The sea area west of the island of Kyushu in the Japanese country, in the Tsushima Strait between Korea and the Japanese country.

Thousands of large ships are on the surface of the sea, following the ocean current all the way north, heading towards the golden continent full of gold.

"I've arrived in the Japanese country, this is Kyushu Island, and if you go north, you can reach Yinshan County."

Tian Erniu put down the telescope in his hand, carefully compared the map, and said with a smile on his face.

With the development of maritime trade, trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom and Korea became more and more frequent.

The route from Tianjin to the Wa Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty was quite mature, and the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company took the lead in building a port and transit station on Muma Island (later Jeju Island) along the route.

The construction of the port and transit station of Muma Island greatly facilitated the merchant ships going to the Japanese kingdom.

The huge fleet has gone all the way, without encountering any problems, and the state of both personnel and materials is perfect.

"After a little rest here in Yinshan County, our next destination is Yuxi."

"In the future, if we build a transit station and port here in Yuxi, it will be much safer to go to the Golden Continent."

Next to Tian Erniu, Zhao Monkey also put down the telescope in his hand, pointed to the fish stream on the map and said.

"Don't worry, there is gold here in Yuxi, and it won't be long before it will prosper."

Tian Erniu said very confidently.

The fleet continued to move forward mightily, and soon arrived at the Yinshan Port in Yinshan County.

"Haha, welcome, welcome~"

The arrival of Tian Erniu's fleet, Tong Yuanna, the magistrate of Yinshan County, expressed a warm welcome.

The berthing of these thousands of ships is a considerable amount of income just by collecting berthing fees, plus the supplies of these ships and the consumption during the period of resting here in Yinshan County.

It can definitely greatly promote the development of the entire Yinshan County.

This is very important for Yinshan County now.

"Tong Yuan, this Yinshan County is developing very quickly, and the scale of this Yinshan Port is already quite good."

Tian Erniu carefully observed the entire Yinshan Port, and said to Tong Yuan with a smile.

He and Tong Yuan are old acquaintances.

In the past, when Tong Yuan had not yet participated in the imperial examination, he helped Liu Jin take care of these industries under his command, and Hetian Erniu was very familiar with these people.

"General, General~"

"It's mainly about everyone's support~"

Tong Yuan smiled and said modestly.

"Are the goods and manpower I want ready?"

After a pleasantries, I quickly got down to business.

"The goods have already been prepared, and they are waiting for you to pull them to Yuxi from Tianjin."

"As for manpower, I saw that there were no of these widows here in the port, they worked very hard, and the wages were very cheap, so they just pulled them over."

Tong Yuan nodded solemnly and said.

Tian Erniu led the team to the Golden Continent, he knew, and Liu Jin had already explained that many industries under his command should actively cooperate.

It was relatively easy to get to the Golden Continent, and Tian Erniu was also tasked with establishing a colonial base along the route.

The first colonial stronghold was Fish Creek.

Yuxi is relatively close to Yinshan County, and it only takes more than a month to go to Yuxi from Yinshan County, so Liu Jin has already arranged for someone to transport a large number of materials to Yinshan County in advance.

In this way, the transportation capacity on the fleet side can be greatly saved.

There are still several colonial strongholds to be built on the Golden Continent, and the supplies carried by the fleet are very valuable.

Try to replenish all the things that can be replenished here, so that when you get to the Golden Continent, you will be able to play with ease.

"Hmm~"

"Is there a merchant ship here willing to help us get to Fish Creek?"

Tian Erniu nodded, thought about it and asked.

"There should be someone who is willing, as long as the price is high, there must be someone who is willing, and if you don't go to the Golden Continent, just go to Yuxi, there are still people who are willing to go."

"If no one really wants to go, we can also come up with a system, and all the trading houses that go to the Golden Continent will either contribute efforts or money, anyway, they will help establish the colonial stronghold of Yuxi."

"After the establishment of this colonial base, this trip to the Golden Continent is equivalent to having a transit point, which is also for everyone's benefit."

Tong Yuan thought about it and replied.

"Okay, you can help arrange some ships to send these supplies and personnel to Yuxi, so that I can have a lot of space left and can bring more supplies to the Golden Continent."

When Tian Erniu heard this, he immediately laughed even more.

"No problem, leave it to me, there are a lot of ships coming to Yinshan Port now, there are several big ships every day, and you can hire enough ships casually."

Tong Yuan agreed.

"Let's go, take you to taste the food and beauties of the Wa Kingdom~"

After saying that, Tong Yuan patted Tian Erniu on the shoulder and took Tian Erniu to the county seat of Yinshan County.

Thousands of large ships, each with more than 100 crew members, add up to tens of thousands of people arrived at Yinshan Port.

Suddenly, the entire Yinshan County became extremely lively.

The spending power of these thousands of people is beyond doubt.

These people from the major commercial houses in Daming are very rich in themselves, and they have been adrift at sea for a long time, which can be regarded as a complete relaxation when they arrive at Yinshan Port.

The restaurants, teahouses, Qinglou Chu Pavilions, etc. here in Yinshan County are so hot that the business is beyond imagination.

At the same time, all kinds of materials were also purchased by the people of these trading houses, so that the people here in Yinshan County felt what it means to be rich.

……

In the huge port of Yinshan Port, tens of thousands of Japanese people are working hard, Kotaro is very hard, in order to be able to get the surname of the prefectural commander, he really works like a life, and he has been getting the best evaluation for several days in a row.

For him to work so hard, his wife and family are very supportive.

There is an essential difference between having a surname and not having a surname, and whether you can raise your head and be a person depends on whether you can grasp this opportunity.

"Let's come down~Let's come down~"

At this time, Dong Taro's voice sounded.

When everyone heard Dong Taro's words, they hurriedly put down the things in their hands and gathered around.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received an order from the prefectural magistrate, and the prefectural magistrate needs 1,000 people to go to the Yuxi side to establish a route transit point."

"Yuxi is a place north of our Yinshan County, only a few hundred kilometers away from the northernmost part of the Wa Kingdom."

"Adults need people who are obedient and work hard."

"You can get 2 taels of silver per month when you go to Yuxi, and you can also get three meals a day, and the meals are full, if you go to Yuxi to work well, the county will give you a surname directly, and in the future, after we develop the Golden Continent, you can get a hundred acres of land on the Golden Continent."

Dong Taro conveyed the latest order of the county magistrate Tong Yuan of Yinshan County.

"My lord, I'll go~I'll go~"

Kotaro didn't think about it, and just raised his hand.

"I'll go too~I'll go too~"

The others immediately raised their hands.

Where Fish Creek is, they simply don't know.

But it doesn't matter, this is silver, and you can get a surname, and you can also get the land of the Golden Continent in the future, how can you miss such a good thing.

As for where is the Golden Continent?

It doesn't seem to matter, it must be Daming's territory anyway.

"Kotaro, you're one~"

"You can't do it, you don't take your work seriously."

Dong Taro saw that everyone was very positive, and he also smiled and began to order people, and soon, the quota on his side was determined.

It took only a few months to recruit 1,000 people to build a stronghold and port on the side of Yuxi, and there were too many people who wanted to go.

Tong Yuan easily recruited thousands of people to build a transit base and port here in Yuxi, and by the way, he even had the manpower to mine the Yuxi gold mine.

The fleet has been resting here in Yinshan County for two days, and the girls of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion here in Yinshan County are almost exhausted to death in bed.

"Bell~Bell~"

As the departure bell rang again, thousands of large ships continued on their way.

"Fish Creek~"

On one of the large ships, Kotaro and a large number of Japanese people crowded on the ship, looking at the port of Ginzan.

His eyes were full of anticipation,

Fish Creek is an extremely foreign word and a very strange place.

However, in the past two days, he has also found someone to inquire about the Ming people, and roughly knows the location of Yuxi.

It is not far from the Wa Kingdom, and the nearest place is only a few hundred miles.

And this time they don't need to stay too long to go to Fish Creek, they only need to work on Fish Creek for about four months.

Yuxi is very north, and in the words of the Ming people, the dimension is very high.

In winter, it can be very cold, and it is difficult to survive here in Fish Creek.

So when it's winter, they blow back again.

At that time, he Kotaro will not only be able to earn silver, but he will also be able to have a family name that belongs to his family, a surname that has been passed down from generation to generation.

The fleet sailed all the way north.

Because old men like Arita Erniu led the way, coupled with accurate maps, state-of-the-art navigation technology, first-class ships and adequate preparation.

The route of the fleet was very smooth, and the journey was smooth sailing without any difficulties.

More than a month later, the fleet arrived at Fish Creek very smoothly.
