By the time Yiyin came to his senses, a lot of rewards had been issued, and the rest were just shrimps and millet, without the big ones.
Nobunaga was not at a loss this time. Most of the ones she sealed were Oda Nobuyuki's territories. Anyway, the person involved was no longer able to feel distressed.
Nobunaga took the big head, and his subordinate took the small head. The warrior Ji below tasted the foam, and the chief minister was very happy.
The one who took the biggest prize was naturally Nobunaga's direct leader. The previous generation Oda Nobuhide left a lot of territory for Nobuyuki. This time Nobunaga's direct leader increased by 10,000 koku, reaching 60,000 koku.
Next came the Maeda family and the Shiba family, who took 2,000 dan and 1,500 dan respectively, and the rest divided up nearly 10,000 dan.
Nobunaga also spent a lot of money to show it to the warriors at home. If you follow me, you will have meat to eat. The direct collar in his hand is less than a quarter of the entire territory.
This is a very dangerous number. Although she has a high reputation, the next governor will be under greater pressure than she will be if he succeeds to the throne.
However, it is impossible for her to just hang around guarding the 270,000 stone territory, and there will be no peace next year.
As night fell, the review came to an end. Amidst the praises and praises, Nobunaga waved with satisfaction to signal the end of the meeting.
Yiyin was a little panicked because he was hungry. It was his first time to participate in the review and he didn't expect it would take so long. Yiyi was too absent-minded today and didn't remind him to relieve his hunger.
"Benefit, find a place to eat something first?"
After leaving the castle tower, Yoshigami was so hungry that he temporarily forgot about the troubles of Mount Okehazama, and only wanted to fill his stomach.
He glanced at the Maeda people who disappeared into the night, and everyone in the Toishi family looked solemn.
"I... don't want to eat... Sir, I won't go back today. Please be careful on your way."
Yiyin looked at her speechlessly, no matter what, I am now the lord of three thousand stones. I don't even have a follower when I go out. Even if there is no danger, I don't want to lose face.
The territory of ten thousand stones can be called a great name. Even if you go to the Ashikaga Shogun's official residence, even if you go to the small daimyo of Wanshi, you have to find a corner in the room for you to sit.
This shows that although your territory is small and I look down on you, you are qualified to sit here and hold meetings.
Yoshigan Shiba is now the three thousand stone lord of the Oda family. He is a big man. The ashigaru family has been wiped out. There is only one Hime samurai under his command and he still doesn't understand the rules. Life is too hard.
"You, don't go. Some things have already been decided by Mr. Nobunaga. You can't change anything except being miserable together in the past. It's meaningless."
Yiyin sighed as he grabbed the interest that wanted to leave.
Pulling the Maeda family into the Naomi Regiment was Nobunaga's move to expand his power, and establishing his direct lineage, Maeda Toshiie, as his young master was an indispensable step.
Otherwise, how could the suspicious Nobunaga believe in the loyalty of the Maeda family. Li Chang understands this, and so do the Lijiuli sisters. There is no room for negotiation on this matter.
"But, my mother, I'm so pitiful. She just wants to be a good warrior."
Li Yi smiled sadly, unlike her usual self.
"That's the way this world is. Let's go, Li Yi, and accompany me to the bar in the castle town for something to eat."
Yiyin wanted to pull her away, but he didn't.
"I'm sorry, Lord Yiyin, I still want to take a look."
After breaking away from Yoshiyin, Benefit ran towards the direction where the Maeda crowd disappeared without looking back. Yiyin staggered as he was thrown away and rubbed his temples helplessly.
"This idiot."
Yiyin followed and walked over, wondering if there were any stalls on the road to buy something to eat. He was really hungry.
The Maeda family stayed at a residence in the castle town. Many people came to the house this time, and the Toshi family's small shabby house would definitely not be able to accommodate them.
There are some temporary residences rented out to foreign warriors in the castle town, and the Maeda family rented one of them.
However, depending on Nobunaga's support, the Maeda family should soon have a residence in the city.
It was already late at night, and Yiyin and Yili were not familiar with this area. When they found the place, they only saw Maeda Rihisa standing outside the door sadly.
"Mother!"
"Profit? Why are you here?"
She was surprised to see Benefit appear here, and then saw Yiyin behind her.
"I'm fine, Emperor Yiyin, why are you here?"
"Benefit is very worried about you, um... This is not a place to talk. Is there a place to eat nearby? Everyone must be hungry, right?"
When Riku saw Yi Gin rubbing his belly and frowning, he raised his delicate brows and said with a pretty smile.
"There is a wine shop not far from here. I will lead the way. For your benefit, you must serve the master well. There is no reason to starve the master for your sake."
He mentioned some benefits and walked in front to lead the way. His graceful back flickered, showing no trace of sadness at all.
Yiyin looked at Li Yi with a sad face and shook his head. After all, Sister Yu has seen the world, and she was able to keep her composure even when being chased and released, which makes a newbie like Yi Yi very easy to learn.
Sure enough, it wasn't far away. After a few steps and around the corner, I saw a brightly lit roadside tavern.
The wine shop was at its best at night, and Yiyin didn't want to meet Samurai Ji and have to socialize again, so he asked the proprietress to take him to a small room.
Serve a pot of sake, two appetizers, and some rice. He closed the door and invited mother and daughter to eat together.
He was minding his own meal, but the two people sitting across from him were not thinking about it, and the bowls and chopsticks remained untouched.
"Mother, were you ready to go out just now?"
He pondered the words and asked carefully.
"Pfft, just say what you want to say. It's not like you to ask this at all. I have been released. Mother ordered me to go home overnight, pack my things and leave early."
Riku said, pouring himself a glass of wine. Although she looks calm on the outside, she may not be calm on the inside.
"Grandma, you've gone too far! As for driving you away overnight!"
Benefit was filled with indignation when he heard it, and he wished he could go to the theory now.
"Since Lord Nobunaga has given the order, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. Lord Maeda Toshishima is a sensible person, and there must be a reason for doing this."
Yiyin agreed with Li Chang's approach, and Li Jiu himself nodded.
"The Maeda family has just acquired two thousand shi from the Lin family. No one dares to say anything with His Highness in charge, but there are many people watching from behind, so we must be more careful when doing things."
After Oda Nobuyuki died, his territory was naturally divided at will. But the Lin family is still there, so you took the things from the previous master's house and went to another Ming master. On the surface, no one objects, but secretly there are many who are jealous.
Li Chang now needs to carefully protect the fruits of victory, stay tight and do things steadily.
"Anyway, you always have a lot of truth, I can't say anything about you."
Yi Yi lowered his head in frustration and continued to ask.
"What are you going to do next, Mother?"
"I'm going to go back to Huangzi City to tidy up and go to Kyoto to try my luck. The past few years have been uneven, so I want to broaden my horizons and look for opportunities."
Rijiu took a sip of wine and said calmly.
"Then I'll go with you!"
The interests are stated categorically.
Hey hey, am I still here? Yiyin looked at her in confusion. Is this kid mentally ill?
"What nonsense! Now that you have become a member of the Shiba family, and this time you have obtained military honors by decapitating two levels, you should serve the family wholeheartedly. How can you be such a nonsense!"
Compared to Yi Gin who was confused, Rijiu slapped the table and jumped up.
"But my mother is traveling alone, and I really can't worry about it. When I became an official in the Shiba family, I made an agreement with Yiyin, and I can leave at any time. Isn't that right, sir?"
"right.."
Yiyin rolled his eyes. I’ve only heard of people whose families have fallen into ruin and run away. As a potential stock like me in the rising period, as the only general in the family, shouldn’t you perform well and make a career for yourself?
"Mother, look..."
"Snapped!"
Li Yi happily turned around to talk to Lijiu, but before he could finish speaking, he smacked his lips.
"Profit! You have grown up! Can you be more mature!"
With tears in his eyes, Riku drank another glass of wine. Before she knew it, she had almost finished the bottle of wine.
Li Jiu touched his beaten face and looked at Lijiu with tears in his eyes.
"But Mother, it's so painful. It's obvious that you are just loyal to your duty, it's obviously the master's order, it's obviously the Li family that tempted Li Chang to do the betrayal!"
"Shut up! That's your grandmother and aunt! Who allowed you to call them by their first names!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with tears. A traditional warrior who was carved out of a mold and believed in loyalty and principles, but in this troubled world, his face was slapped and swollen.
"Actually, there are other ways."
Looking at the two women standing and pushing the cows, Yiyin sat down and said weakly.
"Lord Yiyin, do you have any idea?"
Li Yi looked at Yiyin with tears in his eyes.
"You are my retainer this time and are not within the scope of His Majesty Oda's rewards. I have not yet rewarded you for your service. What do you think of the 1,500 stone Tomoyuki from Mount Ozazama?"
Yiyin suddenly thought of a good idea.
"Oh, is this a new territory granted to you by His Highness Oda? Do you want to give me Zhixing? How much can I have?"
"1,500 koku on Mount Barrel and Hazama."
"I know, I asked how much was given to me!"
"1,500 koku on Mount Okezama!"
"..."
Yiyi was dumbfounded, and Lijiu on the side also looked at Yiyin in shock and couldn't help but ask.
"Lord Yiyin, what do you mean, all 1,500 Shi Zhixing will be given to profit?"
"right."
