The temporary financial crisis was successfully overcome. Kiragi, who had money in his hands, began to quietly select talents in Omi Province. Omi Province must be most famous for rice, and the second most famous is Buddhist temples and Mount Hiei extension.
Ryokuji Temple is the headquarters of the Tendai Sect, and the Beiling in the Nandu Beiling refers to this one. If you want to be ranked third, there may be different opinions. Let Kira Yoshitoki say, it must be talented.
In the future, a certain monkey will start his career from people close to Omi. Of course he will not forget this. As early as last year, he sent someone to do a detailed investigation. He basically informed Hattori of the talents that could be found in Omi. Hattori
The tasks at home were heavy, and Kira Yoshi never deliberately asked him to search for talents, and he could only find a few talents in a whole year.
In late January, when Hattori Yasuchō's report was delivered to Kira Yoshi's desk, it was discovered that the man was Toudō Toraka, a wealthy man from Omi Inugami County. This man's name is too easy to associate with him, Toudō Takataka, Toudō Takataka, we can only say that he is
The naming of this father is too untechnical, but it seems that there is still some distance before Toudo Takatora was born at this time. According to the investigation, Toudo Takatora currently only has his eldest son Toudo and Taro. This Taro is two years younger than Kira Yoshi.
The eldest daughter was the same age as Kira Yoshihiro and had not yet had haircuts.
To talk about Todo Torakaka, we must first mention that he was born in the Mitsui family, which is the famous Mitsui family in later generations. The origin of this Mitsui family is actually not bad. He comes from the famous Fujiwara Kita family, the sixth son of Fujiwara Michinaga, the minister of Kanbai Taizheng.
In the family lineage, the famous families that also came from the Fujiwara Naga family include the Omari Mikado family, the Miko Sasa family, the Reizumi family, and the Oe family, which was separated as a branch family like the Mitsui family.
Starting from Fujiwara Motada, the grandson of the Fujiwara clan, and passing on to the seventh generation Fujiwara Nobumi, two sons were divided into the Kada family and the Mitsui family. Among them, the Miao family name Mitsui was Mitsui Shinyao, the first ancestor of the Mitsui family.
, their family settled in Mitsui Township, Shiga County, Omi Province, so they got the Miao name Mitsui. From the beginning of Mitsui Shinyao, it was passed down to the Mitsui family for eleven generations to the generation of the family governor Mitsui Torakaka.
This Mitsui Toraka is the guy who is now named Toudaka. The tiger character in his name comes from the famous Nobutora Takeda. By the time the Mitsui family's position as head of the family was passed down to Mitsui Toraka's generation, it was already in decline.
In order to make a living, Mitsui Torakaka had no choice but to become a monk and be given to relatives. He left Omi and went to distant lands to wander. He wandered all the way to Kai, where he was valued by Takeda Nobutora and became a retainer.
Takeda Nobutora is famous for his fondness for guests. Tada Mitsurui, Hara Tora, Yokota Takamatsu and Mitsui Takatora are all nationals from outside Kai. Among them, Yokota Takamatsu and Mitsui Takatora are both from Omi Province, but they are from Omi Province.
After Takeda Nobutora was kicked out of the house by his son, Yokota Takamatsu chose to continue serving as an official, while Mitsui Takatora chose to return to his hometown to farm.
After returning to his hometown, Mitsui Toradaka found that his hometown was not as easy to get around as before. He wanted to go back to his place of origin but was embarrassed to disturb his relatives. Fortunately, he had been a retainer in Kai for nearly ten years and had considerable savings. Finally, he found a way to marry Inu.
He became the son-in-law and adopted son of the wealthy Todo family in Shangjun, and then he took root here for another ten years.
He also had to mention another branch of the Mitsui family, the one who received the Todo Tora Plateau family headship. To be more precise, this branch came from the Natzue family. The first two generations of the Mitsui family's governor, Mitsui Nojosada, had a daughter.
Married to another wealthy family in Omi, the Sasaki Natzue family, Natsue Takahisa. Natsue Takahisa was the lord of Natsue Castle in Aichi County, Omi Province. When he married the daughter of Mitsui Nojosada, the Mitsui family was still quite wealthy.
Therefore, Nagoe Takahisa asked his second son, Nagoe Minoru, who was born to the daughter of the Mitsui family, to leave and live with the Mitsui family in Mitsui Township, Shiga County. He also changed the Miao character to Mitsui as a branch of the Mitsui family.
One branch is also called the Sasaki Mitsui family, and the family crest is the four-eye knot of Uta Genji.
As a result, with the decline of the Mitsui family, Mitsui Torako ran away for nearly ten years. After returning, he became the son-in-law and adopted son of the Todo family. The Mitsui family's family crest was also replaced by the Todo family's family crest, Todo Tsuta.
Once the family came to Sasaki and Mitsui, they became a leading family. Under the painstaking management of this family, life in Mitsui Township was difficult, but at least they could still survive.
After the Sasaki Mitsui family obtained a clan leader, their relationship with the Nazue family in Aichi County became more and more distant, especially when the previous generation of the Nazue family died, and the son-in-law of the previous governor of the Nazue family, Gongqing Sanjo, was Ji's son.
After inheriting the Nazue family business, he became even closer to the Sasaki Mitsui family.
That’s why Mitsui Takayasu of the Mitsui family came into existence later. The two generations of Mitsui Takatoshi were dissolute for a long time due to the Omi War. It was not until the Mitsui Takatoshi era that they relied on the support of their relative Todo Takatora to gain a foothold in Edo and develop the behemoth Mitsui family.
Although Kira Yoshitoki didn't know much about the twists and turns, one thing he knew was that the Mitsui family was a native of Shiga County, and their territory was near Otsu, and the current governor of the Mitsui family was Mitsui Echigo Mori Yasutaka.
When he was the lord of Kowaki Castle in Shiga County and came to Sakamoto Castle several times to pay homage to Kiragi, this family had spent more than a year peacefully under his nose, and he didn't realize it was true.
fail.
Since he was marrying a wealthy family in the Kira family, Kira Yoshitoki was not polite and directly summoned Mitsui Yasutaka and asked: "Isn't Echigo Mamoru's legitimate son too young?"
Mitsui Yasutaka was stunned by the sudden question. After a while, he came back to his senses and said: "Uh... my legitimate son Katsuhachiro is only ten years old this year."
"Ten years old is not too young! Isn't my family only served at the age of ten? You can go back and serve for your legitimate son!" A few words sent the confused Mitsui Yasutaka back. In a few days, Mitsui Yasutaka will
He rushed to Sakamoto Castle with his son-in-law to express his gratitude. When Kira Yoshi came to see him, he found this boy who was one year younger than him. He had an ordinary appearance but a pair of bright and penetrating eyes, and he looked very smart.
"Is this the legitimate son of Echigo Mamoru? He is a good young man... What is your name?"
"Mitsui Shohachiro Takayasu! Meet the owner!" Mitsui Takayasu bowed respectfully, his movements were very standard and he didn't look like a ten-year-old child at all.
"Is it Mitsui Takayasu? That's right! What would you think if I recruited you to join the public?"
"Really?" Mitsui Takayasu's eyes lit up and he raised his head excitedly.
"Ahem! Katsuhachiro!" Yasutaka Mitsui reminded him quickly.
"Yes! I am willing to serve the owner of the hall."
Kira Yoshihi nodded and gave instructions to the outside world: "Touchang! Take Katsuhachiro down to familiarize yourself with the environment in the city."
"Yes!" Yamaoka Tokinaga pushed open the door and left with the trembling Mitsui Takayasu.
Kira Yoshishi looked at Mitsui Yasutaka and asked kindly: "I heard that Echigo Mamoru has a kinsman in Todo Village in Inugami County? It seems to be called Todo Toraoka, right?"
"I have a close relative who married into the Todo family and renamed it Todo Torakaka. Speaking of which, Torogaka is a direct descendant of the Mitsui family. Because the Hosokawa family's turmoil in the past few years was too difficult, he entrusted the family leader to me to live alone.
, until he returned to Omi ten years ago, stayed in the village for only a few nights, and then left without a trace. Later, the ministers heard that he had become the son-in-law and adopted son of his wife Todo's family." Mitsui Yasutaka said with emotion.
"Well, I heard that Todo Toradaka once served as an executive officer at Takeda Keishu for ten years? Do you know this?"
Mitsui Yasutaka shook his head to express his ignorance, and Kira Yoshitsune said to him: "Then, when Echigo Mamoru returns, he will contact Todo Torakaka and tell him that the family intends to let him serve as an official."
On the third day after the order was issued, a man named Toudo Toraka came to Sakamoto Castle. In the large hall of the castle tower, the middle-aged man wearing a starched white and slightly worn Wufu with a clean beard was Toudo.
Torakaka, the son-in-law and adopted son of the Todo family, was not having a good life. He hurried over after receiving a letter from fellow clan member Mitsui Yasutaka asking for help.
"What kind of duties does His Highness Todo-dono have under Takeda Keishou-don?"
"Reporting to His Majesty Sakamoto, I once served as the chief inspector of the inspection and was responsible for the inspection and administrative duties of the four prefectures of Kai." Toradaka replied cautiously.
"Hmm, then why do you want to come back? Is it because Suruga was exiled from Takeda Kyotoden? Yokota Takamatsu has always stayed in the Takeda family."
Tora Tora gave a bitter smile: "I am different from His Highness Takamatsu. As an executive officer, I was tabooed by the Takeda Daizen Palace, and... I am not afraid of His Highness Sakamoto's jokes. I really have no talent for the art of bow and horse, and I really don't want to be a foot soldier away from the center.
He died in an unknown place overnight, so I resigned from my post and returned to my hometown."
"Well, then you will go to the Todo family to become your son-in-law and adopted son, right? But I think your situation is not good either, right?"
"Because Iagoto Todo Tadaka has two daughters, and they were married to Taga Yoshinao and I, and I only got the inheritance rights of the Todo family, so..."
The last governor of the Todo family, Todo Tadaka, had no children, but two daughters were married to Taga Yoshinao and Mitsui Todaka respectively. Among them, the eldest daughter married Taga Yoshinao, who was born in the Utagen clan, and she married Mitsui.
The third daughter was the second daughter, so Taga Yoshinao, who was renamed Toudou Kabo, took the initiative and frequently oppressed his brother-in-law, Toudaka. Therefore, although Toudaka married into the Toudou family, his life was not very good.
"Oh, is this kind of thing happening again? Forget it, there's no need to worry about it so much. Now that you've become a member of the family, just take your family and move to Sakamoto Castle."
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness. I have one more request! Please grant me your permission!" Toraoka Todo said, "I have given up the inheritance rights of the Todo family, so I want to abandon the Miao name of Todo and change it back to the original Mitsui family name."
"Do you want to change back to Mitsui? Mitsui Toraka? It sounds good! I agree!" Yoshitoki Kira agreed without much thought.
