Gifu Castle is still under construction, but the rest of the castle is still being repaired. After all, when Inabayama Castle was breached, only the area around the castle gate was seriously damaged, and the castle tower was directly burned down.

In Oda Nobunaga's mansion, Oda Nobunaga and Oda Yoshinobu were chatting with each other.

"Brother, I said that you suddenly recruited me, you shouldn't just want to have a relationship with me, right?" Yoshinobu Oda put down his glass, looked at Oda Nobunaga and smiled.

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga smiled, "That's right, now I just won Mino, and it's time to be busy." If there's nothing to do, I don't have the time to talk to you. ”

"Hey, I look like I'm idle, huh? Don't you know how busy I am right now? Oda Yoshinobu glared at Oda Nobunaga dissatisfiedly and retorted.

"Cut, aren't you going to hand it over to your retainers?" Oda Nobunaga pursed his lips disdainfully, and then did not give Oda Yoshinobu a chance to refute, and said directly.

"I'm going to reform my family, and it's a big reform!" Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga strangely, and he suddenly found that Oda Nobunaga's expression was not ordinary dignified at this time. "Do you want to separate the peasants and soldiers?" Oda Yoshinobu then asked.

"Do you think it's possible?" When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he said angrily.

"Impossible." Yoshinobu Oda shook his head.

He had discussed this decree with Oda Nobunaga before, but unfortunately it was shelved for various reasons. It's just that now that the Oda family has taken Mino, Oda Yoshinobu doesn't think it's a good time to separate the peasants and soldiers. Over time, Oda Yoshinobu is now a qualified lord, and many issues are no longer based on impulse as before.

"The decree I am going to implement is not only the supply of soldiers, but also many policies such as taxation and so on." Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice.

"That's right...... That's a bit of a hassle. Oda Yoshinobu muttered with a frown when he heard this. Although he didn't know what Oda Nobunaga wanted to reform, it was clear that as long as it was about taxation, it was definitely not a trivial matter.

The Oda family, like most of today's daimyos, was an ancient system of lordship estates. It is difficult to say exactly what started with this system, and there are still many daimyo who continue to rule this way.

Well, to put it bluntly, the retainers have overall control over the economy, military advisors, and politics of their own territories, and the daimyo can't interfere with the rule of these lords in their territories. And the lord, only when the daimyo needs it, it would be good to send troops to assist in the battle.

This loose system was actually quite unfavorable to the rule of the daimyo, so it fell behind next to the shogun's power, and a large number of guardian daimyo were seized by their retainers. Because compared to those retainers, the guardian daimyo is just a big lord with a larger territory, more troops, and is supported by many lords.

Is this system good? Not good! Obviously, this system gave the daimyo little control over the territory, and all rule was based on the submission of his retainers. It's like the Oda family, if Oda Nobuyuki wants to rebel, as long as he gets the support of his retainers, whether other retainers send troops or not, it depends on whether they are willing to support Oda Nobunaga. For example, Maeda Toshimasa, who did not send troops to participate in either side.

Of course, Maeda Toshimasa also offended Oda Nobunaga because of this, but his skills in making up for the loss of sheep are quite good, marrying his adopted daughter Amatsu to Oda Yoshinobu, and giving up the position of family governor to the Maeda Toshiya, so that even if Oda Nobunaga wants to find an excuse to deal with the Maeda family, there is no way.

Another example is the Saito family, after Nagai Michitoshi gained power, he has been trying to put the entire Higashimino under his rule, and for the wealthy family that does not obey him, he directly waved his troops to fight it, you must know that the other party is also a retainer of the Saito family.

Therefore, if this system is peaceful in the world and power is concentrated in the hands of the shogunate or the imperial court, there is not much of a problem, but for the Warring States daimyo who want to emerge in this troubled era, this system is full of harm.

So, didn't the daimyo reform the system? Of course. For example, the most famous is the Imagawa Kana Directory of the Imagawa family, which was founded by the Imagawa clan and supplemented by Imagawa Yoshimoto, and now the Imagawa clan continues to improve, and the Imagawa Kana directory and additions have become the new policy of the Imagawa family's ruling territory.

Another example is the Ouchi family wall book of the Ouchi family, the seventeen articles of the Asakura family of Asakura Kokei, and the Takeda family's Shingen family law, all of which were reformed to varying degrees in response to the shortcomings of the original system.

And all of these daimyo have one thing in common, that is, the daimyo of reform has no second prestige in the family, and his dominance over the family has almost reached its peak. Because only in this way would they not be rebelled against by a large number of retainers at the beginning of the reform.

Now, the Oda family has clearly entered this phase as well. Oda Nobunaga captured Mino, realizing a dream that Oda Nobuhide could not realize back then, and at the same time subdued the Matsudaira family, expanding his territory to the territory of nearly one million stone in the Mino, Owari, and Mikawa Mikawa triamounts. In Oda Nobunaga's view, it was time for a change.

Of course, even so, there will definitely be opposition, so Oda Nobunaga brought Oda Yoshinobu over to hear what he meant. After all, in the Oda family, Oda Yoshinobu is the highest in terms of prestige and achievements, and now his fiefdom is also the largest. Hawkers, although it's because of a gambling contract.

"I definitely support it unconditionally, and I have always felt that this system must be changed, otherwise it is impossible for my family to dominate the world." Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga and said softly.

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he was very confident in Oda Yoshinobu, but I have to say that there has never been a shortage of stories in history that can share hardships and hardships, and cannot share wealth and prosperity. It's also funny to say, it's okay to endure hardships together, but it's not okay to enjoy happiness together......

"However, I am definitely not able to do it alone, and I must win over some important ministers, so that when the policy is implemented, there will be no resistance." Oda Yoshinobu groaned.

"That's right, Anon said the same thing, that's why I came to you......" Oda Nobunaga smiled at Oda Yoshinobu, just this smile, how did it make Oda Yoshinobu feel itchy?

I said...... You husband and wife are not going to let me talk to those important ministers, are you? Yoshinobu Oda asked through gritted teeth.

"Hehe, I've worked with Anon, if this matter is raised by me, then there must be a lot of questions, but if it is raised by the retainers......" Oda Nobunaga said generally, Oda Nobunaga saw that Oda Yoshinobu's face had darkened, and quickly changed his words and said, "But everything that is more important, such as taxes and other issues, will still be raised by me." ”

After saying that, Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu and smiled, "Hehe, do you think that your kid can occupy the four counties of Owari with the reason of an Ise country?" How can there be such a good thing! ”

"Bastard!" Oda Yoshinobu scolded unhappily, but unfortunately, the work that should be done still has to be done.

Leaving Gifu City, Oda Yoshinobu looked at the clear sky helplessly, but his mood was quite depressed, no way, this thing is a work that really offends people, but obviously, he has to do it if he doesn't do it. After all, the policy reform of the Oda family has reached the point where it must be carried out. Because if you don't reform at this time, then if you want to reform next time, I'm afraid you will have to wait until after Shangluo.

But Oda Yoshinobu knows very well that the Oda family after Shangluo is enemies on all sides. Casual reform, but it is easy to collapse. Now, it's a great opportunity. The surrounding enemies have all been destroyed, and none of the Rokkaku of Omi, the many forces of Ise, and the Imagawa family of Tokaido have the ability to attack the Oda family.

After standing at the gate and thinking for a long time, Oda Yoshinobu walked towards the castle town. Well, thanks to Oda Nobunaga's order, all the important ministers lived in the castle town of Gifu Castle, so that at least, Oda Yoshinobu was saved from running around.

"Oda Dai......" Niwa Nagahide opened the door and saw that it was Oda Yoshinobu, and was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by Oda Yoshinobu angrily.

"Changxiu, you kid has been mixed up for so many years, can't you learn from the Li family?" Oda Yoshinobu said angrily.

"Haha~ Okay, Yoshinobu, why do you have time to come to me?" Niwa Nagahide laughed when he heard this.

"Ahem, didn't you just pass by~" Oda Yoshinobu replied with some embarrassment. Well, in recent years, as everyone's status has improved, there has been less movement between each other. Of course, there are also reasons why you don't want others to think it's a gang.

"Haha~" Niwa Nagahide heard this, and he didn't say anything, and directly led Oda Yoshinobu into the room, and by the way, asked his wife Tomoka to prepare wine and food.

The two drank and ate, constantly reminiscing about the past years, talking and laughing, and suddenly, Oda Yoshinobu bowed his head and sighed.

"Huh? Yixin, what's wrong with you? Niwa Nagahide asked curiously.

"Alas, what's the matter, I'm worried about the future of my family!" Oda Yoshinobu said with a lamented face.

Just hearing this, Niwa Nagahide suddenly laughed, "Haha~ I thought Yoshinobu you were really passing by to eat, but it turned out that you were here to help the lord make a temptation." ”

"Your sister!" Oda Yoshinobu was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, he couldn't have imagined that this was the first sentence, and he was recognized by Niwa Nagahide. (To be continued.) )
