After all, how could the samurai lords be so kind-hearted? As long as they didn't suddenly decide to test their blades on a few random passersby, that would be a blessing. How could they be so benevolent and kind?
Only fools would believe that!
It's really like the previous generation chopping the tree and the subsequent generation exposing it to the sun. The Japanese Samurai, on a daily basis, created all sorts of excuses, beyond the regular tribute and direct hire, there were additional levies like "Duānqián," "Dòngbiéqián," "Jiādi," "Military Rations," "Mǎjièqián," all kinds of extortion, draining the villagers to the bone, squeezing out every drop of profit, ruining their reputation to the point of no return. And then Yuanye appeared, a traveler from another time, getting caught up in the mess, trying to do some good deeds to earn respect in vain, because nobody would believe in him.
