    No one in the Matsudaira family cared about the life or death of the Hattori clan who were not born in Mikawa. Sakai Tadashi suppressed him like this and no one stepped forward to help. He found a reason to cut off the meager salary that maintained the Hattori clan's 100 members.  Without an income, livelihood has become a problem, and Hattori Bouchou is also confused. He doesn't know where to go if he leaves the Matsudaira family at this time. Neither the Imagawa clan nor the Oda clan has the need to support a ninja army. If he leaves the Matsudaira family at this time,  He could only lead his tribe to continue wandering.  Yamamoto Kansuke seized the opportunity and intervened in time to relieve his concerns. As a person from Mikawa Kingdom and as a wanderer in various countries for more than ten years, it was easy to win the recognition of Hattori Baochang. After a period of contact and repeated persuasion, Hattori Baochang finally decided  Leaving the Matsudaira family and embracing the Kira family.  "That's it! What the Matsudaira family did is really unpopular!" Kira Manshomaru smacked his lips. It was the first time he heard about the dark history of such a celebrity, and he still felt a little uneasy.  It¡¯s really too harsh to support the Hattori clan with a population of nearly a hundred!¡± Kirara Manshomaru asked, ¡°Master, how much rice can you buy with a copper coin now?¡± ¡°At Mikawa¡¯s grain price, you can probably buy eight.  Let¡¯s fight for five liters of rice!¡± ¡°So one hundred copper coins can only buy eighty-five liters of rice!¡± ¡°What if we replace it with grains such as brown rice, millet, wheat, and potatoes?  , you can double it and buy one hundred and seventy stones of food. " "It seems that it is still not enough" The two asked and answered the last fig leaf of the Hattori family without any malice.  Peel off.  The commonly used copper coins in Mikawa are Ju coins, which are low-quality copper coins made by local lords who do not have the coinage technology. In the early years of Tianwen, prices were high, and a hundred Guanwen of Ju coins could buy a hundred stones of rice. However, with the increase of Ju coins,  The proliferation of private coinage caused prices to rise continuously. By the 18th year of Tianwen's reign, a hundred guan of money could only buy 85 shi of rice.  Eighty-five kilo of rice seems like a lot, but an adult consumes one kilo and eight buckets of food a year. Eighty-five kilo is not enough to feed the men of the Hattori family. Do those women and children have to drink the northwest wind?  Even if all the eighty-five kilograms of rice were replaced with whole grains, it would only be doubled and it would still not be enough to eat. Therefore, Hattori Chief kept his head down in embarrassment and remained silent. The twenty-odd Hattori tribesmen who accompanied him were different.  There was no emotion at all. Everyone clenched their fists and gnashed their teeth in anger. It seemed that the Matsudaira family really didn't do many good things.  In addition to Hattori Bouchou, who serves as the head of the Matsudaira family and can receive a salary of 100 kan, there are also some low-level samurai in his family who serve as the Matsudaira family. Although they can only receive a few kan or simply  One person only eats about 1,000 square meters of rice, but he can live a manageable life. He belongs to a group of people who are barely struggling to meet the food and clothing line.  Of course, this is just pure living expenses. Ninjas need activity funds to collect intelligence. Daily training, weapons and clothing expenses and other expenses have not been included. In the past, Matsudaira Hirotada could receive some additional support and rewards when he was still alive. However, Matsudaira Hiroshi  Once Zhong dies, everything will be gone. Not only that, he won't even give you a salary.  In the past six months, the Hattori family has not been able to get a penny in salary, and they have been relying on the little money they have accumulated over the past ten years. Hattori Chief also tried to find the Matsudaira clan elders to solve the problem, but none of them were willing to speak for him.  The kind ones can give him some food rations, but the unkind ones can just kick him out.  The lofty Iga Jonin Hattori clan was reduced to relying on charity. It was really a shame that the Hattori family had to go into the mountains secretly to hunt animals in order to have enough food.  They make a living by fishing in the river. The women of the clan gather together to weave fishing nets and rattan baskets, and sell them in the castle town of Okazaki Castle. Whenever they meet the Matsudaira family samurai in the castle town, their faces are always full of humiliation and anger. The Hattori family  My affection for the Matsudaira family has been exhausted unconsciously.  Seeing the angry expressions of all the relatives of the Hattori family, Kira Mansomaru said: "I was very happy to hear that Ishimiden intends to switch to our family! As our family's sincerity in accepting the Hattori family, I specially ordered Hattori Iwami Moribo to serve as Monomichi for our family.  The annual salary is two hundred guanwen. "Yes! I am grateful for the kindness of the master! I am willing to serve the Kira family and never forget the great kindness of the master!"  The salary increase is excessive, but it is still a surprise to double the annual salary so easily. Doubling the food can improve living conditions a lot, which means that this winter, people do not have to worry about hunger and cold, nor do they have to worry about making a living.  The despicable business competes with the poor for profit. At the greeting of Hattori Chief, the Hattori family members knelt down and thanked them.  "Ishimiden is responsible for organizing the Mono-Mianban for the family. The number of personnel must not be less than twenty. The equipment ration used for the Mono-Mianban will be paid separately by the family. Please leave this matter to me."?Shi Jian Dian!  "After the salary was negotiated, it was naturally an obligation. Kira Manshomaru did not leave any difficulties to him, and gave him preferential treatment in terms of materials and equipment. He then said: "In addition, you must provide ten loyal and brave ninjas to serve as the family's interrogators. The treatment of these ten people  Will be the same as my horse back!  "    "yes!  We are willing to die loyally to the master!  "The people of the Hattori clan are very excited. The new master's family is very generous to the Hattori family. They are very generous when they first make a move. The Kira family's horse warriors are famous for their high treatment. The Kira family pays for the fodder of the horses, and the training losses are borne by the Kira family.  The cost of arrows and weapons is borne by the Kira family. In addition, each person can get three people's support rice, which is six stone of rice. It is more than enough to feed a family of three. These ten people can feed thirty people, which is enough for Hattori.  The chief protector has reduced the financial burden of thirty people. Taking into account the salary and various subsidies of 200 yuan, it is not impossible that the living conditions of the Matsudaira family will be improved by twice.  , Ashikaga Shogun's family also has a group of kaishou to protect the shogunate palace. However, below the shogunate, there are usually no kaishou names. Instead, they appear under the names of horseback, hatamoto, etc. These people are all samurai who are not engaged in production. They usually  As long as they can hone their bow and horse skills, they can serve as military service for the main family during wartime and serve as the guardians of the family. This is definitely big news, and the Hattori clan seems to be a little lost in thought.  , Kira Mansomaru ordered very considerately: "You guys have come all the way to join me, and you must settle down in a house, Zenjiro!  The settlement of the Hattori clan will be left to you!  "    "yes!  "Zenjiro stood up in response, and Hattori Chief also thanked the Hattori family again and again, and then happily followed Zenjiro out of Honmaru. They were settled in the Shiyashiki, which was originally named Waikoulun and is now renamed Sanmaru, including the Shiyashiki.  The entire Saijo Castle was rebuilt by Kansuke Yamamoto. The Saijo Castle of the Kira family was originally built in the era of Ashikaga Yoshiji, the third generation governor of the Ashikaga clan, the leader of the Genji family in Kawachi. It has been the residence of the Kira family for more than 300 years and has generally maintained its original appearance.  It was not until Kansuke Yamamoto came to the Kira family in the 11th year of Astronomy that the castle looked like a civil structure and spent several years rebuilding a Saijo Castle that was closer to the new era. This castle took on new power.
