In this era, Ashigaru and samurai were basically farmers.
When there is a need for war, they will become ashigaru with thin bamboos with spear points on them, and after the war is over, they will become farmers.
At first, Levi just took dozens of ashigaru to search the house.
However, after confiscating several families, the number of ashigaru manpower brought over was completely insufficient. The people who separated the families and came to take over the property soon brought nearly a hundred ashigaru over to assist Li Wei.
In Kyoto, even the previous Hojo daimyo rarely had such a large group of people walking on the streets.
So when they saw Li Wei leading a huge team to search their homes, the civilians in Kyoto gave way, but some curiously stretched their necks to look at them from a distance.
On the contrary, this made everyone in the area that Levi walked through calm down, and there was no longer such panic and riots.
As for those who knew the Fujiwara family crest in this group, they were even more shy. Li Wei had copied countless nobles in a short period of time, and even lost their names, which made the remaining people scared.
Retainers from one family after another were tied up and taken away. Li Wei kept these people so that they would become the cheapest labor force in the future. Someone needs to grow potatoes in winter, why can't it be done by nobles?
Watching a large number of ox carts carrying away supplies, the Ashigaru nobles dragged them into a long queue.
When their figures walked away, the common people in Kyoto stuck their heads out and started talking in low voices: "Who are these people? Why did all those adults have their homes ransacked?"
"Who knows, but it seems to be the Fujiwara family who dragged the corpse of a demon around Kyoto a few days ago."
"Ah? So is this time also related to monsters?"
"I don't know. Let's go for a walk and watch the fun..."
Behind Li Wei's team, many onlookers gradually began to follow, waiting for Li Wei to see whose house Li Wei would raid next.
And Li Wei either had heads rolling down the road, or all of them turned into adults. The guys he killed were buried on the spot to avoid another outbreak of gangrene.
The remaining people, men, women, old and young, were all sent to grow potatoes. The workload of growing potatoes would be much smaller than growing grains. Basically, anyone with a little strength can do it.
Until Li Wei found the Shimada family, one of the three major temples in Kyoto.
According to his intelligence, the Shimada family was attacked by a demon with ten members. The whole family was in civil strife for nearly a month, and almost all members of the Shimada family were dead.
But this time Li Wei ransacked his house and did not find the man named Shimada Renlang disguised as a demon.
However, other members of the Shimada family, Li Wei, did not take it seriously. Li Wei, who originally had several swordsmen, may need to take it a little more seriously, but now there are not many people left in the Shimada family who have been harmed by demons.
Even when Li Wei ransacked his house, he didn't get much property. It wasn't as much as what some medium-sized aristocratic families did.
In more than a day, the entire Kyoto aristocratic family was bloodbathed. Some of the fish that slipped through the net were either families that were too small for Li Wei to bother to target, or families that did not add insult to injury during the plague, but instead helped control the plague.
Li Wei also understood the principle of killing a group and releasing a group.
In one day, there were many ordinary people in Kyoto following Li Wei to watch the excitement, but Li Wei just ignored them.
When nearly ten families who had taken advantage of the plague and famine were thoroughly raided, the Fujiwara branch family members seemed to be as excited as bulls when counting supplies and food.
In one day, more than 100,000 kilograms of food, hundreds of thousands of money, as well as more than 400 samurai swords, more than 800 Jumonji spears, and more than 200 bows and arrows were seized.
Such assets directly expanded the Fujiwara family's assets several times. If all these materials were used for the development of the Fujiwara family, the Fujiwara family could raise an army to compete head-on with the Genji shogunate.
When the time comes, we will directly defeat our superiors and make the Fujiwara family great again.
But Li Wei didn't care about using any other materials, such as swords and guns, to equip lower-level personnel. He only had one request: to use most of the food to maintain the rations for the hundreds of thousands of people in Kyoto.
The people who separated the family were also in a very difficult situation. Li Wei only saw an aide holding a box containing various small plants and playing with it for a long time before he said: "Master, even if all this food is used to relieve the civilians in Kyoto, it will not be enough." It can only last for more than a month."
"The Winter Festival will happen to be coming in more than a month, and we won't have any food left by then..."
After the guest finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Li Wei.
"Then mix the floured chaff and rice ears into these grains, and wait until the first batch of potatoes are planted." Levi said, "By the way, let Fujiwara Kanechang be responsible for disaster relief, and cook every pot. Sprinkle a handful of sand into the good porridge."
After recording what Li Wei said, this staff member asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, I understand everything else, but why do you want to sprinkle a handful of sand on it?"
Li Wei looked at him and saw that the aide's scalp was numb and he was adjusting his tall hat very nervously.
"We don't need to provide disaster relief to everyone, we just need to allow those who can't survive this year to survive. You add sand to the porridge, so that only people who really can't survive will eat it."
The staff and the surrounding branches all lowered their heads and pondered, suddenly realizing something.
They never thought that they could use this method to distinguish those who really couldn't survive and those who were just looking for petty gains.
This method comes from a corrupt official whom Li Wei knew in his previous life. Although the method is simple and crude, it is very effective.
This method best alleviates the food crisis.
The previous staff calculated the food consumption of the entire Kyoto, but Li Wei excluded those who could be self-reliant.
In this case, only real disaster victims will eat this kind of porridge, and the food pressure will be greatly reduced.
"Si Guo Yi, Si Guo Yi! (Wonderful)" Someone immediately slapped his palm.
In fact, this method is not difficult. The difficulty is that no one has the same brain circuit as the big corrupt official.
"By the way, regarding the issue of disaster relief, I will give a complete plan to Fujiwara Kanagawa later and ask him to do it according to the above." Levi's complete plan is the best plan calculated by Yin Wa. .
Large areas of farmland throughout Kyoto are abandoned, and now a large number of laborers are needed to harvest the few grains and to loosen and compost the land.
Therefore, in addition to the gruel mixed with sand and soil, there is another kind of thick porridge made entirely of rice. However, to drink the thick porridge, you need to implement a work-for-relief program. Only those who help work in the farmland can drink it, and they are even allowed to drink it. Take it back and give it to your family.
After everything was arranged, Li Wei saw a monk wearing a bamboo hat coming to Lanshan Grand Shrine. It was Master Lianhua.
"Master, why can't Mahayana Buddhism save the world? How can we truly save this world?" Master Lianhua pulled down his bamboo hat. His face was full of calm, but underneath that calmness, it seemed like a volcano was hidden.
