The six code writers were placed in a side room of the daimyo mansion. Although most of the maids escaped and returned to their parents' homes when they killed Taro Oda, as Chen Changan stabilized his administration, these maids soon secretly returned In the mansion.
The first task Chen Changan gave these maids was to take good care of the six coders, both physically and mentally.
"Thank you, boss!"
Yang Tianhua, Wang Fugui and others opened the books and soon received their own tasks:
"Do you want to accept the side mission to assist Chen Changan in collecting information?"
"Yes!" six people said in unison.
After accepting the task, they were pleasantly surprised to find the task reward, which could obtain up to 0.33 favor of the deep sea world.
Chen Changan doesn't look down on the favor of the deep sea world, but this thing is essentially the halo of the protagonist. The higher the favor, the more likely it is that in the deep sea world, disaster will be turned into good luck, and adversity will be turned into good luck!
The six people immediately entered reading mode and continued to upload all book information to the system silently.
Soon, Chen Changan saw the progress of his task, which was rising slowly. In the blink of an eye, it increased to 0.88, and he couldn't help but said with satisfaction:
"Well, I will bring more books in the future, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work!"
This time the coders were extra sincere.
Chen Changan thought for a while and then said:
"Regarding the information on ghosts and gods, you compile a document and finally hand it over to me."
Chen Changan has always felt that there were many doubts about the former head of the Oda family who killed taxing ghosts and gods. However, because Oda Muro and others were too young, Oda Taro, the only person who had experienced that era, died in his own hands, so he only If you can find information from the pile of old papers, you may be able to find the root cause of the events that year.
"The system of taxing daimyo by the ghosts and gods has been running for thousands of years. Why did Taro Oda's father risk the disapproval of the world and kill that ghost?"
Chen Changan thought carefully and decided to walk out of the mansion and ask the elderly in the village about the situation.
After visiting several old men, I found nothing.
It wasn't until sunset that Chen Changan visited an old man over eighty years old and learned a little bit about the situation.
At that time, due to proper population control, the Oda Territory did not suffer from food shortages. Although it was weakened, it was still a relatively powerful daimyo territory. It was impossible to risk one's life and fight for a mere thousand koku of food. The battle between ghosts and gods whose strength is no less than that of a great swordsman is simply not worth the gain!
"So, what's the reason?"
Chen Changan fell into deep thought. When Yang Tianhua handed over the information about the ghosts and gods, he finally figured out something.
The ghosts and gods basically do not need to eat any food. Almost all the food they collect is stored in warehouses and rots.
Every year, a large number of poor people form groups and secretly sneak into warehouses to steal food to satisfy their hunger. However, the punishment of the ghosts and gods on these thieves is almost useless, as if they are letting the poor people steal and rob!
Even Oda Taibo started his career by stealing ghost warehouses and gradually grew into a powerful intermediate swordsman!
"Wait a moment……"
Chen Changan was thoughtful, summoned the ancestors of Yamamoto, and asked:
"Is the old team who used to follow Oda Taibo to steal the ghost warehouse still alive now?"
Mr. Yamamoto was stunned for a moment, then he counted on his fingers and said in surprise:
"It seems that they are all dead, either from illness or from fighting."
Chen Changan said in a deep voice:
"I need you to go to the mountains and forests and ask the robbers and thieves who have stolen the warehouses of ghosts and gods, if there are any people who have lived a long life?"
Mr. Yamamoto looked solemn, "Any questions?"
Chen Changan said coldly:
"Just go if you are told, don't talk so much nonsense!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Yamamoto's ancestors immediately rode horses to the gathering place of some bandits and bandits to inquire about the information about the ghost warehouse, and soon sent the information back:
The longest lifespan of those who rob the warehouses of ghosts and gods on a large scale is only twenty-nine!
Chen Changan's face was as dark as water, and he finally understood the true destiny of the ghosts and gods!
In ancient Chinese legends, there has always been a saying not to worship obscene gods. Once you rashly worship the temples of evil gods, you will suffer from a minor illness for three days to the death of your family!
Their rations are the luck of mankind!
The righteous god eats your luck and may help you when you are unlucky. It is a mechanism similar to insurance, but the evil god will take a shot and change places. How can he care about the needs of believers?
The ghosts and gods stored food in warehouses and allowed poor people to steal it. However, in fact, they secretly took away the luck of those people, making them miserable throughout their lives. They had no choice but to become bandits. Due to the high risk of banditry, , even if they died early, it would be difficult to notice the difference between them and the other bandits.
This is the grand plan of the ghosts and gods for thousands of years
Obtain a certain amount of food through force, and then obtain a lot of luck from thousands of people!
Chen Changan continued to read the historical information of the ghosts and gods, and found that the early Dongsang humans also seized weapons, food and wealth from the ghosts and gods!
Is this also intentional by the ghosts and gods?
What is the nature of luck?
It is the extent to which the pan-consciousness of the world cares for you personally!
In the early stages, humans took away the weapons and food from the ghosts and gods, while the ghosts and gods secretly stole the fate of humans as the protagonists of the plane!
The human authorities in Dongsang are obsessed with thinking that "if there is no food or guns, they will rob it from the hands of ghosts and gods." Chen Changan, as a visitor from another dimension, has seen through the plans of the ghosts and gods!
Think deeper!
They are all stowaways from another plane, and the sea elves have become increasingly trapped, reduced to the point where only Baku is left!
The emperor and the ghosts and gods, but the Dongsang aborigines, the protagonists of this world, have been fighting for tens of thousands of years, probably with the help of various stealing methods including the ghosts and gods warehouse!
Perhaps, the previous head of the Oda family discovered some clues, which led to the strong backlash from the ghosts and gods!
Make it clearer!
The sign of a person being extremely unlucky is that his family is broken up and his family is destroyed!
The Oda family has been in decline for hundreds of years. The previous head of the family's beloved wife and young son died of the plague, and he himself was beheaded by the eldest son himself. Isn't this the destruction of the family?
At this time.
Yang Tianhua adjusted his glasses, walked over and said:
"Boss, I just found another piece of information. The Onishin clan once planned to build a grain warehouse in Oda Valley Town. However, due to the massacre of Onishin by the previous generation of the Oda family head, this plan was abandoned."
Chen Changan was worried, "Is that warehouse still there?"
"It has been abandoned for a long time." Yang Tianhua flipped through the information: "Since the ghosts and gods were killed, no one has entered that warehouse!"
Chen Changan smiled slightly and said:
"Let's go and see the methods of the ghosts and gods."
