Swallow Back

In just a quarter or two, Iori's body temperature began to drop gradually, and the cold sweat was much less.

After more than an hour, it is estimated that it has entered the range of low-grade fever.

Iori's face was no longer so uncomfortable, her complexion gradually improved, and she fell into a peaceful sleep.

There was a lingering smile on the corner of his mouth.

But he still held Liu Yun's right hand tightly.

Like a drowning person, holding on to a life-saving straw.

He didn't let go until he fell asleep and turned over inadvertently in the dream.

Liu Yunfang got up, covered her quilt tightly, and went out quietly.

At this time, it was already evening.

Several people were waiting anxiously in the hall outside.

Liu Yun said, "Thanks to Wan Jindan, it's probably fine now."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Eguchi Sukezaemon was still quite remorseful, while Hayami Kiyobei ​​was vaguely proud.

Liu Yun bowed and saluted Mae Ye Nagakura: "Today can be regarded as a great gift from Mr. Kinoshita."

Nagano Maeno immediately returned the salute and smiled: "Kinoshita-sama specially ordered that it is our Hengshan City's honor to be able to help Sasaki-sama."

Liu Yun smiled without saying a word, but he felt that this human relationship must be remembered.

No matter what kind of grievance, there must be retribution, and the heart will be at ease.

……

After chatting a few words with everyone, they dispersed.

Liu Yun came to the yard to relax, but saw two monsters, Heitianfang and Qingtianfang, sneakily approaching the vicinity.

Liu Yun frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Kurodafang replied respectfully: "Today, Mrs. Iori is seriously ill. Although she is no longer in serious trouble, I feel that there is something I must tell you. In fact, Mrs. Iori's grandfather was the 'yokai senior'. , when he sent me and Ah Qing to come to protect her secretly, we even gave a piece of tea cake."

"Tea cake?" Liu Yun couldn't help repeating the other party's words, wondering if it was the same thing as Wan Jindan?

"Yes." Kurodafang continued: "This tea cake is useless to others, it is just an ordinary drink. But if it is boiled into a tea soup for Mrs. Iori to consume, she will not be suffering from any disease or suffering from Serious injuries and strange poisons can be healed quickly. However, the magic technique that was applied to her to hide the blood of the monsters will be ineffective."

Wen Yan Liuyun asked: "In other words, will there be traces of the monster's bloodline?"

"Exactly!" Kurodafang nodded solemnly: "Mrs. Iori's grandfather is a very famous monster senior, but he has also caused many enemies. If the monster bloodline is exposed on her, I am afraid it will cause disaster."

Liu Yun thought for a moment, then said slowly, "I see. Since that's the case, use it when you have to! This time, it's probably not needed."

Chapter 36 Wen Bao's heartbeat

After taking the "Wan Jin Dan", Iori's physical condition quickly recovered.

The body temperature dropped from high fever to low fever within an hour, and then basically returned to normal the next day.

The complexion improved significantly, and the symptoms of cold sweats were greatly relieved.

It's just that the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes away like a thread.

Although Iori has no obvious illness, for several days, his face is haggard, his limbs are weak, his spirit is sluggish, and his appetite is lost.

And the mood seems to be very strange. When he sees Liu Yun, he subconsciously hides his face and bows his head to avoid it.

It was a world of difference from holding hands tightly and pulling it into my arms on the day of high fever.

Liu Yun was a little puzzled, why a dignified and generous woman suddenly appeared like this shy and shy little daughter.

But he didn't give it much thought.

In the past few days, Iori was sick and unable to manage, and Liu Yun tried to take over the government affairs of Sasaki Village again.

Then I was once again persuaded by a lot of trivial things.

The collection and registration of annual tribute is extremely troublesome.

Because the villagers have no effective channels to realize the cash, the in-kind tax paid is a mess.Rice, grains, beans, salted fish, aquatic products, wood, fur, fruits and vegetables, sesame oil, etc.

These things need to be appropriately graded according to their appearance and quality, convert prices, and list the number of annual tributes that will convince everyone.

After receiving it, you have to keep it separately according to the category, and find a way to contact the merchants to sell the unused goods at home in exchange for cash.

Correspondingly, things that are needed at home but not produced in the village need to be purchased.Such as cloth, clothing, seasonings, candles, lanterns, farm implements, weapons...

Not to mention that the temple is still being built at the same time, and the expenditure of manpower and materials is a complicated account.

Relying on the education he received in the 21st century, Liu Yun is not incapable of handling these things.However, a rational analysis shows that spending energy on this is definitely getting twice the result with half the effort.

No matter how diligent and bleak the operation is, the surplus is only [-] to [-] taels of silver every year, which is inefficient.

After a few days of trying, Liu Yun decided to find someone to divide the responsibilities.

After all, the stall may become bigger and bigger in the future, and it is impossible to keep a woman in charge of the house in Yizhi. There must be a team.

Eguchi Sukezaemon is loyal and has rich experience at the bottom, but his education level is too low, and he is only suitable for patrolling around as a security captain.

Hayami Seibei is very ambitious, but he is indeed quite knowledgeable. It seems that military service, litigation, and general requests can be entrusted to many political affairs.

But the accounts must be kept by a trustworthy and loyal person.It just so happened that Uncle Xinghe was educated in the temple, and he was able to measure and calculate.

Afterwards, Junior Brother Suifeng was smart and active since he was a child, and for the time being, he would be a trainee with Hayami as his assistant. It would be a good thing if he could grow in the future.

The two monsters Qingtianfang and Heitianfang secretly shouldered the responsibility of protecting Iori, so they simply entrusted them as guards at home, both public and private.

Of course, he still has to accept the leadership of Mrs. Iori, and Liu Yun's final decision-making power, but she doesn't need to worry too much as a woman.

Just after the decision was made, just at the side of Hengshan City, the yellow-faced Nagano Maeno once again became a diligent and dedicated tool man and sent a new security certificate.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that not far north of Sasaki Village, a family with a Miao character called "Qingtian" was dismissed and exiled due to the disconnection with the Asai clan and their ineffectiveness in combat.

Three small villages, a piece of land with a combined population of about 600 people, recorded as a thousand stones, changed hands and belonged to Liu Yun.

Just in time, taking this opportunity to form a group of retainers, taking the opportunity to receive the new territory, ordering them to perform their duties.

By the way, you can also add some salaries to the retainers.

Eguchi helped Zaemon to raise his salary a bit, and was very excited. After realizing the division of labor, he didn't say a word. He found two young men as attendants, so he went to patrol the three villages he had just started.

Hayami Seibei is more concerned with responsibilities than treatment. He said: "I have the confidence to deal with a county or even a country. There are thousands of stone territories in several villages, and I must manage them in an orderly manner."

Uncle Xinghe was not very enthusiastic, but he did not refuse and took over the task of managing the accounts.As for the salary, he put it off: "When the new temple is built, Liu Yun, you can allocate some fields to make the temple property."

When Junior Brother Suifeng heard that he would get Totanda's knowledge and actions (about 18 stones), he was very excited and patted his chest, expressing that he would definitely accumulate political experience.

Qingtianfang and Kurodafang also received stipends. The former was quite proud of his status as "Sasaki's retainer", while the latter always had an awkward smile on his face.

In total, the land under Eguchi’s name was about 120 shi, Hayami [-] to [-] shi, and the two monsters were [-] shi each, and Suifeng gave them [-] shi. In addition to the reserved temple property, the total was only [-] shi.

In the future, more ronin can be recruited as retainers.

But it's not urgent.

In addition to sending the letter of the new territory, Mae Ye Nagayasu also specially invited doctors from Hengshan Castle who had returned from his relatives, and brought a lot of medicinal materials.

What the doctor said was Mr. Kou Naise Dozo's apprentice, it seemed very reliable.

After a careful investigation of Iori's situation, the doctor said to Liu Yun: "Mrs. Zun's condition should not only be due to the occasional cold, but the accumulation of years of overwork and worry. Before that, it was probably supported by willpower. It's like a mountain falling. Now that the fever has been relieved with the 'Wan Jin Dan', it is better to meditate and recuperate, and it will take a few months to recover."

Liu Yun was unhappy when he heard it, thinking that the longer the time, the more variables, so he asked: "Is it effective to take another Wanjindan?"

The doctor was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "Wan Jin Pill is only for the relief of critical illnesses. In fact, it doesn't help much for recuperation and physical fitness."

Liu Yun asked, "What can help?"

The doctor shook his head and smiled and said, "That would be difficult. Recuperating, recuperating, and strengthening the body are more difficult than prescribing the right medicine. Magical treasures that can play this role are regarded as treasures by nobles of various families. For example, the treasures of Mount Hiei Enryakuji Temple On the top of the building, the white and clean bottle said that you can get a bottle of blessing water every day. Drinking this blessing water will relieve fatigue and make you look radiant... The teacher has seen one side from a distance, and I just listen to his old man. I've said it before, and I don't know if it's true or not. I'm afraid such a treasure cannot be hoped for! It can only be said in vain. Who would dare to snatch it?"

Liu Yun nodded and asked his servants to take Mae Ye Nagayasu and the doctor down to rest and entertain them.

However, Nagano Maeno said that he was busy with business and did not have the time.

Seeing this, Liu Yun did not insist on staying, so he sent them away.

Before leaving, Maeno Nagayasu whispered to Liu Yunfu'er: "Kinoshita-sama has accepted your suggestion and has already started to fight back strongly against the provocation of Bieishan Enryakuji Temple in the territory, which caused a lot of disputes among the upper management of Oda , but Tamsho-sama (Oda Nobunaga) has yet to make a statement."

Liu Yun understood and replied, "If you need me to take action, please do so."

Mae Ye Nagakura smiled and said: "There is no need for you to take action yet, but in the next estimation, it should be there soon."

And then say goodbye.

After seeing Nagano Mae Ye, the doctor and the guards on horseback, Liu Yun returned home and went to the bedroom to take a look.

The retainers were all sent to work, and the servants also had their own tasks to work on. At this time, the house was a little empty.

Iori didn't know when, had already put on a thick cloak and crawled out of the quilt.Seeing Liu Yun coming in, he immediately asked worriedly: "When the doctor mentioned the magic weapon of Mount Hiei Enryakuji just now, sir... your reaction is a little... don't you want to snatch it? That's too dangerous! Concubine You're all about to recover, you really don't have to rush..."

At this time, I was so worried, I couldn't care less about being shy and reserved.

Liu Yun just smiled without saying a word, and told her to take a good rest and not to worry about it.

Chapter 37 Finally, Mount Hiei is going to be burned

In Liu Yun's heart, he really wanted to see that so-called white bottle.

One is through the fact that Iori contracted the disease, and found that the medical level of this era is too worrying, it is really untrustworthy, and there must be some way to maintain health in order to be prepared.

The second is that he already regarded Hiei-san Enryakuji Temple as an enemy.Wouldn't it be a pity to keep the magic treasure in the place that will be burned by Nobunaga's fire sooner or later?It's better to use it for the good people.

Thirdly, the red hook jade in my arms, I tried it a few days ago, but it was backlashed, so I didn't dare to use it easily.It would be even better if the body-building white bottle could counteract this backlash.

The problem is the timing of the departure.

It's definitely not possible to go there rashly alone, you still have to wait for Oda Nobunaga to do it first, and take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, which is the right way.

There will be no hurry.

However, it may not be too long.

……

During this period of time, the new retainer group planned by Liuyun worked very well, and the process of accepting the new territories of the three villages in the north seemed to be very smooth.

Although Eguchi Sukezaemon is a middle-aged illiterate, he is dedicated to his work and has social experience. He brought two minions and wandered around the neighborhood with a sword all day long, at least on the bright side to show the people of the new territory. The attitude of the Sasaki family.

Hayami Seibei, who was entrusted with government affairs, encountered faint resistance when trying to check the household registration and land in the three villages, and found that some people colluded and secretly caused trouble.But I don't know whether it is because of the memory of the old master or for other purposes.
