Chapter 15, the formation of the Black Lotus Ashigaru (I)

This is not counted, the coolest thing is that Shen Fei has sensed from the image above his head that he has expanded from 100 stones to 1,230 stones, which means that as long as the autumn harvest arrives, he will be able to produce 1,200 stones of rice out of thin air!

This is the coolest, you don't need to do anything, you can have rice falling, plus the harvest of your own knowledge, hehe, cool, enough income of more than 2,400 stones!

No, no, the knowledge of 100 stones is only nominal, according to the tax of the six gongs and four peasants, he can only receive sixty percent, that is, six or seven hundred stones! Damn!

After bidding farewell to the slaughterer, Shen Fei rushed forward to receive the borrowed materials. Now Shen Fei's confidence is very strong, because 100 stones of rice is enough for him to support the autumn harvest, and once the autumn harvest comes, not to mention whether the grain on Zhixing can be harvested, at least he will definitely have an income of more than 1,200 stones.

Purely in terms of income, he can already compare to the Wanshi Daimyo, after all, those Wanshi Daimyo still have to feed the retainers to cultivate the city, where they are like themselves, just raise a few soldiers. But this kind of thing can't be known to others, otherwise it will cause a big problem.

I don't know if the Yamada family cares about the little materials lent out, or if they believe in Shen Fei's credibility, anyway, after approving the slip, they didn't send anyone to follow the account.

Maybe people would like Shen Fei to exchange these materials for money and escape, because Shen Fei's Zhixing is at least more than 1,000 stones, if he hadn't already sealed Zhixing. At the same time, he is still a ghost in Linhe Village, I am afraid that Shen Fei's knowledge and practice have long been robbed by other middle and low-level warriors.

So, now everyone knows the conditions given by the Yamada family. Everyone waited for Shen Fei's knowledge and deeds to be deprived, and some guys were even afraid that the local tyrants of Donghai County would not move, so they specially sent people to contact them.

In their minds, this Donghai County would definitely not dare to occupy this land, after all, Shen Fei was a member of the Yamada family no matter what. So the best result is that Shen Fei is deprived of Zhixing, and then this Zhixing is being distributed to himself, and he will definitely be able to keep this land!

And even if you don't give this piece of land directly to yourself. That can also be redivided into more than a dozen hundred stones Zhixing, and more than a dozen samurai Zhixing can be sealed immediately. How can you not do this thing that you can't get and benefit your subordinates?

So under the machinations of these people. Shen Fei naturally found out very lightly that he couldn't find anyone to help transport the rice equipment to his own Zhixing. It's just a few guys who went to Zhixing with him before, and they pretended to be unable to help after receiving the task!

Damn, who is Shen Fei, he naturally immediately understood that this was someone who was ready to watch himself lively. Prepare to expect your knowledge and deeds to be deprived!

There is a way to turn Shen Fei's eyes on this. Ask a few ashigaru who have nothing to do, help you transport the borrowed materials and the remaining rice from your own house to the castle town, exchange your own rice for a few times, and get a hundred black lotus flags, and then shout at the most lively excuse in the castle town:

"The Yamada family's Toyogen Village Taro is recruiting! Now there are 60 young people, as long as they are selected, they will be covered with food, shelter and equipment, and they will also be given a bucket of rice every month!

Shen Fei knew that now was not the time to recruit. I don't want to recruit people in this castle town, after all, the people in the castle town are known to be a little treacherous. No, I can't. Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, the manpower in the countryside is busy in the farmland, if you dare to go to the countryside to recruit soldiers, not to mention being beaten out by the local tyrants, even Yamada City will be dissatisfied with Shen Fei, so there is no way, so you have to recruit those idlers in the castle town.

Not to mention, Shen Fei shouted like this, and a large group of people were surrounded at once, no one believed Shen Fei's lies, after all, Shen Fei has also been used to the castle these days, and many people have seen this guy drinking with the samurai of the Yamada family in the tavern even if they don't know him.

And now Shen Fei is wearing the samurai uniform of the Yamada family, and there is also the ashigaru of the Yamada family by his side to maintain order, and there are also several truckloads of rice and several truckloads of weapons and equipment behind him, as well as a lot of supporting flags, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a lie.

"My lord, are you recruiting the Ashgaru of the Yamada family?" asked a man dressed as a wandering samurai.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him in amazement, Shen Fei naturally knew what they thought, if the wandering warrior didn't have particularly outstanding skills, it didn't matter, don't want to become a daimyo warrior. This is normal, in addition to his own excellence, the wild samurai must also have a relationship, otherwise who believes that you are a guy of unknown origin? Like Shen Fei, who was directly promoted, is different, although he jumped from a peasant soldier to a samurai, but Shen Fei's body is a peasant soldier from Fengyuan Village, a native from the old nest of the Yamada family, and he does not need to check the issue of loyalty, and he can be promoted directly when his merits are achieved. This is the case with any daimyo family, and if they don't take care of their own people, can they still take care of outsiders? A question of loyalty makes the daimyo have to promote their own people.

Therefore, many wild samurai want to regain their status as samurai, and they can only choose to become ashigaru, and then make meritorious contributions to become samurai. It's just that this ashigaru is not so easy to be, as mentioned earlier, there are a lot of native farmers under his own hands, and it is naturally easy to select a group of ashigaru from it, such ashigaru is loyal and obedient, or his own people, with such benefits, why choose outsiders?

Therefore, it is very troublesome for wild samurai to want to be a daimyo of Ashigaru, not to mention that some wild samurai still think that they are very good, and they are reserved and waiting to become samurai directly, and they don't want to get up from Ashigaru at all.

Of course, in these years, many people have been tormented by stomach problems and want to die, so when they heard that Shen Fei actually recruited Zuqing, naturally their eyes lit up. Don't underestimate it, because this is a samurai family with a fixed salary, and it is also the first threshold to become a samurai, and not everyone can get it!

For hungry people, being able to become Ashigaru is already a great thing for the world's pie ancestors.

"It's not the ashigaru directly under the Yamada family, but the ashigaru directly under my Toyogen Village Taro, that is, the black lotus of my Toyogen family!" Shen Fei smiled and pointed to the black lotus flag behind him.

"Dare to ask what rank your lord has in the Yamada family?" the wild samurai asked again with his eyes narrowed, and the others all listened with their ears pricked up, apparently taking the ronin samurai as their spokesperson.

Just looking at the hot eyes of these people, it is obvious that they have already moved very much, in this world, samurai is the trend, so one of the qiē about samurai is that the old farmers in the countryside know that the samurai of the Yamada family in front of him, no matter what his identity is, but since he has his own family crest, it is equivalent to a semi-independent samurai.

Because Shen Fei still relies on the Yamada family, as long as he doesn't break away from the Yamada family, he doesn't need anyone's permission to attack anyone who is not Yamada's belongings or allies. The place he fought down was naturally his own private property, and he didn't have to pay any taxes to the Yamada family. Even if you send troops to fight for the Yamada family, you only need to lead the troops required by the Zhixing canonized by the Yamada family. Of course, it's no problem for you to bring more soldiers, anyway, the Yamada family divides the tasks according to your knowledge and deeds, and rewards them according to the situation of the mission.

Similarly, the fact that you have reaped so many benefits from this semi-independence has nothing to do with the Yamada family, so when a more powerful enemy comes to attack you and destroy you, don't blame the Yamada family for ignoring it as well. And once your enemy invades the territory that the Yamada family canonized to you, at that time, the Yamada family may fall into the well and directly deprive you of your knowledge and deeds, so that the enemy can not continue to attack, and at the same time let you be a landless samurai, obediently wait for death in the Yamada family.

So don't look at the samurai who put up the flag is very awesome, you can fight whoever you want, and the land you beat down does not need to pay tribute to the master's family, but few will do this, generally pay tribute to part of the income, mainly money and food and other materials to the master's family, so that when the enemy attacks, you can ask for reinforcements from the master's house. Of course, if you are so awesome with Shen Fei, then there is no need to say it, eat more and occupy more, and it is not impossible to destroy the main family in the end.

Shen Fei knew the meaning of this wandering warrior's inquiry, that is, how much knowledge and deeds he had, because such a wandering warrior was preparing to be a samurai, the purpose was to be a warrior, if the land of the main family was not enough, then he would not be able to divide the knowledge and deeds of his subordinates, so there would be no future, and no one would be willing to do it, at least such a wandering warrior would not be willing.

So Shen Fei smiled directly: "My Zhixing starts from the east bank of Linhe Village in Shanluan Township and ends near the border of Donghai County. He didn't even say anything about his status as a samurai, because this so-called bronze apprentice was the lowest level of samurai, and he was not qualified to recruit vassals at all. Although once the flag is erected, he has the qualifications to recruit retainers, but who made Shen Fei still hang a lowest-level samurai status, how can he appoint a samurai rank to his retainers?

The crowd was stunned for a while and then immediately burst into an uproar, if it was in the countryside, Shen Fei would not have caused such a shock when he said this, but this is Yamada Joshita Town, it is the largest castle town in the Yamada family's sphere of influence, and the people here have also worked odd jobs with the caravan even if they are idlers, so in order to earn a living, they naturally know the situation of the Yamada family's sphere of influence.

If there is still some ambiguity in other places, but in the area adjacent to Tokai-gun, there are many merchants in the castle town. It is somewhat surprising to say that after the samurai of Tokai County looted the property of that land, they all sold it on the spot and went home with the money, and most of the people who bought the looted goods were merchants from Yamada Castle Town. And the people who followed the caravan to do odd jobs naturally participated in such activities.

Because of this, even if they didn't have a direct understanding, they also understood how wide the range from the east bank of Linhe Village to the border of Donghai County was, so they exclaimed in surprise, because this land has at least a thousand stones!

The eyes of the wild warriors present, whether they knew about this situation themselves or only knew about it after hearing about it, all of them lit up. (To be continued......)
