(PS: The fever has gone away a lot, but I'm still dizzy, my throat is not good, and there are still a few days of drips to fight, o()o alas)

After Masuda Nagamori and Nishikawa Nishiemon left, Yoshikoto picked up a map, a map of the mountains and rivers of the major cities in Omi Province, and after looking at it for a long time, Yoshiqin stared at the location of Sawa Yamashiro with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Inform Shinkuro, just say that I have arrived, and let him find a time to meet me!" ”

"Yes!"

Inutaro answered and left, while Yoshiqin Ren was still looking at the map, writing and drawing with a pen from time to time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Before dawn the next day, Inutaro led Shinkuro Asai to the door of Yoshiko, "My lord, His Royal Highness Shinkuro has arrived." ”

Ji Qin, who had been studying the map all night, didn't raise his head and said, "Come in!" ”

"Huh!"

As soon as Shinkuro entered the room, he knelt down in front of Ji Qin and saluted and shouted, "Teacher! ”

Ji Qin sat up straight, nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to come so early, how are the preparations for the Yuan Costume Ceremony?" ”

"Teacher, I'm all ready!"

At this moment, Ji Qin was interested, dropped the brush in his hand, looked at Xin Jiulang's eyes and said: "Tell me what you have prepared, just the letter really can't feel your changes over the years!" ”

Shinkuro glanced at the map that had been drawn by Ji Qin and could only be vaguely recognized, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but his tone was still very sincere and replied: "In the past few years, according to the guidance of my teacher, I have been actively in contact with the important ministers of my family, and my father seems to know, but he has not hindered me. ”

"Today, there are a total of eighteen important ministers in the family, thirteen of whom have clearly expressed their willingness to support Wu Yuanfu and then sit on the position of head of the family, although the remaining five have not made a clear statement, but they have not objected, which can be regarded as acquiescence."

Ji Qin nodded noncommittally, his eyes looked at the map, "In this way, you have become the head of the family, and your father may have seen through this, so it didn't hinder you, but..."

Ji Qin paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "What should you do after you succeed as the family governor, have you thought about it?" ”

Xin Jiulang was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly drunk by Ji Qin, he suddenly remembered that he had been immersed in the joy of succeeding the governor recently, to be honest, what to do after becoming the governor, Xin Jiulang really didn't think about it, but now he was asked by Ji Qin, but he was stunned on the spot.

Inutaro on the side coughed, to be honest, Inutaro was still more satisfied with Shinkuro, a young man about the same age as himself, and saw that Shinkuro was actually in a daze, so he coughed a few times as a reminder.

Shinkuro woke up suddenly, bowed to the end, touched the ground with his hand, pressed his forehead to his hand, and pleaded, "Please teach me!" ”

Ji Qin glanced at Inutaro on the side, this kid looked at the roof, Ji Qin turned to look at Shinkuro and said: "The strength of the Asai family is very different from the Rokkaku family, but with the general's containment, even if the Asai family is independent, Rokkaku Yoshiken does not have much strength to conquer you, and the period when the general's family and the Rokkaku family contain each other is the best time for the Asai family to develop and grow." ”

Shinkuro sat up, moved in front of Ji Qin, and listened carefully, while Ji Qin continued: "When it comes to how to strengthen itself, I think that the Qianjia is located in the Northern Omi Province, and there are many business travelers, so it is better to encourage business development in order to increase the tax of the Asai family, and with money, it is natural to recruit enough standing ashigaru, so that after the military strength is improved, the Rokkaku family will not have to worry." ”

Shinkuro frowned and asked suspiciously, "Master, how to encourage business development, and what is standing ashigaru?" ”

Ji Qin's mind was a little sweaty, and he said embarrassedly: "How to encourage business, after you become the governor, ask your retainers who are good at handling government affairs." As for standing ashigaru, he means professional ashigaru, not responsible for farming, but responsible for ashigaru, so he doesn't need to be temporarily called up in wartime, once he encounters a war, he can immediately go to war, combat effectiveness and convenience are several times that of peasants, of course, the consumption of materials is also several times that of peasants. ”

"Separation of soldiers and peasants?!"

"Well, so to speak."

Ji Qin nodded, secretly plucked up in his heart, and said in his heart: "Your teacher, I am also a half-ass, how do I know why I ask so much, it seems that I have to recruit one more capable retainer in the future, otherwise even if I understand which policies are good, I won't be able to implement them!" ”

Seeing that Shinkuro seemed to be in deep thought, Ji Qin coughed a few times, interrupted Shinkuro's contemplation, pointed to the location of the original Sawa mountain castle on the map, and said to Shinkuro: "Shinkuro, where is the place I am referring to?" ”

Shinkuro was not dissatisfied after Ji Qin interrupted his thoughts, but came up very curiously, looked at the position that Ji Qin pointed to, and looked around for a long time, before he said uncertainly: "Zuohe Mountain City?" ”

Ji Qin nodded and continued to ask, "Do you know why I asked you to show this map?" ”

Shinkuro shook his head, and when he saw that Ji Qin didn't answer, he continued to look at the map, thinking about it while looking at it, for a long time, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Mo Fei! ”

Ji Qin glanced at Shinkuro and affirmed: "Yes, I plan to use Sawa Yamashiro to celebrate your Yuanfu, and besides, this is a great credit, and it can also improve your prestige in the Asai family, so that you can lead the Asai family in the future." ”

"Thank you, teacher! Shinkuro is willing to go with his teacher and recapture Sawa Yamashiro. ”

Seeing that Shin Jiulang's excited voice had changed a little, Ji Qin smiled slightly and continued: "My original intention was for you to go with me, but I still need some preparation before leaving. ”

"Please ask the teacher."

"The matter of seizing the city is very important, although the ninjas of my Qimu family are different from the ninjas of any other school, they can only be used as the people who assassinate the city and the city opening, not the people who attack the city, I think you should understand."

"Yes, the characteristics of ninjas, Shinkuro is fully aware."

"Well, after you go back, choose your henchmen and generals, lead a thousand ashigaru, and follow us to act, as for the reason for this thousand ashigaru, you can't stay with the daughter of Hirai Dingwu, just let this thousand ashigaru escort her back to the Rokkaku family."

"Yes, I also had the idea of sending it back, but now I can use it."

"There is still half a month before the day of your Yuanfu, we will leave in two days, you can go back and prepare now!"

"Yes, Shinkuro is retiring, take care, teacher!"

After Shinkuro left, the sky also brightened, Ji Qin glanced at Inutaro who was still standing on the side, and went straight to lie down with his clothes: "Inutaro, you also go down and prepare those tools that need to be used!" ”

"Yes, Inutaro retires!"

Two days later, Kotani Castle, a carriage carrying a girl, slowly drove out of Kotani Castle, Shinkuro rode a war horse, silently escorted in front, and soon, a young general in his twenties with five hundred ashigaru followed Shinkuro's side.
