Yuzu Yukihide and Yamaguchi Changjiao were confused by the waiter, and Yukazu Yukihide was the first to react, and hurriedly grabbed the waiter, and said eagerly, "We didn't ask for wine, please take it back." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" After speaking, Yukihide Hazu couldn't help but lick his lips. The two of them had no money left, and Yuzu Yukihide had nothing on him except for a famous family knife, and the two of them planned to sit in the sake house for a while and leave, but they didn't think about coming to the pot of wine to drink. For the two of them now, a pot of wine is too luxurious.

However, after hearing Hazu Yukihide's words, the waiter smiled and said to Hazu Yukihide and Yamaguchi Nagakyo, "The two of you are ronins who came to the Tsugawa family to participate in the Ashigaru selection, right?" Our boss, Heiate-sama, said that all the guests at our restaurant, if there is a ronin who goes to Tsugawa's house to participate in the Ashigaru selection, they can be served a pot of sake for free as a token of appreciation. ”

"Ashigaru selection?" Yukihide Hazu and Yamaguchi Nagakyo looked at each other and looked at the waiter for some reason.

Then Yamaguchi Nagakyo said eagerly to the waiter, "Dare to ask, what is this Ashigaru selection?" Where can I participate? ”

"Don't you know? Aren't you here to participate in the Ashigaru selection? The waiter was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to take back the wine he had sent earlier, but when he saw that Yukihide Hazu had already drunk almost half of it, he had to give up.

The waiter continued, "The Ashigaru selection is an annual event of the Tsugawa family. All the major castles in the Tsugawa family are conducting ashigaru selections. Whether it's a ronin or a commoner, as long as you pass the selection, you can become the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family. The closest selection location to here is in Minato Castle, and the garrison Takato-sama is in charge. In addition, not far away, Toshima Castle and Kubota Castle are also being selected. However, these places are all places where the retainers of the Tsugawa family know and act, and even if they are chosen, most of them will become a permanent ashigaru, and if you want to become a samurai, you need to make a war record. ”

"Ashigaru?" As soon as Yukazu Yukihide heard that he could only be an ordinary ashigaru, he immediately shook his head violently, and then said, "I, Saburo Guard, am a samurai, how can I be an ashigaru!" ”

Yamaguchi Chokyo on the side also nodded approvingly, and said, "Yes, both of us are samurai, and it's good to be a shigaru no matter how bad it is, how can you be a lowly ashigaru!" ”

Hearing the words of Yamaguchi Nagasyo and Yuzu Yukihide, the waiter shook his head, and sighed in his heart that they were two boys who didn't know the height of the sky. The waiter sighed and continued, "You two are from other places, so you don't know much about our situation here. ”

"In the Tsugawa family, even if you are a samurai, if you don't pass the selection, then you can't even be a ashigaru. Of course, even if you are an ordinary farmer or ronin, as long as you can pass the selection, you will not have a problem becoming a samurai, and if you are lucky, you can become a samurai! The waiter said enviously, "In the early years, the villain also went to participate in the ashigaru selection, but unfortunately, the villain's strength was not good, and he lost the first round." ”

"Later, I came ............here with my current boss, Lady Hirade," he said, and the waiter's unbearable look at the past made the two of them hurt for a while.

Seeing that the two of them were still indifferent, the waiter hurriedly continued, "By the way, the ashigaru selected by the Tsugawa family is not an ordinary ashigaru, if it is the ashigaru selected by the cities of Yodogawa Castle and Hondo Castle, it is the ashigaru who selects the five colors of the Tsugawa family, and a young man of the ashigaru is 20 stones." ”

"Although the ashigaru selected by the ordinary castle is not a five-color preparation, it is also a standing ashigaru, and there are 10 stone of rice in a year!" The waiter also thought that Yuzu Yukihide and the others felt that the ashigaru was too low, so they hurriedly said the Tsugawa family's ashigaru.

However, although Yukihide Hazu and Yamaguchi Nagakyo didn't hesitate because of this, they were also quite surprised when they heard the waiter's mouth about the Tsugawa family's ashigaru.

Yukihide Hazu couldn't help but say, "Can the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru Yuroku be so tall?" ”

"Of course! Who in the surrounding area now doesn't know that the Tsugawa family's ashigaru is the highest, and not only is it high, but if someone in the family becomes a standing ashigaru, the family's agricultural tax can be reduced by 10%. Moreover, if you make a lot of achievements in battle, you will have the opportunity to become a samurai master, and even if you don't have many combat achievements, you can get a lot of rewards! The waiter said excitedly, as if the person who had been rewarded was himself.

However, although the waiter said it energetically, of course the two of them did not want to be an ordinary ashigaru, and then continued, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, if you want to become a samurai directly, what can you do?" ”

"How?" The waiter thought for a moment, and then said, "Dare to ask the two adults if they have any proof of serving in other martial arts before, it is best to have a letter of affection from the master family as proof!" In addition, if the two adults are well-known in the country, of course, they can do it. ”

Nonsense, if the two of us had this, why would we be here! Yukihide Hazu thought speechlessly.

Yamaguchi Nagakyo said embarrassedly, "We are all samurai who have just run away from home, so we ................"

"Then you can only go through the ashigaru selection." The waiter shook his head, and then the old god said, "Don't look down on Ashigaru two adults, Kojiro of our village is still a major minister of the Tsugawa family, the younger brother of Lord Miki Naogo of Yodogawa Castle and the side room lady of Lord Tsugawa of the Tsugawa family, it is different from starting from Ashigaru, and now he has become the head of Ashigaru Castle of Kanazawa Castle!" That's a samurai, it's really enviable. ”

"However, if the two of you don't have confidence in your own ability, I think it's better to leave here early and go elsewhere to spray luck!" The waiter continued.

After listening to the waiter's words, Yukihide Hazu and Yamaguchi Nagakyo glanced at each other in embarrassment. On the one hand, the dignity of the samurai makes the two of them really unable to let go of their work to be a sashigaru, and on the other hand, the two of them have no money now, if they don't find something to do, it won't be long before the two of them will starve to death in this poor country, and then what samurai will say! What ambitions to talk about.............

Just as Yamaguchi Nagakyo and Yukazu Yukihide were fighting between the celestial beings, the waiter on the side suddenly said, "However, if the two of you are confident in your ability, you might as well go to Ueno Castle to participate in the ashigaru selection." It is said that this year's selection is in charge of Tsukawa-sama himself, so maybe the two of you will be taken by Tsukawa-sama and become samurai directly! ”

With that, the waiter shook his head and turned to leave.

After the waiter left, Yamaguchi Nagakyo looked at the empty sake jug in his hand, and said to Yukihide Hazu, "Saburo Guard, what do you think?"

Yukihide Hazu gritted his teeth and said, "That's it! Anyway, no one here knows us, so Ashigaru is Ashigaru! With our ability, are we afraid that there will be a day when we will not get ahead? ”

"So, let's go to Ueno Castle for the Ashigaru selection?" Yamaguchi then asked.

Yukihide Hazu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Since you have decided to start from Ashigaru, don't hold on to those nihilistic thoughts." We'll wait to find out which city the most famous retainers in the Tsugawa family are, and we'll go there to participate in the selection!! ”

"Since that person named Kojiro can become a samurai from Ashigaru, I don't believe that I can't do Hazu Yukishu!"

"Good!" Yamaguchi Nagajiao also said loudly, "Since you have said so, brother, then let's go!" ”

"Good! Let's go! ”
