Chapter 40: Recommending Jiro to serve as an official
After the death of Hirate Masahide, the Oda family fell into a period of chaos. Now that Oda Nobunaga has returned safely from a meeting with Saito Douzan from Shotokuji Temple, he has stabilized the situation in the family again, and everyone has settled down and is doing their own thing.

The two major financial and diplomatic powers originally controlled by Hirate Masahide were all held by Oda Nobunaga, and the money bag of Tsushima was also controlled by Oda Nobunaga.

As for Lin Xiuzhen, his power was squeezed by Oda Nobunaga and was no longer what it used to be. This made the conflict between Lin Xiuzhen and Oda Nobunaga more acute, and Lin Xiuzhen began to be marginalized in Oda's family.

Oda Nobunaga did not have many talents available, so Nobutora saw this opportunity to recommend his younger brother Jiro.

On this day, Nobutora came to the residence hall early to pay homage to Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga was also a little curious. Usually Nobtora went to the school field to train the iron artillery team as soon as he arrived at the residence hall.

He asked directly: "Xinhu, why are you free to see me today?"

Xinhu saluted and said, "I have something to ask the master of the family today."

"You say it."

Oda Nobunaga replied.

Xinhu organized his speech and said: "My lord, I have a brother who is fourteen years old and can serve as an official. Therefore, I dare to ask your lord to meet him."

Oda Nobunaga smiled and said, "Okay, I agree."

Nobutora immediately stood up and brought Tsuda Jiro outside the residence hall into the residence hall. Oda Nobunaga directly asked Murai Sadakatsu to assess Tsuda Jiro.

Whether it is spearmanship, kendo, or archery, Tsuda Jiro has reached the standards of a samurai.

Oda Nobunaga nodded and said: "Yes, Jiro can become my retainer. What other talents do you have?"

Tsuda Jiro followed Nobutora's instructions and said: "My lord, I am also good at arithmetic."

"Oh?"

Oda Nobunaga glanced at Nobutora, nodded and said: "Sadakatsu, give him a test."

Murai Sadakatsu bowed, then tilted his head and asked Tsuda Jiro: "Then I will start with the simplest one. One ashigaru needs Liuhe grains in one day, so how many fighting soldiers do one hundred and fifty ashigaru need in three days? grain?"

Tsuda Jiro followed the algorithm of the Shinto Sect, quickly calculated in his mind, and said: "Twenty-seven fights."

Murai Sadakatsu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Not bad, very fast and accurate."

"The next step will be difficult. This is what we encounter in our daily work. Please listen carefully.

Now there is a request to build a dike. Five hundred and forty people are needed. On the first day, forty people came to build the dike. After the next day, the number of people sent each time was five more than the previous day. How many days will it take to build this number of people? All here. "

When Tsuda Jiro heard this question, his eyes opened slightly. This question seemed to be very similar to the arithmetic sequence that his brother explained to him a few days ago.

He immediately applied the formula, calculated in his mind, and replied: "Nine days."

Murai Sadakatsu looked at Oda Nobunaga, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Master, this Lord Jiro's magic skills are very good, and he is no less good than me. He can work here."

Oda Nobunaga happened to lack this kind of talent that could count. He glanced at Nobutora, nodded and said: "Well, after Lang Yuan has finished his service, he will go work under Sadakatsu."

"Thank you, Master, I am deeply grateful!"

Tsuda Jiro immediately saluted.

Xinhu nodded with satisfaction. His younger brother could also eat a portion of the public food since he got a job.

The next step is to save money, buy a house for Jiro, and marry a wife.

Regardless of whether Jiro has thought about these things or not, as an elder brother, he should think about it.

Not only that, he also had to save a dowry for his sister Axiang. The next step is to give Jiro Yuanfu, which has been prepared for a long time.

The event of giving Jiro the original uniform will be held at Bodhi Temple. The eldest brother is like father. The person who will give Jiro the black hat at that time will be Nobutora himself.

Nobutora led Jiro out of the residence, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, you are not nervous in front of the head of the house, and you deal with it calmly. You are much better than me.

Jiro, after tomorrow's yen server, you will be an adult, so work hard! "

Tsuda Jiro nodded and said: "Ha, brother, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to serve the public and revitalize the Tsuda family!"

The next day, Nobuhu put on a black straight suit with the help of Axiang. He adjusted the black hat on his head, and then he took the lacquer box handed by Axiang, which contained a brand new black hat.

Nobutora walked out of the yard. The servant was already waiting with the war horse. Jiro had already mounted his own war horse. This was Nobutora. After the Battle of Xuanjin, he got a large reward and bought Jiro a horse with a height of 1.3 meters at the shoulder. Wu's Kiso war horse cost eighty Yongle coins.

Seeing Jiro's energetic look, Nobuhu nodded with satisfaction. He immediately got on his horse and led Jiro out of the city.

Half an hour later, Nobutora and Jiro arrived at Bodhi Temple. He asked the master of Bodhi Temple to take Jiro down to bathe and change clothes, and he stood at the door of the temple to greet the guests.

Soon, Maori Shengqing arrived first. He exchanged a few words with Nobutora and then welcomed the guests with him.

Later, colleagues such as Sasana Narimasa, Maeda Toshiie, Iio Naokiyo and other mother-in-laws came. In addition, family elders Naito Katsusuke, Shimada Hidemitsu and others sent gifts.

Just when the guests were about to arrive, Oda Nobunaga, wearing straight clothes, rode a horse to the gate of the temple.

Nobuhu immediately stepped forward to greet him and said, "Master of the family!"

Oda Nobunaga smiled and said, "I'm here to join in the fun."

Nobuhu quickly stepped aside and said: "It is Jiro's honor for the master of the family to come. Please come in."

Oda Nobunaga got off his horse and walked into Bodhi Temple. When other people saw Oda Nobunaga coming in, they immediately saluted, but in an instant everyone continued chatting and laughing.

Everyone has long been used to Oda Nobunaga's willingness to join in the fun.

Nobutora followed Oda Nobunaga into the temple, and the abbot came to tell Nobutora that the time had come.

He immediately straightened his clothes and walked into the hall.

The other guests sat on both sides of the hall, with Nobutora sitting on the main seat.

The master who presided over the ceremony said a sacrificial verse to the Buddha statue, and then invited Tsuda Jiro to enter the temple.

Tsuda Jiro walked calmly, walked up to Nobutora step by step, sat down cross-legged, bowed his head and saluted.

Nobutora opened the lacquer box solemnly, took out the black hat, put it on Jiro carefully, and said: "From the moment you put on the black hat, you are no longer a child, but a samurai." , as an elder brother, I hope you can remember your mission and serve your family wholeheartedly."

"Ha! I remember it, little brother."

Jiro Tsuda saluted and replied.

Nobutora stood up and said loudly: "Today is the Yuanfu ceremony for my younger brother Jiro, from now on he will be Tsuda Jiro Noburyu!"

"Oh! Noburyu, Tsuda-sama has high expectations for Noburyu-sama."

"Brothers Longhu, the head of the family has added another general."

"The prosperity of the Tsuda family is just around the corner."

The guests watching the Genfu ceremony were very envious. The two young brothers were also favored by the head of the family, Oda Nobunaga. The Tsuda family had a bright future.
