The group pushed the cart, planted the flag, wore bamboo armor, and held weapons, and went on the road with a swagger.

You don't need to worry about robbers or anything, this section of the road is the main traffic artery of the Yamada family, and from time to time there are patrols of the Yamada family, and at the same time, the surrounding villages are all owned, that is to say, there are samurai and strong men, so it is very safe. Shen Fei and a few attendants had been serving before, swaggering along this road, and no one had ever intercepted him.

Therefore, Shen Fei didn't pay any attention to the team's lazy and lazy appearance, and let them relax for a while, and when they reached their destination, they would have to complain for a long time.

In this way, the group of people easily and after three days of hard work, they finally arrived at Shen Fei's Zhixing.

Seeing Shen Fei's armed arrival in Linhe Village, Linhe Village was still vigilant at first, but after seeing Shen Fei's banner, it was immediately disbanded, but the strange thing is that the head of Linhe Village did not send someone out, but not long after, dozens of old and young people and four or five young people, full of grief and numbness, carried a lot of messy things out of the village.

Then these dozens of people were stunned by Shen Fei and the others, came to Shen Fei and knelt down, and an old man said tremblingly: "Lord Lord, we will be the lords of your territory in the future." ”

"I, I'm!" Shen Fei could only use these words to express his feelings, how could the farmland on the other side of his river beach look like fifty or sixty stones? It stands to reason that there are only a dozen or so young people, but now there are only four or five young people, and the other thirty-four are old and young? And what is this? Driving them all out of the village and becoming his own people, doesn't this mean that he still has to be responsible for their houses and food? Rely on it! It must be the land that has been unhappily divided at the head of Linhe Village, so he is such a burden to himself!

Of course, the people who were sent to the door would not be pushed out, Shen Fei naturally had no ambiguity among his subordinates, and asked sternly: "I know that the line is so vast, just you people?" and didn't let them get up. Because this is the appearance of Xiàn's own power, don't you see that the soldiers under his command have already besieged these farmers in a majestic manner?

As for Shen Fei asking this, it was because he knew the situation in this kind of world, don't look at the chaotic times where there is no day and no war, but because the people who fought were samurai and a small part of Ashigaru, those peasant soldiers who were the main force, if they won the battle, maybe the number of people would be inexplicably much more, and everyone was waiting for the main family to win and get some rewards. If the battle is lost, there will definitely be no peasant soldiers left. All of them disappeared halfway through the battle.

So after a big battle, all the samurai and ashigaru died, and the peasants would not die much. Only in a special area like the dense fog area, there will be a large number of peasant soldiers dying, and Shen Fei was able to kill so many peasant soldiers by relying on the convenience of this terrain at the beginning, otherwise, hehe, once the situation is not right, the peasant soldiers will run out long ago.

Although it is said that the samurai have privileges. There was nothing to do with slashing people at will, and some samurai took to the streets to slash dozens of people they saw in order to test their swords, as long as he was a local samurai. There was no problem at all. It seems that people live in a very sad world, but this is the same as encountering a plane crash, only the unlucky people will meet it, and the rest of the people live in peace. Most of the deaths are starvation, and they are still at a certain age. In order to save food for the family, the old man himself went into the mountains and starved to death.

So in this situation, don't look at the daimyo can only mobilize dozens, hundreds, and thousands of people to fight, but the number of farmers under their names is many, many, and even a samurai who can only send a hundred troops, the total number of people under their command may be three or four thousand.

The only thing that bothered the samurai to increase their strength was the lack of food, not a problem of food, but the fact that other consumption consumed a lot of food, because all the required qiē consumption had to be exchanged for guò food. So don't look at the high grain commission, the samurai are still very aggrieved. It's the businessmen who really live a chic life.

Therefore, Shen Fei is very strange, it stands to reason that such a large place as his own family, several square kilometers, although most of them are mountains and forests, but mountains and forests can also have harvests, right?

The old man, well, said to be an old man, in fact, he was only a man in his forties, and in these years, once he reached the age of fifty and was not hanging, and his body was weakened and he could not work, he would go into the mountains and wait for death. So these forty-somethings can already be called old men.

When the old man heard Shen Fei's question, he was stunned for a moment before he understood, and hurriedly put his head on the ground and said, "Lord Lord, we are only responsible for cultivating the farmland on the river beach, and those who survive in the mountains and forests and rivers do not live in the villages, but form their own villages in the mountains and forests. ”

"Oh, a little bit of knowledge, have you contributed to the original master's family?" Shen Fei's eyes flashed, and he had already found that the old man in front of him, well, a middle-aged man, spoke in a somewhat orderly manner, unlike other people who didn't dare to speak.

"Yes, my lord, the younger one used to be the head of the family. The middle-aged man said very obediently.

"Very good, since you are all my subjects, then as a lord, I naturally have to give a meeting gift, regardless of men, women, old and young, two cents per person, one liter of rice. Shen Fei said very generously.

The leaders of the two copper coins immediately led their subordinates to distribute copper coins and rice grains to them, and these leaders naturally immediately knelt on the ground excitedly and shouted: "Thank you for the lord's reward, may the lord be the lord of Wandai!"

Shen Fei found a place to sit down, well, his direct subordinates quickly set up a long maza, and quickly pulled out a curtain of ten square meters with cheap fabric, and then two guarded the door, four guarded in the four corners, although it looked simple and extraordinary, but a Ling Ran aura naturally appeared.

It stands to reason that Shen Fei doesn't need to be so arrogant, such a posture is only the kind of Wanshi Daimyo who will always put on a score, but who let Shen Fei's subordinates are all idlers who have been in the city for many years, not to mention anything else, this kind of sycophant ability is definitely very powerful. They also know that there will be no waste of this kind of arrangement, and the curtains can be put away and reused, that is, just a little manpower, but this can show the unique majesty of their own adults, in this case, why not?

Sure enough, as soon as this posture came out, Shen Fei felt bored and shabby. But in the eyes of those new leaders, and even in the eyes of those novices, it was a completely different feeling, as if the adult he was following was a real highness. Naturally, each that should be respectful becomes more respectful, and what should be mighty becomes more powerful.

"What's your name?" Shen Fei sat above the curtain and asked very indifferently. Isn't it just pretending, Shen Fei knows the people of this world too well, he respects the powerful and majestic, as long as he puts out his own money, many things can get twice the result with half the effort. As for the loadout, not at all. Just restore your mentality to the point that it is a mess, and you will immediately show a momentum that makes people willing and convincing. "Lord Lord, the little one is called Guardian Saburo. The middle-aged man said very respectfully.

"Well, tell me how many villages there are in my territory, and how many people each village has. Shen Fei said indifferently.

The soldier Saburo didn't dare to raise his head, so he knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, there are three villages in your territory, one of which is a fishing village that makes a living from fishing in this Maruyama River. It was built on the lower reaches of the river and had about 100 people. His Royal Highness had ordered them to hand over 1,000 catties of fish and meat every year, otherwise they would not be allowed to fish in the river again. ”

Shen Fei raised his eyebrows: "Thousands of catties of fish, it can't be dried, right?"

"It used to be dried fish, just because the tribute was too heavy. Therefore, the fishing village was directly abandoned for a period of time, and it was not until the Linhe Village Hall changed the dried fish into raw meat that the fishing village continued to exist. Now that the fishing village belongs to you, your lord, you can let them continue to maintain this tribute. Beizaburo said.

Shen Fei didn't think about it. Because this thousand catties of raw fish and meat is equivalent to his ten stones of rice, don't be surprised. Rice is very expensive, and the degree is measured by rice. One pound of rice can be exchanged for 3 pounds of millet or 5 pounds of corn, and in addition to the fertile rice fields, all other places are planted with millet and corn, which can be converted into rice after harvesting.

And Shen Fei's so-called hundred stone knowledge and action, that is, materials or money worth a hundred stones of rice. Therefore, Shen Fei's farmland above his head can actually add more than 1,200 stones of rice to him out of thin air, which can be imagined What a huge fortune.

Shen Fei, who felt that his pocket was very bulging, didn't care at all, but at this moment, there was suddenly an extra river in the image of the rice field above his head, and then Shen Fei was a little shocked to find that he could actually get 10 stone dried fish from this extra river!

This shocked Shen Fei almost jumped up, by the way, this is dried fish instead of raw fish! The value difference is five times, okay?! And this is nothing, what really shocked Shen Fei is that now that he finds that there is a raw fish tribute in his own territory, the image above his head will have many dried fish tributes, so if he finds that there is a wood tribute or ore tribute, will the avatar of his brain directly become a metal tribute of wood and gold, silver, copper and iron?!

Well, maybe that's really the case! All of them have been raised to the best level, and you can see what is going on by directly calculating Zhixing's income to the maximum and the best! This is the golden finger given by the mastermind!

Sensing that Shen Fei was full of joy, Bei Saburo naturally continued: "My lord, there are two villages in the mountains and forests, one is a tree village specializing in cutting trees, there are more than 200 people, and 10,000 catties of wood are paid to the Linhe Hall every year. The other is a mining village, with more than 500 people, who pay 100 catties of iron ore to Linhe Hall every year. ”

Shen Fei's heart was pounding, and he looked up at the top of his head, but what made Shen Fei strange was that as soon as this Bing Wei Saburo mentioned the fishing village, a river appeared above his head, but Mao now said that the tree village and the mining village have not changed in the slightest? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stare at the Bei Saburo.

Bing Wei Saburo noticed Shen Fei's misdeeds, and couldn't help but put his head on the ground and said, "Lord Lord, the fishing village has announced that it will obey your rule when it learns that the Linhe Palace has transferred this land to you, as long as you send someone to the fishing village, the fishing village will hand over this year's tribute." It's just that the tree village and the mining village didn't react in the slightest, and the little one thought that they should want to be independent. ”

Shen Fei touched his chin suddenly, daring to be affectionate Because of this, the tree village and the mining village are unwilling to admit their sovereignty, so there will be no change in the top of their heads, and the fishing village admits that the top of their heads will change after they know about it.

"By the way, why does a fishing village have to pay a tribute of 1,000 catties of raw fish, a tree village only has 10,000 catties of wood, and a mining village only has 100 catties of iron ore?" Shen Fei frowned and asked.

The soldier who raised his head glanced at Shen Fei with some suspicion, then lowered his head and said carefully: "There are few people in the fishing village, but there are many people in the mining village. ”

One sentence made Shen Fei understand that the amount of daring tribute is related to the amount of strength, don't look at the large number of 10,000 catties of wood, in fact, it is only a few dozen trees, and a hundred catties of iron ore is even less, and a basket can fit it. But if you look at the number of people, you can see that there are more than 200 people in the tree village, all of whom are lumberjacks, and their bodies are strong. And there are more than 500 people in the mining village, and the miners are naturally more cattle and stronger, maybe they still have iron shops, which can produce weapons on their own, so the Linhe Palace naturally only needs a hundred catties of iron ore.
