Warring States Survival Guide

Chapter 47 What should I do?

"Inbanjo" is a document with a seal from the Middle Ages to the end of the modern era in Japan. There are usually two types of seals: red seal and black seal. However, there is not much difference between these two types of "Inbanjo" in the Warring States Period of Japan. Both are official documents for issuing orders, usually used in administrative affairs such as granting territory, house land, and fields, requesting the dispatch of materials, and adjusting someone's position.

Yuanye now has a "Black Seal Judgment" in his hand, which can also be referred to as "Black Seal". The general content is to designate a house for Yuanye to live in, which is regarded as giving him Owari household registration, and allowing him to "travel as he pleases" - "travel as he pleases" means that he can freely use post horses from various places and pass through them at will. Adding the word "as" means that he can pass through various city checkpoints at will like an emergency messenger, and no one can stop him. He must be released as soon as possible and provided with certain conveniences.

As for the person who signed it, it was Sawaki Touemon Okiyo, the adoptive father of Sawaki Tohachiro Yoshiyuki and the current mayor of Nafuno Castle. The seal he stamped on it was also the "Seal of Nafuno no Kami" that was officially certified by the imperial court.

Of course, the official document was signed by Sawaki Okiyo, but it was definitely the intention of Oda Nobunaga.

Yuanye could probably guess what he was thinking, which was the same as the middle school boys in later generations - things may change over time. It doesn't matter if you don't submit to me now. I'll let you stay here and take a good look at what kind of person I am. Sooner or later, you'll hold my thighs and beg me to accept you.

As for "如传马许形", it was probably Oda Nobunaga showing his magnanimity, saying that although he gave him a registered residence, he did not want to confine him to Owari Province. He could leave freely at any time and no one would stop him. At the same time, his profession was also taken into consideration, making it more convenient for him to practice medicine everywhere.

This is in line with the behavior style of Oda Nobunaga at his age. He has great confidence in himself and believes that he is unparalleled in the world. He wants to convince others with his own strength, hard work, and the heads of his enemies, and he disdains to pester others.

After reading the "black mark", Yuan Ye secretly thought in his heart... well, he was not convinced. His idea of independence would not be shaken in a hundred years. It was useless to show him confidence and magnanimity. He just felt that boys of seventeen or eighteen years old, no matter what country they were from or what era they were in, seemed to think that they were the protagonists of the world and that everyone in the world would revolve around them. They were as cute as young white flowers.

He put it away again and asked Maeda Toshiie, "Does Lord Oda Saburo have anything else to say?"

Maeda Toshiie shook his head: "No, Master Saburo just asked me to do it and then send the things over."

"Then please thank Lord Oda Saburo for me and tell him that I understand what you mean and I'm very grateful!" Yuanye raised his glass and asked him to convey his gratitude. After all, he really gave him a house and was very generous. He had to thank him. Anyway, it was better than the Arako Maeda family, who failed to recruit and didn't give a single penny - if you don't recharge ten 648 to fill the pool first, how can you draw the SSR generals limited to the whole server? You are really ignorant!

"It's a small matter!" Maeda Toshiie was also very happy. He picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip immediately to show that he agreed.

Then Yuanye changed the subject and began to inquire about the situation of Oda Nobunaga's close attendants. After all, it would be good to know more about them when you have nothing to do, so that you won't be caught off guard in case you need to deal with them in the future and be unable to tell the difference between ABC.

Maeda Toshiie was very talkative after drinking and would tell everyone he knew. Besides, it was not a secret. Oda Nobunaga took them around all day long. Anyone who was careful would know it all after two days of observation. He then listed all the minor retainers around Oda Nobunaga one by one.

Yuanye listened for a while, but didn't learn much. He had never seen most of the names in later generations or when he played "Taikou 2". These people were most likely to have given up halfway, or they had mediocre talents and no achievements, and never made it to the top.

After chatting for a while, Maeda Toshiie had already drunk all the wine he brought with him, and was already about 70% drunk, so he simply said goodbye and took Murahachiro to Arashi Castle. After he finished his official business, he was already near Arashi Castle, and was ready to go home to stay overnight and visit his family - he also bought a toy for Song, so he just took it back to her and lifted her up.

Yuanye sent him to the entrance of the village before returning to Yayoi's house. As soon as he reached the gate, Aman rushed out and asked curiously, "Why did that dung ball from the Maeda family come to see you?"

This guy smells like gunpowder. If he were in the United States, he would have been arrested long ago. Judging from the smell on her, she must have just finished shooting the school with a machine gun. Yuanye fanned the air in front of her nose and asked her back, "You've finished the iron cannon training. Is there any problem?"

"What's the problem? It's a simple thing. I'm so smart that I'll definitely learn it in no time." Ah Man looked relaxed, and then he said expectantly, "Can you help me fix the cannon later? Give me the cover you mentioned. It's a bit inconvenient to use now."

She was really shameless. She was clearly helping Yuanye carry the cannon, but just one day later, the cannon was about to become hers. However, Yuanye didn't care and said casually: "Okay, when I have time one day, I will help you fix the cannon."

Ah Man was satisfied, and then he remembered what happened just now, and asked curiously: "You haven't told me why that dung ball came here, is he trying to trick us again?"

"I'm here to deliver an official document." Yuanye took her to the ground floor, took out the "black seal" and showed it to her, and asked, "Where is this Takeuchi House? What kind of place is it?"

Takeuchi-sho is the location of the house that Oda Nobunaga gave him. He had asked Maeda Toshiie before, but Maeda Toshiie only knew that it was near Furuno Castle and had never been there, so he couldn't explain it clearly. Ah Man learned to read every night and made rapid progress. He already had basic reading ability. He stumbled through the "Black Seal" and said in disbelief: "The fool Oda gave you a house for no reason? He is really a spendthrift, not much worse than you!"

The temporary maid Yayoi was cleaning up the leftovers nearby. She looked over in surprise when she heard this. After a moment, she thought of something and her face began to look anxious and worried. Yuanye was concerned about where the house was and didn't notice the expression on her face. He urged Aman, "Stop talking nonsense. Have you ever been to Takeuchi House?"

"I haven't been there, but I've passed by it a few times and it feels okay!" Ah Man is indeed a well-trained street stalker. After running around for a long time, he actually knows where the place is. He quickly found the map, recalled it, and pointed to the northwest of Kuno Castle and said, "It's probably at this location, next to a tributary of the Nagara River. There is a depression and a small lake. The village is next to the lake. The main products are lotus seeds, lotus roots, fish, fish glue and feathers. It is one of the direct territories of the big fool Oda."

This map was hand-drawn by Aman, and there was no scale. Yuanye looked at it for a while but couldn't tell the distance, so he asked, "How far is it from here?"

A-Man thought for a moment and replied, "If we walk, it will take about an hour and a half! If we ride a horse, the speed of a horse is generally about three times faster than walking, so it will take half an hour."

Yuanye nodded, and had a rough idea of the distance. The last time he went to Kuno Castle, it took him more than four hours to walk, which was more than two hours. So, Takeuchi Village was only more than an hour's walk from Kuno Castle, and about 20 minutes on horseback?

If you calculate it this way, Takeuchi-sho is considered a suburb of Furuno Castle and has a provincial capital hukou?
Seeing him standing there in silence, Ah Man asked curiously, "When are you going to move in?"

Yuan Ye hesitated and shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet. It's a bit far away."

The house he got for free was indeed quite far away. If he really lived there, he would not be able to do the first of his daily tasks, which was "go to the mountains to see if the fog has risen and see if he can return to the modern world." He couldn't walk for more than three hours every morning to get into Mount Ise, then see if there was any fog and then walk back for more than three hours. He would then have nothing to do all day.

But if we don't move and stay at Yayoi's house, there will be many inconveniences. At least the quality of life will be difficult to guarantee, and it will be difficult to implement the life improvement plan.

For example, this hut is not comfortable to live in. It is cold in winter and warm in summer. There may be a lot of mosquitoes in summer. Moreover, it is very uncomfortable to sleep on the straw mat. I feel sore in my waist and back when I wake up. It should be renovated. It is best to tear it down and rebuild it. However, I am just renting here, and I have never heard of a tenant tearing down the landlord's house and rebuilding it...

It is not a good idea to build a small chemical laboratory in someone else's home. Locking the door tightly, controlling the flow of people in and out, and enforcing confidentiality regulations also show a lack of respect for the landlord and the fact that the landlord is not treated as a human being.

Hibitsu Village is also very poor. It is just a very small and ordinary village. The only relatively large city nearby is the dilapidated Arako City. Shopping is extremely inconvenient. Even decent steel is hard to find, let alone running an industry and making a fortune.

It would have been great if the house that Oda Nobunaga gave him could be located near Hibizun Village, but unfortunately that was not the case. It was estimated that Oda Nobunaga was unable to allocate a piece of land from the Arako Maeda family to him.

At least it is impossible for Oda Nobunaga to do so at the moment. He is just an heir now, and even the lord of Furuno Castle is just a figurehead. Most of the power is in the hands of the retainers sent to him by his father, and they can only be considered as bloated.

Yuanye was in a dilemma and hesitated for a moment, which made Aman wonder: "What do you mean it's a bit far? It's a bit far from Hibitsu Village? What's so good about this broken village? There's nothing here. Why do you like this place so much?"

"You don't understand!" Yuanye couldn't explain to her. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go and take a look tomorrow and see what's going on over there!" Maybe Takeuchi Village is a big cesspool. If he goes there to take a look, he will run back covering his nose. There is no need to worry about it anymore.

"Okay, then I'll take you to have a look tomorrow!" Aman was also very interested in Yuanye's new home and was ready to get to know it so that he could go there for some free food and drinks when he passed by in the future.

Yayoi finally finished cleaning up the dishes and cups, and quietly slipped out of the room with a frown on her face, feeling even more worried - is the kind-hearted Saburo finally leaving? What should I do? I really don't want him to leave!

She hesitated for a moment, then quickly went to find her mother Aping, hoping to hear if her mother had any good ideas.
