When the clan and Maeda Toshiya arrived at the samurai mansion in Shimosha Castle, it was already late at night, and the clan did not alarm the ministers in the family, and the time tonight belonged to him and Sakura. All business will be handled after dawn tomorrow.

After a series of battles with Sakura, the two hugged each other weakly, Sakura's cheeks buried deep in the clan's chest, and asked softly, "My lord, have you ever slept?" ”

Clan Zong replied lightly: "I haven't slept yet." ”

Sakura moved her body, pulled the quilt with both hands, and after lying down beside the clan, she said cautiously, "My lord, Sakura has heard about Hatsune's sister from the retainers. Don't be too sad, adults. ”

The clan didn't intend to hide it from her, but as soon as the two met just now, they began a series of battles, and they didn't have time to mention it, and now that Sakura asked here, the clan told her the ins and outs of the whole thing, but he kept the matter of Hatsune being a ninja directly under Oda Nobunaga. He wasn't afraid that Sakura would talk nonsense, it was entirely because he didn't want Sakura to be scared for him.

Sakura has been thinking very clearly since she married the Takayama clan, how can such an excellent man let herself be alone, and even if her husband is willing, she herself will definitely not agree, after all, she still has to think about the future of the Takayama family, and now the adults have been fighting outside for many years, and the time at home can be counted, so how can I leave more heirs for the adults?

Now there is only one way to let the adults marry more side rooms to make up for the lack of time with the quantity. Sakura made this decision because she knew that if the Takayama family was to prosper forever, it would have to have a large number of offspring to support it. Moreover, Takayama-sama didn't even have any relatives before he came to Owari, let alone a family, and if the heirs were so rare, it would be laughed at by other samurai.

After a while, I only heard Sakura say: "My lord, now that your identity has been promoted to a general, Zhixing will soon have as many as 8,000 stones, with your current status, if there is only Sakura and one wife, it will be laughed at by the world, so Sakura thinks, it's time for adults to marry a few more side rooms." ”

Seeing Sakura so knowledgeable, the clan was a little embarrassed, if she didn't say it, when she found time, she would definitely marry a few more people, but now that she took the initiative to speak, how could she make her sad. The clan couldn't help but think that since he married her, he had very little time together, which was already indebted to her, and if he married some side rooms again, it would inevitably hurt her heart.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan said, "Sakura-chan, I already owe you something......

Before the clan finished speaking, Sakura stretched out her jade hand to block his mouth, and said: "As long as the adults have Sakura in their hearts, this is enough, and even if the adults don't want to, but you should also think about the Takayama family, now there is only one son of Matsurumuru under the knees of the adults, how can the family be prosperous if the heirs are not prosperous, Sakura will never hinder the development of the Takayama family because of her own selfishness, my lord, Sakura's mind has been decided, you don't shirk it anymore." It was all Sakura's voluntariness. ”

"Okay, since you have no opinion, then I won't say more, but there is no suitable candidate now, so let's talk about it slowly in the future." After the clan finished speaking, he secretly scolded himself in his heart, but he didn't expect that Lao Tzu also did the matter of being the * son and setting up the archway.

Seeing that her husband agreed, Sakura sat up happily instead of feeling sad, and said excitedly: "My lord, Sakura thinks that the younger sister of the Maeda Toshiya and the cousin of the Nakamura Kazushi are good candidates, oh yes, and the cousin of the Nakamura Kazuji is also very good......"...,

When it comes to gossip, Sakura is no different from other **, and she began to talk endlessly, looking at her expression without pretentiousness, she is obviously really choosing a side room for herself, however, none of these people in Sakura's mouth can interest the clan, and Lao Tzu is not a species. Horses, even if there are many people, what is the use of none of them.

Sakura said seven or eight names in a row, but seeing that her husband was not allowed, she remembered to ask the clan about her intentions, and only heard her ask: "I don't know what kind of side room the adult wants to marry, Sakura can look for it according to this." ”

"It's good to be like you." After the clan finished speaking, he took Sakura in his arms.

Sakura didn't break free, but took advantage of the situation to lean on the shoulder of the clan and said in a coquettish voice, "My lord... Seriously, Sakura-chan can't joke with Sakura either. ”

"Let's talk about this later, how can such a thing come in a hurry." Clan Zong said thoughtfully.

Sakura turned over, held her cheeks, looked at the clan and asked curiously, "I wonder when the adults will wait?" ”

Clan Zong Youyou opened his mouth and said, "Wait until there is a suitable candidate." ”

A few months after the end of the night war, Sakura lived up to expectations and conceived a child for the clan, because of this, the matter about the side room was gradually forgotten, and the clan did not deliberately look for it, but if he met the right person, he would never let it go.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the clan was awakened by the noise of the retainers outside, and he really couldn't understand how the energy of the retainers under his command could be so vigorous. The clan had no choice but to get dressed and walk out of the inner room.

As soon as he appeared in the hall of the samurai's mansion, he listened to the retainers discussing something at the moment. But when they saw the Lord appear, everyone immediately shut their mouths and waited for the Lord to speak.

After the clan came to the main seat and sat down, after seeing that the retainers were all looking at him excitedly, he already knew what they were thinking now, and only heard the clan say lightly: "I have now been promoted to a subordinate general by the lord, and I have obtained 8,000 stone Zhixing from Hachiman Castle in the county, I must have heard about this matter, right?" ”

"Back to the lord, my subordinates have already learned about this from Maeda's mouth." The retainers said in unison.

The clan nodded, since the retainers already know, so the clan no longer talks nonsense on this topic, now that he has been promoted, it is time to promote the retainers, after all, this time to aid Mikawa, the credit obtained by the accompanying retainers has not been fulfilled, and Kagawa Tadaji, Nakamura Ichishi and others, who have been acting as property servants, have also been diligent and conscientious in the past few years, and now it is time to reward them.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say: "Maeda Toshiya, Wasuka Masakatsu"

"Subordinates are here," the two of them couldn't help but reply excitedly when they saw that the lord was the first to call his name.

"Okay, you two have made outstanding achievements in this battle to aid Mikawa, and now I have promoted you two to generals, Maeda Toshike has an annual salary of 500 yuan, and Wasuka Masakatsu has a annual salary of 520 yuan." The clan has not forgotten what he said when he was in Nishio Castle, as long as Wasuga Masakatsu has not yet learned to act, then there will be 20 more Yulu every year.

"Thank you, your subordinates will swear allegiance to your lord." It's different from before, these words are from their hearts, Wasuka Masakatsu was just a thief before, but it's only been a few years, and he has already stepped into the ranks of high-level samurai, if he changes to another lord, his promotion path will definitely not be so smooth, even if he is strong, it is absolutely impossible.

And the Maeda Toshi family is also overjoyed now, he failed to inherit the unhappiness of the Maeda family's family business, he has long been left behind, the Maeda family governor is just the identity of the general, and he has obtained this identity even under the command of the lord, this is his own spelling, even if he can't inherit the family business, it's not a big deal, and he thought that he was the exile of the Oda family, if there is no lord, there will be no such achievement now, it seems that in the future, as long as he can keep up with the pace of the lord, become a general, The days of old family will not be too far away. …,

And he also thought that after he became a general, it would only be good for the Maeda family, and there would be no harm, if someone wanted to fight the Maeda family again, then he would have to weigh himself and couldn't help but be able to resist the revenge of the two generals.

After the two of them thanked him, the clan said, "Yamauchi Kazutoyo, Honda Masanobu"

"Subordinates are here" I heard the two of them quickly reply, Honda Masanobu's face did not change much, but Yamauchi Kazutoyo was already flushed at the moment.

"Now you two are promoted to ashigaru generals, with an annual salary of one hundred and eighty yuan."

"Thank you, your subordinates will swear allegiance to your lord." Yamauchi Kazutoyo heard that the lord had really promoted his identity, and he was so excited at the moment that he couldn't describe his current mood in words.

Among the family, he was one of the first three retainers to follow the lord, and unlike the Nakamura Ichishi who was in charge of internal affairs and Kagawa Tadaji, who was in charge of finance, he was the commander of the ashigaru, and he was a little proud at the beginning, after all, he followed the lord to fight outside, and the promotion was much faster, but it didn't take long for the Maeda Toshiya family, Wasuka Masakatsu and others to join, he really realized that the martial arts he had always been proud of were really not worth mentioning in front of them, so although he followed the lord for more than three years, But the credit for the decency is not a single thing.

However, even if he has not made great contributions, he is the most diligent of the leading retainers, and now he has been promoted, which shows that his previous efforts have not been in vain, and the lord still sees his obscure dedication.

And Honda Masanobu, after listening to the lord's reward for himself, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that he didn't see the wrong person, the lord is indeed a man who will reuse resourcefulness, it's only been a few months, and he only came up with a few strategies, and he got promoted, which suddenly made his heart that still wants to continue to observe, settle down.

Honda Masanobu thought again that since the lord treats his retainers equally, then he must also work hard, only in this way can he obtain a higher status, and he must not be like when he was in the Matsudaira family.

The retainers who accompanied him had finished their rewards, and the clan focused on the samurai who was guarding his home, only to hear him shout, "Kagawa Tadaji"

"The subordinates are here," Tadaji Kagawa replied quickly. He really didn't expect that this time the reward would have his own business, he didn't know the way, as a practitioner, it was very difficult to get promoted, even the usual rewards were very few, after all, in this troubled world, most people only pay attention to military exploits.

"You are the retainer who has followed me for the longest time, in all these years, you have been in charge of the family's property, you have never made a mistake, and you dare to speak out and advise, and your spirit is commendable, and now I have promoted you to the rank of general of the ashigaru, and you will continue to manage the family's property at the age of one hundred and eighty."

"The subordinates thank the lord for the generous reward, and the subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." ……，
