Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

Seeing the sight, Shizuko only had a dry laugh.

Nobunaga Oda is much more actionable than I thought.

Suddenly enough to hold such thoughts, I was overwhelmed by its turbulent behavior.

I see the man next door as chilling.

A man in his around fifties on a horse, but his face doesn't let him see decay due to age.

His name is Kasei Mori Sangamen, and Nobunaga is one of the most trusted warlords.

It is said that any adversity was beside Nobunaga and reassured him.

Nobunaga's first castle to the minister was also with Kasei Mori Sangamen.

(But you look so low back uncle... if I tell you, you're going to kill me)

When you put your gaze back in front, about thirty men and women laying flat together get into your eyes.

One of the countryside everywhere in this day and age. But I came here for a reason.

"Again this year, their annual contribution is less than half that of their designation. What the hell is this?"

One of the soldiers tells as he looks down at the old man like a village chief.

He was right, this village was poorly endowed with annual contributions.

I couldn't even pay half of the annual contribution I designated, and it got worse every year I went after it.

And now that we have reached a level that we cannot miss, as Nobunaga, we were going to destroy the village.

but that's why I met Shizuko there.

(Make this village pay the designated amount of annual contribution. Or shipping crops in large quantities...... is an order.)

When Nobunaga said he would be invited to the castle to serve Shizuko, naturally the warlords under his command disagreed.

Naturally, Nobunaga seemed to know that too, and he laughed and said:

"I'm not interested in old clichés. I use what I can... but I relentlessly throw away what I can't. Shizuko has Nanban knowledge of agriculture. Use it to show me your talent."

That alone eliminated the voice of rebellion.

Nobunaga will try, so the warlords can't complain.

Though some warlords were relieved by the saying that they were not to be made to serve as warlords.

(I can't imagine a woman being a warlord in the first place... or I've never had a knife!

I feel like my own sister would happily jump out to the battlefield with a knife in her hand, but I'm not a war freak with hatred and myself.

He is a very ordinary so-called ordinary person and has some knowledge and practical experience of agriculture there daughter.

"It's supposed to hit me in the neck, but the house is very merciful."

So the soldier sends his gaze toward Shizuko. Shizuko stands next to the soldier as soon as she finds out.

"This man, follow Shizuko Ayakoro's instructions and make a crop."

"Huh!

Stunning voices rise from the peasants.

I guess so, because it's the girl who's not even old enough to be introduced.

Don't be surprised. I can't do it.

I'll tell you the same thing.

"Are you dissatisfied? Then you'll get their necks instead."

The soldiers suddenly pulled the knife out of their hips when they thought of it.

Shizuko was deeply freaked out by the fact that she had only two choices: life or death, but when she looked weird here, she was suspicious, so she pretended to be as calm as possible.

"Yes, no! There is no annihilation!

"All right, let's get started."

(Eh! Suddenly -?

It was loaded with various penetrations, but I had to do what the soldiers said to Shizuko, who had no choice in the first place.

"Oh, hon. Then show me the field first. Next, the living environment. Let me go around the village one last time."

I just have to do it. If you don't know how to get back or anything, you just have to stay under Nobunaga's asylum.

Shizuko took the first step in tears at her own comprehension and environmental adaptability.

Shizuko inspects fields, houses and other living environments, and around the village.

That revealed a lot of things.

(The soil in the field isn't bad... but the land is leaning towards the river, so when it rains, the soil nutrition seems to flow)

First, in the middle of the village was a river of that size there.

The river was divided on the border between the western side as a place to grow houses and other settlements and the eastern side as a place to grow fields and other crops.

But the settlement side was flat, but the farmland is slightly inclined.

There were actually a number of marks like the water flowed, and that was making a ditch towards the river.

No matter how much land we cultivate this means that the soil at heart loses weight.

(Fortunately, the tilt is no big deal, so I can make acres and avoid them. But the soil at the heart is useless, so we need to make compost first.)

I plan to make it about a week before the colonization.

Until then, it was necessary to make compost, but the ingredients for this were the problem.

(There are only two cows in the village. Probably the villagers' joint property position. But just the two of them. Then I'm a little short)

Mix and load rice straw (straw), rice noodles and other by-products with cattle, pigs, chickens and other livestock.

Shizuko thought that livestock fung compost should always be made because household waste can also be mixed together.

(I guess I should get a bigger bucket ready and do it there. The place is fine where the cow is...)

I don't know, Lord Shizuko.

"Uh-huh!

When I was thinking, I was suddenly called from behind, and Shizuko accidentally raised a strange voice.

Looking back as I turned my face a little red, there was Kasei Mori riding a horse there.

"Ha ha! Soil maintenance should be carried out first. If we don't make soil, we'll be the two dances we've been doing."

Shizuko stands up so fast when he panicked and lays flat in dirt mode.

He has a soft grin, but it's still a warlord from the Warring States era there.

Shizuko, who lives in the modern age, felt incredibly intimidated from Kasei Mori.

"The Hall expects Shizuko. Encourage people to live up to their expectations."

"Ha ha!

Nodding to Shizuko's reply, Kasei Mori gives a voice to the soldiers around him.

"We're going back to the castle!

"Ha!"

The soldiers, including Kasei Mori, left the village with the chanting.

But not all of them. There were a few soldiers left.

(Uh, it's probably surveillance. I can't believe I trust anything all of a sudden... hey)

Though he seemed like another HR, Shizuko began to sort out in his head what he was going to do.

Since all the villagers were gathered, we decided to have a brief introduction first.

What I found out was that there were 20 men and 10 women.

And among men, there is one blacksmith craftsman, and three craftsmen who can process wood such as architecture.

Since only the village chief was older and in his early forties, the pure workforce was about fifteen people.

(In pairs of five, soil maintenance, wood collection and composting. I wonder if the technicians make substitute tools. Even with all the farming tools in this day and age, there are too many in this village)

Looking at the villagers, everyone was thin and thin due to lack of nutrition.

The village chief also meant with Forty Roads, but the appearance appeared to be plugged into old age already.

(The main thing this year is the sweet potatoes. Array is nutritious enough to be used in times of famine...)

"Oh, uh, Master Murakami? What can we do..."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Well, excuse me, but first, make a pair of five besides the wood processors and blacksmiths -"

"Okay -"

Even if Shizuko the woman gave the order, she didn't look disgusted.

Failure would mean death, in a sense, would be the ultimate threat.

With that in mind, Shizuko put together a plan for the future.

After about five minutes, she sees three pairs, and Shizuko mouths the next order.

"Name the squad plainly. Left to A, B and C. The craftsmen shall be the Ding Squad. Remember your squad name."

"Ugh. Got it!

A man who can see both the boy and the youth in front of him responds well.

"First, Team A will do soil maintenance. Well, you just dig back the soil on the farmland. However, have them dig a little deeper than usual. Next, Squad B will gather wood. This is for Ding Squad to make tools, so Ding Squad will work with you. Squad C makes compost. Please prepare a large bucket. I'd like about three if I could, but I don't mind one."

"Ha ha..."

"Yes, get ready -. It works!

"Ha, yes!

The detonated Party A and Party B shall go to fetch the said items as if they had been detached.

"What are we supposed to do..."

When the men ran away, now the women would ask, like, roughly.

"Please prepare one wooden barrel. Please add soil to that. The dirt can come from anywhere. After that, please also prepare water."

"Yes, sir."

As they say, the women also go to pick up the items instructed.

You probably don't understand the majority of what's said, but Shizuko thought that's fine now.

(Now I need to make you think 'that's more important' than my head understands... well, I need to go get some potato seedlings too.)

Then thirty minutes later, the villagers, each ready with the necessary things, gathered in the same place as earlier.

Wooden barrels to plant seedlings, bottles with water, three wooden barrels that can be used to make compost, a set of agricultural tools, and logging tools.

It was a bit lame, but Shizuko decided to think it was better if it was still there.

"Yes. Let's start with the women. But it's easy to do. Start by drilling holes in the soil and planting this..."

As I say, Shizuko implants a portion of the potato where the seedlings are growing into the soil.

The villagers were listening to Shizuko as they seemed to see the sight unusual.

"Next thing you know, keep the water on. I use it for seedlings, so I can use it about once a day. Please install this in a place where the sun shines. That concludes the work of the women. Please do as you always do with the rest."

"Is this all...?

"Yes, thank you very much. Next up is Team A of Soil Maintenance. I'm going to the farm. Please wait for the rest of the squad on the spot."

With that said, Shizuko walked out towards the farm.
