Chapter 898: Target Ueno
After seeing it, Ryuomaru couldn't help but say, isn't this belittling himself, although Gentaro's understanding is good, but now he is not his opponent after all, but for the happiness of his sister, Ryuomaru still gritted his teeth and said, "Father, what my sister said is right." After speaking, he couldn't help glaring at Haruko fiercely.
"In that case, let him be a close attendant."
"Thank you, father."
"Huh? What are you thanking for, don't let Genjiro get me in. ”
This is the first time that Genjiro has been summoned after he was born, although he has seen the main hall from a distance before, but such a close distance, and there is a conversation between them, this is definitely the first time, nervousness is inevitable, and the clan has no intention of embarrassing him, seeing that he is so nervous, he just made a simple arrangement and let him leave.
As for the marriage between the two families, they couldn't talk about it with these juniors, so after they left, the clan immediately sent a close attendant to invite Sanada Masayuki over. Fortunately, Sanada Masayuki saw his son before he came, otherwise, he would have been caught off guard by this.
But he is willing to marry the lord, but he can't help but consider the affairs of the Sanada family, and now Genjiro has also become the lord's close attendant, and will soon become the son-in-law of the lord, although in this era, it is still the eldest son to inherit, but once his second son has such an identity, then the heir of the Sanada family is not easy to decide. Although in his heart, he still hopes to be inherited by Xinzhi in the future, but whether he can do this or not depends on the will of the lord.
With this in mind, Sanada Masayuki walked into the castle tower, and the family members around the clan had already left at this time. Only one person left in the room.
"Subordinates, see the lord." After meeting the clan. I saw Sanada Masayuki hurriedly saluted and said.
"No courtesy. This time, the military advisor was invited to discuss the marriage of the two children, and the military advisor should be clear about the two children, since the two children are willing, then I think that there is no need for me and you as fathers to stop it, adults think. ”
Since he already knew the purpose of the lord calling him to come, Sanada Masayuki listened to it. There was no expression of surprise, just heard him speak: "What the lord said is that the lord is in charge of everything. Merely...... The subordinates thought that it was a little inappropriate for the two sons to become the lord's close attendants, and maybe this matter would affect the unity of the family, so the subordinates felt that it was better to allow Nobuyuki to return to the Sanada family, so that the retainers would not have any opinions. I don't know what the lord thinks. ”
Sanada Masayuki said this because he was worried about what the retainers had in mind, and more importantly, he wanted to use this to test the lord's mind. Let's see if the lord has any plans to let his second son inherit the Sanada family, if there is, then the lord will definitely agree to his suggestion, if not, then Sanada Nobuyuki should give himself a sentence even if he puts it back.
The clan was very clear about Sanada Masayuki's thoughts, and only listened to him speak: "Masayuki, you are still so cautious, I don't care about the internal affairs of the Sanada family, and in my heart, Xinzhi is still very capable, otherwise I would not have recruited him as a close attendant, as for Genjiro, since Haruko likes it, then let him go, so you don't have to worry about anything." ”
Hearing this, Sanada Masayuki finally let go of his heart completely, and even his eternally tense face rarely showed a smile, after all, for Sanada, whether it is the heir of the family business or being able to marry the princess, it is a great joy, and being able to marry the lord is definitely the highest honor as a retainer.
So I just heard him smile and say: "Thank you for the success of the lord, my subordinates will come to propose tomorrow." "Since the lord has agreed to the marriage of the two children, then the matter of proposing marriage must be said by himself, after all, this is the Sanada family marrying a wife, and it can still make the lord openly ask for it.
"Chang Xing, I haven't seen you smile for a long time, you might as well smile more in the future, don't freak out my daughter with that face." Clan Zong said jokingly.
"After the world is settled, my subordinates promise to laugh every day." It's rare, Sanada Masayuki couldn't help but joke while being happy.
"I'm really looking forward to that day." The clan did not continue to joke with him, but said with a sigh.
Sanada Masashi saw that the lord suddenly sighed, and couldn't help but say firmly: "My subordinates believe that it won't be long before the world will be calm, and my subordinates have always been very confident in this." ”
"Okay, I don't have any other orders, you go."
These days, the clan has put down all the military and politics, and devoted himself to the family, and even in recent days, he doesn't even care about the situation in the world, after all, he has been busy for more than ten years since he came out, and it's time to give himself a big vacation, especially at present, the strength of the family is not afraid of any force, especially in the case of instability within the Hojo family, and don't worry about who will attack Xinjia at this time, such a good time, don't take a break, I'm really sorry for my body, So the day after the clan ended the conversation with Sanada Masayuki, he took his family and went to Mount Fuji, of course, Sanada Nobuyuki did not have this blessing, just yesterday, the clan thought about it for a while, and finally put him back in the Sanada family.
What Sanada Masayuki said yesterday is the same as his own thoughts, that is, if Sanada's two sons are both serving as close attendants, then this is enough to prove that he values the Sanada family, although the retainers will not say anything in person, but what they think in their hearts, it is unknown.
Although the status of the clan in the hearts of the retainers will definitely not be shaken in any way because of this matter, the key is how they view Sanada Masayuki, once they have any opinion of Sanada Masayuki, then, how will he command for himself in the future, he has just suffered a big defeat in the battle with Uesugi again, and his reputation in the family has dropped a lot, so in order to protect Sanada Masayuki, he can't help but do it.
Of course, putting Sanada Nobuyuki back does not mean that the clan is not optimistic about him, so it was clear to Sanada Masayuki yesterday that the matter of the heir of the Sanada family should be handled by himself, not only the Sanada family, but also other retainers in the future, and the clan will never interfere much in the matter of inheritance. Otherwise, this is not only not helping the retainer solve internal problems. It's a complete mess. Just like Oda Nobunaga interfering with the Maeda family, although the goal of letting the Maeda Toshiya inherit the family governor was achieved in history, but the Maeda Toshiya did not have a good time after inheriting the family governor, and a large number of retainers ran away, which led to a lot of decline in the Maeda family's combat power, but fortunately, the Maeda Toshiya had a good staff at home, and there were still many supporters. Otherwise, the Maeda family may collapse, but even if it doesn't collapse, it will also affect the performance of the Maeda Toshika, otherwise, with his ability and the interpersonal relationship in the Oda family, how could he only get more than 30,000 stone of land in the house when Nobunaga finally made the partition, and even if it was a monkey on the throne, after the Maeda Toshiya became a million-stone daimyo, the retainers still did not slow down, otherwise with so many stones. The Maeda family's famous retainers will not only be Murai, Okumura and a few other retainers with good ability. It can be said that Nobunaga interfered in the succession of the Maeda family, knowing that Tokugawa had opened the shogunate, and he did not slow down, with Nobunaga's experience, of course the clan would not do this, and the Sanada family was one of the retainers he relied on, and he must not be allowed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Mt. Fuji is located between Kai and Suruga, the two countries divide this mountain equally, the northern foot of this mountain is Kai this side of the Fuji Five Lakes, although these lakes are beautiful, but the clan does not want to go, where is the lake, especially after he has been to Lake Biwa, he really has no interest in this, and he is not the only one who has such thoughts, and his family also wants to go to the southern foot to play.
The southern foot is a vast plateau area, if the plateau is planted with crops, it is really not interesting, this time I took my family out to play, not to volunteer labor. Not only is this not the case, but the grass is continuous, and it is said that on this plain, there are herds of cattle and sheep. In this way, the clan must go once, because in addition to the tour, he has more important things to do, that is, to solve the problem of food and grass in his own family.
In Japan in this era, as long as people can live, whether samurai or civilians, they don't eat meat, they only eat fish and shrimp, although fish and shrimp are rich in nutrients, but they are not enough to increase people's strength, and even affect development, otherwise today's Japanese will not be so short and thin, even if they are samurai who practice martial arts all year round, it is still the case, although they are more stocky, but the problem of height has not been solved, so the clan has prepared to promote meat, which has several benefits, The first can solve the problem of his cravings, he is indispensable for meat before crossing, and he has not touched beef and mutton for more than ten years since he crossed, what shabu mutton, potato stewed beef, roast lamb leg...... He can only think about these things in his dreams.
Of course, with the current strength of the Gao Shan family, as long as there is something on this land, he can't eat anything, but the problem is that in this era, only untouchables, and untouchables who can't survive, go back to eat animal meat, if the Gao Shan clan eats it, then it's over, it will definitely make the world laugh, and this will even affect the decision of the samurai who are ready to come to the Gao Shan family, after all, who wants their lord to always treat himself as a pariah. Therefore, the clan thinks that if you want to solve the craving, then it is definitely not possible to eat by yourself, but if you bring the people in the collar to eat together, it will be different, which is equivalent to turning a small thing into a big thing, and it can definitely be called a reform, and the clan believes that this is definitely a reform that will be remembered by future generations. As for whether it can succeed, the clan is not worried, after all, he has his own lead, and in addition to his reputation in Xinjiafei, as long as he recognizes it, there is absolutely no possibility of failure, which is different from changing the system, wanting to reform the system, it touches the interests of all the samurai class, fortunately, he can stop it in time, otherwise it will not be long before there will be uncontrollable consequences. But this grain reform is different, first of all, this beef and mutton is absolutely edible, and as long as you are used to eating it, it is still very delicious. It is relatively easy to let the retainers, the military and the civilians in the territory accept, and it is not to ask them to eat at once, besides, if you don't want to eat, you don't want to eat it, you can not eat it, even if it is those ashigaru of the Takayama family, the clan does not intend to force it, meat is just supplementary food, if you don't eat it, then gnaw on the rice balls, this clan will never stop it.
In addition, another benefit is to enhance the people's physique, this is not just a slogan, how to increase the people's physique, of course, is to exercise more and eat more meat. In this era, it is needless to say that the people exercise, they want to stay still all day, but unfortunately if they dare to do this, then no matter who will definitely starve to death, there is no subsistence in this era, especially for civilians, if you don't farm, that is, there is no food, and there are not a few people who starve to death in every disaster year. Now that the problem of exercise has been solved, then there is only the problem of increasing nutrition, the people in the clan are bitter, because the three countries of Jiaxinfei are not close to the sea, so fish and shrimp are not rare in the country by the sea, but they can be transported to the territory of the clan clan, then it is terrible, the price has at least doubled, in this way, this is not something that ordinary civilians can consume, so their daily food, in addition to rice, is only pickles, of course, the clan knows that the civilians in the territory, especially the villages in the mountains, Eating animal meat has long begun, but this is still a minority, and once it is fully promoted, the food of the people will be improved, and their physique will also be enhanced.
Finally, and most obviously, it can be used as military rations, which is currently the most important thing in the hearts of the clan. It is also the most important problem to be solved at present, the food of the Takayama Army is definitely the best in this era, not to mention what Ashigaru eats, but at least when other forces are still eating two meals a day, after the Takayama Army is formed, it has always been three meals a day, and after the separation of other forces from the soldiers and peasants, Ashigaru can only eat rice balls, pickles, but on this basis, Ashigaru can occasionally eat some fish and shrimp, kimchi, greens and other dishes. Of course, it is necessary for the clan to do this, after all, looking at the world, although the Takayama family's ashigaru food is the best, but the training is also the most tiring, and when there is no war, these ashigaru will train for four hours every day, and will also arrange additional training according to the requirements of each commander, if you can't keep up with the meal, then it is still very difficult to persevere. I didn't think about it before, but since the defeat to Uesugi Kenshin, the various armies of the family have been constantly training, so if the food is not strengthened, then there is no need to fight with Hojo, and if you continue to practice like this, you can train yourself to waste.
