What is even more eye-catching is the escort team.

The costumes of the Great Wei imperial guards and the wing army were different, but they were basically inherited from the Tang army, including robes, headscarves, trousers or hats, wide-mouthed trousers, erect shoes, or straw sandals.

When the Wei army's navy still had its strength, there were also naval officers and soldiers who came to Japan, but their outfits were completely different from those of the Nan'an Prefecture Army.

The navy officers and soldiers wore blue arrow jackets, waistbands, short robes, leather boots, copper nails on the cuffs and chest, and a nameplate on the front chest, indicating the identity of the soldier and other information. If a soldier dies in battle, take off the nameplate and put it on the death list to facilitate record and provide pensions to their families.

There are already military rank marks on the shoulders, and the Wei army also has a simple identification system, so the soldiers of the palace are not unfamiliar with military rank marks, but Xu Zixian's design is a little more complicated.

Those who have not completed all recruit training in the army and have no military rank standards, are completely recruits.

Those who complete the training in the army have a copper nail on their shoulders, which is a private.

Private who has been enlisted for one year.

A private who has been enlisted for more than one year and has participated in actual combat.

In fact, many of the first-class privateers are deputy team officials, and the team officials are at the level.

The deputy team officer is the same as the first rank, and the team officer has a bronze star, and the deputy sentry officer is also a bronze star, the sentry officer, the deputy head, two bronze stars, the head, and three bronze stars.

The command of the camp is a silver star, and the command of the military is two silver stars, which is also the highest rank of the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion Army.

From the third-class private to the first-class private, then the team official level, the sentry official level, the battalion official level, and finally the military general level.

Xu Zixian did not intend to use lieutenant and school to take these levels. After all, the team level is from the official level to the official level of the battalion level, and the positions and levels are clearly visible at a glance, and there is no need to start a new system.

The established regular army, even if there is only one team, has a great impact. When Chen Daojian and Zhang Bofu entered the house on the roadside, the entire team dispersed to guard it. When the pedestrians on the roadside passed by, they still couldn't help but look at these elite soldiers.

After Chen Daojian entered the house, he realized that this was a He-style house. There was a place to take off his shoes when entering the door, and then stepped onto the wooden board to be considered as having actually entered the house.

Zhang Bofu said: "When we built this yard, we mainly wanted to see a large area of ​​open space around us. When the Marquis' Mansion allocated funds, we would hire locals to dig stones, build exterior walls, arrow towers, and warehouses. In the future, bulk cargo will come in. It is impossible to wait on the cargo ship all the time. Unload the goods first and store them in the warehouse here, and ship them slowly. You can be more relaxed."

Chen Daojian said: "I have already had this method for merchants on Fujian Road. I know that Lan Fangguo has come out like this."

In the early days of Dawei's foreign trade, there were also overseas immigrants, but not many people.

Later, Wei merchants gradually discovered that every time they were anxious to take off all the goods on the ship, it was easy to be suppressed by local indigenous people and traders, so that the profits would be divided.

So many merchants from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou were divided into two teams, one of which was stationed abroad, hired local people as partners, and built store shipments for the store. After a long time, they stayed there for decades and had a lot of money in the local area. There was no way to come back.

In the early years, many Zhangzhou and Quanzhou merchants had to ask someone to bring the coffin back even if they died abroad. This was an obsession. After decades and hundreds of years, their descendants gradually settled outside and built ancestral halls, so they really became overseas wanderers and could no longer return.

Even the number of people gradually increased, and because of the strong capital, they controlled the political and military power and established their own country.

In the Indonesian Archipelago and the Malay Peninsula, Chinese people have successively gained their footholds, mastered the local economic lifeline, expanded their connections, and bred the population, and gradually embarked on the road to building a country alone.

If the Europeans had not come to this island one after another and conquered the local area with more advanced commercial behaviors, capital, and powerful force, the Chinese would have mastered these places one after another, without exception.

"Mr. Chen is right..." Zhang Bofu smiled and said, "This room is used to talk to local businessmen and officials, so we have followed the customs. After building such a room, there is no chair, so everyone can only sit cross-legged and talk about things."

Chen Daojian smiled and said, "This was learned by the Japanese and our Tang Dynasty. In the late Tang Dynasty, our Han talents popularized Hu bed chairs, and gradually changed from cross-legged to sitting on chairs to discuss things."

"We have to keep pace with the times." Zhang Bofu sighed: "The Japanese are really stubborn."

"It's good to do this." Chen Daojian didn't care. He had already prepared before coming here.

This room is also very good. When you come in from the outside, you will enter a small space. It is very clean and forms a sharp contrast with the crowded and messy port.

There were flowers inside, incense burners were smoked, the house was full of fragrance, the clean log floor was emitting fragrance, and some Chinese characters and Chinese paintings were hung on the walls. Chen Daojian also knew that although the Japanese were quite arrogant, they also had a special liking for Chinese studies and calligraphy and paintings of the Han people.

Just like tea, Go, fragrance, and flower arrangement, these things formed a tradition in the upper class of the Japanese and were regarded as symbols of elegance and connotation.

Before coming to Japan, Chen Daojian also learned some poems made by the Japanese. Those sentences are indeed some fine and look quite good, but Chen Daojian felt that the Japanese were pessimistic in their bones, and everything eventually turned into a tragic result. It seemed that they all looked a little despised in their bones, either indifferent, or felt that death was the final result.

This makes most of the Japanese sentences lonely and indifferent, giving people a feeling of sadness and a faint indifference to death.

After all, this is an island country. They have a self-esteem, a low self-esteem and a lonely side. When making a sentence, they are probably sensitive, lonely, and have no confidence. They feel that the entire island and themselves may be overturned at any time.

Chen Daojian hopes that they can have more pragmatic side. In fact, Japan is now doing well and has developed business. This is part of Feiqian Country. It is a part of the six countries including Gongqian Country. It is a territory of the Daei clan, which is located in the Daei clan. It has many seaports and developed business and tourism. In terms of grain income, it is not outstanding among many Daei clans in Japan with a bonus of over one million stones. However, due to the bonus of overseas trade, the wealth is not under the important towns such as Kyoto.

From what Chen Daojian saw after he came to the island, many Japanese people looked very good on the surface, very polite, and seemed a little proud and reserved in their bones.

This is not surprising. In the early days of China, the Queen of Japan was given seals to the Han Dynasty, but a solid vassal system was never established. For the situation where all the small countries around China surrendered, the strength and self-esteem of the Japanese were evident. Even though they accepted everything about China during the Tang Dynasty, their country was never truly integrated into the tribute system.

This is completely different from that of North Korea, Annan and other countries.

"Please wait a moment, sir." Zhang Bofu asked someone to serve tea, and then said, "I have already asked someone to inform the important officials of the Ouchi clan."

"This clan seems to have a long history in Japan. Is it a noble clan?"

"Well." Zhang Bofu said: "It has been mentioned from the Japanese written records that this family has been around for hundreds of years. They claim to be princes in a certain mythical period. They are not from the origin or the Hyoki of Japan, and they are not considered real Chinese, so they cannot be the general. However, at its peak, they also formed the shogunate and controlled the major policies. Now Ashikaga Yoshimi is the general and is in charge of the shogunate. However, the Ouchi clan still has the Nagasaki port, which is prosperous in trade and wealthy, and has a large number of full-time samurai under his command. This is a trivial matter. The important thing is that Yasuki supports the Ouchi clan behind his back, so the general relies heavily on this daimyo, and what attitude is adopted is basically determined by the Ouchi clan's attitude."

Zhang Bofu said enthusiastically: "For our Great Wei, the Japanese people have always been in a friendly manner. When we established the capital of Jiangling, the Japanese sent several more groups of envoys to send Wei, and later moved the capital to the capital, and their envoys were fewer. Even so, they learned a lot of clothing styles, including accents. Over the past two hundred years, the Japanese voices were very similar to our Wu voice, but I think this was just a superficial closeness. The Japanese people were very proud. In recent years, our Great Wei values ​​the north and did not value the navy. The Japanese people thought that the Great Wei had declined, and even our attitudes changed a lot. Recently, there have been many people from Tianfang who have been expanding in Mantas and Sanfoqi. Many of the Japanese nobles have been studying the Tianfang Sect recently, and they have many resistances, but they are not as full of contempt as they mentioned before. Therefore, Lord Chen had to observe these changes."

Chen Daojian nodded silently. He was still tired, sore, empty abdomen, and soreness in his stomach, but these things were his work. Zhang Bofu had brought him a large number of documents to check.

There are many people in this office, with dozens of personnel. Obviously, it is impossible that all of them are officials and businessmen. Among them, there will be people from the Military Intelligence Department collecting information here.

Chen Daojian was not biased against the Military Information Department and even admired the work of these people. However, when the thick file was brought over, he saw the information about the Emperor, the ministers, generals, the shogunate, the shogunate, the old men and the samurai, and Daemini everywhere, Chen Daojian still felt a severe headache.

"Prepare more strong tea." After kneeling for a while, Chen Daojian finally chose to lean on the wall to continue reading, and at the same time ordered to prepare more strong tea. He was trapped in the file at the first time when he arrived in Japan, and he didn't even have time to see more Feng Shui scenery. This is incredible to many ordinary people, but it is normal for Chen Daojian, because he was with Xu Zixian for many days. He knew that this is how Nan'an Hou handled things. He first understood the information, customs and customs, and even the characteristics and style of the rulers. After understanding enough, he then considered how to start doing what he was doing. Finally, he peeled off the truth and persistence little by little like peeling bamboo shoots, and finally he could achieve his goals and goals.

The goal this time is to sign a commercial agreement with the One clan. The Nan'an Marquis Mansion will give the other party certain benefits. The other party will provide commercial information assistance to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, provide cooperation guarantees for local Japanese merchants, and ensure the safety of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion merchant ships here.

If the cooperation with Ouchi is successful, it will be like completely opening up the Japanese market, which is the most difficult and most troublesome way.

If you only gain a foothold here through free trade and gradually open up the market, it is likely to take longer, more energy and money.

There are also many unpredictable repetitions.

This era was at the beginning of the Age of Discovery. The sea was not only filled with pirates, but also filled with unpredictable variables among the countries that traded.

Just like the Dutch once drove away the Spaniards in Japan and then broke off trade in Japan for nearly a hundred years, but as soon as the shogunate decided to close the country, the Dutch were driven away without mercy, and even filled with blood and violence in the process.

This era is not an era where at least international trade norms and rules are at the same time. Power is everything. Commercial activities are inevitably affected by the change of power and the will of the ruler. Xu Zixian saw this very clearly.

Chen Daojian came for this goal. He was only over 17 years old and passed the exam for the scholar. He was very confident that he would pass the exam for the Juren and was also very likely to pass the Jinshi.

If it weren't for the poor family that he wanted to support his grandmother and applied for an official, his life trajectory was that he would pass the exam now, and then go to the capital to take the exam next year. If he passed the Jinshi, he would determine his future based on his subject ranking. It is very likely that at the age of forty, he would become a member of a member of the ordinary bureaucrats in the Wei Dynasty, but he would also have no great prospects in his life and become a member of the ordinary bureaucrats of the Wei Dynasty.

Now as a Japanese country, he is preparing for the early preparations for the trade expansion of Nan'an Hou Mansion in Japan. Chen Daojian is ready. It doesn't make him feel difficult and even excited to do such things at this age.
