"Wait! Aju, what did you just say?" Kiragi, who was eating pastries, seemed to hear a familiar name. He turned his head and asked, "Did you just say that Hu Ji told you?"
A'Ju nodded matter-of-factly and said: "Yes! Princess Hu Ji told A'Ju that she regretted her recklessness, but she also expressed her unforgivability for His Highness's bad behavior!"
"Huh? When did you and Torahime become..." Kira Yoshi wanted to express it in another word, but he couldn't express it clearly. He held it in for a long time before he said: "Become close friends?"
"My close friend?" Aju tilted her head and thought for a long time, then said with enlightenment: "What a very good description! It's like handkerchief intercourse! Your Highness is really amazing!"
Mochizuki Chiyome shook her two ponytails and echoed: "Yes! Your Highness can always say a lot of things that Chiyome can't understand... the most powerful!"
"Hey! Don't bring up the topic. I think Aju should answer my question first!" Kira Yoshi was unable to complain in words about Aju's often off-line temper. As for that idiot Loli, she completely gave up on treatment.
plan.
"Yes! When we were still in Kyoto, Aju and Princess Tora were already close friends! In the past few months, when His Highness led the samurai on eagle hunting, Aju would make many delicious dishes.
The cakes are for Princess Hu Ji, and of course A Xu and the others also share in it!"
"Woo! I want to eat too! It's so painful for Chiyome not to eat!" She was so stupid that there were tears in her big eyes. She blinked and looked at Aju pitifully. Soon, Aju touched her head tenderly.
He reassured her: "Don't worry, the missing share will definitely be made up for by Chiyome!"
The idiot Loli burst into laughter immediately. She hugged Aju and cheered happily: "Okay, okay! Chiyoda likes sister Aju the most!"
"Asshole! I didn't even know that the maid who had been hiding beside me was so powerful!" Kira Yoshi suddenly regretted whether he paid too little attention to his own life and was not living for himself every day.
, it’s very hard and boring, even the maid who has taken care of him for more than ten years doesn’t understand him, and he is considered a failure in life.
"What is your Highness talking about? Why can't Aju understand?"
"That's right! Chiyome doesn't understand either!" Two people, one large and one small, stared at him with question marks on their heads.
"It's nothing..." Instantly expelling all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Kira Yoshi said: "I think Aju should bravely shoulder the responsibility of smoothing the relationship between me and Hu Ji. Right?"
"A'Ju probably understands what His Highness means!" A'Ju readily agreed without much thought this time, clasped her hands and said, "As long as His Highness and Princess Hu Ji get along well, it will be perfect!"
"Then please!"
While the chaotic post-disaster reconstruction work was going on, the March assessment meeting was held as scheduled. This was a bimonthly assessment. It was different from ordinary assessment meetings. All Echigo people had to attend except for special circumstances. At this time, Kasugayama Castle
Hundreds of warriors sat on both sides of the large room, with serious and even slightly hostile expressions on both sides.
"The long-tailed bomb has arrived at the main hall!"
"Kirara Takeshi has arrived!"
Two people's names were sung almost at the same time. Hundreds of warriors in the dark hall all leaned down on the ground. The long-tailed Kagetora in a white monk's robe held a rosary. His waist and hips were shining, and he strode to the main seat and sat down, and
When Kiragi followed behind him, he was wearing a white hunting coat, a black hat on his head, and holding a bat fan. Except for not applying powder, shaving his eyebrows, and blackening his teeth, he looked like a decadent minister from Kyoto and a member of the martial arts family.
Kira Yoshitoki is sitting cross-legged next to Nagao Kagetora, and the two are sitting side by side. Nagao Kagetora's side sitting on the left is all samurai from Echigo, while Kira Yoshitoki's side sitting on the right is Rishi.
Those who were supposed to be there were samurai from Mikawa, Omi and even the shogunate. Since the two sides came to Ohiroma, they had neither whispered to each other nor greeted each other. They were as cold as a piece of ice that had never melted for thousands of years.
A samurai warrior named Nagao Kagetora approached and said loudly: "The evaluation meeting has begun. Please let me know if you have anything to say."
As the chief administrative officer of the Kira family, Hosokawa Fujitaka immediately stood up and said loudly: "Report to the main hall of Nagao! The post-earthquake statistics have been completed. A total of 2,930 houses were damaged due to the earthquake in the seven prefectures of Echigo.
Six rooms, 285 people died, 3,442 were injured, and nearly 10,000 people were homeless. More than 50% of them received assistance from local lords and are rebuilding their houses, and the other 50% have already started to rebuild their houses.
He was taken to a temporary resettlement site near Naojiangjin."
"Temporary resettlement site..." Nagao Kagetora was not used to this new word, so he repeated a few words in a low voice, and then asked: "How is it there?"
"Everything is normal. While rebuilding after the disaster, we have also formulated a set of renovation plans to strengthen public security, fire protection, and sanitation. We will first conduct pilot projects in Kasugayama Castle Town, Naoji Port and temporary resettlement sites. It is estimated that an investment of 2,500 kan Yongle money will be invested.
The construction period is about four months, and it is mainly used to improve the unreasonable layout of the houses in the town, which brings inconvenience to fire rescue and public security management. It also improves drainage facilities and adds culverts to reduce the adverse impact of water damage on the town."
"There are many roads there!" Nagao Kagetora was already dizzy from hearing a lot of words he had never heard before and had no idea what they meant. He could only look sideways at Kiragi, who nodded and said, "Futaka did it."
That's good. Let's list out the project schedule and the schedule for various facility renovations as soon as possible, and collect the general draft as soon as possible. Don't worry about food."
"Yes!" Hosokawa Fujitaka continued: "The general recruitment is expected to recruit two thousand people, and we need the cooperation of everyone in Echigo..."
"Wait a minute, I have something to say!" Hojo Takahiro suddenly jumped out and yelled: "Don't worry about food. This is the time when there is a shortage of food. Even we samurai don't have much food left in our hands. My Nagao family
How can there be so much extra food to feed these untouchables? Don’t you think so?"
"Yes! How can there be so much surplus food!" Some samurai actually joined in, which made many samurai present feel dissatisfied. Important ministers including Honjō Minano and Nakajo Fujishi all frowned and cursed secretly:
"This stupid and reckless wild boar is really looking for trouble."
Seeing a large number of people from the Echigo country speaking in agreement, Hojo Takahiro said proudly: "See? None of you have any surplus grain in your hands. Presumably the lord doesn't have much surplus grain in his hands either. It will take several months to feed five thousand people."
How much food, how much food does it take to levy a general service of 2,000 people? Don’t think that I don’t know, I have served as the acting magistrate of Kashiwazaki Port!”
When he saw Kiragi, he didn't speak, thinking that he was speechless because of the question, so he further said: "Are you speechless? How could a nobleman from Kyoto know our Echigo customs? Are you going to make random comments?
Being laughed at by us country warriors."
"Hahaha……"
"Looking for death!" Watanabe Takazuna, who had been patient for a long time, could no longer hold back and jumped out. He drew out the sword from his waist and slashed at it without a word. Hojo Takahiro was not a vegetarian either. He saw a mighty and majestic sword jumping out of the Kira family.
The big man also retreated and drew his sword to confront him. Speaking of Watanabe Takazuna's swordsmanship, it was above average. Of course, Hojo Takahiro opposite was not a swordsman, and the two of them could not do anything to his opponent with several slashes.
But when the Echigo samurai saw that the opponent dared to attack openly, he couldn't help but jump up and draw out his sword. The samurai of the Kira family also made the same move. For a while, the sword was flashing in the vast room, and when Kira Yi
Reminds me of the farce that happened when I was still in Sanhe a few years ago.
"That's enough! Stop everyone!" Nagao Kagetora was furious and shouted: "Where is Koheiji? Capture these people!"
"Yes!" Teams of samurai rushed in, and without saying a word, they detained all the samurai who drew their swords. After Kira Yoshishi shook his head as a hint, the samurai of Mikawa cooperated and put away their weapons and waited for processing, while Takahiro Hojo said
Bian was still not convinced, cursing and unwilling to stop.
Hojo Takahiro yelled angrily: "Why are you arresting me! What did I say wrong? Let me go!"
"How dare you talk back!" Nagao Kage kicked Hojo Takahiro down, and several samurai went up to capture him. The Echigo samurai in the hall seemed to realize the power of Nagao's Konoe Hatamoto, and they all put down their weapons.
Capture him without hesitation.
Nagao Kagetora was obviously very angry, and immediately ordered: "From today on, when entering the main crank gate of Kasugayama Castle, all weapons must be removed. No bows, arrows, swords or guns are allowed to be brought in!"
"yes!"
"Takahiro Hojo, pull me down!"
Hojo Takahiro struggled and shouted: "I'm not wrong! Why should you punish me! I don't accept it!"
"You still don't accept it!" Nagao Kagetora wanted to kill him with a knife, and cursed angrily: "Do you know who you are contradicting? His Royal Highness Kōkata's royal family, the family governor of the Ashikaga family, and the world-famous Lord Wuwei! I, Nagao
Kagetora’s brother-in-law! You unreasonable idiot, do you think that the Takeideon family has no food for disaster relief? It took several months to purchase soybeans and tea seeds in exchange for grain in Echigo, all of which were paid for by the Takeideon family personally!”
"...How could this happen?" Hojo Takahiro's face turned green and white. Now not only the samurai of the Kira family were full of contempt for him, but even the people of Echigo no longer sympathized with him. They would not offend anyone.
If you mess with this dragon across the river, you will lose face and status now, so how will you be able to see others in the future?
Just when people thought the turmoil was about to end, another unwilling person suddenly jumped out and shouted: "My farmers in Echigo cannot accept charity from Kyoto! Let them return to work in their own territories, and we will own the houses."
To solve it, we don’t need the nobles from Kyoto to give us alms at all!”
When Nagao Kagetora saw this person, he got a headache and scolded: "Chiyo Inomaru! Sit back! Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Honjo Shigenaga shouted with his head held high: "Our Echigo samurai are not so short of food even if they are short of food. We can still take over the victims if we share a little. Why should we accept the nobles of Kyoto?"
We are so poor in Echigo that we even need food from others for charity? Do you think what I said is right?"
"Yes! No matter how poor we are in Echigo, we will never lack this little food!" At this moment, the crowd was excited, and no one was willing to admit that they wanted to give alms. After all, the reputation was too bad. Isn't there a saying that people who are poor are not poor but have ambitions? Echigo
The Chinese people are this kind of people.
At this time, even Honjo Minoru, who had changed his mind, stopped talking. At this point, the issue of post-disaster rescue had obviously been raised to the level of local and foreign. As a highly respected veteran hero of Echigo, Honjo Minoru was not in a good position. He spoke rashly. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster!
