I'm starting a mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 104 Resources are tight? Then go grab them

The news that they were going to France for an exchange activity called joint teaching, which was actually war employment, quickly spread throughout the streets of Tokyo, and the heavily guarded Seimei Academy was naturally also spreading the news like crazy.

Civilians on the streets were cursing the government's incompetence for sending a group of students to serve as mercenaries in the war.

Instead, the students of Qingming School were cheering "Long live" and supporting this decision.

Qingming Academy, as the name suggests, is a school that teaches Yin-Yang magic, and the students are carefully selected from the common people. Originally, a school that teaches extraordinary powers should not have any place for common people.

But facing the threat of Bai Ye's Demon Academy, in order to prevent civilians from running to Izumo, the wealthy families who controlled all aspects of Japan had to make concessions and allow civilians to enter the academy, and gave privileges such as tax exemption to stabilize the people's hearts.

The people's hearts and minds have been stabilized, but the problem of resource supply has become a big problem.

The Japanese government does have a method of producing ghost beads, but as a government, they cannot produce ghost beads in that way openly. Bai Ye can have a huge reserve of ghost beads by killing civilians. Anyway, she doesn't need these people, but the government does.

If word were to spread that civilians were killed to make the ghost beads, the government's credibility would completely collapse.

All of the ghost beads in Qingming Academy now were captured from the front battlefield, but this amount is just a drop in the bucket.

The academy had been in operation for less than two months, with more than 1,700 students enrolled, but less than 300 were assigned to Guizhu.

This shows how scarce the ghost beads are, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

The number of ghost beads that can be seized on the front line is far more than this, but the soldiers fighting on the front line are all apostles. Ghost beads can also enhance their strength, and the effect is immediate, so many apostles will directly eat the seized ghost beads after killing evil ghosts to enhance their own strength.

If the government had not provided a luxurious exchange list, there would be no ghost beads handed in at all. The apostles could use the ghost beads to exchange almost everything with the government, including houses, land, privileges, gold and silver treasures, even star fury, and even young ladies from famous families. As long as you can hand in enough ghost beads, everything on the list can be exchanged.

Even so, only dozens of ghost beads were collected, and the rest were all given by Toyotomi Hero and Yamato Nadeshiko. They may not be selfless, but it is certain that they do not need the ghost beads.

But now the road to the front line is also blocked, and the signing of the peace agreement has basically cut off the way to obtain the ghost beads.

As long as the evil spirits do not cross the border to kill people, the apostles can only watch helplessly.

Without the supply of ghost beads, the students who didn't have ghost beads in the school were already making a big fuss, but now things are different.

Minos promised to provide all students with an evil ghost, which is much better than the ghost bead.

Fighting power can be formed immediately without bleeding and wasting time. Currently, none of the students who are nurturing the ghost bead have succeeded, and becoming an Onmyoji is still a long way off.

Now we can achieve our goal in one step. A mere battlefield is nothing. Students are willing to brave mountains of swords and seas of fire!
"Okay, I get it. You need to take good care of yourself over there."

After hanging up the phone, General Tokugawa looked worried.

It was impossible to stop all the students from going to Europe to fight in the war, and he could only strive for the greatest benefit for the Tokugawa family.

"What should we do?"

He frowned and talked to himself. The situation this time was beyond his expectations. The conversation with Tokugawa Yaji just now made him aware of the situation in Europe.

These students will definitely not participate in the battle between the Hades Warriors and the Saints. They may not be able to enter the underworld at all and will only stay with the servant army.

Tokugawa couldn't even get in touch with them, let alone win over students.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that, while the top executives of a force are important, the middle-level and grassroots personnel who serve as executives are the backbone that keeps the force running stably. You can't let the boss do everything himself, right?
Those who do everything themselves are exhausted to death. What boss would do this?
The Tokugawa family now has Tokugawa Yaji, and has already stood at the top of the extraordinary field except for the gods. Although the number of apostles of the family has greatly decreased in the Tokyo Blood War, there are still a certain number of apostles existing.

The Tokugawa family does not seem to have such worries, but his is not the only family in Japan.

Not to mention the power of the Toyotomi family. With the Toyotomi heroes around, their strength is above that of the current Tokugawa family, but the growth potential of Onmyoji cannot be ignored, especially those students who come from commoner backgrounds.

It is absolutely true that genius comes from among the people.

Ghost beads are distributed in the academy based on the students' academic rankings. In this ranking, if one does not rely on various means to cheat to get extra points, there will not be a single child from a wealthy family in the top ten!

You can't say that these kids from wealthy families don't work hard or have no talent. Even if they don't go to Europe, they will still go to the battlefield to fight evil spirits.

Being sent to school to learn Yin-Yang magic is proof that they have talent cultivated by their family.

But this level of talent is still far behind those geniuses among the people who are selected from thousands of people, not to mention the level of hard work of those ordinary people, which is beyond their reach.

Their efforts are just efforts, but the efforts of ordinary people are risking their lives. They all have a deep hatred for Bai Ye, and they will practice to death as long as they don't die.

To nourish the ghost bead, the children of wealthy families are considered to be working hard with 10cc of blood per day, while the group of common people start with 100cc per day. The cafeteria provides free and unlimited food, and they eat and release as much as they can every day.

The ones whose ghost beads changed were all commoners, while the children of wealthy families were turned into ashes in seconds.

If it were just that, Shogun Tokugawa would be very happy that he would have a group of capable subordinates in the future, but Prime Minister Hojo used the excuse that Onmyoji had been serving the emperor since ancient times and forcibly added content about loyalty to the emperor and the country into the teaching content.

How can I tolerate this?
If the Emperor had his own extraordinary army, how could he, the Tokugawa family, still serve as the Shogun?
Is it the Shogun or the Emperor who commands the world?
What makes him even more infuriating is that those short-sighted guys from the Toyotomi family refuse to join forces with him!
No matter how annoyed he was, he still had to do what he had to do. Picking up the meeting report, he couldn't help but sigh that Hojo was really a pillar of the country and had deep calculations.

One foot he sent his students to Europe to fight in the war, and the next he urged him to send troops to South Asia on the grounds of expanding strength to cope with changes in the world situation.

Damn it, so you weren't the one who held me back and blocked my supplies some time ago, right?

It was a brilliant move to force him to take the Tokugawa family's envoys to the war in the name of sending troops, making it impossible for him to interfere with the students' trip to Europe or to attract new students.

He was under great pressure from the righteousness of the cause. If the Hojo family did not have Hojo Tamako guarding it, he would have arranged a divine punishment for Prime Minister Hojo.

But if he thought that he could suppress General Tokugawa in this way, he would underestimate him. Sooner or later, these students would come to the Tokugawa family on their own.

General Tokugawa was feeling smug about his secret plan, and he couldn't wait to see Prime Minister Hojo's bitter face as his plan failed.

Just as he was making sinister fun of Hojo Shonomi and Toyotomi's short-sightedness, a servant's voice was heard outside the study.

"Master, the princess of the Toyotomi family is here to visit you and is waiting for you in the reception room."

"The princess of the Toyotomi family? Is it the Toyotomi hero or someone else."

"It's His Majesty the Hero."

The Toyotomi hero is coming? Why would she come to Tokyo when she is not guarding the front line in Tamba?

Although General Tokugawa was puzzled as to why she came to Tokyo to visit him, he could not treat the other party's identity with common sense. He immediately went to the reception room to meet her. Tokugawa was not there, so the only one who could receive her was him, the general.

"Your Majesty the Hero's visit really makes my little house shine!"

"You are too polite, General Tokugawa. The scenery here is much more elegant than that of Osaka Prefecture."

Toyotomi Hideo was not lying. Tokyo was originally the base of the Tokugawa family, and having a mansion with elegant scenery was just a piece of cake.

But her compliments still made General Tokugawa laugh. With her current status and strength, being able to say something nice to others can really make people happy.

"If Your Highness likes the scenery here, why not give it to Your Highness? As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle, and a hero deserves a beauty. Your Highness is a beauty, so how about letting me give Your Highness a place to rest?"

"You are too polite, General Tokugawa. I have a nice place to stay in Tokyo, so I don't need to give you this gift."

There aren't many rules in the Toyotomi family, but one of them is not to accept gifts from the old turtle's family.

The old turtle was ruthless when it came to collecting debts. He even took over the Toyotomi family's empire.

"I came here mainly to talk to General Tokugawa about something. I was afraid that the messenger at home might not be able to explain it clearly, so I came here by myself. I hope General Tokugawa won't mind."

"How could that be? It is truly an honor for His Majesty to visit the Tokugawa family. How could I mind? Your Majesty, just say whatever you want to say. Tokugawa will never mind."

General Tokugawa smiled on his face but thought to himself, "Even if I mind you saying something different, would I dare to shut you up?"

Toyotomi Hideo also knows this, but it’s enough if she doesn’t mind. What does it have to do with me whether the other party minds or not!
"In that case, I'll just say it straight. I hope the Tokugawa family will stop interfering in the training of Onmyoji."

The scene suddenly turned cold, with only the bubbling sound of Toyotomi Hideo's Coke.

The warm smile on General Tokugawa's face instantly disappeared. Since he came here to discuss this matter, there was no need to smile anymore.

"I don't know what your Highness the Hero is talking about. When did my Tokugawa family interfere with the training of Onmyoji? My people can't get in at all."

"People can't get in, but after the army sets out, to whom will the ghost beads looted from South Asia belong?"

General Tokugawa was stunned. The plan was discovered! There is an undercover agent!

"General Tokugawa, times have changed. This is no longer the era when hundreds and thousands of people in the countryside were illiterate. The general should just do what the general should do and don't interfere in other matters."

"Humph! I won't interfere and leave all the Onmyoji to your Toyotomi family, right?"

"No, the Toyotomi family will not interfere. They will only become people of the country, not people of a certain family."

"That's all I have to say. General Tokugawa, please think about it yourself."

After saying this, Toyotomi Hideo left the Tokugawa residence with her own Coke. She brought this Coke herself and couldn't leave it to the Turtle family.
