Chapter 785

The people finally arrived above the rock wall.

Looking at the large white house built in the sea, everyone wore an expression of shock.

"This... what is this situation?"

"Isn't that the ocean? Why can a house be built there! It should sink, right? Even if it's made of wood, it shouldn't be this big!"

A station covering a full several hundred square meters.

Shocked everyone.

It was as if a small island had been built out of thin air on top of the ocean.

At that moment, the people remembered the stories Sangonomiya Kokomi had her soldiers spread over the past few days.

It was said that across the sea,

there would be a special means of transport that could send food and supplies over.

When that time came, they would only need to work hard.

They could completely escape their current life of poverty.

At first, people didn't believe it, but now they were all dumbfounded.

So it turned out all of this was true.

And just at this moment, from the distance of the ocean, a piercing sound came.

People only saw a black dot constantly enlarging in their field of vision.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

As the construction of the tracks entered a new stage,

the train finally had its trial run.

From seeing the shadow to the train arriving, the whole process took only fifteen minutes!

What an astonishing speed this was.

Thirty carriages arrived inside the yet-to-be-completed station.

Accompanied by the opening of the cabin doors,

a figure walked out from inside.

"First, unload the supplies from inside, be quick... we have a lot to do today."

"Yes, Lady Sucrose!"

The soldiers received the order.

They began to unload the cargo quickly.

Bags upon bags of grain were unloaded from the train.

And Sucrose found Sangonomiya Kokomi.

"You are the shrine maiden that Brother Su Han mentioned, right? Because it's just a trial run, we didn't bring much food and supplies..."

"No, I should be the one thanking you!"

Sangonomiya Kokomi thanked her while having her soldiers open those packages.

As the bags were opened,

inside appeared bags of rice and wheat!

Thousands of bags of grain were piled up in front of the people of Watatsumi Island.

People looked at that grain and couldn't help but swallow their saliva!

Revenge?

To hell with revenge!!!

They only wanted to eat their fill now.

Of course, the rice and wheat were just the prelude; when racks of pork ribs were unloaded from inside,

exclamations of shock rang out among the crowd.

"My god... so much meat, I have never seen so much meat in my entire life!!!"

"If I could eat pork every day, I'd do anything..."

"Slurp... me too, I... I haven't eaten pork in ten years!"

Listening to the voices of the commoners,

Sangonomiya Kokomi nodded to Gorou and took out the high-quality pearls she had prepared.

"There are three thousand fine pearls in total, plus some coral! Please count them... is this enough to exchange for these goods?"

"Hmm, the count is correct! Then this batch of goods is handed over to you..."

The voices of both sides were very loud.

It could be said that all the nearby commoners heard their conversation.

Wait.

Trade!

Almost forgot, those pearls could be exchanged for money.

And at this time, Sangonomiya Kokomi said to her soldiers: "Come, distribute the goods..."

"Yes, Lady Shrine Maiden."

The soldiers opened the goods, took out the bags, and began to distribute them.

However, they were not distributing them randomly.

Instead, they were calling names according to families.

"The Hakou family, twenty catties of rice... five catties of pork!!!"

"The Okubo family, twenty catties of rice... five catties of pork!!!"

"The Momoko family, twenty catties of rice... five catties of pork!!!"

Those who received the supplies cheered and jumped for joy.

No one had expected

that they would actually be able to obtain supplies upon coming here.

But as household after household received their items, people gradually noticed that some people did not receive resources.

Moreover, these were the very people who usually shouted the loudest slogans for revenge.

Until the roster was finished,

resources were no longer distributed.

Seeing that most people had received resources while they had not, those people began to shout.

"Unfair!!! Why don't we have those resources..."

"It's all a cover-up..."

"Sangonomiya Kokomi, you are colluding with people from overseas!!!"

"Everyone, don't believe her..."

Facing these accusations,

Sangonomiya Kokomi sneered: "Why don't you have food? Don't you know why in your hearts? You shout about revenge all day, but when it's time to go to the battlefield, why can't I see you?

Now that there is peace,

you refuse to acknowledge it.

You still stir up the hearts of the people, attempting to incite war.

Someone, seize them for me, interrogate them strictly. If anyone tries to spread rumors again in the future,

their status as residents of Watatsumi Island will be revoked.

Those people will not receive any distributed supplies! Including their families as well..."

"Understood!"

The soldiers had just received benefits, so naturally, they wanted to work hard.

In one fell swoop,

they quickly seized those eighty-plus people.

Today, Sangonomiya Kokomi was not only establishing her authority but also declaring her position!
