The overall development of Jeju is basically settled, using the little land to recuperate, taking advantage of the geographical location to develop shipping, to trade the country, and to develop and grow, and the Korean Peninsula in the north due to the complex situation, so it can be co-opted to strike at the same side, distant and close attack, and the relationship with Goguryeo and Silla is slightly handled, but to Baekje has to play tricks, Baekje's national strength is not strong, but the strength is not nothing, Liu Zhi's strategy is to plunder and harass, such a scourge looks annoying, However, it will not pose a subversive challenge to the security of the country, a bit similar to the situation of the Ming Dynasty in the later Ming Dynasty, it is not cost-effective to send a large army to conquer, there are strong enemies in the north and east, and the situation in the country will be empty as soon as the army leaves, so the Baekje people do not dare to rush into the army, but if they do not send troops, then such a scourge will not be eliminated, and after a long time, the foundation of the country will be affected, although it will not shake the national capital, but the livelihood and trade of the people in the coastal area will be affected.

During this period, it is a matter of grasping a degree, how to get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost, which is a science.

However, if they wait until their navy is strong, Zhang Yang suggested that they can develop eastward, and there are Ryukyu Islands in addition to Kyushu and Shikoku to the south of the Japanese mainland, and the Ryukyu Islands have been attacked by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty, and it is the territory of the Sui Dynasty at this time, but this place is barren and the population is too small, and the Sui army withdrew after it was defeated, leaving only a small army on the island to garrison, at this time the Sui Dynasty has been in chaos for several years, and I don't know what the situation on the Ryukyu Island is.

After two days of sailing, this huge fleet finally arrived at its destination, Yingzhou Mountain was visible in the distance, and a large number of people appeared on land, these people excitedly waved the flag in their hands, obviously to welcome their return.

Seeing the banner with a big Luo character printed in the crowd, the last trace of worry in Qin Qiong's heart disappeared.

Since Luo Cheng has already come out to greet him, there is probably nothing big happening on the island during this period of time!

There was originally a small port on Jeju Island, and Tamna used to go out from here when they went to sea, but this port was naturally too small for Qin Qiong's fleet, so for most of the previous time, they were building the infrastructure on the island, not only built two ports and several docks, but also built a city, although the city is not too big, but it is the most important defense on the island.

The fleet began to slowly enter the port, and the small boats gathered in the northern port where the water depth was relatively shallow, which was also the port of the original Tamna country, but it was only put into use after expansion, although it was also able to dock relatively large ships, but because it was facing the north, ordinary large ships would not come to dock here.

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were both on a big ship, so they docked in this port in the southwest.

"Cousin, Shixin, you're finally back, is this business going well?"

Luo Cheng did not wear his signature silver helmet and silver armor and white cloak today, but wore a casual suit, but he was young, and this brocade dress was also very close to him, looking like a rich son of a family.

"It's relatively smooth, but when Du Fuwei left, a large number of people followed, it is said that before he reached the Yangtze River, the brigade of men and horses had already lost nearly half, and there were countless casualties, and most of the Central Plains were like this, ten rooms and nine empty starvation all over the field, where is still the Great Sui Dynasty we saw before!"

Qin Qiong was a little sad, he was older than Luo Shixin and Luo Chengcheng, in his early years, he followed Laihu'er and Zhang Xutuo to fight in the south and the north, and he had witnessed the strength of the Great Sui, although he was just a small catcher at that time, he was very pursuing at that time, earning money to support his family, marrying a daughter-in-law, giving birth to a big fat boy, and living a quiet life, such a day was just something that thousands of families chased and owned at that time, but the overall situation of the world, it will change, and it is not much slower than the speed of God turning his face, The kind of comfortable, tranquil and happy life at the beginning, now reminiscing about it, has become a flower in the mirror.

"The world is like this, cousin doesn't need to be worried, just as Liu Gezhu explained before leaving, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone, we currently do not have the ability to help the world, we can do as much as we can, cousin, you see, these more than 50,000 people who came over this time, aren't we saving them within our own capabilities? If we can send 50,000 people, it's already good, if we want to save everyone in the world, I'm afraid that the emperor may not be able to do it, oh yes, cousin, what is the situation in the Central Plains now? Is the battle in Hedong over? ”

Luo Cheng has also been to the Central Plains, and he participated in the previous time to migrate and transfer people to the Jianghuai area, but that was several months ago, but several things happened in the Central Plains, and the war between Hedong and Tongguan entered a fierce confrontation stage. Of course, he didn't have the intention of distracting and diverting Qin Qiong's attention when he said this.

Qin Qiong thought for a while, and then said: "The situation in Hedong has stabilized, then Dou Jiande took Hedong, Li Shimin's army retreated to Guanzhong, Li Yuanji was defeated and killed in Hedong, but Tongguan is still in the hands of the Tang army, the Sui army missed a great opportunity, if Tongguan can be won this time, I am afraid that the situation in the world will soon be calmed down, other places are mostly rabble, only Li Tang is the elite of the people, these people are afraid that it is not easy to deal with, and the time will drag on for a long time, The Turks in the north, Goguryeo in the east, Tubo in the west, and Nanzhao in the south are all expected to be ready to move, and the situation is not good! ”

Luo Cheng wanted to divert his attention, but who would have thought that anything he thought could be associated with the people's livelihood and suffering, and he couldn't help but sigh for a long time, which made Luo Cheng quite speechless, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Brother Qin, there is one more thing I forgot to say!"

The two did not stay on the dock for a long time, Luo Shixin had already taken the lead back to the city at this time because of seasickness, and the two of them also rode horses and slowly moved forward on the official road that had been repaired for a short time.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Qiong slightly let go to the side, the official road is not very wide, at this time there are a large number of goods that need to be loaded and unloaded from the dock to the city by car, so the official road is very crowded for a while, they ride horses, but they don't necessarily have to take the official road, the terrain in this area is relatively flat, they can walk on the grass next to it, but the weight of the truck is relatively heavy, if you don't take the official road, most of them will sink into the mud on both sides, so the pedestrians on the road will generally give way to the carriage.

Most of this kind of goods are iron tools and grain, the grain is imported from the Wa country, and the iron tools are purchased from the Central Plains, this time Qin Qiong brought over the population, many of them are craftsmen, among which there are more blacksmiths, he is ready to establish an ordnance department, responsible for building and maintaining ordnance for the army, but the number of blacksmiths now does not seem to be enough, and they need to train more in the future, they can directly purchase iron ore from the Central Plains in the future, and then sell it to the Korean Peninsula after building it on the island, whether it is Goguryeo Silla or Baekje, These standard weapons of the Sui army are very hot, a pair of Sui army's two-grade armor can be sold for ten yuan in Silla, and this price can buy ten Silla women locally.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, women from Silla were very popular with the Central Plains, especially those rich sons, wealthy families, a large number of Silla women would be trafficked by human traffickers from Liaodong to Guanzhong or the Central Plains, and then sell them to Qinglou or directly to wealthy families, most of these Silla women will be accepted as concubines, or maidservants, etc., after the Tang Dynasty broke Goguryeo and eliminated a big obstacle, this trend became more prevalent, and the Silla people were unwilling. A large number of domestic women were trafficked, some of which were sold voluntarily by their parents, but there were also many traffickers who directly robbed them, and the number of people increased year by year, which shook the foundation of the whole country, so the Silla people strongly protested to the Tang Dynasty, after all, the two countries are allies, the boss can't always bully the younger brother, and buy the younger brother's women, and the younger brothers can only start to fight 1,500 years in advance, which is not good, it will drive people crazy!

The boss of the Tang Dynasty spoke, so the people below did not dare to blatantly start trading, and the traffickers were also suppressed somewhat, so there were a slight decrease in such things, but it was not completely impossible, but because it was more difficult to get people directly from Silla, there were also many people who were transported from Goguryeo and Baekje to sell as Silla people.

Jeju Island also bought Silla concubines, the reason is that their ratio of men and women is extremely uncoordinated, in the early army that landed on the island, there were definitely more men and fewer women, most of them were bachelors without families, so a large number of women were needed to neutralize, and when they sent troops to Baekje before, they carried out a raid and captured a lot of women.

"A group of envoys came from the Wa Kingdom, saying that they wanted to establish a trade partnership with us, wanted to get a large number of our ordnance, and they also wanted to learn our shipbuilding technology!"

Qin Qiong was slightly stunned, a Japanese national?

"When did this happen? How many people did they come? ”

The country is not very far from Jeju Island, if you sail from the sea, it will only take more than ten days to arrive, in fact, the straight-line distance is shorter, but the shipbuilding technology at this time is not developed, and it will be finished when it encounters strong winds and waves in the deep sea area, in the Tang Dynasty, the monk Jianzhen crossed to Japan, and it took six times before and after, and finally landed in Japan in his sixties, which is really a hardship, and can be called a legend of Journey to the East!

"They came a few days ago, not many people came, only a hundred people, they brought three boats, but these boats are relatively simple, the boat is not very big, I went up to sit, the shaking is very strong, the load is not bad, I invited them to take our big ship, but they are full of praise, very envious of our shipbuilding technology, and even proposed on the spot to buy my ship with the number of the sea, I did not agree!"

Luo Cheng paused when he said this, and said indignantly: "If they really want to buy it, then it's okay, this group of guys actually said that they want to use their trade rights to exchange shipbuilding technology with us, this is obviously a white wolf with empty gloves, I can't bear it!" ”

"Well, it really can't be changed, Liu Gezhu said when he introduced the surrounding situation to us before, the country in the east is an island country, the country is not very big, but the population is also a lot, although the population at this time is not as good as the Central Plains, but it is much more than the three countries on the Korean Peninsula combined, they are island countries, so they attach more importance to the shipbuilding industry, but because the development time is relatively short, so the technical reserves in this area are still relatively weak, so such a large number of small boats will be built, If we teach them our own shipbuilding technology, it is equivalent to raising tigers, the resources in their island are relatively poor, the land area is relatively narrow, at this time there is no more suitable vehicle, so the external expansion is restricted, but if we give them our own shipbuilding technology, this problem is no longer a problem, and then the development of things will not be under our control, the Japanese people say that the right to trade, this is indeed a big temptation, but Liu Ge Master also told me before, He said that this Japanese country is not monolithic, and there are many large and small forces scattered in the country, so this group of Japanese people who came over is probably just a force representing one of them, and there is no need to take it too seriously. ”

Qin Qiong didn't care very much in his heart, the good things were in their hands, and they were not very worried about not being able to sell, and the country was loose, and the demand for goods from the Central Plains was very strong, so they categorically did not dare to interrupt trade, and the blow to themselves was likely to be heavier than the blow to Jeju Island.

However, since the Japanese people are here, then he still has to meet him, and if the negotiation is successful, he will not talk about it first, but others are always guests, and he still has to show the posture of the landlord to entertain him, otherwise he will not be able to get over the face.

"Arrange them in the post house in the city, let people protect them well, and don't let them see things they shouldn't see!"

Qin Qiong explained a few words, the horsewhip was waved, and the yellow horse under the crotch excitedly opened its front hooves and galloped wildly! (To be continued.) )
