Chapter 17: A person with real talent will know etiquette; if he has enough food and clothing, he wi

"Good evening, Lord Kumokawa."

Amidst the rippling sounds of the lake breeze and lake waves, the two people guarding the city gate bowed slightly and said respectfully to Yunchuan in front of them: "Please show me proof."

The moat seemed to be several feet wide, and the city wall was ten feet high and over eight feet thick, making Yahiko and Konan open their mouths slightly.

Just this city wall and moat may not be able to stop the ninjas of Yuyin Village, but it is enough to make most bandits give up the idea of ​​​​plundering.

When did a small city appear out of thin air here?

Didn't the daimyo and those officials find out?

Yunchuan is almost establishing a country under their noses, right? !

Those losers are really hopeless!

While Yahiko was still surprised, the guard's words brought him back to his senses.

"Ah? What proof can you show?"

As if he heard something incredible, Yahiko's eyes widened immediately behind him. He looked at Kumokawa and took out the card with a smile and handed it over.

It was a card engraved with some words and with strange patterns on the surface.

After one of them had seen it, they took a slight step back to make way for Yunchuan and the others. At the same time, they handed over a black umbrella and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yunchuan, please forgive me."

"That's not necessary." Yun Chuan took the black umbrella, shook his head and said with a smile, "You did a good job, it's just your duty."

After that, as the two guards looked on, he held up his umbrella and walked into the city in the swaying rain.

After passing through the city gate, the wide bluestone road made a few birds slightly stunned, and they felt as if they had arrived in the capital.

No, it looked cleaner and tidier than the capital they had seen before!

"That, Brother Yunchuan."

Finally, he turned around and glanced at the two guards. Yahiko approached Kumokawa and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure this is the city you built? Why do you have to show your ID when you enter your home?"

"...I didn't build it." Yun Chuan glanced at him and said in a perfunctory tone, "I built it with everyone."

whispering sound.

Yahiko curled his lips in disdain and complained in his heart: If he took the lead in establishing it, he could just say that he established it himself, and he insisted on talking about how everyone should work together.

This guy is so pretentious!

"You will also have to register your household registration later. Only when you get the certificate can you be allowed to come in and out..."

At this time, Yunchuan glanced at Yahiko with a warning look and reminded: "Also, those two are very responsible men. Even if I force my way in, they will find a way to catch me back. You'd better Be honest with me!"

Of course, let’s not talk about whether they can catch him. If so, they will kill themselves afterwards to apologize.

After all, "the duty lies" is "the duty lies", and "the master humiliates the minister and dies" means "the master humiliates the minister and dies".

There is no need to tell Yahiko these things, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to understand.

"I know!" Yahiko responded in a long tone, and then asked, "What is household registration?"

"The main information above is your name, date of birth, relatives, marital status and other information." Yunchuan simply explained, "You only need to know that this can reduce possible spies and hidden lines in the future."

There are some capable people under him.

The so-called "household registration certificate" is not a "card" that can be forged at will, but an identity certificate with a special encryption method that is extremely difficult to decipher and detect. It records relatively detailed information such as body shape and appearance.

The two unattractive guys at the door were rebel ninjas who were forced to leave because they couldn't agree with Hanzo's philosophy before they met Kumokawa. They were both guys with the secret technique of perception.

Unless he was a software-modified guy like Orochimaru, who used the B-level forbidden technique "Erasing Face Jutsu" with a real face, it would be difficult to deceive the two of them with simple disguise and transformation techniques.

Of course, if their illusion skills are so strong that they fall prey to it without knowing it, there is nothing they can do for the time being.

Fortunately, their presence is not too strong now and they have not become a thorn in the eyes of others. It will be fine if Yunchuan is replaced by someone more suitable in the future.

"The Uzumaki clan seems to be quite suitable." After thinking, Yunchuan thought to himself, "Guarding the gate is also a vital job!"

However, in addition to reducing the risk of spies, secret agents, and spies infiltrating, household registration also has huge benefits for taxation, population management, and conscription. It facilitates census, adjustment of population structure, male-female ratio, etc.

The sooner this kind of thing is done, the better. It can be divided into occupations such as "scholar", "agricultural", "industry", "business", etc. In the future, when there are too many people and teams are difficult to manage, they can be managed by subdivided departments. .

In order to adjust the household registration system to be in line with reality, he had spent a lot of time and energy at the beginning, so he naturally had to play a good leading role.

"Master Yunchuan! You are back!"

Although there was still a hazy drizzle, the village looked lively.

Some people put up small rain shelters, and some shops put up rain shelters, shouting enthusiastically in the shops.

While Yun Chuan was thinking, they had unknowingly arrived in front of a tavern. When the woman at the door saw Yun Chuan, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Have you eaten? Do you want to have some midnight snacks?"

Yun Chuan came back to his senses and recognized the person in front of him. He smiled gently and said, "Good evening, Mrs. Yoshikawa, but forget about late night snacks. I'm not used to eating four meals a day."

Just when the woman was about to say something, she heard shouting coming from the tavern.

"Mrs. Yoshikawa! There's no more wine! Bring me another bottle of shochu! I made some money today, so I must drink to my heart's content!"

"Why are you urging me, you old drunkard? I'll be here soon! I'll be leaving for now, Lord Kumokawa!"

"Please don't mind me." Kumokawa waved his hand gently, with a helpless expression.

"Lord Kumokawa, you saved four poor children again this time?"

"Yes, since I saw them, I can't help but save them. I'll have to trouble you all to take care of these little ghosts for me in the future."

"You're as gentle as ever, Lord Kumokawa!"

"..."

On the short road into the village, whether it was merchants or civilians, they would greet him with a smile, or come over to chat, and try to force something on Kumokawa.

This made Kumokawa, who was leisurely carrying a few little ones, unable to bear it. He waved his hands and begged for mercy repeatedly, but it didn't work at all.

Yahiko, who was still smiling and watching the excitement, became unnatural because of their enthusiasm.

Finally, the few people simply ran away, and finally no one came up to them until they ran out of the designated commercial area.

Because they ran to the "residential area" that was being expanded.

The pungent smell of cement, the dull sound of carrying, the noisy shouting...

"Try hard! It will be finished soon... Hey! Old bastard! Where are you going? Watch your feet! If you break under my nose, Lord Yunchuan will break my bones!"

The men worked with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky. They carried a load of sand and soil on their backs, and did not forget to carry two buckets in their hands. The person in charge with a hat was directing everywhere.

The rain in the air with a little chill did not dampen their determination at all.

"This... What a strange feeling."

Looking at the scene in front of them that was in ruins but exuded amazing vitality, Yahiko and others couldn't help but feel an inexplicable shock in their hearts.

"I came here with my father three years ago."

Jiyun's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a strange tone: "If I remember correctly, at that time, this place was still ravaged by bandits, and the dilapidated appearance was not even as good as an ordinary village, and now..."

If the capital of the Rain Country is like a steel jungle, with tall towers and exposed pipes inside, it feels cold and majestic at first glance, but it will feel messy after looking at it for a long time.

Then, this small town in front of us may not be as big as the capital, but it has surpassed most cities and villages, especially the busy scene of labor in front of us, which has far exceeded the imagination of the little ones.

They stood here and looked at it. Although there were many pipes on the building, they could see that they were all planned, without a hammer and a stick.

The size of the building was not much different, but there were some differences in style. It didn't look messy at first glance. Obviously, they all had strict standards, and the interior of the building was customized.

They even saw that if a worker did not meet the standards, the supervisor would scold him, and those workers could only smile bitterly and beg for mercy.

"Brother Yunchuan, this..." Xiaonan's face was full of confusion and surprise, and she asked curiously, "How did you make them so self-conscious and well-behaved?"

In her few memories, the quality of these workers was very low, and they often slacked off and would not obey discipline without threats.

"Well, it's a bit complicated to explain." Yunchuan narrowed his eyes and pondered, "In short, it's just one sentence."

"What?" Yahiko stepped forward subconsciously and blurted out.

"When the granary is full, people know etiquette, when food and clothing are sufficient, people know honor and disgrace, and when the superiors are obedient, the six relatives are solid."

As soon as these words came out, Yahiko's brain, which was pitifully small, crashed directly.

What etiquette in the granary? What to know? What relatives to obey?

I can understand every word, but I can't understand them together!

"What this sentence means is..." Yunchuan sighed, rubbed his head hard, and smiled: "Only when the granary is full, people will know etiquette, only when they are well fed and clothed, people will understand honor and disgrace, and the leader takes the lead in following the system, and the people below will learn." Hearing this, unlike Yahiko who was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning, Jiyun frowned and gave up thinking immediately. She didn't need to understand these principles that she didn't know what the meaning was. She just needed to know... When the whole world is a closed room, the person with the key is the "king".
