During this period of the Warring States period in Japan, most peasants could not afford to build wooden houses, so take the small mud wooden house where Masayo now lives, that is, first build a few wooden pillars to enclose the scope of the house, and then build a few wooden pillars as the foundation of the earth, slowly build a draft mud slab wall, and finally cover the roof with branches and thatch.

And now Zhengliang actually found a corridor supported by wooden columns, and there is a small pond in the middle of the corridor on both sides, which is exactly what the southern garden of the Ming Kingdom looks like. Masara walked along the corridor on the right, and the corpses of the bandits who had fallen here on the ground of the corridor had been removed by Ashigaru, but pools of blood could still be seen. At the end of the corridor, it is divided into three doorways, left, middle, and right, of which the middle gate is the tallest, and it should be the council hall. On the left, I can vaguely hear the cries of some women and children, and it should be that Ashigaru is gathering the people in the inner house to the gate of the cottage. On the right, it's quieter and doesn't seem to be empty.

Masara walked into the central hall, which was relatively empty, but Masara found that the floor was actually a wooden floor, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, even if it was paved with rotten wooden boards, it was enough to show that these thieves were very wealthy.

Just as Masara was marveling at the wealth of the bandits, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and Masara turned around and saw that it was his little surname Sahachiro. Sahachiro quickly came to Masahiro, knelt down on his knees, performed a retainer salute, and then said excitedly with a red face, "Your Highness, we found several grottoes in the courtyard on the right, and there is a lot of grain in them. ”

"Let's go, take me to see," Masashi said immediately.

Masaro then went to the courtyard on the right, accompanied by Sahachiro. In front of a grotto excavated in the courtyard of the mountain wall, there stood three ashigaru, and when they saw Masayo coming, they hurriedly saluted. Masarashi nodded, and walked into the grotto. The grotto is not large, about 20 cubic meters, but nearly half of the space is occupied by a pile of miscellaneous grains covered with wool grass. Masara approached the grain pile and picked up the thatch, grabbed a handful of grains, and looked at them carefully, these grains seemed to be mixed with several grains, and Masara at least recognized that they contained brown rice and soybeans, and brown rice had the most ingredients, accounting for about ninety percent. Masashi roughly estimated that this pile of miscellaneous grains also had at least 500 stones. I excitedly checked all the grottoes, there are a total of 5 grottoes, each grotto stores a different amount of miscellaneous grains, and the preliminary estimate is at least about 2,000 stones.

After getting this batch of grain, Zhengliang was very excited, and the food problem in the territory was finally solved. At the same time, Masara also felt strange, since the food was also found, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of wealth, but so far there have been no reports of any property found. It seems that I have to find some people who are familiar with the situation here, and thinking of this, Masarashi instructed Sahachiro behind him, "Go and find Kosuke." ”

"Yes, Your Highness," Sahachiro commanded.

Soon Kosuke came to Masahiro's face, "Your Highness", Kosuke curts.

Looking at Kosuke, whose eyes were still slightly red, Masato was about to order Kosuke to immediately search for the cottage's belongings in a carpet manner, but the words were swallowed back into his mouth, and he changed his mouth and asked, "How is it?" Did the wife and daughter rescue? ”。 Looking at the man in front of him, who had obviously just cried, Masahiro was also touched. According to Zhengliang's understanding of this era, women are often equated with political tools, but at this moment, Zhengliang found that this guy, who has always been timid and afraid of death, resolutely took refuge in him for his wife and daughter, and assisted him in attacking the cottage. I can't help but sigh in my heart, it turns out that true love also exists in this era.

"Yes, Your Highness, I found them in the dungeon, but I was a little frightened, and now I am fine, and now I am settled in the inner courtyard. Xie Lu thanked His Highness for his kindness, and His Majesty will follow His Highness to the death", Xingzhu said with a grateful kowtow. …,

"That's good, settle them down first", Masato paused and continued, "and then immediately organize people to search the entire cottage, especially the Dashi family and the Banshi family, you can't miss even a single rice", Masaliang pointed to several grottoes in the courtyard, and said eagerly.

"Your Highness, at present, the manpower is clearing the remaining threat of the cottage and concentrating the rest in the open space in front of the cottage, and the remaining manpower is insufficient", Kosuke replied cautiously.

"Well, when Togo Heiji arrives, he will lead the patrol team to arrive, and let him hand over the patrol team to you to arrange", Masarashi thought for a moment. It's just right for these little ones to search for their belongings. "However, you must make sure that even a single grain and not a single copper coin will be left out for me," Masarashi emphasized again, staring at Kosuke.

"Yes, Your Highness, the minister is familiar with the situation of the cottage, and he will definitely be able to find the property", feeling the lord's ardent expectations, Kosuke immediately kowtowed and replied loudly. This is the time to show great faithfulness.

"Very good, then before Togo Heiji arrives, take me to that secret warehouse to have a look", Masaliang has been thinking about this treasure trove, there are thousands of copper coins there, although they can't be used for the time being, but who would dislike having a lot of wealth.

"Your Highness, that warehouse is in the back hill of the cottage, and the entrance to the back mountain is only through a small forest, and the rest of the place is set up with many traps, and no one is allowed to approach," Kosuke briefly explained.

"Well, then let's go", leaving a Ashigaru to guard the grotto and wait for Togo Heiji, Masara took the remaining two Ashigaru and two small surnames, led by Kosuke, to the mountain behind the cottage.

Skirting several huts, we came to a grove. "Your Highness, passing through the grove in front is the back mountain, when the old leader is still the leader of the cottage, the entrance of the grove is guarded by the old chief's relatives samurai, and after Banshi Dairo becomes the leader, the guards here have weakened a lot, if it weren't for not wanting to be disturbed by his amusement in the back mountain, he wouldn't even send someone to guard it," Kosuke said while accompanying Masato into the woods.

After walking along the path of the woods for about a quarter of an hour, soon the sound of running water hitting the surface of the water was heard. Hearing the sound, I walked quickly out of the woods, and in front of me was a pool of about 15 square meters. At the other end of the pond is the rock face of the highest peak of Notakayama Mountain, along which the spring water collects above the pond and then pours down to form a small waterfall. It's really a good place to play.

"Your Highness, please go this way", gently waking up Masayo, who was fascinated by the scenery in front of him, Kosuke turned into the grove again along the edge of the pool, and stopped in front of an ancient tree crawling with vines, "Your Highness, behind this big tree, there is a crack that leads to the location of the secret warehouse, please follow me", after speaking, Kosuke took the lead and walked behind the ancient tree, bent down, gently pulled, pulled up several vines, and burrowed sideways into the vines.

Leaving two ashigaru guards outside, Masara took the two little babies and got into the vines. The inside of the vines is actually relatively loose, and there is a crack in the rock more than 1 meter wide behind the vines. Through the cracks of the vines, Masara soon found himself in a naturally formed well-shaped valley, about 50 square meters, and Kosuke was standing in front of a rock wall.

"Your Highness, there are a total of nine grottoes here, five of which contain some copper coins, one of which contains some weapons, and the rest of the grottoes are filled with scattered miscellaneous items," Kosuke said, pointing to several grottoes in the stone wall. Masara walked quickly to a grotto door, opened the grotto door and walked in. The grotto is not big, it is obvious that this grotto was originally formed naturally, and later it was built with tools, in the center of the grotto there are seven or eight small wooden boxes of different styles, open it to see, it is full of copper coins, and there are some gold and silver judgments mixed in it. …,

Masahiro picked up a piece of gold casually, due to the long sealing time, not only was it covered with dust, but the color of the gold was already a little dull, and the purity was not high. Putting down the gold, Masahiro looked at the copper coins in the wooden box again, these copper coins were of all kinds, and some even had only one hole and different shades of color.

"Huh?" , Zhengliang picked up one of the copper coins, his face was full of surprise, the text on the copper coin turned out to be Chinese characters, Zhengliang remembered that this copper coin is Yongle Tongbao, which is a good thing in later generations, and can be sold for a lot of money.

"Kosuke, how many coins are there?" , Masarashi asked Kosuke behind him while looking at the coins in front of him.

"Your Highness, these are the savings of the old chief and the old chief's father for more than 40 years, according to the description of the old and young lords at the time, there are more than 1,000 copper coins in these grottoes, and there is no clear record of the gold and silver judgments," Kosuke said.

"Won't they use all this money to sell food and other necessities? Why do you want to continue to be a bandit? "More than 40 years of savings, but I didn't use it much? Is this a fool? Could it be that these two fathers and sons are misers? Zhengliang couldn't help but wonder.

"Your Highness, the location of the cottage is relatively remote, and it is difficult to find merchants, and if you take these coins to a merchant's territory far away, it is easy to be attacked halfway; The surrounding tyrants and even merchants were more hostile to the old chieftains, and it was impossible for them to exchange things with us, after all, many of these coins were stolen from them; Besides, once the surrounding local tyrants and bandits know that so much wealth has accumulated in the cottage, it is easy to trigger them to jointly deal with the cottage", Xingsuke analyzed.

"Even if these local tyrants are not willing to exchange other goods, the ordinary peasants will always be willing," Masara continued.

"Your Highness", Kosuke smiled bitterly, "It's good that the peasants can not starve to death, they can't have surplus grain left, this is a bitter cold place, grain is the most popular, and coins are not easy to use, not only farmers, but even many local tyrants." ”

"Well, according to this situation, we will also face a situation where we have money and no place to use it," Masashi sighed.

"Your Highness, if we have access to the sea, this problem can be solved," Kosuke suggested.

"Well, this is also a solution, let's discuss this issue later, let's go, let's take a look at other warehouses", Masara nodded lightly and said.
