"Those people are here again." Yang Sanmei rolled her eyes. She and her brother were doing business at the gate of the city. They sold food to walkers. They were cheap, but they could also make a lot of money, and they paid less taxes. come better.
But since those Japanese pirates came, the number of walkers gradually decreased. They did not enter and exit through the main gate of the city wall. The other entrances and exits were already occupied by other hawkers, and they used to have no seats.
To set up a stall, you have to pay a stall fee. They used to force it, and the other party could ask the yamen to drive them away.
Today, those who manage hawkers are not called yamen, they are called city officials. They only take care of hawkers and road traffic, and only those who manage fights are yamen.
Yang Sanmei was indignant: "It's because of them that we can't do business!"
"You should catch them, throw them all in prison, and don't come out in this life!"
Her brother Yang Da also said, "Yes! All caught!"
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents, so it's no wonder they gnashed their teeth in hatred.
Yang Sanmei looked at her eldest brother: "Brother, it seems that the day of your marriage will be pushed back."
They could have renovated the house and built two more yards with less money. One yard will be given to Yang Da and his daughter-in-law, and the other yard will be given to Yang Sanmei.
If Yang Sanmei has a place to live, if she is not recruited to marry, she can live long when she returns to her parents' home.
Yang Da sighed.
There were not many young women in their place. He finally set a wedding date with a girl from the Japanese slave country, and he had to push it back.
Yang Da is almost thirty, and he has not been able to marry a wife at such an old age. It was because of chaos in the past few years, and poverty in these years.
It's hard to find a way to make money.
"Yang Dayang, San, why are you two standing here stupidly?" Qian Da who lived next door held a knife in his hand, and when he saw them standing still at the door, he asked strangely, "You two lose money. Do you still have time to spare?"
Yang Sanmei glared at him: "Then I have to give me money. After those Japanese pirates come, our business will not be able to continue."
Qian Da: "Then you still have to endure. I heard that the adults want to ask the Japanese pirates to build a village outside the city."
Yang Sanmei was startled: "Qian Da! Who are you scaring!"
Qian Daxipi smiled: "Why should I scare you? Go to the city wall and see for yourself, they are all cutting down trees to build houses!"
Yang Sanmei and Yang Da looked at each other and their faces turned pale.
"Adults..." Yang Sanmei opened her mouth to speak, asking if there was something wrong with the adults' brains, but she didn't dare to say it, so she could only hold back, her face turned red, and she was so angry that she could smoke.
Seeing that they were so frightened, Qian Da stopped teasing them and said, "You fools, they built a village outside the city, where will the salt and grain come from? Of course they come from us, and they have to buy it with money. Where are you from?"
Yang Sanmei and Yang Dasha asked nonchalantly, "Yes, where does the money come from?"
Qian Dadu was smirked by the two of them: "By earning, where is it as simple as they want to rob the house? Can they break in? It's just to rob the caravan, the soldiers guarding the city wall are not vegetarian, they all went to the battlefield, this is the ."
Money gave a thumbs up.
"Those Japanese pirates, the soldiers still don't see it in their eyes! No matter how powerful they are, how powerful are Yuan soldiers?"
Yang Sanmei still had a sad face: "Then they have been outside the city gate, and the caravans don't come in from there. Don't we have no money?"
"Stupid?" Qian Da rolled his eyes, "I say you are stupid and don't admit it, just wait and see, you are optimistic about the booth, and you will earn more than anyone else in the future."
"Let's go, come to my house for dinner tonight." Qian Dachao smiled at Yang Sanmei, "I have meat to eat."
Yang Sanmei swallowed and said sternly, "Who wants to eat your meat! It's not like my family can't afford it!"
Qian Da: "Oh, it's amazing to have money. I think you're saving money to build a yard, but I didn't expect you to buy meat."
Yang Sanmei looked left and right, picked up a broom from the door and ran over, running and saying, "Stop if you have the seeds!"
Qian Da ran quickly with the meat in his hands, turned his head and smiled: "I won't stop! I'm not married yet! No seeds!"
After chasing a street, Yang Sanmei stopped and stopped chasing.
Qian Da was still saying, "Come to my house for dinner tonight!"
Yang Sanmei laughed angrily: "Wait, I can't beat you!"
Qian Da: "Okay!"
The Japanese pirates built a village outside the city, and the people in the city were panic-stricken at first, but after a long time, they found that the Japanese pirates were not so scary. Gun let them go back home.
The Japanese pirates also knew the danger, but there was no way.
They couldn't rush into the city with knives, but they always had to fill their stomachs.
Komatsuhara is the village chief of this village. He was originally a samurai, but the adults above were fighting openly. They can have enough to eat, they don’t have to drown when they give birth, and old people don’t have to go up the mountain to feed wild animals.
After they came, the only way they could think of to survive was to rob.
Just like in their own country, as long as they grab it, it's theirs.
But the idea is good, but it is very difficult to implement. These city walls are so high that they make them desperate. They have also robbed the caravan that was about to enter the city, but the caravan brought many good players, and they did not take advantage of it a few times. Instead, more and more people died.
If it were not really desperate, they would not agree to build a village.
Komatsuhara still remembered that the woman told them that as long as they did not cause trouble for three years, they could enter the city.
He didn't believe it, but he had to, because there was no other choice.
"You are the village chief." When the woman said that, Komatsuhara no longer believed it.
village head! It's almost like a lord!
Komatsuhara did not expect that he did not become a city lord in his own country, but he could become a lord in Daming.
So when his subordinates persuaded him, he also persuaded them in turn.
"We don't have weapons." Komatsuhara said, "There aren't many people. If we really fight them, do we have a chance of winning?"
The subordinates were angry: "We are samurai! A samurai can't live by begging for mercy!"
Komatsuhara sneered: "Then why did we escape?"
The crowd suddenly fell silent.
Komatsuhara said again: "We have built a village, and we can recruit warriors like us in the future. When we become stronger and stronger, this city will be our treasure! Don't be shortsighted!"
His subordinates looked at Xiao Songyuan and asked again, "But those Ming soldiers are on the city wall. If we do anything..."
Komatsuhara: "Then we will survive for three years. When we can enter the city, we don't even have to pass the city wall."
No matter how he thought about it, what Komatsuhara said made sense. The Japanese pirates agreed and felt that this was also a solution. Those Daming people were all fools, and they waited for the Daming people to shoot themselves in the foot three years later.
The Japanese pirates' village was built very quickly. After all, it was just a grass hut, and some merchants asked them if they needed some furniture, which were all cheap.
The Japanese pirates are very surprised that there are still businessmen who dare to do business with them, so they are not afraid that they will rob him
The merchant laughed: "Go ahead and grab it. Those things are not worth a lot of money. If you grab it, there will be no merchants coming."
The merchant also brought a woman from the Japanese slave country, who could speak both the Da Ming dialect and the Japanese slave dialect.
Nowadays, Japanese women can find translation jobs as long as they are good at Daming Mandarin.
After all, businessmen have to keep buying people from Japan.
Or Komatsuhara said, "We have no money."
He said it righteously.
Businessman: "I know you have no money, so I came to do business with you. I can give you these furniture, as well as quilts and clothes, but I can't give it for nothing."
Furniture is nothing, but quilts and clothes are indeed what they need. Seeing that winter is coming, food and warm clothes are not guaranteed.
Since the grass shed, Komatsuhara found that his subordinates seemed to be relaxed, and they were no longer as anxious as wild dogs as before.
Komatsuhara: "What do you want us to do?"
Merchant: "It's simple! When I was doing business, there were Japanese pirates on the road. You escorted me all the way, and I gave you food, furniture, and clothing."
Komatsuhara squinted: "Aren't you afraid we'll kill you on the way?"
The businessman smiled and said, "You killed me, why don't you want to fight other Japanese pirates? You may not win if you fight, and you may not keep your things if you win, but as long as you escort me over, you can take your things. arrive."
Komatsuhara looked at his subordinates with excitement on all faces.
"Besides, you really killed me, and I can't come back." The businessman also said, "It's not easy to live in this grass hut, don't you think? But if we can keep working together, I can build a brick house for you. ."
Komatsuhara: "I promise you."
The businessman stood up: "Then tomorrow morning, I will bring someone to your village and let's set off together."
Komatsuhara nodded solemnly.
After the merchant left, his subordinates said, "We'll kill him when we're far away! Grab his stuff!"
Komatsuhara glared at them: "Then what?"
Subordinates: "Huh?"
Komatsuhara: "Then we will continue to live the days before, and we won't be able to come back when the ones we grabbed are gone. We will continue to live the days of sleeping in the open air?"
Subordinates: "..."
Makes sense.
After the businessman left, Momoyo, who was following him, asked cautiously, "My lord, I'm afraid they will hurt you."
The businessman smiled and said, "You seek wealth and wealth at risk, Taodai, don't learn from them, live your life well, and marry a good man in the future. Maybe you can go back and have a look when there is no war on your side."
Momoyo lowered her head, she didn't want to go back.
Although she also misses her hometown, her hometown is no longer her childhood hometown.
Here, she can earn money by herself, choose a man by herself, don't need to be beaten, don't have to do heavy work, and don't worry about being bought or sold.
The businessman narrowed his eyes.
The adults above asked him to hire these Japanese pirates, and promised him that as long as he hired them, he would have a place in the city chamber of commerce in the future.
At that time, his caravan will be followed by the soldiers of the imperial court. As long as the Japanese pirates want to make a move, none of them will be able to escape.
What's more, the good guys he hired were all retired from the military camp.
If the Japanese pirates dared to move, they would be courting death themselves.
