Chapter 271: Counting Classics and Forgetting Ancestors
The disappointment of Zhou Yonglin is not that he is soft-hearted or easily believes the words of the Matsuura family.
Zhao Hengyi's real disappointment lies in the fact that no matter how much Zhou Yonglin understands the Datong theory and how much hope he has for the theory of dividing fields, he is still a gentry class in his heart, or in essence, even if he himself is impoverished in the Zhou family.
To put it bluntly, the ass is not sitting in the right position.
The old retainer of the Matsuura family would not fail to understand what danger he would face if he left Hirado Castle with his young lord at this time, but that person still had to make such a request, and all he thought about was nothing more than two thoughts.
First, this old retainer seems to be loyal, but in fact he harbors evil intentions and leaves Hirado Castle with the young lord, but he wants to encroach on the last bit of wealth of the Matsuura family.
The second is that Ichiya Island has a cat, or once it leaves Hirado Port, this old retainer has a way to escape with the last blood of the Matsuura family, and someone is waiting outside to answer.
Zhou Yonglin won't fail to see this, he is just a little pedantic, not a fool.
But even so, Zhou Yonglin still concealed it, and even spoke with help, the reason why this happened was nothing more than that he was moved by the words of the old retainer, and as a scholar, he recognized some of the other party's loyal attributes......
I don't even understand the truth of his hero and my enemy, and Zhao Hengyi is really not optimistic about Zhou Yonglin's implementation of the theory of dividing fields in the Japanese Kingdom.
But now the arrow has to be sent, and there will be no suitable replacement for a while, so he can only let Zhou Yonglin toss in the Wa Kingdom, anyway, this rotten place, it doesn't matter if it is worse.
After Zhao Hengyi agreed to the remnants of the Matsuura family to leave Hirado Castle, the old retainer quickly organized the people who were willing to follow, sorted out some food and belongings, and left with the only remaining samurai with slaves and maids to protect the young master.
Under Zhou Yonglin's order, the Qiongzhou regimental training did not inspect the things taken away by these people, and the old retainer was so grateful that he even cried on the spot.
"The owner, this person from the Matsuura family, it seems that he is not honest."
Wang Erhu quietly bit his ears with Zhao Hengyi, "Do you want me to bring someone...... The sea is turbulent, and it is common to turn over a few boats, and the dolls of the Matsuura family may not be able to walk to Yiling Island alive. ”
Zhao Hengyi rolled his eyes: "Get out, you are not allowed to make your own opinions." ”
In my heart, I am relieved, there are still people around me who can do things, if they are all stupid guys who read and read like Zhou Yonglin, I would still honestly go home and sell Jiuhua Yulu!
The famous Matsuura family in Kyushu, which dominated Hirado Castle, disappeared in this way, and the merchants of Hirado Town watched the whole battle, and it was expected that the news of the murderous nature of the Great Tsubashi and his men would soon spread throughout the Wa Kingdom.
The peasants in the territory were very sorry for what happened to the Matsuura family, and even when the old retainer left with the young master, many people knelt down on the side of the road and wept bitterly.
This scene made Zhou Yonglin, a temporary talker, red-eyed.
After all, what this scholar believes in is still the same as that of kings and ministers, and he only thinks that the Matsuura family is so loved by the farmers on the land that they must love their name like a son on weekdays......
In fact, the Matsuura family is well-known throughout Kyushu, and they have a high impression among farmers.
In this way, it's not that the Matsuura family is really a good person, it's just that it's all up to their peers.
At this time, the land rent usually practiced by the daimyo was five gongs and five people, that is, the peasants of the Wa Kingdom planted the land, and according to the rules, half of the harvest was handed over to the daimyo.
At first glance, although the proportion is outrageous, the peasants seem to be still alive...... After all, this is a worse era, and the people of the Great Yan Kingdom are also struggling on the verge of freezing and starving to death.
But in fact, the world is as black as a crow, and after layers of deductions, the peasants of the Japanese country can have 30% of the harvest left after paying various taxes in Ghana, which is considered good.
The land rent set by the daimyo on Kyushu Island is even more harsh, and there is an outrageous ratio of directly shouting out the eight dukes and two people, and when the daimyo is short of money, he can even do all the things that he has to serve in the public for three or three years.
In other words, in the past three years, farmers have to bring their own dry food and farm for the daimyo for nothing......
This is not the end, the farmers have to pray that the daimyo does not take a fancy to his wife and daughter, otherwise he will be taken away, and most of them will not be able to come back...... Because in the eyes of the daimyo, such a thing as boiling live tea is an elegant behavior.
While listening to the beautiful woman wailing in the tea urn and being cooked, I slowly tasted the delicious tea...... Isn't that elegant enough?
In this case, how can the Matsuura family, who can really uphold the five princes and five people in Kyushu, not be able to buy a virtuous name?
As a result, a strange scene appeared, Kyushu's famous name for colluding with pirates has become the most beloved virtuous person!
In this regard, Zhao Hengyi scoffed!
It's not that the Matsuura family is not greedy enough, but they cooperate with pirates, and even privately participate in activities such as robbing and selling stolen goods, and they don't look down on the little food in the hands of the farmers at all!
To put it bluntly, these so-called farmers who are illuminated by the grace of the Matsuura family are just stained with the light of the ravages of the Japanese pirates!
Such a virtuous name, for the people of the Great Yan Kingdom, is there anything commendable?
But Zhou Yonglin, this sour ding, just eats this set, don't you say it's annoying?
The Jiazi battalion was left in Hirado Castle for Zhou Yonglin to be dispatched, while Zhao Hengyi returned directly to the General to meet with the representatives sent by each family.
Needless to say, except for Tang Ping, who was regarded as a translator and had been following Zhao Hengyi's side, the other shop managers and fleet managers all had accompanying Tang family members to communicate with each other, and how to act had already been decided before they came.
As for the persons in charge of the other families in the port of Hirado, Zhao Hengyi only saw the stewards of the four major maritime merchants, and the other small caravans were not qualified to be personally received by the Marquis of Qiongzhou.
On the other hand, the head of Hirado Town, the head of the management office, who resembled the later commercial district, a lame Angzo man, was qualified to meet with Zhao Hengyi on behalf of Wakuni and other small merchants in Hirado Town.
When this person arrived on the deck of the Great General, he bowed his head and bowed down, and spoke fluently in the official words of Dayan Guo: "The villain greets General Jinghai and asks the General to continue to exist in Hirado Town!" ”
"Yan Guoren?"
"Yes, the villain is from Guangzhou Prefecture, and in the early years, he ran a boat to the Wa Kingdom, married a wife and had children here, and settled down."
"Why don't you go back to your hometown?"
"My hometown has long been gone, and I'm just struggling to survive."
"I'm afraid I didn't carry a case in my hometown, right? Homicide? Skip the goods? Or, have you been a widow? ”
After a few words, the lame man was sweating like pulp, kneeling on the deck and shivering!
Zhao Hengyi snorted coldly: "You, have you read the book?"
Come, tell me, are you now a math dictionary and forget your ancestors? ”
