When Soharu Tsugawa finished eating the soaked rice in his hand "with tears", it was already afternoon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The sun hung in the air, and a long-lost warmth came. Soji Tsugawa stretched his waist and sat under the porch of the small courtyard quietly thinking about something.

"Now that the Tsukawa family has unified Senbei County, how should we develop next?" Soji Tsugawa thought in his heart, "If you go north, you will inevitably come into contact with the southern family and the Andong family, and with the current strength of the family, you can't touch these two." ”

"Not to the east, the Spo family has long dominated Spo and Iwate Counties, and their power has long been entrenched. Moreover, the strength of the Sibo family is not comparable to the current Tsugawa family, so they can only give up. ”

"The Onodera family in the south doesn't need to move for the time being, and now the relationship between the Onodera family and the main family is still in a relatively friendly state, and they can't easily provoke a war. After all, the strength of the Onodera family is slightly stronger than the main family. ”

"In this way, we can only fight to the west!" Soji Tsugawa secretly made a decision in his heart.

"Yuri-gun and Kawabe Prefecture to the west are both counties that do not have strong forces, and the Kameda family in Kawabe Prefecture did not send troops to rescue Yodogawa Castle last time, and Anton Yaoji is very angry about this, so maybe the Kameda family is the next target of the family. However, in the case of Yuli County, although the strength of the individual wealthy families in it is not strong, it is a large force when united. In addition, the Daihoji family and the Anto family in the Shonai area are more or less connected with the wealthy families of Yuri County, and they affect the whole body. ”

Just when Soji Tsugawa was thinking hard, Yukihime slowly came to Soji Tsukawa's side.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Yukihime sat next to Soji Tsugawa and whispered.

Soji Tsugawa turned around, smiled and hugged Yukihime into his arms.

"How did you get out?" Soji Tsugawa asked.

Xue Ji smiled and said, "It's too stuffy in the house, it's rare to get out of the sun today, so it's good to come out and bask in the sun." Seeing His Royal Highness sitting here alone, it seems that he has something on his mind, can he talk to the concubine? ”

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the future direction of my family." Soji Tsugawa said slowly.

Xue Ji nodded and said, "Your Highness, you don't know much about these aspects, but Your Highness shouldn't work too hard, you still have to relax when you have time." ”

"Hmm" Soji Tsugawa smiled slightly and said, "As soon as I got home and saw you and Xiaolan, I was very relaxed, and the feeling of home, like today's sunshine, was very warm." ”

"yes," Yukihime said wistfully.

Soji Tsugawa saw that Yukihime's face was a little far-fetched, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Highness, the concubine is just thinking about the matter of Takewakamaru."

"Takewakamaru?" Soji Tsugawa was puzzled and said, "What's wrong with Takewakamaru?" ”

"I didn't really care about the concubine before, but when Takewakamaru came to the house, His Royal Highness seemed to be unusually good to Takewakamaru, I don't know why His Highness would be like this adopted son?" Yukihime said unhappily.

It turned out that Yukihime saw that Soji Tsugawa usually didn't have a similar attitude towards Takewakamaru like he treated an adopted son. It can be said that he was treated like his own son, which made Yukihime both puzzled and a little worried. After all, although Takewakamaru is an adopted son, he is also qualified to inherit the Tsugawa family. In the past few days, seeing that Tsugawa Soji has been so good to Takewakamaru, Yukihime has become a little anxious.

Although she is pregnant, she doesn't know if it's a man or a woman, and when she thinks that Takewakamaru has become an adopted son first, isn't this a trouble for her son in the future?

Although Yukihime is kind-hearted, these issues are also something that Yukihime has to consider, because Yukihime is the wife of the main room of Tsugawa Soji, and if the next generation of the Tsukawa family's family is not the heir of Yukihime and Tsukawa Soji, Yukihime's situation will be a little embarrassing.

As soon as he heard Yukihime say this, Soji Tsugawa seemed to understand something, and hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness has already considered the matter of Takewakamaru, so you don't need to worry about Yukihime." "It's not that Soji Tsugawa doesn't really have any other ideas, it's just that as a person in later generations, he still likes children like Takewakamaru very much.

"Takewakamaru is still young, and when I grow up, I will pass Takewakamaru out again."

Yukihime then asked, "Do you want to pass on?" I don't know which one it was passed on? ”

Tsugawa Soji thought for a moment and said, "The Tozawa family is not in charge yet, and His Royal Highness has decided to inherit the Tozawa family with a son, so that the relationship between the former retainers of the Tozawa family and the family can also be wooed. So in a few years, Takewakamaru will inherit the Tozawa family. ”

"I see." Xue Ji became happy at this time, "I thought His Highness had other ideas, and I scared the concubine to death." After saying that, Yukihime pretended to be angry and pouted.

Soji Tsugawa laughed, "What can His Highness think?" Takewakamaru is not my parent, so Takewakamaru has no chance to inherit the family. It's not that His Royal Highness can't give birth to a son, and now that you and Xiaolan are pregnant, His Highness is even less anxious. Now that we are in the prime of life, as long as we work hard, will there be fewer sons in the future? After speaking, Soji Tsugawa looked at Yukihime with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Your Highness." Yukihime replied embarrassedly.

"Speaking of which, it's almost October, and it's about to be the autumn harvest in the family's territory, and my father's death day is coming, how are you preparing?" Soji Tsugawa asked suddenly.

Xue Ji nodded and replied, "It's already ready, and on September 29, I will go to Dongshan Temple to pay respects to the ancestors." ”

"Also, Your Highness, do you need to let the retainers participate in this ceremony?" Yukihime then asked.

Tsugawa Soji thought about it, shook his head, and said, "No need, this time is the time when the affairs of the territory are busy, so don't let the retainers go back and forth again." On the day of the ceremony, I, you, and Xiaolan will go. ”

"Yes!"

Now the Tsugawa family's territory has expanded again, and the retainers are getting busier and busier. As the expansion of Tsugawa Castle is nearing completion, it is necessary to arrange for the residents of the vicinity of Tsugawa Castle to move into their new homes in addition to the autumn harvest.

The western side of Tsugawa Castle was rezoned as a residential area for the lords, and the castle town was almost built. The Tsugawa Castle area and even all of the Tsugawa family will begin to pay attention to the development of commerce in the next period of time.

In the past, there were basically no castle towns in Senhoku-gun, and even if there were, they were only small castle towns, and they were like small markets formed in the middle of several villages. Since Tsugawa Castle is a flat castle, it is expected that the castle town will be built very large. If nothing else, the future commercial center of the Tsugawa family will be Tsugawa Castle.

Senhoku-gun is located in the interior of the Tohoku Ou region, and there are few merchants who come and go. Most of them are coastal ports with frequent commercial exchanges, and then rely on the Omono River to radiate inland areas.

Now that the Tsugawa family controls the middle and upper reaches of the Omonogawa River, it is expected that the business of the Tsugawa family will begin to develop rapidly. (To be continued.) )
