Chapter 932: Samurai Rank (3)

Then it is to wait for the general, and the knowledge is about 1,000 stones. The number of ashigaru in charge is 20, because the burden of ashigaru has not been directly expanded tenfold, but Zhixing is tenfold expansion, so the days of the general are much better than the ashigaru general, and the money is rich, and the equipment of the 20 ashigaru is also much better than the period of the ashigaru general. And when he is at the level of a general, he can already canonize his retainers as a samurai at the level of the captain of the ashigaru.

Of course, in fact, when the Ashigaru Shogun is a general, he can also canonize the status of a samurai to his retainers, you can give it to the captain of Ashigaru, or you can give it the status of a samurai. The captain of the ashigaru captain Chiyuki is 10 stones, and the samurai of the flag is 1 stone.

The 10 stone of the captain of the ashigaru knows the line, and the main family does not have to worry about any expenses if he gives it, but the 1 stone of the flag samurai, the main family needs to be responsible for the cost of equipment and food. So I really don't know which side is the best deal.

However, the general of the ashigaru, it is very difficult to equip 4 ashigaru, where is there any extra land to canonize the retainers. Therefore, when it is generally time to be a general, it will be considered to canonize the retainers to strengthen the family business.

Of course, the four Ashigaru generals are private soldiers, and they are blessings and misfortunes with the main family, and they are actually equivalent to retainers, but they don't have the status of retainers yet. Therefore, as long as they can survive until the time when the main family is promoted to be a general, they will generally be promoted to retainers.

There is no limit to the number of retainers of all samurai, which means that as long as your retainers do not give money or Zhixing, and follow you hungry, then no one else can say anything, right?

For example, this general, as long as he is willing, his subordinates are willing, and he can let his retainers be banner-based warriors, 1 stone Zhixing 1, enough to be able to canonize 1,000.

But I don't think anyone would do this, Zhixing will give it all out, and the general won't have to eat? Even if the general has other financial resources, his retainers don't have to eat it?

Then there are the generals, at this level, Zhixing is definitely more than 5,000 stones, and according to the current yield per mu, it is generally a village.

Because the theoretical jurisdiction area of a village in this world reaches hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers, when you have a complete village, you can already be called the village daimyo and will be allowed to have your own family coat of arms.

This grid is actually an official position, you have reached the level of a general, and you still have a village as a Zhixing, at this time you don't have an official position, so it's better to die.

This official position can be given by the lord's family, or you can spend your own money to go to the court to pay tribute and ask for it, in fact, you can spend money to buy it.

Of course, the official positions below the eighth-rank official position are sold by the imperial court at a clear price, and the official positions above the eighth-rank official position, in addition to the same clearly marked price, also depends on your strength. The strength is insufficient, and no matter how much money is given, you can't get a high-ranking official position. Similarly, when the imperial court announced the crime of being an enemy of the court, it was not chaotic, and it was very cautious.

Why is this so, it is because now the imperial court relies on these things to exchange money, and also relies on these systems to maintain the existence of the imperial court, but it never dares to mess around, and the last bit of existence of the imperial court in the eyes of the world has been eliminated.

Similarly, the minister who does not have land and his descendants are not in this restriction, and if the minister wants to get a high position, then in addition to sending money, he also has to pull a relationship, which is completely based on favor and support, and does not need to look at your strength.

So the so-called family personality depends on your official position, and the family with a high official position is high, as for what is the use of this thing?

In the face of Zhang Zhongjun's inquiry, Jing Qing Jushiro also hesitated, as if this thing was used to show off, right? Used to call on the surrounding martial artists? This is useless, it must be high in force and cooperate with high family personality to be awesome, low in force and high in family style, if it really fights, is it not for the martial artists with high military strength and low personality to be destroyed?

However, it is said that the martial artists with high family personality seem to have more opportunities to encounter auspicious opportunities, such as the big demon and the big demon rushed into the city, wreaked havoc and left, and as a result, the martial artists with low family personality died miserably and suffered heavy losses, while the high family only suffered a slight loss, and the main members were still safe and sound.

Of course, this may be just an occasional lucky thing, after all, there are not many things about the big demons rushing into the city. In addition, the imperial court used this to publicize it in secret, so it made the thirst for this official position even hotter, and also made the world imperceptibly think that people with high family qualifications are awesome.

Hearing Jing Qing Ju Shiro so straightforward, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it seems that the majesty of the imperial court has long disappeared, otherwise where would he dare to say such about the imperial court.

Seeing Zhang Zhongjun's expression, Jing Qing Ju Shiro naturally returned to the matter of the martial arts family:

The general has a family character and a family crest, then it can be regarded as the existence of a small martial artist, and the relationship with the main family is automatically changed from a direct retainer to a subordinate retainer, of course, the relationship with the main family must be much closer than other subordinate retainers who have served him, after all, this kind of subordinate retainer, but in the main family from the captain of the ashigaru step by step, not only friends are all over the main family, and the relationship with the main family is also different.

Because the subordinates are subordinate to the vassals, they have independent banners and independent armies. In peacetime, when there is no war in the main family, he can go to reclaim the wasteland on his own, as long as he is good enough, and the area under the jurisdiction of the village, a full 1,000 square kilometers, can be reclaimed into fertile land, and there is no problem at all.

And leading troops to exterminate bandits, demons, or something in the territory, there is no problem at all, and there is no problem at all in building artisan houses, building shops, attracting displaced people, mining, etc.

As for the wanton increase in troops and the wanton canonization of samurai, there is no problem for ordinary knowledgeable samurai, as long as you can afford it.

That is, in addition to the right to diplomacy and the right to wage war with foreign countries, all the ministries of an independent power will have it. It can be said that the village where the general Zhixing is located is the independent kingdom of the general.

Of course, the ministry will get so much authority, and he is also obliged, first of all, managing the village is just your family's job, and the main family will also give you another task, and if you don't do well, you will be punished for demotion or something. There is also the same reward for doing well.

An even more important obligation is that once the war begins, the general must lead a thousand troops to the master's house to listen to the order. When the time comes, the inspection of soldiers and horses is very strict, and if the number of people is not enough, you will be punished, basically no different from the time of the Ashigaru Commander, and even this one is no different from beginning to end, unless you are completely independent, so that no one will come to check your soldiers and horses.

As for the elders of the subordinate generals, because they are already important ministers in the lord's family, in addition to being responsible for the burden of the family's duties, the rest are the lords of various towns and villages.
