Chapter seven hundred and sixty sixth talent is difficult to appoint
Maeda Riku scolded him until he was out of breath, and Maeda Yuji said with a smile.
"Mom, I know I was wrong. Let's go in and talk. I'll help you pour water to quench your thirst."
Seeing that Maeda Yoshida seemed to be unable to get enough fuel, and that he did not have the majesty of Wanseki Daimyo at all, Maeda Toshihisa felt powerless for a while.
She nodded silently and called for Da Zang Chang'an, who was embarrassed behind her, to come into the room and talk.
The three of them sat down. Maeda Riku drank some water to calm his mind and said.
"Benefit, there is a great talent in Dazang Chang'an. I want you to recommend her to go to Kanto and serve in front of the Imperial Palace."
Maeda glanced at Ozo Changan, who was observing etiquette, and asked his mother.
"What is she capable of?"
"Public security, internal affairs, especially good at stabilizing territories and managing local affairs. He also has great ideas for local planning such as water conservancy and transportation."
Maeda was stunned, so powerful? It was rare for his mother to admire someone so highly, and he was still a young Samurai Hime.
she said in surprise.
"Since you are so powerful, why not stay in Iga and help you?"
Maeda Toshihisa's face hardened, and Ozo Changan's face also showed bitterness.
After a long time, Maeda Toshihisa sighed.
"It's my fault that I can't use her.
As you said, Ozo-ryu Sarugaku is quite famous, and her family did make a lot of money to train her. This is why she cannot integrate into the retainers group.
Rather than letting the pearl gather dust in my place, it is better to send it to the Odaisho as a token of my sincere service to the lord from the Iga Maeda family."
Maeda narrowed his eyes and spoke in a bad tone.
"Mother is saying that there is someone in the family who is jealous of talents and has made things difficult for you?"
Maeda Riku glared at her and said.
"Don't talk nonsense. Walls have ears. If word spreads, it will chill the hearts of the retainers and be detrimental to the family business."
Maeda was a self-proclaimed eccentric, had a weird temper, and did not care about internal affairs. After receiving the land from Shiba Yiyin, she would only beg her mother from thousands of miles away, crying and asking Maeda Rihisa to come and help.
Maeda Rihisa is also unlucky. She falls into this prodigal daughter who is very lucky and has a very generous master, but has absolutely no interest in the territory. Who cares about her mother? Just grit your teeth and help.
Maeda's subordinates are mainly divided into two factions.
One is the Iga Yuno clan who participated in the recent battles. Except for part of this group of old Iga clan who moved to Kanto with the Doshin clan, the rest have been impressed by Maeda Yoshi's bravery and military exploits.
When Yoshigami Shiba seduced the Iga people into fighting, and later helped them clear their identity and land, the savage Noda was incorporated into the guardian system and became a true samurai family.
Although these people work under Maeda's interests, the land is entrusted to Shiba Yiyin and is within the scope of Shiba Reservoir.
In fact, they are regarded as Yoshihiro Shiba's retainers. They are similar to the forces assigned to Maeda's interests. They should be respected. Maeda Rihisa cannot be too harsh on them.
Because Yu Yezhong was a savage turned martial artist, what they valued most was the identity they had worked so hard to get back. Of course, they did not have a good impression of Ozo Changan, who was born as a monkey musician and was promoted unusually.
The other group of people are the samurai from the Kaixi and Kaidong counties brought by Maeda Rihisa from Shimo-Owari. These people are centered on the Maeda Hime samurai from Arakoko Castle and are direct descendants brought by Maeda Rihisa.
In the countryside of Owari, they yearned for the land of Koji, and were persuaded by Maeda Rihisa to come to Iga and work for Maeda's interests.
Therefore, the land they received was a settlement issued by Maeda's interests, and they were the traditional retainers group in the true sense.
Because they came to Konki from Owari, they were quite united. They looked down upon each other with the rest of the wild community, and of course they would not look down upon the sarugaku master saruka who came from Yamato.
The Iga Maeda family and the retainers group that Maeda interests are composed of these two factions. Not to mention the subdivision of each family under the two factions, just mediating the conflicts between the two factions gives Maeda a headache.
Although Dazang Changan was talented, the martial arts society was orderly and hierarchical. An actor who was promoted to a Ji warrior might not end well.
It was difficult for Maeda Riku to appoint Ozo Changan, but she was reluctant to waste this talent. After much thought, she decided to find her daughter and send Ozo Changan to Kanto to serve the imperial court as a companion.
Shiba Yiyin has high prestige and is short of talents. Maeda can use talents that Toshiyuki Maeda can't use for a long time. Who dares to make irresponsible remarks on the talents that Odai values ?
Maeda Toshihisa told his daughter in detail. Maeda was confused by the benefits. He touched his head and felt that his temples were a little swollen. She was used to being the boss of the family, and the unscrupulous retainers didn't bother to pay attention.
But she knew that at any rate, if she lost her temper randomly and stood up for her mother to suppress the thorns in the retainer group, it might not lead to better results, but might cause new trouble for her mother.
Therefore, Maeda nodded and agreed to write a letter of recommendation to Dazang Changan and give her travel expenses. He asked her to go back and pack her bags and prepare to leave for Kanto.
But she was still a little puzzled, and she asked after Dazang Changan gratefully resigned and mother and daughter were alone.
"Mother, even if we can't use Dazang Chang'an, we can still send it to Nizi Shengjiu.
She is the acting housekeeper of the Sibo Territory in recent years, responsible for taking care of internal affairs, which is enough for Dazang Changan to learn from it.
According to what you said, Dazang Changan is very capable and will definitely be appreciated by Nizi Shengjiu. This can be regarded as a sign of good friendship between me and her.
Don't you always teach me to be more friendly with her and get closer to her?"
Maeda Riku poked his daughter's forehead with his finger, causing her head to hurt, and he cursed.
"You silly girl! I asked you to make friends with Nizi Katsuhisa to prevent Akechi Mitsuhide from counterattack.
Have you forgotten where Yamanaka Yukimori went? It is also the credit of Yamanaka Nizi's party to give Dazang Chang'an to Nizi Shengjiu and achieve great results in the future.
Have you forgotten that your opponent is not only Akechi Mitsuhide, Yamanaka Yukimori also got Shiba's information."
Maeda suddenly realized the benefits.
"What mother said is that I almost did something stupid like siding with the enemy. But Dazang Chang'an specializes in internal affairs, and you lack help.
Why don't you let me suppress the retainers and let you make good use of her? Wouldn't it be a pity to send her to Kanto?"
Maeda Toshihisa said seriously.
"Isn't it just for you?
I heard that the Li family sent someone to Guandong, a water conservancy expert. What do you think she is planning?"
When she heard Maeda Toshiie, Maeda Toshiie's eyes turned cold, and she lowered her head in thought.
"What does Maeda Toshiie want to do... Owari has been away for a long time? Is she afraid that the master will forget her existence, so she deliberately reminds the master to pay attention?"
Maeda Riku nodded.
"That's right. It's better to add icing on the cake than to provide help in times of need.
When the Imperial Guard went to Kanto, they brought mostly warriors who were good at fighting, but not many talented people who could manage the territory and govern the place.
Once the attendants sent by the Li family achieve something, the master will remember her recommendation, which is really a good move."
Maeda said unhappily.
“Then if we follow suit and send internal affairs talents, does that count as imitating others?
I don’t want to, I don’t want to imitate her! Disgusting!”
Seeing his daughter acting like a child, Toshihisa Maeda slapped the document and said angrily.
"Okay, I won't give it away! I'll just listen to you. You are the governor of the house anyway.
Don’t regret it in the future, don’t cry and make trouble with me!”
Seeing that his mother was really angry, Maeda was so frightened that he kept silent for a while.
