A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Most of the people in the Tojian (that is, the hotel lobby also doubles as a restaurant and reception room) panicked. A man with some status as a warrior with a sword stood up and asked what business these people were doing.

This group of people turned out to be members of the town's sympathizers, requiring everyone to pay a town fee to support the warlord's family regardless of reasons.

After hearing this, Xiao Pingtai felt relieved. He thought he was temporarily capturing strong men and sending them to the battlefield. It turned out that they were just collecting some money to save their lives. This was nothing to the wealthy Xiao Pingtai. Ten yuan and eight yuan were nothing.

After all, it’s understandable. In these troubled times, no one can pay taxes seriously, and if you don’t collect enough, people will treat you as an alien. Moreover, Xiao Pingtai has always believed that if you can speak with money, don't talk about feelings. Things that can be solved by money are the most convenient.

But the figure reported by the Tongxinzhong was surprising. A single pedestrian paid 300 yuan per person, while a merchant like Xiao Pingtai charged 300 yuan for a load. What a money grab. A load of salt is only worth 500 yuan. This temporary fee is too high and is tantamount to robbery.

There were two farmers who looked like they were working in the city. They knelt down in front of a few people and begged. They didn't have the money to pay. The fellow soldier sneered and ordered the two farmers to be tied up with straw ropes and used as warriors.

Others dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Even the warrior with some status just now stopped asking for money. Some merchants with meager capital even mortgaged all their goods to them.

The man laughed and turned around to leave. Even from a distance, you could still hear the disdainful laughter. Everyone who was originally happy suddenly started to sigh.

Although Xiao Pingtai was not injured, the six hundred dollars still made his little body ache. As expected, nothing he could do was as good as what he had robbed. The people in the place where the steward's family is squandering everything is bound to become even more disloyal, and the collapse of the country may be just around the corner.

Xiao Pingtai saw a very young man sitting there in the corner, very depressed. Xiao Pingtai knew that the man was carrying some needles, thread, some seaweed and two rolls of green ramie. The three hundred dollars just now probably cost him half of his life. .

Xiao Pingtai has no mercy or pity. Which ordinary people don't have a miserable life? Apart from sighing a few times, I can't do anything. My own strength is too weak.

Xiaopingta just wanted to buy his things and dress them up more like a peddler if he wanted to continue traveling across town. So Xiao Pingtai came up to talk to him and discussed with him to buy his goods for 500 yuan. The man also seemed very discouraged, so he gave all these to Xiao Pingtai without losing money.

After going back and forth, a deal was made. The night was still very long, so the two started chatting. The man called himself Koichiro. He had no Miao characters and was from Weizhou.

Koheta pondered for a moment and then asked him: "What is the situation in Owari now?"

Koichiro scratched his head, with a hint of sadness: "Since the death of the previous generation Bitchu Mamoru (Oda Nobuhide), the current boss Sosuke (Oda Nobunaga) and his third brother Musashi Mamoru (Oda Nobukatsu/Ying) have been in opposition. The retainers are also divided into two factions, and the feud among the brothers is getting worse."

"So there must be a battle between their brothers?" Koheita looked at Koichiro.

"Maybe that's the case. There have been many conflicts between Kami Sosuke and Musashi Mamoru, and my father died in the war. So I separated from my brother and went out to do business alone." Koichiro also agreed with Koheita's view.

"My condolences, life must go on." Kohira patted Koichiro.

Koheita pretended to be casual and asked Koichiro: "Since you were born in Owari, where is your hometown?"

Koichiro has nothing to hide: "Koshita Village outside Aichi Katsuhata Castle in the Lower Fourth County of Oishu."

After all, there will be countless Owari samurai who will succeed in this world in the future. There is no harm in asking and making friends in advance. Maybe one day it will become a good escape route.

Kodaira's head turned around. Maeda Toshiie was Arakoko Castle in Owari Aichi County, Shibata Katsuie was Kamisha Village in Aichi County, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was Kiyosu Castle Murago in Owari Aichi County, and Murai Sadakatsu was Suemori District in the lower four counties of Owari. . Well, there's nothing to think about. How could I meet some big boss on the road?

So Koichiro and I found a place to sleep near the fire pit. The next day, Koichiro planned to buy some Shangshu specialties and return to his hometown, but waves of troops moved southward from outside the town.

Koheita knew that most of the territory in the Joshu area, except for the Tatebayashi area in Sudumae, was a hilly area extending from the Echigo Mountains. There were almost no dangerous passes that could be defended, so the most dangerous places to block the army coming from the south were Matsuida Castle and the Kamirukawa River.

So he grabbed Koichiro and asked him to wait for a few more days. Now there was a battle in the south. Judging from the nature of most battles, the winner was very likely to be decided in a few days.

If there is a high chance of encountering rioters if we set out in the next two days, our lives may be at risk. It is better to wait in the town for a few more days.

At the same time, he also told him that war medicine, timber, and rice were all profitable businesses, and as long as he was brave and wealthy, he could make a lot of money.

But after saying this, Koheita himself regretted it. This Koichiro looked like a poor guy and how much money he had.

"Hehehehe, it was my fault, it was my fault." Xiaopingtai laughed sarcastically.

Koichiro also looked at Heita as if he were a fool. Heita was a little embarrassed and asked Koichiro to stay and hire him as a part-time worker for a few days. Koichiro knew that he couldn't leave, so he nodded and agreed.

Thanks to everyone for your recommendation. There are indeed more than 3,000 people now. We will see the results on Sunday.
