"Is it dawn?" Spider got out of the bed, disheveled hair, and asked doubtfully.
"Punched in to go to work! Still sleeping, don't sleep, get up. How can you sleep well at your age? You are a bit unpromising at your age!" Levi directly opened the spider's quilt and let out the cold wind.
Pour it into the bed.
She looked very much like a parent who wakes up her child in winter. Besides, if she doesn't wake her up during the day, she won't be able to spare Li Wei at night.
Then the spider actually had a piece of plush clothing under the quilt and continued to wrap it.
"If you go to the factory to make screws like this, there will be no residual value." Levi continued.
"I have realized my lifelong dream, and now I just want to be a rich wife and show off..." Spider complained, getting up and starting to change into work clothes instead of being wrapped up like a bear every day at home.
"Okay, okay, I know you brides will hibernate in winter, but I do have something very important to give you." Levi said, taking out the information about the mysterious caravan and handing it to Spider.
, "Do you have any impression?"
She rubbed her eyes. In this era without bras, she simply held up her chest with a strip of cloth, simply fixing it to prevent it from moving around. Then she put on a warm coat. She took the information, her eyes becoming more and more anxious.
stand up.
"I actually don't have a deep impression of human things, but this caravan may be real, because someone once mentioned it to me, but I didn't take it seriously." Spider said, rubbing his hair, which became even more scattered.
Got up.
"That may be a big problem." Levi became a little more serious.
If people like Spider from outside the city have only heard of it, then the mystery of this caravan will continue to be questioned.
Having just emerged from the shadow of monsters that wreaked havoc on the city, Li Wei felt that there was something wrong with these people who came into the city from outside the city and had a little bit of PTSD.
"It seems that I really have to work overtime. Just wait for a few days and I'll arrange for someone to go down and investigate this." Spider took the information and she also felt that something might be wrong.
"By the way, one more thing. I want to pick out some bright-minded people in the Ninja Village who are eager to learn. I want to start cultivating my first direct descendants." Li Wei continued.
"This is no problem. In fact, someone has already done it. Okay, I will work overtime today, but you will have to cook the food yourself to make up for it tonight." Spider said.
Then, after spending a short time getting organized and entering work mode, she disappeared directly and went to Ninja Village to collect information and arrange work.
Li Wei thought, although he was also concerned about the new caravan, but more than that, he was also concerned about Nara's submarine oil fields and the movements of the Genji shogunate.
After thinking for a long time but having nothing to do, Li Wei came to the interceptor factory at Arashiyama Taisha Shrine, where he and Yin Wa continued to work on the gradual development of the technology tree.
Not only that, he also wants to start arranging for some people to come to Yin Wa to take classes and learn something new, instead of being completely restricted by the bottom of Kyoto, which is as rotten as a cesspit. Now, he needs a large number of people who can
People who can read are preferably people with some knowledge.
But it is very sad that there are no such people in Kyoto. In fact, during the Heian period, when the public controlled the power, Weihara had an imperial examination system. However, the biggest problem was that the literacy rate in the entire country was only less than 0.1%.
In other words, only people from aristocratic families are qualified to read, and even those who are not small aristocrats, so those who can enter the imperial examination must be people from aristocratic families, then this imperial examination is worse than none, it is simply nonsense.
After the shogun came to power, the imperial examination disappeared, but Yoritomo Minamoto, who made his fortune by force, didn't care about literacy at all. Now is the era when all the people are addicted to martial arts and sword practice. Kendo halls are opened, and a large number of non-official samurai begin.
Accept disciples and teach martial arts.
Nowadays, the literate people in Kyoto are basically a bunch of people from the public aristocracy. It is impossible to have an era like the Three Kingdoms era, when counselors were everywhere and talents were everywhere.
The public nobles of Weiyuan belong to the kind of people who cannot be saved, that is, the group of people whose homes were confiscated by Li Wei a few months ago. What this group of people did can be compared to the Donglin Party and the like.
Countless times worse.
Because at the very least, there are still people the Donglin Party is afraid of. Before Li Wei came, who were these nobles of the Zigong family afraid of?
Killing people in the street and kidnapping their wives and daughters, and then after a while there were several swollen corpses in the gutter. This kind of thing was very common before Li Wei came.
As for the Fujiwara family, the Fujiwara family is just too high-ranking and it is difficult to reach the bottom. In the past, the main business was in flower streets and the like, serving the rich. But the Fujiwara family exploited the middle and upper classes. In fact, the Fujiwara family exploited the middle and upper classes.
Essentially, they are just as bad as other nobles.
Let alone Prime Minister Zhuge, now even if Li Wei is given a person like Ma Su, he may be happy.
In the interceptor factory, smart machine tools and 3D printers have been installed. Yin Wa can now start building some light industries, but these industries will gradually be decentralized and then become Kyoto's basic industries.
In this arrangement, a group of children who were only about five or six years old were selected and sent to Lanshan to begin in-depth study and transformation that lasted for more than a month.
Most of these children are orphans from previous wars and disasters. They were picked up by the dean of the Ninja Village who specializes in recycling orphans. Most of them have no ninja talent but are pretty smart.
And although this group of children did not have ninja talent, they had all gone through several months of arduous ninja training. At this time, each one of them stood up straight, and kept their heads still while scanning the surroundings, alert to everyone.
At the head of the group, Levi saw Miko Fujiwara, a young girl who looked like a kindergarten teacher among these brats.
These people will be the only grassroots personnel that Levi can use for a long time to come.
…
Outside the city of Kyoto, a caravan from Shendu was slowly advancing. It was a large caravan, with about dozens of people, and more than a dozen ox-carts moving slowly along the main road.
They had just finished doing business in Shendu. Even the tyrannical and extremely jealous Minamoto Yoritomo did not block or rob the caravan, but carried out normal transactions.
Because this caravan is already the only caravan in Weiyuan that can make currency in several cities. The other caravans are all very small and desperate, just betting that they will not encounter monsters and weirdos on the way.
"Master Haneda, walk five hundred miles to the west and you will arrive in Kyoto. We expect to arrive in eight days. But recently I heard that Kyoto is in chaos, with monsters, weird things, and civil strife. How about we bypass Kyoto directly?
How about going to Nara?" a waiter said to the people in a bullock cart.
This waiter is over two meters tall. Under his helmet, he has a big nose with deep-set brows and blond hair. He is not an Asian, but a standard white man.
"Williams, no, Miura Taiga, it doesn't matter, just continue to Kyoto as planned. After all, what we brought this time is a cargo that no one can refuse." He was the only one in this bullock cart.
The man was dressed in pure white straight clothes and a black hat, but in the winter he was holding a folding fan and fanning himself constantly.
Among the more than a dozen oxcarts, except for one in which he was sitting, and one for the priests, the other oxcarts all carried a large amount of cargo. The axles of the axles pressed deeply into the snow-covered dirt road, while those of other caravans were
People can only move forward on foot in the snow.
As we walked along, it seemed that no matter whether they were monsters or monsters, they were not interested in them, so they just looked away from a distance.
In other words, the priests they hired were just pretending, and there was no need for priests at all.
"After all, what we brought this time is news about the elixir. Who can refuse the elixir? Besides, the current daimyo in Kyoto is a woman." He shook the folding fan in his hand, showing a determined look.
look.
He slightly lifted the curtains of the car and looked out the window, but there was nothing but snow outside. He squinted his eyes and showed an expression that was indeed the case.
"Also, these natives can actually summon the foreign god, the fourth foreign god..."
…
Originally, it was a fool's errand to do business in such an environment outside the city and during such a time period.
Even if there were no monsters and monsters, the snowy environment would be enough to crush any caravan in this era. In an era when only nobles could afford down fabrics, they relied entirely on linen and catkins to keep them warm. In winter, people would literally freeze to death.
Moreover, snowy days are the best time for snow girls to appear. Even in the city, there may be many attacks by snow girls. People often freeze to death at home and in other places. Such cases are basically considered to be murderers of snow girls.
Damn it, let alone the environment outside the city.
But in this environment, they actually established a trade route.
It took a few days for Spider to actually collect some information, mainly through the news sent back by the ninjas who sneaked into Shendu.
The main cargo of the caravan is a kind of sake, which is much clearer than the mazoshu that even the princes and nobles of Ashihara drink now, as well as rice cakes, kombu, crabs and various dried fish from Ezo.
As goods, then exchange for food.
"Hanedao... no, this name is very wrong..." Li Wei just looked at the names of the merchants in the caravan and felt that something was very wrong.
Maybe people in Weiyuan wouldn't realize the problem with this name, but when Li Wei saw this merchant's name, he felt a sense of dissonance. It didn't seem like the name of this country or this world.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the name, but I seem to have gotten a piece of false information about the elixir." Spider said in the same way.
"Elixir?"
"Yes, this caravan seems to have news about the elixir. Therefore, Yoritomo Minamoto may have secretly traded with them late at night. Not only that, but what puzzles me the most is why they all have news about the elixir.
, Minamoto Yoritomo hasn’t secretly killed them yet, this is not like Minamoto Yoritomo’s style.”
Spider also discovered a blind spot. Minamoto Yoritomo, who could even kill his own brother, was not such a generous person.
"Haneda... Hagoromo Fox... Spider, you have been following Yiji for a long time, do you know what her last name is?" Levi suddenly asked.
"Yi Ji's surname?" Spider became really confused.
In their demon circle, basically all the demons have names, but they rarely call the opposite person by their real name. They basically use the monster name and code name.
Just like she is a spider, so she is codenamed "Mrs. Spider", which is actually another word for spider. Her real name is Yin Dong, but this name is rarely used anymore.
Other Tengu, Fang, etc. are all code names and are not real names. This is a hidden method to prevent Onmyoji from using special spells after knowing the real name.
Just like "Yi Ji" and "Xiao Yi" are definitely not her real names, Yi Ji actually means "the princess named 'Yi'".
Just like Fujiwara Chihime's real name is actually "Fujiwara Chi", and Hime is the suffix of her being the princess of the Fujiwara family. Of course, this was just the case in this era, and the word "Hime" was also abused as a name in later generations.
"Let me think about it, wait a minute, Iki-sama's hometown is Mount Fugaku, and her surname seems to be Haneda...wait..." Spider's mind seemed a little confused, and she began to hang herself from the beam.
, letting himself hang upside down and murmuring constantly.
After Yin Wa had gone through the information left by the Fujiwara family head, one of Li Wei's feelings of disobedience was that the surname Haneda was not something that ordinary people could have, especially in this era.
In later generations, the Haneda family was divided into two families, "Haneda" and "Harada", and they were all lost to everyone, so the surname didn't matter, but in this era, Emperor Haneda was just a hundred years ago.
The surname Haneda is obviously related to the emperor, and may even be related to the legendary Kami Takamagahara, because in the legend, the surname of the King of Gods, Amano Onaka, is "Haneda".
This surname is like the "Otsutsuki" surname in the ninja world. It is the kind of person who will feel inconsistent whenever he sees it. For example, in Li Wei's previous life, a person with the surname "Jade Emperor" was as inconsistent as he was.
Similarly, Li Wei seemed to have ignored Yi Ji's last name when he came into contact with Yi Ji, because this is also a very important clue.
Just because he is not a native of this world, a lot of information that can be obtained through his surname and first name will be ignored.
"Wait for me, I will investigate the Haneda family. Since they can become merchants, there must be many clues in this world. I will check it out." Spider said, she also felt all kinds of difficulties.
.
She suddenly disappeared into the room.
Soon, she came back, but her expression was very scary, just like when the two were fighting for their lives when they first met, she said: "I have found out here that the Haneda family is indeed based in Mount Fugaku...
So I may not have remembered wrongly about the fact that Yorihime-sama’s surname is also ‘Haneda’…”
"That's going to be troublesome. The elixir, coupled with Haneda's surname... After pushing and pushing, it seems to be related to Xu Fu again..." Li Wei said, sighing, "Xu Fu, are you serious?
It’s the Emperor Shakten in Weiyuan’s mythology…”
The most inconvenient thing about the name "Haneda Eru" is that if he only needs to change "E" to "Qin", the name will not look like Weiyuan's name, but will look like the name of his hometown in his previous life.
