Don't underestimate this cabin of only more than 20 square meters, this kind of airy and sunny cabin is considered a good product in this samurai house.

Quite simply, the city was limited in size, and it was impossible to build a small cottage with a courtyard to house all the samurai.

Of course, the samurai above the general do have such a samurai house, but don't think about it below the general, those who can have a small house are only available at the level of the general, and the ashigaru general only has a wooden house of fifty or sixty square meters, and the captain of the ashigaru can only choose a wooden house of about twenty square meters.

The main reason for this restriction on the size of the house according to rank is that these houses are the property of the lord's family, and the retainers only have temporary residency rights, but no ownership. Once the victim was demoted to the rank of a samurai or stripped of his status as a samurai, he had to be demoted or driven out of the city.

Therefore, the samurai who live in the samurai house, even if they want to repair the house, they go to the person in charge of these logistics affairs at home to deal with it, and there are a lot of rights and wrongs for this, after all, the logistics staff are also very busy, and the samurai have a request to run to help, and the requirements of the general samurai or the cold bench samurai, the logistics handyman will turn a blind eye.

However, the ornaments or ornaments in the house have to be solved by the samurai themselves, after all, these things belong to personal belongings, and they can be left with you, so the logistics department will not place them for you. Of course, if you are awesome, if you are valued by the upper echelons, these things will still be prepared for you early.

To put it simply, although everyone is from the same martial arts family, and everyone is a colleague and partner, but what happens with red and white is an inevitable occurrence in the society of intelligent lifeforms.

Generally speaking, don't look at Captain Ashigaru as a samurai, in the eyes of the common people belong to a high position, in the eyes of Ashigaru is also worthy of their lives to obtain, but in a samurai, Captain Ashigaru is the lowest official position in the force, well, so much higher than a clerk like a miscellaneous servant, but it is also the lowest official.

Therefore, a new ashigaru captain like Zhang Zhongjun can have a single-family cabin, and it is because the Zichuan family has just risen and there are not many ordinary retainers in the family, in exchange for those great martial artists who have been inherited for hundreds of years, and their ashigaru captains live in Odori Shop!

Because there are too many low-level samurai in the family, the number of low-level samurai is so large that they can be used as standing soldiers. This is where these big martial artists are distressed, and it is also where other small martial artists are envious and jealous.

After helping Zhang Zhongjun get a well-lit wooden house, that Tieshan Shiro patted his ass and left, for him, for a captain of the ashigaru, it was enough to sell this favor, but he didn't dare to sell too much, after all, he was a visitor, and it was not a matter of getting too close to the samurai in his family.

Zhang Zhongjun didn't care, using the way that money can make grinding ghosts, he directly threw a string of copper coins over, and recruited a group of temporary younger brothers, these local snakes took strings of copper coins, or ran out of the city to help Zhang Zhongjun buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, furniture, pots and pans, bedding, clothes and other daily necessities, or brought buckets and rags from home to clean Zhang Zhongjun's small wooden house, of course, it is indispensable for knowledgeable guys to help Zhang Zhongjun check the firmness of this wooden house.

As for Zhang Zhongjun's goods, he first took a few clever handymen to purchase a batch of candy, biscuits, wine, meat, and food, and also purchased a large number of gifts back, beckoning the handymen to help eat and drink at will, and then under the leadership of these clever goods, one by one the samurai houses went to the door to give gifts.

First of all, Zhang Zhongjun can only go to meet samurai of the same level and one level higher, that is, Zhang Zhongjun can only go to meet the samurai of the two levels of captain and general Ashigaru. As for the samurai above the rank of general, Zhang Zhongjun is not qualified to visit.

It was only when Zhang Zhongjun was assigned to a subordinate general or an assistant to a general that he was qualified to visit his superiors.

Well, because Zhang Zhongjun is a samurai directly under the governor of the Zichuan family, although he will be arranged to work with a certain middle and high-level samurai, Zhang Zhongjun can regard the middle and high-level samurai he follows as his boss, but this middle-to-senior samurai cannot regard Zhang Zhongjun as a subordinate, but can only be regarded as an assistant.

Because Zhang Zhongjun's real identity is the same as that middle and high-level samurai, he is the retainer of the governor of the Zichuan family, but his status is just high and low, and his identity is really just a retainer of the main family.

That is to say, unless Zhang Zhongjun violated military regulations when he was about to fight, his direct boss could not directly kill Zhang Zhongjun. And if it is one's own retainer, then life and death are between the thoughts of the lord! Therefore, the samurai directly under the governor of the family are much safer in this regard, and they will not be killed at any time, but if they offend the high-ranking samurai and be suppressed, of course, it is inevitable.

After all, for a family governor, the captain of the ashigaru is too inconspicuous, and it is impossible for his eyes to be projected on such a low-level samurai.

Continuing back to gift-giving, because of the different statuses, the gift must also reflect the rank. For example, the gift of the captain of the ashigaru is a cloth worth 100 wen, and the general of the ashigaru has an extra head knife that is also worth 100 wen on this cloth.

In the face of Zhang Zhongjun, a newcomer, bringing cloth that was very valuable to these low-level warriors, especially to the samurai women, naturally they were all warmly welcomed, and they all had to drink a few words of tea and talk about things at home.

Zhang Zhongjun was busy for three days before he completely visited all the captains and generals in Zijin City, well, even if no one was at home, he left a gift and reported his name.

First of all, the handymen in Zijin City all knew him, after all, the handymen who helped him tidy up the house before enjoyed a delicious meal, and there were dozens of rewards for hundreds of texts, which can be said to be praised by everyone.

Then, Zhang Zhongjun's hard work was equivalent to allowing him to count how many low-level warriors the Zichuan family had in Zijin City, and clearly understand what the grassroots strength of the Zichuan family was.

134 Ashigaru generals, 567 ashigaru captains, this is the number of low-level samurai regiments of the Zichuan family in Zijin County now. It is rumored that there were about the same number of low-ranking samurai stationed in the towns and villages below. Thinking about the Zichuan family, the county lord who controls the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in Zijin County, there are only more than 1,000 samurai at the level of the captain of the ashigaru, no wonder the Zichuan family is desperately recruiting and appointing new samurai every day, and there is really too little manpower.
