Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

He needs to be serious!

"The future will still be chaotic..."

Don't worry too much, everything will be alright.

Seeing that Kagura's face looked a little droopy, Kousaka Kyosuke touched her face.

He knew perfectly well that if something went wrong in the future, it would be the ordinary people who would suffer.

Ordinary people who lack the ability to withstand risks are destined to be the first to suffer when faced with natural disasters or man-made calamities.

However, Kyosuke Kousaka doesn't have much sympathy for other strangers.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

Whether or not Kousaka Kyosuke misinterpreted the meaning, his interpretation was that—he was already in a mess himself, yet he was still helping others pick up the pieces.

No normal person would do that.

"Yes, it will be alright, I know, but we still need to focus on living our lives well first."

Kagura's face was captivated by the caress, but she still managed to speak her mind.

I don't know when it started, but Kagura has become quite family-oriented.

Kyosuke Kousaka was deeply moved.

“I was aware that the expenses this time were quite large, so I was thinking about whether I could try doing some other business.”

"Lord Kyosuke, it would be safer to start with new businesses, and it's not so easy to get involved in businesses in the market."

Su Yi then spoke.

She was somewhat worried that Kyosuke Kousaka might make enemies because he was too eager to make money.

Currently, although she is worried about expenses, she is not in a great hurry.

Because the estate has three plots of land, or fifty cho (units of land), that Kousaka Kyosuke personally developed, which is enough to cover the annual expenses, and there will be a lot of surplus.

In particular, some of the improved varieties produced by Jingzi yielded about 20% more than normal, which makes the future even more promising.

There's no need to worry too much about the future.

With land and food, the situation is quite secure.

This is what Su Yi is thinking.

Therefore, they did not approve of rashly engaging in business, which could lead to conflicts with other nobles and put them in a precarious situation.

“I’ve thought about this. Just like you, Su Yi, I don’t intend to do business with other people. Look, these are the Yin-Yang magic tools I made…”

Kyosuke Kosaka took out a small, rectangular object with square lenses.

What is it?

That's right, it's a camera.

Although it feels very out of place, there's no other way to make money.

Now that we've found a reason, we can just say that we overheard someone talking about it during our patrol. Just make it as different from what modern cameras say as possible.

Will my identity as a time traveler be exposed? Heh, do I have to keep being careful and timid all the time?

There's a limit to being cowardly; otherwise, it becomes despicable.

He has thought it through.

We're still in a decent position right now, so we should do what we need to do when we're short on money!

If we don't quickly earn more money to strengthen our capabilities and develop rapidly, the future will be even more troublesome.

"Huh? What is this?"

Su Chang immediately revealed her curious side, pressing her face so close that Kousaka Kyosuke could smell a very pleasant fragrance.

Kagura is the same way.

Both of them were no different from children.

"It's about being able to clearly record what you see in front of you, in black and white and in color. Let's take a picture and see."

Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but said.

Su Chang's eyes lit up: "Great!"

As if guessing something, Su Yi asked in a low voice, "What conditions are needed to get the photo taken, right...?"

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed and said, "It's just that the paper takes some time to make, but everything else is fine. Come on over."

"Yes."

Su Yi walked obediently toward Kousaka Kyosuke.

After thinking for a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke placed Kagura in his arms, one on each side of her plain clothes, which fit perfectly.

Achieved the feat of having both on the left and right!

Immediately, Kyosuke Kosaka remotely controlled the camera, adjusting it to a suitable position to take a picture.

Even though it's completely out of step with the world's art style, as long as I'm happy, that's all that matters!

With the invasion of the Sea Kingdom, the days of peace in the future are becoming fewer and fewer. That is why we must try every means to make money and strengthen ourselves!

Click~

A slight sound.

A piece of paper was squeezed out of the camera's small port.

Kyosuke Kosaka raised his hand to take a picture with the camera, and quickly took the paper attached to the camera into his hand.

"how?"

"It looks so good!!"

"Exactly the same..."

"This……"

Su Chang, Kagura, and Su Yi opened their mouths, each showing a look of astonishment.

Kyosuke Kosaka understood perfectly well that, just like when the camera was first invented in the 19th century, it caused quite a stir!

"It feels like my soul has been sucked in!" Su Chang said again.

Kyosuke Kosaka smirked: "That's why I'm worried about people like you saying the same things."

I guess that's what many people who were photographed in the 19th century initially thought?

This cannot be called wrong.

"—That's not what I meant..." Su Chang waved her hand frantically, extremely anxious.

Kyosuke Kosaka gave him a light headbutt: "Don't overthink it. What you said is absolutely right. It's a situation that we absolutely have to consider."

The emergence of any new thing will inevitably be met with a lot of questioning and opposition.

Kyosuke Kosaka, fully aware that development requires funding, cannot compromise because of these objections.

Only by becoming strong ourselves can we easily solve many of the difficulties of the future.

Ok!

To be honest, Kyosuke Kosaka really didn't want to be unable to do anything just because he bought a few pieces of iron.

"Even a hero can be brought down by a penny" perfectly describes his current situation.

In order to avoid being put on the defensive, we must take the initiative!

That's just Kyosuke Kousaka's personality!

"Lord Kyosuke, what would you like to do?" Su Yi couldn't help but ask.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I feel that the best things should definitely be given to Master Dao first, and that statement is absolutely correct."

"Great! As long as the Daoist Master approves, no one else will object!"

Su Chang, touching her forehead, immediately agreed enthusiastically.

Su Yi tacitly agreed.

"If this item becomes popular among the nobility, it will surely generate great profits, and we will certainly get a share of the spoils..."

Su Yi knows a lot.

Over the years, I often heard my aunts gossip about various things, including conflicts between nobles. Naturally, I learned about many disputes over interests and gradually developed my own understanding of these issues.

In her opinion, one shouldn't earn so much without real ability, and even if one does, it should be kept hidden.

What about now?

Su Yi believed that her husband still had the ability to do so, and since this wasn't an attempt to create conflict, she naturally agreed.

You can't be afraid to do anything just because you're afraid of trouble.

At present, her husband's sect leader is at the height of his power, and her husband is working diligently to protect the capital. Therefore, doing business should not be a problem.

Kyosuke Kousaka thought the same thing.
