In the early morning, the sun is shining, and the busy day is about to begin.

Twenty-three-year-old Ye Zi had just opened the door of the cloth house at this time, and then picked up a broom and cleaned every inch of the house very carefully. Ye Zi is the widow of a Roche family. Her husband was killed in a battle, leaving her and two children, a boy and a girl.

Under normal circumstances, in such a situation, a woman like Ye Zi is likely to have to remarry in order to survive, otherwise Ye Zi alone will not be able to afford to raise two children. Fortunately, when she was facing difficulties, the Luo family's military family pension law appeared.

As a commemoration for her husband who died in battle, she was given five anti fields (three of which were paddy fields), and she also received a certain amount of food every year until one of her sons and one daughter grew up to be 15 years old. In the Luo family, whether standing or temporarily conscripted, peasant soldiers will receive a bereavement pension after being killed or injured in battle, but the higher the rank, the greater the strength of the bereavement. Therefore, in the territory of the Luo family, many people are willing to be soldiers, and as long as they become soldiers, they hope to make contributions to improve their status. In this way, even if they are unfortunate enough to receive a bento on the battlefield, their families will receive a good kind of bereavement.

Since she was alone and unable to cultivate the fields of Wuanti, with the approval of the local cabinet of the interior and the witness of the village, she handed over the fields to her brother's family to help take care of them (of course, the fields still belonged to hers), and she could recover some of the harvest from her brother's family every year.

Then she was in the pension house in charge of the wife of the lord (the territory is responsible for managing the distribution and implementation of the pension of military orphans, and the Matsumiko, Tsuru, Butterfly and others are jointly responsible for the management of the good woman, and the clerks in the institution are all served by the orphans of military families. The organization has been established since the beginning of the Luo family, and until today, it has spread to almost every corner of the Luo family's territory), and found a job in a cloth house under the command of the Luo family. Responsible for the sale of fabrics.

One of her sons and a daughter joined the Boy Scouts organized by the castle town for free, and while participating in military training organized by the town, they learned some cultural knowledge. The Boy Scouts in the territory are the equivalent of elementary schools in later generations. In a town, the town head is generally the permanent office of the retired Luo family, and there are at least three town heads in a town, one person is in charge of the town's civil affairs, one person is in charge of agriculture, and one person is responsible for the daily training of peasant soldiers and boy scouts, all of which are managed by the Cabinet of Interiors. Similarly, there will be two retired Luo family members or peasant soldiers as the head of the village. One is responsible for civil and agricultural affairs, and the other is responsible for military training. The cultural knowledge of the Boy Scouts is taught by the students who are about to graduate from the Roche Academy. Of course, the construction of the Roche Academy has not yet been completed, so the current graduating cadet teachers generally refer to the local former Boy Scout cadets who still have a year to serve. This is to be used as a graduation test for these students who are about to enter the Yuan service. When these teachers are subdued, the Cabinet will assign them jobs based on their situation and their performance as teachers in the last year.

According to her children, they revealed in a private chat with her at home. They all recently plan to continue their studies at the Roche Academy in Zoga County. The son's ambition is to become a general of the Luo family in the future, and gallop on the battlefield like his father. And the daughter seems to have some new ideas. But her daughter's problem is the most headache for her. According to the original idea of the leaves. is planning to wait for her daughter to grow up a little more and find her a good in-law's house, so that she can live the rest of her life peacefully, but her daughter seems to disagree with this arrangement, and her daughter seems to have her own thoughts in her heart.

Although her daughter's affairs are a little annoying to her, no matter what, her current life is very satisfying. If you go back to the time when she was a girl. In such a situation, as parents, it is estimated that in order to survive, they will even sell their children. Leaves are such encounters. Due to the death of his father, the family was unable to raise three children. The mother had to remarry, and she also sold her as the eldest daughter to her current husband as a wife.

Now, she has suffered a similar fate to her mother, who died of poverty, but with a completely different fate. Although she was recently introduced to a new man, this time she didn't have to wronged herself and her children in order to survive, and no one came to force her to give in. She can choose for herself, whether she marries or not, and who she intends to marry, she can choose for herself. If anyone dares to force her, if she goes to the town or the pension place to complain, then the person who forced her will be subjected to hard labor and even reduced to slavery, which is a violation of the laws of the territory.

Just when she was still cleaning the house and thinking about the things at home, there was a "bang", the curtain of the cloth house was suddenly opened, and a young man who looked to be only in his twenties, wearing a washed and somewhat whitish cloth coat, his arms and neck were intertwined like old tree roots, even through the clothes, he could clearly feel the strength contained in it, his eyes were clear and bright, and his whole face was full of peace and tranquility. He was followed by two strong men who looked a little vicious.

"Welcome, what do you need?" Although he was scared of the two people behind him, Ye Zi still habitually smiled after training to receive the young man.

"Hmmm! I want to buy some ......" The young man's gaze swept across the shelves, and then continued: "Silk! What kind of silk do you have? Please show it to me. ”

"Wait, please! We have some fine tango silk in our shop! Ye immediately climbed onto the shelves and took down three rolls of silk from above, one yellow, one green and one purple, which the family had purchased from Amadaya from Kyoto.

"Did I buy it for Madame or Madame?" Well...... Also, how tall are you? After putting down the silk, Ye Zi took out a ruler as he spoke. This ruler is a unique ruler in the territory of the Luo family, and it is a ruler that is unified in the territory after Zhengliang unified the weights and measures.

"What? Don't you have silk from the Ming Kingdom here? After looking at the silk placed on the table, the young man suddenly asked. It seems that he is not very satisfied with these silks.

"Ming silk? Yes, we have them in our store. Ye Zi hurriedly bowed, and then quickly took out several pieces of Ming Kingdom silk from a well-kept wooden box on the central shelf of the room. Ming silk is the most precious cloth in the cloth house, they were purchased by the family from the Ming merchants, and the quantity is not much, so they are all properly kept.

"Ming silk is indeed draped and silky, and it is the supreme product for making winter clothes. If it can be lined with precious animal skins, such as fox skins from the Ming Kingdom, it will be no less beautiful even if it is worn on the emperor's nobles. But...... If it's a summer costume, nothing compares to the light and flowing Tango silk! And Tango silk is much cheaper...... "Ye Zi introduced the advantages of silk in various places for young people in detail.

This young man is naturally Masahiro himself. It's also a shame to say that although he has lived in Kishidake Mountain Castle for several years, Masarashi has not even had time to take a good tour of the renovated castle town. Now that he was about to move, he naturally planned to come down and inspect it before leaving.

Originally, he planned to bring his daughters to go shopping, but because they were busy with pre-move arrangements, they didn't have much free time, and as the owners of many commercial houses in the castle town and the owners and spokespersons of many charities in the territory, they were quite famous in the town. This, combined with the fact that they often help poor people in some of the towns, makes them almost the most popular people in the area. The people were even more familiar with him than Masayo, who was a daimyo of the daimyo, and if Masara took them shopping, they would be recognized by the people quickly, and they would stop thinking about shopping freely.

As for Mei Ji, the little guy is clamoring to follow, but with her name as "Ghost Hime" in the town, it is enough to scare away a lot of people, and with her following, Masahiro doesn't want to pay a private visit. And Nohime, who is as famous as Mihime, has lost interest in going out because she has long studied many things in the town.

So in desperation, Zhengliang had no choice but to disguise himself as a civilian, and then quietly came out with the bodyguards who protected him closely. (To be continued......)
