Yuntai Mountain Villa, at the door of the study, the flowers are full of mountains and lead Abidyu to come softly. This villa in Wuhao Ancient is brightly lit everywhere at this time. Of course, such a waste is for Abiliu, a poor ghost samurai from Japan, to see - the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty is rich, and he doesn't feel distressed at all when he burns money!

The two of them stood at the door of the antique decorated nave, and the slightest footstep alarmed the people in the room. Wu Haogu's voice suddenly came from inside: "But Zixu and Qinyi? Come on in! ”

This voice is gentle and solemn, completely different from a few years ago, and I don't know how long it took to get it so right.

Hua Manshan is dressed in a white shirt, wearing a square scarf, and a three-foot Qingfeng sword hanging on his belt, plus his appearance is also good, very much civil and military, chic and dignified, similar to martial arts. The only difference is that he has more of a businessman's philistine air.

Abiru, on the other hand, wore the standard sashing outfit of a Japanese military attaché. Wearing a curly crown on his head, he wears a large-sleeved robe printed on a black background, with small sleeves and a sheet, a cut flat tied around his waist, a hakama that resembles bloomers and a bottom-down coat that can mop the floor, and boots under his feet. In addition, he also carries a knife around his waist.

This costume is not actually a so-called samurai costume, but a public military attaché's costume. At the end of the Heian period, the samurai appeared in large numbers, but they were still attached to the government and did not have their own unique culture. Therefore, they are dressed up to imitate the public, which is gorgeous but not practical.

In Wu Haogu's view, the only role of this clothing was to promote the textile industry of the Great Song Dynasty, because it was particularly expensive to wear and easy to stain and damage. Of course, such good clothes Abidyu couldn't afford to buy for the poor ghost, and the outfit he was wearing now was bought for him by spending a mountain in Hakata. At the same time, there are also military attachés dressed in brown clothes, hunting clothes, and crowned clothes, all of which are divided into winter and summer, as well as a summer dress with a belt, and a pair of large armor that is not useful except for good looks.

In addition, Hua Manshan also bought a large number of public women's clothes for Abidyu, which were extremely gorgeous and cumbersome.

Looking at Abiliu Qinyi, who was wearing a Japanese military attaché shirt, Wu Haogu smiled, put down the brush in his hand, and raised his hand slightly to signal the visitor to sit down.

Hua Manshan bowed and sat down on a rose chair. And Abiliu's relatives knelt opposite Wu Haogu.

"Kiss one," Wu Hao Gu said, "Zixu said that you are willing to be my retainer?" ”

"Hey!" Abidius and his party bowed to him, "In Tsushima, Abidius is willing to serve the lord." ”

Wu Haogu smiled, his eyes blazing just looking at this young man from a foreign country. He groaned and spoke: "Kiss one, then give you 600 yuan." ”

"Guan" and "缗" were basically common in the Song Dynasty, but there were slight differences. In Japan, however, it is basically only used in the run, not in the run. In addition, Japan does not have the concept of provincial mo, and the copper coin has always been a full amount of 1000 Wen. Moreover, the average purchasing power of a copper coin in Japan also exceeds the purchasing power in the Great Song Dynasty, and only ironware, porcelain, silk, livestock and other items are far cheaper in the Great Song Dynasty than in Japan.

And the income of 600 guan is not to mention in Japan, where poor ghost samurai and ministers are everywhere, even in the Great Song Dynasty, it is a high salary!

In Wuhaogu's political and business systems such as Gonghexing, Jiehe Business City, Jiehe City, Yuntai Xuegong and Tianya Town, the highest level of annual salary (excluding dividends and annual awards) is 5,000 horses (Wuhao Guli pushes the silk standard, so it is settled in silk as much as possible in its own system), which is almost 5,000 yuan. The ones who took this year were Wu Haogu himself, Su Dalang, Murong Wangwu, Huang Tingjian (he is now lifting Yuntai Xuegong Affairs), Mo Niangzi, Zhao Zhongge, Ximen Yu, Huang Shilang and Huang Wulang, a total of nine people.

And the annual salary of Hua Manshan, who recruited Abiliu's relatives, is 3,000 horses, which is considered a third-class high salary under Wu Haogu.

A high salary of 600 yuan is offered to Abidyu, a newcomer who has just started, of course, there is a reason, this Abidyu, but Wu Haogu is the key to opening the door to Japan!

In the words of later generations, Abidyu was the comprador who helped Wu Haogu's forces enter Japan—the kind of military invasion that was very popular with the people was very unrealistic for Wu Haogu now. Because the center of Japan at this time was Heiankyo, far away from Hakata, if it could not be a threat to the Heiankyo court, it would not be enough to force the Japanese court to submit if it was not enough to occupy Hakata and Dazaifu.

Organize a little mercenary and doctor, and there is no problem with a surprise attack to take Hakata. But a long-term war against Japan is not something that Wu Haogu, a businessman, can bear.

In addition, the invasion of Kyushu caused by the war would also interrupt the trade between the Song and Japan. Because Japan was still enforcing the three major prohibitions of the "Enxi Style" at this time, it was the maritime merchants of the Song Kingdom who profited from trade.

Wu Haogu took them to knock on the door of Japan, of course, if a war is launched and other people's financial routes are cut off, it will be like killing someone's father and mother - these people are filial sons!

Therefore, for Japan's strategy, it still relies more on Japanese compradors like Abidyu Qinichi.

……

“…… The so-called samurai is actually a very general term. There were famous samurai from the Genji, Taira, and even the Fujiwara clan, as well as country samurai such as the Abidyu family.

Famous samurai such as Genji and Taira could now serve the Emperor and the Emperor, directly own the estate, and serve as high-ranking officials, no different from the Minister. A country warrior like Abidliu's family could not own a manor of his own, so he could only send the land to the famous samurai or ministers, begging for their protection, and serving as the head of the manor.

The noble-born samurai could manage a large number of estates, and they could also hold official positions in Dazaifu or Kokuji. The lowly landed samurai were only able to manage a few villages or serve the more advanced samurai. ”

The one who is introducing the current social structure of Japan to Wu Haogu is his newly acquired retainer, Abiliu, who has 600 kan Yulu.

Judging from the envious expressions of Abiliu's relatives when he mentioned those famous family names, Wu Haogu knew that this product must be envious of the dead Genji, Taira and Fujiwara clans in his heart - this is probably the power of tradition, and the current Japan is afraid that there will be no rulers like monkeys and old turtles, right?

"If," Takeyoko interrupted Abiru Kyoichi, who was gushing about the situation in Japan in Mingshu official dialect, "if I want to build a commercial port on Tsushima, is there any chance of success?" ”

"It's impossible!" Abiliu replied, "The imperial court of Heiankyo will not allow it, and if the Abidyu family provides the port to the lord, Dazaifu will summon the Kyushu samurai to fight against it." ”

"How is Kyushu's armament?" Wu Haogu asked again.

"Heavily armed!" Abiliu replied, "In history, since the Tang Dynasty in China, Kyushu has experienced many incidents such as Hongren Han Kou, Zhenguan Han Kou, Kuanping Han Kou, Changde Kou and Daoyi Kou, and each time they entered the Kou, they were defeated by the Kyushu samurai!" ”

"There are so many Han Kou?" Wu Haogu was stunned, he didn't expect that Goryeo sticks would also invade Japan.

"Yes, the Han Kou are very annoying, but there have been no Han Kou in the past two hundred years. The last large-scale invasion was by the Daoyi people. ”

"Daoyi?" Wu Haogu thought about it hard, but he didn't remember such a person.

"About the Jurchens." Hua Manshan had heard about this, "It is said that a group of Jurchen pirates entered the coast of Kogoryeo and were defeated, and they fled to Japan. ”

"Hehe," Wu Haogu smiled, "The Jurchens can also sail?" ”

But he thought in his heart: It should be the ancestor of the Luohan maid, the Jurchen of the Suguan Pavilion, right? They live near the sea, and may have colluded with some pirates to act as thugs. That's a good idea! Turning back, he mobilized two or three hundred Divination Blockers from Jiehe Shang City and asked them to occupy a small island near Kyushu. Then let the Kyushu samurai come to the door and deliver the heads themselves, and if they can't beat them, then the Republic can come forward to help......

Thinking of this, he asked, "Isn't there a barbarian bandit occupying the small islands around the Japanese archipelago?" ”

"It seems that there is," Abiliu said, "As far as His Majesty knows, there are Austronesian barbarians who once occupied some islands near the southern part of the Oshima island of Kyushu, and used them as a base to enter Kyushu, and it is because of this that Nagatoku entered Kyushu." ”

"Austronesian barbarians?"

"My lord," said Hanamiyamado, "there are many islands in the sea southwest of Japan, some of which have tribal states, the largest of which is called Tensun Province, which is about 2,000 miles by sea from Meishu, and there are often maritime merchants blown to the country by the sea breeze. ”

This is supposed to be the Ryukyu Kingdom, right? In the future, Okinawa seems to produce coral, right? It's a good thing! Wu Haogu thought to himself: I have to find an opportunity to educate the people of the Ryukyus......

"What about horses in Japan?" Wu Haogu asked about Japanese horses again.

"Horses?" Abiliu smiled and said, "My family is a horse!" ”

"Uh, I'm asking if there are no horses made in Japan?"

"Yes," said Abiliu, "there are a few villages in my family that specialize in raising horses. ”

"Raised on Tsushima?"

"Yes, the Tsushu horse is the best horse in Japan, tall and handsome, and the stallion can reach four feet tall at the shoulder!"

"Oh." Wu Haogu nodded, thinking: Isn't a four-foot horse similar to a Jiangnan rabbit horse? But with the height of the Japanese, it can also be ridden. If they were to ride a Persian horse that was more than five feet tall at the shoulder, it would be a problem to climb on horseback......

Wu Haogu paused, there was nothing to ask for the time being, and decided to end tonight's conversation, so he said to his relatives: "Qinyi, you are now my retainer, you can no longer be called Abidliu, it is better to give you a new surname." My martial surname plus the rattan character of the Fujiwara clan is your new surname, so let's call it Muto! ”
