Chapter 107 Economic Cooperation (VI)
The shogunate army that attacked the Anda family and the shogunate army who faced the escort of the Great Song Dynasty mission seemed to be two worlds, and arrows kept flying out of the castle of the Anda family, and the shogunate army guarded the rushing car with shields.
The brawny men pushed the cart hard, and finally reached the gate of Anda's castle. On the city wall above the gate, stones, hot water, and rockets kept falling on the iron roof two fingers thick for the rushing cars, making all kinds of terrifying sounds. The shogunate troops under the iron roof pulled a huge ram, and the giant log wrapped in iron head slammed into the thick wooden gate again and again, making a violent crashing sound.
Under the impact again and again, the sound of the gate became more and more wrong. Anda's army had to come out through the side door to try to destroy the rushing car. If you let the car crash like this, it will only be a matter of time before the door is broken. The shogunate army rushed towards the Anda army with samurai swords and spears, and after a short battle, the Anda army was driven back.
After a while, the thick wooden door finally made a terrible sound and was completely smashed. The two sides fought a fierce battle around the gate, and eventually the Adachi army was defeated, and the shogunate army stormed the castle of the Adachi family.
Rokuro Hosokawa was an ordinary officer, he was in charge of the rearguard, and it was not his turn to play after the battle was over. By the time he entered Anda's castle, the afternoon of the second day had already breached the castle, and all the things that were in the castle were gone. All that remained was the corpses in one place, and it looked like there were hundreds of people.
There are still not many people in the empty castle, and looking at everyone's appearance, they all want to find some scraps and cold burn. When everyone met, they just smiled at each other and continued to walk according to their own ideas. Hosokawa Rokuro went up to the castle, and the broken wooden staircase looked like it had been burned, and he shook when he stepped on it, and he leaned against the wall to the top of the building, looking down from a high vantage point. The green fields in the distance, the dense woods as far as the eye can see, make him feel at ease.
All the gold and silver were things outside of the body, if they could be given land...... Hosokawa couldn't help but think.
After looking at it for a while, Hosokawa went downstairs. The results of the shogunate this time were very large, and there were some casualties. When the troops returned, they eliminated several of the 'Adachi family's comrades', and then returned to Kamakura. Not long after returning home, Hosokawa received an order to go to a temple in Kamakura. The monk in charge listened to Hosokawa's detailed account of the various circumstances of the battle and asked some more questions. Only then did he take out a bag and give it to Hosokawa. The bag is full of Great Song Dynasty copper coins, which are hard currency in the Wa Kingdom.
Minting copper coins was a high-tech job for the Wa Kingdom, and the cost was too high. In addition, the tax of the Wa Kingdom is a tax in kind, so they have not had the problem of using a lot of value. With the flow of copper coins from the Great Song Dynasty into the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom finally had copper coins for trading, which enlivened the circulation market of the Wa Kingdom. However, in recent years, a large number of Great Song Dynasty goods have entered the Japanese market, making the copper coins of the Japanese less and less. This package of copper coins has to be 500 Wen, which is not a small amount.
After getting the money, Hosokawa wanted to leave, but he couldn't help but stay. He carried the small bag and turned it around, and asked the monk tentatively, "But I don't know what news is worth the silver coins of the Song Kingdom." ”
"Want to earn credits?" The monk smiled.
Hosokawa felt that his face was a little feverish, but he still said, "Is there any news worth silver coins?" ”
"If so, I'll tell you." The monk said.
Finding that he didn't have a chance, Hosokawa Rokuro went disappointed. The monk looked at Hosokawa's back, and couldn't help but reach into his pocket and take out two silver coins and gently gouge them in his hand. The silver coins of the Song Dynasty are really exquisitely minted, and the Song characters on the front of the "consistent" and "made by the Great Song Dynasty Total Money Village" look very beautiful, and the plum blossom pattern on the back is extremely liking.
The Great Song Dynasty copper coins began to fade out of the Wa market, and the Great Song silver coins flowed into the Wa market. Consistent, 500 wen, 100 wen, and 50 wen silver coins were widely used in the Wa market. In particular, the silver coin of fifty wen is copper on the outside and silver on the inside, and it looks like there is an honest feeling of being undeceived. Nowadays, the Japanese people increasingly believe that silver coins represent wealth.
After Hosokawa left, other people came to talk with the monk. This time the conversation was worth more, and the monk directly gave this person ten consistent silver coins. Then the monk wrote a report and sent it away through the channel. The news was mainly about the purpose and specific means of the Kamakura shogunate's extermination of the Anda family.
Many of the lords who had gold and silver mines in their territories were accused of being 'allies of Anda', and were destroyed. According to information from within the Kamakura shogunate, the Hojo family sent special officials to supervise the production of gold and silver during the new land bonus. In addition, the Hojo family also made plans to control all the gold and silver mines in the Japanese country. The situation in which the gold and silver were completely exploited by the local lords was curbed by the Hojo family.
A large part of this news is now delivered through the water traffic of the Iyo Water Army. At this time, the head of the Iyo Navy is gathering here to receive their benefits. These benefits are not much, and the three thousand people who were compiled into the official roster of the navy were each given a pair of underwear and a pound of refined salt from the Great Song Dynasty.
Qin Mingxuan looked at those Japanese people with puzzled expressions and put on their underwear, and he finally felt a little more comfortable in his heart. Originally, he thought that the kneeling posture of the Japanese people looked very retro, but when he tried to be retro himself, in less than five minutes, Qin Mingxuan got up and strengthened his position of 'ancient but not modern'. Moving from kneeling to sitting cross-legged is often awkward for those who don't wear underwear. Qin Mingxuan remembered the "History of the Evolution of Chinese Clothing" that he read in college, which has a very clear statement about the ancients not wearing underwear.
At that time, Qin Mingxuan and his classmates looked at this book with a curious mind, and they were amused by the content that was too strange to look at. After Qin Mingxuan personally made a panty out of linen cloth and put it on in the Wa Kingdom, he immediately understood the value of silk underwear, and even understood why cotton underwear could defeat silk underwear in a short period of time and become the absolute mainstream of the Great Song Dynasty. So the welfare content is tentatively set at a pair of underwear every four months in the first year, and a cotton jacket at the end of the year.
In addition to these, Qin Mingxuan took the initiative to adopt the method of directly transporting salt to the Great Song Dynasty, and did not adopt the means of developing the salt fields suggested by Zhao Guanjia. The salt of Da Song is of very high quality and extremely cheap. It is not cost-effective to go through the trouble of building salt pans in the local area. Agricultural experts in the Great Song Dynasty suggested that citrus and tangerine production should be carried out in the local area with many mountains and slopes. In this case, the payment of salt is equivalent to the payment of wages in disguise.
Dasong salt is packaged in a bamboo tube, and there is a smell of bamboo after opening. Pinched out some snow-white fine grains and put them in their mouths, and the Japanese people couldn't help frowning. Despite this expression, no one was unhappy. Many people took the salt and looked left and right, and the white refined particles were so beautiful that they didn't seem to be the same thing as the 'salt' thing they usually eat. Just the appearance makes it seem that the salt of the Great Song Dynasty is more high-end and atmospheric.
After receiving the benefits, the Iyo Naval Army was very happy. Zhao Mingren had a sad face, and he complained to Qin Mingxuan: "I didn't expect these people to really have enough to eat. It wasn't so bad when I left home. ”
Qin Mingxuan already had the answer in his heart, he didn't explain, and said in a homely manner: "As long as we have the output that can be sent to the Great Song Dynasty, we can immediately transport food from the Great Song Dynasty to this side." ”
"At this stage, we can also fill our stomachs with something else."
"With what?" Zhao Mingren had some expectations for this Great Song relative.
"Eat fish." Qin Mingxuan replied.
Zhao Naruto was speechless. He never expected Qin Mingxuan to give such an answer, fishing in the era of the Iyu Water Army, if you could fill your stomach by fishing, wouldn't everyone have done it a long time ago!
After another two days, the fishing nets woven with sisal and hemp rope brought by the Great Song Dynasty were finally woven with the efforts of the fishermen of the Iyo Naval Army, and the boats began to go out to sea to fish. Although Zhao Naruto knew that sisal rigging was an excellent rigging for navigation, he still couldn't believe that he could use sisal rope to make a fishing net. The fishermen of the Iyo Suijun were equally worried, as they had never made such huge nets. The larger the net, the greater the force and the easier it is to break.
A fishing net is tens of meters long, which is a terrible behemoth compared to the kind of fishing nets they used before, which are at most ten meters long. Under the leadership of the experts of the Great Song Dynasty, the boats with ten oars rowed out, and it took a lot of effort to cast the net smoothly. The next morning, the net began to be closed. The two large ships erected steel supports and began to retract their ropes at the same time. There were winches and other tools, and the ropes were slowly wound back to the wooden wheels.
As the ropes tightened more and more, the wheels and ropes began to creak a little, apparently under tremendous force. Some fishermen couldn't help but touch the rope with their hands, only to feel that the rope was as tight as a hard wooden stick at this time, and there was no elasticity at all. Many fishermen prayed to the gods who did not know where. Some fishermen lay on their stomachs on the side of the boats, watching with bated breath at the gap between the two boats.
The air seemed to freeze, and everyone looked nervous. It wasn't until schools of fish began to appear underwater that these people were even more afraid to say anything. As the thick rope was recycled, the fish finally jumped out of the water, revealing their silvery figures.
"Out of the fish!" The fishermen couldn't help but cheer.
The fishing nets of the Great Song Dynasty are very large, which is the advice of the fishing experts of the Great Song Dynasty. Because the Japanese did not have experience in large-net fishing, the number of large fish in the sea is estimated to be very large. If you use a fishing net with ordinary mesh, I'm afraid that something will happen. As the experts expected, there were a lot of fish in the net, and they had to use a speargun to catch some fish that were more tossable before they could continue to collect the net.
Not only are there big fish, but there are also some huge crabs inside. Some of the more superstitious fishermen simply knelt down and chanted words in their mouths, and humans would have an indescribable awe of oversized creatures. For example, these big fish have a closer relationship with the god of the sea in the eyes of the fishermen of the Japanese country.
Although the fishermen would bow down to the big fish, and when it was their turn to eat the relatives of the god of the sea, these people did not flinch in the slightest. The big crab is grilled over the fire, and if you break off one leg, you can eat several bites. Most of the big fish were not eaten, and the old fishermen in the Iyo Naval Army knew that fish of this size could be sent to nearby lords and lands in exchange for some food. Everyone did the same, and only a few stayed to entertain Qin Mingxuan, the Great Song experts, and the leader of the Iyo Water Army.
The fishing experts of the Great Song Dynasty did not particularly care, for them to eat big fish has long been a habitual thing. Qin Mingxuan didn't particularly care, because the fish was very immortal, but the cooking methods were not as good as the ingredients. In addition, the fish is too large and the meat is not tender enough.
Zhao Mingren came up and toasted Qin Mingxuan, and then said, "But I don't know if I can catch so many fish when I go to sea tomorrow?" ”
For such a real leader, Qin Mingxuan laughed dryly, "Commander Zhao, I think it's all a fisherman's business, we might as well discuss other things more." For example, the people in the city must collect human feces and urine at regular intervals every day. ”
The cities of the Great Song Dynasty were developed, so they had to pay attention to hygiene. On the Wakuni side, advanced experience in the construction of public toilets has also been adopted. But the Japanese people are used to it, and they don't have underwear to delay their work, and these people pull the hem of their clothes on the roadside and let them go, and they can't control it at all. It is very difficult to accumulate fat in the mountains, and it is necessary for the guys of the Iyo Naval Army to be able to obey orders and listen to commands.
"Don't be afraid." Zhao Naruto replied very simply, "I will order that I don't go to the toilet during the day and the toilet at night, and if I catch it three times, I will cancel the benefits of the month." ”
Qin Mingxuan felt that this method was too rigid, but thinking back to the urban construction of the Great Song Dynasty, there were also many mandatory fines while building more toilets. Say no more.
Accumulation of fertilizer is the peak of China's agricultural development, and the use of biological recycling to make more effective use of accumulation fertilizer is the contribution of the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty. In addition to the Wa Kingdom, thousands of miles away, the Great Song Dynasty mission in Eastern Rome was sending the former chamberlains of the mission to discuss the plague with the Eastern Luo eunuchs.
The Great Song Dynasty put forward the statement that he wanted to drink boiled water, bathe frequently, and eliminate mosquitoes, flies, bedbugs, and fleas, but those Eastern Roman eunuchs did not care at all. For millennia, this has been a difficult thing to do, probably as difficult as eradicating a plague.
Waiting for the Great Song Dynasty to propose to regularly clean up the feces and garbage on the streets, encourage families to use toilets, and use vehicles to collect them and transport them away in the morning. The eunuch could not sit still. Although the special underwear is padded with soft tissue paper, which makes the eunuchs feel that the quality of life has been greatly improved, but such a solemn treatment of dirt makes the eunuchs feel uncomfortable. So someone asked, "What should I do with these things?" ”
The Great Song mission to Eastern Rome discussed this issue, and when he heard this, the ambassador said: "Outside the city, Julius' house has been plagued by the plague, and it seems that there is no one left dead. You can help us get in touch, and we will buy their land. And the Charsteens, with whom we have already spoken. We also bought their land outside the city. It is specially designed to treat these contaminants. ”
The eunuchs were silent, they didn't expect this group of people in the Great Song Dynasty to dare to do things so boldly. Ambassador Da Song took the opportunity to say, "If you don't want to, then forget it." This is, after all, a matter for your Eastern Roman Empire. ”
Hearing this, I thought of the citizens of the city who were dying every day. The eunuchs were downward, "Let's go and report to the emperor!" ”
