Chapter 111: Points Exchange (I)
[Your ninja level is suppressed, and you can't get relevant information.] 】
Looking at the information fed back by the coat of arms, Yun Qi was completely speechless.
An old man who works in reception, and his rank is still above him, doesn't it mean that the old man in front of him who is not amazing is at least a ninja?
However, Yun Qi soon noticed the ornamentation on the old ninja's chest, which was a very familiar pattern, and he immediately connected what he saw with the triplet ninja in Iga.
He suddenly understood the true identity of the old man: honorary forbearance.
It should be that the old man is responsible for logistics all the year round, and there is no merit and hard work, so he will be specially awarded an honorary forbearance to fill his face.
After thinking about this, Yun Qi's negative emotions just now were somewhat calmed.
According to the old man's introduction, the usefulness of points is not ordinary.
Because Koga is located in a closed valley, the money and silver that circulate outside cannot be said to be useless in the swastika, at least not the currency in circulation.
And the real currency in circulation is points.
Points can be exchanged not only for the equipment and items you need from the Armory, but also for the food, salt, tobacco, and even pills that you need every day.
This was supposed to be a rule for the Koga Kusa layer to control and stabilize the economic and military position of the Swastika.
It seems that this regulation is rough and similar to the primitive tribe, but after thinking about it, Yun Qi still appreciates the wisdom of the top level of Jiahe.
At the very least, it would allow them to better rule the entire Swastika.
In the past two days, through contact with ordinary villagers (non-combat forces) in Koga, Yun Qi has a general understanding of the daily food consumption of the semi-isolated village of Swastika, which can be described as miserable.
Ninja Village, as a special unit in ancient Japan, pursued a village with full militarization as the standard.
For true ninjas, the food supply paid by the ninja village is very generous.
However, as those villagers who are not fighting forces, their lives are very difficult. Like the breakfast that Yun Qi enjoyed this morning, it can be said that it has reached the standard of the ninja system, and ordinary people are said that breakfast is added together with dinner, and there are not as many calories as this meal. (The reason why breakfast and dinner are only added together is because Japanese farmers only eat two meals a day.) )
This is the malaise of militarized management: concentrating the power of the whole village and developing it on a large scale to defend the homeland, resist the threat from Iga, and secretly engage in military competition with Iga (you can think of it as a miniature version of the Cold War); At the same time, the living materials could not meet the needs of the majority of the people, so they could only feed the ninjas at the top of the village with the Songun policy, and the people at the bottom could only silently accept the tragic fate of starving to death and not having enough to eat
Fortunately, the servility of the Japanese is implanted in their national blood (some people say that the Chinese are servile, cut, a 2,000-year-old peasant can call out "the emperor will Xiangning has a kind of" nation, how can it be servile?) Coupled with the fact that under the absolute power of the ninjas, no villager dared to rebel against the authority of the Koga ninjas.
However, considering that the life of the Koga villagers was a portrayal of the lower class in Japan at that time, their character of being content with the status quo and submissive was also in line with the trend of the times at that time.
Ending his boring reverie, Yun Qi suddenly felt that in fact, the points policy was not a wise design, and it was estimated that on the side of Iga, who was also militarized, he pursued a points policy similar to that of Koga.
Yun Qi checked the list of points exchange, and various forbearance equipment took up a lot of space.
The so-called ninja tools are nothing more than kunai, ninja darts, various toxin potions, blow needle hidden weapons, various katanas, and so on.
Among them, katana swords are the most classified, and they are divided into the most common taiji, the short taiken that is easy to hide, the small taidao (one-foot length) used with the formal taiji, the relatively short dacha, the special long scroll, and the naginata suitable for women.
However, Yun Qi didn't have much interest in these, and he didn't lack weapons.
In contrast, he was very interested in the various pills that Koga produces.
Among them, there was the three-color divine pill that Jiahe secretly refined to attract his attention.
[Three-color elixir: Special D-grade elixir, a pill refined according to the Chinese Taoist Danshu, because the surface presents three colors, yellow, red and blue, so it is called the three-color elixir, after taking it, the temporary full attribute is doubled, but it dies after the effect. Duration of action, three minutes. 】
Perhaps because of the huge side effects, it does not require a lot of points for redemption, only 500 points.
Of course, Yun Qi would not be stupid enough to take it himself, but the Tricolor Divine Pill is not only possessed by humans, it is as effective as beasts and birds of prey, but few people will be extravagant enough to use the Tricolor Divine Pill to feed their pets.
"Strange ......" Yun Qi saw the three-color divine pill, but thought of a question.
He asked the old ninja, "Does the Iga clan also possess a secret elixir similar to the three-color elixir?" ”
"Yes!" The old ninja replied with a sigh of gold.
This answer caused Yun Qi to ponder further: if the Iga people also possessed the secret elixir of the three-color divine elixir, then why didn't Yakshamaru take this elixir under the great threat of Barrett?
Not to mention that Yaksha Pill is so arrogant that he doesn't have an elixir on his body to use to die together.
It seemed that seeing Yun Qi's doubts, the old ninja solved his doubts.
It turned out that although the three-color elixir was a secret medicine used to die together in a desperate situation, once the three-color elixir was taken, the skin on the whole body would turn red.
In that way, even if it is a lower ninja, everyone knows that you have taken the three-color divine pill, so in this case, it is natural to give priority to running away rather than fighting with you.
Considering that the group of ninjas resembles a pyramid shape, and is at the top elite upper ninja, each of them is a strategic deterrent resource for the ninja village, and it is a guarantee to protect the entire village from foreign invasion. Otherwise, Koga Iga would not have survived the chaotic Warring States period - even if the daimyo had the military power of the village of Sanhei, he would not be able to stop the ninjas, especially the elite shinobi, from assassinating them all the time. Oda Nobunaga, who attacked Iga at the beginning, was assassinated by the ninjutsu of Iga's elite Shinobi in Honnoji and died, which eventually led to earth-shaking changes in the pattern of the entire Japanese Warring States, and only then did Toyotomi Hideyoshi unify the Japanese islands and Tokugawa Ieyasu Shinobu seized power.
Therefore, the elite Shangnin would not carry the pill of the self-destructing artifact of the Tricolor Divine Pill.
Considering the production cost, it is generally the middle ninja who will carry the three-color divine pill, and as for the upper ninja who has stepped into the top threshold, unless the potential for promotion is cut off, the three-color divine pill will not be carried.
Yun Qi shifted his gaze from the pill, and a series of lists instantly entered Yun Qi's eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but glow. (To be continued.) )
