Nambatsu is more prosperous than ever.

On the edge of the quay, a huge manor house has begun to take shape, with walls on three sides already standing tall.

It is said to be a wall, but in fact, in a place like the Wa Kingdom, it is no lower than the wall of an ordinary city.

The fishing industry in the East China Sea arbitrarily occupied several thousand acres of land, but only symbolically paid a lease fee of 10,000 taels of silver to the government of Nambata, and then forced Namba Tsu Ome Soga Shichiro to sign a lease contract for a period of 99 years.

This contract, even through the mediation of Kujo Shinichi, used the seal of Emperor Shumei.

Of course, the fishing industry in the East China Sea is not afraid of the Japanese people repenting.

As long as the national strength of the Tang Dynasty does not decline and the scale of the fishing industry in the East China Sea does not decline, the Japanese people will not dare to regret it at all.

On the contrary, no matter how detailed the contract is, once the national strength is gone, it is very simple for people to clean you up.

"Commander Meng, Captain Zhou, the last time they came here was more than three months ago, calculate the time, the new fleet should have arrived early, why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

Santaro came to the Nambatsu station of the East China Sea Fishery today to visit Meng Hao, the commander of the guards who stayed here.

Since Li Kuan followed the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to the Japanese kingdom, Zhou Fu came with the fleet twice, and some of the goods were given to Kujo Shinichi, who was responsible for selling them in Nara.

The other part of the goods was sold by Santaro to the various local domains, so Santaro's reputation in Namba Tsuri grew day by day.

Santaro, who was originally engaged in the trading business, started the distribution of fisheries in the East China Sea, which was completely handy; Even the things carried by the fleet on the return voyage were handled by Santaro single-handedly, which saved a lot of work.

"The East China Sea fisherman has a great business, not only with the Japanese state, but also Captain Zhou may have gone to other places. But Santaro, you don't have to worry, it's a month in the shortest, two or three months in the slow, and the next wave of ships will definitely come. ”

Meng Hao suddenly saw Cheng Chumo and his party who came in the dark a few days ago, and knew that Zhou Fu had other tasks this time, and he would come to the country later.

And Cheng Chumo and they also have other arrangements, and they will not let the people of the Japanese Kingdom know that Datang has a fleet coming over before they are done.

So Santaro asked him, and he was naturally there to deal with it on a business-like basis.

"Commander Meng, in fact, it's not that my Santaro doesn't have confidence in the East China Sea fishery, it's really that we are in the limelight a bit during this time, and there are some businessmen in Namba Tsuri who are teaming up to do something and want to get a piece of the pie from us."

Santaro is a native of Nambatsu, so he naturally has his own channels for news about what is happening in the city.

As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts.

In this short period of less than a year, the East China Sea fishery has earned a lot of money, others may not have very accurate figures, but the order of magnitude can still be estimated.

In the eyes of these merchants in Nambatsu, since the Tang envoys can go to Datang smoothly, then they should have a great hope of organizing a fleet to reach Datang.

As long as a few boatloads of porcelain are brought back, all the capital will be earned.

"What? Did those people take it so quickly? ”

Meng Hao frowned, as Wang Xuanwu's right-hand man, he was the commander of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Palace's Imperial Palace, and what he needed to do was not just to guard the security of the station.

He also knows a little more about what happened in Namba Tsuri than the average person.

"Yes, just the shipbuilding workshop to the west, during this time, three large sea ships were started one after another, and a group of craftsmen were hired from Silla. It is said that even the craftsmen who returned from the Tang Dynasty were working in the shipbuilding workshop, and there were faint shadows of the nobles of Nara Castle behind them. ”

Santaro is now firmly tied to the East China Sea Fishery, and has vaguely become the spokesperson of the East China Sea Fishery in Nambatsu.

Especially during the construction process of the station, all the Japanese helpers were recruited and managed by themselves, so that Santaro could feel the taste of a master.

"As far as I know, it's not just that one shipbuilding workshop that has a new move, right?"

Meng Hao's face showed an intriguing smile.

"There are six decent shipbuilding workshops in Nambatsu, but only two of them are capable of making sea boats, and the others are not to be feared. However, it is said that in some other ports, there are also a small number of workshops that make boats. ”

"You send people to keep an eye on it, and as long as there is any change in these shipbuilding workshops, report to me in time."

……

Wakayama has a good geographical location in Wakoku, and it is tightly guarded by a large area of the sea off Nambatsu.

However, at this time, Wakayama was still relatively desolate, after all, there was a Nambatsu port with a better location nearby, and it was not yet its turn to develop.

There are more than 100 islands in the waters under the jurisdiction of Wakayama, most of which are small and uninhabited.

During this time, a group of people came to one of the islands with a small natural harbor and settled on the island.

"Brother Cheng, Meng Hao has already made the situation in Namba Jin clear to us, should we hurry up and do it, and save the province of nesting on this broken island all day."

Fang Yiai still misses the nourishing life of Nara Castle, and naturally does not want to stay for a long time on this island where there is no woman.

"Bereavement, why are you anxious about you. The prince has instructed us to find an island and build a military fort on it that can accommodate thousands of people. Now we have to choose the location first, or they will not know where to go when they come with the fleet on Tuesday. ”

Before Cheng Chumo could speak, Wei Chihuan, who was more clever-minded, couldn't help but speak.

This time, a few of them came over, although they also brought three sea ships, but they were basically not loaded with trade materials, but there were more weapons, fire oil and other materials, and even a batch of salt and whale jerky, in order to build a stronghold in the waters near Wakayama first.

Whether it is the three caves of the cunning rabbit, or the control of the sea area around Nambatsu, anyway, this stronghold, Li Kuan is ready to keep it for a long time.

"The shipbuilding workshops in Dengzhou Prefecture have been building a large number of flying clippers, and several other newly opened shipbuilding workshops are also constantly building ships, and when the time comes, there will inevitably be more fleets to the Japanese people, and the stimulation will be greater, and they will pay more attention to the role of shipbuilding workshops.

Fang Yiai also rarely began to use his brain, "The instructions given to us by the prince are to completely destroy the shipbuilding workshops of the Wa Kingdom, according to my understanding, it is best to kill none of the people in the shipbuilding workshop!" ”

"Okay, you don't understand me. This attack on the shipbuilding workshop, it is best to kill several of them in one go, otherwise people will be vigilant, and things will not be easy to handle, so I am still waiting for Meng Hao to inform us of the best time to start. ”

Cheng Chumo has always disliked using his brain, and this time Li Kuan asked him to lead the team to do this, which was really a little difficult for him.
