Side: a long time ago
"It's a cold. Be at rest today."
The day after there was a feast to welcome Takeda's messenger, I was facing Maida in an unexpected fashion, who did not attend the feast. Actually, Maida, who woke up in the morning, seemed to be ill, and I came with Ketty abruptly to see her at Chingzhou Castle.
Oddly enough, the other day Yoshiro Saito's son Yoshitaro, Kitaro, caught a cold, which seems to have turned out to be the result of starting to check on visitors in the morning as well at Tsingzhou Castle.
"Sorry for the inconvenience. But there's no such thing as a cold."
Thank you. You haven't been well for a few days. He was forced to travel because of his role, though.
Besides, it looks like he was trying to get home soon enough today, and he's going to leave like this.
"Why don't you take the day off? Even this time, it is more difficult to feel ill at home on the way home."
He shook his head when he turned his gaze to Ketty. It's cold winter weather outside. If you get pneumonia and it gets worse, even adults don't know what happens.
I had no choice but to convince him.
As a matter of fact, their aim, the cooperation against Imagawa, has not been obtained. He doesn't even seem to be talking about going into the feast last night, and he's going to go back and put it back out once and for all without making any extra negotiations.
I know you really want some kind of cooperation, but Takeda and Oda aren't that close or trustworthy at the moment.
I guess I'm just going to make a friendship this time and talk to Shingen about the future.
"Right. You can rest today if you want."
"Now the river is moving. I'm not saying such a long story."
When I stopped, other messengers tuned in to it, but Maida said she couldn't go home. Well, more than I couldn't attach cooperation, I have to get home early and take care of it.
Thank you. They have a lot of openness in their perception of Oda and their perception of the battle against Imawa. He hasn't thought that seriously, except for Maida, but Maida seems to be thinking seriously.
"Then I should let you know I'll be late in my sentence. You told me to rest."
In the end, one of the older envoys came up with a compromise, and the envoy's line of policy came together.
"I can't, Lord Maida, but would you like me to show you some of the other messengers around Chingzhou? If you have time, Tsushima and Hota are also recommended."
All the messengers look horrible to Maida, who coughs up and falls asleep with you. If it's them, you're just satisfied with the deepening of your friendship. Because of this, I would recommend it even for Oozawa sightseeing.
"Good morning. I wanted to see the ocean if I wanted to."
"Is it the sea? Hot fields would be nice."
Maida is not in a very good mood, but all the other messengers were delighted. I don't know if it's a simple interest, or if I want to gauge the power of Oda, but my stay has been extended for a day. I want to deepen my friendship.
I also granted permission to Shinsu once, but the permission was granted without any particular problems, and the guide was set to do so by me.
We should also think about winning both sides, rather than knowing what the feud between Imawa and Takeda will be. If Takeda wins, he will likely fight Takeda around the Far River.
It won't hurt to show off the power of Oda while we deepen our friendship from now on.
"It's El. Go ahead and get to know him."
"Is that Otsuchi? The wisdom is in full swing. The innkeeper let go and praised you."
"Thank you"
I joined Elle on my way to Hot Field with all the messengers, but all the messengers were surprised by the way the Japanese looked apart but mouthed about the Elle rumors.
A lot of rumors are calling for rumors, aren't they? It is quite widespread that it was Elle's measures to put pressure on the traitors who left the Ise Guardian in carrying gold cannons and to prepare them in advance in the battle against the main certificate temple.
But that's the Takeda family. I'd like to learn to show a certain respect for the competent.
"But Ozhang has a good path."
Keep moving to the hot field, but the road on the road is at least seldom convex that is likely to be a water hoist. From Nagorno, the hot fields have not yet been able to develop massive roads, but they have already made minimal improvements such as filling water reservoirs.
All the messengers are surprised by that path. Somehow it feels like I know what Kofi's way is.
"There are a lot of travelers around here, because it's hard if you don't have a good road because Qingzhou and Hotfields are also places where different items come and go"
Travelers and horseback loans come and go on the road, and there are only a few O8 cars running. We've been putting bridges on the river around here for a while, so depending on the weather, we can use the O8.
Industrial village-related iron ore and cokes are basically riverboats, but if it's a small load, horse borrowing is also active, and some horse borrowers started using O8 cars these days.
The industrial village is also made of artisanal towns outside, and production is rising daily. Iron is produced in industrial villages, but timber and leather are bought and collected from outside at the moment. Lots of luggage to carry.
"Whoa, is this the sea?"
Arriving in the hot fields, the messengers voiced their joy when they saw the blue sea in the distance. I guess I'll never see it in my life in Kofi or Shinano.
"How spacious. And blue..."
Hot fields are also very busy towards the end of the year, and many ships can be seen in the sea. Previously, the raw materials in industrial villages had been reloaded in hot fields, but most of them have now been moved to the Krabby River, which has ample port facilities.
I didn't move everything, but there's a limit to it being a hot field because of the port capability, right? As I mentioned earlier, there are many other items to industrial villages and loads to Qingzhou and Naguno.
With more luggage that way, Hota inevitably focused on Krabby River as the raw material for the industrial village.
"It's really salty."
"This salt is not worth it."
When I bring all the messengers to the coast, I'm licking the sea water to make sure. There were pictures and TV's that said it was the original world. No one will have just seen the ocean, but many people in this world have never seen it, even if they have heard of it in rumors.
Ozhang has an ocean and I envy him. I don't mean to say it, but I was going to hear that voice.
"Here you go. It's our tea."
When I took the messengers straight to Hota Shrine, I decided to take a break at Hota's mansion.
It is a treat with tea to all the messengers bewildered by the chairs and tables they see for the first time. You're all staring at Cindy making tea, who's entrusting Hot Field with it.
I guess foreign-style looks are rare. I guess tea and teapots are rare.
"Ozhang is rich."
Warm tea is delicious in cold winters. All the messengers who spoke of their first tea and became silent for a while, but one messenger leaked his pomposity and authenticity.
"We're trying to be rich. From samurai and monks to the people, we're all working together."
As has been said in the Three Rivers, quite a few people simply think that Ozhang is rich because it is a barn zone. I'm not wrong about that either, but I also want you to know that everyone is working hard to get rich.
Regardless, I understand that Kofi is also trying. I am also certain that we are blessed in that sense. Especially since Ozhang has a lot of power on our part, there's no way that Kofi can compete on an equal footing.
But, you know, envy doesn't solve anything.
Well, I would like to give Shingen Takeda just the information to judge. I hope Shingen takes this opportunity to change policy from aggression.
That would be difficult.
