Nambatin was the main port of the Wa Kingdom, and Silla and Baekje, or Goguryeo envoys and caravans came to the Wa Kingdom, and they often had to stop in Nambatin.

Santaro is a well-known merchant in Nambatsu, and every morning, he wakes up early and goes to the port to see what is going on today.

As a businessman with a complicated business, Santaro knows the situation in Nambatsu very well, and it is not unscrupulous to look for him as to which ship has gone to sea today, whose new batch of Azabu has arrived, or which fishing boat has returned with a good harvest yesterday.

The rising sun shines on the harbor, creating a beautiful picture with the ships.

With a faint fishy smell wafting from the sea in his nose, Santaro felt that he was full of energy all day.

Since the relationship between Baekje and Wa Kingdom improved, Santaro's business has prospered a lot, and the profits in this area are much greater than the trade between the various feudal states in the country.

As long as this momentum continues, within a few years, Santaro will have the opportunity to become a nobleman of Namba Tsu with his own surname.

You read that right, it is to have his own surname, because Santaro now only has a first name, no surname.

In the Wa Kingdom, until the Meiji Restoration, ordinary commoners did not have surnames, only nobles did.

So today, you will see some very strange surnames of the Japanese people, such as Yamashita, riverside, pigs, dogs, etc., all of which were during the Meiji Restoration, when the government required everyone to give themselves a surname for the convenience of military recruitment.

How can many people who don't know a single big character get their surnames?

If you live under the mountain, you will be surnamed the mountain, and if you live by the river, you will be surnamed the river, anyway, there are all kinds of things, and ordinary people don't understand why the surnames of the Japanese people are so strange.

"Hey, why is there a fleet coming in so early today? It's kind of weird. "Santaro was walking on the dock as usual, and with good eyesight, he immediately noticed several sea ships emerging on the horizon.

I saw the port from afar, and the fleet of the East China Sea fishery was at full speed, heading directly towards the wharf.

"It's strange, this ship is not Nambatsu's, and it's not the same as the ships that came from Baekje in the past."

The clippers had all three sails outstretched, and the flotilla approached the dock in the shape of arrows.

In these years, even Datang only has a few ports such as Guangzhou and Quanzhou that have special officials to manage, and Nambatsu is naturally not much better.

However, when such a few strangely shaped ships suddenly broke in, some people immediately went to inform the local officials.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this is Nambatsu, the largest port in the lower country, and it only takes one to two days to travel from here to Nara."

After more than two years, Inoushang returned to the Wa Kingdom again, and he was inevitably a little excited, but he knew that entertaining Li Kuan well at this time was the most important thing.

"Nambatsu? Looking at the location, it is a natural harbor. ”

Li Kuan had seen the charts when he was on the ship, and knew that Nambatsu was the port of Osaka in later generations, and there was no doubt that the location was excellent.

"Inu-kun, Inu-kun, are you really back?"

A person who looked like a Japanese official walked over quickly with figure-eight feet, and his O-shaped legs made people look awkward for a while.

"Su I'm big-eyed, don't you come and see His Royal Highness the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty." Inoumi Yamada saw that the other party was focused on himself, and quickly took two steps back and reminded him.

"Your Majesty, Su Iqilang, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Suga Shichiro, as the big eye of Nambatsu (official position, similar to the county order of the Tang Dynasty), is relatively knowledgeable in the Wa Kingdom, and as soon as Inugami reminded him, he immediately reflected it.

"Suga Shichiro? A son of the Su family? ”

Li Kuan looked at Su I Qilang playfully, according to his sporadic understanding of the history of the Japanese Kingdom, he knew that Su Wu's family was once a powerful existence in the Japanese Kingdom, and he didn't know who was in charge now.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the minister of the lower kingdom, Su I Ezo, is the uncle of Su I Shichiro." Inugami added on the side.

"What is the position of the minister?"

The study of Huaxia in the Wa Kingdom basically started from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and now it is only a fur, the title of many officials, if the dog does not explain, Li Kuan really has no concept.

"Your Highness, it is roughly equivalent to the left servant of your country's Shangshu."

"Su I big eyes, this piece of land on the left side of this pier, this king wants it." Li Kuan didn't care whether Su I Qilang agreed or not, "Xue Li, you take twenty guards, and those sailors stay at the dock to guard the ship, without the permission of this king, any outsider dares to board the ship, and he will be killed!" ”

"Lord Wang, the land on this dock belongs to the owner, please forgive the official for not being able to give it to you."

Su and my family are powerful in the Japanese country, and Su I Qixi saw that Li Kuan was so domineering and pointed his finger directly, and said that I want this place, of course I am not happy.

Li Kuan didn't pay attention to him at all, and directly ordered the dog, "Little dog, you are the landlord, you go to find some livestock to help transport the goods, stay in Nambatsu for a day today, and go directly to Nara tomorrow." ”

Su Iqilang's face was ugly, but when he saw Xi Junmai and Wang Xuanwu pressing their hands on the handle of the knife, they had the intention of pulling out their swords and facing each other if they didn't agree with each other, and they didn't dare to have any opinions.

In the Wa Kingdom, there is no need to talk so much truth to them, whoever has a hard fist is the truth.

Anyway, Li Kuan wants to let the people of the Japanese country know, don't mess with the Tang Dynasty, I will beat you if I provoke you!

……

There is a shopping street near Nambatsu Pier, and there are all kinds of shops on the left and right, and wooden signboards are hung high above them, creating a bustling scene.

However, most of the Japanese people walking on the road were dish-faced and looked malnourished.

Since he arrived in the Wa Kingdom, Li Kuan was ready to take a look by himself, as for Inougami, as an envoy of the Wa State, he immediately hurried back to Nara after returning to China, leaving Kujo to accompany him tomorrow.

"Lord Wang, I think this widow is far poorer than my Tang Dynasty, and it doesn't seem to be of great significance for us to trade with them?" Wang Xuance looked at the pedestrians on the road with a little disappointment.

"Xuan Ce, there is no doubt that the ordinary people of the Wa Kingdom are very poor, but the wealth of those nobles in the Wa Kingdom is more than you think, especially the gold and silver mines in the Wa Kingdom are more than my Datang, and they have been accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years, which will definitely surprise you."

No matter which country it is, poverty and wealth are relative, and no matter how poor a country is, there are also local tyrants.

"Lord Wang, there is a shop that looks a little bigger, why don't we go in and have a look, and by the way, inquire about the market of the goods we brought?"

Wang Xuance felt that no matter whether what Li Kuan said was right or wrong, he had to first find out how much the things brought by the fleet were worth in the Japanese Kingdom, after all, everyone was engaged in maritime trade for the first time, and they were a little confused.

"Okay, then let's go in and have a look, the province will be pitted by those Japanese people in Nara."
