Returning to the mansion, Serra's appearance immediately attracted the curiosity of the girls, and there was a burst of chatter around Serra. And Serra just stood there with a blank face, her eyes blank, like a puppet.

Serra's appearance made Ah Shi feel pity suddenly, but he didn't say anything. The reason is very simple, there are not a few female ** subordinates under Oda Yoshinobu, when they attacked Ise Country, those women who became slaves of Oda Yoshinobu because of the destruction of their families, there were not 300 but 200 people.

Which of them is not very pitiful? If Aichi intercedes for them, then what will Oda Yoshinobu think? Today's Aichi is no longer the little girl who only knows how to be coquettish with Oda Yoshinobu before. You must know that there are a lot of women in Oda Yoshinobu, but they have never had any conflicts, and they also respect Aichi very much.

This is not relying on the name of Mrs. Oda Yoshinobu, you must know that the one who used to have such prestige was still the female slave of Oda Yoshinobu.

Yoshinobu Oda gave Serra to Mai and Senju, and put the two in charge of training Serra. After that, he explained to the girls, and rode Kuromaru to Gifu Castle.

"Huh? You're going to Ezo? Oda Nobunaga was lying on Nohime's lap and looked at Oda Yoshinobu strangely and asked.

"Yes, there is news from Ezo that Sapporo Castle has been established and the territory has been initially developed. However, due to the continuous expansion, there were some conflicts with other Ainu. Yoshinobu Oda explained.

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga became even more strange, "Then wouldn't it be better if you just sent a retainer to bring some troops to solve it?" Don't say you don't have a retainer yet! How many have you snatched from me? Oda Nobunaga said to the end, his tone full of resentment. Apparently he was still thinking about Tsuru Chiyo?

Tsk, if he knew that the Hori Hidemasa brothers also had a good talent in civil and military affairs, I don't know if he would be so angry that he couldn't sleep?

"Hehe, the Ainu are naturally a small matter. But I'm going to take this opportunity to get out completely! Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice. Of course, I won't be there for long, but there are some things that have to be arranged. ”

"Hmm...... That's right. That's fine, but don't think about Ezo every day, this is the most important place! Oda Nobunaga nodded, but couldn't help but warn. He was worried that Oda Yoshinobu cared too much about Ezo. Although he had also heard that Ezo seemed to have a large territory, it was an uncivilized area after all.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who can't tell the difference. However, Ezo is indeed a good place, and if it can be developed, it will become at least a territory of 500,000 koku. Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly showed a hesitant expression, as if he had encountered some great difficulty.

"What's wrong again?! I'll start with that! Looking for someone to ask me for, there is absolutely no way! Wrong! You don't have anything! Oda Nobunaga asked vigilantly, every time Oda Yoshinobu showed this expression in front of him, nothing good would happen.

Hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Oda Yoshinobu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and he looked at Oda Nobunaga without tears, "Brother, am I in your heart, am I such a person?" ”

"Hmph, Overlord Maru, do you think Master Kichipo is wrong? I've heard that you bullied my family Yoshi-shi very badly before......" At this time, Nohime snorted coldly, and suddenly choked Oda Yoshinobu silently. He dares to be shameless with anyone, but for Nohime, Oda Yoshinobu has no tricks at all.

Seeing Oda Yoshinobu's aggrieved look, Oda Nobunaga suddenly sneered proudly, "Haha, Yoshinobu, you kid also have today!" Ah Nong, teach this kid Yixin a good lesson, it's too much! ”

Although he hated Oda Nobunaga's villainous appearance, under the obscenity of Nohime, Oda Yoshinobu had no choice but to confess, "A new herd of horses has been found over there in Ezo!" ”

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga and Nohime glanced at each other and immediately showed a smug smile. "What? Overlord Pill, you hesitate not to say, do you want to eat alone? Nohime glared at Oda Yoshinobu with an unkind face, obviously as long as Oda Yoshinobu dared to say a word, she would let Oda Yoshinobu know the fate of eating alone.

"Absolutely not!" Where does Oda Yoshinobu dare to admit it? Although he did hesitate to eat alone just now.

Soon, Oda Yoshinobu was lured by the threat of Nohime, and divided the new herd of horses that he had not yet seen into three parts. Well? How is it three copies? Because Nohime is also going to have one.

After returning to Osaka Castle, Oda Yoshinobu immediately gathered his ministers to discuss going to Ezo.

"This time, in addition to the new herd, I also intend to take this opportunity to continue to expand my territory. So close to the left, you immediately mobilize the troops, 5,000 people! Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. In their opinion, where does a mere Ezo need an army of 5,000 people? It's just that Oda Yoshinobu's order was even more incomprehensible, because not only Shimasaku was named, but also more than a dozen retainers such as Reilu, Ozuru Tsuru, Ii Naotora, Fernand, Hori Hidemasa brothers, and Keer Caizo. Even the ninja, Oda Yoshinobu brought a dozen of them.

"My lord, the vast majority of Ezo areas are wasteland, and even if the family takes these areas, it is impossible for them to become real territories immediately. At that time, the army of 5,000 people, plus the soldiers and civilians of Sapporo, may not be able to support themselves. Li Huamei persuaded.

Naturally, there is no opinion on the development of Ezo, but if Ise needs to contribute money and food, then it must be carefully considered. After all, land reclamation is a long-term plan, and it is impossible to complete it immediately. In this way, God knows how much money, food and manpower will have to be invested.

Although it is not impossible to invest in the current strength of Oda Yoshinobu, it is clear that if these materials and manpower are invested in Ise, they will be more reported and the time will be shorter.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu smiled and said, "I naturally understand this, but in addition to Ezo, I am also ready to take Sado Province!" ”

"Sado Kuni?" Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Keiji Maeda and the others looked puzzled, obviously they were really unfamiliar with the name of this country. Hearing this, Lilu asked excitedly, "Could it be the Sado Country that has mountains of gold and silver?" ”

"Not bad!" Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said.

Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Keiji Maeda and the others said no more. In the area of trade, they are not as good as a Lilu combined, so naturally they will not say much.

"Great! I've long heard that Sado Province is rich in gold and silver, and if I can take it down......" Lilu said as she spoke, her eyes glowing with gold. Maybe at this time, everything in his eyes has turned into gold and silver, right?

It's just that at this moment, Guoxin poured a basin of cold water. "My lord, although it is true that the Sado Province was able to mine gold and silver, it is recorded that the imperial court at that time had already sent people to mine gold and silver since the Heian period was first discovered. But in reality, the production there is not very large. By the Kamakura period, it was only 20,000 taels of silver per year. As for gold, it is even less pitiful. ”

Hearing this, Lilu suddenly smiled and said, "Lord Guoxin, even if it's only 20,000 taels, that's a lot~"

"Yes, and it's impossible for the lords of Sado Province to hand over all the gold and silver they have mined." Yoshinobu Oda echoed the same words. Not much to say, though. Because of the proportion on this exchange, the less people know about it, the better. Moreover, he knew that there was a big mountain of gold in Sado Country!

Japan is rich in gold and silver, so the price of gold and silver in Japan is not too high. For example, Oda Nobunaga issued a decree on the exchange ratio after Kamiraku. To put it simply, one tael of gold can be exchanged for 7.5 taels of silver or 1.5 yuan. Although this ratio is different from that of other countries, it is not too different.

Therefore, although the Maori family has an annual output of one million taels of silver, Iwami Ginzan, they are actually not much rich. Of course, the Maori family has a Mishima naval army, and they can trade with North Korea~ Of course, this is a digression.

Hearing what Lilu and Oda Yoshinobu said, no matter how stupid Guoxin is, he will understand that there must be something wrong with this. However, since Oda Yoshinobu had no intention of saying it, he naturally wouldn't ask.

Everyone went down to prepare, but Lilu stayed, "Lord, according to the information I heard in Korea, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom has already moved his mind to lift the sea ban. ”

"Good!" Yoshinobu Oda nodded. "Speed up the hoarding of gold, and buy silver if you can't buy gold! It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher than those Europa merchants. After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "Send someone else to contact Mori, Takeda, Uesugi, and other daimyo who have gold and silver mountains. Let's see if you can exchange it directly with them! ”

"Don't worry, lord!" Lilu responded excitedly when she heard this. Although it is now possible to earn the exchange difference in North Korea, after all, North Korea also has to earn the difference, and it is not as good as directly exchanging with Mingguo. And when exchanging with North Korea, it should not be too public, so as not to provoke the prying eyes of the local government or the remnants of pirates.

But once the Ming Kingdom lifted the sea ban, then the Oda family could bring a large amount of gold and silver under the banner of tribute. Just a little thought about it, Oda Yoshinobu can smile from ear to ear.
