Ascending the steps, Gao Shisheng glanced at the side school next to the door, the furnishings in the house were simple, and they just collapsed.

There are more than a dozen pieces of paperwork pasted on the walls of the house, and because they are far away, they are not carefully read, and the general content is the time and number of requirements for the arrangement of labor between the villages, and the request of the villagers to rent the "village farm" farmland.

Among them, there is also an arrest document with a portrait, which is particularly eye-catching, with several lines of text written on the left side, and a bright red Zhu judgment seal on the right side.

The portraits of wanted criminals posted at the village were based on the old Kamakura system, so that passers-by could easily expose them, and secondly, officials could also check pedestrians based on the portraits. After Minamoto Yoshitsune and his brother Minamoto Yoritomo turned against each other, when he absconded to Oshu for the second time and defected to Fujiwara Taiheng, he enjoyed the treatment of being wanted all over the world.

As for the posting of the universal petition, it was the result of the century-long armed struggle between the people of various countries and the Muromachi shogunate, forcing the guardians to compromise.

The public documents, usually in duplicate or in triplicate, are similar to later contracts, two of which are collected separately by the daimyo and the people and kept as evidence, and the last copy is posted in the customs office or village hall for the villagers to see and identify.

Increase the credibility of the documents, and at the same time facilitate the village and the scribes to adjust and arrange the tax and labor service at any time according to the pleadings, so as to avoid the unfair apportionment of the village and the evasion of taxes by the villagers.

When he was studying at Sunfu, he met a member of the castle town who defended himself against the fact that he had served more general service, and conveyed it to the official of the family as a representative, and finally participated in the handling of the matter.

In the presence of the Buddha statues at the shrine, the two sides reached a mutual understanding and promised that they would not pursue or debate the matter in the future.

It was not clear what happened to the other daimyos, but he saw with his own eyes that the people of Suruga and Enoe were able to live and work in peace and contentment, and it can be said that they all relied on the benevolence of the Imagawa clan.

"Are these all Hongo documents?"

"Yes, except that the prisoner is personally issued by Junfu Wan."

Gao Shisheng glanced at the portrait again, didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked into the courtyard.

……………………

When I entered the courtyard, I found that the village was divided into two entrances.

The courtyard in front of it occupies most of the entire village area, and the flags seen earlier are erected here.

On the right are six rooms, one banku, and five longhouses, separated by wells, typical of a samurai manor.

There is a stable on the left, which can accommodate two or three horses, and Toe is no better than Shinano, and does not produce horses, and usually only comes in handy when making the Banden ride stay, but now it is empty.

There are two rows of fruit trees planted against the wall next to the stable, which are planted with pear, jujube, black plum and other trees, and several vegetable gardens are opened under the fruit trees, and the ground furrows are neat, and ditches are dug to facilitate watering. At the end of the courtyard wall, a chicken was erected, and on the side was a thatched house.

Originally, in the shadow of the stable shed, the half-lying and half-sleeping Kai Tu dog, when he saw someone coming in, immediately rushed out and barked loudly, which not only startled the five or six chickens on the wooden frame outside the chicken moosk and roosted on the ground "clucking", but also made Gao Shisheng, who had just entered the door, startled.

Murono Heizo led the horse to the stable, and scolded the earth dog repeatedly, and when it retracted back into the shed with its tail between its legs, and stopped barking, it walked back to Gao Shisheng's side, and said worriedly: "It's really a sin to disturb the head of the village...... Sin. ”

After seeing Gao Shisheng waving his hand to signal that it didn't matter, he introduced it diligently: "This front yard is where we live, and Zhuang Tou's residence is in the back yard. ”

"Backyard?"

"That's right! The backyard is neat and clean, and when Noyama was there, he also lived in the backyard. ”

Gao Shisheng took two steps forward, the door of the backyard was hidden, through the gap you can vaguely see the houses in it, a bamboo forest was planted in front of the courtyard, gradually entering the autumn season, whenever the breeze blows, the bamboo forest will be shaken, and the yellowed bamboo leaves will fall, adding a little Zen to the courtyard.

Heizo Murono went on to introduce: "If there are people from the country and wealthy families who visit the Junfu and pass by to spend the night, they will also live in the backyard. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, paused and added: "The Matsudaira Hall of Mikawa Country, the Haute Bun in the eighteenth year of Astronomical Pilgrimage to the Junfu Hall and the second year of Hongji when he returned to the country all stayed overnight in Honjo. Although I only lived twice, I was very satisfied with our service, and before returning to China, I not only rewarded two pieces of money, but also put a poem on the wall. ”

In the first year of Eiroku, that is, in a certain month of this year, he would change the word "letter" in his name to the word "Kang" of his grandfather Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, and change his name to Matsudaira Motoyasu, in order to show that he did not forget his grandfather's ambition to unify Mikawa.

After turning his back on the Imagawa clan after the Battle of Tsubakusama, he was deeply ashamed of his experience of being a hostage in Sunpu Castle, and decided to abandon the biased "Yuan" given by Imagawa Yoshimoto to change his name to Matsudaira Ieyasu, and the bias of the word "home" came from the origin of Kiyowa Genji, the ancestor of the Genji of Kawachi.

Finally, the third time the Miao character was changed to Tokugawa, and the Nitta clan was adopted as the ancestor, and Matsudaira Motonobu was the name of Tokugawa Ieyasu Motofu, the first shogun of the Edo shogunate.

In the eighteenth year of Astronomy, he visited Sunfu, but in fact, after the Battle of Ansei Castle, the defeated Katsuhata Oda family was transferred to the Imagawa clan as a hostage, and it was not until the second year of Hongji that he was allowed by Imagawa Yoshimoto, the main hall of Sunfu, to return to Okazaki Castle to inherit the family business.

Gao Shisheng and this future person of the world, the same age, not only have been friends for a long time, but also have lived in Junfu City as a concentric group, what they lack is just a moment in person.

If in the first few years, I would have been surprised to hear the daimyo Takashi Sheng of Matsudaira Motoshin, and after living in this era for a long time, I would gradually become unsurprised to see too many Shinno celebrities.

I don't know if it's because the world of these five provinces and seven kiki is too small, or if there are too many high-dimensional generals in the countries of Tokaido in the future.

Thinking of this, Gao Shisheng smiled dumbly, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, there will naturally be time in the future to have a good look at Mobao." He looked into the backyard, then at the longhouse on the right, and asked, "Where are the rest of the people in the village?" ”

The acting official arrived, for such a long time, except for the Murono Heizo who was sitting in the door school, he never saw a person again, and he led the horse to the hospital, the rooster crowed and the dog barked, and the movement was not small, and no one came out for a long time.

The facts were indeed as he expected, and Murono Heizo said cautiously: "Today, there is a master from the Honshoji Temple in the village who is opening the altar to teach, and everyone else is going to help inspect the order. ”

In the past two years, the Pure Land True Sect has developed rapidly in Yuanjiang, and many villages in the countryside are believed in the village.

Gao Shisheng was slightly surprised, and secretly said: "The monks of the Yizong Sect are really bold, and they dare to build a temple privately!" "The Pure Land True Sect is another name for the Pure Land True Sect, and the Pure Land True Sect of Tokaido is based on the Mikawa Honshoji School as the lineage.

Although he knew that the other party had violated the law, he should stop it as an acting official, but the temple is powerful and deep-rooted, and it is not something that Gao Shisheng can manage in a small village, not to mention, the Gao clan of Yuanjiang, together with his parents, are all believers in the Pure Land True Sect, and they will take him to Sanhe to visit the temple every year.

In the eyes of outsiders, I am afraid that he is also a follower of the Pure Land Shin Sect, where there are believers who prevent their own sect from preaching the Dharma and expanding their popularity.

Gao Shisheng was helpless in his heart, but on the surface, he could only say kindly: "In this case, please lead the way in front of the scribe, you and I might as well pass the test beforehand." ”

Murono Heizo, in response, hunched his waist, led the way sideways, and walked to the backyard with Gao Shisheng.

……………………

Note 1: Beef balls are indeed wanted by his brother all over the country, as for whether there are posters posted at the gate of every village, this is not carefully checked, the father of the Genji clan is kind and filial piety, brothers and brothers, this kind of heavy money is really common.

During the Edo period, the Shimazu family of the Satsuma clan also discussed taxes and general requests with the villagers, and the Uesugi family of the Yonezawa domain, which was reduced and changed many times, also abandoned the traditional agricultural tax model and opened a joint-stock company with the feudal lords, the common people, and merchants. The Uesugi family invests, the people produce, the feudal priests transport, and the merchants sell, and there is a sense of a certain treasure, and there is a lot of feeling.

Note 2: The Shosho system was cobbled together by combining the Shosho system with the Edo Acting Office, and it is unclear what the most basic management unit was called during the Warring States period.

Here is a quote from Mr. Zhao Ziyue's "The Most Merry Three Kingdoms" Eastern Han Dynasty Pavilion Department staffing, and the structure of the longhouse refers to the pictures of the Edo Acting Office and the popular science map of the Japanese-style Edo Longhouse by Wang Lujiuban, the master of a certain station.

Note 3: A letter of introduction was printed by the ancient imperial court for officials, merchants, etc., who needed to use a post station during a long journey.

Note 4: Tongxinzhong, the general term for middle and lower-level officials during the shogunate period, was mainly responsible for general affairs, public security, and assisting the officials in collecting taxes, etc., which can be understood as the help and idle officials in the yamen during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Note 5: The letter of the ancient official is similar to the appointment letter of the later generations, on which the physical characteristics of the official are written, and the age and place of origin. It was already called this in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Song is also known as the "official complaint". Volume 15 of the "General Dictionary" contains the system of selecting and supplementing officials in the Tang Dynasty: first Jian Servant Shot, it is the door to the province, read it in the matter, the Huangmen Shilang Province, the service in the trial, and those who do not try it have to be refuted, both trial and then hear, and the master is ordered to follow it. Each is given a symbol and printed on it, which is called the body, and the text is said to be the seal of the scribe's department, and the person from birth is given to the minister. The military attache was subject to the Ministry of War.

The Heian Dynasty was modeled after the Tang Dynasty, so it is not surprising to quote the title. Of course, most of the village chief-sized village heads are not able to get the Zhuangtou, at most they are hand-me-downs, mostly made of wood or bamboo, and are used for the same as the first two.
