Chapter 85 Busy
In the next few days, the busy Yu Qiuping was unable to return to Jun Mansion.
He was busy accepting the new territory of 2,000 stone. There were more than 600 people in the two villages, one was a fishing village and the other was a farmer, which was on the west side of Yuqiu Ping's original territory. This place was originally a temporary area under the supervision of Semine's family, and it was Semine's Yoshihiro who came to hand over. Under the latter's arrangement, Naoe Tadaehei quickly obtained a large number of village population, household registration, harvest, family status and other information. The handover of the acting official was also completed quickly, and Yuqiu Ping's eyes were impressed by this stingy Semine's Yoshi.
"Of course, these things need to be counted clearly." Sena's Yoshinobu gave Yu Qiuhei a glance, "Otherwise, there will be people who will cheat and want to pay less taxes every year, so don't lose money."
This time, Yu Qiuping arranged for several people to be judged by Yu Qiuping in these two new villages. The popularization of legal education also took Yu Qiuping for most of the time.
Afterwards, Yu Qiuping and Naojiang Chukai rushed to inspect the work of the craftsmen. In the nearly month after Yu Qiuping left, 29 more than 100% of them were completed. However, given that Yu Qiuping planned to expand his army slightly, the craftsmen still needed to continue to work hard.
Yu Qiuping plans to expand each team to 50 people, and the name of each team is also changed to the name of the platoon. The commander of the platoon is called the General of the platoon. Each platoon consists of five squads, with 10 people in each squad, and the commander is called the platoon. This requires recruiting a group of new recruits. For the training of recruits, Yu Qiuping also adopts the same principles as the old brothers who were the first to train in the past. Not only can people with various backgrounds be avoided during the selection, but also strictly required during training. He also has to learn Chinese every night, because the terms and paper commands in the daily army are all Chinese.
Of course, the supply of food in the army must also be maintained. Yu Qiuping has shown that if he does not feed his subordinates, his training method will be a terrible death. Three meals a day not only serve fullness every day, but also eat meat once every few days, and fish is also often supplied.
In addition to 250 people, Yu Qiuping also set up a small cavalry team, consisting of 20 people. They are responsible for reconnaissance, cover and other work, and the commander is the messenger named Aishan Xinshi.
The reason why Yu Qiuping was impressed by this faithfulness in the Aishan was not because he was good at riding. He was sent by Yu Qiuping as a messenger in Zhilicheng. It was because when he was learning Chinese, he would pester Yu Qiuping to ask questions after every class, and asked Yu Qiuping to translate some of the Japanese he spoke into Chinese and then write them down.
The words he asked were all related to various female body organs. Yu Qiuping, who was disgusted, went to inquire about the faithfulness of the Hieshan Mountain. It turned out that he was a bachelor, but he especially liked to visit the kilns. As long as he had spare money in his pocket, he would sneak into the brothel in Junfu City. He was a real big pervert.
Well, based on the principle of only talent, Yu Qiuping gave him the position of a general. The craftsmen also produced lighter and more convenient for cavalry to wear according to the requirements of Xueshan's faithfulness.
"Is it possible to produce horse armor?" Yu Qiuping imagined the iron armored cavalry he saw in the game before, and gestured with stars all over his eyes.
"Sir..." Hanamaru tried hard to hide his eyes as if he was mentally retarded, "This is unrealistic. The horse was wearing such armor and could not walk after a few steps."
Later, Hanamaru also made this proposal by telling jokes with other craftsmen, but of course he didn't say that it was Yu Qiuping, which made everyone laugh. The next day, Naoe Tadae shared the joke with Yu Qiuping, and Yu Qiuping, who had a dark face, gave up Ma Kai's plan.
When the matter inside the envoy finally came to an end, Yu Qiuping rushed back to the Tianshou Pavilion of Junfu on February 29. On the stairs on the third floor, she happened to meet Imakawa Kaede who was alone downstairs. She was wearing that beautiful fur coat today.
"Hei!" Imakawa Kaede was stunned for a moment when he saw Yu Qiuping's figure, and then suddenly screamed in a low voice.
Yu Qiuping looked around and there was no one at the corner of the stairs. Suddenly, he took a step forward and hugged the girl in his arms. Then, he kissed Imakawa Kaede on the face without saying a word. Imakawa Kaede hurriedly turned his head and was kissed by Yu Qiuping to the corner of his mouth.
"Hei, this is Tianshou Pavilion!" Imakawa Kaede shouted in a low voice, struggling hard, but Yu Qiuping unswervingly touched her soft lips. The girl who was struggling in Yu Qiuping's arms suddenly calmed down.
"Oh." Imakawa Kaede put his head on Yu Qiuping's chest and complained softly: "This is Tianshou Pavilion, Hei is too bold."
"I saw that there was no one." Yu Qiuping smirked and poked the girl's forehead lightly. "See you in the cabin in the afternoon."
As soon as the words fell, a sound of footsteps came from the corner of the stairs on the third floor. Yu Qiuhei and Imakawa Kaede hurriedly separated, pretending to pass by two people they didn't know.
In the afternoon, Imagawa Kaede was rarely late and arrived at the cabin on time. As soon as I entered the door, Imagawa Kaede suddenly threw himself into Yu Qiuping's arms and pinched Yu Qiuping's waist hard.
"It hurts so much!" Yu Qiuping took a breath and teased: "Why are you so proactive now? Why are you so shy in the Tianshou Pavilion just now?"
"You know it's Tianshou Pavilion, too." Imakawa Kaede gave Yu Qiuhei a blank look and said angrily: "Do you know, there are some rumors in the family that I have a lover outside."
"Ah!" Yu Qiuping was startled, "Aren't we quite hidden? How could it be..."
"Oh, don't care about this." Imakawa Kaede smiled indifferently, broke free from Yu Qiuping's arms, and sat face to face with Yu Qiuping at the table in the room.
"It's really great that Hei can return safely this time." Imakawa Kaede looked at Yu Qiuping and smiled happily, "I finally don't have to worry about it every day."
It’s such a happy thing to have someone who cares about me and a home that I can go back to.
Yu Qiuping also smiled, "But this time the official position was not promoted, so I was still a general, and I couldn't do it..." Yu Qiuping mentioned his oath when he saw him off with some loneliness.
"No," Imakawa Kaede interrupted, "Didn't Hei change his oath to return safely?"
"That's right!" Yu Qiuping laughed, "There's no need to feel guilty."
"And I think it's right to use his credit and promotion to exchange for the life of the poor man of more than a thousand yeon!" Imakawa Kaede's eyes were full of pride and gratitude, "Hai is indeed my great hero, different from those samurai who think about his martial arts name all day long! Those people discuss your Takabata all day long, but I think your help to the victims is the most amazing!"
"Oh, Feng'er, do you know everything?" Yu Qiuping originally wanted to talk to Imakawa Kaede about this expedition.
"Ika Yan said it while having dinner at home." Imakawa Kaede recalled the dinner that day and smiled sweetly, "Although my brother and several other adults think that it is wrong for Ping to do this, Jia Yan and grandmother both praised Ping!"
"Are you Mr. Shou Guini?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment. He was very excited to get the recognition of these two people.
"Yes." Imakawa Kaede smiled, "Iyan said you have compassion and are a very loyal and reliable samurai. Although my grandmother didn't say much, she also said that your future prospects are limitless."
"The two adults are so loving." Yu Qiuping scratched his head embarrassedly and suddenly asked, "Feng'er, when is your birthday?"
"Hey, you only remember to ask now." Imakawa Kaede glared at Yu Qiuhei, "It may be too late if you don't ask."
"I, I..." Yu Qiuping explained incoherently, "Before! I was too busy, so I...forgot!"
"Okay, I know there are a lot of things to do." Imakawa Kaede smiled understandingly, "The birthday is the seventh day of the fourth month."
When he learned that Imakawa Kaede's birthday was about to come one month later, Yu Qiuhei was caught off guard and began preparing birthday gifts.
It must be beautiful and let girls like it. It must also reflect your own wishes.
Yu Qiuping looked at the red leaf shawl carefully hanging on the clothes hanger. Through the window behind the red leaf shawl, you could see the streets of Junfu.
This shawl is a particularly perfect gift, sewn for herself by a girl stitching her stitches. Yu Qiuping racked her brains and didn't know how to make a gift that could be comparable to this shawl.
I can't do needlework at all, and I don't have the ability to forge some decorations for her.
I am a time traveler, and time traveler must have some fantasy ideas!
After thinking about it, Yu Qiuping finally came up with a pretty good idea - greeting cards. Of course, it is not the kind of boring greeting cards, but the kind that I played with when I was a child. Once I opened the greeting card, there were many paper characters inside, and things would stand up and move left and right.
After setting the goal, Yu Qiuping made a few simple templates to test the principle of this greeting card. After finally figuring out a series of mechanisms, he followed the appropriate materials - this was really hard to find. In this era, there seemed to be no such thing as cardboard. In desperation, he had to use two pieces of drawing paper to sandwich a thin wooden board in the middle. Then draw on the paper to create an image. The greeting card is about the size of a4 paper, giving Yu Qiuping the space to wield.
After a long time of conceiving, he finally came up with a good idea - to make a wedding-like greeting card.
The side of the greeting card is erected at that time, a church-style Western wedding background is painted, with colorful glass windows, candlesticks, various ribbons, as well as a few Western Gothic church columns and a statue of the Virgin. The flat side is painted with European floors and some small decorations.
As for the part that will stand up when opening the greeting card, Yu Qiuhei set up 7. One is Imakawa Kaede wearing a white wedding dress. Yu Qiuhei has worked a lot to draw this image. Not many painters these days can sketch, and they painted ugly portraits of Oda Nobunaga. Yu Qiuhei, a half-baked figure who failed the art department for many years, is more realistic than them. After painting Imakawa Kaede, Yu Qiuhei didn't care much about his image. He drew a black dress and it was probably enough to be able to pass.
He also painted a priest in white clothes standing among the two, as well as the mother of Imakawa Yoshimoto and Yu Akihei, who were puzzled by Imakawa Kaede, and his own parents, standing on both sides as a companion.
Although Imagawa Kaede wanted to ask what the gift looked like during the preparations of Yuqiuhei, Yuqiuhei kept her mouth shut and refused to say it, intending to give her a surprise.
On April 3, the gift was announced. This greeting card is really thicker than the paper greeting cards in previous lives.
On the morning of April 7, Yu Qiuping excitedly held the greeting card and waited at the rockery next to Tianshouge Garden. Since Imakawa Yoshimoto held a family birthday party for his daughter at night, Yu Qiuping could not attend. He could only pick the gifts during the day.
Chapter completed!
