Chapter 80

‘Is there still no movement in Wakasa?’

Ishikawa Goemon, ‘Yes, lord.’

‘It seems that this time, it’s still the leader of the sect.’

‘Everyone knows that the lives of those mobs are the least valuable.’

‘Go down, pay more attention to the movements in Danbo, remember that you must first calm your home when fighting foreign countries.’

‘Hi.’

After seeing off Ishikawa Goemon, I closed the book and sighed, "I can't even see through this time." Which is the Maori family singing this time?"

Ashi brought the snacks and tea, "My husband, have some midnight snack."

‘Yeah, okay. Where is Chacha? Have you slept?’ The three-year-old Chacha is the eldest daughter of Ashi and me, and is also the first heir to the Kudo family. In the midst of turmoil, the next generation must do a good job.

Ashi replied, 'I'm already asleep with my nurse.'

I picked up a piece of pastry and told me while eating, "There are signs of instability in Honan Temple recently. I want to go downstairs to take a look. The protection and education of tea must be done well."

Ashi smiled and said, "Honey, have you found a good teacher for Chacha?"

‘Which one?’

‘My devil.’

‘Puff’ The sip of tea that I just drank was sprayed out. Then I thought, the girl who suffered a loss if she didn’t learn a little sex technique was the one who ended up being herself. ‘Forget it, she won’t be able to suppress her skills.’

Seeing that I yawned a few times, Ashi advised me, "My husband, it's time to rest."

"I understand." After returning to the bedroom with Ashi, more than a dozen wives and concubines still knelt on the tatami and greeted each other with a smile. Seeing Yingzi and others with a wicked smile, they probably knew that I would go to the countryside tomorrow and wanted to squeeze me dry today to prevent me from doing anything outside.

I have a beautiful place to sleep with a big quilt. Sometimes I think about it, there is also benefits without a bed. The room is covered with tatami. The bigger the room, the bigger the bed.

The price was also there, but the result was that the next day, when Matsuda Nagamaki went to the countryside, he almost fell off his horse in a trance several times.

‘Lord, here’ The first stop that Matsuda Nagamaki took me to is only a few miles away from Hachikang, and it is also a piece of the new crop test field.

Several flag books helped me turn over and get off the horse, 'It's here.' It looks beautiful and the environment is pretty. If there is a hot spring, it will be a place to recuperate.

Zhuangto had just received the notice I was coming, and hurriedly led his family to kneel down at Zhuangkou to greet him, "Bangto Kameda Taro has met the adults."

‘Get up. Taro Kida is here to go to your house first.’

‘Yes, yes.’ Taro Kida stood up and welcomed the people to the largest house in the village. Of course, even the largest house, hundreds of flag books could not be accommodated at all, so he could only camp and rest in batches at the entrance of the village. Nagamoto Matsuda and his men went to the ground to inspect and see how much they had gained.

‘Gutina, I heard that your village has a good harvest, right?’ The spring sweet potatoes grown in this village have begun to harvest. It is said that several grain chops collapsed due to excessive load loads.

Taro Kida wiped his cold sweat, 'Yes, yes, yes, I thought that after a few days, I would give your highness a tax. Unexpectedly, your highness came first.'

Tell me, who are you cheating? The sweet potatoes sold secretly in this village these days have been sold as many as hundreds of kilograms. When they say that they have finished harvesting, they may not even leave any scum.

‘To be honest, I haven’t eaten the fresh sweet potatoes in a long time. In addition to taking a look, I also want to try them out.’

‘Immediately, I will do it for Your Highness immediately.’

When I ate the sweet and boiled sweet potatoes, Matsuda Nagamori, who went to the field to inspect, also returned to Taro Kameda's house. "My lord, I've seen it all, there are no sweet potatoes on the surface of the field. But because the sweet potatoes grow underground, there will be about 10% of the omissions when harvesting, so I can still dig some. Should I send someone to dig them all out?'

‘No need, leave it to the people in the village to play slowly. You can also have a piece, it’s really sweet.’

‘Thank you.’ Matsuda Nagamatsu hesitated for a moment and took the boiled sweet potato I handed over. ‘It tastes good, it is indeed sweet.’

After eating and drinking, I said to Taro Kida who was kneeling beside me, 'This time I decided that I would take away the remaining 60% besides 40% of the sweet potatoes as taxes. Because the taste is so good, in addition to keeping them for next year's seeds, I can also offer them to the Emperor.'

Taro Kita burst into tears, and said, "Your Highness, you can't do this. Our village is counting on these sweet potatoes for the winter this year."

God knows that what Kameda said is true or false. Maybe it was because he wanted to change rice to spend the winter. This village has 1,300 stones of land. Because the large area of ​​super high-yield sweet potatoes planted has an amazing output of 30,000 stones, which is 10 million kilograms of grain. According to Nagato Matsuda, there are still 10% of the sweet potatoes in the field that have not been dug out, which is also 3,000 stones, two or three times the previous output, which is enough for this village to use. Are people really so greedy? Or should I kill people and establish my authority?

After thinking about it, I still have to give these first batch of crab-eating people a little sweetness, ‘Okay. A few days ago, I heard that you sold hundreds of kilograms of sweet potatoes here at the price of radish. I also bought all the remaining 60% of the sweet potatoes at this price.’ Sixty percent is 6 million kilograms, and two cents per kilogram is 12,000 kilograms. I didn’t expect that a small village can make a fortune even if it is a new style of snacks. Even if it is sold for 5 cents per kilogram, it will be sold out. If it is not enough to go for a small amount, it will not come for a big money.

Taro Kida breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had to suffer a little loss when buying the village, it was much better than forcing him to go. ‘Your Highness, it was just that the village had so much money. Can it be exchanged for equivalent cattle, horse, rice?’ Taro Kida now knows that sweet potatoes are delicious, but they still can’t eat too much. Like other snacks, it hurts to have stomachache after eating too much, and sweet potatoes have a greater reaction. At the mildest, they are sore and sore, and they can’t straighten their waists. Rice is the most serious food.

I still have a lot of cattle and horses in my hands, all for transportation. The price of the house is not what I said. When I thought I could spend less money and do more, I agreed immediately. I threw away the sweet potato peel in my hand and wiped my hands on a flag-book. "Okay, how many cattle and horses do you need in the village? Let's settle the rest with rice for you."

The most common way to replace gold is to use rice instead of gold. Copper coins are imported from the Ming Dynasty. Although there are a lot of quantities, it is impossible to meet the trade needs of Japan. There are also disadvantages of copper coins, such as not being eaten as food. Because many remote places still use the tradition of bartering. Although rice prices often fluctuate, in general, most of this era encounters natural disasters, the possibility of rice price increases is greater than the possibility of falling.

I took pictures of the sweet potatoes loaded on the ox cart, ‘This first car was delivered to my wife. Try it fresh.’

I sent off a batch of 1,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and thought about it. Nearly 10 million kilograms of seeds are not enough to be used. You might as well be more generous. His Highness Nobunaga should also send some to him. Grief teeth, isn’t it just a 2-cent money? ‘This second car is sent to Inabayama Castle.’ After receiving the report of Kinki’s unstable and Honganji’s abnormal movement, Oda Nobunaga immediately returned to Mino, ready to lead troops to quell the rebellion at any time.

‘The third car is given to Lord Niba from Izumi City.’ ‘The fourth car is given to Lord Aizhi from Mikawa.’
