I burn the sky in Kyoto

That's the only good news.

In other areas, even more shocking scenes were staged.

People from house to house are crazily scrambling for food, and men, women, and children are all taking out their last savings to stockpile food.

Food prices have skyrocketed and are continuing to rise.Grain that was originally one yuan a catty became five yuan a catty within half an hour, and seven yuan a catty after another half an hour, or even more than ten yuan a catty...

Although the grains in the world are coarse grains, and occasionally there are a lot of chaff, at least they are all grains.

Until this batch was robbed, the food that was replaced later was visibly mixed with sawdust and rice straw. Even for such food, the price was still ten times higher than before.

Countless people watched the price of food soar like a tall building, and even directly reached the price that they could not afford to starve to death. The sense of despair and unparalleled panic spread rapidly.

Originally, they could buy ten catties of coarse rice with the money they had, but now, they can only buy nearly half a catty of rice mixed with sawdust.Winter is coming soon, and food prices will continue to rise. Countless families look at the price of food, lose hope of survival, and cry loudly.

A large amount of people's fat and people's anointing has been harvested by these families. Not only will their conscience not hurt, but they also want to intensify their efforts, colluding with each other to start a more profitable monopoly.

The daimyo in Kyoto has been wiped out. At least during this period of time, these small and medium-sized families have become local emperors. How can the Fujiwara family, which has just seized power, manage so many things?

Even if the Fujiwara family followed up to pursue the responsibility, all the aristocratic families in Kyoto would take advantage of the fire to fight. How dare the Fujiwara family who just came to power be enemies of the entire Kyoto family?

……

Kyoto, Arashiyama Taisha, and the Fujiwara family are still discussing internally at this time.

"My humble opinion is that we can show favor to some of the families, and then suppress the others, and collect the food in their hands at a low price for us to hoard. We can even sell some of the power of the Kyoto daimyo to them, and let them fight for it, while we are reaping the benefits It is just like the strategy of killing three scholars with two peaches in ancient books."

This time it was Kenaga Fujiwara who spoke, he was the head of the branch family, and most people agreed with this plan.

The so-called killing three men with two peaches means that two peaches are given to three strong men, and it is said that only the two strongest men will be given, and the three strong men will die because of the fight.It is the most classic means of killing with a borrowed knife.

Converted to such a scene, give other powers and positions to several family daimyos and let them compete and compete.The Fujiwara family gets higher benefits.

And Fujiwara Kanecho is a standard gentry, he saluted Li Wei slightly, and said: "My lord, the century-old shogunate, the thousand-year-old family, I think we really need to get out temporarily this time. Wait until someone It’s not too late for us to deal with this mess.”

Gentlemen like him look at any problem from the perspective of the family. For them, the family is everything.

Besides, if the Fujiwara family retreats bravely, they can get away completely, and they can even bite off a large piece of meat before getting out.When the plague and famine were over, they could even start staking the land, directly annexing the entire capital of Kyoto into their own hands.

If the Genji shogunate is ignored, it is very likely to attack Kyoto directly. Fujiwara Kanecho's approach can be said to be the best approach from the perspective of the family.

Although the country of Sakura in this era does not have the caste system of a certain world power in Li Wei's previous life, it has learned 100% of the things similar to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. It is not a caste system, but it is similar.To paraphrase what Li Wei said in his previous life, the son of a banker will become a banker, the son of a politician will become a politician, and the son of a doctor who only has money in his mind will eventually become a doctor with only money in his mind.

"I understand. You all think that we should preserve our strength. What about the attacking samurai from the shogunate? Just rely on our more than 100 samurai and dozens of muskets?" Li Wei said.

"My lord, although our Fujiwara family is down and out, we are still the top wealthy nobles in Kyoto. General Minamoto dare not attack us directly. Then he will face the exclusion and suppression of other nobles. After all, the daimyos of other feudal capitals are also Aristocrats, I won’t tear my skin apart completely.” Fujiwara Kanecho said in front of Li Wei at this time,

"At most, we only need to let some of the benefits, plus some means similar to marriage, is enough. Master, you can even marry the princess of the Yuan family again, as long as Princess Qianji doesn't mind."

Li Wei frowned directly, and he turned his head slightly to look at Fujiwara Chihime, and found that she didn't respond, but was recording very seriously, as if he thought this situation was normal.

Are some of the systems and customs here so messy?

"I can see it. You are all looking at the problem from your own perspective, pinning your hopes on negotiating and the kindness of your enemies. There is no need to consider this. Let me talk about my purpose, we have to solve the plague, The famine also needs to be dealt with, and we will eat it in Kyoto, and I will break all those who dare to reach out at this time." Li Wei said directly, "You don't need to think about other things, just tell me How can we solve the problem and eat Kyoto at the same time.”

"My lord! Don't aim too high, unless you are an enemy of the nobles in the entire capital, otherwise preserving your strength is always the best choice." A person said immediately.

"My lord, at this time, we must not be enemies of all the gentry in Kyoto, otherwise we will really be unable to move an inch. As for the civilians, they will die." Another member of the family also came out and said.

"The whole family in Kyoto? But it's just some local chickens, dogs, and dead bones in the grave. Let them live in Kyoto and they will only eat expensive rice. The plague has only started for a few days, and the price of rice has increased by more than ten times. Really. That's right!" Li Wei was simply laughed at by the operations of this group of aristocratic families.

"Master..."

Some family members wanted to say something, but they were stared back by Li Wei's eyes as if they were going to kill someone.

"I will confiscate all their homes. I just ask you, can you take over? You just need to answer me, yes or no?" Li Wei didn't put forward his own ideas to these people who only had a vision of the family.

It's not from the same era, and they don't have the same three views and insights. These insects are just tools that Li Wei uses as cattle and horses when he really has no manpower.

"Yes..." The people who separated the family looked at Li Wei's eyes, and they didn't dare to speak any more in silence.

"Then I will do it myself." Li Wei just said coldly.

Chapter 150 Seven: Cutting the corner of the table with one knife

"My lord, it's really not that we deliberately disobey your order. Even if we grab all the food for the entire Kyoto gentry, we will not be able to protect the entire Kyoto." Fujiwara Kenaga, the head of the branch family, came out to refute. He looked at Li Wei with flustered eyes, but he still spoke tremblingly.

Seeing Kanecho Fujiwara stand up again, some staff members of the branch family also mustered up the courage to speak again.

"Yes, my lords, even if we can take over the capital, even if the surplus food in the whole of the capital can only last until the spring of next year without the death of people. Kyoto, which has lost a large area of ​​farmland outside the city, can only let everyone Barely maintain [-]% fullness, so as not to starve to death. Even the surplus food of the Fujiwara family, the most wealthy family in Kyoto, is only enough for us to last until next year’s harvest.”

"My lord, I'm sorry to say it bluntly, you don't know how expensive rice is if you are not in charge. We can barely save ourselves this winter, and with this year's harvest, even you can't afford white rice, so you can only eat coarse rice."

"My lords, please think deeply. The current Kyoto is completely hopeless. Wait, we will come out to take over the government affairs of Kyoto after a group of people starve to death this year. We can go to the shogun's side to negotiate and get married. It’s even fine to send someone into the palace to take up the post of ‘Secretary of Shibu’.”

……

This time, many people still objected, but this time, the objections of the family members were well-founded, and Li Wei did not put too much pressure on them.

Although this group of people were the ultimate vampires out of ten who hanged nine of the street lamps and slipped through the net, but as their own dogs, vampires were sometimes an advantage.

These people may be short-sighted and narrow-minded.But the ability to protect oneself and the family is not bad.

As for the proposal of a certain guy to get married and send someone to the Genji Shogunate to serve as "Secretary of Shikibu", Li Wei completely ignored it.Pure bad idea.

When it comes to getting married, Li Wei knows that the culture of this era in Sakura Country is polygamy, not the monogamy and polygamy that he thought in his previous life.Great nobles can marry multiple wives, especially wives who are married and married.As for the position of "Secretary of the Ministry of Shikibu", it is equivalent to letting important members of the noble family go to the palace to serve as eunuchs.

If you want to go to the shogunate to be the "Secretary of Shibu", the best candidate is Li Wei's own direct descendants, but he doesn't have one yet.Now the only person in the entire Fujiwara family who is qualified to serve as Shibu secretary is Fujiwara Chihime, which is completely out of Li Wei's consideration.

Even though he knew that the aide was only proposing a strategy that best suited the current situation, Li Wei released a spiritual pressure on him alone. The terrifying spiritual pressure made him, who was already kneeling, grab the ground with his head and dare not speak.

Li Wei directly pulled out the Tian Yu Yu Zhan, came to the Ke Qing who proposed to be the "Minister of Shibu", and looked down at him condescendingly.This made him, who was grabbing the ground with his head, tremble all over with fright. He didn't dare to raise his head or make a sound at all, and kept his head firmly on the ground.

The others also held their breath, and even turned their heads slightly. Li Wei had a history of killing people in public. This time, they all thought that this guy was dead.

Tian Yuyu slashed out the knife, and then sheathed it. He didn't slash at the guest, but cut off the corner of the chopping board in front of him.

In everyone's eyes, the smooth cut corner of the table rolled to the middle, and then the red light exploded instantly, and everyone on the field felt that the terrifying scorching sword light seemed to blind their eyes.

"Today I won't pursue it anymore. In the future, whoever mentions peace and appoints someone to be the 'Secretary of Shibu', and whoever dares to mention surrender, will end up just like this corner of the table!"

In everyone's eyes, the Tian Yu Yu Zhan in Li Wei's hand disappeared out of thin air and was collected in the storage space.

"Thank you for not killing me, everyone." The guest hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"Now that I understand, I think you have the ability to take over Kyoto, but because of the food problem, you can't stabilize Kyoto. Even if the food of the entire Kyoto family can't plug the hole where the harvest is almost halved this year." Li Wei pointed his finger on the table Knocking, the tone is very flat, "Then can I think that as long as the food problem is solved, the problem in Kyoto can be solved?"

"Yes, my lord, as long as the food is in place, we can do our best to fulfill the requirements you mentioned earlier. But winter is coming soon, and it is impossible to solve the food problem this year." Fujiwara Kanecho looked embarrassed.

The corner of Li Wei's mouth was raised. At this moment, he reached into the storage space with one hand. In the eyes of everyone, one of Li Wei's arms suddenly disappeared, and then he took out several khaki balls.

This ball looked very ugly, and many of them were covered with mud, which made the nobles of the Fujiwara family feel uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling on their bodies, but they didn't dare to show it when they looked at Li Wei.

"Master, this is..." someone asked.

"I'll explain to you what plant tumors are, and you don't understand what tuber plants are, so just look at it." Li Wei Tian Yu Yuzhan inserted a knife into a potato, and then he carefully controlled the flame spiritual power to inject Tian Yu Yuzhan and cover it. on the potatoes.

Because the temperature of his own flame is too high, the limit can even approach the temperature of the sun's surface.Li Wei was very careful to keep the temperature of the flame stable at around [-] degrees, so as not to burn the potatoes or even turn them into ashes.

In the last world, he stayed in Bald Eagle for more than 40 days. During a period of time, he went to the farm to buy some potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., and filled the storage space with the size of a small compartment to the brim.

The main reason is that he is also fed up with the diet of the main world, and every day is a soup made of wasabi rice and a little kelp.

Soon, the fragrance spread throughout the room. When did people in this world who can only eat brown rice and millet smell this sweet fragrance? Even the nobles swallowed their saliva.

Li Wei took off the baked potatoes on the Tian Yu Yu Zhan, probably Susanoo would never have imagined that Tian Yu Yu Zhan, an artifact, would be used to bake potatoes.

And when the potato skin was peeled off, the golden core and diffused fragrance made the Fujiwara family stunned, and their throats wriggled uncontrollably.

"This... this..." Someone looked at the golden, plump and glowing potatoes, and smelled the sweet fragrance.The craving for sugar in their DNA at that moment left them speechless.

Li Wei broke apart the baked potato and handed half of it to Chihime Fujiwara. She took the potato with a smile and tasted it slightly.

In an instant, her eyes opened sharply, she hurriedly covered her small mouth, and ate mouthful like a hamster.

"Try it yourself." Li Wei threw the remaining half of the potato to Kanecho Fujiwara.

Fujiwara Kanecho took the half of the potato, and he tasted the rich sugar aroma.

150 Chapter Eight: The Potatoes Are Here

The surroundings fell into a deathly silence, only the sound of breathing.

Fujiwara Kanecho trembled at this moment, which shocked everyone else around him.

"Sweet! Hahahaha! Sweet! Sweet!" Fujiwara Kanecho seemed to have lost his mind and went crazy, holding the half piece of potato in his hand as if he regarded it as a treasure, like a pilgrimage.

It was the first time for him to experience such a sweet taste, and the last time he went to Shinto to taste the malt candy that only the emperor could enjoy.That smell was something he would never forget, but now, this ugly thing made him feel that sweet smell that made his brain tremble again.

In fact, this is due to the special reasons of this land. The productivity of Sakura Country is extremely low, coupled with the fall outside the city, Li Wei, the head of the Fujiwara family, can barely eat enough.As for other people, I am afraid that only a few people such as the emperor and the shogun can enjoy the maltose made from wasting food.

Even the great nobles may not know what sweetness feels like all their lives, let alone the middle and bottom civilians?

And sweetness is the biggest stimulus feedback engraved in human DNA, and even human beings' desire for sweetness is far stronger than any desire.

People who have never tasted sweetness in their life will be addicted and even crazy after tasting it.

A chain reaction took place, and more people began to look at the khaki potatoes on the ground with trepidation. At this moment, they lost all expression and could only stare blankly at the potatoes in front of them.

"This is potatoes. You should think that I am getting food from the gods of Gaotianyuan. This kind of crop likes cold but not heat. It can grow smoothly even in frozen soil and is suitable for farming in winter. Moreover, the yield per mu is 2000 Stone (more than [-] catties) or more." Li Wei said.

In the previous life, cherry blossom-flavored potatoes could be grown in Siberia, which can even be said to be permafrost. The coldest weather in Kyoto in winter is only a few degrees below zero. It is really not worth mentioning.

The people present felt as if thunder was falling from the sky, and some even opened their mouths, as if they were in a state of dementia.

At present, the yield of grain in Kyoto is only about [-] catties per mu, which is a little more than two stones. When Li Wei said that the yield of potatoes is more than ten times that of grain, everyone felt that he was telling a myth.

"Great... my lord, did you say something wrong, it is two stones, not twenty stones..." Someone said tremblingly, as if trying to correct Li Wei's mistake.

"No, you heard it right, that is, the yield per mu is [-] shi. Even the yield will be even more." Li Wei said, secretly thinking in his heart, but the land needs to be fertile enough.

"Hiss..." The whole room could only hear the sound of gasping for air, and I was only amazed in my heart, and I didn't dare to move even when the stormy waves turned up.

"So, I asked, if you give this crop to you, can you eat the capital for me?" Li Wei glanced around and said.

No one answered Li Wei, they were confused and didn't believe it at the moment.I can't believe it at all.This is too shocking for the group of people who live in the island country, so that they can't believe it even if it has anything to do with the myth.

"Then choose a piece of land acquired by the Fujiwara family and plant it, and you will naturally understand it in two months. From today on, all of you will follow my way and eat Kyoto for me! Do you understand?" Li Vi asked at last.

"Hay..."

When the meeting of the Fujiwara family dissipated, Li Wei handed over a dozen potatoes to the branch family.

After Li Wei had to arrange some things, he started to copy the homes of the gentry.He dared to play economic leverage and monopoly under his nose, and started to take advantage of the fire to rob. Li Wei thought that all these people should be killed.

No, killing is too wasteful. Let’s plant potatoes in winter, and let the cherry blossom-flavored potatoes bring warmth to Kyoto in this cold winter.

Maybe it was really the same as what Qianji said, after coming to this world and experiencing some things, he changed and became cruel.
