Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 276 Gold Rush ([-])
Yangyuan (Kyoto Plain, Japan)
Sunshine City (Kyoto, Japan)
More than 5 Japanese slaves worked under the supervision of each guild. They removed the stone slabs from the large carriage, and then laid the stone slabs on the dug foundation according to the instructions of the [guild minister].

Some Japanese slaves, holding shovels and shovels, are struggling to dig up the swamp mud, and drain the swamp water into the stream along the newly dug drainage canal.

And in the rear, on the muddy ground that had been drained for several days, there were Japanese slaves transporting volcanic rocks and volcanic ash from large carriages.

Spread volcanic rocks and volcanic ash on the sun-dried mud floor, and then other Japanese people moved down the slate and spread the slate on the volcanic ash in the mud pit.

In this way, ground subsidence is prevented.

Even in the coldest winter and the hottest summer, this kind of work will not stop. The daily working time is eight hours.

In order to prevent the slaves from being exhausted when working, their food has enough salt.

From time to time, some Japanese slaves are injured. If they are slightly injured, they will be allowed to rest for a day, and then continue to work the next day. If they are seriously injured, they will continue to work and die. Don’t waste herbs. Someone will transport the body Next to the plantation for split composting.

It's not a pity to let him rest after being injured, but these slaves were bought from hunting teams by various guilds, and belonged to the guild's property, so they should not be wasted.

Magpie Bridge Island (Honshu Island) has three large plains, namely Taiyangyuan (Kyoto Plain), Taiyinyuan (Nagoya Plain), and Taijiyuan (Kanto Plain).

There are a lot of swamps in the three plains, among which Taiji Plain is full of swamps, and there is almost no land that can be directly cultivated.

Although the swamp can be difficult for ordinary farmers, it is not difficult for the Wang family. Under the unified plan of the Wang family, a large number of guilds participated in the development of the swamp in the nearest Sunyuan.

The swampy terrain has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to cultivate, takes a long time, and the cost is high. The advantage is that after cultivation, the land is very fertile, which is more suitable for planting than ordinary plains, so there is no need to worry about lack of fertility.

The Wang family first laid several temporary roads with wood in the swamp, and then dug day-by-day drainage ditches along these roads to drain the water from the swamp into the stream.

Then dig soil from the forests where the trees have been cleared, and bury the soil on the drained swamp mud.

Then, lay a layer of stones on the dry soil and fill it with soil. If it is a road, use more resilient volcanic rock and volcanic ash, and pour [human oil] on the soil and stones to make it more solidified. Finally, Lay another layer of stone slabs.

These human oils are all squeezed out of the corpses of slaves, because they are prone to get sick after eating, so they can only be sold to the Central Plains and grasslands, or used to pave roads and as lubricants, and cannot be directly given to the royal ruled areas people eat.

The area ruled by the royal family generally eats [animal oil] and [vegetable oil], and only [human oil] was eaten a long time ago, but because of this, a large-scale disease epidemic occurred, so the people in the area ruled by the royal family were prohibited from eating [human oil] .

Snapped!
A guild official from the [Egret Guild] lashed the back of a lazy Japanese slave with a whip.

"Don't be lazy! If you dare to be lazy, use it directly to extract oil! If you don't do it, someone else will do it!" The official of the Egret Guild said indifferently.

Since the population of the Lelang area was about to be evacuated by the Wang family, [Egret Squad] also changed careers, stopped the pirate business, and now started plantation reclamation and engineering contracting.

A large number of slaves were purchased on Wajima, and then these slaves were supervised to reclaim wasteland. Part of the reclaimed wasteland was reserved for plantations, and part was resold to new immigrants.

Now the new immigrants have more choices. They can continue to look for wasteland with the land reclamation certificate as before, or they can directly buy the ready-made farmland that has been reclaimed by the guilds and repay it in the form of debt. debt.

As the largest guild, [Egret Guild] has more than 5000 Japanese slaves, all of whom belong to their property.

Every shareholder of the guild is called [Qing], the highest representative of the guild is called [gong], and those who work for the guild are called [shi], depending on the amount of shares invested, there are also [ Shangqing] and [Xiaqing], all members of the guild can be collectively referred to as [Qingshi].

This is to treat a guild as a vassal state in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, unlike the vassal states of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the vassal states managed land, while the guilds managed assets.

And in fact, the strength of a guild is not inferior to that of a small vassal state in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After all, before the rise of the Chu Kingdom, there were no bullock carts, so they had to go to steal cattle from other princely states.

The total assets of the first-ranked [Egret Guild] have reached 5000 million five baht, and the second-ranked [Taoyuan Guild] has a total asset of [-] million five baht.

Among the Japanese slaves, a very strong Japanese boy was working under the whip while shedding tears of resentment on his face.

His name is [Toyotomi Hideyoshi]. He was originally a prince of a Japanese nation, but he was defeated by a hunting team. He and his people became slaves and were sold to the Bailu Guild by the hunting team. Being whipped by the egret guild to build roads and build houses.

at night
crackle crackle crackle!

The bonfire was lit, and the Japanese slaves ate pickled vegetables and fish under the strict supervision of the guild officials.

Although they were slaves, they had to work after all, and the Wang family didn't have much else, only fish and salt. The fishing ground in the northeast of Niulang Island provided the Wang family with a large amount of salted fish every year.

Wang's fish is so abundant that it is cheaper than rice of the same weight.

Therefore, except for some wealthy people who choose to eat mutton, almost all the people in the Wang family's ruled area have changed their eating habits, taking fish as their staple food, and instead rice and soybeans have become non-staple food.

"The Japanese's life is also their life."

"I have a dream. One day, we Japanese can also stand up, overthrow the rule of the slave owners, and build a beautiful country belonging to the Japanese."

"The Japanese can also own their own houses, farmland, cattle, and... freedom!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked at the starry sky and said some encouraging words.

"I really hope to have this day."

"We Japanese are born slaves, how can we have our own homeland?"

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi, you actually want to rebel and want to be free. I will report you to the master, and the master will reward me, hehe~"

Most of the Japanese people think that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is just dreaming, and some soft-boned Japanese went directly to report Toyotomi Hideyoshi to the officials of the [White Heron Guild].

After a while, several officials brought a dozen Japanese servants to the camp where Toyotomi Hideyoshi was.

The Japanese were terrified and trembling all over.

The servant soldiers directly grabbed Toyotomi Hideyoshi, tied them to a wooden stake, and took off Toyotomi Hideyoshi's clothes.

A noble official took out a whip and slapped Toyotomi Hideyoshi hard on the back.

Snapped!
"what!!!--"

Snapped!
"what!--"

Snapped!
"what!--"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was whipped three times in a row and then untied.

"Whoever dares to confuse the public with evil words, this is the end!" The nobleman of the Bailu Guild sneered: "We are civilized Confucian scholars, and we will not do those barbaric things, so we only lash three times as punishment!"

What he said was naturally translated by the Japanese translator Xiaowei.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, whose back was covered in blood, curled up on the ground and wailed. The rest of the Japanese people hated and feared, and no one dared to stand up and resist.

Last time, there were Japanese slaves who wanted to rebel, but they were suppressed by their Japanese compatriots. Later, those Japanese traitors received a lot of rewards, and they lived a good life without working every day. Instead, the rebellious Japanese were squeezed out.

There is such a precedent. The remaining Japanese hope that other Japanese will rebel. If they succeed, they will rebel together and gain freedom. If they fail, they will suppress the rebellious Japanese and get rewards from the officials. personal freedom.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Every Japanese wants to be a oriole, no one wants to be a praying mantis, everyone wants to be a sixth child, no one wants to be a reckless brat, the end result is that no one stands up to resist, and everyone can't unite and twist into one The rope can only be squeezed wantonly by the guild officials.

Sometimes, having too many smart people in a nation or group is not necessarily a good thing.

Everyone is a smart person, everyone wants to hide behind and pick peaches, everyone wants to be a squirrel, but no one wants to be a reckless man, no one wants to be a praying mantis, and finally the squirrels (smart people) are killed by a group of people. Only cicadas are enslaved for a lifetime.

A reckless man also has his value, sometimes more valuable than a smart person.
