During this period of the Warring States Period in Japan, most farmers could not afford to build wooden houses. Take the small mud wooden house where Masayoshi lives now for example. That is, first build a few wooden pillars to surround the house, then build a soil foundation with a few wooden pillars as the basis, slowly build a mud wall, and finally build a branch and thatch on the roof.

Now Zhengliang actually found a corridor supported by wooden pillars. There was a small pond in the middle of the corridor on both sides, which looked like a southern garden in Ming Dynasty. Zhengliang walked forward along the corridor on the right. The corpse of the bandits who had fallen here had been removed by Zuqing, but there were still a pool of blood. At the end of the corridor, it was divided into three doors on the left, middle and right. The gate in the middle is the tallest, and it should be the hall of convention. You could vaguely hear some crying of women and children on the left. Zuqing was probably gathering people in the inner house to the gate of the village. The right side was quiet, and there seemed to be no one.

Zhengliang walked into the central committee of the meeting hall, which was relatively empty, but Zhengliang found that the floor was actually wooden flooring, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Even if it was laid with rotten wooden boards, it was enough to show that these bandits were very wealthy.

Just as Masayori was amazed at the wealth of the bandits, there were rapid footsteps behind him. Masayori turned around and saw that it was his little surname Sahararo. Sahararo quickly came to Masayori, knelt down on his knees, performed a retainer's ritual, and then said excitedly with a red face, "Your Highness, we have found several caves in the yard on the right, which contain a lot of food."

"Let's go, take me to see," Zhengliang said immediately.

Masara then went to the yard on the right accompanied by Sahararo. There were three lights in the yard in front of the cave excavated by the mountain wall. After seeing Masarara arrive, he quickly saluted. Masarara nodded and walked into the cave. The cave was not big, about 20 cubic meters, but nearly half of the space was occupied by a pile of miscellaneous grains covered with grass. Masarara approached the pile of grains and pulled out the thatch, grabbed a handful of miscellaneous grains, and looked carefully. These miscellaneous grains seemed to be mixed with several kinds of grains. Masarara recognized that there were at least 90% of them. Masarara roughly estimated that the pile of miscellaneous grains was at least 500 stones. He looked at all the grottoes with 5 grottoes in total. Each grotto had a large amount of miscellaneous grains. It was initially estimated that there were at least 2,000 stones.

After getting this batch of food, Masaru was extremely excited, and the food problem in the territory was finally solved. At the same time, Masaru was also surprised that since the food was discovered, it was probably not too small, but there were no reports of the discovery of the property so far. It seemed that some people familiar with the situation here were looking for it. Thinking of this, Masaru ordered Sahararo behind him, "Go and find Yukisuke."

"Yes, Your Highness" Sahararo took the order and left.

Soon Yusuke came to Masaru's presence, "Your Highness", Yusuke bowed his knees and saluted.

Looking at Yukisuke, whose eyes were slightly red, Masara was swallowed by the words that Masara was about to instruct Yukisuke to immediately search for the property of a copycat, and asked, "How is it? Is your wife and daughter rescued?" Looking at the man in front of him who had obviously just cried, Masara was also moved. According to Masarara's understanding of this era, women are often equivalent to political tools, but at this moment, Masarara found that this guy who has always been timid and afraid of death resolutely surrendered to him for his wife and daughter and helped him attack the copycat. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that true love also exists in this era.

"Yes, Your Highness, I found them in the dungeon, but I was a little scared. Now I'm fine and settled in the inner courtyard. Thank you for your help. I will follow Your Highness to the death." Yukisuke kowtowed with gratitude.

"That's good, settle them first," Zhengliang paused and continued, "and then immediately organized people to search the entire copycat, especially the Dashi family and the Banshi family. You can't miss even a piece of rice." Zhengliang pointed to several caves in the yard and said eagerly.

"Your Highness, your men are currently clearing the remaining threats of the copycat, and gathering the rest of them into the open space in front of the copycat gate. The remaining men are insufficient," Yukisuke replied carefully.

"Well, Dongxiang Heiji will lead the patrol team to arrive later and ask him to hand over the patrol team to you." Masara thought for a while and asked these little guys to search for property. "But you must ensure that even if you are a piece of food and a penny of copper coins are not missed," Masarara stared at Yukisuke and emphasized again.

"Yes, Your Highness, I am quite familiar with the situation of the village and will definitely be able to find property." Feeling the lord's earnest expectations, Yukisuke immediately kowtowed and replied loudly. This is the time to express his loyalty.

"Very good, so before Heiji Dongxiang arrives, take me to that secret warehouse to take a look." Zhengliang has been thinking about this treasure house, which has thousands of coins of copper there. Although it cannot be used for the time being, who would dislike the wealth?

"Your Highness, the warehouse is in the back mountain of the mountain. The entrance to the back mountain only passes through a small wood. There are many traps in the rest of the place, and no one is allowed to approach it," Yukisuke briefly introduced.

"Well, let's go." Leave a Zuqing to guard the grotto and wait for Heiji Togo. Masara took the other two Zuqing and two young surnames, led by Yukisuke to the back mountain of the mountain village.

Bypassing several huts, he came to a small wood. "Your Highness, when you passed through the small woods in front, it was the back mountain. When the old leader was still the leader of the village, the entrance of the small woods was guarded by the old leader's relatives warriors. After Banishi Daro became the leader, the guards here were much weakened. If he hadn't wanted to be disturbed by others, he wouldn't even send someone to guard them." Yukisuke said while accompanying Masarara into the woods.

After walking along the path of the woods for about a quarter of an hour, I soon heard a sound of flowing water hitting the water surface. Hearing the sound, he quickly walked out of the woods, and what appeared in front of me was a pool of about 15 square meters. On the other end of the pool was the rock wall of the highest peak of the wild mountain. The spring water on the mountain gathered along the stone wall and then poured down to form a small waterfall. It was indeed a good place to enjoy it.

"Your Highness, please go here." He gently awakened Masaru, who was fascinated by the scenery in front of him, and Yukisuke turned into the woods again along the pool. In front of an ancient tree full of vines, Yukisuke stopped. "Your Highness, behind this big tree, there is a crack that leads to the secret warehouse. Please come with me." After saying that, Yukisuke took the lead behind the ancient tree, bent down, gently pulled up several vines, and drilled into the vines sideways.

Leaving two feet to guard the outside, Masayoshi and two little kids also got into the vines. The vines were actually loose, with a rock crack more than 1 meter wide behind the vines. Through the cracks covered with vines, Masayoshi soon found himself walking into a naturally formed well-shaped valley, which was about 50 square meters. Yukisuke was standing in front of a rock wall at this moment.

"Your Highness, there are nine grottoes here, five of which contain some copper coins, one store some weapons, and the rest contain some scattered debris," Yukisuke said, pointing to several grottoes in the stone wall. Masayoro quickly walked to a grotto gate, opened the gate of the grotto and walked in. The grotto was not big, and it was obvious that the grotto was originally formed naturally. Later, it was built with tools. Seven or eight small wooden boxes of different styles were placed in the center of the grotto. When he opened it, he found that it was full of copper coins, and there were also several gold and silver judging.

Zhengliang picked up a piece of gold casually. Because it was sealed for a long time, it was not only covered with dust, but the color of the gold was also a little dim, and it was probably not high. Putting down the gold, Zhengliang looked at the copper coins in the wooden box again. The copper coins were of various types, and some even had only one hole, and the color was different.

"Huh?" Zhengliang picked up one of the copper coins, his face full of surprise. The words on the copper coins turned out to be Chinese characters. Zhengliang remembered that this copper coins were Yongle Tongbao. This is a good thing in later generations and can be sold for a lot of money.

"Yosuke, how many coins are there here?" Masarara asked Yukisuke behind him while looking at the coins in front of him.

"Your Highness, these are the savings of the old leader and the father of the old leader for more than 40 years. According to the description of the old and young masters at that time, there were more than 1,000 stagnants of copper coins in these caves, and there was no clear record of gold and silver judgments," said Yukisuke.

"Will they not use so many coins to sell food and other needs? Why do they still have to continue to be bandits?" The savings of more than 40 years have not been used much? Is this a fool? Are these two fathers and sons a slave to the wealth? Zhengliang couldn't help but wonder.

"Your Highness, the location of the parcel is relatively remote, so it is difficult to find merchants. If you take these coins to a territory with merchants far away, you will be easily attacked halfway. The tyrants around you are more hostile to the old leaders, so it is impossible to exchange things with us. After all, many of these coins were stolen from them. Moreover, once the tyrants and bandits around you know that so much wealth has been accumulated in the parcel, it is easy to cause them to jointly deal with the parcel," Yukisuke analyzed.

"Even if these tyrants are unwilling to exchange other items, those ordinary farmers will always be willing," Zhengliang continued.

"Your Highness" Yukisuke smiled bitterly, "It is good for farmers to avoid starving to death. They cannot have surplus grain left. This is a bitter and cold place. Food is the most popular. Coins are not easy to use. Not only farmers, but also many local tyrants are like this."

"Well, in this case, we will also face the situation where we have money but no place to use it," Zhengliang sighed.

"Your Highness, if we master the estuary, this problem can be solved," Yukisuke suggested.

"Well, this is also a solution. Let's discuss this issue later. Let's go to other warehouses to take a look." Zhengliang nodded slightly and said.
Chapter completed!
