The Tang family's caravan was not incorporated into the political system after Tang Tong established power. It was controlled by Chen Yuxian independently of the system. The current Tang family caravan is so huge that it is unimaginable. It involves many businesses. Most of the senior personnel here are the maids and servants of the Tang family. With the power of the Tang family, any maid who comes out is a big shot in the eyes of ordinary people. A small businessman like Li Li is very lucky to have the opportunity to meet a maid of the Tang family.
Sakurako is a Japanese who was given to Tang Tong at an early age. When Sakurako was sent to the Tang family, she lamented her fate, but a few days later, Sakurako felt that she was very lucky. Although she was not favored by the male owner of the Tang family, she was still very glorious as a maid of the Tang family. Not only was she envied wherever she went, but even her family lived a good life because she was a maid of the Tang family. Therefore, although the male owner of the Tang family did not allow these maids to leave the Tang family and find a man to start a family, Sakurako never thought about leaving the Tang family.
Anyone who is not stupid knows that it is a good place to stay in the Tang family. What's more, the male owner of the Tang family is very tolerant towards his servants. The only thing that makes Yingzi regretful is that there are too many beauties in the Tang family. Although Yingzi is also a stunning beauty, her advantages cannot be shown in the Tang family. However, Yingzi is a smart person and can be regarded as a smart and capable woman. She was noticed by the hostess of the Tang family, Chen Yuxian, and joined the Tang family's caravan and became a high-level administrator.
The area that Sakurako is in charge of is Kokura Castle in Japan. Although the foundation here is only a small part for the Tang family, it is also a huge thing for other businessmen. Not to mention small businessmen like Li Li, even in the eyes of those big businessmen, Sakurako is considered a big shot. This time, the Tang family's army captured Jiuguo Island. Sakurako originally had a lot of things to deal with, but when the hostess of the Tang family came to the port here, no matter how many things there were, she had to go to welcome the arrival of the hostess. Although she knew that the opportunity to welcome the hostess would be given by Prince Tang, Sakurako did not miss this opportunity to get close to the hostess, or perhaps she would have the opportunity to see the hostess again whom she had not seen for a long time.
Unfortunately, although the war on Kyukoku Island has ended, the martial law in Kokura Castle has not been relaxed. In order to prevent those who have slipped through the net from causing damage, the movement to welcome Chen Yuxian and others can be said to be in a state of high alert. Although Sakurako is a maid of the Tang family and a senior manager of the Tang family caravan, the guarding soldiers did not let Sakurako enter the port, and Sakurako had to return in disappointment.
On the way, Sakurako met Li Li and his group. She heard a familiar voice calling her name and couldn't help but look back. It was a girl who jumped out of the carriage and shouted at her. Sakurako was stunned for a while before she finally recognized that the girl was Keiko Matsushita from the same village. She had not been seen for nearly two days. Unexpectedly, she had grown into a rare beauty. When she met fellow villagers in this place, she couldn't help but greet them, not to mention that in this situation, Keiko seemed to have met something unusual.
With Sakurako's current status, she is not afraid of anyone in Kokura Castle, not to mention she has several bodyguards around her, so Sakurako didn't think much and walked towards Matsushita Keiko. Li Li had been walking around the city with his men, watching the excitement. Although they had looted some things on the battlefield, they were not very rich, so they could only watch the excitement for many things. They didn't expect that the little beauty who had been staying quietly in the carriage would suddenly jump out of the carriage.
Li Li was very annoyed when he saw the little beauty shouting in the street. He was about to threaten her when he saw a big beauty walking towards him with a few bodyguards. He knew from her posture that she was not to be messed with. Tokugawa Munebayashi also saw Sakurako walking towards him. Although he didn't know Sakurako, he knew that this woman was Japanese from the way she walked.
Although Sakurako is now wearing Ming Dynasty clothing, at this time, the clothing of the Ming Dynasty is not much different from that of Japan. Moreover, the Japanese of this era, especially the upper-class Japanese, like to wear Ming Dynasty clothing. Therefore, to tell whether a person is a Ming Dynasty person, you have to tell from his behavior.
Li Lizheng wanted to take Matsushita Keiko away quickly. He didn't want to cause any trouble in this place, but Yingzi didn't let him go. She took a few steps and said to Li Lizheng from behind: "Sir, please wait a moment. This Miss Keiko is my friend. I wonder if you can give her to me.
”
A few days later, Sakurako had already learned to speak decent Chinese. Although her language wasn't entirely standard, she had no problem communicating with Li Li and the others. When Li Li heard that this woman was a friend of Matsushita Keiko, whom he had abducted, he knew that today's situation was not going to be handled lightly. He also realized that Sakurako was Japanese. However, the Japanese who could roam freely in Kokura Castle were generally those under the jurisdiction of Prince Tang. While they held low status, some Japanese who were well-off still held some power.
"Miss, I'm Li Li. Judging from your attire, you must be from a wealthy family. How could you possibly know a lowly Japanese person?" Li Li was not a reckless person. He first probed into Yingzi's background.
"Haha. So it's Mr. Li. My name is Yingzi. I'm the head of the Tang family merchant group in Xiaocang City." Yingzi had rubbed shoulders with quite a few people in recent days. She wasn't one to get along with. Knowing Li Li was testing her background, she simply revealed herself as the head of the Tang family caravan. With this identity, few dared to provoke her in Xiaocang City. It was simply because she had been with the Tang family. She was influenced by Tang Tong, the male head of the family. Unlike other women of this era, she always referred to herself as "I." Of course, this was also because her status outside was higher than average.
"Tang Family Caravan? Are you Yamaguchi Sakurako, the Tang Family's female shopkeeper in Kokura City?" Li Li was shocked. As a merchant, he always paid close attention to the affairs of the Tang Family Caravan. Sakurako wasn't very well-known in the Tang Family Caravan, but merchants in Kokura City knew her. Li Li never dreamed that he would meet the Tang Family's female shopkeeper in Kokura City.
Many merchants in the Ming Dynasty today understand the concept of management. Some people prefer to call others "shopkeepers," but this is a habit that is difficult to change overnight.
"Yes, Mr. Li, I am Sakurako Yamaguchi. If you are free, how about coming to my office building for a visit?" Sakurako nodded with a smile. The Tang family's reputation has always been very good, and I believe this time will be no exception.
"Oh, this... Since the shopkeeper Yamaguchi is not from the Tang family, how does he know this Japanese woman?" Li Li's heart moved when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he should accept her invitation, so he could only change the subject. When Tokugawa Munebayashi next to him heard that Sakurako was from the Tang family, the look in his eyes flashed slightly.
Tokugawa Munebayashi had also heard about the Tang family caravan, especially in recent times when he was in Li Li's team, he had heard a lot of legendary stories about the Tang prince. He took a look at Sakurako and saw that she was extremely beautiful. Tokugawa Munebayashi thought that Sakurako was the Tang prince's woman. He couldn't help but think that the Tang prince was really generous and allowed his woman to run around on the street.
The social status of women in Japan is very low. Generally speaking, women are men's property and personal belongings and are not allowed to run around outside. Therefore, Tokugawa Munebayashi's mind was inevitably full of wild thoughts. He also thought that since this woman was not the woman of the Tang prince, if he could climb up such a big tree, wouldn't he have a chance to rise to prominence?
Sakurako herself did not know what Tokugawa Munebayashi was thinking. She never even looked at Tokugawa Munebayashi from beginning to end. Otherwise, with her intelligence and vision, she might have seen that Tokugawa Munebayashi was also a Japanese. After all, some of Tokugawa Munebayashi's actions were different from those of the Ming people. A careful person would always be able to discover it. It was just that Tokugawa Munebayashi was unlucky and met the more careless Li Li. Li Li, who was only thinking about looting, never thought that someone would dare to pretend to be a Ming person and join their team.
"Mr. Li, let me tell you the truth. I am from Jiuguo Island and from the same village as this Matsushita Keiko. Later, I entered the palace of Prince Tang and became his servant. I don't know why Matsushita Keiko was brought to this place by you, Mr. Li." Sakurako did not hide her origins, but saying that she was Prince Tang's servant was just a pretense to scare people.
Hearing Sakurako's words, Li Li felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't say that this Matsushita Keiko was looted by himself. Although it was not a crime to loot the Japanese here, he couldn't say this out loud. At the same time, he felt unlucky in his heart. In this situation, Li Li didn't dare to offend this Sakurako. Even though she was Japanese, she was from the Tang prince's family and an important figure in the Tang family caravan. She was not someone a small businessman like Li Li could offend.
"Shopkeeper Yamaguchi, since she is your friend, it doesn't matter if I give her to you. It's just...how can you prove that you are from the Tang family caravan?" Li Li thought about it and could only sigh and admit that he was unlucky. Although he lost a lot of money, he couldn't just offend the people of the Tang family caravan. As long as the other party was really from the Tang family, then after offending the other party, it would become a problem whether he could leave this Xiaocang City. You know, this place is full of Tang family troops and Xiaocang City's city defense patrol teams. Even other people in Xiaocang City will not let someone who offended the Tang family leave this place intact.
