I just want to build a city

If you look around, you can see the area of ​​Tottori Prefecture in front of you.Santiao, father, son, and uncle followed a small group of Genji warriors led by Genji, and soon came to Qingshu-kun's territory.

However, the four Santiao men did not look very happy on their faces.Especially the two younger men among them.

"Not far ahead is the territory of the young master. Let's move on after we have used our dry food here." The Genji warrior who took the lead said this to the three and four.

"According to what the general said." Among the four, the older man replied to the Genji warrior who took the lead.

In this way, a group of people stopped at the side of the road and took a short rest.

They each brought their own dry food, made a pile of three or four, lit a fire, warmed up the dry food a little, and then ate it with the boiled hot water.

Of course, the four members of the Santiao family got together in a group by themselves.

The youngest among them poked the fire a few times, but couldn't bear it anymore, and leaned forward, whispering to the oldest man.

"Uncle, why on earth did we not choose to follow General Laiguang, but come here to suffer? Not to mention what can be found here, following General Laiguang, maybe the swords and swords forged by our family are likely to be famous through the ages."

The older man raised his eyes and glanced at the young man, tore open the soft dry food in his hand, and stuffed it halfway into his hand, wanting to make the boy say less now.

"If you are dissatisfied with my choice, you can go back to Heian capital with Genji's warriors at that time."

"No, I didn't mean that." The young man said softly.

"Brother, you should explain it clearly to them, otherwise it will be too late if you say something wrong when you reach the young master's territory."

The man swallowed the dry rations and pancakes in his mouth, seeing the uneasy appearance of the two juniors along the way, under the persuasion of his brother, he still explained the matter to them, just as his brother said, when he got to the territory, he said something wrong, but No one can save them.

"The way that General Raikou has practiced does not belong to the swords we forged." The older man, Sanjo Munekin said. "Ghosts and evil spirits have their own priests such as onmyoji and witches to retreat. The swords we forge should be held in the hands of warriors and open up territories on the battlefield."

It's no wonder that Sanjo Zongjin thinks so, and holds such stubborn ideas.In today's era, monsters and evil spirits strike, and warriors can draw their swords to fight back, but more of them are based on the battlefield.Like Minamoto Larimitsu and his four cronies, samurai who focus on killing ghosts are really a special case today.

Swordsmiths also have their own ideas. Swords are like the children they created, and they should be used in the right place. They should split the enemy's body and wear it on the admirable lord or general to show glory. Not falling into the way of demons and ghosts.

The swords they forged were not demon swords.

"Even so, there's no need to choose to come here, father." Zong Jin's son looked around cautiously, and no warrior noticed their conversation, so he said.

Sanjo Zongjin shook his head lightly, patted the bread crumbs on his hands, and finished his dry food. "Young Master Genji, the news about him in Heian-kyo. Most of them are that he is good at playing with elegant things since he was a child, and he is more comfortable in the countryside. But as Genji's retainers, you only see these one-sided things?"

The two young men whose hearts were still not very stable lowered their eyes in embarrassment.

"Before this young master had no close contact with Genji, and he only met General Fujido a few times. Only two escort missions won half of the general's heart. During the mission, he was the first to stand up."

Seeing that the surrounding warriors were almost out of food, Santiaozong picked up the loess and extinguished the fire in front of him. "During the New Year's Eve, I took the initiative to stay in the Tottori territory. Even if Genji's young master is not what I'm looking for, a suitable lord will be a good place for me to temporarily settle down when Heian-kyo is about to go into chaos. place."

Only then did the two boys understand what their fathers were thinking and thinking about. Looking at the extinguished fire, their hearts were settled.

"Hey... wait, father/uncle, we haven't finished eating yet."

"Be hungry." Uncle Santiao took back the dry food from the hands of the two juniors. The surrounding warriors had already got up and were ready to move on. He delayed eating, so who should wait for them?

The two elders of the Santiao family looked at their children and sighed secretly. Another more important point is that the younger generation is so careless, how can they feel relieved to let them go through the muddy waters of the clan together.

The team escorting Santiao's family arrived at the manor's territory on the second day after the blacksmith's family arrived.

After arriving in the manor, looking at the surrounding scenery, people and buildings, the two juniors of the Santiao family had to admit that what their fathers said was not wrong.I think it's been less than two years since this little Genji moved to Tottori, but the territory he has managed is more stylish than some adults.

Moreover, what touched them the most was that, unlike the villagers in other territories, the civilians here did not look distressed by life, and their clothes were not so dirty.If it weren't for the vicissitudes of life brought about by the past, I'm afraid they would feel that their life is comparable to today's small clan.

"It's all thatched cottages."

"Because most of the people here are civilians."

"We've just arrived, so I'm afraid we're going to live in thatched huts, so don't show dissatisfaction in front of the lord." Uncle Santiao told the two children in such a low voice.

"Yes."

Passing through the residential groups of civilians, they also saw izakaya, exquisite storefronts, medical halls, etc. in the main road.

This is really terrible, you know, common people are sick, but almost no one treats them, so that most of them rely on the monks in the temple for help, which makes the common people become Buddhists and respect the monks even more.

This young man was so generous to let a doctor come to treat all kinds of civilians.A pleasant izakaya was also opened among them.

where they will work in the future.Of course, I also saw the weapon shop that was still closed.Then I saw the imposing samurai mansion next to the weapon shop.

Seeing this samurai mansion and the dojo where men were full of imposing training calls, Sanjo Zongjin's eyes lit up.

This is for the lord who pays attention to military strength. Here, his children with swords and swords will definitely find a suitable master to serve him.

Mr. Qingshu's territory is not too big, and the group of people walked for a while before arriving at the gate of the manor.Only four fathers, sons and uncles from the Sanjo family came to meet Qingshu-kun, and the accompanying samurai had already gone to the izakaya to relax under the arrangement of Nakatahara.

Along the way, Santiao's family became more and more curious about this little lord, and now they are finally going to meet him.

"I have seen the Lord."

The four brothers, father and son of the Santiao family knelt down and saluted. The youngest young man still couldn't restrain his curiosity. Like an adult, calm and indifferent eyes.

Sanjo Shinsuke peeked at the captured bag, and quickly lowered his head.How could his stupid son's actions escape his father's eyes, and he saluted Qingshu-kun again, hoping that he would forgive his stupid son's rude behavior.

Mr. Qingshu didn't feel anything, he was not a princess in his boudoir, so there was nothing he couldn't see.

"Sanjo-kun was chosen by my father. Of course, I believe in my father's vision, but I have never dabbled in matters related to swords before. I don't know how long Sanjo-kun's family has forged swords and what famous swords they have forged."

The four members of the Santiao family heaved a sigh of relief when Mr. Qingshu asked such a question. It doesn't matter if the lord asks, because he is afraid of being indifferent, so he doesn't ask them these things.Then, when they came here, they were really just fooling around, which was not what Santiao Zongjin wanted.

"My lord, the Santiao family has been forging swords for more than 50 years. At the beginning, they focused on the forging technique from the Han Dynasty, and later devoted themselves to integrating the forging essence of Tang swords. Now there are countless swords forged. If you say forging What about the famous swords that come out..." Sanjo Zongjin thought for a while, and didn't know whether to speak modestly about the swords forged by the predecessors, or proudly say that he forged the sword himself.Santiao couldn't figure out what kind of person this little lord liked. In front of these people who were born to be superior, one wrong sentence was enough to affect their future lives.

"If you want to talk about the famous swords forged by the Sanjo family, the most outstanding one is the Ima sword forged by the Sanjo Zongjin." Sanjo hesitated to say anything, but Fujido said it.When he was under General Lai Xin, the sword in Fujido's hand was always repaired and taken care of by the Sanjo family, so he had a good relationship with the Sanjo family. He knew the man's concerns and simply answered for him.Sanjo Zongjin seems to put all the extra thoughts in forging in his daily life, so that he looks forward and backward. In fact, sometimes he really worries too much. Take Haruki-kun as an example, he doesn't care about this kind of thing. Glitch.

"Jinjian..." Mr. Qingshu recited the name carefully in his mouth, and he always felt as if he had heard it somewhere before, but this time was not the time for him to think about it. laughed. "It seems that the forging skills of the Santiao family are really amazing. Even I, a kid who doesn't know much about swords, seems to have heard the name of this famous sword somewhere. It must have been unintentional, and I heard it a lot. "

"The lord is too famous." Santiao Zongjin understood a little from the conversation of the lord. The lord is currently a good lord to get along with.

Qingshu-kun tapped the palm of his hand persistently with the fan, thinking about it, there is nothing wrong, people have already met, and the panel information of these people can also be seen in the pixel map.Seeing the tiredness in their brows and eyes, Mr. Qingshu didn't bother them anymore, and then everyone retreated.

Nakata was going to lead the four members of the Sanjo family to the hut where they lived, but was stopped by General Todo.

"Mr. Nakata, I know Sanjo-kun and I know where their residences are arranged. Next, let me lead the way. By the way, I will also catch up with Sanjo-kun. The manor is currently being remodeled, and there should be many things waiting for you Go get busy."

Nakatahara glanced at the two people in front of him, and didn't insist much. "Then, I will trouble General Todo."

Seeing Nakatahara leaving just like that, Sanjo Zongjin frowned slightly and looked at Todo-kun. "Is that all right?"

General Fujido patted him on the shoulder and led him out of the manor. "Don't think too much, Suyao Genji comes from the Fujiwara family, but he doesn't have the problems of ordinary clan nobles. I will take you to your future residence to settle down, and then I will take you to the manor."

"Then trouble the general."

Sure enough, it was similar to what Santiao Zongjin had expected. The residence Qingshu arranged for them was also a thatched cottage. If there was a gap, there would always be some discomfort in living in a small courtyard with bricks and tiles before but now living in a thatched cottage.

Santiao Zongjin and his brother didn't show it on the face, and the two children were reminded, but their eyes were still a little disappointed.Fujido-kun saw this and led them into the thatched cottage. "Let's live in this hut now and deal with it. Now everything in the manor territory is being perfected and developed, and money is needed everywhere."

"Could it be that Genji and Fujiwara are still short of money?" Sanjo Shinsuke asked bluntly.

"General Lai Xin and Master Fujiwara are certainly not short of money, but the young master has never asked them for money. The current territory can develop into what it is now, and the money consumed in it is earned by the young master himself." Fujido said these words because he wanted his old friend not to underestimate Haruki Minamoto just because of his age, and to obey his words.Maybe Santiao Zongjin can't do it, but these two juniors who are not very stable in mind don't know.

"Is the profit of wine so high?" Another young man Santiao Xinzong asked again.

"Beverages alone can't earn the money needed to build a whole territory of thatched huts, shops, samurai mansions, etc. The method of making the sugar bowls sold by Genji's men and Fujiwara's hands is the young master's idea, of course There are other things, it is inconvenient to say more.”

Who doesn't know that Genji and Fujiwara have a lot of sugar in their hands?It's just how these candies come from. Many aristocrats want to know about this matter, but they never imagined that these candies are boiled from sweet potatoes.Those aristocrats are so covetous about sugar, how well sugar sells in China, and this method of making sugar is actually from the hands of a 7-year-old child?No, Haruki-kun was only 6 years old when the sugar was sold.

"The thatched cottage was built with the money of the lord himself?" Nobusuke was a little unbelievable.

"of course."

"This is why, in other territories, don't the commoners build their own houses? Not to mention those thatched houses, even the clan lords want to build something, but they use the money they scraped from the commoners."

Fujido looked outside the thatched hut, those laughing and laughing children, and the civilians who basically showed no distress on their faces, threw the question back to himself.

"Don't you have any other answers in your heart along the way?"

Yes, thinking about it this way, the four members of the Santiao family are not so hard to accept living in thatched cottages.Excluding the craft of forging swords, they are actually not much better than ordinary people.Of course, it wasn't just the four members of the Santiao family who understood this. The three blacksmiths, father and son, who had come over yesterday, after wandering around the territory, didn't have so many thoughts about living in thatched cottages.It's just that they don't have much trouble in their hearts anymore, but there is no way to erase the thatched hut upgrade task that popped up from Mr. Qingshu's system panel.

Fortunately, this is not a task that needs to be completed urgently. There are still too few craftsmen in the territory. The group of craftsmen who have settled in the territory are now busy working with Abe Seimei to renovate the layout of the manor. Come on, go build other things.Not to mention the task of upgrading thatched huts, the Enforcement Office and the Artisan Chamber of Commerce have not yet been completed. Now it is not a problem of lack of money, but a problem of insufficient manpower.

After thinking for a long time, Mr. Qingshu still decided to call the chief craftsman. These craftsmen were dismantled from other territories, so the number of them was not large, and it was not enough to cope with the possible more and more work in the future, but , before recruiting craftsmen again, Qingshu-kun should first support the current craftsman leader.

"The lord wants to find another craftsman to arrange other jobs?" the craftsman leader asked boldly.

Qingshu-kun nodded in response. "That's right, I have other arrangements for the future, and I really can't wait until you are free."

The head craftsman didn't show any dissatisfaction, on the contrary he was a little embarrassed. "Actually, there is something that I don't know how to tell you, my lord."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"The brother who was studying carpentry under the same master as me at the beginning is now working in the next county. The last time I wrote to him, he said that his current life is not very good. When we were under the master, our relationship is that The best, now that he is living in hardship, I want him to bring his people to your territory, Lord Lord. However, some Lords will not keep two artisan teams in their territory. My last The lord has always felt that there are too many craftsmen, so I brought my people to you to discuss life after seeing the development prospects here. Because I don't know your thoughts, I have been embarrassed Let me mention this matter to you, if you are short of manpower, my lord, can you let me send a letter to my senior brother so that they can come here?"

This head craftsman is a kind person, Qingshu-kun has never disliked this kind of person.Since he has a close relationship with the head craftsman, he shouldn't be a bad person. It will be easier to manage by recruiting people who come to know him.Mr. Qingshu agreed to let the master craftsman's brother come to settle in.

When his senior brother arrives, there must be extra manpower to let him clean up the accumulated tasks.

……

With Abe Seimei's bad idea, although Haruki-kun has recovered from the cold and fever, he still pretends that he is still a little weak.The medical skills in the Heian period in Japan were not good, and there were even fewer doctors. Otherwise, ordinary people would not have no way to cure their diseases, so they would go to the monks in the temple.Mr. Qingshu insisted that his body was still unwell, and a doctor who was not that proficient in medical skills could only say hesitantly that the lord probably had some root causes of illness in the previous two times and needed constant recuperation.According to the doctor, Xing Yi wrote down these instructions.

However, wouldn't she know what her little master was planning? Both she and Kai Teng-kun knew it well.However, the only waywardness at this point is nothing to the two of them.It's rare for the lord to have a childish side, and the two married people are willing to cover it up for Qingshu-kun, and they are used to this little problem.

In this way, apart from Haruki-kun himself, Abe Seimei, and the Kaito couple, everyone else more or less knew about the weakness of the lord's body. If one is not careful, one may get sick.

The villagers in the manor territory couldn't help but lament that good people don't have good fate.

It is not an easy task to make adjustments to arrange the array on the basis of the layout of the manor. Seimei Abe spent a whole month traveling between Heiankyo and Tottori before the layout was completed.In this way, except for Seimei's shikigami who can enter and leave the manor at will, it is impossible for other monsters to enter the manor.

As for the outside of the manor...

Qingming Jun looked at the little ghost who was really leaning over the desk, earnestly drawing various spells, and smiled.With such a little wolf cub around, it might not be so easy for the monsters to take advantage of it.

Now that Lord Qingming has arranged these formations and taught the wanderer for a whole month, it's time to go back to Ping'an capital and continue dealing with those clans.

"The interesting days are too long, so I started to relax a little bit. It's time to go back and see the ugliness of those nobles to adjust my life."

After Seimei-kun left the above words, he did not come to Tottori Haruki-kun's manor the next day.

Haruki-kun is not quite sure what will happen to Abe Seimei after he returns, but now that Youzi has roughly mastered Yin-Yang Art and Astronomical Dao, it's time to push him to the bright side.

With the letter written by Qingshu-kun, Tachibana Yuko got into the bullock cart in Japanese clothes, and said solemnly to the lord who came to see him off. "My lord, I will learn and come back as soon as possible."

Youzi said that he would come back as soon as possible, but in fact, Mr. Qingshu and him both knew that this might not be an easy task.Today's wanderer will be 9 years old, and she will not be allowed to go to other shrines until she is at least 10 years old to study at Inari Headquarters. This does not mean that she can come back easily after learning what the witches need to learn matter.

However, Haruki-kun still nodded in agreement. "The position of the Inari Shrine Miko will always be reserved for you."

With that said, the bullock cart carrying Tachibana Wanderer slowly set off on the road, sending the "girl" to the road to Heian-kyo.

Not long after, Qingshu-kun heard the news from Heian capital.The second wife of the Tachibana family suddenly found her lost granddaughter. With outstanding spiritual power, she was favored by the great priestess of the Inari Headquarters, and she was taken to the headquarters to serve the Inari God and practice the priestess practice.

After reading the news from his grandfather, Qingshu-kun sighed softly.When he arrived at the shrine in the Heian capital, he couldn't help the wanderer. He only hoped that she would not be as reckless as before and act carefully.

In two months, the Enforcement Office was completed, the Artisan Chamber of Commerce was completed, and Mr. Qingshu also spent some money to buy the land behind the mountain.Mr. Qingshu has thought about moving the shrine to the mountain first, but if you want to move the already built buildings, you have to meet the upgrade conditions, and you can only move the location of the buildings when you build them again.The upgrade condition of the Inari Shrine is that the people's faith reaches 1000.Not to mention the problem that the shrine is not yet open, the condition for upgrading is belief rather than incense reaching 1000, this is really the problem for Qingshu-kun.Because, can he guarantee that the people will definitely have faith in Inari God?The operation of it can only be figured out by himself.

The task rewards from the Craftsman Chamber of Commerce have not been issued for a long time, but Mr. Qingshu can't take care of this now. The blacksmiths and swordsmiths understand what he has to do under Mr. Qingshu's description.They have come into contact with various minerals such as iron, steel, copper, etc., and have also melted and hammered various minerals, but they have never thought about burning sand in the past and what to do.

Because they had never tried it before, they applied to Mr. Qingshu and purchased all three kinds of stoves.These three kinds of furnaces have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although they have been working as blacksmiths and swordsmiths for so many years, they can't say which furnace has a higher firing temperature and which furnace is more suitable.
