If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 284 The Japanese sacrifice their daughters
As the interpreter of His Highness Prince Zheng of the Ming Dynasty in Kyushu, Yamashita is living a very comfortable and happy life now.

Originally a member of the samurai family of the annihilated Ouchi family, the power of the Yamashita family was lost in the battle between the Ouchi family and His Highness Prince Zheng. Yamashita himself must also come out as the dignified head of the family to support the family's livelihood. Find a way out.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to know Mingguo and become the interpreter established by Prince Zheng's Mansion, which would have given him an official position, he might have had to think about where to beg for food, or simply find a place to carry forward the traditional culture of the Japanese country. I stabbed myself.

However, now, he is a "distinguished" interpreter. He may not be regarded as a direct subordinate of the palace, but he can also be regarded as a member of the palace of Prince Zheng.

Compared with those rural leaders and village chiefs, his status is much higher.

Even though Zhu Zhanquan entrusted a large amount of land to his sergeants, there were many people from the Ming Dynasty in the countryside. They were all the family members of Qingyu Guard officers or soldiers, which made it impossible for the people under the mountain to show their prestige. A lot of work.

After all, whether they are the Qingyu Wei family members from the Ming Dynasty or the local rural people in Kyushu, it is unlikely that they can master such an advanced skill in a foreign language.

Although some of them have begun to learn to speak Chinese, and some have learned to speak Japanese, in general, translators like Yamashita are still needed as translators.

But overall, Yamashita's life was fulfilling and satisfying. Relying on the good relationship with the Jade Guard officers, the Yamashita family was able to keep their ancestral land. This suddenly made Yamashita no longer worry about reviving the family. heavy burden.

In addition, although Zhu Zhanjun did not look down on the Japanese, he did not discriminate against them or think that they were inferior. He also gave the Japanese who worked for him the same fair treatment as the common people of the Ming Dynasty, and treated them equally in terms of salary and salary.

Therefore, the annual salary that an interpreter like Yamashita can receive is actually very considerable. Coupled with the output of Yamashita's own family fiefdom, it is enough for him and his family to live a very prosperous life.

After all, Zhu Zhanquan was not a prince who liked to impose excessive taxes, and he did not continuously exploit his fiefdom. Instead, he cultivated and lived with the people, and the taxes he collected were only in accordance with the standards of the Ming Dynasty law.

So whether it was a samurai family like Yamashita, ordinary Japanese people, or immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, everyone lived a life of hope and success.

This undoubtedly made the Japanese who worked for Zhu Zhankun like Yamashita fully feel the benevolence of His Highness Prince Zheng. While they were willing to die for him, they also eagerly hoped to do something for His Highness Prince Zheng.

After learning that His Highness Prince Zheng's mother and his newly married princess were staying at the hot spring villa, Yamashita directly selected a collateral sister from his own family and sent it to the hot spring villa. Frankly speaking, he was sending someone to serve the princess and the princess. The mother of His Highness King Zheng.

There were many others who did the same thing as Yamashita. As long as the family could find a girl of the right age, these Japanese people under Zhu Zhanqu's command all picked people from their own families and sent them over. This suddenly made Zhang and the two concubines confused. got up.

They didn't quite understand why the Japanese sent so many women at once, especially since at first glance they were basically well-educated women from good families.

"Zhang Changshi, please ask clearly, what are they doing by sending so many girls here?" In the annex, Mrs. Zhang asked the Changshi of the palace.

Although Zhang's status and knowledge were extraordinary, this kind of Western view could not be seen in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, no matter how much the people loved the monarch, they never gave their daughters to the monarch on such a large scale.

Mrs. Zhang guessed that these Japanese people might have seen Zhu Zhankun take a concubine, and wanted Japanese women to have a place in Zhu Zhankun's harem.However, when Zhang Changshi started to explain, Zhang realized that his understanding was really wrong.

"Reporting to the empress, these Japanese girls were sent by the Japanese to serve the empress and several princesses." Although Zhang Changshi has never seen such a scene, he has been in the Japanese country for a long time and he has a lot of respect for the Japanese. I am somewhat familiar with some of the ways of doing things, so I am not that incomprehensible about this large-scale gifting of my daughter.

After all, these Japanese would really commit suicide because of something they didn't do well. He had already seen this when dealing with fiefdom affairs these days.

He really felt that he would be stabbed if he neglected his duty, which really shocked Zhang Changshi.

In particular, other Japanese people not only didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but actually praised this behavior as "loyalty."

Zhang Changshi really didn't understand this, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he was shocked by how loyal the Japanese were. He felt that they had an ancient custom of Confucius saying Cheng Ren and Mencius saying righteousness.

Therefore, it is understandable that these Japanese people would send their own female relatives just to be the current servants of the royal family.

But Zhang Changshi could understand it, but Zhang couldn't quite understand it. After all, you really couldn't see this kind of scenery in the Ming Dynasty.

However, Mrs. Zhang was also happy that Zhu Zhanquan was able to win over the loyalty of so many subordinates. Later, she felt a little worried about how to deal with this matter, so she asked Zhang Changshi: "What should we do about this matter?" Dealing with it? When I came from Ming Dynasty, I already had enough maids to serve me, so I don’t need extra people to serve me.

As for Qinglin and Lan Qier, the palace has also arranged enough maids to serve them. "

Zhang didn't say what she meant explicitly, but she expressed euphemistically that she didn't need anyone to serve her.

As the princess in charge of the harem, Zhang clearly knew that according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to casually add people to serve her.

The maids in the palace are all clean-blooded. After verification and investigation, they have to receive strict education in the palace and learn various court etiquette. Only after they understand the rules can they be arranged to serve the nobles.

Therefore, even if these Japanese women were really dedicated to boxing, Zhang would not be able to let them serve him and Zhu Zhanyu's concubines all at once.

However, after Zhang Changshi listened to Zhang's words, he hesitated for a moment, and then replied to Zhang: "If it is not necessary, it is better not to refuse."

"Oh? Why?" Mrs. Zhang suddenly became curious. She believed that Zhang Changshi knew the rules, so there must be a reason for what he said.

"Your Majesty, the customs of the Japanese are different from those of Ming Dynasty, and their people..." Zhang Changshi explained to Zhang what he knew about the character of the Japanese, and explained why he persuaded Zhang not to refuse.

　Sorry, I've been feeling very uncomfortable these past two days, and the update is a bit too hip-y, so I'm sorry.
