Chapter 126 See You Again
"Hmm~" Ren Lian Lingyi touched his chin and fell into deep thought. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to send scholars to Haiqi Island. After all, the people of Haiqi Island only cared about eating and not fighting. Who knew when those pirates who had just settled down would go out to sea again.
But not sending them is not an option. After all, Kaigi Island is still part of Inazuma after all. Not sending them will not only seem petty, but will also allow the rebel forces on Kaigi Island to rise faster.
But sending them would not work either, after all, there are quite a lot of scholars. If they were sent, the shogunate's military force on Kaigi Island could not guarantee the scholars' safety. Of course, the most crucial point is that the shogunate's mass base on Kaigi Island is not very good.
Unlike Qinglai Island, the shogunate already had a good foundation on Qinglai Island. Now the situation has been completely stabilized, and the shogunate has also provided relevant subsidies there. After all, the quality of the Mingcao and Tianyuncao grown on Qinglai Island is really too high. After meeting the basic material needs of self-satisfaction, the things grown here are basically various medicinal herbs with thunder attributes.
The shogunate also agreed to allow the other party to use these medicinal herbs to offset taxes. For the shogunate, the taxes collected from these medicinal herbs are much higher than simple grain taxes. Qinglai Island has also made a lot of money from these medicinal herbs over the years. With so much money earned, naturally no one is willing to go out and become a pirate. This is also the reason why the number of pirates on Qinglai Island has decreased in recent years.
Since no one from Qinglai Island goes out to sea, and the people from Haiqi Island dare not go out to sea, the number of pirates has naturally decreased sharply, which has also made Inazuma's shipping routes more prosperous in recent years.
But the fact that Qinglai Island is fine does not mean that Haigi Island will be fine too. Haigi Island is like a powder keg now, and who knows when it will explode.
Ren Lian Lingyi felt a bit of a headache when he thought about this. Sometimes he really wanted to kill all those people from Haigi Island.
"We can't proceed completely according to the original plan. After all, who could have imagined the current situation on Kaigi Island?"
However, in the end they only came up with a solution that was not a solution, which was divided into two aspects. The first aspect was to narrow the target of protection and reduce the number of scholars sent to Kaigi Island. The other was to seek assistance and cooperate with the forces of the gods and priestesses in the Coral Palace of Kaigi Island to jointly send soldiers and warriors to protect the safety of those scholars.
The final decision was to send six groups of thirty elite scholars to Haigi Island to help them improve their agricultural and fishery environments.
Of course, the main thing is to optimize the fishery environment. After all, to be honest, the agricultural environment of Haiji Island does not make much difference whether it is improved or not. It still depends on the Three Realms Road Feast.
…
One month later, we left the island.
The cold sea breeze could not stop the bustle here. The samurai of the Kanjo Bugyo were patrolling and collecting taxes on the outlying islands. Because it was early morning, the thick fog on the sea had not yet completely dissipated.
In the distance, several large ships suddenly appeared in the fog.
After the ship entered the port, a group of people came out from the ship management office.
"Bona, my friend, it's been a long time since we last met." Ren Lian Lingyi laughed and hugged Bona.
"You old thing, you really look much older." Ren Lian Lingyi sighed as he looked at Bona.
"I am extremely envious of you immortal species in this regard." Bona said with a smile, but he was only envious in words. He was very open-minded about things like death.
He looked much older after he retired from the position of Great Sage.
Ren Lian Lingyi once hinted to him that he wanted to, saying that if he wanted, he could be reincarnated into an elemental creature, but the old man refused.
The others beside Ren Lian Lingyi went to meet the scholar representatives this time.
Bona wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ren Lian Lingyi.
"It would be uncomfortable for others if we two stayed here." Ren Lian Lingyi pointed at the warriors and scholars who didn't dare to speak loudly and said, "Let's go and catch up first. I've already reserved a full mushroom meal for you."
"Even I have heard of the Inazuma mushroom meal in Sumeru."
"Hey~ Actually, we both have eaten the predecessor of this mushroom meal." Ren Lian Lingyi said with a smile.
"Oh~ Are you talking about the fried mushrooms?" Bona obviously still remembered the mushroom set meal they enjoyed together that year.
“After the old owner died, I bought the store. After several decades of development, the ultimate fungus delicacy, the full mushroom meal, was formed.” Ren Lian Lingyi said with a smile.
"That's something I really need to savor." Bona said, "But my body..."
A flash of lightning flashed in Ren Lian Lingyi's eyes.
"Hiss~ so cool." Bona exclaimed.
Ren Lian Lingyi directly gave Bona a temporary physical enhancement. It was not that he didn't want a permanent one, but Bona's body couldn't bear it.
"Well, let's go."
"Walk!"
The two men left in a hurry, leaving behind the confused warriors and scholars. Bona followed Ren Lian Lingyi through twists and turns and arrived at a small courtyard.
There are already more than a dozen chefs busy here, and Raiden Shin, Rai Diandian, Kitsune Saigiya, Renren Anzi, Ki Chiyo and the little fox Yae Kamiko are also here.
When the chefs saw Ren Lian Lingyi, they quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to the Lord God and to the scholar Bona."
These chefs are all from Renlian Island.
Bona did not discover the true identities of Lei Dianzhen, Lei Dianying and others, because they are still shrouded in magic to confuse others. Well~ In fact, this is mainly done to avoid affecting the performance of these chefs.
Bona recognized the identity of Ren Lian Anzi, and they nodded to each other.
"Bona, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Aying, and this is her sister Azhen. These are my colleagues, and this is Xingzi, whom you also know."
It didn't take long for the chefs to prepare the mushrooms and start serving the dishes.
Ren Lian Lingyi also started chatting with Bona, mainly to confirm with Bona the power situation on Xumi's side and whether he needed to adjust his plan.
The result was good. Ren Lian Lingyi did not misjudge the situation in Xumi. After talking about the situation in Xumi, Bona also expressed his gratitude to Ren Lian Lingyi. Ren Lian Lingyi asked his son to study the concealment of aura, and he actually made some progress. In the end, it was used by his grandson and other disciplinary officers. It can only be said that it was fate.
At the same time, Bona also sent Ren Lian Lingyi relevant papers and experimental records on smart drugs.
"This is the research result of my disciple, the wise man of the New Life School."
"Didn't you mention it back then? He used it as inspiration and studied it for a long time. These are the results. He wants to ask you what you think about it." Bona said while eating mushrooms.
"What a talent." Ren Lian Lingyi sighed and looked at the paper with a strange expression. "So the problem now is that we can't develop the corresponding brain area in a targeted way, right?"
"Yes, and sometimes there will be some sequelae after taking the medicine. Although the guy didn't write it, I know it." Bona said.
"The human brain is too complicated." Ren Lian Lingyi shook his head and said, "So my plan is not to simply develop a specific area, but to slowly develop the entire brain."
"But I'll still take a look and give you some immature advice."
