Chapter Ninety-Five: Acquaintances Are Easy to Do
"Hey!" Kurita Sanemon immediately answered.
"Our family does not exclude professionals, on the contrary, as long as you have a skill, you can live a good life in your family, provided that you really have the ability."
Hearing Kuroda Vocational High School's words, Kurita Sanemon raised his head for the first time, and wanted to say something, Kuroda Vocational High School saw hope on his extremely old looking face, in his already somewhat muddy eyes.
They were indeed very good at building castles, and they were also reused by the Oda family before, but this time, because of the reasons that Matabei said, after the Oda family defeated Omi Province, they were all implicated and forced to flee.
The Oda family had succeeded in going to Luo, and through various means, coupled with the continuous efforts of the powerful generals, the Oda family had completely controlled the power of the shogunate and the imperial court.
And after pacifying, the Oda family has surpassed the Kuroda family in one fell swoop with 4 million koku of land and has become the number one power in the world. In other words, in the face of Oda Nobunaga, the cave Taizhong actually didn't have much choice, otherwise they would all go incognito and find a poor mountain and remote place to hide.
Otherwise, find a daimyo's power that can compete with the Oda family, and continue to work as a stonemason you like. Through their work, they helped the daimyo build many castles with stone walls, so that they could compete with the Oda family.
It is really not something they are willing to do for these craftsmen, who have become accustomed to working with stones all year round, to find a random place where no one is around. If the first path doesn't work, then you can only choose the second path.
The reason why the cave Taizhong chose the Kuroda family is also because the Oda family is too powerful, and the ordinary small forces are not the opponents of the Oda family at all.
Looking at the world, there are only a few forces that can compete with the Oda family. And only the Kuroda family is the one I just mentioned, and the forces that can compete with the Oda family, and they are also close to the Omi Province, where the Anata people are mainly active, and it is just right for them to transfer to the territory of the Kuroda family.
And the Goto family, the main family before their cave Taizhong, mixed well in the Kuroda family, the original young master of the Goto family, Goto Kikoku, is already a powerful retainer of the Kuroda family with four or five thousand stones, and the current young master Youbei is a reliable young man who can be favored by Kuroda's high school, both civil and military, and now he is working by the side of the Kuroda family, and it is said that he has an unlimited future in the future.
Kurita Sanemon actually thought very simply, but he was adhering to the idea of doing things in front of acquaintances, so he came to contact Youbei. Fortunately, some of the old people of the Goto family still followed the Goto family, so they were able to contact a few people who were originally good, and then they contacted Youbei.
Matabei didn't want to mix with these people at first, after all, these people had actually left the Goto family before, and they had nothing to do with the Goto family anymore. And their intentions, Matabei already knew, they were evil to the Oda family, so they fell to the point where they are now.
And Bing Wei is a young samurai that the Kuroda family is very optimistic about, so he has also been trained by the Kuroda family, and he has always been very grateful to Kuroda Vocational High School for his training, so he has always been very grateful to Kuroda Vocational High School and the Kuroda family.
As mentioned many times before, the Goto family doesn't have much to do with the cave Taizhong, how can Youbei easily provoke an opponent like the Oda family for the Kuroda family for this cave Taizhong, who has never had anything to do with him! This is something that Matabei absolutely does not want to see, and if this is the case, he himself will not be able to forgive himself.
It's just that when Kurita Sanemon proposed that the Goto family could leave before, the Goto family didn't take it away, and all the Ishigaki secrets of the Goto family were returned to the Goto family, and at the same time, the Cave Taizhong would also repair all the castles close to the Oda family for the Kuroda family. It wasn't until this time that Matabei hesitated, so after thinking about the gains and losses for a long time, he reported the matter to Kuroda Vocational High School.
Before the Kurita Sanemon came to Kurita Sanemon, in order to escape the possible siege of the Oda family, they simply fled directly to the Tanba country of the Kuroda family and hid themselves, including their families, there were more than 2,000 people.
In fact, all this is also because the cave is too sensitive, Oda Nobunaga is really angry that someone among the cave people built a stone wall for the Asai family, but he is still very clear about the value of the cave people, he just lost his temper in front of Kurita Sanemon, and he didn't expect to scare the leader of the cave people. It can only be said that Oda Nobunaga has been acting recklessly and killing people indiscriminately according to his mood, and this time he finally suffered the consequences.
Oda Nobunaga not only didn't want to destroy the cave Taizhong, but even admired these guys who could build cities, their only use value was to build cities, and for the era of cold weapons like the Warring States Period, especially in places like the Wa Kingdom where the fighting was not fierce, their role was highlighted.
Oda Nobunaga had already figured out later, Hasaka Jiro had already left the cave Taizhong, and the cave Taizhong led by Kurita Sanemon had nothing to do with him, and he was already not ready to blame the cave Taizhong. It's just that after all the people in the cave escaped, they had really put the cave people in their own must-kill list.
It's just that until the change of Honnoji Temple, Oda Nobunaga himself died, and he couldn't solve the cave Taizhong that he wanted to kill, and these people have been living well in the Kuroda family since then.
"How many of your builders are able to build stone walls?" Kuroda asked.
Kurita Sanemon first bowed to Kuroda Vocational High School before he said cautiously: "Kuroda-sama, I don't dare to deceive in the future, I currently have a total of 635 craftsmen, of which 18 are senior craftsmen who can supervise the overall construction of Ishigaki. ”
"Including adults?" Kuroda asked.
"Hey!"
"Go on."
"Another 31 people can be responsible for the construction of a single stone wall, the other craftsmen are all ordinary craftsmen, there are 457 people who are relatively skilled stonemasons who can participate in the construction of the stone wall, and there are 129 people who can only be responsible for the processing of stone materials used for the construction of the stone wall, and cannot carry out the construction of the stone wall."
"Okay, Kurita-sama, I believe what you say, and you are also a trustworthy person."
