Pirates: Starting from turning Wano Country into Inazuma

In fact, he can indeed make people in this country live a better life.He only went to sea for more than two months, but he brought a lot of foreign seeds and items, which can improve the lives of Jiuli people to a certain extent.

After Kozuki Oden went to sea, he went through so many adventures, but he still returned empty-handed.

He has been to Ralph Drew, he has seen the prophecies left in 800 years, and he knows that the world will face great changes, everything is great and lofty, but he just turns a blind eye to the suffering of the people.

Overseas more advanced productivity, excellent crop seeds, medical knowledge...

These can develop Wano's economy and save many people from hunger and disease, but he brought nothing back.

Kozuki Oden was not a qualified ruler from the very beginning. Originally, after he built Jiuli, the financial situation of Jiuli had been vacant. He had no idea how to make up for this vacancy. If it weren't for the Shimotsuki family, the Jiuli he established would have been established long ago. Ruined.

Later, Jiuli was also maintained by the Nine Heroes of the Red Sheath. The Nine Heroes of the Red Sheath who had learned a lot from the Kang family was already very similar to that at that time. Nine miles hasn't changed much since he left the country.

If it weren't for Kaido, Kuri would have been able to maintain it forever.

After Kaido came to this country, Kuri's situation became very bad, but after Oden came back, the status quo did not change at all. There is no difference between this country with him and without him.

In Xia Lin's view, Kozuki Oden is indeed a joke, he simply cannot afford the country's expectations of him.

The Kozuki clan is actually no different from the Denryu people in this country. Although they are rarely shown in the anime, their detached status can be seen from the past deeds of Mitian.Robbery of civilian women is nothing to this family, and it has even become a legend circulating like a heroic deed.

This was something Xia Lin could not understand.

If he was in power, the behavior of Kozuki Oden before was enough to kill the other party more than a dozen times.

Xia Lin stretched and picked up a newspaper next to the desk.

There are also newspapers in Wano Country itself, and the news of many other villages will be spread through the newspapers. In fact, the prosperity of Kuri is also spread through these newspapers. The residents of other villages are very yearning for the prosperous life of Kuri.However, it is very difficult to move into Jiuli.

The newspaper that Xia Lin was looking at at this time was not a newspaper in Wano Country, but an overseas newspaper.

The news bird has no way to fly into the skies of Wano country. In the past, Xia Lin could only wait for the news delivered by Heitan Muchan if he wanted to know overseas news.But there are too many big and small things in the outside world, and Heitan Muchan can only pick out some things in the phone bug that she thinks are big events and report them.

It is much more convenient to have Chiado now, as long as people wait in the offshore of Wano country every once in a while, and then let Chiado fetch the things.

Not just newspapers, when the amount of supplies is not much, she can also be used as a temporary means of transportation.

"Locks and the navy have friction again?" Xia Lin looked at the newspaper. Recently, it seems that the conflict between Lockes and the navy and the world government has become more and more intense.

However, the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, which involved many forces in history, will be next year, and it is normal to have such a degree of friction.

Xia Lin didn't know that he actually added a lot of gunpowder to the friction between the two sides.Jacka and others arrested by Zefa are vassals of Big Mom, and the pirates under him were caught by the navy, which is a shameful thing for Big Mom.

Starting from a small Yehuo Pirates, the contradictions have been constantly escalating, so that now there is a faint taste of war.

However, this incident can only be regarded as the fuse at best. Lockes' ambition to subvert the world is the irreconcilable contradiction between him and the world government.Now people in the whole sea can feel a tense momentum, so much so that Heitan Muchan is considering whether to come back temporarily to avoid the limelight.

At this time, it is still a bit conspicuous to develop power outside, but on the other hand, it is a good time to fish in troubled waters.

However, in this environment, apart from Wano Country being in the world, there is another group of people who seem to be completely unaffected by the current atmosphere of the sea.

This group of people is the Roger Pirates headed by Roger.

A few months ago, Roger and others arrived at Mercury Star Island. Generally speaking, people think that this is the end of the great voyage, but Roger doesn't think so.After arriving at Water Star Island, the disordered pointer made him think that there was another unknown island, and it was the existence of this island that caused the magnetic field to become chaotic.

But now he has no idea how to find the island.

It's as if an ordinary compass loses its effect after entering the great route and starts to spin crazily, and now the recording pointer in his hand has also become this situation.It's like it's completely useless.

"It seems that there is no way to support us to go on with this record pointer." Roger smiled.He has been wandering around Shuixianxing Island for a while, trying to find the right direction, but to no avail.

But he is not completely without gain, at least he has a little clue.

Chapter 73 Frost Moon Beef Pills

Compared with the outside world, the days of Wano Country are still the same as before.

Except for Kuri, the time of the other villages in Wano Country seems to have stopped, and there is no development at all.

The more Kozuki Oden stays in Kuri, the more he can feel that Kuri is becoming more and more vibrant in this kind of change. Now, even remote places like the guardian forest have undergone many changes. This is a constantly developing place. Township.The continuous construction of new projects and innovative labor tools have brought about huge changes to this original lawless place.

He believed more and more that Xia Lin must have a connection with the outside world of Wano Country. Although these advanced technologies do not seem very complicated, they cannot appear in large quantities in a short period of time.

This made him more convinced that his original idea of ​​going to sea was correct. If a country wants to be strong, it must not rest on its laurels.Originally, he didn't think that much. At that time, he just wanted to escape from this cage-like world, but now, he saw the possibility of all this.

However, in Xia Lin's view, Jiuli's development is actually very slow, and it has not yet entered industrial civilization.

In agriculture, since the labor force of one person like a samurai is equivalent to tens of hundreds of people, and the tame beasts in the jungle are also very powerful labor force, the productivity in farming is actually sufficient.

But in terms of other handicrafts, the development of Jiuli is not more advanced than other townships.

For example, the textile industry, those samurai are not good at it.The most advanced place in Wano Country's textile industry is the Flower City, not because the Flower City has a lot of cotton or there are many silkworm farmers, but because the Flower City has the most rich people.

The clothes of those noble people are naturally very particular, even ordinary clothes must be silk and satin.In the same way, as long as other industries are favored by the rich, they can often find the best craftsmen and entertainers in the Flower Capital.

As time passed, the capital of flowers became more and more extravagant.

In theory, the prosperity of Jiuli can be completely replicated.There is no technical gap between other townships and Jiuli, but in fact, there is no way for other townships to imitate Jiuli's approach.

Those big names would like to, but they can't do it at all.

Although there are a lot of samurai, they are also an aristocratic class in the Wano country. These people have their own unique arrogance. They would rather go to rich people to get some money and treat them like a dog, and it is impossible to go to the fields like farmers. field.Not to mention letting them use the sword skills they have learned all their lives to carve some gadgets.

It was an insult to them, a trample on the name of the warrior.

As a result, Jiuli is now a prosperous peach blossom-like holy place in the hearts of ordinary people, but in the eyes of warriors from other villages, this is a place they don't want to set foot on.They think that the samurai in Jiuli are all weak bones, and they are not worthy of the title of samurai at all.

The martial arts and strength that real warriors cultivated hard are not for farming. Swords exist for killing. They can kill and protect people. Not to be confused with untouchables.

The warriors of Jiuli are a disgrace to them, and many people even say that if they see the warriors of Jiuli, they will kill them with their own hands, lest they tarnish the name of the warriors.

And the grievances of these people continued to deepen along with the constant testing of their hometown's daimyo.

This phenomenon is especially serious after the bell.

Suzuki's daimyo is Shimotsuki Ushimaru, and his appearance is very similar to Solo's. Now Shimotsuki Ushimaru has just become a daimyo not long ago, and he is only in his teens, so his thinking will not be completely ignorant like some old men.

In fact, he is also a warrior himself. At the beginning, he couldn't understand why the warriors in Jiuli were so self-willed and depraved, but when he found that it was because of these warriors that they were willing to work hard that Jiuli was able to reclaim a large area of ​​land into cultivated land. Very tempting.

Suzugo's food problem has plagued countless generations of daimyos, but there has been no way to get a good solution.In this land where the winter is always severe, countless people who do not have enough to eat turn into stiff corpses in the midst of hunger and cold every day.

Now the thought in Shimotsuki Ushimaru's mind has changed from "Why did those samurai want to degenerate" to "How did Kuri's daimyo get those samurai to engage in these productive labors honestly".

The samurai in Bell Queen were unmoved by his hints from time to time and some orders that were not mandatory. If his attitude was a little tougher, both the samurai outside and the samurai in his own house would be very angry, and even the staff would be very angry. His thoughts shuddered.

How can a dignified samurai engage in such a lowly thing?

Shimoyue Niuwan soon discovered that it was impossible to start from the warrior side, so he planned to start from the aspect of taming wild beasts instead. If he could tame some large wild beasts, it would also provide some convenience for farming.

But soon he found that he couldn't do this. Those beasts were not performers in the circus, how could they be able to plow the fields?

"Phew, really, how did Kuri's daimyo do this?" Shuangyue Niuwan couldn't figure it out.Neither man nor beast can be tamed at all.

Even if he could use force to force those warriors to work in the fields, they would not be able to contribute, but would only feel resentment in their hearts.Shimotsuki Ushimaru did not have the power to suppress the entire Suzugo samurai. If these samurai rioted, it would be difficult for him to calm down.

"It's a very amazing person. I can't help but want to see him with my own eyes." Shuangyue Niuwan leaned on the seat and sighed.He stretched out his hand to wear a haori to protect against the cold, and held warm sake in his hand.

In fact, he was already very curious about Xia Lin when he heard that Xia Lin defeated the strongest Asura boy in Jiuli.Later, when Sukiyaki summoned them, he even said a good word for Xia Lin.

However, after the meeting ended, he immediately returned to Bell Queen, and he was not there when Sukiyaki interviewed "Xia Lin".So far, apart from Kozuki Sukiyaki himself, none of the big names have seen Xia Lin in person.

"Would you like to pay a visit?" Shuangyue Niuwan thought, but actually it wasn't very abrupt for him to visit Xia Lin.Now Jiuli has become the main food import target of Linghou, and there is a large trade relationship between the two parties.

Since it is a partner, it is also reasonable to pay a visit.

"It seems that that guy Oden is still working in Kuri, and Kuri Daimyo is really daring!"

Shuangyue Niuwan laughed, the words were mostly ridicule.

Chapter 74 Assassination Plan

Shimotsuki Niomaru intends to visit Kuri, but it takes time to prepare.

There are also many etiquettes for formal visits between daimyos. Since you are going to go there, you can't be empty-handed, and it is best to inform the other party in advance by letter.

It would not be so troublesome if the daimyos who are familiar with each other visit privately.

If he was visiting Shuangyue Kang's house, he might suddenly remember it one day, pack up and set off.

It is really troublesome to prepare gifts for Daimyo Guri. Guri's economy is now coming from behind, surpassing places like Suzugo and Nozomi. It is difficult to prepare gifts that the other party will appreciate.

The point is that there seems to be nothing worthy of praise behind the bell.

If you insist on saying the same thing, it is a weapon.

There is a very special place behind the bell, and that is the northern cemetery.The northern cemetery is where countless warriors were buried after death.After these warriors died, they would bury their bodies in the frozen ground, and leave the swords they had worn all their lives here, as if the blades had become their tombstones.

Over time, the northern cemetery has become a real mountain of knives.

The quality of these samurai swords varies, and one of the best swords is the black sword Qiushui, which is called the "national treasure" of Wano country!

Qiushui is now being enshrined in the Sword God Temple in the northern cemetery.The samurai of the Wano country who left the legend of killing the dragon - Shimotsuki Ryoma, is the existence of this country that is regarded as the sword god.

It is naturally impossible for Shuangyue Niuwan to send out such a treasure. In fact, the knives in the northern cemetery must not be moved. These knives carry the honor and disgrace of the deceased owner's life.

Fortunately, this is not a problem, forging knives is also a common thing for him.

However, there are too many skilled craftsmen in Wano Country. Although the only person who has successfully forged a large sword among the living people is Kozuki Sukiyaki, there are still two or three people in the country who are capable of forging a good sword. Yes, even if you don't have one, it's not difficult to buy a good knives handed down from the past.

I heard that when Kuri Daimyo visited the general not long ago, the general sent out a demon sword.

"Ordinary swords are probably hard to catch the eyes of Kuri Daimyo." Shimotsuki Ushimaru sighed.The value of a good sharp knife is probably worth several platinum. This money is a huge sum of money for an ordinary samurai, but it is a small amount of money for Jiuli who is now very rich.

Maybe there are quite a few Liang Kuai knives in the Nine Li Daming Mansion now.

I heard that when the daimyo of Jiuli went to visit the general before, he brought gifts worth ten thousand gold. In comparison, the value of the demon sword given by the general was even less than one-tenth of these gifts.

In fact, this can't be entirely blamed on Sukiyaki's stinginess, it is because Xia Lin's hand is too generous, so that Sukiyaki has no time to prepare a suitable gift.The value of the second-generation ghost is not cheap, but after all, it was passed down from the ancestors. For sukiyaki, the meaning of the knife itself is greater than its true value.

After thinking about it, Shuangyue Niuwan still wants to try, whether he can forge a real big sharp knife with the strength of himself and Linghou.

Those who can forge big sharp knives in history are enough to be recorded in the annals of history.Shuangyue Niuwan has made several sharp knives before, and he is considered a good craftsman.

But his level is far from making a big knife.

Moreover, wanting to forge a good knife is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time. With the trial and error in the early stage, Shimoyue Niomaru feels that if he can succeed within ten years, he will be very good.

It is more likely that until the end of his life, there is no way to forge a big sharp knife.

If big fast knives could be made so easily, the number of big fast knives in this world would not be so rare.

Shimoyue Niuwan immediately ordered his servants to prepare the materials for forging the knife. Unlike the island country where Xia Lin lived a good life in his previous life, the mineral resources in the land of Wano Country were not barren. On the contrary, the mineral resources in this country were very rich. richness.

Not only is it rich in sea floor stone minerals, but some rare metals are also widely distributed in this country.

High-strength forging skills, coupled with high-quality raw materials, are why the weapons forged by Wano Country can become the best weapons in One Piece World.

Shuangyue Niuwan started to try to build a big fast knife here, but Xia Lin's demand for a knife was not very urgent.For him, no matter what kind of knife it is, even if it's just a wooden stick, as long as its domineering strength is strong enough, it can become invincible.

This is why many pirates in the new world hold knives that are not famous knives, but they will not break when they collide with famous knives.

Coupled with the energy attachment of Tian Congyun's sword, in fact, the sword is not very necessary for him at all.But a good knife can really enhance a swordsman's strength.

And when a good knife is held in the hand, the feel it brings is completely different.

……

"call--"

At night, after the bell, the wind and snow blew again. Several warriors wrapped in thick clothes shrank their heads into the clothes, exhaled white hot air, and squeezed each other into a room.

"Clatter—" After reaching out to close the shoji door, the noisy wind outside seemed to be cut off.

One of them took off his bamboo hat and coir raincoat, shook off the snow on his body, then bent down and lit a fire.The room was suddenly brightened, and the flames drove away the cold outside.

Several people put their knives at their feet and sat down.

The owner of the house poured some hot tea.

"Tell me, what's going on in our daimyo's mind? He actually wants us to farm the fields!"

After warming his stiff body with tea and a fire, one of them said dissatisfiedly.

In fact, the group of people sitting here is the leader of the well-known underworld forces after Linghou.They are gangsters, but they are also samurai at the same time. They have a very close relationship with daimyo.

"You've lost your mind." One of them sneered, "Your name is so high, we warriors may not be taken seriously."

"It can't be said that, Master Ushimaru is still very good. He used to treat us well. And we are also convinced of his strength. I think the problem lies with Kuri. The samurai there are simply a disgrace. Got a bad head."

"Kuri? How can there be any warriors in Kuri? It's just a slave of the Kuri daimyo." One of them laughed.

In fact, this sentence can't be wrong, those people have become Xia Lin's servants in a sense, and it is a kind of surrender from the physical and mental level.

"Let our daimyo see the consequences of doing this!"
