When passing through the gate of the main castle of the Ashikaga family, Eiichiro reined in his horse and let the two four-person sedan chairs in the team stop first. The gates and walls were full of people, but they were not as dense as they used to be. There was a roaring sound from the concrete mixer, which was pushed by several oxen, and the mixed concrete was carried to the city wall one by one.

With concrete, the walls were built without huge stones. Watermelon-sized rocks are sufficient, and even fist-sized pebbles can be used in many locations. Inoichiro recalls that when he was a teenager, he fled to Shikoku for refuge and participated in the work of repairing the castle. Because of the average light weight of a single piece of material, even a kid like Inoichiro can do something on the construction site.

By now, Inoichiro finally understood why his teacher, the hateful old man, had taken a fancy to Inoichiro from a group of boys at a glance. His teacher's explanation after a long time was that 'when you exert yourself, there are roots under your feet'. What has roots under his feet, that is the result of the martial arts training that Inichiro received since childhood. The excellent teachers have laid a very solid foundation for Inoichiro, and when he exerts force, he must first be able to stand firmly on his feet, and do not put pressure on his knees unless necessary. Even if it's only the size of a person's head, it can feel very heavy for a child to carry. With those ways of exerting force, it is much better.

Putting aside his memories of the past, Inoichiro looked at the castle wall and estimated that the height of the castle wall would be about 4 meters. At this height, any enemy who tries to get close will be a good target for archers at the head of the city. With the construction mode of the Ashikaga family's castle walls, the Kamakura shogunate was not capable of breaking through it at all.

Seeing that it was almost over, Yin Ichiro shouted to his subordinates: "Go!" Town! ”

The team under the banner of four ** was not checked. The Kamakura shogunate asked the four ** not to display the banner of the source Yoshitsune, that is, the flag of the Kamakura shogunate. Four** added a line of 'His Royal Highness Genyoshitsune Iyo' next to the Kamakura shogunate logo of his own flag. According to the sentence of the Wakoku country, it is read as 'Genyoshijingden', 'Xia', 'Iyo'. According to the Chinese translation, 'Yuanyi Jing Palace' is His Royal Highness Yuanyi Jing, and Xia is the meaning of subordinates. The full text is 'Iyo (Water Army) led by His Highness Gen Yoshitsune'.

Of course, this has to be a text that can only be read by the upper echelons of the Japanese state, and ordinary Japanese people do not understand it. Even in the 21st century, the "female high school students who want to get married after graduation" don't know much about kanji. Even if it is the subtitle of the TV station in the country of Wa, it is 'President of the United States...... Prime minister...... How how', the Chinese probably know at a glance that something has been done between the president of the United States and the prime minister of Japan. The more official things are in the country, the easier it is for the Chinese to understand, and the more incomprehensible the housewives of the country are.

The same is true for this four-** flag, Anda Yinichiro is not very satisfied with this font, he prefers not to use the Song font but the wonderful silver hook iron painting of the Zhao official family of the Great Song Dynasty. You can ask the soldiers of Shikoku, and they do not understand the symbols on the flags at all. This disappointed Inoichiro.

The procession passes through the city gate and enters the city, and the farther away from the city gate, the more arms and calves there are on the street. When Eiichiro suddenly understood what was going on, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. The civilians in the city were not conscripted to do hard labor to repair the walls, but were brought to work by people from villages outside the city. The poorest person in the village was sent to work in the Great Song Dynasty by the land, and when he came back, he still wore the work clothes he got in the Great Song Dynasty. On such a cold day, of course, the people who work should wear thicker. Naturally, there was a situation where the whole body of the hard labor was wrapped under clothing, and the civilians in the city showed their arms and legs.

The civilians in the city also saw Yin Yilang and his party, and when they saw the four people in the Song Dynasty carrying the sedan chair, the civilians showed a puzzled look in their eyes. There are also sedan chairs carried by four people in the Wa Kingdom, which are relatively flat, and non-Kyoto nobles cannot ride. Most of the nobles in Kyoto had no money, and very few people in the Kamakura shogunate were qualified to ride. The thing in front of me is completely different in shape, taking on the appearance of a vertical strip. The appearance is completely different from the kind of identity that represents it. And although the sedan chair was with a group of people, it was obviously not someone who opened the way.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, the small sedan chair went straight to a house and stopped at the door. The two older ones rushed out of it, and they couldn't stand the crowding inside, and they staggered towards their father Inoichiro. Yin Ichiro picked up the baby one by one, and before he could say a word, the door opened, and Yin Ichiro's father-in-law and mother-in-law walked out.

There is a big gap between the people of the Ashikaga family and the nobles of the Ashikaga family, although these two are also surnamed Ashikaga, and the blood relationship between the current head of the Ashikaga family is relatively far away. It was their turn to marry their daughters to the Assassins. The son-in-law, who was originally used as a tool man for one-time use, has become a long-term investment, and the old couple is also rising. Knowing that the son-in-law had returned with his daughters, the old couple was already very happy. Seeing their grandson and granddaughter, the old couple was just happy.

After the family entered, Inoichiro gave the gift first. This time the gift was placed in a small box, and the old gentleman opened it in puzzlement to see that there were two thick stacks of banknotes. The house immediately fell silent, and the eyes of the adults of the Ashikaga family seemed to be on fire. It is not only the land of the land that opens money and shops, but also important cities. According to the Wa tradition, the land had to pay tribute to the lord. Even if you pluck an extra hair from the sparrow's buttocks, the land is half of the lord's score. As the tribute spread to the lords, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty did not accept any currency other than the payment of money, and the payment of money quickly became the main trade of the main city of the Ashikaga family.

There are a lot of goods that can be bought in the Great Song Dynasty shop, and the variety is far more than the items that Ashikaga Lord can give when he is rewarded. These two small stacks of banknotes represent considerable wealth. Ashikaga Saiyun and Ashikaga Saika each picked up a stack, put it in front of their father and mother, and then made a big salute. Raising their heads, the two sisters who came home for the first time thanked their parents for their fertility and wished their parents a long life and all the best.

The old man and the old lady picked up the banknotes, and their hands trembled slightly. This girl is too worthwhile. After all, the two babies are the meat that fell from the old lady's body, and the old lady stepped forward to hold her daughter's hand, asking the two of them to live well with Inoichiro, and not to disgrace the ancestors of the Ashikaga and Adachi families.

Looking at their father's new house and listening to their mother's admonition, the two sisters felt that of course they had to live a good life with Inoichiro. The parents' new house is much better than the old home, far less than the old house of the Inoichiro family. Because of his good work, Eiichiro was rewarded with a large amount of money, and the new house he purchased was only not as large as Ashikaga-sama's palace.

The father has quietly put the two stacks of money into his arms, and after listening to his wife, he first thanked his son-in-law for taking care of his two daughters, and then asked what his son-in-law has been busy with recently. Of course, Inoichiro would not tell his father-in-law about his work, so he casually brought it up, and Inoichiro asked if the Ashikaga family was prepared for war when they were repairing the castle wall.

The old man was not the core of the Ashikaga family, so of course he didn't know the details. It's just that mobilization is always needed to fight a war, and the old man told Eichiro that he had not heard of mobilization for war since the beginning of this year.

I stayed at my father-in-law's house for one night, and the next day Eiichiro went to meet Ashikaga-sama at the agreed time. Ashikaga-sama politely said a few words and ended the meeting, which does not mean that the conversation is over. The minister of the Ashikaga family immediately began substantive negotiations with Eiichiro.

As soon as the Ashikaga family opened their mouths, they demanded that the money given to the Japanese laborers be reduced, and that the Great Song Dynasty send this part of the money to the Ashikaga family's account. The purpose of Inoichiro's visit this time was for this matter, and the Ashikaga family had sent someone to Inoichiro's side to talk, but Inoichiro decisively refused. But after all, the laborers are the people on the territory of the Ashikaga family, and the Ashikaga family has a way to snatch the laborers' money. Nichiro made a special trip to Ashikaga's house to talk about it.

Yin Yilang said indifferently: "What do you think is your business, and it is impossible for Song Guo to call." I'm here to tell you that if you do this, we will not sell cement and weapons to the Ashikaga family in accordance with the regulations of the Song Kingdom. ”

"Why!" The people of the Ashikaga family had long known Eiichiro's attitude, so they were particularly puzzled why Song Guo refused a choice that was good for both parties.

"Song Guo firmly believes that if people don't have enough to eat, they don't have the strength to work, and if they don't get benefits, they don't want to work. They are very attentive to their own projects, and naturally hope that the Japanese people can work happily in the Song Kingdom, and when they are happy, the projects they do will naturally have quality assurance. ”

The people of the Ashikaga family were dumbfounded when they heard this, and after a while, they were almost furious, they tried their best to suppress their emotions, and there was no room for doubt in the dissatisfaction in their tones, "Just because you want to make those civilians happy, Song Guo doesn't care about money?!" ”

"Yes. That's the case with the Song Kingdom, they don't care about this money. Inoichiro replied cheerfully.

If it was a matter of talking about it, the people of the Ashikaga family would definitely try their best to convince Eiichiro. At this time, after several negotiations, he learned about Eichiro's attitude, and the people of the Ashikaga family simply shouted: "Song Guo doesn't care, we care!" ”

Inoichiro didn't want to talk nonsense with the people of the Ashikaga family, so he replied decisively: "The contract is clearly written, and what will happen if you betray the contract is also clearly written." I'm here to tell you about it, and I urge you not to take this as a joke. Ashikaga-sama has already received so much money, he should know better how insistent the Great Song is on the contract. ”

The people of the Ashikaga family were slightly shocked by these words, they had never seen such a huge volume of transactions in their lives, let alone seen it, and they had never even heard of it. Those worthless laborers have become cash cows in the blink of an eye. According to the tax ratio of the public and the private, the original coolies could only grow 5 worth of grain a year. Now that they have the opportunity to work in the Great Song Dynasty, the value they create in a year has reached 15.

After being a lord for so many years, the people of the Ashikaga family could not be more familiar with collecting taxes. This 5 worth of grain can only be distributed, and the value of circulating in the market is far from reaching the level of 5. The new 10 is a completely market-based value, a real wealth that can be realized and shopped in a single penny.

Originally, the income in the first year was 3, but now the income has become 8. According to the Wa system, they had to hand over half, so the gain went from 1.5 to 4. The Ashikaga family's income also changed from 1.5 to 4. Although their earnings were nearly tripled, the profits of the coolies went from 2 to 7, which is 3.5 times that of the past. If you can't squeeze another sum out of them, won't the Ashikaga family suffer a big loss!

With intense grief and indignation, the people of the Ashikaga family asked almost like a cuckoo crying blood: "Why should Da Song and His Royal Highness Anda be so kind to those who work hard?" Can His Highness tell us?! ”

Eiichiro is a member of the Adachi family, and he can understand the pain of the Ashikaga family. So Yin Yilang smiled bitterly: "I don't know why Da Song is so good to them, and I don't care why Da Song is so good to them." Guys, I don't care about the lives of those people at all, really, I don't care at all, I don't care at all. What I care about is that every penny I earn is given to me by Da Song, and if I can't do the errand that Da Song explained, I'm going to be unlucky. That's not to say that my money will be confiscated, Da Song will arrest me and publicly pronounce a sentence, my money will be confiscated, and I will also have my head cut off. My family lives on the streets. If you ask me why, I can tell you that I did it for my own sake! ”

After saying this, Yin Ichiro only felt suddenly enlightened. He was also a little strange why Da Song was so good to him and would choose him to be in charge of this matter. When he plucked up the courage to ask the question, the person in charge of the Great Song Dynasty told Yin Ichiro, "Because you know the nobles of the Japanese country." At the time, Inoichiro didn't quite understand, but now he really understands. Because Yin Ichiro understands the nobles of the Japanese country, their various charm and evil methods cannot deceive Yin Ichiro. Although the Great Song gang was shrewd, they really didn't understand how the nobles of the Wa Kingdom viewed the civilians of the Wa Kingdom. The education received by those people in the Great Song Dynasty was to 'love the people', and the nobles of the Japanese State never regarded the common people of the Japanese Kingdom as human beings. Those people are just the targets of the system to collect taxes and exploit.

When the civilians of the Japanese kingdom had been squeezed dry, the nobles could not see the existence of those civilians at all. When civilians earn even a little more profit, the sharp eyes of the nobles are fixed on that hair, and they have to find ways to swallow up this little benefit.

Yin Ichiro sighed slightly, and tried his best to persuade: "You have already gained so much, implement the agreement well, you will only get more every year." Why are you not satisfied? ”

The people of the Ashikaga family looked at Inoichiro with resentful and sad eyes, and one of them finally couldn't help but speak: "It is because we give them the opportunity that they can go to the Song Kingdom to earn money." Why can they earn so much and we can only get a little? ”

Yin Yilang smiled bitterly, this is the standard idea of the nobles of the Japanese Kingdom, and it is completely different from the view of the Great Song Dynasty. Yin Ichiro was suddenly a little curious, and couldn't help but try to persuade the people of the Ashikaga family with the concept of the Great Song, "If you don't let these people go to the Great Song Dynasty to work, how can your income increase so much." The money you got was all from Da Song to those coolies, but it wasn't earned by your own hard work! ”

As soon as this statement came out, the people of the Ashikaga family were shocked! They looked at Inoichiro as if they were looking at monsters, monsters, and devils. How could anyone say such absurd and rebellious words? What does that mean?! Do you mean that the commoners are creating wealth for the nobles? It was the nobles who gave the commoners the opportunity to eat, and without the nobles allowing the civilians to farm, the civilians would have starved to death long ago!

In addition to being shocked, some people in the Ashikaga family also felt that it was no wonder that Eiichiro wanted to do this, it turned out that he was full of hostility to the nobles of the Japanese country. It is not difficult to understand that the Anda family was pushed down by the nobles of the Japanese Kingdom. But Eiichiro couldn't target his resentment against all the nobles of the Wakoku Kingdom, and the Ashikaga family was forced to die by the head of the family at the time, so this resentment should be put on those people in the Kamakura shogunate.

The two sides exchanged a few words with each other, and Eiichiro was sure that he would not be able to reach a consensus with the Ashikaga family anyway, so he dropped the sentence 'Da Song will carry out any agreement like steel to the end', and got up to leave. The people of the Ashikaga family were also not interested in persuading Eiichiro to turn back. This guy is now full of resentment, obviously wanting to take revenge on all the nobles of the Japanese kingdom to vent his anger.

Back at his father-in-law's house, Inoichiro immediately said goodbye and embarked on the way home with his wife and children. He was too worried that the Ashikaga family would dare to do something, and the nobles of the Japanese country were very timid, and they only did it when the wall fell down and everyone pushed it. When the situation is stalemate, these people will take the posture of the first rat and watch the situation unfold. The most important thing of the trip has been completed, and Eiichiro is confident that the Ashikaga family will listen to the words that 'the Great Song will carry out any agreement to the end like steel' and take it to heart. Needless to say, the Great Song Dynasty, the four ** alone have enough strength to make the Ashikaga family unable to eat and walk around.

The group was busy on the way, and when they arrived at the seaside port, they sent their wives and children to the ship of the fourth **, but Ichiro did not get on the boat, and he had to go to Kamakura Castle to meet his old friend Keiji Matsuoka. The world was as black as a crow, and the people of the Kamakura shogunate were no different from the Ashikaga family when facing the people. In order to take his wife and children to the province, Eichiro went to Ashikaga first.

Separated from his family, Inoichiro went straight to Kamakura Castle. Outside Kamakura Castle, Inoichiro stopped his horse and saw that Kamakura Castle was also building walls and gates, and he saw the castle of the Ashikaga family, and Inoichiro felt that what he saw in front of him was very familiar. After entering Kamakura Castle, Inoichiro directly began to observe the attire of the residents of the castle, and sure enough, like the Ashikaga family, the residents of the castle were dressed in the same way as before, with their arms and thighs exposed.

Not long after stopping at the door of Matsuoka's house, Matsuoka came out in beautiful clothes and boots with deerskin rubber soles. In the past two years, the shogunate has not banned the eating of meat, and Matsuoka has a radiant appearance, which means that he will live younger and younger. The former meat eater and the former meat seller have a long relationship, and the friendship is naturally not ordinary. The two entered Matsuoka's house hand in hand, and Inoichiro saw that Matsuoka-sama's family had completely changed. The building was completely renovated, and the servants' attire was fully nationalized.

As a sign of solemnity, Mrs. Matsuoka personally came out to entertain the guests. In the Wa Kingdom, a silk dress is already rich and expensive, and I saw that the clothes of my wife were all high-grade fabrics of the Great Song Dynasty. These fabrics are also owned by Nichiro's wife, and after learning the price, Inoichiro, who doesn't care much about money, grinned.

And the perfume on the lady's body is also of the highest quality. Da Song's perfume is divided into three grades, the cheapest is flower water, which repels mosquitoes and cures itchy skin after application. As long as the family is not poor, they will buy it, women will use it, children will use it, and men will also use it. The mid-range is perfume, which smells very good and is loved by women. The high-end ones are custom-made, which is very fantastic. In order to prove to Inoichiro that his money was not spent in vain, the two wives also personally showed Inoichiro the miracle of custom-made perfumes, and after they bathed, they applied the same perfume in the bedroom for Inoichiro to smell closely, and then applied the perfume to Inoichiro for him to smell. Inoichiro was an eye-opener to see that the same custom perfume would smell different on different people. This smell gives people a very different feeling, for example, Inoichiro does not smell good after applying the perfume of his wife.

Custom-made perfumes can give off a wonderful scent on a specific person, and both of Inichiro's wives have found their own fragrance collection after paying a lot of money. Thinking back to that study, Inoichiro felt a dull pain in his waist and underwear. The wonderful aroma really has great power! It's no wonder that bees and butterflies are constantly busy among the flowers.

After pouring tea and greetings, and ending the reception, Mrs. Songgang retreated. When there were only two old men left in the room, Inoichiro smiled and said, "Is Your Excellency Matsuoka doing well?" ”

Matsuoka smiled 'modestly', and replied in a light tone as much as possible: "I made military exploits before, and I gave two more Zhuangzi at that time. It's all up to Yin Ichiro, and now his income is a little higher. ”

'Points' higher? How dare you Matsuoka say it! Inoichiro smiled in his heart. If there was no labor trade, the income of the two Zhuangzi would only be a little higher. With the labor trade, Matsuoka's income was only ten times that of before. What does it mean that Iichiro has increased his income tenfold, working for one year is equal to working for ten years in the past, and such a day dares to last for three years, and Matsuoka has earned all the money that his father has earned in his life. It's just a trivial thing to look new inside the house, and Matsuoka is already very restrained if he doesn't change the house.

Seeing that Inoichiro didn't speak, Matsuoka sighed: "Inichiro, I know you can't talk nonsense, so I'll just ask one thing, if we do something to those laborers, won't you think you didn't see it?" ”

Inoichiro replied decisively, "No." I will definitely do my best to investigate, and if I find out, I will do it according to the agreement. ”

Matsuoka nodded, Inoichiro is such a person, he already knew. So Matsuoka sighed, "Brother, why are you so serious. I'm not trying to scare you, if you continue to do this, many people want your life. ”

"Cut, those people want my life, they may not be able to do it." Yin Yilang sneered: "Da Song didn't just send me to be in charge of this matter, I will definitely be exposed if I am doing ghosts in it, and Da Song will definitely let me die a miserable death at that time." If I am killed by the Ashikaga family or the shogunate, the Great Song will find ways to avenge me for their own sake. If I offend the Great Song Dynasty, which of the Ashikaga family or the shogunate will protect me? It's good to have money, but I also have to have a life to spend it. ”
