Jiang De looked at the people below, coughed, and then said, "Hideyoshi, you can help me translate." ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded, and said loudly to the below, "Attention gentlemen, today is the first day of your class, Mr. Jiang will teach you a class, Mr. Jiang is the top person in front of the Marquis of Pingyin, he can teach you a class, it is a blessing for you!" Now Mr. Jiang is invited to speak for you! ”

Jiang De looked at the many young or old people below, nodded and said, "Gentlemen, congratulations, because you are one of the very few people in the Japanese Kingdom who have had the opportunity to become a master in the past thousand years, and at the same time, I want to feel sympathy for you, because you will bear the pressure that ordinary people will not bear."

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you a few stories today. ”

Jiang De looked at the people below, he knew that if he wanted to take the Wa Kingdom, he must first win the hearts of the Wa people, and the Wa Kingdom had been a family for thousands of years, making the common people dare not think about such a thing as rebelling against the imperial court.

Jiang De continued, "I always like to walk around everywhere I go, and a few days ago I came to a farmer's house to drink water, and when I saw that they were eating wild vegetable dumplings, I asked them why they didn't eat rice.

The farmer replied to me that his family was poor and could not afford to eat rice.

I asked him again why he was poor.

The farmer told me that because of this year's harvest, there was too much rice to sell at a price, so he was poor. ”

Jiang De looked at the expressions of the people below and continued, "A farmer has grown more than a dozen stones of rice, but he can't eat rice himself because there is too much rice, you say, does this make sense? ”

The expressions on the faces of the people below are different, although these people are from poor families, they naturally know that such things are not uncommon, and they can be explained in one sentence, the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants.

Jiang De continued: "There is such a folk song in our middle school, you listen to it, the mason, who lives in a grass house, weavers, has no clothes; Those who sell salt drink light soup, those who farm the fields, and eat rice bran; grinding noodles, eating melon seedlings, stir-frying, just smelling fragrant; The bed that weaves the mattress and the dead end of the coffin. ”

What do you think? ”

One of the widows said, "What the gentleman said is true, but isn't that the way the world is?" ”

"But is that how the world should be?" Jiang De asked rhetorically, "Is the world the world of one person, or the world of the world, this is the question you need to think about here."

The imperial court is the representative of the people of the world, so what role should the imperial court play in the world, this is also a question you need to think about here...."

The sky was getting darker, and Tamamo, who was preparing dinner, wiped the sweat on his face, because Sakabe was made the battalion commander, so he was also assigned a good residence, although it was an iron house built by Jiang De who exchanged for it, but it also had a place to stay.

The concession has just been established, and many things are still simple.

"Father-sama is back?" Tamamo saw Sakabe and Takenaka coming in together, and hurriedly got up and bowed and said.

Sakabe nodded absentmindedly, and then asked Takenaka to sit down and said, "Takenaka-kun, can you feel something today?" ”

Takenaka's face was also worried, he nodded and said, "What this gentleman said today is a word that I have never heard, but every time I think about it, it makes perfect sense, my country has become richer and richer and poorer for thousands of years, whether it is really my country is a problem from the root." ”

"yes.... Finding a way to live for the poor, this is something I have never thought of, no matter which adult is under them, they all want to seek wealth for themselves, only Pingyin Hou, think of the poor... Brother Takenaka, if you look at the words on this booklet, the military discipline on it is unheard of. He even emphasized that he should be friendly in buying and selling, went to the farmer's house to borrow things to pay back, and helped them chop wood and fetch water when he had time... This is really..."Sakabe said with a low face, "Takenaka-kun, I always feel a little heavy in my heart now, you say, can our people live the life of the Song people?" ”

Takenaka thought for a moment, then slammed a hammer on the table and said, "Okay! Definitely! We are all human beings, so why can't we live a good life? Didn't Mr. say that the Song people also had bitter times, their court also had mediocre times, and their officials also had people who were prey and flesh, but they dared to resist and dare to knock those faint officials to the ground... Can't we? ”

"You mean overthrowing the court?" Sakabe's eyes widened, which was simply a subversion of his outlook on life.

"Father, what are you talking about?" Tamamo came over with the food and asked.

"Nothing... Tamamo, how are you and your mother living here? Sakabe asked with a smile.

"Although it's a little smaller here, it's all complete, and although the walls are thinner, they can keep out the wind and rain, but you can't practice arrows, it's just a little boring." Tamamo said with a smile as she laid down the meal.

"That's good..."Sakabe nodded, satisfied, after all, everything has just begun.

"Knock knock!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Sakabe looked at the door strangely and said, "We just came here, who will look for us?" ”

Yasuko Sakabe walked to the door and opened the door, and one of them arched his hand and said, "May I ask if this is Sakabe-kun's residence?" ”

"Yes... Who are you? Yasuko Sakabe looked back at Sakabe, who stepped forward, saw the person coming clearly, and hurriedly said, "Isn't this Toyotomi-sama?" Come on in! ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a breath, once upon a time, he was still a beggar who knelt on the ground begging for food, and to this day, even a samurai like Sakabe has to bow to himself, who brought all this, he will not forget, he clenched his fists, and then said, "Sakabe-kun, I walked here, and suddenly saw your nameplate, no, it's time for dinner again, I want to use an excuse to eat, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

"It's convenient, Toyotomi-sama is naturally convenient to come here."

Although Sakabe and others have only been here for two days, they also know that the various dignitaries in this concession, this Toyotomi Hideyoshi is the top of the Japanese people in the concession, and it is said that even the Marquis of Pingyin has praised him, and he can catch the line, which is naturally eager for Sakabe.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi walked in, just in time to see Tamamo get up, the two glanced at each other, Toyotomi Hideyoshi only felt like a lightning strike, and stayed there.

"Toyotomi-sama?" Sakabe didn't pay attention at first, but it was strange to find that Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't continue walking, and he looked down Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes and saw his daughter there, and suddenly secretly cried out in his heart, shouting, "Tamamo! Why don't you go in and help your mother cook a few more dishes? ”

Tamamo hurriedly lowered his head and walked to the back kitchen, Toyotomi Hideyoshi came to his senses, came to the seat and sat down, first sneered, and then said, "Sakabe-kun, Takenaka-kun, welcome to the Settsu Concession, I welcome you on behalf of the Marquis of Pingyin." ”

The two hurriedly took a sip of their wine glasses, and then Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked, "Two, how do you feel after listening to a lesson from Mr. today?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Takenaka said, "Today's one-day lesson makes me feel like a different world, my country has been weak for thousands of years, and the people have been poor for thousands of years. ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded and said, "Mr.'s class is indeed refreshing, for thousands of years in my country, we have not had a chance to get ahead, but the Marquis of Pingyin told us that this opportunity is not waiting for it, it is not begging, but it should be brought with our fists!" Fight for it! ”

The two of them nodded involuntarily.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi continued, "It's just that you say, with our own strength, can we fight for this opportunity? ”

Takenaka said, "If you want to get such an opportunity, you can only rely on knives and blood, the strength of our Hanmen is too small, and we can only rely on Pingyin Hou to do it." ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded and said, "But is this good for the Marquis of Heiyin?" Think about it, the Marquis of Pingyin is the marquis of the Song State and the ruler of Goryeo, and our Wa Kingdom has always been unattractive to the Central Plains, and if we want the Marquis of Pingyin to help us, we must give something. ”

"The Wa Kingdom also has the land of three islands, with a population of millions, although it can't be compared with the Song Kingdom, but it can be regarded as some money and food...."Takenaka said in a low voice, "If the imperial court is overthrown, the position of the lord of this country is naturally the Hou Ye's sitting, isn't this enough?" ”

"Enough, not enough! Hou Ye is a native of the Central Plains, his eyes must be staring at the Central Plains, the Wa Kingdom is a rural place for the Central Plains, unless there is someone who can often speak in the ears of the Hou Ye, it is difficult to make the Hou Ye heart to the Wa Kingdom. Toyotomi Hideyoshi finished speaking and looked in the direction of the kitchen.

The two of Sakabe were stunned for a moment, followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes, and immediately understood.

"Sakabe-kun, the Hou Ye of the Central Plains is a more noble person than His Majesty of our country, Yuzao is not a loss to marry the Hou Ye!" Takenaka immediately grabbed Sakabe's hand and said.

Sakabe was a little panicked, and he said with a floating look in his eyes, "That... That's the Marquis of Pingyin, although Yuzao has some appearance, but after all, she is just a widow, can the Marquis of Pingyin, who was born in the Central Plains, take a fancy to it? ”

"Yuzao is the first beauty I have ever seen, even the flower carving adults around Mr. are inferior by three points, as long as Hou Ye sees Yuzao, he will definitely be tempted, as long as Hou Ye receives the flower carving, everything will be much easier in the future." Toyotomi Hideyoshi gritted his teeth and said.

It is impossible to say that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not interested in Tamamo, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi has been poor all his life, and he finally has today, and what is more important in his heart is how to maintain his status today.

"Then how can you dedicate Yuzao to the Marquis of Pingyin?" Takenaka asked, "I heard that Mr. Jiang is going back today, do you want him to dedicate Yuzao to the Marquis of Pingyin?" ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded and said, "I have this intention, Mr. Jiang will leave the day after tomorrow, and we will introduce Tamamo to Mr. in the next two days, and let Mr. dedicate it to Master Hou." ”

"Alright! In that case, I'll listen to Toyotomi-sama! ”

——

Jiang De looked at the sea ships one by one, and asked lightly with the folding fan in his hand, "How?" When can I go? ”

"It's going to be on board right away." Hua Diao smiled and said, "I can finally go home, and the food here is too unpalatable." ”

"yes, next time I come, I'll definitely bring more cooks." Jiang De nodded and said, after all, no matter how delicious the sashimi is, you can get tired of eating three meals in a row.

"When we go back this time, we will start to reorganize the army, and in the next one to two years, I'm afraid there won't be any major wars." Jiang De sighed and said, "I'm also going to go back to Liangshan to have a look, it's been more than a year since I came out." ”

When Hua Diao heard Liang Shan, he also thought of his brother, and couldn't help but be a little stupid, Huang Da came over at this time and said to Jiang De, "I've seen the commander, and I'm ready to get on the boat." ”

"Alright, let's get on board!" Jiang De waved his hand and said, at this time, a guard came over and said, "Report!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi asks to see him. ”

"Oh? What could he do at this time? Bring it on. ”

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi has seen an adult." Toyotomi Hideyoshi Shili said, but Jiang De's eyes looked at the woman with a hat behind him, although he didn't see the face, Jiang De already felt that this was a beauty from the figure.

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who is this behind you?"

"My lord, this is the daughter of the Sakabe family of the Concession Guard, she heard about the deeds of the Marquis of Pingyin, and she yearns for it in her heart, and she is willing to recommend herself to the pillow seat, your lord, look..."

"For the Marquis of Pingyin?" Jiang De's eyes widened and he looked at the woman, and before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his waist, and he couldn't help but scream.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had lowered his head, heard the screams and hurriedly raised his head to look at Jiang De, who grinned at the flower sculpture next to him that had nothing to do.

"That.. Hideyoshi, I don't think there's a need for this, Pingyin Marquis him... He, he really doesn't need to! Jiang De hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"My lord, this is the embodiment of the loyalty of our Japanese soldiers, Miss Yuzao!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi said with a wave of his hand.

Tamamo in the back slowly took off his hat, and Jiang De, who was still waving, saw Tamamo's finely carved face, and his hand actually slowed down.

Even Jiang De, who has seen countless beauties in later generations, has to admit that this Yuzao in front of him is a real beauty, with skin like coagulated fat, eyes like stars, if you know some poetry, books, etiquette and music, and put it in Bianjing, I'm afraid that even Master Li will worry that it will become a wave that will be shot dead on the beach.

"My lord, if you dedicate this Yuzao girl to the Marquis of Pingyin, I believe that the Hou Ye will be very happy!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi said with a confident face. In his opinion, if Jiang De de's offering, the greatest credit must be Jiang De, and as Jiang De's hand-to-hand promotion, he will naturally not lose the credit.

There is a truth that big rivers are full of water and small rivers, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi understands it very well.

"I think, Xiao Langjun, you can accept it, such a big beauty is rare in the world!" After speaking, Hua Diao snorted, turned his head and left, Jiang De opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Yue Fei and a few others saw this, covered their mouths and snickered on the side, Wang Gui said hesitantly, "This is the first time someone has given a woman to the eldest brother, right?" ”

"Isn't it? When he was in Goryeo, those people wanted to sacrifice their daughters, but they were pushed back by Wu Junshi and others, in Wu Junshi's heart, Xiao Langjun's wife had to be a Han girl, no matter how she was. Niu Gao also gloated with a face of schadenfreude.

Jiang De looked at Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was a little overwhelmed, and stomped his feet angrily, if he refused at this time, I am afraid that those who had just joined the Japanese people would speculate wildly in their hearts, he was definitely not moved by the fact that Tamamo was too beautiful, and he definitely didn't want to hear any dirty thoughts like Ya Yan Butterfly!

Jiang De finally covered his face and turned back directly to get on the boat, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tamamo were standing, he didn't know what to do, he saw Niu Gao next to him, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Niu, this... Did the villain do something wrong? ”

Niu Gao said hesitantly, "That's right, my master nagged Xiao Langjun to marry as soon as possible some time ago, you are not wrong at all, let her go up." You're doing a great job. ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt something wrong when he heard this, swallowed his saliva and said, "Ushi-sama, Tamamo is... It's to be dedicated to Lord Hou..."

Niu Gao looked at Toyotomi Hideyoshi, stepped forward and said in his ear, "Isn't what is given to Hou Ye to Xiao Langjun?" Otherwise, who do you think Xiao Langjun is? ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi only felt like thunder sounding in his ears, his body shook, and he looked at the back of Tamamo getting on the boat under the leadership of Niu Gao, and all thoughts came to his mind for a while.

Lord Jiang is actually the Marquis of Pingyin? Oh, my God! How could there be such a bold Hou Ye?
