In terms of agriculture, after a period of survey in Nanguangfang Tianhai, more than 2,000 stones were reclaimed, and they will start farming after the spring to increase the income of the Qimu family.

In terms of the navy, the waters of Lake Biwa have basically been taken over by the newly formed navy of the Asai family, and the navy has also found a settlement site along the coast of Wakasa, but there are no large ships that can be put into use, so the navy has basically lost its combat capability.

In the room, Yoshikoto sits, with Tsuru sitting on the left, Aichi holding Chacha on the right, and Yoyoshi and Tsuru Chiyo playing with Konohamaru in front of him.

"Xianggong, Konohamaru is almost three years old, do you need to find a teacher for him?"

Tsuru glanced at Konohamaru, who was playing happily, and asked softly towards Ji Qin, who heard this, nodded, and said, "The Half-Guard Association is a good teacher." ”

"Isn't Takenaka-sama busy? You've basically thrown everything to him about the army, and then let him be Konohamaru's teacher, is he too busy? ”

Ji Qin thought for a while and said firmly: "The army has nothing to do at the moment except for daily training, so let Konohamaru worship him as a teacher in the next year." ”

"Well, presumably Takenaka-sama will do his best to teach Konohamaru, sister, don't worry!"

Ah Shi turned his head sideways and said to Tsuru with a smile, and Tsuru also smiled and nodded.

……

After returning from the annual meeting in Kotani Castle and holding his own annual meeting, Yoshiqin took Konohamaru to the samurai yashiki of the Hanbei with him.

"Lord, why did you bring the young master too?"

After welcoming Ji Qin's father and son into the house, although the half-guard had a little guess in his heart, he still asked in surprise. Ji Qin smiled and said softly, "Konohamaru? ”

"Yes! Father. ”

Konohamaru, who was originally sitting on his knees with respectful legs bent, responded, immediately stood up, bowed ninety degrees to the half-guard, and said firmly: "Please also ask Lord Takenaka to accept Konohamaru as an apprentice!" Please! ”

The milky words made the half-soldier who was making tea a meal, and the tea that was just right overflowed instantly, and quietly put the teapot back into the distance, and the half-soldier looked at Ji Qin in surprise and said: "Lord, the young master is really tormenting the villain, how can he be the teacher of the young master, the lord should let the young master go back!" ”

Ji Qin saw that Hanbei's body didn't move, and he knew that there was still a drama in the matter, so his face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Could it be that Hanbei thinks that Konohamaru is not worthy of being your student?" ”

The face of the half-soldier changed, and then he said: "I don't have this idea, I just think that the lord can be ten times better than the half-soldier, why don't you teach the young master yourself, wouldn't it be better." ”

"Among the people in my family, who were born as serious samurai, you are the only ones who know how to teach Konohamaru. What Ogasawara and others want most is to restore their family name. ”

Ji Qin took a sip of tea and said no more. The half-guard glanced at Konohamaru, who had been in a bowing position for a while, and saw that although his legs were shaking slightly, he was still holding on, and nodded imperceptibly. All this was naturally seen by Ji Qin.

The half-guards didn't speak, Ji Qin didn't speak, and Konohamaru didn't dare to speak on the side. The atmosphere fell into a stagnation for a while. After a long time, I finally heard the half-soldier guard speak: "Since the lord insists on doing so, then the half-soldier guard will teach the young master for a period of time, and as for whether to serve as the young master's teacher, it depends on whether the young master can withstand the test." ”

Yoshiqin left Konohamaru at the half-guard, and after saying that he would pick him up in the evening, he left. At the time of this year's annual meeting of Kotani Castle, Nagamasa planned to invade Mino with the Oda family after spring ploughing, and although there was no name of Yoshiqin among the samurai who had already decided, Yoshiqin still needed to do something on his own.

In the study, Tahiro, who had been promoted to a samurai, knelt on the futon and said something respectfully.

"In accordance with the orders of the lord, Toji, Ota, and Omoto led a hundred ninja troops to closely monitor the new minister of the Miyoshi family, Matsunaga Hide, and on the way to monitor, he also investigated this person by the way, and found that although this person is slightly inferior to his younger brother Chang Lai, but the conspiracy politics is very good, and he has grown from a low-level samurai to a powerful minister who controls the Miyoshi family with the three people, which is not not vicious. Changqing's son Yixing was poisoned by him, and Changqing's brother Anton Zhaikang was also killed by him. Even, the three of them also found out that he couldn't get rid of Sanhao Changqing's death. ”

Ji Qin nodded, and said calmly: "Matsunaga Xiu, this person, is not easy to be subordinate, in a few years, he will be able to get rid of the three people and completely control the three good families, but he is much easier to deal with than Changqing." Is there anything else besides these? ”

"Yes! Lord, Jiuxiu is secretly planning a big event with the three of them, but the three of them haven't found out what it is. ”

The big event, according to the time, should be the assassination of the general, but I didn't expect that the general's family, an ally of the Asai family, who owns the land of the two countries, was still targeted by the conspirator Jiuxiu.

"Let them step up their investigations."

"Yes!"

"Let's go down!"

"Yes!"

……

"Toji, is Ota back?"

In a private house, Ogon and Toji were dressed as townspeople, and they said cautiously.

"It should be soon!"

As he spoke, Ota, who was pretending to be a farmer, walked back.

"The lord sent an order to strictly investigate the conspiracy between Song Yongxiu and the three of them. Have you noticed anything lately? ”

After Ota sat down, he asked the two of them, and Toji Yamato shook his head, but Toji said, "One of the middle shinobi of my team found out that the four of them will have a secret conversation in a Nanban merchant house in Sakai Town on the third day of the third month of the third month. ”

"Sakai Town, didn't you say this kind of thing in your own castle tower?"

"Maybe it's because Hisahide thinks that a place like Sakai Town is more suitable for what they want to discuss."

"That's it!"

Ota let out a low sigh, and the two of them closed their mouths. "Have you found out which Nanban merchant house it is?"

"Still investigating."

"As soon as possible, we're running out of time."

"Understood!"

……

"My lord, Toji and their mission has been successful, and it has been found out that Matsunaga Shu and others are plotting to assassinate the general, and they plan to do it on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, when the general is visiting Kiyomizu Temple."

Duo Guang placed a scroll on Ji Qin's desk and said respectfully.

"Okay, that's it, let the three of Ota come back. In addition, he sent an order to the door beast and Takixi, and brought back the family of the man. ”

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
