Chapter 70: Restoration of Mozen Town
After listening to Kakukura's conversation, Burning Sky immediately got up and bowed his head to Kakukura and said, "Thank you very much for your help, it's getting late, so I won't bother with Shichiro anymore." ”
After listening to the words of the burning sky, Kakukura said with a smile: "Since they have all invited Mingshamen, how can they let Mingshamen go out at night again, and the two of you will stay in the cold house." ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky excused himself and said, "I still have a subordinate waiting near the Yoshioka Dojo, and it is still inconvenient to stay at Shichiro's house." ”
After hearing this, Kakukura said to the burning sky: "What's so difficult about this, I'll send someone to find it." ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky saluted and said, "I'm going to trouble Shichiro again, Ichichi You'll help you go with them and bring Meijiro." ”
After that, Ichisuke went out with the attendants of the Kakukura family, and then Kakukura said to the burning sky: "When will Mingshamen return to Anyang Temple?" After learning that the burning sky would return to Anyangji Temple tomorrow, Kakukura said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to escort 500 Kan to Anyangji Temple, and the day after tomorrow I will gather carpenters to assist in the construction of the temple by Meishamon." ”
Burning Sky thanked Kakukura again, and then said goodbye to Kakukura to return to the house to rest. After a while, Fushiwa Akijiro was also brought back, and the three of them exchanged a few words briefly, and then went to sleep.
The next day, the three of them bid farewell to Kakukura, and they first asked Ichisuke Right to pretend to be a monk and carry a letter of his own to the Kyoto office and hand it over to Murai Sadakatsu; He also asked Fushiwa Akijiro to take one of his identical letters to Akechi Mitsuhide in Sakamoto Castle, while he waited for Right Ichisuke outside Kyoto Town first. After waiting for a while, he and Youkasuke joined up at Kyoto Town and headed towards Anyangji Temple.
Two days later, the three arrived at Anyangji Temple, and at this time, outside Anyangji Temple, as well as the surrounding townspeople and villagers from other villages, gathered one after another. Hui Ji sat cross-legged on a simple wooden platform, using his own popular language, translating some esoteric Buddhism into words that these illiterate peasants could understand. Burning Sky looked at the crowd that had already gathered in the town, and his belief in the development of Anyangji Town was strengthened.
After Huiji finished speaking, he walked to the wooden platform and said to the people below, "I have decided to rebuild the town of Anyangji, and I will pay for the construction of the town, and all the men of the townspeople of Anyangji between the ages of fifteen and fifty will serve in labor to participate in the construction!" ”
After hearing the words of the burning of the air, the townspeople of Anyangji Town immediately exploded, and some of them said to the burning air: "I have no opinion on rebuilding the town of Anyangji Town, but I am afraid that the huge amount of money required will be difficult for you to bear, and in the end, it will fall on us and others..."
"Shut up!" Fushiwa Meijiro took out the sword at his waist and shouted at the shouting townspeople, and then reprimanded: "The lord is still speaking, you subordinates don't intervene, just bring your ears!" ”
Fushiwa Akijiro's heh, not only the townspeople were frightened, but even the burning sky was also frightened. Burning Sky then reacted and said to the townspeople of Anyangji Town, "As I said, I will pay for the construction, and you only need to participate in labor. ”
After that, Burning Sky said to Hui Ji, "Master, please continue. After hearing this, Hui Ji folded his hands in the sky and said, "The lord of the council still posted a notice, so that the townspeople can rest assured." ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky smiled and thanked him, and returned to Anyang Temple with Fushiwa Akijiro and Right Ichisuke.
On the way, Fushiwa Meijiro said to the burning sky: "Lord, if those townspeople are down-to-earth and hardworking, they will never be so broken for the benefit of Anyangji Town, if the lord blindly tolerates them, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the lord at that time!" ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky said with a smile: "In the world of war, everyone's life is not easy, and the population is particularly important in the troubled times, and they are currently being used to build Anyangji Town, and after attracting a large number of people, depending on the situation, I will send you two another sentence, 'Destroy a person, start with conniving with him.'" Okay, go get ready, maybe tomorrow the five hundred kan with Shichiro will arrive. ”
Later, he wrote a letter to Oda Nobutada, hoping that Oda Nobutada would send someone to send over the 100 Kaneira Eigaku Treasure that Oda Nobunaga had rewarded. Ichisuke on the right and Akijiro Fushiba were in the town and surrounding villages to announce that the town was going to be rebuilt, and the farmers in the villages who were still in the slack period for a while were moved to get some extra income from the construction of the town of Anyangji.
With the arrival of Kakukura's 500 kan, the funds available to him increased, and since the roads near Anyangji Temple were narrow and dilapidated, he was ready to use some money to repair the roads connecting the main roads and villages nearby. However, in this way, the land servants of the nearby villages had to communicate, so accompanied by Azuchi Aemon, the land guards of several nearby villages were persuaded one by one, and the nearby land officials also mobilized the farmers in the territory to help the fire repair the road.
On the one hand, it used a large number of nearby farmers to participate in the construction of Anyangji Town at a high price, and on the other hand, it posted notices of the use of itinerant samurai in other nearby towns. These two indirectly led to the people around knowing the news of the reconstruction of Anyangji Town, and people from all walks of life smelled a glimmer of business opportunities from it, and gradually the surrounding people began to gather towards Anyangji Town.
The branch of Kakukura also brought a variety of low- and medium-priced goods to the Anyangji Town, which had not yet been built, and people only bought some goods when they went to Kyoto on weekdays, but now they can buy them in Anyangji Town, and the price is almost the same as the price of Kyoto Town (there must be a price difference, otherwise the merchants will have no jobs), and for a time the people of Gamo County who heard the news rushed to Anyangji Town.
The burning sky is not idle, and every day the burning sky has to screen the identities and martial arts of the wandering samurai who came to defect, including the samurai of the Asai family, who has just perished. Although there were more than 100 samurai who defected to the burning sky, more than 80 were wiped out in the contest with Fushiwa Akijiro. The remaining part of the people left directly with their equipment after hearing that there was still a month of testing period, and in the end, the remaining twenty-one people were temporarily returned to Burning Sky's subordinates with a month's usual copper coins and two support rice.
At this time, the safety of Anyang Temple has been temporarily guaranteed, and the burning of the sky does not have to trouble the peasants and soldiers of Antu Village to maintain order. Everything is developing in the direction of the Burning Sky Plan, and the money in the hands of the Burning Sky is also decreasing at a visible rate, especially in order to continue to attract the people around the Burning Space, he directly invited a group of ape musicians from Kyomachi to perform outside the Anyang Temple.
For a time, the people of several prefectures in Minami-Omi and even the samurai family gathered to Anyangji Town, and in the face of more and more crowds, the security of Anyangji Town was facing more and more challenges. Moreover, according to Fushiwa Akijiro's report, the townspeople of Anyangji Town would gather in a person's house every day after completing their labor, which made Kinkong smell a hint of unease.
