Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 251

This kind of thing was probably already in use in the Western Zhou Dynasty in the neighboring mainland.

They've been ahead for over a thousand years.

Naturally, Kyosuke Kosaka understood that such things would only be discovered if someone really took them seriously.

Otherwise, it would be like what the nobles and officials initially condemned as an insult to civility.

Change always makes conservatives wary, or even fearful.

This was especially true for superstitious nobles.

"So what are you planning to do?" Kyosuke Kousaka asked again.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna laughed and said, "Let's leave it at that for now, but I've sent people to look after those lowly people you know."

Kyosuke Kosaka looked completely at ease, without any ulterior motives.

"Then at least give me some people, I have no one to farm the land at my new manor."

He probably understood what Fujiwara no Michitsuna meant.

They must have discovered that someone in Kenzaki possessed important agricultural knowledge, and therefore they confined their freedom.

Kyosuke Kosaka had no objection to this.

The boss's interests come first.

He couldn't change it.

It's just a bit of a pity.

"Many refugees have come to the old capital, and the clans have also accepted quite a few. Go and choose some when you have time."

"Row!"

The problem was solved, and Kyosuke Kosaka expressed his satisfaction.

Where did you get this knowledge from?

"It was a maidservant that the Taoist priest gave me a long time ago. Don't worry, I will write down everything she knows for you."

"...She's your concubine?"

"Yes, do you want to meet him?"

"would you like?"

"I'm telling you to rest assured."

"What do you take me for?" Fujiwara Michitsuna laughed.

His handsome face was radiant with a hearty smile.

No matter what, they will give people a very good impression.

Kyosuke Kosaka, however, knew very well that this was a politician.

It's okay to have a personal relationship, but it's best to stick to what's beneficial.

Soon after, Shizuko was summoned.

"Call him Lord Daogang."

Before Shizuko could speak, Kyosuke Kosaka waved to her as she approached nervously.

Shizuko quickly bowed to Fujiwara no Michitsuna: "Lord Michitsuna."

Fujiwara Michitsuna smiled gently at Shizuko and said, "Kyosuke, you really have good taste."

Don't look at it too much.

Kyosuke Kosaka stood up and shielded Shizuko behind him.

A bewildered Shizuko could only lean against Kyosuke Kousaka like a silly goose.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna finally managed a wry smile.

"Alright, I know what you mean. You should also be careful about this."

"Thank you very much."

"I really don't see any gratitude in you. Besides, I have no interest in women."

"..." Kosaka Kyousuke was silent.

Doesn't something about this sound off?

Fujiwara Michitsuna gave another wry smile: "That expression of yours makes me very sad."

"Um, is there anything else?"

"Gone."

"Lord Daogang, please make yourself at home. I'd like to go back and calm down."

"Then I take my leave."

Speechless after being confronted by Kousaka Kyosuke, Fujiwara no Michitsuna wasted no time.

Based on the knowledge in the agricultural book, he had already discovered its great value.

This would bring even greater and more astonishing benefits to the clan.

Even if it's filthy, it doesn't matter.

Perhaps the Taoist master who truly understands everything also thinks this way?

After Fujiwara no Michitsuna left, Kousaka Kyosuke still held Shizuko and comforted her.

Shizuko slowly came to her senses.

"Lord Kyosuke, have I caused you any trouble?"

"There's hardly any trouble; the benefits far outweigh the problems."

Kyosuke Kosaka stroked Shizuko's hair.

He discovered that the girl really liked using lotus leaves for incense.

It has a refreshing and pleasant scent that is mixed with the fragrance of a young girl and a hint of youthful sweat, which is quite unique.

Even though the scent isn't in season, it's fine as long as it smells good.

"Ah, is it..."

"Yes, so let's sweat it out and strive for our ideals!"

"Hehehe..." Shizuko chuckled dryly.

She always felt that she had caused a lot of trouble.

Is it really okay to reveal so much knowledge all at once?

Will this have any negative impact on my husband?

And isn't the husband being a little too forgiving...?

Kousaka Kyosuke noticed Shizuko's worry and hugged her again, gently comforting her.

During this time, Shizuko remembered her brother Ayanokouji and asked him about it.

Kyosuke Kosaka readily agreed, saying no problem!

It's just that the time will be a bit later.

There's exactly one week left before the Four Gods Barrier is rebuilt.

At that time, Kyosuke Kosaka will be able to regain control of the Prosecution Agency.

Naturally, he wouldn't forget his brother-in-law, Ayanokouji.

Hikigaya is very loyal to me.

Ayanokouji is actually no worse than him.

Later, some of the manor's official positions will also be given to these two brothers-in-law to earn some extra money.

Therefore, it doesn't really matter whether Shizuko mentions it or not.

For some reason, Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but sigh again—there still aren't enough people.

What Kousaka Kyosuke needs is a trusted confidant who is completely his own...

Unfortunately, neither of their partners had an older or younger brother.

Otherwise, Kyosuke Kosaka felt that they could work together as brothers.

Chenshi.

Kousaka Kyosuke goes out again.

He had not forgotten what Fujiwara no Michitsuna had told him.
