Pillars of the Wu family

The first step is to make money molds. A piece of copper is manually carved into the original carving mother, and the rough edges of the carving mother are also filed off to ensure that the handwriting is clear and beautiful. To act as a money mold for casting money, the steps of this step are actually the same as the following steps.

The second step is to make a model, prepare the wooden frame and fix it, then fill the wooden frame with high-quality sand and compact it, then place the mother money to press out an accurate outline, and then stack another wooden frame filled with sand On it, it is used to turn over the face mold and the back mold, and then take out the mother money after the money mold is solidified, and make gates, sprues, and sprues.

The third step is to cast coins. Put the molten copper in a crucible and align it with the casting port for casting. After cooling, open the mold to take out the money, and then clean, trim, and polish the coin. The casting of the coin is completed. And baking, so casting is very fast.

Then he was in a bit of a dilemma, where to find a carver, and carved out little by little with a carving knife, the coins had to be very round, the square holes had to be standard, and there was no slight deformation or deviation. It needs to be a circle bigger, and the carving mother is a circle bigger than the mother coin. How to grasp this bigness is not just holding a small flat coin to the carving.

When he was in distress, he turned his head and saw that Su Wopingbei pointed at himself with big eyes: "Use me, I can do it!"

"Are you sure?" Yoshihiro Kira looked at Su Wahei suspiciously, seeing that he really has this ability after seeing his unremarkable appearance?

"Sure!" Su Wabei nodded fiercely, and Kira Yoshishi had no choice but to nod and leave the matter to Su Wabei to handle.

On April [-]th, Naito Masanari returned from his brief practice of Hioki-ryu archery. Yoshihiro Kira invited him to ask about his practice. Naito Masamari said with emotion: "The Hioki-ryu archery is extensive and profound, and my minister has been working day and night in the past few months. The understanding of archery has been further improved by practicing, but this archery is slightly inconsistent with the bow technique of the minister. The minister just chooses its strengths to make up for its weaknesses. If you can't learn it, you can strengthen it. I feel that I will learn everything I need to learn and come back gone."

"Oh, the Liujiao family didn't keep you in trouble?" Kira Yoshitoki was still quite concerned about the fierce generals under his command.

"No!" Naito Masamari bowed gratefully, and said without hesitation: "However, His Highness Yoshida Shigemasa tried several times to persuade his subjects to join the Rokkaku family, but they were all rejected."

"Did you reject it? Well done!" Yoshiki Kira laughed and said, "I am the chief bow general of the Kira family. I shot to death a famous general in ten rivers and one existence with one arrow. How could he go to the Liujiao family! Zhengcheng is loyal and courageous, and he respects righteousness and integrity. ! Truly a role model for my Samurai warriors! Time! Tell Fujitaka, from today onwards, Zheng Cheng’s annual salary will be increased by one hundred guan!”

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness!" The taciturn general thanked Kira Yoshitoki for his kindness. Kira Yoshitoki walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, you are not young, I think Kuchiki Haru Gang also has a good sister, who is three years younger than you, and her age is suitable, so you two will get married!"

At the evaluation meeting at the end of April, after routinely discussing the current domestic economic situation, Yoshitoki Kira announced a new order: "First of all, the main family decided to expand Sakamoto Castle Town to the north. Katada in the north also has a good port, and it is also a short distance from Sakamoto. In the near future, the integration of Katada and Sakamoto is the next stage of development of the family! Secondly, the family will inspect the two counties and conduct a census at the same time, so as to determine the tax and military burden of each family!"

"Seizure!" There was an uproar in the evaluation room, Mikawa samurai looked at these colleagues indifferently and even gloatingly, the people of Shiga and Takashima counties were united under the support of the Kira family in name, and the Kira family's pursuit also frequently went to the countryside Taxation, but these Chinese people are only in awe of the strength of the Kira family and the unpredictable skills of Kira Yoshihime, so it is still very difficult for them to completely give up autonomy and obedient submission.

"The owner of the museum has never mentioned the land inspection before, why... is it going to be inspected again now?" A Chinese couldn't help asking: "We are not prepared!" Many Chinese people beside him nodded.

"What do you mean by that? The Shiga and Takashima counties are under the jurisdiction of the Kira family. My Kira family is not greedy for a piece of your land. I just set up taxes and military service burdens. The owner of the museum exercises the power of the country. Is there any fuss about this?" Yishi Zhigao was the first to jump out as a horse-riding general, adhering to his brother's character and temper, once he got angry, he was like a powder keg that exploded at the touch of a button.

Another Omi native stood up angrily and asked rhetorically, "What does His Highness Yishi mean? We didn't say anything. What do you mean by saying so much?"

"You understand what you mean!" Shile Zhentong was elected as the general on horseback, and as a colleague of all heights, he naturally had to stand up and help.

"Silence!" Yamamoto Kansuke knocked on the table and reminded: "During the evaluation, noise is strictly prohibited!"

Kira Yoshishi held the iconic bat fan and fanned it non-stop, with no expression of displeasure on his face, until a few troublemakers sat back in their seats and fell into a brief silence, and said with a smile: "Finish Huh? My family can continue to wait before I finish talking, and everyone can also wait for you to say, if you have any complaints, pour out all your complaints, and my family will continue here."

"..." Now the people of Omi didn't dare to speak anymore, and everyone looked at each other with a little shyness. They had seen Kirayoshi's methods, whether it was the method of manipulating people's hearts and boosting morale on the battlefield, or secretly knowing the ghosts. All sorts of bizarre rumors about the settlement of the merchant group that has been entrenched in Sakamoto Port for hundreds of years make one's hair stand on end.

If you count the method of quietly taking over the territories of the two counties before, Takashima Etakamori and his younger brother died bizarrely, in their eyes, Kira Yoshitoki has completely become an unimaginably terrifying lord, and many rumors are completely different. Yoshiki Kira had a signature smile on his face, and some people even privately spread the rumor that "you are not afraid of Sanzhu's anger, but you are afraid of Sakamoto's smile". Those who know the inside feel that this rumor is untrue, but the samurai love this kind of rumor.

Kira Yoshitoki fanned the bat and said with a smile: "There is nothing to say? Then the district inspection order is settled like this! Our family appointed Mitsui Toraka as the inspector, and Okochi Kunzuna as the deputy to start the inspection of the two counties." The land, you must cooperate with the inspection of the land and make no mistakes!"

"Yes!" More than [-] people on both sides bent over and agreed at the same time.

Land inspection is a complicated project. Firstly, it is necessary to formulate a land inspection account to record the local stone height and the degree of wealth and poverty of the land, and then formulate new taxes, because there are differences in land fertility, which Japanese farmers in the middle ages did not understand. The role of fertilization, so every few years of cultivation, the fertility of the land is exhausted, and the land must be left fallow. They don't know why the more they grow, the more barren they are.

Kira Yoshitoshi planned to change this phenomenon, so he had to check the land, first understand the fertility of each piece of land, and then plan the planting distribution as a whole, and no longer implement the traditional agricultural system that is mainly rice and supplemented by miscellaneous grains. Of course, the rich may not understand He believes that the land inspection is to increase taxes and increase the burden of military service and general service.

At this time, just a few months before the autumn harvest, it is not a busy season for farming. Kira Yoshishi planned to send people to carry out publicity first, and first try to get the work of the rich family done, that is, taxes and military service will be based on the degree of wealth and poverty of the land and the total population. He does not intend to use rough and savage Shi Gao to decide everything.

The Japanese peasants in the middle ages were very miserable. He felt that they were more miserable than Chinese peasants. Sixty percent of the annual harvest had to be paid annually, and the remaining [-] percent had to be paid for various poll taxes, house taxes, levy taxes apportioned by the lord, and All kinds of general service, military service, sometimes bad times, or a lord who is extravagant and dissipated will be in bad luck, and it is easy to make a fuss, and even those small wealthy families and local servants will rebel.

Hosokawa Fujitaka took his order to implement the new town expansion plan, but before the preliminary preparations were completed, he encountered difficulties in Katada. I was scratching my head at the time. This is a group of local village groups in Lake Biwa. They not only serve as water transportation but also have a group of naval forces. Although there are not many ships, they are very troublesome. This kind of local snake is of a special nature. Make a fuss.

They are an autonomous naval force subordinate to the Kira family. Before Kira Yoshinoshi, they had no time to manage them and they lived in peace. However, it may be that seeing the participation of the Yodogawa people made the Kira navy rapidly expand, and the Kira family introduced inspections. The unfavorable news of the order, Hosokawa Fujitaka has made it clear that he will expand the Sakamoto castle town to Katada, and gradually withdraw the monopoly power of Katada people on the transportation on Lake Biwa. .
