It's really on the road of Ezo and Murakami, what is this broken Shiga County, it's a deserted island at all, a deserted island in the sea, all barren mountains and cliffs, and the only place to settle down is this small place to the south! ”

The five large ships finally left the port of Natsu and arrived at Shikashima, the northern exit of Natsu Bay.

But after landing and relying on, many brothers couldn't help but scold, this place is too remote, the whole island is only a slightly flat place, and there is now a small fishing village of about 30 households.

Xu Xiaofeng jumped off the boat, and a group of Japanese fishermen in the distance looked at them vigilantly, trembling and wanting to escape at any time.

He swept his eyes around and said with a smile, "It's pretty good, anyway, this place now belongs to our brothers, and we have a territory that really belongs to us." Shiga, the name is average, but it's ours after all. ”

Hundreds of people jumped off the boat one after another, and walked along the coast.

I thought it was very unpleasant to look at just now, but now I think it's pretty good, after all, this island does belong to them now.

"Brothers, although I am now the nominal owner of Shiga Island, and I am still the commander of this Raushzi Prefecture, or the daimyo or something, this island belongs to all of our brothers, and it is more than 500 of us brothers together."

"Captain, those fishermen will also be our people in the future?"

"Well, Murakami has assigned us land and people, these people will be our people in the future, everyone be polite to them, don't scare them."

Xu Xiaofeng took people to walk along the coast, the fishing village to the east is the middle of the sea road, between Shika Island and Nishitosaki, there is a thin sand belt about two miles long, no more than twenty or thirty zhang wide, and the narrow place is even only five or six zhang wide, when the tide rises, it is even directly submerged under water, making Shikashima an isolated island. When the tide goes down, the sand belt reappears, connecting Nishitozaki and the geese returning to their nests, and connecting Chikushi Main Island to make Shiga a peninsula.

Nishitozaki and the goose return to the nest terrain is flatter, Shiga is a mountain island, and Nishitosaki and the goose return to the nest are two large sandbars.

There are several fishing villages in both places, and these fishermen not only fish, but also cultivate the land.

"What a nice place!" Xu Xiaofeng said.

Wang Baogun listened to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, blowing a somewhat cold sea breeze, and asked Xu Xiaofeng.

"Captain, do you really believe in these widows? We're fighting and robbing this time, and it's impossible for ordinary people to do this? ”

"It's really impossible for ordinary people, but these people are widows. In fact, you don't have to worry too much, we are not alone here, the fat front in the west of Zhuzi is now our land of Daqin, where there will soon be a fleet and garrison sent by the imperial court, there will also be immigrants, and a few new commercial port cities will be opened, the closest place to us is only two hundred miles, what do you say we are afraid of? With this backer, do the Japanese dare to touch us? ”

"Besides, this Shikashima Island is actually quite good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as we build a fortress in that fishing village, we can attack and retreat."

"Are we really going to stay here in the future?"

"Since the Wa Kingdom has been attached, and looking at the current attitude of Su Ma Zi, he is attached with an iron heart, so for a long time in the future, it is estimated that this side will be relatively peaceful, do you know what this means? If you don't fight or plunder, then it must be to open the sea for trade, and there are still a lot of Japanese people, and now this Najin is the largest port, and it is close to Baekje and Silla, and it is also the closest port to our Central Plains, so it will definitely be very lively here in the future, and we will occupy this place and operate it as a stronghold, and only make money and not lose money. ”

"Captain, you said that now that this island is ours, can you apply to the imperial court for an overseas colony, and can you ask for a knighthood?"

Xu Xiaofeng was also a little moved, "Maybe you can, maybe not, I don't know, but you can give it a try, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed." ”

Over the next few days, Xu Xiaofeng and Wang Baogun toured Shiga Sanxiang and finally decided to build a fortress at the fishing village south of Shika Island that connected to the sandbar.

took out some of the money and salted fish and rice that Murakami had paid for, but he successfully recruited fishermen from several fishing villages in Sanxiang to repair the fortress, and these fishermen were skeptical, but in front of the bow and crossbow, they did not dare to refuse, so they had to come over with a bitter face.

Xu Xiaofeng didn't have much ambition, and for the time being, he only planned to build a small fortress with a circumference of two miles, so as not to be outflanked by the Japanese one day.

Rice with salted fish, but also filling.

This surprised the Japanese fishermen who came to repair the fortress, and when they ate the Hus, their stomachs were round, and they really believed that these Qin people were good.

Xu Xiaofeng took the opportunity to announce that the cultivated land in Sanxiang would be given to these people for cultivation, and the tenants would only need to hand over half of what they had to reap.

These lands were not originally owned by these fishermen, but by Zhuzi Haoqiang, and this time they were all given to Xu Xiaofeng as famous fields, so he could naturally give them to these fishermen again.

According to the harvest of 50% of the rent, this is a very conscientious and deeply admired by the Japanese people. In the past, they gave tenants to the nobles and the powerful, and the rent was much higher than this, some were seventy-three, some were sixty-four, and they were all more than fifty percent.

Moreover, Xu Xiaofeng also announced that in addition to the fifty-fifty share, these tenants do not need to bear other burdens, which greatly reduces their burden.

Xu Xiaofeng asked these fishermen to repair the fortress, not only to manage the museum, but even to pay wages, which made those widows even more surprised, there was such a good thing.

They all sighed, why didn't the Qin people come earlier. If we had come earlier, we would have been able to eat enough and live a good life.

Therefore, within a few days, these Japanese fishermen were immediately grateful to their new owner, Xu Xiaofeng, and they were very loyal, and they were much more diligent in their work.

Felling wood and taking stones, digging trenches and walls, very diligent.

"Lord, lord!"

Several widows ran to Xu Xiaofeng excitedly.

"What?" Zhao Laosan asked.

A fisherman held an object in both hands, "Lord, we dug this thing up in the ground when we were digging just now, hurry up and present it to Lord!" ”

Zhao Laosan helped Xu Xiaofeng translate.

"What's that?"

Zhao Laosan took it, "It seems to be a big seal." ”

"Golden?" Xu Xiaofeng took it, it was very heavy, and there was a lot of soil on it, as if it had been buried under the soil for a long time. But after wiping it, I quickly recognized that it was actually a golden seal.

Xu Xiaofeng was born in Jiangmen, although he later declined, but after all, he was also well educated when he was a child, and he suddenly realized that this seal is not simple, after all, the seal materials are very particular, there are strict grade regulations, and it is impossible to cross the chaos.

Those who can use the gold seal are generally kings.

"Haven't you heard of the Japanese people using gold seals?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"It seems to have words, what is written, Captain?" Zhao Laosan couldn't see it clearly.

"This is the Yin carved seal script, I recognize, Han ··· Commission···· Slave··· The king, well, is the five words of the king of Hanweinu. ”

"Could it be that this is the King's Seal?" Zhao San exclaimed.

Xu Xiaofeng also pondered, the seal of the king of the Han Dynasty, the word king does not need to think about it, what does the first three words mean. Han commissioner, is there still a Han commission slave country in the history of the Japanese state?

He picked up the gold seal and wiped it carefully, and then the face of the gold seal gradually appeared completely, the seal was square, about an inch in length and width, about seven minutes high, and there was a snake button on the seal.
