Chapter 60: Return to the City of Water
The day passed quickly
Mian Ma and Terumi got off the boat in the water capital, and since they met the ghost shark on the road this time, there was naturally no need to go to Wuyin Village.
As soon as they got off the boat, the two of them looked at the same prosperous wharf as 3 years ago, and the still lively commercial street, and they all felt like a world away.
Terumi took a closer look at the coastal town and said in surprise:
"Isn't there any impact on our Water Country's population introduction plan here?"
The latter was attacking the roasted flower branches he bought on the commercial street at this time, and when he heard Terumi's question, he replied casually:
"That guy from Sanqiao is not stupid, but what we give us are those hungry people who can't survive, and these golden roosters that make money for him won't give it to us."
When she heard "hungry people", Terumi frowned slightly, and smiled self-deprecatingly:
"That's good for us, people who are stable in the country of waves won't have such a strong sense of belonging to the country of water."
She silently added in her heart:
[Just like me now, the purpose of returning to my homeland is only to make this place a part of the Land of Waves, not to change the Land of Water.] ]
Mian Ma threw away the bamboo sticks, raised his eyes to look at Terumi with an emotional face, and asked with a smile, "Do you still want to cross the residential area?" ”
Hearing Mian Ma's question, she remembered the experience of Ma taking herself through the alley three years ago, and glanced at Ma Ma angrily:
"I was so stupid at the time, how could you, an old fox, keep walking to a dead end, it's all a routine!"
Mian Ma smiled and took Zhao Meiming's hand: "How can you become my shape without these routines, let's go, revisit the old place." ”
After speaking, he pulled Zhao Meiming and randomly picked an alley and plunged into it.
The streets and houses around you are not significantly different from those you did three years ago. As the two of them slowly went deeper, the houses inside looked like they had been uninhabited for a long time.
Terumi pointed to those areas and asked in an affirmative tone:
"Everyone here has gone to the Land of Waves, right? They must be doing well! ”
He replied with a smile:
"Minister of Ninja, we have taken in more than 100,000 people from the islands of the Water Country in the past three years. More than 2,000 people died in these years, and more than 3,000 newborns, and if it weren't for your plan to accept the population of the Water Country, these people would have died.
"But now, they have their own jobs in Poland, their children have the right to education, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they all have their own hopes for the future."
Terumi naturally knew this, but combined with the empty house in front of her, listening to the oral narration of Mianma, the satisfaction in her heart suddenly arose.
When Mian Ma narrated, he also felt a little emotional:
[At that time, I was just thinking about painting cakes, but I didn't expect that time had passed, and we really did it.] Your efforts over the years have not been in vain. ]
In the past few years, the affairs of the water country have been personally inquired about and handled by Terumi Ming, and it can be said that the development and growth of the country of waves is inseparable from Terumi Ming's dedication to promoting the water country immigration plan. Continuously send people to the country of waves, so that the construction of the country of waves will not be interrupted due to lack of people.
Suddenly, the face numb felt a warmth in his back, and Terumi's gentle but firm voice came from his ears:
"Thank you! Taking me away from here taught me so many truths and taught me how to change this country with action.
"I will remove all obstacles from the Land of Water, and let this place belong to the Land of Waves!"
Now she firmly believes that only when the country of water becomes part of the country of waves, the future of the people of the two countries will be better.
The face is numb and smiles:
[The mission that was released that year may be the biggest harvest of that trip.] ]
Mian Ma turned his back, pulled her hair for her, and hugged her into his arms. After the two of them warmed up for a while, they walked out of the residential area with a clenched hand and arrived at a post station where they could rent carriages.
The two got into the canopy, and the middle-aged coachman skillfully drove the horses. The two glanced at each other and smiled heartily.
Terumi suddenly thought of something, and asked the middle-aged man who was driving the car with great interest:
"Uncle, what do you think of ninjas?"
Hearing Terumi Ming's question, Mi Ma immediately remembered the scene from three years ago, and then glanced at Terumi with a smile.
However, the middle-aged coachman's back stiffened, and he peeked back, and after confirming that the two were not wearing forehead guards, he lowered his voice and said:
"Two adults, it's better not to discuss ninjas in the land of water, those who kill a thousand knives are all ruthless."
Then he sighed:
"Alas, it's better to be in the country of waves next door, I heard that many of us have gone to the country of waves, if it weren't for the three bridges that killed a thousand knives and didn't let us go, we would have left a long time ago."
The corners of Terumi's mouth rose slightly, and she asked again: "Uncle, what do you think of the country of waves?" ”
When the middle-aged coachman heard this question, he suddenly came to his senses:
"To say that the Daimyo of the Land of Waves is such a good person! Those of us who don't have a job and can't eat enough can apply to go to the country of waves, and we regularly recruit people at the docks every month, and we hear from those friends who come back from the country of waves to visit, it is really a paradise. ”
The coachman licked the corners of his mouth, and continued:
"It is said that people who go there do not have to worry about eating and drinking, and they can also earn a lot of money by working, and every family has surplus food, and all kinds of jobs are chosen by themselves."
Terumi, who was originally confined in the carriage, subconsciously straightened up, but hit her head on the canopy and hurriedly sat down in pain.
It's no wonder that she overreacted, she has been involved in the development of the country of waves in the past few years, and it is no wonder that hearing this uncle's simple praise, it is no wonder that she got a little carried away.
Miaoma rubbed the back of her head distressedly, Terumi felt Miaoma's warm palm, and smiled at him secretly, her face full of a sense of accomplishment. It's a great feeling to talk about your exploits from a stranger!
A moment later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Mihashi Mansion along the familiar road.
Because of the many huge transactions with the face hemp in recent years, Mitsuhashi's status in the land of water has been rising, and now Mitsuhashi is already the first person under the daimyo, and he is also in charge of real power.
The guard at the door looked at the two people who jumped out of the carriage one after another, and respectfully welcomed them in. This time, Mitsuhashi met them in the reception room.
"Feng-kun, long time no see, how are you lately?"
Mitsuhashi looked at the two people who walked in, with a happy face.
As a high-level person who has close ties with the country of waves, he naturally investigates the people who visited three years ago and learns that the status of Rukawa Kaede in the country of waves is not low.
A smile on his face:
"Mitsuhashi-sama hasn't seen you for a long time, looking at the adult's anger, I've definitely been comfortable recently, it's not like I still have to go back and forth."
Mitsuhashi laughed, the fat on his face trembled, and he waved his hand. After a few more polite words, the two of them said. Mitsuhashi put on a serious look:
"Is Feng-kun here for the sake of the fog this time?"
