After the country was demolished again

In the front yard of the house, Mulian saw herself holding Duobaowan's hand and walking towards the house. Anyone who saw this scene would probably be frightened, but of course she would not be a chakra puppet made by herself. Scared, not far away, a woman with the same face as her immediately bent down to salute after spotting her.

Mulian signaled the two puppets to follow her into the house, then closed the door and asked them about the past six months.

Generally speaking, nothing major has happened in the past six months, except that half a month ago, a few merchants clashed with the army of the neighboring country on the southern border, which resulted in the successor country having to send soldiers to suppress it by force.

Mu Lian is not interested in such small frictions. This world is not peaceful, and the country has had many frictions with its neighbors over the years, but they have never really fought, so she doesn't need to solve things that puppets can solve. No more wasting time.

"Besides this, there is one more thing. The Demon God Hall ordered by 'father' on the east side of the mountain to be protected during his lifetime. One of the twelve demon god statues inside suddenly cracked half a month ago. The retainers said it was an ominous omen. , hoping to hold a sacrifice to appease the wrath of the gods."

"Demon God Hall?" Mu Lian repeated the word, somewhat surprised.

Different from the Lost Belt, Mu Lian has been in this world for so many years. She knows that most people here believe in gods and Buddhas, and Jiguo is no exception. She married into Jiguo. Her mother-in-law, who died many years ago, believed in the sun god Amaterasu, and Her father-in-law is the complete opposite of his wife, who believes in twelve demon gods, that is, the twelve strange-looking stone statues enshrined in the demon hall.

With such a family, Yansheng did not show his belief in any gods and Buddhas. It is quite surprising to think about it carefully.

Mu Lian hadn't paid much attention to the affairs of the Twelve Demon Gods. After all, she had a special status, and it was too late to hide from the divine way, so how could she get involved and cause trouble for herself?Her understanding of the demon god enshrined in that ancestral hall was only the object of the old patriarch's belief, but Yansheng did not inherit his belief, that's all.

Because of the belief of the old lord, the Twelve Demon Gods also have a certain reputation in the territory of the successor country, and it is necessary to hold a sacrifice if the stone statue is damaged.Mu Lian had some ideas in her mind, and decided to put this matter and the iron mine matter on the agenda on the next meeting with the retainers, and then sent the two puppets down.

The two puppets she ordered turned into black shadows and disappeared into the shadow of the main house. They would not be summoned until Mulian left the country again.

After getting a general idea of ​​what happened in the country recently, Mulian went to find Duobaowan, who had gone somewhere. She took the little guy from the pond in the yard and brought him into the house, and asked the servant to deliver lunch. With a dissatisfied expression on his face, he laughed out loud after expressing his desire to eat the dishes cooked by Mulian.

"You can relax a little this afternoon, where would Duobaowan want to go?"

Duobaowan thought excitedly for a while, muttering the names of some places, but none of them seemed satisfied, and finally looked at Mulian in trouble: "No... Is there any place that mother wants to go?"

Mulian really has places she wants to go, but it's not suitable to take the little ones there, so she also shook her head, planning to spend the rest of the day with her son whom she hasn't been with for a long time.

"Then let's go to the street and have a look together. Speaking of which, my mother hasn't gone shopping for a while."

Go shopping easily and buy some sweets and snacks for your lovely children. It is true that Mulian has not enjoyed the ordinary daily life for a long time.

The day of meeting with the retainers was two days later. Mu Lian put on solemn and luxurious clothes to meet the retainers of the successor country, and had a more comprehensive understanding of the changes in the territory during the trip, and then rearranged the affairs in the territory based on what they reported. some affairs.

For the retainers, today's madam is more strict than usual. When asking them about the affairs of the territory, they are not only exhaustive but also able to find out the problem. They were all embarrassed.

Puppets don’t have too much intelligence, so when dealing with daily affairs, it is better to be safe, but Mu Lian naturally does not. She spends more time outside and is gentle. She only came back once in a while, to rectify the atmosphere before going out.

After beating a few retainers who were negligent, Mu Lian began to ask about the mine, which was the main purpose of her return this time.

"Speaking of which, since there has been a conflict with the neighbors, we should also pay attention to the maintenance of weapons on weekdays. How is the situation of the mine recently? Is the output and inventory of iron ore enough to consume?"

"The previously damaged weapons are being forged and replenished. The stock of iron ore is still sufficient. There is a fixed number of daily mining according to the old lord's rules. Madam, please don't worry about this." The retainer in charge of related matters immediately replied, how many A colleague who was beaten was in front, and his tone of reply was somewhat more respectful than before.

Mu Lian nodded, and then ordered: "Show me the account book of the warehouse tomorrow, and I will go to the mine the day after tomorrow to check the situation of the ore veins. If there is no accident, we will sign an iron ore transaction document with the priest family in Kyoto recently. You should pay attention to the quality of the iron ore, and make sure they are satisfied."

The vassals exchanged surprised glances, apparently puzzled by how Mulian made friends with the nobles of Kyoto thousands of miles away. After exchanging eye contact, the vassals pushed out by everyone asked Mulian, "Excuse me, madam, Why did the family of priests in Kyoto buy the iron ore we produced?"

"This is something that Yansheng had negotiated with them before. They just contacted me."

Faced with this problem, Mulian pushed Yan Sheng out as a shield. Anyway, these retainers would not be able to find Yan Sheng to confirm this matter. What's more, if it was really unfortunate, if anyone of them saw Yan Sheng, Yan Sheng would I won't make things difficult for her. After all, the Ghost Killing Team purchased the orangutan scarlet iron and smelted it into jade steel. After all, it is indeed sent to the family of priests, and the Shinto people will be enshrined for half a year to a year before they can be used to forge the sun wheel knife. , and when they outsourced the raw ore, it was indeed done in the name of the priestly family.

This sentence temporarily suppressed the retainer's doubts. After all, Mulian really didn't need to lie, so the matter related to the iron ore transaction was settled in this way for the time being. Mulian then arranged for the sacrifice. He didn't intend to meet the gods of this world, and asked the retainers to arrange it according to the rituals of the past, and added some more tributes to the sacrifices, so they left this matter behind.

Mulian, who wanted to complete the main agreement with the Ghost Slayer Squad as soon as possible, did not expect that these twelve stone statues that she had neglected would have a huge impact on her in the near future.
