A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 474 Enfeoffment of Fusang, Japanese Cows and Horses
  In Daqian, those who excel in flood control have a high chance of becoming prime minister. This is a tradition inherited from the Huai Kingdom period.

Water control is not just about controlling water, but also coordinating the relationship between various departments and directing the work of more than [-] people. Each one that can be successfully completed has experienced various tests and is fully qualified to assume the position of prime minister.

The imperial court promoted soil and water conservation not only in the Loess Plateau region, but also in the Western Regions. The environment in the Western Regions is more likely to be destroyed, so after the countries in the Western Regions stabilized, they also began to protect plants, prohibit felling trees, and promote the use of coal.

Now many countries in the Western Region have learned from Liang and Wei and used coal and briquettes, and the felling of trees has been significantly reduced.

As for whether the countries in the Western Regions will disappear due to environmental changes in the future, it is unknown.

Fuso.

The three thousand dry navy troops had just defeated a large army. The Japanese people scattered all over the mountains and plains and fled in all directions. Wang Yun led his army to chase these defeated troops and captured Kyoto.

During this period, the Japanese had very few weapons and even bronzes, so they were no match for the elite Daqian. In the past few years, with the full support of the royal family, the strength of Wang Yun's navy has increased rapidly, and now it has expanded to [-]. After allocating ports to various places, it took three years to successfully occupy the southern part of Fuso Island.

At this time, the Japanese did not form a complete country, but split into many small countries. Wang Yun defeated these Japanese easily.

Because of the limited strength of the navy, Wang Yun did not occupy a large area of ​​land in Fusang, but only occupied the southern seaside area. After completing the occupation, Wang Yun immediately took out a map and sent people to search for the location marked on the map.

The Iwami Silver Mine is not too far from the sea. This silver mine is a huge rich mine, it can even be said to be a silver mountain.

In real history, at the peak of mining at Iwami Ginzan, two hundred tons of silver could be mined a year, which is four million taels of silver. It can be said that except for the Nanyang Silver Mine, the combined output of all silver mines in Daqian cannot match it.

What is even more surprising is that this silver mine has been mined for four hundred years. Such a long mining cycle is extremely rare in the world.

Daqian now has no shortage of goods, trade is prosperous, the world is at peace, and the economy is extremely active. The imperial court has been minting silver coins over the years, but there are still not enough.

Nowadays, let alone Luoyang, the capital of the gods, any one of the five capitals can pay millions of imperial silver coins in taxes a year. The taxes of so many states and counties are as low as hundreds of thousands of coins, but as high as millions of imperial silver coins.

Even though the imperial court received two-thirds of the money in kind, it was difficult to exchange the remaining one-third for silver coins, and most of them were copper coins.

The imperial silver coins were never enough, even when the imperial court opened the Nanyang Banking Supervision Bureau.

There were countless supplies of rice, cloth, ironware, sugar, and salt, but there was not enough money, so large-scale transactions involved contract sales.

To put it simply, contract sales are to set a minimum trading unit for materials, then locate one hundred trading units, write the contract and price, and then use this contract to trade with other people. This kind of transaction is troublesome and must have a strong enough guarantor guarantee. It is very inconvenient for business transactions, but it has to be done.

The prospectors sent from the Central Plains immediately set off after receiving the order, and there were [-] soldiers accompanying them to protect their safety. Wang Yun also sent people to find several local guides to follow them Go together. Wang Yun sent them after he personally practiced it for these people.

After arranging for the ore prospectors, Wang Yun held a banquet in the city. Asahi City, this is the name Wang Yun changed. As for the original name, no one cares at all.

Asahi City is so small that it would be at most a county town in the Central Plains, but here in Fuso it is already considered a big city.

Wang Yun was sitting in the lobby, surrounded by naval generals and some officials. If he wanted to rule Fusang, Wang Yun could only use officials from Daqian. However, those officials were studying hard, so how many of them were willing to come thousands of miles away to serve as officials? So I can only try my best to win over some people.

Wang Yun gave a slight signal, and immediately a group of women in gorgeous clothes filed in. These women were the daughters of nobles among the Japanese. In order to win over these generals and officials, Wang Yun specially selected the beautiful women and trained them in etiquette before taking them out to give away.

Apart from being a little smaller in stature, these women are also beautiful.

This time, by capturing the southern part of Fuso Island, Wang Yun collected a large number of women, all of whom were precious reproductive resources. It is difficult to immigrate here from the Central Plains. If you want to rule for a long time, you can only make a name for yourself.

Wang Yun has ordered that the beautiful Japanese women be selected from these and trained and educated, and then these women will be rewarded to his warriors as wives and concubines. At that time, these people will be the basis for Daqian's rule here.

As for whether these Japanese women are willing or not, it is not their turn to choose. As the victor's spoils, they can only accept their fate. You must know that in Fuso of this era, women were almost completely accessories to men and had little status. Moreover, the Japanese were still in the city-state slavery system during this period.

There is no etiquette, justice or shame, and he is extremely envious of power. It is common for women to be robbed and snatched away. Facing the warriors of Daqian, all of them are very obedient.

"Gentlemen, these beauties have been carefully selected by King Gu. Choose whichever one you like. They are rewards given to you by King Gu. You will not come home until you are drunk today!"

Hearing what Wang Yun said, everyone's eyes immediately brightened, and they all bowed to Wang Yun and said loudly: "I have been waiting for the support of the king to get here, and today I have been favored by the king and rewarded generously. I am willing to guard the fence for the king!"

Wang Yun laughed loudly and let everyone do as they pleased.

Wang Yun was entertaining the heroes, while the soldiers below were also selecting their wealth. Daqian military regulations are strict, and even when fighting in Fusang, looting is still not allowed. The property and fields of the Japanese nobles in the city have been compiled into books for the army sergeants to choose from. Those Japanese are like cattle and horses waiting to be selected.

The navy soldiers who have made great achievements this time can choose the manor and land, and those Japanese are their slaves. If these slaves are selected, they can keep their families. If there are no candidates, they will be sent to various places as serfs. .

Xu Sanyang proudly wore a red robe and prepared to pick out the trophies. This time he took the lead, killing thirteen people in a row and beheading the flag bearer. It could be said that he was beheading the general and seizing the flag. He and his five comrades killed [-] people. The Japanese have great achievements, so they can wear red robes and choose trophies.

If you are willing to stay in Fuso, you will be considered a county baron in the future. If you achieve some military exploits in the future, it is not impossible to become an earl. After all, Fuso Island is quite big.
