A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Aya had no objection to Xiao Pingtai's decision. She was not a flashy person. Not only did he sell off all of Xiao Pingtai's belongings, but he also put in a lot of his own dowry.

Anyway, when the pawn shop clerk entered Koheita's house, the samurai family nearby were shocked. How could the Fujiwara Danmasa family be short of money when other people's families were short of money? You said that the Holy Emperor in Luojing was too poor to expose the blame, and that the minister sold his daughter, but some people believed it.

How could Xiaopingtai end up in such a situation!

A Ling changed into linen clothes and directed the pawn shop clerk to move the boxes and cages out one by one. The ladies of other samurai families stood at the street corners and at the gates of their courtyards, pointing and whispering.

Then Xiao Pingtai summoned the shareholders of Shiqi to explain his reasons. He was rational and emotional, and almost knelt down and kowtowed. Finally, everyone was asked to collect one-third of the persimmon lacquer and give it to the public.

The reason why it is one-third is because since the Yamauchi want to express their stance, you can donate them all. The feudal officials are so miserable, so just one-third is fine.

The centripetal force of family members is relatively strong. Many people have been working with the Yamauchi family since the days of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers, and they have indeed received favors from the Yamauchi family. They agree with the rule of the Yamauchi family and are willing to make donations to the public, and most of them do not have much objection or resistance.

During the Yamauchi Yoshitari era, the territory expanded rapidly, and the new retainers eventually had some objections as expected. Their salaries and rewards were all obtained on the battlefield with swords and guns, and the meaning of equal exchange was stronger.

But the news that Xiaoping Taidian's property was sold to the public came from the street outside, and the original dissatisfaction disappeared.

Looking at Xiao Pingtai again, I realized that he was indeed wearing an old clothes made of kapok, and even his socks had a small hole.

How much contribution did Fujiwara Danmasa make? What is the status of Fujiwara Danmasa? Everyone has set an example. What's more, Xiaoping Taiping has always been a tolerant and philanthropic man, and he was courteous to virtuous people. He treats his elders and ashigaru with the same warmth. When talking about Fujiwara Dansei, everyone in the mountain gives a thumbs up.

His body is upright and he does not do what he is told to do. His body is not upright, even though he does not obey orders.

Convinced!

A wooden board was also erected on the streets of Fuzhong City, which said that I hope everyone will work hard and frugally to tide over the difficulties.

There has been some turmoil in the city because of this matter. Everyone's life has been ordinary. Now, first, the warrior class is paying favor to the public, and then the common people are also demanding frugality.

Countless people began to remember Yoshitaka Yamauchi, who was still able to live despite fighting for years. Now that the Prime Minister has died, life has become difficult.

Xiaopingtai retreated from the city and came down, riding on his horse. There were many people saluting along the way. The lower-level samurai Ashigaru also knew about Koheta's noble character in helping his family to survive, and they all knelt down on one knee and bowed to Koheta.

"Come on, I just heard the discussion. Everyone said why times are so difficult."

"It's not difficult any day. It's so difficult even for me, let alone an ordinary soldier."

"How could it be? You can obviously have enough to eat every day." Aji looked up at Xiao Pingtai. The injury on his arm had healed, and he was now leading Xiao Pingtai's horse out of the way.

"Your salary of one hundred and thirty guan, and the support rice distributed among ten people every year, can only be eaten by your father and sister. Of course, they can't finish it all."

Fortunately, Aji has been doing his best for Xiao Ping Tai. Apart from eating the rice himself, the rest is given to Xiao Ping Tai's iron cannons. In fact, his noble obligation to expand the army has not been fulfilled. Of course, it would be perfectly fine for the armored and mounted samurai he should provide to be himself, and it would be fine for his father to provide him with an ashigaru in a real fight.

The main thing is that the salary is enough to cover expenses. Ordinary samurai ashigaru's salary was low, and they had a large family and livestock such as war horses and pack horses to support, so it was naturally difficult.

"Everyone is still talking about being upright and upright." Chen San also made a comment.

"It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, it's not a big deal." Xiao Pingtai glanced at the soldiers saluting by the roadside.

"It is said that after seeing Danmasonon selling property, Harugong-sama and Zainome-sama also started pawning their properties, as did His Highness the Chief Accountant and His Highness Izumo."

"Has it all started?"

Xiaodaita glanced at the samurai mansion in the distance and felt it was very lively. Presumably in addition to this, other people also started to express their opinions. Although it is impossible to really donate a lot of property like Koheita, but as a samurai in a high position, he must have the proper attitude.

"I heard that His Highness Suzyni took out the 200 pieces of Caijuan that he had given as a dowry."

It is only natural for a mother to give her son a hand. In the future, when her son becomes rich, he will always be filial to her.

"That's great!" Xiao Pingtai nodded.

Chenzo and the others were waiting for Heita at the door. They had a lot of exchanges with other samurai family members and got all kinds of news.

As several people were talking, they rode out of the city on fast horses. When they saw Xiao Pingtai's procession, they hurried over.

"Sure, is there something going on in the city?"

The envoy jumped off his horse, half-knelt on the ground, and reported to Xiaoping Tai.

"What's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness Xiuzhi Ni is in labor. Please ask Mrs. Tanzheng to come to the city to take care of you."

"Your Highness is in labor?" Taichi Kodaira was right. It was at the end of April or early May last year that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was pregnant before he left. Now he is pregnant in mid-March or October, which is the date.

"Chen San, go home immediately and tell your wife to take A Rong (Qi Gui Mei) and Xiao Nai (A Ji Mei) into the city to serve you."

Chen San conveniently threw the umbrella to Qi Gui. His long legs meant his steps were long. He could take one step ahead of others and disappear in a few seconds.

"How is Your Highness Suzyni doing? Is the birth going well?"

"The villain doesn't know!"

"Let's do it, Qigui Aji, you two are listening to the news below the city. If there is any situation, report it to me. I will be at home."

"Okay!"

At this time, Xiaoheita was left with the escort Honda Masashige and the two half-year-old children Nanosuke and Yu Kamemaru. He didn't care about the procession and went home quickly.

A Ling had already received the news and rushed out with her baggage, when she saw Xiao Pingtai coming in.

"The news was immediately passed on to Aji and Qigui. They are at the gate of the city."

"Okay, I understand." A-Ling nodded, and trotted into the city with her three maids. She didn't even take a sedan chair or anything, keeping everything simple and quick.

Xiaoheita stood at the door and found that his uncle Hosokawa Tsai's wife also ran into the city with two maids. Now the families of the high-ranking samurai in the city should have been summoned to the city to take turns attending Suzhini's delivery.

After all, a natural birth can sometimes take up to ten hours. Not only does the mother suffer, but the people waiting next to her are also tired. Two more people are ready to serve, and they can take turns.

Xiao Pingtai was sitting in the main hall, and Chen San made a cup of tea and stood at the door. The tea has become cold and has been changed three times, but there is no news at all.

"Chen San, how long has it been?"

"I'm afraid it won't be more than two hours, and it will be dark soon."

"Pregnant women giving birth are really..."

Xiaoping is too anxious to sit here.
