Chapter 597: The Great Song Dynasty is really the Heavenly Empire

Hua Manshan laughed when he heard this, looked at the thoughtful Abiliu, and said slowly: "Of course Ayou is very good, if a woman like her is in the Great Song Dynasty, but a businessman like her can't climb it...... The daughter of the scholar is still so fresh, don't say that it is so-and-so, even if it is the lord of the martial arts province, it is impossible to accept her as a concubine. But it's a pity that Ayu is not taken seriously like this......"

His words made Abiliu's face a little depressed, it was so hurtful, the girls who didn't marry let the girl surnamed Hua sleep and sleep, and the surname Hua actually said such a thing - if the samurai lord of the Edo period heard such words, it is estimated that he would have to draw a sword and cut people!

However, Abiliu's face was just ugly, and he didn't mean to cut people at all.

Although the words of the flowers are ugly, the generosity of the silk is given!

And Abidliu's family is too poor, and there are only a few acres of land on Tsushima Island? Although it is close to the Goryeo Kingdom and the Hakata trading port, there is no one in Dazaifu, where Abidyu manages Japan's foreign trade. Therefore, Abidyu's family did not eat much oil and water from Hakata, so they could only live a hard life in the village on Tsushima Island, and at most sell some worthless seafood in Hakata Port.

Hua Manshan shook his head, shook his head again, and whispered to himself: "...... What a wonderful place to Tsushima, so close to Goryeo, and on the sea route where the Great Song ships traveled east...... If the port can be opened and a commercial market can be opened, it is possible to earn 100,000 yuan a year. ”

Listening to his own words, Abidyu's face moved, and after a moment of silence, he set his eyes on the distant continent, but the words in his mouth were cold: "We also know the wealth of the merchants of the Song Kingdom, and we also know that we can make money by doing business." However, our Abidliu family is a famous samurai, and we have guarded the Tsushima gate for the imperial court for generations...... The three prohibitions are the laws of the imperial court, and we can only obey them! ”

Hua Manshan shook his head and smiled, not caring about Abidliu's high-sounding words. After getting along for so many days, he already knew what Abidliu's house was. What samurai, what famous lord, is to put gold on their faces.

Their family was nothing more than a tyrant on Tsushima Island, who sent their land to the ministers of Heiankyo in order to obtain shelter, and they themselves worked as manor stewards for generations. That pitiful land rent was also given to the ministers above, and there were really few in their own hands. When the girls in the family reach a certain age, they have to be sent to serve the ministers of Dazaifu, and it is an honorable thing to have a big belly.

Ah Yu had served a Dazaifu junior before, and dreamed of being someone's side room, but unfortunately they didn't want her when they were recalled to Heiankyo. And she couldn't forget her family, and she didn't want to marry a poor samurai, so she used the excuse of waiting for the minister to change her mind, live in Hakata by herself, and catch up with a few rich Song merchants...... In fact, she is a prostitute who sells meat!

Speaking of which, these so-called warriors are too far behind the military attaches of the Great Song Dynasty. It is one thing for military attachΓ©s in the Song Dynasty to be discriminated against by civilian officials, but the money they should take is not a penny!

The military attache of the Great Song Dynasty is a man who loves money with confidence!

Thinking of this, Hua Manshan said softly: "You are not the young master of the Abidiliu family, what do you care?" ”

Abidiliu's father, Abidliu, had many sons, and although he was the eldest son, he was born to a farmer's daughter, so he was not eligible to inherit the position of family governor. Moreover, the Abidiliu family has been passed down in Tsushima for an unknown number of generations, derived many branches, and at the same time divided and divided the limited family property. Now there is very little land left in the hands of the Abidlius family (the ownership of the land is not yet theirs), there are few villages left, and it is impossible to give another share to a concubine who has no power from his mother's family.

So by the time Abidyu's father died, Abidime was no longer even a samurai...... In fact, such a situation is natural under the manor system. Samurai and knights who own or manage manors always give birth to more sons! If there is no corresponding increase in land and wealth, there will be an embarrassing situation of insufficient distribution of family property in the later stage of development. There will be a large number of impoverished samurai, and they will be the source of war.

Wu Haogu is now also taking a fancy to this power of Japan!

Hua Manshan looked at Abiliu Qinyi, and his eyes were sincere: "Qinyi, our Great Song Dynasty pays attention to the Lu of eating the monarch and the matter of loyalty to the monarch...... Whoever can give you land and money will be your king! Think about it, if you are willing to serve the lord of my family, with your ability, hundreds of yuan are at your fingertips. ”

Abiliu's eyes were silent, looking at the mainland, but showing a little eagerness.

The head of the Abidiliu family sent him to smuggle him out of the country, probably with the intention of letting him break through overseas, right?

……

On September 25, the second year of the Great Song Dynasty, in Haizhou Bay, just east of Tianya Port in Qishan County.

On the sea, a 2,000-material galleon, rolled up snow-white waves, and slowly sailed into the port. The water here is not as narrow and rugged as Hakata Port, and the waterways are wide. But at the same time, there are countless boats moored on the water, large and small, of all kinds. There are Song-style ships with square heads and hard sails, ships with slender bodies and soft spinnakers, and small and medium-sized merchant ships from Japan that use oars and sails, and there are long queues outside the docks in Tianya Town and Haizhou Yuchang.

On the wharf, there are cargo stacks everywhere, the stacks of Haizhou Yuchang Wharf look dilapidated and low, and the wharves of Tianya Town are all tall brick and wood buildings. Wearing a short shirt, the strong and sturdy dock force is shuttling back and forth carrying large and small bags of goods.

If you look further, you will find that behind the wharf in Tianya Town, there are brand new tall houses densely arranged, and there are more scaffolding construction sites. At first glance, it looks like a new city that is taking off. If there were a little more tall and unfriendly chimneys that constantly spewed black smoke, it would have a little bit of an industrial revolution......

Of course, the industrial revolution was still early, and the accumulation of technology and capital was far from enough. However, with the advent of the "Positivistic Theory" and the opening of the Yuntai School and the Yuntai School of Shipbuilding, as well as the emergence of a highly autonomous commercial city, the door to the industrial revolution has actually been opened!

However, there is no need for the prosperity of the industrial revolution, but the prosperity of this great state, which is still on the eve of capitalism, has already shocked the Japanese guests from afar. Abidius and his sister, who looked immodest, stood in the bow of the ship, staring blankly at everything in front of them.

This is the harbor of the Great Song Dynasty? Doesn't it mean that since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the country has weakened? Aren't there many Song people who came to Japan to pay tribute because of "deep morality", "wanting to repay the court's kindness", and "Muhuanghua and feeling the grace of the saints"?

(Japan, which was closed off from the rest of the world, thought that it was the superior country of the Celestial Empire, so it was also very much of a set, and many Song merchants took advantage of loopholes to circumvent Japan's "age" system in the name of tribute)

But the prosperity and scale of the port and the city before their eyes far exceeded the imagination of the Abidius siblings.

Don't say that there are many Boduo, even Heianjing, I'm afraid it's not as big and rich as Haizhou in front of you, right?

This is the weather of the Heavenly Empire!

"Dear, Haizhou is just a medium-sized state capital in my Great Song Dynasty! The prosperity of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo is ten times greater than that of Haizhou! ”

The sound of the mountain of flowers rang in the ears of the two siblings.

"Ayou, I have a manor near Haizhou City, which is more magnificent than Tianman Palace, if you make it my side room, I will give it to you."

"Really?" The girl let out a sound of surprise.

"Really!" Hua Manshan said with a smile, "I have several such manors, and compared with the mansions in Tianya Town, Haizhou, the manors in the countryside are not worth much to me at all. ”

"Okay, I'll follow you! Please look after me in the future! Ah You has fallen, there is no suspense, and she immediately forgot about the minister who made her miss for a long time.

Compared with Hua Daguan, that minister is a poor bastard!

"Kiss, what about you?" Hua Manshan asked again, "Or I will recommend you to the Lord, you will be the Lord's retainer, what I have now, and you will have it in the future!" ”

"Really, really......"

……

"Kill! Kill ......"

Hundreds of "Great Song Dynasty warriors" wearing iron armor and holding round shields and long swords are practicing charging in the Yuntai School Palace School - it turns out that sword and shield soldiers can also rush into battle!

Wu Haogu, who was watching with Tong Guan and Su Shi who had just arrived, was actually the first time to know that the sword and shield soldiers also had such momentum when they charged.

A phalanx of hundreds of people, shield after shield, and the swords in the hands of the first row of warriors were stretched out forward, like spears. Then run forward at about the same pace at the same time......

Such a formation is not good against cavalry, but it is not a big problem to use it for foot combat. If the opponent's formation is not very tight, it is very likely to be scattered.

"Open!"

With a loud shout, hundreds of sword and shield soldiers stood still, and then the formation began to stretch to the wings, from a phalanx to a horizontal formation, and then began to slowly move forward - this is a formation used to squeeze the opponent. There are usually two methods of warfare for infantry to fight in formation, one is "squeezing" and the other is "slapping". The former is used by melee fighters such as sword and shield, sword shield, and Mo knife, while the latter is a method of fighting in array with warriors with extra-long spears.

"Good soldier!" Tong Guan stroked his palms and praised, "Wu Xuanzan, I didn't expect you to be able to train such a soldier!" ”

Wu Haogu laughed, "This soldier is not trained by a certain person, but bought by a certain person with money." ”

"Buy?"

"They are the Divination Blockers," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "After being caught by the Liao people, they were sold into slavery in the Jiehe Commercial Market, and I asked them to choose these hundred people from the Divination Slaves...... That's it, if there are too many or not, let's be the embassy guard for you. ”
