That night, Yu Qiushang walked on the mountain alone for a long time. When he came back, his mood was completely different.

However, what was somewhat surprising was that in the snowy night, a small figure was waiting for him at the door of Yuqiu's house.

"Seniori Maru, why are you waiting in the heavy snow? You will catch a cold." Yu Qiu Shang frowned and whispered when he saw Naoe Seiori Maru at the door.

"Because I'm not worried about Brother Shang'er." Naoe Seimonmaru sucked his nose and said in a low voice, "My father and several guards have gone out to find His Highness Hongye and Brother Shang'er. His Highness Hongye has returned not long ago. I see that Brother Shang'er has not come back yet, so I can't rest assured, so I'm waiting outside."

"Thank you." Yu Qiu Shang was moved, and pulled up Naoe Seimonmaru's sleeve and led him into the room.

"Brother Shang'er, you have to be polite, this is what I should do."

The sound of the wooden door being pushed open was particularly clear in the quiet night. Imakawa Kaede, who was originally leaning against the stove, was suddenly awakened. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the door as if she was not awake, and found that Yu Qiushang had walked into the house. Naoe Seimonmaru was taking Yu Qiushang's clothes and helping him shake off the snow on his clothes.

"Shang'er!" Imakawa Kaede called out hurriedly, walked forward quickly, hugging Yu Qiushang into his arms, and complaining to Yu Qiuping as if he was muttering to himself: "Your father is really! He promised to take you out for a walk, but he came back alone, and said you will be back soon! How dangerous it is to leave you alone! He is still sleeping so soundly in the house! This deceiving liar!"

"Mom." Yu Qiushang felt a little relieved when he heard his father's behavior, "I shouldn't have said such a heavy word to you before, I'm sorry."

"Shang'er?" Imakawa Kaede was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Yu Qiushang's first words came back were actually apologies.

At this moment, another burst of rapid and messy footsteps came from the room. Yu Qiuyou ran over in his pajamas and covered in a quilt. His eyes were covered with bloodshot and his face was haggard. He looked like he hadn't slept all night.

"Ayou, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked to you like that just now." The moment Yu Qiushang saw Yu Qiuyou, his eyes were filled with apology and guilt. He bowed with great guilt and whispered.

"No... brother doesn't need to apologize." Yu Qiuyou hurriedly helped his brother up, and the quilt wrapped around him slid to the ground. He hesitated for a moment, not daring to look straight into his brother's eyes, but still asked in a low voice: "Brother... what I want to ask is... are your brother's previous words serious?"

Yu Qiushang was stunned when he heard this, and the words "of course it was an angry word" almost blurted out.

Then, he was stunned.

Are those really angry words? No, those are the thoughts I have always hidden in my heart. I just kept holding on to my feelings because I was afraid of hurting my brother's feelings.

I have decided not to live for others anymore.

So Yu Qiushang smiled relievedly. It was a mature smile that children of this age should not have. He patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said nothing more.

More than four months later.

On March 30, the 11th year of Echonro (1568), an important assessment meeting was held in the Tensou Pavilion in Kuroda Castle. Naoe Tadaehiro, Senae Yoshino, Amano Keito, Sanada Masayuki, Takenaka Shigeji, and Takenaka Shigeji were all present. And Takenaka Shigeji and Amano Keito were each sitting next to them. Yu Qiushang and Yu Qiuyuyou were each sitting. Yu Qiuhei planned to let them start to contact some official business and slowly cultivate their abilities, which could be considered as giving them an internship.

"The acceptance and digestion of the territories of the four small families has basically been completed." Naoe Tadaehime handed over a thick stack of information to Yu Qiuping. It was basically the land deeds, land inspection data, and the dispatch of the samurai who was originally responsible for the governance. "If it is expected to go smoothly, as long as this year's autumn harvest is normal, there will be no problems in the future."

"Thank you for your hard work these days." Yu Qiuping looked at Naojiang Tadaopi's haggard face and said gratefully. He understood the complexity and troubles of these work, and was clueless and exhausted, so he threw it to Naojiang Tadaopi very irresponsibly. It has been almost ten years, and every time he has any troublesome things or miscellaneous things in his house, he will leave it to Naojiang Tadaopi, the butler, to complete it - he has always been diligent.

"What is the judicial situation in the territory? Powerful Guard?" Yu Qiuping turned his eyes to Amano Keito and asked.

"Report to Your Highness." Amano Keito said in a stiff tone as usual: "As Lord Naoe said, the judges have been stationed in various villages. At the beginning, there were also Kou Xiaoyao fighting against the legal authority as before. However, through the operation of the circuit court for several months, the judicial power has been reclaimed from them, and most people have already believed in the authority of the judge."

"Okay, you did a good job." Yu Qiuping nodded, "What about the codes in the territory you have written?"

"The subordinates are incompetent and have not been able to complete it yet." Amano Keidu leaned down very seriously and apologized.

"But I heard from several judges under your command that you have done almost the same job?" Yu Qiuyu asked unexpectedly when he saw Amano Keidu's serious look.

"That's just a draft. There are still many places that need to be repaired, and it probably will take ten days." Amano Jingde did not give Yu Qiuyu any face and whispered in a low voice. Yu Qiuyu's face turned red and he lowered his head awkwardly.

"It's okay, the code is not urgent, so you must compile it." Yu Qiuping gave a few words of advice, and then asked Takenaka Shigeji, "Hongzhi, has the separation of military rank and position been implemented?"

"Report to Your Highness, it's done." Takenaka Shigeji replied respectfully, "The epaulettes formulated at the request of Your Highness have also been made and distributed. All the more than 850 soldiers in the process of Takabata have confirmed their military ranks."

"By the way, Your Highness, I have another proposal." After reporting on the work he had given him before, Shigeji Takenaka took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Yu Qiuping. While Yu Qiuping took it with both hands, Shigeji Takenaka also spoke again: "Because there have been many new recruits recruits this time, Shigeji Takenaka will be destined to include more new recruits in the future. They lack practical experience and will inevitably cause trouble to their own side on the battlefield. Therefore, the staff of Shigeji and the staff of the General Staff formulated this plan."

Yu Qiuping listened to Shigeji Takenaka's introduction while looking through Shigeji Takenaka's plan. However, after just a few pages, he was immediately attracted by the plan.

"Is this... a military exercise?" Yu Qiuping carefully read the plan of Takenaka Shigeji and murmured.

"Military exercise?" Yu Qiuyu repeated the pronunciation of his father with some uncertainty. This was not a Japanese word, but probably his father's birth word.

"It means military exercise." Yu Qiupinghei explained roughly. He didn't expect that this cross-age concept would have been proposed by Takenaka Shigeji so early. "This is very feasible! Banbingwei, you are such a genius! I'll go back and study it carefully and discuss it with you in detail the next day. There are also some operational systems that I want to popularize for the General Staff. I will also tell you together."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Although Yu Qiuping had already praised Takena Shigeji so much, the latter's face was still not as beautiful as ever, but as plain as water, as if the praise just now had nothing to do with him.

"Yi Binge, how are you doing?" Yu Qiuhei looked at Sena Yoshihiro again, "How have our iron roosters made money recently?"

Yu Qiuhei's joke made everyone laugh, but Sena Yoshihiro always regarded the iron rooster as a compliment and said as expected: "The business of the Mitsubishi Caravan is expanding, and the businessmen in Tsushima are also very happy to cooperate with us. In addition, there are also many merchants and wealthy families in Simino who are willing to join our trading business. Even I have run several new trade lines on Ome. Tomoda Nobuhiro did a good job, and I plan to hand over many things to him in the Mitsubishi Caravan's old business path."

"What about Matsuda Nagamori? How did that kid do it?" Compared to Tomoda Nobuhiro, Yu Qiuhei obviously paid more attention to Matsuda Nagamori, a person with a daimyo in his later generations.

"Mamada Nagamori works very well, and he has made the bank look very good." Sena Yoshino mentioned another subordinate and nodded with satisfaction. "Recently, it has entered the repayment period for the first loans of His Highness the People's Bank of China at that time. Mamada Nagamori has done a good job in fund raising and capital turnover."

"Okay, Yuqiu's money bag is in your hands. Don't let me down!" Yuqiuhei smiled and encouraged, then looked at Masayuki Sanada, "Kiqiuwei, what about you? How is the military intelligence department doing? You seem to have just come back from the south yesterday, thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you for your concern." Masayuki Sanada said with a smile, "I did not continue to expand the original intelligence system during this period, but focused on improving your highness's bureaucracy. At the beginning, His Highness proposed such a system, but I was a little dissatisfied with it. However, after practice, I found that this system really helps to improve efficiency, eliminate the impact of private emotions on official business, and has a great significance for intelligence work."

The bureaucracy system is a system that Yu Qiuping vigorously promotes in various systems at home. This is a management method and organizational system in which power is divided and stratified according to functions and positions, and rules are the management subject. Each department, such as the bank, caravan, staff department, military intelligence department, acting official, and judge system, has clear rules, covering all aspects of the organizational system. Within the system, there is such a clear division of responsibilities horizontally, and there is also a power hierarchy structure vertically, presenting a pyramid-like management level. In the organization, all the relationships between personnel are public relations, and any private relationship should be excluded. Even if the father and son work in the same department, they can only be colleagues, and cannot be mixed with private affairs. In addition, all the appointments, promotions, salaries and assessments of warriors and officials have clear systems.

"Hahaha, that's right!" Yu Qiuping naturally believed in the superiority of his cross-age system, "But since you are working on system construction, why did you go to the southeast yesterday?"

"That's right, that's to connect with our ninjas in Sanha's side." Sanada Masayuki replied.

"Oh? We have ninjas in Mikawa?" Yu Qiuping frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "Oh oh oh! It was agreed that you and Hanzo from the Tokugawa family had agreed on this New Year. We each sent a ninja to each other's home to facilitate the two families to contact each other's privately?"
