Four hundred and fortieth chapters trip
Zhao Liang reads historical time travel novels in his previous life and has a special feeling about a word - standing up team.
Especially I feel very good about the Japanese standing team.
The reason needs no need to say much, it just feels inexplicable joy and comfort.
So he also extended his hand to the Satsuma clan.
Are there some samurai warriors in the Satsuma family, and some are lower-level samurai who can't eat and use armor and even samurai swords.
As time goes by to the end of the 18th century, the Japanese samurai class has already exploded.
Just like the Yu Ding of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, just like the income of the Qing Dynasty green camp soldiers, the population of the warrior families soared, but the actual income not only did not increase, but decreased...
In every city in Japan, there are many lower-level samurai who are poor without even a samurai sword, or those who are poor with only a samurai sword are left.
Not to mention that it is still a famine in the morning. All Japan is short of food. It uses silver and food to recruit down-and-out samurai to serve as a standing team. Zhao Liang thinks that there is a big market.
The Satsuma Phantas acted as a "labor intermediary" in this transaction.
In fact, when Tian Shengqian came, the Shimazu family had made preliminary preparations. As long as the business between the two parties was negotiated, the first batch of 500 samurai could be sent to the senior officials immediately. Of course, they could also be sent to Qilu. However, it was more convenient for the senior officials.
It has been less than a year since the senior official was officially included in Chen Jun.
Although they were involved in the senior officials before, the senior officials were separated from Fujian, and the Yunxiao Gang naturally would not ignore this place. The senior officials produced a lot of deer skin, camphor, and rice, which were all very good resources, especially camphor, which is an absolute specialty for the senior officials.
Therefore, Wuqi Port in Taichung, Jilong Port in Taipei and Dagou Port in Tainan became the destination of the Yunxiao Gang.
But before these ports were all under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty, and the Yunxiao Gang relied on its great origin and made the road with money, so it built warehouses and trestles in several ports.
When the ports of various officials truly developed greatly, the Zhao family completely acquired officials.
Huashan Jiuyan was carefully looking at the Jilong Port in front of him at the cabin window.
Jilong Port is located at the northern end of Dayuan Island. It is the maritime gateway to Dayuan North, an important marine fishery base, and an excellent natural harbor.
It is one of the two ports that Chen Jun focused on building after he took over the Dayuan Island, and the other is the Dagou Port in Tainan.
As a superior vassal of the Satsuma clan, Kasuya Kasuyama, is not an uninformed person. He has been to Edo, Nagasaki, and Ryukyu. He has seen many ports, such as Edo, and the wharf. But the wharf in the past he knew was really different from the current Jilong Port.
tidy!
Jilong Port gave Huashan Jiuyan the first impression that it was clean, with port area, residential area, reserve area, garrison, and fort, clearly.
The entire Jicang Wharf is paved with a kind of gray-white stone, but Huashan Jiuyan knew that it was not a stone, but a thing called cement.
The warehouses and warehouses set up by the Zhao family in Ryukyu are also built with this thing, which is very sturdy.
The Satsuma family also bought a batch from the Zhao family, which was used by Shimazu Shigehao in his Juzhen Pavilion. Shigehao Shigehao bought a lot of valuable imported products. The family couldn't put them down, so he built a warehouse (Juzhen Pavilion) to store, and also set up an official position to manage the warehouse.
Not far from the port area, smoke rises, and it is a brick kiln area, which is said to be the place where cement is produced.
However, Japan does not have much demand for this thing. Because the Japanese even have wooden houses and cannot use cement.
This time, Kasuyama's follower of Ichida Morika came to the official, and his main purpose was to focus on Ichida Morika and prevent him from damaging the interests of the Satsuma vassal because of money.
By the way, I came to the Chen Jun ruling area to see if it had been restored to China as they imagined. Moreover, he and Chichibu Kibo would also serve as the office (supervisor) of the Satsuma clan to ensure that the rights and interests of the forward team were not damaged.
Even though the entire Satsuma clan knew that these lower-level warriors who went out were Chen Jun's cannon fodder, the cannon fodder also had dignity, rather than going to die fearlessly.
And no matter from that perspective, as an "intermediary", while getting a considerable amount of money from the Zhao family, the Satsuma clan also needs to transform into a bridge to communicate the connection between the samurai team and the relatives in his hometown.
It became a necessity for the Satsuma clan to send vassals.
Kasuya Kaoran would live in Jilong Harbor for a while and take a good grasp of his local life. Chichibu Kiboze might also come forward to the army, but of course, he doesn't need to go to the battlefield.
It was just less than a year, and Jilong Port has become increasingly busy since childhood.
Several large sailboats were moored in the port, and busy dock workers were using pulley cranes to transport boxes of cargo from the cabin to the dock pier.
The goods on the trestle were piled up like mountains, and the workers skillfully classified them, and then the customs transport team pulled them away with a horse-drawn cart.
It is said that the railway track line in the Jilong Port Port Area has been determined, and even a lot of supporting facilities have been built. I am just waiting for the railway tracks in Ruzhou to be delivered.
At that time, when you pull a train on horseback, um, no, it should be called a rail carriage, and it is all light rail, and the sleepers are concave under the ground, and all spaces between each other must be filled. Such rails can even be embedded concave carriage tracks. Although they look very similar to train railways at first glance, they are still very different.
At that time, the transportation speed of goods on this trest bridge will be faster and more convenient.
Zhao Liang never thought of pushing the rail carriage on a large scale, because the rails are too consuming iron. Moreover, the tracks of the rails are different from those of the railway.
It’s better to wait until the train technology appears.
At the same time, on the other side of the dock, a large group of people from the coast of Fujian and Guangdong were waiting for a physical examination. Policemen in black uniforms were carrying sticks to maintain order around them.
Busy but orderly.
The scene that people from Satsuma family saw when they stepped onto the Jilong Port Pier.
At the same time, Ichida Moetsu also brought three large ships this time. Two of them were loaded with sulfur, the other was loaded with Japanese red copper, and then some gold.
Because by sulfur alone, it is not enough to offset the price of goods they are about to transport from the generals.
The transaction between the Satsuma family and the Zhao family has always been in a state of superb status.
However, they sold the things they bought from the Zhao family at a higher price, thus achieving their own profits.
In a sense, this is the same as Britain's trade with China.
