Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era
In mid-October of one thousand five hundred and seventy-six
"I have forgiveness from the boss for this attack on Takeda, so it's good to go wild without any help... right?
He said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to leave a grudge behind."
There were rather fewer reassuring elements in the overly disturbing narrative, but there were times when Nobunaga instructed me to immediately like it, and I decided to acquiesce.
I told him what he had to say about Long Ke, so he turned to the high tiger next.
"Fujido, you're not going to attack the East, you're going to have to turn to the West Side defense, but do you have any requests or something?
"Nothing in particular. I have deposited some interesting tools (...), and this may be the first time my heart has ever jumped so far"
"Oh, is that it (...)? Difficult to handle, but seems to be usable?
"Reason has been carefully planted in the classroom by the Sumitomo Hall in advance, so if you just want to use it, there is no problem. If you told me to make it from scratch, it would be different again."
"Um, because the only furnace that can handle nickel is in the tailgate. Besides, the ore itself can't be picked in Japanese books, so it's expensive to import..."
"I can't wait for the time to come to use the electricity that Lord Satoshi spoke of"
I didn't even see a discouraged bareback gesture on the High Tiger when he said he couldn't come to the opportunity to give you the glorious result of an Eastern attack.
Being placed on the western side is also tantamount to a poverty lottery, but the presence of certain inventions had freed him from some things such as handles.
This time the equipment deposited with Takati is to be deployed to Shizuko, who remains in Ozhang, one of the same type, and to Shinzhong, who goes to the front line.
Because there are few moving parts, but the wear rate of the parts is high, it is the current situation that even with the power of Shizuko, it is full to operate the current three machines.
Shizuko turns to you because she is satisfied with the flow of the story.
"Yes, well, Uncle Satisfaction will act a little differently, but can you ask him to conquer Sado Island?
"Sado... I see, I understand"
"I'm sorry I pushed you around."
Sado Island is a remote island located in the western part of modern Niigata Prefecture. It is famous for the existence of one of Japan's leading gold mines, but the Gold Mine Vein was discovered about a quarter of a century ago in 1601.
Known in the name of "Sado Gold Mountain," it is actually a generic name for gold and silver mines, among them the size of Aikawa Gold and Silver Mountain, and if you simply say Sado Gold Mountain, you often refer to Aikawa Gold and Silver Mountain.
It has also been treasured in history as an important financial resource for the Edo Shogun, and is one of the world's leading mines, producing as much as 400 kilometres of gold and 37 tons of silver in a year at its peak.
Although inferior to Aikawa Kim Gin Mountain, many promising mines such as Tsuruko Gin Mountain, Shinho Gin Mountain and Nishi Migawa Sand Gin Mountain also sleep outside.
Satisfaction would destroy Mr. Honma ahead of history because it was placed under Mr. Honma's control until the destruction of Kaiseki Uesugi in historical fact in 1589.
"There's no need for Shizuko to care. I guess it's necessary for Oda's hegemony."
Therefore, as for Sado Island, a story about gold appeared in the collection of stories in the past, so it is known that gold will be produced even at that time. So much gold on the surface has been exposed, but it is not known that it is literally only the tip of the iceberg.
Nobunaga has been loading maps of Japan since Shizuko gave them to him a long time ago, but discovers that Sado has a large number of Kanayama notes.
Asked Shizuko about this, and finding out that a giant Kanayama was sleeping on Sado Island, Nobunaga quickly sought control over Sado Island in the morning court.
However, Mr. Honma, who has been in control of Sado Island since the Kamakura period, could not have responded honestly, and Nobunaga was not made to take advantage of the fact that he was transferred to another prominent territory.
Furthermore, it appeared that this interview had inspired Mr. Honma, or even determined hostility to Oda for something that he would not ostensibly say.
There was a direct order from Nobunaga regarding this satisfactory task, and the letter from Nobunaga said that he would promote his satisfaction with the negotiations with Mr. Honma as a pre-construction task.
Strange and well-perceived, Shizuko felt the smell of plot there. And as she found out, Satisfaction is not going to negotiate or anything from the start.
At the time of kicking the proposal in good terms for Nobunaga, Mr. Honma became the enemy to be destroyed.
"And Maida-san will be joined in the Takeda attack. When that's over, please turn to Hojo, Mr. Giorzo begs you to go to Hojo from the beginning. Mr. Maida will spread rumors in Takeda territory."
"I understand. So what kind of rumors do we circulate?
"I want you to secretly go over the contents of buying a product worth three times the local price."
"I see. By the time Takeda finds out, we'll be creating a situation where nearly half of them are spilling out, right? There is nothing in the territory to rush to buy and collect supplies. You need to give more than triple the value to buy it back. Takeda is poor."
"If you're a smart merchant, you feel the tide and sell the product, you'll escape Takeda territory with your feet. Can't wind up private property from a fat merchant, and buying from the outside costs more than three times the market value? Don't even think about it, Shizuko."
"We don't just have to hit each other with weapons. I want you to tell me this is an operation to create a favorable situation before the end of the war opens."
Shizuko disputed Nagako's words. She didn't spare her life to stop standing on the battlefield. If you want to make a polar argument, the value of Shizuko on the battlefield can be replaced by someone else, regardless of the degree of difference.
However, Shizuko, as a Nobu who can continue to support nation-building with a view to the far future, can no longer be replaced by anyone else, so his surroundings will never be released to a battlefield where he is likely to lose his life.
Shizuko is therefore focusing on support other than direct combat in general. Of course, the manufacture and maintenance of weapons is enough to incorporate medical products into food, fuel and clothing, as well as mental care through regular medical check-ups and counseling of soldiers.
It also utilizes a tight position of total commerce and distribution and constantly collects information from all sources. Shizuko's connections have tremendous influence, including in the morning courtyard, as well as in the commercial area of Kansai One-Yen.
There is also a large loan to Akechi Mitsuyuki and Hideyoshi Hanzai, the leading warlords, so they are also quite accommodating to the warrior society of various factions.
Furthermore, because there is an intermittent organization led by Chang Yuki Maida in the distribution, it can be said to be the best intelligence communication in the Warring States period, which is covered up to rumors at the individual level.
"I thought," What does the enemy think about me not showing up on the battlefield at all?
"The theory of death won't flow because your merchant's" Takamiya "is blowing quiet feats everywhere, but it's creepy from the other guy. I can't grasp the trend as my influence is steadily growing to my feet."
At the time of the dialogue called the theory of death, the talent frowned. I can't say enough of the following words to exaggerate. If you are in the Oda family, the presence and information of Shizuko will come in, but once (once) you go outside, the information that leaks will be drastically reduced.
That influence is immense while you are there. As the most powerful actor in the warring kingdom and the one who defeated our Takeda, he became the driving force behind Oda's luxury. Even if he was involved in business at all, Shizuko's name would be in his ear.
Sooner or later, people will know that the Oda family is going into an offensive against the East, but even then, we can't just grasp Shizuko's trends.
Takeda and Hojo leaders who would actually be feeling signs of going won't mind.
"Hmm. I guess I need to think a little bit about my exposure. Well, that's the challenge ahead."
We need to continue to look at the folds and open military discussions and pack up the details, but the topic of urgency has run out. Usually I declare the dissolution on the spot, but Shizuko looked around and called out.
"With that said, I'd like you to spend your money to restore profits everywhere, but does anyone want to do it?
The moment Shizuko threw the question, other than Satisfaction and Talent raised his hand.
The money gathered at Shizuko's is enormous. It had already gained momentum over Sakami on an economic scale, with marked wealth bias.
Nobunaga is strategically spending money, but it is still unusable or difficult to spend because it is not cash.
It is also more economically effective to set aside a certain amount each year and return it regularly in the sense of preserving the soundness of the economy, although there is also a hand in paying off the claims that we have raised during the large-scale civil engineering of Aichi water entanglement, which is a state project.
Nobunaga has instructed Shizuko to invest moderately in what she thinks is this, but yes, there is no way to find a convenient place to invest.
Even in doing so, foreign currencies inflows other than those in circulation in Oda territory had already become on a scale that could not be ignored.
Not consuming in the right place on this is causing a deflation of the relative decline in prices as a result of currency shortages occurring in the economies of other countries and higher currency scarcity.
Shizuko also overlooked the existence of this foreign currency until things got serious. In any case, in the commercial area under the influence of the Oda family, it is possible to trade in the currency controlled by the Oda family.
In Oda territory, foreign currencies become excessive, and foreign currencies dubbed at the disposal of the exchangers are not user-friendly in Oda territory, but if they are inserted, they will gradually increase in value and thus die. Even Kyo, under the influence of the Oda family, tended to deflate when the problem thus surfaced.
In other words, Shizuko managed to buy away the foreign currency accumulated in the accumulation and had to create a stream that refluxed again to the outside world.
It had to be dealt with as soon as possible, too, and had missed the time when we could no longer care less about waste.
"I hate wasting money, so the savings are named, but you guys seem confident, don't you?
If Shizuko spends money, as she herself said, it is totally unsuitable for solving this problem because she uses it in a way that anticipates some return more than she used.
Initially Shizuko tried to invest in land development for port business, expansion of foreign trade, etc., so she waited from Nobunaga but hung up.
As Nobunaga, Shizuko thought that she could spend money around herself and wear clothes and other jewellery to the house and jewellery worthy of that status.
However, what was actually delivered from Shizuko to Nobunaga was a proposal for the new business. Every plan is well crafted with expected income in the medium to long term.
The sense of shoulder watermark that Nobunaga had eaten was enormous, and at last he gave up letting Shizuko himself spend his money, and he came up with the task of letting him use it for his subordination.
"Leave it to me! If you ask me to make some money, I'm in trouble, but I have one word to say about using it."
Push your chest up and say something that is not long enough.
"Besides being put out no good, I tried spending money on cultural promotion, and that seemed like a bad idea"
"Yeah, you were just gathering swords, repairing borough temples, looking around at something secret, right? Were you taking a nice guy named Hasegawa?
"Hasegawa enjoyed it."
Shizuko is the daughter of the Pentecostal head Kingsguardian, who has been ordered by the court of morning to guard the arts, and has actually made a track record of compiling and presenting various materials.
For this reason, even the things that were supposed to be out of the door and hidden treasures had been given the opportunity to browse.
As for Hasegawa, we could see treasures that could not even be viewed through the Tute of Ritual Rest, and we were inspired by them and took in the technology used.
"Does that Hasegawa guy end up holding you?
"Instead of giving me an assignment, you snuck me a sneak peek of the work he's making at normal times, but that was the deciding factor. Perhaps it's easier for him to show his strength by pulling out his shoulders than by surprise."
Hasegawa had once failed a test put out by Shizuko. Therefore, Shizuko did not notify him as an exam, and tried to periodically collect what he usually makes to look through it.
Shizuko doesn't have an aesthetic eye for painting, but there were people who looked at Hasegawa's talents who showed long-legged growth every time they were inspired.
"Of course he has good arms himself. His son is also beginning to show off his talent under the influence, so both parents and children are looking forward to the future."
"I don't know how generous it is to have a house set up just for that."
"The world of art is very sensitive, so I want you to dedicate your time to producing your work."
What Shizuko is doing resembles a patron who was doing in medieval Europe. As a result, the quality of life of the Hasegawa family improved remarkably.
The Hasegawa River was now flowering its talent precisely as it was placed in an environment where many learning opportunities could be given without anxiety in clothing and living.
"Even the painting materials we're letting you use at all costs are going to cost a good deal, right?
"It's a necessary expense. Seung-zo, even you can shoot a short bow off a horse tomorrow without practicing.
"Well, you can't do that"
"He is now a butterfly that is taking off his pupae and feathering. We need some time now to spread our wings wide and plunge into the world, but aren't we looking forward to waiting for that?
"I don't know. The world."
Shizuko grins bitterly at how long she can frown and pointy her mouth. Shizuko, who realizes that the conversation has been greatly derailed, coughs up and tries to modify the route.
"Back to the story, then cash this bill at the nearest Tagoya when you get to the city of destination. Because you don't mind spending the full amount."
"Oh, are we done talking? Well, it's not Seung-zo, but I'm confident in spending money, too. I'm on a big ship. I'll take care of it."
Shizuko thinks to the next word of celebration. I want you to leave as soon as you can, but I haven't told Nobunaga I'm leaving cheap soil.
"I'll let you know that I'm going back to Ogi, so just make sure each one of you is ready to leave."
When Shizuko begged for free, Nobunaga immediately allowed it. Ideally, the money would be dropped outside the Oda family's forces, but it is difficult for the warlords under his command, who were the Lord in this period before how much, to go away.
So first, we leave Yasushi to go to Kyoto, then after a few days of stay, we head to Sakamoto, stop on the beach now and take the route back to Oozhong via Mino.
I need to drop money around this route, but Shizuko thought it would take a lot of time to think of herself as a benchmark.
"Huh? Is it gone yet?
Shizuko, who had been in a hurry to meet with her stepfather, Makio Kinei (Sakihisa) since arriving in Kyoto, and to show her face at a concert hosted by Makku, was surprised that Nagako ran out of money.
"Huh. All this is better for me than for Shizuko. If you spend more money than you spend alone, you lose it all at once."
The use of long-capable gold was simple and lucid. All he did was pick a prospective member of his crew to luxury his rice and booze, give each of them some clustered money and tell them to spend whatever they wanted.
Nagako's men further acted as Nagako did to his own men. This resulted in a vertical flow of gold.
Because each spends money in thoughtful places, gold will fall in various places, from luxury stores to mass stores. Thus the gold spread horizontally, and the gold went wide.
"I see. Though I thought it would be more effective to spend large sums of money in aggregate, it would be reasonable in terms of spreading them over smaller amounts and turning them over to consumption faster. I just don't remember telling you to spend more money than your budget?
With that said, Shizuko poked a bunch of bills at the chief. There was a huge amount of money written down there that was turned to the tsuke in the name of the longable. Of course, Shizuko is replacing all of that.
I guess I screwed up because I ran out of money, but it would be self-evident that the bill would reach Shizuko, who is telling me he belongs.
"No, I was gonna pay for this."
"I don't mind. Because I'm just going to keep deducting a certain amount from your future salary. In Sakamoto, be careful with the boulders, right? In Kyou, there's a lot of credit for the Kingsguard name, but if you do it in Sakamoto, it'll be considered a sales jam, right?
"Wow, okay."
Although there were some minor problems, Shizuko succeeded in dropping a lot of money from the first stop. Shizuko learned that policies to broaden the mouth of people who spend money in the future are also effective in some cases.
The day after Shizuko returned to Ozhang, she was visiting the scenery with a celebration. When I was invited to his residence, I realized that all those who had been taken hostage since Echigo were in full swing.
Celebration at a glance at the situation perceived what they were trying to say, but the words Shizuko uttered were outside of his imagination.
"I'll tell you clearly because you seem to be thinly guessing. Next year, there will be a major turning point after. Let me see what each of us wants to do about it."
In Celebration's next prediction, I thought I would just tell her what was going on, but Shizuko asked her what she wanted to do as she already knew about it.
They are hostages offered as a guarantee that Egoku will not betray them. Whatever the problem is, they don't have a choice. I will only stay in Oozhong in prayer that my country will not betray me.
"Keep your position as a hostage on one end of the shelf. There are three main options you can choose from. One is the way to take off the tail tension and join the pro-Bahjo faction. One is the road back to the Uesugi family to crusade the Parent Hokkaido for your home. The last one is the road that grows roots here in Ogi until things are over. Now I forgive you for choosing any path."
"I want to ask you before I tell you my hope. Why, give us a choice? In your position, would it be more convenient for us to remain in Oozhong as hostages?
Shizuko grins with a nickel in response to the question of the scenery. Shizuko has been entrusted by Nobunaga to manage the scenery winners. If the hostages are no longer on their own, they will be held accountable and the scenery will be troubled.
"They say you can do whatever you want, and now I'm telling you, I don't like to call you a hostage in the first place."
But Shizuko and Nobunaga gave different answers. I wanted to know how they would behave, knowing the world and new values outside their homeland, rather than killing hostages for nothing at a small cost.
The answer to the question whether it is the nature of a creature called man that continues to be bound by values that are still old (cuckoo at best), even if a glimpse of an endlessly wide end of the world is through a window called Ozhang, becomes them.
It is also Nobunaga's intention to go outside and look at the world at large, but to destroy every main house if hostages are to draw (cucumbers) solely from the survival of their own homes.
"Ha. So this is the graduation exam we were given, right? Take a look at what the sprouts you sprinkle will bear!
In response to Shizuko's words, Jingsheng laughed happily and showed them. When I looked at the floating grin of the scenery and the determination of the ministers following him, I didn't even have to ask him the answer again.
Because it was not the eyes that precipitated it, but the expression of some people trying to win the future.
"You don't even have to ask me the answer. Enjoy yourself. What you wear here in the land will do you some good."
"The hostages we are treated as non-existent do not affect a lot of people because of the scattering in the field. But if you get the hang of it, be a big Venus. Let's show Hokujo what he's got in his eyes for the rest of the year."
"If we keep each other raw after it's all over, let me tell you about the martial arts tradition with the liquor in one hand. I'm forbidden to drink, so it must be Kyung-soo who will accompany you."
When Shizuko mixed it up by touching the prohibition, everyone shouted up and laughed.
"Some of you will be part of the rest of your life, let's not all regret it."
Speaking the words, Shizuko and Kyung-seok followed Jingsheng's residence. The people after dropping off the two continued to bow their heads deeply until they were invisible.
"Well, I'll leave their rate to Keiji. We're just on our way, and you say," Journeys are pathetic, "right?
Shizuko threw words at the celebration as she walked down the hallway with a groan and bouncing footsteps, either because she saw their clean living. Shizuko couldn't help but look forward to seeing how much the Celebrations would do later.
"Hmm, rhetoric I don't listen to, but I liked it. I'll scratch you around at the most, so look forward to your report."
Celebration had a pleasant grin as she tilted her neck. The expression was the evil kid himself who came up with a prank to keep.
For the record, Celebration can't help but not sound familiar. Ka's dialogue is one of the "Edo Hakata" that appeared during the Edo period, so there's no way the current Celebration knows.
"The face of the curious leaps (yakuza), right? The main battlefield is enemy territory, and you're a soldier.
The movements of the Parent Hokujo faction in Echigoku are not well understood. Information on whether or not information control is on the way, or after, doesn't quite come into the tail, but there is no doubt that the pro-Hojo sect is being hunted down.
Sometimes, as in "Cramps (Cucumbers) Bite the Cat" (Proverbs), a cornered one can strike back unexpectedly. Besides, the local interest is on the other side, it will force a difficult amount.
It is also difficult to work with Kenshin Uesugi. Just in case the enemy finds out that Jingsheng and the others are on their way, they will be besieged.
Therefore, the Celebrations need to fight against the pro-Hokkaido faction to prove themselves while not being suspected of being enemies by humility. The anxiety element becomes like a crossing in a mountain, but that's why I thought it was an interesting man named Keizai.
"Interesting, of course. This is the only place in this day and age where you can have this kind of place, and it's all about human profit."
"That was good. Oh, I'll give this to you for once."
With that said, Shizuko removed a bunch of paper from her nostalgia. Celebration leans neck with an unwritten Japanese spelling booklet in hand.
"What's this?
"An operation I set up assuming a situation that is going to happen to me. Read it if you remember when you're in real trouble? If you don't want it, you can use it for incineration, so it won't get in the way."
As a Shizuko, I want you to fight to the fullest in celebration. On the other hand, I don't want you to lose your life. Therefore, if he wanted to survive, he narrowed his wisdom so that he could stay alive as long as possible.
Celebration was pleased that Shizuko was craving herself while respecting her way of life. I therefore say a word that I will miss the booklet rather than poking it back.
"I'll thank you. If you sneak under your armor, you'll avoid bullets."
Celebration laughed nicely, fisting her chest with a booklet when she said so.
