Kaga is one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts called Yamanaka Onsen, which is surrounded by mountains, valleys and rivers, and has beautiful scenery such as Tsurusen Stream.

Long Tao took Ah Guo and more than 20 other young witches to come here to relax.

Eight months of non-stop busyness, the biggest feeling that Long Tao has is that he is in urgent need of talents.

In order to expel Yixiangzong, he experienced more than 200 battles before and after, although most of them were not large-scale, and there were only forty or fifty battles with more than 1,000 people, but due to the frequent wars, Long Tao was either on the battlefield every day, or on the way to the battlefield, working hard and being really tired.

Fortunately, in terms of martial arts, Kenzaburo and others assisted him, who could help him share a lot of training tasks, and the most tiring was actually Takekawa Changjian, although he has also promoted several assistants over the years, but he can help only a lot.

Wu Chuan has really forgotten to sleep and eat in the past eight months, and he has lost a lot of weight.

Of course, this is the most fragile stage at the beginning of the creation of the new forces, and it needs to be taken care of, and it is necessary to work hard, however, after surviving the most difficult period, Long Tao doesn't want to do some trivial things himself, and his time can't be wasted.

"It seems that I have to find some help......" Long Tao hugged Ah Guo's snow-white and slippery body and sighed.

He is familiar with the entire game plot, each era, which towns have good abilities of the ronin, all by heart, and master the ninjutsu "hints" of Togakushi, which can invisibly affect the subconscious of others, greatly improving the success rate of persuasion, and it is not difficult to go out and recruit a few subordinates to come back.

"Lord Yi, Lord Wuchuan is asking to see you outside." Outside the hot springs, a shrine maiden announced.

"Let him wait."

After a while, Long Tao put on a wide civilian clothes and came to a small pavilion, where Wuchuan Changjian was sitting and waiting.

"Changjian, since you have come here, let's find a hot spring to take a good dip, you have worked hard these days!"

Wu Chuan leaned over and said: "Serving the Lord is a matter of duty, no matter how hard you work, you don't dare to slack off!" ”

Long Tao nodded, smiled with relief, and asked, "You must have something important to discuss with me when you found this place." ”

"Exactly." Wu Chuan nodded and said: "I want to discuss with the lord about increasing the population of Kaga, the stone height of Kaga is nearly 400,000 stones, plus the developed fishing industry along the coast, with the power of the country, it is not a problem to feed three or four hundred thousand people." ”

Ishitaka was a method of measuring the productivity of land during the Japanese shogunate period, and roughly refers to how much stone rice the land could produce in a year.

"What a fertile treasure land!" Wu Chuan couldn't help but sigh and continued: "However, the population of the entire Kaga country is less than 100,000, and now after the expulsion order of the lord, there may be more than 60,000 people left, the land is vast and sparsely populated, we need to attract a large number of people as soon as possible to increase production capacity, as long as the population is enough, I believe that Kaga will soon become a rich and powerful country!" ”

Long Tao nodded in agreement and asked, "What do you suggest?" ”

"At the moment, the fastest way to attract people is the Lord's cherry blossom way, and there are many and growing followers of the cherry blossom path all over Japan, so I would like to ask the lord to hold a cherry blossom path festival or something like that, so as to attract believers from all over the world to come to worship."

"The cherry blossom way is not a long-term solution." Long Tao shook his head and smiled: "But it's also a way to save the emergency." ”

"So be it." Long Tao pondered for a while, and continued: "Let's rebuild a cherry blossom palace, the new site will be selected around this mountain hot spring, and build a palace community, this time, all the palaces should be built as luxurious and magnificent as possible, and more should be built, completely surround this hot spring, and when you have nothing to do in the future, you can also come and enjoy it!" ”

Wu Chuan pondered for a while before he muttered, "Lord...... I thought we only needed to hold a party event, we just won Kaga, and it is not appropriate to build a large number of buildings, so it will cost the people and money, but I am afraid that it will not be good! ”

"Haha......" Long Tao laughed, "It's not necessarily a bad thing to work hard and lose money, it depends on how we use it." ”

“…… Please also teach the Lord! Wu Chuan looked ignorant.

"What if it's our own wealth that hurts?" Long Tao blinked and said with a smile: "Changjian, I want you to treat this matter as a big project, and the Sakura Palace will be built for me for at least a year and a half!" We have to recruit migrant workers at high prices, and if we pay two or three times as much as usual, I think even if we work hard, those migrant workers will be happy. ”

Wu Chuan thought for a while, his eyes widened violently, and he looked excited and surprised, "I understand!" This big project will attract a lot of people to Kaga, and there will be many skilled craftsmen among them, and if we show them the benefits of staying in Kaga, I believe that many people will stay, which is much better than those simple Sakura Taoist believers! ”

"And." Long Tao smiled slightly, "In addition to a large number of migrant workers, I believe there will be a lot of people who come to see the excitement, as soon as there are many people, it will naturally drive the commercial trade of Kaga, from wood, stone, grain, to all kinds of daily food and clothing utensils, will be quickly circulated, and building a cherry blossom palace can activate the entire Kaga, why don't we do it?" ”

Wuchuan Changjian bowed deeply, raised his head and admired: "I can't imagine that the lord has such an outstanding point in government affairs, it can be seen that the wealth of heaven is superior to others, and the great cause of the lord is really just around the corner!" ”

Long Tao smiled and said nothing, in modern society, these methods are just the usual means of regulation and control used by the governments of many countries, but with Wuchuan Changjian's knowledge, he will naturally feel that it is a whimsical trick.

"You don't have to be anxious about this project, you can plan first, I'm going to go out in the next few days, you and Saburo and they will guard Kaga first, if there is anything difficult to deal with, let the ninjas of Sakura Palace contact me as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Wu Chuan replied respectfully, and then asked, "I don't know where the lord is going?" The lord is already a daimyo at this time, so it's better not to move lightly. ”

"I'm going to go out and recruit a few government officials to come back to assist you, so I'll take the matter of building the Sakura Palace to them to practice, and when you train them almost, Kaga will be handed over to them to take care of, Hagi Castle is a place where you have been operating for many years, and you can't give up at will, and then you will go back to Hagi Castle and continue to recruit troops and buy horses, if I want to take Iwami Silver Mountain in the future, I have to use troops from there."

Wu Chuan listened to him arrange so much in one breath, pondered for a while, and then replied respectfully: "Yes, I will obey the orders of the lord!" ”

Long Tao stepped forward to help him up, grabbed his shoulders, and said sincerely: "Changjian, I know that you have always been loyal to me, so I will tell you the plan behind, to tell you the truth, Iwami Silver Mountain is actually the largest silver mine in Japan, the Maori family, the Niko family and the like, that group of daimyos, I don't realize its value at all, and when I get this mountain in the future, I will hand it over to you to take care of, I always remember the promise we made when we first met, you Takekawa Changjian will always be the first minister under my Ashikaga Yoshiclan!" ”

Wuchuan Changjian's eyes were red, and he knelt down again with emotion, and said loudly: "Thank you, lord!" I will definitely not disappoint the trust of the lord! ”

The next day, Long Tao began his journey to search for talents.

At this time, in 1562 of the Western calendar, Long Tao first came to the town of Inoguchi according to the memory of the game, where he found Maeda Genyi, then Masuda Nagamori in Mekada no Ma, Ina Tadaji in Kosaki no Matsu, and finally Okubo Chang in Kofu no Machi.

These four people are all famous ministers with excellent political ability in history, but at this moment, their identities are still just ronins, with the strength of Long Tao's identity, and with the ninjutsu "hint", it didn't take much to recruit all four people.

With the assistance of these four people, I believe that Kaga will definitely become Long Tao's most stable rear foundation, and he can also rest assured that the political affairs will be handed over to them, and it is enough for him to be only responsible for the conquest of the Quartet.

Long Tao arranged for them to return to Kaga first, everything was arranged by Wuchuan Changjian, and the next step, he should think about how to recruit a few general-type talents.
