Chapter 20, directly under the fishing village
Shen Fei met with the boatman Taro very indifferently, originally thinking that it was about borrowing a boat for training. Shen Fei knew that the river would become more spacious the further down it went, and it could also reach Haikou directly, so he naturally wanted his subordinates to understand the nature of water. Not to mention fighting on the water, at least you won't get seasick when you log in by boat to maintain your combat effectiveness. I just had a fishing village at my own house, so of course I had to take advantage of this convenience to train my subordinates.
It's just that before Shen Fei could ask the boatman Taro if he was willing to borrow a few boats and send out a few people to help, the boatman Taro directly knelt down and said, "My lord, the fishing village is willing to be under the direct jurisdiction of the adult." ”
As soon as he heard this, he knew what was going on, and Shen Fei's eyes rolled and he understood, this boatman Taro obviously saw that his soldiers were treated so well, and his training was so good, he began to be optimistic about himself, and was ready to bet that he would make a big fortune.
Shen Fei is very satisfied with such some speculative behavior, which shows that his ability can be understood, in the final analysis, isn't the struggle for power to gather people, some people take refuge in themselves, even if they have conspiracies, it is no problem, not to mention that there are no tricks in this fishing village at all, it is just the idea that these fisherman leaders are looking forward to obtaining the status of a samurai.
So Shen Fei smiled very happily: "Haha, Lord Boatman, is this preparing the whole village to serve me?"
"Yes, the adults, and the small ones represent the entire fishing village and are willing to be the direct territory of the adults. The boatman Taro said respectfully. I was really a little apprehensive about making this decision, because making this decision meant that the future income of the fishing village would have to be four or six points with the Fengyuan family, and the income of ten yuan would have to be given to the Fengyuan family six yuan. It is no longer the same as before, and there is nothing else to do if you pay 1,000 catties of raw fish a year, and when the Fengyuan family has projects and battles, the fishing village has to be sent out to serve by men, women and children. It is no longer the state before, as long as the interests are not enough, there is no need to deal with it at all.
"Very well, tell me how much you really earn in a year. Shen Fei said indifferently.
In the previous question, the boatman Taro had already prepared. So without hesitation, he said respectfully: "My lord, the entire fishing village, 8 fishing boats and 7 bamboo rafts, can harvest 23,200 catties of raw fish a year. Speaking of this, my heart was a little bitter, so I gave sixty percent to the Fengyuan family! These sixty percent stayed in the village, how much food and materials could be bought and replaced with new ships!
Shen Fei Yang Yang frowned, this fishing village is enough for cattle, and he fished 23,000 catties of raw fish at home, but he only paid 1,000 catties of raw fish. But Shen Fei didn't care about this. Instead, he looked overhead with joy and felt that the river had made it clear that it would bring him 23,200 pounds of dried fish!
Twenty-three thousand two hundred pounds of dried fish! Not only can it be stored for a longer time, but it is also more expensive. A pound of raw fish is only a penny, and a pound of dried fish is at least 10 yuan! That's a tenfold increase! As long as you exchange it, you can know that 23,200 catties of dried fish is equal to 230 stone of rice, which is 23 times more than the previous 10 stone of rice!
The most important thing is not how much rice can be exchanged for huàn, but the dried fish! With this batch of dried fish, I don't need to buy food from outside. It's enough to satisfy yourself with an army all over the world!
In comparison, Shen Fei really didn't need to care about the sixty percent tax of these 23,200 catties of raw fish, but he also knew that it was not good to be too arrogant, so he didn't deliberately reduce the ratio of citizens' harvests. just nodded and said: "According to the current harvest, for every 10,000 catties of raw fish, I will reward you with two fishing boats in the fishing village." When the total harvest reaches 100,000 catties, I will reward your fishing village with a sea boat!"
"Thank you, Lord for your grace!" the boatman Taro shouted respectfully. It's just that this is only a benefit for the village, and there is no private benefit yet, but how can this matter be said?
The boatman Taro was hesitating. Shen Fei has already said: "You led the fishing village to belong to me, and you have contributed to my Fengyuan family, and I hereby give you 10 stone Zhixing to become the ten-stone warrior of my Fengyuan family, and give you three five-stone warrior quotas, and absorb the elite under your command into the family and become the five-stone warrior of the Fengyuan family." ”
"Greetings to the lord!" finally got what he dreamed of, and the shouts of the boatman Taro were already with Tik Tok.
Shen Fei asked the boatman Taro to step back, and after tidying up his clothes, he led the three subordinates to meet again. As for the trivial matter of changing clothes, Shen Fei's two guys with copper coins on their heads will naturally deal with it, and as for their own group of envy and jealousy, there is no need to talk about it at all. I believe they are also understanding people, and the boatman Taro took refuge in the entire fishing village, and his annual income expanded from 1,000 catties of raw fish to 12,930 catties of raw fish. Coupled with more than a hundred young men and more than a dozen fishing boats, it is really normal to reward one ten-stone warrior and three five-stone warriors with such merits.
Maybe this will make those ashigaru screaming and desperate training. Anyway, Shen Fei maintains a purpose, no merit will not be canonized as a warrior, and no matter how much land there is, he will not be canonized, otherwise how can he show the preciousness of the identity of a warrior.
And Shen Fei is also slippery, not talking about their warrior level at all, only using the number of Zhixing to divide the high and low. This is also a matter of impassability, who made Shen Fei, although he has thousands of stones and several square kilometers of land, but he is only the lowest-level bronze trekking warrior of the Yamada family?
Shen Fei, who didn't care about this, leisurely began to make the samurai identity documents and Zhixing canonization documents of the Zuò Fengyuan family. Shen Fei, who has seen countless prosperous documents, of course, made these two texts mysterious and noble, using special kraft paper, with cumbersome and mysterious patterns around them, and a huge black lotus watermark in the middle, and finally wrote beautiful and mighty words on it, and finally marked with the black lotus seal and his own signature, a document that is extremely noble at a glance is released.
As for the division between knowledge and action, that's not easy, just the paddy field next to the fishing village. Twenty-five stones, just scratching out these paddy fields. These are paddy fields that have not yet been completely cultivated, but if the farmland around the fishing village is completely cultivated, it will definitely reach 200 koku. And the twenty-five stone can be turned into fifty stone, which is even a benefit to the first samurai.
Of course, there is farmland near the fishing village, but this is not a fishing village, and the people in the fishing village can't farm, so they can only salivate at the rice seedlings in the farmland.
Shen Fei really wanted to completely pick up the land in his own territory, and carefully calculate how much knowledge and action his own territory could have, not to completely collect the income of the people, but for the income of the golden finger on his head! If you find a corn field of 1,000 koku, you will directly turn it into rice of 1,000 koku. Not to mention the increased income after large-scale reclamation. It's just a pity that there are not enough people, and now there are only about 200 people who can be commanded by their own subordinates, and nearly half of them are women and children.
And after getting these two villages with a combined population of nearly 1,000 people. It is absolutely impossible for these guys to break away from secular rule and hide in the mountains to live by themselves, I believe that after the whole territory is scraped, they should be able to make their own people close to two thousand, and then spread the virtue certificate to the merchants in Tongguò, which should be able to seduce a group of wild people, and then desperately reclaim. Hehe, by next year, maybe the golden finger on the top of his head can directly give a 10,000-stone rice! It's not difficult to sweep through Donghai County!
Shen Fei was excitedly imagining, the boatman Taro and his three subordinates were also excited and restless, and after the four guys got the good news, they rushed directly to Shen Fei's logistics department. found the two logistics directors and bought four sets of clothes printed with black lotus patterns.
Although the two pursuers were envious and jealous, they did not dare to make things difficult, and even the benefits were shirked again and again. Because these two goods know that they are still ordinary people, and the four people in front of them are already samurai!
Although there is sanity. But when I think that these people were the first batch of samurai vassals of adults, but now they have become the first batch of vassals in front of me, relying on it! The first batch of qualifications, which year, month, and era, is a particularly awesome group! Now that these four goods are preempted, it is strange that my heart can be comfortable!
Looking at the smiling faces squeezed out by the two commissioners, the four of them were very comfortable in their hearts, and they were secretly proud, who let you guys have no military merits and no village? Although these four of you have no military merits, they have a village, and they also hand over more than 12,000 catties of raw fish to the master's family every year! Therefore, it is natural for the four of them to be canonized by the samurai, and if you want to be resentful, you can resent why there is no long-sighted thief group to trouble you!
In the same way, the four boatmen Taro, even if they knew that they were the first batch of retainers of the Fengyuan family, they only dared to be secretly complacent, and they did not dare to show it, because they knew that the ashigaru personally trained by the lord was the real descendant of the lord, and the number of descendants in this line was too large, a full sixty-two! There were only four people on his side, how could he dare to be arrogant! Aren't you afraid that after these people become samurai, they will be unable to breathe in their fishing village? It's just not to say that they will become the suppression of the samurai in the future, and if they don't cooperate with the people who control the force now, they can't move.
Therefore, there is such an enlightened boatman Taro, who is the most impulsive Saburo among them, and he also looks friendly, and his mouth is very sweet and he is very happy with these two observants.
After having a party and a drink, the four guys rushed home with their clothes, shouting and shouting that the women in the family would help them take a bath and tie their hair, and let the women look for brand-new shoes and socks halfway through, and even scolded the children in the family to oil and wipe their sabers.
Then there was a new look, and the whole person was much more mighty, and the boatman Taro, led three cronies, holding his waist straight, taking imaginary samurai steps, and walking briskly to meet Shen Fei. As for the longing and blessings of the family before leaving home, and the envy and fear of the villagers on the way, these eyes do not need to be said, if they were not forcibly suppressed, they would have floated up long ago.
Shen Fei seemed very casual, but the four of the boatmen Taro seemed to have a very grand ceremony held like this, in fact, it was nothing, Shen Fei just recruited all the soldiers, and the ashigaru arched around, and the twelve squads and those two went down to watch the ceremony. Fill this deliberately enlarged curtain.
The four guys of the boatman Taro, where did they notice the simplicity and narrowness of the venue, they noticed the majesty of the lord, the magnificence and mystery of the documents, and the envious and jealous eyes of the other ashigaru, especially when they saw that their own Zhixing is the paddy field outside the fishing village, knowing how fertile this paddy field is, and how much Zhixing can be expanded, they have long been so excited that they are as dizzy as drunk, where do they want to get anything else.
Shen Fei drove the ashigaru back to train and motioned for the four retainers to come closer.
As soon as they saw this posture, they knew that there was a task, and the boatman Taro and the others hurriedly moved a few steps forward respectfully, kneeling carefully and solemnly, waiting for Shen Fei to speak.
But as soon as Shen Fei spoke, their faces changed greatly: "Who is your enemy?" (To be continued......)
