Amago no Miko

Yonglu Year 4 (1561) Early December, Mount Mustard, Otaro Village, Kamigawa-gun

"Oops! This is a nice view!

How are you, sir?

It is a ball that has returned from the masterpiece after completing the investigation of a new mine.After staying overnight at Nishidai-ji Temple, I climbed to the midsection of Mt. Mustard, about half a mile northwest of Nishidai-ji Temple, in order to visit the site of the Nishida development in Beemae, that is, the cultivation of the sea by landfill.

The best way to inspect the entire site is to climb a hill with a good view.Underneath is Kojima Bay and the mountains of winter dying Kojima.Well, Kojima Bay is not yet a bay, but the future Kojima Bay is spreading before my eyes.

In the middle of the mountain, there is a Shinto Shrine, so it was just right and helpful for a break.However, since Naoka Ukita guides us, it's also a perfect tour with full entertainment without clues.

The Naoki Ukita family is very attentive, and I am very precious.The other day, when I went to visit the fence, I went from the fence to the hot spring, but when I arrived at Yugo Village, it was amazing!I had arranged for my stay to be in perfect condition.

Where could you afford to arrange things like that while you were working with me?It's a mystery....

Well, knowing the historical facts, I knew that the Naoki Ukita family was a good warlord, but I was also vigilant because I thought that there were one or two habits.But the real thing was different, so it seems that he joined me as an unexpected pickup.

Naokita Ukita's family has no trace of the feeling of a samurai or a rape male, as it is passed down in the later generations of history.Is he the ruling minister?It feels like he's a capable butler.But now it's a mess.No, you can't!

But I think he was also an honest man to his family and allies.Look, Cheeto Jijii also calls his sons "dog colo" and "insect cherry" in contempt, but basically, I take care of my family.Is Māori originally a hidden tundragizi?

Humans who are said to be husbands and adulterers may be sweet inside.Neither does Nobunaga.

Therefore, Mt. Mustard is not Mt. Keshi or Mt. Dashi, but Mt. Keshigo.Mt. Mustard is a small mountain about 200 meters in size, but since it is an independent mountain, it looks fine even if it is small.

If it was mustard seed, I wanted to wonder if it was grown in Japan, but I felt that it was a little later, so was there no need to worry?

Mt. Mustard seeds must have been named after Karashina.Why did you put the same kanji on a completely different plant?I roared and broke my understanding.A mystery.....

Well, if you manage and use them properly, they should be beneficial plants.The anesthesia was supposed to have been made from Keshi.

But since it's the age of the great voyage, perhaps the Nanbarians will be able to get you some ketchup.One day, I would like to make anesthesia from Keshi, but the intention to make anesthesia was to make drugs.I feel a little scared that it's going to happen.

Although, I don't feel like anaesthesia or drugs are similar.I can't remember, but I felt that most of the ingredients were the same.

Because of Keshi, your thoughts have leaned in a dangerous direction!

"From here, we have a view of the Yoshibi Hole Sea, so I was foolish to think that it would be just right for Princess to visit."

Wazumi showed me a good place.

"Climbing the mountain is the best way to check the progress of the dredging."

That's right, a man who can do it is different.Tarasa would like you to apprentice Naota Ukita and become a capable man.

"Princess Yu, is that Kojima across the coast?

"That's right. That island must be Kojima."

"As the princess and Saemonsa said, that's Kojima."

Well, even if I didn't climb Mt. Mustard, I could see the Kojima mountains, but I also needed to double check them.Besides, this is the beauty of style.

In the future, it is called Kojima Peninsula, and it is a land of Honshu, but in this era, Kojima is literally an island.Honshu and Takahiro continued to land because of the accumulation of sediment in the mouth of the Takahiro River and large-scale dredging.

I remember it was probably in the early Edo period.Even in this era, the water depth is shallow because there are already places connected by a dry lagoon when the tide is dry.That's why it was quite easy for Toyotomi to be completely landfilled in Tokugawa's early, decades-old dredging project.

"Tamahiko, if you look through the spectacles, you can see every single step of the human foot engaged in dredging."

Hahahahaha! Look, people are like garbage!

Is this it? I don't know.

That's not true. You can see that people work like ants on a thousand scale.Tarasa says it's a big deal to know all about the hands and feet of a working husband.

The accuracy of the spectacles is still unbelievable, so it looks a little loud.I feel that the quality of glass products can only wait for the quality to improve over time.

Tarasa seems to have become a favorite since she got her eyeglasses.You don't even feel the same way when your parents give you a new toy.Are you more obsessed with peeking through the spectacles than being able to train a man?

In this era, there are no officers, so you can peek all you want!Well, I don't think you can peek at a lot of things even if you peek with your eyeglasses.Besides, it looks half-boiled.Taro, I'm sorry!

Hmm, that's not quite right.

"Ha, I know that the princess is paying more for her legs than for her role."

Well, at the end of the term, everyone's going to be stupid and the construction won't go any further.

I'm on the left, but I thought someone would enlighten me.

Naoka Ukita also showed that reaction.Well, from the point of view of the feudal lord, the scale may fall out of your eyes.Speaking of which, nobody says scale from the eyes, right?Could this metaphor have come from the New Testament?If so, would it have been natural for no one to say so?

Grandpa Tahu and Maori were the same, but in this era, the idea of performing civil engineering work with an executive is still a common one, right?Well, it's probably because the wealthy Neko family can pay their husband a daily allowance, it's like a possible backwash.

"I don't think anyone will eventually come with me if I don't give them a fair reward for what they did."

"Please do as the princess tells you."

"How's the dredging going?

"As you can see, from the princess's point of view, I extended my right hand vertically to the south to build a slightly semi-circular dike in the east and west."

Hmm. Is this exactly what it looks like?No, I wonder if this is the right thing to do.Incidentally, from my point of view, there is land on the left hand side and from the east side, so there is no need for a dike.

You mean you drain the water inside the embankment and then you bury the lower part of the land?

It's going to be a lot of work.

"It's actually a labor-intensive task."

Well, it's natural to take the sea for granted, so it's only natural that it should be a major construction project.

"So, how much new land have we got?

"This year, half a mile east and half west.On the south side, about two towns were spread out. "

This means that it is roughly 2 km x 200 m.In other words, about 40 hectares of land have been added, and 40 ha is almost the same as 40 town steps, which is synonymous with the development of a new field where 400 stones of rice can be expected to be harvested per stone.

Well, a few years after the salt of the cultivated farmland can be removed, it feels like 600 stones can be harvested at the Tamahime ceremony, but it is an unknown field that has no experience in Izumo to completely cultivate the sea and develop new fields.

Therefore, even if you think you can completely remove the salt, there is likely to be a problem, and I think it would be easier to calculate with one stone.

"We're about 40 steps out of town."

It's Mr. Left.

"How many husbands are currently working?

"I know about 1,500 people."

Hmm.

"Is that the number from the autumn when the rice harvest is over?

"On the left. Before that, about 500 people worked exclusively."

"I see...."

I mean, whatever!Hmm... this is a little difficult to calculate.

The farming season lasts about 150 days for about five months from mid-September or the beginning of October to mid-February or the end of the following year.In the meantime, work was carried out in a situation of 1,500 people.So 500 people work exclusively throughout the year.It is too much to say that the rate of progress of construction during peasant periods is three times faster than usual, but in simple calculations, it is three times faster than usual.

In other words, you can calculate 15 months of work for 500 people.It's just a simple calculation.In addition, the construction period is seven months, with only 500 dedicated people working.22 months in total. If you calculate 500 people a day, it's about 660 days. 500 times 660 equals 330,000. 330,000 artificial, 40 town steps?

330,000 divided by 40 townships = 8250.

Well, this is just a calculation on the desk, and as we continue to land offshore, the depth of the water gradually deepens, so it is a theory on the desk after all.

But if you calculate one stone, 400 stones = 400 stones in 40 townships, and 240 stones = about 120 penultimate sentences in copper coins for the people.Again, the labor wage paid to the husband involved in the construction is 15 sen per day, 330,000 sen × 15 sen = 4.95 million sen = 4950 sen!

If I redeemed the entire 240 stones and got 120 pieces of paper, and turned it over to pay for the construction of the dredging, 4950 ÷ 120 = 41.25....

Hmm!?

Shit shitter....

Um... did my eyes and head get worse?

No, I'm fine.

I can't believe you're paying me in 42 years... assuming you have zero interest rates, and you're turning all your sales to pay off your debts.Unbelievable, I can't believe it....

In that case, I felt it would be better not to cultivate new fields and develop new ones!

After all, I think it would be better to focus on the cultivation of highly exchangeable cotton.Cotton is an area where demand is still growing, as supply is not fully catching up with demand, and cotton is needed to sail huge ships.

Hmm, considering that, I'm starting to think that cotton production is the best!
