After the game, Asahina Taehyung held a feast at Asahina's mansion, declaring that as long as he shouted to Asahina's family, he could come to drink and eat until he was full. However, Yu Qiuping doesn't like to drink, and in his previous life, he still remembers how his father got drunk and crazy several times. Therefore, he tried not to drink as much as possible, and soon slipped back to the castle tower.

As soon as I opened the door, a faint fragrance of camellia was refreshing.

"Feng'er?" Yu Qiuping asked softly, but no one responded. He closed the door behind his back, and after taking a few steps inside, he saw Kaede Imagawa lying on the bed where Yu Qiuping was sleeping, sleeping sweetly.

"This little girl, why do you love to sleep so much." Yu Qiuping laughed, bent down, shaved her little nose dotingly, and helped her cover the quilt.

After a while, Imagawa Kaede woke up from his dream with a whisper, only to find that Yu Qiuhei had already returned to the house, sitting in his seat, looking at him with a smile.

"Huh? Why so early. Imagawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, "Isn't Prince Taehyung putting on a big feast?" ”

"I don't like to drink," Yu Qiuping frowned, "It's not good for your health, and it hurts your brain when you're drunk." ”

"It's all heresy again." Kaede Imagawa shook his head, "This time," the girl's voice suddenly softened, "I'm here to ask you a question." ”

"What?" Yu Qiuping poured a cup of tea and sent it to Imagawa Kaede.

"Ping's birthday... When is it? Imagawa Kaede smiled.

"Uh... Why do you ask this? Yu Qiuping frowned and thought about it, he used to live on December 10 on the Gregorian calendar, but now if he wants to convert to this calendar, it should be around October...

Forget it, Yu Qiuping gave up the idea of conversion, "The tenth day of the lunar month." "Just think you've lived two more months.

"Huh! Is it so close? Imagawa Kaede's face tightened.

"What's wrong?" Yu Qiuping asked curiously.

"It's nothing," Kaede Imagawa lowered his head and shyly twisted the edge of his clothes. "That's right!" Imagawa Kaede suddenly raised his head and diverted the topic, "Jia Yan seems to have said to His Royal Highness Yuzhou in the morning that the craftsmen who are looking for Ping have arrived. ”

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou? Who is it? "Yu Qiuping doesn't remember such a person.

"It's His Royal Highness Sena, Uncle Shijun. His official position is Iyomori. Kaede Imagawa explained.

"It's just... Iyo Province, one of the 66 countries of Japan? But isn't it on the island of Shikoku? Why was the official position given to His Highness Sena? Yu Qiuping asked confusedly.

"Uh... This is very complicated, I'm afraid it can't be explained clearly in a few words, guarding and guarding are still different, this is the difference between official position and service. One was given by His Majesty the Emperor, and the other was given by General Seiyi. Imagawa Kaede smiled bitterly, "Ping may not know, but now in this world, there may be hundreds of people who can call themselves Izumo Mamoru." ”

"Ahh Can so many people hold one official position? Yu Qiuping asked.

"No, as long as someone's ancestor has held an official position, his descendants can always use this official position to call themselves. As for the question of regional differences... It's been around for a long time anyway. Imagawa Kaede tilted his head, not knowing how to explain to Yu Qiuping.

Yu Qiuping thought about it carefully, it seems that Hashiba Hideyoshi once called Chikuzen Mamoru and Akechi Mitsuhide called Hinata Mamoru, these are also official positions in the Kyushu region, but at that time the Oda family controlled. Another example is the righteous general Asai Nagamasa, whom Yu Qiuping has always liked in his previous life, obviously controls Omi, but his official position is to prepare for the front.

After dinner, Yu Qiuping went to Imagawa Yoshimoto to ask the craftsman questions. With a wave of his hand, Imagawa Yoshimoto handed over the twenty deeds of sale to Yu Qiuping. Let him return to the territory early the day after tomorrow after attending the assessment meeting.

"After that, I won't send you too many tasks for the time being, you can follow Sena to get familiar with government affairs, and you will have time to go back to the territory to have a look." Imagawa Yoshimoto said to Yu Qiuping while playing with the Chidori incense burner.

"The Great Hall, why are these craftsmen also slaves?" Yu Qiuping asked puzzled.

"Huh? Isn't it the same in the Ming Kingdom? Imagawa Yoshimoto raised his eyebrows, "Most of these lowly occupations are inherited from generation to generation." Artisans were not even as good as peasants, they were not qualified to join the army, and they did not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and become samurai. ”

"Are there any free craftsmen?" Yu Qiuping asked again.

"Yes, yes." Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded, and then glanced at Yuqiuping suspiciously, "Yuqiu, you kid is very strange." Why it seems that it is not the people of our time, a lot of common sense does not know. ”

"Were you really from the Ming Kingdom before?" Imagawa Yoshimoto sarcastically said, but did not delve into it, and sent Yu Qiuping away with a smile, and then, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Early the next morning, after Yu Qiuping finished training, he took Fukushima Anari and a few of them to pick up people. He took the deed of sale and took twenty families of craftsmen from the master of the craftsman's household. said that it was a household, because these twenty craftsmen were all dragged by their families. None of the craftsmen were samurai and did not have their own surnames. The leader is called Hanamaru, who is a little thin and small, probably in his twenties, but he is a little hunched over because of his long-term work. At this moment, these dozens of people are kneeling down in front of Yuqiu and others.

"Your name is Hanamaru?" Yu Qiuping squatted down slightly and asked the person in charge.

"If you go back to the adult, the villain will be called Hanamaru." Hanamaru replied.

"Rise first, all of you." Yu Qiuping raised his hand and motioned for everyone not to kneel.

"Okay~." Hanamaru replied in a somewhat cute tone, and without much humility, he stood up directly. However, there were dozens of other people, but none of them dared to get up, and generally said something like "don't dare, don't dare".

Yu Qiuping looked at the funny scene of a person standing in front of him and dozens of people kneeling, and suddenly laughed.

"Hanamaru, you're good." Yu Qiuping smiled and patted Hanamaru's shoulder, then took out twenty deeds of sale from his arms, and in front of dozens of people, several handfuls were torn to pieces.

"I declare, you are all free people, and you are all the people of my Yuqiu family!" Yu Qiuping said loudly. Dozens of people heard the sound of tearing paper, and raised their heads blankly, only to see that the deed of sale that had plagued them all their lives had been torn to pieces.

"Now I command you, all of you, get up!" Yu Qiuping shouted.

Dozens of people stood up flattered, looking in disbelief at the scraps of paper that had been thrown on the ground. Hanamaru looked at Yu Qiuping's smile, his mouth suddenly trembled, he was the first to stand up just now, and now he was the first to kneel down and kowtow to Yu Qiuping a few times. Dozens of people in the back also knelt down one after another.

"Adults are very kind, and adults live a long life!" The vulgar craftsmen racked their brains to search for their few words, wanting to express their gratitude to Yu Qiuping.

"Don't kowtow, get up!" Yu Qiuping said in a deep voice, looking at the people who stood up again, Yu Qiuping looked around and found that Fukushima Yasunari and the others behind him were a little excited, "You are all free people, and free people will never kneel at will and belittle their dignity." You should all stand up and stand like you all like Hanamaru! ”

"I forgive you now because I hope you can live confidently, work hard, and fight for your own life." Yu Qiuping pointed to the dozen or so people behind him, "They are the same as you, they were humble slaves dozens of days ago. But with their bravery and struggle, they proved that they were all great soldiers! Four of them have gone from slaves to samurai! ”

Yu Qiuping's words caused an exclamation from the craftsmen, but the ashigaru behind him laughed proudly. "I promise you," said Yu Qiuping, "that as long as you are willing to work hard, I will guarantee that you will be able to support yourself without worrying about food and clothing, and those who have made meritorious contributions can even become samurai!" ”

During the lunch break, Yu Qiuping asked the guards to settle these craftsmen, and returned to the territory together in the evening, so that they could start producing the sufficiency, spears, bows and arrows that Yu Qiuping needed. At noon, Yu Qiuping took Honda Nabenosuke to a hotel in the city for dinner.

"What do you want to eat?" Yu Qiuping asked with a pleasant face. This hotel is the largest hotel in Sunpu Castle, and there is a wide variety of menus behind the front desk, and at first glance only the literate samurai class can come here to consume their money.

Honda Nabenosuke doesn't have the liveliness and greediness that a boy of this age should have, and there is still no fluctuation on his face, and he is a little bit of a trend towards Amano Keitoku's facial paralysis.

"Millet porridge is fine." Honda Nabenosuke said, but his childish voice was deliberately stretched out by him with a majestic appearance.

"Millet porridge?" Yu Qiuping shook his head, "This is not good, when you are still growing your body, you have to eat something of the same." Yu Qiuping beckoned as he spoke, "Boss, is there beef here?" ”

"Your Excellency." Honda Nabenosuke's brow furrowed, "Beef is filthy, and we samurai should not eat it." ”

"Huh! Nabenosuke! Beef can grow the body, grow muscles, and become strong! Yu Qiuping explained, but Honda Nabenosuke still had an expression of not eating oil and salt. Yu Qiuping remembered that in his previous life, he had seen some historical surveys, which said that although Honda Tadakatsu was Japan's No. 1 fierce general, he was very short, and it must have been due to malnutrition when he was a child. He smiled slightly, and thought of a way.

"Didn't Nabenosuke say that he wanted to become a great samurai?" Yu Qiuping guided with a smile.

"That's right." Nabenosuke nodded.

"Does a great samurai have to be strong and powerful to go into battle and kill the enemy?" Yu Qiuping asked again.

"No... Wrong. Nabinosuke nodded again, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"However, Nabenosuke is still very thin and small, and he must eat more meat to become powerful and strong!" Yu Qiuping didn't wait for Nabenosuke to refute, so he said here: "Nabenosuke, does Nabenosuke want to go against Lingzun's expectations of you just because the beef is dirty!" Don't you want to be a great samurai? ”

Yu Qiuping's online platform made Nabe Nosuke stunned in place, and he was simple-minded, and he didn't find anything wrong with logic for a while. So Yu Qiuping waved his hand and asked the shopkeeper to cut the beef for two.

The two of them found a seat and waited for the food to be served. Nabe Nosuke still frowned, trying to think about the problem in Yu Qiuping's words, but found nothing. Yu Qiuping found in his afterglow that the person sitting in the seat next to him seemed to be the little man Opei Sadaji who reminded him of the etiquette norms at that time. He was eating fried rice by himself, admiring the view from the window.

Yu Qiuping was just about to say hello when he saw a few people coming in at the door. Headed by Okabe Masatsuna. The latter glanced around, as if he had taken a fancy to Okuhira Sadakichi's seat, and walked straight over, throwing the rib cha on the table, making a violent banging sound.
