Driven away by navy officers and soldiers, the Japanese beggars who came swarming had to disperse.
But some of them were still given some money by some Han immigrants.
After all, many Han immigrants are honest farmers. Except for those who have been recruited, most of them are people who would rather starve to the point of selling their sons and daughters than rebel. Therefore, there is still goodwill and benevolence, and it is inevitable that they cannot help but want to Give one or two alms.
Otherwise, these Japanese beggars would not pounce on the Han immigrants when they see them.
Obviously experience tells them that most Han people are very kind and will give them money.
The local Japanese people in the Japanese country, which has a larger population density than the Ming Dynasty, are inherently more competitive for survival than the Han people for production. Therefore, in comparison, the Han people are indeed more gentle and kind, and many Han people will take the initiative to give charity.
However, as the naval attaché said this, Gao Zijia immediately straightened up with the Yanling knife, and felt that he was indeed nobler than these Japanese slaves.
Gao Zijia followed the navy officers and soldiers into Nagasaki City, and then he saw that Nagasaki City was completely no different from the Han towns in China, and many of the shouts were also in Chinese accents.
There is a reason why the cries are mainly in Chinese accent.
The reason is that the main daily consumer group in Nagasaki is actually not the Japanese, but the Han people stationed here and their families, the Han people and their families who came here to do business, and the Han people who migrated here to farm.
Because most Japanese people do the lowest jobs, coupled with their large population and serious involution, their incomes are also the lowest, so their spending power is limited.
In addition, the Ming court intended to promote Ming Mandarin here.
Therefore, the cries are mainly in Chinese.
It didn't take long for Gao Zijia to be allocated ten acres of prime farmland in Yuan Jing's Mansion, the Chief Secretary of Japan in the Ming Dynasty.
Yuan Jingfu was originally the territory of Zuohe County in Kyushu, Japan. Later, because the feudal lord Nabeshima Naoshige participated in the war against the Ming Dynasty to conquer Japan, Zuohe County was occupied by the Ming Dynasty as a punishment for Ryuzoji Temple.
The reason why it was named Yuanjing Mansion was because Zhu Yijun specifically changed the name of the place to the character Qi Jiguang in order to encourage more Han people to actively expand overseas in the future.
The land of Yuanjing Mansion is fertile, otherwise it would not be the territory governed by a 350,000-koku daimyo.
Therefore, there is a lot of fertile land here.
It’s just that after the Ming Dynasty occupied this place, it refused to rent the land here to the Japanese in order to gather the Japanese to serve and mine, and at the same time, it could give the land to the Han people in the country, thus solving the problem of too many people and little land in the country, and thus making it easier to farm. Tax collection and sinicization.
Therefore, the original landowners and cultivators here have basically been either wiped out or driven to mining areas or to work in some places, such as participating in port construction.
Now, the cultivated land here is basically abandoned, or given to exiled criminals from the country or Han people who came here for other reasons.
this day.
A heavy rain had just ended.
Gao Zijia came to his field again, and when he saw that the wooden sign with his name, family situation, and the number of acres he received had indeed been nailed to his own farmland, he happily rubbed the wooden sign for a long time.
He really didn't expect that the imperial court would really give him land, and it would be such good land.
"I finally have my own field again!"
Gao Zijia, who had sold five acres of his own farmland due to drought, couldn't help but murmured for a while, and then tears flashed in his eyes.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
As he spoke, the Yaren pointed at the Japanese girl he had brought and spoke to Gao Zijia again.
Gao Zijia glanced at the Japanese girl, then at the hills and streams next to his fields, and then asked, "Can you endure hardship?"
"Of course I can endure hardship! I was born into a poor Japanese slave!"
"It's not difficult for you to raise her, just give her two meals a day."
The Yaman smiled and then said, "Is this a kind act? It's not easy for her parents to bring her here from Satsuma. If she hadn't run so fast, she would have been forced to become a prostitute by the Shimadzu family!"
Nowadays, the Japanese Kingdom is in the Warring States Period, with constant wars. The feudal lords do not pay attention to recuperation and recuperation during the war, but instead oppress the common people heavily.
Therefore, Japan in the Ming Dynasty was the most peaceful place here, so many Japanese civilians would flee here as slaves or be sold here as slaves.
Anyway.
Japan's Warring States Period, which has attracted much interest in later generations, was not a good era for ordinary Japanese people at that time.
According to records, some Japanese people did not hesitate to become slaves of Western missionaries in order to avoid the war. The number of Japanese slaves owned by Western missionaries once reached 50,000.
Stop gossiping.
Because of this background of the Japanese country nowadays, the Japanese girl also stretched out two fingers, as if to say that just give her two meals.
"Are you having a period?"
Gao Zijia asked.
"Here he is, fertile."
The tooth man replied.
Gao Zijia nodded and asked, "Can she speak our Mandarin?"
"I can understand a little bit, but I can't speak."
"It's just because I haven't trained for long."
"If I could tell, it would definitely be more expensive."
"But she was stupid and couldn't learn how to speak, so she had to sell it first."
"It doesn't affect fertility."
The tooth man replied.
Then he took out five coins and gave them to the man.
The tooth man took the money and left here.
Gao Zijia took out a piece of Hu cake from his bag and gave it to the Japanese girl: "Are you hungry?"
The Japanese girl hurriedly kowtowed, took it, and started eating.
Gao Zijia smiled when he saw this, and continued to take care of his new field, and said to the Japanese girl:
"You Japanese people still don't know how to raise fields!"
"It is such a good field for water diversion, but it has not been plowed with wooden oxen, and it has not been sprinkled with sesame seed cakes or radish seed cakes. In addition, the soil of this field is obviously cold, so there should be no ashes."
As Gao Zijia spoke, he took some soil from the field and licked it at the corner of his mouth, and said, "You have to sprinkle some lime to submerge the seedlings when transplanting the rice seedlings, because the soil is as acidic as vinegar mud!"
Gao Zijia has been working in the fields with his parents since he was twelve or thirteen years old. Like many Han farmers, he has rich farming experience and skills.
Just because it is not easy for producers to get rich through labor, Gao Zijia had become a refugee before that.
But in any case, after Gao Zijia came to Japan and became a new farmer, his farming technology was indeed much better than that of local farmers in Japan.
After all, behind him is the accumulation of technology from a farming civilization that spans thousands of years.
The Japanese Kingdom has been in the Warring States Period for many years and has not been unified. The most recent large-scale farming innovation was in the Song Dynasty. The farming technology brought by some Han survivors who came to the Japanese Kingdom during the Song Dynasty improved the farming technology. Therefore, the Japanese farming technology It lags behind the Ming Dynasty.
That's right.
Different farming empires in this era had differences in farming technology. Some farming empires still practiced slash-and-burn farming, while some farming empires had already developed compound agriculture and began to use primitive chemical fertilizer technology and soil improvement technology.
Ming Dynasty is the latter.
The fat-sprinkled hemp seed cake and radish seed cake mentioned by Gao Zijia were in the fields. After later research, it was found that they were used to supplement ammonium fertilizer and potassium fertilizer.
Moreover, during the Ming Dynasty, farmers also concluded the differences between various plant fertilizers.
According to "Tiangong Kaiwu"
"It is recorded in "Nai Li" that the Ming Dynasty has summarized seven kinds of plant seeds that can be processed as chemical fertilizers, including sesame seeds, radish seeds, rapeseed seeds, tung seeds, camphor tree seeds, black cypress seeds, cotton seeds, and It is also believed that sesame seeds and radish seeds have the best fattening effect, followed by rapeseed seeds, camphor tree seeds, black cypress seeds, and cotton seeds with the worst effects.
As for the wooden ox, it is a new type of agricultural tool that appeared during the Ming Dynasty. Because it has parts such as hooks and windlass, it can save manpower and cultivate more accurately.
Just as the emergence of the Quyu plow made the agricultural economy more developed, the emergence of wooden oxen in the middle and late Ming Dynasty also made the Ming Dynasty's agriculture more advanced.
Spreading ashes Needless to say, farmers of the Ming Dynasty in this era did already know how to burn the bones of birds and animals to raise fields to supplement phosphorus fertilizer.
Sprinkling lime adjusts the acidity and alkalinity of the soil.
Anyway.
The farming civilization represented by the Ming Dynasty is indeed much more advanced than the farming civilization native to Japan.
Zhu Yijun's biggest problem in making profits through external expansion is not that the Ming Dynasty is not advanced enough in production technology, but that the long-term self-sufficiency makes meat-eaters easily forget to make progress and do not feel that they have a mission to expand their advanced civilization, or even Actively abandon many technologies, such as ocean navigation technology.
The migration of Han people such as Gao Zijia not only solved the problem of more people and less land in the country, but also helped the land here to produce more food.
