After turning around this Dongqi City, the clan couldn't help frowning, this is too broken, just with this pile of rotten wood, let alone the enemy's attack, I'm afraid that even a few rains can make it collapse. It's not as good as the samurai mansion in Cheongju Castle. It seems that if you want to repair it, it will cost a lot of money, although in the early days of the development of the Oda family, the direct ministers of the Oda family had to live in Kiyosu Castle most of the time to facilitate Nobunaga's summoning, but even if they came here to stay occasionally, they could not lose their lives.

Although in the eyes of the clan, Dongqi City is very bad, but before he arrived, the 5 ashigaru had already cleaned this place, so it looked very clean here. In the assessment room, the Takayama clan sat on the main seat, and the three retainers below sat on both sides.

Clan Zong looked at the half-withered cherry blossom tree outside the assessment room, and looked at the three retainers in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he has only been here for half a month, and now he not only has a retainer, but also owns a city, although there is no computer and television here, and there is not even much entertainment, but he likes this feeling, the feeling of controlling the fate of others.

The three retainers have been talking non-stop since they entered Dongqi City, and it can be seen that they are all very excited, and they invariably think in their hearts that with the continuous improvement of the status of the lord and the continuous increase of knowledge and action, they firmly believe that one day, they themselves will become the lord of a city.

"Qing Bingwei, how much money do you have at home now?" As early as a few days ago, in order to reduce the embarrassment of their troubles, the clan arranged jobs for them separately, Kagawa Tadaji was in charge of the family's belongings, Nakamura Kazushi was in charge of the family's internal affairs, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo was much stronger than the two in martial arts, so the clan planned to let him temporarily be in charge of training after recruiting Ashigaru.

In the past, it was obvious that only Tadaji Kagawa was busy, but he did have the talent for this and managed his family's money in an orderly manner.

Kagawa Tadaji couldn't wait to count the family's money every day, so he said without thinking: "Back to the lord, there are currently 2,532 yuan of money in the family. ”

The clan thought to himself, this money seems to be abundant, but he knows that he is used to spending money lavishly, and in the future, there will be more and more retainers, and if he doesn't get some side jobs, this money will be consumed sooner or later. Although I had the idea of making money with money, I haven't remembered what I want to do yet, so I can only put it aside for now. When you think of a possible solution, you will implement it.

Subsequently, the clan said to Nakamura Kazushi: "How much does it cost to repair the castle from the east? ”

After all, Nakamura Kazushi was taking over the internal affairs work for the first time, so he was very cautious, and in his opinion, this repair work was a test of his ability, saying that he would use the least amount of money to renovate the castle, and it should be sturdy and durable. After thinking about the place that Dongqi Castle needs to be repaired and the approximate amount of money, Nakamura Kazushi said: "Back to the lord, it will take about 300 yuan to repair Dongqi Castle, and the construction period will take 10 days. ”

This price is much lower than the price in the heart of the clan, and the cost of 300 guan is still acceptable. "Okay, the renovation will start tomorrow, and in ten days I will see Dongqi City look new."

"Yes! Subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord. Nakamura replied with a quick salute.

After arranging the work, the clan stood on the observation deck and wanted to look out of the window, in addition to the endless plain, you can also see the smoke rising from Zhuyuan Village not far away, a few children are playing in the village from time to time, outside the village, the villagers are working hard, there is little threat of war here, so the whole village seems very quiet, only here, people will not feel that they are in the troubled times at the moment.

After looking at it for a while, the clan suddenly calmed down a lot, and he came to the window on the other side to look out, only to see that there was also a city on a hillside a few hundred meters away, although the city was also a wooden structure, but it was much larger than the city from the east, and there were ashigaru appearances on the city wall from time to time, obviously it was not a ruined city.

Seeing that the two cities were so close, the clan thought to himself, although the eastern castle is in the middle of Owari, far away from the station or threat, but the strength of the clan is not vegetarian, if there is an outbreak one day, with the current dozen or so people, where can they stop the army of thousands or thousands of peasants, it seems that they must have a good relationship with the surrounding samurai.

Thinking of this, the clan asked the clan: "Yifeng, whose territory is the city in front of you?" ”,

Yamauchi Kazutoyo looked out and said, "Back to the lord, in front of you is the Arashiko City, the Zhixing of the Maeda family." ”

Wasteland City? Toshiya Maeda? After hearing this, the clan sect quickly moved his thoughts, and it has been half a month since the battle between the barrels and the narrow rooms. During this period of time, the Oda family has never seen the Maeda Toshiya figure, which means that he should still be exiled by Oda Nobunaga, this is the best opportunity to recruit him as a retainer, although there are now three retainers in the family, but looking at this era, with their ability can only be regarded as a second-rate samurai, and the Maeda Toshiya can definitely be regarded as a first-class samurai. You must not miss such an opportunity, if you wait for him to return to the Oda family, or wait for him to inherit the 3,000 stone Zhixing of Arako City, then it will be absolutely impossible to recruit him as a retainer. And now he's just a ronin, and he's still somewhat sure, it's a godsend.

Thinking of this, the clan clan hurriedly ordered: "Yifeng, hurry up and prepare the horse, I am going to visit Lord Maeda Toshimasa." ”

Yamauchi Kazutoyo didn't move, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "Lord, my subordinates think it's better not to go." "Yamauchi Kazutoyo said this is also for the sake of the lord, since the Maeda Toshiya beheaded Ten Ami in front of Nobunaga and was banished, at the beginning, the Oda family still had many samurai to intercede for him, Nobunaga not only did not move, but scolded these intercessing samurai. After doing this a few times, except for a few important ministers such as Shibata Katsuie, the other samurai no longer touched Nobunaga's brows, and when they saw Nobunaga hating the Maeda Toshiya so much, they were even more afraid to avoid the people of the Maeda clan, for fear of being involved with the Maeda clan and being hated by Oda Nobunaga.

Over time, the Maeda clan was left in the cold, and no samurai ever went to Arako Castle in the past two years. And since the accident of the Maeda family, the people of the Maeda family have also begun to deliberately keep a low profile, not socializing with other samurai, and even if there is no important matter, they will not even come out of the Arako Castle, and the Arako Castle seems to have been forgotten with the fall of the Maeda family.

After the clan learned about the recent situation of the Maeda family from Yamauchi Kazutoyo, he couldn't help but secretly applaud in his heart, and he was worried that he couldn't subdue the Maeda Toshi family, and now the solution came. He said loudly: "Leave them alone, go and prepare the horses, and set off now." The tone of the clan was unquestionable.

"It's... Be! The subordinates will go. Seeing that the lord was so resolute, Yamauchi Kazutoyo stopped persuading him, and turned around to prepare his horse.

Outside Arako Castle, two Maeda family ashigaru were standing guard in front of the door, looking listless, leaning against the doorpost with their spears in hand. But just when they were bored, two fast horses suddenly galloped in the distance, one in front of one behind them.

One of the ashigaru immediately stood up and said to the other ashika, "Yozaburo, quick, get up, there is a samurai-sama coming to the wasteland,"

The ashigaru named Yozaburo didn't move, but just glanced into the distance and said, "I said, don't be surprised, these two adults are clearly passing by." ”

After hearing this, the other ashigaru scratched his head, smiled stupidly and said, "Hehe, that's right, who else will come to the wasteland now." After speaking, he returned to the comfortable posture just now, closed his eyes and recuperated.
