I just want to build a city

Now that Sanjo Zongjin has forged the famous sword [Chore Maru], naturally, the upgrade of the weapon shop can be put on the follow-up schedule.

Because of the renovation of the houses of the villagers, the upgrade of the craftsmen in the weapon shop can only wait for the temple house to be completed before sending craftsmen to build it.

The lack of craftsmen is in stark contrast to the situation where the omens of the samurai mansion are overcrowded.Although the development of military power is very important, Qingshu has never thought of giving up other industries.

In modern times, Qingshu is neither an administrator nor a major in politics.Let him think about how to open up the public's enthusiasm for other professions. To be honest, he really can't think of a way.

The only thing that came to mind was hanging a carrot and riding a donkey.Seriously speaking, the signs of patrol soldiers are also the same. If there is no possibility of becoming a samurai, how can so many villagers sign up for the second year of the samurai mansion.

However, Qingshu still needs to think carefully about how to lure and drive the villagers to develop other industries.

At this moment in Heian-kyo, the chief maiden of the Inari Headquarters got the roster of several witches drawn by Haruki-kun from the little priest, and listened to the little priest slowly narrating the words and demeanor of the Genji lord. Several red circles in the roster in hand.Already old and experienced, the chief witch of the company always feels that there is a strong sense of disobedience.The roster with no obvious selection bias in her hand aggravated her feeling even more.

If it was true as the little priest said, he was just a little clever and inexperienced child, so how could he be so bewildered in the selection of candidates.

Qingshu-kun didn't know that it was his roster that made people vaguely aim for wanderers, but made the big witch have an impression of him.

However, that being said, Tottori is only a small place after all. Compared with Tottori, the shrine maiden who has already lost momentum and is gradually unable to intervene in the affairs of the imperial court feels that Heian-kyo is more important.

The big witch pushed back the roster brought back by the little priest. "As soon as possible, write down the situation of the priestess above in detail, and send it to Tottori, so that little Genji can select the priestess as soon as possible."

"Yes. I'll do it now." Seeing the big witch nodding, the little priest was relieved. At least this matter has finally come to an end.

Not long after the little priest left here, the wanderer received a message from the lower-level priestess of the company, and a message from the elder priestess, asking them to wear the best priestess costumes and go to the painter's side to draw portraits.

As for what it will be used for, the witch who came to report the letter did not say, but among the selected people, there are always one or two candidate witches with high status and long ears.

"Damn it, why did that Genji kid choose me too." The shrine maiden who was at the top of the list and was an excellent candidate in all aspects frowned, and hated the servant beside her. cursed. "I'm an excellent shrine maiden who wants to stay in the company. Whoever wants to leave Heian-kyo to go to the small place of Tottori, even Yoshinobu Minamoto's son, Michitaka Fujiwara is almost gone."

Youzi lowered his eyebrows and followed the selected witch team. When he finally heard the news, he raised his eyebrows.He was just the lord who tried to squeeze into Inari Headquarters, not to mention that he had no background, Tachibana agreed to take him back because of Genji, and it was impossible to give him any help.As for the lord, the lord is far away in Tottori. Even if the lord is capable, he still cannot extend his hand to Heian-kyo.Yuan Laixin Here, after the wanderer met Lai Xin's wife by chance, he had no intention of asking Yuan Laixin for help.

Therefore, her news from the outside world is far less than that of these real clan Ji Jun.It turns out that Lord Fujiwara, the grandfather of the lord, is about to fall?Then, he can no longer procrastinate here.

Yuko looked up at the maiden from the Heira family who showed disdain for Tottori in front of her, with a mocking look in her eyes.

There is nothing you can do about the great witch beside the lord.

The wanderer had a hunch that after many years, these shrine maidens who hated the ruined land of Tottori would not be able to squeeze into Genji's territory even if they wanted to.

……

It took a month for the temple house to be completed. At the same time, Kai Teng-kun also brought him good news. The down-and-out little clan named Yoshida Song is willing to come to the Yuan clan's territory. As for the specifics, we have to wait Only when he came to Tottori could he negotiate slowly.

Qingshu will try her best to persuade this Yoshida-kun to let go of his clan affiliation and teach the children in the territory about writing knowledge.However, if he is unwilling to accept it, he will let Yoshida-kun go back to his original place.It's just that whether he can really go back safely is not something he can decide. Neither Fujido nor the dead man that his grandfather left in the territory will probably not allow Yoshida to go back intact.

Even if he didn't want his name, his eyes, nose, mouth and tongue would be mutilated.Qingshu could have predicted this kind of result, but he didn't go to interview Todo-kun and the others to tell them not to do so.

after all……

Haruki looked at the scrapped paper because of a drop of ink.

After all, he, Yoshida Ode, is just one person, and now he represents more than just one person.Just like this ink-stained rice paper, everything is damaged.If you want to keep everything, the only way to destroy it is when the drop of ink falls.

"Do you want to lay out new paper for you?" Xing asked in a low voice after cleaning up the paper and ink stains on the desk.

"I think so too." Qingshu raised his head to look at the door, and sure enough, General Fujido and Ah Hai had appeared outside his study room.

"Young master, it's time to practice sword skills."

Life in a dead house is so difficult.

……

After the completion of the Temple House, although the bonus to the knowledge value is only 5%, but for some people whose knowledge value is already very good, the amount of improvement is still considerable, and there are several more points.

The first batch of villagers’ thatched cottages has been rebuilt, and it’s the turn of the second batch of villagers to renovate their houses. At present, before winter, this group of villagers can move in early. of housing.

After the completion of the temple house, it was the transformation of the weapon shop. Fortunately, the private soldiers of his father and grandfather came to help him sell glass two or three times a year. Otherwise, he might really not have the money to upgrade these public buildings step by step.Compared with the basic izakaya, the basic construction cost of the weapon shop is several times higher, not to mention how much money is needed for the building materials required for upgrading.Dozens of pennies of money were thrown down, although Qingshu was very distressed, but still understandable.

Well, it would be nice to make more money, it is considered a game of krypton gold.However, Qingshu, who has always been a Buddhist player, knew for the first time that the krypton gold player was so uncomfortable at the moment of krypton gold.He can still see a little krypton gold. What about those players who had krypton gold but didn't have good cards?Wow, it feels like my heart is bleeding.

Suddenly, Qingshu felt that, strictly speaking, the system was not too bad, at least he didn't give him a chance to invest the amount, and there was only a few percent chance of success in the transformation.

Not long after the weapon shop was remodeled, the little priest who returned to his mission visited Tottori again with the scrolls and information of the witches.

When he came to Tottori Genji's territory, even though he saw the territory where there was another big move, he still didn't look at it and said anything. He just took the things he should bring and hurried to the direction of Genji Manor.

The little priest didn't wait too long outside the manor, and was led in the direction of the main courtyard by Mr. Nakata who rushed over.

After the little priest came to the main courtyard, he handed over the scroll box and the thick roster information to the maid who came forward, and followed Mr. Nakata into the guest room.

"My lord." The little priest knelt down and saluted randomly when he saw the young man sitting in the first place and looking at him with a faint smile.

"You don't need to be so polite, Suzuki-kun, please sit down." The priest named Suzuki nodded hastily, and under Xing's guidance, he sat down on the left side of the lower head.

At this time, the maid following Suzuki also handed over the scroll box and the register that Suzuki had given her.Before that, they had checked the contents.

Xing stepped forward, opened the scroll box, and placed the scrolls piled inside one by one on the table in front of Qingshu, and the name of the witch was carefully hung on the scrolls.

Qingshu didn't directly pick out the scroll of Ju Youzi to read first, but took the scroll closest to him. However, he only opened it for a glance, then closed it, and didn't look at it again, let alone the idea of ​​looking at other scrolls .

The portraits of the Heian period all have a round face. The different people probably have tighter eyes and smaller mouths. Compared with modern painting techniques, real people can't see it in comparison with these portraits. Whose portrait is drawn.

Compared to these portraits, Haruki looked down at the little priest instead.

"Going back this time, Suzuki-kun didn't say anything that shouldn't be said." He asked suddenly.

Suzuki nodded quickly, and replied: "I only told the great witch what you said to me, words and deeds, and as for matters in the territory, I didn't say a word."

"Is no one coming with you this time?"

"I used the excuse that you don't like too many strangers appearing on the territory, so they waited outside Tottori Prefecture."

That's right, the last time this little priest named Suzuki came to Genji's territory, he was recruited by Qingshu as his own. Qingshu was not afraid that he would deceive him. Gao, but the object of loyalty is indeed Haruki Minamoto's own name.

When I came last time, another little priest who was traveling with Suzuki, and the attendants brought by him, when they saw the changes in Genji's territory, the first thing that came to mind that night was to take this matter. , let people bring the news back to our headquarters, and to our own home.

However, how can it be so easy for people with other schemes to leave the Genji territory that already has their own power?

That night, after seeing the bubble message refreshed on the map, Haruki-kun guessed something, and asked Yamada-kun to find Kaito-kun and the dead man left behind by his grandfather.

As a result, needless to say, the only one who could see Qingshu in the end was his low status in the head office, the clan had no ambitions, and had no loyal object, nor Suzuki who wanted to bring this matter back to the head office.

Suzuki's ability is mediocre, but he also has such a good eye. The private army in Genji's territory is getting more and more mature. How can they really leave Genji's territory safely?In the face of the lord who can develop the dilapidated Tottori into what it is today, can he really hide his little thoughts?

That night, Suzuki broke out in a cold sweat after hearing the sound of calling for help from the next door, and after a moment of silence, he was undoubtedly safe if he didn't participate.Haruki-kun also needs someone to return safely to the Inari Headquarters to report the news of this trip.

After going back last time, regarding the fact that only one priest came back, Suzuki also said that he was attacked by a monster at the foot of the Dajiang Mountain.This kind of remarks did not arouse any doubts. For our company, it was just the loss of a priest of a small clan that was not rare.

It is true that the vicinity of Dajiang Mountain is not peaceful recently, and it is not impossible for an attack to occur.

In the end, the priest and his attendants who died in Genji's territory in Tottori, in the end, were only added to the company's roster, and were attacked by monsters and died.That's all.

As for the dead souls of the priest and his attendants, the dead soldiers had already had experience and handled them cleanly.

From this, Qingshu knew for the first time that the dead man of his grandfather actually had some yin and yang skills.But, yes, it is this kind of work, and there are ghosts and gods in this world, if they don't have such skills, I'm afraid, those evil ghosts outside are enough to make them suffer.

To sum up, in fact, since this little priest came here for the first time, he has brought question marks.When he comes here next time, he will become a member of the Inari Shrine together with Yuko Tachibana.

Of course, the final result is needless to say, Tachibana Yuko’s portrait and roster were all drawn, and the chief priestess of the Inari Shrine in Genji’s territory in Tottori was finally selected as this “priestess”.

The little priest didn't stay long, and took the portrait and the roster, and joined the people he had left outside Tottori.He also wants to go back as soon as possible and get ready to come to Tottori.

……

The Inari Headquarters acted very quickly. Not more than two months after Priest Suzuki returned, someone sent a message that the maiden assigned by the Inari Headquarters was already on the way.Now, it is only three days away from reaching the Tottori Genji territory.

Qingshu-kun raised his eyebrows when he heard the news.

There are still three days...

Qingshu put down the writing brush in his hand, and did some calculations. Now Youzi is 11 years old. In the news sent by Priest Suzuki last time, it was mentioned that the Tachibana branch, that is, his father, held a ceremony for him. Dress ceremony.

Only this point, Qingshu is a little concerned, as a wanderer with a male body, it doesn't matter to be a priestess, this is something that Inari God has approved, and he can't express any opinions.However, there is also a dressing ceremony for women to come of age, which is actually a kind of self-esteem and psychological harm to men in this era.In the final analysis, the cause was because of him, which inevitably made him a little concerned, although Youzi himself already had the determination to do so.

The things that Qingshu cares about, in fact, to Youzi, they don't care at all.

At the dressing ceremony held by his father for him, he didn't show any strangeness at all.Instead, looking at his own reflection reflected on the water surface, with his head and face in a luxurious dress, without any white makeup, what suddenly appeared in Youzi's mind was the appearance of Qingshu.

Seeing Youzi pretending to be a woman, wearing women's clothes, with a headache and helpless appearance.

But yes, for a child like Youzi, whose survival was a problem in the past few years, a man's self-esteem is not important to him at all. It can only be said that Qingshu, as a normal person, thinks A little too much.

No matter from which point of view, Haruki would welcome Wanderer back to Tottori Genji's territory.

At the same time, there was news from the manor that the maiden from the Inari Shrine was about to arrive at the territory.The Inari Shrine will also be officially opened in late autumn, when harvesting.This year's dedication day was cancelled, and the lord decided to dedicate the best harvest of the year to Inari God on the day the shrine was opened.

Now that the summer solstice has just passed, and it is not yet the end of summer, the purpose of telling the villagers about this in advance is to let the villagers of each household prepare the sacrifices to God Inari.

The villagers who have lived in the territory for some time know that their lords value Inari God, and even canceled the dedication day this year, in order to thank Inari God, and let the Imperial Food God continue to bless them with good weather and good weather. The scene of a good harvest.Even if the newcomers didn't understand something, they also understood how important the day the Inari Shrine opened was after the enthusiastic Zhuangmin told it.

Although they have good weather and good harvest every year, it is not all the credit of Inari God.However, under Qingshu's deliberate guidance, the village residents who have lived a good life are naturally willing to believe that this is the result of the divine power of Inari God.

Inari God will only bless the people who truly believe in her, just like their lord.

Inari God will only bless the hardworking people, so if someone does not do anything because of Inari God's generosity, then he will not be blessed by God.

Zhuangmin, who had truly felt the blessing of the gods, no longer blindly believed in Buddhism, and their beliefs began to turn to the god of imperial cuisine.Everything is developing in the direction that Qingshu-kun thought.Gathering faith for Inari God is his tolerance several times in order to repay Inari God.Another reason is to transfer the beliefs of the villagers in his territory. Yes, it is to let them get rid of some Buddhist ideas, such as being ashamed of eating meat.

Let’s not talk about not eating meat, how bad it is for the body.Even if Buddhism flows into Japan, can those gods and Buddhas really cross the border and bypass the great gods of Japan to protect the people of Japan?

Today, for Haruki, the only reliable God of Faith, Yuyatsu, who is reliable, friendly to humans, and able to convey ideas indirectly through white foxes, is the most reliable god of faith.

Although, he still doesn’t believe in God.

The representative of Inari God is a fox, wild, and there is no saying that eating animal meat is forbidden.At least, judging from the white fox, he does not refuse meat like wild boar.

Now, in Qingshu's backyard, the wild boars bred together with the white horse bestowed by the emperor have reached the age of reproduction. About next year, there will be a litter of piglets waiting for him to raise them.

The two wild boars are lucky to be kept in the manor, but there are a group of them. The manor is not the farm that Qingshu thought of.After shifting the issue of the farmer's belief, Qingshu planned to find a reliable farmer to raise these wild boars.Of course, he hopes that other villagers can boldly breed other things and open up new careers through his instruction to raise pigs.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two years, Qingshu has never contacted this boy who disguised himself as a woman and became a witch because of him because of the unstable situation.Therefore, at least when welcoming the wanderer back, Qingshu hopes to express that he values ​​him, and is sorry for making him endure at the Inari Headquarters for more than a year, and then, for a longer period of time, there will be He is required to live as a woman.

Therefore, when the wanderer arrived at the territory, he heard Priest Suzuki's surprised murmur from outside the bullock cart.

"Did something happen outside? Priest Suzuki? Haven't you arrived at Genji's territory yet?" Youzi opened some window curtains and looked at Priest Suzuki riding a green horse on the side of the bullock cart.

Priest Suzuki was still watching the front with surprised eyes, and only came back to his senses when he heard Youzi's voice.

"Wandering Miko, we've arrived at Genji's territory, outside..." Suzuki looked at the front of the bullock cart again, the rather spectacular crowd.

Strictly speaking, the villagers of the territory surrounded the gorgeous ox cart in the middle of the main road, waiting there.In the territory of Tottori Genji, who has the status to ride in this kind of ox cart, and who is in the ox cart, Suzuki knows without thinking.

"Wandering Miko, the lord seems to be here to welcome you."

Hearing this, Youzi's eyes widened for a moment, and in the next second, a lively brilliance was added to those ordinary eyes.There was a smile in Yuzi's eyebrows, and the shrine maiden who had always looked like a flower of Kaolin had a human touch in an instant, which made it difficult for Suzuki to look away for a while.

Because Yuzi himself resembles his mother, and his age is at a stage of gender ambiguity, his beauty is somewhat heroic. To be honest, among the witches, he has a different charm and feeling.

In Heian capital, it is not that there is no son of the clan who asked the Tachibana about the marriage of this Jijun, but this Jijun was determined to dedicate his body and mind to Inari God.Dispelled the delusions of many people.

But, now it seems...

Suzuki looked at the brows and eyes of the Wandering Priestess who suddenly softened, and then looked in front of them. The Genji young master who was also not simple but came out to greet them personally, their future lord.

To discover oneself should be to discover something extraordinary.

For some unknown reason, the two cannot stay together, so even if they are lonely and old all their lives, do they have to come to him even if they dedicate their body and mind to the god?

Well, he is about to cry as a man.

What a beautiful and tragic love.
