Zaoji woke up very early. Every day, she was the first one to get up in the yard. She had to freshen up and wake up her companions. Now she can earn money to support herself by teaching Mandarin to newcomers, not only Just to feed her, the money can also make her buy many things she couldn't even think of before.

She only bought a silver hairpin yesterday. Where did she dare to think about it before?When I was in my own country, the most valuable thing at home was a clay pot-it was used to cook rice, but the clay pot would be broken after a while, but iron was not available for purchase, it was used Things for the warriors to build weapons, civilians like them, don't even want to own an iron weapon in this life.

Not to mention gold and silver, which can only be owned by noble lords.

The girl from the same village in the early days became the lover of the nobles, and she didn't see what jewelry she could wear.

Early Ji cherished this silver hairpin very much.

She remembered that when her father and mother were still alive, at that time father's greatest wish was to buy a piece of cloth and make a new dress for her mother.

If they are still alive, it will be fine, and they are rich now, so they can ask the merchant master to bring their parents.

"Zao Ji." The girl in the same room with her also woke up. Her Mandarin speaking was not very good, but she was still fluent. They agreed that the two parties would only speak Mandarin in order to use them freely earlier.

Zao Ji also greeted her: "Jiehua."

Jiehua is a little younger than the early years. She was just thirteen years old this year. She said excitedly: "I am going to the businessman today. I have saved enough money and I want to take my parents over."

Zaoji was a little envious, Jiehua had parents, but she didn't, so she said: "Then you have to be careful, be polite to the businessman, and beg others."

Jiehua nodded desperately: "I know I know!"

The merchant agreed very readily. After all, he also wants to go to the Wonu country. It is easy to bring two people back. As long as they are not samurai, the nobles over there will not care, not to mention the small mosquitoes are meat. I have never felt that money burns my hands, and I never waste time.

Moreover, businessmen like them are doing business between the two countries. It is also convenient to have these women who can speak the Japanese dialect. If you ask them to do things in the future, and the two sides have a little friendship, it will be easier.

The businessman's surname is Zhang, and said to Jiehua: "If your parents are still alive, I will bring them back. If they are not found or die, I can do nothing."

Jiehua knelt down quickly, and before Zhang Shang came to help, he knocked his head: "Master! I know, I know."

Zhang Shang sighed and helped Jiehua up: "Okay, you just wait for my good news in the city."

Zhang Shang quickly left with his caravan. He also recruited a group of good players, all the original Japanese pirates. These Japanese pirates are now living outside the city, and some of them sneak into the city after they learn the Mandarin, and they can no longer live outside the city. He also went to the government office to establish a household registration, became a Mingren, and began to do some serious business.

But more Japanese pirates had no other skills, and were unwilling to lower their heads to be ordinary people, waiting for the caravan to recruit them outside the city.

These Japanese pirates had been in chaos several times before and killed a lot of people. Now they are a lot of honesty. They haven't happened in two years, and business people are gradually willing to use them.

After all, no one is more familiar with the situation in the Wonu country than they.

They are all samurai too, they know where to go to Nabai Mountain, which piece of land belongs to whom, and who has real power.

Zhang Shang recruited a team of Japanese pirates this time. The leader was a warrior named Ida. Strangely speaking, these warriors were obviously from the wonu country, but they were divided. There are four leaders in total. Not pleasing to the eye, but also did not tear his face.

A few years ago, I heard that there was a fight between them and many people died.

However, the Japanese pirates who fled here were basically absorbed by them.

The Japanese pirates never harassed the border town again.

The reason is simple.

They need daily necessities, food, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which are available in the city. If they harass the people in the city, they will not be able to buy anything once the city gate is closed.

Moreover, their money comes from businessmen, who can make a fortune by recruiting them to do business. If they don't recruit them, they won't make a penny.

Gradually, they got used to this way of life.

And many of them have lovers in the city, and they are basically women from the country of Japan.

With women and money, Japanese pirates became homes, moved to the city, lived with their own women, and raised their children.

Many of the Japanese pirates who are still outside the city want to do more, save some money, marry their own woman, and move to the city to live. No matter how bad the time is, there is no difference in time in their home country. As a samurai, they couldn't serve for the lord, but they were forced to leave their hometown, and they had no face to go back.

Itian's official saying is pretty good. After they are recruited, they are responsible for food, housing and transportation except for the clothes themselves. This is when they are most luxurious. They have wine and meat at all times, and they do not need to go to load and unload goods.

When they disembarked and walked to the dock of their homeland, the Japanese pirates were very calm.

They were very excited when they came back for the first time.

But after the excitement, what is left is a deep loss. Is the homeland in their memory like this?

There are dilapidated villages everywhere, men and women of all ages and young and unclothed, the corpses of starved children on the side of the road, and the screams of women.

Is this their country?

The samurai samurai pressed a woman by the wall, laughing while doing it, the woman begged him, but he was unmoved.

Ida didn't know what was going on at the time, he only remembered that an anger occupied his brain and made his body disobey the command of the brain. He drew his sword and killed the samurai.

The woman looked at him in horror, gathered up the tattered clothes, said an inaudible thank you, and fled.

For the samurai, the merchant who recruited him paid a large sum of money to the lord.

Ida only feels desolate in his heart and has nothing to rely on. He is a samurai. His parents and master told him that he should learn martial arts and be loyal to his master. If he can become a famous samurai, he might become the lord of the city one day. He deserves the benefits, land and beauty.

But they didn't tell him what he should do when a country is riddled with holes.

In contrast, Daming is like a kingdom in heaven.

He lives outside the city, but he can see people coming and going in the city every day. Some of them walk on their legs, some ride on horse-drawn carriages, some ride on bullock carts. Daming women have the most smile on their faces. Women are always in panic all day long.

Da Ming's craftsmen are very respected, their country... how many craftsmen are there now?

Merchants come and go, they will carry a lot of goods into the city, and they will also pull the goods from the city and sell them elsewhere.

People are well-fed, don’t worry about when they will fight, and don’t worry about samurai or soldiers breaking into their homes and taking away their wives and daughters.

Jingtian still remembered that the businessman who took them there was sitting on horseback, looking at the desolate scene, and exclaiming: "This is hell?"

Hell on earth, is that what it looks like?

The merchant bought a lot of women from the lord. They were all refugees. They had no homes and their relatives were also refugees. They fled from other places, but the lord didn’t need these women. At most, they were in the skin and flesh business and had no other money. The method made no contribution to the territory.

Ida watched them get on the boat and escorted them back to the city. He watched them getting better day by day, and one of them became his woman.

Since then, he has often brought people back and forth between his homeland and Daming.

It's just that the samurai and lords of the old country thought he was a Da Ming.

Daming people think he is a widow.

When his Mandarin became more and more fluent, even the Daming people thought he was their compatriot.

On the one hand, Ida felt amused, but at the same time he felt sad.

He grew up in his native country, but did he become Mingren in the end?

Even his women said that being a Ming person is better than being a native countryman, and he rebuked her for forgetting her ancestors.

The woman said, "If we are still in the country and I follow you, can you make me full? Your brothers want to go to me, do you dare to break with them? The lord will look at you high and recommend you to the daimyo Is it? In China, you can only kneel! Live on your knees!"

Ida wanted to refute her, but couldn't find any reason to refute her.

There is chaos in the country, and wars take place every day. The reason why he can say these things is because he is not in the country. He lives a good life in Daming. He has his own house. His women occasionally come to see him. Will spend a frantic and sweet night.

When he earns money, he will buy her rouge and jewelry, as well as cloth.

Jingtian has no relatives, and his friends earn about the same money as him, so his money is spent on his own women.

His woman is a very aggressive woman. She is smart and beautiful. She always uses mud to cover her face in China. If she is not afraid of pain, she might even cut her face. When she comes to Daming, she finds that men can’t be casual. After touching her, she was finally able to face others with a clean face.

In fact, Jing Tian couldn't tell why he became a lover with her.

She will spend his money indiscriminately, but she will also remind him to hide the money and rent a piece of land in the future to build a small shop. Then they can start a small business together. She can cook rice balls and pickles, even if they can’t make money. How long will they not starve to death.

Jingtian remembered his departure this time, and his woman said to him the night before he left: "Don't do it after you finish this time. If you have enough money, we will rent a plot of land and open a shop. I will give you some more children. "

Ida pursed his mouth, his face showed a shy smile that he didn't belong to his age.

He has been wandering for a long time, and also wants to put his feet on the ground, form a family with his women, have a group of children, and live a good life.

Jing Tian looked at the scorched earth burned by the fire and sighed softly. He still loves this land, but this land cannot accommodate him.
