A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Murakami Yoshimitsu must have secretly informed Hidetoshi about Koheita's order to cast new cannons naturally. Hidetoshi's knowledge is equivalent to Yamauchi Taro's knowledge, which is always necessary.

As for whether Hosokawa Saime will tell other members of the company about this matter, it is hard to say. There is a high probability that she will not.

Koheta didn't have so many burdens. He just went to see Taro Yamauchi every day as a routine.

As mentioned before, Koheita is planning to personally teach Yamauchi Taro, but enlightening children is really not an easy task. The most rigid way of education is to read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will appear by itself.

But that is for the general public, a teacher teaching dozens of students. Yamauchi Taro dismounted everyone, and he invited the "national teacher" Kuaichuan Shaoxi to teach him one-on-one.

The method of education and the concept of education are naturally completely different. The old monk does not follow the Chinese books from the text. He teaches more through entertainment. This entertainment may be small things in life or stories in scriptures.

Today, Xiaoheita and Taro Yamauchi walked to Shoryakuji Temple as usual. The child ate well, ran fast, and seemed to have grown five centimeters taller. At this rate, when he was fourteen years old in Yuan server, he would probably be 1.65 meters tall, and then he would really be a giant.

Originally there were four children following the team, but now it was different, there were six children following them. I don’t know if anyone still remembers the two extra ones. They were Yamauchi Sashimaru and his attendant Ueda.

He is the historical Nobuo Oda, the son-in-law and adopted son of today's Chief Accountant Yamauchi.

It has to be said that Koheita wanted to get close to Taro Yamauchi, and even took charge of Taro Yamauchi's education. Chief Yamauchi did not relax and added his adopted son into the team.

Having been together as classmates, this is one of the three pillars of life, and it may not be possible to break through it easily.

Sashinmaru walked on the road very normally, only saying a word or two to Yamauchi Taro from time to time. From the day he was adopted, he was already Taro Yamauchi's biological uncle from the clan line, but he was still Taro Yamauchi's subject and needed to serve him.

I don’t know if he has changed much during the years he has been in the mountain. Will it be different from the Nobuo Oda who was always stupid and never shrewd in history?

I was actually a little curious about what Sashimaru was doing these days, so I quietly called Matsushita Toromatsu (Ii Naomasa) and waved to him. Torasatsu ran over and Koheita picked him up.

"Husong, how long have Chashinmaru been with you?"

"About four months." Husong blinked and thought for a moment.

"Four months? Do you think Chashinmaru is easy to get along with?"

"Well, Sashinmaru is usually fine, but occasionally he can be unreasonable."

"Unreasonable?" Xiao Pingtai became interested.

"When we eat snacks, he will snatch them from us." For a six or seven-year-old child, sweets and snacks may be one of the most important things in their lives.

"Snacks, how about you come to my house to eat red bean rice cake after school?" Xiao Pingtai asked for advice.

"Okay, okay."

Even though Matsushita Torasatsu usually behaves like a little adult, when it comes to the red bean rice cake, he still puts his finger in his mouth. After all, he has the greedy nature of a child.

Ogasawara Yukimatsumaru is the smallest but has sensitive ears. Xiaopingtai and Husong spoke so quietly that he actually heard them, but he only heard the word "rice cake".

"Uncle Danzheng, do you want to give me rice cakes too?" Yukimatsumaru opened his hand next to Heita.

Heita Xiaoping could only put down Husong and picked up Yukimatsumaru, but Xiaoheitai couldn't hold the two children.

"Didn't Yukimatsumaru's grandfather give him rice cakes?" Koheita asked him with a smile as he scratched the bridge of Yukimatsumaru's nose with his finger.

"My grandfather only asks me every day what I did and what I heard. I can't tell you, and he is cruel to me. It's better for Brother Taro to give me snacks."

Sure enough, this is the answer. Ogasawara has a long-term heart. Although he was forced by Yamauchi Yoshiharu to abdicate and live in seclusion last year, he is now serving as a hostage in Fuchu Castle. But since his grandson is serving Yamauchi Taro, he will definitely try to take advantage of it.

Asahina Taro will probably be like this, and Sashimaru probably won't be too different either.

He is called an attendant, but he is not the eyes and ears arranged by every household around Taro Yamauchi.

When we arrived at Songli Temple, we had to deliver water to the old monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi as usual, so these children were mobilized under the command of Taro Yamauchi. Who do you go to? Who do you go to ask? I also summoned all the fire master monks in the temple and asked the old monk what he had eaten yesterday, whether his bowel movements were smooth, and how he looked when he got up in the morning.

After knowing it well, Yamauchi Taro brought in a bowl of strong tea brewed with this year's new tea. It seemed that the old monk was copying scriptures very late last night.

The old monk nodded to Taro Yamauchi with satisfaction, and when he saw Little Pingtai sitting on the porch, he also nodded slightly. The children sat down and started his lecture today.

There was no serious reading of pinyin or recitation of scriptures. The old monk told a story about Zhuge Ziyu and his donkey.

Zhuge Ziyu is Zhuge Jin, the eldest brother of the late Han Dynasty Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Marquis of Wuxiang, who served the Sun family in Jiangdong. Zhuge Ke, whose courtesy name was Yuan Xun, was the eldest son of Zhuge Jin.

Although Zhuge Jin was magnanimous and gracious in his dealings with others, his appearance was far less handsome than that of his younger brother Zhuge Liang. His face was narrow and thin, resembling that of a donkey.

One day, Sun Quan convened a banquet with ministers, and someone brought a donkey to the banquet. In order to make fun of Zhuge Jin, he put a long label on the donkey's face, which read: Zhuge Ziyu.

When Zhuge Ke, who was seven years old at the time, saw this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Please give me a pen to add two characters." So Sun Quan ordered someone to give him a pen to see what happened to Zhuge Ke.

Zhuge Ke took over the pen without any stage fright, and wrote after Zhuge Ziyu: "The donkey." Everyone present laughed. So Sun Quan gave the donkey to Zhuge Ke.

The six children in the sutra hall clapped and laughed. They were deeply impressed by Zhuge Ke's extraordinary wit and agreed with his ability to adapt to the situation.

The old monk also took the opportunity to talk about loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, and principles of dealing with others.

Being a ruler these days does not necessarily mean you need to know five thousand Chinese characters, nor do you need to know Japanese songs and haiku. What matters is the way you behave and deal with things.

Even during this period in Europe, there were still illiterate lords and even kings. If we go back three hundred years, basically half of the lords would be illiterate and would not be happy to be their monarchs.

As long as a monarch can control people's hearts and march and fight, it will be fine. It's just that Yamauchi Taro's requirements are relatively high, and he still needs to learn the art of literature and art, and he needs to understand it to some extent. This is where I started to learn and listen to the teachings.
