The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

Episode XXIV: The Beginning of Hygiene and Imawa

side/Kuyuan Ichima

I don't know if it's because of Nobunaga's orders or because his salary is good, but the next day, about thirty-five mid teenage walrus gathered together.

It's where I live and where I work for now. Do you want me to have a place to live in a long house? Let's have Naguno and Tsushima live in half.

"This is called soap. Something to wash your hands and body. Washing your hands with this when you get back from the outside or after you use it before you eat."

I decided to set aside one thing for the first time when it came to work and give it a minimum education. I will teach so-called reading and writing soba and hygiene concepts. You can do the least of the martial arts, right? Because it's the people Nobunaga used.

"It's Ketty. What's the point of that?

"It makes me less susceptible to disease"

I started with handwashing instruction by Ketty, but the most interesting thing I ate was Nobunaga, after all.

"Lord Ketty. Soap is very expensive and you can't get it first with tail tension"

"It's okay, 'cause we can make it"

And for some reason I'm here. It's Heavy Manager Ohashi and Jingsu, but only Mr. Ohashi is surprised he knows soap.

I don't have soap from this era on the continent, so I guess imports just come in a little bit from Europe. I'm surprised you know.

"You have such things. You know Ketty."

'Cause I'm mastering medicine.

"You were a doctor!?

Because Ketty has only cooked about as much since she came to Tsushima, and she's not very noticeable. I'm a medical android.

With Nobunaga at the head, you're all surprised to say you don't believe it.

"I've never heard of a doctor who's mastered Nanban medicine."

"Keeping your body clean is a good thing. Don't use horse manure or urine because mistakes don't make it a pill."

"Can't you do horse shit or urine?"

"Yeah, no. If you've just urinated, you can wash your wound. If there's water, it's better water."

Something Mr. Ohashi misunderstands on his own, but it's hard to correct it. Do you want me to call it medicine for Nanban itching?

Ketty finally told me that disinfection and first aid are wrong for this era, but this is the most startling thing about Mr. Jing Soo. I guess I didn't think what I had believed for years was a mistake.

"If you get injured or something, use this. Water for disinfection"

"Isn't the contents just water?

"Yeah. Water with secret medication my mother made"

Ketty's first aid instruction continues as it is. Ketty made saline for disinfection.

It's not enough to hide it, but it's hard to explain it every time I use drugs and stuff. Trying to make it a secret drug.

It's just that there's not an early battle, and I don't really think the samurai will listen to us honestly. You should have enough to use with us.

Besides, there is no concept of disinfection in this era of Europe. We need to make it a secret of the Kuyuan clan or something.

Of course, Ketty doesn't have a mother, but if you don't make up a fictional background that your parents were doctors, Tsuji won't fit in one day.

And then read and write. It's about time. What? I really want to fix this too. Especially the official documents. Well, if we say that right now, no one will listen to us.

"Surugawa is cheap this year."

"That value would be nice. Let's buy it."

After the first aid class, Ichigo decided to give a reading and writing class, and me and Elle were talking to Nobunaga, Jitsu and Ohashi about purchasing rice, soybeans and wheat.

As a measure of the Three Rivers and Minoxi, you need to make a suggestion to the Chinese people on your side to sow rice and wheat, as well as rice for brewing.

I can buy it on a Galeon ship, but I can see it coming to prominence and noise. So the purchase of rice, wheat and soybeans decided to pass through the merchants of Tsushima and Hotfields.

Mr. Ohashi also seems to be dating merchants from various countries and has some idea of the value of rice in the neighborhood. Looks like Elle also dispatched some ultra-compact reconnaissance aircraft in the form of bugs all over the place to check the values, though.

"To Surugawa, it would be nice to serve shiitake mushrooms on golden liquor and salmon from here. I was wondering if I should also take a small amount of silk textile."

"Are we going to take action against this river with rice from this river?

"You can't fight with alcohol or preferences. Plus, if the value of rice goes up, this river will be overburdened. If you overdo it, you'll be wary, so you'll have to buy the quantity as you see how it goes. For the moment, the prerequisite is to increase the volume of commerce."

However, Nobunaga gave an indescribable look at the plan to buy rice from Imawa territory, which he used to combat Imawa.

There are also reasons to buy it because it is cheap. Rice is a strategic commodity for staple foods, but alcohol and expensive food are a hobby. Selling preferences and buying strategic supplies should make it somewhat more burdensome for Imawa to attack Anxiang Castle in Migawa next spring.

As things stand, it's better to sell our products to Sungawa first, so it's not a good idea to be wary of them early because they're too burdensome.

It would be better to sow two birds a stone than just pay Sungawa a penny.

"You guys, don't think about being scared"

"I'll think of a truly horrible solution"

"Imawa is a big country. The impact is insignificant."

After Elle explained for a while, Nobunaga understood our approach. I'm surprised by the vegetarian expression of the war on Imagawa with logistics.

Mr. Ohashi is such a serious face, too, you don't have to say he's horrible or anything.

This measure doesn't mean that Imawa loses money unilaterally, does it? It's a hobby, but it doesn't change anything that's worth it. It would also be possible to resell it and make money if you were willing to do so.

It's just that when people get used to delicious things, they want it again. Preferences are probably the best way to get into this economy.

If you weaken Imawa too soon, it's hard to add or subtract because I'm afraid of Takeda, but I'll have to leave that to Elle.

In the meantime, as an Oda family, it is rice obtained from Imawa, and Mitsugawa and Minoxi will be taken care of. But honestly, you can do this because you're a wealthy Imagawa opponent.

I'm sorry, but Mikawa was flirting with Oda and Imawa, and it's not a hobby. Besides, the poor have always made the crowd strong.

In this day and age, there is no loyalty to the Mitsugawa Samurai. I mean, the assessment of the Three Rivers of Historical Facts is honest, and I also feel that it was just conveniently written because Jiayang took the heavens.

Well, it's hard to deal with the Three Rivers, not to mention the historical facts.

――――――――――――――――――

Only a few lines were noted in the Monsignor Nobunaga about this day.

Though the due date is not written, it is recorded that the Kuyuan family held as many as thirty-five people at a later date when Kuyuan Yima held the benefit of Takigawa, and that there was medical instruction by Ketty, who is also a doctor at the back of Kuyuan Yima.

The contents of the instruction are unclear, but it is common to believe that it was only Kuyuan Ketty, who is later said to be the ancestor of modern medicine, that at the time it could also be received heretically.
