Chapter 724: The suffering of all living beings, the immortal way of protecting the world and saving

In the courtyard, cherry blossoms fall.

The tea leaves float up and down, and the tea water emits wisps of hot steam.

Jiang Yi looked into Kamisato Ayaka's eyes and asked curiously.

"Mr. Jiang Yi, you have passed by Inazuma along the way. What is your impression of Inazuma?" Kamisato Ayaka looked into the distance, towards the direction of the outlying island and Inazuma Castle.

"Because I'm in a hurry, I can only talk about the outlying island where I stayed the longest and the atmosphere I felt when I walked through Inazuma City." Jiang Yi looked at the teacup.

"On the outlying islands, the censors did whatever they wanted, oppressing Zhidong quite a lot, and they were particularly flattering to him."

Thomas dismissed the warriors and servants around the courtyard, so there were only Jiang Yi and Kamisato Ayaka in the courtyard, and the two could speak freely.

"The isolation order prevented many foreigners from coming to Inazuma, and the portable certificate that allowed them to land on the island became a means for them to make a lot of money."

"People with documents who go to the outlying islands are required to register and pay taxes on all their weapons, camping tools, and foreign specialties. Huge taxes."

If it weren't for Thomas, the items hanging on Jiang Yi's body would probably be assigned a random name and cost a large sum of Mora.

Some things are more likely to be seized as contraband on some pretext.

The standard is that you are weak enough and the items on you are expensive enough.

"The lost kanjo and personal documents are not replaced, but the management is chaotic. After I entered the island, I heard that the ports on the outlying islands are too defensive against foreigners, but not defensive enough against Inazuma. If you forge a document from Inazuma, you can freely enter and leave the shogunate's territory... and all you need to do is give the servants enough Mora. The servants there will not do anything as long as they take Mora."

Jiang Yi shook his head and laughed. After staying on the island for a long time, he realized how corrupt it was.

Otherwise, he and Ying were under the watch of the Kanding Commissioner, and money could buy off everything.

Without money, or if all the money is squeezed out by the supervisors inside, it will be difficult to move forward.

Vampires blocked every checkpoint and process on the outlying islands, causing most of the merchants to lose most of their money and all the capital for their business.

The only exception is the winter solstice.

"I saw a merchant ship carrying goods from Dongguo to the outlying island. The embassy sent people to greet it in person and prepare at the port."

"Merchants from the Kingdom of Winter can enjoy some tariff reductions in advance. Merchants from the Kingdom of Winter who have already stayed on the outlying islands are kindly reminded to apply for and renew their Kanhe certificates to avoid any inconvenience in their living, travel and business."

"In addition, there are all kinds of strange preferential policies."

Jiang Yi said this of course not out of jealousy, "I am very curious about Zhidong's position in Inazuma and their actions."

"I heard on the outlying island that the 'crystallized bone marrow' used to be a raw material shipped to Zhidong in lieu of taxes. Why is it now a raw material shipped to Haizhi Island? I remember that these things are produced over there."

He looked at Kamisato Ayaka meaningfully, "What are these things used for?"

Shenli frowned, as if Master Jiang Yi was reminding him of something.

Why did the Kanding Fengxing change the taxes and transport the "crystallized bone marrow" to Haizhi Island?

She was very smart and came up with a ridiculous idea.

Crystallized marrow is the raw material for powerful weapons.

Zhidong... secretly intervened in the war? Kanjo Bugyo...

She didn't expect that it was just an ordinary inquiry, but she would be enlightened by Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi took a sip of tea.

"The island notice said that due to the recent war, in order to avoid occupying temporary military ports, the berthing fees for foreign merchant ships have been temporarily increased to four times. The merchant ship berthing fees will be uniformly registered, collected and submitted by the 'International Chamber of Commerce' as usual, and no omissions will be made."

"But the merchants of the International Chamber of Commerce told me, 'What do you mean by occupying the military port? It's obviously the soldiers who are occupying the commercial port! And we have to pay for it..."

"These various taxes for various reasons have put the International Chamber of Commerce in a situation where it is difficult to survive."

Shen Li Linghua said: "But Master Jiang Yi's wisdom and strength have solved most of their difficulties. He is a god!"

Jiang Yi shook his head: "This method is not good. When a place cannot be oppressed, in order to make money, the Kanding Fengxing is likely to find new people who can be oppressed by them."

Kamisato Ayaka looked serious: "But the residents of Inazuma are different from foreigners. The Kanjo Bugyo will have some concerns."

"It's only temporary." Jiang Yi did not deny the flaws in his plan, "This requires new resistance and warning forces as soon as possible."

"Inazuma is waging war right now."

"The inspection has issued an order that anyone who has had contact with the Coral Palace within a year must stay on the outlying island for observation for a year and cannot leave without permission."

Coral Palace, the territory of the Inazuma resistance forces.

"When Ying, Paimon, and I came out of the island, we encountered many noboris. We also saw many pirates in the sea before coming to Inazuma."

"Rumor has it that the increasingly rampant Nobushi and pirates are deserters from both sides of the war who have become bandits... Foreign merchant ships are more vulnerable to their attacks because they are not protected by the shogunate."

Before coming, Jiang Yi heard that merchant ships sailing in the Inazuma Inland Sea saw the "Southern Cross Fleet" and followed them in a swarm.

Although they didn't know why business was difficult under the "Seclusion Order" and why the "Southern Cross Fleet" came, they knew that as long as they followed behind, they wouldn't have to worry about invasions by pirates.

"In the thick atmosphere of war, everything makes ordinary people nervous."

Kamisato Ayaka's eyes were full of brilliance, it turned out that Master Jiang Yi had seen all living beings.

She knew that Mr. Jiang Yi's kind heart would never turn a blind eye to everything that happened to Inazuma.

"I went to Inazuma Castle and found that although it was prosperous, it was not lively. There were children playing, but the adults were silent. The children playing were also young and ignorant, and more children were also as lifeless as the adults."

Jiang Yi sighed: "The Eye Hunting Order was originally only aimed at the holders of the Eye of God, and had nothing to do with ordinary Inazuma residents, but the war dragged civilians into it as well."

Shenli Linghua felt Jiang Yi's kindness more and more. Who would lament for the plight of the residents of another country?

"Inazuma, this is a country that is falling into darkness. This is the feeling I get from what I've seen and heard along the way." Jiang Yi said, "I've said so many bad things, please forgive me, Miss Linghua."

Kamisato Ayaka shook her head: "No! You are just telling the truth."

She looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Mr. Jiang Yi, please have dinner with me later and rest in Shenli Mansion for one night. Tomorrow, I hope you can accompany me to do something together."

"Look at the efforts of some people, trying to light up the light and hold back the country that is falling into darkness."

She was prepared to use her own efforts to impress Mr. Jiang Yi and make him make the final decision.

Inazuma is a country that is worth saving. Inazuma is not a country filled with darkness like Kanjo Bujo.

Please, look at Inazuma again.
