Pillars of the Wu family

() No one in the Matsudaira family cares whether the Hattori family who are not from Mikawa is alive or dead. Sakai Tadasaka has no one to come forward to help, and he finds a reason to cut off the meager salary that maintains the Hattori family of [-] people. Seeing that the lack of income and livelihood has become a problem, Hattori Baochang is also confused. He doesn't know where he will go when he leaves Matsudaira's house at this time. If he is not at home, he can only take his clansmen to continue wandering.

Kansuke Yamamoto seized the opportunity to intervene in time to relieve his worries. With his background in the Mikawa country and his status as a wandering country for more than ten years, it was easy to win the approval of Baochang Hattori. After a period of contact and repeated persuasion, Baochang Hattori finally decided Leaving the Matsudaira family into the arms of the Kira family.

"I see! Matsudaira's actions are really unpopular!" Kira Wansongmaru smacked his lips. It was the first time he heard about the black history of such a celebrity, and he still had some unfinished business. It is too harsh for Jiandian to feed the Hattori clan with nearly a hundred people!"

Kira Wansongmaru asked, "Master, how much rice can you buy with Tongguan coins?"

"At the price of Sanhe's grain, you can probably buy eight buckets and five liters of rice!"

"So one hundred copper coins can only buy 85 shi of rice! Is there no other way?"

"If you switch to coarse grains such as brown rice, millet, wheat, and potatoes, you can double the amount and buy 170 shi of grain."

"Looking at it like this, it still doesn't feel like enough..." The two of them asked and answered without any malice, removing the last fig leaf of Hattori's family.

The copper coins commonly used in Sanhe are ji qian, that is, low-quality copper coins minted by the local daimyo without the technique of minting coins. The proliferation of private castings has led to rising prices. In the 18th year of Tianwen, one hundred guan can only buy 85 shi of rice.

The 85 shi of rice seems like a lot, but an adult consumes eight buckets of grain a year, and 85 shi is not enough for the men of the Hattori family. Do those women and children have to drink the northwest wind?

Even if all the 85 shi of rice were replaced with coarse grains, it would still not be enough to eat twice as much, so Hattori Baochang kept his head down in embarrassment and remained silent. The twenty or so people from the Fu tribe who accompanied him were different. They had no affection for the Matsudaira family. , all of them clenched their fists and gnashed their teeth in outrage. It seems that the Songping family really didn't do much good.

In addition to Hattori Hosaga as the head of the Matsudaira family, who can get a hundred kanbumi annual salary, there are some low-level samurai in his relatives who served as the Matsudaira family, although they can only get a few kan. One person eats enough to support rice, but the days are barely enough, and they belong to the group of people who are barely struggling to meet the food and clothing line.

Of course, this is only pure living expenses. Ninjas need activity funds to collect information, daily training, weapons and clothing expenses are not included. In the past, Matsudaira Hirodada could get some extra support and rewards when he was alive, but Matsudaira When Guangzhong dies, everything will be gone, not only that, he will not even give you your salary.

In the past six months, the Hattori family has not been able to get a penny of money and salary, all relying on the little family wealth accumulated over the past ten years. Those who are kind can even give them a little ration relief, and those who are ruthless will be kicked out directly.

The dignified Iga Ninja Hattori family has been reduced to the point of relying on people for charity. It is really a bit of a loss. Apart from asking grandpa to tell Nainai for an explanation, the Hattori family had to sneak into the mountains to hunt animals in order to have enough food. Going down the river to fish for a living, the women of the clan gather together to weave fishing nets and rattan baskets, and sell them in the castle town of Okazaki Castle. Whenever they meet the samurai of the Matsudaira family in the castle town, they are always full of humiliation and anger. The love for the Matsudaira family has been exhausted unconsciously.

Seeing the angry expressions of all the relatives of the Hattori family, Kira Manmatsumaru said: "I heard that Iwamiden intends to transfer to the main family. The main family is very happy to hear that! As the sincerity of the main family to accept the Hattori family, I specially appointed the guardian of the Hattori Ishimi as the main family. Fantou, with an annual salary of two hundred guanwen."

"Yes! Your servant, Yasuo Hattori, thanks the owner for your kindness! I would like to do my best for the great cause of the Kira family, and never forget the great kindness of the owner!" It's not that Yasuo Hattori never thought about raising his salary, but he gave the annual salary so lightly. It’s still a bit of a surprise to double the amount of food, and the living conditions can be greatly improved, which means that this winter, the clansmen don’t have to worry about starvation and cold, and they don’t have to hold up humble trades to compete with the poor for their livelihood. Under the greeting of Hattori Baochang, the members of the Hattori family bowed down to express their thanks.

"Ishimiden is responsible for the Kanmonoban for the main family group. The number of personnel must not be less than 20. The equipment and equipment used by the Monogamban will be paid separately by the family. Please leave this matter to Ishijianden!" After the salary was negotiated, it was natural It was an obligation, and Kira Wansongmaru did not leave him alone, and gave him preferential treatment in terms of supplies and equipment, and then said: "In addition, you must produce ten loyal and brave ninjas to serve as interrogators in your family, and the treatment of these ten people will be the same as that of your horses. All the same!"

"Yes! I'm willing to die loyally for the owner of the museum!" The Hattori family was very excited. The new owner's family was very generous to the Hattori family. The first time they made a move, they were generous. , The Kira family will bear the forage money for the horses, and the Kira family will bear the arrows and weapons used for training. In addition, each person can get three support rice, which is six stones of rice.

Six stones of rice is more than enough to feed a family of three, and these ten people can feed thirty people, which reduces the financial burden of 30 people for Hattori Yasuo at once. It is not impossible to improve living conditions twice.

Jiezhong is a common name for samurai who are guards of the family. General Ashikaga also had a group of Jiezhong to defend the Shogunate Gongfangdian. However, the name of Jiezhong is usually not set up under the shogunate. All of them are samurai who don't have much to do with production. They can only hone their bow and horse skills in peacetime.

It is definitely great news for ninjas to serve as the public servants and receive the same treatment as horse Huizhong. Seeing that the Hattori clan looked a little lost, Kira Wansongmaru gave a very considerate order: "Everyone who came from afar to join the family, you must settle down. Yashiki is the one, Zenjiro! I will leave the settlement of the Hattori clan to you!"

"Yes!" Zenjiro responded, and Hattori Hoshang also thanked the Hattori family repeatedly, and then happily followed Zenjiro to leave Honmaru. They were settled in Shiyashiki, which was originally named Ukukuru and now renamed Sanmaru, including Shiyashiki The entire Saijo Castle was rebuilt by Kansuke Yamamoto.

The Saijo Castle of the Kira family was first built in Hanoi during the era of the third-generation family governor of the Minamoto family, the Ashikaga family. It has been the residence of the Kira family for more than 300 years, and it has roughly maintained the appearance of the original native wooden structure until Kansuke Yamamoto came to the city in the 11th year of Tianwen. It took the Kira family several years to rebuild a Saijo Castle that is closer to the new era, so that the city can glow with new strength.
