The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era
Episode 124 - Who Should I Be
side: Kuyuan Yima
I came to report inspecting Iwakura territory, but Shinsu's expression is not fragrant.
In conclusion, there is no major problem, but if left unattended, it is likely to stagnate or decline slowly. In the first place, the majority of samurai don't even have much concept of rebuilding or developing villages at their expense.
This era lives as a community on a village-by-village basis, and annual contributions are also paid on a village-by-village basis. They have the feeling that it's the village's role to rebuild the village or something.
I'm not a general lord in the first place and I don't have the funds, so if you order me to rebuild you, I'll make you work for free in the emissary and squeeze the raw resources of rebuilding out of the inhabitants.
I don't really think it's the Warring States quality that's trying to make the territory better now. Because it's an area where Nobunaga didn't even get his hands on it. I'm sure it's difficult.
"Does it make it the duty of the Lords to feed their inhabitants under the laws of the Minutes?
"That might be a good idea. If you can't do it yourself, you just have to wish on your lord. Instruct once considering the circumstances, and the second time if you don't listen to the instruction, you should dispose of it."
I don't seem angry. Do you feel troubled? I guess I can understand how samurai feel in this era better than I do. I don't seem to be too keen on it, but I'm pretty sure it should be laid down in the Minutes Act.
"Fish fertilizer production is going well. Even if it's hard to plant rice, if you plant wheat, soba, poppy, and rice, it should definitely be better than it is now."
Fishing in the Chita Peninsula is going well. I borrowed a large net from Saji and Mizuno and asked them to catch it, and dried it to fertilizer and dried it.
There is more demand for dried foods than fertilizers so far, though. I have too much to use in the ranch and agricultural test village. Of course I buy the excess fertilizer and stock it with us.
You can use more places if you want to, right? I'm going to test it for a year.
The problem is if you feed the people and let them do it until reconstruction, there will be samurai out there who can't.
"Will the spear-working only be able to rule the territory"
"You should look at it temperamentally. If you know your lord is serious, most of you will try to comply. Those who are willing to obey are generous, and those who do not confiscate their territories."
Seems that's where Shinsu's troubles lie.
This is a reform. It seems important that they don't feel properly and in a hurry. Elle's for sale, though.
"Iwakura is looking good for the moment. The first person to dispose of it will be the old minister of the Yamato guardian. Those bastards. Because someone tried to take it up to the seed. I don't mind being ambitious, but I don't need a lie."
Though not a very praiseworthy type, the earthen lord of the village, which became the battlefield of Iwakura, did not even rebel against this instruction. Mr. Yamanuchi seems to have spoken well, but it would be a critical pass line.
On the other hand, it is the old ministers of the Yamato Guardian who are buying Shinsu's anger.
He seemed to think that if he squeezed it out of the territory and donated it, both Shin-soo and the heavy minister would admit it. He wanted to show me that he had the so-called ability to collect money.
I guess that would have been a good idea if it had been the great name of a warring country, but it turned out to have oiled Shinsu into a fire of anger.
"It's tough for you too, Shoji Yamato"
"Ayatsu. I came under the eagle and left a memoir saying that I was not involved in anything and that I was not willing to reinstate it."
It was your former master's friend, Shin, who has lost his reputation for it and his position has become more subtle.
In part, there are rumors that Shinyo is after the restoration. He just doesn't care about the key Nobu. You think he's unexpectedly agile about the situation and refuses to engage with the old minister?
I've given you enough locks to protect your former guardian figure, and I give you booze and food sometimes in the name of Shin-soo.
"Those people's territory is a good place, isn't it? How about making it all direct jurisdiction? The people are delighted. No one can complain."
"Only those who can be used in battle will be paid."
The trouble is the territory of the old Yamato guardian, the place is pretty good, right? In the long run, it's desirable to have direct jurisdiction, right? We need to clean it up before the fall harvest.
Next up in Upper Four Counties is a visit to the Krabby River.
I stopped at Tsushima's mansion on the way over, and this one's still busy with the liquor ministers.
There are just a few strange faces, and they've recently started accepting people from trusted merchants.
Sometimes the business has expanded and I'm a little understaffed, and it seems to make sense to teach merchants how to do business with us, such as quality control.
We need to raise not only samurai but also merchants. Sakai and Hakata merchants are tough. I also need to raise Ozhang's merchant.
"Golden alcohol? Does it work?
"Pretty much, sir."
The Tsushima Mansion also develops new products. This time I'm entrusting the mansion as a prototype. One of the things Linmei, a Chinese-style android, showed me was the use of gold liquor as a drug.
I didn't know, but even in history, there were herbs and other things that were soaked in honey wine, so Linmei made a unique blend of herbs and herbs.
"Heh. I'll give it to my lord before I sell it. Say hello."
Will it make even higher gold liquor even more luxurious? Because drugs in this era are suspicious and can be sold even if you take too much to poison them. This is going to sell too.
"This is a sprinkle. Did you use the sardines?"
And the other is a sprinkle of rice for you. It's not particularly novel to say that it dates back to the Kamakura period.
It seems that this fish is dried in large quantities and crushed until powdered, and seasoned with salt by adding dried sesame seeds and sesame seeds.
"I can sell it to the people because it's cheap yo"
"You sell all the luxury stuff too. I'm handing out money as an emissary, and I need something for the residents to buy."
Taste it a little and it tastes pretty good. The sunshine is going to be pretty good, and maybe we can sell it inland.
And the water candy and ale that I made before seems so popular that Tsushima can have a store as soon as possible. It's also sold in Qingzhou and Hotfields. Because it's so expensive, merchants visiting Tsushima and Hotfields seem to buy it often. I don't sell big mouths because it's for the realm. I think it would be enough for a pedestrian to make it a business deal story.
You think it's popular in Tsushima to drink ale to dishes that have been cooked with dried tiny potatoes? Delicious?
"It's time to leave the store, sir. Too many people in and out of the mansion yo"
"Store. Is there someone I can trust?
"I'm a candidate, yo."
"If we don't have enough people, shall we get the people of the Ninja to work? You should have a fixed position in Ozhang, and you can use it as a pedestrian."
Tsushima's mansion is completely integrated into the region. It just seems that the problem is that a lot of people go in and out of the mansion. Most of the loads we deal with are luxury goods and are left in the mansion.
In addition to our guards, the Mansion is tight enough to have Takigawa Ninja and Tsushima soldiers. Maybe it's time to split up the merchant shops.
Should we open a shop on Tsushima before building a port on the Krabby River? I have already told Tsushima and Hota about the Krabby River port inside, and I have asked the merchant we anticipated to open a shop in Krabby River.
Of course, he also told them that Tsushima and Hota would not be neglected, explaining the idea of working with Krabby, Tsushima and Hota.
That would really happen if the territory of Oda expanded in the future. Tsushima is originally a compact that carries things in the river on the Mino side, and Hotfields is also a compact that carries things in the river to Nagorno or something.
It is clear that the Krabby River is not enough, and Tsushima and Hota will be even more prosperous once the Krabby River has a port for Nanban ships.
"Oh, I hear there's a festival at Hota Shrine. Because of this, I wonder if I can get out of the street and act like alcohol and sweetness to the locals."
"That's a good idea, sir"
Speaking of which, it's the Hota Shrine, and they're about to have a festival, aren't they? I'm talking about dropping in some money, but I feel like it would be exciting if I could even get it out in the street.
Let's also invite merchants from Tsushima to take this opportunity to strengthen cooperation between Tsushima and Hota.
