Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Trip to the Workshop District

And the training class you came up with, at first I actually thought it was just a disguised way to attract the children of the wealthy families and countrymen who surrendered within the territory of the family as hostages, but I really didn't expect it to have such an effect now. At that time, I was still thinking that it was a waste www.biquge.info of money to raise so many children!

The business model of the family was built by you, the agricultural technology of the family was proposed by you, the road construction of the family was conceived by you, the workshop area of the family was also advocated by you, and the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Jianzhou Jurchens, as well as the diplomatic strategy of friendship with the imperial court and the shogunate, if it were not for you, the family decided not to do these things. ”

"Father, the family has been able to get to this point, and it does have something to do with me, but it has something to do with you, the three uncles, Kobei, the Miki family, and Konishi-sama, Miyata-sama, and even every ashigaru in the family, the soldiers who fought for the family in the past, and now every person in the collar has a relationship."

"Is that why you've always put population first?"

"Yes, my lord, someone may be able to do something great with his outstanding talent, but if there is no one to assist and drive him, even if Xiang Yu and Nanmu Zhengcheng are reincarnated, they will definitely not be able to make a difference. This is why in the troubled times, most of the people who finally get the world are not strong in martial arts. ”

"I see what you mean." Kuroda nodded and said.

At this time, Kuroda suddenly remembered the Marxist philosophy he had studied, which described that history is created by working people, and heroes can only promote the course of history, but cannot create history. This is the only historical materialist view in history that gives high praise to the relationship between working people and history, and Kuroda suddenly felt that he really couldn't remember the original text of this passage, but it was indeed too reasonable.

If he really rises to power in the future, he really can't be blindly arrogant, and he must unswervingly rely on the strength of the people, only in this way can he consolidate his rule, and at the same time continue to enhance the strength of the Kuroda family, and finally attack that position.

Think about the Shimabara Amakusa Rebellion in history, because the third generation of the Tokugawa family, Tokugawa Iemitsu, once again issued a "ban on religion", allowing the daimyo Matsukura Katsuya to enter the head of the Hizen Kuniji Temple Ryō who was ordered to seppuku, and began the brutal persecution of the Kiritan disciples, and as many as 10,000 Kirithitan disciples were burned to death by the Matsukura Katsuya family in six years.

Under the leadership of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, the Kirichi Dan disciples rose up and successively killed the old Kojima Gobei of the Matsukura family and Itakura Shigemasa Shigemasa, the representative of the Kyoto office. Tokugawa Iemitsu, the last three generations of generals, made the old Naka Matsudaira Nobutsuna the general general, and transferred as many as 130,000 troops and horses from all over the country to suppress the Cheitan uprising.

Why did the daimyo implement benevolent government and why they were afraid of the occurrence of a whim, it does not mean that as long as the people are united, the ruler will still be afraid, so Kuroda Vocational High School does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and must pay back to the people, so that they can eat, wear clothes, and have hope of living.

"So father, please don't have such thoughts, when I go out to fight, only when my father is in Kuroda Castle and mobilizes the Quartet, I can work hard for the Kuroda family with peace of mind! Father ......," Kuroda said.

"This ...... Actually, there is no big conflict with the alternation of the governor, after you become the governor, although I have relieved my burden, I can still live in Kuroda Castle, and when you go out, work with the commissioners to do your logistics and security work, so that's it! ”

"Father's ......"

Kuroda said very resolutely this time: "This matter is so decided, next New Year's Day, I will officially pass on the position of family governor to you, don't quarrel anymore, I believe that the Kuroda family will be stronger under your governance, and the steps will be bigger, you are a young man, you have your own ideas." An old man like me, let's take a break! I've been under a lot of pressure over the years. ”

"In that case, everything is arranged by my father." Kuroda said after a bow.

Because of Xie Tianqi's departure, although he said that Ling Wei would not leave together, but after meeting his father and saying about Xie Tianqi, Kuroda was still a little uneasy, so after knowing his father, he took his own guards, and specially brought Matsujumaru, Ichimatsu, Toranosuke, and Sanemon four children to go together.

Kuroda Vocational High School first wanted to see the current situation in the workshop area, saying that he has been busy with various affairs, as well as fighting outside, and has not been to the workshop area for a long time.

And the workshop area and the Kuroda family's strong combat effectiveness are inseparable, Kuroda Vocational High School feels that it seems that it is indeed not enough to care about it, and this time Xie Tianqi's departure is also an opportunity!

The second is to take a look at Ling Wei's current situation and confirm whether he is stable, after all, he is the only high-level iron cannon craftsman in the Kuroda family now, and there are some things that must be confirmed, such as the desire to go back to Mingguo.

The third is because I want to open the eyes of Matsujumaru and several of his companions.

Matsujumaru is now six years old, and Kuroda Vocational High School found that this child has been well-behaved since he was a child, and he is smart and wise, plus he is the eldest son of the Kuroda family, and he is a good heir to the family governor.

And unlike Kumanosuke as the second son, Kumanosuke is actually the eldest son of the Kuroda family in history, Kuroda Nagamasa, because Kuroda Zhigao married Ali, and Mr. Matsujumaru is now, so he became the second son of the Kuroda family, although he is also a son-in-law, but the second is the second, so theoretically he lost the opportunity to inherit the Kuroda family.

But one thing that worries Kuroda is that this historical Kuroda Nagamasa has also shown extraordinary talent, and he is not much younger than Matsujumaru, and he has also shown some ambitions of his own.

Kuroda Vocational High School is also a little speechless about this, the historical Kuroda family is indeed Kuroda Nagamasa, but now that there is an older brother than him, Kuroda Vocational High School feels that he will have to teach Kumanosuke well in the future, otherwise it is likely that after he becomes an adult, the Kuroda family itself will have civil strife over the heir issue.

Fortunately, most of the retainers of the Kuroda family, especially those discovered by Kuroda Vocational High School himself, as well as the training classes and the characters who came out of the small surname, all supported Matsujumaru.
