Although John now looked like a foreigner, the people inside seemed not to be surprised and did not watch, because he could see one or two foreigners with blond hair, blue eyes or red hair and green eyes occasionally appearing on the street.
This was more in line with his inner impression of the world called Naruto.
I remember that the history and culture of that world were very confusing. It looked like the ancient shogunate or the Warring States Period, but there were technological products such as telephones, cameras, and even computers. Although the majority were yellow people, there were also black and white people.
few.
John sat patiently in the wine shop until the pot of light wine was finished. There was some left over from the stacks of side dishes. It was not that he wasted it, but that these side dishes were really not to his liking.
Only a small amount of oil was used to fry the fish, and it was dried salted fish. The kelp was not fresh kelp but dried and soaked in the sun. It only used simple salt for seasoning, not even onion, ginger, and garlic. It didn't reflect the taste.
The seafood is fresh, but has a salty smell. The only thing that is barely noticeable is the pickled radish, but it doesn't have the flavor of the rich seasonings of later generations. It is better than crispy.
As he observed and eavesdropped, John's face gradually became serious.
First of all, he discovered that although these local people were not surprised by an outsider like him, they did not have the impression of being groveling to foreigners during the late Tokugawa period. Instead, they were very proud to call them Westerners.
This shows that the local people during this period had a strong sense of national pride.
But for some people who occasionally appear in Hanfu and are over 170cm tall, they have a very low attitude and show enough respect.
These people are obviously more in line with John's impression of the ancient Chinese people.
When he heard the names Tang Kingdom, Shogunate, Luoyang, etc., he realized that this might not be Naruto's world.
Because these two titles are only found in island countries. Although the title shogunate originated in China, it originally referred to the ancient general's office (so called because the army went on expeditions and used tents). It also refers to the general who planned the curtain. Later generations will place the general.
The office of the military and political officials is called the shogunate. But it only refers to the staff and assistant officials established by the feudal officials, powerful ministers and vassal towns. The staff in the shogunate are called staff. Therefore, the shogunate system is also called the staff system. The staff in ancient China are also edited
There are obvious differences between the officials who have entered the formal official system. Their main functions are to recruit consultants, consult and plan, participate in decision-making, grasp secrets, register documents, and even welcome guests, handle common affairs or travel on behalf of the master, etc.
Among them, participation in decision-making and mastering secrets are particularly important. The shogunate system played a special role in the implementation of feudal rule in China for thousands of years.
In the island country, the shogunate was still the orthodox name for the government until the mid-19th century. As for the so-called emperor, it was just a decoration.
In ancient China, it is estimated that only the most familiar Prime Minister Cao, who used the emperor to command the princes, may be similar to the shogunate system of the island country. After all, Prime Minister Cao has never usurped the throne in his life, so he is worthy of the Han Dynasty. Although he did not become emperor,
However, Prime Minister Cao's achievements in literature, martial arts, strategy, politics, people's livelihood, etc. throughout his life can be called a decathlon. Mao Zedong's words can be used to describe "The Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty lost their literary talent in martial arts, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were less coquettish, and the genius of the generation Genghis Khan only knew
"Bend the bow and shoot the big eagle" is the most appropriate.
Besides, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a storybook written by Ming Dynasty literati. The literati’s writings have always been about killing people without blood, usually in favor of their own interest class. Not to mention this novel, it is not uncommon for loyal ministers to be described as traitors in official histories.
"Is this the shogunate period of the island country? Is it before the Warring States period or after? If it is before the Warring States period, it is the Kamakura shogunate or the Muromachi shogunate. If it is after the Warring States period, it is the Edo of the Tokugawa family that Chinese people are most familiar with.
The shogunate."
Then John shook his head again.
"It can't be the Kamakura shogunate. According to real history, it is impossible for so many foreigners to appear on the island during the Kamakura period, and it is probably impossible for the Muromachi shogunate. So is it the only Tokugawa shogunate?"
However, John did not confirm his guess because there were still many things he did not understand.
For example, when these people continued to talk drunkenly, there were no titles such as island country or emperor. Instead, they only had daimyo and generals, and they claimed to be people of the forest country.
Forest country? What the hell?
Even though there were many small countries in the island nation during the Warring States Period, John was not a professional historian of the island nation. Apart from the six families of the three heroes before and after the Warring States Period, he didn’t know much at all. In other words, the surname Maori was familiar to him, and that was because of a famous elementary school detective.
.But I have never heard of the name of this island country.
In addition, John also observed that when these locals who were suspected of being islanders paid their bills, most of them used copper coins, and only a few used silver beans. In addition, in addition to the square-hole long-round copper coins and round-hole copper coins used locally,
, and there are also a large number of square hole coins that John is familiar with. The latter is obviously more popular among the locals and is used far more than the former.
Thinking of the historical knowledge I have learned before, the island country once introduced large quantities of Chinese copper coins to make up for the money shortage caused by insufficient domestic casting technology. So I saw familiar words here, such as Yongle Tongbao, Jiajing Tongbao, etc., and even some that have already been
John didn't think it was strange that the Kaiyuan Tongbao was badly worn.
He also saw many brand-new Kaiyuan Tongbao and Yongle Tongbao, which were obviously copper coins that had just been minted a few years ago, and there were also copper coins with the Jiajing era name appearing, so they definitely could not be from the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.
He still knows this bit of historical common sense.
This shows that the historical knowledge learned in previous lives is correct. From the Warring States period until many years later, the island countries like to use and imitate Chinese copper coins. Therefore, it is normal for a large number of privately minted copper coins to appear. Not only Chinese merchants and local
Merchants like it, and even many lords and daimyo like to do it.
Because privately minting copper coins is a relatively profitable activity.
The appearance of these familiar copper coins made him confused again.
"What kind of world is this?"
If it was an island country during the Ming Dynasty, it had a name like Forest Country that had never been heard of in history. At least he had never heard of it in his memory.
"If it's Naruto's world, then where did these Kaiyuan Tongbao, Yongle Tongbao and other copper coins come from? Did they travel through time?"
This made John have the idea of arresting someone for interrogation, but fortunately, he still remembered that he was in the mission world and could not act recklessly, so as not to trigger a counterattack from the plane consciousness.
Thinking of this, John realized that this time it seemed that the main world had not issued a task to him!
So I immediately thought of opening the system interface to check. Because the player log in the system will record the important events that I have experienced.
At this glance, I made a new discovery.
It turns out that it is not that the will of the main world did not issue tasks to him, but that after the system brought by the destiny card, the way the will of the main world directly issued tasks in his mind when he entered the trial plane last time has changed.
, now it seems that the tasks released by the main world have been intercepted by the system and turned into system tasks.
It's just that the mission content in the player log is very vague and unclear, which is not helpful in understanding the truth of this world.
"Main mission: explore the secrets of the world.
Side mission: Choose to join one camp and achieve final victory."
