527 Episode 526: In the Garden of Early Fall

Side: a long time ago

Summer was over when I realized it. I feel more sensitive than the original world that the changing seasons are in this era. Because food changes.

Summer vegetables are over, watermelons and melons are over. I also had a few times of McWauri, which is arguably the melon of this era, because I received it as a gift. Compared to melon, it's not sweet enough, but that one was delicious.

It is also fun to make various things to preserve summer vegetables whenever possible, such as pickled cucumbers and dried tomatoes in tomato sauce.

Speaking of which, a letter came to Shinsu from Yamako that he had had milk tea in the palace.

Everyone seemed happy, and it also seemed to say that drinking milk was going to be popular.

I advised Mr. Yamako to be careful because he is anxious about the freshness of the milk. Is everything okay? But well, people in this day and age aren't stupid, and I'm sure your stomach won't be as delicate as Japan in the original world, so you'll be fine.

"Decommissioning is generally going well."

"Roughly?"

"If you can't take some money, someone told you not to go into your land."

This day is the end of a garden field with finished summer vegetables. Autumn vegetables and so on are still available, but winter vegetables are to be planted after summer vegetables.

While doing such work, I have received reports from Elle of the removal of the post between Tsingzhou, Naguno, Tsushima, Hota, and Krabby, which I finally started the other day.

People in trouble are everywhere. This is a time of self-responsibility because there is no safety net by the administration. Although it is a natural reaction.

However, we all rooted for the formal territory. What is causing this weird noise is the inhabitants who were otherwise taking their own money.

I won't guarantee that much, and if I can't explain and pay attention properly, I'll have to punish you.

"You should officially take over the Oda family."

"The same opinion seems to be coming from some of the heavy ministers. If we're gonna get this far, we'd better clarify our ownership."

At this rate, it's going to be the Oda family's job to restore the rights and authority that were scattered so that the court and the shogunate can cut and sell it. The road is officially under the control of the Oda family, and the Oda family would also be obliged to maintain it.

Heavy ministers and others are getting used to the current way of doing things, and I'm glad that we're thinking about it before we give any advice.

I have a good reputation for removing customs posts. Especially the merchant's reaction is good. Because they were the ones who were paying the most money at the precinct, and they were only allowed to multiply the selling price for it.

It would not be far off on the day when the repeal section would become one area.

"What happened to the new station?

"You have placed people as temporary posts. The gel we were using in the Three Rivers came back, so we turned the gel into a temporary place of detention."

A new post was established between the area where the post was abolished and the other areas. This is a place where people are tested instead of taking taxes.

It's something I'd like to do throughout Oda territory, but there are plenty of enclaves in Migawa and Mino, and people's territories need to be negotiated. It was decided to set up a post managed by the Oda family in the name of protecting the area where the post had been removed.

There are no fine buildings or walls or fences that people can't get out of. But last year's water damage and an incident at the main temple brought back Gel, who was offering Migawa as a makeshift home for those who lost their homes.

They used it as a garrison for the station. Gel can snow a rainstorm and move quickly. Perfect for a temporary location.

All you have to do for the moment is try and wash out the problem.

"Ketty is beautiful. Are you all right?

"No problem."

And Ketty is currently visiting Inaya Castle. Together with a thousand and five hundred escorts led by Mr. Seijia. I have a few days to check up in Mino.

The escort is Katsuya again. It looks like your wife's tuberculosis is perfectly better, and she doesn't have to worry about betraying us, especially Ketty, who seems to be doing her a favor.

After that, I also accompanied Mr. Takikagawa and Mr. Takigawa to celebrate the ceremony.

"Mino is changing, too."

It may have changed surprisingly when it came to Mr. Dozo. Summer fireworks had come to see me with my wives and my son Yoshiryu, and the way they ruled changed.

To be honest, he wasn't a very good governor. You had a bad reputation. However, we are steadily executing what we advised, and Inoguchi, the castle town of Inaya Mountain Castle, is busy in business with Ozhang.

Ogaki Castle to the west and Inaya Mountain Castle to the north from Ozhang. These two are becoming bases that economically drive the whole of Minoo.

When I washed my hands and feet and entered the mansion after the work on the field was done, the son of the cobbler was here. His name is Yosuke. Yosuke Tamaya. Everyone tells me he's the young master of Tamaya.

"Young master, what happened?

I call her my young husband. Basically, you're not calling the older ones out, are you? Except for those who are close to celebration or old or younger.

"Ha, I got a letter from Osaka"

This Yosuke is staying at the Oda family's deputy mansion in Krabby River, where he does virtually Krabby River's deputy work. Whether or not the collector is with us, the collector is in charge of our commerce in general, so he makes a fine difference in the Krabby River.

I'm still in my early twenties. Besides, I was confused that my newcomer self was the difference between the Krabs River, etc., but there's no one else who can understand the commerce and entrust the Krabs River to me.

Mr. Ohashi seems to be able to do something, but he's busy on Tsushima. Everyone else who understands business and can be left to it is busy.

"Did you see what this was about?

"No, but apart from that, my father also came to me with a sentence, so the approximate content..."

When I gave Elle the letter I read the whole way to show her, I called out to Yosuke.

The contents are an update that Sakami is thinking about building a Nanban ship. The same information was also notified the other day by Iga, who is asking us to gather information in Kichi, and we have been aware of it for a long time because we have over-technology.

Though, the information from Otomo is also quick. I guess you understand this is important.

"Is it something you can build?

"Hmm. The basic structure is different, isn't it, the white men's ships? I wonder if anyone knows the structure, or if there's a drawing or something, it'll take ten years."

It was written in a letter asking me to tell you how long it can be built from Osaka. If they start trading in front of themselves, things will change. I guess I care.

Sounds like Yoshisuke's been a little worried that our rights will be taken. I don't have a barn here because I'm going to Mino for Ketty. You asked for a commercial related inspection, didn't you?

"Money won't last until we can build a ship. And even if we have a ship, we can't have a deal. Even though the merchants of Sakai are shrinking..."

Elle looked at the writ and replied with a sigh. It says on my face that it's reckless. You don't have to tell me.

"So you're saying it's not a threat?

"Right. It's not a threat, but it's a problem. Since it will affect the whole of Kichinai if it becomes confused and exhausted any more. That's what makes it a new spark, and there's gonna be a fight... We must also consider the possibility of getting involved."

Yosuke is a little horrified to understand that the construction of the Nanban ship is almost impossible as it stands, but Elle's expression is not fragrant.

Should it be rotten or saddled? That's no different than being an important town in Kichinai. The turmoil would spill over to various places as well as the economy.

But living as a reality, not history, doesn't work. Why is Honshoji on your side and Sakami on your side?

There are a lot more people in Krabby River, and it seems to be tough for Komaya and Yosuke. Maybe it's time to call in Mirei and Emile, who we plan to entrust to us, as we can do our own mansion in Krabby River.
