Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

Chapter 68 What is the most expensive

"Master, the person who unveiled the list is here, do you want to meet?" A Yuan saw that Ji Zong was a little free, and asked gently.It has been more than a month since the tsunami, and summer is coming to an end, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.The vassals became more honest after the food turmoil, and they were a little more respectful and cautious towards Ji Zong, not daring to treat her like a child anymore.The finances have slowed down, so don't panic if you have food in hand, Ji Zong is recruiting capable people in the domain to build the dam, but this list has been posted for more than half a month, and I only heard the reply today.

Ji Zong was waiting, nodded and said, "I can see you now, let them come." She pushed the file in her hand and stretched it slightly.After a while, Ah Yuan led the two women to the meeting hall.Ji Zong looked at the two men refreshedly, one was younger and the other was over middle age, they bowed down to Ji Zong.

According to her age, the older one said first, "The villain Dahata just hid, and I have seen the feudal lord." She saluted again, and the dark gray Wu suit made her more restrained and upright.

"Villain Izawa Ya, I have met the feudal lord." The young woman was dressed more casually, with aqua-blue gossip on top and dark blue culottes, which were somewhat similar to Yoshimune's white top and blue bottom, except for the material texture of the clothes. Something was different, Ji Zong narrowed his eyes, thoughtful.

Ji Zong was ready when Ah Yuan went to lead the people.She took out two paper tubes from the long desk, and walked in front of the two of them.Both of them were stunned for a moment, and stepped back one after another. When Ji Zong came between them, he spread out the two pieces of paper in the open space.The two subconsciously looked at it, and saw that it was a drawing of two places, but, different from the current painting style, there were many numerical values ​​marked on this picture.

Dahata just hid these two pictures, frowning slightly, with a hint of scrutiny, while Izawa Ya's eyes were shining, he half raised his head, and looked at it carefully.Ji Zong looked at the expressions of the two of them, and had a general plan in mind. "I want to build a field weir here." Ji Zong clicked on one of the pictures. "Here, build a reservoir." She clicked on another picture. "I want to hear the opinions and suggestions of the two of you."

Both of them straightened their bodies, knowing that they were going to test them, so they looked at the picture more carefully for a while. After a long time, the two of them bowed down to Ji Zong, indicating that they had finished reading. "Which of you two will come first?"

The two looked at each other, but Izawa Ya bowed to Ohata Saizo, signaling the other party to invite first.Dahata nodded and said

"This field weir makes it impossible; the reservoir is unlikely." Dahata Saizang frowned slightly. She was used to repairing field weirs. Although the blueprint for this place was a bit strange, she also took a look. Probably, it's doable.As for this reservoir, the risk is too great, and she is not very sure.

Ji Zong didn't ask her why, and turned to Izawa Ya, who asked, "I don't know where the field weir is built, where the reservoir is built, what are the purposes of each, and how much time, money and manpower will the feudal lord give." Ohata Saizou glanced at Izawa Ya suspiciously, this young man is too frivolous, how could he speak to the feudal lord like this.Just seeing her confident demeanor and very disciplined speech, Ohata Caizang also kind of likes her in his heart.Originally, among scholars, farmers, businessmen, workers were ranked behind farmers, and most people who could farm would not choose to work, so she also cared for the younger generation.She coughed lightly, signaling Izawa Ya to pay attention to her identity.

Izawa Ya smiled and nodded to Ohata Saizo, accepting her affection, but then turned to look at Yoshimune, "I don't know who drew this picture." She continued to ask.Ji Zong nodded in his heart, but did not answer her question, and said to Dahata, "In this case, please come and preside over the construction of this field weir. Please report the materials and manpower in advance, and the feudal lord's mansion will fully support it." Ji Zong After winding up the scroll, he handed it to Ohata Saizo.The latter took it with slightly excited hands, made a big gift, and said, "I will live up to my trust!"

Ji Zong waved his hand to signal her to go down, and someone came to lead her down and explain the follow-up matters.Izawa Ya was the only one left in the meeting room, and she was not restless, waiting for Ji Zong's decision. Anyway, it was stated in the notice that even if she was not hired, she would not be punished.Moreover, she glanced at the pictures on the floor again, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Where were you before, and what projects did you participate in?" Ji Zong slowly rolled up the blueprint of the reservoir to be built, and asked while scrolling.

"The villain is in Nagasaki and participated in the construction of 'Dejima'." Izawa Ya said neither humble nor overbearing, but she was full of confidence from beginning to end.

"What is 'Dejima', let me tell you." Ji Zong rolled up the scroll, held it in his hand, and tapped his palm lightly.

"Reporting to the feudal lord, 'Dejima' is an artificial island at the mouth of the Nagasaki River, and it was reclaimed from the sea just like Edo."

"Why did Nagasaki build this 'Dejima' and what is it for?" Ji Zong threw back the question she had just asked.

Izawa Ya secretly raised his eyes to look at Yoshimune, but in his heart he paid more attention to this feudal lord who was younger than himself. "Our country's foreign trade port is only Nagasaki. Dejima is specially built for Dutch merchants. All Dutch merchants live and do business there."

Ji Zong's eyes lit up. She just saw that Izawa Ya's dress is not like the people of today. People nowadays like to use colors to stitch together, but Izawa Ya's clothes are obviously influenced by Westerners. The same color matching is stitched with shades, and , The material on her body is not what the current weaving technology can achieve.Also, Izawa Ya accepts new things very quickly, and she has the courage to try, and she is organized.However, after asking, Ji Zong became interested in "Nagasaki". She naturally knew the general situation now, but she didn't know how far it had reached.For new things, whether it is the shogunate or the emperor, they are all secretive.

"Oh, did those Dutch businessmen introduce other things. For example, medicine, astronomy, mathematics?" Ji Zong asked curiously.

Izawa Ya opened her eyes in surprise, "Lord, have you ever been to Nagasaki?"

Ji Zong shook his head, of course not, and now that each region is divided, she can't just go to other people's places.

"Then how did the feudal lord know that the Dutch are good at medicine and astronomy?"

Izawa Ya's words were equivalent to answering Yoshimune, who happily tapped his palms and stuffed the scroll into Izawa Ya's hand, "You keep this scroll, I'll send someone to you, you go to the field to investigate, if you need someone, you can bring it up , How much money, in a few steps, make a plan."

Izawa Ya felt that this was the shortest interview she had ever seen. She also tried to work independently, but because of her age and other reasons, she was always questioned a lot.There are too many people who don't understand engineering, but they are willing to point fingers, don't give what should be given, and don't ask what should be asked.Holding the scroll, her hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't hide her excitement.

"Just, feudal lord, how many years do you want to use this reservoir."

"A century-old plan! So, you have to tell me whether it can be done!" Ji Zong showed a smile, and Izawa Ya suddenly felt that maybe it could be done. "Also!" Ji Zong interrupted Izawa Ya's stunned, and the latter quickly bowed his head, "When you left the island, did you know anyone, whether it was astronomy, geography or medicine, could you find some! I We treat each other generously here! Even if we don’t want to stay for a long time, I have already ordered people to build a “interpretation room” by the bridge at the foot of the mountain and invite them to come and give lectures! Food, lodging, travel expenses are all included, and there are generous gifts!”

Izawa Ya's mouth has not been closed since Yoshimune began to speak.She didn't understand, but she understood what Ji Zong meant, her heart was pounding, maybe, the fate of these craftsmen could be changed just like this.She held back her excitement, and solemnly saluted Ji Zong, "The feudal lord will do everything in his power to do what he entrusts!"

Ji Zong nodded, waved her hand to signal her to back down, gearing up, a little excited, great, a lot of knowledge can be used, and people don't have to be burned to death as monsters.I don't know what the current level of science is. It was about the eighteenth century, which was also a heyday.It is also necessary to find some great Confucians to cater to the current mainstream culture.Ji Zong couldn't hide his excitement and got up, pacing back and forth, Nagasaki, Nagasaki, it would be great if he could go and have a look.However, even if you can't go, you can send someone to buy some things.What she wants most now is a chair!Sitting cross-legged on the ground every day, she was really worried that she would also get bow-legged.

"Master, the person in charge of 'book keeping' asks to see you." A Yuan saw Ji Zong happily pacing, knowing that she was happy to recruit someone, and was also happy for her. However, there are many problems in reality. No, the person in charge of money just heard I found the money they might want to pay, and found it.

"The villain has met the lord of the feudal lord."

Ji Zong sat back in front of his boss, ready to deal with real problems.
