If you think of "Wako" as a company. The boss and management of this company are all Chinese, but there are some Japanese employees among the front-line employees at the grassroots level, can this company be considered a Japanese company?

Of course not.

This is the state of the de facto Japanese organizations.

At that time, Japan's Warring States was in turmoil, and bankrupt samurai and ronin relied on the smuggling and maritime merchants of the Ming Kingdom to act as thugs. In order to avoid implication of their relatives in their hometowns, these smugglers also shaved their hair and dressed as Japanese people. Hence the term "Wako".

During the Jiajing period, the Japanese invaders ravaged the southeast coast on a large scale, from Shandong to Guangdong, and the entire Ming Sea was full of smoke, and it was such a group of "Japanese robbers" who caused chaos.

"Which sea lord is Brother Luo with?" Xu Yuanzuo asked.

Luo Zhenquan glanced at Xu Yuanzuo unexpectedly.

The reputation of the Japanese is too bad in Jiangnan.

Although their main job is armed smugglers, going ashore to rob villages and towns is only a side job, and kidnapping and extorting local tycoons is not just a matter of seeking wealth - more of a debt collection. However, they are by no means the Qi family army and the Yu family army with strict military discipline, and it is the norm to leave chickens and dogs wherever they pass by, and ** captivity.

At the time when the Japanese were most rampant, there were even records of the siege of the county seat.

Unlike the later generations of otaku who were full of romantic feelings for pirates, now it has only been nine years since the first pirate in history Wang Zhi was killed, and the people of Jiangnan still remember the tragic experience of the past, and no one will be so kind to the Japanese Kou as "Sea Lord".

"You've been to the sea too?" Luo Zhenquan raised his eyebrows: "No, how old are you?" ”

"No, I'm just ......" Xu Yuanzuo himself has not suffered from the scourge of the Japanese invaders, as a later generation, he has a natural hatred for Japan, and he has never personally experienced the pain of pirates in the southeast.

Of course, the three views must be corrected, and the criminal groups of pirates and maritime merchants who do not abide by the law and humanitarianism and brutalize the people must be severely condemned.

"I just think there's always a reason for people who go to the sea." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Who would go to the sea for no reason." ”

Luo Zhenquan sighed: "Indeed." or killed people in their hometowns, or their families were too poor to survive, and many of them were kidnapped and had no way to join. He paused, then smiled bitterly: "I am the most infamous when I go to the sea." ”

"Oh? What is the reason for Brother Luo? Xu Yuanzuo was quite curious. Luo Zhenquan has already said the main sources of the Daming pirates, but he said that he is different from these people, isn't this really puzzling?

"I just see that those who go to the sea earn more money." Luo Zhenquan said: "At that time, my head was hot, so I followed. ”

Whether it is to join the ranks or gather people to fall into the grass, or to go to the sea, the township party is always the best candidate. Think about it, if the pirates come from all over the world, and they have relatives in every village they go to, then how can they rob them? It must be to gather people from one village and rob people from another.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't expect Luo Zhenquan's original intention to be so straightforward, there was no bitterness and hatred, no forced helplessness, no excuse, just a "greedy" word!

For the sake of a "greedy" word, you can kill people and sell goods!

"If you think about it, Brother Xu will definitely look down on me." Luo Zhenquan touched his nose quite lonely: "Actually, I also look down on myself at the beginning." Looking back over the years, it was really harmful. Not only did it hurt those I didn't know, but it also hurt my father. ”

"The prodigal son will not change his money." Xu Yuanzuo took a deep breath: "Who doesn't want to be a good man and make people look up?" can only say that Brother Luo has taken the wrong path. ”

Luo Zhenquan stared at Xu Yuanzuo, as if he must dig out the mockery and insincere hypocrisy from his face.

"I mean really." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Don't hide it from Brother Luo, brother, my ambition is not small." Although I'm just a little guy now, there will always be a time when I will make a name for myself in the future. ”

"Brother, brother, I will advise you." Luo Zhenquan finally believed in Xu Yuanzuo's sincerity, but he would be wrong: "The imperial court is still powerful, I think that Xu Hai took tens of thousands of people to fight against the imperial court, and it was not a sparse fight?" I followed the old ship owner of Wufeng back then and began to run rampant in the East China Sea unscrupulously, but when it came to fighting with the imperial court, there was not one man in the five islands. ”

Luo Zhenquan said, his face was afraid: "The court is really not easy to mess with. ”

Xu Yuanzuo couldn't help but raise his head and laugh: "Brother Luo, if you want to get rich, you don't have to go out of the way. If my eldest brother does not believe me, and follows me for a ride, I will surely show my eldest brother that many legitimate businesses are more profitable than sea raids. ”

Luo Zhenquan didn't believe it: "Really? ”

Xu Yuanzuo raised his right hand and pointed to the sun: "I, Xu Yuanzuo, swear by the sun, that I must have unlimited scenery and get ahead!" Brother Luo, if you are willing to follow me, you will not live up to you! ”

Luo Zhenquan narrowed his eyes slightly: "How much salary do you give me?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo was a little discouraged. But grinning, there was a little smug in his heart: from Luo Zhenquan's words, he heard that this person was a profit-heavy person, and he had no remorse. In his heart, he felt that he was "harming others and harming himself", just because he was beaten by famous generals such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, and he didn't really realize that his behavior was against morality.

It can be said that Luo Zhenquan's thief's courage has been broken, and the thief's heart has not died.

Such a person is like an eagle dog, as long as the training is in place, he is a general!

Xu Yuanzuo said: "Brother Luo, you and I share weal and woe, love brothers, isn't it more important than anything else?" ”

Luo Zhenquan secretly said in his heart: What has Lao Tzu not seen at sea? Not to mention brothers against each other, there are many fathers and sons who kill each other!

He smiled slightly: "It's no problem for me to work with you, as long as the price is good." ”

Xu Yuanzuo sighed and said, "Brother Luo, let's talk while walking back." I have a story to tell you. ”

Luo Zhenquan thought that his father's anger should be gone, at least he wouldn't go back and be beaten, so he walked back with Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Yuanzuo told Luo Zhenquan how he got this errand for Lu Fuzi, and how he completed the tasks assigned by Xu Cheng with money, and finally concluded: "So you can't look at the front of you in the world." Didn't the ancients have a poem: The scenery should be long-sighted. It is to warn future generations that if you suffer a little loss in front of you and consume some strength, there will be a good reward in the future! ”

After listening to Xu Yuanzuo's story, Luo Zhenquan also had some admiration in his heart. However, he is a person with experience after all, and he is worried that Xu Yuanzuo will pull him to kill his head, so he bites and says: "Let you say that it is good to spend good rice and rice, after all, you have to look at the silver to speak." ”

Xu Yuanzuo frowned, and said in his heart: I have failed to brainwash such a high-end successful study? This man's dedication to silver is really unwavering!

"Now that I have no money and a helper, what do you say?" Xu Yuanzuo spread his hands.

"This ...... I don't know? Luo Zhenquan said in his heart: This is my, you ask me!

Xu Yuanzuo patted Luo Zhenquan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't know that I know!" What do you do now? What can you do for a living? Why don't you stop there and follow me every day. I will provide you with food and housing, and when you have a salary, you will naturally not be missing. You also happened to see how I walked step by step, and I just knew the truth that you can catch big fish by putting a long line. How is it? ”

Luo Zhenquan calculated in his heart: In order to get himself out of death row, the family was bankrupt, and the old lady was angry to death, and the two elder brothers followed Qi Ye to Jizhen, and the father sold himself as a slave and left his hometown to settle in Songjiang. Now I can't do anything, I rely on working for people to get by, and it would be good if I had a stable job.

"Did you hire me, or did the Xu family hire me?" Luo Zhenquan asked.

Xu Yuanzuo had the intention of subduing Luo Zhenquan, and said heartily: "It's all right." But now the Xu family may not be willing to hire you, you will work by my side first, and I will recommend you to the steward when I have the opportunity in the future. How is it? ”

Luo Zhenquan secretly said in his heart: After all, you are still young and don't know how to do it. If I enter the Xu family to do things, how can I be willing to serve you again? Can you also have a pavilion elder in your family?

Xu Yuanzuo saw Luo Zhenquan's expression change, and sneered in his heart: No matter who you do things for, can you escape if you are targeted by me? Back then, my brother and I fooled a team to abandon the high-paying and high positions of the top 500 and follow my brother to start a business and work hard!
