However, Yoshikage Komura's worries are destined to be unnecessary. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
How could Soji Tsugawa break up someone else's love because of these things?
"Haha! In that case, then you can discuss the wedding date with Sakurahime's family, and I will definitely be there in person when the time comes! Soji Tsugawa said with a smile as he looked at Yoshiki Komura with a worried and panicked face.
"Really?" Yoshiki Komura said excitedly, "Thank you, lord!" ”
"However, after you say this, I think that there are not many retainers in the family who seem to have wives." Soji Tsugawa gently touched his chin and said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"That's true." Yoshikage Komura also replied, "Yoshikawa-sama's wife is said to have died of illness at an early age, and there is only a seven-year-old son, and he has not yet continued the strings. Miki-sama, Kanna-sama, Yagyu-sama, Tsumaki-sama, and Akechi-sama have not yet started a family. ”
In fact, the retainers of the Tsugawa family are basically some old bachelors. Most of the retainers are from ronin and commoner backgrounds, and the Tsugawa family has been busy with various wars for a long time, so they don't have time to solve the affairs of the other half.
Like Akechi Mitsuhisa, Tsumiki Hirohiro, Toyama Takakei, and Kinoshita Heijiro, from Mino to Dewa, it is impossible to take his wife with him. And Miki Naogo, Kanna Toshinobu and others did not have a chance to start a family, which caused the vast majority of the current retainers of the Tsugawa family to be old singles.
Even some retainers are in the age of establishment or are about to be 30 years old, and they have not yet started a family, so they don't blame Komura Yoshijing Sichun, this is inevitable.
However, Soharu Tsugawa had a different issue in mind. "I'll go, if none of these retainers are married, then what will happen to the next generation of my Tsugawa family? When these old ministers are all old, who will take over when the time comes?"
Thinking of this, Tsugawa Soji also realized the seriousness of the problem, and said to Komura Yoshikage with a solemn face, "Yoshikage, you can count all the retainers above the ashigaru general in your family as soon as possible, which ones have not yet become married." ”
"As soon as the statistics come out, report to me immediately, it seems that it is time to solve the problem of singleness among the retainers." Soji Tsugawa said slowly.
..............
"What! His Royal Highness wants to be a matchmaker at home for a retainer who has not yet started a family? After returning home, Tsugawa Soji informed Yukihime and the others of his plans for today, and immediately heard an exclamation from Yukihime and the others.
"yes!" Tsugawa Soji nodded helplessly and said, "Most of the retainers are still alone, and I can't bear it." Moreover, if the retainers do not become families, won't the talents of the next generation of the family be scarce? By then, Marvel Pill and the rest of the children had grown up, and they didn't even have a few decent playmates around. ”
"But, with such a large-scale marriage, where can we find so many suitable women?" Ju Ji on the side also spoke.
Soji Tsugawa smiled and said, "This is not difficult!" Although most of the family are young retainers, there are always a lot of old retainers. Tozawa Masashige of Kanazawa Castle, Tozawa Moritsuna of Dataka Castle, and Rokugo Masamichi of Rokugo Castle are all years of confusion, so my daughter must have some."
"Moreover, there are so many wealthy clans who belong to the family, and aren't there still hostages sent by these wealthy clans in Ueno Castle now? The number of people is completely sufficient. Soji Tsugawa said confidently.
"The daughters of the retainers are fine, as has been the case since ancient times. However, if the daughters of those wealthy families are combined with the retainers of their own family, if there is a change in the future, it will inevitably cause instability in the family. At this time, Xue Ji said with a worried face.
What Yukihime said also makes sense, if the subordinate wealthy families marry the retainers of the Tsugawa family, although it does play a certain role in winning over the wealthy families. But I'm afraid that if these wealthy families have any different intentions in the future, the situation of the retainers will be a little embarrassing at that time. Although the loyal retainers will of course choose to side with the Tsugawa family, on the one hand, it is the wife's maiden family, which will still have some impact.
Tsugawa Soji thought about it carefully and felt that what Yukihime said still had some truth, but after thinking about it again, Tsugawa Soji still said, "There is no need to worry about this. The strength of the family is getting stronger and stronger, and the wealthy families are not all fools, they know what to do. ”
"Stupid, they've all disappeared from this world now." Soji Tsugawa said expressionlessly.
"However, what Xue Ji said also makes sense, and then Xiaolan and Ju Ji will start to choose some ladies with gentle temperaments among the princesses of the collar and the wealthy family. Xue Ji is pregnant, so she has a good rest during this time and must not be tired. Soji Tsugawa said softly.
"Yes! Your Highness. Xue Ji and the three of them hurriedly said with a smile.
Xiaolan raised her eyebrows at this time, and said, "If you choose a good mate for your brother, I must check it well." My sister-in-law must be a gentle person. ”
"Good! Haha, when the time comes, Xiaolan, you have to keep your eyes open, haha. ”
"Haha!" After Soji Tsugawa finished speaking, Yukihime and the others couldn't help but hide their faces and laugh.
..............
And as Tsugawa Soji wanted to be a matchmaker himself, the news of selecting a school-age woman to marry an unmarried retainer of the Tsugawa family spread in the collar, which caused an uproar again.
After receiving the news, many retainers, such as Masashige Tozawa and others, hurriedly selected daughters of appropriate age from their families, and those who did not have daughters selected the daughters of their brothers or women who were related to them and sent them to Ueno Castle.
And the wealthy clans belonging to the Tsugawa family also hurriedly sent people to Ueno Castle to investigate the situation after receiving the news, and the wealthy clans were certainly unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity to get closer to the Tsugawa family.
And the unmarried and eligible retainers in the family also showed great enthusiasm for this, and they went to Komura Yoshikage to sign up, and Komura Yoshikage counted the number of people without much effort.
But it's okay if this is not counted, as soon as it is counted, the results are Rao is Komura Yoshikyo and Tsugawa Soji were prepared and were also taken aback!
According to statistics, among the retainers of the Tsugawa family, there are 18 unmarried retainers with the position of Ashigaru General and above! Half of the retainers of the Tsugawa family (Ashigaru Shogun and above)!
And some of the ashigaru leaders and even the samurai who led the team began to find the lords of each city, the city representatives, and the officials to whom they belonged, saying that they had also reached the age when it was time to marry a wife.
After receiving the news from various city lords and generals, Tsugawa Soji also had a headache. There are so many retainers and samurai who want to get married, but there are not so many women of the right age in the family.
Originally, Soharu Tsugawa was going to solve the family problem of the retainers with the rank of Ashigaru Shogun and above, but as the situation intensified, the enthusiasm of the lower-ranking samurai in the family was also aroused, and if they really didn't care about it, it would be unreasonable.
So Tsugawa Soji hurriedly issued an order, asking Komura Yoshikyo to count the rosters from the city lords, city generations, and generals, and then select the woman in the "good family" in the territory, and now, the entire Tsugawa family is also boiling!
