I just want to build a city

Chapter 14 The Samurai Settles In

Although they keep complaining about the system, the shops still need to be built quickly.Building a store is not like building a shrine. You need to choose an auspicious day and report it to Heianjing.In order to catch up with the harvest day of the Zhuangmin, Mr. Qingshu directly sent the hired craftsmen to start the work with all the staff, and built the shop in advance, and built it next to the main road with two or three houses next to the izakaya.

Under Qingshu-kun's urgent urging, the construction of the shop started. Because it was still early to build the shrine, some of the building materials prepared for the shrine were first used.

In the middle of the construction of the shop, Taro Yamaguchi came back from Heian Kyoto. However, he was not the only one who came back this time. He was accompanied by the samurai Todo-kun who had not left Genji Manor not long ago.

In the guest room, Haruki-kun couldn't hide his surprise when he saw Todo who came from Heian-kyo again.

"Todo-kun, you are here with me this time, is it Father, do you have any valuables that you need to escort?"

Fujido-kun saluted him first before explaining the reason to him.

"The general didn't need me to escort things over. After I returned to Ping'an Jing, forgive me for my troubles. I told the owner about the fact that there seemed to be monsters and evil spirits in the young master's territory. The young master has not yet taken clothes. The warriors in the manor There are only a few of you, and you have to go back and forth between Heian-kyo and Tottori during the New Year's Eve. The general is worried about the safety of the young master, so he sent me to wait for you to stay in the manor territory temporarily to help you develop your own armed forces power."

Qingshu-kun tapped the desktop with his little hand. He knew that Fujido-kun had always been one of his father's confidantes, so he was allowed to stay here until his manor had a complete armed force. Father's side , will there be no problem?

Qingshu-kun thought so, and naturally asked the same question.

"Please rest assured that there are no recent disturbances in the country that need to be rehabilitated. In Heian capital, we are still at home. If the general has something to send troops, we will ride there immediately. If we ride horses to Heian capital to meet the general, It will be there in less than ten days."

It's a sweet time, just the time for the integration and preparation of the samurai army, and there will be no delay.If something urgent happened, Fujitang and the others would hurry back without worrying about the horses.The speed of horses is indeed much faster than that of ox carts.Now that my father and Todo-kun have said so, Haruki-kun stopped thinking about it, and what troubles him now is another matter.

Just after Qingshu-kun and Fujido finished talking, the interface of the Cairo small system popped up again. Following the unfinished profit tasks of the two shops, the task prompt popped up again, no need to go to Look, Mr. Qingshu can also guess that this mission is probably related to the samurai.

I can guess that it is the same thing, but afterward, Qingshu-kun used the Wakabook as a cover-up, consciously clicked on a new task, and after a closer look, he was still frightened. .

The new tasks popped up by the system are as follows:

Task: Your father specially sent a samurai army to help you form your own samurai force. Please build a samurai mansion for future samurai to live and rest.

Mission Reward: Military Assistance from the Genji Samurai Army (Rewards are being distributed)

Task: The samurai profession appears in your territory, please build a dojo for the training of the samurai.

Mission reward: Gym bonus (all warriors who enter the gym for training will have +5% loyalty to you and the territory)

Task: The samurai profession appears in your territory, and you will soon have your own samurai power. Please build a weapon shop and let the samurai arm themselves.

Task reward: weapon bonus (all warriors equipped with weapons produced in the weapon store will have +5% loyalty to you and the territory)

Task: The samurai profession has appeared in your territory, and you will soon have your own samurai power. In order to facilitate your future samurai army power to control the manor in the territory, please build a prison to let the samurai handle trivial matters and events in the territory.

Task Reward: Bonus for what you do (your prestige to everyone in the manor territory +5%)

Qingshu-kun tried his best to maintain a peaceful mind, clicked on the construction menu, and checked the cost of building materials needed for these buildings one by one. He only saw the first task, the amount of money needed for the samurai mansion, so he couldn't help but close Cairo. system interface.

"apricot."

Kyoko, who was kneeling at the side, sorting out the books she had read for Haruki-kun, heard his summons, and walked forward on her knees, waiting for what he had to say.

"Tell me, if I let Fujido-kun and his party leave now, is there still time?"

Xing slightly widened her eyes, raised her head impolitely, and looked at the little master with a puzzled look in her eyes and face. "General Yoshinobu sent Todo-kun and others to show his importance to you. Isn't that a good thing? Moreover, with Todo-kun and others here, you will definitely be able to prepare a samurai army that is no less powerful than the army. Why do you want them to go back?"

This is because you don't know, as soon as they come, the system starts to take money out of his pocket.A samurai mansion needs nearly 10 guan of silver for materials and money.Just one building can spend the money earned from producing sugar a few days ago.Of course, it is impossible to elaborate on these words with a second person, Qingshu-kun can only swallow this aggrieved feeling silently.Fortunately, the Cairo system is not like the systems seen in the previous life novels. There will be time limits for tasks, and there will be punishments if the tasks are not completed.

However, in the mission prompt, although there is no punishment shown, Qingshu-kun can imagine that he can build these buildings later, but if he puts aside and does not do it, these warriors who are temporarily stationed in his territory , I am afraid that it will affect his impression and loyalty, because I feel that I have neglected them.Maybe, it’s more than that. If Fujido-kun and the others go back, they may report to their father Yoshinobu Minamoto’s affairs and treatment in the manor’s territory. Then without Genji’s care, it’s not hard for Haruki-kun to imagine that the road ahead, How difficult will it be.

For various reasons, samurai mansions, dojos, weapons stores, and enforcement offices are all to be built.However, as the money is too shy at the moment, it is better to contact the craftsmen first and let them build a samurai mansion first.Mr. Qingshu, who is used to the stinginess of Cairo's small system, is too lazy to complain about the system task rewards at this time.He was a little bit disgusted before, the rewards for the store's profit rewards, [special handicrafts], now that he has been subjected to the system again and again, he is somewhat looking forward to what these special handicrafts will be, and through what channels, Issued to him in reality.

"It's nothing, it's just that my thoughts are suddenly a little confused, probably because of some discomfort today."

"Do you need me to find someone to take a look at? I'll ask Kai Teng-kun to send someone..." Hearing that Qing Shu-kun said that she was feeling unwell, Xing became a little nervous. It is indeed easy to get sick in the spring season Seasons, when Miss Yuko was alive, every time this time came, the condition would be more serious.Qingshu-kun has not been in good health since he was born, and when he heard him say that he was feeling unwell, Xing became a little nervous.

Qingshu-kun hurriedly called Xing to stop. "It's just a little dizzy for a while. It's probably because I've caught a cold. I'll go and take a rest later. Let the kitchen prepare lighter meals for today."

He is full of suppressed anger now, and if he doesn't eat lightly, he is really afraid that tomorrow he will develop an ulcer because of his excessive anger, and he will be the one who suffers.

"Yes."

"Compared to this, Xing, have you contacted the craftsmen?"

"After Hai Teng-kun appointed the manager, I will hand over these matters to him. Are you worried about the construction progress of the shop? Please rest assured that Hai Teng-kun tells me about the construction progress of the shop every day. Before the crops are harvested, I think, the shops can be built successfully."

Qingshu-kun nodded his head to show that he understood. "Well, that's good news, but I'm going to say something else."

"Please order."

"Since my father sent Fujido-kun and others over here, we can't neglect it. It's really not good to let the samurai of the Genji army live in the manor, and it's not convenient to be in the manor. You have to exercise yourself every day. The warriors act."

Xing nodded. "You said so."

"Since Kaito-kun is in charge of contacting the craftsmen, then go talk to him and ask these craftsmen if they know any craftsmen in other prefectures and hire them to build a samurai mansion and dojo. As for Tottori Prefecture Craftsmen, and the construction of the Inari Shrine are waiting for them, neither of these two things should be delayed."

"Yes, I'm going to discuss this matter with Kai Teng-kun. We will take care of the rest. Please rest as soon as possible, and don't let your body get bad luck because of the cold spring."

"Well, I know."

After saying this, Qingshu-kun went back to his dormitory to rest, he needed to lie down and calm down the fact that his purse was about to be empty again.

On the other hand, after Xing finished talking about this matter with Kaito-kun, Kaito-kun immediately went to find the craftsman to carry out the task assigned by Qingshu-kun.Xing took the key to the warehouse where the money was stored, and went to settle how much money was needed in the manor this time.Holding the ledger, after calculating the cost of materials needed for the samurai mansion and gymnasium and the employment fee of craftsmen, Xing's hand clinging to the brush suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Looking at the numbers on the ledger, Xing suddenly seemed to understand why Haruki-kun said earlier whether he could let Fujido-kun and his samurai leave.

No, it shouldn't be. The lord has never seen the new ledger, so how could he know that the manor's finances will be reduced due to this.Moreover, with the skill of making sugar in his hands, the lord will not be short of money because of it.

Xing didn't think too much about it. After calculating the approximate cost, she contacted Mr. Nakata and asked someone to buy new construction materials. When the craftsmen from the next county contacted by Mr. Kaiteng arrived, they might be able to start working immediately. It won't take much time.

……

Under the rush of all craftsmen, the shop was successfully completed before the spring.Afterwards, Hai Teng-kun sent someone to deliver the news to the shops in the next village and town. Just as the villagers were harvesting, a small group of vendors came to Genji Manor, carrying some goods and a sum of money. The small silver coins are here to buy the new rice harvested by the farmers.

Before the purchase, they also went to Zhuang Min's fields for a walk, and unexpectedly found that the crops in Genji's territory were much better than those in most other clan territories they had been to.Why?Is it the reason of water and soil? It is still like the gossip, the young master Genji is really blessed by the Inari god, the god of food and gas.

Of course they don't know that the lords in most of the territories are not like Mr. Qingshu, who will choose to give the villagers loose taxes and treatment.Commoners who have lived in poverty for a long time, if they are given hope, they will work hard for this hope.Since most of the income from the fields goes into their own pockets, they will take care of the crops in their fields more carefully so that they can have more income.It's just that most people don't understand this truth. In this world where gods and monsters really exist, these only make them really think that Genji Haruki is a person who is really loved by the gods.

As the vendors can see, most of the crops in the Genji Manor territory are of good quality, with quality assurance and the presence of warriors stationed there. Price, bought this batch of crops from the villagers.

Excluding the part that needs to be handed over to the manor, the farmers got the money they had harvested in the past half year, and they cried and laughed when they left the shop.After all, for them, this life is not all hard work, so they are happy now.

After Kaito-kun officially became the steward of the manor, he arranged everything in an orderly manner. Even now, he has considered things that Qingshu-kun didn't care about.After the villagers got their harvest and exchanged for money, they made an appointment with the old man from the original upper Linhai village, the talkative characters from the lower Linhai village who joined later, and the old man Shanlang from the mountain people.Gathered them and talked in their original hut.

"The lord is tolerant, regardless of benefits, and gave us a good life. We should be grateful."

"Yes, yes." The villagers who were called nodded in agreement.

Kai Teng-kun looked at the acquaintances and those who were not yet familiar, and continued. "The lord did not ask us to be grateful to him, but I don't want to indulge some people's hearts because of his tolerance."

"Kiroichiro, what do you mean..."

"In the manor, the younger generation has not experienced too many hardships outside. I am afraid... After a long time, they will think that what the lord has given them is something they should do." Said Mr. Hai Teng . "The lord's clan is a big clan in Heian capital. There are always some rival clans spying on the adults' actions. If so, the people in the village will be instigated by others. I want to tell everyone here. I am Kaito Koichiro , since I have received favor from the lord, there is nothing to repay, but I will definitely drive those people out of Genji's territory before the matter is enlarged and presented to the lord, and I will not care about the old relationship. If you don't want your children In the hard days before, restrain their thoughts and behaviors."

"Yes……"

The villagers agreed, not to mention the younger generation who are still uncertain, just some of them, because the lord has created good living conditions around them one after another.From the beginning of being grateful, I began to feel very normal.Do you want to live the old days?No, these old people shook their heads vigorously as they recalled their previous life.They are determined not to go back when they are suffering from hunger and cold, and are distressed and weeping for life every day.

Under Kai Teng-kun's warning, these people all went back to their small circle and began to warn their children and themselves over and over again.What's more, he directly took the ignorant child to live with a friend in the neighboring territory for a period of time. I'm afraid this kind of behavior will become a custom in the future.

Mr. Qingshu didn't know about these things. After all, he couldn't drive the map of Cairo all the time and watch every move of the villagers in his territory.In addition to being prompted by the system, he will step by step develop and improve the life around him. On weekdays, he spends most of his time drinking green tea, reading waka poetry collections that he doesn't like, and enjoying a wonderful three days a day with the White Fox God Envoy. Let's eat.

However, in a few months, it will be one year since Haruki-kun came to Tottori Manor.The entire manor has also begun to get used to the lifestyle of the lord who requires three meals a day.The first step has been successful, and Mr. Qingshu began to think about the second step of change, which is to make meat other than fish smooth and serve on his table every day.

However, what is placed in front of Qingshu-kun is a big problem.Because from the emperor to the common people, most people believe in gods and Buddhas.The emperor even directly issued an order not to kill, but to eat animal meat.In modern times, people are regarded as gourmet cattle, and here it is also a travel tool for clans to travel and represent their identity.You can't let Mr. Qingshu kill his representative cow. At that time, before the matter reaches Ping'an capital, everyone in the manor will probably think that he has gone crazy.

Thinking of this, Mr. Qingshu couldn't help lamenting that his little appetite was so hard to satisfy.

In the next step, the idea of ​​putting meat on the table is confirmed, but there is really no hope for this path, so we can only put it aside for now.With Mr. Qingshu's hint, half of the mountain people who moved into the manor in winter still planted the previous crop, sweet potato.According to the mountain people, in spring, when the light is not strong, it takes five or six months for sweet potatoes to mature and harvest. At that time, after harvesting, let the land rest for a while before planting, and then harvest again in winter.

Unfortunately for Mr. Qingshu, these sweet potatoes are all photosensitive, but they can be harvested twice a year, which is considered a good result.

Speaking of sweet potatoes, the green plums on the mountain behind the manor are also blooming. In June and July, green plums can be harvested for brewing green plum wine.Of course, Haruki-kun can't just wait for the sweet potatoes and greengages to ripen during the time deficit. The shrines and samurai mansions, the construction of the dojo, and the follow-up matters don't allow him to spend his days leisurely.When reading waka anthology, Haruki-kun rarely found a way to make money other than eating.

That is letter paper.

In the romantic Heian era, the first step for men and women to communicate with each other was the exchange of letters.You express my admiration for you with a Japanese song, and I express my feelings for you with a Japanese song. Then we meet and have an affair. The final result, of course, is that most women are just so affectionate. Men abandoned.However, the result of the romance is not what Qingshu-kun is concerned about.The way he thought of making money was the letter paper in the correspondence between men and women of the clan when they were romantic.

The letter paper at this time was not like the modern ones. There were so many patterns, such as flowers and plants, and cheap spices were added to make the letter paper fragrant. It was just a simple white paper.At this time, there are no cheap factory spices that Qingshu-kun can add to the paper, but the stamps on the letters can make some sense.

Thinking of this, Mr. Qingshu asked Haiteng to find those children in the village. Spring is the time when all kinds of flowers are in full bloom. He asked those children to help him pick flowers and use the desserts made by the manor cook as reward. Come to think of it, those kids will be very happy.

To get this errand from Kaito-kun, the children who have the experience of picking chrysanthemums last time are of course very happy to do it.Just spend a little thought when playing around, and you can get snacks every day. What could be better than this?

The children in the village flocked to the fields and the foot of the mountain, and began to look for the beautiful flowers they could find.

At the end of the day, in the courtyard of the manor, a small pile of various flowers, such as morning glory and winter jasmine, were piled up.Here, Mr. Qingshu asked people to go up the mountain again, and picked the uncured resin from the trees on the mountain, and asked the maids to use small brushes and milky white rice paste to stick the flowers on the letter paper, Unset resin, thinly covering the surface and surroundings of the flower.

The slightly yellowish resin slightly affects the color of the flowers, but the thin layer of yellowish, if you don't look carefully, it doesn't seem to be an eyesore.After the resin has solidified, it has well sealed the beauty of the flowers at this time and stuck to the letter paper. If you write a few beautiful waka, it will surely make those girls blush even more.Even the maids who made these floral letter papers couldn't help holding them in their hands for a long time.

After the flowers were stuck to the letter paper, making sure that they would not fall off easily, Qingshu-kun asked the maid who is good at fine brushwork to dip the brush into the color grinded from the flowers, and began to trace the pattern drawn by Qingshu-kun around the letter paper , it's not quite the same, but it looks pretty good.

Of course, Mr. Qingshu is only planning to do this kind of easy-to-imitate way of making money this time. The vendors who came here finally bought these floral letter papers at three times the price of ordinary paper, which is not much. Income, but also let the attendants in the manor have fun in their leisure time, everyone is very happy, when Qingshu Jun can't see, these maids with a little girl mentality still compare in private who made the flowers The letter paper looks better, but compared to the past, the one that Qingshu-kun made as a template at the beginning is the most beautiful.Even on the paper, there is still a faint fragrance of peach blossoms, which is the scent of incense selected by Mr. Qingshu in spring. Xing took it away, but Haosheng put it away.
