That day, Kyosuke Kosaka led a group of people to kill some monsters near the banks of the Arakawa River.
Zero casualties.
Day 158 of crossing
Kyosuke Kosaka spent half an hour going back to spend some time with his partners.
They then returned to Arakawa.
Upon returning, Kyosuke Kosaka began using magic to clear the land, with the others assisting him.
One acre of land was reclaimed that day.
Shrubs, dead plants, and waste on the wasteland were all turned over.
Further processing is needed; it's barely passable.
Day 159 of crossing
Kyosuke Kousaka used his more experienced magic to cultivate the land.
Others helped out.
Two hamlets of land were reclaimed that day.
Day 160 of crossing
He went back and came back, and that same day he reclaimed two hamlets of land.
Day 161 of crossing
He went back and came back, and that same day he reclaimed two hamlets of land.
Day 162 of crossing
Going back again... never mind, I'll just rest.
As Kousaka Kyosuke watched the group grow increasingly excited, he felt a deficiency of energy and blood in his body.
Of course, the choice was to stop.
Even cows aren't used like this.
"Almost half of the land is taken!" Su Chang said happily, shaking Kosaka Kyosuke's arm.
Kyoto is centered around a main north-south street.
Then, the left and right sides are divided into a neat grid pattern by crisscrossing streets – “fang”.
There are seventy-two in total.
In less than ten days, they had basically reclaimed half of the wasteland!
Even though it requires a lot of maintenance afterward, those chores are still easier than clearing land.
The biggest challenge in reclaiming wasteland is digging!
Kyosuke Kosaka simply used magic to pound and pound, making the land soft and fluffy.
They also picked out the troublesome tree roots and grass roots.
Everyone just needs to help tidy up, and there won't be any problems at all...
If this continues, things will get really bad!
"Lord Kyosuke, you're even more powerful than an ox!"
"Su Chang!" The woman in white, who had been smiling, suddenly frowned and scolded her.
Su Chang immediately realized what was happening and apologized with a forced laugh, "I'm sorry, Lord Kyosuke."
Kyosuke Kosaka coughed lightly.
"This is a kind of unconventional compliment, so don't say it in public."
"Yes!"
Su Chang immediately straightened her back.
Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly became worried that the girl's voluptuous breasts might tear her clothes.
Su Yi was somewhat confused about the situation.
What did Kyosuke-sama mean by praising someone?
She pondered for a moment, deciding to ask Su Chang later.
This younger sister has absolutely no manners.
That's incredibly tactless of you.
The next day, Kyosuke Kosaka organized a group of people to have fun and participate in various competitions.
I'm offering several spirit charms as a reward.
The spirit charms are made from ordinary wood, but mainly contain the spiritual power of Kyosuke Kousaka.
Therefore, it's a risk-free business, and you don't lose money.
It's just that it takes a lot of time and effort to make.
Kyosuke Kosaka considered his time precious, so he hardly made any.
Even if the success rate is very high.
"The environment here is great. You can hunt at Seven Corner Mountain not far away, and fish along the Arakawa River."
After only a few days, Su Chang was already very satisfied with the environment around the Water Department Office.
Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at the lively scene of the Qin family members laughing and joking in the distance.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You can come over often when you have time, anyway, there's not much proper work here at the Water Department."
The name of the Water Department originated from the Tang Dynasty.
Their powers are also similar.
He was in charge of water conservancy projects, irrigation, fishing, and other aspects, but in reality, he had little to do.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been abolished and established several years ago.
It's because they really don't do anything.
Kyosuke Kosaka believes there's nothing more he can do afterward.
He can't possibly manage things like irrigation or fishing, can he?
The irrigation system here is a huge pit.
Nobles considered the rivers and ponds near their estates as their private property.
How can Kyosuke Kousaka manage this?
In the original Hyouka manga, Chitanda's hometown experienced disputes over water resources in modern times.
Not to mention this era.
Kyosuke Kosaka didn't have the guts to care.
Then there's something else I have to mention.
That is—the Fujiwara clan is now the largest estate owner.
It seems that the Water Department will only be able to manage fishing from now on.
Indeed, not many noble families were involved in this area.
But you can't just sell fish, can you?
"Let's just treat it as a nominal title for now."
Kyosuke Kosaka made a decision in secret.
to be honest.
He didn't believe the Taoist priest really wanted him to exorcise demons or manage fishing, irrigation, or anything like that.
It feels like they're just giving him a nominal official position so he can arrange for his relatives to get paid for nothing.
Of course, there's also the possibility that he could develop his career here.
After all, the moment the Taoist priest promoted him to be the assistant inspector of illegal acts, he instantly became a subordinate.
There's almost no need for me to deny it.
From the perspective of the Taoist priest's opposing faction, Kyosuke Kosaka considers himself a red-named enemy.
They're the kind of person who will never show mercy if they can kill someone.
However, it was precisely because Kousaka Kyosuke became a vassal of the Taoist priest that he became so.
