I just want to build a city

Ishikawa Blacksmith's family, craftsmen Shi Sanshui and Mashi, after hearing Qingshu-kun's statement, generally knew what he wanted, and the rest was to go back and cooperate with the research.

After Mr. Qingshu made it clear to them, he asked them to step back and go back to ponder.After the five people left, Mr. Qingshu sat on the futon and couldn't help thinking, glass is one of the most used things in modern times, why he only thought of using it as a curtain wall.Of course, after the outer glass shoji door is made, it will definitely be sold to various nobles as the main product.

Now the matter of the glass can be said to have achieved results. Qingshu-kun is holding the pen, but he doesn't know whether to write about this matter to his grandfather and father.In the past, Qingshu-kun must have written a letter to send the result and the production method to the two of them after he had the result, but now it is different.Fujiwara Michitaka's health is getting worse day by day. If this glass formula is sent to Fujiwara's family, if he finally enjoys his results, it is very likely that it is not his grandfather.

Mr. Qingshu hesitated for a long time, but he still wrote two letters about the glass research, but he didn't write about the craftsmanship.After all, his idea of ​​how to do this matter was not as clever as his grandfather and father, who had been in the officialdom for many years.Moreover, judging from the fact that he was not allowed to return to Heiankyo during this year's New Year's Eve, it may be more beneficial for him to leave this matter to Fujiwara Michitaka himself.

These two letters were eventually handed over to the Heian capital by the three Jiulang who returned to Heian capital last time.

During the period when the letter was sent to Heianjing, the reward for the completion of the Qingshu-kun Craftsman's Chamber of Commerce was finally delivered to him in a very special way.

One day, when Qingshu-kun was reading a certain biography of the Tang Dynasty in the study, Nakatahara suddenly came to the door of the study.In the study room, Mr. Qingshu made people try not to disturb him if he was free.So far, the only people who have been here are the Kaito couple, Youzi, Abe Seimei, and White Fox.

Nakatahara did not come directly into the study room, but waved to Xing in the study room.Qingshu-kun also realized that there was a person standing at the door after seeing Xing leave suddenly from the corner of the eye.Nakatahara seemed to have passed something to Xing, probably for her to pass it on to Qingshu-kun, Xing nodded at the door, probably told him to wait at the door, and went back to the study.

"My lord, Mr. Nakata has something to report to you."

Qingshu-kun closed the biography in his hand, and clamped a red string between the pages he saw. "Did he say something?"

Xing nodded. "He said that when the villagers of the territory went fishing at sea, they caught a wooden box floating in the sea, and the fishermen sent it to the manor."

This kind of thing that was obtained by accident, or someone offered it up, Mr. Qingshu's first thought was: I'm afraid it's not a task reward from the system.

Mr. Qingshu was right. Zhuang Min opened the wooden box that he got from the sea net, and found that there was only a book inside. They couldn’t understand the words and contents in the book. The vendor appraised it, afraid of being fooled.Since it was a book, I simply sent it to the manor.They are not afraid that this book is just a useless thing, because the wooden box that protects the book has lifelike carvings on the outside, which is very beautiful. Looking at the wood, it is also a rare wood that will not rot easily after being soaked in water. It is also coated with a layer of waterproof, something that feels like the oil has condensed. When it is opened, the inside of the box does not see a little seawater at all.

Although these books are of no use to them, they should be liked by the lord.Even if the lord may have read this book, the lord will definitely be interested in this wooden box and the waterproof gel on the outside. I didn’t see it. Has a strange stone captured the favor of the lord?The lords of my own family are very different from those of other families. Not to mention the attitude and treatment of civilians like them, and I don’t like gold, silver, treasures, rare and precious objects, but those strange things.

They sent the small but somewhat heavy wooden box to the manor. Nakatahara, the temporary manager of the manor, learned what had happened. After reading the wooden box and the books, he also felt that the lord would be interested.As the current steward, he is also responsible for purchasing some foreign books shipped from overseas for the lord, among which the books shipped from the Song Dynasty accounted for the majority.The books contained in this wooden box, if he is not mistaken, are the characters of the Song Dynasty.

"Well, let's go and have a look." Qingshu-kun got up, walked out of the study room, and followed Nakatahara to the reception room.

In the reception room, there are now two villagers dressed in coarse cloth, and they still have some water stains on their bodies, which should have been accidentally stained when they went out to catch fish.Qingshu-kun didn't care about these little things, and moved his eyes to the wooden box in front of their feet. As Nakata said, the carvings on the outside of the wooden box are very exquisite. If the carvings in Sanshui yesterday were just beautiful, The engraving on this wooden box is a wonderful skill.

What's more ingenious is that the carvings on the outside of the box are fine reliefs, which is a carving skill that does not exist in Japan.Around the box are engraved blossoming peonies, and on the top of the box is a phoenix.This is roughly a gift for the royal family, and Mr. Qingshu also knows that when he is planting flowers, he can draw or carve phoenixes on his own things, and only the emperor's wife, the empress, can use them.

So, why did this box float in the sea? Qingshu-kun thought, it must be a ship that was dedicated to the sea, and it was in trouble at sea.

"My lord." Two ordinary fishermen bowed respectfully to Mr. Qingshu and saluted.

"Well, I've already seen it. This wooden box is a pretty good thing. No matter what the book inside is, I'm very happy. Do you want any rewards?"

Mr. Qingshu just checked and confirmed that the reward for the completion of the Craftsman Chamber of Commerce has been delivered, so it is the book in this wooden box.Therefore, the content inside the book must be a woodcraft atlas. Looking at the reliefs on the outside of the box, Mr. Qingshu has already guessed that the woodcraft atlas inside is probably a book about carving techniques.

This is a good thing, the nobles of Heian capital like these flashy things the most.With such a lifelike woodcut craft, they may be able to brag about it for a long time.

"The lord has given us enough, we don't ask for any reward." The two fishermen said together.These two, formerly the villagers of Linhai Village, have followed Mr. Qingshu for the longest time. Now that they have the bonus of mission rewards, they are also the group of people with the highest loyalty among the villagers. In other words, he was not surprised.However, the reward that should be given still has to be given.What if someone picked up his system rewards in the future, because he didn't have a reward, and just got greedy?

Thinking of this, Mr. Qingshu once again lamented that the system is unreliable, mission rewards are distributed randomly, and most of them are not directly distributed to him. If he has not brushed favorability with Zhuangmin, traders and other people, he will It's really hard to say whether these rewards will still be in his hands.It's really aggrieved to get my own reward from others.

Mr. Qingshu can see that there is a problem with the sudden improvement in the mission rewards of the Artisan Chamber of Commerce for these few times.If he had neglected some task rewards that were not very good and not very important, I am afraid that these rewards would not be in his hands.

In the end, the two fishermen returned each with a small jar of mead, and carefully told them how to store it.These two jars of mead, which are not many at present, can only be found in the manor. Whether the wine in these two jars will be sold or passed on to future generations is not what Mr. Qingshu cares about.

Opening the wooden box, it was almost as Mr. Qingshu guessed, the book in the wooden box was about carving skills.However, the entire text is not in Japanese, so if Qingshu-kun wants to take it to the craftsman Sanshui to learn, he has to translate it himself.This is really, laborious and laborious.

……

When Ma Shi and Sanshui came to the manor with the finished glass sliding doors, Jiulang and the other three returned to the manor territory at about the same time with the letter from Heian Jing.

According to Haruki-kun, they used a wooden frame to fix the glass in the middle of the sliding door, instead of the shoji door made of paper.Not only did they do this, but they also made changes based on what Mr. Qingshu said, because they found that things like glass can indeed protect against wind and rain, but if they are subjected to too strong force, they are also easy to break. It is much more fragile than steel, which is also forged.For this reason, they use thin wooden strips to reinforce the surface of the glass in a grid shape, so that when the glass is subjected to too much wind force, the wooden strips on the surface will replace him to share a certain amount of wind force and at the same time isolate a certain amount of damage. , so that it will not be so easily broken by collision.

The first batch of glass sliding doors made in this way were installed on the periphery of Mr. Qingshu's bedroom.After the sliding door was installed, it wasn't Haruki-kun who was most satisfied, but Xing.With this kind of shoji gate, there is no need to worry about the cold wind near the sea making the lord's body catch the cold repeatedly.

With the sliding door outside, Xing suddenly had a whim, and asked the craftsman if he could make a surrounding screen like this. She was really worried. In the spring of the coming year, Mr. Qingshu would sit on the porch waiting for the white fox. God made him fall ill.With this kind of screen, the warmth brought by the brazier will not be dissipated by the cold wind so easily, and the white fox angel will not be separated from the outside by things like veils, and you can climb over from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. Come inside.

Now that the glass shoji door has been made, it is not difficult to fill in a part and make a screen.

The matter of the glass shoji gate has come to an end, but there is one thing that bothers Haruki-kun, and that is the iron mine.During this period of time, the iron ore used in the weapon store has been bought through Genji's channel. Iron ore, which is not the royal family or the army, should not be purchased and used in large quantities, for fear that the clan below will grasp enough. After arms and might, boldly rebel.Of course, can the Emperor really control the iron mines outside Heiankyo?Genji has one or two iron ore fields hidden in his Kanto territory.

Tottori is a small place by the sea, and it is also close to Mt. Dajiang. Needless to say, they cannot be restrained from owning private mines, but the problem is that Mr. Qingshu does not currently have such a private mine of his own, and iron mines are not so easy to find.

The iron ore matter is not so urgent, because the second batch of patrol soldiers will be trained until next year. During this period of time, the samurai and patrol soldiers will not need much iron ore to repair their swords. Now it is shipped from Kanto Iron ore is enough.

Mr. Qingshu wrote down the word "iron ore" in his notepad. This matter must be resolved within this year. Although next year they will be able to smuggle a batch of iron ore from his father's territory, but they will not There is no guarantee that no eyes will be on the way.He must have his own iron ore, and I don't know whether the three of Ishikawa and his son have the ability to find ore. If so, when the time comes, let them help him find where there is ore nearby.

As for this timing, it depends on the loyalty of Ishikawa and his son.

Not long after this matter was dealt with, General Fujido pinched him, and at this time he came to find him again to exercise his sword skills and physique.

In this world, it is no longer possible for the abandoned house to live properly.

……

The letter brought back by the three of Kuro was handed over to Haruki-kun through Kyoko's hand after the evening meal.

Haruki-kun opened the letters of his grandfather and father one by one, and both of them had the same meaning.Hide but not reveal.

Of course these glasses are for sale, but they cannot pass through the hands of the Fujiwara family and Genji, at least on the bright side. In a few days, Fujiwara Michitaka and Minamoto Yoshinobu will send three or four vendors to Tottori Here at Qingshu, the glass produced by these vendors is sandwiched among the summer crops, and brought out of Tottori for sale.At least until Haruki-kun grows up, it will not be revealed that the glass is produced from him.As for glass craftsmanship, Heian-kyo is not near the sea, and transporting a large amount of sand will attract the attention of others. Coupled with the recent instability of the Fujiwara family, this kind of craftsmanship must be in the hands of Haruki-kun.

Minamoto Yoshinobu also left a sentence, he has already controlled the people of the Ishikawa clan quietly, if the Ishikawa family has other thoughts, tell them the situation of his clan, if they are selfish, Then just kill it directly, get a better control and put it by your side, in your hand.

Will the three of Ishikawa and his son betray him?At present, Qingshu-kun doesn’t know. It depends on how the three of Ishikawa and his son will behave after the glass is released. At that time, Qingshu-kun will spend some time before going to bed and look at it on the map. The performance of the father and son.

Now, how to deal with the glass has already been settled. After the income of the glass reaches the warehouse of the manor, Mr. Qingshu will have to deal with the only remaining task.Thinking that the task interface of the Cairo system will finally become clean, Qingshu-kun is still a little happy when he thinks about it.

Now the remaining task is the task of upgrading the thatched cottage.

Task: New professional blacksmiths have arrived in your territory. However, the blacksmiths seem to be a little dissatisfied with the accommodation you arranged. Please upgrade the grass house and provide the blacksmiths with satisfactory accommodation. (Open the upgrade conditions for territorial buildings.)

Task reward: special crafts (random)

Minamoto Haruki reviewed this task again, clicked on the construction page, but did not see a second option to build the residence building, fortunately, he played a lot of casual games in the last life, so Qingshu-kun clicked on Open the pixel map, and poke open the thatched cottage where the blacksmith's family lives now. Sure enough, there is an upgrade button under the information of the thatched cottage, and there is a row of black boys and a tick on the upgrade button.

The content of that line of small print is: the upgrade condition, the annual income reaches five guan. (achieved)

It turns out that because the blacksmith has a craft, he has left the commoner class. Even before he came to Mr. Qingshu's territory, his annual income was five guan, so he would not be a person who lived in a thatched cottage.The samurai who came before this had a samurai mansion for the samurai to live in, and the craftsmen also had a craftsman's chamber of commerce, so they didn't jump out of this kind of thing.

But speaking of it, if the thatched cottage can be upgraded with only five guan coins, then some of the villagers who have applied for several fields should have already met the upgrade requirements.

Thinking so, Mr. Qingshu poked open the thatched huts of several people who were originally from Linhai Village. Surprisingly, these people who came to the territory first did not meet the income requirements. After careful study, they realized that the system This income statistic is based on the income of the previous year. At that time, each farmer had only one or two pieces of farmland, which indeed did not reach the point where the annual income was five guanqian.

In this way, the only houses to be upgraded are the blacksmith Ishikawa family and the swordsmith Sanjo family.

Seeing the cost of upgrading the house, Mr. Qingshu heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the system judges whether the owner of the house is eligible for the upgrade based on the income of the residents in the previous year. Otherwise, Mr. Qingshu is sure that he will bleed again.Mr. Qingshu tried to click the upgrade button, and a prompt popped up, with the pixel map of the thatched cottage and the pixel map of the brick and tile house, and a line of words on it: whether to choose to spend the usual money to upgrade the thatched cottage of the Ishikawa family.

Mr. Qingshu decisively denied it, just kidding, his glass has not been sold outside yet, and his hands are very nervous now, if there are some tasks or things that need to be dealt with urgently, he will not open the warehouse. The antiques in the house were sold.

……

Haruki-kun’s financial problems did not last long, and the three or four vendors arranged by Fujiwara Michitaka and Minamoto Yoshinobu arrived outside Qingshu’s manor, and each of them, big or small, carried such a small Gift.For those curious merchants, I just smiled and said that everyone wants to get a share of the business of sugar and Genji wine. They come from farther to ask questions, and of course they want to bring back a considerable harvest, so bring gifts , to win some goodwill in front of the lord, and ask him to sell them more wine and high-quality sugar bowls.In addition, they also want to know how to make ramen, of course, they are willing to pay a lot of money.

Three or four vendors brought not only gifts, but also a few large boxes. Based on what was said just now, there is no need to say more. As for why they bought ramen noodles.They said that it is really not worthwhile to hire so many people and carts for ramen, which is so popular among the common people. It is better to just buy the noodles and sell them by yourself.

Some of the vendors who came to harvest the summer crops only laughed at what these well-dressed vendors said.It's true that the common people like this kind of cuisine, but it also depends on whether the common people in your place have the same good life as the common people here.

However, they didn't say these words. Businessmen seek profit, so how can they remind others how to do business.Moreover, looking at the clothes of these people, no matter how you look at it, they are all declining clans with some money in their families. If they want to enrich their family property by doing business, let them learn a lesson.

Whether they will learn a lesson or not, these vendors don’t need to worry about these, because these statements were originally conceived by Michitaka Fujiwara and Yoshinobu Minamoto to deceive people.After perfunctory those merchants, these fake traders were led into the manor by Nakatahara.Go in with gifts and money, and come out half an hour later with empty hands and a smile on your face. In the eyes of other vendors, it is the performance of these novices who have cheated themselves.

"Hey, these idiots, if Lord Genji hadn't accepted their money and gifts and sold them the recipe for ramen, they probably wouldn't have paid them much. Now, bringing ramen back home doesn't make much money, and Empty so much money given to Lord Genji."

"The sum of the money in those several boxes is probably worth dozens of coins."

"No."

"It is estimated that some small clan came out incognito and wanted to enrich the family property. I have traveled all over the world, but I can't make so much money in a year."

"Little clan, if you want to set foot in our line of business, you have to suffer a little bit. Only after you stumbled did you realize the pain, so you retreated to that house. Ansheng lived his little life."

"The little lord is also bad. He knows that the life of civilians in other places is not as good as his. Let alone buying coarse grain noodles, most of them live on sweet potatoes, and sell this recipe to those people."

"Who would let the little lord of Genji treat the civilians in his territory well? He doesn't make much money, so he can only make money from outsiders." And these merchants are one of the outsiders.

"Shh, they're here, don't talk about it."

Someone sharp-eyed saw those fake traders coming out of the manor, and now they came back to the chamber of commerce, and stopped everyone from talking in time.

When those people came back, the traders who had just taunted them congratulated them with a smile on their faces and wished them a good fortune when they returned to their hometown.Those fake business informants were also the ones who talked to people and talked nonsense when they saw people, and they all smiled happily and accepted the blessings of these traders.

Are they happy?Of course I am happy.As Fujiwara Michitaka and Minamoto Yoshinobu's hidden characters, they naturally have a high vision of how many places they have traveled.This time, after seeing the glass barrier door under the leadership of Mr. Minamoto, and getting the method of making the door in the hands of Mr. Genji, they can't see the prospect of this thing, and it will definitely become a long-lasting object inside and outside Heian capital. .

Since they can serve as Minamoto and Fujiwara Michitaka's hidden hands, they are naturally loyal to Fujiwara Michitaka and Minamoto Yoshinobu. Now that the young master has such a thing in his hands, in the future, when the Minamoto's power grows, it will be Fujiwara The head of the family has fallen and changed positions, so he is not afraid.

After the summer harvest, various vendors left Genji's territory with the harvested crops.After those people lost their eyesight around them, they hid the glass wrapped in cotton cloth in the grain harvested in summer, and they also brought hired thugs, who were actually the private soldiers of Yuan Laixin and others, escorting the vehicle. The cart left Haruki-kun's territory.

A few days later, an object that had never been seen before suddenly flowed out from Kansai. It was as clear as ice, but it would not melt in the sun for a long time. Looking through it, it was even clearer than what could be seen through ice.The things named glass by the merchants were made into shoji-like things one by one. There was a Kansai nobleman who bought and installed this glass shoji door. He bought it because he thought it was a novelty. In this kind of windy summer weather, after a few days, I heard that the nobleman was looking for vendors who sold glass, not for anything else, but to buy more glass shoji doors.

But I can't find those vendors anyway.

The clan nobles in the Kansai area were curious to see the glass shoji door because the incident was too widely spread, and there was some mystery that attracted the nobles to do so.

However, after the banquet was over, the clans in the Kansai area began to look for the vendor who sold glass shoji doors.

Not long after, rumors about the glass shoji gate began to spread inside and outside Heian capital.

While listening to the rumors about glass that Kaito-kun inquired for him, Qingshu-kun, who was calculating how much money he would earn after the sale of the glass, raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that should not be seen on children. sly smile.

Let the trend brought about by this country's glass come more violently.
