There's nothing we can do, they gave us just too much!

But as old servants who had stayed with the Society through the turbulent times, they reported the tip to Thomas the first time they received it, but Thomas just smiled and let them keep it.

Compared to the other two major bugyo, the structure of the sha bugyo is much simpler and it is also quite united internally.

Although according to the regulations of the government, this kind of bribery is not worth promoting, but we must remember that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If we are stingy with our subordinates even for such tips, it will only create rifts between them.

As for embezzling gifts, that's one thing. Fortunately, the samurai who follow the shamanic principles don't have that kind of mind.

"It's really strange. When did our company become so popular? Although I complained about it a few days ago, I didn't use the spell from "True Psychic Notes" to make a wish."

"What? So you're also reading this book. Didn't you say you weren't interested in light novels?"

"Ahem, isn't it that Yaedo has issued a commission to compete with this book for sales? We are under the command of Narukami Taisha, so of course we have to know the enemy's information... Well, Yaedo said that they are printing a new book, why don't we go buy a copy after get off work?"

"Don't even think about getting off work today. Didn't you hear what those nobles said just now? The head of the family is studying the festival of the gods and the martial arts sword competition... Their gifts all come with notes, so they must have other requests."

At this point, the older Hirano immediately made a shushing gesture: "Hongda, you are such a fool. No matter how obvious the note is, we have to pretend we didn't see it. If we are misunderstood as peeping into secrets, that would be a big taboo."

"Okay, I get it, but these people are really weird. The head of the family has already said he doesn't want to see them, so why do they insist on visiting? We haven't seen each other for many years."

"That's not your concern. You should put the things in the warehouse as soon as possible."

As they were talking, Hongda had already arrived at the warehouse with gifts in hand. He happened to run into Thomas and quickly greeted him.

"Another gift? Thank you for your hard work." Thomas said with a smile and took out the note from the gift.

He quickly walked to the study, knocked on the door three times gently, and only stepped in after hearing Kamisato Ayato's response.

"Master, Miss." Thomas nodded respectfully and took out the notes he had collected from the warehouse.

Kamisato Ayato took out a piece of paper at random, but shook his head and put it back.

"Won't the master take a look?"

"People who haven't interacted with you for several years come to you claiming to be your brother or friend. What good can come of this? Besides, I can't possibly agree to their request. It's a waste of time to read it."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded and agreed, "Indeed, the reason why the Society Bugyo can stand firm is because of his loyalty to the Shogun."

Having said that, there was a hint of sadness on Kamisato Ayaka's pretty face.

After struggling for a while, she said in a deep voice: "Brother, you really have too many things to do, and the situation of the sword forging industry is still unclear. Why don't I go to the castle tower to negotiate?"

The Kamisato siblings are both smart people. The gatekeeper just thinks that the constant flow of people means that the shrine magistrate's status has risen, but in fact, the pressure that the shrine magistrate has to bear is also very great.

The God's Festival and the Yenbu Chuanshin Kendo Competition are extremely important events. If something goes wrong, the negative consequences will far exceed the Yushen Sword incident of that year.

The reason these families, big and small, came to visit was simply to use the power of the community executive to seek profits, such as having their children "recommended" and arranging weaker opponents.

If the society really does this, it may seem that it can make a lot of money, but in fact it will leave a handle.

In addition, Kamisato Ayaka knew that they were still concerned about the currently unresolved sword-forging industry and wanted to get a piece of the pie from the new system.

"They probably think that the Shogun is dissatisfied with the magistrate, and that he wants to balance the power of the three magistrates, so he will transfer the sword-forging industry to other families, thinking that his own family will have a chance." Kamisato Ayaka shook her head and sighed. Political affairs are always so worrying.

Thomas suddenly understood what was going on. "No wonder they didn't come to give us gifts yesterday. They were just waiting and watching. Now that they see that the shogunate is not making any moves, they are thinking of moving. These people are really cunning."

"We are only loyal to the two princes, and we just need to do our own work." Kamisato Ayato's face was calm. "As for the sword forging business... Don't worry, this is the authority of the society. With His Highness Xie Yan's generosity, he won't make a fuss about such a thing."

Although Xie Yan's identity changed a bit quickly, Kamisato Ayato had anticipated this day since the rumors about Wang Fu started, so he was not too surprised.

More than these, he wanted his sister to see the situation clearly and not go to the castle tower.

because--

The one sitting in the castle tower now is Xie Yan.

Yesterday afternoon, the subordinates in Inazuma City hurried back to the mansion and informed everyone of the news: the general was in seclusion for training, and His Highness Xie Yan was in charge of all government affairs.

It is reported that when the news came out, His Highness Xie Yan had already moved to the castle tower with his wife to work, and even slept on the dragon bed at night, while Lord Yae stood by his side as a female secretary.

Regent!

Especially in the past two days, people discovered that the stone fox statues on the Inazuma land had been unsealed. Many people even claimed that the returning foxes were shouting "Inazuma is prosperous, thank you King Yan", and the fishing residents took out silk books from the bellies of fish.

All these strange visions undoubtedly indicate that His Highness Xie Yan will soon reign over Inazuma, ushering in an era of dual rule by the gods.

This is of course a great thing for Inazuma, as having one more god brings a completely different level of confidence.

But as a front tooth tower, seeing his own base rushing to the opposite side, how could Shenli Ayato feel? As a brother, he wanted to give Xie Yan a strong support!

So, seeing his sister's thoughtful expression, Kamisato Ayato advised again: "The matter of sword forging will definitely be handed over to the club magistrate, Ayahua, don't think too much about it."

"No, Brother, I still have to go to the castle tower to report my work."

"I'll take care of the reporting."

Kamisato Ayato looked puzzled, but when he saw Ayaka's slightly red cheeks, he immediately knew what she was thinking... His explanation was not important, what his sister needed was a reason to report to the castle tower.

The incisor tower?

Our own base is already preparing to produce soldiers for the enemy camp!

The uncle was once again frustrated and he needed an uncle-in-law mutual aid association.

18 Godfather, please accept my child's favor! 32/42

Xie Yan didn’t realize that he had already made his uncle faint in anger... Well, maybe now he should name him Uncle Kamisato to distinguish him.

As for his brother-in-law Kong, even if Yingmei wanted to tell him, Xie Yan didn't dare let him know that he had tricked Yingmei into calling him dad, as that would stimulate Brother Long to start a dark rebellion.

Thank you for making my brother-in-law angry!

And now, he was inspecting the Tianling Fengxing territory with his "goddaughter" Yingmei, and little Paimeng was following them, looking back and forth in the station with his eyes fixed.

The headquarters of the Tenryo Bugyo is not far from the castle tower, and the architectural style is also grand and majestic, with flags of the Thunder Triple Tomoe everywhere.

But like Shinsuke, the old bastard Kujo Takayuki also built his residence very well, and the luxury of the interior decoration is no less than that of the castle tower.

This made Paimeng unable to take his eyes off. Logically speaking, Liyue was obviously richer, but as he looked along, the mansions of Inazuma officials were much more luxurious than those of Liyue, with only the Qun Yu Pavilion being slightly better.

It's a pity that the Jade Pavilion was destroyed in the battle... Therefore, it was difficult for Paimon to understand Ningguang's calm expression. Keqing also said at the time that if she saw her hard work destroyed, she would definitely pace, roll on the ground, and cry.

Oh, by the way, Paimon just remembered that Keqing said she was planning to build a villa on an island to live in her retirement. Rich women are different.

"Hey, there are so many Moras." Paimon's eyes reflected the light of Moras, and he whispered in Yingmei's ear: "Ying, why don't we persuade Xie Yan to stay in the castle tower? Didn't you sleep very comfortably yesterday? Even the bed in the guest room can sleep seven or eight people."

Yesterday, Xie Yan moved to the castle tower, and of course the two of them followed him. But even though they had seen the Jingshan Palace, the residence of the gods, on Xumi before, they were still shocked when they arrived at the castle tower.

How could the greedy Paimeng miss such a treat? If it weren't for the fact that Yingmei was as close to her as a sister, Paimeng would have urged her to stay overnight on the dragon bed at Xie Yan's place.

Yingmei ignored Paimon. The castle tower was luxurious, but she traveled to the seven countries to... yes, to find her brother, not her father.

While the two were whispering, Xie Yan glanced back at them, then started talking to Kujo Sara and several nobles around him.

The three magistrates have been tasked with important tasks recently. As the current top leader, it is natural for him to comfort his subordinates and boost morale.

"Saro, how is the preparation of the shogunate army going?"

"We are ready. Now that there is no pressure from the sea monsters, the shogunate army has enough manpower to support a major war."

Kujo Sara was eager to try. In her opinion, Xie Yan's doing this was equivalent to regaining the territory. As a general of the shogunate army, it was undoubtedly a great honor for her to be able to accomplish such a great feat together with the gods.

Xie Yan felt a little amused when he saw her expression as if she was ready to sacrifice herself, but he still said seriously: "I will deal with Tianyun, and the monsters in other areas will be handed over to the shogunate army."

"I have sent scouts to investigate the distribution of monsters on the island and draw a map. With the talisman you provided, we expect to complete the cleanup and purify the land on the island within three days."

"Well, there's no need to save the talismans like before. After a while, I'll have the community magistrate organize civilian training and supply them to the shogunate army before selling them to the outside world."

After returning with the Son of God yesterday, Xie Yan continued to study the mass production of talismans. He has already made a simple machine and a large number of talismans for this battle.

The future production process is to prepare the raw materials for the talisman paper, draw the spells, and inject the divine power of corresponding attributes. There is some technical content in the process, but ordinary people can also do it.

This opened up a new power system, provided many official organizations for the people, broke the aristocratic monopoly on technology, and by the way, started the process of catching up with the Kingdom of Winter.

As for why they didn't use the World Tree to copy the technology of the Kingdom of Winter... Xie Yan had thought about this, but the Kingdom of Winter had already completed the industrial revolution and entered the capitalist country, while Inazuma was still in the feudal monarchy, and even equipment like cameras had to be imported from Fontainebleau.

Judging from the industrial level alone, the gap between the two countries cannot be bridged. Even if Xie Yan replicated the knowledge, the Inazuma people would not be able to use it. Therefore, it is better to find another way and create an industrial path with Inazuma characteristics, using magic techniques to catch up with technology.

However, this process is still very long and will be subject to many problems due to the limitations of the technique itself, but it is better than doing nothing.

After chatting with Kujo Sara for a few more words, Xie Yan turned to look at the officials around him.

With the fall of the Kujo family and its affiliated family, the Takagi family, the newly appointed nobles of Tenryo Bugyo were obviously much more honest and indeed were assisting Kujo Sara wholeheartedly.

He knew the principle of using both kindness and severity, so he left them alone for a while before praising them: "The public security in Inazuma has improved a lot. I heard from Sala that it was all thanks to your overall planning. I will reward you together with this military achievement at the next meeting."

Several nobles were stunned for a moment, their faces showing fanaticism, and they immediately knelt on one knee to express their loyalty. Xie Yan continued to say a few nice words and played a game of harmony between the monarch and his subjects with them.

In fact, he himself felt that it was a bit fake, but he had to do this. Even Nashida had to do this when she was attending a meeting with the Council of Ordinances. It was because the officials just accepted this formality.

Fortunately, Xie Yan has a habit of facial paralysis, so he doesn't need to pretend to have a majestic but actually cute expression like his elder sister.

After a brief conversation, Xie Yan took Sha Luo, Ying Mei and the others out of the office area and came to the training ground near the base.

Leaving the rather depressing atmosphere, Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes unconsciously fell on Xie Yan.

When in Xumi, Xie Yan deliberately did not interfere in government affairs in order to let Nashida establish his authority. Ying had never realized that Xie Yan had such a majestic side. No wonder he was called the Crying God of Death.

In addition to completing the legendary mission of the Son of God in the past two days, Yingmei also took on many commissions from the public. She got to know Xie Yan a lot better, and even knew that he complained that the food was too slow to be served, so he did it himself, but it was mistaken for the stall owner's fault.

As for why I want to explore... ahem, after all, we know each other well now, so it's normal to want to know more, right?

While she was thinking in her heart, Xie Yan and Kujo Sara came to the center of the training ground.

According to the predetermined plan, the shogunate will send troops this afternoon, sailing south from Inazuma Castle to Pinghai Fort on Qinglai Island, so the soldiers are now ready to go.

Seeing Xie Yan coming, all the soldiers were excited, kneeling on one knee and calling out the god's name. Several teams that returned from the desolate sea had already spread the news of yesterday's battle.

Flags were flying and thousands of people bowed their heads. Even Xie Yan was slightly stunned by this scene. He had been able to enjoy such an honor because of his dream. Now he was truly recognized by the soldiers.

Drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman, wake up and take over the world!

After thinking for a moment and organizing his words, Xie Yan stepped forward with a normal expression and gave a pre-war encouragement on behalf of Kujo Sara, talking about the importance of the land of Qinglai Island to Inazuma. Just a few words brought the morale to its peak.

Looking at the tough and capable soldiers of the Shogunate Army, Paimon couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "No wonder the Thirty-Man Group surrendered directly when they saw the Shogunate Army. The cohesion of this powerful army is completely different from theirs, and the same goes for those annoying Fatui."

"Well, the Shogunate army is indeed very powerful. If talismans and other props can keep up, they will probably be able to compete with the Qianyan Army." Ying nodded slightly and gave a high evaluation.

Thanks to the intervention of True Lord Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea, the soldiers of the Thousand Rocks Army were basically preserved without any gaps. Even though they gradually declined due to the changes of the times, they were still the strongest army on the continent of Teyvat.

Watching Xie Yan encouraging people in front of the battle, although she was just following along for a visit, Yingmei inexplicably had a feeling of being the hostess.

She had reason to think so. Now that General Lei Dian was not here, and Coral Palace Xin Hai went to the island for mobilization yesterday, wasn't she the only lady left in the mansion?

Well, even though Xinhai wasn't there, Yingmei couldn't sleep most of the night because she couldn't experience the online experience.

She vaguely realized that something was wrong. It had only been two or three days and she was already experiencing some withdrawal symptoms. After being online for a few weeks, would she really be able to leave?

But Ying had already hypnotized herself with the reason that a small lie was not considered a lie, and she quickly suppressed her thoughts and followed Xie Yan to the warehouse area.

After walking for a while, she seemed to hear Xie Yan's call.

"Where is my daughter?"

Yingmei subconsciously responded, "Godfather, please let me lie down."

But she soon came to realize that she was just thinking about partying... Before she knew it, she had reached the "why not party yet?" stage.

No, this is not my problem, I just want to help Xinhai!

She looked up and saw Xie Yan talking to Shikanoin Heizo and a boy with brown hair and dog ears.

God's Mouth Paimon greeted first: "It's Captain Shikanoin, who is this?"

"Hello, I'm Wu Lang." Wu Lang responded politely, but the next second he took two steps back as if his hair stood on end. "A floating spirit that can talk?"

Goro has lived on an island since he was a child. He didn't know much about the outside world before the end of the war. He was frightened when he saw Paimon for the first time.

Paimon was so angry that he fainted. His chubby face was puffed up with anger. "Who are you saying is the floating spirit? I am Paimon the Platinum Star. The traveler next to me is the Golden Meteor, and I am ranked second in the Fire Moth Adventure Group."

Goro stared at it with wide eyes for a long time, then quickly gave a classic Inazuma bow: "Red Bean Paste Private Marseille!"

Ying and Paimon have already gotten used to it. Bowing seems to have become an instinct for the Inazuma people, especially the shogunate officials. There are even Fontaine's camera nearby.

Xiaolu quickly introduced the situation to both parties.

Xie Yan looked at Wu Lang curiously. He and Ying saw the portrait of Miss Hina when they were dating in Yaedo. Her autograph and peripheral sales were also very hot, and she had made a name for herself in the emotional column.

I can only say that Shen Zi is such a despicable guy. Goro, an honest man, still doesn’t know that Miss Hina is himself.

As for the matter of Goro joining the Shogunate Army, Xie Yan had already discussed it with Xiaolu last night when he went to have a drink. The Shogunate Army needed to set up police stations in every village, which naturally included the islands, so they recruited the old soldiers of the resistance army.

Of course, in order to prevent some people on the island from having any more evil thoughts, Tenryo Bugyo placed a "political commissar" and some elite members of the shogunate army in this force, and would conduct ideological education for the team on a regular basis.

Wulang was called here today mainly for the development of Qinglai Island.

As for Xie Yan asking Xiaolu out for a drink... he told Xiaolu about it the day he came back, so of course he wouldn't forget it.
