"Ho..."
Nobunaga with a look like trying something slapped his hand lightly when he squealed like that.
The entrance is opened, from which the small surname puts the offering in a basin and comes to Nobunaga.
The moment I saw it, Nobunaga's brow moved pickly.
"What...? It's a substitute I've never seen."
The warlords around them also begin to bother when they see the offerings.
That should also be because the substitute offered as a gift is something I have never seen before.
(Good to have, Japanese map book)
What Shizuko offered as a gift, that's a map book sold very normally in modern times.
Moreover, Shizuko's book this time was as thick as the one used by experts.
Shizuko's primary industries, such as agriculture, were mostly close to custom, but of course there were other hobbies.
It's history and geography.
The more time you have, the more you read through history and geography books.
For that reason, I am familiar with history, and there are usually Japanese maps and world maps in my bag.
I was just putting in a Japanese map the day I timeslipped during the Warring States.
(Even during the Edo period, maps were forbidden to be taken out in state secrets. In the Warring States era, it should be a more valuable material treatment. river flow may have been altered by water curing, but still the distance and direction should be accurate)
"Shizuko, what is this? Explain it."
Nobunaga asks as he offers a Japanese map book with a fan.
It also seemed subtly distant, but curiosity was stronger than that.
Shizuko nods once and moves to Nobunaga's sight. Only Japanese maps are in between.
"Let me explain"
That being said, Shizuko opened a Japanese map book.
Nobunaga observes with interest the act of opening Shizuko's book.
In the Warring States era, there was no such thing as a bookmaking technique, and books and other good, Japanese paper were spelled out with strings.
Typically, rolls and woodwinds are the standard. You've never seen or heard of a book spelled with paste.
But what surprised Nobunaga the most was the fact that it was color-printed.
A brightly colored piece of paper I've never seen, that was enough to stimulate his curiosity.
(We need to get this map in consideration so you can give up the salt...)
I think so. She hasn't noticed.
That the act of making Nobunaga think he needs himself has created a small ripple in the gigantic flow of history.
Small ripples, now it slowly made waves and spread.
Two months have passed since Shizuko came to the village.
The season was changing from spring to summer, and sunny days continued every day around this time.
Then the weeds will be drained or water dispersed in moderation.
But even though it was an easy time, Shizuko was exhaling heavily and dropping her shoulders.
That's because a problem was discovered.
"Ha... I wonder what kind of beast control we can put in place..."
That's vermin control. Even in the days of Shizuko, some areas were severely damaged.
Although the damage amounted to tens of millions of yen or crops could hardly be taken, the biggest problem was that farmers were less motivated.
Decreasing farmers' willingness to farm becomes a dead and alive problem in warring times.
"I wonder what methods are effective..."
As things stand, the damage is not that serious, but by summer it is imperative that it rise to dangerous levels.
There's no point in growing them in large quantities, but all of them are eaten by the beasts.
"Tell me what you know about the sky, Tango, the beast."
Shizuko speaks to a villager nearby who is weed draining, a woman named Osky and a man named Tango.
The man seemed desperate to drain the grass, but the woman noticed Shizuko's voice.
"Whatever it is, you have a ton of deer. I used to have foxes and weasels too...... I stopped looking these days because of too many deer. Well, there are some pigs..."
"Hmm, deer......"
For the farmers of the time, there will basically be four types of vermin: deer, pigs, foxes and weasels.
The worst of them all is the deer. It has a troublesome nature that is highly reproducible in any way and becomes nocturnal during the hunting season.
It always shines first in crop damage caused by vermin.
(Almost no damage from other animals in the story...... or is the deer dominating a nearby area making it harder for other animals to live?
The absence of foxes and weasels makes it easier because you don't have to work out new measures, but then it depends on how much deer you can catch.
(Modern times even require cumbersome procedures for the disposal of deer, but an important source of protein in this era. If it's full, I guess it's Better to capture a lot of it and make dried meat, and outdo the hunger with it)
At the earliest possible time, at the end of September, we must have the means to surpass the paste mouth by then.
Shizuko receives regular food because he is only under Kasei Mori's command, but the villagers do not.
If there are a large number of deer, there is no hand in not using it as food.
(Once you have the sweet potatoes, you will be able to secure enough food. Until then, we need to get pork and deer meat... but the problem is the way...)
The gun itself is an expensive item (roughly 500,000 yen at modern prices), not in an era where shotguns are easily available.
Most importantly, gunpowder that shoots bullets is a precious commodity, so hunting deer with guns is unrealistic.
(You can't get natural nitrous stones in Japan... is that it? Wait...)
That's when something caught on the back of Shizuko's brain.
As I immediately dug up my memories, I remembered an important piece of information.
(Hmmm... the ingredients are going to be purchased if I ask the woods... I can't say it too much. It's going to take months to get everything ready and build a basement. But, well, if you're ready, no worries, and I guess I'll do it for once. Well, let's just say... I can't think of a good idea for deer control)
When the thought was on the sidewalk, another idea came to mind, static, but nothing came to mind about the key beast control.
(The deer are breeding in large numbers because there are no carnivores to be natural enemies. Then let the wolf live...? No, you can't. It doesn't necessarily mean you'll live there, and most importantly, it's too long)
Even today, deer and pigs thrive in large numbers because of the extinction of the natural enemy, the Nihon Wolf.
But it is possible that he is still alive during the Warring States. Because there is a record of Seabolt raising both wolves and Yamaine during the Edo period.
(If so, I'll set a trap quickly... it's hard to prevent it with a net like a bird...)
When I looked over my head with chillies, the net looked full of vision.
As a bird beast control, the farm was completely covered with a simple net made of straw.
It took nearly a month to create, but it prevents most bird damage.
(For one thing, make a passage like a gate and invite it... guide...!?
Moments later, Shizuko remembered her conversation when she was having discussions with her grandfather over deer control.
My grandfather had important information in his mouth at that time, it was knowledge that was fully available even in warring times.
"Well...... should I make a path that deer, the animal with the puppet hooves, will never get through!
"Wow, I'm surprised!
Tago's work surprised Shizuko, who suddenly shouted.
The sky wasn't so surprised because it wasn't close, but I was still surprised by Shizuko, who shouted out suddenly.
"(Hey Sky, did the village chief come up with something odd again?
When Tango moves near the sky, he whispers in a way that makes him ear pounding.
"(I guess not. But the village chief is really knowledgeable, isn't he? Good and that's all that floats)"
"(Sure...... I didn't know it at first, but it was the first time I tried it and found out how effective it was)"
"(From what we talked about, didn't you come up with a plan to do something about the deer? Well, they'll be used again, and it'll be tough -)"
"(Well...)"
When they saw Shizuko crouching into the ground and writing something, they felt like they could hear the screams of the work group.
And the hunch later finds out what happened.
A little over a week after Shizuko came up with something, strange tricks became narrow around the farm.
The villagers, who had not yet received a detailed explanation, had no idea what this was.
But since I have been successful in Shizuko's way so far, I had the optimistic thought that it would work somehow.
"Yeah, yeah, that's perfect. Travasami and Texas Gate"
Shizuko, who was responsible for what looked like a stick, nodded contentedly when she saw the trick in front of her.
I thought it was good for piercing. Most importantly, next year we will expand the farm so this is the only trick we have.
"Modern Japan is an illegal trabasami, but in this day and age, it's not a problem to use it."
With that said, Shizuko waves something like a stick in her hand.
It was a stick with a crack at the end of a length of about a meter.
A string had been bracketed with a wide range of parts that could enclose the stone on the tip, but not the opposite.
They seemed to hook me from appearance to crack.
"And get a Ranged Attack with this Catapult (Stuff Sling). It's supposed to be just strings, but the principle of this increases the range and power, so it's better this way. It could be the worst spear replacement weapon."
Catapults (staff slings).
The total length is about one meter, the weight is 300 to 500 grams, and the range is about 100 to 150 meters.
A weapon used from the fourth century BC to modern times, the advantage is that it boasts a flying distance no less than a bow.
On the other hand, the downside is that it takes a little time to throw and it puts it in a streak.
Shizuko also attached a slightly pointed iron appliance to the stone-piercing portion.
As a result, the center of gravity is stabilized in the center, and the pattern is protected when protruding to the ground.
Not as sharp as a blade, but still so striking that it doesn't hurt if you get poked.
"Uh, village chief. I don't know what to say, but what are we going to do...?
"Shit, I'm gonna show you how that trap works."
"Ha..."
Shizuko and several villagers hiding in the bushes below the wind (...) than on the farm.
But other than Shizuko, I had no idea what it meant to be hidden or what the trap meant.
(Hundreds of rooms are unlikely at first sight. This kind of thing works faster than an explanation, huh?)
When I thought so for about 30 minutes, the deer appeared.
Apparently, it was an individual coming down from the mountain, and there were about nine of them in all.
"Three... four... Four are males because the corners are big, and the rest are females."
"Quite a few..."
The villagers were slightly frightened when they had never seen so many at once on the boulder.
After all, does a flock have instinctive fear for humans?
With that in mind, one individual was headed straight for Texas Gate.
"Oh, I'm almost there... look, guys, that's the effect of the trap"
Straight the deer proceed towards the Texas Gate.
But after a few steps, I was completely unable to move.
The deer squeals, unable to advance forward or backward.
"Ooh."
The villagers raise their voices of admiration.
The deer caught in the Texas gate couldn't move forward or backward.
Besides, the deer that cannot be moved are in the way and the subsequent deer cannot move forward.
"Get one protein source. Well, I guess I'll get caught up in the traversami later."
The moment I squealed like that, the deer screams echoed around.
It was so loud that the deer on the spot fled to the spot where they were at first sight.
When I saw those who rang, one deer was pinched in the foot by a trabassami.
"Two... not bad."
Shizuko muttered contentedly when she saw the superior achievement.
