Although it was impossible, when Oda Nobunaga returned to Mino, he ordered people to start repairing the imperial palaces of Mino, Owari, and Mikawa. Of course, the restoration began, but after all, the emperor did not explicitly ask when it would be completed. And this incident was forgotten by Oda Nobunaga in an instant, because what really mattered to him was the implementation of the new policy.

Here, I have to mention the prestige of Oda Nobunaga in the Oda family now, and it is this prestige that allows the new policy to be implemented almost without hindrance. At the same time, Oda Nobunaga appointed Niwa Nagahide to personally preside over the Three Kingdoms Inspection, perhaps because he had already accepted a more harsh new policy, and this time the inspection did not encounter any trouble with attitude. As for those who disobeyed orders, there was not one.

As time passed, the benefits of the New Deal became more and more apparent, most notably the progress of commerce everywhere. With only the transaction tax to pay, countless merchants were attracted to various parts of the country. The increase in merchants has also led to the prosperity of the whole region. This situation made many lords who had previously complained about the New Deal laugh. After all, whether a policy is good or not, in the end, is still the word interest?

On the other hand, Oda Yoshinobu didn't care too much about the new deal, after all, he was the one who unconditionally supported Oda Nobunaga, and he was also the samurai who knew the power of commerce the most.

In that Kono Castle, Oda Yoshinobu sat on the top, swallowing clouds and spitting fog while listening to the reports of the retainers.

"My lord, Master Zhenghui of the Temple of Wishes has hinted that he does not intend to participate in worldly battles." Shigeharu Takenaka said respectfully.

"Well, that's enough." Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said. He didn't plan to ally with the people of the Sect or anything, as long as the other party could show a neutral attitude, it would be enough. Of course, it is impossible for Oda Yoshinobu to believe the words of those fake monks, but since people say so, at least under no special circumstances, it should not pose any threat to Oda Yoshinobu's strategy of Ise.

"My lord, the implementation of the new policy is very smooth, and the collection of weapons in the territory has been completed. The land survey is also going very smoothly and is expected to be completed in two months. Li Huamei said.

"Well, there is no need to rush the matter of land inspection, but you must be very careful and not make any mistakes." Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said.

"Yes!"

"The statistics of the reserve military service have been completed, with a total of 21,643 soldiers, and the first training has been completed, and the situation is good."

"So much?" Oda Yoshinobu asked in disbelief, you must know that when Imagawa Kamiraku, there were only 40,000 people. But this number had already scared most of the Oda family.

Hearing this, Dao Zuo explained in a deep voice, "My lord, in the past, when mobilizing for battle, unless it was a forced mobilization of the whole lord, under normal circumstances, only the number of people who could be mobilized by the lord could bear it. So although there are a lot of statistics, if you really play all of them......"

Although Shimazo didn't finish his words, Oda Yoshinobu also understood what he meant. Indeed, the number of people who can fight and the number of people who are really brought out to fight will certainly not be the same.

After all, the number of people counted seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is impossible for Oda Yoshinobu to make nearly 20,000 sets of equipment here. And even if there is so much equipment, if all of them are pulled out to fight, more than 50 stone of grain will be consumed a day, which is nearly 20,000 stone a year. Who is this kind of exchange, and they can't afford it.

Although Oda Yoshinobu's current territory looks close to 100,000 koku, excluding those handed over, turned into money, and various consumptions, it is already very awesome to be able to exist for 20,000 koku a year. And this is not counting the rewards that people need to give for their meritorious service, if even these are counted...... Well, Oda Yoshinobu's brain is not too sufficient.

"Also, because of the business tax, many young people want to change the reserve service a little, because they want to go to business more than to fight. At the same time, there are many people who are engaged in other things themselves......" Shimasa continued.

"Well, that's okay, I'll discuss it with my brother." Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said. In his opinion, this so-called reserve is not much different from the military training of the whole people. In this case, those who can create greater value naturally do not need to fight.

After Shimazuo retreated, Shiraki Yukihisa came out and reported, "Lord, the expansion of the Death God Cult has been completed, and the current training is in good condition. ”

"Very good, remember to strengthen political education." Oda Yoshinobu commanded.

"Yes!"

"The training of the ninja army has begun, and 34 people have been eliminated, and only 19 people are left, including only 3 girls." Ning Ning said respectfully.

"So much loss?" Oda Yoshinobu muttered speechlessly, his ninjutsu was innate, and naturally he didn't know how hard the training was. However, he still encouraged Ning Ning and asked him to continue to adopt orphans from all over the world.

"The recruitment of mariners has been completed and the training is currently in good condition."

"As for weapons, the merchant who often deals with the Chamber of Commerce has promised to help try it. However, even if it can be obtained, it may not be Europa's latest artillery. In addition, information on Korea, the Ryukyus, and Ezo is being gathered, and once the fleet is formed, trade between the three places will begin. ”

"You can look at this, but the cannon you buy must at least be able to be used on the ship, and it must be more powerful than arrows and baked jade." Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said.

"Yes!"

After Oda Yoshinobu gave some more instructions, the assessment entered the final matter.

"My lord, about Ise, my subordinates have asked the merchants of Tsushima." Li Huamei said in a deep voice.

"Ise can now be basically divided into two parts, the south, the middle and the north, and the five counties of Ichishi, Iitaka, Iino, Taki, and Dokai in the south are led by the Kitada family, which can be traced back to the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, so the rule of the Kitada family is relatively solid. However, there are still powerful wealthy forces such as Aishu, Mise, Tominaga, Bachai, Hase, and Fukuyama. ”

"And the Nagano family occupies two counties of Aki and Anong, one county of Suzuka of the Seki family, and one county of Kobe Kawako." After Li Huamei finished speaking, her expression suddenly became weird, "The form of being Ise is the most complicated, not only Nagashima Ichisaki is here, but also the four counties of North Ise are divided by forty-eight wealthy clans, and they attack each other and ally each other at the same time. In the past, Nagano, Seki, Kobe, and Kitada all tried to get their hands on Kita-Ise, but they were all repelled by the joint efforts of the forty-eight wealthy families......"

"Tut, this is really ......" Oda Yoshinobu heard this, and suddenly didn't know what to say, forty-eight families...... He was speechless just by hearing this amount. However, in the blink of an eye, he felt that such a large number of wealthy families was not a bad thing.

"Since they are attacking each other, then there will definitely be grudges, try to win over some." Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

"This is also the meaning of subordinates, but it still needs the cooperation of Asano-sama's side." Li Huamei said respectfully.

Hawkers, Ning Ning has now become an official retainer of Oda Yoshinobu, so naturally he has to have a surname. So Ning Ning, at the suggestion of Oda Yoshinobu, followed her father to take the surname Asano. Why? Because Oda Yoshinobu is not interested in such a boring clichΓ© as his husband's surname.

Hearing this, Ning Ning immediately stepped out and said, "My lord, Duan Zang has not heard back at the moment, I'm afraid he is still looking for information on the Ise side." ”

"Well, there's no hurry, there's still a lot of time." Yoshinobu Oda said with a chuckle.

Subsequently, Oda Yoshinobu gave some more orders, concluded the assessment, and sent someone to inform Oda Nobunaga about the reserve military service and his thoughts.

Three days later, Oda Nobunaga amended the decree on reserve military service, and on the basis of reserve military service, established a group of people who were not required to participate in reserve military service, and excluded all business people. Although this policy reduced the reserve of Oda Yoshinobu from 21,643 to 14,582 in an instant, it was clearly necessary.

In August, Iimori Castle.

Miyoshi Nagakei was lying on the bed, the overlord who had been in turmoil for more than ten years, and finally under the blows of losing his brother and eldest son one after another, under the gaze of the important minister Matsunaga Hide, and the Miyoshi Nagayoshi, Miyoshi Masaysu, and Iwasari Tomoto, who were known as the Miyoshi Three, he completed the road of life.

It's just that it's obviously a time to grieve, but whether it's the three of Miyoshi or Matsunaga Show, I can't see any sadness.

"Three, now that the lord has died of illness, and his only son, Miyoshi Yoshixing, has also passed away, then it is recommended that the lord's adopted son, Xiong Wang Maru, inherit the position of family governor." Matsunaga said in a deep voice.

In this regard, the three of Miyoshi naturally will not have any objections, after all, only Xiong Wangmaru can inherit the Miyoshi family now, and now he is only 13 years old, and he does not pose any threat to the authority of the three people.

Seeing that the three of them agreed, Matsunaga Xiu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. After Miyoshi Changqing died of illness, the only one in the entire Miyoshi family who could threaten him was the three of them. But fortunately, the trio didn't seem to plan, or at least didn't plan to turn against him immediately.

"So the three, from today on, the Miyoshi family will rely on the four of us to support, I hope we can unite as one and not let the Miyoshi family go into decay from now on. You must know that His Royal Highness the Shogun of Kyoto is always looking forward to this day. Matsunaga said with a chuckle.

"Humph!" Regarding Matsunaga Xiu's words, the three of them just snorted coldly, obviously, their relationship with Matsunaga Xiu is not as harmonious as it seems now. (To be continued.) )
