Chapter 161: Open the door, the Fujiwara family sends warmth
"Fujiwara family? What are they doing here now?" the head of the Imagawa family said in confusion.
He was not about to open the door, and waved his hand to ask a warrior to go to the door to observe the situation.
It is similar to leaving an opening on the door for observation. It is usually closed, but when you need to observe the outside situation, you can secretly open a small crack.
The Imagawa family's samurai also slowly drew out his sword, trying not to make any noise, and cautiously came to the door. He walked lightly to the door and prepared to look up at the door.
"boom!"
The wooden door shattered instantly, and the huge strong wind even produced a sonic boom. The samurai hit the wall on the spot and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
The fragments of the wooden door passed by the Imakawa family, and the strong wind pressure caused them to fall directly to the ground.
"Fujiwara family, our Imagawa family is not a family loyal to the daimyo, why..." The head of the Imagawa family was halfway through questioning, when he only saw the light of the sword for a moment, and then he felt like the world was spinning.
Under the influence of blood pressure, blood suddenly spattered out. Iamaki and the retainers who were closer to the Imagawa family were stunned. They felt the blood on the face of the potted plant and suddenly shivered in fear.
"Protect the master's family!" Only then did the other warriors react and suddenly pulled out the sabers at their waists, and the sound of "choking" was heard one after another.
Li Wei's eyes were cold, and the Tian Yu Yu Zhan in his hand was dyed with red liquid fire, drawing a red line in the air. These warriors could not even make any attacks and were directly killed.
The headless corpse spontaneously ignited and fell to the ground, making the whole of Kyoto feel a little more familiar.
The Imagawa family suddenly fell into a deathly silence. The retainers and family members looked at Levi with only fear in their eyes, and they did not even have the courage to scream.
After killing these samurai, Li Wei did not take action against the Imagawa family, but let the Ashigaru people outside the door come in, pinned these people to the ground and tied them up.
"Search for me, money, food, land deeds, leave nothing behind." Li Wei said to the Ashigaru people.
"Hayin!"
Dozens of ashigaru rushed into the Imagawa's house and uncovered everything that could be searched. Many of the ashigaru who didn't know the situation of the Imagawa's house were tied up again in the yard.
After a while, an ashigaru came to Li Wei cautiously, looking at him with eyes full of fear and awe: "Master, the inventory of the Imagawa family's property has been completed."
"Among them are more than 3,000 shi (more than 300,000 kilograms) of food, hundreds of thousands of money, only the title deeds for more than 80 acres of farmland, and the remaining family documents and 30 retainers. We don't know how much the remaining items are worth.
"
After hearing the numbers reported by Ashigaru, even Levi was shocked and felt that the air he breathed became colder.
In this era, the yield per mu was only about two dan, and even in a bumper harvest it was only three dan. Today, a small and medium-sized family like the Sichuan family can have more than 300,000 jins of grain.
Even if everyone in the Imagawa family did not eat or drink, it would take more than twenty companies to store so much food based on their land.
Even a wealthy family like the Fujiwara family, with nearly a hundred samurai, dozens of ninjas, and hundreds of separate families, with a population that is more than ten times that of the Imagawa family, only has less than about 10,000 koku in stock.
It is conceivable that such a family can rely on the power in their hands to benefit from oppression and exploitation in other places.
"Take them down and bring them to Fujiwara Kanaga. Just tell them that these people don't care whether they live or die." Li Wei said coldly.
"Hahaha...hahaha..." A middle-aged man who was probably in his thirties suddenly laughed wildly. It seemed that he should be the eldest son of the Imagawa family or something.
Pressed down by the samurai, he laughed for a long time before he stopped and said: "Fujiwara family, do you think that if you destroy the Imagawa family, you can take over Kyoto? Do you think that among all the families in Kyoto, which one is cleaner than the Imagawa family?"
"What do you think these three thousand koku of food from the Imagawa family can do? Let me tell you, Kyoto is like this from top to bottom. Do you dare to kill them all? Do you dare? Hahahahahaha!"
"Today's Imagawa family will be your tomorrow's Fujiwara family!"
The eldest son of the Imagawa family laughed wildly. The Fujiwara family had broken the unspoken rules of the aristocratic family circle, so he would have to bear the consequences of breaking the rules.
How Li Wei treats the Imagawa family today will naturally be how the stronger family treats the Fujiwara family. This is the rule of the aristocratic family.
"Oh, then let's destroy them all. If we leave them alone, they are just a waste of rice." Levi just nodded slightly, then waved his hand, motioning for the ashigaru to drag him down.
The man wanted to say something else, but his teeth were shattered with a slap from Ashigaru, and he was dragged away like a dog to death.
As for the rules of noble families, Li Wei didn't know and didn't bother to know.
This kind of thing that is destined to be swept into the methane pit of history is a waste of time. He even scorns family models like the Fujiwara family.
If it were not limited by the times and the productivity and production relations were very primitive, he would have made even greater changes.
Levi, the group of insects from the Fujiwara branch, also knows what they are. Would a guy who can organize a business like Flower Street be a good person?
The only difference between the Fujiwara family and the Imagawa family is that the Fujiwara family is too high-ranking. Except for the tenant farmers who sell themselves to the Fujiwara family, they have no contact with other people at the bottom.
The Fujiwara family's flower street and temple business has always harvested and exploited the middle-class people, and these middle-class people will exploit and squeeze the bottom class to an even greater extent after being harvested by the Fujiwara family. That's all.
The Imagawa family's property was confiscated, and soon a branch of the Fujiwara family came to take over.
After seeing the Imagawa family's property, even the Fujiwara branch member exclaimed "Nani" countless times over the confiscated items.
Before coming here, he had always thought that as a manager of the Fujiwara family's supplies, he had never seen such a scene.
But he had never seen this scene before.
The Imagawa family is just a small and inconspicuous family, and they can steal a quarter of the assets of the Fujiwara family.
The Fujiwara family has been away from other families for too long since they fell into decline. They have never thought about how the current Kyoto family has become so greedy and excessive.
You must know that the outside of the city has basically been lost and occupied by demons and weirdos. The entire Sakura Country has lost more than half of its population and farmland in about a hundred years.
At present, a small half of Kyoto's cultivated land is within the city, and the remaining half is located within a few dozen kilometers of Kyoto. This way, the people of Kyoto can barely starve to death.
And these families are equivalent to cutting off the leek roots of the people at the bottom, and how many of the original working population died in the exploitation and harvest.
The transportation of assets and supplies after the confiscation was handed over to the Fujiwara branch, and Levi directly began to conduct the next round of confiscation according to the list and the ninja's information.
Every time a house was raided, the owner of the house and the samurai who were guarding him were killed, and the remaining people were forced to grow potatoes. If there were still die-hards, they would just leave an extra space under the cherry blossom tree to ashes.
One by one they passed by, and there was basically no room for anyone to bury under the cherry blossom trees.
The Komori family, the Nara family, the Uehara family, and the Shimada family, which was once one of the three major religious families in Kyoto...
