In the open space paved with cement in Yinshan Port, among the tents that have been erected.

The Japanese people lined up, led the dishes and chopsticks, and then beat the rice and noodles in turn, and then went to the dishes.

Kotaro holds a large thick bowl in his hand, very large, and fills it full of fragrant rice.

These rice are said to be made from rice from Champong, Siam, and Annam in the South Seas, and it is different from the rice of the Wa Kingdom, and it tastes very good.

He heard that it is said that here in Nanyang, rice can be harvested three times a year, or even four times, and growing rice here in Nanyang is very simple, you only need to sprinkle the seeds into the field, and you don't need to work hard to manage it at all.

Kotaro used to be a farmer and knew very well that growing rice was very hard.

This year, three crops, or even four crops, do not need to be managed, and the yield is very high, he can't think about it.

Soon, he came to the place where he was cooking.

I saw my wife Miko all of a sudden.

"The kids are there, aren't they?"

Kotaro hurriedly asked.

"It's all here, the kids are playing by themselves, don't worry."

Miko replied while she was busy.

"So, have the kids eaten?"

Kotaro asked with concern again.

"I ate them all, I was full, and I ate the leftover dishes of the adults, including pork."

Miko said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good~"

Kotaro nodded reassuringly, put on the dishes, and went to eat.

The Ming people are still quite good to them, they adults work here, and children can also come over to play, and when it comes to meals, once they are full, they are indispensable.

It is enough to have food and vegetables, and it doesn't matter if it's left over or not.

Ate a full meal.

They also have an hour's rest.

The Ming people said here, it's summer, it's too hot at noon, and if you work at this time, it's easy to get heat stroke and die.

So at noon, they don't have to work, they can rest.

"Everybody's coming, everybody's coming~"

Kotaro wanted to find his own Haizi and see them, when his foreman came over and shouted loudly.

Hearing the foreman's voice, everyone hurriedly surrounded him.

The same is true here in the entire harbor area, and here in each area, each foreman gathers the people in charge of himself and gathers together to convey the words from above.

Kotaro looked at his foreman, a man he knew, his name was Taro, and he was also a commoner without a surname.

But this person has a strong learning ability, and often comes into contact with the Ming people, and after coming and going, he actually learned some Ming words, and was promoted to the foreman by the Ming people, and was also given a Ming surname by the adults who came from the Ming Dynasty - Dong.

So now it's also called Dong Taro.

It is great to have their own surname, but on the Wa side, only nobles and samurai can have their own surnames, and commoners are not allowed to have their own surnames.

Unless it is a case, that is, there are nobles who are willing to give surnames, then they can have their own surnames, and having their own surnames means that they have left the commoner class and belong to the nobility and samurai class.

Taro in the past, Taro Dong now.

It was the old man who raised his head and the old man, and he walked like a rocking boat, with his nostrils facing the sky, and he was not good.

There's no way, who told him that he already has the surname of Daming now.

Although everyone is the people of the Ming Dynasty, but in the end they are still Japanese people, and there is still a difference between the Ming people, everyone in the Ming Dynasty has a surname, and the ancestors are basically bullish.

The Japanese people are different, this can be said that the ancestors have been civilians for generations without a surname.

Of course, everyone doesn't know that the person who named Dong Taro may just casually think of a surname for him, but he didn't expect that Dong Taro's identity has changed dramatically.

Surnames can be passed down from generation to generation.

In the Wa Kingdom, there is a world of difference between having a surname and not having a surname.

"Everyone is fine, I just received an order from the county commander, as long as some of you are diligent and work hard, when the time comes, the county commander will select some outstanding people from among you, give you the surname of Daming, and promote you to be a foreman, management and the like."

Dong Taro looked at everyone and announced to everyone the latest order of the Yinshan County Prefectural Order.

"Really?"

Hearing Dong Taro's words, Kotaro asked in disbelief.

Not only him, but all these people around him couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true, how can the words of the county magistrate be false?"

"As long as you work hard, behave well, and learn the Ming language well, you can have your own surname in the future."

"With the surname of Daming, you can get rid of the status of civilians in the future, and your children and grandchildren can go to Daming to take the imperial examination, and maybe you can go to Daming to be an official in the future."

Dong Taro nodded solemnly and said.

"Great~" hot book

"Great~"

Hearing Dong Taro's affirmative words, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

On the side of the Wa Kingdom, it is too difficult to have a surname, and there have not been many since ancient times.

If they want to get a surname, the possibility of them being civilians is almost zero, and they have been civilians for generations.

But I didn't expect that as long as I worked hard now, the county magistrate would give everyone a surname, which was definitely a good opportunity to turn over.

Don't look at it as just a surname, but the meaning is completely different.

As far as Dong Taro in front of him is concerned, his arrogant demeanor seems to be very normal to everyone.

Even with a surname, many people are willing to marry their daughters to him, because the surname represents the nobility and samurai class, represents identity and status, and is the most precious thing passed down from generation to generation.

After the cheers, the crowd's eyes turned red for a moment.

They looked at each other, they were all competitors.

There are definitely not many people who can be given a surname, and if you want to get the opportunity to be given a surname by the county magistrate, you must work hard and perform well.

Thinking of this, Kotaro didn't care about resting, staring at the big sun and coming directly to the port, and continued to work hard.

Seeing Kotaro go to work, the other Japanese people also hurried to work one by one, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn over, absolutely have to grasp it firmly.

Soon, the entire Yinshan Port became lively again.

There is no need for someone to manage, and there is no need for someone to urge, these widows are very hard-working, serious, and careful in their work, and they all hold back their strength to get their own surnames.

Inside a house that has been built in Silver Mountain Harbor.

Ling Tong Yuan, the county magistrate of Yinshan County, looked at Yinshan Port with a smile on his face, which was busy again.

"It's still the teacher's strategy that works well~"

"Just a surname makes these widows desperate."

Tong Yuan was originally the same knowledge (equivalent to the deputy county magistrate) of a county in Beizhili, and after Yinshan County was included in Beizhili, Liu Jin also recommended his student Tong Yuan to Emperor Hongzhi to come over as a county magistrate.

Well, the virtuous don't shy away from relatives.

Emperor Hongzhi agreed to Liu Jin's recommendation after a little consideration, Yinshan County is not as special as other counties in Daming.

Tong Yuan is a student of Liu Jin, and he can be regarded as the son of a master, and if he comes to be the county commander, Emperor Hongzhi will be more relieved.

"My lord, you are still clever, just by giving a surname, these widows will work like crazy, it is estimated that it will not take a few months for this Yinshan Port to be built."

By Tong Yuan's side, Zhong Tongrong, the same acquaintance of Yinshan County, said with a smile.

"Haha, this is not my idea, it is my teacher's idea."

Tong Yuan smiled and shook his head and said.

"Was it Lord Liu's idea?"

"Lord Liu is really worthy of being a son of a master, and he has such a deep understanding of the Japanese Kingdom."

When Zhong Tongrong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Tong Yuan's mentor, he knows, Tong Yuan can come to Yinshan County as a county magistrate, and that is also recommended by his mentor.

For ordinary people, it takes many years to become a county order from Tongzhi.

But Tong Yuan, who only worked in the position of Tongzhi for less than a year, became a regular and became the county commander of this positive seven products.

People are more popular than people.

Zhong Tongrong is a lifter, he is already in his forties, if it weren't for the need for many people in Yinshan County this time, he might still be preparing for this imperial examination at home, and he wanted to be named on the gold list.

It is possible to be an official, but you can only wait for there to be a vacancy on the side of the court, but it is different for a jinshi like Tong Yuan, who is directly assigned by the court.

Tong Yuan is only in his twenties now, and he is already in the county order of the seventh grade at a young age, and he is still a fellow in his forties.

Not to mention Tong Yuan's mentor Liu Jin, who won the champion last year, in just over a year, he is now a member of the fourth grade, and he also has a knighthood, and he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the future is promising.

This is also why he stammered the Tong Yuan in front of him, Tong Yuan, Tong Yuan is a student of Liu Jin, and he will definitely be able to follow Feihuang Tengda in the future, and he can also have the opportunity to be promoted.

"Is there any news from Da Ming?"

Tong Yuan smiled and asked.

"Yes, some of the caravans that went to Nanyang have returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the Marquis of Taiping occupied Manila in Luzon and renamed it Crescent City, and all the caravans that went to Nanyang are said to have made a lot of money."

"In addition, Lord Liu and Lord Wang sent envoys to the steppe, and it is said that they quickly subdued the Tatar tribes."

Zhong Tongrong told the news he received here.

"Well, if you count the time, it's almost time to come back."

"Where has the fleet for the Golden Continent arrived?"

Tong Yuan nodded, then thought about it and asked.

"According to the news of the merchant ships coming over today, they have almost arrived on Kyushu Island, and they should arrive here in our Yinshan County in the next few days."

Zhong Tongrong replied.

"I'm finally going to arrive in our Yinshan County."

Hearing Zhong Tongrong's words, Tong Yuan couldn't help but light up in his eyes.
