Edo Traveler

  Chapter 337 40. Xiangshan in charge of Songdai Power

  Shinano country, Matsushiro Castle.

  No need to repeat, there are scenes of destruction of houses everywhere, and the accompanying fire has swept through most of Matsushita Castle Town.

  Since the original lord Nobuyuki Sanada was transferred to this place, the Sanada clan has been operating here for more than two hundred years. The original domain of 100,000 stones has now been developed to more than 300,000 stones. In addition, the current lord Yukuki Sanada is a person who is determined to reform. He has strengthened the construction of the domain business and regained control of the monopoly. Fan's finances have gradually become healthy.

  And because Sanada Yukuki is the great-great-grandson of Tokugawa Yoshizong, the identity of a rare foreign daimyo actually took up the position of the old middle school that was completely monopolized by the genealogical daimyo, which greatly enhanced Sanada’s political influence. After the curtain fell in history, Sanada was ranked as a Marquis.

  However, after this earthquake, the Fanzhong Foundation, which has recovered so easily, is a waste of money. Fortunately, feudal lord Sanada Yukuki was in the feudal clan at this time, and everyone still had a backbone, who could twist into a rope for disaster relief work.

  First, use the abundant water in the moat to extinguish the fire under the city. The city was severely damaged this time. After all, Matsushiro was at the epicenter. Even the castle of Matsushiro was tilted and needed major repairs. As for the stone wall, the wall, let alone a large piece of it collapsed.

  Fortunately, there will be no wars in these years. If the city collapses, it will collapse. You can slowly repair it. To give an example that we have mentioned before, Sagara Castle was built for eleven years before Sagarahou Tanuma Yoji was completed. If you have money, you can fix something, and if you don’t have money, you can rest for a while. The big deal is that His Royal Highness lives in another courtyard under the city.

  The main thing is the restoration of the castle. Matsushiro sent the news of the great earthquake back to Edo, and Edo immediately replied with a letter. Yukura Sanada, who stayed behind in Edo as a hostage, said that he was already walking around the back door, borrowing money from the shogunate, first borrowing thirty thousand taels of gold, and talking about it if it wasn't enough. And he has asked the younger brother Akashi Hou Songping Qixuan of the shogunate, and the shogunate's recently used imperial foreign country Kake Edogawa Chuemon, and he expects that the shogunate will allocate funds soon.

  After reading the news from Edo, Yukuki Sanada finally showed a smile on his melancholy face, and passed the letter to the elder Kawara Ukyo and others to watch. Our young master is really witty, don't care about everything else, first ask the shogunate for money. Anyway, Yukuki Sanada's blood is still Tokugawa's uncle.

  With thirty thousand taels, this disaster relief work can be carried out smoothly. In addition, the food collected in the feudal clan last year has not been sold out this year. If you send some rice to the common people, your heart will be stabilized.

  No problem!

  At this moment, where is the Sakuma Zoyama that we missed by Chuemon? He also attended the Sanada's vassal meeting as a nonvoting delegate, but he certainly hasn't reached any elder in his status and is not responsible for presiding over the work. But Yukuki Sanada asked him to be responsible for the accounting work of the food for disaster relief. This is not even a cronies who can't do it, which shows that Yukuki Sanada puts his trust in him.

  As for the glassware that I said before, the entire workshop was completely destroyed by the earthquake, and my little effort was lost for a year. But is there any way to deal with such a natural disaster? I still have to face it with a smile.

  No words for a night, the fire under the city was basically put out the next day. Matsushita Castle Town is also a large town with almost 20,000 people. It is now half destroyed, which is still very heartbreaking.

   "Edo Express! Edo Express!"

Sakuma Xiangshan, who had just got up, heard someone on the ruined street suddenly shouted and rushed to the castle residence. He didn’t know what had happened in Edo, so he hurried to the residence in such a hurry to send news. Ready to hear the news.

   Yuuki Sanada, who had not slept all night of worry last night, got up when he heard the emergency report. He stood under the corridor and received the emergency report. After only one glance, the whole person felt the sky spinning, and with a whirr, he fell on his back.

  Sakuma Xiangshan with quick eyes and quick hands rushed forward to hug Yuuki Sanada. It was still early, and few people came to serve the public. Fortunately, Sakuma Xiangshan's mind turned quickly, so he thought a little more and rushed in early. Otherwise, this Sanada's luck will fall, and the unevenness will be a cerebral hemorrhage.

  Holding the people back, Sakuma Xiangshan saw that the emergency report that Yukuki Sanada was holding tightly in his hand had an astonishing news written on it. The young master Yukura Sanada fell to his death!

  Sanada Yukura is the only son of Sanada Yukuki!

  First there is an earthquake, and then the next generations will die. Heaven is about to perish my Matsushiro Clan!

  Hurry up to clear up the mood. The young and old Sakuma Xiangshan, who has also learned a little of Dutch medicine, checks the situation of Sanada Kotsuki, and orders the waiter who has been dumbfounded by him to pass on the doctor, and then asks someone to invite the family elders and a heavy minister to come.

  All the performances of calmness were seen in Sanada's eyes. Although Sanada sank down after hearing the news of his son's death, he was still sober. He himself admired the talent and ability of Sakuma Zoyama. At the same time, Sakuma Zoyama was a retainer who served the Sanada clan for many generations, and he was a member of the Matsushiro clan.

  After all his retainers arrived, Yukuki Sanada, who was interested, announced the appointment of Sakuma Shoyama as the family elder, and fully presided over the disaster relief and reorganization work for the entire Clan Matsushiro!

  The flattered Sakuma Xiangshan repeatedly turned down ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, saying that he was so ignorant of learning, how could he surpass a group of old relatives, and then take charge of the housekeeping of the Matsushiro clan. Although the Sanada vassals on the left and right did not show anything on their faces, they must have some dissatisfaction or doubts in their hearts.

  Thinking about seniority is deeply ingrained these days, you are fortunate to Sakuma Xiangshan, no one can say nothing. Sakuma Kasayama is the lineage vassal of the Sanada clan and belongs to his own within the circle. There is no problem. However, it is a bit overstepped to directly grant power to the family.

  Seeing that all the retainers did not speak, Sanada Yukuki did not stop, and continued to announce a new appointment. Since Yukura Sanada, the young lord of the Matsushiro domain, died, and Yukuki Sanada had no other heirs, then the heir of the Sanada clan of the Matsushiro domain could only be the only son of Yukura Sanada, that is, Sanada Kumaru Maru (Xionwakamaru).

  Sanada Kumorakamaru is fourteen years old this year, so it stands to reason that she can also take the original service. But Yukuki Sanada didn't want to serve him, but appointed Sakuma Kumayama as the Fuyu of Sanada Kumamaru, which, to put it bluntly, was the auxiliary minister. Let Sakuma Komayama assist Sanada Kumamaru. In the future, Sanada Kumayama will succeed to the throne. Sakuma Komayama can continue to serve as the elder of the Matsushiro clan and rule the feudal clan.

(Yukiliang Sanada is not a tool man, he really died suddenly and died suddenly. I just asked him to use his residual heat to act as a little master of the plot, paving the way for the iron brother Sakuma Xiangshan. Anyway, he is going to die. Well, why not dying is more valuable!)
