Amago no Miko

Mid-December 1561, Sukiya Village, Beinakawakami-gun

Hmm, this is Tsukiya Copper Mountain.

On the way back to Izumo by road, the ball arrived at the mochiya copper mountain in preparation.Speaking of Mt. Fukiya, it is one of the top three bronze mountains in Japan during the Edo period.

The other two were another copper mountain in Shikoku and... I forgot... perhaps it was Ashio Copper Mountain?Since Mt. Ashio Copper became famous for pollution downstream of the Torase River, the image of flourishing after the Meiji era is stronger, but it should have been dug in the Edo period.

The Kamioka mine in Hida is also famous, but I think silver was the main mine here.I also have to be careful with mine poisoning.Well, the main mineral poison is supposed to come out during refining, so I don't think it's a problem if you don't refine it in large quantities.

After the Industrial Revolution, the demand for mineral resources will increase, so I think that pollution will be inevitable for a certain period of time, but future generations will be able to cope with it.In other words, it is also good to forward the problem.I can't take that responsibility either, so it's only a matter of time.

However, at this time of year, Mochiya Copper Mountain is still small and is only being mined in detail.It is a copper mountain located behind the mountain in preparation, and the current situation is that there is an overwhelming shortage of manpower, so perhaps there is nothing you can do about it.

Speaking of blowjobs, Bengala!In other words, iron oxide.In the detailed classification of minerals, oxidation may be called iron, but I don't know, so it's called iron oxide.Bengala is also a name from the Edo period onwards, so let's call it red iron.

In historical reality, Bengala became a popular pigment in the Edo period, when demand for its vermilion pigment was high and it became peaceful.

However, there is no Bengala "Bee" in the blower of this era!And unfortunately, we don't know how to make Bengala.I only have the knowledge that the tinted green and emerald iron is made from oxidized secondary minerals.

Although iron oxidizes, it's strange that I can't understand why it turns into a green color.Normally, if iron oxidizes, it feels normal to have a red rusty color.

Is this it?The iron is mixed with ingredients other than iron and may turn green when the ingredients oxidize.The rust of copper is also a blue or green color, and it seems better to think that copper and sulfur are mixed in the iron.

I don't even know how to change the green color to the vermilion color of bengala, so I will try this a lot, and there seems to be no other way to create bengala.In other words, it's a let's experiment.Well, it's not me, it's the craftsman.

Can't you bengala normal rust?If I turn the rust into powder, I don't even feel like a sole....

"I remember hearing Maori and Neko fight over this bronze mountain once."

"Was it my great-grandfather's time?The opponent is Tarasa's father.It was, of course, the temple of the Luo Dynasty when I was young. "

"Was it before someone was born?"

"It must have been about 30 years ago."

"But transporting the copper from here to the clouds can be a hassle."

That's what the Naoki Ukita family said. In order to transport copper from the blower to Izumo, it cannot be carried by canoe by river, so we have to cross the mountain again.Transportation costs also apply, so it is more economical to unload copper inside the river's usable Seto.

"That's why I brought Mimura."

Was it the left?

"I see. Was it about transporting copper that someone else called?"

Nevertheless, in historical reality, it seems quite surreal for Naokita and Mimura's parents to live together, which should have been a bad friend.The Mimura family's parents must have died in an artillery shooting arranged by the Naokita family for the assassination.

In this world, there is no reason for Ukita and Mimura to contend, so the tragedy of the assassination of the Mimura family's parents is unlikely to happen.

"I want you to take me from Nariwa Village, the territory of Mimura Hall, down the Nariwa and Takabeam Rivers to Nishinopura on the islands."

From Tsukiya Copper Mountain to Nariwa Village, it is only about 12 km away, so only a short distance that can be reached in half a day can be transported by horses and people.From there, if you can use a canoe to carry it to the islands on the inside of Seto, you can reload it onto a larger ship and take it to Sakai or Hakata.

"If you can get a job, I don't have to say no."

"It's not Mimura's job to carry the cargo."

"What do you call it?

"I want miners from Mimura's territory who work in this bronze mountain.Neko is busy with development in the territory, so there is a shortage of manpower, and we can't turn people to the mine behind the mountain. "

There are few people living in the back of the mountain, and if we are to develop a mine in earnest, we must recruit people somewhere and send them into the back of the mountain.

So this time, I made a white feather arrow against a neighbor, a Mimura family parent, who happens to be free and wants cash income.

Yeah. What I'm doing, I don't even feel like an arranger or a man, or a buyer or anything.Well, I'm not going to make a tobacco room.In this case, the Mimura family's parents gave me a husband. Am I correct as a general contractor or as a mine manager?

"Some people have few opportunities to earn money, so the men will gather."

"It would be helpful if you could do that."

"I have no wish or desire for another person's offer."

"If you will let me out, I will give Mimura the 10% of the rights of Tsukiya Copper Mountain as a token of gratitude, so that we will continue to have a good relationship with you."

Compared to Sama's silver mountain, which gave Maori half of its rights, giving Mimura 10% of its rights is still better and less painful.Besides, since Sama is mainly silver, and copper and iron seem to dominate the blowshop here, I think it is a cheap expense even if I cut my money.

Besides, the miner who digs for copper is Mimura's favor, so I feel pathetic if you don't give him a part of the rights.How merciful I am!Don't you think it's like being an angel or a Virgin Mary?

Mm-hmm. I'm here to admire myself.

"Yes, it's an unexpected pleasure for someone, but is that okay?

"Mimura is trapped between Neko and Maori, so you can't expand your territory any further, right?

"If we flip the flag against Neko and Maori, we can understand that even children can't wait to perish, so we can't expand our territory.I can't be foolish enough to destroy a house. "

Even though you understand the reality in your head and know that it is reckless to sell a fight to Neko and Maori, in terms of emotion, I think it is a creature called a human that still has some feeling of being unable to do it.There's a buildup of heart buildup that could explode someday.

Especially, even though the Mimura parents are subordinate to Māori, they survived the warring nation turmoil with their own genius, ruled half of the preparations, and may be the last seat, but since they have a name for the warring nation, even more so, the Mimura parents feel that it is easy to accumulate dull leftovers.

So, is this a kind of gas drain for Mimura's parents?You might call it candy or bait.

"I hope that you will receive my apologies, thanks, and compensation for Mimura's inability to expand the territory any further by transporting the cargo to the islands from the territory with 10% of Bronze Mountain's rights."

"I understand. If that's the case, don't hesitate to ask."

I think it's a favor to sell, but this also leads to the safety of the Neko, so I won't be stupid.I mean, there's no alternative, right?

I don't feel that it is similar to the Japanese government's foreign policy and the way Balamaki did things in my previous life.Maybe he's a little bit of a masochist?When I think about it, I feel depressed and depressed, and that means that I love you....

But this is Japan's all-round smile diplomacy, flowing from the ancient and itchy imperial court.I am merely imitating Sole and treading.So please complain to the court.

Friendship and tolerance are important in the world!

"Ah, by the way, Shinmi and Zhuang's right to Bronze Mountain is five minutes less than Mimura's."

"In other words, did someone give you a special preference?

"It's only natural to make a difference between Mimura Hall, who reigns near the half-country of Bechu, and Shinmi and Zhuang, who are the lords of the country."

"It hurts to be considerate of others"

Mm-hmm. Mimura's parents can't hide their smiles.He's not satisfied either, is he?Don't you think it's also necessary to lift them up, tickle their pride, and have them do their work in a pleasant way?

Aftercare is a big job, too.Perhaps it is a necessary skill to move the organization smoothly and smoothly.... but...

Mendoxe!
