Chapter Seventy-One: The Way of Choice
Five days later, the clan and the monkey received the order from Nobunaga to return to the army, but at this time Nobunaga was not in Kiyosu Castle, but in Sumamata, when carrying out the Higashi Mino strategy, the clan was still a little puzzled, he and the monkey made such a big move in Higashimino, and the Saito family did not send a single soldier to support, which is also too strange.
It turned out that at the same time as they carried out the attack on Higashimino, Nobunaga was not idle, he led 5,000 troops to be stationed in Sumamata Castle, as long as the Saito family dared to send reinforcements, then Oda Nobunaga took this opportunity to take Inabayama Castle directly.
It can be said that if Nobunaga had not led the army to deter the Saito family in this East Mino Raid, it would have been impossible to take the entire territory of East Mino so smoothly with the strength of more than 1,000 troops of the clan and Kinoshita Toyoshiro.
Oda Nobunaga did not let the clan and Kinoshita Toyoshiro go to Sumata Castle for an audience, but quickly returned to Kiyosu Castle after leaving 3,000 troops in Sumata Castle.
As soon as the clan returned, he went straight to his home, and as soon as he entered the samurai mansion, he saw that in the courtyard, the two-year-old Matsutsurumaru was playing with Maeda's eldest daughter Yuki, who had left home.
Matsurumuru suddenly saw someone coming in, and immediately ran into the main hall, but fortunately he followed closely.
I only heard Matsurumaru say in a milky voice: "Mother, someone ......"
Listening to his speech, he walked into the main hall with a smile, only to see that in addition to Sakura, there were Maeda Toshiie's wife Amatsu and Yamauchi Kazutoyo's wife Chiyo, Amatsu and Chiyo saw the lord return, and after learning the news of her husband's safety, they retreated out of the hall with interest.
As soon as the two of them left, the clan quickly stepped forward, hugged Sakura in his arms, and said, "You didn't blame me for working you when I wasn't there." ”
"Don't blame yourself, my lord, my lord is fighting outside, how can Sakura blame my lord."
Just when the two of them were sweet, Matsurumuru ran behind the clan, raised his small fist, and smashed it towards the clan's thigh like raindrops, shouting while fighting: "You are a bad person, don't allow it."
… Bullying mothers. ”
Sakura Chong smiled awkwardly, picked up Matsurumaru and said, "Matsurumaru is good, this is my father, quickly admit my mistake to my father." ”
Matsurumu looked at the clan for a long time in a daze, and then called out in a low voice: "Father." ”
After hearing this, the clan was helpless, I really didn't know when this troubled world would end, only by ending it as soon as possible, could I have more time to spend with my family.
"Your lord, you're back." When Kagawa Tadaji and Nakamura Kazuji heard the news of the return of the lord, they immediately came to the main hall to meet them.
Sakura saw that the clan had something to talk about, and entered the inner room with Matsutsurumaru in her arms.
The clan smiled bitterly, he had just entered the house, and he had official business to deal with, I am afraid that even Oda Nobunaga was not so busy himself.
When the clan saw that Nakamura was back, he asked, "When did you come back, and how is the sparrow house in Kyoto?" ”
Nakamura Kazushi hurriedly replied, "My subordinates also just returned to Qingzhou City. After speaking, he said with a ashamed face: "My lord, the sparrow house in Kyoto is much worse than the one in Kaimachi. If it goes on like this, it will only earn more than 4,000 yuan a year, which is equivalent to about 30% of the sparrow house in the boundary town, and many ministers of the court and the central government have no money, but they love to compare, so far they are all on credit, because their status is too high, and their subordinates are afraid of causing trouble to the lord, so they accept it, and ask the lord to punish him. ”
Credit? Dare to go to Lao Tzu's shop on credit, hmph, it's okay for those wastes to scare and scare others with their official positions, but as long as they get to the sparrow house, the dragon has to be coiled for Lao Tzu, and the tiger has to lie down for Lao Tzu, not to mention those paper tigers. If you provoke Lao Tzu and let all the ninja army go to Kyoto, it won't take three days to send all these bastards to the western sky.
I only heard the clan sect say unhappily: "You tell me who there is, I want to see who dares to take credit on Lao Tzu's territory." ”
Seeing that the lord's face changed greatly, Nakamura immediately took out a codex from his arms, and while respectfully handing it to the clan, he said carefully: "Lord, this is the credit record up to the time when his subordinates left Kyoto, and please look at it." ”
After the clan took the codex, he opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp. This is really not a good idea, I was shocked when I saw it, no wonder Nakamura couldn't afford to offend, I'm afraid that even if he himself sat there in person, he would agree to these people on credit like him. ,
I saw that in the first column above, it was written: His Majesty the Emperor of Masakin-cho owes 452 guan...... Just seeing this, the clan felt a little incredible, the Japanese emperor actually owed Lao Tzu money? Is this wrong, even if you say it, I'm afraid no one will believe it. However, it is clear that the money owed by the emperor is estimated to be unpaid.
Looking further down, the second column reads that Prince Ren owes 395 guan. is a Guan Bai guard for a long time, owes 363 times. The two right ministers are three west official articles, and they owe 341 runs. The three powerful Nayan Shanke continued to say, owing 280 guan, and from the three Nayan Juting sunny season, owing 210 guan......
Seeing this, the clan is too lazy to look at it anymore, there are dozens of names densely written in the back, the further back, the less money is owed, and the last one only owes consistently, the clan sees this petty official who owes consistent money, and the heart of scolding people has it, and even the consistent money is worth owing, and I don't know if Lu Dao is sick in the brain.
While playing with the codex, the clan began to think that these expenses were owed for a year, and the total was about 2,000 kan, which was nothing for the clan with an annual income of about 25,000 kan, but if the money was used every year to pay off the minister, or even the emperor, then the income in the future would never be something that money could buy.
Don't look at these idlers who don't have any real power, but their influence is huge, and if they are used well, they will benefit immensely in the future.
Thinking of this, the anger of the clan has also disappeared, isn't it money, Lao Tzu has it. I only heard the clan said: "Nakamura Yishi, you have done a good job in this matter, they are still of some use, and you still have to have a good relationship with them, so let's do it, give 2,000 yuan to Kyoto Sparrow House every year, and all the accounts of the minister on credit will come out of these 2,000 yuan, but you remember, there are only 2,000 yuan a year, and it is up to you to order how the money should be distributed." ”
After listening to this, Nakamura Kazushi felt like a boulder falling to the ground, and hurriedly said: "The lord is wise, but the lord, my subordinates want to follow you and don't want to go to Kyoto anymore, so please ask the lord for permission." ”
The clan thought about it, Kagawa Tadaji was in charge of the family's belongings, which was enough for him to be busy, and it was time to keep a retainer to manage internal affairs. "Okay, since you don't want to go back, it's better to stay, but if you get out of there, there won't be any problems with the sparrow house in Kyoto, right?"
Kazushi Nakamura patted his chest and said, "My lord, please rest assured, the Kyoto Sparrow House is on the right track, even if there are no subordinates, there will be no problem." ”
