, are you building a concrete road?"

Soji Tsugawa threw the letter aside and sighed, "Alas! When will you be able to relax and relax! After speaking, Soji Tsugawa rubbed his face weakly!

Takahashi Koke, as the flag head of Tsugawa Soji, served as the responsibility of protecting Tsugawa Soji during the war and guarding Tsukawa Yashiki in his spare time. However, Takahashi has another job, which is to bring bad news to Tsugawa Soji when Tsugawa Soji is happy, and even worse news when Tsugawa Soji is unhappy.

For example.........

Seeing Takahashi Xingjia walking in with a solemn face, Tsugawa Soji was speechless for a while, something happened again!
