Another important reason why Gui Xianning is respected by the Japanese people is somewhat unexpected is language.

Gui Xianning's Japanese is obviously different from what the ronins speak, and previously, one of the reasons why the family sent him here was also that Xiao Guizi knew Japanese.

Because he spent a period of time with a group of Japanese experts in the company, ordinary Japanese is also considered to be passable, and everyone knows that he used a virtual brainwave interferometer to make up for Japanese before crossing, although the original intention of learning this was to go to Dongying to make up for girls after crossing over, so as to achieve his various "fun", for which it also led to a small craze for a group of high school students to learn Japanese, although this matter ended up being a bit anticlimactic, but his evil supplement for Japanese was still very effective.

Therefore, at that time, the family considered that Hou Wei and the two of them had about half of the garrison Huari, so everyone thought that it would be more appropriate to send someone who was more Japanese---- which was one of the reasons why Gui Xianning was able to go to Xin'an.

However, there is an important problem that people including Gui Xianning are not aware of: in this era, the Japanese language is divided into two categories: official and slang.

The difference between the Chinese, i.e., the nobles who spoke the official language, and those below the rank of samurai, including the merchants, spoke slang, was actually quite large, especially during the Edo shogunate period, which was very hierarchical.

So when Gui Xianning first came, he was a little confused in communicating with the Japanese people, because he could barely understand the slang of these Japanese people, but it was very strange that the Japanese he spoke could actually make these Japanese people understand more than half of them!

So after consulting Dr. Zhu Da on the Red Mansion and the Pride in the telegram, Gui Xianning learned that there are official dialects and local dialects in Japanese, obviously he learned the old world Japanese with official dialect as the main component, no wonder a group of Japanese people listened to Gui Xianning speak involuntarily bent over and bowed down with a humble attitude, he could clearly feel that the Japanese people respected him very much---- probably heard the official words of the nobles in his hometown.

However, this young and handsome "nobleman" in the eyes of everyone is actually the master who taught them their craft, so earlier at Hu Sheng's suggestion, these twenty ronins had all bowed to Gui Xianning.

In fact, the Japanese people are actually very happy about this move, they are all the lowest people in Japanese society, they are people who have not even had a surname for generations, and now they have a "master", which means that there is a "head of the family".

Don't underestimate this, for these ownerless ronins, it is very important to see if they have a suzerain or a family master, although the ownerless ronin is barely a samurai, but in the secular eyes of Dongying society, it is not as good as the ordinary tenant slave of the "family master".

In short, the ownerless ronin is not a glorious thing for the Japanese people, and now, it is indeed a happy good thing that there is suddenly a noble person with high skills who is willing to "take in" them.

Then Hu Sheng reported to Gui Xianning that these Japanese people actually have no surnames, which is simply unorthodox, since these Japanese people who have left their hometowns have apprenticed to learn art, and the teacher is like a father, it is natural for him to take the surname of the teacher, Gui Xianning also seems to understand when he listens to it, and feels that Mr. Hu is so lofty, so he agreed in a daze.

However, later Gui Xianning regretted this very much, it turned out that these Japanese people were not Japanese Chinese after all, their parents were generally illiterate, and the names they gave their children were very casual.

As a result, Gui Xianning found that there were all kinds of strange names in the roster of his employees at the time of payroll.

Names like Katsura Taro, Katsura Jiro, and Katsura Twenty-One can still be heard, but Katsura Black Fish, Katsura Bark, and Katsura Half a Bag of Salt...... Well, it is probably the first word or word that parents hear when they go out when the child is just born, and they use it as a nickname for the child, which is said to be a custom in many countries in the East......

But what the hell is this?!

Nima also has a ...... called cinnamon pig's head meat, cinnamon black egg, cinnamon chicken, and cinnamon salted fish Who are you scolding?!

So Gui Xianning finally couldn't bear it anymore after reading the roster handed over to him by Hu Sheng, and he immediately gathered these Japanese people together and announced, you still don't have the surname Gui, the Japanese people already have their own traditional surnames, or the surname is your own.

Gui Xianning's words made this group of ronins look confused, and they all said in a disturbed way, Did we do something wrong today and offend the master?

Why don't we follow Master's surname? Cry!

It's not like we're going to become homeless ronins again! Cry!

In the face of the violent mood swings of his subordinates, Gui Xianning listened inexplicably for a long time before he reacted, thinking that things are not so simple, so what should I do?

So he suddenly remembered that Brother Zhu had told him that the Japanese suzerain or head of the family has the right to "give a surname" to reward his subordinates who have military exploits or perform well, which is a great gift, indicating that he and his descendants may or gradually become a formal family in the future.

So Gui Xianning had an idea, and immediately announced to this group of ronins, oh, by the way, do you know what "Miao Zi" is?

Oh, you know? That's right, it's the official Chinese character surname, and now, I'm going to give each of you Miao characters!

Aren't there twenty of you? Then I will choose twenty surnames for you, as for your own names, you can keep them, how do you like to call them that, but in the future, I will only call you these "Miao characters"......

Everyone listened for a long time, and finally reacted, and then broke into tears and calmed down, although the ronin also knew that this kind of "surname" was not the same thing as the surnames given by the daimyo lords of Dongying, but no matter what, this was also a good thing, so they all sat down respectfully and listened to the announcement.

Now Gui Xianning is not verbose, he immediately asked Hu Sheng to take out a pen and paper, Gui Xianning said a surname, Hu Sheng wrote one in Chinese characters (of course, in traditional Chinese), and then handed it to each Japanese person in turn after writing, and asked each Japanese to learn on the spot, to be able to read and write their own surname, he also asked Hu Sheng to bring a piece of white cloth to tear into small pieces, let Hu Sheng write these surnames on it, and then sew them on the placket of the Japanese people to facilitate their own recognition and call each other.

However, when determining the "Miao character", it was a little stuck, at this time Gui Xianning did not have dictionary information at hand, and he knew that he couldn't take a telegram because of this and ask the people at home to help go to the computer data room to check the computer, then he would definitely be scolded, others didn't know, but at least Xiao Fei was definitely going to scold.

So Gui Xianning, who didn't want to be scolded, could only use his memories to give his subordinates the surname, and after scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, he finally remembered the Japanese experts he had received when he was in the old world chemical factory, what were they called? Pregnant! Kato! And Matsui! Kobayashi ...... Tanaka...... Well, who else? That girl...... Hirai! By the way, there are also famous wells! Okay, just don't do it and let's have another one, this surname is very good...... Well, Ito...... Blog posts? Actually, Xinheng is also okay......

Feed! **, how many are there?

Gui Xianning asked.

"Eight...... Nine...... Ten ......"

At this time, Hu Sheng exclaimed in his heart while writing, saying that this young master of our family has a lot of hills and valleys in his heart, look at the surname Chinese characters given to these Japanese people, it is simply elegant and elegant, and the meaning is allegory, and some of them are very lofty......

Of course, Hu Sheng didn't know that these common Japanese surnames did not gradually rise until around the era of the Meiji Restoration, and most of them only existed after the Meiji Emperor's "Miao Zi Must Be Called Order" was issued.
