Chapter 97: The Claws Stretching to District 11
Earn a Saudi salary, live in a British house, use a Swedish mobile phone, wear a Swiss watch, marry a Japanese woman, get a Thai massage, drive a German car, fly on an American plane, drink French red wine, eat Australian seafood, smoke Cuban cigars, wear Italian leather shoes, and play
A Spanish girl watches an Austrian opera, buys a Russian villa, has an Israeli bodyguard, takes a Turkish sauna, and works as a Chinese escort.
This is a very old joke in later generations. Although it is a joke, it also has some truth.
At this time, in order to solve the problem of imbalance between men and women in Xinhua City, Zhao Weiji had set his sights on District 11.
At this time, District 11 should be between the two troubled times of the Heian era.
A society that has experienced a troubled time will always have several similar characteristics, one of which is that there are more women than men, and a large number of members with male surnames have died.
Before any troubled times, there will be several similar characteristics, one of which is that different military camps are accumulating their own strength.
District 11 of this era happened to be between the two biggest troubled times of the Heian period. The Taira Shomon Rebellion and the Fujiwara Juntomo Rebellion had only ended within a few decades, and the struggle for hegemony between the Minamoto and Taira clans was about to begin.
According to Zhao Weiji's conjecture, at this time, the two groups, Yuan and Ping, should not miss any opportunity to enhance their strength. Judging from the consistent attitude of District 11 towards women with surnames, providing these two groups can enhance their strength.
It shouldn't be a problem to exchange their military strength for women. After all, the male-to-female ratio in District 11 has not returned to normal at this time.
So Zhao Weiji specifically kept Wang Dayuan behind after the previous meeting.
"Huanzhang, do you know anything about Japan?"
"Japan? Why did the prince mention it? I have been to Japan in my early years."
"I've been there, it's good that I've been there." Upon hearing that Wang Dayuan had been there, Zhao Weiji grabbed Wang Dayuan's hand, and then looked around with a stern look, "How are Japanese women? Have you ever dealt with them?"
Although he didn't know why Zhao Weiji asked this, Wang Dayuan suddenly became a little excited when he mentioned Japanese women, "Japanese women, how can I describe them? They are gentle, considerate, obedient, and they 'feel' quite good."
Upon hearing Wang Dayuan's description, Zhao Weiji felt that there must be a more explosive inside story, so he decided to test it: "Huan Zhang knows so well, does he have someone he likes in Japan?"
When Zhao Weiji asked Wang Dayuan, he suddenly blushed, "In the early years, there was one called Nadeshiko. I often traveled to Japan at that time, so I got to know her. However, I didn't go there for a year, and when I went there again, she
Already dead of illness."
When he said this, it could be felt from Wang Dayuan's voice that he was still a little sad.
"I'm sorry, Huanzhang, for reminding you of something sad."
"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, many years have passed. But then again, why do you suddenly ask about Japanese women?"
"Aren't we in Xinhua City short of women? Nowadays, it is impossible for the Central Plains to provide Xinhua City with a large number of girls in a short period of time, and it is not easy for these bachelors to go back to the Central Plains to marry. This is not because you said at the meeting that we
We can get some people from the surrounding areas through trade. Then I thought of Japan. Do you think this method of mine is feasible?"
"Of course it is possible. I heard it when I was in Japan. Many men died in the war there in the early years, so there were a lot of women left. Even after the war subsided for many years, there were still more women than men.
What's more, the Japanese samurai group is running rampant now, which is a bit like the Jiedushi of our previous generation. They don't obey anyone, and they all try to kill each other.
So I think no matter if we provide one or several of them with something that will help them grow in strength, it won’t be a problem to get some women from them.”
Wang Dayuan's description of Japan is indeed consistent with Zhao Weiji's impression of the history of District 11, but there is another question that Zhao Weiji must ask clearly: "There is no problem with the Japanese rulers, but are these Japanese women willing to just follow us like this?"
Come and go away to a foreign country."
"This is even more no problem. The status of women in Japan is not very high to begin with, and they are all people who obey orders. In addition, our Song Dynasty men are very popular over there. The women over there will
All the men of the Song Dynasty volunteered themselves." Having said this, Wang Dayuan couldn't help but have a slutty smile on his face.
As soon as he saw his smile, Zhao Weiji knew that what he said was true. Maybe that Nadeshiko had taken the initiative to devote herself to him.
"In that case, then we will go to Japan. But now we are going to two places. Can these two things be done at the same time?"
Wang Dayuan thought about the question raised by Zhao Weiji, and then said: "If it is just a fleet, our Xinhua City's fleet size can certainly handle these two things at the same time, but the problem now is that both aspects may require Wang Ye
You can only do it yourself if you go out personally. I don’t know what your plan is."
As Wang Dayuan said, since both of these matters involve dealing with the local king or leader, it is best for Zhao Weiji to personally go out.
Zhao Weiji thought for a while. Anyway, there is nothing major happening in Xinhua City now. The new law has also been promulgated. Everything is basically on track. If he leaves at this time, he probably won't go to South America like last time and have a lot of problems when he comes back.
Waiting for him.
"Okay, follow the traditional sea route and go to Siam and other countries, right? Let's go to Siam first, then go back to the Central Plains, and finally go to Japan."
In this way, Zhao Weiji's human trafficking plan will be officially implemented.
…
"Wuque, Huateng, and Zhongtang, I'll leave this to you. You just have to make the decision on anything. When we come back from this trip, we can really show off our talents."
After explaining the affairs of Xinhua City, Zhao Weiji boarded the Poseidon and set sail.
In addition to Wang Dayuan, Zhao Weiji was accompanied by Linghuhuang and Yang Hua, who had been a pirate in his early years. Yang Hua himself said that he had been to Siam before, so he wanted to go with him, hoping to be of some help.
But according to Wang Dayuan's private revelation to Zhao Weiji and Linghuhuang, Yang Hua wanted to go to Japan to pick a girl first and strike first.
Regarding Yang Hua's shameless and shameless behavior, Zhao Weiji and Linghuhuang could only say: Haha.
Since they were already very familiar with the route, and sailing along the ocean currents, they did not encounter any strong winds or waves. The fleet reached their first destination of Grofusha, which was later known as Malacca, in just two months.
It is said that money can make all the difference. If you want to ask what is the most indispensable thing in Xinhua City today, it is gold. Xinhua City, which is sitting on the Tianda Gold Mine, now has a considerable amount of gold. And Southeast Asia now has
Most of the countries were influenced by India and believed in Buddhism.
Since we believe in Buddhism, we naturally need to make a gold body for the Buddha statue. The belief in this era is very pious. Since it is a gold body, there must be gold in the paint.
But the gold reserves in Malacca are really not high. The country with the highest gold reserves in Southeast Asia was the Philippines later, but those gold reserves cannot be mined with the technology of this era.
Therefore, Zhao Weiji and others who brought the gold naturally received superior treatment.
"No problem, Your Majesty, the people you want will gather outside the palace in three days."
Now that he has money, everything will be easy to handle. After Zhao Weiji came to the Malacca Palace, he discussed it with the king, and then had a toast, and the matter was settled.
Three days later, these Han people were really gathered outside the palace. After some mobilization by Zhao Weiji, most of them were still willing to go to North America, because they were not living very well here. Since someone could guarantee land there,
If you have a landlord, why not do it? What’s more, the rulers there are also Han Chinese.
Of course, there are also those who don't want to go. Most of these people are doing well here. Since they don't want to give up their existing family business, Zhao Weiji won't force it.
We took those who were willing to go to the next stop.
After almost two months of traveling around Southeast Asia, Zhao Weiji and his team found a population of almost 20,000, which is almost equivalent to the entire existing population of Xinhua City.
Most of the ships took these people back to Xinhua City directly from here.
The few remaining ships then headed north to Huating, because at this time Zhao Weiji planned to take his wife and children to Huating. At the same time, he also needed many Confucian scholars, because these Confucian scholars would be able to help him in Xinhua City
Build a big school.
…
On the night when Zhao Weiji returned to Huating, he was in the palace of Prince Wuyue.
"You still know how to come back. It's been more than two years. Didn't you say you were very fast at the beginning? This is how fast you are? During this period, you can come back even once to see our wives."
As expected, when Zhao Weiji returned home, what greeted him was not a warm hug or a passionate kiss, but a scolding from Chai Yu.
Chai Yu scolded Chai Yu here, and Li Nian didn't help him out. He just held his little daughter and cried there. Zhao Weiji's eldest daughter and son stood behind Chai Yu with a look of contempt and sympathy.
Look at this unfortunate father.
In fact, these are all foreseeable for Zhao Weiji. Zhao Weiji, who knew that he deserved it, did not dare to say anything, but one thing still hit him hard, that is, his little daughter did not know him at all. At this moment, the little daughter
Looking at him is like looking at a stranger.
Chai Yu scolded Zhao Weiji for twenty minutes, and then he took a sip of water and his attitude became slightly better, "Tell me what you are doing when you come back this time. Are you going to pick up our ladies?"
"That's natural. I came back this time specifically to pick up a few of you." At this time, Zhao Weiji did not dare to say that he was picking up people for the purpose of human trafficking.
"That's it?" Chai Yu didn't believe it would be that simple. He knew Zhao Weiji too well. He was a guy who couldn't afford to be early without any benefit.
"Of course, there are a few other little things."
