Chapter 27: The Young Man of the Kuroda Family (Part II)
Compared with Kuriyama Riyan and Akashi Junto, the other two who became direct ministers of the Kuroda family, Nobuyuki Kiriya and Takehisa Geriya, are not so famous in history, so Kuroda's expectations for vocational high school are not so high. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, these two people, as members of the Kuroda Twenty-Four Cavalry in history, can stand out from the crowd of dozens of people, and they also have their own advantages, and they still have some ability. It's just that the current Kuroda family is not the Kuroda family that rose too late in history, and the current family already has many powerful samurai, and their importance doesn't seem to be so high.
Historically, as one of Kuroda's twenty-four horsemen, Kiriyama Daikisuke Nobuyuki should have been brought to Kuroda's family from Sakata-gun, Omi Province, by his father Kiriyama for prosperity.
Do you remember that a long time ago, when Mizuguchi Moriri came to Kuroda Castle to look for a job opportunity, he coincidentally met Kuroda Vocational High School in Kuroda Castle. When chatting with Kuroda Vocational High School, he once lamented that he couldn't beat the young Eight Treasures in the village, and this Eight Treasures happened to be Kiriyama Nobuyuki's father, Kiriyama Weixing.
For this Eight Treasures who seem to have some ability, because Kuroda Vocational High School has always remembered that there is such a character as Eight Treasures, so he deliberately sent someone to Omi Province before and connected Eight Treasures (Kiriyama Weixing) to Kuroda's family. And Kiriyama got married relatively early, and he had Kiriyama Nobuyuki very early, so he was also brought to Harima Province with his family.
A few years ago, when Nobuyuki Kiriyama came to Kuroda's house together, he was already relatively old, so after only studying in the training class for two or three years, he entered the small surname because of his age. Fortunately, Nobuyuki Kiriyama knows the gap between himself and others, whether it is in the training class, or the small surname is relatively studious, and he also works very hard to train himself, so he can stay in the Kuroda family and become a direct minister.
Takehisa Takehisa, Kinjuro, Geriya, was historically the son-in-law of Tahara Nagahisa in Kanzaki Prefecture of Omi Province, and after changing several lords, he became a retainer of Kuroda Nagamasa.
In this life, because of Kuroda's vocational high school, history has changed, the Miyoshi family attacked Kyoto in advance, and Matsunaga Hide, in order to pursue the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru, has been leading the army to the territory of the Rokkaku family, and at the same time, there was a chain reaction, and Takehisa Moriya's father died in this war ahead of schedule.
Takehisa, who was still young at the time, fled west with his fellow villagers in a village in order to take refuge, and finally came to the territory of the Kuroda family. When he came to Himeji Castle with a group of displaced people, because he was more clever, he was favored by the small wealthy family of Koji Takahisa and became the adopted son of the Maoya family.
After that, he was replaced by the Maoya family and sent to the Kuroda family for the Kuroda family. Knowing that the Kuroda family is estimated to be the only chance to get ahead in his life, Takehisa Maoya also cherishes the opportunity to be in the small surname very much, and he is also actively expressing himself, and is eager to learn all kinds of knowledge and martial arts. In the end, when he was about to graduate, he unexpectedly stayed in the Kuroda family and became a direct minister of the Kuroda family, which also made him enter the Kuroda family much earlier than in history.
Nobuyuki Kiriya and Takehisa Takehisa, to be honest, are the children of ordinary lowest-level samurai families in the land, and their families are completely unable to give them any help. And the two of them, especially Takehisa Maoya, on the premise of missing the training class, almost through their own efforts and diligence, got the current opportunity, which is not easy.
At least the heights that the two of them have reached now, even Kuroda Vocational High School is a little happy for them, but they also feel that they deserve all this, after all, they have far more tenacity than ordinary people. As for how far they will be able to reach in the future, it is not up to Kuroda Vocational High School to predict, everything can only depend on their own creation.
Kuroda Vocational High School deeply understands that sometimes it is one thing to work his own, and factors such as talent, background, and opportunities are also things that can also affect a person's fate, and he can only try his best to create conditions for these young players to help them grow.
For two years, the Kuroda family continued to immerse themselves in farming. Kuroda Vocational High School is very focused on agriculture and commerce, which may have a lot to do with the fact that he has always been a farmer when he played the game of shame before.
Only when the field is well planted will the harvest be good. With food, we can support the Kuroda family to recruit more soldiers to realize the Kuroda family's ideals of the world.
You must know that two years ago, the Kuroda family's land expanded a lot, and the Kuroda family won the Tanba country and Sanki country from the hands of the Miyoshi family. After obtaining these two countries, it can be said that the territory of the Kuroda family has been greatly enriched.
At present, the Kuroda family is actually implementing the Kuroda Vocational High School's new farming method, and only the Harima Province has the skills of Harima Province, and only these five places have implemented the Kuroda family's cultivation method of several kinds a year.
As for other places, although it is also called a new farming method, it is at most only a little better than the current cultivation method of relying on the harvest of the Japanese country, to put it bluntly, it is intensive farming, insect removal and fertilization, and paying attention to the fertility of the land. Although the result of this planting is an increase in yield of two or three percent, and as the fertility of the land slowly rises, the output of the land will rise, but this overdue is still limited. It is definitely not comparable to the rotation system of two crops a year, or even three croppings.
You must know that whether it is the Five Kingdoms obtained by the Kuroda family at the beginning, or the land of other Ryo countries acquired later, there were originally large and small castles that were unevenly distributed, and this was the stronghold of the power of the wealthy clan and the countrymen.
These large and small cities distributed on the land, whether they are flat cities, mountain cities, or flat mountain cities, their construction, after all, still consumes a lot of land. This invisibly causes a large amount of land to be artificially occupied, and at the same time, it will also lead to a decrease in land output.
From the very beginning of their fortune, the Kuroda family attached great importance to the production of land, and what they hated most was the unwarranted occupation of land in their territory. Therefore, every time the Kuroda family goes to a place, after conquering the big and small wealthy families and the people, in addition to changing the seal, they will demolish some useless castles.
Materials that can continue to be used are sent to Kuroda Castle or nearby Oshiro to reinforce the castles that remain. Materials that can no longer be used will be burned on the spot, and after the burned plant ash, there will be a special person to add water to the land, and then the land will be turned over to ensure that these fertilizers can penetrate into the land and become the guarantee of the next year's land harvest.
