Nanjing, autumn is coming.

Wearing a light brown kimono and a large red oil-paper umbrella, Kenroku Abe arrived in front of his studio in Tiger Bridge Lane and unlocked it.

The road was all stone, no mud and no flooding, so it didn't hurt him to wear a somewhat cumbersome kimono, and his shoes weren't dirty.

This mansion is not more than 100 square meters, but it is complete, the appearance is his favorite "blue brick small tile horse head wall, cloister hanging lattice window", there is a small patio inside, there are three trees, you can sit under the tree under the stone round table to taste tea, very comfortable.

Laohuqiao Lane is located near the Xiang River, the mountains and rivers in the Xiang River valley are beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, it is the waterway artery in the city of Nanjing, connecting the Qinhuai River of the Jiming Temple and the outer city, the people outside the city want to enter the city to burn incense, can not do without the river network that extends in all directions.

The roads near the river are Lotus Bridge, Tiger Bridge, Big Stone Bridge, etc., and there are Daiwa, Powder Wall, and Matou Wall on both sides, which are already very lively, and over the years, with the increase in the population of Nanjing, the housing prices here have soared.

Lucky Kenroku Abe bought this house early, otherwise at today's price, even if he has the support of his father Abe Tadaaki in the "old middle" of the Japanese country, and the family's huge financial resources, he can't take it, it's too expensive!

Kenroku Abe entered the door, passed through the middle hall, and arrived at the study, which was full of four treasures, and the shelves were full of Chinese character books, and the height of the bookshelves reached the beam.

Push open the open window, let the fresh air outside, and then use a duster to clean the dust, he hasn't been back for more than half a year, but the house is safe and sound, no one enters, and the security is quite good!

When he went to the well in the patio to fetch water and went back to the study, he boiled water in a small peat stove, the water boiled, and he used the tea set in Jingdezhen, he made tea and drank it, and opened the Chinese book to read.

All this is done very naturally, if it were not for his figure, he would almost be a Ming man and a Chinese.

As for him wearing a kimono, no, this is Hanfu, and we Dongying people have JJ's clothes from your Han Dynasty!

That's right, this Wei Ren is an out-and-out Ming fan, an old friend of the Chinese people!

In the 17th century, China was the lighthouse country of the world, and the magnet firmly attracted countless fans, and Yamazaki Shinroku was just one of them.

In 1644, the Jiashen Rebellion, the former Ming Dynasty was overturned, and the leaders of the southeast country entered Nanjing by battleship and seized the Ming regime.

The next year, Kenroku Abe came.

The leader was not in the position for a long time, and the people in Nanjing were panicked, and the Japanese people had a unique vision, so they used all their money and even borrowed money to buy this mansion, which has now become his proud move.

He stayed in China and did not return to China, he was bold and hospitable, and this mansion became a meeting point for the Japanese people in Nanjing.

The deadbolt rattled and someone banged on the door.

Kenroku Abe went out to open the door, and there were two Japanese people standing outside the door, one named Hideo Yamazaki and the other called Kiyuro Ishihara, both of whom were regular customers.

The three Japanese people bowed and greeted each other.

"Yamazaki-kun, Ishihara-kun!"

"Abe-kun!"

"Please!

"Please! Please! ”

There were many courtesies, everyone bowed and bowed, and finally went into the study and sat down, and immediately narrowed the small study.

"The two of you came so fast, as soon as I returned to Nanjing, you guys came!" Kenroku Abe smiled.

He thanked: "When I am not in Nanjing, thank you for taking care of me here!" ”

"Ahem, it's a trifle!" Hideo Yamazaki urged: "Abe-kun, you have been to the southeast country for more than half a year, tell me about your experience!" ”

"Good!" It turned out that Kenroku Abe went to the southeast of China on the sea, and he talked about his experience.

After a moment of steadiness, he said: "What impressed me the most was the fighting spirit of the people there, there is no country in the world that surpasses the Chinese in terms of diligence, I came, I saw a big mountain, before leaving, a big mountain turned into a plantation!" ”

He made a gesture to show the size of the mountain, and to explain that there were only a thousand Chinese cultivators, which made the eyes of the two Japanese widen when they heard it!

At the end of last year, he rode the north wind down to Southeast Asia and traveled to the major islands of Southeast Asia.

In the province of Kanayam, namely Kalimantan and Borneo, it is worthy of being the province of Kaneyama, in addition to the developed gold extractive industry, it is simply a paradise for plantation!

The island is self-sufficient in rice, so there is no need to import rice, and then there are corn, sweet potatoes, cassava, in addition to being used as human food, corn can be fed to livestock to gain weight, as for sweet potatoes are fed to pigs, tapioca starch is widely used, and it is very common to make cakes to eat.

Kenroku Abe is in Kanzan Province, and he especially likes to eat tapioca fried shrimp cakes, eat them as rice, eat one after another, dipped in some burnt salt, and it tastes great!

The price is very cheap, tapioca flour is not worth much, at the seaside, shrimp is not worth much, and even more, the Chinese open shrimp ponds to raise shrimp, shrimp is not worth much, it is not worth much.

However, Kenroku Abe prefers meat, admitting, "During my time in Southeast Asia, I ate more meat than I did before I came!" ”

He said it very truthfully, and he heard that Hideo Yamazaki and Kiyuro Ishihara were very envious, after they came to China, they ate more meat than they ate in the Wa country, but Abe Kenroku was even better, and the meat he ate in Southeast Asia was more than the meat he had eaten before, not to mention how big!

In the Wa country, meat is scarce, the people rarely eat meat, meat refers to non-seafood meat, even if the upper class can eat seafood, the lower class can eat stinky salted fish, but meat is meat, very few Japanese people can eat.

"They're developing ...... The leader is called the productive ......" Kenroku Abe mentioned that "leader" does not say whose leader it is, only the leader, and the two Japanese do not correct his mistakes.

"They exploited the land, patches of forests were cut down, and trees were cut down and trees and ......trees were cut down and cut down trees and trees throughout Southeast Asia," Abe recalled.

Then it becomes a huge plantation: palm trees, pepper, tobacco, coffee, cocoa, hemp, sago and so on.

There are many mosquitoes and poisonous creatures in Southeast Asia, but the Chinese have developed all the big islands, and no matter how poisonous the Chinese are, those creatures have no living environment and are completely finished.

Grass was planted on the island to raise a large number of livestock, which could be sold from head to toe without any waste, and the manure was looted: top dressing crops, or making gunpowder.

The southeastern country has frequent foreign wars, and there is as much gunpowder as there is.

It seems that there is a magical power that no matter how much you plant or how much you raise, you can sell it, even if it is low, you will not lose money.

Mountains were flattened, houses were built, and cities were allocated land, which completely shocked Kenroku Abe, a Japanese man!

……

"No, the essence of China on the sea, I have seen it even more...... Hardworking, law-abiding, united and forging ahead...... Different from China on land, China on land is also moving closer to the spirit of China on the sea, the two China are full of great vitality, transformed into huge national strength and wealth, and the China of strengthening the country and enriching the people is the most powerful Chinese empire in history so far, better than the Tang Dynasty! I want to write to the general and ask for a re-dispatch of the Tang envoy! Kenroku Abe stood up and said passionately.
