Azuchi Castle Assessment Room.

Hundreds of people sat quietly, staring at Oda Nobunaga in amazement, although they had made all kinds of speculations about the reform, but when they really heard the details, they were still at a loss.

Well, Oda Yoshinobu was appointed deputy governor, and with all kinds of honors and rights, everyone didn't care much about this kind of appointment. After all, even if he doesn't have this name, Oda Yoshinobu has always been the existence above ten thousand people under one person. Now this deputy governor has just given Oda Yoshinobu a real name.

And many people have also seen it, deputy governor? Isn't it the deputy general! A code name before Oda Nobunaga's official opening. After all, with Oda Yoshinobu's merits and talents, if he only manages one side, it is obvious that he cannot match it.

The problem lies in the system of acting officials, it can be said that this system directly cuts off all the possibilities of all forces in the future, although it cannot be said that there is no chance at all, but obviously, if you want to rise under this system, the previous methods will never work.

And most importantly, it took generations of hard work for each family to get to where it is today. Now Oda Nobunaga's words are going to make many families' years of hard work directly come to naught? After all, even if he is still acting now, but what about in the future?

Everyone can see that this is simply a blatant weakening of the strength of many forces. However, in this regard, Maori Teruyuan and others remained silent, not because they were willing to be weakened, but because they were considering the pros and cons of this matter.

In fact, before they came, the policy of acting officials had been studied by them for a long, long time, after all, there is an example of Oda Yoshinobu there, no matter how much it changes, it can still be transformed into flowers? And now Oda Nobunaga's reforms, although they are still shocked, many important things do not exceed their guesses.

There is no doubt that these 14 positions will be the most powerful positions in the future Oda regime. Although it sounds like they are just helping Oda Nobunaga with government affairs, it is clear to Mori Terumoto and others that in times of peace, many things must have been handled directly by these fourteen people. After all, if Oda Nobunaga was to handle everything, wouldn't he be busy to death?

After the establishment of the shogunate, it is likely that these fourteen positions will be similar to the positions of the governor, which is obviously a very large power. Moreover, if you take a closer look at the candidates for these fourteen people today, in addition to the retainers of the Oda family, Mori Terumoto, Uesugi Keikatsu, Takeda Katsuyori, Hojo Clan, Satake Yoshishige, Date Terumune, it can be said that the family governors of the most powerful forces in the world are all here.

Staying in Azuchi to assist Oda Nobunaga? It's nothing more than a hostage, and it's almost not explicitly stated. It's just that Maori Terumoto and others can refuse? Although this policy has indeed done them a great harm, they have also been given the opportunity to go further in the new era. After all, no matter what, if they are honest and effective, is it true that Oda Nobunaga can't tolerate them? Apparently impossible.

Mori Terumoto and the others were silent, and Ryuzoji Takanobu and the others were equally silent. They did not receive positions in the central part of the Oda regime like Mori Terumoto and others, but they still served as acting officials in their respective domains. In this way, as long as Oda Nobunaga wants to attack them, then Ryuzoji Takanobu and the others can be said to have no chance to resist at all.

But compared to these people, those little tycoons are the most unlucky. Originally, although the power was not strong, it was still a wealthy family. And now, Oda Nobunaga's reform directly made them become Oda Nobunaga's direct retainers, and the territory or something is directly gone. Although the stone height that can be converted into a territory is converted into a fortune, for these small wealthy families, the territory is the most important thing.

"Okay, that's all for the family's reform policy, so now, who is in favor of it? Who is against? Oda Nobunaga waited for Lin Xiuzhen to finish reading, clapped his hands and looked around at everyone and asked.

It's only half a ring, but all I get is everyone's silence. No matter how you look at it, this kind of reform is to the detriment of everyone's interests, how can they approve of it? Even people like Mori Terumoto, who seem to have gained real power from the central government, will have a hard time accepting this kind of reform.

It's just that the question is, who would dare to oppose it? All of them are not stupid, they dare not be big names or small tycoons, they are all people who have struggled to survive in this troubled world for more than ten years or even decades. How can you not see what is happening at hand?

Even Uesugi Keikatsu, a young family governor, had received various advice and threats from his reclusive father before he came, even if he was young and vigorous, how could he dare to be the leader?

Glancing around at everyone again, Oda Nobunaga sneered, "Since no one is against ......"

"Wait a minute!" A voice sounded in the midst of everyone, and everyone turned their heads to look, but it was Utsunomiya Hirotsuna.

I saw him stand up, looked at Oda Nobunaga with some fear, and said in a cringed tone, "Your Highness Oda, I think that the division of the acting officials is a little unfair......" After speaking, he looked at Oda Nobunaga cautiously, as if he was afraid that he would be angry.

"Oh? What's the injustice? Oda Nobunaga asked with a chuckle when he heard this, and he didn't seem to be angry because of this.

Hearing this, Utsunomiya Hirotsuna hurriedly said, "Your Highness Oda, everyone knows that Shimono has been the fief of the Utsunomiya clan since ancient times, and although it was occupied by the Satake family because of the troubled times, I think that since the world is peaceful, Shimono Country should be returned to the Utsunomiya clan, and the Utsunomiya clan will serve as the acting official of Shimono Country." ”

After speaking, Utsunomiya Hirotsuna looked at Oda Nobunaga cautiously, waiting for Oda Nobunaga's answer. Naturally, he would not be unaware that jumping out at this time would likely be punished. But he had no other way, otherwise, once the matter was a foregone conclusion, how would he recapture Shimono from the Satake family?

And how will Oda Nobunaga answer? Everyone's eyes were focused, waiting for Oda Nobunaga's answer. Because this answer will represent Oda Nobunaga's determination for this reform.

Everyone's eyes were seen by Oda Nobunaga, and they suddenly sneered in their hearts, and then turned their heads to look at Oda Yoshinobu on the side and asked, "My deputy governor, what do you think should be done with this matter?" ”

"Your sister! Let Lao Tzu carry the black cauldron?! Oda Yoshinobu was stunned when he heard this, and then scolded unhappily in his heart, he didn't believe that Oda Nobunaga would not know how to deal with it, but now that he said this, what is it that doesn't let him carry this pot? But could he not answer? Naturally not, after all, he had just been appointed as the deputy governor.

"Shimono has been the territory of Utsunomiya for generations? So why not now? Oda Yoshinobu looked at Utsunomiya Hirotsuna with disdain on his face and sneered, "I can't even keep the territory that I have been running for generations, and I still have the face to speak here?" Also, I don't think you're qualified to exist as a samurai anymore......"
