- "what to do?"
Li Xiang glanced at her nephew and smiled wickedly.
"What else can we do at a time like this? Of course we must try our best to defeat them!" When Li Xiang said these words, her teeth gritted loudly. "If we don't show them how powerful we are, then Zheng Zhilong will definitely be easy to bully because of us. Then he will definitely attack Kyushu with all his strength, and Kyushu will never have peace again."
At this time, the flagman on the main pole shouted loudly: "Sir Admiral, the ships are asking us if today's exercise is over?"
Hearing this, Li Xiang nodded and said to Yang Biao: "That's it for today, let's go back to Hong Kong."
Yang Biao stopped chatting with his uncle and took the order to leave.
After Li Xiang¡¯s order was passed on, the ships on the sea began to turn around and sail towards Nagasaki Port.
After two days of exercises, Li Xiang already had a very detailed understanding of the empire's warships.
To be fair, the Empire¡¯s warships are very powerful.
¡°At least, in Li Xiang¡¯s opinion, he has never seen such a powerful warship in his entire life as a pirate. If he had such a warship under his command before, he would not have been suppressed and beaten by Zheng Zhilong.
Although he had a lot of resentment about this, Li Xiang also understood that he was just thinking about it.
Now that he has taken refuge with Zhao Hongyu and has become the naval admiral of Kyushu, he is no longer the free-spirited pirate leader.
Therefore, he can recall many things, but he must not fall into such memories.
People, you have to look forward¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
With the exercise over, the fleet returned to Nagasaki at dusk.
"Entering the harbor!"
When the fleet entered the port, many Japanese vendors suddenly gathered on the pier.
I don¡¯t know where they all came from. Although there were small vendors on the pier before, the number was not very large.
However, as the fleet returned to port after the exercise, the number of vendors on the dock suddenly increased several times.
"Rice balls! Delicious rice balls! Yoshinoya's rice balls are delicious!"
¡°Takashima sashimi, secret dipping sauce, you will never forget it once you eat it!¡±
"Brother Sang, come and sit in our Spring Breeze House~"
When the fleet soldiers landed, these "ready" vendors immediately swarmed up and began to sell their products to the navy soldiers.
Since the Song Empire captured the entire Kyushu and Zhao Hongyu led his army to Nagasaki, the local Japanese in Nagasaki immediately felt what it means to be a "high, rich and handsome".
The soldiers of the Song Empire were very rich, and they were not stingy with their money at all.
¡°If you have snacks that suit their appetite, or products that they like, they will buy them.
????????? How have the Japanese idiots here in Nagasaki ever seen such a rich man?
You know, before Zhao Hongyu led his army here, the lord who ruled Nagasaki only ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of radish soup every day.
With such a standard of living, even the beggars in the Song Empire were inferior.
With regard to ¡®rich, handsome¡¯ people, the Japanese people here in Nagasaki certainly treat them with the rhythm of ¡®rich people, let¡¯s be friends¡¯. They tried their best to cook a lot of exquisite food, all they wanted was to earn some copper coins from the imperial soldiers.
Yes, copper coins!
Although the Japanese country is rich in gold, it is very short of silver and brass. Therefore, silver and brass are very popular in the Japanese country.
It is precisely because of this that most of the maritime trade between the Ming Dynasty and Japan was based on copper coins. At the same time, in this kind of trade, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty made a lot of money.
But for Zhao Hongyu, who has a cheating device, brass and silver are very easy to obtain.
And the gold of the Japanese country is exactly what Zhao Hongyu needs.
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to let go of this opportunity to take advantage.
At the same time, in order to facilitate the imperial garrison soldiers in Nagasaki to spend their money here, Zhao Hongyu also set up a special money shop to exchange copper coins and silver dollars for gold.
As for the exchange rate, of course it must follow the exchange rate of Japan.
You know, here in Jiuzhou, you only need seven taels of silver to exchange for one tael of gold.
Any fool knows the profits here.?
At the same time, five hundred copper plates here can be exchanged for one tael of silver. The price of brass in the virtual world is seven yuan per pound so how could Zhao Hongyu not make a profit.
Having this kind of exchange money shop also greatly facilitates the local imperial garrison.
After all, they are given out silver coins every month, and if they go out to eat, drink or have fun, it will be difficult for the Japanese to get them.
Therefore, the empire¡¯s soldiers stationed here always need to carry some copper plates with them.
??And copper plates are very scarce in the Japanese country, and their value is so high.
Therefore, the imperial soldiers who used copper coins to pay their bills and buy things were welcomed by the merchants and people here in Nagasaki. You know, if they get copper coins from imperial soldiers, they can smuggle them into Shikoku and Gyeonggi in exchange for a huge profit difference.
So to the people here in Nagasaki, the soldiers of the empire are no different from the God of Wealth.
In order to get money from the God of Wealth, the people here in Nagasaki began to use their brains, but anyone with some ability did not sit at home.
They either work on the dock to get paid, or they make snacks at home and sell them.
"Anyway, the elders of the Song Empire are rich, so they don't care about this little money.
After all, the vendors on the pier are all small vendors, which in modern times is equivalent to selling egg pancakes on the street. Because they are cheap, their business is always good.
The imperial soldiers with ample military pay and bulging pockets spent a lot of money in Nagasaki every night.
The big ones have big consumption, the small ones have small consumption.
In short, as long as the Japanese here in Nagasaki are not lazy, they can make a lot of money.
Of course, this is in comparison with the time when it was ruled by Japanese lords.
The Imperial soldiers disembarked from the ship and were immediately surrounded by piles of vendors.
They are constantly promoting their own snacks. At first glance, they look like the hawkers who set up stalls in front of the railway station in Tianchao County in the 1990s.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Imperial Navy have money in their pockets, so when they face these vendors selling food, if they see food they like, or if they happen to want to eat it, they will not be stingy at all.
It can be said that for the vendors selling their snacks at the dock, the soldiers of the Imperial Navy are their number one customers.
"Nagasaki is getting more and more lively, and these Japanese people don't seem to be so rigid. This is completely different from the Japanese people we have seen before."
At this time, Yang Biao accompanied his uncle Li Xiang off the flagship. He looked in the direction of the lively dock and said to Li Xiang. Li Xiang's flagship did not dock at the pier, but at the private military port.
Only building ships and fighting ships will park at the pier, such as the imperial warship left by Zhao Hongyu, which is docked at the military port berth that no one can enter.
The military port was originally part of the Nagasaki Wharf, but was eventually placed under the jurisdiction of the Navy and separated from the civilian wharf.
The purpose of doing this is mainly to ensure that the Dutch-style warships are the absolute power on the Kyushu sea. After all, warships like these from the empire cannot be docked casually at civilian docks.
It would not be good if someone with ulterior motives sabotaged it.
" Parking at the military dock can prevent such a thing from happening.
You must know that the military dock is right next to the army camp, and there will be many patrol sentries during the day and night. Therefore, even if the "careful people" hidden here in Nagasaki want to have any ideas, they can't do it.
??In an important military area, kill on the spot within a range of 100 meters. This order is definitely not just a matter of words.
Several people have already paid their lives for this.
Therefore, everyone also knows that trespassing is not allowed in the important military areas of the Song Empire. People really dare to kill people, and they are not allowed to bury them
"Yes, Nagasaki has indeed become much more lively than before." Li Xiang just stepped off the landing board. After hearing this, he took a look and nodded. "Perhaps the rule of the Song Dynasty was more enlightened than that of the Japanese. I think the Song Dynasty people were very encouraging of business. They did not prohibit people from doing business at all."
Although the national conditions of the Song Empire are not very clear, Li Xiang can feel this.
That is, the Song Empire was still very open-minded.
The Japanese Japanese people of Nagasaki under the rule of the Song EmpireWe, they are free to choose what they want to do, no matter what the imperial official is, they will not stop it.
Of course, this is based on a major premise, which is not to affect public security and stability.
Under this premise, you can do business or farm, or work for others. In addition, the officials of the Song Empire who ruled Nagasaki also gave some support and help to those who were interested in doing business.
As far as Li Xiang knows, there are many officers and soldiers in the imperial garrison here in Nagasaki, and they have all applied for commercial loans and purchased many businesses here.
In today¡¯s Nagasaki, the barbecue restaurants, ramen restaurants, stir-fried fast food and other stores that have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain have been built or are under construction. They are all opened by people like the Imperial Garrison.
This made Li Xiang very curious.
Because he couldn¡¯t understand why the empire didn¡¯t stop this at all. Wouldn¡¯t this have no impact on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers?
It¡¯s just that, as a newcomer, he can¡¯t say anything about this matter.
And, at least for now, it seems that the opening of these shops by those in the Army and Navy will have little impact on things in the military. (To be continued.
