Chapter 14 What to Plant?
Amid the occasional screams of the Hilichurls, Renlian Lingyi and Kanno Anzi waited for Kujo Makoto.
The face of the hatamoto general, who had just counted the casualties of the shogunate army, was not very good at the moment.
It seems that the casualties are indeed heavy.
But the first thing he did was to shirk responsibility.
"Is this the result of your investigation? Why would a powerful monster like King Leidou appear? I will report it to Tenryo Bugyo..." Kujo Makoto said angrily.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Kanno Anzi and Ren Lian Lingyi knew what he was going to say.
It can be seen that Kujo Hatamoto has very little experience in political struggles. He is stationed on an island and is the highest commander. Although he is not without experience in political struggles, he has not experienced it for a long time and is a militant himself. I am afraid that the little political struggle he originally had has long since degenerated.
"Heh." Ren Lian Lingyi sneered and interrupted him directly, saying, "Look at what this is."
A round mirror made of lightning element appeared in Ren Lian Lingyi's hand, and what appeared on it was the process of King Lei Dou Qiu just being born from the earth veins.
"This is the memory of the earth veins. The earth veins will not lie. And if you look at the surrounding environment, it will be very clear."
The King of Hikari Raido in the round mirror shrank rapidly, and the foot soldiers and samurai of the shogunate army also appeared in the round mirror.
Kujo Makoto left with a grim look on his face. He knew he couldn't put the blame on these two people.
And to be honest, for a person who doesn't even have the Eye of God, it's already the limit for him to have come this far. There are more than one or two capable people eyeing his position. What he needs to worry about now is how to deal with the backstabs from his subordinates.
Moreover, the elite soldiers suffered heavy casualties this time and need to be replenished in a timely manner.
He still had a limited knowledge. Although his last name was Kujo, he was only a member of the clan after all, and he didn't know much about monsters and other strange creatures.
The monster who didn't know about the earth veins can read the memories of the earth veins. If he knew, he would not have brought shame upon himself and offended Kano Anko and Ren Lian Lingyi.
Now, not only has he failed to pass on the blame, he has also offended two difficult guys.
Ren Lian Lingyi smiled as he watched Kujo Makoto walk away.
"I knew this guy was going to pass on the blame."
"If you handle it this way, he will bear a grudge against you." said Anko Kano.
"What are you afraid of him doing?" Ren Lian Lingyi smiled. "I'm afraid he will have to go back to the Kujo family in disgrace soon."
The head of the Kujo family during the period of Raiden Zhen was still very wise. After all, he had Raiden Zhen, who was good at governing the country, above him. If he didn't have some ability, he would not have become the lord of the Tianling Fengxing.
Currently, the main family of the Kujo family alone has more than 4,000 people, and the total number of branch families exceeds 10,000. In a generation, there are more than 100 people competing for the position of the head of the Kujo family. The head of the Kujo family who can fight out from these strictly educated people is naturally not a fool.
The current head of the Kujo family will naturally not let go easily of someone like Kujo Makoto who made mistakes and offended others.
After the main force of the shogunate army left, Renren Lingyi and Kano Anzi performed a removal ceremony to expel the remaining monster aura and elemental power before preparing to return to Renren Shrine.
These residual monster auras and elemental forces still have some erosion effect on the human body. Ren Lian Lingyi is a little concerned about this, so he suggested removing them. But in fact, it doesn't matter if they are not removed. After all, these people are natives of Teyvat , and their resistance to elemental forces is at least level 2. The residual elemental forces and monster auras can only make them uncomfortable for a while, but it is far from enough to be fatal.
In fact, what Renlian Lingyi said was correct. When the two returned to Renlian Shrine, Kujo Makoto was still thinking about how to minimize the impact of this incident.
Many of the casualties among the shogunate troops this time were elite foot soldiers who had been trained for many years. However, this was not the most troublesome thing. Although the foot soldiers were elite , they were all from ordinary civilian families and had no background. Kujo Makoto was not afraid of them, as long as they were given enough pensions, the problem could be solved.
But the warrior is not so easy to deal with.
Although that samurai was just an ordinary fellow soldier, he had family power, and that family power was not small. Although that samurai was just a illegitimate son of a branch family, his name was also recorded in the Tenryo Bugyosho.
If this guy hadn't died, he might have been able to keep the matter secret by working hard to train and recruit soldiers. But his death caused heavy losses and the matter could not be suppressed.
As the hatamoto who led the attack, he will definitely be punished.
Kujo Makoto was certain that the very lucrative position of Hatamoto of Renrenjima would have nothing to do with him in the future.
Maybe he will be assigned to the Nine-Array House next, which is not a good place. Among the monsters he faces every day, there are quite a few Hill Chow Kings.
Thinking of the strength of the monsters in the Kujo Formation House, Kujo Flagship's face looked very ugly.
However, things do not revolve around human will. After Kujo Hatake and his adjutant submitted the battle report, the Tenryo Bugyo soon made a decision to punish Kujo Hatake for underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly. The samurai rank and related benefits remained unchanged, but he needed to be transferred to Kujo Jinya.
It was similar to what Kujo Makoto had expected of himself, which made Kujo Makoto's face turn pale.
After Kujo Makoto was removed, the new garrison samurai was an elderly hatamoto samurai who had retired from Kujo Jinya and wanted to focus on his retirement. Although he was not a member of the Kujo family, his family was also a high-ranking noble of the Tenryo Bugyo system.
Therefore, the elite foot soldiers and related lower-level samurai on Renlian Island were quickly replenished.
Renlian Island also fell into a peaceful life again.
…
"What are you looking at?" After completing a day's inspection of the island and dealing with one or two slimes born from elemental deposition, Anko Kano returned to the Renlian Shrine.
But after returning to the shrine, he found Ren Lian Lingyi staring at the empty space in the shrine in a daze.
Renren Shrine is a newly built shrine. Although the place is large enough, there is a shortage of staff, so the development and utilization rate of the shrine land is not very sufficient.
The affairs that Inazuma shrines generally undertake include exorcising evil spirits, feng shui, promoting faith, enshrining gods (monsters), funerals, sacrifices, festivals, drawing lots, interpreting lots, curing diseases, administering medicine, receiving offerings, suppressing earth veins, the sacred cherry blossoms, training lower-level shrine maidens, and paying tribute to shrine maidens who are qualified to become senior shrine maidens.
The Renlian Shrine does not undertake many tasks at present, only three tasks: eradicating evil spirits, suppressing earth veins, and Shenying Xiaoba.
The income here depends entirely on grants from the Hinamatsuma Town Magistrate's Office.
"I'm thinking about what to do with these wastelands." Ren Lian Lingyi said, "It's a pity to leave them empty, so I plan to plant some vegetables and grains . So I'm thinking about what to plant."
"Uh~ shouldn't it be flowers and trees?" Anko Kano blurted out.
"That's going to have to wait until we have enough manpower and material resources. We are still in the early stages of starting a business, so it's better to grow some food." Ren Lian Lingyi said.
"That's not necessary. Hasn't the town magistrate already started promoting the Renren Shrine in various places? By then, there will surely be people coming to pay tribute. If that doesn't work, once the funeral business is open, there will surely be no shortage of supplies."
