Goro, or the ships of the Sango Palace, soon arrived at Narukami Island.

"The changes on Narukami Island have been getting faster and faster in recent years." Gorou sighed, "Especially around Inazuma Castle, I remember that three years ago it was an ordinary village, with low houses and good food, but the living environment was very ordinary. ”

"Now the people here have also been influenced by Inazuma Castle, and houses made of stone and wood have become popular."

"It is said that it was because the wood and thatch houses caused a lot of pressure on the fire extinguishing team that the houses made of stone and wood gradually became popular in Inazuma Castle, and now it is said that houses made of stone, steel, and fire-resistant precious wood are even more popular in Inazuma Inner Castle." The military general Qiben who answered on the side said.

"It is said that the shogunate and the Tenryo government have been secretly renovating the house like that for a long time, which is why there has not been a single large-scale fire in the shogunate in the past hundred years."

"We don't have that demand on Watatsumi Island, and we rarely have fires there." Gorou scratched his head and said.

"I really envy your Watatsumi Island." General Qimoto said, "My family caught fire five years ago, and a third of the wealth accumulated by the family for seven generations was burned down in one fell swoop. ”

The general shook his head, "It's okay for me, but some of the intentions are to burn away the family heritage accumulated over several generations." ”

Now Gorou really understands these people's urgent need for stone houses.

After all, it costs a lot of money to build a stone house, at most it is a samurai's salary for a few years, and a larger house is a big one, but once it catches fire, the loss is not so much.

Stone houses can be a good way to protect personal and family assets and reduce losses.

Although the fireproof technology of the wooden houses before Inazuma was very good, the price of the tree paint that was applied to the houses to prevent fire was also surprisingly expensive, and the nobles of the past generations could not afford to use it.

And there is a limit to the fire resistance of this kind of tree paint, once it encounters a real fire, this thing will not be used.

The stone is obviously much better, natural non-combustible, and ordinary fires simply can't burn.

Soon, the men counted the quantity and quality of the tribute, and returned the few slightly flawed coral pearls to Watatsumi Island.

"Then I'll take my leave." General Banner nodded at General Goro and took his leave.

He was required to escort the tributes into the shogunate's warehouses, as well as to count the tributes paid from other regions during the season.

Except for some areas that really don't have any special products, such as Kogan Island, other famous areas with special products need to pay tribute to the shogunate.

However, Watatsumi Island, which pays tribute once a year, has the highest quality and quantity each time.

For example, Jiren Island pays tribute every year to one or two new agricultural affairs and one or two Inazuma Haven studies, while Seirai Island pays tribute every year to a large number of high-quality medicines that have been processed.

After the tribute was paid, most of the supplies were actually distributed by the shogunate.

For example, the Coral Pearl of Watatsumi Island is basically something that every samurai will come into contact with, because the reward of this Coral Pearl is a position, and only a small part of the reward is an individual.

And most of those high-quality medicines are rewarded to Inazuma high-level combat power above the flag generals.

The next step is to go through the process, pay tribute, approve the general, meet, encourage, reward, and send off a set of processes.

"It's really tiring." Even Gorou, who is of the youkai bloodline, feels physically and mentally exhausted, "And the pressure on Raiden Shogun is so great..."

"I really don't know how Sangonomiya-sama handles it."

"But I guess nothing went wrong, and I'm finally able to deal with Sango-sama."

"Hmm~ The next thing is some relationships that need to be moved, let me see... Who are they... First of all, the three commissions..."

······

"I didn't expect that there would be a pearl king among the coral pearls this year." Blade Lian Ling Yi was amazed and played with a fist-sized round coral pearl in his hand.

Then reluctantly returned it to Raiden Shogun, "Such a big pearl is probably carefully bred by a monster-level mirage demon for twenty years." ”

The Mirage Demon is a kind of monster that is a specialty of the Inazuma Watatsumi Island area.,Like the owner of the sea, it's a monster that was served by the Shuyun Shrine.。

Unlike the kaibo, a monster that is about to become extinct like a giant beast in the sea, there are actually quite a lot of descendants of the mirage demon, and they are the pearl shells that are scattered all over Watatsumi Island and have extremely high requirements for the water quality of Watatsumi Island.

Pearl shells are eight-year-old creatures that generally only have a lifespan of eight years, and they can give birth to coral pearls from the second year of birth.

Such pearls are divided into March beads and May beads.

It is a major supplier of raw materials for the Coral Palace skincare industry.

Next up is the annual pearl, which already has a magical (contains water element) and is a valuable commodity that can be sold to tourists visiting Watatsumi Island.

After that, there are three-year, five-year, and seven-year beads.

Among them, the three-year beads and five-year beads are important commodities for export, and some of the five-year beads in good condition and most of the seven-year beads in good condition are tributes to the Inazuma shogunate.

Of course, these high-aged deformed pearls will not be wasted and will be sent to skincare factories to make high-end skincare products.

"Mirage, that's a tough monster." Raiden Shogun sighed with emotion, "Back then, Sasayuri and Chiyo were in charge of the family that defeated several mirage demons..."

"It is said that if the mirage demon becomes a big monster, it has the ability to absorb wishes and beliefs, I don't know if it's true." Blade Lian Ling Yi asked curiously.

Before the birth of Blade Lian Lingyi, there were no big monsters in the Mirage Demon Clan, and even now, the Mirage Demon Clan only had high-level monsters.

As for the high-level monster-level mirage demon, basically only one orb will be cultivated, so even the general will not fight those orbs that the guys practice with their lives.

Of course, after the death of these mirage demons, they will consciously pay tribute to their patron protector, the Coral Palace, and the Sango Palace will use some of it as a ritual weapon, and the rest will be paid tribute to the Inazuma shogunate.

However, the mirage demons rarely die, and the number is very small, basically decades or even hundreds of years before paying tribute to the shogunate.

"It's true." Raiden Shogun confirmed Blade Ling Yi's statement, "Those mirage demons will use mirage and wish power to jointly construct the illusion that the wisher expects, and not long after the Narujin Taisha Shrine was established, in the era when no one restrained the monsters, many people will be drowned in their own illusion by the mirage demons." ”

"It was Oropas who killed the strongest of the Mirage Demon Clan back then, and then the Sangomon Palace got inspiration from the polyps, and finally succeeded in defeating the Mirage Demon Clan."
