Yoshigami glanced at Todo Tougao lightly, and she couldn't help but tremble as she fell to the ground.
The governor's power was growing day by day. Just sitting there without saying a word, he felt a sense of oppression. No wonder the little girl panicked.
Afraid of causing his lord's dissatisfaction, Todo Toradaka quickly explained.
"This is the child of the head family of Ishida Village, Sakata County. She has admired His Highness for a long time. When she heard that I came to see you, she insisted on asking me to recommend her to a job.
I wanted to make it clear to His Highness just now, but she was being clever and this farce happened. "
Yiyin raised his eyebrows and looked at the immature girl with a depressed look.
She has delicate features and a pair of water-cut eyes, so watery that she looks like she can talk. She is a beautiful woman, with a hint of youthfulness that has yet to bloom.
"May I have your name."
"Ishida Mitsunari has met Lord Kenshin. Your Highness is well."
Yiyin asked.
"How did you come up with this? What does it mean to serve me with cold water?"
Ishida Mitsunari wrinkled his nose and twitched a few times, still a little unconvinced, but his attitude did not dare to be disrespectful and replied.
"You came here on horseback just now and your mouth is dry. I will serve you herbal tea.
One cup is enough to quench your thirst. Drink more cold tea to avoid physical discomfort. Use warm tea for the second cup.
After two cups, your thirst has been quenched, and hot tea is served to you again. "
The little girl still felt a little aggrieved in her words. This must be a trick she thought up carefully to attract the attention of Yiyin so that she can smoothly start her career.
Who would have thought that as soon as the herbal tea was served, Yi Yin sprinkled it aside, disrupting her rhythm. As a result, she was embarrassed on the spot, and she felt like dying at this moment.
Yiyin said, dumbfounded.
"The Wu family has its own set of rules for etiquette, and no one can use herbal tea.
Not to mention that it is not advisable to drink cold water after strenuous exercise. Even if it is feasible, it cannot ruin the tea art and hospitality. "
Yiyin probably understood what was going on.
This girl was trying to get his attention by trying to get his attention so that she could successfully start her career, but her method was completely wrong.
Yoshiun was born in the Shiba clan. Although it has been in decline for a long time, the etiquette professor in the family has never been left behind.
The Wu family values respect and inferiority, and there is a distinction between superior and inferior in doing things, and there are many taboos in dealing with others.
This is the demeanor that distinguishes the upper and lower classes, and it is a cultural barrier that denigrates the untouchables of the lower classes.
What happened just now, if the person serving tea was a high-ranking martial artist, his mistake would have been enough to get him whipped ten times as a warning to others.
The reason why aristocratic etiquette takes a lot of time and energy to learn is because the people at the bottom have no conditions to learn and get in touch with them, so that they can use it to look down on them and enhance their own sense of superiority.
Ishida Mitsunari was born into a village head family. She came from a low-level samurai family and naturally did not understand these etiquette. The method she came up with was as ridiculous as a farmer imagining a general plowing the land with a golden hoe.
In the eyes of those from the Wu family who were not high-born, her actions were indeed impressive and smart.
But when meeting the third-in-command leader Shiba Yiyin, it immediately became a rude act.
Serving tea is not like playing monkey, Yiyin is not a monkey, he understands the rules.
Ishida Mitsunari was thoughtful after hearing Yoshiyin's words.
Yiyin nodded secretly. This girl was indeed smart, but a little stubborn and lacked quick wit when she got into trouble.
He glanced at Toudo Toraka who was standing aside, but he was very satisfied with her.
She brought Ishida Mitsunari from her home in Sakata County and recommended her to serve as an official.
Regardless of the level of this girl's warrior princess, it at least shows that the Toudo family's tentacles have extended into Sakata County, one of the three oldest counties of the Asai family.
This time, Rokkaku and Isshiki's two families attacked the Asai family, focusing on the east bank of Lake Biwa.
The Asai family is newly attached to one of the three counties. There is no need to worry about Takashima County on the west coast for the time being.
Aichi County on the east coast faces the Rokkaku family, Inugami County is located within it, and Sakata County behind it is the target of the Mino Isshiki family.
Todo Tora Gaojun is not weak at all, so he naturally knows the harm of being attacked from both sides.
The purpose of her win over the samurai families of Sakata County was to achieve a tacit understanding among the samurai families of Kitaomi County, so as to better respond to the two offensives.
The Todo family is an old samurai family in Kitaomi, and their connections in the local area are intricate. In the past, it was because of a low family status, connections but no status, and no way to use any means.
Now that he has the status of an imperial family member, an important minister of the Shiba branch, and the name of Wanshi, everything is different.
She was able to interact with the locals in Sakata County, which was called a close relationship. It was too late for the other party to be grateful, so how could she turn them away.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the war, not only did he have close ties with various families in Inugami County and Aichi County, but he also extended his hand into Sakata County, the traditional territory of the Asai family.
Yiyin admires this approach of using force to expand its influence in the name of righteousness.
Todo Tora is tall, cunning, and knows how to play.
The retainer was so capable that he also wanted to lend a hand and ask her about it.
"What is Ishida Mitsunari good at?"
The dejected Ishida Mitsunari raised his head in surprise, his eyes looking at Toudo Tougao with expectation, like a nestling bird waiting to be fed.
Todo Toragao couldn't help but shake his head. This girl is too young and can't hold back her anger.
The master obviously wanted to take her in, support the Todo family, and sell favors to the samurai family in Sakata County.
Shiba Yoshigan's current status is extraordinary, and Ishida Mitsunari has become his retainer. Even just being close to Hatamoto is enough to make the Ishida family grateful.
Her family is just a landowner. If Ishida Mitsunari succeeds in serving the Yoshiyin family, she will have the opportunity to improve her family status and expand her family business.
Yiyin's move to promote a family was based on the old idea of borrowing thousands of gold to buy horse bones, which would greatly increase the attraction of the Shiba family to the samurai families in Sakata County.
Which family doesn't have a few extra daughters, and the family fortune is too weak to withstand division. The future of these Ji warriors is also a matter of concern to every family.
Sibo Yiyin is famous for his generosity, his reward for justice, and his fairness and strictness.
He is willing to accept Ishida Mitsunari, and other samurai families will also look forward to it, which will be of great benefit to Toudo Torakaka's relationship with the samurai family of Sakata County.
Tora Tora glanced at the expectant Ishida Mitsunari and said.
"This child has been smart since he was a child. He has already performed well after serving in the Yuan Dynasty. He is good at managing logistics and military supplies, and is also good at domestic affairs."
Yiyin was a little surprised after hearing this.
He thought Toudo Toraka simply recommended Ishida Mitsunari to him because he wanted to win over the samurai family of Sakata County.
Who knows that she really put her heart into it, and this girl is really suitable for Yiyin to take to Kanto.
Yiyin is going to Kanto, and there are many elite Ji warriors around him. Xingsheng in Tongxinzhongbitou Mountain is even more brave and good at fighting.
But fighting is all about logistics.
In recent battles, it was Nizi Shengjiu who took care of military supplies and logistics for him, and after the war, Nizi Shengjiu managed the general affairs of the territory for him.
When he went to Kanto, Nizi Shengjiu couldn't get away in the near future. Who would take care of the logistics during the war? Who will sort out the internal affairs of the new collar after the war?
Although you can recruit people with lofty ideals in Kanto, you can't go wrong if you have a knowledgeable Ji warrior from nearby areas to keep an eye on them.
The girl's current immaturity can be trained, and it has nothing to do with the Kanto martial arts family. If you have experienced it, you can use it with confidence.
It was indeed quite clever for Tōdō Toraka to think of this and share his worries, and Yoshigami couldn't help but nod.
"Well done, Fujido-hime."
Todo Togao was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained calm. He kowtowed to the ground and said calmly.
"It is my duty to share the Lord's worries."
The Lord has gone to Guandong, apparently to do some work. Regardless of success or failure, he will not be back in a short time.
The Todo family was alone in Omi, not bordering the Shiba family's territory.
The two families of Asai Rokkaku are fighting, and the Mino direction is also ready to move. There is no telling whether the Todo leader will be gone one day.
She made suggestions and contributions to Shiba Yigen, aiming to strengthen the Lord's favor towards the Toudo family.
As long as Ishida Mitsunari is hanging around under Yoshigan's nose, Shiba Yoshigan will remember the goodness of the Toudo family and know that she worked hard for the Shiba family in Omi.
Even if the Todo family loses all its territory in the future, as long as Jane is in the king's heart, there will be a chance to turn around.
After the last war in Noragada, she hesitated to place a bet. Fortunately, her daughter clamored to follow her to Kyoto, and the Todo family became what it is today.
This time when the Lord went to Kanto, she bet that Shiba Yiyin's military fortune would be prosperous, and the Todo family followed closely and became prosperous.
After wasting half his life and seeing through the bleak world, Toudo Torakaka was determined this time and put all his chips on Shiba Yoshigan.
