Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1871, the fully Ming Dynasty of Japan
There is a teahouse in Hyogo-tsu called "Tea Cloud". Here, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin drank tea and chatted leisurely, overlooking the Hyogo-tsu in front of them, and listening to the conversations of the people around them. Well, it still feels pretty good.

Arrived here yesterday and had a good night's rest. Today I feel refreshed and ready to take a stroll around Hyogotsu and have a look.

The days of sailing at sea are really uncomfortable. For more than ten days in a row, it is boring and bumpy. Only those who have experienced the experience at sea will know what it is like.

Or life on land is better, comfortable, drinking tea, enjoying life.

"I didn't expect the Japanese people to be so keen on drinking tea. The business of this tea house is quite good. Compared with our Ming Dynasty, it is not much different. There are even newspapers showing it."

Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea and took a look inside the teahouse. The entire teahouse was overcrowded and it was hard to find a table. The seats of Liu Jin and Emperor Hongzhi were reserved in advance, otherwise there would have been no seats.

"Drinking tea is like our Daming people. I feel that drinking tea here is no different from drinking tea in our Ming Dynasty."

Liu Jin smiled and nodded.

The teahouse in front of me is no different from Daming's teahouse in terms of layout, decoration style, etc., and even the shopkeeper and waiter in the store are all based on Daming's. Will not notice any difference.

"There is really no difference. Even the whole of Hyogotsu is almost the same as our city. I thought I had returned to Daming."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded.

"I originally said that I came to enjoy the exotic scenery of the Wa country and taste the special food of the Wa country, but now it seems that I am going to return disappointed."

"Your Majesty, you can still try the sashimi and sushi here. They are extremely delicious, but if you are not used to eating raw fish, you may not like it."

Liu Jin said quickly.

"Try it, it's all here, I still have to try it."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately became interested, and quickly ordered.

Then he and Liu Jin began to prick up their ears, and listened carefully to what the Japanese people in the teahouse were talking about.

"I heard, it seems that the King of Japan and the shogun are about to go to war."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. It's said that the armies of both sides are already at the border, swords drawn and ready to fight at any moment."

"That's fine, why is there another fight? It's not us ordinary people who suffer in the end?"

Someone listened and said with a sigh.

"I heard that it was because of the West African colony. The Japanese king hoped that the shogun would send troops to support the West African colony and help defeat the Spaniards, but the shogun was unwilling to send troops, so the conflict between the two sides intensified."

"In the final analysis, it is because the shogun and the Japanese king are fighting for the right to rule and speak over our entire Japanese country. If you want me to say, anyone can rule. Don't fight. I don't know how many people will die."

"If there is a real fight, I will immigrate to the Golden Continent. Wouldn't it be nice to be a Ming citizen comfortably? It will save me going to the battlefield when the time comes."

"Many people think the same as you. I have a relative who immigrated to Nanyang. Now I have a big plantation. I live a comfortable life."

"These days are still lived by the people of Ming Dynasty. There are many overseas lands, and some of them are local immigrants. We are a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and we can also follow the immigrants. Why bother to go overseas and compete with Spain for the colonies in West Africa?"

"We ordinary people are like this, but it is different for the Japanese king, the shogun and those daimyo. They immigrated to the Ming Empire and became ordinary people. Naturally, they would not choose to immigrate there. They would think They want to rob colonies to increase their income."

"Yes, yes, I heard that several daimyos under the Japanese king made a fortune in the West African colonies. Gold, ivory, and silver are constantly plundering white slaves from Europe to sell, and they have made a lot of money."

"So, the shogun will not be able to help, otherwise they will be stronger and more difficult to deal with. The shogun now controls some colonies on the west bank of the Indus River, which are completely different from the colonies in West Africa. There is no comparison."

"Anyway, I wouldn't immigrate to those places in West Africa. I heard that there are a lot of diseases in those places, and many people died there after immigrating there."

"If you really want to immigrate, there are good places overseas in Daming, such as Nanyang, Australia, and Golden Continent. If you really can't, you can also go to Daming's colonies and vassal states. We Japanese people enjoy the same treatment as Daming people, which is still very good. of."

"Yes, yes, the Ming Empire is worthy of being our suzerain, and it really has nothing to say to us Wa people."

"."

Liu Jin listened carefully, and laughed when he heard the conflicts and struggles between the Wa Kingdom and the shogun within the Wa Kingdom.

This incident was also caused by Liu Jin. He has been balancing the strength between the two factions within the Wa Kingdom, so that they can't do anything to each other, and they always maintain the appearance of confrontation and fighting. In this way, the Wa Kingdom will always be Unable to unify, for Daming, this is obviously more beneficial.

The inability of the Wa Kingdom to unify means that their power is always scattered, and they do not pose any threat to Da Ming, and Da Ming can also obtain a lot of benefits from it.

This is a strategy formulated from the beginning, a strategy to divide the Wa country.

This strategy is obviously very successful. The Wa Kingdom is now divided into the Wa King faction and the Shogun faction. Both have a large number of daimyo support, and there are many regions. They also want to unify the Wa Kingdom and establish their own status in the Wa Kingdom. Authoritative, but they can't do anything to the other party.

This is pretty good. Both sides must rely on the Ming Empire, otherwise it will be difficult for them to make a difference, and they must please the Ming Empire, otherwise they may be wiped out by the other party.

"Is there any business that can be done now?"

"Of course we have opened a factory. Once the machine is running, you can get ten thousand taels of gold, but it is best to find a partner from Daming. Daming people have experience and can buy cheap machines. Our Japanese labor is cheap, and many Daming people will The factory has come to our Wa country."

"Is Daming's labor very expensive?"

"It's very expensive. Hiring a Ming person now costs at least five or six taels of silver a month, and you have to pay for food and housing. Otherwise, no one will be willing to do things for you."

"It's too expensive, five or six taels of silver a month, including board and lodging. No wonder many Ming people moved their factories to our country. If we have two or three taels of silver a month in Wa country, it is already very expensive." Not bad."

"Isn't it? Earning two or three taels of silver a month is already a very high income. In the past, you might not be able to see a tael of silver a year."

"It used to be before, and now it is now. There is still a big gap between us Wa people and Daming people. Daming people have a lot of land, and many people are unwilling to work in factories. They all want to immigrate to farm by themselves. One is Hundreds of acres, thousands of acres of land.”

"That's why a lot of people immigrated to Daming. Daming's income is high, and it can be similar to that of Daming people. Who would come to Japan to suffer here?"

"Isn't that right? And if you immigrate to Daming, you can still get a Daming surname. After one or two generations, you will be a real Daming person."

"You didn't see it. Last time, I had a relative who came back from Nanyang. He was so arrogant and arrogant. He really regarded himself as a pure Daming person."

"Don't tell me, there really are such people. I have relatives who are also like this. I immigrated to Daming, and I feel that they are more arrogant than real Daming."

"The people of Daming are actually very modest, polite, and gentle. They are actually very easy to get along with, and they don't think they are so great."

"Yeah, yeah, the Daming people I have met are actually pretty good, they are polite and talkative, and they don't look down on us Japanese."

"It's not like those people. They immigrated to the Ming Empire one by one. They all thought they were real Ming people. They couldn't even speak Ming dialect well, and they couldn't even write Chinese characters."

"That's right, it's annoying to see these people."

"."

Liu Jin wanted to laugh while listening.

The Ming Empire is very attractive to the Japanese. There are many people who immigrate to Daming. As long as they immigrate to the overseas places of Daming, they can enjoy the same treatment as the Ming people. This is also the Nanyang that attracted many Japanese and Koreans to Daming. , Australia, Golden Continent, vassal states and colonies, which greatly promoted the development and management of these places by Ming Dynasty.

This is also one of the motivations for Japan to learn from Ming Dynasty everywhere. Many people work hard to learn Ming Dynasty Mandarin and Chinese characters for the purpose of immigrating to Daming. After all, immigrating out can lead a good life, but staying in Japan is miserable.
