Chapter 597 "A Good Life"

The most convincing thing is still the recruitment of workers in Japan by Lord Chen of the Ming Dynasty. The shogunate came forward and issued a notice to tell the Japanese people all over the country that there was now an opportunity to make a fortune in the South Seas. After friendly consultations between the two governments of tomorrow and Japan, with the efforts of General Zhengyi, an agreement was reached with Lord Chen, the lord of Xinghai City in Nanyang, ...... Ming Dynasty.

At first, Chen Xie thought that after waiting for half a month, he could recruit 5,000 people, and it was almost time to leave. Who would have thought that before ten days, Tokugawa Iemitsu would come here with great interest. This will be Chen Xie is leading a group of people to plan the construction of the lease, and he is still in the stage of drawing drawings. For lease construction, Chen Xie plans to spend a little capital, first of all, the port, which is naturally to crush the small fishing port in Japan. The second is street planning, which allows the Japanese to see what is called Daming's urban planning. In the future, we will make those wealthy people in Japan proud to live in high-end houses in the concession.

"Got the money together so quickly?" Chen Xie also thought that the Tokugawa family simply sent money, so he naturally wanted to show Xiàn very kindly. Unexpectedly, Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't plan to give this money, so he just took someone to top the account.

"Lord Chen, this is the latest statistics, so far, a total of 35,800 people have signed up, just wait for the adults to send someone to receive it." Tokugawa Iemitsu was so excited, his face was full of red light. This silver came too easily, this is 100,000 silver yuan in hand, it has only been a few days. After waiting for two months, even the principal and interest returned.

Chen Xie was really stunned, I'm damned, are the Japanese people in such dire straits? If you don't stay in your hometown, what are you going to do in Nanyang? Chen Xie still doesn't know enough about the Japanese nation, at least not enough about the current Japanese. Nima, fifty acres of land. This number alone can directly make the vast majority of Japanese people crazy. Especially those young people, singles in their twenties, this is simply the Cotai Strip. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and sign up, shall we? More than 5,000 people from Edo Castle signed up. As for the fact that Daming burned their house, it really doesn't matter. You will be paid for working for three years. If you return fifty acres of land, any enmity can be eliminated.

Chen Xie quickly reacted, since they have all signed up, then don't be idle, and immediately called Daodaochuan Jiaguang and said: "After you go back, according to the order of registration, five days later, send 5,000 people to the concession first, we need to train for a while." Never mind. I'd better send someone to go with you, and you have to pay for the settlement fee, it's not easy to go out thousands of miles to work hard. ”

Master Chen looked compassionate, and Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately became a tide of sycophants, this product's Chinese is very scummy, and it sounds really hard to hear. In fact, these Japanese aristocrats have no problem writing kanji. But it's a bit of a stretch to say. That's not the point, the point is Chen Xie's loan. Finally, there are the first batch of workers, and the work of three links and one level has been settled.

The first group of Japanese youths were soon sent to the concession, and according to Chen Xie, as long as they put a fingerprint on the deed of sale, they could get a settling-in fee of 10 silver yuan. Then he went to the concession for training for a period of time, and then went to work in Nanyang.

This first group of Japanese youth. During the week of waiting for the tools, they received military training and were disposed of in accordance with military management. At first, Chen Xie was afraid that they would be disobedient and disobedient. I found out at the end of the day. These Japanese people are very well-behaved and very obedient.

The name Tojiro is more common in Japan, which means that he is the second oldest in the family. At this time in Japan, ordinary people have no surname, only a nickname, a cat and a dog bark casually. But after entering the lease of the Ming Dynasty, this phenomenon was immediately forcibly changed, and there must be a name and a surname, otherwise what will happen?

The non-commissioned officer in charge of registration directly moved out of the general family name and asked Tojiro to pick a surname by himself, Tojiro said that he was illiterate, so he knew that when he was born, the cow in the samurai master's family also gave birth to a second litter. This non-commissioned officer is also trouble-free, he directly wrote a name "Ushito Jiro" on the registration book, and then sued the sù family, and you will be called this name in the future. Ushito is a surname, and Jiro is a first name. You see, it's so catchy, that's what a good thing to listen to.

Don't say it, Ushito Jiro is still constantly thanking this non-commissioned officer, after all, he didn't have a surname before, but now he has a surname, and only Japanese nobles have surnames. The non-commissioned officer read mercilessly: "Next time!" After that, Ushito Jiro followed the people in front of him and approached the concession behind a barbed wire fence. The first thing I do when I come in, get my gear, take a shower, and change my clothes. Oh, and shave your head first, so you don't bring in lice. In a tent quarantine area, these Japanese lined up into a large pool, and when the steam engine suddenly screamed, he Niu Tojiro was not lightly frightened, but when the sprinkler head above his head came out of the water, he was not afraid.

For him, the bald head is completely stressful, and the backpack sent down looks very valuable. There are so many things inside, two pairs of rubber-soled cloth shoes, two pairs of socks, enamel jars, toothbrushes and toothpaste. These materials are all military supplies urgently transferred from Liaodong, and to be honest, the price is not expensive. Considering that these Japanese had signed a deed of sale, Chen Xie felt that it was necessary to "treat" them well, so that they could be willing when they went to Nanyang to play their lives in the future.

After changing clothes, putting on cotton socks and cloth shoes for the first time, and tying up the armed belt, I felt a little heroic. It seemed that this decision was the right one, and soon Ushito Jiro knew that he was wrong, because he didn't expect the good treatment here. At lunchtime, I lined up to eat, and one person had a bowl of white rice, which was really white rice, not rice bran boiled wild vegetables. With such a good rice, you can eat a big bowl without vegetables, right? Before he could react, the master inside was another spoonful, and then said "next" with a blank face.

Ushito Jiro is not good, just give rice to eat, and there are still vegetables. After he came out, he found an open space and prepared to confirm it, but when no one grabbed it, he found that many of his companions did not speak, silently crying over the bowl of rice.

What kind of dish is it? You guessed it, roasted potatoes with luncheon meat. The price of other things is too high, so in order to save costs, you can only use this. Daming's own luncheon meat, tinplate produced in Liaodong, pigs fed with Dengzhou feed, a large amount of starch, bone meal as additives. The only thing this thing can guarantee is taste and calories, nothing else at all.

That's it, the first bite went down, Ushito Yoshiro also shed tears, it was so delicious, it was really the best taste in the world.

After eating, the first thing to do is not to do any work, but to form a formation, and then set up a tent by yourself, and sleep in a tent at night. There was a blanket in the backpack, and after the ground was leveled, there was a straw mat provided by the shogunate's conscience. A person wraps himself up and sleeps like this, and that's all he can do for the time being. The tent was set up, and a team of 100 people gathered together to carry out the second activity, learning the official language of the Ming Dynasty, and they had to learn one sentence every day. Otherwise, they will not be fed.

Even in order to eat Korean rice for every meal, Jiro Ushito has to study hard, anyway, he doesn't ask you to write. Can write better, there is a reward, a piece of braised pork. Crookedly, after writing two Chinese characters on the sand, "Hello", and reading them out very awkwardly, Ushito Jiro was rewarded. At dinner, it was really a piece of braised pork, and he almost bit off a piece of his tongue.

The next day, when I got up in the morning, I lined up first, the fierce instructor, with a rattan in his hand, if he didn't do it well, it hurt! Ushito Jiro was also beaten, not much, just once, but the pain is unforgettable. After seeing the rice porridge and steamed buns for breakfast, Ushito Jiro didn't hate the instructor anymore, and felt that the beating was too light, and it was for his own good to be able to eat this for a long time.

After breakfast, line up to get tools and get to work. What for? Leveling the land, digging ditches, transporting soil, etc. He wants to take off all the clothes on his body, and he wears such good clothes to work, and he is doing evil.

A week later, a simple residential area was repaired, which was a simple mobile house, one by one. All combined, it can live tens of thousands of people, including a playground one by one. A new life begins soon, train! Training! Training!

The equipment is a smoothbore gun and a bayonet, and when you take the weapon, the instructor tells everyone that when you go to Nanyang, the local natives will attack everyone and rob everyone of your rice and braised pork, so you have to learn to use a gun. Well, what the instructor actually said was, "You bastards, you don't want to die in the South Seas, just train well." "The translator is a Japanese, and when he conveys it, he thinks that bastards and death can't impress these peasant-born soldiers, and the guys who eat bran all year round must really make them play with rice and braised pork. So, the translation is done, and it works very well.

The Japanese mercenaries with weapons grabbed one of them and asked if they would hate the Ming Dynasty and whether they would beat the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty with a gun. Whoever asks that will definitely be sent to the instructor. Damn, Lao Tzu has only eaten a full meal for a few days, and you came here to make trouble for me.

After a month of training, Jiro Ushito finally ushered in a good thing, he had a three-day vacation and could go home. After the instructor announced, they were named one by one. One by one, they stood up, put their fingerprints on a roster, and then threw him five silver yuan and said: "According to the agreement, ten silver yuan a month's salary, because I haven't officially gone to work in Nanyang, I can only pay half of my salary." Everyone's okay, right? "A hundred people twist their heads like a merchant's drum, who has an opinion? Eat well, dress well, and have money to get.

When I returned to the barracks, I carefully changed into the new clothes that were sent out yesterday, and the old clothes and shoes that I had sewn and repaired, and carefully put them on. It's not a shabby thing to take back and wear for your younger siblings. Wearing these clothes, it is the envy of other children. Five silver dollars, what can you do?

While Niu Tojiro was thinking about it, Su Haochen was complaining: "My lord, just give me food, and pay my salary." ”

Chen Xie smiled faintly and said, "When these people go back, what will they say?" Have you thought about it? How many indigenous people are there in the South Seas? How many can Japan kill in the past? When Chen Xie said this, he was really wrong. (To be continued......)
