Chapter 40: The Returning Fleet

From the previous Cangzhou to the current four states and sixteen counties, the New Song Kingdom has gradually grown from a toddler to a prince who is on the same side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Anything new is beautiful, and the New Song Dynasty regime is also beautiful for the people of the 12 counties of the three states that were occupied.

Registering and making records, collecting lists, measuring land, and distributing improved seeds were the first steps of the New Song Dynasty, and they were also the things that the people were most concerned about.

What is gratifying is that the officials of the New Song Kingdom have done very well in these things.

The lord Bo took the wardens, the wardens took the officials, and the officials from the top and bottom of the county government all went down to the township to set an example for the people to divide the land.

According to the regulations of the New Song Kingdom, once the land was divided, it must be registered as the New Song Dynasty, which also made the large-scale population registration of the New Song Kingdom in full swing in various townships and counties.....

......

The sky is clear and the sun is shining.

More than 30 fortune ships sailed calmly on the sea, and their broad sails were stirred by the wind, and they kept ringing in the direction of the east.

On one of the largest fortune ships at the helm, a bearded man dressed in a Japanese costume stared at the sea at the bow of the ship, his face full of anticipation.

"Master Datian, our water is almost finished..."Fuji Zhimu squeezed out a sentence from his throat hoarsely, his lips were chapped due to lack of water, and the whole person looked very sluggish.

"Fujiwara-kun, we've been sailing for a month, and with this wind speed, we're almost in Japan." The bearded man swallowed dryly and said.

"Is it.... I miss the hot springs in my hometown so much now, I want to soak in them and drink all the water in the hot springs. Fuji Tsugi said in a trance, he was a sign of dehydration.

At the mention of the word spring, the bearded Adam's apple couldn't help but move, but there was no saliva to moisten his throat.

"Bear with it a little longer, bear with it a little longer...."The bearded lips moved silently, they brought so much treasure back to the country this time, not to mention the glory and wealth, even if they asked the emperor to go down to a small town, His Majesty the Emperor would reward him, so they must insist on reaching Japan!

Just as the bearded man was thinking wildly, suddenly, the cheers of the sentry card rang in his ears.

"Land! Land! The sentry post standing above the sails shouted loudly, as if seeing a new life.

This sound cheered up everyone on the ship, and everyone poked their heads to look in the direction of the ship's sailing, only to see a black horizon line appear at the limit of their line of sight.

"Land! Land! After seeing clearly what it was really like on land, the bearded man jumped up excitedly, this time the voyage was finally over! Emperor bless! They came back alive!

....

The closer he got to land, the more Ota could see where it was.

Directing the fleet to continue eastward along the barren seaside land, when crossing the Seto Inland Sea again, a large port and dock gradually came into view, and this was the Namba Port of Osaka Castle.

The bearded man ordered the crew to dock the ship at the port dock west of Namba Port, and thirty huge fortune ships actually filled the entire dock.....

....

The Port of Namba saw a rare spectacle.

Thirty large ships docked at the downwind pier west of Namba Port, and sailors were constantly coming down from the big ships carrying something.

After making inquiries, the laborers on the dock actually learned that the fleet had sailed back from the Central Plains.

This is a terrible time, one spread ten, ten spread hundred, not only alarmed the port steward of Namba Port, but even the general of Osaka Castle was alarmed.

When General Tsugi arrived at the docks with a large number of samurai, Yuno Ota had just counted all the glassware.

Even if it is covered with linen, but those glass products are still broken, which makes Ota Yuno heartbroken, in his eyes, each of those transparent glass items is a priceless good thing, even a broken one will make people feel heartache, not to mention that now it is a batch of broken ones.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! General Tsugi is here! A dozen sweepers began to clear the docks, making way for the already crowded docks, and a man dressed in the uniform of a Japanese aristocratic general walked straight to the goods, surveying the goods that were contained in the boxes.

His eyes swept away, and his whole eyes lit up.

He turned his head and asked Yuno Ota, "You sailed from the Central Plains?" ā€

"General Tsugi, I am the ambassador Yuno Ota who was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to set off for the Central Plains with the Fujiwara family and the Yoshiyasu family." The bearded man revealed his identity first.

Sure enough, after saying this, the general was really stunned for a moment, and the face that was originally accompanied by it was instantly covered with a smile.

"Haha, it turned out to be the Daejeon envoy, this general heard a few months ago that His Majesty the Emperor sent a group of Song envoys to the Central Plains, but I didn't expect it to be led by the Daejeon envoys, it is really the general Sansheng lucky, since the Daejeon envoys arrived in our Osaka City, the general naturally wants to entertain them, and also ask the Daejeon envoys to move to the general's mansion, let's watch the tea and continue."

When Ota heard this, he didn't show any dissatisfaction, just smiled and nodded....

.....

The docks were soon filled with several times more manpower, and the men carefully transferred the glasswork into larger and heavier boxes, and then the goods brought from the Central Plains, one by one, were put on horse-drawn wagons and transported to the Shogun's Mansion in Osaka Castle...

...

"Lord Ota, please taste our locally produced steamed green sencha in Osaka Castle." General Tsugi sat down at a table and pointed to a cup of tea made by the maidservant.

"General Quercus is invited, so the lower official will drink it first." Ota Yuno raised his head and drank the tea, and then said unsatisfied: "I have heard for a long time that Osaka's sencha is bitter and sweet, and sweet and fragrant, but after tasting it today, I found that it really deserves its name." ā€

"Haha." Tsugi laughed, "Envoy Datian, what is new about going to the Great Song Dynasty this time?" ā€

Ota Yuno smiled slightly, "The place we went to this time is not the Great Song Dynasty. ā€

"Oh? Not the Great Song? Oakwood asked confusedly.

"Exactly, the country we are going to this time is called the New Song Kingdom." Ota Yuno said fascinatedly.

"New Song Kingdom? Where is that? "General Tsugi obviously didn't know much about the changes that had taken place in the Central Plains to ask such a question.

"The New Song Kingdom is the place where the glass treasures that General Fang Cai saw at the dock were produced, and the capital of the New Song Kingdom is in Cangzhou....."
