Outside the mountain, the Qingshan Building is outside the building, and the West Lake singing and dancing will be closed. The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou.

Inside the restaurant, middle-aged people with traditional hairstyles chant poems, and then snort a few times with mocking expressions.

Several people at the table nodded their heads in opposition to the extravagance of those in power today. If we do not mention the fact that the Great Song Dynasty completely recaptured all the land of the Northern Song Dynasty in 327 and opened up a lot, only talking about the scene every weekend, this West Lake song and dance is indeed increasing.

As soon as Wen Tianxiang, the new secretary of the ministry, appeared at the dance party held by the ministry with a girl, he immediately attracted a lot of attention. The eyes of subordinates are generally occupied, and many women have a personal preference for the tall, handsome, and personable Wen Shangshu.

Wen Shangshu was super rich when he was young, and he had already enjoyed things like dogs and horses, and he himself was not addicted to **, and he put down a lot of things at this age. The purpose of this appearance is to bring you into a relationship. Because the lady was not in good health, she was accompanied by Wen Shangshu's daughter, and the officials of the Ministry brought their family members to meet Wen Shangshu and say hello. Many ladies noticed that Wen Shangshu's daughter was wearing a pair of earrings made of pink pearls. This girl inherited her father's appearance, and was dignified and beautiful, with extraordinarily fair and delicate skin. With this pair of pearls, it looks even more graceful and luxurious.

Dances are not the only entertainment in Hangzhou, such as the private room of the newly opened auction house, where pink pearls of the same style as Wen Shangshu's daughter are also being auctioned. The wealthy people looked at the pearls in the glass case, and most of them showed very appreciative expressions.

Compared with the magnificence of Hangzhou, the pearl production area of the Seto Inland Sea of Wakuni presents a rustic appearance that is praised by the 'white left'. To put it more bluntly, it still maintains a barbaric style of poverty. A steamship of the Great Song Dynasty docked at the docks, which had begun to emerge from the wilderness and looked higher than the average standard of living in the Wa Kingdom.

There were people waiting at the pier for a long time, and when they saw the ship docking, people in linen clothes immediately came up to prepare to unload the goods. The cabins were full of sacks, and the diminutive Japanese workers went in to carry the sacks out and carry them to the docks. If you look closely, the fabric and sacks of these people's clothes seem to come from the same source.

On the docks, the leaders of the Iyo Navy opened a corner of the sack to see if it was indeed grain, and took it away according to the roster. Zhao Mingren, the commander of the navy, wore a large Seinfeld suit and sat firmly on the high platform of the dock, condescending to watch the lively scene of grain distribution. A month has passed since the last pearl was delivered, and the Great Song ships have brought in grain as agreed, with a total of 5 million liters.

Zhao Mingren didn't know that Zhao Jiaren, who gave him the surname Zhao, had a hard time accepting the grain measurement unit of the Song Dynasty. In the 20th century, after the advent of reliable grain drying technology, the moisture content of grain could be controlled, and the calculation was calculated in units of weight. Previously, the unit of measurement was volumetric units. The 'liter' of the new Great Song Dynasty also began to be metric, and the original liter of rice was about 1.25 catties. Now the liter has become smaller, and a liter of rice is a catty.

The Iyo Navy recently recounted, with a total of 50,000 people and their families. Logically speaking, these people were to obey the orders of Zhao Naruto, the commander of the Iyo naval army, and in return, Zhao Naruto also had to ensure that they had a basic supply of one liter and half of food per person per day. The grain is distributed on a monthly basis, and this is the day of the grain release.

After watching for a while, Zhao Naruto got off the high platform and returned to the headquarters of the Iyo Water Army. One and a half liters of food a day is just not hungry, and if everyone is treated like this, they will not get everyone's loyalty. In the water army, the more you can provide for the Iyo water army, the more you will get.

Whenever there is an errand, even if it is an errand that rings the bell every morning, noon and evening, the daily salary is increased to two liters of grain, and every two months you can also get half a catty of salt. If they can do manual work, such as loading and unloading at the docks, those sacks are a reward for them. Whether it's for loading things or making clothes for their own family, it's up to them to choose.

The leader who went to the hall of the headquarters for a meeting would naturally get more. Once everyone was seated, Naruto first told him about the recent arrangement, and he was going to follow the advice of the agricultural experts of the Great Song Dynasty to plant citrus and lemons on the nearby hillside where there was no way to grow food.

"It's better to have more industries than just farming." Naruto concluded at the end.

"How are these people treated?"

"Two and a half liters of grain a month, three taels of oil. If you can do a good job, add more. ”

Edible oil is the most lacking material in the Japanese country, and this treatment is also a very generous treatment for pioneers. There was a light in the eyes of the leaders, and they began to consider who they should nominate to come. Before they could figure it out, they heard Naruto ask, "Shikaku, I want to ask something." ”

"What?" Lu Jiu answered.

"Why did you find His Royal Highness Qin of the Song Kingdom and ask him if he could sell him the pearls that your group was responsible for?" Naruto's voice was calm, but everyone who heard this felt a chill run through their backs.

Lu Jiu's face changed greatly, he didn't expect his small movements to be seen through. He immediately quibbled: "There is no such thing." ”

Naruto didn't decide the case in the first place, and he replied, "Whether you admit it or not, the thirteen groups of cultured pearls won't want you anymore." ”

Lu Jiu must have been in a hurry. There are four teams of cultured pearls, numbered thirteen, nineteen, twenty, and twenty-two. The job of these four teams is to take care of the raft with the cage from loss, and they are also responsible for the safety of the cage. We also have to see if the shells are still alive.

The work is not particularly heavy, but the pay is super good. They eat in the cafeteria, and there is a meat dish every day. There are also two bottles of wine per month. As a chief, the treatment is better. How could Lu Jiu give up this position.

"That's it. Meeting! Zhao Ming said.

No one pleaded for Lu Jiu, and some people had heard that Lu Jiu had indeed done something. Others are looking forward to achieving the status of Shikaku. Zhao Naruto stood up, he actually wanted to kill Lu Jiu. However, when he talked about it with Hinata and other core leaders, he was opposed by everyone. Naruto could only be content with kicking this guy out of the core of the Iyo Water Army for the time being.

Five days later, Naruto Zhao met with the core leader again. There was no Hinata in this, and Zhao Naruto asked in a cold voice, "Hinata hasn't come back yet?" ”

"She took someone to find Shikaku. He said he had to get him back. "Wisdom is the answer.

"How could he come back. Hinata thinks too much. Zhao Mingren sighed. He realized that he had completely mistaken Lu Jiu

"I didn't expect Lu Jiu to be such a person! Does he think he can escape our search? Swift said viciously.

"He wasn't ready to escape our search." Orochimaru sneered, "This guy must take the stolen pearls and go to the Kamakura shogunate." If he brings someone from the Kamakura shogunate to exterminate us, he may be able to mess with the shogunate. ”

Pearls were very popular in the Great Song Dynasty, and they were also precious treasures in the Wa Kingdom, and they were always worn by nobles. After Orochimaru finished telling his prediction, everyone's faces became even more ugly. After Lu Jiu was deprived of the leader of the thirteen groups, everyone thought that he would find a way to find someone to do the activity, but they didn't expect him to steal pearl oysters. Although the guards of the thirteenth group did not know that Lu Jiu had been deprived of his duties, they were also loyal to their duties. The deer are not allowed to scoop up the cage for a long time. As a result, he was killed by Lu Jiu.

By the time everyone found out, Lu Jiu had already cut open at least a hundred pearl oysters and took out the pearls inside. Then he ran away with the whole family. Hinata was adamantly opposed to Zhao Naruto killing Shikaku before, and at this time he was looking everywhere outside.

Hinata was affected by emotions, but Zhao Naruto had to find a way to solve the problem, and he said to everyone: "Everyone should be careful, I will go to meet His Highness Qin now and inform him of this matter." ”

Qin Mingxuan was only in charge of cultivating pearls here, and he was not authorized. After learning the news, I still have to report this matter to the boss. The unit in charge of these overseas businesses is a unit under the Maritime Safety Administration, and when they learn that something is wrong, they can't do anything about it. It could only be reported at the first level, and in the end, the matter was sent to Zhao Jiaren.

Zhao Jiaren didn't expect that such a big thing would have to be decided by himself. But if you think about it carefully, you can also find that the following people have made the right choice. Previously, Zhao Jiaren first passed it in the head office of the society, and later announced the new system in the imperial court. Foreign affairs and defence are agencies directly under the government.

This is not original, even in the era when the prime minister's power was complete, the military and diplomacy were also the power of the emperor. The prime minister has the right to speak during the discussion, but only the right to speak.

There was no shortage of smart people in the Great Song Dynasty, and if this matter would only trigger internal battles in the Wa Kingdom, then the military department would need to participate. If it triggers the Wa State to directly send someone to contact the Zhao official family, then the Ministry of Rites needs to come forward. Whatever the situation is, this matter is in the field that Zhao Jiaren directly handles.

At this time, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but sigh. He himself really didn't expect that once a thing as straightforward as colonialism was institutionalized, it would immediately become unrecognizable and fall into the trap of bureaucracy.

It is no wonder that the East India Company could not survive in the end, and needed to be replaced by a colonial government. Zhao Jiaren felt a little enlightened.

Come and think about it. Zhao Jiaren felt that he didn't want to spend energy on this matter, so he called the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials together and told them about it. Xiong Sheng and Wen Tianxiang didn't speak after hearing this, they felt that the Zhao Guanjia must have their own ideas.

The two of them guessed correctly, Zhao Jiaren said: "I'm afraid that there will be more of this kind of thing in the future, so I want to set up a department to manage this matter." The two of you, one in charge of diplomacy and the other in charge of personnel, try to come up with a charter. ”

A smart person like Wen Tianxiang understood Zhao Jiaren's mind as soon as he heard it, and this matter was probably a test. If the Zhao official family is not satisfied, the future will be very unfavorable to the two Shangshu.
