At the turn of spring and summer, the impression is always unbearable humidity and heat.

The banks of the Yongchuan River basin, which feeds the land of Crescent Island, are abundant, so even in a northland such as Taizhou, this time point is almost not much different from the humid south.

Fog at night and early in the morning is a common occurrence at this point in time. If the sun isn't strong enough, reach out during the day, and the wet air will seem to be able to grab a handful of water.

The temperature is not high, but it is even more sleepy than in the middle of summer.

Excessive humidity makes it difficult to achieve perspiration to regulate body temperature, so if the quilt is thick at night, it will be difficult to sleep, and if the quilt is thin, it will be too cold at this time.

So at the turn of spring and summer, colds are common.

"Chirp—"

Especially those who are physically weak.

The tenacious willpower can't change the fact that Miss Doctor lacks exercise as a scholar, and according to the feedback of Mira and others who went to bed together, Wenwen's quiet Aya sleeping at night is actually very noisy.

Kicking the quilt and other childish things were said, which made her feel very shy because of her noble birth, but the Luo An girl herself who said this didn't care, and just laughed next to her.

The white-haired girl has always been a straightforward person, and because of this, although there are many high-class nobles from various countries in her social circle, she always gets along like ordinary friends.

In front of this Luo'an girl, they can put down the restrained armor called etiquette, they don't have to worry about their words and identity don't match and are kept away, and they can be an ordinary girl with peace of mind.

Laugh when you're happy and cry when you're unhappy.

The longer Henry and Mira travel together, the more they resemble each other.

They all have a common reassuring atmosphere, but the presence of the sage is an all-powerful sense of security, as long as you can see the tall back of this person in your vision, as long as you can hear his voice that is always smooth without emotion, you feel that no matter how dangerous the situation is, there is still a possibility of reversal.

Mira's straightforwardness brings another level of peace of mind that you don't have to be so inhibited, you don't need to be cautious everywhere in front of her, as if you are returning to your hometown to meet old friends, cordial and natural.

Even if many other elements are removed, the reassuring atmosphere alone is destined to cause people to involuntarily start gathering around these two people.

People who seek the same thing, regardless of the difference in country, region and cultural background, will eventually end up in the same place.

Words go back to square one.

The place where the group stayed was in the middle of Taizhou, a place called Anshang.

The concept of "state" in the land of the moon is similar to the concept of "province" in the Paderossi Empire, as a separate administrative district, which is generally managed by officials appointed by Shinkyo, who in turn report to Shinkyo regularly and pay taxes.

Similar pyramid structures abound within countries, regions, and organizations around the world, except that thousands of years of peace have made the Moon Nation much more developed than other countries.

The distinction between civil and military officials in the Land of the Moon is not very obvious, and culturally they are actually the same, but there are indeed distinctions due to different classes and duties. Because of the long period of peace, the status of the samurai and other warrior attendants was lower than that of the Chinese who ran the country.

Military attachés are responsible for maintaining the stability of the country, while civilian officials are responsible for managing the existence of the country's territories. In addition, another important group in the country of the moon is the Shinkyo Tenkaku Grand Academy, where Miss Aya, the doctor was born.

As the crystallization of thousands of years of wisdom in the entire Moon Country, the Tiange Academy, which covers an extremely large area, claims to have a collection of books that would be enough to fill a lake if all of them were moved. With 1,500 apprentices who take care of books every day to protect them from damage, it's no surprise that with a collection of books of this size, it is not surprising that someone from a seowon would become a think tank for the nation.

occupies such an important position, and the origins are basically nobles, but the people of the academy have no real power. They are researchers, they are scholars, many of them have decided to swim in the ocean of knowledge for the rest of their lives, and their eyes see something much longer.

It is precisely because of this that there is less friction between classes and no desire for power, so that these people can study and study without distraction.

There are three classes in the academy, and the newcomers are apprentices, who are responsible for taking care of the lives of their superiors and maintaining books. Those who have made a certain amount of academic achievement will be recognized as a bachelor, and those who have made extraordinary achievements, such as Aya, who are leaders in the industry, will be canonized by the royal family and become certified doctors.

There are several categories of PhDs in related fields, but the most important one is the Doctor of Land, which is related to national management.

Aya's Aya's astrological research is more like a part of the country's cultural heritage than that of the natural world, but there are actually many occasions when Dr. Hoshi's role is needed.

In Taizhou, for example, the governor in charge of management was mainly responsible for managing the territory, while the military attaché stationed in the local area was responsible for guarding the frontier.

But how should the territory be run? What crops should be planted in the soil and climate? What kind of livestock should be raised? These are the times when the Doctors come into play as a think tank.

Dr. Xing Yong, who is familiar with biology and geography, will make rounds of the territory, observe the sky, study animals and vegetation, and then submit a report.

Dr. Soil surveyed the composition of workers and peasants in the population, and according to Dr. Xingyong's suggestion, planned the division of labor within the territory.

If Dr. Xing Yong judged that there would be a vein here, then he planned this area as a mining area, and if the land here was suitable for growing a particular crop, then planned this area as an agricultural area.

After that, the roads and urban areas are planned, and with their abundant knowledge, the territory is planned to be the most efficient mode of operation.

The Land of the Moon is plagued by disasters and volcanic earthquakes, and even the Yongchuan River, which is the mother river, floods from time to time. The cost of making mistakes here is too high, so they know the importance of knowledge very clearly.

This is also the reason why Aya, even though she has no real power, is highly respected when she walks within this country.

The place she had experienced before was still a barbarian land on the frontier, and when she entered Taizhou, Miss Doctor, who revealed her identity, was saluted by someone almost as soon as she went to the street in this kind of place directly under Xinjing.

Whether it is a commoner or an aristocrat, anyone who sees her doctor's robe that has been somewhat torn during the journey will stop and express respect and gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.

The noble samurai of the Qingtian family who came from the northern domain of Qingzhi Town were fine to the common people, but the noble samurai of Taizhou would probably despise them as "country samurai".

In fact, on the day of entering Taizhou, when he met a group of sergeants in civilian clothes on the road, he whispered in a disdainful tone, "Yi Na Ka Qi Zuku" - meaning "country nobles".

The status of a samurai on horseback can make civilians bow their heads and salute, but the Taizhou samurai, who are prosperous provinces and directly under Xinjing, have an instinctive contempt in them.

But with a Dr. Star on the team, it's different.

As the second only to the imperial family in this country, he has almost the same level of prestige as the important ministers of the court, and if he shows disrespect to the doctor as a samurai, he will inevitably be spurned by his own relatives and those of the same class.

Forgetting one's own traditions, not being grateful, and despising one's roots. Similar behavior, even if it is only verbal, can be despicable.

How respectable the existence of the doctor is, after officially entering Taizhou, it is really an eye-opener for outsiders like Henry.

It's just that Aya herself doesn't seem to be very interested in this kind of thing, and she even seems to be a little scared, so she has been hiding behind Mira and Kaleva. Let Sakura next to her look with a complicated expression.

"My side is basically a profession that is spurned, but you are even afraid of the respect of others?"

All in all, after a series of episodes, including the separation from the Yi people, the half-numbered team continued south to the county seat of Anshang.

The size of the county town is not small, about three times larger than Qingzhi Town, but the degree of prosperity is not as good as that of Qingzhi, which is brilliant in the bamboo trade.

Because agriculture is the main area here, and the north-south business is mainly through waterways with lower costs and larger carrying capacity, the trade by land route is not very developed, and the scale of the related industries is naturally not very large.

There are inns, but basically the business seems to be barely able to get by.

Other related eateries and utensils shops are similar, and locals occasionally frequent, but because they are not in the Golden Mile, there is no boom in business.

Therefore, when a group of more than 50 people entered Anshang County with a team of more than 50 people dressed gorgeously with baggage, a lot of money and material needs at a glance, they didn't have to look for it themselves, and many shopkeepers and men who were bright-eyed immediately ran to the front of the team, risking the risk of civilians offending the nobles and being killed, and took the initiative to introduce and invite them to their own stores.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are sure, and an inn that took the initiative finally won the favor of the group. The samurai were frugal and simple, so they didn't have too high requirements for their daily life, but for the purpose of taking care of the women in the team and his own young master, Narumi finally chose a relatively large inn with relatively clean rooms.

It's just that because of the abnormal weather at the turn of spring and summer, Aya still accidentally catches a cold after a night. And after learning that it was a college doctor who was sick, the shopkeeper knelt down and kowtowed to apologize, which more or less made a stranger like Mira once again deeply appreciate the strict hierarchy of this country.

However, Aya is not a bully character, as Dr. Xingyong, although she is not as good at herbs as the imperial doctor, she also knows some ways to heal diseases. Therefore, after asking the owner of the shop where the herb shop was, he joined Mira, Lulu, and Sakura, and the four women went out into the street together on the second day.

A lot of materials were consumed along the way, and after the rest was given to Temulun and the others, they had to spend some time refilling them.

If there is no preparation in advance, it will take at least two or three days to mobilize and replenish the materials used for about 50 people.

In addition, armor that had been temporarily repaired after damage needed to be formally repaired, weapons that had been dulled by combat needed to be re-polished, and arrows needed to be replaced. A series of tasks needed to be completed, and after discussing with Yajiro and Henry, Narumi decided to stay in Ansho Prefecture for about two weeks.

Recuperate, and then embark on the road south again.
