Although the attack on Rasho Nara was bad, it did not have much impact on the overall situation.

It can even be said to be insignificant, and the population of Edo Castle is rising every day.

At first, it was rising at a rate of hundreds or thousands of people every day, but now, there are basically four or five thousand people every day.

Most of these increased populations are mainly purchased. I have to say that those big names completely ignore the impact of this over the long term for money.

For Wu Tang, only the printed banknotes were needed, but they were something that Japan's famous names competed for.

But after they got the money, they went to Wu Tang to buy things.

Nowadays, Edo Castle has become an indispensable existence that major Japanese forces hate, but is also an indispensable one.

Because in the past, they rely on robbing supplies.

But now it is different. Weapons, grains, and military uniforms are sold here. Anyway, as long as they have money, they will definitely be able to buy it.

In the eyes of various daimyos, this is a very cost-effective transaction, which is to plunder other people's population and then buy materials with money. This is like picking up for nothing. What they get is much more than they pay.

In their opinion, the governor and mayor of Edo Castle are simply stupid. They buy a large number of civilians, which is a waste of money. They cannot create value equivalent to their own selling price.

So they were also afraid that they didn't know when the Edo Castle city government would go bankrupt, so they took advantage of the fact that they still had money to plunder population resources as much as possible.

Shiina Zhike and Tsuruta had bitter faces. After encountering monsters, the pair of miserable mandarin ducks no longer wanted to stay in that mountain village in the deep mountains.

So I left the village together and planned to go out and explore.

But on the way, they encountered a group of scattered soldiers. When they saw them, their eyes seemed to meet prey, and then they were captured by these scattered soldiers in horror.

But what made them feel strange was that these scattered soldiers did not kill them or rob their property. Of course, they had no property to rob them.

"Captain, where are you going to take us?" Shizuna Zhike and Tsuruta followed these scattered soldiers for three days. During these three days, Shizuna Zhike also knew the names of these dozen scattered soldiers. Their head was Tanikawada Ichiro, but he didn't like others to call him this name.

Whether it is Shiina's congratulations or his subordinates, they either call him the Nakabara name Furukawada, or directly call him Captain.

This group of scattered soldiers looked idle, but they actually had the name of the Central Plains.

"Edo Castle." Furukawada replied.

"We are going to Edo Castle..."

"You go by yourself, but it's different from us taking you there." Furukawada said: "We are human traffickers. If you go by yourself, you won't get any money."

"You are human traffickers? It's different from what I've heard before."

There is nothing strange about any profession in this turbulent land, such as the small mountain village where Shiina Zhike and Tsuruta were originally, and there are still people in the village who are robbers.

In this era, as long as you can support your family, it doesn’t matter any business.

However, most of the time, no matter what business it is, even if it is a robber, it is possible to go hungry.

Because the people are so poor that they have nothing to eat, so what can robbers get?

"Did you fight and kill? Then you raped your wife? Then you were killed as a big man?" Furukawada looked back at Tsuruta walking behind him.

To be honest, Tsuruta's appearance is indeed good. At the beginning, Shiina Zhihe was so worried, but then he found that these people were not guilty of Tsuruta.

And they will not be hungry every day, at least they will give them whatever they eat.

"Uh..." Shiina Zhike wanted to slap himself in the mouth. He almost forgot what they did, but he actually brought up any pot without opening.

"You two are worthwhile to be together. If you kill you or your wife Tsuruda, then the price will drop. We are not stupid. We can't play women. Our purpose is not to start with goods. As long as you are honest, we will send you to Edo Castle safely."

"Captain, tell me, what's the difference between us going to sell us by ourselves and you?"

"If you go there yourself, as long as you find a job in Edo Castle and learn Chinese, you can apply for the status of a Chinese person. But if we sell you past, you must not only meet the above conditions, but also have to work for three years to be eligible to apply for the status of a Chinese person."

"Han people? Can we Japanese people become Han people?"

"This is natural. You don't know how good Edo Castle is. It's simply paradise."

Furukawada and several other scattered soldiers also showed a look of yearning.

"Then Captain, why don't you go to Edo Castle?"

"Of course we have to go, but it's not now. Although the Han people are very good, they are not allowed to do this kind of human trafficking. It is said that it is stipulated by the law of the Wutang. Anyone who sells humans will be severely punished. This trafficking of humans is a good deal to make money. When our brothers make enough money, we will become Han people."

"Captain, how much can we sell for two of us?"

"If you are alone, it will be twenty taels, and you two couples will add up to fifty taels. If you have children, you can get ninety taels of silver."

"Oh my God... fifty taels of silver...we are worth so much money?" Shizuna condored himself, and they were actually worth fifty taels of silver.

What is the concept of fifty taels of silver?

It's a number they can't make in their lifetime... But now these human traffickers can actually sell them to this price, and he really can't believe it.

No wonder they are so nice to them, it turns out that they are so valuable.

"What a pity, I met you two this time. After a few trips, I could get four or five more. Now there are more and more people in this industry, and it is difficult to do business." Furukawada sighed.

"Does the one in my stomach count?" Shizuna asked.

Furukawada suddenly jumped up: "What? Your wife has something in her belly?"

“Uh… there is.”

"Damn it, why didn't you say it earlier! What if we accidentally hurt the child in our stomach? You guys are really."

"Ah... Is the child in his belly also considered money?"

"Of course, it's also a high-quality goods."

"The price list of Japanese people purchased in Edo Castle is divided into five levels, namely fifteen taels, twenty taels, twenty taels, thirty taels and thirty taels. If you are only alone, based on your age and physical fitness, it is only twenty taels of silver. If you are under fifteen years old, both men and women will have twenty taels of silver. If you are under three years old, you can reach the highest thirty-five taels, including pregnant people. For example, your wife Tsuruma, this is not only the child in your wife's belly is worth thirty-five taels, but your family is worth this price."

"Isn't this the older I get, the more valuable it is? Especially at my age, I am young now, or women are the most valuable, why are children more valuable? Children have to eat and wear food and clothing, and it's so strange to spend so much money."

"What do you know? It's so stupid. The Japanese are indeed not as good as the Han people." Furukawada seemed to regard himself as a Han people, and looked at his eyes with a disdainful tone and congratulate him: "Some children have been educated since childhood, so they will be completely loyal to Wu Tang in the future. Just like now, even if you join Wu Tang and become Han people, you will remember your current identity."

"But even so what? The more people, the more you eat and the more you use, what's the use? The most important thing now is to support yourself."

"Shit..." Fukugawada sneered: "You don't know how rich Wu Tang is. We have been to the Central Plains."

"Captain, what is Wu Tang like? I heard people say that Wu Tang is full of gold, isn't it true?"

"There is definitely no gold everywhere, but when you arrive in Edo Castle, look at the appearance of Edo Castle and imagine what the Central Plains is like, which is a hundred times better than Edo Castle. It should be almost the same."

After three days of travel, Furukawada finally brought Shiina Zhika and Tsuruda outside Edo Castle.

When they brought Shiina to Chika and Tsuruta into Edo Castle, they were already attracted by the dazzling bustling street market.

“It’s really great here.”

"Shina, look at that house, it's so tall and so big..."

Although the construction of Edo Castle is not complete, there are already several tall buildings.

"Captain, where are you going to take us?"

"Go to the Municipal Bureau Population Registration Office." Furukawada said.

Along the way, Furukawada and others didn't take much care of them, but after entering the city, he and his people surrounded the two of them, as if they didn't want others to approach them.

After entering a building, Furukawada led them to the population registration office.

When Furukawada faced a woman, he showed extraordinary respect and nodded and smiled at the woman: "Hello, Lord Zhou."

"Futakata, you have been out for more than ten days and brought back a few goods?"

"Mr. Zhou, I'll give you my blessing. I brought a couple. There's a product in my belly."

"Well, are they the two of them?" The woman named Lord Zhou looked at Shiina Zhihe and Tsuruta.

Shiina Zhihe looked at Fukugawada in confusion. In the position of Japanese women, was this woman a lady from a noble family in Wutang? Otherwise, why was Fukugawada so arrogant at first and respectful at the end?

"Please have a pregnancy test and a physical examination, and if there is no problem, you can sign for it."

Furukawada looked full of joy: "Thank you, Lord Zhou."

"Kokugawada, I see that you have been coming and going for more than a dozen times. You should have saved a lot of money, why? You are still unwilling to join Wu Tang?"

"Sir, you're joking. I'm not alone. There are more than a dozen brothers below. I can't just eat all of them. Don't worry about them, do you think so?"

"You are a talented person. Our Wutang welcomes you with such talented person the most. If you are willing to join and serve the court, you will inevitably be valued."

"You said, wait first..." Furukawada smiled apologetically. (To be continued.)
