Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

Shizuko even checked the visitors' roster from behind, watering it down to the lights, because she saw a name too unexpected.

It was only confirmed that the ink marks did not change vividly and of course were not overwritten by the original name.

"I thought it was a mistake because it's a masterpiece, but I don't care what you think, it's Kobe (Kanbe) Sanchiro (Nobu Oda), right? Why again?"

Shizuko tilts her neck with a wrinkle carved between her eyebrows, but naturally no one responds to her question.

In the first place, Shizuko is cordial with the Oda family currents (in this case, Nobunaga, Nobunaga, Nobunaga), but there is no interaction with Nobunaga located in the common currents.

Speaking of people who are commonplace and have interactions, the city, Nobunaga's real sister, is mentioned, but they are considered Asai people, not Oda people.

With regard to Shinxiao, there is no doubt that Shizuko once bought Nobunaga's anger due to deficiencies in Ise Street maintenance, and that Shizuko took over the issue of whether it was beheaded, and since then it has been the non-negotiation of what he has cooperated with in Ise side development projects.

"I don't know what I'm after, but I can't refuse to see you, and I'll see you"

Though I don't know Shinxiao's thoughts, I can't just respond in a detoured way by assuming that he is a person who will be directly linked to Nobunaga's lineage.

Upon prompt reply, he sent a messenger to Shinxiao's place of stay.

The next morning, Shizuko was being driven out to respond to the greeting hopefuls of the New Year's Eve. This response was only temporary and identity was not taken into account in the order of response, which was to be implemented in the order of reception.

In the course of yesterday, Shinxiao was discussing the rollover of the interview through the messenger, but he tells me that such care was accepted at the beginning of the afternoon because he received a frivolous and reluctant reply.

If you look at his identity, it won't be a problem where he's out of order, but you could still see the difference between his second son Nobuo (Nobutaka) and him around disciplining his order.

"Master Kobe Sanqiro is here. May I show you?

"Okay. Please let me through."

When Shizuko finished her lunch and approached the engraving limit for receiving an afternoon greeting, her first name informed her of Shinxiao's visit.

(If Nobuo isn't involved, he's a common sense person... what can I do for you?

Shizuko's image of Shinxiao is an unfortunate person who gets into some trouble with Shinxiong.

However, from the reports I once received when conducting development projects in the Ise area, I became an honest and intelligent favorite, which was different from the image of Shizuko.

"We are happy to celebrate the New Year. We're out of time, but how are you doing?

Shinxiao was behaving with dignity and courtesy during his meeting with Shizuko. There was a figure of Shinxiao that was very far from the image of something and Shinxiao taking a confrontational attitude and showing a brief behavior.

He even shows a bare gesture of caring for Shizuko, who is busy early in the New Year with his calm physical hips and sophisticated work.

There is no question that Shinxiao is excellent when you try this way. Nobunaga is the most colorful heir to Nobunaga's talent, but Nobunaga is not so much inferior to the rest of Nobunaga.

It was an unusual man that when Nobuo was involved, the unfortunate part was closed up and the impression settled as a figure.

(This kid plays some kind of lapse when Nobuo is involved, but he hasn't made (...) any painful failures instead of no other major feat)

It was Shinxiao, who, to put it better, was solid and, to put it worse, small and entangled.

He also operates without problems using Nobunaga's methods as an example with regard to his territory, and is a craftsman who prefers tough tactics with regard to quantity.

Territorially located nearby, but until now, Shinxiao's side has not been actively involved, so as a static child, I have not collected any information about Shinxiao.

That was disastrous this time, and I couldn't read what thoughts made Shinxiao move.

(Um, I'm not saying I'm here to talk to the public, why don't we point some water at this place?

We have discussed each other's recent developments in a derisive way with greetings, or ended up with rumoured public stories in the alley, but we decided to give out a help boat because Shinxiao is showing more bare gestures about wanting to get to the point than he did earlier.

"With that being said, I heard a lot of visitors gathered at the Ise Shrine at the end of last year, but I heard it was quite a pleasure."

"Well, although there have been reports of burglars on rare occasions, I don't hear stories of significant harm being done to my guests"

"That was it. As for the protection of Ise Senator, I am very concerned about you."

Nobunaga always said, "I do not want to eradicate religion, etc. We have gathered believers to feed on faith, and we have only ruled out those who are ambitious to have power because they are bullied in number".

This was not confined to the warlords under distribution alone, but also to ensure that the voice of Nobunaga reached a wide audience through the tiles.

(I think that has an aspect of propaganda, and I guess Uncle Satisfied is involved around there)

Even the tile version is a groundbreaking mass media in the Warring States era, establishing a position close to modern newspapers.

Pulp paper has not yet been developed, and it cannot be said that the cost is as low as a tile version of a gallip brush on a straw paper.

However, Nobunaga had widely and inexpensively provided the tiles to the people by issuing large grants to the tiles project.

This can't be a confident and cheap investment, but still gripping the mass media meant just tolerating that much expense.

In other words, by disseminating information that is convenient to the sponsor Nobunaga, we are creating a situation where people are told that they are 'guided to think without knowing it'.

There is also Nobunaga's policy, limited to Oda territory, and the literacy rate has improved, and so far it can be said that his policy has been a success.

"Yes, speaking of Ise Jingu, I have a story that the merchant in and out was saying, would you listen if Mr. Kobe's time allowed?

"When Ise Shrine is involved, it cannot be called another HR, I would like to ask you!

Shinxiao glanced at me all the time not to say that he would get my will. Shizuko made a hit from his attitude that his main issue was something about Ise Shrine, but apparently he was shooting.

From Shinxiao, I had hesitation about exposing my weakness to Shizuko, a woman, but if she could shake the subject from me, it would be easy to talk to her for a long time.

Seeing Shinxiao in an overtly upbeat mood, Shizuko continued the conversation, laughing a little bitterly.

"When it comes to joining Ise Jingu, it will be a comfortable journey if you can use the sea route, but the folk grass nostalgia prevents you from paying a high fare. Even though the streets have been built, there are gradients that come from high and low differentials, which are not very peaceful."

"Well, if you go by road, it will take days, and you will need a lot of food proportionally. There is a limit to the amount of luggage that you can hold, and it's the humanity that wants to have a little less luggage in order to walk a long way"

"That's also where the boulders were told by Kobe and the merchants. Insufficient facilities are available to provide meals and beds relative to the length of the street. Now the pedestrians seem to be dealing with it by opening an outdoor shop on the side of the road, but if it's also winter, Nojuku is tough, and if it's anything to snow, logistics will be interrupted as soon as possible. Of course, Lord Kobe knows..."

"Indeed, I have received several such complaints. If it's a fruitful season, you can also procure food in nearby villages, but in winter the villages also have little surplus food, the end of even the dead"

Shizuko, who was able to confirm that the current perception was not eating wrong, continued to snort one word.

"So how about expanding the lodging town to accommodate the increase in attendance and letting the merchants rent out their stores?

"Instead of giving you permission to do business, this is the one who's going to have a store and tell the merchants to rent it!?

"Yes, I know it's urgent to respond to their demand now that the streets have been improved and security has improved, and that the better off golden people, including the Ozhang area, are going out in Ise Tak. Moreover, when you become a merchant who can prepare stores in front of you, you naturally cannot satisfy the demand in small numbers. So we have a store here that needs a lot of money in the early days to give small merchants the opportunity to enter. Of course, the merchants in the big shops (oh yeah) won't look good on this, so we'll do a habitat division. Merchants in big stores are dealing with wealthy people, and we take cheap travelers as our primary guests."

"I see! Lower the lay for new entries and we collect the funds with the taxes and rents we impose on sales. If you want to prepare a store in front of a merchant in a large store that will unilaterally eat for you, give him a tax break..."

"The boulder is Kobe-sama, what is immediate? As for the retail store, the problem would be Inn (Yadoru). I hear that the accommodation you already have is not a good place to stay in the ordinary people's pocket. So in our inn, instead of staying in a large room with firewood and about the US, we're going to have a little fish sleep, right?

Shizuko spoke of the original proposal for the Inn, which in historical fact was the method of the Inn used during the Edo period.

Shizuko's low-cost, bareback accommodation was called a rental accommodation (Chinyado), and the form of accommodation where private rooms were addressed and meals were served was called a cage (apple).

Rental accommodation was literally just an inn that provided firewood for self-catering and rice, which was the staple food, and the meal schedule had to be done on its own using a common (kamado).

Since accommodation costs vary from place to place, if you give an example converted to modern monetary value, the price difference was set at more than five times the price difference between 8 and 900 yen per night in a rental lodging and 4 to 7,000 yen in a cage.

"Hmm, compared to Nojuku, there will be more users if you can also use the" Tsubaki "to raise the rainstorm. If there is such an inn for each accommodation, the safety of Isetsu will increase and we expect to attract more visitors."

"You're right (boulders are good blood muscles, fast to understand and apply)"

"But when it comes to having the right number of stores for all accommodation, it's hard to make gold on boulders"

"I thought I should start by choosing an inconvenient location with a large distance between accommodations. If it were to be a long way to your next place to stay, you would try to get a good rest, even if it was a little expensive. If you're going to build a new lodging town from scratch, you'll need a lot of money, but you can start right away, and if you're going to make it around, you can roll it out sequentially."

"Sure. There are already voices of difficulty on the road (Michiyuki), evidence that supply has not kept pace with demand. Just in case the business fails or the building stays, does our nose not hurt?"

"If people move, they follow and things move. There's always a business opportunity there, and it won't be wasted if you use it as a warehouse to store supplies without having to be an inn or a store."

"If we show that we are doing all this to our guests in Ise 'e 'e 'e 'e, we can come up with a difference with our lords who take no measures."

Although it was easy to guess who the lord and others were without taking the measures, Shizuko remained silent and laughed at him.

"The boulder was named" Oda Family Counsellor, "and received a good proposal. Take this proposal home quickly and discuss it with everyone under your command... I feel sorry for the instant execution and irrevocability, but I have no choice because of my gender"

Shinxiao shrugged as if to mock herself. Shizuko, who seemed to despise herself compared to Nobunaga, who had a reputation for decisiveness, was unconsciously uttering words.

"People have their own strengths. Some people try to support you because you are Kobe, who listens to your subordinates and is consulted. It doesn't make you so despised."

"Well, if you denigrate yourself, will you denigrate the minister who obeys me? It was shallow, I want you to forget it."

"No, I told you I had gone too far."

"No, Lord Shizuko's words were truly appreciated. Few people stand on top of people like us and say a word when they know they will buy unhappiness. It's worth asking about today."

Shinxiao smiled calmly and realized the sincerity of Nobunaga, his father, who advised Shizuko to greet him for the New Year.

Shinxiao thought he was a person who gave Shizuko away. However, I was able to perceive that it was only my assumption in a few moments.

I have annoyed myself about the matter with Nobuo, she was only reluctant to keep her relationship away, and she does not do anything to give up the hand she has been reached out to.

Considering the relationship between Shinxiao and Shinxiong, I understood he was just trying not to put his shoulder on one side to develop into an extra commotion.

(Even if it's not profitable for me, she takes me seriously in their shoes. Is it natural that your father should take advantage of Shizuko?)

Until I got here, it was a ridiculous thought that bothered my head how I could draw profits from Shizuko without showing my weakness.

That's why I thought I could reveal the troubles that I had never revealed to anyone before, if I were a static child.

"To Shizuko, who has a table view, there will be an instrument to discuss with you."

"Consultation......?

"I don't expect to be able to solve it immediately because it's a slightly more intrusive situation, but I'd like your opinion."

Shizuko had something in mind when she heard about the situation.

Shizuko decided to take the lead when she made the impression that it was about her obsession with Nobuo, who was probably a friend of the dog monkey, and made the others listen and assumed that it was not a good content.

"Okay. Could you give us a moment?

Yes, say no, then call for a lowercase name, and tell them to leave a minimal escort to pay for it. Even Giorzo, the last guard to escort Shizuko's neighbor, dropped between the two.

Seeing it, Shinxiao also removes his sword and deposits it with Shizuko, who also lowers him to a separate chamber about his squire. Shinxiao thought that would meet Shizuko's sincerity.

Shinxiao opens his mouth in anticipation of the time when the people have been paid and the room is full of silence.

"As you have already guessed, the content of the consultation will be about the certainty of our brothers. It's silly to say so myself, but I rarely make a painful mistake instead of being greatly accomplished. Exceptionally, when it came to building Ise Street, he played the ugly position of being reprimanded immediately by his father, who said he would offset the credit for his achievements after that."

Nobuo's perception is not wrong. In the line of heavy ministers of the Oda family, I went as far as to say the phrase kicked, or beheaded, than Nobunaga, but Nobunaga is tolerant of those who repent of their failures and change their actions.

If Nobunaga said he would offset his credit, it would be a good idea to think he could have recovered his former failures.

"If so, I cannot bear to be put below those who still do not change their words and deeds and repeat the same mistakes."

(I knew you were dissatisfied with the lower sequence than Nobuo. Certainly not convinced by the meritocratic Oda family that the sequence is immovable even though there is clearly a difference in merit......)

There is no primary material that says that Shinxiao hated Nobuo because of historical facts. However, given their position, Shizuko also understood that such materials could not remain.

Even if it existed, it would eventually be erased by the surviving Nobuo side, and the ministers on Nobuo's side can't abandon the possibility of arranging for no evidence to remain because they hate scandals.

Even Nobunaga, who boasts great visibility, has very little material on his insides.

Materials that expose one's mood, or materials that allow one to perceive the person's mood, are unlikely to remain a warring period lesson that does not make it a good idea to expose one's weaknesses.

"Once upon a time, my lord had a housekeeper fight with his real brother, who divided his blood."

"I hear that story. But in your father's case, and in mine's case, things are..."

"What if it was the real mother who was driving that housekeeper dispute? Dear Sir, you will never speak for yourself, but your mood will never have been calm. My mother is trying to kill herself, so I was wondering if you could understand that she would be avoided fighting over bone meat."

Shinxiao tried to pinch his mouth when the situation was different, but he was to be silenced by Shizuko's words that followed.

I knew that Nobunaga, my father, had a housekeeper dispute with his real brother, but I didn't know that Nobunaga's mother was the only one behind it.

"Still, I hear the Master was allowed to rebel against his brother once. If my mother, who begged for my brother's life, betrayed my brother again, I guess Master Boulder couldn't help but dispose of him. Therefore, the Lord does not want to see my child engage in a bone meat feud over his status. Once you show that the sequence is immobile, you can eliminate ambitious third-party intervention."

"Was it..."

"Of course, this is my guess, and I can't look into your heart. But no matter how successful Kobe is, no matter how many failures the opposing Kita-kun commits, are you not convinced that there is a fault in the immobility of the sequence between the brothers?

"No, I fell to my heart. The dissatisfaction I had was evil because it was my mother's low identity that my father would not recognize me. Me and him have already become incompatible, but it was due to your father's consideration that you still haven't seen the blood. If you think about it, there are passages that you think are meant to be different from each other."

"Whatever happens between you and the ministers responsible for each of you, if there is a conflict of interest, you will really get caught up in the vortex of power relations. I guess the result of being distressed to exhaust it as much as possible is sequence immobility between brothers. I can't say it's top of the line, but I don't have any other good ideas because of the mood involved. Don't you feel a little at ease if your clumsy boss thinks of you as the best shown love for your body?

"Heh heh, so clumsy is parental giving. Oh, I think I got a thorn in my throat. Father had certain feelings for us. Then I will support my father and my brother's hegemony by doing what I can."

Shinxiao's expression was calm.

It seemed to Shizuko that her obsession with Nobuo, who had already been able to structure the conflict, would not go away so easily, but at least she would not be set up from Shinxiao's side.

("Boy, if I don't see you for three days, I'll scratch you," but if Shinxiao changes, so will the future of being offered an amputation? Around Odd, I'm going to tell you not to do anything extra, but Shinxiao came to me abruptly, and it seems like Shinxiao is painting behind me... you can't help it)

From Shizuko's point of view, Shinzhong sometimes showed a bare gesture of concern for Shinxiao.

Until now, Shizuko wondered if there was any psychological certainty among the brothers about the marks, but within dealing with Shinxiao, he was able to perceive Shinxiao's mood.

Nobunaga inherits Nobunaga's talents in color, for better or worse. He was clearly one piece inferior to Shinzhong because he was playing the pull of his legs due to his inability to control his mood.

If its obvious shortcomings were overcome, it had the potential to become a man of appeal unlike charism-type faithfulness.

Unlike centralized Nobunaga and Nobunaga, he makes a country close to Tokugawa Jiayang, so to speak, which understands Nobunaga and where the ministerial corps joins forces without supporting him.

Given which survived in historical fact, the rush of loyalty cannot be said to be exhaustive.

I would have liked to say one of the things that encouraged the growth of such an opponent would have been loyalty and complaining if I had known him as Shizuko like no other.

But because Shinjo himself likes those Shizuko personalities, it's just stupidity rather than complaining, and Shinjo can't doubt accepting his brother's growth with a bitter smile.

"With that said, would my brother be a breath disaster?

"When I saw you at the end of the year, you looked the same. I haven't seen you since the beginning of the year, but I think I'll see you tomorrow when I head up to greet you for the New Year. If you have any message, would you accept it?

"No, I don't mind if it's a breath disaster. I thought you knew Shizuko, until I asked."

"No, there are so many things I didn't know back in the day and don't know now that I used to imitate you."

"Is it true (Shizuko's impression of his brother is that of his sister against his handy brother. Can you take Shizuko from your father?

Knowing that Shinjo was about to be recognized by Shizuko, Shinjo decided to watch him in silence because he seemed amused, even though he felt sorry for the fact that he was being treated as if he was not in his eyes.

The next day, Nobunaga whined only one word when she heard from Shizuko about the upside with Shinxiao.

"Don't let the wind out of your sight."

Yes, Nobunaga looks grumpy at first sight, but there was a small grin in his mouth.
