Chapter 167: Sand Turning and Land Inspection

The first step is to make a money mold, to carve a piece of copper by hand into the initial carving mother, but also to file off the rough edge of the carving mother to ensure that the handwriting is clear and beautiful, and then use the carving mother to make a number of mother money, and use the mother money to act as a money mold for casting money, the steps of this step are actually the same as the following steps.

The second step is to make a pattern, prepare the wooden frame to be fixed, then fill the wooden frame with high-quality sand and compact, then place the mother coin to press out an accurate outline, and then stack another wooden frame filled with sand on top of it for reproducing the face and back fan, and then take out the mother coin after the money fan solidifies, and make a gate, a straight sprue, and a sub-sprue.

The third step is to cast the coin, the molten copper is filled with a crucible and is cast at the pouring mouth, and after cooling, the money is opened, and then cleaned, trimmed and polished, and the coin's casting is completed.

Then he was a little embarrassed, where to find a carver, carved out little by little with a carving knife, the coin should be very round and square hole to standard, can not have the slightest deformation and offset, and the most terrible thing is that the mother money is larger than the copper coin turned out of the sand, and the carving mother is larger than the mother money.

When he was distressed, he turned his head to look, Su Ihei Beibei waited for his big eyes to point at himself: "Use me, I can!" ”

"Are you sure?" Ji Liang Yoshishi looked at Su Ihei Beibei suspiciously, seeing that he was not good-looking, did he really have this ability?

"Sure!" Su I Heibei nodded fiercely, Ji Liang Yoshishi thought about it and had no other way, so he could only nod and leave this matter to Su Ihei Bing Wei to do.

On April 20th, Naito Masari returned after a short period of practice of the Nichi-ryu bow-technique, and Kira Yoshishi invited him to ask about the practice, and Naito Masanari said with feelings: "The Niko-ryu bow-art is broad and profound, and the understanding of the archery has been further increased by the minister's day and night practice in the past few months, but this archery is slightly inconsistent with the number of bows of the subordinates. ”

"Oh, the Hexagon family didn't leave you in trouble, did they?" For the fierce generals under his command, Kira Yoshishi is still quite concerned.

"Nope!" Naito Masari bowed gratefully and said without hesitation: "However, His Royal Highness Shigemasa Yoshida tried several times to persuade his subordinates to join the Rokkaku family, but his subordinates refused. ”

"Refused? Well done! Kira Yoshishi laughed and said: "I, the chief bow general of the Kira family, the world's famous general who killed ten rivers and one survival with one arrow, how could I go to the Rokkaku family!" Zhengcheng is loyal, brave and resolute, and observes righteousness and festivals! What a role model for my Three Rivers samurai! Duration! Tell Fujitaka that from today onwards, the annual salary of Zhengcheng will be increased by 100 times! ”

"Thank you, Lord for your grace!" This taciturn general was grateful, and thanked Kira Yoshitoki for his grace, Kira Yoshitoki walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Do a good job, you are not too old, I think Kuchiki Harutuna also has a good sister, three years younger than you The age is also appropriate, you two will get married!" ”

At the assessment meeting at the end of April, after a routine discussion of the current economic situation in the prefecture, Kira Yoshitoki announced a new order: "First of all, the family has decided to expand the castle town of Sakamoto to the north, and there is also a good port in the north of Katata, and it is not far from Sakamoto, and the integration of Katata and Sakamoto is the next stage of the development direction of the family!" Secondly, the family had to conduct land inspections of the two counties and a census at the same time to establish the tax and military service burdens of each family! ”

"Land inspection!" There was an uproar in the assessment room, and the Samurai of Mikawa looked at these colleagues with indifferent and even slightly gloating eyes, the people of Shiga and Takashima prefectures were nominally united under the support of the Kira family, and the council of the Kira family also frequently went to the countryside to collect taxes, but these people were only in awe of the strength of the Kira family and the unpredictable hand of Kira Yoshishi, and it was still difficult for them to completely abandon their autonomy and obedient submission.

"The owner of the hall has never mentioned the need to inspect the land before, how can it ...... Now it's time to inspect the land again? Some Chinese people couldn't help but ask: "We are unprepared!" Many Chinese people around him nodded their heads.

What do you mean by that? The two counties of Shiga and Takashima are under the command of the Kira family, and I, the Kira family, are not greedy for your share of land, but only the tax and military service burden are established by the land inspection, and the owner of the pavilion exercises the power of the national division, is it still a big fuss? "Isshiki Naokaka jumped out as the first horse general, adhering to his brother's character and temper, once the fire came up, it was like a dynamite barrel that exploded at the touch of a finger.

Another Omi country man stood up angrily and cross-examined: "What does Your Highness Isshiki mean by this?" I didn't say anything, what do you mean by saying so much? ”

"You know what it means!" Shele Zhentong was elected as a horse general, and as a colleague of Isshiki Naogao, he naturally had to stand up and help.

"Silence!" Kansuke Yamamoto tapped on the table and reminded, "When assessing, it is strictly forbidden to make noise!" ”

Kira Yoshishi held the iconic bat fan and kept fanning it, and there was no displeasure on his face, until several troublemakers sat back in their seats and fell into a brief silence, and said with a smile: "Finished? If you don't finish speaking, you can continue to wait, and everyone can wait for you to say, if you have any complaints and dissatisfaction, you can pour them out, and your family will continue here. ”

"......" The people of Omi didn't dare to speak anymore, everyone looked at each other and shrunk a little, but they had seen the methods of Kira Yoshito, whether it was the means of manipulating people's hearts and boosting morale on the battlefield, or the solution of the Zashang group that had been entrenched in Sakamoto Port for hundreds of years behind their backs, all kinds of bizarre rumors were terrifying.

If you count the previous means of quietly taking the territory of the two counties, Takashima Echichumori and his younger brother died mysteriously, and in their eyes, Kira Yoshitoki has completely become an unimaginably terrible lord, many rumors are inseparable from Kira Yoshitoki's iconic smile, and some people even privately spread the rumor that "if you are not afraid of Mitsuki's anger, you are afraid of Sakamoto's smile", those in the know feel that this rumor is untrue, but the samurai love this kind of rumor.

Kira Yoshitoki closed the bat fan and said with a smile: "Nothing to say? Then the land inspection order is set! The family appointed Mitsui Tiger Taka as the land inspector, and Okochi Kunitsuna as the deputy officer, and carried out the land inspection of the two counties, and you must cooperate with the land inspection! ”

"Yes!" More than 80 people on both sides leaned over at the same time to make a promise.

Land inspection is a complex project, first of all, we must formulate a land inspection account, record the local stone height, the degree of land wealth, and then reformulate new taxes, because the land is a difference in land fertility, the Japanese farmers in the Middle Ages do not understand the role of fertilization, so every few years of cultivation The fertility of the land must be fallow, and they do not know why they will plant more and more barren, in short, they are ignorant to farm, ignorant to pay the supply.

Kira Yoshishi intends to change this phenomenon, so he wants to inspect the land, first understand the fertility of each piece of land, and then plan the planting distribution as a whole, and not implement the traditional agricultural system based on rice and supplemented by miscellaneous grains.

At this time, a few months before the autumn harvest was not a busy agricultural period, and Kira Yoshitoki planned to send people to carry out propaganda first, and first try to get the work of the wealthy clan done, that is, taxes and military service would be determined according to the degree of land and wealth, as well as the total population and age distribution, and he did not intend to use the rough and barbaric stone height to decide everything.

The Japanese peasants in the Middle Ages were very bitter, he felt more bitter than the Chinese peasants, sixty percent of the annual harvest had to pay the annual payment, and the remaining forty percent had to pay all kinds of poll taxes, housing taxes, levies assessed by the lords, and all kinds of general service, military service, sometimes the year was not good, or an arrogant and lascivious lord would be unlucky, it was easy to make a fuss, and even those small wealthy families and landlords would rebel.

Hosokawa Fujitaka took his orders to carry out a new plan to expand the town, but before the preliminary preparations were completed, he encountered difficulties in Katada, and there was a group of local people called Katata to resist the actions of the Kira family, which made Kira Yoshishi scratch his head, this is a group of local Yumura groups of Lake Biwa, they act as both water transportation and a group of naval forces, although there are not many boats, but it is very troublesome, the nature of this land snake is special, and they will make a fuss if they are not in a hurry.

They are subordinate to the Kira family's autonomous naval forces, and they didn't have the time to manage them in the previous Kira Yoshi, but it may be that seeing the Yodogawa people join the Kira water army to expand rapidly, plus the unfavorable news that the Kira family issued a land inspection order, Hosokawa Fujitaka made it clear that he wanted to expand Sakamoto Castle Town to Katata, and gradually retracted the exclusive power of the Katada people over the transportation on Lake Biwa, and these land snakes suddenly threatened to take refuge in the Asai family on the other side of Lake Biwa.
