The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

Episode 524: Abolition of Customs Station

SIDE: Residents near Krabby River

Krabby has completely changed. It's a big difference from just a few years ago. We lived in the fields in our village, but these days there are a number of guys who go to work in the Krabby River.

The elderly were angry that the young would leave the village, but which way would they go outside with an instructor? Moreover, our village is not very well made of rice because of the proximity of the sea.

Thanks to the instructor, I can live in peace. I don't think it's possible to tell him not to go outside.

"Did you hear that? The neighbors stopped the barracks."

"Heh. Why again? Those greedy people?

"Everything seems to be ordered by Lord Oda. They're decommissioning everything around here."

Our village is also off the street and people don't come very often, but we had a street from the Krabby River to Qingzhou and Nagorno a short while ago outside the neighboring village, so people often came through. They used to take money from people passing through the village because of the flavor.

At one point, he tried to take money from the people who went to the hospital and the servants. Exactly. I was ordered to stop this if I appealed to the Qingzhou indicative box.

The people in the neighboring village complained in the shadows, but are happy in the neighboring village. I didn't take any money until I had a town in the Krabby River in the first place. I started doing that as soon as I got the streets.

Thanks to this, we used to have friendships, but these days we've lost our mouth.

"I'm glad I stopped. Why would they take money on a path built by the lord of Oda?

"You're doing it everywhere. I just touched you. In the future, you'll be punished for taking money on your own."

The dirty thing about the neighboring villages is that they don't take it from samurai or boys. They're after all the weak ones. Everyone says we have no choice, but do we really have no choice?

The lord of Oda makes sure that all of us can eat without starvation. But it's sweet for dirty people. I was also dissatisfied.

I don't want to be extravagant. When I go to work or go shopping in the hospital or city, I just want to go without getting paid.

Everyone like Neighbor Village just has to be captured and punished.

SIDE: Merchants in Tsushima

"But I didn't expect Oda to directly hold the post. Tsushima Shrine has often forgiven you."

"I hear you've rubbed a lot. The merchants have already been ruled by the Kuyuan family. You can't win."

I wouldn't have thought about it until a few years ago. Tsushima follows the Oda family, but still never got mouthed inside Tsushima.

My fellow merchants would be right. You can't win. That's all. Even Kusanaga, where neighboring merchants had previously gathered, declined without much objection, and at the end of the day the congregation was debated by the same Kusanagi merchants.

Other houses would settle the spear with apology money. But the Oda family can do business and trade in front of themselves.

It is also horrible that our fellow merchants have been cornered so much that they have to discuss it.

"Kuyuan would like to change his tail."

"I'm sure of that."

However, both Oda and Kuyuan will take care to ensure that the damage account remains extremely unchanged. It is therefore difficult to disagree greatly with new attempts as well. Especially since Kuyuan is a merchant, if you disagree, this one makes a suggestion that you lose money.

In the future, people in Oda territory will come and go within the territory without having to pay any money, and Sekiguchi will be the place to examine people and take money from people in other countries.

There will be new opportunities for commerce. I have heard that I have already tried it on the Krabby River with regard to the Sekiguchi, and many have actually gone to see it. Thank you. It's a place to prevent the plague and to find out who's suspicious in other countries. Taking money would be secondary.

"Well Tsushima is not a problem, and not a bad one. Though it will be complicated around the Temple of Petition Certificate and Osamura."

It's just that we're still better off. For the Oda family, Tsushima is the oldest town to follow, so it is treated completely differently.

In exchange for that, what's the trouble in the heart is Wish Certificate Temple and Otomo? By not following the Oda family, the world changes without a word. There will also be fear.

That's where the Oda family is so blatant these days. It is generous to those who obey honestly, and it does not benefit those who disobey or rebel. The method is like a merchant or a temple.

I don't know if this is really a good idea. Nevertheless, it will only be certain that Ozhang's Lower Four Counties will flourish more in the future.

Side: a long time ago

The abolition of the customs office between Qingzhou, Naguno, Tsushima, Krabby River and Hota was officially announced.

I haven't had any major problems. Those who were taking money to pay taxes on their own seem to have made a scene, but talk to the main forces along the streets.

Most of all, there are people everywhere who have no right but to block the way and threaten to pay if they want to go through.

Well, I try to coach them carefully once. Or because it's not a prison, it's a thief. But well, until now, that's what you've been through, isn't it?

I also specified and guided the matter of the Sekiguchi in my national laws so as not to create a Sekiguchi on my own, but some people do not understand that what I have been doing naturally violates it, and others deliberately ignore it.

However, it is not the samurai or temples that follow the Oda family that are doing that at this stage, but the self-proclaimed samurai earthlings and village-unit inhabitants.

People and other samurai are huge. I explained and adjusted beforehand, and defying the current Oda family would normally result in a death sentence in a territorial hostage.

There were quite a few points where customs duty was important when it came to samurai. I can't believe I can't live if I owe you money and you forbid me from lockup. Since it is the first area and the location is arguably the main area of the Oda family, it was carefully adjusted there.

Perhaps the problem is the inhabitants. I want rights, but I don't need obligations. We receive what we are given, but there are a certain number of people in our lives who think not to speak up.

Well, not just in this day and age, but at all times, I suppose.

We all have to work together to live. I wonder how long it will take you to figure that out.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

In the autumn of Astronomy XIX, the Oda family said that they abolished their posts between Qingzhou, Naguno, Tsushima, Hota and Krabby.

This seemed to be part of the centralization that was going on at the Oda family, and some historians argue that the Oda family had already escaped medieval rule around this time.

However, there is also a record of the difficulty and confusion of coordination during the abolition of this post in the materials at the time, and it is a theory that it was still in a transitional period.
