I was a swordsman in ancient Japan
Page 517
"This kind of battle with no chance of winning will only lead to death in vain."
"So I'm sorry no matter how much reward you give, I will not fight this kind of battle to die for nothing, and I will not let my disciples fight this kind of battle."
"Please come back."
Assistant [-]: "Master Samurai"
"Please go back!" Baosheng interrupted Zhu San with a much harsher and louder shout.
While interrupting Sukuzo's words, he cut his sharp eyes to Suzoku and Yushiro.
Startled by Baosheng's loud voice and sharp gaze, Sukuzo and Yushiro shrank their necks.
In the end, Susan and Yushiro left the reception room with a dejected expression on their faces.
After the two left the guest room, Baosheng asked a disciple who was still in the sword hall to escort them out of the sword hall.
After the two farmers left, Ogata finally spoke the first words since the two farmers began to talk about their experiences.
"Master Baosheng." Ogata turned his head and said to Baosheng beside him, "It's getting late now. It's almost time for me to leave first."
"Yes." Baosheng Chong Xufang smiled, "Mashima-sama, thank you for your hard work today too!"
After leaving the Hosho Sword Gym, Suzozo and Yushiro walked down the street with disappointment on their faces.
"Sure enough, the salary is still too low?" Yushiro lowered his head and sobbed.
The assistant on the side was also silent.
The pay they give is too low. Everyone in the village knows this.
If their village is rich enough to throw a lot of money in the faces of those warriors, they believe that many warriors will be invited to help out.
But they only dare to think about such things as "taking big money and throwing people in the face"
"What should we do now?" Yushiro looked at Zhuzo beside him in a daze, "The gang of ronin are coming at some point, and the two of us have only invited one samurai until now."
"People who went to other cities and towns probably didn't invite many samurai."
"With so few warriors, can they stop those ronin?"
Zuo San was silent again.
Although they don't know how to fight or the art of war, they can still do simple arithmetic.
The number of ronin who wanted to attack their village is unknown, and it is very likely that there are dozens of them.
And these villagers basically have no fighting power.The only ones who can stand against those rogues are the samurai they invite.
And if they can finally get 10 samurai, thank goodness
No matter how you look at it, their village will definitely lose now
"It would be great if there was a samurai who could ride a thousand horses willing to come and save us." Zhu San smiled wryly, and said this almost delusional words.
Just as he finished speaking, a young voice suddenly sounded behind them:
"Hey! You two!"
Suzawa and Yushiro were taken aback for a moment, then turned around.
It was a familiar figure that had just been seen.
It was the young warrior who had been sitting next to the owner of the sword gym just now, but his name was unknown.
The young samurai walked slowly to Suzo and Yushiro, and then continued:
"My name is Goro Mashima."
"Tell me in detail what the wanderers in your village have missed."
: The plot in the last chapter is actually a historical event.
In history, Hasegawa really used the public funds that Huo paid to the thieves to speculate in coins for the sake of the people.
I have also popularized science with you before. Japan in the Edo period had three types of currencies: gold, silver, and copper.
It is similar to the three currencies of US dollar, euro and Japanese yen circulating in the market at the same time.Then the exchange rates of these three currencies are constantly changing.
Hasegawa took advantage of the fact that the exchange rate between currencies is constantly fluctuating, and he kept buying and selling coins, and earned enough money to operate the Renjiao Depot by speculating on coins.
Then he was caught by Matsudaira Sadanobu.
In real history, Matsudaira Sadanobu did not deal with Hasegawa very much.One very important reason is that Hasegawa was single-handedly promoted by the previous generation of Naka Tanuma Yiji, so Hasegawa can be regarded as Tanuma Yiji's close minister. In Japan, which pays attention to interpersonal relationships, this is quite a terrible thing.
However, in the real history, although Matsudaira Jonobu discovered this secret of Hasegawa, he did not do anything to Hasegawa. Matsudaira Jonobu released Hasegawa, and let Hasegawa continue to lead the Huofu Thief Kai and continue to operate the Renzujiao .
By the way: The old Nakatanuma Yiji of the previous generation is also a pretty legendary figure.I will introduce it to you later.In today's small class, I will share with you some popular science content that all color critics must be interested in: the medicine in the Edo period that can add to the fun of that kind of thing.And how people in the Edo period bought this medicine by express delivery.
That's right, there were express delivery in the Edo period.

Chapter 451 Ogata: Why do people always make trouble for me? 【6800 words】
"Come back, please!" Hosho shouted at Suzuzo and Yushiro with a much harsher and louder yell.
At the same time that Tosukezo and Yushiro yelled, Hosho cut his sharp eyes to Suzuzo and Yushiro.
Startled by Baosheng's loud voice and sharp gaze, Sukuzo and Yushiro shrank their necks.
The obvious fear, unwillingness, pain, despair, grievance and other emotions climbed onto their faces.
Looking at the expression changes on the faces of the two, for some reason, memory fragments that should have been dusty for a long time emerged from the depths of Ogata's mind uncontrollably.
"Hey! Is anyone still alive?! Anyone can! Answer me!"
"master"
"Makino, Sawamura"
"Senior Mikami, if you want to continue thanking me, go ahead and say anything to me."
These memory fragments that emerged from the depths of Ogata's mind uncontrollably were shown back and forth in front of Ogata's eyes.
Susan and Yushiro drooped their heads, and slowly left the Baosheng Sword Gym under the guidance of a certain apprentice who was still in the Gymnasium at this time.
When the two of them had just left the Baosheng Sword Gym, Xu Fang said to Baosheng:
"Master Baosheng. It's getting late now. It's almost time for me to retire first."
"Yes." Baosheng Chong Xufang smiled, "Mashima-sama, thank you for your hard work today too!"
After leaving the gate of the Baosheng Sword Gym, Ogata took a deep breath and looked up at the almost completely black sky above his head.
At this moment, there are already bright stars hanging above the sky.
Ogata was not so much looking at the sky as he was looking at the stars above his head.
He pursed his lips, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, Ogata turned his eyes away from the sky above his head.
Then he hurried towards the direction where Susan and Yushiro left.
"Hey! You two!"
Ogata quickly caught up with Suzoku and the others.
"My name is Goro Mashima."
"Tell me in detail what the wanderers in your village have missed."
The inns in the Edo period were also graded, and they were divided into 4 classes: Honjin, Waki Honjin, Hatago, and Wooden Rentals.
Honjin is a residential facility dedicated to providing services for daimyo, public officials, and senior officials of the shogunate.
The Waki Honjin, which is one level lower than the Honjin, provided services for daimyo and shogunate officials with lower ranks.
If you want to stay in the Honjin and Waki Honjin, you should not only look at the money but also your status.
No matter how rich you are, if you are not a minister or shogunate official, you will not be able to live in Honjin and Waki Honjin.
Hatago and Wooden Rentals are inns specially serving ordinary samurai and common people.
Hatago is a general lodging facility for samurai and civilians, usually with meals.
Hatago that does not provide meals are called "hirahatago".
The lowest-level wooden rental hotel was the cheapest hotel in the Edo period. Not only did the rooms have a single type, but the rooms were generally small and old, and they did not provide meals and bedding.
Because the grade and service are the worst, the price of wood rental is also the cheapest.
One night at a wooden rental lodging costs about one-fifth of the price of a hatago.
Ogata and A-Machi still have a considerable amount of savings now.
And the two are not the kind of penny-pinching misers, they have never been stingy about basic necessities of life.
The inn where the two of them lived in Nishino Town was a standard hatago.
Unlike Ogata who has activities from morning to night, A-machi is very free these days.
Nishikino-cho is not big, and Ah-cho has visited every corner of Nishikino-cho for a long time.
Ah-cho, who has nothing to do, can only stay in the hotel room every day these days, learning the Ainu language.
She never thought that she, who can't even speak Mandarin, would learn Ainu language one day.
A Machi belongs to the "semi-literate" standard of this era, who can only understand kana and most of the Chinese characters.
This is a bit similar to only recognizing Pinyin, but not Chinese characters.And this kind of semi-literacy is quite common in this era.
So in order to make A-Machi understand this teaching guide, Ogata had spent a lot of effort to annotate all the Chinese characters in this teaching guide, and marked the meaning of the Chinese characters on the side.
Because there is nothing to do other than stay in the hotel and learn Ainu language, the progress of A-cho has long surpassed Ogata, and he has mastered the sixth form of this "Teaching Guide to Common Phrases in Ainu Language". one-fifth of the vocabulary.
"Osso Horse Shit Osso Horse Shit"
Atachi, who was lying on the tatami while holding the teaching guide, was learning the new vocabulary Osoma.
Osoma in Ainu language means shit.
Because the sky outside was completely dark, A-Machi had lit an oil lamp just now, and read a book by the light from the oil lamp.
After silently memorizing the new vocabulary, A-Ming, feeling a little tired, closed the teaching guide in his hand, and stretched vigorously.
Then he tilted his head and cast his gaze to the sky outside the window.
Looking at the already dark sky, Ah-Ming murmured:
"It's so slow, what happened?"
At this point in the past, Ogata had already returned.
However, until now, Ogata has not been seen by Ah-machi.
It's also a coincidence that Ah-machi was just thinking about why Ogata came back so late today, when she heard familiar footsteps outside the room.
"Machi, I'm back."
It was Ogata who opened the hotel door.
Before A-Machi could ask Ogata why he came back so late, Ogata took the lead and said:
"A-machi. Simply pack your luggage tonight, and tomorrow we will leave Nishino-machi for a while."
"Leaving Nishino Town?" Ah-ding looked puzzled.
next day morning
Ogata and Machi didn't have much luggage.The outfits of the two can be said to have carried out the "light and simple travel" to the extreme.
Their luggage only has clothes, money, water bottles and other odds and ends.
Each of them carries a small cloth bag, which can carry all their luggage.
By the way, the Monsuke haori hakama and Shiro Mugo clothes that they bought for the wedding were deposited with Uncle Kei, who planned to settle down in Edo.
Monfu Haori Hakama and Bai Wugou are both dresses, they are useless except for looking good.
For Ogata and A-cho who were going to travel far, these dresses were just a bunch of burdens, so before leaving Edo, Ogata and A-cho deposited all these clothes in Uncle Kei for safekeeping.
After carrying their luggage, Ogata and A-machi stood at an entrance in the north of Nishino-cho.
In front of them, standing a farmer with vicissitudes of life is Zhu Saburo.
Zhu San faced Ogata in front of him, and kept nodding and bowing to Ogata:
