The people who came to take refuge in an emergency were finally received after being hung for a whole day and a night, and at this time, Hirata Honhide was already talking and laughing with Dr. Yasuda Terada, Shigeharu Matsuyama, Kasai Naganshin and other people who "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe obedient wealthy clan led by the Swuma Ren Shi Irido also sat down peacefully.

Of course, the grass on the wall can't be treated like a person who knows the times, otherwise who will be willing to surrender in the future? Although there may be no difference in the discipline values of the two sides.

In the face of people like Terada, who actively betrayed his old colleagues, Fan Xiu and his face were pleasant: "The world is undecided, it is the time to employ people, I think you still have a lot to do, Doctor An, don't be satisfied with these 6,000 stones!" ”

In the face of people who took the initiative to subdue such as Marsh and Danlun, Fan Xiu comforted: "You are well aware of the righteousness and have played a key role in the stability of Izumi, and I hereby express my approval. I hope that I will follow my own family law in the future. ”

As for the wall-top grass such as Jinmu and Dalu, he just glanced sideways, waved his hand and ordered: "Sit down!" ”

As the seat of a country, the Imperial Pavilion of Kishiwada Castle is very spacious, and it is still very sparse when it falls on dozens of people. Almost all of the people present were from the Izumi Kingdom, and there were only a few retainers who were in the tie.

Seeing this lineup, everyone can naturally understand the topic, and their eyes can't help but burn, and they are worried or excited.

There is already a rough draft of the division of knowledge and action in the Izumi Kingdom, which has spread in the ears of thousands of people in the city, but the rough draft and the official version cannot replace each other after all. If you don't get the reward, you will always be a little worried, and it is inevitable that there will be luck if the punishment does not fall on you.

The first sentence of the opening sentence of the tie show also confirmed their conjecture.

"As a local guardian, my first priority is to measure the land and determine the division between knowledge and action. I have already explained this matter to several commissioners and started to do it, and all the gentlemen here can cooperate. ”

"Yes."

The rabble below rarely answered in unison. But it's also because the matter has attracted too much attention, and everyone doesn't dare to come out, and Baba looks down at the guardian generation.

Normally, the flat hand is like to quote the classics first, adjust the atmosphere, and say a seemingly meaningless but seemingly meaningful greeting, before gradually getting to the point.

But when I communicated with Terada and Numma just now, I found that the other party's knowledge and conversation were very mediocre, and my brain didn't turn very fast, so I simply changed the way of direct dialogue.

Fan Xiu took a stack of papers from the hand of the flat hand Xiuyin next to him, and continued:

"Everyone's knowledge, I have probably made arrangements. It's always hard for everyone to be satisfied with this kind of thing, but the family has its own laws here, and it can't be easily changed. ”

After emphasizing it, he opened the paper, glanced at it twice, and said:

"A rough number, I am sure you have heard of it in private, so I will not repeat it. As long as the results of the next land inspection do not deviate much, there will be no change in your Zhixing Shigao. But if the concealment of the land population is thoroughly investigated......"

Fan Xiu didn't say a plan to deal with it, but his eyes swept over, and everyone couldn't help but shudder, and they all said that there would never be such a thing.

"It's better that there is no such thing." He paused for a moment and then said, "In addition, in order to facilitate management, I have temporarily appointed Terada, Numa, Tamawa, and Manabe as the four bannerheads of the country, and they have jurisdiction over the wealthy clans of each county. If they need to fight, these four people need to mobilize corresponding troops from their respective jurisdictions and form a reserve. ”

When it came to the question of fighting, Fan Xiu deliberately paused for a moment, and the audience looked different as he expected.

The rise of the so-called "kunin" came after the decline of the Muromachi shogunate. With the loss of power of the leaders and guardians, the countrymen gradually achieved a similar independent status. In the Warring States period, many people became widely recognized daimyos, but many were forced to submit to the daimyo and provide taxes and military service.

In this process, it is easy to have various frictions between the daimyo and the countrymen.

In the eyes of the Daimyo, the people of the country occupied the land, but they were far less reliable than the retainers of the Spectrum Dynasty, there was not much oil and water that could be squeezed, and the combat effectiveness of the troops was low, which was really an eyesore.

But in the eyes of the people, it is already very humiliating to be reluctant to obey, and the gains and losses of fighting for the daimyo are really outweighed by the losses, and as a miscellaneous card, they often only have the life of the war loss and do not reward the land.

For example, Wasuka Koroku at the junction of Owari Mino, when the rule of the two kingdoms was relatively loose, his "Kawa Nami" was very free and free. But once both Oda and Sato began to be strict, he was forced to have no place to stand.

The situation of Hequan is even more special, the economy here is developed, and as long as the wealthy people live in peace, they can live a well-off life with abundant food and clothing, so they are more desperate than ordinary people, and they are more reluctant to take on military service to fight.

Of course, there are a few people who are not afraid of death, but these people have followed Sungoro Matsuura, and they are now lying in the prison in the city!

Today, the tie showed that the matter was raised, and everyone was naturally in a complicated mood.

As soon as Sungoro Matsuura died, the wealthy clan without a backbone was temporarily unable to resist various demands. But if the tie is too mean, the future dissatisfaction can be imagined.

Fan Xiu felt everyone's worried eyes, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in her heart. But then he suppressed it again, and said slowly:

"The general requirement of the Oda family is that except for guarding the border or holding official positions, other retainers must be on duty under the castle most of the year, and must not return to their fiefdoms without authorization."

As soon as these words came out, the people of the country were terrified.

This would be tantamount to cutting them off from the peasants and depriving them of their independence, which would provoke violent resentment.

What's the use of a little sesame-sized territory of independence?

In this era, most of the aspiring and well-seen people chose to actively integrate into the daimyo system, and although they lost their independence, they were able to occupy a high position in the daimyo family, and as long as they actively participated in national politics, the benefits always outweighed the disadvantages. Once you achieve the position of the elderly, it will definitely be far better than running the one-third of an acre of land at home. Even when things change in the world, he can take the place of the lord and the king. This is how the first two generations of the Oda family governors rose.

However, no matter what time and space it is, there are many mediocre people who always can't see the situation clearly and don't have a long-term vision.

Therefore, the wealthy families of Hequan are reluctant to give up their independent status and become ordinary retainers.

The atmosphere was a little depressing for a while, and only the number one "Izumi traitor" Terada was eager to try and was ready to jump out to show his loyalty.

But the tie turned his mouth again:

"This is the family's request for the retainers of the two countries, and Izumi also has 'national conditions' here after all, and it may not be appropriate to blindly copy it."

The air in the room suddenly loosened again.

As if they had experienced a roller coaster, they couldn't help but want to sing their praises, touting the foresight and benevolence of the equal-handed superintendents.

It's just that they didn't have time to react at all, and Fan Xiu spoke again:

"But after all, everyone is a warrior, and making contributions with bows and horses is the right way. Led by the above-mentioned four people, Terada, Numa, Awawa, and Manabe, I intend to set up an additional army composed of "Izumi Shinsen". Whoever is listed here is not always on standby at the city, but he must always be ready to go on the expedition. If the conquest delays farming, it will be compensated. Of course, whether you want to make it up or not depends on your personal wishes. ”

New Joiners, as the name suggests, refers to people who have recently joined. In the laws of each great name, they often have different powers and responsibilities from the retainers of the lineage. Generally speaking, the treatment is not as good as that of the retainers.

However, everyone is from a newcomer, and they can't bear this pressure, how can they be promoted to the ranks of the high-powered family veterans?

Therefore, as soon as the words fell, Dr. Terada couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly kowtowed and shouted:

"In Shimoterada Yasuda, I am willing to fight as a new senator under the command of the Taute Warden!"

The image was immediately met with a circle of contempt.

Terada didn't care about anything else, just looked at the supervisor in the upper seat nodding and smiling, and knew that his goal had been achieved.

Immediately afterwards, the above-mentioned marsh, katama, manabe, and so on opened their mouths to express their obedience to the order. This is also expected by everyone, and being able to be ordered as the flag leader means that they must have communicated privately with the tie Tsuno.

Under this drive, 178 more Chinese people who had no objection to military service came forward.

But that's the end of it. More than half of them didn't say anything, just made eye contact with each other.

Dr. Terada Yasudai stared fiercely at the left and right, making a look of threat, but was stopped by Hite:

"Don't have any worries! If there is any difficulty, you can say it clearly, and I won't force it. ”

After these words, at last an old man in plain clothes bowed down and said:

"Thank you, Lord Supervisor, for your kindness! In fact, it's not that the old man doesn't want to serve you, the Oda Palace, and the princess, it's really ...... He was too old to ride a horse or hold a knife...... The old and decrepit only sons are all gone early, and now the two grandchildren left behind are less than ten years old, and they are also powerless......"

Looking at the old man's trembling appearance, what he said didn't seem to be a lie.

In a daimyo's family with strict laws, under normal circumstances, they will quickly adopt a righteous son, or let their grandson serve in advance, otherwise the status of the family will be seriously shaken.

The old information was turned out from the side. This old man's name is Tajime Juzaemon, and he is a relatively peaceful and early surrendered wealthy family (this situation cannot be restless), and it is estimated that the territory is only about 600 koku. During the reign of Miyoshi, he was required to provide military service for one samurai on horseback and thirty on ashigaru.

Izumi's war horses are not cheap, and it is impossible for other retainers under him to afford horses, and it is impossible to say whether he has official retainers or not, so this "samurai on horseback" can only be himself or his heir.

The old man with white hair may be able to make a living as a staff officer, but it is really impossible to charge ahead.

"It's really inappropriate." Fan Xiu nodded unconsciously and made an expression of approval, "It is difficult for such an old man to fight, I think military service will be exempted, how about compensating in other forms?" ”

Those who had not been willing to fight in the past looked at it expectantly, wondering what this "other form" meant.

And the tie Hoshu explained with a smile:

"Originally, the condition for the recognition of the security received was the provision of military service. If you can't participate in the battle for various reasons, then use money instead of service! Like the Tian Zhimi family just now, if you hand over forty percent of the real estate every year, you can be exempted from all military service. In the future, if the children and grandchildren reach the age of majority, it is up to them to decide whether they want to change to military service. Well, how about this tax called the 'shield tax'? No, isn't it, Fuso doesn't use shields much, so why don't you call it 'Taidao Tax'? But it sounds weird...... Let's just call it 'exempt from military service'......"

Except for the last paragraph, which I don't know about the so-called self-talk, this proposal surprised the people of the country, but they immediately had no time to worry about whether it was reasonable or not, and began to calculate the number "forty percent".

The people themselves did not grow much food, but collected taxes from the peasants under their domains. According to the standard of five princes and five people, you can get half of the harvest in the territory. But if you want to hand over 40%, it is equivalent to only 10% in hand.

However, it is tempting not to have to undertake military service...... This needs to be calculated.

In the case of the old man of Tajime Juzaemon, if he chooses to pay taxes in the 600-stone territory, he can only leave 30 koku rice every year, which can be exchanged for more than 20 koku-kin silver according to the price of Izumi grain.

It may seem like a small amount, but there is no need to mobilize the ashigaru or buy weapons, and the money is enough for their father and ancestor to live on, and to hire a few servants. Maybe life will be much better than it is now.

And in this way, if you don't have to worry about going out of battle, you can stay in the territory all the time, and won't you be able to keep your independence?

The old man didn't hesitate, and immediately fell to his knees and shouted:

"The villain is willing to pay taxes for servitude, thank you for the grace of the prisoner!"

"Don't you dare to bother such a long-lived elder, please get up!" Hisho Honshu smiled and made a kind and courteous appearance, taking advantage of the fact that the group was still hesitating, and further added:

"Ah, in fact, there is no need to dwell on the ratio of 'forty percent'. You can also choose to provide half of the amount of military service, and then pay the 'exemption tax' of two pieces of land property, which is also possible. In short, if you don't send enough troops, you can make up for it by paying taxes, how much you are missing, how much you make up, there is no problem with three or seven openings, four or six openings, choose for yourself. The exact number will be calculated by the commissioner after the land seizure. If you can't decide whether you want to pay the money or send troops, you can go back and discuss it and report here within this month. ”

For a while, I could see that many people were moved.

The majority of the people of the country do not like to fight, but they do not like to fight for the daimyo. However, it cannot be ruled out that a small number of Chinese people are really reluctant to wield knives and guns.

This is rare in the typical Kanto region of Owari and Mino, but it is different from Izumi. It is very close to Kyoto, Nara and Kaimachi, the people are relatively wealthy, the commercial atmosphere is very strong, and it has always attached more importance to culture and education, and many of the children of wealthy families like poetry or business more than the way of arching horses.

The policy of the tie was just right for these people to gradually break away from their samurai status and transform into small landlords who did not control military power and specialized in collecting rents.

On the other hand, some people who are interested in fighting for fame and fortune on the battlefield are incorporated into the "Izumi New Senzhong" and transferred them out of their skills for a long time by means of the war. After severing their strong connection with the land and the land, they gradually became professional samurai.

In this way, the "separation of soldiers and peasants" can be achieved by a flexible means. Judging from the current situation, because the people of the country are allowed to choose the proportion freely, it has not caused much disgust for the time being.

Of course, today's event is only the first step. In the future, there will be a series of measures to gradually make the "national people", a class that is behind the times, die out in the territory of the flat family and no longer appear.
