Chapter 331. Mao Gelangtai
"Mao Master Mao, take care of yourself! The villain said goodbye!"
At the bow of the boat, the small boat owners and the little capitalists, reluctantly bid farewell to the mistress who was reluctant to leave. Standing on the port to see him off in person, Mao Jue was as majestic as the chubby "father" on the Korean Peninsula in later generations, with a kind smile that was still majestic and reached out to say goodbye. The little bosses from Fujian were even more grateful and fascinated.
These people were also a blessing in disguise. Mao Jue gave them the right to open a shop in Tieshan and Nagasaki. It is estimated that according to the resentment of being abandoned this time, from autumn to spring next year, the industry and commerce in Dongjiang will emerge like a wave of bamboo shoots after a rain.
On the other hand, the Dongjiang fleet also ushered in a new arrival. About 3,700 Zheng family pirates joined Mao Jue's fleet. Compared with the original sailors of the fishermen who became monks halfway through Dongjiang, these people were somewhat less disciplined and had a little less control over the Dongjiang battleships, but they were really good players who had been too aggressive in the ocean, and the farthest even sailed along the ship to the Persian Gulf.
Zheng Zhilong, the overlord of the South China Sea, was defeated. Mao Jue is now ambitious. Once he goes south to Fujian, these people will be used for great purposes.
But at this time, no matter how old sailors were, a group of pirates were completely new. They looked a little uncomfortable wearing the blue armor of Dongjiang naval masters. They grabbed the baby like monkeys. They kept catching up. The head led the newly sent quilted bedding, and the other head was led by the old Dongjiang sailors who were muttering to the roof, shaving and taking a bath. Everything in Dongjiang made these Hu Jian come to look around like a curious baby.
However, they have been new for a few days. This year, they have been fighting for more than half a year. Both the Dongjiang Navy and the Army are a little tired. The attack on the Deschwan family will have to be delayed for a year. After this, Mao Jue plans to train in the army. At that time, they will also enter the formal training of Dongjiang.
Although the navy training is not as heavy as the army, it is enough for these casual pirates to peel off the skin.
Today is to send the last group of prisoners to take a boat to Dengzhou, and then jump around wherever they like. Seeing the sailboat gradually disappearing into the sea level, Mao Jue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the war with Zheng Zhilong was going smoothly, it also consumed a lot of his brain cells, fortunately it was resolved smoothly. Now what Mao Jue wants most is to hug a few girls from his family to Kyoto to soak in the hot springs, then take a boat back to Sakhalin Island, and then go to his purple gold mine to see the snowy Sakhalin Island. In summer and autumn, the beautiful scenery here should be beautiful, right?
But just as Mao Jue planned it very beautifully, he had already thought about any hot spring to go, but Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. As soon as he turned from the port, a black shadow rushed to him. Before Mao Jue could react, he bowed deeply.
"I, Yuan Chonghuan, pay money!"
…………
Mao Jue's mouth couldn't help but twitch and exclaimed in disbelief.
"How many?"
"Five hundred thousand stones of grain and 500 thousand taels of silver, no less!"
Old Yuan's face looked like the cast iron plate of the Iron Mountain Cast Iron Field, and his expression seemed to be back in the second year of Chongzhen, which made Mao Jue regain the feeling of strangling him to death.
He was used to treating Japan as a bank! He suddenly asked him to repay such a large mortgage, and Mao Jue was reluctant and screamed there in tragic manner.
"How could so many?"
Unfortunately, the old Yuan came here with abacus and pulled out abacus beads for him on the spot.
"In order to prevent the Zheng army from attacking the sea, the Jianbi of Jiuzhou Island retreated thirty miles, and the territory of more than 1.3 million stones was temporarily abandoned. I missed farming. Now June is coming soon. My little Mao! It is absolutely too late to make rice and wheat!"
"Kyushu Daming and the shogunate mobilized more than 91,000 troops. Although the battle was not fought a few times, they were still garrisoned for more than four months, especially the Nagasaki Castle was burned down and the Guoshima family was driven straight by the Zheng army, and they all needed silver repairs."
"Five hundred thousand taels are already the lowest, and this is under the premise of sweet potatoes and corn!"
He pressed his hands on the table very seriously. Old Yuan was as expressionless as if he was telling something irrelevant. But Mao Jue's heart skipped a beat, and then he squeezed his chin and fell silent.
To drive the Dutch out, on the one hand, he does not want Western forces to influence Japan's development anymore, and if he wants to close the country, he will keep it in good condition. On the other hand, Mao Jue just doesn't want the sweet potatoes to come in.
Japan is an island country with poor arable land. The existing plains of farmland and fields suitable for rice cultivation have been developed to the extreme. The population of Japan is almost the limit. However, if the potatoes and sweet potatoes are in, they will turn in two or three times, and reach 60 million, it will probably not be a problem. This depends on the point of this. It depends on the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. There are no taxes in the land. In fact, taxes have been spread from the form of corvee to the land. The population of China in all dynasties has been wandering between 50 million and 100 million. By the Qing Dynasty, the population exploded to 400 million, all relying on these two high-yield crops.
Think about it, sixty million Japanese people! The dwarf legion was shouting the Bageya Road like a crowded world...
"Dongjiang expenditure on silver and grain! This corn and sweet potatoes are not introduced, can it be?"
After a few minutes of silence, Mao Jue asked seriously.
But Yuan Chonghuan also answered so seriously.
"Kyushu Daming and the Maori family are now the main support of the Toyotomi family. If it is not introduced, half of Kyushu Island and half of the Maori family will have hundreds of thousands of refugees due to no food to eat!"
"General Xiao Mao, then you can take out another one or two million stones of grain to support the autumn harvest next year, and that's enough!"
"You won!"
Mao Jue simply pretended to be a dead dog and lie down on the table.
…………
In May and June of the eighth year of Chongzhen, a cross-age beginning for Japan began, although they had not yet realized it.
The forests that were unmoved in ancient times were opened, and sweet potato vines transported from the Dongjiang River were buried, and they began to expose starry green leaves. There were also groups of short Japanese people, one or three to four meters, like goblins, and drove the originally free hillsides into neat ground ridges, rubbed the huge corn cobs, and sprinkled them into them one by one.
Yuan Chonghuan was an official and was dedicating his duties. Good guy. He not only planted corn and sweet potatoes in the areas of Kyushu Island in emergency, but also promoted them throughout the Western country, from the remote Iki country to the core of the Forest River and the Kinki, as long as there are mountains, there are the figures of these new crops. Mao Jue delayed for two or three years, but still did not stop the general trend of the spread of this new species.
However, the incident had already happened, and Mao Jue could only think about the better side. Think about it, even if the Qing Dynasty's population became 100 million and 400 million, it was not seen how strong it became. Instead, it was the biggest decline of Chinese physique. During the Ming Dynasty, foreigners came to China. It was recorded that everyone was tall and vigorous, dressed neatly, and were graceful and polite! But by the late Qing Dynasty, it turned into an astonishingly poor place everywhere, with the people as thin as fire and ragged clothes!
Sweet potatoes have half a year of grain. With these high-yield crops, the population has increased, but the quality has plummeted, and the average height has dropped by more than ten centimeters.
If you eat the already short Japanese people a little less and fall below the one-meter height mark, thinking about the 60 million dwarves, it wouldn't seem so terrible.
After a heavy blow of blood and ordered the mobilization of various materials from Dongjiang to hand them over to Yuan Chonghuan for operation, Mao Jue became lazy and plunged into the gentle land of Kyoto that he had managed, and he stopped coming out.
…………
Kyoto, Nijo River Castle, Fuji Yuzhai.
Those who succeeded with Lao Yuan were Luo Ning, a little vixen, Kyoto, Tieshan, and Nagasaki, which was opened to the Ming Dynasty. Mao Jue made a note for her. If it were placed in later generations, this girl would be an international strong woman with a building in Ginza, Japan. There was no way. If you want to run a horse, you had to give it to the horse. Besides, just guarding Dongjiang for one acre of three-point land is destined not to be long-term. If Mao Jue wants to grow and grow, it is inevitable to absorb other forces in the future. Although he hates the Jiangnan family, Luo Ning is still quite pleased with him. Accepting the Luo family is also a great attempt in Dongjiang!
This poetic hot spring restaurant was naturally opened in Luoning, and this girl is really capable. This Mao Jue is also on the top of the cow with Zheng Zhilong! She actually brought a source of tourists to Dengzhou, Shandong. The first Jiangnan tour group had more than 100 scholars and literati became the first to eat crabs. She lingered in the Tang-style Kyoto style and hot springs, and specially picked out the gentle village of the Japanese noble girl like luoli and threw down a lot of silver.
In the evil feudal society, Mao Jue, a greedy and shameless warlord, also enjoyed the privilege of inspecting the road sealed by senior officials here. The entire typical Japanese hot spring pool was vacated by Luo Ning, leaving it for him and her few mistresses.
Not to mention, these Jiangnan families are really powerful! In the hot spring water of about 40 degrees, Luo Ning actually made a group of alien small fish from Southeast Asia, steaming and having fun, and occasionally gnawing on the dead skin cells on the underwater skin, even fish treatment was made.
I spent more than a month on my efforts to spend countless brain cells, so I really didn’t feel comfortable in the hot spring.
On the one-foot-square wooden boat, there were iced wine and soft dumplings, wrapped in cotton bath towels produced in Shandong. When he wrapped his fiery red hair in a towel soaked with rice steak, Adrena comfortably pillowed her jade arms, lying on a lounge chair and soaked in hot spring water, closing her eyebrows and eyes.
I don’t know if her ancestors were mixed-race. Anyway, this girl has nothing to say about her appearance and figure. A pair of plump Oppas couldn’t even cover up the bath towel.
The female warrior Sakura on the other end was more zealous. She soaked in the hot spring water. The girl was actually meditating. Her beautiful black hair was combed into a ponytail and was wet. Her vigorous little face was full of seriousness. Although she was much smaller than Adrena, she was considered to be a foodie pair that was also undulating in the water. The most seductive one was the one who appeared and was looming.
Unfortunately, Mao Jue, who is known as a pervert, has no appetite at all, but Grandet pulled his fingers one after another.
"Losing sixty warships, one million taels of silver..."
"Burn and buried pension silver, 300,000 taels..."
"Military pay, silver for meritorious deeds, 500,000 taels..."
"Old Yuan's grain and silver are there, one million and three hundred thousand taels..."
As soon as the abacus hit his back, Mao Jue threw out an exclamation mark in the sky and screamed sadly.
"It will cost another 400,000 taels to recruit the Zheng family pirates into an army! This time I am really losing money!"
"Okay, my master!"
He had been muttering him for several days, and he couldn't help it. Adrena opened her beautiful eyes helplessly, and gracefully picked up the goblet on the wooden boat beside her with her white and tender little hands, while helplessly turning over the head and persuading.
"Didn't Zheng Zhilong still owe you six million taels of silver? And this year he has gained an advantage. He can make a profit of tens of thousands to tens of thousands of taels per boat. My master, why are you doing this horny?"
"If you don't get the money in your hand, it's not considered silver! How could I, Mao Jue, fight such a money-loss battle!"
Adrena was completely speechless. She simply raised her wine glass and raised her white and slender neck like a swan, drank the red wine in one go, drank herself a little confused, and then covered her eyes with a towel, ignoring the stingy Glentai. Unfortunately, God really didn't want her to feel comfortable today. Just when this girl wanted to see her in vain, a gentle sneer came out of the wet-style hut behind the yard.
"Fortunately, General Xiao Mao, you don't do business, otherwise I would be worried about death."
It is worthy of being a Jiangnan woman. The charm of Sima Qingshan's pen that still holds the pipa half-covered face was exerted to the extreme by this woman. Her slender gauze skirt and delicately carved feather fan covered her red mouth, but only those beautiful eyes could still produce a charming smile, which made people feel moved. Compared to the last time they met, Luo Ning seemed to be more feminine.
This charming chuckle made Adrena's face fly down like a superpower, and it was said that women are enemies, especially women with high IQ. A jealous and sour feeling formed a powerful aura, which steamed out all over her body. The beautiful blue eyes of lakes flashed with lightning, deliberately provoking to round the bulging Oupai, and the foreign girl said angrily.
"Shopkeeper Luo is a scholarly family, and men and women don't get married. You are so famous that you can't make you famous!"
"The wind and rain are like darkness, and the roosters crow. When you see a gentleman, Yun Hu is not happy. General Mao has a lifetime of heroes. What is this little detail for me?"
He is truly a cultural person. He lightly opened his red lips and smiled and beat the foreigner Adrena back with a line of poetry. And just as the foreign girl was furious, Luo Ning even smiled and threw out a big move.
"Besides, General Xiao Mao's famous sayings, all things in the world, food and beauty should not be disappointed! A new grouper was sent by the sea, and the chef was slaughtering and cutting stew. The flavor was greatly reduced after a moment's rest. How could I not whip it quickly!"
“Sashimi!”
He lost all the money, how could he not be nice to me? Before traveling through time, he loved sashimi the most. Luo Ning really wanted to do what he wanted. As soon as his eyes shone, Mao Jue ran up and watched him get wet. Even if he was as bold as Luo Ning, he couldn't help but exclaim, and turned his head over, his round and beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn towards him. It seemed that there was no difference between men and women in terms of lust.
Unfortunately, what disappointed her was that the hot spring water dripped downwards, and a large bath towel collapsed under Mao Jue.
The fresh sea fish that had just been slaughtered was sliced and placed on ice, and were dipped in Japanese mustard wasabi sauce and fresh soy sauce. It was a supreme enjoyment. He was barefoot with his bath towel. In Luo Ning's smile, Mao Jue rushed back to the house with water traces. Looking at his back, Adrena's little mouth was so sour that it was about to be flattened to the side.
"Stinky man! Big boobs in the heart!"
However, the right and wrong made the foreign girl perform it vividly. As soon as Luo Ning left, Adrena shook the Maori Sakura who was meditating and cultivating Zen again.
"Sakura Sakura! Didn't you say there was a ninja massage technique last time? Teach me quickly!"
Hysterical, in the stunned look of Maori Sakura, Adrena screamed gritting her teeth.
"I'm going to learn now!"
Tickling his head in confusion, he didn't speak at Maori Sakura, but another hysterical scream came out from the hot spring hut behind the yard.
Chapter completed!
