"Work has started, work has started, two kilograms of potatoes a day, start recruiting laborers!" In Kyoto, people beating gongs and drums began to recruit workers, and this time working in the ice and snow, the wages are very good, two kilograms of potatoes a day, for ordinary people
It’s a price that the landlord can’t refuse.
This is also due to the high-yielding potatoes brought by Fujiwara Miko and Levi from the Bald Eagle. No matter how barren the land in Kyoto is, it only reaches less than half of the ideal yield of the Bald Eagle's high-yielding potatoes, but for people of this era, it is
miracle.
As for saying that potatoes as a staple food have various disadvantages, if you tell people of this era, they will definitely look at the person who says this like a fool.
Not to mention potatoes, when you were poor, bark, grass roots, mice, Guanyin soil... these things could be eaten to extinction, not to mention that after the birth of potatoes, the people at the bottom could not only eat enough, but even have a dry meal occasionally.
instead of porridge every day like before.
As a result, rats started scurrying around in the homes on the ground floor. Because life got better, at least every family had some leftover potatoes. The rats that used to be food now began to eat potatoes secretly.
However, catching a mouse is just a snack for the common people. Regardless of whether it is healthy or not, they can't wait to stew it in boiling water for several hours to stew out several pots of water with just a little oil.
Under the beating of gongs and drums by the supervisors, many people began to insist on working despite the sub-zero temperature.
The porters began to transport piles of supplies to the city wall. Among them were bombs made by Levi, bullets and parts of firearms and cannons produced by Eva, as well as food and daily necessities.
For the upcoming war, Kyoto has also begun emergency mobilization, and various logistics supplies have also begun to be arranged.
After experiencing the last war, this time the deployment of logistical supplies became more comfortable, and rounds of ashigaru samurai began to stand guard and observe the movements in the distance, ready for battle at any time.
In the city of Kyoto, it seems that a storm is coming. Everyone is aware that a war may be coming, and the price of food has begun to rise.
This group of aristocrats in Kyoto can only make so much money, and they only have this third-rate method of making money, especially during the winter and the war, starting from food.
However, this time, the Fujiwara family's food inventory was far beyond anyone's imagination. When food prices began to increase, a large number of potatoes poured into the market. In addition, a large number of workers were recruited during the preparation stage of the war.
Potatoes are paid for wages.
The food supply in Kyoto has also stabilized in a very short period of time.
The ninjas also started working, and not a single one of these people speculating on food prices could escape.
"Look, look, it's the Daimyo who has started patrolling!"
I don't know who shouted, and then the whole street seemed to be boiling. Everyone rushed to come here and started to kneel down voluntarily.
"Long live the Daimyo!"
"Lord Daimyo, I will follow you to the death."
Everyone, whether old or young, voluntarily followed the Fujiwara family's oxcart in the cold weather. Their concept was very simple, and they did not care who was the famous one.
They only know that since Fujiwara Chihime became a daimyo, life has become better, they can have enough food, and their wages are paid daily.
In the past, if you worked for the nobles, you would be thankful if you could get paid. Many people worked for the nobles for several months, but in the end they didn't get a penny. But now they even get paid on a daily basis.
Basically, even the poorest people can start to make ends meet, and men and women in the family who can help will do so.
Therefore, the people who support the Fujiwara family the most are not the nobles, but the common people.
There are even rumors that the head of the Fujiwara family is a god who travels around the world, and that the love of the Fujiwara princess moved the god, and the god began to decide to save the world.
This is how myths come about. With normal development, such stories will gradually turn into folk tales passed down orally, and then be transformed into 绯ku, rakugo and monogatari novels.
Chihime Fujiwara opened the curtain a little and looked at the prosperity of Kyoto, and she inadvertently showed a smile.
This is a strong sense of achievement with positive feedback. If she was secretly at home alone, she might jump for joy, but now that Levi is aside, she just uses a fan to cover her face, hiding behind the fan and snickering.
After all, she can be said to be the first daimyo in history who can do anything without thinking about it. Her power is intimidated by Levi, and her knowledge is backed by Eva, an encyclopedia from the future.
In addition, the whole of Kyoto has completely become the one-spoken family of the Fujiwara family. The other larger families are very aware of current affairs and are very settled. Some small and medium-sized families will not jump even if they break their spines.
There are no constraints from other nobles and no resistance of all kinds.
"How's it going? You feel the fruits of your busy work these past few months." Levi leaned on the other side of the car and looked at her with a smile.
"Hmm, it's really like a dream. In just a few months, Kyoto has changed so much." She chuckled and covered her mouth with a fan.
"By the way, uh, can my little niece's leg be cured..." Chiki Fujiwara was still very embarrassed when she talked about her little niece. After all, she felt that her generation was too confusing. The one who looked like she was in her thirties.
Yunji was called her little niece by her seventeen-year-old self.
"I don't know, it just depends on Eva's ability." Levi also sighed.
"Brother, let me ask you by the way, is Miko's biological mother really the same race as you?" She began to think of another question, which was why Fujiwara Miko called her "stepmother" yesterday.
matter.
"I'm doing research. Maybe, she might actually have some relationship. She is a half-demon, no, maybe a demon with less than one-eighth of her bloodline. I have a few guesses, but I'm not sure yet.
"
"Does Miko actually have the blood of a demon? Ah, it seems that half-demon is not particularly rare after all." Chiki Fujiwara was also a little surprised.
"Yes, I also know another half-demon, a guy with blond hair, who is even more babbling." Levi thought of Sakata Kintoki, the thing that had tricked him countless times.
But such a simple guy is really interesting. Doing things with him will not be boring at least. He can always come up with something new for you.
And Levi seems to have discovered that Sakata Kintoki also feels a little bit chuunibyou. He gets so excited when he picks up a straight stick on the roadside that he must break a few grasses before he can give up.
If you touch any flat stones by the river, you will be able to float them away.
Soon the ox cart was followed by thousands of people, which was much more lively than the winter festival or the oiran parade. Everyone spontaneously wanted to see the Daimyo's vehicle.
When the emperor still lived in Kyoto, there probably was no such scene.
"Look, brother, this is our Kyoto." Fujiwara Chihime pointed to the crowd behind the oxcart, as if she was showing off to her parents.
Maybe this is her nature, after all, she is only seventeen years old.
By the time we had almost completed a tour of Kyoto, it was already afternoon. This was one of the ways to appease the people, and also to inspect the situation in Kyoto.
By this time, the oxcart was knocked, and a ninja handed out a letter to the two people in the oxcart: "Lord Daimyo, Grand Master, the people of Satsuma Domain on Kyushu Island have arrived in the west of Kyoto.
They were stationed here, and at this time they submitted the letter."
"Did they arrive so soon? In such a hurry?" Li Wei was a little surprised at the speed of Satsuma Domain's support.
After all, Satsuma Domain is on Kyushu Island, probably nearly a thousand kilometers away from Kyoto.
This speed made Li Wei feel incredible. They also rushed here in the ice and snow.
"Yes, my lord, not only that, the Satsuma clan lord and his guards are going to come to Kyoto in person to have a detailed discussion with you. They are expected to arrive at night tonight." The ninja continued.
"I understand. Give them an answer and tell them that there will be a good banquet tonight." Li Wei said.
"Hai!"
As for the content of the banquet, it includes roasted potatoes, fried shredded potatoes, stewed potatoes, braised potatoes, mashed potatoes with mustard, boiled potatoes...
Levi would definitely leave the few meat and fish he had for his wife, and there would be nothing else but potatoes for entertaining guests.
"Qianji, let me handle this." Li Wei decided to take over these matters.
"Okay, then Sister Yidong and I will settle the dinner ourselves." Qianji suddenly became alert and made an "X" gesture with both hands on her chest and said, "Also, any marriage proposal must be rejected, Da
Mea yo!”
"Okay, okay..."
Li Wei took his thermos cup and stepped out of the cart, taking a sip of the wolfberry tea.
He personally reclaimed a small piece of land and planted wolfberries in Fujiwara Mansion. It is estimated that there will be no shortage of wolfberries in the coming year. There are not many wolfberries in hand now, so save some.
"Why do the people of the Satsuma Domain dare to trust me so much? If I betray the covenant and attack them directly at this time, wouldn't they completely collapse?" Li Wei was slightly confused.
However, there is also a possibility that the people of Satsuma Domain really came to seek refuge with him, thinking that Li Wei was a heroic leader.
"You'll understand it tonight."
…
"Ah, you said there are really similar people in Kyoto?" Kintaro was chirping with crows at this time.
At this time, they were still a little uncomfortable with the ice and snow. In fact, the Satsuma Domain was still relatively warm now, but the deeper they went into Honshu Island, the colder it became.
Not only the crow, but Kintaro is also accompanied by a lot of other animals, including black bears, wolves, crows, and a vine demon following them. The style of the painting suddenly seems to jump to the druid in Celtic mythology.
.
This is actually a talent of his being a half-demon. He is born with the ability to communicate with any animal, including many little demons who have not yet become demons.
Except for weird things, it tried to talk to weird things. As a result, all he felt was endless resentment and pain, which almost made him go crazy. If it weren't for a beating from his mother that made him regain his special
If he doesn't have the memory of training, he might get lost in the weird misfortune.
At that time, its thinking was almost linked to weirdness. If it hadn't been protected by some kind of special protection, it might have started to become irreversibly weird.
After communicating with the crow for a long time, Kintaro got a positive answer, which made him even more depressed.
The feudal lord of the Satsuma Domain can also be said to be a daimyo. It was Kintaro, the demon. Originally, when he and Ibuki Dōji fled to Kyushu Island, the feudal lord here belonged to the Shimazu family.
But now the Shimazu family has become history. Kintaro is the big name on the surface, but in fact it is Ibuki Doji who calls the shots for the entire Kyushu Island.
"Can we go to Kyoto?" Ibuki Doji's purple-black skin was exposed in the ice and snow, and her snake scales seemed to be reflecting light. Even though it was so cold, she did not put on thick clothes.
"Um, mother-in-law, should we change a little, after all, we are like this..." Kintaro himself is two meters and a half tall, with a muscular body, and he can barely make it in this world with spiritual power.
But Ibuki-douji reached three meters, and there were quite a few purple-black snake scales exposed on his body, which was obviously abnormal.
"No, that's it. I want him to see everything I have endured over the years." There was only cruelty on her face.
Kintaro only felt his heart twitching. It might have known that the mother claimed that she had completely defeated the erosion caused by the snake's heart, but Kintaro felt it the most clearly.
My mother has completely changed, becoming vicious and cruel. She may not have been able to truly defeat the influence of the serpent, but was corrupted by the serpent.
"Then let's go, do you need to take anyone else with you?" Sakata Kintoki asked.
"No, it's enough for the two of us to go." She stared in the direction of Kyoto, clenching her fists tightly, and her nails seemed to sink into the flesh of her palms.
Kintaro: "..."
Foster father, you decide what to do on your own, I'll let you know...
He released his crow, hoping that the crow would give Levi a warning beforehand, and then followed Ibuki Doji and the two of them strode to Kyoto.
With a height of more than two meters, he looks like a giant.
…
When the sun went down, Li Wei seemed to have sent people from his branch family to arrange a banquet for tonight, which included wine and food.
And he was going to pick up his little niece first.
When they came to Eva's side, one fox and one AI began to continuously analyze a scanned picture, and seemed to be discussing how to perform the operation.
All Levi heard was about "neural bypass" and "using the demon's healing power to proliferate nerve cells" and the like.
It seems that in just one day, this little niece began to become a very professional modern surgeon, and began to figure out how to operate on herself.
"Let's do this for today." Levi knocked on the door and said.
"That's it. Let's discuss it again tomorrow. Thank you, Teacher Eva." Her pupils seemed to have regained their light, which was something called hope.
"What's wrong? Can it be cured?" Levi asked casually.
"Teacher Eva said there is a 50% chance that it can be cured, but it requires nerve proliferation and grafting surgery." She directly said a term that Levi didn't understand.
"Oh, that's it. I'm 50% sure. It should be 100% based on the demon's physique." Levi replied.
My little niece, who was able to surpass me in knowledge and vision yesterday, could no longer understand the nouns she was talking about after not seeing me for a day.
The two of them were chatting like this, and Levi could only deal with it with his half-baked first aid knowledge.
Just before leaving Arashiyama, a ninja hurriedly came to Li Wei and said: "Master, the lord of Satsuma Domain has arrived at the gate of the city and has now entered the city."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Li Wei also frowned and said, "Okay, I understand, why don't we go and meet the Satsuma clan lord together for a while."
Li Wei said to Yun Ji.
Thanks to the "Little Huihui in the world" brother for the reward, and thanks to the "most trustworthy man in the world" brother for the reward.
