When I entered the city gate, I immediately felt very different from the outside of the city.

The pedestrians on the streets of the towns in the city are far more lively than the towns scattered outside the city, and although most of the streets and alleys have disappeared, there are still two commercial streets in the southern corner of the city where Gao Shisheng and others entered, and the red lanterns have been lit up early before the sky has completely darkened.

Each merchant sent a lot of traveling girls with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup to stand near the middle door, constantly scratching their heads and posing to solicit guests for the main family.

There are a few restaurants that have received the permission of the city lord and can still open their doors at night, and most of them are places for pleasure such as gambling houses and wine houses, and there are also many merchants who carry their own vibrating sticks to sell along the street after paying a street entrance fee.

People come and go, not noisy, but also very lively.

People who come and go, except for those who do some small business, are either rich or expensive.

Or dressed in silk and satin, or hugging from front to back, from the point of view of clothing, most of them are wealthy merchants who go to Tokaido to sell goods, and occasionally they can wear robes, and monks who have been ordained monks go to these fireworks places to influence the women in the dust, and sacrifice their lives to cross these pink beauties out of the sea of suffering.

Seeing that Gao Shisheng entered the city, there were also several monks in the Zenko Temple, and they couldn't help but look sideways frequently, and they didn't know whether they were resentful of these monks for not abiding by the rules and precepts, or they also wanted to follow them in and participate in the Dharma together.

Echo teams in charge of law and order can be seen everywhere, and these brown-clad and sword-armed people patrol the law and order along Hualiu Street, and at the same time are responsible for driving out the ronins who want to sneak in and be abducted.

Almost every few days, there will be ronins who are arrested and sent to the commission for committing crimes, and there is not much to do about these ruffians who obstruct the security of the city, and the Huijian team actually doesn't have much to do, generally as long as they don't make a mess, they will be beaten at most, and they will be released directly.

That little crime is not enough to be servitude, and if you are imprisoned, you have to take care of the other party's two meals a day, which is not cost-effective, and it can only be dealt with in this way, as long as these ronins pay money to the Huijian group on time every month.

As long as it is not such lawless evil as murder and robbery, the head of the Huijian group is also happy to turn a blind eye, raise his noble hand, and let the other party go.

Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat holes, that's about it.

Although the Yuanjiang Gao clan established their business by law, they have a pedantic side, and there is also no lack of flexible and changeable laws.

Because of the city of drinking horses as the center of the field, many wealthy merchants gathered from all over the world, in order to earn more money from these people, expand the standing flag, and fight against the Yuanjiang wealthy clan who rebelled at that time.

After the castle was enclosed, the then governor of the Toe Gao clan, Gao Shixin, who was also the great-grandfather of Gao Shisheng, demolished some redundant and even less important defensive buildings and opened up such an area in preparation for the opening of the castle town.

However, he did not choose to recruit wealthy merchants to settle in and operate like other daimyo and wealthy families, but chose to give the land to some of the down-and-out clans and let them open these Xiaojin caves.

It can not only accumulate money, but also help the poor people, and when these people are rich, let them feed their families.

There were many wealthy merchants under the Toe Gao clan, although they were not as good as the giants of the Nagata family who crossed the Tokaido, but they were also considered to be the top in the row in Fukichi County, and even with the help of the rights of the Toe Gao clan, they were able to take advantage of the franchise to open a casino in Maisaka-juku, the most important town on the east shore of Lake Hamana.

Therefore, although the Toe Gao clan is less than 20,000 meters tall, this Kanto samurai family who migrated from Ueno can be on an equal footing with the Iyi family, the Asahina family, and the Matsui family, which are the indigenous wealthy families of Tokaido.

Relying on extraordinary financial resources, recruiting troops from the floating prison people and forming a standing flag team that is completely out of production. So that the military service in the territory can have enough time to farm with peace of mind and harvest more soldiers' rations.

With sufficient money and military rations, you can manipulate the local situation to a certain extent, and originally the Gao clan was also going to go out to Shinano, but after the collegiate discussion, the important ministers in the family were unwilling to lose their troops and participate in such a futile joint battle.

So he donated 6,000 stone of military rations to Junfu in one go, and hooked the Yuanjiang Gao clan from the name of going out of the battle, all of which were painstaking and lonely for decades, and the accumulated money and grain could be done so easily.

The carriage soon passed by the entrance of Hualiu Street, Shimazaki Keishinobu and Hasegawa Hayato looked at the two standing at the entrance of Hualiu Street, those beautiful wandering girls, and they were a little eager to try, although these two people did not like each other, but in the hobby of fun, it was surprisingly consistent.

Hualiu Street, as a place to dissipate spirit, is easy to corrupt the local atmosphere, and there are many people who know the truth of 'lewdness, slowness, treachery, filthy gambling and deceit', but there are very few people who can withstand the temptation.

Therefore, in the "Thirty Articles of Musashi", the Yuanjiang Gao clan's own imperial family law, there is a strict prohibition on the samurai at home, standing flag books, and even the good people in the city to enter and leave these places where dirt and dirt are hidden at will.

If the people violated the order, they were only fined heavy money and hard labor, and if there were samurai and standing banners who dared to violate the ban, they would be removed from their family names at the least, and they would be ordered to be ordered to cut their stomachs in front of the middle gate of Hualiu Street and apologize in public.

Gao Shisheng's chariot, driven by two oxen, was quite imposing, and the Huijian group who patrolled the night along the way saw the retainers and samurai leading the way in front, and hurriedly retreated to the side of the road to make way for the chariot.

The Ko clan does not live in the castle tower, but in the western part of the castle.

The high-level pavilion, whose real name is the Okochi Pavilion, is where the Okochi clan lived when they ruled this city, and after seizing this city, in line with the concept of not working the people and losing money, just changed the name of the pavilion, and directly occupied the magpie's nest.

And in a grand manner, most of the courtyard that the Okochi clan worked hard to open up was bulldozed and turned into a school field for martial arts.

From this point of view, in fact, there is almost no difference between the miserly Nagata and the actions of the Yuanjiang Gao clan.

Gao Shi Sheng grew up in the city, and the road became more and more familiar. First, from the avenue to the road, and then from the road to the avenue, around and around, it was not easy to finally arrive outside the house.

The layout of the city is divided according to the 'lanes', and a 'lane' in the city is equivalent to a village in the countryside, and there are also walls and gates to guard against thieves who haunt at night.

Or after the fall of the city, the people of the alleys can also cooperate with the defenders, rely on these walls to continue to resist stubbornly, or gather crowds to protect themselves.

Each lane has a separate prison gate to manage the trivial chores of the townspeople, but it is not like the errand in the village, where there is rice and annual salary, but it is similar to the village village.

At first, it was elected by the townspeople themselves, and it was often some respected old people who took up this prestigious job.

However, until now, basically no matter the alleys in that city, this right has been monopolized by the fixed prison gatekeepers.
