Due to the fact that the lord robbed the people's daughters, Masara was delayed for nearly a day near Imari Bay of the Matsuura Army of Hizen Province in Kyushu, and after dealing with the robbery and inspecting the village where Naritomi Shinchong was located on the way, Masara and the others had to think about spending the night there tonight.

Let's stay in the town where I was patrolling at noon, not to mention the commotion caused by the need to gather the hundreds of cloaked people and samurai troops who were on standby half a mile away at this time, and the accommodation conditions at the town alone were not acceptable to Masara.

There are generally two types of buildings used to entertain guests in the town, one is a longhouse and the other is an inn.

The long-term long-term house is divided into many rooms (the average townsfolk live in one room), and it is narrow and crowded, and if someone quarrels in one room, the whole longhouse will be heard. These longhouses were originally the specific quarters of the samurai ashigaru in Imari Castle, but when Imari Castle was demolished by the slave team of the Luo family, these longhouses were left behind and became houses for the local lords.

In addition to longhouses, there are also hotels that can accommodate travelers. These inns are not at all the same concept as those of later generations, and strictly speaking, they are not real inns.

These inns are commonly referred to as "wooden rental houses". The specific situation inside is that a large bunk (which can be understood as all the beds side by side) can live dozens of people in it, and the store is all wooden planks, with a large fire pit in the middle, and all the beds around. In order to accommodate more people, some shops also build beds on top of the beds, doubling the number of bunks.

The shops with a better environment have two floors. The first floor is a chase shop. On the second floor, there are private rooms. These rooms are a few square meters in size. It is for people who have a little money and are not willing to sleep in a chase shop, but the price is much more expensive.

Moreover, these hotels generally only provide accommodation but not food. Therefore, the general travelers have to bring their own food, and after arriving at these hotels, they make their own fires, and the hotels only provide cooking places and a certain amount of firewood (if it is not enough, they have to pay for it), and everything is self-service.

For the convenience of merchants and samurai on horseback, inns are usually equipped with stables and warehouses to store goods. However, the hotel does not provide custody services for general belongings. All of them are kept and carried by the passengers. However, the environment of the hotel is really poor, especially the Chase Shop, whether it is a mattress under the body or a quilt on the body, it is a straw mat. The two bunks were close to each other, and there was no place to store their personal belongings, so many thieves targeted the inn and looked for opportunities to attack it.

A hotel that is a little better than a "wooden rental house" is called a "travel cage". The living environment is a little better than that of a "wooden rental house", and it comes with food and drink.

In addition, some local places with hot springs will also build inns near the hot springs. This type of inn with hot springs is one of the most exclusive hotels of this era. It is called "sento". Of course, you have to pay for the hotel and the hot spring separately.

Hot springs are also an important means of attracting guests. Many travelers are tired at a time. I'll go inside and take a hot bath. The whole body is comfortable, the bones are soft, who wants to go out? So I stayed at the hotel.

It is said that there are more than 6,000 hot springs in various parts of the country, and the water in these hot springs is always bubbling, so it was first called "Jigokuyu", which means a hot tub that looks like hell. Later, everyone thought that the name was not good, so they changed the name to "Sento". Temples, shrines, and daimyo in various places control a large number of hot springs and serve as a source of finance. There are many hot springs in the Hizen Kingdom, Higo Kingdom, and Bungo Kingdom in the Luo family's territory, and these hot springs are controlled by the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet, and some sulfur-rich hot springs are used as military facilities for the Luo family's military power to recuperate. Others were set up as inns, under the control of Roche House and God House, as an additional source of finance.

These places are often inhabited by travelers from all over the country, and it can be said that it is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and many daimyo Hosaku will also choose to exchange information here, which is really a paradise for Hosakusaku. Therefore, these places are also the key monitoring places of the Luo Family Intelligence Cabinet, and in order to strengthen the monitoring of these hotels, the Luo Family Law clearly stipulates that when the people establish hotels, they must register information with the local Internal Affairs Cabinet.

In addition to being a haven for the exchange of information from all over the world, it is also a place where ronins from all over the world gather, where they can inquire about information from all over the world and decide on their next goal. There are even rap and pipa blind monks who gather here to compile what they see and hear into jokes or songs, forming a unique culture.

Of course, for the military strength and officials of the Luo family, in addition to the accommodation mentioned above, there is also a place for them to stay. That is the unique post station of the Luo family, which is jointly controlled by the Internal Affairs Pavilion and the Intelligence Pavilion. The most basic function of these post stations is to provide a place for the soldiers and officials of the Luo family in various places to raise and rest, and to be responsible for raising horses for transporting supplies and transmitting information. That is, the "horse system".

However, since these post station systems have just started, and they have not yet been laid out in the area around Imari Bay, Masarashi is destined to not be able to rest at the post station tonight. In desperation, Masara had no choice but to stay in the local village for the night. It's just that when more than 400 people in cloak and a joint team of standing samurai appeared outside the village, it caused panic among the leaders in the village. In the end, it was only after Cheng Fuxin and other two village heads came forward to appease him that he calmed down again.

The accommodation problem is solved, and the next thing is the problem of eating. In fact, Masayo's guards also brought rations with the army, but Masara planned to eat with the villagers on a whim, so he soon tasted the bitterness.

Although the people in the Luo family's territory have been greatly improved after their deaths, an ordinary household can occasionally have a meal of rice (usually a staple food), a plate of dried radish, and a few green vegetables is already a hearty meal.

Not to mention meat, due to cultural influences, meat is rarely eaten in the homes of ordinary lords (unless it is a pariah from a pariah background, in this era, eating pork and other acts are considered blasphemous to the gods, and only the untouchables at the bottom of the society who are responsible for killing cattle and pigs will eat these meats), and it is good to have an occasional meal of fish or eggs.

After the Luo family came to power, in order to improve the physical fitness of the people, they began to promote the culture of eating meat, first of all, adding meat to the meals of the army and officials. Secondly, promote the development of liquor houses such as gourmet houses in the territory. Under this policy, many people in the territory have begun to accept meat. (To be continued......)
