Chapter 70: A New Plan
"So, how did you get those 10,000 yuan? I didn't expect you to be so rich, why didn't I know before? "Oda Nobunaga is not such a foolish person at all, and Hosokawa Nobumoto's series of abnormal styles are very questionable.
"Huh? 10,000 times, 10,000 times~~ Well, isn't 10,000 times that Mrs. Ikoma gave me? Hosokawa Nobumoto flickered with a pair of big sincere eyes.
"Huh?" Oda Nobunaga forgot about the stubble of the borrowed money. "Well~~ In that case, forget it, everyone is already dead, so be it. It's okay, go back and develop your territory. Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and blasted him back to Odakajo.
Hosokawa Nobumoto, who returned to Otaka Castle, looked speechlessly at the houses in the city that had been destroyed by fire. "Hey~~ Look at your own evil, you can't live. The city that he worked hard to build was burned beyond recognition by himself by a fire first, and he had to pay for repairs out of his own pocket when it was finished. ”
"Masuda Nagamori! The reconstruction of the Great High Castle will be left to you. "Looking back at the people who followed him, he singled out Masuda Nagamori, who was more good at internal affairs and land surveying.
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will definitely renovate Dagao City." Masuda Nagamori received the order in a steady tone, and his character is to endure loneliness.
"Do you have any plans?" Hosokawa Nobumoto thought for a moment and asked.
"My lord, first of all, my subordinates will renovate the city wall to make it stronger than before. Secondly, I will renovate the castle tower, which will be the residence of my Hosokawa family, and I will make sure that the lord lives comfortably. If the lord feels small, his subordinates can re-expand. Masuda Nagamori replied very neatly, and it seemed that he had also thought about it.
"Well, yes, you have the heart to be able to plan ahead, but that's not what I want." Hosokawa Nobumoto first recognized his ability, and then raised objections, which made Masuda Nagamori unsure.
Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't blame him, just because of the limitations of this era, all he considered was expansion, renovation, and reconstruction, so Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to create his own idea and let him go to the construction according to the drawings.
"Come and see!" Hosokawa Nobumoto pulled out a scroll of drawings and beckoned Masuda Nagamori to come over, which was a sketched plan of the surroundings of Odaka Castle.
"This is the Great High City." Hosokawa said, pointing to a large square in the picture.
"So big!" Masuda Nagamori could see the area of Otaka Castle at a glance, and their group of people had been practicing sand table work since childhood, so they could understand the drawings as soon as they got their hands.
"That's right, I decided to expand Otakajo Castle all the way to the coast of Isewan and build a military dock that could set up a naval army and firmly choke the Owari entrance to Isewan. If you want to pass, you must hand it over to us for water transportation, just like the current inland sea transportation of the Ming Dynasty, it is a reason that it must be handed over to the Ming people, from which to earn transportation fees, and to ensure the safety of people and goods. "Hosokawa Nobumoto's finger drew a circle on the diagram, indicating the range of movement of the water army.
"Well, that means there are no checkpoint fees or tolls, just simple transportation fees. If there is only a difference in this point, the subordinates think that the merchants should not have a problem, because they must also be transported by water. Moreover, it can be transported and safe, which is equivalent to spending a sum of money to get double protection. It's just that there is no water army in the family now. "The plan is a good plan, and Masuda Nagamori is also very optimistic, but the embarrassing thing is that the Hosokawa family does not have a water army at present, and if it is re-established, it will not be possible to form it in a year and a half.
"We are slowly developing the water army, and now the main water forces in Ise Bay are the Kitada water army of the Kitada Gujiao of Ise, the Hattori water army of Nagashima, and the Saji water army of Chita County. The Kitada Navy was mainly active in the area from Kumano to the entrance to Ise Bay, and the Saji Navy controlled the sea transportation in Ise Bay, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. At the time of the Battle of Barrel Sasama, if the Saji family had been on our side, perhaps the Hattori Navy would not have tried to attack from the sea. Originally, Hattori's navy controlled the shipping of the entire Tsushima island, but now we have completely crippled it and are cowering in the Nagashima area. Now that there is no Hattori sailor's shipping, the merchants of Tsushima are looking forward to it, waiting for the voyage to do business. Hehe" said this, Hosokawa Nobumoto couldn't help but be happy, this is simply waiting to send money.
"My plan is this, the sea ships will be transferred from Kaimachi, so that we will have another new sea trade route from Kaimachi to Tsushima. Konishi Lonzo has been very effective in Kaimachi over the years, especially by sea. Since the exclusive maritime trade with the Ming Dynasty can be carried out, the merchant ships of this family have actually been developing, from scratch, from small to large, and now they can be transported independently, no longer need to borrow other people's ships, and save a piece of transportation costs. Moreover, Konishi Lonzo is also very good at being a person, and has a very good relationship with the pirates who pass through the waters along the way of the merchant ships, especially the Murakami water army, both of whom are said to be so good that they can wear a pair of pants. Speaking of this, Hosokawa Nobumoto couldn't help but think of a plan to include the Murakami Navy in the Hosokawa family, and decided to go back and implement it after this reconstruction.
"Let's use the merchant ships of Kaimachi first, and then develop our own navy. As for the rest of the trolls...... Let the master master of Kamiizumi go to the Ise Kitada house, the current head of the family, Kitada Gukyo, is also a martial idiot, let the master master show his hands, he will naturally open the door to convenience. The Sakushi Navy has now joined the family, cooperating with George for the sake of co-op and jointly monopolizing the shipping of Ise Bay, I think he should not refuse because of the affection I brokered for him last time. Then contact the Wasuka Koroku of the Kawanami Nami, and connect the river transportation from the Kiso River to Mino, so that the three companies will unite, and the shipping through the north and south will bring huge profits. Oh, in the end, I have to send someone to kill Hattori Yusada, and he is an eyesore in the province, and it just so happens that the lord also wants his head. "It's coming, Hosokawa Nobumoto has not forgotten to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Lord, lord. You've been talking about the development of the navy and the development of maritime business, which is to make your subordinates responsible? Or do you convey orders to Konishi-sama? Masuda Nagamori couldn't help but interrupt his lord's YY, as if he had nothing to do with building the city.
"Uh~~~" Hosokawa Nobumoto noticed that they seemed to be off topic, and said with a roll of his eyes. "Well, I mean for you to write it down, and Ronzo Konishiro will convey my order to pave the way for this major plan to come."
"Yes, my subordinates have written it down, and after that, I will convey the order of the lord just now to Master Akizumi and Lord Konishi." Masuda Nagamori didn't ask much, and took the order very consciously.
"In this case, you might as well add another order, let Konishi Ryozo fool Murakami Takeyoshi to send his sister-in-law to General Yoshiki as a small surname, and then let Nakajima Akinobu in Kyoto find a way to ask General Yoshiki for someone, the general's family has collected so much money from me, this little thing should not be a problem." Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to carry out his evil plan.
