Chapter 118 Iron Speaks [Map 10]

Yonglu 4 Year Old (1561) Early December Artwork Katsunami-gun Fencewara Village

It's a loess stone.

At Setouchi's Nishidai-ji Temple, the meeting with the leaders of the navy in Setouchi was completed safely. After breaking up with the Oyagawa Ryukyu, which returns to Aki, we took Ukita Naoka's family back to the Yoshii River early in the evening, all about ten miles, about 40 km.I crossed the line and came to the artwork.

Until about two years ago, it was the territory of Urakami or Goto, but I was misled by the dryness of the battle and made it taste delicious.So today, it's land that's built into Neko's immediate jurisdiction.

Why did you come to such a despicable cold village in the mountains? "Iron becomes a nation", Prussia and the Iron Blood Chancellor of the German Empire, Bismarck or some great man?

Yes, iron is like blood and flesh, which is indispensable for running a modern nation.Three thousand miles for iron.In other words, the use of knowledge from previous generations.That is, knowledge cheat.to take advantage of the inch.Long live the inch!

Isn't sand iron collected around Izumo the only way to meet the demand for iron in Neko territory and Nippon?Somehow, driven by such vague anxiety, it was the Fencewara Mine that caught my memory when I tried to remember my previous life.

It was a second-class geek who rode some history and railroads halfway through maps and geography, but sometimes it reminds me of something useful, so I appreciate the memory of my previous life.

Railways combine the main and main lines with branch lines, and are responsible for inter-city transport, but there are also quite a few unnatural branch lines that follow behind the countryside mountains.In most cases, at the end of the mountain, the tracks do not follow anywhere.In other words, the cecum line.

Why it was necessary to lay a railway to the end of the mountain was because of the transport of minerals from Zubali and the mines.For Iron, it was a natural knowledge.

During the peak of mining and coal mining, tracks were stretched from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south, and the mines in Tsujiura in Japan. In the 21st century, most of the cecum line used to transport the minerals became obsolete.

One of the cecal lines that I remembered was the Kagami Railway, which stretches from one top of the prep to the fence through a gentle atmosphere.Even though the fence is only a short distance from Tsuyama, the central city of art, it is not connected to Tsuyama by rail.

Moreover, it was too unnatural to stretch the track from Wagashi Station on the Sanyo Main Line to one top on the inside of Seto.To get to Okayama, the metropolitan area is a pleasant transfer, and I don't think there is so much demand for passengers between the pleasant atmosphere and Kagami.

He wonders if there was a mine in the fence and he was carrying minerals by boat from a single port.In other words, Katakami Railway was definitely a railway built to transport mineral resources from the mine to Katakami Port, and that's what my intuition told me.

However, I asked him whether there were mines around the fence, but in this era, it was a little frustrating that there were no "kos" of mines in the fence village yet.Therefore, it is up to you to get into Fencewara Village with the on-site investigation.

If gold, silver, copper, lead, etc. are produced other than iron, of course, what comes out of this mountain?Well, I don't know the answer unless you dig it up, but it's true.

"The ground is stained with vermilion brown."

"Taro, this is probably iron."

The Yoshii River in Fencewara Village climbed up a small, high hill in a serpentine area.So, the unnaturally rusty colored areas of the ground exposed the skin everywhere.This is probably a kind of iron oxide.

However, the stone I took was loess, but this is not red, but iron oxide, right?I'm not familiar with minerals, so it's probably iron oxide.I can only say that.

"Iron?

"Yes. If iron has been exposed to wind and rain for years, it will rust red and brown, right?

It's on the left.

"I think this is with the rust."

I see.

The brown color of the soil is clearly a line, so it is obvious that it contains iron.

"I was also surprised that there was such a powerful place where iron could be taken."

"Well, thanks to the announcement."

"The announcement is a convenient thing."

Well, it's a chicken.But if I told you to, it's a message.Are you complaining?

Well... So I asked Waizumi to do something for me. "

"Why not?

"I don't mind digging this iron-containing stone open-air, so I want you to dig with me and bring it to Nishidaiji Temple."

There are many casters and blacksmiths at Nishidai-ji Temple, so if you can get iron from the nearby area, the transportation fee is also cheap and good value.The separation of iron and mysterious impurities can be left to the craftsmen of Nishidaiji Temple.I'm a little scared of mineral poison, but I'm sure we can handle it!Maybe...

"This is a work of art, but is it okay if it is not Kawasachi?

"I'll tell Kawako that I'll leave it to Shou Izumi."

If that's the case, I understand.

"It doesn't make much sense to take it to Tsuyama or the temple."

It was the left.

In the middle and east of the masterpiece alone, demand for iron pies is limited, so there is a lot of demand, and don't you think it would be better to build iron concentrations and processing plants in Nishidaiji Temple, which can be transported to Kinai by boat?

Besides, the south side of Fencewara Village, the eyes and nose tip are ready, and since the downstream of the Yoshii River through which the ship carrying the load passes is also the territory of the Naota family, I think it is the result of a reasonable judgment that it would be less troublesome to leave it to a good man.

However, if you ask Naokita Ukida directly to pass through Kawako Kusheng, the masterpiece's flag, Kawako Kusheng will have to bend his head, so I think it would be better to say no.I aim for a boss who can take care of my people!

But managing your men is a menace!Especially when it comes to pride and mental agility... History has proved that Sengoku Daimyo, who lacks human resources management skills, is susceptible to rebellion!As a wise man, I have the ability to learn from that false history.

Besides,

"Was there a hot spring nearby?

"From here, in Yugo Village, which is located about Nisato, northeast of here, there is a hot spring called Yu-no-Yu."

Well, it's a strange encounter.It's the same hot spring that's near Tsukiyama Toyota, and it's called sakunoyu.Perhaps the name "Yu-no-Yu" is also a popular name.Speaking of which, I thought I stopped by when I attacked Goto's Samsung Castle two years ago.

Well then, do you want to spend the night in the hot spring before returning to the prep!

"Sincerely,"

I'm looking forward to it.

Wait, Yu-no-Yu.I'll find out what you're capable of!

"It's been a long time since I've been in the water with Tarasa."

It's Mr. Left.

Even if there is a bath, steam baths are the main era, and outside of the hot springs, opportunities to soak in the water are rare.In Izumo, I had the privilege to build a bath at Kishiki Taisha Shrine!Don't you think the lord of the feudal system is wonderful?Well, without this privilege, you can't do a poor warrior namesake!

Usually, I also built a bath at Tsukiyama Toda Castle, where I am staying and looking at government affairs, but since Toda has several hot springs in the neighborhood and is within walking distance, I go into the hot spring baths of Tsuki-no-Yu, so unfortunately, the baths built in Toda's castle are not used very much at present.

Oh, by the way, mixed bathing is the norm in this era.Isn't it because Matsudaira Nobunaga became an old man during the Edo period that the baths were divided into men's and women's baths?

But in this world, it seems unlikely that the Edo period will come!Well, it's mainly my fault.

You want to see me naked?

I wonder if this little girl would fap when she looks at the naked ex-boyfriend of Chinklin's...?

Please be delusional.....
