"Yes."

Takeda Ryoko nodded.

When Li Guanqi saw this, he immediately smiled.

Even if Wang Xiu's relics cannot be obtained until the beginning of next month, that will be enough. After all, he will not end his fifth one-year journey to the strange world and return to reality until the end of next month.

Assuming that the charged items are indeed inside Wang Xiu's relics, then he can be regarded as completing his goal.

"Don't laugh..."

However, Takeda Ryoko looked at the sunny smile on Li Guanqi's face, raised his hand and scratched his messy chicken coop, and lay on the table with a depressed look on his face, "I have to reach the minimum standard for this assessment. Grandpa

Will return all my space storage devices to me."

"ah?"

Li Guanqi's expression changed slightly, "Isn't it? Takeda, it's just a family assessment. If you don't get a good evaluation, forget it. You can't even meet the minimum standard?"

"Then they just can't achieve it! They just can't achieve it!!"

I don't know where this sentence hit Takeda Ryoko. Her mood suddenly became very excited. She kept slapping the table with her hands, and even shouted with a bit of crying, and mist began to appear in her eyes.

Looking extremely aggrieved.

Li Guanqi was stunned.

Tmd can you cry?

No, you are crying for Mao?!

But soon, he looked at Takeda Ryoko, who was disheveled and in a very poor mental state, as well as the messy papers scattered on the ground around him, which contained reports on Wenshui County's finances and other aspects... Looking at these, Li Guanqi finally came to a sudden realization.

Takeda Ryoko's mentality was actually on the verge of collapse.

During the three-month assessment of governing Wenshui County, this female warrior, who only knew how to use a sword, was obviously tortured to the point of incomprehension.

But why do you feel like crying?

If she decided to mess up and didn't care about the current situation of the county, then she would not behave like this at all.

There is only one truth.

——She is so kind.

Takeda Ryoko does not have the ability to govern Wenshui County. This is not terrible for her personally. What is terrible is that she is kind.

Faced with the poor people at the bottom of Wenshui County, and as the county leader, she is completely powerless. Her kindness prevents her from having a "bad mentality that doesn't care about the life and death of the people", but she feels deeply about it.

of self-blame and guilt.

In this state, she is actually equivalent to a camel that is loaded with things.

Li Guanqi's sentence "cannot even meet the minimum standards" seems to have little lethality, but in fact it is like the straw that breaks the camel's back, completely breaking Takeda Ryoko's psychological defense.

All the emotions accumulated during the past three months since taking office in Wenshui County completely began to explode at this moment.

However, after all, Takeda Ryoko is not the type to cry.

The moment her eyes filled with tears, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears, then lay down on the table, silent, and no more cries were heard.

Li Guanqi sat back in his chair and said nothing.

Last time in Heian-kyo, when he was eating takoyaki and faced Sofia who couldn't help but cry when she remembered her dead brother and sister, he also comforted her.

The result is very bad.

His comforting words had a completely negative effect.

So this time he learned the lesson - shut up and wait for Takeda Ryoko to regain a good attitude.

"I must be the most damned county leader in history..."

a long time.

Takeda Ryoko said in a low voice.

"Uh, why did you say that?"

Li Guanqi asked cautiously.

"Because in the two months since I took office in Wenshui County, more than 300 people at the bottom of Wenshui County starved to death. However, before I took office, no one starved to death at all..."

There was a hint of crying in Takeda Ryoko's voice again.

"I……"

Li Guanqi quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, blocking the word "grass" that he was about to blurt out.

More than 300 people starved to death in more than two months?!

How the hell does this woman rule?

Um?

etc.

That's not right.

Li Guanqi's face was full of surprise.

More than 300 people starved to death?

In the Sakura Shogunate, how many people at the bottom would starve to death?

It doesn’t make sense…

The weird world looks medieval, but in fact the productivity is much higher than the ancient medieval world in the real world.

The biggest reason for this is the existence of extraordinary power.

In the real world, mankind has truly solved the food problem mainly because of the gradual formation of industrialization.

As for the weird world, it has actually already achieved "transcendence".

In addition to the Daluo Dynasty, various countries have dedicated groups of magicians to conduct research on the improvement of crops, fertilizers, etc., as well as artificial rainfall from time to time, artificial magic to improve the land environment, and artificial magic to catalyze the growth of crops.

As well as artificial techniques to assist the development of animal husbandry and other measures to ensure that the people are well fed and clothed warmly.

However, although the Daluo Dynasty did not use conjurers, it also had corresponding magical instruments and equipment to achieve the same requirements.

And there are also families of different blood.

For example, artificial rainfall or something, if there is a drought problem, the imperial court will naturally send a seven-star alien blood warrior with the ability to control water to act as the "Rainfall Dragon King".

All in all, in this era of New Era 4871, there is no reason for a country the size of the Sakura Shogunate to starve its people to death.

Moreover, in Wenshui County, which has a population of only a few hundred thousand, 300 people starve to death. How can this be so bad?

Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing would not happen.

But Takeda Ryoko had no reason to lie to him.

So the result can only be that under the rule of Takeda Ryoko, something abnormal happened in Wenshui County.

"Let me guess..."

Li Guanqi's thoughts were like lightning for a moment, and his brain was running rapidly.

Not long after, he seemed to have thought of something, sighed helplessly, then stood up, walked to Takeda Ryoko, and patted the woman's shoulder gently.

"You first arrived in Wenshui County. After carefully understanding the local situation, you found that there are many different blood families in the area, exploiting and oppressing the lower class people, and living like a local emperor.

You, who are kind-hearted by nature, cannot bear to see such a thing.

So you began to use your authority as the head of Wenshui County to crack down hard on these phenomena.

But things went counterproductive.

Under your attack, "somehow", the phenomenon of exploiting the people has not weakened, but has even caused more serious consequences. "Somehow", many people cannot make money or eat.

This is just an appearance.

The underlying reason is the counterattack of the local different blood families who have been offended by you.

If you mess with them, they will mess with the people. Let's see who can't bear it first.

As a result, Wenshui County went from having no one starve to death to a severely impoverished county where more than 3,000 people died of starvation in two months.

I said, but..."

At this point, Li Guanqi stopped.

Because Takeda Ryoko, who was originally burying his head on the table, had raised his head and looked at him in disbelief.

"It seems I was right."

Seeing this, Li Guanqi couldn't help but nodded, his expression becoming increasingly helpless.

"How did you know?!"

Takeda Ryoko's face was full of shock.

"You'll know as soon as you guess."
