Chapter 31 Conditions for the Elderly
The retainers all dispersed, only Okochi Nobusada remained motionless, Kira Manmatsumu knew that he had something to say, and the two of them sat quietly for a while, it seems that this pen head is still thinking about how to persuade him, he couldn't persuade him just now, what else to persuade now? Doomed to be in vain.
"Your Excellency! You're right, the Kira family is the biggest disaster in the Kira family in three hundred years, as the governor of the family, you can't be trapped in the country of Mikawa, but the subordinates are the hindsight of the pavilion master, and it is absolutely impossible to follow the pavilion master! Therefore, please allow your subordinates to follow you, and bring my son of Mikawa with you to contribute to the great cause of the Kira family! ”
Okochi Nobusada's statement was not too unexpected, the chief genealogy also thought about a handful of blood, although the loyalty and courage are commendable and commendable, but this is not in line with his strategy, Mikawa does not have him to watch, what if the family business of the nest is hollowed out by the Imagawa family, won't there be even a way out in the future.
Kira Manmatsumaru could only soothe: "But Ma Shou's thoughts are already understood by the family!" But the family's family business in Mikawa Province is not completely abandoned, the Saijo Kira family is just gone, the land and the retainers are still left, even if my brother is only nominally leading Saijo Castle, the Kira family is still in the family, and the princes are still the retainers of the family. ”
"But the owner of the pavilion also needs manpower to go to Beijing, and his subordinates lived in Kyoto with the ancestor of the pavilion when he was young, so he should be able to help the lord of the pavilion!" Okochi Nobutada said unrelentingly.
"But Tajima is the mainstay of the family! If there is no Dan Ma Shou, the genealogy in the family will lose its backbone, and the people will take the opportunity to disturb it. ”
"This ...... Since your subordinates can't follow the Pavilion Master, please ask the Pavilion Master to let me and other generations of clansmen follow you to Luo Fenggong! ”
Nobutada Okochi decisively showed his killer weapon, didn't you let us go to Kyoto to accompany Fenggong? Then take our people with you, no matter whether the family governor is good or bad, these genealogies can also rest assured, and the truth of not putting eggs in the same basket has been understood by many people from ancient times to the present.
"Since Danma Shou is willing to fist, the family agrees!" When he was leaving, Kira Manmatsumaru said a bunch of impassioned words to motivate him, making Okochi Nobutada pat his chest and say that he must keep the family business of the Kira family before he can leave with peace of mind.
It was already late afternoon when Kira Manmatsu Maru got up and walked out of the assessment room, called a small surname to ask him to prepare lunch, and returned to the castle tower alone to take off the obstructive hunting clothes, and replaced them with light water drying straight down, this simplified version of the hunting clothes is woven with good breathability silk linen, which is comfortable and beautiful to wear, and of course it is also the most suitable for Kira Manmatsu Matsumaru who has not yet been dressed.
Since Kira Manmatsumaru advocated eating meat, there have been some changes in the Kira family, such as the number of eagle hunts has increased, and he has to go out hunting almost every three to five days, and the samurai have become accustomed to riding on horses and bending their bows to shoot their prey, and some people with high talent for arching horses have begun to consult the Ogasawara clan about their bow equestrian skills, which are nothing more than to learn the ryuga equestrian skills handed down from the Heian period.
There will be results in the battle if there is motivation, there are countless prey such as hares, wild boars, wild deer, roe deer, etc., in order to justify his behavior of eating meat, he borrowed his identity to force the Ma Hui samurai to follow him in the same stream, these guys have a simple brain structure, and still retain a simple view of right and wrong, killing may be understandable but eating meat is absolutely not, and he does not dare to disobey Kira Manmatsumu's orders under his threat, so he can only lie down and pray to the gods and Buddhas silently while biting and chewing.
In order to improve the food, Kira Manmatsumaru ordered Ma Yuzhong to use harpoons to go down to the river to fish, and the fish and meat were stewed together to change the taste, and he also developed the habit of fishing at that time.
Although the method of persecuting the Ma Hui is a little not bright, but the benefits after switching to meat are still obvious, the bodies of these Ma Hui are much stronger than a few years ago, and some of them are not very old and have grown a little taller, and the effect is naturally more able to exchange for the enthusiasm of the Ma Hui Zhong, in addition to guarding the Kira Manmatsu Pill, these Ma Hui Zhong is nothing more than a way to cultivate combat skills, and nothing can be done without a good body.
In order to appease them, Kira Manmatsumu also took Tada Manyori, one of the five tiger generals of the Takeda family, as an example, saying that this Tada Manyori is a samurai who eats meat, not only proficient in the way of bows and arrows, but also very good at night fighting, the reason is because he eats meat, this is a bit nonsense, but these Ma Hui samurai are very convinced of this, Koshu Takeda family is not far from Mikawa, the Takeda family's martial name has always been very loud in Dongguo and Tokaido, take Tada Manyori as an example, these Ma Hui samurai can eat meat with peace of mind.
These people don't necessarily know who the Kai Five Tigers will be, as long as they know that these words came from the mouth of the governor, they must be true, and if anyone says this in front of them is not true, they will definitely grab the katana and fight with them.
The genealogy of the Kira family is loyal, these horses were formed for him by his father back then, and the ancestors of these horses were powerful samurai who followed the governor of the Kira family to become the shogunate's public, and their heads may not be very bright, but their loyalty and bravery are not bad at all.
Nobutasha Okochi once said: "The prestige of my Kira family's Ma Hui samurai is all over Mikawa, and this is all the blessing of the master of the museum!" ”
The Maharashi samurai is a tradition maintained by the Kira family for 200 years, and the size of the 60 people has been maintained until the birth of Kira Manmatsumaru, relying on the profits obtained from the salt pans on the shore of Mikawa Bay, until Kira Manmatsumaru found that the method of drying salt in the salt fields was very unscientific, and came up with a new idea to increase the efficiency of drying salt several times and refine better fine salt.
First dig a ditch to lead the seawater to the salt pan below the sea level, and then build a tidal dam on the periphery, so that it can not be affected by the tide, after the sea water is dried, the mixture of salt and sand is poured into the swamp, injected into the clean water and then filtered and separated by a fine screen, you can get a brine with high salt content, this brine can not be used, after drying again, the dissolved water is finely filtered twice, you can get pure brine with very few impurities, and finally distilled to obtain high-purity sea salt.
Because Kira Manmatsumu proposed a new process, and together with a family of genea, he built a tidal embankment and dug salt pans on the beach near the sea, and reorganized the original salt household into a new business of the Kira family himself, which has been in business since the previous few years and is on the right track, and the merchant towns and people around the Tokai have gradually recognized the reputation of Saijo's refined salt.
Among them, the salt pan to which the Kira family belonged was the largest, with a steady production of 180 stone of salt every month, and the highest monthly output of 330 stone of salt in summer, which was also a lucrative business.
The Kira family can have two hundred horse samurai, and each bow horse is skilled and skilled, it is to rely on the windfall profit support of salt to be expanded, originally many of the courtiers who did not have the opportunity to become a horse samurai get the coveted opportunity to advance, Yamamoto Kansuke spent five years to train eight hundred elite is also relying on this income to lay the foundation, no money can not train elite soldiers, empty vernacular can not train strong soldiers, only a strong economic foundation can better survive.
