I just want to build a city

Not to mention, Haruki-kun was so upset by this special handicraft, between Kaiteng-kun and Xing, because of the red rope weaved when they were young, there was suddenly an embarrassing and unusual atmosphere.

Maybe the two of them didn't feel anything, but Haruki-kun, who was watching from the sidelines, was about to have an embarrassing cancer.

You know, he is the one who sees two people at most.After all, Xing needs to take care of his basic necessities, and Hai Teng-kun comes to report to him every day about various matters happening in the manor.

Seeing the two look at each other like this again, then suddenly bowed their heads in silence, Qingshu-kun coughed lightly.

"Cough cough."

"My lord, did you catch a cold in the cold weather today?" Xing immediately turned to Mr. Qingshu.

Qingshu Jun looked at Xing, turned his head lightly, and continued to look at the collection of poems brought by the Song Dynasty in his hand. There are not only Bai Juyi's, but also Li Bai and other great poets' masterpieces.

"No, it's just that my throat suddenly feels uncomfortable, and it's already healed."

Mr. Qingshu thought, he should not get involved in the affairs of these two people. If the red rope is really a special handicraft distributed by the system, it must have some effect!I can't let him worry about the emotional problems of his subordinates when he is bothered about the city building. Sorry, this, he really has no experience. He has been a single dog in his last life until now.

Forget it, he should obediently expand his territory.

The profit of the izakaya has already reached the usual money, but the seafood shop is still a half way away. This is also because the villagers of the manor were all from Linhai Village who are used to catching sea fish before this, so there is really no need to patronize the seafood shop. Business.

However, with the profit reward of the izakaya in front, Haruki-kun no longer has much hope for the random special handicrafts in the seafood shop.

I just hope that the medical hall, the reward book after the Craftsman Chamber of Commerce is completed, and the system will not be too devilish, so give him some hope.

In his previous life, he was a half-house, and he really couldn't do it like in the novel, with modern social technology, to shine in ancient times.

Qingshu-kun only knows how to make wine and sugar, and he doesn't even know how to make ramen. After all, he used to go to ramen shops in his previous life, or buy mature ramen directly at convenience stores.

Life is very Buddhist.Suddenly, Qingshu-kun wondered, is it because he had lived a very Buddhist life in his previous life, so the old man put him in such a garbage system, and now he is working so hard to make a living? !

Qingshu-kun shook his head, but decided not to think about this topic anymore, just like what his grandfather told him in his previous life, if he wants to avoid suffering for a lifetime, he must suffer for half his life.Now he should regard it as working hard for the half life that is not bitter.

In this awkward atmosphere, Kaito-kun reported another important matter to him.

"My lord, we already have some ideas about the candidates for the Inari Shrine's maiden."

Ok? !

Haruki-kun raised his eyes to look at Kaiteng-kun, put down the book in his hand, and prepared to listen to him speak in detail.

"In the former Linhai Village, there was an old man who moved here from Sanchong three years ago. He said that in the previous Sanchong, there was a 5-year-old girl with outstanding spiritual power. But..."

"But what?" Qingshu-kun asked, in fact, he had no hope in his heart. Three years later, who would know if the girl who was 5 years old and now 8 is still alive, and if she is alive, where she will be.

"However, Uncle Tiantian said that that child was called a sinner's child in Mie." Kai Teng-kun saw the puzzled expression on Qingshu's face, and explained the matter to him in detail.

Somewhere in the Linhai Mountains in the original Mie County, there are several villages that worship Fengshen Yimulian.

Fengshen Yimulian's head office is not on the top of the mountain in their small village, and the priestesses assigned are of good ability, but it seems that for some other reason, they were put in this mountain village to be the chief priestess of the shrine.

In the first few years, everyone was in awe of her, until she chose not to be a witch, married a woman, and gave birth to a daughter with outstanding spiritual power, things began to change.

Because, one year after the child was born, a storm suddenly rolled up near a certain village, which almost completely destroyed that village.

The villagers who almost died didn't know who was instigated by them, and they all accused the former great witch, saying that Fengshen Yimulian didn't allow the beloved witch to resign, marry and have children, so he offended the gods, and Yimulian just The wind whipped up and almost destroyed the village as a warning before retaliation.However, the witch has married and had children, and is already unclean, so the villagers of that village tied up the former great witch and his husband, and chose to sacrifice to the gods.As for the child, they didn't know where it was hidden by the witch, so they could only let it go.

The former great witch Kong has a whole body of skills, but they are all used to bless, exorcise, and deal with evil spirits. Facing the bondage of the villagers, she is completely helpless and powerless to resist.

The god sacrificed the witch and her husband, and there was no more storm near the village. Even the family entrusted by the witch to take care of the child believed for a long time that their family was a sinner who offended the god of wind.They couldn't send the big witch's child to die, they just sent her still ignorant into the mountains, and didn't allow her to come back, and gave her something from time to time.For the others, they dare not communicate any more.

This is the ignorance of the people in remote areas.If Yimulian was really angry, didn't the shrine society receive an oracle to understand the reason for the god's anger.Or, someone from the shrine wanted to kill the witch.

There may be maidens like Yamato Nadeko, who are powerful and beautiful, but unfortunately, in this era, those who are kind and resolute will definitely be suppressed and regarded as a thorn in the side.After all, you are likely to be in the way of others.

In the end, the storm destroyed most of the villages three years later, and because of this, the old man moved to Tottori with his children three days later. The family that secretly took care of the witch girl seemed to be lucky enough to survive the storm, and together with others Moved out of that place.

"A descendant of a witch with outstanding spiritual power..." Has potential, has a source, but unfortunately, after Yimulian destroyed the village three years ago, most of the villagers moved away, and no one gave her something from time to time. Maybe he's already gone elsewhere. "It's a pity, if it's here..."

"Three-day uncle said that when he went to other territories to lobby people to come to your territory, he heard from a fellow villager that he saw the child appear near Tottori before the winter of the previous year."

Mr. Qingshu took a deep breath, is God helping him?However, it was winter the previous year, and it has been almost a year since now. If I can find her before the New Year's Eve, I can go to Heianli with him at that time, and I can still get her from the priestesses of the God Festival, or to Abe-kun. Learn something there.

Now that she got the news that the child appeared in Tottori, Qingshu-kun sent someone to look for it. These days, the white fox god envoy who supervised the construction of the shrine also told her that the shrine can be completed around the New Year's Eve.

The shrine is no different than other buildings. Many things in it have to be consulted with the shrine to choose a suitable day to deliver and when to install them.

Qingshu-kun doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but the request of the shrine head office must be obeyed.The little priest from the shrine had mentioned to him about the priestess secretly, and even gave him a list of noble maidens, all of whom were selected by the shrine, but the name of Yoko was not included in the list .

It must be that she didn't want to expose the fact that she didn't retreat when she encountered a demon, so she didn't ask for this job.

Otherwise, she should be placed at the top of the list as she has experience in the Tottori Shinji Festival.

Haruki-kun doesn't know what these noble and witches are here for, but just as Abe-kun thought, he will not cause trouble for himself, and put a power that he can't control and place it in an important position in the shrine of.

He only glanced at this list, then casually put it in the pile of books he had read, and when Xing came to tidy it up, he asked her to throw it away.

After getting Qingshu-kun's order, Kaito-kun knew the importance of the shrine maiden, so he personally took people to the place mentioned by San Sanshu's old friend, and went to find the maiden's child every inch, but, these days, there was no one. The news came back, it seems that no one should be found.

Qingshu-kun sighed softly, thinking about it, in winter, it is simply impossible for a child without someone to take care of him to survive. If he really can't find it, he can only find it in Genji or Fujiwara's subsidiary. Among the clan girls, choose a suitable and obedient one, hold it in your hands, and send it to study.

The matter of the witch has not been settled, but it is also something that cannot be rushed.Here, Fujido-kun sent someone to pass the news to him. Now that the samurai mansion is built and they are used to the mansion dojo, it's time to gather strong men on the territory to form their own guards.

Today, most of the villagers in Qingshu-kun's territory are civilians, and there are no samurai households here. Naturally, the samurai mansion summons civilians and can only serve as patrol guards first, and wait for some of them to be the same as Koichiro back then. If you have made any achievements and credits, you can get the surname bestowed by the lord, and you will get rid of your status as a commoner and become a warrior in the future.

Qingshu-kun got the news of Todo-kun, so he asked Xing to get a pen and paper, wrote down the notice, and pasted it in front of the samurai mansion, and then remembered that most of the common people did not know a single word, because Kaito-kun was not in the territory Inside, let Nakata spread the news among the civilians.

The attendants of the manor held the notice and carefully pasted it on the wooden board erected in front of the samurai mansion.The attendants around the lord were all dressed differently from civilians and warriors, so as soon as they came out, they held papers, which attracted the attention of several civilians who were carrying hoes and were about to go to the ground. Seeing him busy, they posted a black and white paper. Something, in front of the samurai mansion, stopped far away, looking at the posted thing.Although he can't understand these words, it doesn't prevent him from reading it fresh. The samurai mansion is a place where everyone has a lot of face in the territory, especially before they moved to Genji's territory, all kinds of traders who oppressed them. They were even more proud of the cowering look of the patrolling warriors.This thing posted in front of the samurai's mansion, of course, you have to read it if you don't understand it, maybe someone who can read will come to read it to everyone later.

As more and more civilians gathered in front of the mansion, the samurai also received the news. After patrolling, they rested in the izakaya. They were samurai, so it was impossible for them to explain to the civilians what it was and what they wrote.

It was the traders who came after hearing the news to help the civilians in the territory.When they went out to do business, they naturally could read and write. Some of them had a good relationship with the common people, so they read the posted text and explained the meaning to the common people.

"This is a notice written by the lord, saying that it has been a few months since the samurai mansion was built. The dojo has been tried by the samurai adults, and there is no problem. Starting today, before the Yuan Dynasty, it is not necessary to start recruiting Yuanfu. Men up to the age of 30 will learn and train under the samurai every day, and will serve as patrol soldiers of the territory in the future." The merchant said so.

"Here, this is the prime of every family, do you have to go?" The old farmer next to the vendor frowned and shook the hoe on his shoulder. You know, if there are fewer prime men in the family to serve the crops, it doesn't mean that the amount of labor will be reduced by one. People, a middle-aged man can handle the workload of two old people.What's more, they also asked the steward Zhongtian to open up two more farmlands to serve them. If they really insisted on recruiting... Is the lord dissatisfied with their request for a few more farmlands?

For a while, the civilians around did not have any fresh ideas, especially the newcomers who had just arrived in this territory.

"That's right, it's not going to be tough. My boy is strong and can do the farming work of three people. If he is recruited now, there will only be me and two women in the family, and I will have an extra field.",

"I just said that there is no such good thing as tax revenue. It turns out that the young men are going to be taken away."

"Don't talk nonsense, there are so many densely written words here, Mao Lang, have you finished what the lord wrote?" Naturally, the first batch of Zhuang people are the most loyal to Mr. Qingshu, and one of the old people asked sternly The peddler who explained.

The trader shook his head, and was interrupted by the old farmer just now. He really didn't finish talking, why didn't he continue, in fact, he also wanted to watch the chaos of Genji's territory.After knowing that the owner of Genji's territory is really just a six-year-old child, not any adult of the Genji family, although these traders are still eager to communicate with the villagers and have a happy transaction, they are suppressed by a child and earn less. Too much money is still a bit unpleasant.Just want to see, after Genji's territory is in chaos, they can extract part of the money from it.However, seeing the commoner sneaking around the crowd with fierce gazes now, his heart shuddered.He was so proud, among the civilians, there was no Genji's eyes staring at outsiders like them.

"It's all your fault for interrupting. The lord has not finished what he wanted to say." The vendor patted the old farmer reproachfully, and continued. "Mature men up to the age of 30 after enlisting the Yuanfu do not force them. Anyone who wants to come can come. Those who officially become patrol soldiers can receive wages in the manor every month, and the wages are handed over by the villagers every year. allocated to the occupancy tax.”

As for the salary, it was not written on it, and neither did the vendor.However, the fact that there will be no compulsory recruitment, and that they can still get paid, made the surrounding civilians relax their sad faces.Some of them are not prepared to go to the samurai mansion to recruit, not to mention wasting so much time training and studying, whether they can be selected as patrol soldiers, and how much the village residents' occupancy tax can be paid every year. If you don't get much money, you should still serve the crops honestly. This kind of money comes steadily, and there is more.

Of course, not everyone thinks this way. For more than a year, the villagers of Shanglinhai Village have accumulated a small amount of money on the territory. Anyone in their family who is in their prime is ready to give it a try.The salary is not much, and it is regarded as a reward to the lord.Part of the reason is that they all watched how Hai Teng-kun left his status as a commoner and became a subordinate of the lord.If the members of their family successfully become patrol soldiers and do good deeds, will they also get the gift from the lord to remove their status as civilians? !

In the final analysis, it was because of the precedent of Kai Teng-kun and the wealth accumulated over a year that they were assured to try it out.As for the extra farmland, it's a big deal, the whole family has to work harder, and the opportunity to get rid of the status of civilians is not to be missed.

The young men called had to go through training and study before they could have the opportunity to become patrol soldiers. No one knew how many opportunities they had, so naturally they didn't express their small thoughts to the outside world.

Mr. Zhongtian called everyone together after returning home from farming in the evening, and told the story again. It was almost the same as what the merchants said, and they all meant the same thing, but he didn't get credit for being able to remove his status as a commoner. This matter, this is the order of the lord.You know, there are not many Zhuangmin people now, and there are new Zhuangmin joining. I don't know how many of them are uncertain. It is enough for some smart people to know the secret of this matter.

On the second day, someone came to the samurai mansion quietly, or walked in and out in a fair manner, for what they were going to do. Of course, needless to say, the number and list of people who signed up the first day were delivered to Xing's hands that night , after she has reviewed and sorted it out, it can be sent to Mr. Qingshu for her to review tomorrow morning.

Xing looked at the list in the flickering candlelight after waiting for Mr. Qingshu. of so-and-so.

After reading the names of these ten people, Xing frowned and thought for a long time, then picked up a pen, and before writing the names of these people, first wrote a person's name and surname in the first column: Kaito Koichiro.

On the second morning, Qingshu-kun ran out of bean paste and ordered soup tofu, rice, and boiled beans. After cleaning his hands, he took the first list from Xing.Opening the list, the name of the first person made him raise his eyebrows.

"Kaito Koichiro..."

Hearing Kaito Koichiro's name pronounced in such a meaningful way, Xing paused for a while, and then made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea calmly.

"Hmm." Jun Qingshu took a sip of tea, pondered for a while, put down the list in his hand, and asked Xing who was kneeling beside him with a smile. "So Kai Teng-kun came back yesterday? Why didn't he come to report to me about the witch girl first, instead he went to the samurai mansion to sign up first."

"Kai Teng-kun's name was written down by me." Xing knelt down on the ground and admitted it decisively.

Mr. Qingshu didn't let her get up, picked up the list booklet, continued to look down, and said casually: "Well, let me tell you the reason."

"Now that the territory is on the right track, I think Mr. Zhongtian's son can already help Mr. Zhongtian handle the taxation of common people. Mr. Zhongtian's son is much smarter than Mr. Zhongtian and knows how to respond. As a manor There is no problem in cultivating future stewards from within.”

"Just Kaito-kun."

"..." Xing took a deep breath, seeing that the little master must tease him to tell the main point, so he stopped playing around. "Samurai Army, you must be an important force in your hands in the future. Naturally, this kind of power cannot be handed over to others to be the leader. General Fujido will leave here sooner or later. Those who go back to General Lai Xin, the first batch of people on the list , most of them are from the original Linhai Village. I think the most suitable person who can suppress the leaders of these people, is trustworthy, and can control the power of the samurai in the territory in the future, is Kai Teng-kun. And..."

"Well, what else?" Qingshu-kun glanced through these brochures hastily, and looked at Xing who was lying on the ground with great interest.Haruki-kun only noticed today that the old red string that had been on her wrist after Kaito-kun returned it to her had disappeared.Thinking about it now, when Kaito-kun resigned from him that day and went to find the witch girl, he really had an irrepressible look of joy on his face.

"Also, this position is even more prosperous." She wanted to plan for Kai Teng-kun.

Qingshu-kun clutched his little heart with his right hand, feeling sore. "Hey, it turns out that I'm no longer the first one in Xing's mind."

"Of course you are the number one in my heart and Kaito-kun's."

"Get up, get up." Even though Qingshu-kun felt sour, he still couldn't bear to bully the one who took care of him since he was a child, and the wife who was left by his mother to take care of him. "Help me get the paper and pen, and then ask someone to go to Chu Qi to get some good wine, and send it to Ping An Jing with the letter."

Xing got up obediently, brought a pen and paper, and asked Qingshu-kun in a low voice who he wanted to write a letter to.

Qingshu-kun looked up at her and clicked his tongue. "I know how Kaito-kun treated me these years, and this year. Now, good things are about to happen, and I want to see good things for you. It is most credible to ask Abe-sama for help in this matter." That’s right, no one in the country can compare to him in his divination ability. He wouldn’t mind divining the time of marriage for my maid. As a favor, a good wine will do. It will be deducted from your monthly money."

Xing paused for grinding the ink in her hands, then blushed, and lowered her head deeply, not wanting Haruki-kun to see her embarrassment.

"Yes, thank you."
