In the Oda family, although the factional disputes of the Oda family were not too serious because of Oda Nobunaga's strength and the existence of Oda Yoshinobu, a die-hard loyalist, in other daimyo families, factional disputes were often the beginning of the family's demise.

The most recent example, I'm afraid it's the Mino Saito family, because of the struggle for power between Michitoshi Nagai and Mamoru Ando, so that Mino has not been able to recover, and in the end, in the face of the Oda family who has been recuperating for a long time, the Saito family completely lost the ability to compete with it, and eventually led to the demise of the family.

However, in this regard, Oda Yoshinobu naturally also thought about it, "Brother, in fact, this problem is easy to solve, in terms of martial arts, you can ask Lord Izumi for help, and during this time, I am thinking about another thing, but I don't have a very mature idea for the time being." However, if it can be realized, then the teachers of martial arts will not have to worry about it in the future. As for the cultural aspect, we can ask for the help of the ministers, monks, priests, etc. ”

"That's ......" Oda Nobunaga pondered when he heard this, and after a while, Oda Nobunaga shook his head helplessly, "I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to achieve, and there is naturally no problem on Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's side, but whether it is a minister or a monk, it is impossible to teach so many people." You also know that those ministers are all lords who want to save face, and monks...... It's also very arrogant. "Well, from Oda Nobunaga's words, you can hear that he really doesn't have a good impression of monks and ministers.

Hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Oda Yoshinobu agreed after groaning, "Indeed, although the minister is very poor, I'm afraid he won't do this kind of thing for money, and monks are similar to priests, and it is impossible for them to come specifically to be teachers......" Speaking of this, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly looked at Oda Nobunaga and said, "Why don't you let Amatsu be the teacher first?" ”

"Ason?" Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu suspiciously, and asked with some uncertainty, "That girl from the Maeda family?" ”

"Well, that's her!" Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said, "Although Ah Song is only a woman, she has been practicing martial arts and learning culture all these years, and even if she becomes a samurai, I believe it will be more than enough." ”

"That's right......" Oda Nobunaga didn't doubt Oda Yoshinobu's words when he heard it, but thought about the possibility of this matter. Although Amatsu is a woman, because the women under Oda Yoshinobu are quite good samurai, Oda Nobunaga will not doubt his ability.

Over there, Oda Yoshinobu thought of other aspects because of this question, "We only have basic classes now, which are specially used to select outstanding talents, so Atsu's knowledge and martial arts are also enough." At the same time, she is my concubine, so naturally she will not be biased against anyone. And if some of them try to form a gang, they'll have to think about whether or not my brother and I know ......."

The more Oda Yoshinobu spoke, the more excited he became, and through Amatsu, he seemed to have seen the prototype of the Future Academy. "In addition, the children in the basic class are not very old, so it is obviously better for a woman to take care of them at this time. I think that in the future, we can train more female teachers and let them be responsible for teaching the next generation. ”

"Hmm......" Oda Nobunaga muttered when he heard this, and then asked another question, "Leaving aside the question of the female teacher for the time being, what about the children who have completed the basic class?" Lost to their respective families? ”

"I think I can let the old people of each family who have gone into seclusion come forward to teach them." Oda Yoshinobu thought for a while and said.

"Them?" Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu in surprise, and then came to his senses, "That's right, although they are in seclusion, but they can't continue to be samurai because they are old, if you just teach the children knowledge, I believe there is no problem." ”

"Yes, and I'm sure they won't say no to it. Although they can't form gangs, they teach the next generation of their own family after all, and if they can establish a teacher-student friendship, then their family will obviously get a lot of care in the future. Oda Yoshinobu nodded in agreement.

"And it's a good thing for them." Oda Yoshinobu laughed.

"What's the benefit?" Oda Nobunaga asked curiously.

"That's talent!" Oda Yoshinobu smiled smugly.

"Talent?!" Oda Nobunaga heard Oda Yoshinobu's words and looked at him inexplicably. "Those children are people from various families, even if they are talents, they are ...... with them" Halfway through his words, Oda Nobunaga suddenly seemed to wake up to something, and looked at Oda Yoshinobu in shock and exclaimed, "You plan to let the children of the common people also come to study together?" ”

"Not bad!" Oda Yoshinobu nodded, and said in a serious tone, "Brother, how many samurai are there in my country, how many civilians are there, are those civilians really not suitable to be samurai?" Apparently impossible! The only thing that restricts them is knowledge! ”

Oda Nobunaga did not refute Oda Yoshinobu's words, because this matter has actually continued for many years. The so-called foolish policy, as a result, there are almost no civilians in the territory who can become samurai, at most, it is only because of the martial arts that he has become an ashigaru general. This is already the highest status that can be attained by civilian status.

Belch...... Well, except for the freak Yoshinobu Oda.

Hasn't anyone been aware of this drawback for many years? Apparently impossible. But all rulers and lords are still carrying out this policy in the last days, why? The reason is understandable. After all, is there anything in this world that is easier to rule than stupid civilians? Yes, stupid and ignorant civilians.

It is precisely because of the continuation of this policy that Japan has always been in a rather extreme social stage. Its existence made the society change from the era of imperial power to the era of samurai, and it had nothing to do with the common people. And now when the samurai regime is broken, it still has no impact on the common people.

As long as they eat and drink enough, they will not know who the ruler is. This is very good for rule, but again, when there are samurai or others who are trying to change the era, it is difficult for those in power to gain the support of the common people.

On the other hand, the affairs of belief in gods and Buddhas, because of the ignorance of the common people, are easily accepted and supported by them. So since the Ichizong played the same thing, the daimyo from all walks of life finally saw the drawbacks of the policy of fooling the people. But even so, they still didn't think about changing.

And now, Oda Nobunaga, although he wants to improve the threat of the Ichisuji sect, he also has not thought about changing the policy of foolishness. "Yoshinobu, don't you know what the consequences will be if you do this?" Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a serious face and asked.

"Of course I thought about it, but it's just that the samurai of the family have become a little more......" Oda Yoshinobu said with a chuckle, his expression was very relaxed, "Brother, in fact, you think too much, if you want to study in the academy, those children must become retainers of the family." It is similar in nature to the reserves, except that it is younger. ”

Oda Yoshinobu kept explaining, "If you do this, the civilians will still be those civilians, but the family will have one more source of talent." And if those people really don't have the talent to become a samurai after studying, then they can be made a reserve. ”

"But in this way, there will be more people among the common people who have knowledge. And when they educate their children, they will certainly teach them what they have learned. In the long run, the policy of ignoring the people will no longer exist. Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice.

"Well...... Oda Yoshinobu thought for a moment and nodded in response, "That's true, but isn't that bad?" Oda Yoshinobu asked rhetorically. Although the policy of fooling the people can better rule the people, there is no doubt that the most crucial point of this system is that it sits on those families! Oda Yoshinobu said very bluntly.

"Even if the policy of fooling the people is broken, there will be more talents in the family, and the only ones who will suffer are those who rely on the identity passed down from their ancestors to eat and wait for death. Isn't the Kitada Gufang the best example? Oda Yoshinobu kept saying, "And brother, you should know something about the Ming Kingdom, the commoners there, as long as they have money, can easily read, and their imperial court is constantly selecting talents from all over the country through the entrance examination." ”

"Well......" Oda Nobunaga stopped talking when he heard this, although he could still name many reasons, but those reasons did not need to be said by Oda Yoshinobu, Oda Nobunaga himself was able to find a rebuttal, "Are you worried about something?" ”

Yes, whether the policy of fooling the people is changed or not is only whether the rulers themselves have the confidence that they can still stabilize their rule after the commoners have gained knowledge. And was Oda Nobunaga confident? Of course there is......

After a long silence, Oda Nobunaga spoke, "Good! I promised, you just let it go! I'm responsible for what's going on! Oda Nobunaga said domineeringly. Although this incident may have a great impact, it has to be said that the possible benefits that Oda Yoshinobu said are enough to make Oda Nobunaga forget those consequences.

After all, if this academy can really be built, then the Oda family's talent pool in the future will reach a terrifying level. What is the fight in troubled times? In addition to financial resources and military resources, isn't it talent? (To be continued.) )
