Shen Fei's party, just went to the mountain township where Shen Fei Zhixing was located, Linhe Village, and didn't roam, what else could he do?

"Hey, it's a pity that there aren't many horses at home, otherwise if we borrow a few, we can rush to Lord Fengyuan's Zhixing on the same day." An attendant in the executive hall said with some emotion.

"Haha, even if we have, we can't borrow it, and even if we borrow it, we won't ride it. The other squire laughed.

"By the way, didn't you say that you can go to the horse farm to work and take the opportunity to practice horseback riding?" Shen Fei asked curiously.

"Lord Fengyuan, don't listen to those people's nonsense, people have their own horsemen in the horse farm, so they won't take the horse to the samurai who works to practice, and if it is ridden by the samurai, it is not a claim, it is not a claim, it is not a claim, there are many troubles. ”

"That's right, but you can really practice riding horses in the horse farm, but you have to pay for it, it is said that you have to pay 10 grains and grass for a month to study, and you will be killed!"

Shen Fei raised his eyebrows, this is also a good way, when you have money, you naturally have to learn to ride a horse, although you don't need it, but there must be a reason, isn't it?

This should be said, the knight title given by the Yamada family means that you can ride horses inside the city, not that you can't ride horses outside the city or on the battlefield without this title.

But as we all know, the cost of raising horses is too expensive, so the Yamada family, a daimyoshi of 120,000 koku, does not have their own exclusive horse reserves, but the samurai are not decent without mounts, so the samurai of the Yamada family who have a little wealth have more than one mount. Like Kanda-sama, his subordinate samurai are equipped with mounts. This is also the reason why there is a horse farm in Yamada Town.

It's just that Shen Fei doesn't have to think about the mount for the time being, and ordinary horses all cost 5 yuan. The most rubbish war horse also needs 10 runs, and if you have a horse, you have to have a stable at home, a groom, and you have to be responsible for the purchase of grain, grass, soybeans and other things for the horses, hehe, a lot of money, so let's wait until you save enough money to think about it.

"That's right, Lord Fengyuan. Didn't the samurai from where you came come from send you a few maids? Why did you get them back? How embarrassed that you don't have a servant in that house? A low-level samurai who had nothing to do and ran out to join in the fun asked curiously.

There is not much difference between low-level samurai and those who receive a share of the squire, so everyone can mix together, but once the samurai gains authority or is promoted to the rank of black iron. I don't like to deal with these low-level characters, which is why everyone desperately wants to get samurai qualifications.

"Hey, I don't have any relatives or friends in Fengyuan Village, so don't accept the kindness of Fengyuan Village anymore. After all, the quota of my maid can be used for my knowledge and practice. Shen Fei said with emotion.

"That's true. If you can recruit a few minions on Zhixing, it will be much easier for you to manage Zhixing. The samurai nodded approvingly.

Shen Fei just nodded, this kind of behavior of recruiting people from his own territory is also a kind of buying the hearts of the people, how could Shen Fei, who has experienced such a world, not understand? At the same time, he is also trying to cut off the relationship with Fengyuan Village, without the people of Fengyuan Village, there will be fewer opportunities for him to be exposed. When there is a period of continuation, then you are not afraid of anyone questioning yourself.

Of course, this also has to do with the hint of the lord before his own body. As soon as the goods heard that they knew that they were divided into mountain towns, they immediately came to the door with gifts. I'm also going to send my maid.,I became a samurai before.,I went to visit and talked about this thing for a while.。 Looking at the appearance of this goods, it is not clear what he thinks? Isn't he just glad that he didn't go back to fight with him for the right to the village?

So for this kind of cautious look, Shen Fei didn't even bother to remember his name, it's a pity that the same village hung up as soon as he appeared.

"By the way, how does our Yamada family's military dispatch method calculate?" Shen Fei suddenly asked with something in mind.

"Ten stones sent troops alone, Lord Fengyuan, I really envy you that you can form a team on your own as soon as you become a samurai, and you can also hang your own family crest, which is really envious and speechless. The samurai said with a look of envy and jealousy.

Shen Fei knew what the other party envied, it was definitely not because of the knowledge and deeds, this was in exchange for military exploits, there was nothing to envy, what the other party envied should be that he could hang a flag and designate a family crest. It stands to reason that only intermediate warriors have this qualification, but who let it be such a coincidence, a battle is decided to win or lose, and Shen Fei actually got this goods, and naturally won such an honor.

It's just that Shen Fei didn't care about this, he was worried about the ten troops, although it was no problem to pull out 10 old men casually, but the important thing was that Shen Fei had to start forming a team, how could he get ten strong people out, and then take them to train, so that he could reap the benefits in the battle, right?

But it's easy to pull people, even the poorest Zhixing can definitely pull out ten strong people, even if you train them, it's no problem, Shen Fei must be good at it. But the biggest problem is how to keep them eating, drinking, and living, and at the same time have to prepare equipment for them! This is even more of a big problem, because there is no money!

"It seems that we can only wait for the autumn harvest to be counted, and I hope that the surrounding forces will jump out after the autumn harvest, right? It's just that it shouldn't be possible, everyone knows that the autumn harvest is the most painful, and with the support of other forces, the surrounding forces of the Yamada family will not know the reason for taking advantage of their illness to kill them? Hey, it's really distressing. Shen Fei couldn't help muttering.

The group walked all the way giggling and laughing, all the way, whenever they met the peasants kneeling on both sides, these guys straightened their waists and posed a majestic appearance, waving the banner of the Yamada family and the black lotus, and walked by with a stern face, waiting for no one to look like they were giggling.

Just walked and stopped, and spent one night in a village on the way, and only came to Linhe Village in the mountain township at noon the next day.

That's right, Shen Fei's Zhixing was directly divided into the place near the countryside of Yamada City, far away from the center and adjacent to other counties.

I won't talk about it when I stay away from the center, after all, everyone knows that the Yamada family is working hard to pursue the direct transfer of Yamada Township, where Yamada Castle is located, and the old retainers' fiefs are doing everything possible to transfer them to other townships. Not to mention a newcomer like Shen Fei.

But it's a little hard to say that it's adjacent to other counties, not to mention that half of this mountain township is a semi-subservient local tyrant, but it's a little speechless next to Donghai County. Well. The so-called semi-surrender is that you are admitted to be your courtiers, and you can pay tribute every year, but you can't touch my territory, and whether to send troops to fight or not depends entirely on the mood at the time.

Originally, these local tyrants wanted to be as independent as the independent tyrants of other townships, but who let them be adjacent to Donghai County? In desperation, they had no choice but to semi-surrender to the Yamada family.

Tokai County is one of the two counties in Kikukatsu Province that does not have a strong daimyo, and this county is not rich in fields and mountains. However, there is a national highway connecting the east and west, and there are several excellent ports, so the war in Tokai-gun is concentrated on this national highway and several ports.

It stands to reason that it has nothing to do with the Yamada family. After all, it was too late for the more than 200,000 stone daimyo to kill each other, so how could they care about the trouble of the Yamada family? Moreover, because of the existence of this Donghai County, the local tyrants of the mountain township were all semi-subservient to the Yamada family, so that the Yamada family nominally owned the mountain township completely. It can be regarded as the contribution of the Yamada family to occupy ten of the seventeen townships in Yamada County.

But if you really want to let the Yamada family decide. I can't wait to throw away the mountain township directly, and I don't want one-tenth of the territory! Anyway, there is now one more inkstone township, and the number of ten townships is still maintained.

The reason why this is the case is not because of the proximity to Donghai County, after all, there are more than 200,000 stone daimyos, and there is a local tyrant below, and few can occupy the national highway and port to collect taxes and live, and what should I do if other people are poor and can't get by? Find the local tycoons in the mountains and ask for money to live.

At the beginning, some of the daimyo who failed to compete for the national highway and port were ready to kill the local tyrants in the mountain township and occupy the mountain township. However, the Yamada family can allow those fleas to jump and bite behind their buttocks, but they do not allow rats to jump and bite behind their buttocks, so they will naturally suppress such behavior.

It's just a pity that under the decision to suppress the top five, the large and small forces of the entire Ju Shengguo, and even the large and small forces around the Ju Shengguo, have the same purpose, so the Yamada family will inexplicably give up halfway every time.

The local tyrants of the mountains who were crushed in the middle, after coming down a few times, found that they had no benefit at all, and they almost wiped out their clan!

It's just that the daimyo of Tokai County, although they know that they can't occupy the land, but they have other options, that is, like the autumn harvest, the autumn harvest invades and harvests every year, so that they will not be beaten by the Yamada family, and they can reap the benefits, why not?

But in this way, those looted local tyrants will cry and make trouble, Boss Yamada, although I am semi-surrendered, but I also pay tribute to you every year, you see that I was robbed and didn't come to comfort me and not help to retaliate? Don't blame me for not paying tribute!

The Yamada family directly scolded, relying on it! I wish you didn't pay tribute! Lao Tzu led people to run over with hard work, and you guys will drag their feet to help the bastards, so that Lao Tzu has no benefit from contributing money and efforts! Lao Tzu doesn't want this boss to be famous, okay?

It's a pity, no, if you want to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Yamada family for many years, you must also look like the boss, otherwise you will throw away your subordinates when you encounter danger and trouble, then don't want to subdue the local tyrants who are densely packed behind the fart!

Therefore, the Yamada family can only grit their teeth, and every time the local tyrants in the mountain township sack Donghai County, they will give some compensation and comfort to keep the local tyrants in a semi-surrendered state. As for sending troops to retaliate?

And this also attracted the sweet-mouthed Donghai County forces, ensuring the invasion and looting operations after the autumn harvest every year, and also allowing the local tyrants in the mountain towns to learn how to hide things to avoid the collection of the East China Sea forces, and how to cheat the daily habits of asking for compensation from the Yamada family.

Anyway, the entire mountain township is in chaos, and Shen Fei's Zhixing is actually placed in such a place, it is conceivable that it must not be a good thing.

Therefore, when Shen Fei and others came, none of the local tyrants came forward, only the village leader of Linhe Village led a few of his subordinates to come over lazily, and Hala led Shen Fei and them to see the place where Zhixing was located in a few words, which was not incomprehensible.
