Yuan Shen: Demon God Recycling Expert in the Hall of Rebirth

After this battle, for more than ten days in a row, Shadow City refused to communicate with Niwa again.

Niwa also didn't bother to spoil her, and dealt with government affairs on his own.

He put all his energy into thinking, squeezed out all the potential of Daozu, and just now he was able to wipe out the monsters and give hope for Daozu's millions of people. How could he have time to cherish the memory of the dead?

What's more, Yuyu Chiyo is not his old friend.

However, after that battle, he also ordered Oujiezhong not to go all out to hunt down the ghost clan, but to follow the plan to wipe out all the monsters in Narugami Island to protect the coming autumn harvest.

Yuyu Chiyo was severely injured, and it was basically impossible to directly harm the people. There was no need to waste too many troops to encircle and suppress.After Okukatsu has cleaned up the entire Narugami Island, if he is lucky, he should be able to clean her up by the way.

The fate of this ghost clan is worthy of sympathy, but under the dark disaster, whose fate is not worthy of sympathy?

The hundreds of thousands of civilians killed and injured are not worthy of sympathy?Hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees don't deserve sympathy?Those warriors who died fighting for the country and the people don't deserve sympathy?

As the ruler of a country, Niwa knows very well that what he needs to do now is not to sympathize, but to do everything possible to help more people survive!

At the end of September, rice wife entered the autumn harvest.

Thanks to efficient management and the help of Fertile Fertility, even though the year was not so good, Daozawa still ushered in a bumper harvest.

Under Niwa's command, the shogunate army patrolled back and forth, and the bureaucrats organized the people to form a militia to patrol, ensuring that the autumn harvest would not be disturbed, and at the same time harvested a large number of prey such as forest pigs.

By the beginning of October, the autumn harvest work of the entire Narugami Island was completed, and the grains were returned to the warehouse.

According to the survey and statistics, although the harvested grain is not enough to repay the grain borrowed from various nobles, it will be no problem to feed millions of people until next year's summer grain harvest.

This made Niwa greatly relieved.

But at the same time, there was also bad news.

Scholars invited from Sumeru to teach how to use fertilizers found that the land on Narugami Island showed signs of pollution, although it was not too obvious.

This aroused Niwa's vigilance.

After inviting these scholars to go to the Jiujo Jinhouse for investigation, he finally came to a disturbing conclusion - the remains of the pitch-black monsters will indeed pollute the land!

"There are too many monster corpses near the Jiujo Jinya, and large-scale crystallization has already occurred. We temporarily call that pollutant 'crystallized bone marrow'. This kind of mineral is very harmful to the land. The Jiujo Jinya That piece of land may not be used for planting for hundreds of years." Xumi Scholars reported.

"What about Narugami Island?"

"The number of monsters on Narugami Island is relatively small, and the situation is relatively good, but the impact is still very obvious. We haven't found any good way to eliminate this impact. I think the most urgent task is to deal with the pollution on the side of the Kujo Jinya, Some of the soldiers in the garrison there have already become unwell..."

Niwa nodded, "What's your suggestion?"

"Burning is the best way, but what to burn and how to burn it, I haven't figured it out yet."

"I know what to do." Dan Yu stood up slowly, and said to the attendant, "Go, order Shen Liqing to find all the famous swordsmiths of Quan Dao's wife!"

Chapter 253 Mikage Furnace Heart and Raiden Five Legends

Inazuma's sword forging technique has existed in ancient times, and its roots all come from General Raiden, so it is also called the Five Legends of Raiden, and its names are Tianmu, Jingjin, Yixin, Baimu, and Qianshou.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, these five inheritances basically have a certain social status, at least at the level of a small landlord.

Tatara Sand has been the forging and smelting center of Daozuma for thousands of years.When the dark disaster happened this time, most of the swordsmiths in Raiden Five Legends lived in the Tadasha area and suffered a lot of shocks.

Fortunately, the Shenli family, who were in charge of protecting the swordsmiths, responded quickly and dispatched troops as quickly as possible to bring the swordsmiths back to Narugami Island, thus avoiding the large-scale loss of the swordsmiths.

Among the five families, Yi Xin Chuan was the one that suffered the most.This swordsmith family lost most of its family members and subordinate swordsmiths, leaving only the last direct bloodline, who was adopted by Jingjinshi, the head of the Jingjin lineage, by his side.

Therefore, in the end, there were only four heads of the swordsmith family who followed Shenli Daofeng to General Raiden's temporary presence on the outlying island.

Dan Lei's film Yu introduced the situation of stepping on the sand to the four people, and then took out a small piece of steel, and asked the attendants to pass it to everyone to watch in turn.

This piece of steel was smelted by the artisans who accompanied him under his guidance.

The smelting method of this material has been widely spread in later generations.It's not that Dao's wife's awareness of secrecy is not strong enough, but because refining corundum requires the use of crystallized bone marrow, a special product of Dao's wife, so even if others know the formula, it's useless.

Even if you can buy part of the crystallized bone marrow for small-scale refining, the cost will definitely be much higher than the cost of mass refining by Daozaoren using the Mikage furnace core in Tatara, and it is better to directly import corundum!

The Liyuedan family has been in the ore business for generations, so they naturally know about corundum, and have the formula of corundum in their collection.Niwa saw this formula when he was looking through the family library, and he remembered it in his heart, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

"I made this during my inspection in Tarasha. I tentatively named it 'steel jade'. The strength and toughness of this material are very suitable for forging swords. Do you know what the raw materials are for making it?"

The four shook their heads together.

"It's this." Niwa asked his attendant to hold a plate of ore in front of everyone.

The plate of ore is crystal-clear in color, but there are strange black lines and green light in it, which looks quite evil.

"Have you ever seen this kind of 'crystallized bone marrow'?"

The four of them looked at each other and bowed down, "Report to the general, I have seen you."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Niwa pointed to the patriarch of Tianmuliu.

"This kind of ore is produced in the mines of Bayun Island, but the quantity is rare. The ancestors of the ministers also tried to use this thing to smelt it, but they gave up after a rough trial, because the quantity of this kind of ore is too rare. , The cost of the test is too high." The Tianmu Liu patriarch kowtowed.

"Now it won't be anymore... On the battlefield of Kujo Jinya, this kind of thing is everywhere. You may not know that after a large amount of this kind of ore accumulates, it is easy to produce evil spirits. If it cannot be disposed of as soon as possible, the entire Shenwuzuoka area will be destroyed. to be affected."

Niwa said, got up and said: "Therefore, the task I entrusted to you is to find a way to turn waste into treasure, and find out a large number of smelting methods to convert this ore into corundum! At that time, corundum and swords will become We Daozuma’s flagship product for exporting foreign exchange! Transfuse blood for us continuously! Only in this way can Daozuma come out of the shadow of the dark disaster as soon as possible!”

The four hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

Niwa asked again: "Among your factions, how many swordsmiths are there now? Tell me one by one."

It was the head of the Tianmu School who bowed his head first and said: "There are 16 swordsmiths in my family, and more than 130 apprentices and craftsmen..."

"Wait? Carpenter slave?"

"Yes, there are some talented slaves among the slaves who can serve as assistants to swordsmiths... In fact, most of the apprentices are just from untouchables who don't even have a surname..."

Niwa was stunned upon hearing this.

In the previous life, most of the people in Japan did not have a surname. They only had a first name. The surname was the privilege of the nobles. It was not until the Meiji Restoration era that the government forced all the people to take a surname, and Japanese people had a surname on a large scale.This is why there are so many weird surnames in Japan.

I didn't expect Dao Wife to be like this...

As a modern person at heart, Niwa knows that slavery cannot liberate and develop productive forces, and it is impossible for a person who does not even have the most basic freedom to create excess value.

So he told Shenli Daofeng: "Mr. Shenli, you discuss with the ministers and draft a decree, saying that as long as you make a certain contribution to the shogunate, such as handing over a certain amount of grain, forging a certain amount of weapons and armor , you can redeem your freedom and have the rights of a commoner.”

Shenli Daofeng was slightly startled, "General, are you targeting everyone?"

Niwa nodded, "Take it out and discuss it first, and see who among the nobles object. For those who oppose it, tell them not to be afraid, and you can write me a letter to explain the reason."

Shenli Daofeng hurriedly bowed down, "I understand."

After giving this order, Niwa returned to the original topic, "By the way, let's talk about smelting and forging... There are quite a lot of crystallized bone marrow, and the original kind of master leads apprentices, and each family starts a furnace I am afraid that the forging method is not enough."

"I plan to use the original smelting workshop of Tatara Sand to transform it into a large-scale forging and smelting plant, and introduce Fontaine's advanced mechanical technology to create a furnace core that can quickly smelt crystallized bone marrow in large quantities."

"I have already sent people to Fontaine to contact related matters, but for forging and smelting, I still need a general manager. The five of you are the best knife makers in Daozuma. Who is willing to stand up and take this responsibility?"

The four looked at each other.

After a long time, it turned out that it was Ketsuru Sandaime Ketsumi who came out and said: "My lord general, I am willing to take on this task!"

Niyu's expression moved slightly, "Madam, managing the Tatara sand is a heavy responsibility, and you have to deal with the crystallized bone marrow every day, so it is inevitable that you will be affected by evil forces. You are a woman..."

Jing Jinshi paid homage again: "Ms. Mitsuyo, the general of the shogunate, is also a woman, so she can also lead the army and protect the country and the people? Why does the general think that a young girl is not suitable for this job!"

Seeing that she was determined, Dan Yu nodded and said: "In that case, I will leave the whole matter of the preparation of the Tatara Sand Workshop to you! Well done, I will confer a title on you, if you can't do well..."

Jing Jinshi was stunned and said: "If you don't do well, you won't bother the General to punish you. The little girl will kill herself to thank the General!"

"Okay! Audacity is better than a man!" Niwa strode forward and helped her up, "Since this is the case, I will follow three strategies with you. If you follow these three strategies, there is at least a [-]% chance of success in this job!"

"Please show me, General!"

Niwa looked into her eyes and said sincerely: "First, seek the advice of professionals in everything. I will invite Xumi scholars and Fontaine craftsmen for you. You can't use it as a display!"

"Secondly, stimulate everyone's enthusiasm. If you can teach a hundred skills, don't just teach 99. You need to know that skills can only be improved and have vitality if more people study together."

"Third, pay attention to the infestation of evil spirits, and keep in touch with the shogunate doctors!"

Chapter 254 Liyue's New Situation (Extra)

"I disagree with this plan."

In the meeting room of Yuehai Pavilion, Ning Guang put down the plan in his hand and shook his head slowly.

"This plan is indeed a bit risky, but the risk is controllable. Besides, if it can be realized, Guili New City can start operating a whole year earlier. I think it is worth taking a little risk." Opposite Ning Guang, Ke Qing said firmly.

Ning Guang still shook his head, "I believe you are sure, Yu Heng Xing, but the problem is that you stretched the string too tightly and used all your manpower and material resources to the limit, leaving no room for much. In case something unexpected happens..."

Keqing interrupted her unceremoniously, "Tianquanxing, you should come to Guili New City to see the spirit of everyone. In the past year, we have broken many records. At least two and a half years of work has been completed in one year!"

"There are the precise calculations and wonderful command of Xumi engineers, the hard work and continuous summary of each worker, and the brave fighting and due diligence of the Qianyan Army and the Foreign Legion."

"At the end of the day, all Liyue people, all those who fight for Liyue, have believed that the struggle of people can change the world."

"What I want to do is not only to build a city, but also to build confidence in the new era for Liyue!"

After listening to her words quietly, Ningguang asked calmly: "Then Yuhengxing, have you ever thought about what if you fail? If miracles cannot be achieved, people are likely to be frustrated, and even ordinary things can't be done." Done, don't you worry about that?"

"I admit that your plan has a lot of benefits, and the risk is worth it, but the question is why do we take the risk? It won't have much impact if the Guili New City is built a year later, but if it fails, the impact will be great. This is We can't accept that."

Seeing the stalemate between the two, the participants turned their attention to other senior officials at the Jiuyao level, but Uncle Tian remained silent, and Gan Yu was only responsible for recording as usual.

Ning Guang and Ke Qing also noticed this, and couldn't help turning their eyes to the vacant seat at the same time.

That was Niwa's seat.

Usually, if the two disagree, Niwa will usually make the final speech, usually able to persuade the two, or reach a compromise, or simply put forward a better suggestion.

It's a pity that this Dinghaishen needle went to Daozuma on a business trip...

At this time, Ke Qing really missed this bad guy, although he always made her teeth itch when he supported Ning Guang, but the proposals he put forward could always make everyone reach a consensus, avoiding wasting too much time arguing.

Miss Keqing is not an unreasonable person, even if she will inevitably teach him a few lessons afterwards, she will still reward him and eat his cooking.

After a subconscious glance, she and Ning Guang met their eyes again, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Ningguang squeezed the center of her eyebrows, "The old rules, Jiuyao votes. If the vote is the same, the Eight Gates and the General Affairs Department will vote again."

Sure enough, the first round of voting was tied, and in the second round, Keqing narrowly won by one vote.

Ning Guang was not too disappointed, nodded and said: "In this case, let's follow Yu Hengxing's plan. I will make a little suggestion and make a few more plans."

Ke Qing nodded and said: "I will."

Ning Guang immediately signed the official document and handed it to Gan Yu for filing, then said: "Next topic."

……

When the meeting finally ended, Ke Qing realized that it was already past 9 pm.

As soon as she got up, she felt that her stomach was being scratched, and she couldn't help moaning softly.

"Fortunately, Xiangling left me food..." She thought happily.

Before leaving Liyue, Dan Yu asked Xiangling to take care of Keqing's diet as much as possible, after all, this girl's stomach is not very good.

Therefore, every time Keqing returned to Liyue Port, Xiangling would always cook for her and keep it hot on the stove.Anyway, with the current business scale of Wanmintang, it really sells from lunch to supper, and there will be no shortage of firewood.

At this moment, Ke Qing saw Gan Yu who was also full of exhaustion, and immediately stepped forward to say hello, "Gan Yu, haven't you eaten yet? Come with me to Wanmintang to eat!"

Gan Yu hesitated, "But Wanmintang's dishes are too strong, I'm a little..."

Keqing hugged her arm casually, "Don't worry, Xiangling has developed Mond's salad, which is seasoned raw vegetables. You can adjust the flavor yourself."

Gan Yu's soft girl character is obviously not very refusal, so she was dragged away by Ke Qing immediately.

Today's Liyue Port is several times more prosperous than a year ago. Even after nine o'clock in the evening, the road is still full of pedestrians, so that the main road leading to Chihuyan has to restrict the entry of horse-drawn carriages.

Looking at the crowd in front of her, Gan Yu suddenly said to Ke Qing: "I voted for your proposal today."

Ke Qing turned her head to look at her, she knew that Miss Yeyang would not flatter others, there must be a reason for doing so.

Sure enough, Gan Yu smiled softly and said, "I think if Guili New City doesn't get up and running quickly and divert people there, there will be a serious safety accident in Liyue Port sooner or later."

Ke Qing looked stunned, and agreed: "You are so right. Liyue is full of opportunities now, and there are more and more merchants from the Seven Kingdoms every day, and the number of workers from Xumi seems to be almost 30..."

"Because of the policy promulgated by the General Affairs Department, it is very difficult for young people in Liyue to find a partner for Liyue..."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because one of the husband and wife is from Liyue, they can obtain Liyue nationality. Liyue's young people are now very sought after by people from other countries. Those with a family fortune of less than one million moras are embarrassed to enter the marriage market..."

"Who did you hear?"

"Yanfei! She has a lot of business in this area recently. According to her, even the widow Liyue in her 30s with children is very popular. It is very common to be pursued by more than a dozen people..."
