Osaka Castle.
Oda Yoshinobu was handling official business with the assistance of Li Huamei and others, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then he saw Ning Ning walking in.
"Lord, Liuke is back!" Ning Ning said respectfully, but there was a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Ryuko?" Oda Yoshinobu froze when he heard Ning Ning's words, and he didn't seem to remember who this person was. Seeing this, Li Huamei on the side said helplessly, "Lord, Liu Ke is the man who followed Tia back then, and later offered to go to the so-called New World to bring the people back." ”
"Oh...... It's him......" Oda Yoshinobu reacted at this time, but as soon as he finished speaking, he stood up in shock, looked at Ning Ning and asked in disbelief, "He's really back?!" Coming back from the New World?! ”
Well, it's no wonder that Oda Yoshinobu was so shocked, to know whether to travel from Japan to the New World, or directly across the Pacific Ocean, this kind of thing is in this era, it is almost no different from looking for death. And whether it is Lilu or Tia, they have only heard that Spain has opened up such a route, but no one knows how to go about it.
So at that time, not only others, but also Oda Yoshinobu himself felt that this was just an excuse for Yanagi. If it were Oda Yoshinobu, he would definitely want to flee from here, or just abandon himself and seek death. Because of this, Oda Yoshinobu never asked about this matter again. Although Oda Yoshinobu gave Yanagina some men and boats, it would not be a big deal if he could make Tia feel at ease to do things for him.
But now, Liuke is back. Regardless of anything else, the mere fact that he came back was enough to shock Oda Yoshinobu. "Prepare the ship immediately, I'm going to Sapporo myself!" Oda Yoshinobu ordered loudly.
"Yes!"
A few days later, inside the Sapporo castle tower.
Liuke knelt down with his men and kept telling about his experience for almost three years. Although he was just saying it in a very flat tone, whether it was Oda Yoshinobu or Hidemoto Umizumi and the others on the side, they were quite frightened when they heard it. Not to mention Tia, I don't know how many times the tears have turned in my eyes.
After listening to Ryuko's story, Oda Yoshinobu understood why the reckless young man at the beginning became like an uncle in Sangcang. To be honest, when I first saw Yanagi, Oda Yoshinobu really didn't recognize it, because the change was too great. Compared with the previous Liuke, the only thing familiar is probably only the resolute eyes.
"It's unbelievable that so many things have happened to you over the years. To be honest, I really didn't expect you to come back when you left. Oda Yoshinobu said with a sigh.
Hearing this, the faces of the group of people behind Liu Ke suddenly changed, but Liu Ke still said calmly, "My subordinates promised that they would definitely come back." As he spoke, he pointed to a few boxes next to him and said, "Here are some spice seeds that the ship originally had, as well as some jewelry. In addition, there are seeds of peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes that Your Highness asked for before. ”
Hearing Ryuko's words, Oda Yoshinobu stood up abruptly, "Really?!" Oda Yoshinobu asked excitedly. Well, you can't blame him for being so excited, it's really that this thing is too important for the Oda family today. Or rather, it is very important for all countries that are in a food deficit.
With this, although Oda Yoshinobu did not know if these things could be successfully cultivated in Japan, if they did, it would completely solve the Oda family's food problem. After solving this problem, it was accompanied by the rapid growth of the population in the Oda family. The increase in population will lead to the reduction of a large amount of wasteland, the increase in taxes, and the overall strength of the Oda family will increase.
Of course, now Oda Yoshinobu doesn't have to worry, even if Japan can't grow it, he can take it to Ryukyu or even Takayama Province to plant~
Turning around a few times excitedly, then Oda Yoshinobu looked at Yanagi and said excitedly, "Very good!" Very good! Originally, I thought that the Galen ship and the latest guns on it were the biggest surprises, but I didn't expect that there would be even bigger surprises. With that, Oda Yoshinobu calmed down, sat back down, looked at Ryuko, and said in a deep voice, "So, what reward do you want?" Hehe, to be honest, I really don't know how to reward you for your merits......"
As he spoke, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly laughed and said, "Of course, that thing is impossible. I'll tell you first, lest it end up if you bring it up. ”
Hearing this, Tia suddenly looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a flushed face, obviously Oda Yoshinobu already knew the meaning of what Tia meant.
Naturally, Ryuko knew very well, but he just bowed down in front of Oda Yoshinobu and said respectfully, "Your Highness, your subordinates' request is very simple, I just hope that Your Highness can treat my people as his own people and let them live a happy life." ”
As he spoke, he straightened up and looked at Oda Yoshinobu, and said in a somewhat sad tone, "When my subordinates returned to their hometowns this time, I saw that many clansmen had gradually forgotten the hatred of being conquered, and had begun to get used to the rule of these invaders. ”
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head and said, "Time can always cover up a lot of things, and I don't know exactly what happened in your hometown, but I can guarantee that your people are here, and I will treat them like other civilians." ”
After a pause, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "Well, now that the family has basically occupied the eastern part of Ezo. However, with the exception of Sapporo, there are few other areas that have not been developed, except for a few ranches and mines. If you wish, you can choose a place to build your own territory. Of course, it is best to choose a place with a natural port, so that the transportation of materials will be more convenient. ”
"Then thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Ke said respectfully when he heard this.
"Well, then in the future, you will continue to serve under Tia~" Oda Yoshinobu said lightly.
"Yes!"
"Tia, it's up to you to help Liuke build a new territory, settle down the location as soon as possible and start construction." Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice, then turned to look at Yanagi Dao, "Wait a minute, divide each of these seeds into five parts, leave one here to try to plant, and I'll take the rest with me." ”
"Yes!"
Later, after listening to some of Tia's reports about Sapporo, Oda Yoshinobu took people on board the huge Galen ship.
"This ship is really good......" Oda Yoshinobu looked around and said in a deep voice, "Nene , after returning to Ise, I will hand over this ship to Tsuru and ask her to stop all construction except for the one that has already begun to be built, and make every effort to study the structure of this ship, and strive to start producing this kind of ship as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes!"
Seeing Oda Yoshinobu leave by boat, Tia turned her head to look at Yanagina, "Yanagina, welcome back!" ”
"Yes!" Ryuko replied respectfully, the two looked at each other, and suddenly, they laughed together. This smile made their original hazy feelings completely disappear, and all that was left was like-minded dreams and years of friendship with each other.
"The tribesmen are being treated in the hospital, and I heard from the doctor that basically everything is fine, but it will take a period of rest to fully recover." Tia whispered.
"Really? That's good...... That's good......" Hearing this, Section Chief Liu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well how much these people had suffered these days, and in his heart, although he had found land, he really had no confidence in how many people these people would be able to save.
"But speaking of which, there are doctors here too?" Liuke asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, there are not only doctors, but also the academy~ The people can now enjoy the treatment of doctors and enter the academy~" Tia said with a smile.
"That's great~" Ryuko nodded with a smile when he heard this, he didn't expect that Sapporo would change so much in just two years. However, this also made him completely relieved, since Oda Yoshinobu has built a college and hospital here, this Oda Yoshinobu is indeed quite good to the people here. After all, in his heart, neither the doctor's diagnosis nor the reading of a book can be enjoyed by ordinary civilians.
And Oda Yoshinobu, who returned to Ise, immediately sent someone to summon Li Huamei and others, "Here are some spices, as well as peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes, and potato seeds brought from the New World. In addition to the one left in Ezo, the other four parts, Ninin, you send someone to send one to the elder brother, and the remaining three parts are planted in Ise, Ryukyu, and Takayama Province. ”
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
Then Oda Yoshinobu still seemed to be uneasy, and hurriedly told again, "Remember! Be careful with the experiment, if these seeds can be grown successfully, food will no longer be a problem! ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces immediately changed, obviously they didn't expect these seeds to have such a powerful effect. However, seeing the skeptical eyes of everyone, Oda Yoshinobu didn't explain much, because he didn't know how to explain it himself, so he could only keep emphasizing that he must be cautious and cautious.
