Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

"How did you cure cough disease? is it"

Shizuko mouths Nobunaga's question as she strokes the painful part.

As usual, Nobunaga's fist bones were painful, but the pain quickly withdrew as he seemed to be doing quite a bit of relief.

I wanted her to call me normally, I zeroed my stupidity, but she was out of sight after receiving the jito eyes that said something about Odd Maru and the educator.

"No matter how, nothing, you just created an effective environment to cure the disease, right? Because there are hundreds of different causes of cough disease in the first place, it is impossible to make special effects."

There are no special effects on cough disease or cold. Therefore, there is no alternative to relying on the immune system that humans have.

Shizuko only created an environment in which its immune system worked efficiently.

"Is that all? Didn't you use some sort of Nanban secret or something?

Nobunaga, who was briefed by one street, accidentally overlapped the question.

"As I said earlier, I have not found any special effects on cough disease to the best of my knowledge. There's no other way to rely on the healing power that humans are born with."

(It's easy to say immune function, but I don't think people from the Warring States have the basics around it. Ugh... Medicine is out of specialty so it's hard to chew it up and explain)

"Hmm... Since there are hundreds of causes, can't you make special effects?"

"Cough disease can be cured with the various functions that your body has. Any medication will not cure you immediately. In some cases, it can get even worse."

There is no other way to cure a cold than to leave it to your body, but it is a legend in modern times.

Regardless, symptomatic treatments such as antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment may be taken when life is in danger due to a rapid fever.

Antibiotics and the like can be called special effects in a certain sense, but are discounted because they deviate from the main muscle.

In other words, it is precisely "to become".

Give me a concrete example.

Nobunaga, who was not good at one thing right now, urges Shizuko to explain what he means.

"Cough disease can have symptoms such as slight fever or fever, over-secreting of nose juice, coughing, sneezing, loss of appetite, and vomiting. Well, assuming, as far as I can tell, cough disease is an invisibly small organism… it develops when something called germs enters the body."

……

"(Increase your body temperature and improve your immune system. I mean, making white blood cells work more active than flat fever... you don't know. Let's say germs are susceptible to heat) All in all, this germ is susceptible to heat. For this reason, fever kills germs in which the human body is foreign, so the temperature of one's body… is a reaction that raises the body temperature and tries to repel it. But if you raise your temperature, you can compare the germs to your patience because they come unwell to your body. Sneezing is an attempt to regulate your body temperature. Rhinorrhoea, coughing, and vomiting are all acts of trying to get out the bad things in your body."

……

"Then... loss of appetite is a little tricky. Let's talk about people's bodies first...... When we eat food and build strength, we are first chewing the food into small pieces with our teeth, carrying it through our throats to our stomachs, where we are transforming the food into a form that can be dissolved in drools and taken into our bodies. This series of flows is called digestion."

……

"(Mm, silence is hard......! Ugh, I don't know if I can explain it properly) Um, actually, this is an unexpected act of using physical strength. It takes a lot of effort to digest if you eat hard or large food or a lot of food. Even if you use more health in the long run, you get it by discount because you can take that much food into your body. But in an emergency called a disease (Yamai), it's still like a battlefield (Saitaba) … To put it plainly, it's a warning from your body that you're doing everything you can to get rid of an enemy called germs and you don't have time to farm fields for long. If you decipher them by mistake, it will only exacerbate your cough."

Weird circles turned away slightly.

Perhaps, but I couldn't help but eat, Shizuko expected.

"I see, although there are parts of our body that we don't understand, we have resistance to the disease from the beginning, right?

"You're right. It works to eliminate the external enemies your body has and try to keep you healthy, which we call natural healing power. That's the biggest cure for cough disease."

"Weapons must always be taken care of. If you fail to take care of it, it's useless when you have to."

"Yes, you're right. It's about how to take care of it, but Ming has the idea of medical and food homology. This is the idea that medicines to cure the disease and what you eat every day are the same origin. Thinking about daily food and treating diseases, this is called dietary cure. A way to practice this is through medicinal meals. Well... if you put it the way you don't have a body or a lid, let's get a meal that was in good shape every day,"

"Let me hear it later around there. So that's the last question. What is best to do if you have cough disease"

"It is important to avoid draining excess strength, get moisture, and eat a small amount of soft porridge objects, promptly place a bucket of water in the four corners of the room to warm the room (increase humidity), and dress warmly to rest well. And don't be afraid of coughing. Cough disease is a natural health method. After you have cough disease, your body will be clean as if the snake were going to peel off."

"Ho, that's an interesting idea inside. I like it."

Shizuko almost said what, but she decided to swallow the words.

Because I wanted to spare myself from saying bad things and seeing more questioning attacks.

(Still, it's really greedy knowledge)

Nobunaga has asked me an immediate question if I have any concerns with the explanation of the cough disease that Shizuko has.

Therefore, if further questions arise, questions and arguments will be spoken out and discussed if they are not satisfied.

I wasted quite a bit of time just explaining it thanks to you.

"That red book? You can use something like that. Duplicate the contents and deliver them to me. Let the paper be delivered as usual."

"Ugh!?

Turn your gaze to the red book. Nobunaga told me to fully simulate a red book with at least 300 pages.

(Yes, if you cut unwanted papers or parts of the law...... yes, can you?

I wonder if it's sad, I was so subdued to Nobunaga that I couldn't come up with the idea of rejecting it.

That was about a week after Nobunaga had Mino in his hand.

"Ishi-no-hiccup?

"Master Shizuko, you can't talk with things in your mouth. Then it's a solace party."

Shizuko pointed out looks sorry and swallows what's in her mouth.

"I'm sorry. So, I'm talking about a solace rehearsal party for the innkeeper. What does that have to do with me?

Nobunaga plans to give special rewards to those who have made a special contribution to the Mino attack.

That said, the right to enter the hot springs, tasty liquor and culinary liquor parties, and then a few days off.

Shizuko, who felt somewhat of a plain reward and not so special, asked Colour in detail about the area.

The story is that gifts such as gold and silver and ornaments have been awarded as an additional reward.

It was just after Mino's attack, and the time has not yet been decided when to reward him.

"Oh, you want me to be careful because the neighborhood feels like a mess for a few days?

If you want to use a hot spring, you can be sure that the villa next door to Nobunaga will be used.

Because Nobunaga and the main warlords will be there, many naturally follow with escorts and care around them.

It is certain that the village will be surrounded by a vibrant atmosphere.

So Shizuko wondered if it was an abdominal desire to notify the villagers beforehand and not cause them extra anxiety.

But her predictions were easily betrayed.

"No, it's not... Your orders are to join us."

In late April, seedlings began to grow in each village under Shizuko's jurisdiction.

Shizuko herself, however, does not carry out nursery work.

Because if you keep taking the tone of your work forever, the inheritance of agricultural technology will not end completely.

Then what is she doing, is manualizing farming?

Everyone now has primary information, but not necessarily the people of each village will continue to do so.

In some cases it may be passed on to message game ceremonies, and manual farming is also mandatory to avoid them.

Manufacturing, however, has the disadvantage of making agricultural techniques readily available to other countries.

Shizuko thought that the timing of using the manual she had therefore written up would be left to Nobunaga.

When I wrote up such a manual by about a third, a single letter was delivered to Shizuko.

"This... what should I do..."

After reading the letter, Shizuko stuck her head against her desk.

"I'll leave you to your discretion, but I was wondering if you should be careful in your response"

The colour I refrained from beside did not touch me on the surface, but I said so with a subtle mix of novels.

It is not impossible for her to give such a response.

"No way... I didn't expect these letters to be sent"

The sender of the letter is Honta Heihachiro Tadashi. Besides, the beginning and end of sending me as the forerunner of Flagbook, which is the position of the Three Rivers country.

The contents are summarized briefly as follows:

"Dear Sir, how are you? Sorry for the inconvenience the other day. Also, I can't bear to thank you for splitting up a lot of soaked things. With apologies and thanks, I would like you to indulge in the taste of the Three Rivers. I'm sure you'll like it. Waiting for a good reply. Stretch, what was that yellow thing in that grip?

It is, in short, an invitation to eat. In other words, in modern times, the letter is a love letter, and the content is an invitation to a date.

If you read the text written in the letter, you can see that he is inviting you with no heart and with pure favor.

That's why it was hard to choose the option of saying no.

If you say no in the first place, you'll crush his face. This is a very bad thing.

But it's also a problem that the letter invites me to go wheelie.

First of all, since street maintenance is not in place, travel is too risky. Besides, it's not Ozhang, it's Mitsugawa, so it's unclear what's going on with the security.

"... uh, what shall we do..."

Hell is the one who gets the invitation, and hell is the one who refuses the invitation. It is precisely progress and retreat.

In the end, Shizuko, who worried for about a moment but did not come up with a good answer, went out to the last resort.

"Cai, what did the Hall say about this letter?

That's throwing a round of judgment at Nobunaga. That way I can respond while maintaining my loyalty.

Her thoughts crumble even when she was thinking about it.

"I don't think we've been through this yet."

"Yes... then I'd like to turn to the judge of the Hall. Maybe I'll tell you to say no..."

"Right. Shizuko, I don't think you'll be able to come back once you've gone to Migawa."

"... hey Cai. Cai is serving me, isn't he? Have you been tough lately?

"It is also my duty to discipline you, knowing your disrespect, and pointing out the Lord's absences."

I put it in a way that included the implications of condemnation, but in color it was a Buddha state in the horse's ear.

But in the beginning, I decided to think positively that it would be more than words and deeds that had walls somewhere.

"Well no. Yeah, yeah, what's the architecture of the shrine like?

"Earlier than planned, the facilities, including the temple, have almost been built. Somehow Okabe was strained. But in order to participate in the construction of Mino's castle, this work will stop for a while."

"You have no choice. What about the annex you were asking for?

"It's 60% complete. But some of the things Shizuko ordered are obscure, so I want you to confirm them once."

"Copy that. So, check the agriculture… First, the grass wood ash has been distributed to each village?

"It has been sprayed on all the fields in each village. The compost has also been sprayed. We have also completed work such as plowing and tidying the land, and we have completed the soil making"

"Oh, did we make it that far ourselves? I can't measure it because I don't have a soil acidity meter, but do I have to leave that to my own cans... What about seedlings?

"In Yoichi's opinion, it's a good thing. You've become accustomed to boulders, and you're working hand-in-hand. However, the people of this year's village are still somewhere to be found."

"Well, I'm not used to it. I think it's going to take shape next year, and I don't know if I'm going to get too sick."

"There have also been no notable problems with chicken eggs. Agricultural relations are going well."

As reported by Colour, it was crushing the area that was likely to be a problem beforehand, so Shizuko's technical inheritance was slipping out smoothly without appearing to be a problem.

It is forbidden to be alarmed, but for the time being it will be fine to leave it to the generations.

"What soy sauce (hishio) are you making on a test basis in Miso Town?

"There is some confusion, but there is no major problem because the manufacturing is similar"

"Soy sauce... maybe it will be called soy sauce, because that's an important seasoning. Next, where's Mahjong?

"Hemp was designed by Shizuko... and thanks to the Shishufu skin peeler, production is several times higher than before," he said.

"It's a Schlichten peeler. Speaking of which, the silk yarn that my village is in charge of was run by an automatic threader using a water wheel. How about over there?

The color blushing slightly at the bite said this after coughing to change the air.

"There's more production going on over there. They can just run it for a long time and do yarn peeling. Once every two minutes, you have to take a break of about half an hour. But the museum was delighted because of the high quality silk yarn that could be produced in large quantities."

After the silk thread is pulled out of the cocoon, twist several pieces together to achieve the desired thickness.

And after being concentrated in a single raw thread, it is wrapped around what is called a small frame.

This process takes more time and effort. So Shizuko let the gold build an automatic threader using a water wheel.

Although the Schlichten peeler has its original blueprint, the automatic threader using the water wheel is static original.

Even so, I didn't design it after I came to the Warring States era, but a substitute I designed when I was in the modern age.

Moreover, the reason why I designed it was as if I was a rational technician, since I saw a manual threader and thought, "Can't it be automated?"

In the end, it ended up in an almost self-satisfying form: the automation device there could be done and the silk thread could be done in there time.

That's why I took advantage of the experience.

"Hemp, silk, I wish I had cotton when I did"

"Kotong?

"Yeah. Well, that's if you get a chance, okay? It must have been passed down to the neighboring Three Rivers country, but we haven't found the value (...) over there yet. It seems easy to get it in barter"

"(I haven't found the value yet...? In a way that's as if that's a decided future......) How about getting it through a merchant?

Shizuko answers the words of color with her neck lying down.

"I don't need a substitute. I need an environment where I can produce cotton. I mean, we need to get the seeds."

"Is that so? There are no particular major problems with Honeytown and Mushroom Town. We're going well."

"Hmm, you mean a smooth slip out. But if there's a problem, I want you to report it."

Copy that, sir.

"... well, I... I'll figure out what to do with this sentence."

Shizuko flickering with her cheerful voice and hands, but her expression wasn't very good.
