Chapter 1210 Purebred turtle
Marin's actions to plunder Wagyu cattle were very smooth. He found that the Japanese farmers of this era were very honest and were robbed of cattle by Marin's soldiers and almost did not dare to resist.
At most, because cattle are the most important property of farmers, they are reluctant to let go. Since they dare not resist, these timid Japanese farmers simply hug the cow's legs and refuse to let go, and then cried desperately... After all, losing the plowing ox is no less than the sky falling for farmers' families.
Marin has always been a soft-hearted person who is not hard-working. If these Japanese farmers resist violently, he might have suppressed him bloodily. However, facing the pitiful Japanese farmers who cried, Marin was a little unable to do anything...
Moreover, because of his short stature, when these Japanese farmers, who were generally over 1.5 meters tall, cried desperately while holding the cow's thigh, Malin actually felt that he had "bullied minors by himself"...
This illusion made Marin very uncomfortable. He always felt that he was an unforgivable evil person. So the soft-hearted Marin decided to give some compensation...
In fact, Marin also considered that he would colonize Japan in the future and could not ruin his reputation and leave a bad reputation.
But how to compensate these small Japanese farmers? If you give the money, Marin is not very happy. Because his money is basically spent in the Ming Dynasty and there is not much in his hands. Moreover, thinking about the actions of the descendants of these Japanese devils, Marin does not want to make too much compensation.
Then, while thinking, Marin took a sip of water and saw the glass where he was drinking...
"Okay, just use this to compensate..."
So, every time he grabbed a wagyu, Marin would throw a glass of water to compensate. If his glass was not enough, he would use the sailor's glass of water.
Then, Marin asked Liver to tell them that these glasses were precious and were enough to compensate their cattle for their losses...
In fact, Marin did not lie. Because the transparent glass cup produced in Beihai Country is indeed a treasure in the East, also known as glazed glass. A glazed glass was definitely not a problem in ancient China and Japan, selling dozens of taels of silver, and it was much more expensive than plowing oxen.
But Marin and the sailors could not drink water without cups. Then, Marin and the sailors who lost the glass had to use some ordinary porcelain cups and porcelain bowls from the families whose cattle were stolen as containers for drinking water... These families with cattle are actually middle-class in rural Japan, and poor families have no cows at all. Therefore, there must be porcelain at home...
These porcelain cups and porcelain bowls made of celadon or white porcelain are not precious in the East Asian and Chinese civilization circle. Each piece is usually only a few cents, and at most a dozen cents.
However, the sailors who grabbed these porcelain cups and porcelain bowls regarded them as treasures and couldn't let go of them...
This is the difference between the East and West worlds - porcelain is not unusual in the East, but it is a treasure in Europe; similarly, glass is not rare in Europe, but it is a treasure in East Asia...
Then, a strange win-win situation emerged - after the Japanese farmer who was robbed of the plowing ox, he sold the glass cup where Malin and others drank water, not only did he recover the losses, but he bought the plowing ox, but he still had a lot of them left.
The sailors who lost the glass water cup and had to steal the porcelain cups from the Japanese farmers' homes also made money. These "breaking" porcelain, even ordinary celadon or white porcelain, can be exchanged for gold coins when brought back to Europe, and you can buy many glass cups...
Of course, Malin didn't care about the value of these porcelains. Because he had arranged for Zhang Cai to send someone to Jingdezhen to hire a master of porcelain from the official kiln to go home to take care of his old age.
These masters of official kiln porcelain who returned home to retire were all very skilled, equivalent to the eighth-level or seventh-level workers who retired in China in later generations. Their descendants replaced them to work in the official kiln, and they were idle.
But Marin knew how powerful these old guys were. In later generations, many factories were willing to rehire retired eighth-level workers because their skills were all the best.
After Ma Lin planned to find the Yingge porcelain clay area west of the Taipei Basin, he would dig a group of top retired official kiln porcelain masters from Jingdezhen and other places, and then dig a group of young and strong craftsmen from the folk kilns, and then ask the top porcelain masters to guide the young and strong craftsmen from the folk kilns to make ceramics in the Yingge area. Blue and white porcelain is the most basic operation, and bone porcelain is also necessary in the future. Once successful, the Yingge area will continuously provide a large number of exquisite high-end ceramics for the Beihai Country...
Therefore, Marin really looked down on the ordinary celadon and white porcelain in Japan. However, others regarded it as treasures. It is said that in the late Ming Dynasty, the Dutch had to import a large number of ordinary inferior celadon and white porcelain products without colored glaze from Japan and Vietnam, pretending to be Chinese porcelain, and transporting them back to Europe for a high price...
...
The fact that Marin snatched oxen in the Matsusaka area of Ise and Kobe in the Koma country finally alarmed the local daime. However, those daime had no choice. The two families sent dozens of samurai to fight with hundreds of feet, but they were defeated by Kahn and others sent by Malin. After all, those katana swords could not cut the plate armor worn by Kahn and others, while Kahn and others could easily hurt the samurai.
Marin had no good feelings for those vicious warriors. In the future, those who acted as Japanese pirates and later generations who brutally invaded China were basically these warriors.
So, Marin told Kahn not to stop and acted ruthlessly when he saw those warriors...
Then, the warriors who came to fight were either killed by maces or seriously injured and disabled, and none of them were left behind. And the two daimyos of Ise and Homoma were so scared that they dared not send troops to die again...
Seeing that no one was coming to make trouble, Marin began to pick and carefully select strong and healthy Wagyu.
However, there are restrictions on cargo capacity of Marin's ships. Moreover, it is very troublesome to transport cattle and horses on ships, and special barriers are required. After Marin brought horses to the Ming Dynasty and gave all the war horses to the Ming Dynasty, there were only 100 barrier rooms left, which were just for closing cattle.
Therefore, Marin eventually took away only the healthiest 100 Wagyu cattle. Of these, 70 were bulls and only 30 were cows.
In this way, Marin's plan was to use those 30 cows to continue breeding purebred Wagyu cattle in the future. The 70 bulls had a heavier task because Marin would arrange for them to breed thousands of Crimean cows to obtain mixed-race Wagyu cattle...
Marin remembers that later Australians seemed to use the essence of Wagyu beef and mixed with their female Angus beef, which is also the world's top beef. However, it is said that Australian Wagyu beef is very perverted. They actually let cows drink red wine, and they also need to massage frequently, serving the cows like the second uncle...
Of course, Marin would not take such an extreme method to serve beef cattle, and people in this era were not as stingy as later generations. People in this era could even eat dark food like shit, and would not care too much about the quality of beef. After all, it would be good to be able to eat beef. In fact, only nobles can eat beef.
