A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

It stands to reason that the tiles are quite valuable. After all, this kind of temple is not an ordinary pottery tile, but also has a glaze.

But there is one drawback to this thing, that is, it is too heavy. No businessman risked his life and came to Mikawa just to collect the tiles. If there is time to bring back Hamamatsu, wouldn't it be better to buy something else?

The soldiers under Uncle Tsunaliang were also flying very high. When they stood on the roof, they started to lift it down. Not because of his own efforts, the tiles were smashed to the ground.

But it was so fast. With a poke of the wooden stick, a row of tiles slid down. In the end, only a wooden structure of the main hall was left, which was all stripped bare by these bandits. 【Note 1】

Not only were the pillars sold for money, but the beams were also removed on the spot. The other rafters and wooden eaves were all sold at low prices for a few dollars or dozens of dollars.

Hamamatsu was originally a gathering place for timber merchants in the Tokaido area, and the most famous Tenryu cedar was sold in various countries. Nowadays, all the materials in Yuanguang Temple are good, which is like giving them away for free. They are so cheap that they are all sold out.

When it got dark, Sukezaemon rushed to the front of the battle, surrounded by several guys and Yojimbo. It was completely impossible to tell that there was a large-scale temple here yesterday. Even the crooked and Zen-like pines and cypresses in the courtyard had been chopped down by the soldiers to burn firewood.

"Sure, your speed is too fast, there is nothing left for me."

All the Hamamatsu merchants saluted Sukezaemon when they saw him, but at the same time they secretly laughed at him for being late.

"Help Zaemon, some are quick and some are slow, hahahahaha."

"I just went to Sakai to discuss some things with the big boss, but I didn't expect you to set off right away."

Although Sukezaemon has a large store and a large budget, the shopping mall is like a battlefield. Everything of value in Enkoji Temple has been looted, so there is nothing left for him.

"It's not that there is nothing. There is a big sect. Take a look."

As he spoke, Koheita led Sukezaemon to the statue of Tathagata, and silently recited the words "Namobisikako Tathagata" in his mind.

"This Tathagata statue is carved from fragrant wood. Please give me a price."

Xiaopingtai had already apologized to the Buddha in her heart, so if she sells it now, it should be fine.

"Xiangmu?" Sukezaemon couldn't say whether he believed in Bodhisattva or not, but he was stunned.

The main reason is that this touches on his blind spot of knowledge. If you want to sell iron cannons or miso, then Sukezaemon must be extremely skilled. If you want to ask about the exchange rate of gold, silver and copper, and how foreign silver dollars are calculated as Yongle Tongbao, it is even more clear.

But playing with fragrant wood, this thing, the beads driving thing in the past two years has deceived a lot of fools. It swarms up, then the bubble expands, and finally with a pop, nothing is left.

"If it hadn't been carved, it would be worth at least one thousand, but now that it's been carved and spliced, it's only worth four or five hundred. Just give it a count, and I won't fool you."

Sukezaemon's friends are friends, and business is business. This is not the first time the two of them have cooperated, but they still asked someone to ask.

Finally, I found an old guy from the pawn shop, and his words were similar to Mrs. Xiaoping's. But other people's pawn houses dare not take in such a large piece of fragrant wood because it is really difficult to sell.

The only one present was Sukezaemon, who had a broad market in Sakai and had no worries about sales.

When everyone saw that a buyer had come out to take over the deal, they came over to take a look. Sukezaemon and the two close confidants around him bit their ears and roughly measured the size of the Buddha statue.

"Two hundred and five! If it's more, I'll give it to you!"

Sukezaemon stretched out his hand, compared with two with his left hand, and compared with five with his right hand, and cut off the price of Xiaoheita in half.

"Two hundred and fifty?" Xiao Pingtai thought that it would be too exciting for you to use two hundred and fifty to buy a Buddha statue.

But when the generals behind him heard the price, they all said yes. They demolished the entire hall and sold it for less than 200. A fragrant wood statue can be sold for 250, so that's fine.

Come on! Two hundred and five, just two hundred and five. A very good Tathagata statue is worth two hundred and five.

The waiter brought the rain-proof felt cloth, bundled the Buddha statues, and loaded the nearly three-meter-high statue onto an ox cart and dragged it away.

Xiaoping Taifen got sixty ken, but he didn't take any of them at all. The gold for the chess pieces given by Sukezaemon was convenient for distribution, and he gave it to the two hundred ashigaru who did not participate in the robbery.

The Yamauchi army in the temple, or now in the wilderness, was beaming with joy, having gained more or less. There is always a few dollars left in everyone's pocket.

However, Xiao Pingtai is not worried that they will loot too much and have no desire to fight.

First, Mikawa's Motoyama Honjoji Temple has not yet been captured, and there is plenty of property to be looted.

The second is "Life is always so difficult, but I can't describe it."

In Runtu's original words: "It's very difficult. The sixth child will also help, but there is always not enough food... and there is no peace... money is required everywhere, and there are no regulations... the harvest is bad. Plant something." Come, pick and sell, you will have to donate money a few times, and your capital will be lost; if you don’t sell, it will only rot..."

If you ask these Ashigaru soldiers how they are doing, they can only shake their heads.

Even if the last person can grab three or five pieces of property and go back, so what, it's just a matter of letting the rope around his neck loosen for a few minutes.

The harvests in the fields are getting worse year by year, but the annual tribute from the lord's daimyo is not less. They also have to pay rent to the landlord, other building rent, suspension money, section money, land money, additional land money, and ten to fifteen days of unpaid labor a year.

Pressing it down one after another, no matter how much you grab, you can't fill this bottomless pit.

Poverty drives them and there is no way out. Those who are timid and want to retreat will die on the way.

Even though they are sitting by the campfire, holding a wooden bowl and an iron pot, eating rice soaked in soup or rice soaked in salt water, this is a rare happy time in their lives.

"Dancada is going to Honjoji Temple this time?" Sukezaemon came back after arranging things.

"Yes, we are preparing to quell Yikui of Xiangzhong. We must conquer the main mountain of Sanhe before we can completely solve it."

"Then please take care of me along the way." Sukezaemon is also here to make war fortune. Apart from not being a human trafficker, his capital is so big that he can eat any dirty stuff.

"It's easy to talk about."

Xiao Pingtai agreed on the surface, but Yuanguang Temple has been destroyed, and the Yixiang Temple in Mikawa will definitely receive the news. If you are a small child, you will definitely pack up your valuables and return the guarantee to the temple. The big ones will also mobilize believers to defend Jialan.

I don’t know if future battles will go so smoothly.

[Note 1]: Speaking of tiles, our Forbidden City has been restored as before after major renovations. We even specially imitated glazed tiles to keep them as they were, right?

How did their Japanese colleagues do it? You will never believe it if I tell you. Sensoji Temple is Japan’s top national treasure attraction. Almost everyone who has traveled to Japan has been to Sensoji Temple.

The Internet is full of pictures, saying that Sensoji Temple is completely new, spotlessly clean and extremely well maintained.

But the truth is that Japan’s “national treasure-level craftsmen,” “gods of XX,” and “great craftsmen” have not even learned the lessons of their ancestors. Sensoji Temple, which has gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs, is so pitiful. It suffered once from the Great Kanto Earthquake, and suffered another fire from the Tokyo air raid. Because the maintainers are too low-level, they don't have the skills of their predecessors at all.

Those XX gods used modern technology to repair and rebuild. Because they did not know the exquisite and complicated woodworking techniques, they used their clever little minds.

Since I don’t know how to cultivate, I will completely destroy you! All the tiles on the roof of Sensoji Temple were removed, replaced with aluminum alloy plates, and painted with paint to pretend to be tiles.

Hundreds of tons of tiles were gone, and only one-eighth of their weight were covered with alloy plates.

Now those **** gods are showing off their power, here I come! I come! I come! The complex and exquisite wooden structure, which can be called heavenly workmanship, went through great disasters and finally disappeared completely.

As for the Kaminarimon Treasure Gate, they are all made of reinforced concrete.

The so-called "craftsmanship" can be imagined.
