side: Kuyuan Yima

On this day of settling back in Ozhang, the members who went to Kanto had been rewarded by Shinsu for the battle against Rimi.

Naturally, I didn't get a territory, so the reward becomes money and stuff, not land. The basics are silver or money, but there are also weapons in gold liquor, clear liquor, etc.

I know I didn't aim for anything else, but at this rate, you're going to want to settle the reward with something other than land.

As for us, Nobunaga still rewarded me with silver and copper. That's right. You can't reward our liquor.

"Young lady, Kuyuan Hall. This..."

"So we build a new ship."

That and just because Saji had also come to Qingzhou to get a reward, he decided to consult with Shinsu and Nobunaga to give them the cost of building a new ship apart from the reward.

I have heard that Mr. Sage will build a new ship, but the economic power of the Sage Navy does not make it that easy. We haven't even been able to make the Krabby River harbor. As things stand, we should actively help build ships in the Sage Navy, right?

"I think we've also figured out the good and bad things about new and modified ships. Modified ships will be the limit of operations offshore such as Ise Bay. The cost will be paid by the Oda family, so please build more and more new ships."

The modified ship was going to Kanto on the assumption that we would maximize backup. In the future, offshore navigation would not be possible if the Sage Navy operated on its own initiative.

There were rumors in Kanto about a black fleet with no enemies, but the truth was too much.

"That and the construction of a major part of Krabby Harbor, because I just want to do it in this territory. I'd like you to dispatch the manpower and feet that we talked about before."

"I don't mind the matter..."

"This is a bill guaranteeing denominated money. In the meantime, it is something I intend to try in Ozhang. It's like an exclusive symbol in Oda territory."

I decided to give Mr. Sage the previously prototyped Consistent and Ten Consistent bills, not cash.

After that, I discussed it with Shinsu and the others, and made it by adding a street number to the bill and a two-year exchange deadline.

Those who could handle it were also allowed to do so by the Oda family, and the redemption was limited to our Tsushima, Hota, and Naguno mansions. Convenience will fall considerably, but it will be just right for testing bills. Shin-soo's lack of a redemption location in Qingzhou needs to be considered.

Although the basics were limited to designated merchants within the territory of Oda, permission was granted to congregations that had dealings with the Roundhouse in Osaka. We also made some money available for redemption, and the Oda family decided to lend it to us if necessary when we ran out of money.

Honestly, I've supplied quite a bit of copper money to Oatsu over the past year, but there's still a situation going on that's not enough. Naturally, but you want quality copper coins everywhere.

It also flows to Kichinai, and also to Imawa and Kanto via Mino, Ise, and Migawa. However, we need to be careful here that there will be no one out there who tries to melt quality copper coins and rebuild them into crude coins to increase their currency.

Well, as things stand, there are only a few things we can do outside Oda territory. We're short on currency. We'll have to build it.

"That and the training of sailors, please, because I want to continue to do so jointly. I'll train you on our ship."

"That's good. After all, we are still immature. If you can train with me, I'd appreciate it."

The problem with the Navy went to Kanto and revealed a lot. The limitations of the modified vessels and the lack of training of the Sage Navy, such as the fact that they did not eat the rationed food as set here.

We have to work them out one by one, right?

"Wow. Is this the new potato field?"

I wonder how this happened. Nobunaga invited everyone to enjoy digging potatoes because it was time. But for some reason, Shinsu, Shinko and Shinan even came here.

I wonder if we're all free. Somehow it changes the image of the warlords, doesn't it?

"Yes, we all dig around the stems gently ~"

Exactly. All the residents are nervous, but the kids don't really care. They're fine. Shinsu and the others follow Lily's instructions and when they mix with the kids and dig the dirt, they gently pull the spreads to harvest. Nobunaga's people are too familiar, and the others are the most confused, though.

"Hmm. Is this the new potato?"

"You're a potato of color like a bean. Yummy?

"Uh, that's not good when it's raw."

When gobbles and potatoes are dug out from large to small, the children and the inhabitants cheer with joy.

Shinsu and the others were looking at the potatoes they dug out intriguingly, but Shinsu tried to grab the little potatoes while they were raw, so we need to stop them.

"What's your name?

"Er. Especially...... It was found on a continent far east."

I hear you're talking about Elle and it's still not even clear about Satsuma, is it? Sweet potatoes. So let's have Shinsu give us a name.

"Hmm. Try it before you decide"

"Heh heh. I thought you said that and I'm getting ready ~"

Hi Lily seems to have harvested a little ahead of time for today and already had her ready for a tasting. Sweet potatoes taste better than just harvested.

But you all came here wanting a new potato. My expression changed when I found out I was getting ready for a tasting. You don't have to rush to give it to me.

The menu is a stone-baked potato with stone in a pan and steamed.

"Whew!"

"How sweet is this!?

"Sounds like a treat!

"Nanny, it's delicious!

Shinsu eats hot baked potatoes, but I'm smiling at how she eats alongside the kids.

I eat it huffy because it's hot and this is delicious again when I drink warm wheat tea! Baked potatoes don't have any moisture. A refreshing cup of tea goes well together.

The variety is, of course, the sweet and easy breed of the future. It can help combat hunger and it can be sweet. I want to spread the word all over the country.

"Hmm. How about a little bean potato? The colors are similar, sweet and delicious."

"That would be nice"

Shinsu, who had eaten baked potatoes under the autumn sky and was thinking of his name, often spoke of the name troubled bean potatoes. Is it because the skin colors were similar?

In this world, the name Sweet Potatoes may not be popularized and settled. I have a feeling they're going to call me a bean potato or a tail potato. Even if Satsuma's Shimazu gets it, he'll keep it as secret as a historical fact.

"I didn't know this would also help combat hunger..."

"We don't need much water, and we'll grow on skinny land."

The look on Shinsu's face becomes serious when she learns that it will not only be sweet and delicious but also combat hunger. Oozhong also has water damage and famine is not other personnel.

"The question is, don't let another country steal it."

"I just have to choose where to make it"

"A better place for not many people to come"

Seeing the kids cheek the potatoes looking delicious, Shinsu and the others will seriously consider mass-producing the bean potatoes. If I were to plant it, I might as well plant it on the Chita Peninsula or something.

There's no river over there, so the water's the problem. It's not like there's a street or anything, so people rarely go by road, right?

Because potatoes that are easy to produce and preserve are also suitable for use as military food, they cannot be spread to other countries.

At the very least, we need to make sure that Ogi never causes famine.

――――――――――――――――――

Soybean potatoes or tail potatoes.

It is now a bean potato, a vegetable available all year round, but its history will be the first in Japan to be brought in by Kuyuan Ichima in ancient astronomy seventeenth year.

According to the records, Ming, a continental country, was also a substitute that had not yet been passed on at that time, and the Kuyuan family supposedly obtained it on its own route.

There are theories about the route to get it. There are also materials that say that there has been interaction with the current continent of Yamato, and your route is powerful. However, it also seems that there was some interaction with the Polynesian region, which is said to be your route.

Oda bills.

The oldest exchange note in Japan that exists is the Oda bill. The issue was made by the Kuyuan family and is said to have been issued to compensate for the inconvenience and shortage of metal currency.

Originally, the issuance of an exchange called a quota dates from the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, but the de facto banknotes guaranteeing an exchange for money appear to be the first in Japan.

The concept of Oda bills presumably mimicked Ming, which was a developed country at the time, but the multi-colored printed bills in wooden printing are technically extracted when compared to the standards of the time.

Probably to prevent counterfeiting, but it is said that it was rarely valued as a work of art in part by the good work done, which is a major reason for the physical presence to this day. It is also believed that it became a kind of status of a merchant involved in the trade of the Oda family by being a bill with an exchange deadline but continuing to be in possession.

Combined with the idea of the design and the fact that the producer of the original edition is Kurumi Merti, the ancestor of Japanese Western art, it is also famous that in modern times a single bill of first issue was priced in hundreds of millions of units.

It is also rumored that the original version still remains in the Kuyuan family, but the truth is uncertain.
