Datang: Son-in-law, I beg you to come out of the mountain

Chapter 341

After wandering for a few days in the vast ocean on the steamship that Yang Zhuo was on, he finally saw some islands of the Wa Kingdom.

However, the vicinity of these islands is still sparsely populated, and there are pitifully few ships.

"Husband, Mei Niang can see from the map that the Japanese country is surrounded by the sea, and there are islands and coasts everywhere. The fish resources should be particularly rich. However, in the past few days, there are very few people from the Japanese country who go fishing in the sea. !” Wu Mei said with some doubts.

Yang Zhuo smiled and looked at the opposite island.

"Of course! Although the country of Wa has a lot of fish resources, the people of the country of Wa are not very civilized at this time, and they can't make good fishing boats at all, let alone weave particularly good fishing nets. Therefore, even if there are fishers, It's just a small fight, wandering around the sea, and dare not touch the deep sea." Yang Zhuo explained.

During this period, even the Tang Dynasty with a high level of civilization, people dared to explore the deep sea only after he built a sea-going ship, let alone the low-level Japanese country.

"What my husband said is true. I think the ships of this Japanese country are really not very tall, and the workmanship and materials are not good." Wu Mei smiled and said.

"This is also the reason why Japanese people always like to send Tang envoys to Datang. They urgently need the advanced technology of Datang to develop their own country." Yang Zhuo said leisurely.

However, these envoys sent to Tang Dynasty were blocked by Yang Zhuo one by one!

"Husband, since that's the case, our Great Tang has good fishing skills. Isn't it great to come here to develop the fishing industry and earn money from the Japanese people?!" Wu Mei said with her eyes brightened.

Yang Zhuo pinched Wu Mei's cheek with a smile, and boasted: "Not bad! I learned a lot from being my husband!"

"We can indeed occupy the Wa country, and then develop marine fisheries here!" Yang Zhuo said.

Wu Mei was praised by Yang Zhuo, she was very happy in her heart, and continued to express her thoughts.

"At that time, we will circle a few plots of land at Tsushang Port, a ferry near Nara, and then, in the same way as Lingnan, build a batch of houses and sell them to Chinese people who come to do business."

However, Yang Zhuo didn't quite agree with Wu Mei's idea.

"This is not the best way!"

Wu Mei looked at Yang Zhuo suspiciously, and said, "What does the husband mean?"

"I agree with encouraging people from Datang to come to the waters near Wa to fish."

"However, although Nara is still prosperous in Wa Kingdom, the imperial power is not concentrated and its power is not enough. The management of the various islands of Wa Kingdom is still in general, and the connection between them is still very weak."

"Therefore, building a base in Tsugami Port is of no use."

Yang Zhuo shook his head and analyzed.

"Then...then what should we do?" Wu Mei looked at Yang Zhuo suspiciously.

"My idea is that it would be better to occupy some islands and use those islands as a base, then develop trade and radiate to the surrounding areas."

"Moreover, it can also lay the foundation for expansion to the North American continent!"

Yang Zhuo's goal is not only Japan, but the whole world!

Use Wa as a base to explore North America!

Mining North America!

"North America? Husband, Meiniang has heard of this Japanese country, but Meiniang has only seen this North America on a map."

Wu Mei said with emotion.

Yang Zhuo smiled and said, "Of course it exists!"

"Moreover, I have made a preliminary plan. In a few years, I will send people to explore there."

"At that time, you will really know that this world is far wider than you think."

At this time, Liu Da hurried in to report.

"My lord! The ship is about to enter the port!"

"Understood! You go and prepare to disembark at the port!" Yang Zhuo nodded with a smile.

The geographical location of the port of Tsugami, in the country of Wa, the port of Tsugami is probably equivalent to the port of Kobe in later generations, and it plays a particularly important role in the political economy of the country of Wa.

Moreover, because Nara was the political center of Wa country at that time, Tsugami Port was the closest to Nara, so it was particularly important.

Since the political and economic center of the Wa country was in Nara in this era, Namba Tsu was the most important port of the Wa country.

……

Tsugami port, wharf.

Matsushita Taro, the official in charge of the port at the Tsugami port mansion, just got up, stretched his waist, and prepared to go outside for inspection as usual.

Matsushita Taro was appointed by the Japanese Emperor as the guardian of Tsugami Port, responsible for the various operations of Tsugami Port.

As the guardian of Tsugami Port, Taro Matsushita knew very well that this pier was the key to the prosperity of Tsugami.

Without Tsugami Port, Tsugami is really nothing!

This Tsugami Port is also the most prosperous place in the entire Wa Kingdom except for the capital of Nara Castle!

A big reason why it is prosperous is that Tsugami Port is the largest wharf port in Wa Kingdom!

People and goods on many other islands want to go to Nara through Tsugami Port!

In addition, the trade between Wa country and surrounding countries also needs to go through Tsushang Port!

Therefore, Tsugami Port is particularly important!

Matsushita Taro hummed a ditty, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the outside of the mansion.

In the past few days, he got a bribe from the Japanese businessman, which was very valuable, and he was in a particularly happy mood!

However, as soon as he walked out of the mansion, he heard the servant hurried in to report.

"Master! Master!"

"At the port pier just now, a fleet of ships suddenly came! Moreover, it is some fleets that have never been seen before!" Servant Hui reported.

Taro Matsushita frowned, looked at the servant, and said, "Speak slowly! What kind of fleet is it?"

"Master! There are more than [-] ships in that fleet! Moreover, it doesn't seem to be rowed by manpower! It can move by itself, and the speed is extremely fast!"

"Also, there are chimneys on the ship! It's still smoking!!"

Taro Matsushita was particularly shocked!

"What?! There is such a ship?!"

I have never seen a boat that can walk by itself and is extremely fast!

"How many ships?!" Taro Matsushita said hastily.

"Report to the Patriarch! There are so many ships! There are at least [-] ships!" the servant said.

When Taro Matsushita heard this, he asked in confusion: "There are so many?! Could it be a ship from Silla or Baekje?"

Taro Matsushita suspected that these ships belonged to Baekje or Silla.

However, the servant shook his head and said.

"Master, it's not like Baekje and Silla. Those boats are relatively big. A boat is several times bigger than our ordinary boats!"

"Don't say that there are no such ships in Baekje, even the once glorious Goguryeo has never seen such a magnificent ship!"

The servant reported very honestly, and reported everything he saw to Taro Matsushita!

"Come on, let's go to the pier and have a look!"

Taro Matsushita hurriedly frowned and walked forward!

He wanted to see where the ship came from, it was so miraculous!

……

"Husband, it turns out that this is Tsushang Port. It doesn't look like a big deal. It's not as good as an ordinary port in Datang."

After Wu Mei looked at it, she shook her head and said.

"Of course! This country is underdeveloped. Although Tsushang Port is prosperous, it can't compare to the ordinary port of Tang Dynasty." Yang Zhuo said with a smile.

"However, son, this Japanese man is really short!" Liu Da said contemptuously.

Liu Da is a general with a burly figure. Looking at the Japanese people, he thinks they are very short!

At this time, there were many Japanese watching the excitement around, generally dressed in tatters, with yellow and emaciated faces.

When the ship hadn't landed just now, the Japanese people couldn't guess where the fleet came from. They just thought that these people came from a particularly good place!

However, some knowledgeable people have already guessed what!

Looking at Yang Zhuo's dress and demeanor, it was very similar to what those envoys from Tang Dynasty said.

In their eyes, Datang is the best!

It is a sacred and unattainable existence, and it is also a very distant existence!

Hearing what Liu Dagang said, Yang Zhuo lowered his head and looked at the surrounding Wa people, what a thing!

These Japanese people are short and thin!

"It's a genetic problem. Their ancestors were genetically short. In addition, the economy was underdeveloped and they couldn't eat good food. Naturally, they couldn't grow taller! As a result, in our Tang Dynasty, many people simply called the Wa country a short country."

Liu Da laughed and said, "My lord, if you don't tell us, I can't even think of how this Wa country dares to kill the descendants of the Chinese people. Such a short Wa country has that ability!"

Yang Zhuo was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "There is no way! In this world, the strong always invade the weak! The Japanese people can bully the descendants of Huaxia, and that is because the descendants of Huaxia were too weak at that time!"

"This gives the Japanese people an opportunity to take advantage of! Moreover, as the saying goes, the dwarf has a lot of eyes! The Japanese are very insidious! However, from today on, this hidden danger will no longer exist!"

"I will slowly make this place my Chinese subsidiary!"

Yang Zhuo smiled confidently!

"Young master, don't worry! Liu Da will definitely help you with this matter!"

"By the way! Liu Da! This Japanese girl is pretty good! Which one do you like to take back when the time comes!" Yang Zhuo smiled and said.

"Forehead……"

Liu Da was slightly stunned, this is not very good!

Although he was itchy in his heart, he was afraid of being punished by his wife to kneel on the washboard!

"No, no, no! This kind of blessing, only the young master can have!"

Liu Da is envious and jealous.

He really wanted to get a few more women to use at home, but he is a strict wife!

At this time, not far away, Matsushita Taro was leading someone, panting, running here!

"Patriarch! It's them!"

Taro Matsushita stopped immediately and looked towards Yang Zhuo!

Yang Zhuo's whole person exudes a superior temperament, this kind of temperament is more noble than the nobles in Nara!

Obviously, they are not ordinary people!

Could it be that they are...

"Quick! Go and call someone who can speak the language of the Tang Dynasty!"

Taro Matsushita ordered.

The servant heard Matsushita Taro's words, then looked at Yang Zhuo and the others, and instantly understood!

Yang Zhuo and the others turned out to be from Datang!No wonder it's so grand!

The servant immediately nodded and said, "I'll go right away!"
