In order to thank Kosaka Masanobu for his sincere care for Reina, Yoshihiro tried his best to show his enthusiasm.

Kosaka Masanobu bit his sleeve, and was shocked by the powerful father's love as Yoshigan thanked him time and time again, and he deeply felt Yoshigan's care for Rena.

When Rena woke up from her sleep, everything had already settled. She blinked her cute big eyes, saw Yoshiyin beside her, and stretched out her arms happily.

"Father, give me a hug."

Although Yoshigami had already thanked Kosaka Masanobu until his whole body was sore and his waist was stiff, he still smiled and picked up Reina and talked to her intimately.

Takasaka Masanobu, who was beside them, smiled very reluctantly. In order not to make a sound, she bit her sleeves and her teeth were sore. At this moment, her kimono was still in a mess.

However, in front of Reina, Kosaka Masanobu could not show his embarrassed look, so she could only cheer up and look at the father and daughter who were extremely important in her heart, smiling and saying nothing.

After Yoshigami hugged Reina's soft little body and vented his passion on Kosaka Masanobu, the time of the upright and sage was very ethereal.

He asked Reina in a low voice.

"Reina, if you had a sister, what would you do to her?"

Reina shook her little head, seeming a little confused.

"Sister...sister...sister?"

"Yes, it's Rena who is a little younger than Reina."

Reina seemed to understand a little bit, and she giggled.

"Play, I want to play with my sister, where is my sister?"

Yoshigami touched Rena's little head and laughed at himself. How could a three-year-old child understand the stakes? He was so bored that he even asked Rena about such a thing.

However, Masanobu Kosaka who was beside him had misunderstood. He blushed and lowered his head, touching his flat belly and feeling the warmth in it, Yoshiyin's thank you gift.

Rena's sister? Maybe there will be hope this time? Grateful heart, thank you for having me.

Kosaka Masanobu didn't know about Uesugi Miyuki, so he misunderstood Yoshigan's remarks.

And Yoshigan is having a headache and doesn't want to explain more. Uesugi Miyuki's matter will soon spread, and by then, Yoshigan will be even more passive.

I have two daughters, which is really a blessing.

———

With happy worries, Yoshigan embarked on a journey to Ishiyama Sakai Port.

Of course, Ishiyama Honganji Temple warmly welcomes Yoshigan's arrival. For Honganji Kenyo, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yoshigan is a lifesaver.

Although the Ichiki clan seems to be the biggest trouble for the Oda family, life is also very difficult for the Ichikai clan under the crazy pressure of Oda Nobunaga.

Nobunaga's two encirclements failed one after another. As the strong feudal clan of the samurai family was eliminated by Oda Nobunaga, Ichibuki Mune was helplessly pushed to the forefront of the anti-Oda front.

The Omi Ichikō sect temple had been cleaned up due to the crazy counterattack of the Oda family. Oda Nobunaga's method of dealing with the nuns and followers of these temples was very simple, that is, to kill them all with a butcher knife.

Omi Ichikui was uprooted, and Mitsuiji Temple, as a hub, no longer dared to take in the Ichiko sect nuns, and the information channels from Ishiyama Honganji Temple to Ichiko sect temples in various places became intermittent.

Ishiyama Honganji, Nagashima Ichikui, and Kaga Echu Ichikui were separated. Seeing that Oda Nobunaga was about to raise a butcher's knife against Nagashima Ichikui, further weakening the strength of the Ichikai clan.

At this moment, Yoshigan resolutely went to Luo to raise the banner of anti-Oda. In Honganji Xianru's heart, wasn't he his savior?

Yoshigan Shiba is known as the Ashikaga Military God. Since his debut, he has never lost a battle.

With this great god coming forward to confront Oda Nobunaga, Ishiyama Honganji was of course happy to cheer for the Shiba family and hide behind to watch the show.

As for Shiba Yoshigan's request to seek union at Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Master Mingyu naturally responded to all requests.

Originally, the interest relationship between the Ishiyama Honganji Temple and the Shiba family was very deep. The two parties had been cooperating on the Hokuriku Road Trading Road for three or four years. It was obvious that the Master himself was the largest shareholder and supporter of the trading road.

At this moment, both sides are on the opposite side of the Oda family and unite to fight against Oda Nobunaga. There is no problem in deepening cooperation.

Master Xian Ru's attitude is very clear. If you want money and food, you must give money and food, and if you need cooperation, you must cooperate. As long as Yoshihiro is willing to fight Oda Nobunaga from the front, Ishiyama Honganji will be the Shiba family's staunchest ally.

Yoshigan's time was tight and he could not leave Kyoto for too long. He only stayed at Ishiyama Honganji Temple for one day. After confirming the attitude of Kenryo Master, he immediately set off for Sakai Port.

———

Sakai Port, the headquarters of the Shinsengumi.

Except for the frail and sick Takada Yukino, all the resident warriors met with Yoshigan in the meeting hall, and then Yoshigan left Takada Harano to talk alone.

Looking at the magnificent meeting hall, recalling the beautiful scenery of the courtyard just passed by, Yiyin found that it seemed that the place had been expanded again, and a lot of expensive decorations had been added.

He couldn't help but say.

"I remember the last time I came here, the desk next to the main table didn't seem to be this color."

Takada Yono smiled.

"Your Majesty has such a good eye, you can tell at a glance that this thing is extraordinary. It is made of small-leaf red sandalwood imported from the Celestial Empire. The wood is as warm and moist as jade, and it is more valuable than gold."

Yoshigan glanced at Takada Haruno.

"Am I bragging? Are you embarrassed to show off?

As a Ji warrior, he knew nothing about thrift and self-restraint, and lived a luxurious life.

Don’t you know how many people at home and outside your home are gossiping about you behind your back? Can’t you restrain yourself a little bit?”

Takada Yono bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I like luxury, it's just that I also have my own difficulties.

Starting four years ago, I successively borrowed large amounts of money and food from Tukura in Sakai Port Kyoto to support the construction costs of the Hokuriku Road trade road.

Spending money was like running water. There was never too much money and food. I borrowed and repaid, borrowed and repaid, and finally borrowed more and more, and borrowed more and more.

So far, I have been burdened with millions of dollars in loans, and the interest I need to pay each year alone amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After lending me so much money and food, even if the stewards of the earthen warehouse trust me again, they will inevitably feel hesitant and uneasy.

Therefore, I have to make my life richer so that I can appease their hearts."

Yiyin was stunned when he heard this.

He knew that Takada Haruno had always been bold and unruly, and played with financial means of tearing down the east wall to pay for the west wall. But he really didn't expect that Takada Haruno had already been burdened with millions of dollars in loans.

You know, the total annual trade volume between Kanto and Kansai is only five million guan, so Takada Yono really dares to borrow it.

However, come to think of it, the Hokurikudo trade route started from scratch, and in just four years it rose from the ground and became the treasure trove of the Shiba family. The investment behind this must have been a huge investment of gold and silver.

Takada Harano was able to carry huge debts and constantly borrow new money to spend money, and he was indeed a natural business wizard.

She has a big and calm heart. If it were an ordinary person carrying so much debt, they wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

It's no wonder that she decorated the Shinsengumi's residence in an extravagant manner. Without this wealth for outsiders to see, the storehouse stewards wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Takada Haruno has to give out hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest alone a year. If she eats rice bran every day and looks like she is about to go bankrupt at any time, who would dare to lend her money? Aren't you afraid that she won't come out yet?

The more luxurious she lives, the more at ease the borrowers outside look at her. There is really no way around it. She has to pretend to be fat.

Yiyin subconsciously touched his forehead, his head hurt, and he suddenly couldn't speak.

This time when I came to Sakai Port, Yoshihiro was looking for Takada Harano to raise military funds for the war with the Oda family.

But when Takada Haruno came up, he revealed that he was owed millions of dollars and had a huge debt of hundreds of thousands in interest. Yoshihiro, one of the most powerful people in the world, was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Yiyin's silence, Takada Yono smiled secretly in his heart.

She used the debt to bluff people, not to avoid the political task of raising military expenses, but to demonstrate her worth to the king.

The incident about Uesugi Miyuki has not spread yet, but Rena Takeda is a living example.

Takada Haruno also wants seeds and wants to give birth to a child of your Majesty. Of course, she must show her unique value. Otherwise, why would she be so proud of herself and ask you to get the seed?

At this moment, Yi Gin couldn't open his mouth, so Takada Haruno wanted to help him open his mouth, she said.

"Your Majesty Hidetake, you just visited Ishiyama Honganji Temple when news came from there.

The Master said that interest on loans from the Ichigo clan-related warehouses will be waived this year, and Ishiyama Honganji will also cooperate with my trading route's securitization transformation as the major shareholder of the Hokurikudo Trading Road.

With these two items alone, tens of thousands of yuan will be saved in borrowing interest this year, and with the support of the largest shareholder, the speed of Shanglu's securitization will also be accelerated.

In addition, Ishiyama Honganji Temple will also invest in purchasing a batch of Shiba food stamps as a proof of deepening cooperation with the Shiba family. The price of the food stamps is calculated based on the market premium, with two stones of grain purchased for one stone of food stamps.

I just printed a few more pieces of paper and got a large sum of food out of thin air. This is all due to Lai Junshang's prestige, and I have benefited a lot."

Yiyin smiled bitterly.

“Although Ishiyama Honganji Temple is extremely wealthy, Master Xianru cannot control all the local nuns, and the financial support he can give is this much.

The maximum amount is only more than ten thousand guan of money and tens of thousands of dan of grain, which are astronomical figures in the eyes of ordinary people, but if they are used for military purposes, they are just a drop in the bucket."

Takada Yangno nodded and said.

"Yes, the Oda family owns a territory of three million koku. Even if the newly conquered Kitaomi and Echizen Kingdom's million koku are temporarily unable to collect military and food services, their mobilization power is amazing.

Calculated with four citizens and six citizens, the output of the two million stone territory would be as high as 800,000 stone grain.

In addition, most of the entire Ise Bay and Lake Biwa are controlled by the Oda family, and the Rakuza policy cooperates with taxation, and the annual business profit and commercial tax can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Excluding the necessary expenses for maintaining the territory, His Highness Oda can at least raise a million koku for military expenses, which is enough to support a hundred thousand troops to fight fiercely for several months."

Yiyin sighed helplessly.

Although Takada Yono doesn't understand military affairs, war is a money-burning trick. Takada Yono is the most sensitive to money and food figures, so he can calculate military expenses very reliably.
