Takeda Shingen wanted to talk to Kosaka Masanobu about his long-awaited relationship, but he had just gotten up and was interrupted by Reina who woke up before he could get wet.
Facing Reina who was making trouble, Takeda Shingen could only give his lover an apologetic smile, turned around, picked up his sweetheart, and coaxed him affectionately.
Kosaka Masanobu tidied up the clothes that had been torn apart by Takeda Shingen just now, and smiled at Rena, who was looking at her with a curious face.
This year, Shinano Country became a little uneasy, so Takeda Shingen sent Kosaka Masanobu to Hokushin to help her with a few things.
Kosaka Masanobu had just come back when he was called into the residence hall by Takeda Shingen to relieve his lovesickness. However, he met Reina and made a scene, interrupting their good night.
It's really a new generation replacing the old. Takeda Shingen's thoughts are now on Reina, and Kosaka Masanobu also has to step aside.
It has been two years since Suruga invaded and captured Sunfu Castle and Takeda Shingen gave birth to Reina.
This devil is two years old. The child finally sprouted consciousness from the hazy state. With the concept of me, he transformed into a little devil and became more and more noisy.
But Rena's child is particularly smart and lovable. She has an outstanding appearance and is very lovable. I don't know if it is because of the genes of men from other worlds, but she is also much stronger than ordinary children.
The more noisy she was, the more Takeda Shingen liked her, and even the Takeda retainers had some complicated emotions towards this precocious young master.
In the view of the superstitious bloodline samurai family, Takeda Rena should have been so good.
Because the source of her bloodline is that extraordinary man from the martial arts family. If Reina were just mediocre, she would be a disappointment to everyone.
For two years, everything was calm for Shiba Yoshigan, and it seemed that Rena's life experience was not discovered. Seeing Rena's extraordinary qualities, some retainers in the Takeda family were moved.
It would not be bad if the Takeda family could have this heir with noble blood inherit the family business.
As people's hearts changed, Takeda Shingen gradually calmed down and did not need to be constantly vigilant about the cold arrows coming from behind, which would kill her beloved Reina.
Reina whined that she was hungry, so Takeda Shingen tore half of the pastry and gave it to her. As a result, the child cried even harder and insisted on eating the whole pastry.
When Takeda Shingen was so pampered that he handed the whole thing to her, she cried and asked for the half snack to be intact before she would eat it.
The two- or three-year-old little devil never makes sense. Even if he is as wise as Takeda Shingen, he cannot understand her divine logic. He can only coax and lie. It is really hard to raise a child.
Kosaka Masanobu looked at Takeda Shingen's embarrassment and couldn't help but chuckle.
Takeda Shingen turned around and glared at her, then simply put the crying Reina into her arms and shouted.
"Are you kidding me? Let me give you a taste of how powerful this little girl is!"
A small baby was stuffed into Kosaka Masanobu's arms, and he was immediately at a loss. He subconsciously picked up a small snack, but he didn't know how to comfort the child.
But Takeda Shingen let out a sigh, and was stunned to find that Reina stopped crying and looked at Kosaka Masanobu with her big watery eyes. The child actually stopped making trouble.
Kosaka Masanobu and Reina looked at each other, and a sudden warmth surged in their hearts.
Back in Yantian City, she followed Takeda Shingen around and ate the leftovers of Yoshiyin. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Takeda Shingen became pregnant, but there was still no movement in her belly.
In the past few years, she seemed to have the shadow of that boy in her heart, and she began to resist the relationship. On the surface, she said she was reluctant to leave Takeda Shingen, but only she knew who she was thinking about.
Now a chubby female doll was sitting in her arms. Thinking that this child was the result of the two people she loved, Kosaka Masanobu couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if this was her child.
Reina also seemed to like Kosaka Masanobu very much. She took the snack from her and started to nibble it in her arms. It was not easy for her baby teeth to grow out just now.
Takeda Shingen's eyes were about to pop out, and he was even a little jealous and said jealously.
"What a heartless girl. Who is her biological mother if you bother me or not? I don't want to raise her anymore, so I might as well give it to you!"
Seeing Takeda Shingen's depressed look, Kosaka Masanobu couldn't help but laugh. His smile spread like a fairy's, and Takeda Shingen was stunned when he saw him.
Takeda Shingen was stunned for a long time, then he simply stepped forward and kissed each other. Kosaka Masanobu held the child and did not dare to move, so he could only yell.
"My lord! The child is watching!"
Takeda Shingen curled his lips, stretched out, and a pair of huge things on his chest that had grown stronger from feeding the child suddenly trembled three times.
"Just watch, what do children of this age know?"
Reina looked at her mother, then at Kousaka Masanobu, then suddenly threw away the snack, and held Kousaka Masanobu's face and gave it a pop, which made Takeda Shingen happy.
"You know how to steal women from me at a young age? You have a bright future."
Kosaka Masanobu really couldn't stand Takeda Shingen's uncontrollable dirty talk and shook his head silently.
Since the two of them did the shameful thing to Shiba Yoshigan together, Takeda Shingen seems to have become closer to her and treats her less and less like an outsider.
The intimate words spoken when alone are becoming more and more shocking, there are really no taboos.
Seeing the cute and blushing look of the beauty Kousaka Masanobu, Takeda Shingen finally took pity on her and picked up Reina, allowing Kousaka Masanobu to adjust his clothes and hide his shyness.
Reina was unwilling to leave, so she pushed her own mother away with her hands and feet. Takeda Shingen smiled and twisted her into a ball. The child's body was as soft as dough, and she had a great time playing.
Takeda Shingen asked while teasing the child.
"Is everything done?"
When Kosaka Masanobu heard her talk about business, he suddenly became serious and nodded.
"It's all done."
Takeda Shingen sent Kosaka Masanobu to Hokushin mainly to let this confidant handle three matters.
The first is to clean up the mess caused by the unauthorized mobilization of Eastern believers and threatening the West Ueno land.
Secondly, it was to appease the Shinano people who were dissatisfied because they had lost the cheap supplies from Zenkoji Ping and the cost of living had become higher.
Third, a special envoy was sent from Hokushin to Echigo, hoping to start negotiations with Echigo and break the deadlock in which the two sides were gradually alienated and hostile.
Kosaka Masanobu did live up to Takeda Shingen's trust and did all three things well, she said.
"My lord, the matter of the Eastern Believers has been investigated clearly. It was Yantian City's Anzhi Xueshan who took the initiative and mobilized the Eastern Believers."
Takeda Shingen sneered.
"How can she be so brave alone?"
Kosaka Masanobu shook his head.
"She has a tough mouth and can resist everything on her own. But I heard that she has a close relationship with Yukiyuki Sanada, the heir to the Sanada family. This mistake may be related to the separation of the two Sanada families."
Takeda Shingen snorted.
"There is no simple guy in the Sanada family, so the two Sanadas split up? This is probably Yukitaka Sanada's last plan before his death.
Anji Anji, this idiot, I asked her to go to Dongshin Yantian City to supervise the local samurai family of Dongshin and Beishin to prevent others from causing trouble.
It's good for her, she was used as a gun, she was really stupid."
Kosaka Masanobu smiled bitterly.
"Anayama Anji is young after all. She has struggled for several years in Yantian City. She has watched Kaibi and others conquering the east and west, but she has nothing to accomplish. She is also depressed, so she is incited and exploited.
Although what he did was stupid, it was excusable."
Takeda Shingen glanced at Kosaka Masanobu and said.
"Excusable circumstances? When did you become so indecisive?
A fool is a fool. Even when she was about to die, she still wanted to protect Yukiyuki Sanada, and she resisted all responsibilities.
They have been betrayed by others, and they still want to help others cover up. What use is there for such idiots?"
Seeing the faint murderous intent in Takeda Shingen's tone, Kosaka Masashi was startled and advised.
"My lord, Anji Anji is the niece of Nobu-kun Anayama. Please think carefully about how to deal with her."
It stands to reason that if a supervisor like Anzhi Anzhi who is sent to a local area starts provocations, he must have his head chopped off as a warning to others.
However, the status of the Anayama family is different from that of the Takeda family. They are said to be a clan, but in fact they are a semi-independent force.
The territory of the Anayama family is close to Suruga country, and they played a large role in the Takeda family's invasion of Suruga. Nobu-kun Anayama was also entrusted with important tasks by Takeda Shingen, and now the situation in Suruga is suppressed.
It doesn't really matter whether Anzhi Aneshan is dead or not. But if it arouses Nobu-kun Aneshan's dissatisfaction, it will hinder the unity of the family and the gain will not be worth the loss.
The Kai Kingdom, where the Takeda family arose, only had a stone height of over 200,000. Takeda Shingen was extremely talented and led the Kai clan to conquer the Shinano Kingdom and the Suruga Kingdom. There was already some internal instability.
The Kai people regard themselves as conquerors, the Shinano people are numerous and powerful, the Suruga people are rich and proud, and Takeda Shingen has been trying his best to maintain the balance between the three parties.
Anji Anji, a member of the Kai samurai clan, was sent to Yantian City to supervise the Higashi believers in the Shinano clan, but he was severely tricked by Yukiyuki Sanada, a member of the Higashino clan.
If she loses her head because of this, what will Nobu-kun Anayama think? What will the Kaibi people think? It is unreasonable for the conquered to blame the conqueror!
Nobu-kun Anayama himself is in charge of the Suruga Kingdom. If she is not angry and tries to make amends with the Suruga people, Takeda Shingen will also have a headache.
Kosaka Masanobu was not speaking for Anji Aneyama, she was thinking about Takeda Shingen and did not want this matter to affect the harmony of the family.
Takeda Shingen shook his head. She seemed to have lost the determination she had back then. Her passion had calmed down after giving birth to Rena, and she seemed to have become an incompetent woman who only revolved around her children.
she sighed.
"Let her run away on her own and don't dirty my knife. I don't want to see her again in the future."
"Hi!"
Takeda Shingen asked again.
“How is the situation in Shinano?
After Zenkojidaira's supply of cheap supplies was cut off, Shinano has experienced several disasters. Is life there really that difficult?"
Kosaka Masanobu looked worried when he heard her talk about this.
"Master, as far as I know, the prices of cloth, salt, oil and other materials needed for daily life in Shinano have at least doubled."
Takeda Shingen narrowed his eyes and murmured.
"Is it that serious?"
Kosaka Masanobu sighed.
"Back then, Tsutadoden made an agreement with you that Naoetsu would specially transport a batch of cheap supplies to Zenkoji Ping, and the price would be 30% lower than the market price.
There is also free salt promised to my family, which is the most important material to stabilize prices.
But now?
The market in Naoetsu has replaced Sunpu Castle and become the largest commercial center in Kanto. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell things.
Instead of laboriously transporting it to the mountains where there is no oil and water and selling it to poor mountain people, why not sell it to various parts of Kanto, where you can make more money.
If it hadn't been for the imperial decree from Tsutaden in the past two years, which stipulated that the share must be shipped to Zenkojidaira, Naoetsu would have been unwilling to give us a bargain.
Now, with His Highness Uesugi's order to cut off the supply, Naoetsu is not only cut off from cheap supplies, but is also unwilling to engage in normal trade. The town and city of Zenkojidaira is in depression, with prices but no market.
What’s even more abominable is...”
Kosaka Masanobu hesitated to speak, looking at Takeda Shingen unable to speak.
Takeda Shingen said calmly.
"There is nothing we can't say between you and me, but it doesn't matter."
Kosaka Masanobu looked angry and said angrily.
"Echigo is actually not doing anything wrong. The agreement back then originally stipulated that when we take over Suruga Country, free salt and cheap supplies will be cancelled.
Although His Highness Uesugi terminated the agreement without authorization while Tsuta-dono was away from Kanto, from the moral point of view of keeping the promise, it was justified.
Suruga State-owned Tokaido's commercial center, Sunpu Castle, has several salt fields in Suruga Bay. It is confident that it can supply daily necessities to both Kai and Shinano countries, but the problem lies in these materials.
The materials imported from Sunpu Castle to Shinano Province are more than 50% more expensive than the materials imported from Naoetsu!
Without Naoetsu supplies that were 30% cheaper, Shinano locals could only buy Sunpu Castle supplies that were 50% higher in price to maintain their lives. They also lost free salt.
That’s why prices are rising day by day, and in less than a year, Shinano is overwhelmed.”
Takeda Shingen slowly touched Reina's little head, with a solemn expression on his face. Little Reina seemed to sense that something was wrong in the atmosphere and became well-behaved.
After thinking about it, Takeda Shingen exhaled and said.
"Masanobu, there's something I haven't had time to tell you yet. Anayayama Nobu-kun and Tokugawa Ieyasu are doing business."
Kosaka Masanobu looked at Takeda Shingen blankly, and Takeda Shingen shook his head and sighed.
"When you went to Hokushin, Xin Lian came to discuss with me. He mentioned that the Tokaido trade route was declining day by day, and he hoped to do some business cooperation with the Tokugawa family.
I didn't think much about it at the time, so I approved her plan and allowed Anayayama Nobu-kun and Tokugawa Ieyasu to reach some agreements on business issues.
Now it seems that I made things simple.
Anayama Nobu-kun probably started smuggling supplies with Tokugawa Ieyasu a long time ago, but she didn’t expect that even Xin Lian was dragged into the trap by her. It seems that he made a lot of money.”
Takeda Shingen spoke with a smile, but there was no trace of warmth in his eyes.
The territory of the Anayama family is on the border of Suruga Kingdom and Kai Kingdom, and Anayayama Nobu-kun is now in charge of Suruga Kingdom.
If she colluded with Tokugawa Ieyasu to import supplies to the Takeda family's territory, she would make a lot of money.
Life in the mountains lacks many supplies, such as salt and cloth, which must be obtained from outside the mountains. The Imagawa-Hojo family used this as a bargaining chip against the Takeda family.
It was also by giving cheap supplies and free salt that Yoshigan Shiba really made Takeda Shingen decide to fall out with the Imagawa Hojo family.
This shows the importance of materials outside the mountains to the lives of mountain people.
