Pirates: Starting from turning Wano Country into Inazuma

So he felt that the cushion under his buttocks was covered with ants, which made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't sit any longer.

"My lord—"

"My name is Xia Lin." Xia Lin interrupted him, "Mr. Mitian, you and your...friends have caused a lot of trouble since entering Jiuli."

Xia Lin put down the document in his hand, and said softly.

"Destroyed farmland, robbed, stolen, damaged a lot of agricultural equipment, even killed a farmer's cattle, and broke the gates of several shops when he was in the city..."

Mita: ...

"Did I make a mistake? I don't do anything sneaky." Mitian said.He was willing to admit to destroying the farmland, but he would not do such things as stealing.

"You didn't do it, but your friends did."

Xia Lin had just finished speaking, and Jinweimen and the others all looked ashamed.

Chapter 26 Let's work part-time, Mita-sama

Seeing their expressions, Oden also felt a little ashamed.

"You guys, how can you do such petty things!" He quickly cursed, but what he did himself was not much better.

"These are just small problems. Although the laws in Jiuli are strict, as long as you can compensate according to the price, you can avoid prison. The crops you ruined, the waterwheels you damaged, and other things are all paid for by me. .”

Xia Lin's words made Mitian and the others feel good about him suddenly.

But the next sentence is different.

"Compared to these insignificant economic losses, you people resisted the army pursued by the Heavenly Leader and injured many people. This is a really serious matter!" Xia Lin said solemnly, "Yutian, you have no law, and you hurt people , Rebelling against the government army, these crimes are enough to put you to death."

"That's why your people came to make trouble first!" Jinweimen said anxiously.

"That's because you people broke the law first, otherwise how could the people who follow the law of heaven arrest you?" Xia Lin said, "Originally, Jiu Tianwan planned to lead an army to destroy you as thieves, but I stopped you." .”

After all, Mita is also the son of a general, what Xia Lin wants is to rule Wano, not Wano to go to war.

Hearing this, Kinemon and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it, they also came to their senses, how could it be impossible for Kuri's daimyo to do this.

"Damyo Kuri, can you help me pay for the medical expenses of those wounded?" Oden said, remembering that the injuries of the soldiers who were repulsed should not be very serious.

"There is no problem with this, but you asked me to pay in advance, so how do you plan to repay it?" Xia Lin asked back, "As far as I know, you seem to have no source of income at all right now? You must know that there are a lot of wounded, And those losses, I am afraid there is no way to settle them without a thousand pieces of gold."

Wano's currency is calculated using platinum, gold, and silver.Among them, platinum is rare, and gold and silver are commonly used by ordinary people.The value of one silver is equivalent to one hundred beli decades later, and the value of gold is equivalent to ten thousand beli.

Unlike Bailey, which has been depreciating in value, Wano Country's economy is a closed loop, and there is almost no depreciation or appreciation.

"You don't have to worry about this. I have great strength and strength. If I work, I can make money very quickly."

"That's fine, then please ask Mr. Mita to stay and work in Jiuli until the debt is paid off. I will instruct the servants to let them arrange a job for you." Xia Lin plans to ask Mita to work for you. Anyway, this guy has It takes strength, so what if you don't make good use of it?

"And during this period of time, I will not provide you with any help. You have to settle the accommodation and meals by yourself."

Mitian nodded, anyway, he has been used to living in the wind and sleeping in the open for the past two years, so it's nothing.

Compared to these, he wanted to see Xia Lin's thoughts on the founding of the country.

This is actually a sensitive topic in Wano Country, but Oden has never had these scruples. He said bluntly, "I don't know what Kuri's daimyo thinks about making Wano Country closed."

"I heard that you have tried to go to sea 38 times so far, but you have failed. Why, haven't you given up yet?" Xia Lin felt like she was pretending to be a friend of Mitian's friend.

This kind of disguise is actually not annoying to him.Rather, he had a little fun with it.

"I won't give up. This country is too restrictive. There is a wider world overseas. No matter what kind of novelty things may happen. Aren't you curious?" Mi Tian said excitedly.

"Actually, I also have the same opinion. Standing still will only lead to self-destruction, but I am only a famous name in Kuri and I have no way to resist this hundred-year-old ban."

There is no need to hide this.

On the contrary, after hearing this, Mi Tian was obviously very happy. It was the first time he heard that someone was willing to agree with his idea of ​​founding a country at such a young age.

Thinking of this, he was full of surprises, and said while the iron was hot: "In this case, after I pay off the debt, can I implore you to help me go abroad?"

But Xia Lin shook his head: "Yutian, going to sea is against the law. Do you want me, the daimyo of Kuri, to take the lead in violating the law?"

Xia Lin said this on purpose. In fact, Heitan Muchan has traveled overseas several times, taking advantage of her own advantage of becoming a Kuri daimyo.Although it is very difficult to sail nine miles to sea, there is not much risk in Xia Lin's help with the help of Tiancong Zhiyun.

Xia Lin wanted to refuse Yu Tian to go to the sea, but in fact he just wanted to use this to make him work harder for him.

This guy will definitely become a pirate after he goes to sea. Logically speaking, Oden should have his share of the treasures he robbed after he joined the Whitebeard gang, but I don't know where he spent it.It is estimated that it is used to hold a banquet with others.

And if Xia Lin helps the other party go to sea, then part of the property obtained by Yutian must be handed over to Xia Lin first.At the same time, you can ask Oden to help you collect devil fruits.

These are all Xia Lin's rewards for helping him "take risks".Because of their positions, Xia Lin and Yutian will undoubtedly become enemies. In this case, why not use the hand of this enemy to strengthen themselves?

Devil fruit is Xia Lin's primary goal, and the number of devil fruits in Wano country is still too small.

Xia Lin's enemy is not just Oden alone, Wano Country will be involved in the huge waves of the world sooner or later, and he must be prepared for the threat that comes at that time.

"Oden, it is impossible for me to help you break the law." Xia Lin said, "If the general knows that I sent his son to sea, he will definitely blame me for it.

"Although I am also curious about the overseas world, it is impossible for me to take risks."

Even though he said so, Xia Lin put on an expression of insufficient interest, luring Mi Tian to continue persuading him.

In fact, Xia Lin didn't rush to let go, anyway, Yutian had to stay in this Jiuli to work as a coolie for a few years.

After eating this meal, Xia Lin didn't let Yutian stay overnight, but sent them away.

He found a map and drew a random location, intending to let Yutian live there temporarily. Of course, the land and houses are all expensive, even the wood in the forest is expensive.Oden has not paid off the debt, but the debt has become more.

"First of all, we need to buy wood to build the house." Denjiro thought, "There is also money for food... Fortunately, the daimyo later lent us some money. Without money, it is really difficult to move an inch in Kuri."

Having said that, Denjiro looked hard at Mita and said loudly, "Go to work, Mita-sama!"

Chapter 27

"Pfft, hahahahaha!"

Kozuki Sukiyaki was lying on the tatami, and after listening to the servants talking about Oden's recent situation, he couldn't help laughing.

"Really? It's unbelievable that Oden would actually start working in Kuri honestly. It seems that this Kuri daimyo is really capable."

Kozuki Sukiyaki didn't care about the fact that Mita was forced to work part-time in Kuri to pay off his debts. Rather, it's a strange thing that Mita's temperament can really be patient and work honestly. It seems that the two Years of traveling made him grow somewhat.

In fact, Oden had been arrested for committing crimes before. He was only ten years old at that time. Later, he was arrested and sent to the stone cutting field, but he became a stone craftsman instead.

In fact, the Kozuki family can be regarded as ancestral craftsmen, such as Kozuki Sukiyaki, if there is anything worth mentioning in his life, that is his knife forging skill.

Among the two big sharp knives in Mitian's hand, the Tianyu Yuzhan came from him, and there are three generations of ghosts.Maybe he has other works, but being able to create a big sharp knife is enough to prove that he is an extraordinary craftsman.

With such a relationship in it, Sukiyaki didn't care about Xia Lin asking Mi Tian to do coolies at all.Rather, it is what he wants to see that Oden can calm down honestly.

It is a matter of course that a lawless and incompetent demon king can now exchange his work for money to make up for his mistakes, but because of Yu Tian's past and identity, it will become very valuable in the eyes of others.

If there is more publicity, the people in Flower City will feel that Mi Tian must have turned his prodigal son back, and their evaluation of him will also increase.In this way, as long as the right opportunity is found, Sukiyaki can restore their relationship reasonably, and then pass Wano Country to him.

Coupled with the large amount of food and taxes sent by Kuri after the beginning of the year, Sukiyaki has a lot of interest and affection for Xia Lin, the Kuri daimyo who has not met yet.

But if he knew that Xia Lin planned to make Yu Tian Chuhai work as a tool for him, he probably wouldn't have such an idea.

……

"Lord Xia Lin, this is the financial bill for this month."

Xuezi presented the financial accounts. Compared with the beginning, Xuezi's work has been reduced a lot. Xia Lin asked her to be the manager of the Kanding Administration. The Kanding Administration is in charge of finance among the three administrations.If another person were in this position, he would be able to use the convenience of this position to obtain a lot of wealth.

Now Jiuli's finances can be said to be quite good, because he has sufficient sources of income.

Many of Jiuli's fields are newly reclaimed, and the crops grown on these fields are his property.In addition, Xia Lin's taxation on agriculture is relatively light, but commercial taxation is very heavy.

However, since there are not so many links to eat and get cards in Jiuli, merchants only need to pay the part of the tax they should pay, and they don’t have to spend more money. Therefore, for merchants, in Jiuli, they can get The profit is even more.

In this way, the businessman's interests increased, and Xia Lin's wealth also increased, gradually forming a virtuous circle.

"Has Bai Wu's debt been paid off?" Xia Lin asked.

When Jiuli was first established, there was actually a difficult period for a period of time. Although he used his ability to ripen the grain to solve the problem of food and clothing, but the construction of Jiuli cost money everywhere.

Such as infrastructure, medical road repairs, etc., all have to be paid for by people.

Otherwise, how many people are there only by those thieves?

Some tasks cannot be accomplished with great strength.

At that time, Jiuli couldn't afford any money at all, and at the same time, he couldn't afford enough manpower, so he could only borrow money from other villagers.

However, apart from Bai Wu, most of the other townships did not plan to help Xia Lin. The Kang family saw that Jiuli was finally pacified, but they generously contributed money and efforts, and most of them also had Dashe's advice.

But one thing is one thing, since the Kang family is sending charcoal in a timely manner, Xia Lin doesn't mind showing kindness.So after everything was on the right track, Xia Lin doubled the money he borrowed.

The manpower at that time was converted into gold and silver by him and repaid together.

In addition to Bai Wu, in fact, Linghou also provided a little manpower, but this was Xia Lin's exchange for food, so don't worry about it.As for the other townships, it cannot be said that they are indifferent. If you have to say it, they are actually too busy to take care of themselves.

"It's been paid off." Xuezi nodded.

Since taking power during this period, Xuezi's temperament has actually changed a lot.At the beginning, she was just a little maid beside Xia Lin, but now her status has become noble, her temperament is naturally different, and she has become a lot fiercer, but in front of Xia Lin, she seems to be still That little maid from before.

"When dealing with Bai Wu in the future, some discounts can be given as appropriate."

"Lord Xia Lin, where is that Yutian?" Xuezi slowly approached, leaned on Xia Lin's body, his eyebrows frowned, "Will there be no trouble if you leave that guy in Jiuli?"

Xuezi knew about Xia Lin and Heitan Orochi's plan. In this case, letting the other party stay in Jiuli always felt like a hidden danger.

"Don't worry, that's just a fool." Xia Lin shook his head.

"Kozuki Oden, this person seems bold and unrestrained, but in fact he doesn't have much courage. He is naive and stupid. He only wants to go to sea, and he has no ability to take on the responsibility of this country."

Xia Lin stretched out her hand and embraced the approaching Xuezi, and suddenly a faint fragrance lingered around Xia Lin.

Xuezi's face was reddish, and she immediately twitched. It looked like the white Sumei had a slight blush, and her fair skin became tender and lovely.

On the other side, Mi Tian and the others who had just finished their day's work sat wearily in a wooden hut.Considering that they would live in Jiuli for a long time, they bought logs and built a house overnight instead of sleeping in the open.

Today I worked all day again during the day, and now I am naturally working hard one by one.

"That hateful Kuri daimyo, actually asked us to do coolies!" Jinweimen said angrily, he moved a pile of stones today, and he was more tired than a dog.

"However, the remuneration is also a lot. Today, I earned a total of ten gold. If this continues, it only takes one hundred days to make up one thousand gold." Denjiro said excitedly.

"You guy, don't we have to eat or drink for a hundred days?

Chapter 28 As the future Emperor Jianming, the Lord Zun Daigosho, it is reasonable to pursue eternity

I earned ten gold a day, which is a lot of income.

If you don't eat or drink, you can earn one hundred gold in ten days, and one hundred gold is enough to buy a house in a better location in the capital of flowers.

But earning so much money doesn't mean they can save so much. Although Oden and the others are strong enough, they also eat a lot of food. Even Izo and Chrysanthemum Zhicheng only look thin and weak.

If the ten gold is spent on food, at least two gold will be spent, plus taxes will have to be paid at the beginning of next month.

Jiuli's personal income tax is an excess progressive tax, that is to say, the more they do, the more they earn, and the more tax they pay.Coupled with other seventy-seven and eighty-eight details, in fact, they can save three gold every day, which is not bad.

Now Kin'emon and the others are still serious gangsters, who can't read a single word, spend money even more, and maybe someday they will go to drink some flower wine.

But being able to save three gold every day is something that ordinary people can't even imagine.

Ordinary people may not have three gold in their total monthly income.Think about yourself, if you only need to work for 30 days to buy a house in the capital with full payment, what kind of concept is that?

Most people spend their lives without even earning a down payment.

Two years ago when he was still in the Flower Capital, he could only earn sixty silver a day.

……

After Xia Lin arranged the work for Yutian, he didn't pay much attention to them, but asked some soldiers to check the situation occasionally, so as not to cause any trouble to them.

Xia Lin is not afraid of Yutian causing trouble. The more trouble he causes, the more debt he will have. The more debt he has, the longer he will have to work to pay off the debt, and the more he will pay for Jiuli's infrastructure.

As for letting him go to sea, there is no rush. In this period of time, even Roger, the future One Piece King, is not even a little famous now.Even Rocks has not collapsed, and the era of great pirates has not yet begun.

Time is very abundant for Xia Lin, and he doesn't need to worry about everything. In the next 40 years, he can accumulate strength to his heart's content to cope with the drastic changes in the future.

40 years can change too many things. Thinking of this, Xia Lin couldn't help but look at Xuezi who was sitting in his arms and lowered her brow shyly.

Thinking of the painting styles of those aging beauties in this world, Xia Lin couldn't help but shudder.

"What's the matter, Lord Xia Lin?" Xuezi asked puzzled.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something." Xia Lin shook his head, thinking about how to keep his youth forever.
