$ Chapter 347 6. Three Spears and Dragonfly Cuts in the World
The boss just opens his mouth, and the younger brother runs his legs off.
Yamauchi Yoshikatsu has already spoken, and Kobayata has no choice but to be more careful this time.
First, let Denuemon, who has returned to start the work, make it clear that Kobayata has a special request, and the house needs a bathroom. Even a single room with a wooden tub is fine, this is one point.
Although taking a bath every day in this era is a luxury and waste, the firewood for boiling water is not a small expense. And Kobayata also wants to build a small pool where several people can take a bath, and the cost is really not something that an ordinary little samurai can afford.
So if someone travels through time and mixes with these middle and lower-level samurai, it is hard to say whether they will be knocked down by certain smells.
Another request of Kobayata is not easy to solve. Kobayata also wants a toilet. But there is no special sewer in Fuchū Castle. If you build a toilet at home, there is no place to drain the water. Otherwise, it is not difficult to get a flush toilet. At most, you can add water manually.
In the end, they could only use the chamber pot, which was too inconvenient. Xiao Pingtai simply considered digging a septic tank in the open space behind the house and hiring people to pick up the manure every month.
Use a ceramic water pipe to connect the toilet inside the house and the septic tank outside the house, so that you can avoid peeing in the wild and the embarrassment of going out to empty the night incense every day.
But this area is full of samurai houses. Dig a septic tank in the middle of the samurai house? Xiao Pingtai was afraid of being scolded to death, so she couldn't do such a thing that affected harmony.
Then she could only go outside the city, but the cost was high. At least a thousand meters of sewer pipes had to be laid, and it passed through many houses, so the construction progress would be greatly delayed.
After several considerations, Xiao Pingtai still felt that it should be done, and it should not be done by herself. It would be best to persuade the samurai who passed by and let them all install a toilet at home.
Others disagreed, but the women in their families would definitely agree. After all, it was more inconvenient for women to go to the toilet.
Moreover, such a long sewer cannot be simply made of pottery. It needs to be paved with stone slabs and plastered. Kobayata's expenses will be several hundred more kan. It is probably not realistic to ask others to pay for it, but it is not a big problem to do him a favor.
…
Kobayata has made all the arrangements, and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu also went to the capital with the wooden sign of Yamauchi stables Shinshu no Kami.
The boss has set off, and as a younger brother, I can only take Tatsumi and Nabe nosuke with me. Nanaki stays at home with Kobayata's 200 iron cannon foot soldiers. After all, daily training and guarding still need someone to watch these standing foot soldiers.
Aji pretends to be Kobayata's guard, but in fact he takes the opportunity to fish. How much military power can he have? He is still on a business trip with Kobayata. Everyone knows that Kobayata is willing to spend money on food, and he can eat meat with him.
The four of them walked briskly. Although Nabe nosuke is only ten years old, his pace is not slow at all. Although everyone took care of him and didn't let him carry straw sandals and bags, it was not easy for him to keep up with adults at such a young age.
Kobayata was the most relaxed. He had already changed the Kiso horse under his crotch. The horse he bought earlier was getting weaker and was used by Kobayata to be a packhorse for his foot soldiers. When the war was about to start, they didn't have to run with Kobayata to carry ammunition and other things.
After crossing the Ina Kaido and going down to the Totomi River, Kobayata still wanted to go to Hamamatsu to take a boat, so that he could enter Ise Bay in one day, and maybe even spend the night under Kiyosu Castle. The waterway was much safer than the landway, after all, there were no big pirates on this ocean.
When he arrived in Hamamatsu, Kobayata naturally had a good meal with Ataka Kiyokusa, Shimizu Yoshitsugu, Omura Masuji and others from Hamamatsu. They were all old people when Kobayata was the castle lord in Hamamatsu. It was reasonable to have a chance to meet them and exchange feelings.
Several people toasted each other and talked about their hearts. Kobayata also specifically requested the people in Hamamatsu that if there was any warrior who was good at using a spear in Hamamatsu, they must invite him to stay. Let him teach Nabenosuke spearmanship, and if he could make him his retainer, that would be even better.
This kind of small matter is easy to deal with, but the boat ride is not. Thanks to the fierce Little Ice Age, the westerly wind that should have stopped is still blowing fiercely. Many ships in Hamamatsu Port heading to Ise Bay cannot leave, and even large ships that can withstand the wind are unwilling to risk going out to sea.
Kobayata has his life on his shoulders, so of course there is no way to delay. He can only go to Owari by land.
The first stop is naturally Yoshida Castle. After all, Yoshida Castle Lord Udono Nagateru is currently holding a pro-Yamauchi stance. Although he is still an independent countryman, in order to resist the Oda faction in Western Mikawa, he has long been in secret with the Yamanouchi family.
...
When Kobayata and his party arrived at Yoshida, they were naturally warmly received by Udono Nagakatsu and his group. After all, he still considered the Yamanouchi family as one of his retreat routes. Although the Udono family is now the leader of the East Mikawa people and the nominal leader of the people's self-government, it is just a face-saving thing.
"His Highness Yoshida is well." Kobayata always has to do the work of appearance. It won't lose a piece of meat to call someone His Highness verbally.
"Oh, I'm so polite." Udono Nagakatsu looked flattered, but he didn't show off at all. He came over and held Kobayata's hand and entered Yoshida Castle.
The two of them linked their arms, as friendly as a boyfriend and girlfriend, and talked and laughed all the way into the residence in Yoshida Castle.
Udono Nagakatsu naturally asked Koyata where he was going and what he was doing. Koyata told the truth without hiding anything. As expected, there was a quick flash of displeasure on Udono Nagakatsu's face, but he immediately concealed it and pretended to be indifferent.
Seeing his dissatisfaction, Koyata felt relieved. At least Udono Nagakatsu was really unhappy with the Oda clan, and the Oda clan would definitely face strong resistance in Higashi-Mikawa.
The wide marching road in the Kaido area cannot be taken, and the rugged mountain road in the Kiso Valley? If Yamanouchi Oda really fights, Koyata is confident that he can drag the war for ten or eight years and drag you to death.
Yamanouchi Yoshiharu has been in Hamamatsu for a year, and it seems that he has also worked hard to win over the Udono clan's group of Higashi-Mikawa people. Although Udono Nagakatsu was dissatisfied, he still "got close" to Koyata.
After the two sides had a hypocritical exchange, the sex scene came up.
There are not many opportunities to make friends with Koyata, a senior official of Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu, and Udono Nagakatsu will not let it go. Koyata also expected that he would give him something, but it was up to Koyata to accept it or not.
"Danzheng, Mikawa is poor, and there are no special local products, so this is the only thing we can give." Udono Nagakatsu clapped his hands, and two attendants entered the house holding a one-meter-long wooden box.
"What is this?" Koyata thought to himself, you can't give me a famous sword, right? It's a pity that Koyata can't use it very well.
"A famous item forged by Mino Masada, Mikawa Bunju School, Fujiwara no Daifu, and Masamune."
"Tomikiri!"
