Chapter 90. stratagem
The prosperity of the castle town continues, and at night, the extravagance appears with the lighting of lamps and candles, and it sweeps through the entire castle town with a fiery attitude, and the people who are drunk and dreaming of death also wander to the streets.
This is not much of a surprise for the roadside wild girl and others, since there are people who can take advantage of the situation in the troubled times, but more are intoxicated with alcohol, paralyzing themselves, and forgetting the world to escape temporarily.
Although Chino Country seems to be peaceful, in fact, there are many small disasters in the shadows.
Not to mention the monsters in the depths of Bafan Mountain, let's just say that the monsters in the sea that appear in the coastal plains every year during the rainy season and erode for hundreds of miles make ordinary people living in this country suffer a lot.
The land reclaimed along the coastal woodlands is becoming increasingly deserted, the coastal fishing industry has been devastated, and the caravans of merchants shuttling from place to place are afraid to get over easily, which has led to the desolation of the land.
Many of the civilians living in the coastal plains have long since fled.
Even if the samurai are recruited every year to go on a crusade.
But what about the actual effect?
It's not that the monsters in the sea hurriedly slipped into the sea or rivers when they saw that things were not good, and then they hid in the depths of the complex swamps, as long as they didn't pursue them in depth by boat, and when the summer rain came and the water level rose, it was okay to take the opportunity to flee back to the sea, leaving everyone in the country of Qianye to look at the erosive situation, and only look at each other.
In the rainy season of the following spring and summer, the cold rain is as comfortable as the sea, and these sea youkai who have fled back continue to land with new sea youkai, and the coastal land of the entire Chino Province has fallen into erosion again.
So repeatedly, you can only see tricks and dismantle tricks, and trying to eradicate this problem is tantamount to a fool's dream.
There is the sea.
There are youkai that breed in the sea.
Without the ability to burn mountains and boil the sea, then these monsters in the sea are endless!
What's more, there are monsters in the mountains as henchmen, and the main forces of the Chino Kingdom are all preparing for battle in Nansa Castle, so that the garrisons of the other two prefectures of the Chino Country are all inferior troops, where can the monsters in the sea be really expelled?
At most, it is enough to ensure that the city is not lost, and when the rainy season passes, the monsters will naturally retreat.
In the past 16 years, it has become a common practice.
Just like now.
Minamisa Castle recruited samurai and ashigaru people and sent them to clean up the coastal sawa, sweep away the yokai who had not had time to retreat back to the sea, and temporarily recover the villages near the fallen coastal sawa.
By the way, the destroyed cottages were simply rested, and the last crop of rice was planted while the summer had just begun, and a batch of grain could be obtained by the end of autumn, although it was not as good as the yield of two crops of rice a year, but there was still a harvest.
If it weren't for the fact that this season of rice had to be planted to increase the harvest, Senno Province would have given up on the coastal splendor long ago.
But just before that.
If you don't clean up the monsters in the depths of the wilderness, the commoners who fled to the castle and the rich families who enjoy themselves in the castle town can only continue to wait here, wanting to forget all this in a drunken dream.
However, this decadent appearance has indirectly increased the prosperity of the castle town.
I have to say... It's ridiculous!
Street.
Wild girls and ninjas walk along the roadside in the castle town, and the shops on both sides are brightly lit.
From time to time on the road, drunken passers-by fall and get up, or they are kicked out of the izakaya or casino with the noisy scolding, and they are slumped on the side of the road for a short time before they are targeted by a few angry people.
The night in the castle town did not belong to the good people, or the common people and the poor were not eligible to enter, but only the rich families with a small surplus of money, or the merchants who had a lot of money every day.
Which of these red-light district-like markets is not a gold cave?
To know.
Part of the tax revenue of the entire Nansa Castle is supported by the castle town.
Otherwise, even if people can be fed with the little grain harvest in the field, and there is no incentive such as salary, why should those ashigaru people or samurai simply think that they are the lords or daimyo of the country when they listen to the good orders of Nansa Castle?
Without interests, relying solely on fame, this kind of relationship will not be solid.
Especially in the face of such danger.
Who can rest assured?
This is also true for the wild girls on the roadside.
Since he has become a great name and the lord of a country, the love of children cannot be counted, otherwise he, the former son of the son, the bloodline, can now be recruited here by the rebel and go to the dangerous coastal plains?
He is stationed in Bafan Mountain, which is equivalent to danger, and now he has sent troops to the coastal swamps, in case something happens, who can know if it is a trap deliberately set by Nanzuo City?
Thinking about the ghost warrior in the Eight Fan Mountain, maybe he has a very close connection with his father, the wild girl on the side of the road turned her head to look at the towering Nanzuo City next to her, and couldn't help but shake her head: "What's going on here?!"
Originally, I also planned to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and slowly develop.
The results are good now—
Forcing the palace!
Nan Zuocheng directly didn't give him this chance.
Pulled all his cover-up on the spot, and even he himself was pulled to the vicinity of Nanzuo City, no matter how much he covered up, he couldn't use some strength to show his strength when he was in danger?
The wild girl on the side of the road led the team forward, and soon came to the warehouse area, looking at the warehouse built of heavy wood, and the carriage that was still parked on the side of the road in front, she stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyebrows: "If you don't show your strength, you won't let me go." ”
Stretching out his hand to move forward, the two shinobi behind him suddenly walked forward: "Hey!"
They cried out, "What about the stewards?"
Just inside the warehouse, the busy crowd hurriedly came out, and the leader was an old man with a sad face, wearing luxurious clothes, not angry and arrogant: "Who is making noise here?" It's just that when he saw the wild girl on the side of the road behind these two young people, his face was slightly stunned, and his footsteps were stagnant, as if there was something unspeakable.
The corners of the wild girl's mouth on the side of the road curled slightly, and she looked at the old man in front of her: "The old man of the family, I haven't seen you for a long time." He walked over and saluted, as if he had not seen anything else: "Now that we meet, don't you plan to invite me to sit down?"
The old man was the old man who had given him a special gift when he left.
Just now.
lost the original admiration and regret, but a little more embarrassing.
The sadness on his face was even worse, and he opened his mouth slightly: "I... I still have something to do... No..."He said and looked to the side unconsciously, even people who have never seen the world know that this is a prevarication.
The wild girl on the side of the road didn't seem to see it, but said indifferently: "Let's talk about it a little." He walked forward, grabbed the old man's arm, and secretly exerted his strength to drag him towards the warehouse: "How did I say that I also had supplies from Nanzuo City, but it has been a long time, the old man, if I don't send some supplies, then I will be really uncomfortable." ”
The old man wanted to break free, but in the face of the wild girl on the side of the road, who had already applied Chakra's arm, where could she break free, she could only be dragged towards the warehouse, and said with a bitter face: "I'll just go." ”
Not all of the elders of the roadside family practiced martial arts, and a few with other talents were like him, who were ordered to manage the warehouses in the castle town, responsible for the overall planning of taxes, and there was no time to practice for the most important work.
When I entered the warehouse, it was full of all kinds of materials, piled up.
There is Minami Castle.
There are also those merchants in the castle town, who exist for the sake of this generation.
This is also to prevent those merchants from really making any trouble, and if there is some armor hidden in the carriage and taking the opportunity to make a rebellion, the inside and the outside will lead to the fall of the castle town, wouldn't it be a great disaster?
Therefore, by storing the materials in the warehouse, all this can be prevented, and if something is wrong with the businessman, it can be dealt with as soon as possible, and the danger can be eliminated, and a small profit can be made.
What are the goods that can be stored in the warehouse, which ones are not worth thousands of dollars?
Of course.
What is really valuable, no merchant dares to ship.
There are many mountains along the way, and there are some castle lords or daimyo secretly peeping, in case you encounter the regular army pretending to be a mountain ambush, and all of them are finally captured, wouldn't you have to cry?
This kind of behavior is not uncommon in troubled times, and it is not uncommon for Qianye Country to be located in a remote area, where those dog brains have come out, plundering and killing each other, and using all means to fight the enemy!
The wild girl on the side of the road looked at the materials piled up in front of her, and said with emotion: "I thought that there were no more materials for me in the castle town!" He turned his head to look at the old man: "Isn't that a lot?"
The old family's face was embarrassed, and his sadness deepened: "This originally... Should... It's going to go down for two days... Maybe I'll send it to you—" he stumbled, "But lately... Aren't you busy..."
The wild girl on the side of the road smiled: "If you are busy, you won't send supplies, my lord?"
The elder bowed his head in shame: "... Busy. ”
He is already virtuous, and he used to teach the children of the roadside family in Nanzuo City, and he is a teacher, but he can come to this warehouse because the old man was questioned for corruption, so he was asked to come over and replace him temporarily.
Now in the face of the ridicule and scolding of the wild girl Akari on the side of the road, he has nothing to say, he can only say something else in a secret and want to miss it, after all, the news has already come to him from above, even if he feels guilty, but what can he do? It's not about what to do!
Just as the two were entangled inside, there was also a noise outside the warehouse, accompanied by angry scolding and the ninjas' calm answers, the corners of the wild girl's mouth on the side of the road curled slightly: "Is it finally here?"
He came to the warehouse to look for it, and it was not this old man in the first place.
It's the people now!
The old man's face was frightened, and he was a little pale: "Why did you really come?"
Looking at the wild girl on the side of the road, he still sighed softly: "Wild girl, you are still..." He hesitated: "You should still listen to the order, after you leave, this Nanzuo City will not be the original Nanzuo City!"
The wild girl on the side of the road frowned: "What?" He wanted to continue to ask, but the old man shook his head and took the lead in walking outside, he could only follow, and when he came outside to look at the person who came, it was the junior warrior at that time.
was leading more than a dozen ashigaru people, and scolded with an embarrassed face: "You untouchables dare to stop me?!"
