Chapter 58: Yi Yujing, breaking the unspoken rules
The hot springs had not yet been completely built, at least the houses and the like were still an empty space, but the pool had been built and had been cleaned and covered with pebbles, so it would not be delayed in its use.

However, there is no boiler here and the temperature cannot be adjusted at will, so you have to pay attention to the pool before soaking. The water temperature in some pools is too high. Although it is not high enough to boil eggs, if you really go in, the tea eggs will probably turn into red eggs.

Yan Xu found a pool with suitable water temperature, took off his clothes and leaned comfortably against the pool, putting his arms on both sides of the pool. With the suitable temperature and buoyancy of the water, he felt completely relaxed and wanted to just take a nap.

Unfortunately, he was never able to completely relax, even though the warm pebbles at the bottom of the pool and the hot spring of moderate temperature were indeed very comfortable. He could only empty his mind, close his eyes and try not to think about anything.

This period of time has been very stressful for Yan Xu. He was a useless person in his previous life, and in this life he is a stupid college student. The experiences of both lives combined are useless. Moreover, the feeling of being forced to struggle is not good. He feels tormented and anxious.

But he couldn't escape, nor could he give up. From the moment he chose to open the bronze door, there was no turning back. But the feeling of forcing himself to fight was terrible.

After a while, Yan Xu, whose anxiety relapsed, wiped his face vigorously, opened his eyes wide and looked around nervously.

There was no melodramatic sight of seeing a woman taking a bath. If that really happened, the hatamoto beside him and the ninja hiding in the dark would all have died.

After soaking for an unknown amount of time and feeling a little chest tightness, Yan Xu climbed out of the hot spring, wiped himself clean, put on new clothes, and returned to the castle tower in the cold wind, where he fell asleep under the guard of many hatamoto outside the gate.

However, what Yan Xu did not expect was that, although it had not been fully built yet, the appearance of Guimaruyama Castle still boosted the morale of the native men he recruited. Even if they were not qualified to enter, it could not stop their yearning eyes.

The emergence of a small mountain city can actually bring such cohesion that even the originally subsided tide of surrender has been set off again with a new wave.

The battle with the Fukushima family made the fighting power and treatment of the Moroboshi family widely known, attracting many ronin, samurai and ninjas from nearby.

However, the scope of its spread was limited, and the Moroboshi family was isolated and lacked roots, so after absorbing a wave of idle people around them, fewer and fewer people came to join them.

After all, the Moroboshi family appeared for too short a time, and no one knew when they would disappear again.

But now, even if only the city walls and the castle tower of Onimaruyama Castle were built, it attracted countless moths like torches, which surprised Yan Xu greatly. He had underestimated the attraction of fixed properties.

In fact, it is the same in modern times. Without a company headquarters, no matter how much you brag, it is useless. It is no different from a pyramid scheme.

But if you build a high-end office building, even without advertising, there will be people submitting resumes.

Yan Xu was happy to see this happen. In addition to letting Hui Ruomaru select suitable ronin and samurai, he also asked Mori Shinobu to find suitable talents among them.

To be honest, Yan Xu is not short of soldiers. The system's inexpensive and high-quality troops are enough to meet the needs of any war. What he lacks now is talent, especially talent in internal affairs management and leading troops in combat.

However, talents are not easy to find, because knowledge is monopolized here. Even the ronin that can be seen everywhere have served as soldiers under the daimyo, and at least know how to kill people and how to stand in line on the battlefield.

This is not a joke. Everyone has his own position on the battlefield. If you stand in the wrong position, you will either be chopped by your own people or by the opposite side. It's because you are blocking the way.

This is true for ronin, not to mention samurai. Martial arts is only a part of a samurai's ability. A samurai who only knows how to wield a sword can only be a low-level samurai in his life, because a true samurai, in addition to martial arts, must also know how to read and do arithmetic, have sufficient social experience, and be able to handle things independently.

Because in addition to fighting in battle, warriors also have to undertake tasks such as purchasing, messenger, and diplomacy. Without social experience and a flexible mind, it is not possible, and this often requires someone to teach by example, which ordinary people cannot get. Not to mention talents who understand internal affairs and leading troops, they are either born in famous families or are valued and trained, and rarely wander outside.

As for digging by himself, haha, without any education, even if he is born with supernatural powers and intelligence, what can he do? He has no time and energy to cultivate it himself, nor is he willing to do it.

In order to avoid future troubles, Yan Xu will not bring modern systems and technologies here. He will only follow the existing rules of Japan, so he can only rely on luck or get recommendations from others.

However, Yan Xu never expected that someone would actually recommend a talent to him. Nomura, an ordinary-looking head of the Shimazu family, came to visit with a handsome samurai.

The steep mountain path made Nomura's face look a little solemn. When he saw Sanshan Pass, there was an unconcealable despair in his eyes, because he didn't know what kind of army could break through such a dangerous pass.

The majestic and solid castle tower made Nomura's hands tremble. At the same time, he couldn't understand how the Moroboshi family had accomplished all this in such a short time. Could it be because of some Guandi Saint? !
In any case, Nomura asked for a meeting with a far more respectful attitude than his last time.

Yan Xu sat at the first seat in the castle tower, with the hatamoto on both sides watching the visitor vigilantly. This posture made Nomura couldn't help but lower his head three points more.

Tapping his knees with his fingers, Yan Xu did not speak, but was thinking about the key.

No one pushes talent away unless there is a problem.

In fact, Nomura did not hide anything, because the matter of Yiyu Shizuka was quite a big deal and could not be concealed at all, so the Shimazu family did not dare to accept the other party, and sent the other party with other thoughts.

In fact, it was not a big deal. It was just that Shizuka Ichiha refused the request of the daimyo's son, Kenji Otomo, to stay overnight.

Although Yi Yu Shizuka finally agreed reluctantly under the other party's tough attitude, he was dressed in samurai formal attire, holding a samurai sword and a wakizashi, and after letting his wife fall asleep, he knelt in front of the door all night. This made Otomo Kenji angry and embarrassed, and he was treated unfairly in the Otomo family.

According to common sense, one should be sympathetic to Kazuha Shizuka, because everyone knows what Otomo Kenji's purpose of staying overnight is.

The problem is that the Japanese have been full of perverts since ancient times and never follow the ordinary path, so it is Yi Yujing who suffers from cold violence.

As for whether there are darker intentions involved, there definitely are.

Kazuha Shizuka's wife is famous for her beautiful appearance, and Kazuha Shizuka himself is also a rare handsome man. Otomo Kenji is not the only one who has intentions towards the couple. In fact, Otomo Daimyo has lamented more than once that he wanted to make Kazuha Shizuka his concubine but was rejected.

Since his father failed to succeed, the filial Otomo Kenji decided to help his father make up for his regret, and he wanted to do double the reward, so he insisted on staying overnight at Ichiha Shizuka's house.

However, Yi Yujing's tough attitude ultimately made him return empty-handed and lose face.

This not only offended Otomo Kenji, but also offended the samurai class of the Otomo family, because Ichiba Shizuka's behavior of protecting himself and his wife was violating the unspoken rules.
