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

Ke Qing's eyes straightened when she heard this, but she soon showed a narrow smile, "What about you? Is there anyone chasing you?"

Gan Yu smiled wryly and shook his head, "Our senior officials at the Jiuyao level still have a higher standard, not to mention that I've been very busy recently, and there are very few opportunities to see the sun, and I have to go back all night after dinner... ..."

Ke Qing was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, "But your assistant team already has 12 people!"

Gan Yu sighed: "But before your family Ni Yu left, he also handed over part of his work to me..."

Ke Qing stopped talking immediately.

She knew that although Niwa's workload was not very heavy, the difficulty of the work was quite high, and some things could not even be handled by the liver alone.

"That guy's job is really not easy... He has been in Dao's wife for almost two months, why hasn't he come back..." Ke Qing couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

"To be exact, it's 55 days." Gan Yu corrected, and soon blushed again and waved her hands, "I didn't mean that... I really hope that he will come back soon, so that I can take an extra hour of nap time It's also good..."

Ke Qing was amused by her expression and burst out laughing, "Don't worry, when he comes back, I will settle the score with him for you!"

Chapter 255 New Year and hidden dangers

Time is gradually entering winter.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the situation in Inazuma has finally begun to develop on the positive side.

With the huge prestige accumulated in stabilizing the chaotic situation and the taxes accumulated in the autumn harvest, Niwa's series of reforms were successfully implemented.

The decree to abolish the private soldiers of the nobles was carried out very smoothly, and the private armed forces of all the families were compressed to less than a hundred people, and they could only guard the house and guard the courtyard.

At the same time, the obligation of the nobles to lead troops to fight with the general was also cancelled, and it was changed to pay military expenses.

After witnessing the horror of monsters, many nobles wished to cut off their private soldiers. After all, raising private soldiers is not only more expensive, but also has the obligation to follow the general to go to war if you raise too many private soldiers.

That being the case, it is better to pay a protection fee to the shogunate and outsource the defense.

It's not that no one thought that handing over their private soldiers would make them powerless to fight against the shogunate government's orders, but the wisdom and strength of the general in the battle at Kujo Jinwu had completely conquered them.

Almost all the nobles secretly speculated that the gods are really not so easy to fool. It turns out that the world is peaceful and everyone can be used to it. When the situation is urgent, just use a little bit of divine power, and it really is not something that ordinary people can resist...

Do not believe?Takahashi Quan's grave has not yet grown grass!

The obedience of the nobles gave Niwa enough resources to implement a policy of elite soldiers.After expanding the shogunate's regular army to 5000 sailors, [-] infantry, and [-] Okuma, Niwa stopped expanding the army.

With Daozuma's current productivity, it is already the limit to support such a professional army.

Soon after, Guangdai also sent a military report. Based on the [-] shogunate army, she has reorganized [-] militiamen from Haizhi Island, and has formed a strong combat effectiveness.The monsters near Haizhi Island have been completely cleaned up, and she asked to lead troops to gradually clean up Bayun Island.

Niwa approved this request, and gave her a warrant that the Haizhi islanders were allowed to immigrate and reclaim the land of Haiji Island cleared up by the Haiji Island side. As long as [-]% of the reclaimed land was turned over to the shogunate, and taxes were paid according to the laws formulated by the shogunate Three years later, the shogunate recognized the ownership of the land by the pioneers.

It is not that Niwa did not fail to be questioned by the nobles of Inazuma. However, the reality is that, no matter in terms of the number of surviving refugees or the strength of the shogunate itself, the Inazuma shogunate will not be able to recover Yazuma Island within 3-5 years. To resume production.

That being the case, it is better to let the sea islanders handle it, which can not only compress the living space of monsters, but also provide an extra income for the shogunate.

As for the issue of occupying the land, there are only more than 30 Haizhi islanders today, and even if all the people are soldiers, they can't occupy the entire Balong Island!

So after adding a five-year period to this land reclamation order, the order was finally passed smoothly and promulgated.

As soon as this order came out, the Haizhi islanders who were desperately eager to obtain fertile land suddenly fell into madness, and the camp of Guangdai was quickly crowded with those who signed up to join the army.

For a time, Haizhi Island was full of vigor and vitality, and everything was competing to develop...

As for the power of the Inazuma Shogunate, most of it was devoted to the vicinity of Narugami Island and Tatara Sand.

After cleaning up Narugami Island, the shogunate army sent a good news and a bad news.

The good news is that after this cleanup, there are very few monsters in the wild on Narugami Island, and they will no longer pose a threat to the daily production and life of the people on Narugami Island.

The bad news is that through some space cracks that appear from time to time, monsters are still breaking into Narugami Island.This means that there will be no end to this campaign.

At the same time, during the construction of the Tatara Sand Smelter, Niwa also discovered that the remains of monsters had indeed had a very serious impact on the land.

In order to keep the land near the Jiutiao Zhenwu from being polluted, he had to use the Thunder God's Heart to clean the land repeatedly with the element of thunder, and then neutralized the pollution to the point that normal people could bear it.

However, this land has also been impregnated with the power of the thunder element, and the plants have undergone irreversible mutations, and can no longer be used for agricultural cultivation.

With the help of the Fontaine people, the construction of Mikage Furnace also began to advance smoothly.

Prior to this, Ketsumi led the knifesmiths to try to refine several furnaces of corundum using traditional methods, which also brought good news and bad news.

The good news is that the performance of corundum is very good, which can improve the quality of Inazuma's sword by a level.

The bad news is that calcining crystallized bone marrow will also produce pollution, and the concentration of pollution is not low, which will affect the health of workers.

Niwa had no choice but to order that the team building Mikage Furnace Heart should find a way to solve the pollution problem as soon as possible.

In this kind of busyness, time gradually came to the end of the year.

New Year is coming.

It wasn't until this moment that Niyu realized that it had been more than half a year since he was slashed by Ying Yidao, and his main mission - to go home, still had no clue...

Finally, after accepting congratulations from all his subjects at the New Year's Court Meeting, Niwa tried to contact Kage again.

Ever since he cut Miyu Chiyo, Kage has been hiding in his dreams and shutting himself up in his heart, completely ignoring Nashita's call, which seems to be a tendency of Diecalapianization.

This made Niwa can't help complaining in his heart, the demon god who masters the power of space always has a natural advantage in "house".

A few minutes after the consciousness connection was sent, Nashita shook his head at Niwa, the cat's eyes were full of helplessness.

"Tsk... How grown up, you still play childish temper..." Niwa complained helplessly, "Nasida, can you make sure that she can hear the message?"

Nashida nodded.

"You tell her, I'm going to go out for a private visit today to see the living conditions of the Daozu people. If she still has a little bit of self-awareness as the god of thunder, please listen to it with me... After all, she is the god of thunder, and she can't always Be a hands-off shopkeeper!"

Nashita nodded again, closed her eyes and lay on the ground for a while, and then came the consciousness, "She agreed."

"Then get ready to go!"

Soon, Niwa changed into an ordinary noble lady's attire, and specially found a city maiden hat, and covered her overly distinctive face with a translucent hanging silk.

Nashita Meow still took off his clothes with ease and slipped into his arms.

"Do you have any plans?" Nasida asked in Morse code, stepping on the milk skillfully.

Niwa said as he walked, "Is there a survey plan? Well... since it is to survey the living conditions of the people, it is natural to take into account all classes, occupations and identities, soldiers, farmers, craftsmen, merchants, refugees, locals, handicraftsmen... ..."

"Why don't you stop talking, Maomao is dizzy..." Naxida complained.

"I didn't tell you that."

"I'm dizzy, let alone her, maybe she's already fainted by now."

"makes sense……"

After several months, Yumeng Shinshin hummed angrily again in Niwa's hands.

Niwa and Nashita looked at each other and smiled.

Chapter 256

Leaving the Shogun, Niwa first came to Shimonoseki on the outskirts of the outlying island.

This is the only passage for Narugami Island to enter and leave the outlying islands.

As soon as you approach this passage, the scene of heavy traffic comes into view.

The long convoys lined up in two rows, one row in and one row out, continuously going back and forth between Narugami Island and outlying islands.

Just a few months ago, Daozuma was still facing a total economic collapse, and the foreign trade of the outlying islands was almost interrupted. However, as we can see today, exquisite lacquerware, knives, folding fans, and medicinal materials that are special products of Daozuma are continuously transported to the outlying islands, while imports from Grain, cloth, fertilizer, even silk and wine from abroad were continuously transported to Narugami Island.

In the constant traffic, both businessmen and guys were all red-faced, chatting and laughing happily.

The passage through the island pass is very efficient without any obstruction.

This is because Niwa has redesigned the customs clearance method and brought all the customs declaration processes together through the establishment of the Yuanguo Supervisory Division.

The transport team only needs to hold the documents issued by the Supervision Department of the Far Country to clear the customs, and even pass the customs before declaring, because there is still a review for the goods on and off the ship.

Improving efficiency not only brought convenience to merchants, but also increased the tax revenue of the shogunate in disguise.

Niwa didn't look much, and left the outlying island on his own, and came to the original refugee camp on the outskirts.

It's already empty here.

As early as after the autumn harvest, Niwa arranged for the relocation of refugees.The seaside is too cold in winter, and letting refugees spend the winter here is tantamount to murder.

During the previous resettlement, more than half of the refugees had already been scattered and resettled in various farms, so the relocation work this time was not too difficult.

Most of the people stranded on the outlying islands were the old and the weak, as well as the families of craftsmen and dock workers.

Under Niwa's order, the shogunate army escorted the old and weak stranded here to various farms to reunite with their families. The craftsmen were resettled by category to Inazuma Castle, the dormitory areas of various workshops or Tatara sand, and the dock workers moved in. Newly expanded residential complex.

After inspecting around and confirming that all the refugee camps had been dismantled and no one was stranded, Niwa walked into the outlying island with satisfaction, bought a few New Year's goods, and then turned to the newly expanded residential area on the outlying island.

The houses here are still relatively simple, basically built with rammed earth, similar to the dry bases used when New China developed the Daqing Oilfield.

This kind of house has thick walls and small space, and the ventilation and lighting are not good enough, but the advantages are fast construction, low cost and excellent thermal insulation performance.

You know, Inazuma’s winter is actually not too cold, the temperature is basically above zero, and it’s only because of the high humidity that it makes people uncomfortable, and dry base can withstand the low temperature of minus [-] to [-] degrees in the previous life!

This newly built residential area is divided into a dozen communities, each with about 3000 people, and the internal roads are level.

All the communities have been strictly planned, and public service facilities such as supply and marketing cooperatives, vegetable markets, bathhouses, and clinics have been set up in the center, and a security station dedicated to Tianling has been set up to maintain public order.

In addition to the simple and weird architectural styles, the construction here is even more scientific than the town streets of Inazuma Castle, and life is more convenient.

It was the New Year's Eve, and the wharf was on holiday. The workers went home to reunite with their families, and every household was filled with cooking smoke, exuding the aroma of wine and meat.

Although the days are still a bit tight, the New Year still has to be celebrated after all, so Niwa ordered a few days ago to release a batch of salted fish and bacon stored during the autumn fishing and hunting, as well as the level of wine in the storehouse, to ensure that rice Wives and people will not live too shabby this year.

According to the returns pursued by the society, this policy is indeed effective.

In the first half of the year, the Daoqi people, who were still in jeopardy, couldn't believe that they could live a year full of wine and meat. The whole country was full of joy and enthusiasm. There were even a large number of craftsmen who didn't even want to take the three-day annual leave. So he continued to work, vowing to contribute to recovering Dao's wife's lost land.

Just like this, Niwa carried the New Year’s goods, striding calmly along the spacious and straight community roads. From time to time along the way, he could see children playing and running past, as well as Tianling, who patrolled in groups of five.

He made seven turns and eight turns along the road, and soon came to the door of a certain family in the community.

The dry base of this family is no different from that of other houses, only a few evergreen trees are planted in old clay pots and placed at the door, adding a breath of life to the decaying winter.

Niwa confirmed the house number, then reached out and knocked on the door.

It was a middle-aged woman who opened the door, who was a little wary of Dan Yu who was covering her face with a hanging silk.

Niwa lifted the silk at the right time, frightened the woman so much that she wanted to bow down, but he held her up.

"Don't be too polite, and don't say anything. I just came to see you."

The woman had no choice but to welcome Niwa into the door tremblingly.

The house is a bit cramped, but it is very clean, and there is a vase with fresh wild daisies on the dining table.There is a small shrine on the wall of the main hall, in which three spiritual tablets are enshrined, on which are written "the spiritual tablet of Yamashita Daofu", "the spiritual tablet of Yamashitarou", and "the spiritual tablet of Yamashitarou".

At this time, a child about three years old suddenly ran out of the back room, watching Niwa biting his fingers in a daze.

A young woman called softly and chased after her. When she saw Niwa, her hands and feet trembled with fright, and she was at a loss.

Dan Yu put down the gift in his hand, first added three sticks of incense to the shrine respectfully, then smiled at the young woman, found a box of flower candies from the gift, and beckoned the child to eat.

The child looked at his mother hesitantly. Seeing that his mother had no objection, he stumbled forward to take the candy and stuffed it into his mouth. His eyes were soon so sweet that he narrowed his eyes.

Niwa touched the child's head, smiled and asked the middle-aged woman, "Has Sanlang not come back yet?"

The middle-aged woman replied respectfully: "Report to the general, Saburo is on duty to patrol the streets today, and he won't be back until noon."

Niwa waved his hand and said: "Don't be so nervous... I smelled the fragrance just now when I entered the door, Mrs. Ueko is a good craftsman. Can I bother you at your house at noon today?"

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said respectfully: "I'm afraid the food is poor, and the general has been neglected..."

"If a family of heroes like yours, the New Year's lunch is still simple, it is my dereliction of duty."

"Don't dare dare... General, please wait a moment, the woman will go to prepare food."

"No special preparation is required, I will eat whatever you eat."

"This……"

"This is an order from the general."

"Yes……"

Soon, the middle-aged woman returned to the kitchen to work.The young woman offered Niwa a cup of tea and hurried back to help.

Only then did Niwa look at Dream Isshin on the table, and explained in a low voice: "This is a military family, strictly speaking, it is a military family of heroes."
