Chapter 8: Changes in the Three Rivers

No one in the Matsudaira family will care whether the Hattori clan who is not from Mikawa is dead or alive, Sakai Tadashi suppressed it like this and no one stood up to help, and the meager money that maintained the 100 members of the Hattori clan was cut off by him for a reason, seeing that no income and livelihood became a problem, Hattori was also confused, he didn't know where to leave the Matsudaira family at this time, the Imagawa clan and the Oda clan did not have the need to raise the ninja army, if he left the Matsudaira family at this time, he could only take the clan to continue to wander.

Kansuke Yamamoto seized the opportunity to intervene in time to relieve his concerns, and as a native of Mikawa Province and a prodigal country for more than ten years, it was easy to win the approval of Hattori Baochang, and after a period of contact and repeated persuasion, Hattori Baochang finally decided to break away from the Matsudaira family and join the arms of the Kira family.

"I see! Matsudaira's approach is really unpopular! Kira Manmatsumu smacked his lips, the first time he heard about the black history of this kind of celebrity, he was still a little unsatisfied, and then said: "It's too harsh to let Iwami Hall feed nearly 100 people of the Hattori clan for a hundred years a year!" ”

Kira Manmatsumaru asked, "Master craftsman, how much rice can you buy with copper money now?" ”

"At the price of grain in Sanhe, I can probably buy eight buckets and five liters of rice!"

"In this way, a hundred copper coins can only buy eighty-five stone of rice! Is there no other way? ”

"If you change it to miscellaneous grains such as brown rice, millet, wheat, and potatoes, you can double it and buy 170 stone of grain."

"It doesn't feel like it's enough......" The two of them asked and answered, seemingly removing the last fig leaf of the Hattori family without malice.

The copper coins commonly used in Sanhe are all copper coins, that is, the inferior copper coins cast by the local daimyo without the process of coinage, and the price in the early years of astronomy, the price of 100 guan wen can also buy 100 stone of rice, but with the flood of private coinage, the price of goods continues to rise, and in the 18th year of astronomy, 100 yuan can only buy 85 stone of rice.

These eighty-five stone rice seems to be a lot, but an adult consumes one stone and eight buckets of grain a year, and eighty-five stone is not enough for the men of the Hattori family to eat, so do those women and children want to drink the northwest wind?

Even if all the eighty-five stone rice is replaced with coarse grains, it is still not enough to eat, so the Hattori security chief has been keeping his head down and embarrassed and silent, the twenty or so Hattori tribesmen who came with him are different, they have no feelings for the Matsudaira family, and they clenched their fists and gritted their teeth one by one with righteous indignation, it seems that the Matsudaira family really did not do anything good.

In addition to Hattori Baocho serving as the head of the Matsudaira family, who can get a hundred kan Wen New Year's salary, there were originally some low-level samurai in his family who served as Matsudaira family, although they could only get a few annual salaries or simply support rice for one person, but their lives were also improvised, and they belonged to the group of people who were barely struggling to make ends meet.

Of course, this is just pure living expenses.,Ninjas need activity funds to collect intelligence.,Daily training、Weapons and clothing expenses and other expenses have not been calculated.,In the past, Matsudaira Hirotada could get some additional support and rewards when he was alive.,It's just that Matsudaira Hirotada's side is gone.,Not only that.,Not only that.,Even Yulu won't give it to you.。

In the past six months, the Hattori family has not been able to get a penny, and they have relied on the little family funds accumulated for more than ten years, and the Hattori security chief has also tried to find the genealogy of the Matsudaira family to solve the problem, but none of them are willing to help him speak, and the kind-hearted ones can also give a little ration relief, and the unsympathetic ones will directly kick him out.

In addition to begging grandpa to find an explanation for grandma, the Hattori family had to sneak into the mountains to hunt animals in order to eat enough, and went down to the river to fish to make a living, and the women of the clan gathered together to weave fishing nets, rattan baskets, and took them to the castle town of Okazaki Castle to sell, and every time they met the samurai of the Matsudaira family in the castle town, they were always full of humiliation and anger, and the feelings of the Hattori family for the Matsudaira family had been unconsciously exhausted.

Seeing that all the relatives of the Hattori family made angry expressions, Kira Manmatsumaru said: "I heard that Iwami Hall intends to switch to the main family, and the main family is overjoyed to hear it! As the sincerity of the family's acceptance of the Hattori family, the special Hattori Iwami Mamoru is the head of the family, and the annual salary is two hundred kanwen. ”

"Yes! His Majesty Hattori is grateful for the grace of the owner! Your Majesty is willing to do your duty for the great cause of the Kira family, and never forget the great kindness of the owner of the museum! "It's not that the Hattori security chief hasn't thought about raising the salary, but it's still a bit surprising to double the annual income so lightly, doubling the food living conditions can improve a lot, which means that the clansmen don't have to worry about starvation and freezing this winter, and they don't have to compete with the poor for their livelihood.

"Iwami Hall is responsible for seeing things for the family group, and the personnel quota must not be less than twenty people, and the equipment ration used by the things is paid by the family separately, so please entrust this matter to Iwamiden!" After the negotiation was completed, it was naturally a burden of obligation, and Kira Manmatsumu did not leave it difficult with him, and gave him preferential treatment in terms of materials and equipment, and then said: "In addition, you must send ten loyal and brave ninjas to serve as the members of the family, and the treatment of these ten people will be the same as that of the horses of the family!" ”

"Yes! We are willing to die for the sake of the master! "The people of the Hattori clan are very excited, the new master is very generous to the Hattori family, and as soon as he makes a move, he is a big deal, and the horse warriors of the Kira family are notoriously well-known, and the forage money for the horses is borne by the Kira family, and the arrows and weapons that are lost in training are borne by the Kira family, and each person can also get three people to support rice, that is, six stone rice.

Six stones of rice are more than enough to feed a family of three, and these ten people can feed thirty people, which suddenly reduces the financial burden of thirty people for Hattori Baochang, and it is not impossible to calculate the two hundred kan and various subsidies, which is twice as high as staying in the Matsudaira family.

The Ashikaga Shogun's family also had a group of guards to defend the shogunate's palace, and below the shogunate, there was usually no name for the shogunate, but instead of the name of the horse, banner, etc., these people were all samurai who did not produce anything, and they only honed their bow and horse martial arts in peacetime, and took on military service for the main family and served as the duty of defending the family governor during wartime.

Letting the ninja serve as the judge is equivalent to the treatment of the horse, this is definitely big news, looking at the Hattori clan a little confused, Kira Manmatsumaru was very considerate and ordered: "The gentlemen have come all the way to join the family, and they must settle down in Yashiki, Zenjiro!" The settlement of the Hattori clan is up to you! ”

"Yes!" Zenjiro rose up in response, and the Hattori chief also thanked the Hattori clan again and again, and then happily followed Zenjiro out of Honmaru, and they were settled in the Sakuyashiki, which was originally called Waikowawa and is now renamed Sanmaru, and the entire Saijo Castle, including Samurashiki, was rebuilt by Kansuke Yamamoto.

The Kira family's Saijo Castle was built in the era of the Ashikaga Yoshiji, the third generation of the Ashikaga clan, the leader of the Kawachi Genji samurai family, and for more than 300 years as the residence of the Kira family, it still roughly maintained the original wooden structure of the castle, until Yamamoto Kansuke came to the Kira family in the 11th year of Astronomy, and it took a few years to rebuild a Saijo Castle that was closer to the new era, which gave the castle a new strength.
