Juggler Chozaburo has been having a good time since he moved to Matsumoto-cho, having fled to Ise from the distant mountain country of Shinano, when the dragon of Echigo, Kenshin Uesugi and the tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen, beat Shinano into a pot of porridge.

Although Shinano is a large country, it is a mountain country that does not produce much grain, and the continuous increase in the annual tribute caused the price of rice to continue to rise, and the people are difficult to survive, although Nagasaburo is a merchandiser who is not engaged in agriculture, but it is difficult to survive with food and clothing, so he is not bound by the land, so he fled from Shinano and went out to make a living.

Ever since he came to Matsumoto, Chozaburo has always been proud of his choice, and although Ise has been in turmoil for many years, the scale of the war is not large, and the damage that can be caused is much smaller. In addition, unlike the barren and impoverished mountains of Shinano, the rich city of Ise is a land of fishing and rice, and it is located in all directions, so even in the event of a natural disaster, it can quickly purchase sufficient rice from neighboring countries.

What's more, Minami Ise does not produce powerful daimyo here, and even if the lords are willing to increase the annual tribute, they have to consider the mood of the people and grasp it to an appropriate degree, so it is perfect.

To sum up, the price of rice in Ise has always been at a relatively stable level, and Chozaburo also regards this place as his ideal hometown. You must know that when he was in Shinano, he almost couldn't even eat rice bran, but when he arrived in Ise, he was able to eat one or two rice balls with fragrant plums from time to time, which was something he never thought of before. So Chozaburo, who had only planned to take refuge in Ise, gradually became a little happy, but he didn't expect the good days to end so quickly.

On this day, after getting the reward, Chozaburo was going to buy some rice and miso as usual to treat himself, which was really a rare delicacy for a commoner like him. As long as the thought of the aroma of miso rice in his mind, Nagasaburo couldn't help but drool, and his steps couldn't help but be a little brisk. At this time, he couldn't help but congratulate himself on his original decision, which was unthinkable in Shinano, but things quietly changed today.

"What? Ten Wen!" Chozaburo was immediately frightened by the price of rice quoted by the guys at the rice field house, knowing that in the past, he only needed four yen to buy such a piece of rice, which is the official price of Ise in recent years.

"Have you figured it out?" Holding a rice bowl in one hand, Chozaburo asked untrustworthy: "Is the price of a bowl of rice really ten wen?" Half a month's money is only four dollars a bowl!"

"Who's to say it isn't? However, the boss said that there was a war in Omi this year, and the rice harvest was not good, and he would rather not sell it than increase the price. The guy at the rice field house didn't despise Chozaburo's inquiry, but complained with him a few times, after all, the guy also had to buy rice for cooking.

"Alas, these days are getting harder and harder." The ten-dollar rice Chozaburo couldn't afford to consume, so he had to take the rice bowl and leave to buy other substitutes. However, he was destined to be disappointed, and now the prices of the entire Matsumoto town are rising without interest.

"Eleven!"

"Qiwen!"

"Jiuwen!" ......

Nagasaburo walked from the street to the end of the street, and the shop was not bad for asking, but the money in his pocket was not missing. Miso, salt, rice, and even rice bran, which is rarely chosen even by ordinary people, in short, all the things that are indispensable in daily life have all risen in price, and the increase is not even a little bit, which directly affects the survival of ordinary people. Therefore, although Chozaburo had some money, he didn't buy anything, and his wisdom as a wandering artist made him realize that there might be a bigger computer lurking.

"It seems that I have to go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables to survive, but as for salt and miso, I can't afford not to buy them." Chozaburo walked back to the rented longhouse with a sad face and planned in his heart, but the matter was far from over.

"Chozaburo, Chozaburo." Kihara Shimoyoshi, the owner of the longhouse, was waiting at the door early, and as soon as he saw Chozaburo, he hurriedly called him over.

"Ah, it's Kihara boss! Is there anything wrong with you?" Chozaburo was pulled back from his sorrow, and when he saw that it was Kihara Shimoyoshi, the owner of the longhouse where he lived, he hurriedly greeted him.

Kihara Shimoyoshi looked at Nagasaburo with a somewhat complicated look, he had gotten along well with this entertainer before, but maybe their friendship would end here. However, there were some things he had to do, after all, it was a joint decision of the seven.

"Nagasaburo ......" Kihara Shimoyoshi pondered for a while before saying to Nagasaburo, "I have decided to double the rent for next month. Don't ask why? If you can't accept it, move out of my house. ”

After saying that, Kihara Shimoyoshi turned around and left without question, and Nagasaburo wanted to stop him and ask why, but he didn't open his mouth after all. The originally eight-faced and exquisite person suddenly became so resolute, presumably there must be no room for negotiation, in this case, why embarrass others and themselves. There are also a few long sighs from time to time in the surrounding rooms, and it seems that he is not the only one who has been raised in rent!

"Maybe it's time to leave." Looking around at a loss, Nagasaburo couldn't help but secretly think in his heart that he originally wanted to live in Matsumoto Town for a long time, but now he ......

Chozaburo's story is repeated all over Matsumoto, and this is how Shintaro Kanai uses to bring Matsugami to his knees.

The members of the Council of Seven understand that a good lord will not give up his retainers because of a merchant, but they also understand that there is always an option to sacrifice his retainers when the lord is faced with a choice of interests. This may seem paradoxical, but it is actually very reasonable, when the lords want their retainers to sacrifice, it must be possessive.

If Kanai Shintaro and they directly demanded the disposal of Kawahara Keitai with the death of the oil coat, it would not succeed in any case, and the death of a merchant's daughter would be meaningless to the samurai, and this would even become the capital of Kawahara Keitai to laugh at his leisure. That's why Kanai Shintaro said that if you want to avenge the oil coat, you must first give up avenging him, as long as you can catch Matsukami Yoshimitsu's seven inches, then what can't you do?

Kanai Shintaro knew that Matsugami Yoshimitsu had always wanted to build a rich castle town, which would be an important source of money for his future campaigns. Therefore, Kanai Shintaro chose Matsumoto Town as the battlefield, he wanted to show his power to easily destroy Matsumoto Town like Matsugami Yoshimitsu, and he wanted to show the power of a businessman. At that time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu will definitely give in, and then everything will be easy after that.
