46, three teenagers

"Meet the Stars!" The two teenagers who were led out from behind by the owner of Sanliemon saluted me together.

"This is my nephew Masuda Nagamori,...... the boss said to me, pointing to a young man with slender eyes, and then pointing to the slightly pale young man next to him, "This is his classmate and friend Nagazuki Masa." They are all descendants of samurai who have just come from my hometown of Omi, and they are eager to revive their family name. They are all very knowledgeable, and I know their parents very well, so I can vouch for them! I'm sorry to beg you, but I beg you to take them in! ”

I actually got two of the Toyotomi Five Commissioners at once, and I don't believe in my luck a little! To be on the safe side, I decided to try again. "You don't seem to be too strong, can you tell me about your strengths and interests?" I asked.

"I have some knowledge of math!" Nagashu replied.

"I ...... I like to do some surveying and analysis, so I know a little bit about land development and construction! Masuda Nagamori blushed a little, perhaps a little embarrassed that he was a samurai but interested in these "things".

"Boss! Thank you so much! I was actually recommended to two such excellent talents! I turned back to the two of them and said, "From this day forward, you will be the retainers of my Stars family!" I hope to be able to draw on your talents, and I will work hard to earn your loyalty and love for me! ”

"The two of us will swear to repay the great kindness of the lord! For the prosperity of the stars for all generations, the body is shattered, and the death will not be resigned! The two of them knelt down together and said excitedly. They don't seem to be able to fully believe that the goal they have been striving for has been achieved so easily.

"I hope you live to work for me!" I made a joke. "O Gao Fu! Do you want to be my retainer? I said to Gao Fu on the side.

"Huh? …… Me? He was taken aback by my sudden question, and he didn't know how to answer it.

"You don't have to rush to reply, you can tell me when you're ready." I comforted him when I saw him at a loss, and continued to say to Masuda Nagamori and Nagashu Masake: "Since you have become my retainers, I will arrange tasks for you!" ”

"Yes! Please command! Their tone was firm.

"I'll give you a letter of introduction...... Oh! There are also travel expenses. Go to Sakai Town and find Tsuda Munene and the boss of Tennojiya! He'll arrange for the two of you to come to his shop and the two of you will be working there for a while! I looked at them when I was done.

"Huh?!" Masuda Nagamori and Nagashu Masake glanced at each other, but did not speak.

"Is there anything you don't understand? It doesn't matter, just ask. "I'm happy with their response.

"My lord! I want to ask...... "It's Nagabune Masaya who speaks." "What is your purpose? If...... Can you tell us, I think we'll get the job done. ”

"You're right!" I nodded appreciatively at him. "But before I explain, I want to ask, did you go anywhere else before you came here? How did they reply to you? Do you mean that your martial arts are not good? ”

They looked at each other again, then nodded at me together.

"I want to say to you, it's not all their fault! After all, we live in a cruel era, weak and cowardly people will be sacrificed, if we want to survive in this era, we can only make ourselves strong as soon as possible! Therefore, in the eyes of those people, martial arts became the key to deciding all issues. "I paused when I said this, and saw Changshu Zhengjia's mouth move, but in the end he didn't say anything." But does great power really come from martial arts alone? I don't think so. No matter how high an individual's martial arts are, can he stop thousands of troops? No matter how clever the strategy is, if there is no corresponding troops, isn't it also a flash in the pan? With the great talent of the Maori Yuan, why has it not completely controlled the western country until today? If it weren't for Koshu Kanayama to support the powerful Akabi Iron Cavalry, what would Takeda Shingen be? It is up to the valiant samurai to fight for the world, but what about managing the territory and governing the world? Take a step back! Samurai and Ashigaru must also be equipped and equipped, right? Therefore, there is not only martial arts in the official career, I myself am a living example! ”

"Lord, we understand! Give us orders! "Masuda Nagamori and Nagashu Masake bowed to me and kowtowed to me.

I picked them up and said to them, "You may work at Tennoji House for three years, maybe five years, or even longer!" During this time, you should learn all kinds of knowledge that you think are useful, and the key is to learn how to make money, manage money, and use money. In the future, what you will grasp will be the source of the power of the Star Family! ”

"Please rest assured! We will live up to our expectations! ”

"Have you decided?" As I asked, everyone's eyes turned to Gao Fu, who was stunned on the side. "Do you want to be a merchant who walks the streets with a backpack and comes here for the rest of your life? I still want to be a person with a famous house number; mastery of mine forests; Acting as an agent for the shogunate to build castles and open canals; What about the wealthy merchants who gave the seal of the imperial seal and even obtained the status of a daimyo? ”

"Please!" Gao Fu grabbed my hand tightly with excitement. "Please take me in anyway!"

"What's wrong with you!" After coming out of the wooden bird house, the siblings Xianzhi and Nanmu have been silent.

Xianzhi didn't answer my question, just stared at me with adoring eyes.

"Your Excellency!" In the end, it was Hayato who opened his mouth. "I feel more and more that if I can always follow you and revive the former majesty of Nanmu Flow, it may not be something that is out of reach!"

"You know, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!" I laughed. "That's right! It's hard for you to secretly protect them to Sakai without letting them know! ”

"Yes! My lord. ”
