Captain Huang Zu traveled to the Ryukyu Kingdom with two Anhe-class warships to help them quell the robbers who were stealing sweet potatoes and potatoes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Nowadays, the Ryukyu Kingdom is very helpful to the island, and their people, both men and women, like to go to the Hachido River area to work, and then return home with the goods and money of the Hachido River to live for a while.

Anyone can find a job in the Badaohe area, even if they can only move bricks.

Zhang Guoan welcomes anyone who comes to Badaohe to look for work or opportunities, as long as they abide by the rules here and obey the orders of the patrol officials, those who work hard can get the rewards they deserve.

Since the supply of labor is still in short supply, the merchants who set up workshops here also have to pay higher wages than in the Great Song area...... Otherwise, they all went to the workshop or factory run by Zhang Guoan.

Zhang Guoan's method of expanding the trade route proved to be very successful, and he had already extended his influence as much as possible, leaving the rest to the merchants themselves.

If you have a lot of capital, you want to open a workshop in the Badaohe area, recruit laborers by yourself, and make the business bigger; If the cost is small, people buy their own goods and then bring the goods to sell them in a familiar place immediately.

The Great Song government could promote local officials or other maritime merchants for attracting overseas trade or give them a reward for official positions, Zhang Guoan could not do this, but he could attract them through benefits.

As long as you come to sell money, you can make money, and this is the most fundamental driving force.

Therefore, Zhang Guoan has less and less to worry about attracting investment, just as he does not have to worry about conscription.

After watching the conscription process, the prince of the Ryukyus Kingdom gained a lot, and on the way back, he and Captain Huang Zu had many topics to exchange.

The crown prince of the Ryukyus Kingdom said, "It turns out that the benefits of paying soldiers for work are so great that everyone is vying to join the army ......"

Captain Huang Zu said: "There will be brave men under the heavy reward...... But. Zhang Island Master just wants the team members to be dedicated......"

The crown prince of the Ryukyus Kingdom said, "Exactly! This is the professionalism that Zhang always emphasized......"

Captain Huang Zu said: "In fact, it is similar to the forbidden soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty...... It's just that the military is really high, and it never delays. ”

"That's right! When I return to the Ryukyus Kingdom, I must persuade my father to engage in business and set up many workshops! ”

"Prince, it's better to breed more buffaloes, and I see that the buffalo can be exchanged for more goods in the future."

"What Captain Huang said is reasonable. And the pigs and sheep, all of which are needed by the island! Let's make money together...... There is no end to it! ”

Captain Huang Zu also nodded in agreement, and he really understood this truth from Zhang Guoan.

It is true that the buffalo of the Ryukyu Kingdom helped the agricultural production of the island, but they themselves benefited greatly from this exchange, and they could obtain all kinds of useful tools, even if they exchanged money and went to the Great Song on the other side to buy some goods, and then went to Japan or Goryeo to sell them...... In fact, there are already villages in the Ryukyus that specialize in raising cattle.

Among the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Those who are willing to work earn quick money, but in a foreign land; Those who are willing to breed to earn money can earn some slow money, and they can do it at home; The cost of being willing to sell around is larger, but the money you earn is more.

The crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom found that there were fewer workshops in his kingdom not only than the Great Song Dynasty, but also than the Eight Daohe of Liuqiu, and he didn't care too much about it in the past, but. It was only with Zhang Guoan that he felt the importance of the workshop even more.

When you return to the Ryukyus, you must set up a few more!

When they arrived at Nakayama Island, they were warmly received by the king of the Ryukyus Kingdom. And more than 100 beautiful maidens were selected, and they danced the solemn royal crown boat on the dock.

It was a dance to greet the absolute dignitaries, and under the sun, more than a hundred beautiful maidens, wearing shiny silver ornaments on their heads, held hands. Dancing with great respect, all bowing their heads and bowing down......

The Ryukyu Kingdom King's Guard, dressed in costume similar to that of the Ryukyus Guard, salutes with guns.

The members of the two ships immediately returned the same courtesy, as if they had seen their teammates. A sense of pride and glory rose in the hearts of the players.

In the Ryukyu King's Palace, more than 100 members of the team were invited to the reception, and the banquet was rich in food and drink.

After three rounds of drinking, ten more beautiful girls in the palace danced to persuade the wine, and the dance was charming.

Huang Zu and the crown prince of the Ryukyus Kingdom sat on the left and right sides of the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was a position of great respect.

The king of the Ryukyus Kingdom already knew all the requests of the lord of the island, and he agreed to them all.

The king of the Ryukyus Kingdom promised Captain Huang Zu that if the problem of the pirates was completely solved, he would give each member of the team two buffaloes.

Captain Huang Zu smiled and said, "Island Master Zhang has a word. The Streamers are always a unit, and no member of the team can receive gifts individually...... In the next generation, the guards thanked the king for the reward.

However, in his opinion, the fundamental problem of solving the problem of the pirates was not in Shanbei Island, but in the guardian daimyo of Samoto in Kyushu...... I've heard that those robbers all have shaved their hair, doesn't that mean that they belong to the guardians of the daimyo? ”

The hair style combed by Japanese samurai is often scattered due to various reasons during the war, and the hair on the middle and front of the head will cover the face, block the view, and affect the battle.

As a result, some samurai shaved off the hair on the middle and front of the head, so that even if the hair was scattered during the battle, it would only be scattered on the sides of the head and back, and would not affect the vision.

Because of its effect, the samurai followed suit, and over time it became an unwritten tradition, although this shaving was limited to the samurai class.

As for those who are not shaved, they are also a few exceptions or commanders who do not want to be in the battle formation.

This hairstyle is called Tsukiyo, and there is also a reason why it is easy to wear a helmet on the battlefield and avoid stuffiness.

During the Kamakura period, people of high status, such as emperors, servants, and shoguns, wore their hair in a bun under their hats, and it was also popular among them to cut off their hair in a bun.

In addition to allowing the samurai to have a standard of uniform, the hairstyle of the moon dynasty also represents the meaning of loyalty to the monarch, so shaving the head of the moon dynasty indicates that he is in the domain and has a master.

The king of the Ryukyu Kingdom groaned......

On the way, the crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom also told him about the century-old grudge between the Ryukyu Kingdom and Satsuma.

In the previous Three Kingdoms period, Shanbei Province also caught Japanese thieves, but soon asked the guardian daimyo Shimazu clan to send someone back, and at that time, Shanbei Province often did not dare to refuse for various reasons......

The Shanbei Kingdom is weaker than Satsuma, and he doesn't dare to provoke it, so the unified Ryukyu Kingdom is still weaker than Sasuma.

So earlier, Captain Huang Zu remembered the "threshing grass" operation of Liao and Jin encountered on the border of the Great Song Dynasty.

So the key to solving this problem is still in Satsuma! (To be continued.) )
