Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era
Early September, 1756.
"Shall we sort out the situation first? Was the merchant who sold this glass pen arranging this from the beginning?
"No. I was selling a small glass product as a beach souvenir now. When I was looking at a souvenir for my parents, they showed me that I was paying well or that I had something special like this..."
"Sounds like you weren't selling it big time. The merchant had more than one glass pen?
"No, there's nothing else because it's one thing..."
"Hmm. If you believe a merchant, only one prototype could be brought up. But it's not like I haven't said the same thing to anyone else. Do you want me to break one bone for Lord Hideyoshi here? That's how much you owe me."
That said, Shizuko recognized the sentence when she took the brush. The contents are being taken out of the realm of a prototype glass pen that we are developing as a new specialty of Imahama.
Shizuko found it and retrieved it, but it could have been leaked outside, so she wants the workshop and the people involved to be washed in secret.
I will also write down that the glass pen that Shizuko obtained does not have the serial number engraved on it, and that it would probably be a prototype that was found to be a failure due to something wrong.
"Oh, yeah. Do you remember the merchant's face?
"Speaking of which, there was a big black child (mollusc) in the nostrils and a burn (burn) on the back of his hand."
"Oh, that's pretty distinctive. So, can you paint the faces as far as I can remember? I'll leave that to Lord Hideyoshi."
Shizuko returns the paper, the glass pen, and the ink kettle to the young girl, and causes her to make a human copybook.
More ideas while waiting for it. I'm just trying to plug a hole in one place against a pan that doesn't know how many holes there are at the moment.
It is necessary to determine the total number of holes by asking Hideyoshi to confirm that there is no leak outside. Furthermore, measures will be needed in the unlikely event that other items have been brought forward.
In other words, we have to abandon the route as a luxury piece of art and show them the way to make a profit in the direction of a pragmatic stiffness.
"Oh, you've done it already? You're early."
"Oh no! That's brilliant stuff. Feeling like some shady little villain."
The girl was praised for her satisfaction when she peered at the human copybook next to Shizuko. Even in modern times, a sketch highlighting features may be easier to find than an out-of-the-box photograph so that a sketch is made when searching for the killer.
Shizuko came up with a total with a satisfactory reaction and a view of the girl's speed of drawing and the high degree of application. Shizuko asks the girl as she scrolls (meshes) through the pages (pages) of the book she took away from the girl.
"Though this book is written in an unusual way, with the left opening and the letters horizontal, does this mean that the secrets were made harder to expose by making the opposite true while the general book is vertical with the right opening?
"Yes. You're right. By aligning the sizes of the letters and writing them as squarely as possible, I thought that reading them vertically would not make sense."
"What is your home doing?
"Ha... yes. We run a clothing merchant here. But please forgive my family..."
"Huh!? Oh, no, no. It's not, and it's too bad to let your talents bury you, why don't you make this your job? Think."
"Ha... ha..."
"Of course it's too novel for readers in the way it is, so I'd like the letters to be written vertically and then shaped like a scroll, can you?
A scroll is one of the Japanese painting models, and the "Painting Causal Sutra", considered the first scroll of the Nara period, is made today.
Continuous portrayal of scenes and stories on horizontal paper, alternating between pictures and their descriptive words.
Relatively close to the format of a girl's novel if it is a scroll model, and friendly for the public households.
Yes, Shizuko plotted to put it like a four-commerce comic strip on a piece of paper in the "Kyotsu Newsletter" issued by his father-in-law, Makio Kinei (Saki Hisa).
Of course this is what I just came up with, and it needs to be rooted out beforehand, but the provision of new entertainment as a public house read with minimal upbringing would be where he wants it too.
"Can I keep writing like this?
"The writing instrument will be a brush, not a glass pen, and the content will be moderate, but the format of the chronicles is fine. Of course it's your job, so I'm going to pay you what you deserve and ask your parents to accept that."
"Oh, no! It's awe-inspiring. There's no denying that your lord wants it, and I'll do it."
"You will be asked to provide manuscripts for books that are made for public houses in Kyo. It's not convenient if it's your real name at that time, so could you think of a brush name?
"Ha, yes!?
Abruptly, they mediate a place of employment, and during that time, they pack their stories. The girls stood up to each other and chewed up the information that pushed them like torrents.
"This glass pen, Master Hanzawa, seems to be treading that if you give it to him, he can sell it with foil on it, but maybe the thought will come off."
It is rare for you to say that you write your own words during the Warring States. Regardless of private objects, a person specializing in proxy writing, also known as a right pen, takes the pen if it is a public document.
It is even more groundbreaking as a tool, but if you look at it as a work of art, you can't really wipe the impression that taking the shape of a brush is shackled.
Likewise, they are inferior to glass containers called slices (chisels) of glass products because of their glamour.
Glass pens, on the other hand, are promising as a practical product. In addition to being as durable as being able to write up one book of considerable thickness in a single book, you can write letters much thinner than brushstrokes at a higher density.
If it is a practical product, it is also possible to anticipate a continuous demand by making the handlebar part wooden or the like and using only the tip replacement method.
Furthermore, a metal pen called an iron pen is used to cut the "Kyotsu Newsletter". It would also be possible to use the pre-gallip manuscript as a glass pen to make the gallip less laborious.
If you are open and visionary, you cannot overlook the usefulness of a glass pen. Whatever you say, if you take him in, you will definitely become a big customer.
"Well, there's definitely not in the world, so maybe you can sell a glass pen as a luxury item. I wish I was worried, but I've never been ready when things didn't work out, have I?
A glass pen that will be a tiger for Hideyoshi, but the important thing is to make a profit.
Even if the glass pen has already appeared in the world and can no longer be dedicated to the above, if sufficient profit is to be expected, some flaws (faults) will be meditated on.
"If your brush name sells, you can switch the stationery from the brush to the glass pen and sell the glass pen on paper and through your work. If it stops in the eyes of many people, that's all they want. Even for the merchants who advertise in the" Kyoto-Newsletter, "I wonder if it would bother you?
Shizuko's approach is called branding in the marketing field.
If you advertise in the mass media that a prominent writer loves it, the customer recognizes that if it's something that the writer uses, there shouldn't be hassle.
And the glass pen as a writing device is actually excellent. The circle begins that their credibility will further increase their visibility and create more credibility.
If their visibility increases, people will show up to buy their work in addition to a series of "Kyoto-Newsletters". That would make it easier for her to accept what she was supposed to be good at.
Because all the time, people's interests are focused on other people's erotic shakedowns and scandals.
"Cai, can you give her the room and the cost of her immediate activities?
"Ha, I understand"
"That's it. Can the other lady keep her mouth shut until I say I'm good?
The girl, who took the form of a complete entanglement, had no choice but to shake her neck vertically as she shrugged to the words of Shizuko.
When Shizuko called for his first name, he handed him an admitted secret letter and offered to deliver it to Hideyoshi in an early horse.
Without waiting for Hideyoshi's findings or to deal with them, Shizuko chose to proceed with the situation by turning the two arrows.
Perhaps the culprit who leaked the glass pen was only out of his mind, but the result was not just Hideyoshi's policy, which distorted the fate of one girl.
Wish was Shizuko, who wished her fate to be bright.
"... With that being said, there are reports that Uncle Satisfied is working on a product that sells amazing?
"Oh, you're a grilled chicken. I made a corner beer, and even if it's about grilled chicken, it won't be punishable?
Shizuko told me that she was satisfied and snorted at Eagle Deep Fried. Once more satisfied, Mitsuo was engaged in beer manufacture, but as the business grew in size, Teco put it in order to aim for further expansion.
The beer and edamame, cooled in river water during the hot summer months, obsessed the common people. But when I plug it into the autumn mouth and it gets cooler, I want a guttural and punchy knob.
So Satisfaction and the Killer Content devised by Mitsumomo's Drinker was Yakitori. Chicken farming is flourishing here in Ozhang, and meat from old chickens who have finished collecting eggs is very inexpensive and available.
The grilled chicken, whose meat was baked by applying a sauce made with the specialty of Ozhang: sugar and soy sauce, flavoured rice and liquor, became primarily the gospel of the workers.
For workers who finished their day of work, the burning fragrant smell of soy sauce and the dripping of fat roasted chicken were effective surface (tempestuous).
"You've narrowed down the manpower foot of road and water maintenance as your main target. They do have cash because they pay day, and they're hungry because they're engaged in manual labor."
"The beer you drink after sweating is exceptional. If there's a cheap, tasty knob there, why not not drink it?
Infrastructure is essential for economic revitalisation. As Japan regenerated by a major civil engineering project called "Archipelago Remodeling Theory" after World War II in historical fact, the infrastructure typical of roads gathers people, objects and gold to create a favourable cycle of demand and supply.
Though heavy machinery for civil engineering is beginning to be put into practical use, the protagonists of civil engineering are still humans and livestock, which will require a large number of personnel depending on their size.
Unlike machines, they eat rice instead of consuming fuel. Tools will wear out, clothes and dwellings will be needed.
In other words, workers can be employed for Shizuko, as well as customers. I just paid them some more money, and the money keeps turning if they can eat and drink with tails for that matter.
Satisfaction and Mitsuzuo are self-defense soldiers, so they grabbed exactly what their customers wanted to enrich the grilled chicken lineup.
'Chicken Meat' beaten and minced with cartilage and meat, wrapped around skewers and roasted. "Boonjiri", a very fatty area near the tail of a chicken, "Sand Liver", a sand sac (sanou) in the heart of a chicken that can only be provided because it is on the spot.
Other "liver skewers" or "leeks" that alternately stabbed momomo meat and leeks, no matter what you say, would be the ones you can't take off.
Workers will be fascinated by the wide variety of their products and the appearance of some kind of pass-through writing, which will be packed day after day.
At first, there was only one yakitori stall, but now there are several stalls that can be found on Yakitori Street.
"Sake is expensive anyway. I cheapened my beer to fit in their pockets, and I aimed for a thin profit, but the grilled chicken hit me harder than I imagined."
Nowadays, the sight of working workers mouthing beer and grilled chicken is even becoming recognized as a fall festival poem.
Since beer is served in ceramic containers and baked chicken is served with a bamboo skewer stabbed on top of a wood plate, it is also advantageous to have less debris.
"Thanks to you, we're making progress with the water supply. We still have to expand our tributary waterways, so it's important that we create an environment where people feel comfortable working."
Shizuko thought it was an ideal synergy. Maintaining roads and waterways creates jobs. If jobs are created, there will be increased demand for food for them to eat and drink, and local crops and livestock products will be sold and the people will be moisturized.
For its part, the exchangers planned further work with the funds recovered, and a flow of infrastructure was being created throughout Ozhang.
If roads are maintained, people/things move, and if waterways are maintained, fields are opened to fill their bellies. Earnings workers were also coming from other territories within Oda territory, and economic growth was growing to the right shoulder.
But saying that a lot of money will be collected also has a negative side. The open fields are to be sequentially checked and recorded, but deputies appear to try to mislead them.
If you look at it in person, you may mean to make a little penny, but if you miss this, you can't show the people who are seriously paying taxes.
"With that said, Seung-zo. I thought you went to check on the deputy who had rumours that you were misleading tax revenues.
Before Shizuko and Satisfaction spoke in, Keizai spoke to Changke, who had been out of hand.
"Yeah, because the guy who was a mole took the back. I've been a little convincing (...)"
Shizuko inquires after hearing the next conversation between Nagako and Kyung.
"Oh, yes, Katsuzo! I have some concerns about the report your troops have been submitting, but what persuasion have I given you? I know the new gun, but what did you use to take out the wildfire and its shells?
The lengthable pursued from the static child openly takes his gaze off and silences. That alone made me guess what persuasion I had.
"I won't bother you because you admit it, but I think you can only push."
"Ooh. You've come to me flashy because you're going to be punished."
At first, it was intended to punish only the deputy himself, but it became necessary to let the people of the heavens and the earth know that deluding taxes and fattening their private bellies amounted to biting Nobunaga.
So the chief commander led his armed men out to the mansion of the deputy, and when he took the deputy and his family and servants out into custody, he blew the mansion, which had become empty in front of them, with a cannon, into the wood (koh) end (pa) fine dust.
The manipulation of deputies who literally lost everything but their lives resulted in tightening the discipline, as Nobunaga's prospects (mortar) suggest.
"For your information, if you're Shizuko, how do you deal with people who don't respond to persuasion?
"Me? If you don't respond to persuasion, it's just a waste of time, right? Then you'll seize the money that goes to that person. I don't want you to pay back your wrongful gains, so make sure you pay for your sins."
"It's a food attack..."
Although it may seem moderate compared to a long-capable explosion, Shizuko's means will be a tragic one of tightening only deputies out of the circle of economic activity and isolating them completely from society.
There can't be a merchant who wants to trade with a lord for a murder warrant, so he has to make all the food he and his family need to live.
Nagako had no choice but to have a dry laugh at Shizuko's answer, which embodied "The Unable to Eat".
Shinji Mountain, which became the cemetery of Vitman and Barti, was named the Great Kamiya Mountain, and the company planned to be established on the summit of the mountain began to be built at the foot (foot).
Because the entire mountain is a restricted area, it is provisionally built in parts, like prefabricated architecture, and eventually disassembled, transported to the summit of the mountain and installed after stoning.
A prestigious palace carpenter waves (only) and (such), and a company that is not gorgeous, but strict, is assembled daily. Shizuko was being chased by paperwork even as she heard the hammer called Kankan.
Even though it has been significantly reduced in size than originally planned, it is because of the need to report directly to Nobunaga on the results of the first phase of the state project called Aichi Water.
Successive applications for new fields were submitted skinningly that water had been supplied to the main waterway, in a situation where it was said that estimates would only require how much production could be expected.
Therefore, based on the application made up to the end of last month, the expected stone height is being calculated, and the report is coming up to Shizuko.
When Shizuko compiles the report in consultation with the clerical method, she will take the documents and head to Yasushi.
Shizuko, who served as an anchor, settled into the separate mansion and took a break before taking a look at Nobunaga, who he refrained from two days later.
Two days passed while Shizuko was rushing to greet various places, and it was finally a day of admiration with Nobunaga.
Upon climbing to Antu Castle, he was guided to a moat (dust) near Nobunaga and passed directly to the tea room, not during a glance.
"I'm in a good mood for you."
"I don't need it on the front door. How long has it been? Sounds a little calm. Quickly, let's hear the results of the water that connects Mino to Ozheng."
Nobunaga, who blocked Shizuko from speaking, embarks on herself and packs her distance from Shizuko. Shizuko also spread the material over the tatami and began reporting at a distance poking her knees together.
"This will be more than the result of compiling your application by the end of last month. The current productivity is significantly inferior to that of the barn zone, but there is room for growth as the tributary waterway expands, and more migrants are expected as we set the tax rate low as a special development zone"
Shizuko reported to Nobunaga in an hour. At present, it is a sparsely populated Chita Peninsula, but if development proceeds, it is expected to be reborn into a land capable of feeding a large population.
If the Chita Peninsula, which was viewed as an extreme expression but barren land, turns into a barn zone, Ozhang will develop to a greater extent than it does now.
And Nobunaga had no intention of ending the Chita Peninsula in a mere barn zone.
As soon as we were able to ensure food productivity sufficient to support an adequate population, we had the idea of using the Chita Peninsula as a hub for industrial zones and heavy business policies.
Shizuko and Satisfaction's wave of industrialization has succeeded in dramatically extending Nobunaga's power.
Spinning to iron production, civil architecture and its scope of application to machine tools were wide, but they were also achieving results that could not be achieved by manpower.
The industrialization concept of the Chita Peninsula leaps forward with its location, which requires a natural port that is easy to reach the outer ocean because it faces Ise Bay, and the availability of large quantities of water, which is also essential for industry.
I'm looking forward to it in a few years.
The factory stood behind Nobunaga's brain, who murmured so much, that he seemed to see a port with shipyards and large docks and an outer ship floating there.
Since the conversation was quite overheated, Nobunaga offered Shizuko a cup of tea from his hand, and cut out the conversation again after each dose.
"Now, how are you going to attack Hojo in your incoming crusade to the East?
Best of all, Nobunaga threw down a statement that doubted his sanity if the others heard it.
Until then, speaking of the conquest of the East, we did not talk about not cleaning up Takeda first, and Hojo attacks and so on were still considered stories ahead.
However, Nobunaga talks about attacking Hojo as a matter of certainty, and Shizuko also takes it for granted.
Furthermore, it is unusual for Nobunaga to seek the opinions of others before expressing his opinions. If Hori or Akechi Mitsui were present on this occasion, it was enough to suspect Nobunaga's shadow fighters.
"Odawara Castle is a robust fortress. Because it's difficult to take a breath down, I thought it would be stone to nude the castle one by one."
"Well, it's roundabout, but it's solid. But how many castles have you dropped, and Odawara Castle alone will stand the equivalent of a cage castle?
"It's woven. With our army artillery, the tactics that we already call Cage Castle do not make sense. No matter how robust the stone walls are, if you shoot a few rounds, they will become rubble. But if you push the cannon forward and attack it from the start, Hojo could abandon the castle and flee to the sea. So even if we go far, we crush the castle, and we push it into a state where we can't escape, and then we attack it all at once, but we think it's a good idea."
"Sure. Until now, Takeda and Uesugi have never been able to attack Kitajo, a caged place in Odawara Castle."
"Of course, Takeda and Uesugi have taken command of the folds attacked by their former masters, Noriko Hojo (Ujiyasu), and there may be a difference in extraction from their current masters, Surname (Ujima). However, it is unlikely that even Takeda will follow a proven method of warfare that has left."
Odawara Castle boasts a vast area of land and encloses the interior, including the castle township, to cultivated land that feeds people living inside, and takes a structure called the soil base, which separates its surroundings from the open moat.
It is a so-called (so-called) castle city that is commonly seen in the West, continents, etc., but in Japan the surrounding area was protected by a natural barrier called the sea, and only to the point of counting interracial raids, and heavily armed cities with huge costs like castle cities did not develop.
In other words, the walls of the castle are essential to protect the inhabitants because raids by different ethnic groups are aimed at the control and control of the entire region, including the territories and territories, whereas disputes between the same ethnic groups become civil wars mainly due to political strife. For this reason, targets were inevitably limited to political enemies, and the inhabitants were often not taken until the lives of those who would be incorporated under the conqueror's rule.
However, Kamakura, Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and Odawara Castle reflect the times of a crowded war, or form a castle city with walls around it. The result was a design that could withstand a long period of cage castles, and neither Takeda nor Uesugi could be attacked in the time-limited context of the expedition.
The Hokujo army already knows the power of the Oda artillery, but it is unlikely that they think that the barrier is powerful enough not to be used because it was used against people in the plains.
"The tactics of Cage Castle are intended for reinforcements to come and be sandwiched from within and outside, or won by waiting for the limits of the attacker's ability to relay. Since our army is not an example and is an expedition in the Eastern Crusade, it is even possible to abandon the field and cage it from the beginning. Our army will take the branch castle that exists on the march route and use it as a relay base for the transportation of supplies, and will establish a supply line by sea in parallel."
"That's funny inside. Examples are likely to work to help with accurate artillery fire. But to this extent, I've already drawn up it."
With that said, Nobunaga presents a draft strategy from his nostalgia to show it. Although not depressed by fine figures or anything like that, the major muscle of letting Hojo cage and take down was unanimous.
"Then let's deliberately evacuate the defectors toward Odawara Castle when we drop the castle in order to make it more certain to choose a cage castle. You won't be able to take Hojo's tactic of abandoning the people being chased by the enemy."
"Because of the general structure for the protection of the inhabitants, if there are any inhabitants to be driven away, do we have to accept them? Well made as an impromptu, like passing first."
Everyone had no idea what the hell he had passed, but as far as Nobunaga was concerned, he decided that his expectations had been met.
But I don't know at what whim I imposed such an exam. Nobunaga reveals his inner mind even as he smiles bitterly about whether such a question was on his face.
"In this place, we are always victorious in the big picture, with all our local defeats. That's why so many ministers stick to the glory of the past, imposing exams on each of them, regardless of their score or new student."
"As far as you can tell, there are not so many ministers who have passed."
"Huh. Not even you are one hand away. We must always live 'now' and continue to seek ways to win a better 'tomorrow'. People can't live in the past."
"I certainly don't mention martial arts that stands out these days, so it's no wonder you're questioning your qualities from around the house."
"You don't mention martial arts, but you make your territory richer than anyone else. Many people can't see that it enriches everything in our realm. As soon as I got my inheritance, I think some people are slapping me in the shadows."
"If recreation is allowed, that's what we want."
"Then no. I told you before. You only leave me when your life crushes you."
Nobunaga and Shizuko don't really think about hiding, etc.
Although his weakness was shown in his breakup with his painful family, Vitman and Barti, he even wished for a vacation after taking over the business then.
Above all, Shizuko cannot abandon her current position. I guess it's what she really is. Once they are taken in (once), they are not easily abandoned.
"And without you, the world is boring."
"It is an honor for you to say so, but please keep in mind that your superiors are also around Yumei. The seat of the heavenly man is present, but things are those that have pitfalls in their closeness (...) just before things are done."
"Hmm. Are you telling me you're betraying me?
"Just kidding. I have no talent for kings. Because we have too much to win against the heavens in the first place."
"Fuck, I know. Those who seek betrayal do not behave suspiciously. But I want to see it. If you were a heavenly man, what kind of a world would you make? Whether I create a better world than you."
"Don't even joke about it. No one deserves to be a heavenly man."
"But it's absolutely impossible in this world. What would you do if I fell halfway down?
Shizuko replied to Nobunaga, who asked to look away somewhere, without putting her hair behind her.
"I will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening first. Still, if you can't help yourself, make sure to put the traitor's neck in front of the grave."
