Looking at the 18th-century Japanese slave Edo, Jia Lian felt quite emotional.

In his previous life, Jia Lian, who loved to travel, would make Edo one of the destinations he traveled abroad every year.

There is no other reason, it is that Jia Lian is more afraid of the cold, so he likes Edo heat.

Well, by the way, it seems that Edo had changed its name to Tokyo at that time.

Although it was wartime, because of the cover of the East China Sea Fleet, Jia Lian and Shen Yi easily led more than a dozen top masters of the Jinyi Mansion to smuggle into Edo.

"Where's our guy?" Jia Lian asked Xiu Yuan beside him.

That's right, as the first Honglu official of Long Zhengchao to have sent an envoy to a foreign country, Xiuyuan also came this time.

"This way." Although it was impossible for Shen Yi not to know the location of the Thousand Households of the Japanese Slaves, since Jia Lian opened his mouth, Xiu Yuan began to lead the way.

Jia Lian observed the situation in Edo while walking, and he saw what it means to have no natural disasters and the people have food.

Presumably, in order to support the Korean War, the Tokugawa shogunate imposed a large-scale levy of conscription from the Japanese slaves and increased taxes.

Speaking of which, because of the policy of the Japanese slaves, until the Second World War, even if the Japanese slaves were already the top powers in the world, the lives of ordinary Japanese slaves were very difficult.

It was the outbreak of the third scientific and technological revolution after World War II that completely allowed the Japanese slaves to achieve a great development of productive forces, so that the lives of ordinary Japanese people were no longer so difficult.

"This place is too poor." Jia Lian was observing the situation in Edo with great interest. An attendant who came with him muttered softly.

The other immediately said: "That is, I heard that this is still the capital of the Japanese slaves, and it looks like it can't catch up with our capital city." ”

"Okay, let's go, don't say a word." Jia Lian also wanted to interject, but when he noticed that the pedestrians on the street had already noticed them, his heart moved, and he hurriedly ordered.

Not long after, Chen Jun, who had been waiting for a long time, brought someone over to take Jia Lian and others to the Thousand Households.

"My lord, why didn't you let everyone talk just now?" Xiuyuan saw that Shen Yi had gone to arrange accommodation, so he secretly ran to Jia Lian's side and asked.

Jia Lian looked at Xiuyuan appreciatively: "Obviously, the news of my Da Zheng's entry into the war has spread, and the Japanese Shogunate will definitely use this as a reason to pay for their defeat in Korea." ”

"Your Excellency is absolutely right." Before he finished speaking, Shen Yi came back. Obviously, he heard Jia Lian's words, and before he came to him, he echoed loudly.

"What's the news?" Jia Lian simply didn't continue, and asked Shen Yi instead.

"Just now Chen Jun said that during this time, the new Japanese shogunate was rampant in the country, and even planned to export beauties to accumulate war funds for the country."

"Export beauty?" Xiuyuan said that he was a little confused, and he didn't know what this export beauty meant.

"It was the government that came forward to organize young women from the Japanese slave countries to go abroad to engage in the leather and meat business in the southern vassal states and even in the Xiyi.

However, because it almost provoked a civil uprising, it was not possible to make the trip for the time being. ”

Jia Lian smiled faintly, he really didn't expect that the Japanese slaves had such a long history of earning foreign exchange by relying on women's bellies.

However, it is clear that the current shogunate is far less brainwashing than the future emperor in this regard.

Later, during World War II, the daughters of the Japanese nobles were proud to be able to use their bodies as emperors and contribute to the "holy war".

"What is the situation in the country of the Japanese slaves now?"

Shen Yi had obviously asked Chen Jun: "Very poor, in order to maintain the war and the luxurious life of the nobles, the Japanese slave shogunate was almost the last copper plate in the pockets of the emptied commoners.

In recent days, people have been starving to death every day in Edo Castle. ”

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." Xiu Yuan listened a little unbearable on the side.

"Very good, this is the best opportunity for the Snapdragon program." Jia Lian beckoned to a few people and began to arrange the work in detail.

Today's Japanese slaves have no surnames for anyone other than the nobility. And the Japanese slaves take their names casually, the eldest son is called Ichiro, the second son is called Jiro, and the third son is called Sanlang.

So when two people meet on the street, the greeting is often like this.

"Jiro, are you going to buy rice? What is the price of rice today? ”

"Yes, Jiro, don't mention it, the price of rice has risen again today."

It's like this.

Chen Jun also gave himself a Japanese slave name in the country of Japanese slaves, called Junlang. After studying for two days, Chen Jun went out with several people from the Thousand Households today.

"Fifteen Lang, come out to buy rice today?" Chen Jun saw the neighbor's fifteen lang come back with a small bag of rice, his eyes lit up, and he came up.

The neighbors' families are all famous big mouths, and although they are not nobles, because there are many people in the family, and they are all relatively treacherous, life is not bad.

"Yes, Junlang, the price of rice has risen again, and it took ten silver coins to buy such a small bag of rice." Fifteen Lang hung his head and said, "Obviously, such a bag of rice only needed six silver coins yesterday. The price of rice is rising too fast, so go buy some too. ”

Chen Jun's eyes widened, and he sighed and said, "I'm different from you, you have money in your family." I took a few brothers to earn a living in Edo, and I couldn't afford to buy rice, so I went buy some rice bran. ”

While praising Shishilang with a look of envy, he said: "Those hateful black-hearted grain merchants, in order to earn this kind of black-hearted money with a bad conscience, do not care about the life and death of our ordinary people. Obviously, there is still so much grain in the warehouse, but he refuses to sell it in large quantities. ”

Fifteen Lang was already unhappy, but when he heard Chen Jun's words, he became even more anxious: "Junlang, who are you listening to." Didn't it say that His Excellency the General sent all the food to the front line to support the jihad, which led to a decrease in domestic food? ”

Chen Jun looked at the fool in front of him with some sympathy: "Fifteen Lang, why are you so stupid, of course they will say that."

But you don't know, my second uncle's third uncle's fourth uncle's child works in the General's Mansion, and he told me......"

"Really?" Fifteen Lang was taken aback and asked with his mouth wide open.

"That's for sure, the front line doesn't need so much grain, and I don't dare to say elsewhere that the grain depots of the big grain merchants in the east of Edo Castle are all grain."

Fifteen Lang snorted hard: "They're all goddamn bastards, they really want to eat white rice." ”

"The aristocratic lords don't care about our life or death, if you want to eat fragrant white rice, you can only find your own way."

Fifteen Lang's eyes lit up: "What way?" ”

Chen Jun smiled and whispered in the ear of Fifteen Lang.

A similar scene took place in the streets of Edo Castle. By the time the Japanese shogunate learned about the situation, the matter had become more and more evil.

In the middle of the night, in the palace of the Japanese general, the Japanese general was still drunk and dreaming of death, and groups of Japanese people began to gather from all directions.

"We want to eat, we want to survive." These hungry civilians were thrilled to know that there was food just around the corner.
