Amago no Miko

Yonglu 2 (1559) September Izumo Tsukishan Toda Castle

"The rice doesn't work?

"Yes, it was a rainy season this year, so the rice harvest is worse than usual."

Mmm, if you say so, I don't think it rained very little this year.Besides, it wasn't very hot in summer.I heard voices of anxiety about this year's rice harvest, but has it become a reality yet?

"Do you have any idea how much lower the harvest is compared to last year?

"I think it's about the height of the Izumo cloud before the Princess ceremony started."

You mean 170,000 or 180,000 rocks in the clouds?

That's right.

The harvest is reduced by about 40,000 or 50,000 rocks.In other words, it may decrease from 20% to nearly 30% in the worst case.The overall stone height of Neko is 640,000 rocks, but this year it's extremely likely that it will be under 500,000 rocks... this is pretty bad, isn't it?

Still, Izumo is lucky to be in misfortune, is it better to enter the category because it only returns to the original stone height before starting the Princess Ball ceremony?I'm glad you did it.

But the problem is Neko territory and other countries besides Izumo.

I remember learning in my previous life that this era was a small ice age, and I think that one of the reasons for prolonging the Sengoku era is definitely the chronic food crisis.Because it is a year-round event to wage war on other countries to rob food.

Insufficient food Stealing from other countries Rough fields Even more depressed food production Insufficient food ... Scared of infinite loops?I really don't like it.

You need to put your back a little bit on this and work on increasing food production.No, you've been working hard on me.However, it is this year that I took my place in the main seat, and it is more than ever.

"It tastes bad if we don't fight before the price of rice goes up."

"What do you mean?

"It's one way to get a merchant from Ming who's coming to Ulong Port to bring rice from the mainland.And the nitrite. "

"Well, I didn't come up with the idea of buying rice from a bright merchant."

Since starvation has not yet begun, perhaps there is no choice but to think of spring sister.But did Neko not import food from Akiko during the past famine?Would you like to ask Grandpa Taha next time?

Nitrous stone is not enough because it is artificially made from manure, wala and yogi in Hishine Village, and since the number of guns will increase every year from now on, there is no shortage of nitric stone.It was a bitter memory that I was surprised by the amount of nitrite consumed in the battle of Shinohara and fell...

Let's compromise with Ming's merchant to see some footsteps.There's plenty of silver.

"Besides, if you harvest more rice than any other field, you'll be forced to exchange all the rice for other rice besides paying as an annual bonus."

"Dear Sir, what does it mean to exchange that rice?

"Even in sunshine and cold summer, rice that produces rice like usual rice ho is strong rice that can't be beaten in sunshine and cold summer, right?

Hmm.

I forgot my name, but I think that's what happened with the laws of genetics.Are you sure it was Mendel's law?

I don't know the exact thing in my knowledge, but as a politician, I can't spare the effort I can make.

Trials and mistakes are fine. Tri-and-error is an accessory when making new things or improving varieties.No matter what kind of knowledge you have, if you don't appreciate that it is cheated enough just because you have knowledge, you will be punished.I'm still blessed.

"If we use that rice as seed next year, even if there are years of inactivity after next year, we can expect a slightly better result."

"I see, that's very nice of you!

Amaho Nippon Life is on sale.

"That's Amaho's life!

Mh, mmh... I'm not obsessed with small things!Jesus Christ, I'm Neko's master!

"Besides, the problem is after next spring."

"It's after spring that we're running out of rice."

"In Neko territory, you won't starve to death as long as I'm around."

"That's why you bought rice from the merchants of Akashi."

"Yeah, don't rush to buy it next spring, but I'll buy it until we fill up the empty rice cache this year."

In this case, I won't lose money for buying futures.Because next year's rice shortage is a definite future.In other words, risk hedging is important.

Ah, at this point, we'll build Yoshikura institutionally.Some villages have similar warehouses.I wonder why Yoshikura was abandoned during the reign of Prince Saint Toku.It's a mystery of history.

Also, it may be effective to significantly increase the amount of wheat you sow in early winter.That way, the harvest will be at the end of April, so we can cope with next summer's food crisis, which will have the least rice.

Because the food crisis is not just a problem in Neko territory, it seems that it would be better to inform Maori Jiji to increase wheat production.It may be an intrusion.

"Dear Sir, what is the problem?

"Spring sister. The rice misappropriation is not limited to the Neko domain."

"I mean...."

"Yeah, Aki, Beemae, Tajima and so on are likely to be murderous.Maybe most of Japan this year is a crime. "

Perhaps the Holodomor of Yongroku is about this year's murder.This means that the aim of Yoshimoto Imakawa in the battle between the barrels, which will happen next year and which has occurred in history, was not to go to Ueno.

Perhaps Suruga was also the culprit to rob the rice and suppress the rice growing area with Ozai.If you don't have enough rice in your own country, it's a happier time to take it away from other countries.I don't think the stone height of Suruga and Toei was very high.

Is it just a rescue request from Narumi Castle?

"Oh hi, Maori is breaking the treaty and attacking Izumo again!?

"No, I don't think they're going to attack Maori."

You're staying in Neko as your son-in-law and hostage, and you're not going to attack me, are you?But if the Maori people starve, is there any chance that they won't be able to stop the provocations from the country's lords?I wonder if the runaway of the palace could not be contained.I'm scared because it seems possible.....

In that case, does it mean that even if Taro's left is rounded off, he will take control of Maori?Perhaps Cheeto Zizi's internal affairs skills are not very high?Perhaps it's the end of a sudden expansion of the dominant region.I have to be careful.

But Jijii, don't focus on the plot, focus on home affairs and decentralized control.Don't let me fly!

"I don't think they're going to attack.Then maybe they'll attack us!

"I'm confident I'll fight back even if I attack.But to avoid that, in the worst case scenario, it might taste bad if you don't accommodate about 5,000 or 10,000 stones of rice. "

If the Māori people do not starve in the rice, the dissatisfaction of the national lords will subside slightly, and the impression of Neko is likely to improve a little.Yeah, I'm starting to feel like a great idea!

"Dear Sir, I don't think it's the same as offering property to a bandit or robber....."

"Uh-huh, maybe that's what I'm saying...."

But it's a cheap expense if the people don't starve to fight!

At the same time of the same day, Yamashiro Yamashiro, Aki Yoshida-gun

"Gushun!

Mmm, I don't know if anyone's planning anything bad.Otomo or Urakami? Or... no, not just for that little girl.If I don't betray that witch, I won't betray her.

"Autumn sunset is cold.My father is already an old man, so please do not force him to wear thick clothes. "

"Uh-huh! Takamoto, don't treat me like an old man!

"That's already the old man's word."

Wow, you can't argue with me because you've already passed the calendar.Fu ~... how long can I live?But I won't die until I take Otomo to Toyogoku.Fortunately, Otomo's family was saved by the sparks.
