Maeda Kyoji took Suemon everywhere to buy horses these days, and he suffered a lot.

First, Susuke Zaemon was not well-off, and when he saw the expensive Haoma, he always looked for various reasons to refuse and didn't want to pay. Maeda Keiji had to knock him over and over again.

Secondly, Japan is a place with scarce material resources, and horses are valuable items and are not kept everywhere. Most horse farms in the city town gather the resources of the entire city town town. Including agricultural arable horses, there are only a few hundred horses. Among them, it is quite good to have dozens of horses selected as war horses.

Maeda Keiji is a very serious person. Although he is a stunning person, he seems to be ignorant and doesn't seem to care about anything. But in fact, he is still very serious and responsible when handling the tasks assigned by Gao Xianda.

If one place cannot be collected, then go to a few more places. For this reason, he traveled all over Kinki to Suruga. Finally, he forced him to gather two thousand war horses, and they were war horses in the standard sense.

Of course, Susaka Zaemon, as the investor, paid a high price for this, and even the borrowed money had already been spent. He could only borrow a little by relying on his past relationships in various places. In the end, he was carrying a lot of usury, and now he is about to give up his life.

Maeda Keiji came back with two thousand horses, hoping to spend several months organizing a cavalry unit and then attack Inabayama Castle.

Gao Xianda once promised him that if he conquered Daoye Mountain City, he would become the lord of Daoye Mountain City. Daoye Mountain City is a big city in the world. If he could become the lord of Daoye Mountain City, it would be a very glorious thing and would be considered as a shining shining family.

But he didn't expect that before his cavalry unit began to be formed, Inabayama Castle was taken down by the Imagawa family!

In addition to being frustrated, Maeda Kyoji took a higher look at Gao Xianda's strength.

"It doesn't matter, our career is just starting. Your cavalry unit is still very important, and you must continue to be formed!" Gao Xianda looked at the quality of the horses Maeda Kyoji bought.

He originally thought that it would be good to buy a batch of meat horses with the current financial resources of Zaemon, but he didn't expect that these horses were all the best war horses. Although the quality was much worse than famous horses such as Ferrari and Matsufeng, the quality was above the average line, and it was already a rare good thing on the battlefield.

So Gao Xianda was very happy about this.

It just so happened that he captured Inabayama Castle without any loss, and obtained a large amount of military funds and a large amount of treasures in the city from Saito Ryuki. Gao Xianda picked a few exquisite treasures and rewarded them to Maeda Keiji and Sushun Zaemon.

Moreover, judging from the quality of the horse and the embarrassment of Suspicion Zaemon, Gao Xianda understood that he had suffered a lot these days, so the money was definitely not enough to spend.

Susaka Zaemon is a talent, and he can't really force him to death. As long as he knows that he is wrong, it's fine. So Gao Xianda used the name of reward to fill some of Susaka Zaemon's money, at least he asked him to pay back all the money he owed, leaving a portion of working capital to maintain the business.

If he didn't consider the loan, Susaka Saemon's career was actually going well. When he went to Kyocho and Sakaicho a while ago, he naturally did not forget to expand his business.

Suruga's large tuna and Tomyo's agricultural products are best-selling products in other places. Mino's clay has proven to have great development value and can fire exquisite porcelain. So, under the promotion of Susuksaemon, some artists have decided to move from Kyomachi to Mino, specifically to make exquisite ceramics.

The ambergris produced by the sperm whale caught in Junfu was also sought after by merchants in Sakaimachi. Sohi Imai made it clear that if there were such good things in the future, he would charge as much as he could, and it would be 30% higher than the market price.

As a result of this horse buying event, Susuke Zaemon regained the newcomer of Gaoshenda. Therefore, Gaoshenda still asked his merchants to carry out commercial activities as the chief merchant of the Imakawa family, and provided the greatest help in all aspects.

However, as the chief merchant, he was raised his tax ratio. As a result, Saemon's trade activities made money, but in fact most of the money was handed over to the Imakawa family as military funds.

But as long as it is a monopoly industry, it is still profitable. Moreover, these trade routes were indeed established with the help of Gao Xianda. Gao Xianda can get out of here with just one sentence, and he can't get a single item of goods. There are many businesses who are eager to try it out. So Susaimon calculated it and felt that it was profitable, so he agreed.

Because Mino's territory is large, equivalent to the area of ​​Ohachi and Sanhe, the population under its jurisdiction is large, which is a place worth developing. Moreover, most of these city lords surrender, and there are inevitably people who care about the old lords, so a series of personnel need to be transferred to ensure the control of Mino by the Imakawa family.

In order to ensure the implementation of this plan, Gao Xianda stayed Uenizumi Nobutsu to support Kinisho Tokiro's army construction and stabilized his military strength. Then he asked Maeda Keiji to temporarily act as the lord in Sumata Castle, mainly responsible for training a strong cavalry unit.

Although Sumata Castle is a military important place, it is a small town newly built by Tokiro Kinoshita, and the facilities inside are not complete enough. It is said to be a castle, and the living conditions are no different from that of a fort. As the lord here, others don’t have to be jealous. It is very suitable for Keiji Maeda, who has not made contributions to the Imakawa family.

Moreover, Momata Castle is located in the middle of Qingzhou City and Inabayama City. The three cities are mutually supportive and can mobilize troops at any time to prevent rebellion.

Gao Xianda returned to Junfu City alone and discussed the next plan with Meng Yan.

Meng Yan's nickname is "Sai Zhuge". Although this is his own title, in fact, he does have some tricks in internal affairs, which is much more powerful than the real Imakawa Yoshimoto.

During the short period of time he returned to Junfu City, he had sorted out all the affairs of the Imakawa family and arranged all the retainers to obey. Then he was not in a hurry to carry out military preparations, but ordered the people to seize the time to carry out production.

Junfu and Yuanjiang areas have not been troubled by war this year, so farming has not been delayed. Sure enough, under his supervision, all the territory of the Imakawa family have basically had a bumper harvest this autumn, and a large amount of rice can be accumulated to be used as military food, and the population has also increased.

"Mino has already won it? Very good!" After listening to Gao Xianda's report, Meng Yan was particularly satisfied with it. "We can start to say hello to Asaku and Asaku families!"
