When the samurai is promoted to the status of the family elder, it is already the peak of the retainers, because the family elder can be said to be the pinnacle of the family's position, and even after the death of some samurai family masters, when they do not leave a last word, they will be jointly elected by several important ministers and family elders to the new family master.

And the position in the family after the old family is at the end, and the family level will not be promoted again, because it is very simple, and if you are promoted in the future, you will be promoted from the lord of the township to the lord of the county, or even the level of the lord of the county, but the identity is still the old man in the family.

And the Zhixing of the elders of the family is at least the Zhixing of a township, but because of identity restrictions, they may be able to control the land of a county or the land of a county, but there is only one township or two towns that really belong to them.

Because once the entire county is canonized to the retainer as Zhixing, it will be very difficult to check and balance, and the retainer's attention will also be focused on developing his own territory, rather than concentrating on serving the master. Because as long as the land of a county is firmly controlled, there is no problem at all against the county lord-level martial artists.

Of course, if you are awesome, only one village can rebel and raise the flag as an independent samurai. As for the rebellion, it can be at any time, if it's awesome, you can kill the lord at the level of captain Ashigaru, and then change the name to the crow and occupy the magpie's nest, and directly turn the lord's family into his own family.

Of course, theoretically it is possible, but you have to be so strong that everyone in the main family supports you, and even if you don't support it, you have to acquiesce. But it seems that there has never been such a powerful captain of the ashigaru, and only those retainers of the first and second layers of the family are qualified to rebel.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhongjun blinked his eyes, it seems that he can only have his own power when he climbs to the level of a general, because at that time he can have his own family crest, and only at this time can he recruit people to be his own manpower.

Because he was shrunk under the banner of the main family before, he recruited people in the capacity of the main family, and in his heart, he thought that he was the courtier of the main family, not his own courtier.

Zhang Zhongjun was worried about how to quickly climb to the level of a general, as for money, food, weapons or something, Zhang Zhongjun with divine coins was not lacking.

Zhang Zhongjun asked Jing Qing Ju Shiro again if there was any way to quickly reach the level of a general.

Jing Qing Ju Shiro glanced at Zhang Zhongjun and said with a smile: "Guest, unless you are a samurai yourself, or a samurai with a foundation, if you serve in this way, you will easily be appointed as a general." ”

Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but pout when he heard this, damn it, this is equivalent to not saying it, and if Lao Tzu is a martial artist, where do you need to take refuge in other people?

In this sense, you can only start from Ashigaru?

Hearing Zhang Zhongjun's question, Jing Qing Jushiro couldn't help laughing, turned around and pointed to the four bean soldiers who followed Zhang Zhongjun and said: "Guest, as long as you have four subordinates to follow, you can immediately obtain the status of a samurai, that is, the identity of the captain of the ashigaru, and even if you show some ability, or the head of the family sees you as pleasing to the eye, it is not strange to directly promote you to the head of the ashigaru, but the later level has to rely on meritorious service in exchange." ”

Zhang Zhongjun looked at the bean soldiers, the four bean soldiers walked and sat and lay down in a very martial manners, obviously they were all samurai-level existences, and if they took the four of them to any martial artist, they could immediately get the status of a samurai. This is normal, because four samurai are a very powerful force, and if you put on armor and go to fight the peasants, there is no problem at all for the four samurai to kill hundreds of peasants.

As soon as he defected, he took the power of four samurai, and any samurai was willing to give a low-level samurai status. As for the fear of the enemy's rebellion and not accepting it, there is no problem with this, this kind of person who surrenders with force can be said to happen all the time in the whole world.

And although it has happened from time to time in these years, the mainstream pursuit and belief is still loyalty and public service. If the guy on the lower gram can be passed down for two generations, then this crime can be washed away, and no one will crusade against this crime.

But the next gram can be inherited for more than two generations, and the number of people on the lower gram is really a drop in the bucket, and it is pitifully rare. The vast majority of the people who went down to the gram were directly killed by their own subordinates or enemies on the charge of crime, and it can be said that the position that the lower gram got up was killed before they could sit warm!

Therefore, although the samurai is vigilant about the existence of the lower gram, but just like the person who rides a horse knows that there will be a certain chance of being killed by the fall, but still chooses to ride a horse, of course, the samurai knows that the courtiers may go down to the gram, but does not recruit the courtiers? Of course, they continue to recruit courtiers, and even recruit courtiers frantically, after all, this is a troubled time, and no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to live until tomorrow.

Zhang Zhongjun blinked his eyes, although he knew that he could obtain the status of a warrior by taking four of his subordinates to serve any martial artist, but a warrior like himself who had no foundation might not be able to develop if he wanted to develop, at least if his military merits were encroached upon, he would not be able to protest, and no one would pay attention to your protests.

And this is also the reason why he came to Kyoto, so Zhang Zhongjun asked tentatively: "Can a person with no identity like me pay tribute to the imperial court and get an official position?"

Jing Qing Ju Shiro raised his eyebrows, and asked with some surprise: "You want to buy an official position, how much do you know?"

Zhang Zhongjun said with some embarrassment: "Well, I don't know how to do it yet." ”

Jing Qing Ju Shiro immediately frowned, and said a little boringly: "I don't know how to do it, there is no way, you can't buy an official position, no matter how rich you are." ”

"Uh, what kind of qualifications do you need to buy an official position?" Zhang Zhongjun asked curiously.

"It's very simple, whether it is a samurai or a samurai, you must have the knowledge and deeds above the village level to apply for an official position in the imperial court. However, there are restrictions on samurai, and they can only be purchased with the permission of the owner. Jing Qing Kikushiro said casually.

It can't be a thousand square kilometers of territory, right?

Hearing Zhang Zhongjun's question, Jing Qing Jushiro smiled and said: "That's a virtual finger, generally speaking, 1,000 stones is enough." ”

Zhang Zhongjun nodded, a thousand stones, only at the level of a general can he be qualified to seek an official position!

And Jing Qing Kikushiro seemed to say it, and continued: "The ancestors are all white samurai to buy official positions from the imperial court, and they must buy from the nine-rank official position, that is, from the lowest official position, any official position from the ninth rank only needs 100 guan, and then after having the official position from the ninth rank, you can buy the official position from the ninth rank, and every time you are promoted, you have to get 100 guan. ”
