Not to mention the difficulties these guys encountered in training, Yoshiki Kira began to reform horse equipment. During the Warring States Period in Japan, equipment similar to horse armor had already appeared, that is, the armor, reins and bridles on the war horses had long been
I don't know why horse equipment is so backward. Even the stirrups don't just use a leather pocket and put your feet into the pocket. This is still the treatment enjoyed by the nobles. Ordinary people use cloth to make simple stirrups.
I'm really embarrassed to talk about the saddle. Except for Kira Yoshi's own saddle, which is specially made, others still use a piece of felt or linen folded up and placed under the buttocks. The buttocks are definitely worn terribly, and it's hard for these guys.
They were all chewing pickled radish and rice balls with miserable faces, but they were still able to withstand such perverted pain.
First, he changed the saddle into a high bridge saddle. A wooden frame was covered with animal skins and filled with some ground hay and feathers. Then he hung a stirrup on each side of the saddle.
During the process, he noticed that Japan had no idea what a horseshoe was.
This is simply a weird thing among weird things. Don’t they know that this hurts the horses? It’s no wonder that the Japanese don’t pay attention to the construction of cavalry. There are already few horses and even fewer are suitable for military horses. If they don’t pay attention to tool innovation, raising cavalry will be expensive and time-consuming.
, it is not as convenient as a simple mounted warrior to mount the horse to move and dismount to fight.
Now that he knew this situation, he had to order the blacksmith to shoe all the military horses. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty blacksmith was the best at horseshoeing, and the Omi blacksmith followed him and worked hard for a month to shoe the horses.
All horses are shoed, including those destined for sale.
Things like horseshoes are really magical in the eyes of warriors, especially when they see the nails driving into the horseshoes, the faces of the horseback warriors all twitch, as if they are not shoeing horses, but horseshoes.
Fortunately, these military horses were very calm and showed no signs of discomfort after being slapped with horseshoes. These guys could only swallow their doubts.
Inspired by this horse riding utensil, Kira Yoshiki found that he had found a new business, so Biwaya also began to sell multiple sets of horse utensils with exquisite workmanship and exquisite materials. At the same time, he also accepted the business of nailing horseshoes. Biwaya's business became more and more
The better, gradually invading many commercial houses with similar business properties.
Recently, Biwaya has been involved in a lot of lawsuits. Businessmen from three places have frequently sued Biwaya for infringement of their rights and interests. The main store in Sakaicho has suffered relatively more losses and won fewer lawsuits.
The people in the house are very good at judging the situation. Businesses that are exclusive to the Kira family will be judged in Biwaya's favor, and businesses that are not exclusive will most likely lose. The influence of the Kyoto shogunate will most likely mean that Biwaya wins the lawsuit. No one in Sakamoto dares to fight with them anymore.
Pipa House competes and the overall operating condition is good.
While he was busy dealing with horse utensils and things in the lute house, Yamamoto Tokiyuki was troubled. He was troubled by the behavior of the governor of the house who was looking for money all day long. Some senior samurai from Mikawa were a little dissatisfied.
Kawafuji Takashi, Matsui Yukan and other followers were busy dealing with various things in Sakamoto, and they also had to practice spear skills, which almost filled the whole day.
At the evaluation meetings three times a month, all the people are talking about various government affairs. These big bosses in Sanhe can't get in the middle of the conversation. Over time, there will always be some complaints. The current situation is good, but in the long run there will definitely be conflicts. This is also what Yamamoto said.
The reason for Shixing's headache.
So one afternoon at the end of April, after the training, Kira Yoshishi put down the wooden gun in his hand out of breath, and was about to ride back to Sakamoto Castle when he was blocked by Yamamoto Tokiyuki, "Master! I want to talk to you.
Talk!”
Kira Yoshishi looked at Yamamoto Tokiyuki with a serious face in surprise, and said with a smile: "Master, you want to talk to me? That's okay! Should we talk here or go back?"
"Master! You are the governor of the Ashikaga clan appointed by the shogunate. You should be diligent in government affairs, pay attention to farming, care about the samurai, or manage the people of the country and strengthen ties. You have many things to do, but business is not the case.
What needs to be done most urgently!”
"Well! That's it! I understand what Master and I mean!" Kira Yoshihi nodded and was about to walk over, but was stopped by him again.
"No! Master! I have something else to say! You have no doubts about your faith and loyalty to all the veterans. It is obvious to all that you are faithful and loyal, but your foundation is still the martial arts of Mikawa. They are your great cause in Kinai.
These people may not have bright minds or outstanding talents, but their loyalty and loyalty to you are absolutely unquestionable! If you rely too much on the followers and ignore the attitude of the Sanhe people, many people will be confused.
And worried!" Yamamoto Kansuke's words were sincere, and Kira Yoshiki couldn't help but feel moved.
"Teacher's consideration is indeed reasonable...but our family lacks internal affairs talents! Before this, weren't there only the three of me, Tadashi, and Tokimasa who could barely support the government affairs of the Kira family? Now we have several smart and capable people, and at the same time
Isn’t it unreasonable not to rely on the excellent practice of being respectful, loyal, and observing the law?”
The more Yamamoto Tokiyuki listened to his words, the more worried his face became. Finally he couldn't help sighing: "Despite these words, I still hope that the master of the museum can grasp an appropriate measure. The golden mean lies in balance!"
"Oh! Isn't this the art of imperial power? Understand! It turns out that I can also play such high-end, foreign-style and high-end things!" Kira Yoshitsune suddenly thought of this. If he didn't mention balance, he would never think of running through China.
the existence of history.
He gratefully said to Tokiyuki Yamamoto: "If it hadn't been for Master's reminder, I don't know how long it would have taken me to wake up! I, Yoshitoshi, would like to thank Master for the reminder!"
…
While he was busy training soldiers and practicing spear skills, Kira Yoshitoki was also busy with other things. In mid-April, as a member of the Ashikaga family, he participated in Ashikaga Yoshiharu's second annual memorial ceremony. Unknowingly, this
It has been a year since the death of the Grand Gosho. In this year, the capital and the world have been in turmoil. The sudden rise of the Ashikaga Shogunate has surprised everyone. If anyone knows about the Great Gosho Izumi, it will definitely be gratifying.
Since the Ming Dynasty goldsmith came to Sakamoto at the end of March, Heibei Soga had been close to him through his old acquaintance, and it only took him half a month to figure out the sand foundry method. When he reported the news to him,
Yoshitoki Kira immediately decided to take action. He first ordered Hosokawa Fujitaka to send an order to Sakai Town to build a money house and a three-way house. Everyone in Sakai Town knew the name of the money house, and now he had a deep connection with the Kira family.
The two house numbers are combined, and the meaning is self-evident.
The locations of Zeniya and Sangoya in Sakai Town have already been selected, and even the preliminary work has been completed. All they need to do is transport personnel and money there, and establish an institutional system and security system. However, within seven days, the two businesses were located next to each other in Bipa.
The houses next to the house were opened one after another, and the income of the money house and the three-way house increased rapidly in the next half month, thus establishing the status of the Kira family commercial house in Sakai Town.
Kira Yoshitsune personally went to the Copper House to inspect the first use of the mother coin founding method. He listened to Soga Heibei's explanation and roughly understood the process of the process.
