I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 Looking at the small bowl of gruel on the ground in front of him, Ogata sighed long.

　　 muttered softly:

　　 "I really want to eat meat..."

　　 Although Ogata is a samurai, his life is really hard.

　　In terms of living standards, it is still not as good as some farmers.

　　 Although the samurai was the ruling class in the Edo period, there are actually many classes of samurai.

　　The most advanced samurai is naturally the shogun.

　　 In the Edo period, the nominal leader of Japan was the emperor, but the actual supreme ruler in the country was actually the Tokugawa shogun.

　　The samurai, one rank lower than the shogun, are the lords of each domain.

　　 The so-called "fans" can be understood as the fiefs of vassals, and the high-ranking warriors who ruled these vassals are called "Daimyo".

　　 In the Edo period, the "shogunate system" was pursued.

　　 Shogunate system-a system established by Tokugawa Ieyasu under the common rule of the shogunate and the feudal clan.

　　 Under the shogunate system, the shogun was the supreme ruler of Japan, and the shogunate was the country’s highest organ of government.

　　The shogunate ruled the vassal states all over the country. The ruler of each feudal clan was the daimyo, who was loyal to the shogunate, and the shogunate implemented an alternate attendance system for them.

　　 daimyo still has a lot of independence, they have administrative, judicial, military, and taxation powers in their own territory.

　　 Make an image metaphor-the shogunate is similar to the Chinese emperor Zhou, who is the lord of the world.

　　 And the names of the han dynasties are similar to the princes who were entrusted by the emperor Zhou, and they have extremely high autonomy in their respective fiefdoms.

　　 Shoguns directly control a quarter of the country's land.

　　 The other three quarters of the land were all entrusted to the daimyo.

　　The ones who are lower than the daimyo are the samurai who have no fief.

　　 Even the samurai who have no fief, are divided into quite a few levels.

　　 Ogata belongs to the lower-level samurai.

　　 Ogata is a samurai of the Hirose clan.

　　 Hirose Clan was a feudal clan in the Izumo region. It was a small feudal clan with a relatively small fief and no presence throughout the country.

　　Ogata can only receive 50 shibei per year.

　　石 is a unit of volume.

　　 The so-called annual salary of 50 shi means that Ogata can receive 50 shi from the feudal clan every year.

　　 And one stone of rice is probably enough for an adult man to eat for one year.

　　 As it sounds, Ogata’s annual salary seems to be very high. The amount of rice he can receive each year is enough for 50 adult men to eat for a year.

　　 However-in fact, Ogata's salary is so low that he may not be able to support a family of three.

　　Because Ogata still needs money to buy daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

　　 Therefore, he had to exchange his salary, that is, this pile of rice, into money.

　　 If you exchange money for rice with a merchant, you will inevitably be depressed by the merchant.

　　 After going back and forth like this, it is difficult for a family of three at 50 shi to feed.

　　 But because Ogata's parents both died, he is the only one left in the family.

　　 So if one person lives alone, the salary of 50 shi is still enough for Ogata to survive.

　　 It’s just—and it’s not going to be too moisturized.

　　 Ogata basically can only eat gruel for three meals a day.

　　 If you don’t eat gruel all at once, Ogata might be in danger of starving to death...

　　 Struggling on the food and clothing line-this is the life portrayal of Ogata as a samurai inferior.

　　 Even if Ogata is rich, he can't eat meat.

　　 Because ancient Japan didn't eat meat at all.

　　 You can't buy meat if you have money

　　In ancient Japanese recipes, the only thing that was mixed with meat was fish-based aquatic products.

　　 More than half a century later, after the founding of Japan at the end of the shogunate, Japanese talents will gradually begin to eat meat.

　　 From moving the chopsticks to putting down the tableware, Ogata's mouth opened only 4 times.

　　 only opened his mouth 4 times before eating up this small bowl of gruel.

　　 After the warm gruel, the torturous feeling of fasting slowly dissipated.

　　 Although I no longer feel fasting, I also don’t feel full.

　　 After eating, Okinawa fell into a state of doing nothing.

　　 This is the Edo period, which is the end of the 18th century.

　　Naturally, there are not many entertainment activities for Ogata's pastime.

　　 Even if I insist on having some fun, I can still find many pleasant things to spend the night in this era.

　　 But these pleasant things, without exception, require a lot of money.

　　The family disciple on the walls, Ogata who can only rely on gruel for every meal, naturally can't have the money to go to the rich "nightlife".

　　 With nothing to do, Ogata simply held the only two valuable things in his house--his two knives, and sat in a corner of the house, looking at the empty home in a daze.

　　 After inexplicably crossing into the Edo period, Okinawa played three swords in a row. His nerves were always in a state of high tension, and he had no time to think about other things.

　　 I am back home now and have nothing to do. The nerves that had been tense have gradually relaxed.

　　As soon as his nerves slackened, all kinds of strange thoughts popped up in Ogata's mind one after another.

　　 "Why did I suddenly travel to the Edo period in Japan..."

　　 Ogata whispered in a low volume that only he could hear.

　　 Before he traveled to the Edo period, Ogata's memory was frozen in his reading in the study.

　　 Ogata likes to read, especially history books, and is very interested in European history.

　　 Although I love European history, I also have a certain understanding of Japanese history.

　　 Ogata only remembered that he was reading a book in the study, and seeing that he was suddenly a little sleepy, he closed the book and lay on the table for a nap.

　　 After opening his eyes again, UU reads www. uukanshu. Com he came to the Edo period, and became Ogata Yishi, comparing swords with others in the Sakura Wara Sword Museum.

　　 Ogata doesn’t even know whether his current era is the Edo period of Japan when he is on the earth.

　　 The era he is now in is a parallel world, or the Edo era in Japan on another earth-this kind of thing is not impossible.

　　 But according to the memory in his mind, the historical development trajectory of the era he is now in is completely consistent with the historical development trajectory of the earth's Edo period.

　　 It was Tokugawa Ieyasu's victory in the battle of Sekigahara and the opening of the shogunate in the Edo area, which brought Japan into the Tokugawa shogunate era.

　　 And this year is the first year of Kuanzheng, replaced by the year of AD, it is 1789.

　　 The "Tianming Great Hunger" that caused countless deaths and injuries has just passed.

　　 The shogun who is currently in power is the eleventh generation of generals who just took the throne — Tokugawa Ieaki.

　　 All the historical memories that Ogata brings to Ogata are completely consistent with the history of Japan that Ogata has learned from earth books.

　　 Judging from all the information currently known-Ogata's current era should not be the Edo era of a parallel world.

　　 But this conclusion is not absolute.

　　 After all-maybe something will happen tomorrow that is totally inconsistent with the history of Japan recorded in earth books.

How did I travel through it, how did the system in my brain come from? Is the era in which I am now in the Edo era of the parallel world? After thinking about this question for a while, Ogata give up.

　　Because these problems belong to you who want to break your head, you may not be able to think of a problem.
