    The retainers all dispersed, but Nobuzada Ohuchi remained motionless. Kira Mansomaru knew that he had something to say, and the two of them sat quietly for a while. It seemed that the pen-headed family elder was still thinking about how to persuade him.  If you can't persuade him, why should you persuade him now?  Doomed to be a futile effort.  "Master! You are right. This is the Kira family's biggest disaster in the past three hundred years. As the governor of this family, you cannot be trapped in Mikawa. However, as the master of the museum, I have the hindsight."  , it is absolutely not allowed to follow the master, so please allow me to follow you and bring my son, Mikawa, to contribute to the great cause of the Kira family!" Okouchi Nobuzada's statement is not unexpected.  The Chief Producer also wanted to be passionate. Although loyalty and courage are praiseworthy and worthy of praise, this does not fit with his strategy. Without him to watch over Mikawa, what will happen if the family fortune in Lao Lao is emptied by the Imagawa family? What will happen in the future?  It¡¯s not like there¡¯s no way out.  Kira Manshomaru could only comfort him: "My family already understands Taimamoru's thoughts! But my family's family business in Mikawa Country has not been completely abandoned. The Saijo Kira family has just left, but the land and retainers are still there. Even my brother  He only leads Saijo Castle in name only. The Kira family's chiefs are still in the family, and all the princes are still the retainers of the family. " "But the master also needs manpower when he goes to the capital. I lived in Kyoto with the previous master when I was young, so I should be able to help.  The master of the hotel!" Ohuchi Nobuzada said without giving up.  "But Tajima Mamoru is the backbone of our family! Without Tajima Mamoru in charge, the family will lose its backbone, and the people of the country will take the opportunity to disrupt the family. If the family business is in trouble, can I, the governor of the family, still be stable in Kyoto?" "This   Since I cannot follow the master of the hall, please ask the master of the hall to let us and other clan members follow you to Luo Fenggong!" Ohuchi Nobuzada decisively showed his trump card, you don't want us to go to Kyoto to accompany Fenggong!  What?  Then we can take our people with us. Now, no matter whether the family governor is good or bad, these generations can feel at ease. Many people have understood the principle of not putting all eggs in the same basket from ancient times to the present.  .  "Since Tajima Shou is kind-hearted, I agree!" When he was about to leave, Kira Manshomaru said a bunch of impassioned words to encourage him, making Ohuchi Nobuzada pat his chest and express that he must protect the Kira family's property before he can leave with peace of mind.  go.  It was already past noon when Kira Mansomaru got up and walked out of the assessment room. He called a young man to prepare lunch. He returned to the castle tower alone and took off his hunting clothes that were in the way.  The version of clothing is made of silk and linen with good breathability. It is comfortable and beautiful to wear. Of course, it is also most suitable for Kira Manshomaru who has not yet entered the Yuan Dynasty.  Ever since Kira Manshomaru advocated eating meat, there have been some changes in Kira's family. For example, the number of eagle hunts has increased, and they have to go hunting almost every three to five days. Horseback samurai have become accustomed to riding on horses and shooting their prey with bows.  , some people with high talent in archery and horsemanship began to ask for advice on the Ogasawara clan's archery and horsemanship, simply because they wanted to learn the Yabushi horsemanship passed down from the Heian period.  Only with motivation can you achieve results. He has hunted countless prey such as hares, wild boars, wild deer, and deer since he was a child. In order to justify his meat-eating behavior, he used his identity to force the horse warriors to follow him. These  The guy's brain structure is simple, and he still retains a simple sense of right and wrong. Killing animals may be understandable, but eating meat is absolutely unacceptable. Under his threat, he did not dare to disobey Kira Manshomaru's orders. He could only lie down and cry to gods and Buddhas.  I prayed silently while biting and chewing.  In this era, spices have always been valuable items. Whether it is roasted or boiled, all you can do is sprinkle some salt on it. The resulting food is neither delicious nor beautiful. In order to improve the food, Kira Manshomaru ordered Ma Huizhong to use fish.  He fished in the Chaxia River and stewed the fish with the meat for a change of taste. He also started to develop the habit of fishing from that time on.  Although the method of forcing the Ma Hui people is a bit unclear, the benefits of switching to eating meat are still obvious. The bodies of these Ma Hui people are much stronger than a few years ago, and some of the young ones have grown a bit taller.  , with the effect, it will naturally bring about the enthusiasm of the horse warriors. In addition to guarding Kira Mansongmaru, these horse warriors are just practicing fighting skills. Without good health, they can't do anything.  In order to appease them, Kira Manshomaru also used Tada Mitsurii, one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Takeda family, as an example. He said that Tada Mitsurui was a meat-eating samurai who was not only good at bows and arrows, but also very good at night fighting.  The reason is because he eats meat. This is a bit nonsense, but these horseback samurai believe this very much. The Koshu Takeda family is not far from Mikawa. The Takeda family's martial name has always been very loud in Dongguo and Tokaido. Take  As an example, Mitsuru Tada, these horseback warriors can eat meat with peace of mind.  These people may not necessarily know who the Five Tigers of Kai are, as long as they know that these words are coming from home.?Whatever comes out of your mouth must be true. If anyone says it is not true in front of them, they will definitely pick up their samurai swords and fight them to the death.  The Kira family's lineage retainers are very loyal. These horse clans were formed for him by his father. The ancestors of these horse clans followed the Kira family governor and became a powerful samurai in the shogunate. They may not be very smart.  , but loyalty and bravery are not bad at all.  Nobuzada Okouchi once said: "The reputation of the Kira family's horseback samurai has spread all over Mikawa. This is all a blessing to the master!" The horseback samurai is a tradition that the Kira family has maintained for two hundred years. It has been maintained for six years before Kira Manshomaru was born.  The scale of ten people relied on the profits from the salt fields on the shore of Mikawa Bay. Until Kira Manshomaru discovered that the method of drying salt in salt fields was very unscientific, he came up with a new idea to increase the efficiency of drying salt several times and refine better  Only fine salt makes a difference.  First dig trenches to lead seawater to the salt fields below sea level, and then build tide-proof dams around the perimeter so that they are not affected by the tide. After the seawater dries, the mixture of salt and sand is poured into the marsh well, and clean water is injected into it.  Through fine mesh filtration and separation, brine with a high salt content can be obtained. This brine cannot be used yet. After drying again, the dissolved water undergoes secondary fine filtration to obtain pure brine with very few impurities. Finally, high-salt brine is obtained through distillation.  Purity of sea salt.  Because Kira Manshomaru proposed a new technology, he also joined forces with a family to build breakwaters and dig salt fields on the beach near the seaside. The original salt households were reorganized into a new business of the Kira family. This business has been going on for several years.  The business started and got on the right track. The commercial towns and people near Tokai have gradually recognized the reputation of Saijo refined salt.  Among them, the Kira family's salt field is the largest, with a stable output of 180 koku of salt every month. The highest monthly output in summer is 330 koku, which is also a very profitable business. Saijo refined salt sells for as much as 1 koku per koku.  The money costs 800 yuan, which is more than half the price of ordinary coarse salt, and the cost is almost a fraction.  The Kira family was able to have two hundred horseback samurai, and each of them was skilled in bow and horse skills. It was only through the huge profits from salt that they were able to expand. Many retainers who had not had the opportunity to become horseback samurai got the coveted opportunity. Yamamoto Kansuke spent five years  The time spent training eight hundred elites relies on this income as a base. Without money, you can't train elite soldiers, and you can't train strong soldiers with empty words. Only a strong economic foundation can survive better.
