In order to dump the pot for Yoshida Toyo, Naohide promised to invite Yoshida Toyo to participate in Ryoma's apprenticeship, so the next day Naohide took Oguri and others out to visit Toyo's mansion - why did so many people go out together? Of course, it's not just to visit Yoshida, the iris festival is coming, and you need to buy holiday supplies on a large scale.

The calamus festival on the fifth day of the first lunar month, also called "the child offering said", originated from the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, is a major festival recognized by the shogunate, on this day, every household has to hang carp streamers to pray for the boys in the family, but also to eat alverna leaf cake, decorate the calamus to drive away evil spirits, take a hot bath "bath".

In addition to Ryoma, the boys in the private school also have Katsugoro and Falato, and Yingzi is also very attentive - hanging carp streamers also has the meaning of asking for children, although the young couple is newly married, but Yingzi has already planned it, one Ji and two Taro, properly.

The group made a beeline for Obiyamachi, and met a lot of pedestrians on the way—all of them happily preparing for the festival.

Last month, as soon as Naohide arrived in Kochi, he visited Yoshida's mansion to express his "gratitude", but at that time, Yoshida Toyo was still serving in Aki-gun, and he pounced on it, and this time he finally saw the deity - as the prefectural commissioner, Yoshida had to come back to congratulate the lord on the iris festival.

Just as Naohide expected, after the servant took the name thorn and gave it, Yoshida personally went out to greet him this time.

"I haven't seen Zhiyu for a long time, and I think about it from time to time", this kind of "long time no see, I miss it very much", the old-fashioned Yoshida can't say it, and he held it for a long time, only holding back the word "please".

Oguri Tadashun was happy when he saw it, he didn't want to take the opportunity to have a seizure, he wasn't sick, and his father had desperately instilled the concept of the head snake when he went out, he just had never seen the master who was more wooden than himself, "Yes, this trip didn't run in vain."

Naohide and Oguri followed Yoshida into the main hall, and the others had their own courtiers to entertain them.

"Oguri Palace, this is the Yoshida Hall of the Yamauchi family, erudite and talented, both civil and military", because the name thorn only wrote that Naohide brought his friends to worship, so Naohide had to introduce to both sides - Fuso's concept of hierarchy is very strong, and it can only be introduced to those with high status and low status.

When Yoshida heard it, MMP, this pit is digging deeper and deeper, it is a matter of private school permission, and he is embarrassed - the shogunate is a feudal system, and the retainers of the daimyo outside the country hook up with the flag without the permission of the feudal lord, which was a taboo at the time.

The three began to talk awkwardly, and Naohide first explained that he was down-and-out in Tosa last year, but fortunately Yoshida helped him, and Yoshida was very embarrassed - except that the paperwork really didn't help much, but Yoshida had a request for Naohide in private, so he had to deal with it.

Naohide held Ryoma's apprenticeship ceremony at the Calamus Festival and invited Yoshida to watch the ceremony, but Yoshida was going to the castle that day, so Yoshida could not participate and could only congratulate him.

"The foolish disciple is young, and he asks Yoshida-kun to take care of the emergency."

"Yes", Yoshida agreed and took the opportunity to make a request, and he invited Naohide to Anui County to teach agriculture.

It turned out that the agricultural book that Naohide gave to Yoshida last year was only valued this year - when Naohide came to Kochi last year, the autumn harvest was over, and after Yoshida got the agricultural book, he only casually arranged for the "hand generation" to find someone to study.

Later, the shogunate publicly commended Izu Province for its agricultural harvest, and when promoting agriculture, it specifically mentioned "Hori-style agriculture" and "Hori-style rice field carp", and at this time, the shogunate had a leading role in promoting and demonstrating agriculture, and some good things had to be shared with the princes, so Yoshida took the documents from the feudal office and turned them over and studied them carefully.

After reacting, he slapped his thigh, I have seen the person who wrote the book, and he was fooled away at the time, but it's a pity! Finally waited for Naohide to return to Kochi, he was anxious to summon Naohide, and if Naohide didn't come to Yoshida today, he would also ask Naohide to come.

But the development of things is always unexpected.,Naohide's first famous assassin identity is the royal family.,This time the famous assassin left when he just returned to Kochi was an Edo samurai.,But this time the identity of the famous assassin who came to the door was singled out.,Flag Motohori Naohide.。 Because he attaches great importance to Naoxiu, Yoshida read the name very carefully, and he was thundered at that time - this official was promoted too quickly.

Zhixiu had long wanted to go deep into the countryside to make friends with villagers, and finally looked forward to the opportunity, agreed to the invitation, and the two sides made an appointment to set off together after the festival.

After the thing is done, you can finally purchase holiday supplies, carp streamers, quercus leaf cakes, calamus leaves are indispensable, some time ago, the purchase of household use, tidying up the house, making teaching utensils and preparing for classes, lectures, busy and busy, the preparation of the festival dragged on, has been delayed until now.

Kochi Castle Town is not large, not as big as the later Chugoku Prefecture, and it is far less prosperous, and the large shops are concentrated in Honmachisuji 1-chome, similar to the Fuso Bridge in Edo, which is the most prosperous commercial area.

The carp streamer is a hollow carp made of cloth or silk, which is divided into three colors: black, red, and blue, black represents the father, red represents the mother, and blue represents the boy, and the number of blue flags represents the number of boys in the family.

A group of people were picking carp streamers, and suddenly there was a lot of noise outside, and the guys in the store all ran out to see the excitement, and they were idle, and everyone followed Xiaoli out to see the excitement.

When he left the store, he saw a samurai drawing a sword, and Naohide saw three children kneeling opposite, and he quickly stopped.

"Presumptuous!"

"Bastard, who's talking."

The fierce gaze of the samurai came, and the surrounding crowd hurriedly dispersed, and he saw the leader Oguri at a glance, and the kapok clothes that Oguri was specially wearing for a private visit, but he was a big man at a glance, not to mention that the two dog-legged Zangba and Quan Roku had already jumped out with knives - these two guys were specially selected guards, and their bodies were very sturdy, although they were a little shorter, they were horizontal, and they were about to start cutting people when Oguri spoke.

Naohide rejects this custom of samurai using swords in the street, and it's not about Oguri, it's his own insistence, so he hurried out.

"Fool, have you forgotten how you promised your adults last time?!" The six-foot-tall Naohide became serious and very oppressive, and the two attendants of the samurai with the sword hurriedly stepped forward to hold the master.

There was a merchant among the kneeling people, and when he saw that the situation had taken a turn for the better, he quickly got up and explained the reason to Oguri: it turned out that a child ran to the steamed bun shop he opened to steal food, and was discovered by his son Nagajiro, and after Nagajiro chased him out, the child who stole the steamed bun knocked down the child of a villager who was passing by, and Ashigaru, who brought the child to buy something, was furious and joined the pursuit, but the thief who stole the steamed bun hit the sergeant's body again, and the sergeant drew his sword to teach everyone a lesson.

The merchant said that it is important to avoid the light, and now the civilians are rude to ram the samurai, and the samurai can teach civilians a lesson, but Naohide feels that this "sergeant" is a bit of a fuss, and he is preparing to cut people when he draws his sword, right? He saw that among the kneeling people there was also a knife with a knife, probably the villager who had been knocked down by the child, and the other children were crying in fright, and the scene was very ugly.

"Leave a few people to accompany me to the office", Naohide said, and the crowd immediately dispersed - if they died, they would not enter the office, and how could merchants and commoners dare to participate in the dispute with the samurai master.

"Down there's the Imperial Flag Honbori Naohide, and it's unsightly on the street, so ——, tell me about something in the steamed bun shop."

After Naohide revealed his identity, the unconvinced sword-wielding samurai was also honest, and there were too many people, so Naohide let the samurai and Ashigaru enter the steamed bun shop, and Oguri followed in quietly.

The manju shop is not big, and there are no chairs at this time, so the owner of the manju shop borrows three wooden barrels, and Naohide, Oguri, and samurai sit down, and Ashigaru honestly kneels to the side.

"Your Excellency is extraordinary, and you have a great name", Naohide first appeased the samurai.

"Down there, Yamada Tadabei Hiroe, a samurai of the Yamauchi family", Yamada looked at Naohide and treated him politely, and he no longer looked angry.

"It's really not like a commoner", Naohide has no position to participate in the internal affairs of the Tosa Domain, but if Naohide mentions this matter to the head of the Yamauchi family, maybe Yamada will also be scolded and punished for barbarism, after all, pulling out a sword in front of Hagimoto is a big or small matter, and it is not impossible to say that it is a loss of face for the Yamauchi family.

Naohide asked a few children and adults to apologize to Yamada, and the owner of the steamed bun shop also took out an apology, but Yamada was embarrassed to ask for it, so he asked Naohide where he was staying and left.

As soon as Yamada left, the ashigaru Yoshihei Okada, who was knocked down by the child, gave his son a big slap in the face, and Naohide rolled his eyes when he saw it.

"Okada-kun—"

"The villain is here."

Naohide asked about Okada's situation, and he claimed that he had brought his children to the castle town to buy carp streamers for the holidays, but he didn't expect to encounter this incident and collide with the sergeant.

Oguri Tadashun on the side couldn't hold it back for a long time, and he asked Okada why he knelt in the mud without him, and Okada said something in a hurry, leaving Oguri dumbfounded.

Originally, "unreasonable bargaining" was a privilege of the samurai, and the samurai could draw their swords and cut down civilians who offended unreasonably. However, the Yamauchi family was even more excessive, because it was an outsider, so it was more severe for the junior samurai, stipulating that the junior samurai who rebelled would not be held accountable even if they were executed on the spot by the sergeant.

This regulation was originally aimed at the retainers "villagers" left over from the original Changzong and my clan in Hongo, and they were afraid that the villagers would usually find fault and provoke.

But over the years, the Yamauchi family has been strict in frugality, and the income of the samurai has also been affected, and the feudal government has used the method of "half-knowledge" and "subtraction" to deduct the rice, which has caused the direct samurai of the Yamauchi family to also hold back the fire, especially in the past two years, the Tosa clan has changed the new head of the family, and the thirteenth feudal lord Yamauchi Toyoshi has used the tiger fish group to implement reforms, which has been generally resisted by the conservative retainers, and the castle corporal of Kochi Castle vented his anger on the lower-level samurai and civilians, and there are more and more samurai who draw swords in the street, and now they have become the sergeant who provokes the villagers when he has nothing to do.

Okada is a rough man, and he doesn't know much about it, but he stumbles and makes the meaning clear, and Naohide explains the details to Oguri, who has been clothed and fed since birth, and he knows that the murder of Tenpo is very powerful, and Edo has been depressed for a long time, and it is said that the farmers starved to death a lot, but he didn't understand the impact on the whole society at all, and he never thought that there was such a thing as a samurai being angry with people, and he was immediately silent after hearing it.

Naohide can't take care of the fragmentation of Oguri's three views for the time being, anyway, it will be shattered sooner or later - all kinds of tosses at the end of the curtain, it is better to break early than to break late. Hearing the name Okada Yoshihei, he was shocked, and quickly called the child of the villager into the steamed bun shop to ask for the name, God bless it is "Yizang", Xiang Imijun Iwamura, can't be wrong, this skinny little child is the four major people at the end of the shogunate Okada Yizang Xuanzhen!
