31 Applying for funds and supplies

Facing the angry gaze of the girls, Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, completely reflected these eyes that could kill, and then said casually to the black long straight Lori Naoe:

"You are indeed very capable, and your ability to handle government affairs is excellent.

However, due to the limitations of knowledge and the lack of experience, you can only achieve average excellence, and you will not be able to make the strength of the Uesugi family grow rapidly.

Therefore, I need to obtain this part of the power, and then carry out drastic reforms in the Uesugi family's production methods and economic policies, so that the Uesugi family's financial and material resources can expand rapidly, so that they can support a stronger army.

Of course, if I could, I would like to have the right to train in the army, but it would be better if this part of the power should be in the hands of Kenshin, who is the lord.

But I hope that Kenshin will adopt my new training method.

These days, in addition to teaching Ayagozen, I've trained her direct soldiers a little, so you can go and check the effect when you have time. ”

"What? What else do you do these days?

I thought you were just like me, just loafing around all day......"

Listening to Chu Xuan's words, the glamorous female version of Maeda Keiji said in surprise.

Although the others didn't have her strange reaction, their attention had been successfully attracted to the things Chu Xuan was talking about.

"So, a few days ago, you traveled almost all of Echigo, just to learn more about Echigo's government affairs, right?

That's really ...... I'm sorry that I've been misunderstanding you before. ”

Hei Changzhi Lori Naoe Kane's face looked a little better, and she took the initiative to bow to Chu Xuan and apologize, but then she raised her head and said very seriously:

"But even so, I still can't easily put the entire Uesugi family's affairs in your hands.

After all, we still don't know if your knowledge and abilities can really make the Uesugi family's strength grow rapidly...... Logically speaking, apart from plundering through war, it is impossible to rely on internal political means to grow rapidly in power.

In addition, if your reform measures are too radical, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the old and important ministers such as the Jing family and the Dingman family, and it will plunge the Uesugi family into turmoil before it can be effective. ”

This Hei Changzhi Lori, who served as the "housekeeper wife" of Qianxin Sauce, once again rejected Chu Xuan's request, and did not easily agree because he was worried that his loyalty would be misunderstood by others as a refusal to give up power, in order to show that he had no selfish intentions.

Rather than being alone, she would rather be misunderstood by everyone and even her own lord, and she should bear the stigma to protect the foundation of the Uesugi family.

However, Chu Xuan originally did not take the opportunity to remove Naoe Kaneji from power, as if he had expected the other party to refuse, he calmly explained:

"No...... I didn't mean to replace you, all I needed was this one approval.

Normally, you will still arrange and implement the work of the Uesugi family, and I will consult with you before implementing a plan.

But I have to have that power so that I can correct the problem as soon as I see it, rather than having to get your or Humility's consent again before I can intervene.

Moreover, my plan will not touch the interests of other retainers, I will only carry out reforms in the direct territory of the Uesugi family, and in the end, it will be completely Kenshin's personal strength.

In the early days, the other retainers didn't understand the benefit of my approach, and they would just think I was messing around, and they were happy to sit back and watch the excitement of Humility.

When they found out that Qianxin's strength had grown rapidly, even if they wanted to unite against Qianxin, they couldn't do it, so they could only honestly show their obedience.

Only then will I move on to the next step of my plan to solve the problems of these veterans once and for all. ”

"That's ......"

After listening to Chu Xuan's simple description, this young but already very important minister-like black long straight Lori thought about it seriously, and then said to Chu Xuan:

"After all, this matter is related to the fortunes of the entire Echigo country, and although you are a person favored by the gods, I also think that I cannot rush to leave this matter to you.

However, I think this is something to consider, and although I know that I will never be able to make the Uesugi family grow rapidly, maybe you can really do it, and I want to try to believe in you. ”

Naoe said this as he turned his head to look at Kenshin-chan with an inquiring gaze.

Kenshin-chan sat up straight, closed his eyes seriously and pondered for a while, then nodded solemnly:

"Since Chu Xuan has already said that he will discuss it with us first, then there is nothing to say, if something really goes wrong in the future, it will be the fault of all of us.

In this world, how can there be a good thing that can win without taking risks at all, I also want to believe in Chu Xuan, I believe that Chu Xuan can indeed do it.

It's good to implement it in my direct collar first, and even if it fails, only the Uesugi family will suffer, and it won't affect the people of Echigo. ”

Because of his own intuition and Chu Xuan's aura of "a person favored by the gods", Qian Xin-chan preliminarily agreed to his request, but before it could be implemented, she and Naoe had to see a detailed plan before making a decision.

"The Lord cares about the people of Echigo, and I am really touched by it, so this matter will be decided first."

There was a glint of reverence in the eyes of the black long straight Lori Naoe, and she bowed to Kenshin chan sincerely.

Then she turned around and asked Chu Xuan, who had reflective glasses:

"So, Lord Chu Xuan, may I ask how many materials and funds are needed for your plan?"

"Three hundred adult male laborers, one thousand three hundred pounds of capital, at least five hundred pounds of iron, as much wood and firewood as possible, a thousand pounds of river or sea sand, as many ores as possible......"

Chu Xuan unceremoniously reported the amount of various materials he had calculated, not counting cash and labor, it was not easy to collect so many kinds of materials according to his requirements.

By the time Chu Xuan finished reporting his request, the face of the "housekeeper wife" Naoe Kanexu had turned blue, and Qianxin-chan also showed a painful expression.

"That...... Lord Kenshin......"

Hei Changzhi Lori Naoe Kanesu seemed to deliberately look away, resolutely not making contact with Chu Xuan's gaze, as if he wanted to make some kind of suggestion to Qianxin-chan, but he felt that he couldn't say it.

Well...... Even if it goes without saying, everyone should understand, it seems that under the huge pressure of labor, capital and materials, Zhijiang Jian Jian didn't even plan to listen to Chu Xuan's use, and wanted to retract what he said before.

"Hmm...... Anyway, let's listen to Chu Xuan's statement first.

With such a large amount of material, it is not reassuring if it is not clear in advance where it will be used and whether it will be effective. ”

Although Qianxin-chan also felt very reluctant, especially with such a large amount of expenditure, maybe even one-tenth of the cost of drinks would be deducted next month, or even canceled completely, but the "principle" in her heart made her unable to break her word and gain weight without reason.

"Hmm...... Case...... Then let's listen to it first......"

There was a struggling expression on the face of the black long straight Lori Naoe, and finally nodded very hard.

"So, let me explain in detail my specific plans and what these supplies are used for......"

At this time, Chu Xuan threw out a stack of densely written papers from his arms, handed them to Naoe Kanesu and Kenshin-chan, and then pushed down the reflective glasses and began to talk eloquently.

……

……

……

"That's all for the first phase of the plan and the supplies needed.

After the successful completion of the first phase of the plan, the Uesugi family expects to have 3,000 professional soldiers who will be separated from the military and the peasantry.

Far from being affected, agricultural production will be sevenfold more efficient thanks to the use of new tools.

Surplus labor can be freed from agricultural production and invested in industry, making our secret weapon, making all kinds of industrial products that can greatly improve the quality of life of the people, manufacturing high value-added export-oriented products, and earning a lot of profits.

In terms of force, the presence of Ayagozen was enough to suppress opposition within the Uesugi family; And against foreign enemies, we also have a secret weapon, so even if several daimyo around Echigo come to attack Echigo at the same time, we can defend it with ease. ”

I don't know how long it has been.,When I was forced to listen to these boring explanations in the study, I could already listen to Aya-Gomae, the half-race female ninja Haru and the glamorous female version of Maeda Keiji, when they woke up drooling again, they found that the faces of the black long straight Lori Naoe Kanesu and Kenshin-chan all showed an unusually haggard look.

"Hmm...... Finished?

Suck - Goo ......

I'm so hungry, I can finally go to eat.

Kenshin-chan,-chan?

What's the matter, your face looks so bad......"

After studying with Chu Xuan for a while, Aya Yuzen was already very familiar with Chu Xuan's teaching style, and he would naturally wake up when he got out of class...... It's a joke.

At this moment, after Ayago woke up, it was just in time for Chu Xuan's summary of the surname, so she quietly woke up the mixed-race female ninja Haru Yue and the glamorous female version of Maeda Keiji, and Chu Xuan's explanation also ended at the same time.

"Uh......h Sister...... Please come and help me and continue ......"

I don't know why, Kenshin-chan and Kanji-chan, who are also black and straight-haired, both seem to have burned out at this time, and both of them have turned gray and white.

Perhaps because they had been kneeling for so long, they had completely lost sensation in their legs, so they could only weakly ask Ayago, who seemed to be sleeping energetically, to come and help them.

"Huh...... It's finally over, eat and eat......"

Behind the two of them, Keiji Maeda, a glamorous female version with tatami marks on his face and body, stretched out widely, yawning as he walked out. (To be continued.) )
