"The lord has decreed that after this banquet in Ueno Castle, there will be a review of the Tsugawa family's military strength! Each city of the family will send its own elite ashigaru to compete, and the first person in the competition will be rewarded! ”

"The first place in the collective will be rewarded with 50 yuan per person! The second place winner is 10 pieces each! The third place is 5 pieces each! The solo winner will be awarded Samurai status! In addition, the samurai who are in the position of the leader of the Ashigaru will also hold a martial arts competition, and the first person will be given a sword, and will be honored to be selected as the flag of the lord! ”

"There will also be a big prize for 2nd to 10th place!"

Outside Ueno Castle, the old Komura Yoshiki of the Tsugawa family, wearing a "gorgeous" big armor, rode on a war horse, and said loudly to the more than 1,000 elite soldiers selected from various cities in the Tsugawa family's territory, "You are all elite soldiers selected from all over the family's territory!" The lord once said that Ashigaru who doesn't want to be a samurai is not a good ashigaru! A samurai who doesn't want to be a castle lord is not a good samurai! ”

"Tell me out loud if you want to be a good ashishita!"

"Yes!"

"Samurai of the Tsugawa family, do you want to get ahead!"

"Yes!"

"Since that's the case, then everyone will cheer up and look forward to the demeanor of tomorrow!" Yoshiki Komura clearly knows how to boost morale, and in just one sentence, more than 1,000 people will be motivated.

"Huh......" Komura Yoshiki wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then quietly stuffed a note in his hand into Guzu, and then turned back to the group of Tsugawa family samurai standing behind him and said, "You guys each practice the strength of the troops under your command, the relevant matters have been made clear by the lord yesterday, so I won't repeat it here!" ”

"In short, the lord is very interested in tomorrow's review. Although there is no precedent for this family or even the whole RB, since the lord has high hopes for this, then I, as a retainer of the Tsugawa family, should share the worries of the lord! Yoshikai Komura continued.

"Don't worry, Lord Komura, we will live up to our expectations!" After Komura Yoshikai finished speaking, Yoshikawa Hiroke and the others behind him suddenly replied with excitement.

"Hmm!" Yoshikei Komura nodded, and then rode his war horse towards Ueno Castle, and he had to go back to Tsugawa Soji to get his life back.

As soon as Yoshikage Komura left, Yoshikawa Hiroke and the others immediately scattered, each looking for the strength of his own troops. Now the Tsugawa family is strong, and the combat effectiveness of the ashigaru is extremely strong, but the samurai in the family are also unconvinced.

For example, the five-color preparation is recognized as the strongest combat strength within the Tsugawa family. Huang Bei's Yoshikawa Hiroshi and Bai Bei's wise Mitsuhisa are working each other, and tomorrow they are bound to compete for a high and low!

.........

Ueno Castle castle town, Yoshinoya.

Yoshino Yoshino's current industry can be said to be spread throughout the Tsugawa family's domain, and this merchant house in Ueno Castle Shimo-cho is one of the best.

Yoshino Ryoshi carefully picked up a golden gold coin on the desk in front of him, and then looked at it carefully for a while and suddenly showed a satisfied look, "Yes, the color and appearance are all upper!" Shiro Sakagami, how many coins can be made tomorrow at the current pace? ”

Shiro Sakagami was a goldsmith who was mainly responsible for creating some gold jewelry, and this is the only one of the houses in Yoshino's industry where gold jewelry is sold. After all, gold jewelry is still a luxury item, and it is impossible to afford it anywhere other than Ueno Castle, which is the foundation of the Tsugawa family.

After hearing Yoshino's question, Shiro Sakagami lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "This gold coin was minted in strict accordance with the pattern drawn by Tsukawa-sama, and it took a lot of time because I had no previous experience in minting. But now that it's been minted, it's relatively easy to follow. ”

"At present, there are more than 20 craftsmen in Ueno Castle, and if you rush to make them overnight, you can cast at least 1,000 pieces, which is just in line with the instructions given by Lord Tsugawa!" Shiro Sakagami originally wanted to say 1,500 pieces, but after thinking about it, he said a relatively conservative value.

"How much does a gold coin like this cost?" Yoshino then asked.

Shiro Sakagami hurriedly replied, "According to the size of the gold coin, a gold judgment can only mint two gold coins. ”

"1,000?" Yoshino Ryoshi frowned, "The lord only gave me a small judgment of 200 gold, and if 1,000 pieces is used, doesn't it mean that I have to pay 300 gold judgments for the Yoshino Merchant House?" That's nearly 4,000 times! ”

However, after carefully examining it, Yoshino Ryoshi still gritted his teeth and said: "1,000 pieces is 1,000 pieces, as long as I can complete the task of the lord, only 4,000 pieces, I Yoshino Ryoshi is still willing to do it!" ”

Yoshino Ryoshi is now a full local tyrant, the first wealthy businessman in the Ou area, with an annual income of tens of thousands of runs, and 4,000 knots is not sprinkling water?

"Shiro Sakagami, every gold coin must be in accordance with the style and size set by the lord, and no corners must be cut! If there is a half-point difference pool in this batch of gold coins, I will ask you! Yoshino felt a slight pain in his flesh, and then said loudly to Shiro Sakagami.

Shiro Sakagami hurriedly replied with sincere fear: "Master, don't worry, if there is the slightest mistake, I will kill Shiro Sakagami!" ”

"Hmm!" Yoshino nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "If the lord is satisfied, I will have a great reward." I'll leave it to you here, and I'm going to Minato City to transport another batch of Jin Xiaoju! ”

"Haha!"

..........

Mt. Ueno, near Ueno Castle, was partially opened up as the Honmaru Na Castle Tower of the Tsugawa family, and the rest was used to build an unusually large temple. The temple was named the temple by Tsugawa Soji, and the tomb of the previous heads of the Senkit Tsugawa family has been moved here, and the temple is also used as the new Bodhi Temple of the Senkit Tsugawa family.

The head of Saionji Temple was placed here by Tsugawa Soji.

At this time, the head of Xiyuan Temple turned a deaf ear to the hustle and bustle outside, and was completely attracted by a painting in front of him.

"Is this really me?" The chief of Saionji Temple looked at the picture scroll in front of him, which Tsugawa Soji called a "sketch", with a look of disbelief, and then looked back at his blurred face from the bronze mirror from time to time, with a confused expression.

Soji Tsugawa held back a smile, and then replied, "Don't hide it from the Xiyuan Temple, this painting method is obtained by the family by accident in a dream, and it is not until today that it is the first time to show people, and please evaluate the Xiyuan Temple!" ”

"This painting is truly amazing!" The head of Xiyuan Temple picked up this sketch of himself as if he had obtained a treasure, and said with admiration, "It is worthy of Lord Tsukawa, there is such an adventure!" I wonder if you can talk to me? ”

"This...."Tsugawa Soji first looked like he wanted to say something, and after seeing that the prince of Saionji Temple was completely whetted by himself, he continued, "I vaguely remember that it was a night a few years ago, and the family fell asleep unconsciously. In my sleep, an immortal stroked the top of my head, and the sound of thunder then sounded: This method is given to people who are destined, my name is "River Crab God", Rudang..."

"That's amazing!" The head of Xiyuan Temple was stunned by Tsugawa Soji's words, if it weren't for the quality of being a minister and caring about his identity, the head of Xiyuan Temple couldn't help but bow his head.
