Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era
Early May, one thousand five hundred sixty-nine.
After the meeting, Shizuko gave Soy Sauce, Stock Miso and Plum Dried as souvenirs for about a week.
Long before I knew it was the last trap, I received the souvenir given to me by Shizuko with my face broken.
It was this souvenir that was the venom of slowness, and I was stunned at myself for a long time before I could stand the cold, tasteless coarse meal after running out of souvenirs and counting and waiting for the next meeting.
Of the two demands presented by Shizuko, it was not the earlier uptake that weighed more.
The real purpose is the dissolution of the relationship between the illustrious eldest son of the XI Sovereign of Hondo Temple, Taoist, and Yuko (Yushi) of Mae Jiu.
The reason Shizuko intended this needs to unravel the history of the main temple.
Nobunaga's rival is a religious force called Ishiyama Honmoji Temple. The battle of Ishiyama, which spanned eleven years, was the biggest obstacle to inhibiting Nobunaga's Heavenly Bubu Wu.
The day the Ishiyama match in question began was September 12, the former Turtle New Year (1570).
The Ishiyama Honmoji Temple and the people who had always kept the day neutral at the border made the flag of the anti-Nobunaga clear.
Behind it was the former Kanbai and Kingsguard for a long time.
When the motion of the first Nobunaga siege net emerged in Kichi, Mae Jiu was asked by the three good people to persuade them to make a stand.
How Mae Jiu, a powerful man of the court, moved the prominence of the Shiyama Hondo Temple, which seemed unrelated to the power of Shisei.
We need to know what's behind the main temple first.
Honshoji succeeded in preaching the teachings of the protégé and gathering the support of the lower echelons of the people.
But then, Hondo Temple hits a big problem. Huge organizations, vast possessions and vast numbers of gatekeepers, and the power to protect them, were not in the temple at the time.
But it's not like there's no solution. If you get something, it will be possible.
It is the Guardian's Right of Immigration given by the court of morning.
A guardian angel is also known as a guardian.
This is an exercisable right for certain principalities and villas established by the Tabernacle, which, when certified, allows guardians (guardian daimyo) and guardian envoys (officials seconded by guardian daimyo) to refuse access even in the name of levying money or pursuing criminals.
Originally, the Guardian's Right of Immigration was set up when the Shogun of Kamakura was established to protect the possession of the court and temple shrine from patronage and terrestrial tyranny.
However, only in Kichiuchi did the movement to stop in the fields at the leading temple become more active. This is all a move aimed at tax exemption.
Thanks to this move, not only the "right of immortality", which can refuse taxes on the state, but also the "right of immortality", which can refuse the entry of messengers from outside the estate, began to emerge.
The spread of these rights led to the initiation of private control of the land and people of the temple forces.
In order to earn the Guardian's Inadmission Right, you need to become a Monkey Temple.
"Monsieur Temple" is a temple in which a prince or a native of the Pentagon holds a residence, and those temples were granted various privileges, including the right to guardian angel inaccessibility, by the Morning Court.
Naturally, the Sovereign of the Main Wish Temple is neither a prince nor a native of the Pentagon.
Normally, it is impossible to become a "Monseki Temple", but using a method called "Yuko" makes it possible.
Yuko is a system of tentative parent-child relationships with brothers, relatives, and other people's children.
Unlike adoptive children, it is easy to dissolve the relationship if the simulation element is strong and inconvenient.
As an example, let's take a look at the case of Ouchi's father-in-law.
The brother-in-law is born as the second son of Otomo Toyoko's 20th current lord and Otomo (Otomo) brother-in-law (Oki).
Yoshio Ouchi (Ouchi), who lost his successor in the battle between Mr. Niko and Mr. Ouchi, was asked to enter into a relationship with Yoko.
Later, however, Yoshihiko's righteousness was dissolved when Yoshihiro was born, and he is returning to Toyoko.
Regardless of this unilateral edge dissolution is said to have had a considerable impact on Kyushu Daimyo.
Even so, it was absolutely necessary for the Sovereign to connect Yuko (Yushi) with someone from the Pentecostal family.
Because if you can't be the Yoko of the Pentagon, you won't qualify for "Monseki Temple".
Therefore, in order to obtain the rear shield of the courtyard, the testimony of the Tenth Sovereign of the Main Wish Temple approached the Jiujo family, one of the five households, and became Yuko (Yushi) of the fifteenth contemporary and Jiujo Sangjing (Hisatsune).
His eldest son, Yuko (Yushi), is also the sixteenth contemporary of the Jiu-Jitsu family, Jiu-Jitsu (Lottery) Tong (Tae Michi).
By doing so, Honshoji Temple became the "Monseki Temple" and earned the "Guardianship Inadmission Right".
During the centenary of the IX Sovereign Truth and the XI Sovereign Distinction, the denominational power of the Temple of Hondo developed remarkably and gained the status of a major force of immense influence.
But it is also because there is a rear shield behind the court.
In other words, the religious forces that seemed to be on par with the Korean court were not, in fact, unrelated to the ruling system of the Korean court, but rather could not survive without subordination.
Let's get back to the Oda family.
Time flies and two weeks have passed since the earlier talks, and today Shizuko was having another meeting with Kimbai Mae Ku.
Although I have been unable to feel as hostile or alert as I had been for a long time now, I have not been able to build enough trust to unconditionally accept Shizuko's request.
Nevertheless, it had shown definite progress, such as abolishing poisonous opinions during meetings and meals.
After sipping a sigh of plum kobu tea after the meal, which became a favorite long before the earlier talks, Makku cut to the point.
"Well, there's something I'd like to confirm before I respond to your last request."
At the same time as I finish saying it, I change my face a long time ago. It wasn't long before there was a gap where I was sipping tea to that effect.
During the period of unrest, he was Minister Kanbai Left and Minister of the Interior, and there was a masterpiece who had actually served as Kanbai for fourteen years in the world of the Korean court, where he traveled.
Shizuko, whose heart was eagled just relative and nearly crushed by heavy pressure, bites her back teeth and withstands out in temper.
"I want you to answer, Lord Shizuko. What good would it do me to agree with your story?"
Unlike last time, Shizuko's name was spoken for a long time. Shizuko understood the meaning of it so badly that she didn't like it.
At the same time that Shizuko admitted to being a single person, whether she was a woman or a child, she did not do anything about it for a long time.
"Before answering Kingsguard's question, this meeting is my discretion and I am not receiving the intention of my Lord, Bullet Chung Oda"
Shizuko's arbitrary behavior, which would be taken as' rebellious mind 'if she did poorly, but she had to make this meeting a success, even with her life at stake.
"Again, I see Kingsguard's desire is to eliminate the public and the two Kingsguards"
"Ho...... no, I don't do belly art. Indeed, my hope is that Lord Shizuko is right. But Oda was raised with the official lord. I don't think that Oda would be more cooperative in eliminating the official lord?
"I don't think my Lord will ever serve a fool who dresses up innocent sins and banishes his masterpieces and the famous Kingsguard"
"Ha ha, Lord Shizuko is not reluctant"
"I'm going to tell you the truth, so let me be honest with you about my public opinion."
"Well, you did... well, let's agree with Lord Shizuko's story"
Unexpectedly and lightly, Akira uttered words of recognition.
Shizuko, who hears the words, is about to lose her strength from her body by accident.
"However, let us drink the impotence that Lord Shizuko deserves."
I get in the mood for my body again for what I said a long time ago.
The match of interests between Shizuko and Nobunaga, which Shizuko spoke of, is a theory of results and cannot be a benefit offered as a consideration.
To move on to the Oda faction and dissolve Yoko's relationship with the Church, such as (kijo), there can be no matching if he doesn't have the corresponding one in his hands.
"Right...... Hmm, someone I know has leg disease (kick-ass) (about foot chills). There is no prospect of recovery even though I have exhausted my hands to the extent of the pharmacist's fried potion and prayer for addiction, and I would like the Lord Shizuko to cure me."
"Oh, that's impotent about anything!
Nagaji reacts as soon as possible to the previous words.
Foot qi was still treated with difficulty after vitamin B1 was discovered, leaving many dead until late 1950.
Moreover, this is the story of the Showa period, which, if it is a warring age, is the treatment of incurable diseases. In other words, a long-standing demand becomes an impossible challenge to make impossible.
"The resolution of Yuko, Lord Shizuko said, is so difficult. If we don't let the corresponding impotence pass, then we can't make a match. Well, let's hear back from Shizuko."
"No problem. To that extent (…), it would be cheap if Kingsguard could help us."
"Ho ho, he said he was confident he could cure leg disease. Excuse me, but does Lord Shizuko know what leg disease is?"
"First, loss of appetite, general tiredness. Then palpitations, shortness of breath, paralysis of the senses, numbness or swelling of the feet. If you go any further, you won't be able to help your hands and feet to sleep. At the end of the day, you come to your heart with an anomaly, and you die."
"... Exactly. And many people suffer from leg disease and die. Conversely, very few humans have recovered from the disease. You still think you can fix it?"
"Yeah, my answer doesn't change"
"Let's be good. Then, at dawn when leg disease has healed, I will make sure to take my side with the Oda family. But if it doesn't heal, you'll be prepared to do the right thing."
Long before threatening to complain, Shizuko said this with a small grin without changing her expression.
"No problem with the commission"
The last meeting between Shizuko, who showed a wave, and Makoto Kinei was about two short hours, but it forced Nagaji and Colour, who had refrained beside him, to be nervous enough to be felt in half a day.
Without clearing the day from the talks, Mae Ku brought the leggy patient to Gifu. Shizuko could not hide her surprise at the good stepping stone as if she had been ready for the talks.
Just in case, Shizuko decided to see the patient.
After checking the knee tendon (shingle) reflexes at the gavel that examined the tendon reflexes from the brief examination, the typical symptoms of leg qi common in the public house could still be confirmed, as can be seen around the area.
A factor in leg qi is vitamin B1 deficiency, and the treatment is simple and lucid.
You should just give me vitamin B1. Shizuko therefore spoke of the following treatment policy a long time ago:
"There are three instructions from me. One, eating three times a day. One, always three hemp fruits per meal, soaked radish and turnip leaves, drinking overnight. Freedom except for one or three meals. If you protect the above, your symptoms will be visibly improved within ten days."
Long before I had the perception that I was dying when it came to legs, I was told too uncomfortably, and I also wondered if I was conspiring with a way not to drink medicinal water.
But even through the eyes of a long time ago, Shizuko was very serious, and I could feel the certainty that it could be fully cured.
In the end, Shizuko was given food therapy (Shizuko) as instructed by Shizuko.
Seven days after starting the treatment, I received an offer from the side of the meeting earlier than planned.
In response to an immediate acknowledgement, Shizuko took to Gifu's separate residence.
I ran a horse over my chest speculating it was a patient comfort report. The expectations were centered, but unexpected extras followed.
"Let me report the results first. As a result of doing as Lord Shizuko instructed, my leg sickness friend felt comfortable as a lie a few days ago."
"Really? That was good."
"As promised, I will leave Hondo Temple in Ishiyama and do my best as a faction of Lord Oda. Let's also dissolve Yuko's relationship with Shizuko in a way that doesn't annoy her."
"Thank you"
"But Lord Shizuko has two requests, and I have only one through impotence. Let me make another demand."
"If it's possible for me, I don't care what you do."
"Ha, you were feeling a little threatened. The second impotence is to have a seat to meet with Oda and play directly to Oda."
"What? Yes. Um, it takes time because I need to talk to the hall. You will often get the date, will you?"
"Right. If Shizuko has no problem, I'd like to rent it to this house until my meeting with Oda?
"Uh... but what can I say, this house is small, isn't it?
Originally, Shizuko's apartment was not built to live in, but only to sleep when she could not return to her tail.
Therefore, there is a minimal living environment, but there is not enough facilities for the Duke to live in.
Shizuko thought it was not very good, but not good enough, for Kingsguard owners to live in.
"I don't mind. I really like the gardens, which are constantly watching. And lately, I don't think about it, and I just want a moment to stay."
"That would be fine..."
First, we succeeded in bringing the Kingsguard family, the purpose of Shizuko, into the Oda camp, and in dissolving the Yuko relationship between Mae Ku and Shiru.
There will be a persuasion effort on the part of the Hondo Temple, but it is also inconceivable that he will renege on his promise.
(I wonder if this has halved the task of weakening the cohesion of the anti-Oda coalition. In any case, the axis of the anti-Oda coalition is not the main temple, but the Kingsguard principals' Kingsguard Mae Ku...)
Yishao, Asakura, Asai, Honmeiji Temple, Yonjinji Temple, Takeda, and various other forces, large and small, join forces and greatly afflict Nobunaga, "Nobunaga Siege Network," which makes Honmeiji Temple look like a spindle but not really.
The decision of the moderates to march prominently, as well as the opening of the Ishiyama Honjinji Temple eleven years later, was heavily involved in the previous period.
At first, Yishao, who overconfidently believed in his power and banished him from the Korean court for a long time, later, when his relationship with Nobunaga became worse, it was painfully clear that he could not constitute an anti-Nobunaga coalition without the help of the former.
In other words, if Yoshiaki is to persuade him to stand out, it is absolutely essential that the Korean court, of course, have ties and connections to many people and temples, and that the power of the Pentagon's leading Kingsguard retain tremendous influence.
(The only thing left is to take in Koga. The innkeeper has a group of ninjas to talk about (today) independently, but I want Koga. Oh, you can't Iga. It's controlled by the Igami Shinobi family over there, and they won't easily receive espionage... but we need to stop the carnage of their stupid son)
In the sixth year of Tianzheng (1578), when the relationship between Iga, Koga and the Oda family began to deteriorate, there was a so-called "Tianzheng Iga riot" in which Nobuo Oda, the second son of Nobunaga, led an arbitrary invasion of Iga by a large army called Eight Thousand.
At this time, however, Iga carried out what we now call guerrilla activities, and Shinko's army was devastated by just a few hundred Iga Ninja troops. Nobuo himself escaped with a crawling body.
It should be noted that in the honor of the warlords of the Nobuo Army, the original invasion of Iga by Nobuo was such a reckless operation that his surroundings were desperate and he had advanced to change his mind.
For this reason, military morale was low and control was completely lost before the invasion. In an army in such a state, even if it were not Iga, it would have easily been destroyed.
Nobunaga was furious at the scattered results, such as the reduction of six thousand from eight thousand soldiers without mentioning any achievements, and the takeover of the heavier minister, Shinobu.
But this increased Nobunaga's vigilance against Shinobu, and a few years later, the Oda Army put in all its troops and invaded Iga, "The Second Tianzheng Iga Unrest". The general at this time is also Nobuo.
Nobuo cleared up the resentment of "The First Tianzheng Iga Unrest," but killed all young and old alike in the fallen temple and inside.
In a later world, Nobunaga is said to have slaughtered Iga's ninja, but in fact, his stupid son and the famous Nobuo just killed them all from one end.
"(Well, let's think about that after the Ise invasion. Though I am a little anxious about Kingsguard's trend... it would be better not to follow him and send out snakes) Then this house will be presented to Kingsguard. Please, use whatever you like."
Shizuko pulled out of her shoulders to see a certain achievement, even though she didn't think she'd lose her mind until the end.
Nobunaga, who stood at the sight of Erjo Castle, entrusted Mitsuyuki with the task of returning to Gifu with a human being other than that.
Shortly before returning home, he talked to Yoshiaki about Ise. Yoshiaki also shows difficulty in the battle against Kitatsuji, who dominates South Ise on boulders.
In any case, Mr. Kitami comes from the public house, has a higher rank of subordinate third place than the general, and is also entrusted with Kuanzhong Delivery.
In other words, Yoshiaki recognizes Mr. Kitamachi as part of his support for the Muromachi Shogun. Likewise, there was no way to admit to the battle against Nobunaga, a member who supported the Muromachi Shogun.
Nevertheless, from Yoshio's point of view, I can't even say no to Nobunaga's story without saying no. Yoshiaki haunts her head about what to do.
Nobunaga, who felt enough to see the divine reaction, but recognised that this was unexpectedly cumbersome.
Nobunaga used persuasion and rhetoric to attach a promise from Yoshiaki that if no settlement of the war was reached by the end of this year, he would mediate and reconcile Yoshiaki, or else allow Ise-kuo to stabilize.
Nobunaga, who obtained a de facto immunity, was thought to immediately embark on Ise-kuo peace, but remained silent against expectations around him.
I didn't try to move from Gifu, I just labored my men and worked out.
With instant summary judgment as a creed, nations were uniformly forced into tension by the silence of Nobunaga, who acted like an electric petroleum stone fire.
As a matter of fact, stockpiles of munitions fell below the prescribed quantity, so he was only refraining from marching to consume supplies more intensely.
He decided that it was better to thoroughly gather information and ask for opportunities than to push armaments to invade Ise in unsatisfactory circumstances.
Its reserves are also laid throughout Ozhang and Mino with the "One in Three" policy, so a huge amount can be obtained from September to October.
Nobunaga was therefore unwilling to move until late August, when the estimated yield could be calculated. And even if we invaded from September, we had a chance to stabilize Ise.
Returning to Gifu, Nobunaga quickly summoned Shizuko and tried to explore the purpose of his talks with Mae Kim.
"Let's reveal a woman's secrets and do something very unclean."
But it was the princess who waited for it.
"Are you telling me to leave you alone?
"Until now, Shizuko was bound to proceed through the hall. This time, I went on to talk to you arbitrarily because I decided it would be in your interest not to let you through."
"... ha"
After a grand sigh, Nobunaga lowers his back roughly.
"Phew, are you angry that you're out of company?
"Well. Still, I didn't expect to pull the Kingsguard into my camp... I'm still amazed at Shizuko's talent"
"Yeah, she's still a girl (stomach) who entertains me with her out-of-the-box behavior, Shizuko. Now, Lord Kingsguard, who drew such a static child in, has offered to speak to His Holiness... How do you respond?
"Needless to say. Shizuko's seat seems to be abandoned here."
Preparations for the talks were made immediately.
Two days later, Nobunaga headed to Shizuko's separate residence. I didn't have a problem with my residence, but I remembered that I had never seen Shizuko's apartment, and this is how I got to my feet.
"The first thing you see, Bullet Chung Oda"
Long before Kingsguard, one of the most powerful men of the Korean court and head of the Pentagon Kingsguard. Nobunaga Oda, the man closest to the Heavenly One who holds the real power of Kyo.
The only two bugs that were present at the moment of their encounter, arguably a turning point in history, were those that twisted around the garden.
For a while, the two stared silently, but as they decided to, the previous time opened their mouths.
"Well, it won't start if it's ever matched. Let's go for a cup of tea."
"... let's have it"
"You don't have to wear your shoulder elbows. This is fried tea, not tea water. Regardless of the format, let's have a cup of tea and have a chat."
……
"And taught by Lord Shizuko. This is good inside. Recently, we've been watching the garden and drinking tea."
As I said a long time ago, his method was completely different from the tea water Nobunaga had learned in Kyo.
But I felt a different elegance than tea water, and Nobunaga found this interesting.
"A strange woman, Lord Shizuko."
"Right. Sometimes I'm surprised too."
Upon receiving the offered tea, Nobunaga sipped the tea without hesitation.
"Delicious. Tea tastes different than tea in tea water."
"Pfft, let's have some naturals. At first I thought it was something to serve demonic tea, but now I'm looking forward to a cup in the cool."
That said, I'll have a sip of tea a long time ago.
Then there was no special conversation. Just a cup of tea for the garden, that was all.
But the air that engulfed them was clear, and there was silence in which none could stand.
"Now let's get to the point. I am allowed to demand one more thing from Lord Shizuko. And I ask your permission, Oda."
"One more thing? What's the first thing?"
"Lord Shizuko asked me to cooperate with the Oda family. Instead, I hope to cure my friend's leg disease, and you've already fulfilled it."
"That liar..."
Leg disease is treated as incurable, but Nobunaga tells and hears more about the pathogenesis from how it works to the cure than Shizuko.
I used that advantage and thought about taking in a public house with a lot of leg disease. But Shizuko used the secret card in a meeting with Kimchi.
At the age of nineteen, Toshiyuki was entrusted to Kanbai. Approximate consideration will have been given to what would be good for the foot.
(Having acquired the power of the Kingsguard, can that lapse be offset?)
"Another wish of Lord Shizuko is with the dissolution of the relationship between His Holiness the Church and Yoko, which we shall move in the near future. And I'd like to make a wish for you."
Long before he had a refreshing smile, he said something absurd on his expression and back.
"I want to connect Shizuko with Yoko."
Shizuko enters into a tentative parent-child relationship with Kingsguardian Principal. For Nobunaga, it was also supposed to be a blue sky thunderbolt.
If Shizuko had become Yoko before Kingsguard, Nobunaga could not even imagine how far the impact would extend.
I guess I perceived his mood from how Nobunaga was doing. This is what I said a long time ago when I exhaled small.
"Don't worry. I haven't even told Lord Shizuko this yet. And if Lord Shizuko says no, so be it."
"The Kingsguard seems to buy Shizuko very high."
"Let's see. While I was a woman who had never been in the world, I did not take a step forward and passed where I wanted to be. It's not something I can do."
So I put my breath down and drank all the tea I had left for a long time.
After exhaling gently, he continued his words.
"If Lord Oda continues on the path of Heavenly Unity, Soon Lord Shizuko will occupy an important position"
"He doesn't appear to like to hide behind and plot things."
"Ha, you will. But sooner or later she has to be on the table. By someone's hand, not. The existence of turmoil stops her from hiding behind. The day will come when the times will need her and will necessarily stand on the tabular stage"
"No way... Yoko for that"
"I see. It would be inconvenient for a mere woman when she came out into the world. My Yoko will have a lot of foil."
For Nobunaga, it wasn't about where the foil came on.
"... it will certainly foil. But I want to specify here when to tie Yuko."
"I'll take care of it. Measures to protect Lord Shizuko over his ex. Declare it when your father, Lord Oda, thinks it's good. By then, I'll have a firm position in the courtroom."
"It's..."
"Lord Oda's dream will be to unify under heaven. Then, sooner or later, there will come a time when the present Kanbai Hall and the Public Hall will be in the way. Otherwise, the hegemony cannot be exchanged."
"Well, that's true."
Nobunaga smiled joyfully at what she had left undressed in her previous teeth.
The two then realized that there was a common topic of eagle hunting, and talked to each other until just before the sun set.
Mid June.
The study of power transmission mechanisms such as gears and cranks proceeded well, and the prospect of mass production stood in front of the summer platter while gradually (like) maintaining a certain quality.
The coveted waterwheel powered automatic washing machine (hereinafter abbreviated as the waterwheel washing machine) of the ladies of the technical district cleared the aforementioned power transmission problem and was put together as a standardized product.
I'm currently running a prototype. Wherever water wheel power can be obtained by completing the durability test, water wheel washing machines can be installed anywhere.
Because the mucrodile powder used as a detergent is very biodegradable, it is unlikely to cause serious water contamination when laundry drainage is flown into the river.
That said, due to the fact that it cannot be absolute, and because of the fish toxicity (which fish consume and bioconcentrate to be toxic), due care should be taken in handling drainage water.
The brewing district has also begun to migrate from various brewing establishments, as well as from people whose long houses are completed and ready for artisans to live in.
The management of the city also has the know-how of the technical district, so it started smoothly without any particular problems.
Manufacture anything that involves fermentation, including typical Japanese seasonings such as rice vinegar, salted koji, mirin, miso, soy sauce, sake and sake, including shochu.
Of course, there is not only one technical or brewing district. Nobunaga plans to build such a city everywhere in the future.
Although the methods of decentralized management and centralized management are long and short, Nobunaga chose decentralized management even at the risk of technological leakage.
Although the spread of production bases doubled the risk of administrative costs and technological leakage, the decentralization weighed on the availability of alternatives elsewhere, without interruption of technology and production, even if the bases collapsed in disasters and wars.
The fact that each production base can complement each other also has the advantage of making it impossible for other countries to determine the deadly steeple point to attack.
Salaries are important munitions, as well as essential commodities for the manufacture of miso and soy sauce.
As a result of efforts to increase production of this, the size of the downstream salt fields and the villages in charge of production also increased, resulting in an exceptional increase in circulation.
Inward inflows into the market at one time exceeded demand, causing a price disruption of salt.
Demand was only low because it was originally expensive, and the only potential demand is the number of people.
Soon demand was dug up commensurate with the volume of supply, and prices gradually stabilized.
Now salt was not a precious commodity only for Ozhang and Mino, but a condiment that even ordinary people could easily obtain.
As the production base expanded, crops, salt, brews and industrial products were brought to Shizuko as a thank you for the technical guidance provided by Shizuko.
It was also purely a thank you for the instruction, but it also meant showing proficiency in the teacher that we are now able to produce things up to this point.
That said, since it was only Shizuko who received it, a huge amount of supplies would be collected, and a rapid increase in the collection of supplies would be built.
"... it's hard not to, but it's hard not to have too many."
There was no way that I could consume hundreds of kilos of salt on my own, and after making various preserved foods, I decided to stockpile the excess as a Nobunaga armament.
During the Warring States, the boundaries between bribery and gratuity, known as gratuities and gifts, were subtle.
It was only after the Edo period, when unified power was used to treat gratuities as bribes and strictly forbidden.
In other words, even if agrarian reforms were carried out at the convenience of those in power, it was natural courtesy and ethics for the rural side to give gratuities if it benefited from them.
But among the massive gifts that could be delivered to her was also a mixture of objects containing intentions other than gratitude.
Supplies that cannot be consumed solely by Taizhang will naturally be distributed to all of Japan via merchants.
It was easy to know that there were core tissues that provided technical guidance, even if it could not be traced to Shizuko herself if she was a slightly more conspicuous person.
Then also comes out those who crave information and let merchants in and out mediate beneath their sleeves and cares.
The disproportionately expensive goods that reached Shizuko were apparent in their intention to find a source of sweet juice.
"This is a spy. I wonder if it's espionage until we let people through."
The Warring States era is meritocracy without having to talk about it, a time when sweat and strength alone can be made up regardless of faction, blood muscle, etc.
And humans with some talent are often pulled from elsewhere.
That was no exception even for Shizuko, who led the reform of Ozawa and Mino's farmland by Nobunaga.
"You just said you were a credit for showing so much talent to the rest of us."
A strange circle who read the sentence that accompanied the gift delivered groaned so bitterly.
"Hmm. The Oda family, not only Shizuko, but also the heavenly champions, were seen lightly when they went down to the military gate without a head."
Chang Ke hung his eyebrows and looked disgusted.
A blank bill that shows no basis whatsoever and promises more than the Oda family benefits if you come to my place.
I don't like the increase and slowness that I can freely do static with this piece of paper.
"Still, I wonder if you don't know that this kind of workmanship is pointless. But the merchants who brokered it should not return it because it would smash the other party's face."
"Hmm. How do we clean it up? I'm not saying this, but I'm interested in how to handle it."
"I'm not interested in tea utensils, so I guess I should give them to the innkeeper with the sentence. I don't need any hardware, so why don't you give this to the innkeeper and return it to someone who was meritorious at the Oda Army Argument Awards? It's not healthy to keep accumulating money at my place."
For Shizuko, who does not unduly seek power or gold, tea utensils are an excess in her hands. I don't have a taste in collecting tea tools, and most importantly, I don't feel superior to having a well-known tea utensil.
And Tea Yu is deeply involved in politics, and she knows that Nobunaga skillfully uses it as a power production device.
Therefore, tea water, which threatens to get too close to power, can only feel dangerous to Shizuko.
"In the first place, where I have just fallen out, the reform of the hall is coming to an unstoppable stage."
"Ho, that's an interesting story."
"Nothing is difficult. Even if I'm gone, I'm making sure the reform mechanism moves forward. Now that the mechanism has been built, there will be stagnation even if I fall out, but in the long run, it won't have much impact. Well, that's why I'm not going anywhere else."
When carrying out the agricultural reform, Shizuko thought that a system that would not be built without her would be the most dangerous.
Because if your load exceeds the tolerance or breaks your body, everything stops.
Therefore, I can also say that I put my heart and soul into building a system that works fine without me.
"I don't know. That means you're gonna get dumped someday?
If you're not comfortable with Shizuko's thoughts, put your arms together and Nagako squeals.
"It's no different anywhere, but people who jump through and pioneer than others are always at risk for their lives. I don't want someone else to kill me because I'm a coward, do I? Then it's less dangerous to pull yourself back after you've made some way."
"I don't think you need to worry about the jealousy of such a fool. It's like saying to yourself that there's no value in being someone else's jealousy."
"As I said earlier, I'm a realist coward. I can't be optimistic enough to live with malice from others for granted. If only my place had a good harvest, one day they would be jealous and raided around me. That's why we increased the productivity of all of Ozhang and Mino. We don't seek power to avoid political factional strife. When it comes to peace with it, I don't want to get caught up in it either, because surely the martial officers and the civilians fight for power. I want to spend the rest of my quiet life, so please don't fight for power."
"Well, whatever you think, the Oda family needs you. Wouldn't it be so easy to visit the quiet rest of your life?"
"That's what I say about women, but it's better not to give excessive power to women who are more likely to prioritize emotions. It just prioritizes emotions, so my mother can be the devil's brake for my child. A woman is weak, and my mother is strong, and she has so many words."
"Women are weak, but my mother is strong" is the language of Victor Hugo, a politician and French-Romanist poet and novelist from the July reign.
Even women who look weak, the presence of a mother means how they can be stronger to protect their children.
"Surely if you unravel Tang's history, there are a number of dynasties that perished under the negative influence of women. No, I'm not saying Shizuko is, but should we be careful about that?"
"I don't care about anything. Besides, I don't know when I'm going to prioritize emotion over theory either. So as insurance, we need to make sure someone can stop it. Well, that's the hotel now."
"I see. Does that mean you're not going anywhere else because your insurance doesn't work and you might get assassinated?"
"I wonder if that's one of the reasons."
"I don't know anything as difficult as politics. I don't know, but I regret that you can't admit it."
"Pfft, thanks."
Shizuko, happy with Nagako's words, almost caressed Nagako's head unexpectedly, but stopped her hand at the soot.
He wants to get back to work early and grow up. Because I thought it was bad to treat him like that as a child.
"Well, don't line up your favorites. Simply put, because I like it here. This is like my second home."
To Shizuko, who said so with a smile, they nodded with a somewhat happy, yet satisfied look.
Nobunaga was visiting the technical district for a second time.
What has changed visibly since before is that the vertical pier screw stop method, which is the roof tile construction method, has become somewhat shaped.
Wooden lathes have been completed. Automatic washing machine completed. The results of research on gears and cranks are what I saw in the day.
"Oh! Is this the 'lathe'! What an odd shape, but how many craftsmen can you omit to work with this one!
Nobunaga praises the demonstration that took place in front of him with his cheeks loose. Somehow, the dressed cornucopia quickly turned into a uniform thickness stick.
Nobunaga cannot contain his excitement at the flow of processing he has never seen or heard before.
He wielded the machined bars and grabbed the sphere and rolled it all over to check the smoothness of the sphere.
"(Awesome shabby...) Oh, I'm sorry to entertain that hall, but it's dangerous for boulders when you roll at your feet..."
"Oh, excuse me. I didn't know the square end material would be such a stunning ball in a short time... I just wanted to see how round it was."
"(I hope you don't roll it where people are at. Craftsmen are frightened in a different way) Cohon, 'lathe' performance is as you can see. Depending on how you use it, the workmanship that artisans have been finishing for a long time can be finished as a product with the same accuracy in a short time."
"Um, I was surprised because I was going to process that hemp thread, but this time it was more than that."
That's what Shizuko thinks back. When Nobunaga inspected the Schlichten peeler.
Nobunaga was also manipulated with joyful surfaces at that time. Shizuko somehow understands that there are few horse crowds accompanying this inspection in order not to be seen.
"You're a Schlichten peeler. Since it takes time to manufacture consumable parts, only six units are still in operation. But even six units have different digits of productivity. If you calculate twelve spinning machines for silk threads as one pair, there are nine pairs."
"Surely you said something that cannot be made of silk thread is serious. The duvet I made with that is really good"
Shizuko produces a lot of silk yarn, but not all silkworms produce raw yarn. I can also do silkworm cocoons that don't reach the quality of raw yarn.
Therefore, it was decided to collect low-quality cocoons and process them to produce cotton. Because the cotton is white, shiny, and soft and insulating, it is excellent as a material to pack inside a duvet.
It should be noted that silkworm farming in medieval Japan exclusively meant production of cotton. Mainly because all the silk yarn imported from China was held up, the technology of spinning raw yarn into silk yarn in the country was lost.
"There is still room for improvement on gears and cranks. By applying these mechanisms, we have created a machine to manufacture golden flat sugar. Although the consumption of brown sugar is intense, we managed to complete the prototype of golden flat sugar."
"Is this the golden flat sugar? Hmm, a little different from the contribution of the Accompanying Leagues, but this is also tasty. Heh heh, the amazing faces of the congenitals come to my attention."
(Make golden flat sugar for that, you didn't say that, did you?
Enchanted by the potential of golden flavour sugar (nutritional value, preservation, transportability, of course), Nobunaga quickly ordered Shizuko to manufacture it. Golden flat sugar recipes are not so difficult that they can be manufactured individually even in the Edo period.
The task is to test the patience of repeating the process of cooling when the core material is hung with extended hot honey.
Gears and cranks were needed to reduce work around it. However, that still does not change the harshness of calling it working long hours in high heat environments.
"I will conclude my explanation with this. If you don't have any questions, we'll take you to the dining room."
"I'm sure you were preparing a piece of food called Paon from Nanban."
"Yes, it will be the staple food in Europe. There is also another staple food called potatoes, but I don't think this one has a mass production system in place and will be in the mouth of folk grass after next year"
"The more ingredients we have, the richer our country will be. Give priority to putting in place a spare mass production system."
The new crops are gradually increasing their production base and entering the mass production system, but they still fail to provide sufficient quantities of seedlings for all production sites in about a year, and there are also bases that are producing alternative crops.
After next year, it will be provided to neighboring villages, where it will be distributed to "one of three groups of cities" if there are no problems. If we get that far on track, we can produce it all at once.
"" One in Three Cities "is also doing well. Already Ozhang and Mino will not allow other countries to follow suit. The lack of food insecurity also led to less dissatisfaction from the people. To be honest, I didn't think the lack of food would work this well."
"If it's an indispensable environment for tomorrow's meal, the people will meditate on some things..."
"Cao Mengde secured enough food for the people to secure the armament he could march on. I'll use that method too."
"So..."
Nobunaga nods small before continuing his words.
"History has proven that if we buy up for the march, security will deteriorate. It doesn't accumulate when your feet sway during the march. It is in a better condition to feed the people than is always possible under the guidance of other countries."
"I also think that food is most effective in food and clothing"
"That's not all"
"Wapu."
Nobunaga strokes Shizuko's head. All of a sudden, Shizuko was left.
Her hairstyle made her feel delightful, but Nobunaga doesn't mind continuing the words.
"I've always thought that meals are work to live by. But the dishes you make will entertain my eyes, will entertain the fragrance, will entertain the texture and will entertain the taste. Now I know why you're so keen on eating... you're a big guy. You always show me all kinds of possibilities."
Then for a while, Shizuko continued to stroke her head by Nobunaga.
Nobunaga visited the brewing district following the technical district.
This one was accompanied not only by Nobunaga and Shizuko, but also by the ministers who were the Lord, the Celebrations and Talents, the horse mob of Shizuko, and the previous time of the Kingsguardian Emperor.
The highlight of this tour of the brewery is liquor, which is also sake.
During the Warring States, liquor was basically turbid, and the production of liquor was largely monopolized by temple forces.
I don't know exactly the beginning of sake. According to one theory, Katsuan Yamanaka of Regent Hongchi began making sake with ash in turbidity.
Other than that, however, it is not clear from when he switched from turbidity to sake, as methods close to modern sake production are recorded in the "Journal of sake" and "Polyclosed diary".
Alcohol enriches life beyond mere preferences.
Shizuko, who knows the history of liquor that is passed down pulsationally, gathered Mr. Doo (Together), who is not retired from active duty or surrounded by a temple, to teach him how to make modern sake.
The Sake method required more work than turbidity, and Doo et al. were half-hearted.
But when it was said that the clear water tasted like liquor that no one could make, I had to challenge him as an expert on the road.
Basically, 90% of the sake manufacturing process ends around the rainy season from the cold, but there is storage in the last process, which may take two months or three years.
The type and condition of alcohol varies around here.
This time, the sake I purchased was luxuriously shredded from the selected Oozhang rice, making it a book-brewed sake that actually shredded 40% of the outside.
It was the first unveiling of a barrel (six months old) that took about six months to repeat the prototype and ensure as much quality as it could provide to Nobunaga.
"Well, let's go with the first swallow."
To test the liquor, it is called "swallowing up" the tank. This is done every month from June, when the first swallow is done, until the autumn when it is shipped.
Sake was made all year round until around mid-Edo. Shizuko's brewing district is no exception, and although it is turbid, it has been brewed almost all year.
The target of this first swallow is sake made from "cold", which can be of excellent quality.
It is transferred from a large barrel for planting to a single dozen barrels prepared for this first swallowing.
When the aromatic fragrance emitted by the sake filled the area, everyone gave a uniformly sober look.
Among the ministers, Sasa, Shibata and Kyung-soo seemed unable to wait now or now, and when they did, they were softening.
"Thank you very much for gathering today for your first swallow. I'll skip the detailed explanation of what sake is. My name is Hundred News at first sight, please come up first"
That said, Shizuko pours sake first on the black liquor bad. Proof that it's not turbid.
Next, he poured the white liquor into the bad, appealing its transparency to the ministers who were Nobunaga and the Lord.
"Oh, it's as clear as water"
Shizuko, who gets the right response, pours sake into two fine liquor spoils.
It's for her master, Nobunaga, and for her Kingsguard master. Put the liquor damage on the basin and offer it to Nobunaga first.
Nobunaga receives alcohol damage silently. Then a long time ago received alcohol damage.
The two first enjoy the fragrance with their faces close to the cup.
"You're weak in alcohol for a long time. You can't smell turbidity."
"Right, you smell like slightly sweet fruit instead. It has a really aromatic aroma that makes it look like a peach and has a bright acidity, and I'm looking forward to the flavor."
Shizuko, who smelled it when she cut the seal, felt that it smelled like lychee.
After a long time ago, they tipped the cup at the same time.
What looks like water is an unexpectedly strong alcohol burning down your throat on your back, and the liquid that makes your throat hot slips through your throat. Sweet aromas similar to fruits that pass through your nose for a moment and the taste of alcohol and rice bursting into your tongue.
"This is stronger than I thought. Excellent aroma of throat throat and lingering afterwards that makes it cool and hot"
"As long as there is no clutter like turbidity, you can taste what rice is."
"Shizuko, let Kasei swallow him too. There are about three guys I don't think I can stand."
As Nobunaga put it, Shibata, Sasaka and Keiji were still shapes that just stuck their hands in the barrel.
With a bitter smile, Shizuko distributes liquor and bad liquor to each warlord, pouring sake.
After all, the influence my husband was drinking to the effect that he seemed to have, or the person who was poured leans toward alcohol damage just because he says we are ahead of him.
"That's different from the booze you always swallow."
"It's good to stay as clear as water. If there's a painting for bad liquor, it'll still be windy."
"The problem is, don't swallow too much."
To his liking, Shizuko stroked her chest down.
"It's good to just drink alcohol, but sake will show another face when you drink it with the dish. I had some good stuff yesterday with fish hung on the net, so I tried to cook some. Pick it for the sake."
When Shizuko signals, the colors and the youngest daughter, who had refrained in the back, come with a meal.
Salt-roasted fish served on a ceramic plate with satin leaves. I dare to paint and bake grains of salt to stay. I also see a beautiful white body in my eyes.
"This fish is called Hiramasa. It has a pale, elegant flavour on it, but don't claim too much, so be sure to eat it with alcohol."
Shizuko took the chopsticks first with her words after all, or Nobunaga, and then she untied herself with the chopsticks and carried them to her mouth.
No one talks about poisonous sight anymore.
"Wow! You look like a carp, but you don't smell like mud. The boulder is called the fish of the sea, and the sweetness, saltiness and spiciness of the baked salt tighten the taste of the fish."
"I can't really taste this flavor in Kyo. Trout, tuna, and rock fish are also delicious, but it seems different from any of them. It's just a little too pale."
Then pour in a sip of sake. Push away the saltiness that was in your mouth with the glossy aroma.
"I see, this is good. Eating with alcohol makes me want another bite of the flavor that is too pale on the contrary"
"Salty dishes and spicy refreshing liquor. It's unprecedented pleasure to alternate this."
I also put on one chopstick after another as I breathed and watched what was going on in my seat. Shizuko breaks her face when she cheers everywhere and Sake is accepted.
"It would be delicious if you served it with this."
At Shizuko's signal, the red mountain is now accompanied by the side of the plate.
"This was soaked in the brewery, and the plum dried fruit was unwrapped, and cooked with a small amount of liquor and stock, resulting in plum soy sauce."
The freshness is increased by the addition of saltiness and plum flavor and acidity to the pale white body.
"Holy shit! Drinking sake after eating Hiramasa with plum soy will change your scent!!
The addition of plum flavor to the sweet and sweet fragrance like lychee of an object not yet known to Japan transformed the appearance from a fruity fragrance to a complex fragrance like a spice.
"This is sake... if this is going to be around the world, it could drive away the turbidity"
Long ago he groaned so with a stunned look.
