Gao Xianda's meaning is undoubtedly to praise Matsudaira Motoyasu as the chief minister to give full play to his ability in internal affairs. www.biquge.info According to him, if he can really become the chief minister, then the power is of course much more important than the lord of Okazaki Castle.

If the Imagawa family failed to go to Lo this time and their control was seriously reduced, Matsudaira Motoyasu certainly hoped to return to Okazaki Castle and then try to become independent from the Imagawa family.

However, the Imagawa family completely annexed the Oda family this time, so neither Matsudaira Motoyasu nor Sakai Tadaji had any idea of independence now.

Gao Xianda's combat effectiveness is obvious to all, so if Gao Xianda said that the Imagawa family can really succeed in Shangluo and become a member of the world, then it is really possible.

In this battle, the Imagawa family's troops were also seriously damaged, and at this stage, someone was really needed to manage internal affairs and restore production, so Gao Xianda recommended Matsudaira Motoyasu to become a commissioner, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Sakai Tadaji, as a veteran of Mikawa, naturally hopes that Matsudaira Motoyasu can go back. But Matsudaira Motoyasu knew that if he insisted repeatedly, he might annoy Gao Xianda.

So Matsudaira Motoyasu said: "Then there is Lord Lao." Whether I am a priest at Sunpu Castle or a lord of Mikawa, our Matsudaira family is a part of the Imagawa family and serves the Imagawa family wholeheartedly. ”

Speaking of which, Matsudaira Motoyasu has begun to show his loyalty.

Gao Xianda said: "Lord Yuankang, don't worry, there are still many opportunities to exert the power of you and your retainers!" ”

Matsudaira Motoyasu claimed yes, and then ordered Tadaji Sakai to stand up.

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Sakai Tadaji hurriedly stood up, went to the store to get some wine back, and toasted Gao Xianda with a glass, which was regarded as an apology for the gaffe just now.

Of course, Gao Xianda said a few polite words, saying that there is nothing to apologize for, I admire the loyalty of your old ministers of Sanhe, or something.

Gao Xianda couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, no longer talking about political matters, but instead asking about the origin of this mountain whale.

Sakai Tadaji also wanted to change the topic quickly, so he said: "The north of the Sanhe River is close to the mountainous area, and the forest is flourishing, so there are naturally many wild boars in the forest. However, if you want to rely on Orion alone, the effect will inevitably be very limited. When Lord Motoyasu's grandfather, Lord Qingyasu, was still alive, he began to let some hunters artificially breed the wild boars they caught. Although the effect is limited, it is still quite effective after so many years. However, there are many people who have successfully experimented and have been able to artificially breed some mountain whales. However, this is something that cannot be talked about after all, and the number of breeding is also small, so it can only be eaten by a few samurai, and the common people still have no chance to see it. ”

I didn't expect that there would be a place for artificial pig breeding in the Three Rivers area, which made Gao Xianda very excited.

"That's a good thing!" "In fact, raising pigs is very beneficial, not only can it make the body stronger, but also the fertilizer produced by raising pigs can also be used to fertilize the field." We should promote it vigorously! Let the people under the Imagawa family eat meat. ”

This benefit has been discovered by Chinese farmers for a long time. Gao Xianda is just paraphrasing.

The land in Japan is already barren, and there are not many places to farm, so they no longer have such an excellent farming method, so they naturally do not have enough food to eat.

"However, in this case, I'm afraid that the emperor's side will not be easy to explain." Tadaji Sakai said.

"You people of the Three Rivers have been eating meat for so long, don't outsiders know? But who has come to you for trouble? "And our Imagawa family has just wiped out the Oda family, and it is when the momentum is like a rainbow, who dares to come to us for trouble?" ”

Sakai Tadaji knew that Gao Xianda's mind had been decided, so he couldn't admonish him anymore.

The next day, at the strong request of Gao Xianda, Sakai Tadaji reluctantly led the team to the pig farm to observe it.

The scale of this pig farm is not large, only a dozen pigs are raised, and all of them are skinny, and they seem to have no appetite at all. Of course, they are not to blame for this. Now the war is in chaos, and the year is not good. Moreover, Japan has always cultivated rice, and the yield is very low. People can't eat enough, how can there be special food for raising pigs!

This pig farm can exclusively support more than a dozen pigs, which is already the largest. It's really normal to lose weight.

But even so, it's a pig!

Gao Xianda drooled when he saw it.

After visiting the surrounding environment, Gao Xianda proposed to purchase live pigs.

The owner of the pig farm also raises pigs for a living, and since he was introduced by Tadaji Sakai and the owner of the restaurant, of course he has no reason to refuse.

He was kind enough to offer a less friendly price: 1 pound per pound of pork.

When Gao Xianda bought the rare tuna in Sunfu Town, the price of fish meat was already very expensive, only 100 wen a catty, and the net meat was only 200 wen. And this pork was directly bought for 1 yuan, that is, 1000 Wen.

"You're a little too expensive, aren't you?" Gao Xianda looked surprised.

But the owner of the pig farm had apparently seen the big market as well, so he said, "These pork of mine are all high-end goods sold to rich samurai." If you don't have any money, go to the fish market and buy some small fish and go back to eat. ”

Gao Xianda glanced at Sakai Tadaji and said, "It seems that you samurai from Sanhe live a very wealthy life, isn't there someone who has embezzled military funds?" ”

This startled Tadaji Sakai. After all, Okazaki Castle has always been managed by the Matsudaira family, and when Gao Xianda said this, he was suspicious of them.

Moreover, Mikawa's old ministers have a big plan, and they do hide their selfish intentions, hoping to let Matsudaira Motoyasu come back to inherit the family governor and break away from the control of the Imagawa family.

Although Sakai Tadaji stays in Sunfu Castle all the year round, he also has a part in this matter, and if it is really thoroughly investigated, he can't get out of it.

So he hurriedly stood up, stopped the pig farm owner, and said, "What are you talking nonsense! This is the true lord of the Imagawa family, and if he can come to buy your meat, he will lift you up. How dare you inflate prices with adults? How can a samurai afford to sell it at this price? ”

The boss was just a rural villager, and he didn't know who the Imagawa family's true lord was, and he really didn't raise the price, so he was a little confused for a while, so he said: "A lot of people can afford it, Okubo-sama, Ishikawa-sama, and Honda-sama, whenever I kill pigs, they will come to me to buy meat." I've got you the fair price! ”

Sakai Tadaji was so angry that he immediately pulled out the knife from his waist and wanted to hack this mouthy boss to death.

Gao Xianda pulled him back and said with a smile: "Why are you angry all of a sudden?" The three people mentioned by this boss seem to be all genealogical retainers of the Matsudaira family, right? How is it possible for a country man to know so many big people? You're not going to kill people, are you? ”
