A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

After dismissing the citizens who came to serve in the general army, Xiao Pingtai can almost start to let himself go. I have been working hard this year, and Feng Gong has done his best and is worthy of his salary.

Sometimes when I was lying alone, I thought that if I traveled to China, this official would also be called Uchida Ling according to the Tang name. With a court title, at least a Chixian magistrate would not be able to escape. I guess he would be a sixth-grade official. It seems that the speed of progress is not much different from that of those golden-fingered male protagonists.

Thinking about it, I have only traveled back in time for more than a year and have only eaten new rice twice. I have actually become a bannerman and a deputy official. Although I have not earned a salary, I can still earn a salary of 120 yuan a year. Disdainful of 70 to 80 percent of the samurai class.

Koheita, who was going to take annual leave for himself, went into the city to report to Yamauchi Yoshiharu. Yamauchi Yoshiharu asked him with great interest how much he spent on the stone roads in Fuchu Castle and Castle Town. After all, this thing looks very different from before. It is just beautiful and respectable.

Xiaoping thought about it for a moment, and realized that the smoothing and tamping of the original dirt road were done for free by the residents who did not spend any money or food. The stone slabs were handed in by the people in the territory to deduct various taxes, and were worth about a hundred or ten guan. Then the ditches connecting the two sides cost a little money to build the water gate and connect the river, which was only twenty or thirty guan. A total of no more than one hundred and fifty essays.

After hearing the price mentioned by Koheita, Yamauchi Yoshiharu closed his eyes, pinched his fingers, and after some calculation, he felt that it was still too expensive to repair the entire town. Kodaira thought of course it was not cost-effective. The large-scale construction of Edo Castle Town during the Edo period cost countless money, and he also extorted foreign daimyo from various places to contribute labor and money. Even so, most of the roads are still rammed earth, and they are still gray on sunny days and mud on rainy days.

However, people put a lot of thought into the canals and connected the entire Edo with water canals, which not only facilitated shipping but also facilitated drainage in the city. Moreover, due to the dense population and crowded buildings, Edo Castle suffered from frequent fires and small fires every year. Without ditches extending in all directions, Edo could be burned ten times a year.

However, there is no need for this in Yamauchi Town. It is an inland town and cannot carry out large-scale water transportation. After all, the flow of water in Japan's natural rivers is not large enough to support extensive water transportation.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu didn't ask any more questions. There were still people queuing up behind him to report, so Xiaopingta resigned in a sensible manner. I saw Uncle Tsuna by the oar. He no longer had to stand guard now. He was regarded as a prominent person in Hatamoto. He was the leader of the security team in peacetime, and during wartime he went out as an ashigaru general to command the soldiers as Hatamoto Admiral.

In fact, Heita Xiao discovered a month ago that Uncle Tsunaliang treated him somewhat as an equal. He used to teach Xiao Heita a lesson as an elder preparing for his father-in-law. Now, although his status is still higher than that of Koheita (his position is slightly inferior, but he is the father-in-law of Yamauchi Yoshiharu), he no longer yells at him like before.

The two stood and talked for a while in the oar, and Xiaopingtai prepared to take a winter vacation for himself. He said goodbye to Uncle Tsuna who was drinking tea in the guard room, picked up the cup, drank the last sip of hot tea, patted his butt and left the city.

After leaving the city, we walked to the acting official's office in the town. There were not many people in the house, so all the people from various villages were arranged to go home. Seeing that there was basically nothing to do this year, Kodaira asked Tongxin of the agency to keep two people on duty every day, and everyone else would also have a holiday (in fact, the agency officials in the Edo period did not dare to be so wasteful).

Our colleagues had never encountered such a promiscuous county representative who dared to take a holiday in early December. We were shocked to say the least, but the surprise written on his face was real. There was an older middle-aged Yuli who asked questions.

"County representative, it's only the beginning of December, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to take a vacation now." The man spoke more reservedly, lowering his head and playing with his waist as he whispered.

Xiaopingtai thought that it was finally my turn to pretend to compete, and immediately said: "Do you know Liu Bang, the founder of Han Dynasty?"

These Tongxin and Li are all intellectuals who have read Chinese books and understand Chinese characters. Although they may not necessarily be proficient in Chinese history, they still know a few famous historical figures. So several people present with Li Tongxin nodded, indicating that they knew who Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was.

"It's good to know, but do you know who was the most important contributor to Emperor Han Gaozu's victory in the world?" Xiao Pingtai continued to ask.

Some people say "General Han Xin." Others say "Zhang Liang." Others say "Prime Minister Xiao He."

When Taiping Xiaoping heard Xiao He's name, he immediately stood up and clapped, "You're right. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty believed that Prime Minister Xiao He controlled the country, cared for the people, provided salaries, and was constantly on the road. He was the first meritorious official in the early Han Dynasty."

Everyone looked like they were being taught, but they still didn’t understand what this had to do with vacation.

Taichi Xiaoping saw that these people were quite obedient and didn't dare to say anything back and fight him for 300 rounds, so he continued to take his time.

"At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the war in the world had just subsided, and everything was in ruins. The emperor's carriage could not even produce four pure white horses. Therefore, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty appointed Xiao He as his prime minister and adopted Huang Lao's techniques to govern and cultivate the people by doing nothing. During the reign of Emperor Hui, the prime ministers Cao Shen, Xiao Gui, and Cao Sui continued to govern without doing anything. They stopped fighting, simplified administration, and relaxed punishments. By the time of Wenjing, the world was at peace, the treasury was full, and the people were happy."

"And now the people in the mountains are fighting for years, the local people are exhausted, and the government and private treasuries are all empty, right?"

"Last year, there was a major campaign to repair the Lianchuan River dike, and more than ten people from the territory died in hard labor, right?"

"Everyone, my father and brother in my family are all well-dressed and brave, but has any family ever been able to eat rice every day? It can be said that they are extremely poor, right?"

Three questions for the soul!

Although in front of these people, it is a bit bad to say that the Yamauchi family's poverty situation is a bit unreasonable. But these are realities and everyone knows them. Not to mention the hard work of those who have been dealing with the abacus and accounting books. They struggle to cope with the endless pressure from their masters every year, and are criticized behind their backs by their fellow villagers. They are deeply aware of this sadness.

After Xiaopingtai asked, Tongxin and Li were all speechless. Seeing that the effect has been achieved, Xiao Ping didn't say anything more.

Anyway, the colleagues he was talking about were stunned for a while. Xiao Pingtai announced the adjournment of the meeting in the infinite pleasure of pretending to compete, and asked them to arrange their own shifts, report when they have something to do, and don't bother if nothing happens. The address is at Zixiaolu Zhai under the city, very easy to find.

I threw Muramasa to Aji, put on my cloak and went home for the winter vacation. I thought that if it snowed heavily for three to five days, it would be a big deal for you, and we would discuss it all next year.

Only the Tongxin and Li people in the agency were left looking at each other, and some people subconsciously said: "What an anomaly!"

Hahahahahaha, Qidian ranks first in the newcomer list in the historical category. It’s all thanks to the big brothers. It’s all the big brothers who win the show. grateful!
