"Okay, these unnutritious words, let's keep them for later, I want to know your intentions, if you want to assassinate me, you have already done it just now, since you didn't do it, I believe you must have something to say." I just listened to what the clan said.

Wind Demon Kotaro was not a pretentious person, so he just listened to him ask straight to the point: "Since Takayama is anxious, then I won't talk nonsense, may I ask Takayama-sama how much income is in a year, and how much is the annual savings!" ”

After hearing this, even the clan sect, who had always remained calm, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the other party would be interested in his own income and expenditure, his head would not be burned.

The clan didn't say it directly, but asked curiously, "I don't know why Lord Wind Demon suddenly remembered to ask me this question?" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, who would have thought that Wind Demon Kotaro would actually yell: "Answer me quickly!" ”

After all, now that he is still in his hands, who knows if he will suddenly go crazy in Lu Dao, so even if he doesn't know the reason for Lu Dao, the clan can't help but talk about it.

"In addition to the income of the territory, there is also a sparrow house that can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, a gold mine, which can earn about 100,000 yuan a year, an iron cannon workshop, which can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, and a timber business, etc., and the total income should be 300,000 yuan a year. However, now the timber business has just started, so the actual income is about 200,000 yuan a year.

It seems that you can make a lot of money in a year, but the territory has to be built, and in the last few years, you have to pay 6,000 gold judgments every year for the purchase of iron cannon production lines, and you also have to pay your retainers and Ashigaru's Fengroku. Even if there is left, there will not be too much left.

Of course, if there are financial difficulties in the Wind Demon, the clan is willing to support a part, and they should all make friends, I don't know what the adults think? ”

When the clan clan finished speaking, it was now the turn of the wind demon Kotaro to be surprised, he didn't expect the Takayama clan to be so rich. That's an annual income of more than 200,000 yuan, but he can still owe foreign debts, which is really not something ordinary people can do.

Since the Takayama clan is so rich. He was relieved, only to hear him ask again: "Let me ask you again, with the current ability of the Takayama family, can you raise two thousand more ninjas?" ”

If the clan didn't know what the purpose of asking him about his income was before. So when the wind demon Kotaro finished speaking, he had already figured it out, didn't the other party want to come to himself, if that's the case, then even if he is poor, he must raise enough money to recruit them to his command, then the family not only has another upper ninja whose strength is not under the hundred land tamba, but also the ninja army under his command is more than three thousand, with such a number, even compared with Iga and Koga ninjas. It's not much worse, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you have to seize it anyway.

And the Wind Demon Kotaro saw that the clan didn't speak for a long time, and he frowned slightly, thinking that he was embarrassed by this. After all, even if he has money, he owes a lot of debts, and he may not be able to raise so much money, at least in a few years.

As for whether the Takayama clan wanted to recruit himself and the ninjas under his command, he didn't think much about it, as long as he wasn't a fool. And if you have enough funds, you will definitely not refuse.

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the current situation, he has no reason to refuse, once he is loyal to him, then the situation in Hida will completely change, the number of Takayama Army plus the ninja army under his command will be nearly double that of the Takeda Army, with this force, not only can the Takeda Army be defeated, but also can completely drive the Takeda Army out of Hida, Wind Demon Kotaro believes that it is absolutely impossible for the Takayama clan to think of this. …,

Now I'm afraid that he has this heart, but he doesn't have this strength, if he has no money, he and his brothers can't live by drinking the northwest wind, and it is imperative to return to the high mountain family, except here, no one will look at themselves squarely.

Seeing that Takayama's brows were furrowing deeper and deeper, Wind Demon Kotaro had to take a step back and said: "There are still about two thousand three hundred ninjas under my command, and the Fenglu I gave them before was a monthly consistency, if Takayama-sama feels embarrassed, then I can take a step back, and the adults only need to pay eight hundred wen per person per month for the time being, but this is already the bottom line, and it must not be less, if Takayama-sama agrees, I will be loyal to the adults in the future." ”

"What, it's only eight hundred wen per ninja per month? You're all right, that's a ninja. ”

The clan frowned tightly just now, and didn't speak, not because he couldn't afford to pay the fee and felt embarrassed, but because he was thinking about how to make good use of the ninjas in the Wind Demon after they were submitted.

As far as he knows, there are more than 2,000 ninjas in the Wind Demon, and the rest must still be in Sagami, if they are allowed to destroy it while the Takeda family is in Shangluo and the territory is empty, then Takeda Shingen's old boy will not be angry to death, even if he can live healthily, the looted money should be enough to make up for the losses caused by this war to the family.

Just when the clan was thinking about how to operate, he suddenly heard the wind demon Kotaro talk about the treatment of the human army, so he said a little out of shape.

Although when the family ninja army was just established, the treatment of ninjas was indeed much lower than that of Flag Ashibashi, but that was no longer known how many years ago it was, and now the year of the ninja of the family has long been the same as the flag of the ashigaru is twenty times a year, and the wind demon Kotaro said the number of eight hundred, isn't it a deliberate attempt to destroy the unity of the family, according to what he said, there are more than 2,000 ninjas under his command, and he only needs to spend more than 40,000 more per year, and now that Jinshan has arrived, there is no problem at all in recruiting them all.

Wind Demon Kotaro will be wrong, but this is indeed his bottom line, eight hundred wen a month, only enough to live, if there is less, then he will not be able to explain to the ninjas under his command at all.

So I only heard him speak: "Lord Takayama, it is true that there is no less, if it doesn't work, then it can only prove that I have no chance with Lord Takayama." ”

Hearing him say this, the clan couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Wait, you misunderstood, I mean that eight hundred bun is too little, the treatment of the ninja of this family is the same as that of the flag ashigaru, twenty times a year, and the middle ninja can enjoy the treatment of the ashigaru, I mean to recruit the ninjas under your command according to this treatment, as for you......"

Speaking of this, the clan clan thought for a while, and then continued: "This family has always attached importance to merit, although your skills are not small, but your status will definitely not be too high, so let's start with the lower-level samurai, of course, if there is meritorious service, there will be another reward, since you led the wind demon to defect to me, then I believe you should have known from the intelligence what kind of attitude I have towards ninjas, if you decide to be loyal, my Takayama clan will definitely not lose words." ”

As soon as the clan clan finished speaking, he only heard the sound of "dang", and the knife on the clan clan's neck fell to the ground, almost not injuring the clan clan, and now the wind demon Kotaro's heart was not as simple as shock, but was completely shocked by the words and deeds of the Takayama clan.

If the Gaoshan Clan Sect could recruit the ninjas under his command at a price of eight hundred Wen, he would already be satisfied, but the other party actually more than doubled on this basis, he knew that most of the powerful Lu Li family masters' close servants were only two times, and he was now a little skeptical that those ninjas under his command were worth so much money.

And the treatment he gave to the middle ninja turned out to be the same as the ashigaru, although he had heard of it before, but he didn't fully believe it, after all, no powerful force would care about the middle ninja, the Takayama clan was able to recruit them, it was already a big gift, but when he heard what the clan said was the same as the rumors, he was surprised at the same time, but he was also happy for his group of old brothers. …,

As for what identity the Gaoshan clan gave him, he didn't care, with his own ability, it was not easy to make meritorious contributions, and it was completely possible to become an important minister of the Gaoshan family at that time.

Ishikawa Goemon and the others on the side saw that this assassination ended in this way, and they all felt unbelievable, before the time of a pillar of incense, the two sides still saw each other, and now the wind demon Kotaro has decided to be loyal to the lord, if the brain is a little slower, it is really difficult to turn the corner for a while.

Now they are like wooden stakes, and it is not good to step forward to protect the lord, nor can they quit, so they have to stand like this.

The knife had already landed, and I saw the clan bend down, pick up the enemy's ninja knife, and after handing it to the wind demon Kotaro beside him, he said: "If you want to become a samurai of the Takayama family, then you must not leave the weapon in your hand until you are out of danger, I hope you can remember this." ”

"Yes! The subordinates only remember the teachings of the lord, and the subordinate wind demon Kotaro sees the lord. Wind Demon Kotaro first inserted the ninja knife into the sheath, then hurriedly took a few steps back, knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Okay, I now appoint you as the commander of my family's ninja army, and give you the status of a general of the ashigaru, as for the authority, it will be determined later."

For such a resignation, Wind Demon Kotaro is not dissatisfied, if he is loyal to the Takeda family, he only gives himself the status of the lowest samurai, not even Ashigaru, and now he has directly become the Ashigaru general, although he has not yet left the category of lower-level samurai, but he is confident that after the end of this battle, he will be promoted, after all, if you want to defeat the Takeda army outside the city, the role you can achieve is undoubtedly huge.

So I only heard him say from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you to the lord, my subordinates will swear allegiance to the lord and the mountain army." ”

"Well, get up." After speaking, I heard the clan say to the other ninjas in the house: "Ishikawa Goemon stays, and the others will exit the castle first, and ask Wasuka Masakatsu and Mizuse Uemon to come to the castle tower to meet up closely." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
