Chapter 505: The Undeserved Wave
After everyone reached a consensus, Zhang Xin asked someone to invite Zhang Sanfeng.
The three of them chatted for a while while waiting for someone. Zhu Zhanji mentioned that the Imperial College was expanding its enrollment, and Zhang Xin remembered another thing:
"How's things going in Japan?"
"My great uncle said that he thought the island where the hollowed-out place was located and the surrounding mountains might have silver mines. I took people to take a look around, and the old man said that there were indeed a lot of them, and they might be everywhere in Japan. Later, someone on our ship disappeared near Kyoto. Grandpa was furious, so he took them down."
Zhu Zhanji touched his nose and told Zhang Xin the process and results a little embarrassedly.
"Your team? Were there many casualties? I heard that some of the Japanese ronin are quite capable."
Zhang Xin had no objection to how to fight Japan, and she didn't care what excuses were made. She was only worried about the soldiers in the army.
"He is indeed a wasteful man, but he deserves the reputation of being a wasteful man. I didn't beat out his shit, so I think he did it cleanly. If it weren't for the silver mine, I really wouldn't want that disgusting place like Japan."
Zhu Zhanji was very disdainful.
He had been to Japan before, and Li Jinglong also talked about many things about Japan.
But when he actually conquered Japan, he found that the things the people there did were so disgusting that he couldn't eat.
"Don't mention it."
Tang Sai'er also looked awkward.
This made Zhang Xin a little curious, so she urged Zhu Zhanji to give an example.
"No matter the Japanese people or the self-proclaimed nobles, they all have the custom of climbing at night."
Zhu Zhanji knew that Zhang Xin was not so pedantic. After holding Tang Sai'er's hand to comfort her, he told Zhang Xin seriously about his experiences in Japan.
The Japanese custom of night crawling, as the name suggests, is crawling at night.
At first glance, I thought it was some kind of special hobby.
To expand on this, it actually becomes about who is crawling at night, where they are crawling, and what they are doing.
In the early years of Japan, there was no such thing as intermarriage between two families, and night crawling was a unique way for them to reproduce the next generation.
To be more specific, as long as a Japanese man wants, he can crawl into any woman's residence at night, and as long as there are no other men present, he can ask to sleep with the woman. If there are several men crawling at night at the same time, who gets to stay is decided by drawing lots among the men.
Once a woman becomes pregnant, she will be raised by her village or the man she regularly goes to for night crawls with.
It was not until the Tang Dynasty that Japan sent envoys to learn about Tang culture, and only then did the institution of marriage come into being in Japan.
Japanese women began to have stable husband's families.
However, due to frequent wars in the country and a sharp decline in population, adult males have become a rarity in Japan.
Marriage between Japanese men and women also began to become meaningless.
Whether married or not, men will look for opportunities to have sex at night.
No matter whether a woman is single, married, or widowed, as long as she is willing, any man can become her lover.
In order to encourage everyone to reproduce and increase the population, the shogunate also provided strong support for this matter.
Once a woman successfully becomes pregnant, she gives birth to a child.
Those who are not married will be raised by the village.
If a woman has a husband's family, she will be raised by him.
This sounds fair on the surface, as everyone is willing to give birth to the child, and no one cares who the father is.
But in fact, whether the woman is willing or not is not considered by men at all, and there are many cases of men using force if she does not agree.
There are some women with outstanding looks. If they have no one to protect them, at night, men who want to have sex with them will line up outside to wait for them.
