Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The first step is to make a money mold. You need to manually carve a copper block into the initial mother-of-pearl. You also need to file off the burrs of the mother-of-pearl to ensure that the writing is clear and beautiful. Then you use the mother-of-pearl to make several mother coins and use the mother coins to make them.  To act as a money mold, the steps for this step are actually the same as the following steps.  The second step is to make the model, prepare the wooden frame to fix it, fill the wooden frame with high-quality sand and compact it, then place the mother money to press out the accurate outline, and then stack another wooden frame filled with sand on top  On it, it is used to turn the front mold and the back mold, and then take out the mother mold after the mold is solidified, and make gates, sprues, and sub-runners.  The third step is to cast the coins. Use a crucible to hold the molten copper liquid and align it with the casting mouth for casting. After cooling, open the mold to take out the coins. Then clean, trim and polish the coins. The casting of the coins is completed because the sand mold no longer needs to be dried slowly in the shade.  and baking, so the casting speed is very fast.  Then he was a little embarrassed. Where to find a carver? Use a carving knife to carve it out bit by bit. The coins should be very round and the square holes should be standard without any deformation or deviation. And the most terrible thing is that the mother coins are better than the copper coins made from sand.  It needs to be one circle larger, and the carved mother is one circle larger than the mother coin. How to grasp this size is not just a matter of holding a small flat coin and pointing it at the carving.  When he was distressed, he turned around and saw Soga Heibei waiting to point his big eyes at him: "Use me, I can do it!" "Are you sure?" Kira Yoshi looked at Soga Heibei suspiciously.  Wei, judging from his humble appearance, does he really have this ability?  "Sure!" Soga Heibei nodded fiercely. Kira Yoshi had no choice but to nod and leave the matter to Soga Heibei.  On April 20, Naito Masashige returned from his brief practice of Hioki-ryu archery. Kira Yoshitsune called him to ask about his practice. Naito Masashige said with emotion: "Hioki-ryu archery is profound and profound. I have been practicing day and night for the past few months."  My understanding of archery has been further improved through practice, but this archery is slightly incompatible with my archery skills. I just take advantage of the strengths to make up for the weaknesses, strengthen what I can't learn, and come back when I feel that I have learned everything I need to learn.  "Oh, the Rokkaku family didn't give you any trouble, did they?" Kira Yoshiki was still quite concerned about the powerful generals under his command.  "No!" Naito Masashige bowed gratefully and said without hesitation: "However, His Highness Yoshida Shigemasa tried several times to persuade me to join the Rokkaku family, but I was rejected by me." "Did you refuse? Well done!"  Kira Yoshitoshi laughed and said: "I, the chief archer of the Kira family, a famous general who shot Shikawa and Ichino to death with one arrow, how could I go to the Rokkaku family! Masashige is loyal, brave and courageous, and values ??righteousness and integrity! He is really an example of my Mikawa samurai! How long?  ! Tell Fujitaka, Masashige¡¯s annual salary will be increased by one hundred gu from today!¡± ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± The taciturn general burst into tears and kept thanking Kira Yoshitoki for his kindness. Kira Yoshitoki walked over and patted him on the shoulder.  : "Do a good job, you are quite old. I think Kuchiki Harutsuna has a sister who is good. She is three years younger than you and is a suitable age. Let the two of you get married!" At the evaluation meeting at the end of April, during the routine discussion  After learning about the economic situation in the territory, Kira Yoshitoki announced a new order: "First of all, the family decided to expand Sakamoto Castle Town to the north. Katada in the north also has a good port, and it is not far from Sakamoto. It is the best to connect Katada and Sakamoto into one.  The next stage of our family¡¯s development! Secondly, we will inspect the land of the two counties and conduct a census at the same time to determine the tax and military burden of each family!¡± ¡°Inspection of the land!¡± There was an uproar in the assessment room.  Looking at these colleagues indifferently and even with a hint of schadenfreude, the people of Shiga and Takashima prefectures are nominally united under the Kira family. The Kira family also frequently goes to the countryside to collect taxes, but these people are just in awe of the Kira family's power.  With Yoshiki Kira's unpredictable skills, it is still very difficult for them to completely give up their autonomy and submit obediently.  "The owner of the museum has never mentioned that we want to inspect the land before. Whynow we have to inspect the land again?" Some Chinese people couldn't help but asked: "We are unprepared!" Many Chinese people around him nodded.  "What do you mean by this? The two counties of Shiga and Takashima are controlled by the Kira family. We, the Kira family, do not want any of your land. We only inspect the land to establish tax and military service burdens. The master of the palace exercises the power of the national secretary.  Is this still a big fuss?" Isshiki Naotaka jumped out first as a riding general, adhering to his brother's character and temper, which is like a dynamite barrel that explodes when he gets angry.  Another Omi native stood up angrily and asked, "Your Highness Isshiki, what do you mean by this? I didn't say anything. What do you mean by saying so much?" "You know what I mean!" Shitara Sadachi was elected.  The general on horseback, as a straight-looking colleague, naturally had to stand up and help.  "Quiet!" Kansuke Yamamoto knocked on the table and reminded: "During the evaluation, no noise is strictly allowed!" Yoshiki Kira held the iconic batHe kept fanning and fanning, with no expression of displeasure on his face, until the few Chinese people who made trouble sat back in their seats and the scene fell into a brief silence. He said with a smile: "Is it over? I can continue to wait until I'm done.  , everyone can also wait for you to tell them all their complaints and dissatisfaction, and I will continue here." "" Now the Omi people did not dare to speak anymore. Everyone looked at each other and shrank. They have seen this before.  Kira Yoshitoki's methods, whether it was manipulating people's hearts and boosting morale on the battlefield, or secretly solving the Zasho Group that had been entrenched in Sakamoto Port for hundreds of years, all kinds of bizarre rumors were horrifying.  If you take into account the previous means of quietly taking over the territories of the two counties, and the mysterious deaths of Takashima Echichu Mamoru and his younger brother, Kira Yoshitoki in their eyes has completely transformed into an unimaginably terrifying lord. Many rumors are far from it.  Kiragi has a signature smile when he is not on his face, and some people even privately spread the rumor that "If you are not afraid of Sanzuki's anger, you are afraid of Sakamoto's smile." Insiders feel that this rumor is untrue, but the Wu family loves this kind of rumor.  Kira Yoshihide closed the bat and said with a smile: "You have nothing to say? Then the inspection order has been finalized! The family appointed Mitsui Toraka as the inspector, and Okouchi Kunizuna as the deputy, to inspect the two counties.  You must cooperate with the inspection and make sure there are no mistakes!" "Yes!" More than eighty people on both sides leaned over and agreed.  Land inspection is a complex project. First, land inspection accounts must be drawn up to record the local stone height and land wealth and poverty, and then new taxes must be formulated. Because land has differences in land fertility, medieval Japanese farmers did not understand it.  Because of the role of fertilization, the land must be left fallow after several years of cultivation when the fertility is exhausted. They don¡¯t know why it becomes more and more barren as they plant. In short, they just farm the land in a ignorant way and pay the tribute in an ignorant manner.  Kira Yoshishi planned to change this phenomenon, so he had to inspect the land, first understand the fertility of each piece of land, and then plan the planting distribution as a whole. He no longer implemented the traditional agricultural system of rice as the mainstay and miscellaneous grains as the supplement. Of course, wealthy people may not understand  , believed that the land inspection was to increase taxes and increase the burden of military service and general enlistment.  At this time, it was just a few months before the autumn harvest and it was not a busy period for farming. Kira Yoshi planned to send people to carry out propaganda first and try to get the work of the wealthy families done, that is, taxes and military service would be based on the land's richness and poverty, as well as the total population.  He does not intend to let rough and barbaric Shi Gao decide everything.  The Japanese peasants in the Middle Ages were very miserable. He felt it was even more miserable than the peasants in China. 60% of the annual harvest had to be paid as an annual contribution, and the remaining 40% had to be dealt with various poll taxes, house taxes, taxes imposed by the lord, and  Various general requests for service, military service, sometimes bad years, or a arrogant and lewd lord would be in bad luck, and it would be easy to cause trouble, and even the small wealthy families and local servants would rebel.  Hosokawa Fujitaka carried out his order to implement the new town expansion plan, but before the preliminary preparations were completed, he encountered difficulties in Katada. A local group called the Katada people resisted the Kira family's actions, which made Kira Yoshi  I was scratching my head. This is a group of Somura groups native to Lake Biwa. They serve as both water transportation and a navy force. Although there are not many boats, they are very troublesome. This kind of local snake has a special nature. If you mess with them, they may not be able to do it.  Make a fuss.  They are an autonomous naval force under the jurisdiction of the Kira family. Before, Kira Yoshi had no time to control them and everything was fine. However, perhaps seeing the Yodogawa people joining in, the Kira navy expanded rapidly, and the Kira family issued an inspection.  With the unfavorable news about the territorial decree, Hosokawa Fujitaka has made it clear that he wants to expand the Sakamoto Castle Town to Katada, and gradually take back the Katada people's exclusive power over transportation on Lake Biwa. It is obvious that these local snakes suddenly threatened to seek refuge with the Asai family on the other side of Lake Biwa.  .  ¡ª¡ª ?ps: Thanks to Kiso Yoshinaka1, Xingcheng, Baby¨JMuzi, Hejian Shasha, ANDY-zfh, Zhuangliang, and Linzhe for their rewards!  Wu Mei is here to thank everyone!
