The island of New Zealand in another world, after the return of the fleet, was officially named Ranch Island by the sailors.

The reason for this name is that there is a large area of pasture on this island, and if it is used for grazing, it is definitely a gift from God.

After spending the end of winter on the road, the fleet took advantage of the spring monsoons to anchor again and expedition westward for more than two years, and now the sailors were in high spirits when they finally returned to their homeland.

This time they found the new continent, after returning to the Xia Kingdom, they can not only reap unparalleled honors, but more importantly, they go to sea this time but pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, the reward given by the imperial court to themselves is definitely a huge wealth, before leaving, the sailors are imagining how happy their lives should be after they go back.

The monkey stood on the dock and looked at the fleet that was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart, although Xia Guo had no relatives, but seeing that his compatriots were about to set foot on his homeland, although he didn't care, the homesickness in his heart became more and more intense.

The red fox looked at the depressed monkey and didn't know how to comfort him, just sat quietly on the side, accompanying him to watch the fleet disappear into the vast sea one after another.

On this return voyage, the fleet learned the lessons of the time they came, and the food and fresh water were very well prepared, as long as they saved a little, they should not end up in the same mess as when they came.

On the return ship, in addition to the sailors of the Xia Kingdom, there were many more unclothed miscellaneous servants, which were selected from the defeated slaves of the De'ang people.

The laws of the Xia Kingdom did not allow the existence of efforts, and in order not to cause any trouble when they returned, these forced conscription efforts were given a new status of miscellaneous servants.

The young man of the Ang people was also caught on the ship as a handyman, compared to the panic of the rest of the people, this young man did not have many emotional fluctuations, but when he first stepped on the boat, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to the previous wooden state, and when he rested, his eyes looked at the sailor on the ship from time to time, and his eyes revealed a bitter hatred, and when someone noticed this, the young man pretended to be nothing.

On the sixth day of the sixth month of the fourteenth year of the first month, the fleet that had been sailing on the sea for two and a half months finally saw the outline of the land.

After looking through the binoculars at the rolling sand dunes along the coastline, the sailors knew they had returned, and had finally come back alive.

On the deck, the sailors sang and danced indulgently, and some emotional sailors, holding on to the railing, cried loudly.

In front of him is the Xia Kingdom, which is Shenzhou, the land that gave birth to him, and the relatives who are waiting for his return.

The seasoned sailor skillfully steered the sails and rushed at full speed thinking about the desolate desert.

When everyone stepped on the hot ground, they were really sure that they were back.

With the help of maps and rudimentary astronomical instruments, the captain was able to determine his position roughly.

This is the southwest corner of the Shenzhou Continent, from here to the east for more than ten days will reach the mouth of the big river, if God favors this fleet, the road is smooth, another month, you can reach the new port city located in the south of the mainland.

One month, there is only one month left, and my hard work for more than two years will be rewarded.

Thinking of this, the corners of the captain's mouth couldn't help but curl, he was able to bring these people back alive, perhaps the proudest thing in his life.

Many years later, when he recalled this period of energy, it was as if it were just yesterday.

The young man stayed in the miscellaneous camp, looking at the starry sky in a daze, the desert at night was a little cold, and a cold wind blew and made him shiver.

"This is their land? Patriarch, we avenge you? Can you avenge the people of De'ang? They are too strong, patriarch, what should I do? ”

There was silence all around, no one answered his question, only the cold wind that swept up the yellow sand, and then dissipated again.

In the middle of the fourteenth and seventh month of the first month, Newport City.

Today's Xingang City is no longer the humble small port it once was, after so many years of development, it is already one of the largest cities in the Xia Kingdom.

Through immigration and the absorption of nearby natives, Newport City today has a population of nearly 80,000.

The streets of the city were orderly, the imperial court and private shops were full of people, and the streets were full of hawkers.

In the waters near the port, fishermen bring the fish back to the port, where the imperial court's trading post specializes in buying fish.

The development of saltpeter island has reduced the price of saltpeter many times at once, and some of these saltpeters have been set aside for military supplies, and more of them have been used by trading posts to make ice.

With these cheaper ice cubes, food, especially meat, is effectively preserved.

The abundant meat resources have greatly enriched the dining table of the people of Xia Kingdom, and ordinary people can eat a meal of meat and drink a pot of wine in four or five days, but there is no pressure.

The people can have today's living standards, and Wang Lang, who is in the palace, is still very pleased with this.

Under its own rule, the country is not perfect, but at least it solves the problem of food and clothing for everyone.

This can be done thanks to the rich land of Shenzhou, a large amount of wasteland is waiting for human beings to develop, and countless creatures running around are waiting for the people to domesticate.

With weapons beyond this era, if there is anyone who can't eat, then he thinks he is a failure.

Fortunately, God has mercy on him, and now everything is developing in a good direction.

July 16, fine.

The fishermen took advantage of the fog at sea to dissipate and start a new day's work.

When they arrived at the reserved spot to prepare for fishing, they saw a long mast emerging from the sea level in the distance.

The fishermen did not panic, but stood on the boat and watched curiously at the flotilla coming from the west.

Although the ships were far away, they could be seen faintly.

Although these fishermen didn't know why there were boats coming from the west, they knew that the army of the Xia Kingdom would not harm their own people.

Watching the fleet slowly approach, some bold fishermen even slowly approached these somewhat dilapidated warships.

The captain looked at the tanned faces on the fishing boat, and his heart was full of excitement.

Order the fleet to stop and wait for the fishermen to approach.

"This countryman, is Xingang City in front?"

The captain leaned on the railing and shouted to a middle-aged man below.

"This general, there is Newport City in front of him, and the general is from the west, so he knows the news of the expedition."

There was a faint expectation in the middle-aged man's eyes.

The captain was a little curious when he heard this, and asked, "This is a major event in the imperial court, what are you asking about these for?" ”
