Chapter 105: It's time to start thinking about farming
With the fall of the Hojo family, a brief power vacuum began to appear throughout Kyoto.
Although the Fujiwara family briefly took over the power of the daimyo.
Following this, Li Wei needed to start thinking about resuming production, rectifying the entire Kyoto, and expanding his samurai, etc. Commonly known as farming.
But with the current size of the Fujiwara family, they really can't eat this piece of meat.
The main reason is that Li Wei's own power is too weak. His own foundation is too shallow. He doesn't even have many useful people under his command. The only one who can be considered half a talent is Koizumi. But this guy is also a muscular man.
Let him go with a group of warriors to kill people. He is good at killing people. If you let him handle government affairs, then let him be spared.
The only people left who can be used are the restless members of the Fujiwara clan and the priests.
But can these people really be regarded as Li Wei's people? Can they really be completely trusted?
Li Wei himself doesn't think these people can really be loyal to him, it's just because he is stronger now and has a common enemy.
Perhaps the only ones who are truly loyal to Levi are the ninjas and samurai left by the Fujiwara family, but relying on these people to manage the entire Kyoto is a fool's errand.
Most of the samurai in this era could not read a single word. They were basically samurai who relied on their bravery and the courage to fight during the troubled times. The illiteracy rate was frighteningly high. As for the literate ninjas, I hope they are engaged in intelligence.
To manage politics, you can refer to the Ninja Village Fighting. It is estimated that the entire Kyoto will not even have food to eat.
The problem that Levi is facing now is that there are not many people in the Fujiwara family who can read, and most of the people who can read are not loyal to him.
Previously, because of the demon problem and the Hojo family, his biggest enemy, he could use high-pressure policies to force these people to work for him. But now, Levi also understands that his power needs to develop, and in order to ensure development, he will continue to use high-pressure policies.
But it will make people lose their minds.
All these things gave Li Wei a very headache. He was not particularly interested in politics. If he was asked to deal with these things, he would rather clean up the remnants of the Demon Swordsman.
Now Koizumi is mainly responsible for leading the original samurai to clean up those demon swordsmen and those who are completely addicted to Rosemary. But the good news is that the people who fall into Rosemary are basically middle-class people.
, or some businessmen, but there are not many real bottom-level production staff.
Not only that, Koizumi is also responsible for recruiting new ronin and wild samurai to expand the Fujiwara family's combat effectiveness, and is also responsible for training these people, and he is basically too busy.
The Fujiwara family is now also facing financial constraints. With the war with monsters during this period, some of the original Fujiwara family's wealth was almost wiped out. As for the Hojo family's food and other things, they were also destroyed in the fire.
It was burned to the ground, and Hojo Prefecture is still a red ground.
Under the candlelight, looking at these reports one after another, Li Wei felt that his head was getting big, so he simply threw all these things aside.
Open.
He now finally understood why some princes in the Three Kingdoms era didn't like people from aristocratic families, but they had to pinch their noses and use people from aristocratic families. The 99% illiteracy rate really made it impossible for Li Wei to start.
To give the simplest example, Li Wei wanted a group of people who were at least literate to become his current staff, but he didn't want to use people who had their own agendas, so he could only develop education.
However, to develop education, money and food are needed, and in this era, children at home have to work in the fields before they are ten years old. If these children go to school, it will inevitably reduce the harvest of crops.
Reducing crop harvests has brought about a more serious food burden. All Li Wei could think of was increasing yields, so he needed higher-yielding seeds.
Even though he has this part of the information in his hands now, even he himself cannot understand the various proper nouns on the information from the future world, let alone people of this era.
He needs talents, and he must develop education so that more people from the middle and lower classes can be literate. And developing education will definitely make it more difficult to support the already expensive small-scale farmer structure. To solve the problem of the small-scale farmer structure, it is best to increase production and nutrition.
Value, freeing up part of the productivity. To improve crop yields and nutrition, a large number of talents are needed.
It's an endless cycle.
Originally, he only needed to think about how to kill the demons, but now that Kyoto has temporarily returned to a stable situation, it has become even more difficult for him to start farming and develop his power.
Moreover, the main mission of "Thousand-Year Demon Capital" in his hands has not been completed. The demons have only been temporarily repulsed, and they may come back soon.
He now begins to understand the importance of having a staff.
Levi no longer thought about these things, and he began to study the watches in the Kuroshio world, mainly to collect some information that was useful to him.
Although the watch that recorded most of the information on the entire civilization was left in the world of Kuroshio and given to the shark girl O'erti, there was also a lot of basic information stored in other watches.
It may be that at the last moment, those members of the rescue team knew that their death was imminent, so they chose to save some of the information in their watches.
Li Wei began to sort out some data and technologies that might be used, such as ancient windmill and waterwheel technology, water conservancy technology, breeding technology, crop planting and breeding technology...
Many of these materials are recorded in different languages, and he still needs to use his own language proficiency (level D) to translate them into the language of this world. This is also a project that consumes his time.
However, he also decided to carry on with this matter. After all, the world is too expensive and lacks everything.
Just when Levi was worried about these things, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in." Levi returned.
But this time the person who came in was not the ninjas who provided information, but Chiki Fujiwara.
"Brother, I think your candle oil may be a little low, so I brought you a candle lantern." Chiki Fujiwara bowed slightly and put a candle lantern in front of your table.
At this time, Levi also found that his candle seemed to be about to burn out. He had tried to use his own flame for lighting before, but then he discovered that the flame of white phosphorus, which reacted violently like fireworks, was simply torturing himself for lighting.
"Oh, thank you, sister." Li Wei thanked him and continued to translate some of the potentially useful information in the watch.
Even though the two are married now, they still keep their original names.
"Why are you so frowning, brother?" Chiki Fujiwara asked, looking at Levi's frowning expression.
