Pirates: Starting from turning Wano Country into Inazuma

The sinister expressions of these people were faintly visible in the beating flames.

Chapter 75 Come out to mess around, it's about influence, it's about background

These people are planning an assassination operation, but the target of the assassination is not Shuangyue Niuwan but Xia Lin, the daimyo of Jiuli.

It was Kuri's daimyo who started to tarnish the name of the samurai, and inevitably became a thorn in the side of these people.The current Shuangyue Niuwan has such an idea entirely because of Guri. If this is the case, use the blood of Guri Daimyo to kill chickens and monkeys.

Anyway, the life and death of Kuri's daimyo will not have any impact on them. If something happens to Shuangyue Niuwan, it will be difficult for them, the underworld behind the bell, to gain a foothold.

"So, how about taking action at the end of this year and the beginning of the next year?" Someone suggested that they need a little time to prepare, but now there are still more than three months before the end of the year, in fact it doesn't take so long to prepare, but these The samurai in Wano country always want a sense of ritual.So time becomes very important.

It's as if some people always think about going to bed at the hour or the half hour, or they have to wait until the next week or the beginning of the next month before taking action or doing anything.

However, people with such an idea always find it difficult to persevere when encountering difficulties.In fact, if you really want to do something, it's best to do it right away, and start right away when you're ready.

However, the day when the old and the new alternate in a year is of great significance to them.

In fact, there is another festival that is more suitable for such an assassination operation, and that is the night of the fire festival.The fire festival night itself is held to commemorate the deceased. It is a festival for the dead to rest in peace and the living to be relieved.

But it is a pity that this year's fire festival night has passed.

It was May when Xia Lin went to sea, and it was almost August after returning, and the fire festival night was in late August.This year's fire festival night is the first fire festival night in Jiuli. In order to organize this festival, Xuezi and Keiko are busy, and even Yuriko is called to help.

Yuriko has a direction she is good at, and many etiquette and skills are handed over to her.

The entire fire festival night will be held continuously for a whole month. This month, the curfew of the people in Jiuli has been postponed to eleven o'clock in the evening. Before that, the lively night market will always be full of people.

People throughout Jiuli are celebrating this festival, and some people from other townships who have worked in Jiuli for a short time have not returned, and they have also integrated into this environment.

The joy of the night comes at the expense of the hours of the day.

During the time of the fire festival night, Jiuli people have holidays.Of course, the holiday will not be very long, only a few days, otherwise, if the work is suspended for a long time, there will be problems in various industries in the entire township.

Although the serious holiday is only a few days, in the following days, the daily working hours will be correspondingly reduced.Those who were supposed to work at seven in the morning were delayed for several hours.

Of course, these reductions in working hours are only for those who work part-time. For example, businessmen or farmers who run their own businesses do not have these rigid requirements.In other words, the fire festival night itself is a huge business opportunity, and no businessman is willing to let it go.

At the memorial ceremony, merchants and hawkers are needed to make the memorial ceremony lively. If they also rest, how can the memorial ceremony be held?

Strictly speaking, the fire festival night is not completely over yet, and the current fire festival night in Jiuli has come to an end.But it will take two or three days before this grand ceremony will really end.From this point of view, the night of the fire festival in Jiuli may be even more grand than the New Year.

After all, there is no such feeling at all in Jiuli, where there is only summer.

There are only a few days left for the memorial ceremony, and there is no time to plan anything.

"Then, it's decided like this. At that time, people from other towns will join us. Although the situation of those people is not as serious as ours, it seems that the daimyo over there also has the same consideration."

It can’t be said that all the daimyos of Wano Country are jerks. In fact, many of them can see righteousness and the people. It’s just that they didn’t dare to think about such things in the past. Now that they have the beginning of Kuri, they are naturally willing to give it a try.

The most important thing is that if it really succeeds, it will be able to strengthen the strength of their township, and it will not be controlled by others in many aspects.

Take Ximei as an example. Although Ximei has a lot of wasteland, as long as there is manpower to cultivate it, even if the land is less fertile, it can at least increase a lot of food production.

This is in the interests of Nozomi Daimyo, but not in the interests of those samurai.What kind of samurai would they pick up a sword if they were willing to farm?

Therefore, apart from the underworld forces in Huazhidu and Baiwu, the underworld forces in the other three townships have more or less the idea of ​​getting involved.

Involving so many forces is actually not only a matter of the status of the warriors, but also related to the survival of their gangsters.

Now everyone knows two things. The first thing is that there is no underworld in Kuri, but the law and order in Kuri is now the best in the entire Wano country; The highest in the country.

At the beginning, the merchants were very dissatisfied with the high taxes in Jiuli, but they gradually realized that there was no underworld, and Jiuli, with the highest taxation, gave them higher profits.

Compared with the protection fee paid every month, Jiuli's extra tax is nothing at all.

Those big names are not idiots, on the contrary they are actually very keen to discover the benefits of doing so.It can be said that it is completely on the basis of returning the part of the profit originally belonging to the underworld to the businessman, and taking another share for himself.

In this way, the financial revenue of the Daming Mansion has increased, and the income of the businessmen has increased, and only the world where the underworld has been injured appears.

Now due to the fact that the relationship between the underworld itself and the daimyo is unclear, there is friction and cooperation between the two parties, and even the personnel on both sides have many kinship relations, these daimyos have not immediately expressed concern about the underworld. shot.

However, if this development continues, even if the underworld will not be banned, their power will gradually shrink.

This is what these underworld leaders don't want to see.

In order to restore this situation, Nozomi, Usagi, and Suzugo's gangsters all planned to contribute to the assassination.

They were gangsters in the first place, fighting and killing was their serious job, no one thought it was wrong.Although what Guri Daimyo did did not directly touch their interests, the impact it brought was indeed very far-reaching.

Now that the two sides have become enemies, they decided to be more ruthless.

"You won't leave a handle?"

"Don't worry, it would be a terrible thing if a daimyo from other villages were assassinated, but the daimyo from Jiuli..." One of them smiled, "Juri's connections are too shallow. If you come out to mess around, you're talking about power , is the background!"

Chapter 76 The relationship between Izo and Kikunojo and Kozuki Oden

In the past, the Kuri daimyo who had no background, even if he was assassinated, no one would help him out.

Once Kuri's daimyo died, the people under his command were nothing to worry about, and Huazhidu would only try to find the murderer symbolically, but it was impossible to invest a lot.Even if they are found, it is difficult to really do anything to them.

At most, it is to find some scapegoats to plead guilty and let it go.

Even the people on top of finding the murderer may need their help from the underworld. At that time, it will be a thief calling for a thief.

Jiuli's daimyo is still too weak, and there is not much connection between Jiuli and other villages at all. Even if there are some transactions, it is impossible for others to do their best for him.

Maybe there are some big names who also expect Guri to fall and let them get a share.

It would be another matter if other daimyos were assassinated.The most typical examples are Shuangyue Kang's family and Shuangyue Niuwan. These two big names are both branches of the Shuangyue family. Although they are separated from each other, the blood relationship between them will not be severed.

Moreover, so many "Yue" ancestors in Wano Country are also inextricably linked. If one of these people is assassinated, the other daimyos and even generals will not stand idly by.

And even if the daimyo was assassinated, it would be difficult to destabilize the township they manage.In such a big family, not only the person who is the daimyo is capable, but there will be a successor soon to stabilize the situation.

But Kuri's daimyo doesn't seem to have any heirs now.

……

In the last few days of the fire festival night, the enthusiasm of the people who had been reveling for a long time has now dissipated a lot.

Festivals like this are always the most popular in the first few days. After a few days, many adults seldom go out at night after returning to work.Even though the start of the day was delayed, they also wanted to rest more at home.

Although Jiuli is rich, he still needs labor if he wants to survive.The people at the bottom are still working hard.

Although it was hard work, they were already very satisfied. Looking back on the past, the hell-like nine miles is still vivid in their minds. Now, as long as they work, they can eat and wear warmth, and even have some leisure time, which was something they never dared to think of before. A life like heaven.

You know, in other townships, those people at the bottom even live a life of begging.

Today's life is already something I didn't even dare to think about before, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Adults have to run around for the family, but the children in Jiuli don't have to think so much.These children have also survived in hardship before, but now they can play without worry.

The oldest child born after the establishment of Jiuli is only a few months old.

"Where are you going to play today?"

"I don't know. I've been playing goldfish and ninja games for several days." A few children walked on the street with candy apples or squid in their hands. Children's happiness is always very simple, even the most ordinary As long as there are several children together, they can happily play the game of fishing for a whole month.

But adults are different. As long as a person grows up, happiness will become a luxury.

But sometimes I feel a little tired and want to play something else.

"Kentaro has also gone home. The number of people is much smaller." One of them said.The dwindling number of people is the reason why they have not been able to lift their spirits recently.

"I can't help it. That guy has to go to work during the day, and it's going to be the planting season soon."

Farming has always been a very important activity in Guri. In Guri, people who are engaged in agriculture will not be looked down upon, and because a large amount of grain is exported to Nozomi, Rabbit Don and Suzuko, the income of farmers is actually very good.

"But hasn't Kentaro's field entered the agricultural holiday period recently?" Although they are children, they have come from that hellish age after all, and they are very clear about farming.

In order to ensure the fertility of the land, Xia Lin specially set the agricultural holiday period. During these months, no food can be grown. However, in order to ensure the livelihood of the farmers, there are many subsidies during the agricultural holiday period.

The period of agricultural rest is a good time for grazing, but the average farmer's family does not have many fields, and it is good enough to raise one or two sheep.Generally speaking, when the agricultural holiday period enters, the labor force of farmers will leave the village to find some short-term labor.

Originally, he wanted to open the sea ban so that these people could fish in the inland sea during the agricultural holidays, but the policy of the sea ban was promulgated by the general, and the ban cannot be lifted on a large scale, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

"It seems that he followed his father to work in Guantian." Another child said.

The number and size of the official fields are large, so that they can be cultivated in rotation, and labor is needed every moment.It is impossible to let the people of Tianling practice to cultivate the land professionally all year round. The best way is to invite ordinary farmers to do short-term labor.

"Yicang and Ju Zhicheng also left." A boy blushed regretfully.

Yizang and Ju Zhicheng are children they have never seen before, but they met this pair of "sisters" during the fire festival night.

The night of the fire festival is a very grand festival, so even those who went to the guardian forest to build large-scale projects took a few days off, and Mi Tian and others came back to celebrate the festival here for several days, almost killing them All the money earned was returned to the market.

Yi Zang and Ju Zhicheng, the two children, also came to Yingxiang Town to participate in the fire festival night. The two of them were originally from Bell Queen, but they could only watch other people having fun on the fire festival night.

This was the first time they really participated in the fire festival night, and they also met several children from Jiuli.

"Ah Zheng, don't you like them? Yizang or Ju Zhicheng?" Another child winked and said immediately.However, in their aesthetics, Yizang and Ju Zhicheng are indeed two very moving "beauties".

Yizang's face and expression should be more heroic, while Ju Zhicheng looks more gentle than ever. These two tall "women" are still the bodies of normal children.

"Stop, stop talking nonsense!" The boy named Ah Zheng blushed and retorted loudly.

"It's fine if you don't have one. It's better for Ah Zheng not to have any strange fantasies. I heard about a big event!" A person mysteriously lowered his voice, and gathered together as if they were plotting something.

"what!"

"I heard that Izo and Kikunosuke seem to be the daughters of the legendary Kozuki Oden." The child said.

"Really?" Someone exclaimed, "Haven't you heard that Kozuki Oden-sama has a child?"

"Well, it might not be children, but I did hear that someone saw them walking with Kozuki Oden-sama, maybe it was... a child bride..."

Chapter 77 Fireworks Festival

The children from Jiuli talked about irresponsible rumors, and then laughed. Only the child named Ah Zheng had a sad expression.

"By the way, I heard that on the last night of the fire festival night, there will be a very grand fireworks show."

"Fireworks show, what's that?" A child asked, he was born and bred in Jiuli, and he had never heard of fireworks before.Several other children also turned their heads to look at the person who spoke just now.

This child is the child of a businessman who came here from the Capital of Flowers to do business. He was also the one who said he had seen Mitian and Yizangju Zhicheng.

"Fireworks are, flames, very beautiful."

"What, I don't understand at all." Ah Zheng said angrily, he was still angry because of what he just said.

"Anyway, it's very beautiful. It exploded in the sky after a bang, like a glowing flower." The child couldn't explain why the firework was happening, so he could only stretch out his hand and make a very exaggerated look.

But even this is enough to make these Jiuli children who have never seen the world feel very much looking forward to it.

"I always feel that it is a very powerful thing. Sure enough, our daimyo is as great as Dad said!"

"I feel that our daimyo is even greater than Kozuki Oden-sama." Several other children echoed.

But this kid from the Flower City didn't think so, because he used to be from the Flower City, so he had a more sense of identification with Kozuki Oden, so he quickly denied it loudly, as if this could overwhelm other children like.

"I don't think so. Kozuki Oden-sama is the general's child, or is he greater?"

"That's not true, my father said it all, our name is greater!" Several other children quickly retorted vigorously.

"That's right, the general's children aren't great at all, are they?" Another child said, "Only our daimyo can make Kuri so good in this world."

After all, it was Xia Lin who changed this Jiuli. Whether it is the general or the general's son, when the people of this Jiuli are suffering, they are still busy enjoying themselves.

So they counted Xia Lin's deeds one by one.

"Our daimyo defeated the thieves, which is something that no one in the entire Wano country can do."

"Also let each of us have enough to eat!"

"..."

"Tell me, what did the general's son do?"

These words made the kid from Flower City speechless, he really couldn't find anything commendable about Kozuki Oden.It seems that when he lived in the Flower City, all he heard from adults was negative news about Kozuki Oden.

Making trouble everywhere, robbing civilian girls, cooking oden with dead people's bones, can these things be said and worshiped?

However, he still remembered one extraordinary thing.

"Master Kozuki Oden defeated the mountain god before, and the wild boar, which was bigger than the mountain, was cut in half!" He said hastily.

"Really?" Even Ah Zheng was taken aback.If this is the case, then the general's son is indeed very powerful.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the little friends, the child also became proud, and then began to recount the stories he had heard.

"How about it, is it true that Oden-sama is greater?"
