Chapter 157: Cut the corner of the table with one knife
"Master, it's really not that we deliberately disobeyed your orders. Even if we grab all the food of the entire Kyoto nobles, we can't save the entire Kyoto." The head of the branch family, Fujiwara Kanecho, retorted.
When he looked at Li Wei, his eyes were very panicked, but he still spoke tremblingly.
Seeing Fujiwara Kanaga standing up again, some of the branch staff also plucked up the courage to speak out again.
"Yes, your lord, even if we can take over Kyoto, even the remaining food in Kyoto can only last until the spring of next year without dying. Kyoto itself has lost a large area of farmland outside the city and can only let everyone
We can barely maintain 30% of our food, so as not to starve to death. Even the Fujiwara family, the largest family in Kyoto, has enough food left over to survive until next year’s harvest.”
"My lord, with all due respect, you don't know how expensive rice is. We can barely survive this winter. And with this year's harvest, even you can't afford white rice, so you can only eat coarse rice."
"Your Majesty, please think deeply. Kyoto is completely hopeless now. Let's wait until a group of people starve to death this year before we come out to take over the government affairs of Kyoto. We can negotiate with the shogun and get married.
You can even send someone to the palace to serve as the 'Shikibu Minister'."
…
This time there were still many people who objected, but this time the opposition of the family members was well-founded and Li Wei did not put too much pressure on them.
Although these people are a group of ultimate vampires who hang nine out of ten street lamps and slip through the net, but for their own dogs, being vampires can sometimes be an advantage.
This group of people may be short-sighted and have a narrow vision, but their ability to protect themselves and their families is still pretty good.
As for a certain guy's proposal to make a marriage and send someone to the Genji Shogunate to serve as "Shikibu Minister", Li Wei completely ignored it. It was just a bad idea.
In terms of marriage, Li Wei realized that the culture of Sakura Country in this era was polygyny, not the monogamy and multiple concubines he thought in his previous life. A big noble can marry multiple head wives, especially the head wives who are married to each other. As for the marriage,
The position of "Shikibu Minister" is equivalent to allowing important members of noble families to serve as eunuchs in the imperial palace. It is equivalent to the noble nobles handing over their handles to the shogunate and swearing allegiance to the shogun.
If you want to take the position of "Shikibu Minister" in the shogunate, the best candidate is Li Wei's own direct descendant, but he does not have one yet. So now the only person in the entire Fujiwara family who is qualified to serve as Shikibu Minister is Chiki Fujiwara.
This was completely outside the scope of Levi's consideration.
Even though he knew that the aide was just proposing a strategy that best suited the current situation, Levi released spiritual pressure on him alone. The terrifying spiritual pressure made him kneel down and grab the ground with his head, daring not to speak.
Li Wei directly pulled out Tian Yu Yu Zhan, came to the guest minister who proposed to serve as "Shikibu Minister", and looked down at him condescendingly. This made him tremble with fear, and he did not dare to raise his head or make a sound.
, keeping his head close to the ground.
The others also held their breaths and even turned their heads slightly. Li Wei had a history of killing people in public, and this time they all thought this guy was dead.
Tian Yuyu took out his sword and put it into its sheath. He did not slash at the guest, but cut off the corner of the table in front of him.
In the eyes of everyone, the smooth-cut corner of the table rolled to the middle, and then a red light exploded in an instant. Everyone on the scene felt as if this terrifying and hot sword light blinded their eyes.
"Today I won't pursue it any further. In the future, if anyone talks about making a marriage proposal or appointing someone as 'Shikibe Minister', or if anyone dares to talk about surrender, then he will end up like this person at the table!"
Under everyone's gaze, the Tian Yu Yu Zhan in Li Wei's hand disappeared out of thin air and was stored in the storage space.
"Thank you, Master, for not killing me." The guest hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
"Now that I understand, I think you have the ability to take over Kyoto, but due to the food problem, you cannot stabilize Kyoto. Even the food of the entire Kyoto family cannot plug the hole that has almost halved this year's harvest." Levi pointed his finger on the table. Knocking, his tone was very calm, "Then can I think that as long as the food problem is solved, Kyoto's problem can be solved?"
"Yes, my lord, as long as the food is in place, we will do our best to fulfill the requirements you mentioned before. But winter is coming soon, and the food problem cannot be solved this year." Fujiwara Kanagawa looked embarrassed.
The corner of Levi's mouth turned up. At this moment, he reached into the storage space with one hand. In everyone's eyes, one of Levi's arms suddenly disappeared, and then, he took out several earth-yellow balls.
The balls looked very ugly, and many of them were stained with mud, which made the Fujiwara nobles feel uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling on them, but they didn't dare to show it when they looked at Levi.
"Master, this is..." someone asked.
"I'm going to explain to you what kind of plant tumors and what kind of tuber plants you don't understand, so just watch." Li Wei Tian Yu Zhan inserted his knife into a potato, and then he carefully controlled the fire spiritual power to inject Tian Yu Yu Zhan and cover it. on potatoes.
Because the temperature of his own flame is too high, the limit can even be close to the temperature of the surface of the sun. Levi is very careful to keep the temperature of the flame stable at about 300 degrees, so as not to roast the potatoes or even turn them into ashes.
In the last world, he stayed in Bald Eagle for a total of more than forty days. During one period, he went to the farm to buy some potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., and filled the storage space, which was the size of a small compartment, to the hilt.
The main reason is that he is fed up with the diet of the main world, which consists of mustard rice and soup made with a little kelp every day.
Soon, the aroma spread throughout the room. People in this world who could only eat brown rice and millet all year round had never smelled this sweet aroma. Even the nobles swallowed their saliva.
Li Wei took off the roasted potatoes from the Tianyuyu Zhan. I am afraid that even Susanoo would not have thought that the magical weapon Tianyuyu Zhan could be used to bake potatoes.
When the skin of the potato was peeled off, the golden core and the diffuse fragrance made everyone in the Fujiwara family stunned, and their throats began to squirm uncontrollably.
"This...this..." Some people looked at the golden, fat and glowing potatoes and smelled the sweet fragrance. The desire for sugar engraved in their DNA made them speechless.
Levi broke open the baked potato and handed half of it to Chiki Fujiwara. She took the potato with a smile and tasted it slightly.
For a moment, her eyes widened, she hurriedly covered her mouth, and started eating bite after bite like a hamster.
"Try it yourself." Levi threw the remaining half of the potato to Fujiwara Kanaga.
Fujiwara Kanaga took the half of the potato. The rich aroma of sugar hit his nostrils, and he took a slight taste.
