Samurai of the Takeda Family

The first thing Li Xiao did after he was promoted to the rank of general was to move his place of residence from the castle tower of Gaoyuancheng to the castle town of Gaoyuancheng.

Why? The reason is simple, because the family's population has increased, and the number of samurai under his direct staff has increased a lot.

After the World War I, many of the Oban cavalrymen who followed Li Xiao were born and died. Many people are grateful for Li Xiao’s life-saving grace, or feel that following Li Xiaohun will be more promising in the future, and they have been able to help him. Plan.

　　 After Li Xiao learned the news, he heard the news that he was expected to be promoted to the general, so he looked for an opportunity to talk to the important person in Obatakikan. Kenshige Obata didn't want to let anyone go, but he always felt that in Shirane Mountain, he owed Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao a favor, and at this time, Li Xiao was very famous, and he had the momentum of the Takeda family's first warrior.

　　 Kenshige Kobata also made a long-term plan to make friends with Li Xiao, so he decided to let him go. At the beginning, there were more than 20 Obata Akobezhong who followed Li Xiao, and a total of eleven Obata family samurai served as Li Xiao.

　　 The number of samurai under his direct staff increased, which meant that Li Xiao's expenditure would also increase. Although Li Xiao is now promoted to the rank of assistant general, he has not been granted a land of knowledge and action. Instead, he directly receives salaries from Takeda Katsurai, with an annual salary of 600 guan.

　　600 guan annual salary, as a magistrate, it can be regarded as a middle-grade salary, for example, Fujido Takatora, when working under Hashiba Hidenaga, as a magistrate, the annual salary is 3,300 shi, slightly higher than Li Xiao.

However, considering that it is Li Xiao who receives the direct salary and guarantees the income during droughts and floods, unlike Zhixing where the fee of three men and two people is deducted, Li Xiao still thinks it is not bad, and it is quite good to be replaced by a small family with a salary of six hundred guan. Yu Jialao is of this grade.

Before that, Li Xiao had a good talk with the Samurai of the Obat family. The annual salary he gave to everyone was 30. This salary was a little lower than the annual salary of some of them, but they all expressed no doubt about it. .

In addition to this group of newly joined Ohata samurai, Li Xiao’s original three samurai, Shima Katsume, Shioka Kazuha, and both of them are 50, and Ohata Yumi originally promised him an annual salary of 40. However, due to her outstanding performance in Shiraneyama's battle, Li Xiao, after returning to Gaoyuan Castle, also promoted her salary to Yushima Shengmu, Shioka Kazuha a level of fifty.

　　 Well, before Li Xiao got the six hundred pens, he divided up four hundred and eighty pens.

　　 Although the samurai house that Li Xiao wants to live in in Takato-cho is ready, it is a little out of repair due to a certain age, and several places are damaged. Li Xiao also decided to repair the house.

　　For Japan at that time, wooden houses were still quite rare. In the countryside, only the servants, or those with a little financial foundation, could afford to live in the mud houses where most people lived. In Takato-cho, the situation is better, but more than half of the houses are mud-thatched houses.

　　 So even though the samurai house is crude and crude in the eyes of modern people, Li Xiao, it is still a wooden house. For most Japanese who had never lived in a wooden house at that time, it was definitely a luxury. So living in a wooden house is a privilege of the samurai class.

　　 The long house of the Samurai House is equivalent to the current tube building, with a corridor in the center and long and narrow rooms on both sides, separated into many separate rooms. The samurai and his family live in such a small single room.

　　A better place than a straw mud house, the floor of each single room will be covered with wooden planks. For the Japanese who are accustomed to laying futons on the floor, sleeping with such wooden planks is already very good. In addition, wood is used to raise the space under the long house, so that sleeping in this way is not only moisture-proof but also ungrounded.

　　 The samurai house after Li Xiao paid for the rest and repaired the damaged roof and the leaky wooden walls. This concern about the performance of his subordinates moved the island Katsutake and Shioka Kazuha who lived here.

　　 Outside the Samurai Longhouse, there is Master Li Xiao's house, and the distribution of the two patterns happens to be an L-shape. At the level of samurai samurai, they will have a decent house independently, and get rid of the fate of crowding the dormitory of the samurai house.

　　 The house that Li Xiao lived in felt a bit like the mountain villa he lived in before going to the resort.

　　 As the general's house, it was built entirely of wooden planks, and the ground was supported by wooden pillars, with a height of half a meter above the ground. Step up a few wooden steps, after entering the gate, there is a small transitional area separating the outside and the inner room. There are separate halls for meeting guests and living quarters and bedrooms for personal rest. In modern terms, this It is the result of the separation of dynamics and statics.

　　 The rooms are all separated by paper sliding doors. In addition to the hall bedroom, there is also a kitchen, a hut, and even a separate bathroom.

　　Well, how can I say such a house, for Li Xiao who used to live in the university dormitory every day, it can finally satisfy his little native rich man and petty bourgeoisie. What's lacking is that there is no Internet access, no call on Nobunaga’s Ambition, no cell phone, no roommate’s company, no family’s care.

Forget it, thinking of this, Li Xiao pounded his chest and said secretly, how to say, in the six months since I came to Japan in the Warring States Period, relying on my own efforts, I struggled to the point of being a master. For many people at that time, it was absolutely true. An unattainable achievement.

　　 Li Xiao walked out of the house, and now his samurai have moved their homes to the long house on one side. For them, Li Xiao is the lord who they will be loyal to in the future, and their personal honor, disgrace and wealth are firmly tied to Li Xiao.

　　 So when Li Xiao appeared outside the house, UU read www. uukanshu. Comrades of these samurai family members put aside what they were doing and came over to salute.

　　 Li Xiao smiled and signaled that they don't need to bother, so they went back to work on their own affairs.

　　 The outside of the Samurai House is enclosed by a wooden fence. The open space of the house becomes a large yard. There is also a stable on the side. The warriors’ horses are raised by horse servants specially hired by Li Xiao.

In addition to the stables, there are also huts. In addition, at the request of Li Xiao, a large collective bathroom was built. His original purpose was not to have a bunch of stinky subordinates around him. You can be less sick as part of improving your combat effectiveness.

　　 But in the eyes of the samurai, Li Xiao's move has become a good name for being considerate to his subordinates, because the Japanese regard bathing as a luxury enjoyment no matter how they were in the past or now. It's a pity that as a samurai at that time, there is generally no such condition. So Li Xiao can fulfill their wishes, and these samurai certainly look grateful.

　　 In addition to improving the accommodation conditions of his samurai and building a bathhouse, Li Xiao also deliberately changed their diet, changing the Japanese habit of two meals a day to three meals a day.

　　 Modern science proves that eating less and more meals is very beneficial to your health. As your own samurai, you will work for Li Xiao in the future. Naturally, Li Xiao will not treat them badly at this point.

　　 As for the samurai, they were a bit unaccustomed to the temporary dinner, but Li Xiao deliberately used the dinner as a subsidy for the night meal cost directly from his salary.

　　 In view of some truths about eating for nothing, these samurai would naturally not refuse. Of course, Li Xiao didn't let them eat this dinner for nothing. Naturally, there are important things to let them do at night.
