"This matter is easy to handle. You will know when you follow us to the office building of the Tang Family Chamber of Commerce. Please let my friend go first, sir." Sakurako smiled, and this smile was filled with a kind of proud nobility. As the person in charge of the Tang Family caravan in Kokura City for the past two years, Sakurako has long been accustomed to being superior to others. No matter who it is, no one can tell now that she was just a pariah in Japan before.
Tokugawa Munebayashi looked at Sakurako's expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew very well that it was a village of untouchables. Although Sakurako was very beautiful, in Japan, she was just a plaything for high-end men. But now it seemed to him that he, who was born into a noble family, was more like a plaything. This made Tokugawa Munebayashi feel that the world had completely changed and he could no longer recognize it.
He nodded at Ying's words. He had to confirm it no matter what. If it really was someone from the Tang family, he could only consider himself unlucky. Matsushita Keiko was released by the crowd and quickly ran to Yingzi. Looking at Yingzi's noble dress, she timidly said, "Sister Yingzi, thank you so much for saving our family."
Sakurako took a look at Matsushita Keiko, and when she looked closely, she found that this little girl from the same village had grown into a stunning beauty. Her appearance could not help but move even a woman like her, let alone a man. Sakurako smiled and took Matsushita Keiko's hand. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Okay, sister Keiko, don't be afraid, I'm here. From now on, you just follow me.
”
Sakurako hugged Matsushita Keiko affectionately, but she was thinking, if she presented such a beauty to the prince, if she could win his favor, she could also consolidate her position with the Tang family. Who knows, she could even move up to a higher level. Thinking of this, Sakurako remembered that she wanted to go to the port to pick up the hostess. If her status was not too low, she would not have been stopped outside. It was not easy for her to show her face.
Keiko Matsushita naturally had no idea of Sakurako's thoughts, and her entire family was held hostage by Li. However, because Sakurako was too beautiful, Li, who was obsessed with money, wanted to stop her from having any wild thoughts and let her go with him at ease, so he kept her entire family hostage. At this time, Li had no choice but to release Keiko Matsushita's entire family from the carriage.
When they arrived at the Tang family caravan's office in Kokura Castle, they saw the architectural style of later generations. It looked extremely luxurious in front of Tokugawa Munebayashi and his family, while Matsushita Keiko and her family were stunned. They were extremely envious of Sakurako, thinking back to when she was a lowly Japanese girl like them. Later, her family was too poor and sold her. They never expected that Sakurako would live a life that only existed in heaven.
After proving Sakurako's identity, Li was very dry at this time.
Without hesitation, Yingzi handed over Keiko Matsushita's family to Yingzi. However, Yingzi knew that it was Li's fault that these Ming merchants robbed the Japanese, because it was a rule set by Prince Tang that these Ming merchants robbed the Japanese. In fact, Keiko Matsushita was Li's property after being robbed by Li. Yingzi didn't dare to take advantage of Li's power to take Keiko Matsushita away from Li. Once other members of the Tang family knew about this, she might be in trouble.
So Yingzi gave Li a business order from the Tang family caravan in Kokura City, and helped Li get a large piece of land from the island of Jiuniuerhu. This order was to purchase cotton. The Tang family would provide the cotton seeds, and the farmers or merchants would grow the cotton, and the Tang family would purchase it. This kind of order could be given to anyone, and judging from the current situation, the more cotton that could be received, the better. The only thing that really helped Li was the large piece of land used for growing cotton.
After the Kyushu War, a lot of land became unowned because the terrain and climate here were not good. People in the Ming Dynasty were not very willing to come here to open plantations. After all, there was still a lot of land in Southeast Asia and Australia that had not been opened. In addition, there were large tracts of land in India and Southeast Asia waiting to be cultivated. Therefore, almost no immigrants from the Ming Dynasty were willing to come to Kyushu Island. Only a small number of big businessmen were willing to come here, but they had to pay some land use fees.
Li Li got a large piece of land for free, which was more than 4,000 acres. Such a large piece of land made Li Li, a small businessman, excited. He discussed with his subordinates and thought that this was a worthwhile thing to do. At this time, Li Li had not thought that he would become a wealthy businessman by relying on the relationship with Sakurako and others after starting from growing cotton in Japan. At this time, Tokugawa Munebayashi was worried about his own future.
Tokugawa Munebayashi joined Li's team halfway and it was impossible for him to follow Li all the time. After dividing the spoils of war, Tokugawa Munebayashi took 100 taels of silver and four robbed women, parted ways with Li and his group, and stood on the street of Kokura Castle, not knowing where to go.
It was obvious that he could no longer stay in this Japanese territory. The places on Jiuguo Island had been looted, and the Ming Dynasty merchants were now planning to open plantations on Jiuguo Island. If a Japanese like him went back to those places, the final result would most likely be that he would be captured and enslaved. Other places in Japan were not safe places either. If those places did not surrender to the Prince of Tang, they would definitely become places like Jiuguo Island in the future.
It is not easy to live in Kokura Castle. There is a household registration system for residents here. If people from other places come here to live for a long time, they have to report their identity actively. Once they are caught, it will not be a good thing. Tokugawa Munebayashi looked at the four women around him and thought that he might not be able to live such a life with women around him.
Tokugawa Munebayashi thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to go find Sakurako to see if this woman who already had a very high status in Kokura Castle was willing to help him. If she was willing to help, he, Tokugawa Munebayashi, would still be able to make a name for himself in the future. After making up his mind, Tokugawa Munebayashi took the four girls to find Sakurako, determined to give it a try.
Sakurako looked at this person whom she had only met once in surprise. When Tokugawa Munebayashi explained his purpose, Sakurako hesitated. She knew that Prince Tang did not reject Japanese people, but only accepted those who served the Tang family or the Ming people. If she helped Tokugawa Munebayashi, unless Tokugawa Munebayashi was willing to serve the Tang family, from Sakurako's point of view, this man named Tokugawa Munebayashi was obviously from a big family in Japan, and might not serve the Tang family sincerely. If something went wrong, it would be Sakurako who would be in trouble.
Tokugawa Munebayashi saw Sakurako's hesitation, and he humbled himself and begged her. If it were a few years ago, Tokugawa Munebayashi would never ask for help from a woman of low-class origin. Over a period of time, the only dignity in Tokugawa Munebayashi's heart was worn away. He had seen too many families broken up, too many people killing and being killed. At this time, Tokugawa Munebayashi's biggest ideal was to be able to live a good life. In this world, being alive is the most important thing.
Although Sakurako is smart and strong, she is also very soft-hearted. Seeing Tokugawa Munebayashi's pleading, she thought for a while and decided to help him. She decided to open a women's training center, and let Tokugawa Munebayashi train those women. Tokugawa Munebayashi was born into a big Japanese family. Although he was a branch, he knew the etiquette and rules of the big family. Sakurako decided to find some beautiful women from Japan, train them with the etiquette and rules of the big family, and add some ninja training. Sakurako believed that the women trained in this way would definitely be very popular with the people of the Ming Dynasty. After doing business for so long, Sakurako also knew a little bit that only unique things can attract people.
The labor export of Japanese women to Ming Dynasty is a business under Sakurako. In the past, Sakurako only needed to export these good laborers to Ming Dynasty. However, after rescuing Keiko Matsushita yesterday, she had the idea of training Keiko Matsushita. As soon as this idea came up, she thought of training those outstanding Japanese women when they were exported for labor. Originally, it was just an idea and there was no final decision. This time, Tokugawa Munebayashi came to ask her, so she handed the training matter over to Tokugawa Munebayashi. Anyway, even if Tokugawa Munebayashi could not handle this kind of thing well, it would not cause too much impact on herself.
Hearing Sakurako's request, Tokugawa Munebayashi didn't think much about it. As long as Sakurako was willing to help him find a place to make a living and not be captured by the Ming people as a slave, that would be better than anything else. What's more, training those beauties and chatting with them every day should be a good life, and the income is not bad either, much higher than his income when he was a naval general. In addition, after Sakurako helped him become a resident of Kokura Castle, she also allocated him a house. Such a life made Tokugawa Munebayashi very satisfied.
However, Tokugawa Munebayashi had no idea that after only two months of such a wonderful life, he would suffer a disaster because of something he had never dreamed of. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened next, please visit www..com. For more chapters, please support "Paoshuba"!)
