Three years of astronomy.
Omi.
Jinbang City.
Since Kyogoku Takamasa returned from Ise, there has been no war in Kinei.
Kyogoku Takamasa devoted all his attention to Ashigaru training, and the economic development within the Kyogoku clan was also proceeding in an orderly manner.
The castle town of Imahama Castle has now begun to take shape. Various commercial houses have sprung up in the castle town like mushrooms after a rain. Imahama Castle has become the economic center of Kitaomi.
At the same time, the development of Guoyou Village has also been quite effective. With the financial support of the Kyogoku family, craftsmen headed by Kunitomo and others have built more than ten workshops in Kunyu Village.
The leather that Kyogoku Takamasa snatched in Ise last year came in handy at this time. Dozens of armor makers used this batch of leather to make hundreds of sets of guzu and tamaru.
Kunimihebei and others also made various weapons for the Kyogoku family such as nodachi, tachi, and ribashi according to the request of Kyogoku Takamasa.
Nowadays, the Kyogoku family no longer needs to rely solely on procurement for the equipment they need, and some of the equipment can already be self-sufficient.
"Father, you look good today. Do you feel better physically?"
In the Kyogoku Hall of Imahama Castle, looking at Kyogoku Takahiro who was being supported by two people walking in the courtyard, Kyogoku Takamasa hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Seeing that it was Kyogoku Takamasa, Kyogoku Takahiro quickly called Kyogoku Takamasa to sit down on the stone bench nearby.
"My injury has almost healed after resting for more than half a year. I only have occasional signs of dizziness and headaches, but it's nothing serious."
"It's just that we have to rely on Saburo to take care of the government affairs in this family."
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded, "Don't worry, father, I will have retainers to help with the government affairs at home, so father can rest in peace and recover."
Of course, even if Kyogoku Takahiro was not injured, most of these things would require him and his retainers to worry about. Kyogoku Takahiro was really not much help.
"By the way, the governor, Hosokawa-den, sent someone to visit me a few days ago and gave me a lot of gifts. At some point, you can also send a retainer to Settsu to thank the governor-den on my behalf."
"Father, don't worry, I have already sent Yamazaki Saabei."
In the matter of Ise, the Kyogoku family has inherited the favor of the Hosokawa family. Even if there is no such thing as Hosokawa Harumoto sending someone to visit Kyogoku Takahiro, the Kyogoku family should send someone to visit based on the circumstances. Go and say thank you.
Moreover, the Hosokawa family is the one that the Kyogoku family finally got into, so they naturally need to manage this relationship well.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the protection of the Hosokawa family, the Kyogoku family will live a very prosperous life in recent areas.
"It has been eleven years since I succeeded the family governor. Although I have not made much achievements, I am fortunate that the Kyogoku family has been able to develop to its current level, and it is worthy of being worthy of all previous masters."
"Until this year, I was already thirty-six. I used to think that I was still young, but since this injury, I have thought about it a lot."
"Although my family is in the prime of life, the moon waxes and wanes, people have joys and sorrows, and there are not many surprises in life."
"My son is already seventeen this year and has been married for two years. It's time for my family to have a grandson. What do you think?"
Looking at Kyogoku Takahiro's half-smiling eyes, Kyogoku Takamasa's heart suddenly trembled.
Isn't it?
How could you have traveled through time and encountered this ridiculous thing of being "pushed" by your parents?
"Father, please be at ease. I must work hard to allow father and mother to have a grandson as soon as possible." Kyogoku Takamasa didn't know what to answer for a while, so he could only follow Kyogoku Takahiro's meaning.
boom!
With a crisp sound, Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly felt some pain on the top of his head.
Kyogoku Takahiro slowly took the folding fan from Kyogoku Takamasa's head, and then said with a sullen expression: "Does Saburo really think his father is kind and easy to bully?"
"I heard that Ajiu has been living alone since she married into our family. You stay at Xin'an in the side room all day long!"
"How can this be done?"
"After all, Ajiu is the main wife, and she is also the princess of the Sanjo family. If Xin'an is pregnant with a son before him, this son will be the eldest son, but his mother is a side wife, so although he is the eldest son, he is the bastard."
"My Kyogoku family has had many problems over the past generations due to the issue of heirs. There have been constant disputes between your grandfather and this family for the past three generations."
"Now that we have finally been able to take a breather, how can I sit back and watch you do such a thing with endless consequences?"
Hearing this, Kyogoku Takamasa finally understood what Kyogoku Takahiro meant.
In fact, Kyogoku Takahiro was not simply urging Kyogoku Takamasa to have a son, but he hoped that this son should be born by Mrs. Sanjo.
As a participant and person involved in the internal strife of the Kyogoku family in recent generations, Kyogoku Takahiro said that he has something to say!
After all, the Kyogoku family has believed that civil strife broke out over the issue of heirs since the beginning of Kyogoku Takahiro's generation. Kyogoku Takahiro's generation also had a fight with Kyogoku Takayoshi. It can be said that without these two civil strifes, the Kyogoku family would not have fallen into the same salty situation as before.
Kyogoku Takahiro has learned a lesson at this time, so I hope Kyogoku Takamasa will not make this mistake again.
At this time, Kyogoku Takamasa also had to face up to the issues raised by Kyogoku Takahiro.
In fact, Kyogoku Takamasa had not considered this matter carefully before. He just felt that Mrs. Sanjo was still too young. If she said "hehehe" too early, it would be a kind of destruction to Mrs. Sanjo's body.
But Kyogoku Gaomasa also had needs, so he stayed at Nizi Xin'an all day.
After all, he is a young man, so it is normal for him to be a little energetic.
But if it is true as Kyogoku Takahiro said, Nizi Xin'an became pregnant first and the son was left, then he would be the eldest son.
And if Mrs. Sanjo fails to give birth to a son, or waits for the eldest son of the concubine to grow up, it will be a huge hidden danger for the issue of heirs in the future.
It is indeed time to face up to this issue.
But Kyogoku Takamasa then thought about it, Mrs. Sanjo was only fourteen years old, so she really couldn't do anything.
Could it be that we can’t go to Nizi Xin’an?
Give Gil a long vacation?
Kyogoku Takamasa felt his restless lower body and felt the clear protest from his little brother.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
so hard!
Kyogoku Takamasa really didn't know what to do now.
Seeing Kyogoku Takamasa's uncertain expression, Kyogoku Takahiro, who has been there, naturally knows what Kyogoku Takamasa is struggling with.
Suddenly, Kyogoku Takahiro leaned over and whispered into Kyogoku Takamasa's ear: "Don't worry, my son, my father was once young, and he knows that some things are indeed irresistible."
"It's normal for young people to have such needs."
"If you can't help it, why don't you go to Tsuruya in the castle town to have some fun. The owner of Tsuruya, Matsushita Jinosuke, will send some new people here from time to time, including many young girls in bud. Those are all wonderful people... ." Having said this, Kyogoku Takahiro couldn't help but have a look of nostalgia on his face.
"But you are young after all, and you still need to exercise restraint on these things!" After saying that, Kyogoku Takahiro licked his lips again, as if he was thinking about something.
Listening to Kyogoku Takahiro's words, Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly felt a little scared.
Is it true that I asked my son to go to the piao?
"Have Father been there?" Kyogoku Takamasa asked curiously.
Kyogoku Takahiro's face instantly became serious, and he said seriously: "How can I have been to these places?"
"As a father, I have a deep love for your mother. How can these temptations in this world bewitch me?"
Saying that, Kyogoku Takahiro stood up, shook his sleeves, and put his hands behind his back.
"I, Kyogoku Takahiro, am I such a person?!"
