I just want to build a city

Chapter 39

Qingshu-kun is completely unaware that in the Inari Headquarters in Kyoto, there is such a person who has used astronomical divination to find his position, and is complaining bitterly about his ruthlessness.

The reason why he came back to Heianjing instead of seeing Youzi was of course very simple. The current situation was fluctuating. He didn't want the relationship between Ju Youzi and him to be too obvious, and in the end he couldn't be arranged to serve in his territory.Of course Youzi also understands, but understanding is one thing, and feeling sour in his heart is another. If others can't see it, why can't he still see it?The Oboro car galloping through the air and galloping towards Tottori, only Abe Seimei has this special car in the entire Heian-kyo.

The deep house is usually in the Abe residence, except for official business, why Abe-sama, who never goes out, suddenly went to Tottori, and who was sitting in the car, of course he understood very well.

……

Mr. Qingshu sneezed twice and rubbed his nose in the bullock cart. This feeling was not very comfortable.

"My lord, did you catch the wind and cold on the road?" Xing asked in a low voice with concern.

"No, it shouldn't be... Forget it, let's cook a bowl of soup to drive away the cold and serve it when we go back."

"Yes."

The ox cart carrying Haruki-kun arrived at the gate of Fujiwara's mansion before dusk.

"Over there, is that Qingshu-kun?" Just as Qingshu-kun was about to go back to Fujiwara Michitaka's residence, he heard a woman's delicate voice not far from him, followed the prestige, and called him to stop The people are also people he is familiar with.

That is, the house is next door to his elder brother, Fujiwara Shoko, the eldest daughter of Mr. Fujiwara.Because Fujiwara Michitaka is much younger than Fujiwara Michitaka, his eldest daughter is only 3 years older than Haruki.

"Zhangzi follows mother." Qingshu-kun bowed to her.

"Except for the first day, we can see from a distance that we haven't had a good get together for a long time." Fujiwara Akiko who got the response came forward accompanied by the female roommate Zi Shibu.Because the head of the Fujiwara family is now Michitaka Fujiwara, all members of the Fujiwara family will come to Michitaka Fujiwara's house for festivals like the first day of the year. There was a gap between the two families after Kane's death three years ago, let alone a good relationship. got together.

As far as Michitaka Fujiwara is concerned, he is unwilling to cultivate a relationship with his grandson whom he is optimistic about, and his younger brother who is ambitious and staring at his position, the eldest daughter of Michiwara Fujiwara.

"In another three years, Zhangzi will wear clothes from his mother, so naturally he can't be the same as before."

Akiko Fujiwara lowered her eyes, and the smile on her face faded. Of course, she knew about her father's plan, and she was unwilling in her heart. Her cousin, Michitaka Fujiwara's eldest daughter, is now the emperor's middle palace. , there is another prince, what is the father's idea of ​​letting her enter the palace to fight?Fujiwara Akiko could only stop thinking about it.

Fujiwara Akiko is different from her father, educated by her mother, she is a gentle and kind woman.Even if Qingshu-kun saw her gloom, he couldn't help her. At present, once his grandfather passed away, he would be like a clay figure in the hands of Mr. Fujiwara. Sent to the girl in the palace.

Looking at Akiko Fujiwara, he somewhat understood what Seimei said to him before.

Some things are established and cannot be violated, and they can only follow the trend.

Fujiwara Akiko was destined to be sent to the Emperor's Palace, and after giving birth to Emperor Suzaku, he replaced Stator's child and inherited the throne of this country.

"Yeah, in another 4 years, Haruki-kun will also be in Yuanfu, unfortunately, I probably won't be able to see it at that time." Fujiwara Akiko sighed and seemed to give up something, and relaxed a bit. tone.

This conversation finally ended in a rough way. Both of them knew in their hearts what was going on secretly in the two families. They were still young and they were powerless to stop it.Qingshu-kun still has the opportunity to be self-reliant and self-reliant, until he develops a territory that no one can interfere with.Fujiwara Akiko was placed in the chaotic backyard from birth, and after putting on clothes, she was only sent to a more chaotic place, stuck in the quagmire, unable to save herself.

……

Same as the previous year, Haruki-kun left Heian-kyo after eating seven herb porridge. After Fujiwara Michitaka knew that Fujiwara Akiko had contact with him two days ago, he had no intention of keeping him for a few more days. Genji's samurai once again escorted him onto the bullock cart and headed for Tottori Genji Manor.

The jerky brought from Tottori was exhausted after the first day, and the dry food on the road was only long-lasting pancakes.Fortunately, these escorting Genji warriors have long been used to Haruki-kun's habit of eating three meals a day, and they also know that he does not shy away from eating meat, and when he occasionally stays in the wild, two people can leave the team to bring back one or two wild ducks and hares What, appetizer.

It took about half a month, and before the beginning of spring, the team escorting Haruki-kun returned from Heian-kyo to Tottori Genji's manor territory.

When he returned to the territory, the craftsmen of the territory refused to accept his great trust and completed the task of building the pier, and the fourth special handicraft also became the words "distributing".

To be honest, apart from Pixiu woodcarving, after experiencing the red string and the strange sunny doll, Mr. Qingshu really has expectations and fears for special handicrafts.However, it also depends on whether the task reward can be safely in his hands.After the task reward arrived, he would worry about what to do with the new special handicraft.

As soon as the bullock cart carrying Mr. Qingshu stepped into the territory, it was welcomed by the villagers of the manor.The patrol soldiers in the territory received the news from Kai Teng-kun early on, and they have come to meet their group.In fact, there is no need to send additional manpower to do this kind of maintenance. Although Mr. Qingshu is a child who has not yet been dressed in the eyes of Zhuang Min, he is too kind, but he also carries indescribable majesty. Mr. Qingshu's escort The team set foot on the main road of the territory, and the villagers who were originally on the territory automatically retreated behind the main road.

The adults outside the main road looked at the lord's ox cart with eager smiles, and were delighted that the lord had returned to the territory.For them, Haruki-kun is a nobleman born in the Fujiwara clan of Heiankyo, and one day he will abandon this place and go to Heiankyo to live a better life.

The children on the side were bolder and more lively than the adults around them, chasing the ox cart with short legs, laughing and speaking innocent words to the ox cart.

"Lord, spring is about to begin, and there are many beautiful flowers blooming in the back mountain."

"Lord, I also found a lot of beautiful stones this year, I hope you like it."

"Lord Lord..."

However, these children didn't want to be presumptuous for too long, and they were quickly caught by the adults at home.

"Nonsense, don't be rude to the lord."

"You will quarrel with the lord."

……

Qingshu Jun smiled and listened to the soft scolding outside the bullock cart and the children's innocent murmurs, and couldn't help chuckling silently.

"It's easier to come back."

"Your Excellency said so." As a person born here, Kai Teng-kun has experienced the depressive life in Heian-kyo during this period. When he returned to the territory, he saw familiar smiling faces and felt the familiar sea breeze. His nerves have been tense. All relaxed.

These days, Nakatahara manages the inside and outside of the manor in an orderly manner, and even boiled hot water when Qingshu-kun came back, so that he can clean his body at any time.

After cleaning up, Qingshu-kun looked at the list of young and middle-aged men recruited by Nakatahara for this phase of the samurai mansion. The next thing to do.

"Nakata-kun, how long have you been in charge of Kaito-kun?"

Nakatahara took the roster, and when he heard this question, his pupils dilated unconsciously, then he quickly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "It's been almost a year."

"It's been almost a year. It's hard to avoid letting you bear the status of temporary steward." After all, Hai Teng-kun was promoted to a serious steward in half a year, and he was even given his surname.There is no need for Nakatahara to give him a surname, after all, his family is originally the retainers of the Fujiwara clan.The promotion speed is not as fast as that of a commoner, so I should feel unhappy in my heart.

"It's because I am not as capable as Kaito-kun." This is the truth. Although Nakata-kun is meticulous and clever, he is not as bold as Kaito-kun in his actions.For example, let Zhuangmin go to other villages to recruit people to live in, this cold-hearted man would not do that.

"No matter what you think in your heart, I'm very happy to hear your answer." Mr. Qingshu raised his eyes and looked at the sunny baby under the eaves outside, shaking his body to reach for the pancakes, and said with a chuckle: "I I am also very satisfied with your performance this year. From today onwards, you will officially be the director of the manor. You will no longer need to report to me through Xing about the affairs of the manor. You can go directly to my study and dormitory. OK."

"Yes, thank you for your reward."

After Nakata received the promotion reward, he retreated to carry out Qingshu-kun's next arrangement. Until he left the main courtyard, he was a calm and restrained man. When he saw the cheerful man outside the main courtyard, he waved to him. In the hour of posting, he finally couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, which surprised a few attendants who accidentally saw not far away.It turned out that Manager Nakata knew how to laugh too.

……

In order to welcome the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty that will come after the beginning of spring, the weapon shop hastily forged a batch of glass, and secretly passed the hands of some craftsmen to fix it with wood for shock absorption, so that Mr. Jin can easily transport it to the Song Dynasty.

Under the hard work of the weapon shop, Mr. Qingshu clicked on the attribute panels of various public buildings the night before the spring, and found that the weapon shop was about to meet the upgrade requirements!

Weapon shop upgrade conditions:

1. Forge 3 different ores (achieved)

2. Forge and polish 100 weapons (89/100)

3. Forge a name (unfinished)

Qingshu-kun also specially called Nakata over the next day, and indirectly asked him how the business of the weapon shop was.

Obviously, there are not many warrior groups and patrol soldiers in the territory, so how can they manage to polish and forge nearly [-] weapons.Later, Nakatahara told him that it turned out that a large number of reserve patrol soldiers were newly recruited, which made the first batch of patrol soldiers feel the pressure. During this period of time before and after, sparring and other exercises were more diligent than before. After a bit of hard work, now that they have officially become patrol soldiers, they have real swords, and most of the warriors use real swords in their training, in order to let them feel the taste of cold weapons in advance.

Therefore, these swords, which are not too refined, are more worn, so the number of times they were taken to the weapon shop by the patrol soldiers reached nearly [-] times.

However, when you are promoted to the second level, there will always be such a difficult task, and Mr. Qingshu is also mentally prepared.The third upgrade condition, forging a famous knife, is indeed not that easy. However, in this era, the most famous knife blacksmith is now in his territory.

Sanjo Zongjin, who forged the Konken, Kohomaru, and the national treasure Mikazuki Zongkin, and his descendants also forged famous swords such as Ishikirimaru after him.

That being said, who can guarantee that Sanjo Zongjin will be able to forge a famous sword immediately?He is a famous craftsman who has outstanding talent and pours everything into forging knives, but he is not a god, how can he forge famous swords after forging like that.Now, after the beginning of spring, the iron ore can be transported to his territory. By then, let Sanjo Zongjin feel free to forge a lot of knives. I hope he can forge famous knives earlier without resource constraints.

I don't know what kind of panel will be like after the weapon store is upgraded to the second level. He doesn't ask how good it is, so he hopes that the system can be a good person.Oh, he's not human.

On the first day of spring, Mr. Qingshu still sat in the corridor early. The kitchen staff had already been ordered. a few.

The winter cold has not subsided, and the glass screens made by Xingrang craftsmen finally came in handy. They were placed in the corridor and surrounded a space around Mr. Qingshu. Come in with the spring breeze.

Three or four charcoal basins were placed around Mr. Qingshu. With the airtight screen, some heat could be gathered around Mr. Qingshu, so it would not be so cold.

This year's spring wind came earlier than in previous years. Mr. Qingshu had finished his breakfast, and just after reading a book for a cup of tea, he heard the rustling of dead leaves blown by the wind outside the courtyard.

Mr. Qingshu was a little surprised that the white fox came so early this year. When he clicked on the pixel map, what he saw was the familiar little pixel fox passing through the courtyard, carrying the spring breeze across the screen, and the spring breeze surrounded Mr. Qingshu for a week. , parked at the position on the case table.Haruki-kun looked at the deep-fried tofu and beancurd sushi that were rapidly decreasing out of thin air, with a faint smile on his lips, and raised his hand to the approximate height of the table.

It should be, touched it.

Probably in response to Qingshu-kun, after the plate was empty, the spring breeze passed through his little fingertips and swirled around his wrists, like the feeling of a white fox's tail being entwined in the past.

So, just for a moment.The white fox on the map left, grasping the spring breeze and preparing to cross the screen, but... stopped above the screen.

Mr. Qingshu looked at the location shown on the pixel map with some doubts. The white fox did not move for four or five seconds on the screen. What's wrong?

Mr. Qingshu's doubts did not last long, and a bubble appeared on the head of the Map White Fox God Envoy: stuck...

"Pfft..." Qingshu-kun spread out his fan, suppressed his smile, and when Xing cast a suspicious look, he waved to him and asked people to remove the screen, and he was ready to go back.

Seeing Xing and the others fall down the screen, the white fox paused and left quickly, until he disappeared on the map of his territory, and then he withdrew his smile.

"See you next year."
