Amago no Miko

Episode 11 Looking up at the Autumn Sky and Sinking with Sadness

Astronomical Year 24 (1555) September Rhinogen Village near Izumo Sword Shrine

"Wow, this year, thanks to you, you've made a lot of crops!

"Is that so? Princess, together with Kanmon and Deito counties, 70,000 stones are guaranteed!

"Fuhahaha!That's right!

In front of me is a golden sea of rice hoes spreading all over the place.

Who can suppress this laugh?

No! Definitely not!

Had it not been for me, the laughter would not have stopped.

Is that it? Does it feel like a deja vu...?

This year, by the majority of Izumo, I changed the way I planted my plants to the Tamako ceremony.As a result, in Kanmon and Deito counties, where I am entrusted with the county charge, the harvest increased by more than 40%.In total, it led to an increase in rice production of more than 20,000 rocks.You can smile at the faces of the people who mow rice!

The more rice you harvest, the fewer times people will eat potatoes and poppy, so I'm glad.

I tried to taste the powder and the poppy too... yeah, it was a bird's feed.I thought once again that I was blessed to be in an environment where I didn't have to eat them, an environment where I could eat rice every day.

As a result, rice harvesting increased by more than 20% in the fields that were also used for the Tamahime ceremony in other subcounties of Izumo.With this, the Tamahime-style planting will spread even more next year!

It's embarrassing to call yourself the Tamako ceremony or the Tamako ceremony...

Incidentally, the name for the Tahou ceremony is Grandpa Tahou.

"Only here in Rhinoke, 800 stones are hard in Princess's 50 towns."

"But I'm still working on it.We still have a lot to do. "

Yes, there are a lot of things left to do.

First, we grow autumn sown wheat in rice fields.This has been done in that number of fields for a long time, but what I aim for is a cycle of 1.5 hairs in two years of rice wheat soy fallow rice wheat soy fallow?It is.

I've forgotten the official name of this method, but it was written in a novel I read in my previous life about reincarnated things.I would like to experiment with some of my fields.

But in this way, even if the experiment succeeds, every crop will be harvested every two years, so it will naturally be necessary to adjust the cycle.

I want to try rice wheat rice wheat and rice only, as well as soy wheat soba wheat soy wheat soba in the field!Start small because you're afraid of failure.

"Hmm. But does the princess feel like she's in a hurry?

Really? But it's 50 years of human life.Master Tahou is way past the 50th Road, so be careful. "

"It hurts to care.However, this Tahu Chen Jing.I can't beat a young man. "

"If you used the word" still ", wouldn't Grandpa Tahou be the same as me?

"Hahaha, this one was taken by the princess."

There is no compromise on food in order to get a little closer to the Japanese diet of the 21st century!I want to eat soba quickly!Manufacture of menjuice is an urgent issue for the moment.

"But if you look at it like this, these five pennies are as beautiful as the color of the rice ho."

Spring sister said that to Mypace, she picked my cast coin with her fingers and put it in the sun.Glitter and sunlight are reflected and beautiful.

"Is that so? I still can't believe it's less copper than a penny."

I was going to have the Eternal Treasure cast, but it was the five-yen balls that came up.

That's what I said. "It's a waste of 10% copper, so put in some Japanese lead!The result was a five-yen ball modoki with a color very similar to the golden color.

How did this happen?

I mean, it's brass.Of course it's beautiful, isn't it? Brass.If I could give you an excuse, I couldn't help it.Because together with copper, we can also take the zinc!By the way, Japanese pirate is zinc.

So, the technology of this era only uses zinc to the extent that it is brass.Well, the melting temperature seems to be low, so if you make some trial and error, you might be able to galvanize it.But what should I use for galvanizing?

My half-knowledge doesn't come to mind.I dare to plating it, so should I try to apply it to everything and find an application?Let's reopen it!

That's not the case, so I got my father's permission to start a prototype of my mint and try everything.

10% copper rejected because it is a waste.

80% copper, 20% lead heavy, so rejected.Plus, we'll need a lot of lead as a cannon shell in time.

80% copper, 20% tin Tin is almost not produced in clouds, so it is rejected.The main source of tin is Tajima.Moro hostiles, huh?

In this way, the brass that mixed in the zinc was as close as gold.The brass itself has been around for a long time, but it doesn't seem to have been the idea of using it for money.

So, before the planting season, at the end of the construction that had been done to heal the water, I had a part of my cast money in time, so I gave it to you for a try....

"I've never seen such beautiful money!

"What the hell!

"Money?

"It's like gold!

"What the hell!

"Princess, can I have my thighs!?

I'm kind of afraid of the color of everybody's eyes.

"Calm down, it's everybody's day!

"" "Whoa!

"Give me 15 of these beautiful pieces of money!

"Princess, can I exchange this money for what I have?

"Yes, I'll be able to exchange five old Song coins for one of these new Perpetual coins.But there aren't many of them yet, so let's talk about it. "

"" "" "Ooh!

Next day

"Ohii-sama, you can't sell rice, liquor, or dried goods...."

"That's right...."

If you're shopping on the job site from today, if you only use the perpetual money you gave me yesterday, almost no one will eat lunch, and don't buy alcohol even after work!

How did this happen?

The people said,

"It's a waste, I don't want to spend new money!

Money is money!

"Until yesterday, the rice grip that was one sentence is five sentences from today.It's expensive and I don't want to buy it. "

Hey!? That's not five sentences!That Eternal Money is a sentence!

"Then can I give you three pieces of new money for a daily allowance?

In other words, everyone will be reluctant to spend money.I won't let you buy grip rice!

"The princess said she would trade me for five boring song coins.If so, it would be 15 sentences for 3 pieces, so it would be fine with me. "

Why is that happening!?

"Even if you're good, I'm in trouble!I want this new money to be one sentence at a time!

"Even if you say so, this money is beautiful. It's worth five sentences."

Don't add value to 5 sentences because it's beautiful!

"What the hell?"

"I want 10 pieces of bad money in exchange!

That's why I'm going to make a fortune... but for this time only, the temptation is a trap!

If you exchange it for 10 pieces of bad money, you'll get 10 sentences of eternal money!

"What the hell?"

"When I came home yesterday and showed it to my mom, I pulled out my hips, and I woke up."

It tastes bad, it tastes bad...

I don't know, just because the exchange ratio is 1: 5, I honestly admit the value of 5 sentences.So you want to save without spending the eternal money you gave me yesterday?

As it stands, 5 pieces of bad money 1 piece of perpetual leisure money don't use it shop with bad money 5 pieces of extra bad money 1 piece of perpetual leisure money don't use it... is the loop complete?

Maybe, no, maybe not, this is what it's called, bad money drives good money away.Is that the law?

I can't believe I'm about to see this law in front of my eyes....

On the contrary, good money drives bad money away.That was supposed to happen.After all, it may not be able to defy the principles of human psychology or the market economy.

Is this the gateway to God's invisible hands?Is that so? But now it's Kanes, not Adam Smith!

I don't know much about either!

Failed. Maybe we should have built more and released them all at once.

There was such a thing, and after collecting the prototype Nagaku coin and stopping using it temporarily, I rushed to a breakthrough to recreate it as Nagaku 5 money.

Since it was annoying, I stamped Ball Five sentences on the back.No regrets, no reflections.Well, you need a stamp of [five sentences] to express your value.

So, in addition to starting mass production of 5 yuan coins, a color similar to a 10 yen coin coin was produced during the prototyping stage, so I had to use it for 1 yuan coin, and this again had to be produced in large quantities, and it became a lewd noise, but this story will be omitted.

Speaking of people's reactions to seeing the newly prototyped pennies,

"Beautiful is beautiful, but you're no match for five-minute money."

That's not true.

Hey!?

"Even though the copper ratio is 30% higher!

Haru-san, you're being deceived.Please wake up.The asset value is higher per sentence.

"Ohii-sama, no matter how much copper you have, it's important to look at it.

Is it worth more than copper?Is that so?

"Humans are more important than they look," the teachers said!Was that a lie?

After all, people, money, and jewelry are important to look at!

This happens in spring, and we've been struggling to find the money we need to officially start water treatment work in autumn.It wasn't me, it was mainly the foundry.Thank you very much.

Hah... one sigh and I look up at the autumn sky,

"How did this happen?

That's how I murmured.
