In the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, and neither the Tokugawa family in Edo nor the Takeda family in Chiba have made any movement, and it seems that the entire Fuso hegemony has nothing to do with the two families.

As the struggle for hegemony became more and more intense, a large number of refugees began to appear in Fuso, and many ordinary Fuso people began to pour into Edo and Chiba.

At a time when almost all of Fuso was in turmoil, only Edo and Chiba were still at peace, and they were like two paradises away from the war, and anyone who could enter them could escape the war and strife outside.

At first, it was just an influx of refugees from all over the surrounding areas, but after the whole country was plunged into war, a large number of refugees began to travel thousands of miles to the two places, just to find a place to live and escape the turmoil that swept through the entire Fuso Decree State.

As a large number of refugees began to pour in, the Tokugawa and Takeda families began to come under great pressure, and the burden on both families became heavier and heavier as more and more refugees grew.

Tokugawa Iehiko first ordered the establishment of checkpoints throughout Kyoto outside the river to control the continuous influx of refugees, and to reduce the burden that the Tokugawa family had to bear in order to relieve the influx of refugees.

When Tokugawa Iehiko set up a roadcar, the Takeda family did not set up a roadblock, which also caused more refugees to start pouring into the Chiba area, and soon the Chiba area became overcrowded.

When Koji Takeda got the report, he quickly found Lucius to discuss with him: "Your Highness, now that there are more and more refugees pouring into Chiba, there is no way to control it, and the influx of a large number of refugees is also accompanied by bandits and plagues, and now the burden of Chiba is too heavy, do you think we are also like the Tokugawa family, and start to set up roadblocks?"

Hearing this, Lucius lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then muttered, "The influx of so many refugees is indeed a great burden. However, the reason for the chaos is not here, the reason for the chaos is that you didn't send a special person to sort it out, which will lead to the current chaotic situation. ”

Without waiting for Koji Takeda to speak, Lucius continued: "Setting up roadblocks is not the safest way, the Tokugawa family set up roadblocks for two purposes, the first is to prevent more refugees from pouring in and increasing their own burden, and the second is to create some trouble for us and increase our burden. ”

Hearing this, Koji Takeda couldn't help but interject: "Your Highness, what should we do now? Will it continue to be flooded by those refugees? This will only make Chiba's burden heavier and heavier." ”

Lucius smiled and shook his head, "No." You still don't understand what I mean, if you set up a roadblock now, it will only backfire, and it will not solve the problems you are facing now, the so-called blockage is better than sparse, you must know that the place in Chiba itself is much bigger than Kyoto and Edo, so you don't actually have to worry about the influx of refugees. ”

Seeing that Koji Takeda seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Lucius continued: "To put it simply. Instead of setting up roadblocks to stop the influx of refugees, you should send some people who are good at handling local government affairs and let them go around to guide these refugees. Refugees were given some land to demarcate their places of residence, and then they were given some benefits in the name of the emperor. ”

"I'm sure that if you do that, there will soon be riots everywhere because of the influx of refugees. Soon it will be suppressed, and those refugees will be to you, to the entire Takeda family. And your Emperor Xià return to the heart, the people's will is very important. ”

Takeda Koji hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but he couldn't help but say: "But Your Highness, in that case, it will cost a lot of Chiba's resources, and consuming too many resources will put us at a disadvantage when we start a war with the Tokugawa family in the future, you must know that it is difficult to hoard resources now." ”

Hearing this, Lucius couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "Hehe, you really don't understand, people are also a resource, besides, won't you borrow food and other materials from Oda and Su I?"

"But ......" Koji Takeda actually thought about secondment, but he was afraid that Oda and Su I would not be willing, and when he heard Lucius mention it, he wanted Lucius to open his mouth for secondment.

Lucius naturally saw his thoughts, smiled and said: "Okay, I'll help you open the secondment, just take advantage of this opportunity, I can also look at the current thoughts of Oda and Su I, and see if they already have different hearts, if they have different hearts, hehe, I don't mind solving them first." ”

Although Lucius said this with a smile, there was a chilling feeling in Takeda Koji's ears, which made him frightened.

In fact, in the past nearly a year, Koji Takeda has also had a general understanding of the strength of Lucius, until he has very powerful means, and the elusive people around him alone can be said to have the strength to surpass the ghost warriors, which is simply an unimaginable force.

Coupled with those mechanical warriors in the hands of Lucius, it can be said that after nearly a year of understanding, the little careful thinking that originally existed has been completely gone.

That's why he even came to Lecius to discuss the matter of dealing with refugees, because he was worried that some of his actions would disobey Lucius's intentions.

Now hearing that Lucius is going to test Oda Nobumitsu and Soga Inamo, Takeda Koji has both joy in his heart, and at the same time feels a trace of apprehension, as well as the kind of rabbit death fox sadness, it can be said that at this moment Takeda Koji felt a wave of confusion and contradiction in his heart, and the complicated feelings made him a little trance.

Until Lucius spoke again to wake him up: "You go back first, remember to arrange for the person who is good at handling local political affairs, he must be the kind of pragmatic person to deal with the affairs of the refugees, and that person must not be a treacherous guy, otherwise it may make things worse." ”

Hearing this, Koji Takeda hurriedly agreed, and it was a solemn promise, and he didn't dare to have any disobedience, but he didn't leave immediately, and he was still a little worried about the material.

Lu Xius didn't wait for Takeda Koji to speak, he waved his hand directly and continued: "You don't have to worry about the materials, I will let Oda Nobumitsu and Soga Inamo handle it well, I believe that as long as they are not stupid, they will send the materials soon, and I will send someone to receive them, you don't have to ask." ”

Later, in the West, after the research of those alchemists, it finally formed the gunpowder that is now popular in the West, and in the final analysis, gunpowder did originate from the East.

Thinking of this, Bai Meng couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart: Could it be that in the East, there are also guys who specialize in muskets and artillery?

Seeing Bai Meng's face full of doubts, Pei Yan seemed to guess what he was thinking, so he smiled mysteriously and said: "Hehe, in fact, you are right, but in the East, those people are not called mechanics, they usually integrate the formations of the East into the machinery, so they are called mechanics." ”

Bai Meng can be said to be shocked, he completely ignored this point, originally thought that under the Eastern civilization, it was impossible to understand what was produced under the Western civilization.

But at this moment, Bai Meng remembered that the founder of the Sanctuary had visited the East, and if that was the case, how could there be no mechanical existence in the East?

Pei Yan glanced at Bai Meng, who was full of shock, smiled and said: "The masters of the East have always been low-key, so the masters of the East are very mysterious, how can you see them casually? Even I, I was just lucky to accompany the Second Sage, and I saw a master many years ago. ”

When he spoke, a kind of arrogance appeared on Pei Yan's face, as if to show Bai Meng that he was the most trusted person of the Second Sage, and Bai Meng was just occasionally favored.

Bai Meng didn't care about Pei Yan's arrogance, he just cared about it now, where were those Eastern Organ Masters, where were they? He felt that if he got the help of the Organ Masters, he would definitely be able to defeat Lu Sius, and even fight against Lu Sius head-on.

Pei Yan looked at Bai Meng stunned there, thinking that the other party had been shocked by himself, so he smiled and said, "Brother Bai Meng, in fact, if you really want to meet the mechanic, now is a chance." ”

"What?" Bai Meng suddenly came to his senses, looked at Pei Yan, who patted him on the shoulder and called his brother affectionately, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

Rather excitedly, he cautiously asked, "Lord Pei Yan, do you mean that we are on a mission this time, and there is a mechanic with us?"

Pei Yan didn't say it explicitly, but the smile on his face was already an acknowledgement, and he stroked his beard and said: "Bai Meng, you don't have to worry, since that person is your enemy, and it will affect the plan of the second saint, naturally you can't continue to keep it, don't worry, I will sue the master of the sù organ to make a move." ”

Bai Meng approached with excitement on his face, and whispered to Pei Yan, "Master Pei, I, can I meet that organ master?" ”

Pei Yan sighed and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Brother Baimeng, it's not that I'm not kind, it's that I can't see that master, I can only tell him what I need him to do, he will naturally take action, and other things, even if I am in charge of this task, it is impossible to see it." ”

Bai Meng felt more and more that the so-called organ masters in the East were very mysterious, but after seeing the Founder's Sacred Domain, Bai Meng would not be much surprised.

But on the surface, he still showed a very regretful look, and thanked Pei Yan again and again: "Master Pei, you, you are really my reborn parents, if you help me avenge this revenge, I will definitely obey your arrangements in everything in the future, and fully cooperate with you to complete the task given by the two saints." ”

Pei Yan said with a smile: "Hehe, it's easy to say, it depends on the news from the master of the organ, so Brother Baimeng, don't be in a hurry to promise me or anything, we are all doing things for the two saints, just do our part." (To be continued......)
