Chapter 224. Wealthy neighbors
Mao Jue's level is high enough, the former Denglai Road plus four lifters, seven or eight rich and noble ladies came to plant tobacco leaves for him, next to Yuan Chonghuan's small yard, the Sun family is too much, and Sun Yuanhua was divided into two yards, more than 20 acres of land, in Sun Hedou four scholars with ugly faces carrying hoes, Mao Jue is swaggering away.
In fact, Sun Yuanhua's family is not important, now the level of firearms in Dongjiang is much higher than that of Sun Yuanhua's Dengzhou, he is a former governor, Mao Jue can't count on him to work for him, saving him is just to see that he died too unjustly in history, to satisfy his collecting habits.
Even the famous Yuan Chonghuan is not important, what is really important is the widow and widow of the widow who moved over and lived with Yuan Chonghuan, so Sun Yuanhua was settled, and Mao Jue came back again.
However, General Mao, who was popular everywhere in Tieyi, actually became a dog in Yuan Chonghuan's house.
"Hey, move your feet!"
In the courtyard, Yuan Chonghuan, who hoped to be bigger and more disappointed, sat down in front of the stone table sourly, and actually drank a little wine, and Chiyoji, a dead girl, took a big broom and turned to Mao Jue's feet to sweep, that look was definitely not sweeping the floor, it was to sweep him out, but fortunately tossed Mao Jue two steps, and a reproach in the house made the girl retreat to the side angrily, and did not let the dignified Mao Daren suffer the "humiliation of the girl" and was swept out.
"I've seen General Xiao Mao!"
Still holding a large box of tobacco leaves and cigarette paper in her hand, as well as a few cigarette boxes that have been loaded, the old lady of this martial arts master seems to be much more friendly today, and she is very respectful there.
"General Xiaomao rarely comes to the cold house, the old man has prepared some tea, please come into the house for a while, I don't know if it's okay?"
"Don't dare but ......"
I really want to figure out what the identity of this family is, although Mao Jue is not in the Dongjiang River this year, but Adriana is not idle, those Japanese books were translated under her order, all of them are some military records, and the things recorded are really amazing, there are military quartermasters, there are regulations, there are punishments, there are disposals and promotions, but they don't match any of the big names known today, and the scale of the records is too big.
Mao Jue already faintly felt that Li Yuanyi threw himself this vote, maybe he could pry an extremely important chess piece in the country.
can come up with something, Mao Jue naturally couldn't ask for it, and then came in.
Or on the clay kang, now it has been laid into the shape of tatami mats, a small wooden square table is burning a small stove unique to boiling tea, indeed, a strong tea fragrance comes to the face, and this taste is still familiar to Mao Jue.
The smell of matcha cake in later generations.
Typical Japanese-style matcha, don't look at the old lady's fragrance, but the action is skillful and elegant, elegant tea, elegant pouring pot, elegant for Mao Jue, just looking at the pale green tea soup, Mao Jue suppressed his appetite and didn't slam a bite at all, just stuck to the corner of his mouth, and then put it back on the table.
The heart of defense is indispensable! In these years, Dr. Qing's family would not eat any foreign food outside, and before the emperor ate, he had to let the little eunuchs try it more than a dozen times.
Afraid of poison!
After all, the origin of this family is unknown, and Mao Jue has to be careful.
didn't care, the old lady who was a martial arts master didn't look at the cup of tea at all, but looked at Mao Jue's face with a bright look.
"I heard that the general thundered and swept the cave, broke Nagasaki in one fell swoop, and gained a lot, the old man is here to congratulate the general!"
These words made the corners of Mao Jue's mouth twitch slightly, he was a robber, he went to beat your country, robbed the silver, and became a slave, this old lady was not angry, but came to congratulate herself, how did she feel awkward.
"It's just a wolf, attacking the coastal areas of the Li Dynasty, and the general is helpless!"
When he became a robber, he also wanted to set up an archway, Mao Jue was an understatement and slapped his face as much as possible, and the old lady was also really interesting, nodding with a smile.
"What the general said is extremely true, some clowns who jump off the beam, the Japanese henchmen, the general annihilates them to eliminate harm for the people! The old man also knows a hiding place for the widows, and he will give it to the general!"
As she spoke, a hand-drawn map was handed over by the old lady with both hands, and when she opened it for the first time, Mao Jue's eyes couldn't help but flicker twice.
Although it is a fake character of Wakoping, he still carries the shadow of Chinese characters, and the words of Sado Gold Mine, he is clear to his eyes.
Sado Island is about the northern part of Honshu Island, although it is a little farther away, but it is also within the strike range of the Dongjiang Army's naval division, and the map also indicates the defensive position, terrain, defenders, and gold hiding place, according to this scale, it is definitely a big source of wealth for the shogunate, and it is full of profits.
This old lady really gave herself a big beehive full of honey, looking at her meaningful appearance, she couldn't help it, Mao Jue simply made her words clear.
"Your Excellency, Mao admits that it is true that he is not bright enough to do things, but current affairs are like this, no wonder Mao!"
"Last time, Mao captured the Nabeshima family's clan relatives Naoshima, the Nabeshima family offered 50,000 gold, Dongjiang was willing to let him go back, Your Excellency's gift is more than 50,000 gold, if you are willing to go back to the Wakoshima country, you can report to your home, Mao will be returned by a special ship, and it will not be difficult!"
He wanted to show the details of this family, but unfortunately, this old lady didn't take the bait at all, but smiled meaningfully.
"General Xiao Mao thinks this gift is eye-catching?"
"Of course!"
"The old body wants to use this as a dowry, how about asking General Xiaomao to marry Chiyohime?"
Mao Jue almost didn't squirt out, this year is he going to peach blossom luck or peach blossom robbery, and he wants to hang him as a son-in-law? There are two more girls in the family, which has made him very uncomfortable, and he will marry a Chiyohime again? Subconsciously skimming her head, this little girl swept the grape trellis, and secretly promised Qiubo, all her attention was on Yuan Chonghuan, if this girl married home, not to mention the problem of the old Yuan next door, either she had to give him a daily burial like Daiyu, or she would fight every day, looking at Yu Le'er and the two of him, he was already troublesome enough, subconsciously, Mao Jue quickly shook his head.
"Chiyohime has a noble status, comes from a famous family, and is just a small Ming border general, how dare she climb high?"
Obviously showing a disappointed look at Mao Jue's perfunctory, this martial arts master old lady is also the master who doesn't see rabbits and eagles, so she shook her head very simply.
"Please think again, General! The old body can only reveal one sentence now, marrying Chiyohime, the general will definitely not regret it!"
…………
Today's cliché failed again, Mao Jue couldn't help but be a little stupid, and specially solved it in the famous scenic spot of later generations, "Yuan Chonghuan's Gong Place", and then hummed depressedly and returned to White Horse Mountain City.
It's just that he was restless when he went back, and a lot of things were turned out by Mao Jue in a mess, and they were placed together with the map of the Sado Gold Mine that the old lady got in her hand today.
I have to say that Li Yuanyi really gave him Mao Jue a big gift, not to mention the unidentified orphans and widows, just the text copied from the basement of her house is worth a thousand gold, not to mention that now as the main design drawings of the Dongjiang battleship, just the map is precious, the entire Wa Kingdom of more than 80 countries, most of the mountains and rivers geography, natural resources, population, urban roads, are recorded in these Wa classics, looking at this classic, Mao Jue is like seeing a rampant, killing the blood of the Quartet of the Wa General, In his eyes, the country is no longer a stranger.
However, what made him excited today was not the gold of Sado Island, but the large and small squares of Lingguo on the map, or the numbers written on it.
For example, the Kaga Kanazawa Domain of the Maeda Domain, 100,000 stone of stone high, the Shimazu family of the Kagoshima Domain of the Satsuma Domain with 770,000 stone, and the Date family of the Ishiro Osendai Domain of the Northern Domain 620,000 stone.
But the most tempting thing is Owari, the core area of the Tokugawa family of Kii's generation, the territory of those pro-feudal daimyos, genealogy daimyo is actually quite small, but Ishitaka is not much lower than those big feudal clans.
The Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty are almost the same, they are both traditional agricultural countries, and the most direct embodiment of the strength of the territory is Shigao, how much grain can be produced in a territory.
And the stone of the Wa Kingdom and the stone of China are not the same, the Ming stone is about 94 kilograms, one hundred and eighty catties, and one stone of the Wa State is three hundred and forty catties, the territory of the Wa State is only one twenty-fifth of China in later generations, even if the Ming Dynasty is now, it is only a dozen of them, but the official number of the population of the Ming Dynasty is 60 million, and the official number of the population of the Wa State is 120,000, not counting the hidden population, the population is only about five times, which shows that the grain production of the Wa State is a lot.
What is most lacking in Dongjiang now? Grain! Don't look at Mao Jue's recent open-source throttling and tossing, the gap is still not small, today he came back from Xiacheng Shouguan Village with a map, Mao Jue remembered coldly, there is such a rich neighbor by his side!
"What for? Let Su Yi ask you to go to dinner, and you won't go, you forget to sleep and eat, stinky boy, do you really think of yourself as a character? ”
This is a little sour, but it is no wonder that Mao Wenlong is a hero, but now he wants to pass on the Dongjiang River that he worked so hard to build, although it is voluntary, but there is also a sense of loss brought about by the fall of power, and it is no wonder that this old guy finds a reason to hammer Mao Jue every once in a while.
If it were on weekdays, the old man would personally kill the door, and Mao Jue would definitely be sweating on his back again, but today, when he closed the map, Mao Jue actually had a meaningful smile on his face.
"Dad, when you first came out of the town of Dongjiang, there was not enough food to eat in the military town, what should you do?"
"Grab it!"
Stunned by Mao Jue's attitude, recalling the past Rong Ma Dong, Mao Wenlong was suddenly full of pride and said high-spiritedly.
"Don't say this out of the Zhendong River, when will your father and I be full of grain and grass, when Guangning was defeated, your father and my whole army was scattered and there were only about 200 brothers left, trapped on the seaside, three days in a row without a hungry stomach, one by one hungry and hungry like a ghost, your father and I gritted our teeth, and I couldn't be a hungry ghost when I died, and I went to Zhenjiang City with my brothers, and I deserved those Jiannu to be unlucky, the fight was too smooth, I didn't even look at the door, that night your father and I touched into the city, and cut them twenty or thirty with a knife in hand, and then it was to eat!"
"The taste of rice, tsk......"
With his mouth open, it seems that he is still reminiscing about the sweetness of the beginning, but looking at Mao Wenlong's endless aftertaste, Mao Jue hurriedly gestured with a smile.
"Okay Dad, the child has been taught!"
