Chapter five hundred and sixty-ninth trenches
The next day in Okazaki Castle, Yishi slipped out alone and arrived at the Qingzhou Castle near Okazaki. After searching for a while, he finally found the sign with the words "Sakataya". Due to the war between Okazaki, there were not many people in the store here. The clerk sat listlessly on the ground, holding the load in his hands bored and shaking randomly. "Is Boss Sunsanro Sakata here?"
"Uh, is the city building? Our store is resting today. Master Warrior, please go and find some farmers next to you." The clerk did not look up, but simply said. It is an era when you are unwilling to make money. After all, the industry committee of the city building is actually a bit dangerous. Generally speaking, this is indeed a good job in peacetime, but at this time, if you leave any flaws for the city, these escaped daimyos will definitely settle the score with him.
"This guy, I just want to ask the boss for something." The crisp Jin Speak voice fell to the ground, and a group of clerks on the side also became energetic. A straightforward and seductive smile appeared in the eyes of the clerks. "I just want to ask where Boss Sakata is, I'm not the samurai who found him to build a city."
"Oh, that's right. The boss is farming in the backyard." The clerk stood up, picked up the Jin Jue on the ground, and rubbed his hands.
“Farm?”
"Yes, radish, beets and other things. Wars are too frequent now, and those daimyos have brought us people to fight, so the boss doesn't feel much about taking on the mission."
Yishi nodded, and made a clear idea. He walked into the fields in the backyard with a small step. In the distance, a man wearing a hat and wearing a coarse cloth dress was sitting on the ground with a hoe on his back. Looking at the vegetables on the ground, the carrots were in a daze. If he didn't say it, he would have thought he was a farmer in the slack farm. The black shadow appeared on the ground in front of Sun Sanro Sakata. The man reacted for a moment and fell backwards. "You don't seem to be a samurai warrior, what's wrong with coming here?" Seeing Yishi's well-dressed, the man quickly became polite.
"I am a samurai from the Tayyama family in the west."
"Dashan family? The storm of the turbulent clan during this period is really enviable." After a compliment, the person's face suddenly changed. "If you want Sakataya to build something in Sanhe, I will not agree. In this era, my money is enough." After glanced at him, he knew what he was coming. Sakata Sunsanro picked up the rake on the ground with his hands and resisted it on his shoulders. "We built this kind of thing to resist the threat of thieves, not to stop peace."
"Peace?"
"Yes, the more cities will only increase the tax burden of farmers and the number of sacrifices. If you use the money you receive to build something, I will never agree."
"No, it's not a city." Yishi grabbed Sun Sanlang's arm. No matter what, he must think that excellent guidance was on the side. "I want you to build a..." After pausing his shield, his eyebrows frowned. "Drain?"
"Do you a canal? OK, I promise you." Hearing that it was an agricultural facility, the person agreed in one breath. "Where is it from? Ise?"
"No, Sanhe."
……………………
"Are you planning to build a canal here?" Sun Sanlang looked at Yishi with some confusion. Not far from the river outside Sanhe City, there was an open space far away from the river. According to Yishi, a canal for drinking water is built here. From outside the city, not far from the estuary to the city, the depth of the canal is one meter, which is really a bit deeper for the estuary. However, Sun Sanlang patted his chest and said that he could complete it within a month. This made Yishi feel relieved.
Yishi fell in love with a lingering heart, but the side of Torichiyo was full of confusion. Did he really decide to stay here? Is it really a matter of making so many canals to diversion? Now is not the time to build agriculture, and this is a troublesome thing.
Night, Sanhanoi Room
On a quiet and terrible night, even the birds disappeared into the night. The water in the courtyard stopped hitting, but water droplets fell from the bamboo tube to the ground. When Tokugawa Ieyasu built this place, it did not make the inner room too luxurious, but just added some interest. The whole house was added with some cultural colors, and even if it ended, the quilt was sewn with a linen blanket.
"Crazy." The door quickly opened. Yishi looked at the panting Toriyo at the door with a surprised look. The tofu on the chopsticks slid on the dining plate. "Sir, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? What are you talking about, those iron cannons?"
"No, it's those canals. You want to fight against the world-famous Takeda army, rather than compete for national strength. Even if you want to build a canal, why not build it here in Ise?" Torichiyo's question was something the ministers asked, but some people did not have the courage.
"Do you think those canals are different from those on weekdays?" I picked up the tofu on the plate with my fresh chopsticks and stuffed it into my mouth.
"It's just a little deeper, and the city is also connected."
"Yes, this is not a canal, but a trench."
"Trench?" Toriyo naturally would not understand this imported word.
Put your hands on the ground, point out thin lines with your fingers, and put the chopsticks on your hands on the ground to explain. "In fact, this is something used for combat, but after the war is over, it can still be used for irrigation. It is not wrong to say that it is a water diversion channel."
"But, how do you use this thing called trench?"
"Thu Chiyo, the iron cannon has been shipped?"
"Yes, are you going to use these things? A short trench cannot stop Takeda's horse riding team." In Tochiyo's opinion, it would be really not worth digging out such a simple trap. For Takeda Shingen, breaking through potholes must be a project that the cavalry needs to train.
"No, the cavalry went over them, but the iron cannon troops hid in it."
"What, hide inside?" These things that are one meter deep are not easy to avoid.
