After a quick ride all the way, Ji Qin and the others finally arrived at Kotani Castle on the evening of the day before the annual assessment meeting, that is, the day before the New Year, met with the crane first, and after settling down with Ah Shi and the others, Ji Qin went to the castle tower alone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Lord!"

followed the little surname into the study, and in the face of Changzheng with a happy face, Ji Qin bowed.

"Teacher, did you break through?"

Looking at Ji Qin, Changzheng always had a feeling of being suppressed, not the coercion of the superiors, but the momentum of the warriors, Changzheng, who was still stuck in the second-rate eighty-nine points of force value, faced Ji Qin, who was already a super-first-class person, didn't feel particularly comfortable, this feeling couldn't be said to be there before, but it was very small, so Changzheng didn't care.

"It's just a fluke."

Ji Qin was very modest, but Changzheng sighed in his heart, he had been negligent in force all these years, resulting in what could have broken through to the first-class realm, but now he lost such an opportunity, and he could only blame himself for being too slack at the beginning.

Then the two had an affectionate conversation, Ji Qin waited until the bright moon was high, and then returned home, but when he returned home, he saw that He and Ah Shi were sitting upright on each side, with a vacant seat in the middle, chatting without a word. When the two girls saw Ji Qin coming back, they were all happy, and they were about to get up to welcome Ji Qin home, but after glancing at each other, they both looked straight and sat up straight.

Seeing that no one greeted him because of each other's reasons, Ji Qin was not annoyed, and slowly sat between the two, stretched out his hands and hugged the two women, and the two women also snuggled on Ji Qin's shoulders.

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Qin stepped on the white snow and walked slowly towards the assessment room of the castle tower, naturally meeting many old acquaintances along the way, but most of them seemed to be a little ashamed to see Ji Qin's meaning, and after saying hello to Ji Qin, they either slowed down their pace and left, or left quickly, only Gamo Dingxiu and Isono Yuanchang and others were with Ji Qin.

After entering the assessment room, everyone found their own positions, and the people who were nearby continued to talk, while Yoshiqin kept talking with Isono Yuanchang and Endo Naokei. It's more actually Isono Yuanchang asking Yoshiqin, after all, he was sealed to Shiga County, which borders Yamashiro Province, and it was okay before Haibei Tsunako didn't live in seclusion, but later after Haibei Tsunako lived in seclusion, the burden of befriending the shogunate and coordinating the relationship between the shogunate and the Miyoshi family fell on his shoulders, and this fierce general has been tired half to death in the past few months.

Ji Qin shook his head and said, "For these questions, you should go to Haibei." After speaking, he also pointed to the Haibei Gang who was sitting in the first place, this time Changzheng invited him over. Isono frowned, as if remembering the gap between the two.

"For the great cause of the lord, a little thing is not enough to worry about." Endo Naokei on the side said in a quiet voice, but it shocked Isono Yuanchang, and then nodded, but seeing that he didn't move, he should have planned to go to Haibei Tsunako in private. Then Ji Qin and the three of them talked about commanding the army, but most of them were Ji Qin, and the two of them relied on experience to supplement, and in a short period of time, the three of them had a feeling of benefiting a lot. In the attribute panel, Ji Qin's command rate has also increased a little, reaching eighty-five points.

With the arrival of the last retainer, the entire assessment room became quiet, looking at the middle-aged man who walked directly to the main seat and sat down, Ji Qin's heart sank, and he said secretly: "Jiuzheng (the previous head of the family) is actually here, it seems that Changzheng should have compromised, but I don't know how far the compromise has been." ”

After Jiuzheng returned to Xiaogu City because of Ji Qin's marriage with He, Ji Qin had already seen such a day, but Ji Qin hoped that Jiu Zheng would not block the advance of the chariot, otherwise, Ji Qin could only take risks for the sake of the unification of the world.

After Jiuzheng sat down, everyone in the room saluted and greeted him, and Ji Qin was no exception. With the arrival of Changzheng, the assessment room was quiet again.

Nagamasa looked at his retainers with satisfaction, and then made a passionate and generous opening speech, and then got to the point: "In the past year, the main family defeated the powerful Rokkaku family and occupied the entire Omi. ”

As soon as the words fell, a small surname stepped forward quickly, facing everyone, and kept reading according to the scroll, the reward, naturally it means something, the actual reward has been given as early as after the war, and now these are all rewards for some swords, horses and armor and the like, the most important is a few pieces of money, as the first merit, Ji Qin got an armor. Of course, everything is given subsequently.

"Thank you, my lord."

Changzheng nodded, and then said: "Last year, the lord of Guanyin Temple, Qimu Ji Qin, killed dozens of rebels and defeated the conspiracy of the Rokkaku family to recapture the South Omi. ”

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness." Ji Qin smiled at the corner of his eyebrows and knelt down. The rest of the people were also slightly surprised, the original Qimu family's Zhixing was about 15,000 stones, and now it has increased by 3,000 stones, and it has approached 20,000 stones.

The simple reward mobilized the fighting spirit of countless people, and Changzheng nodded imperceptibly. Subsequently, many retainers who were engaged in the government affairs of the territory last year were rewarded, and many of them were given hundreds of stones, and some of them were promoted to ranks, such as Asai Ryojin, who received five hundred stone of Zhixing; Miyabe Jijun became the Ashigaru general of the Asai family.

At the end of the reward, it can be regarded as a summary of everything last year, and now it is time to make a plan for the new year, and it is time for everyone to express their opinions, generally starting from the old family, and then ending with the generals, and the general and below will observe, and will not participate in the discussion of the new policy.

Haibei Tsunade didn't say a word, and Akao Kiyotsuna said: "I think that this year, my family should focus on consolidating Omi's rule, vigorously developing agriculture, accepting displaced people, and increasing the population. ”

Then Yumori Qingzhen said: "Seconded." Then, Endo Naokyo thought for a while and said, "I thought that Saito Yoshiko was mediocre and incompetent, and we could attack Mino as the main thing." ”

Ji Qin paused for a moment, and then said in a loud voice: "In my opinion, this year my family should focus on consolidating Omi, vigorously developing commerce, and expanding armaments for the coming year." Subsequently, Isono and others all supported one of the three according to their own ideas.

Endo's idea was most approved by the middle and low-level samurai, but unfortunately, they did not have the right to vote, so Naokei was defeated early because no one supported him. The rest of Akao Kiyotsuna and Kiyoshiqin were divided into two rows and argued with each other because the major policy was the same and the small policy was different.
