On the open sea of Goryeo, the waves were raging, and a fleet struggled to navigate through the waves, and the main sails of the ships were all lowered, only a small sail on the stern side was blown by the wind and swelled like a ball, and the sea was like a boiling pot of boiling water, and the six giant ships were thrown to the top of the waves like toys, and then they were sent to the bottom.

Lai Chuanfeng, who was full of beard and ragged clothes, roared angrily in the gale, his thick arms tightly held the cable, dragging it backwards desperately, and the ten fingers of his feet tightly picked at the deck, no matter what, the entangled cables had to be separated, otherwise, if the main sail could not be opened for a while, everyone could only float into the depths of the ocean with the current.

Also embarrassed is Wang Xuance, an elegant man, who has now become a savage, and after three years of sea sailing, he has long tempered this splendid scholar into a qualified sailor. With a swarthy face, thick arms, a muscular chest, and a whole body drenched in the sea, he still, hey, he shouted the trumpet and let the cable pull into the muscles on his shoulder.

Hypatia stood on the bridge, holding her binoculars and looking at any land that came her way, and this time, if she couldn't find a suitable place to dock, the fleet would be completely desperate, and although she lost seven ships along the way, she didn't have much sadness, because the sea didn't give you time to grieve at all.

Three flames suddenly rose from the lead of the Waves, and after they flew into the air, they suddenly exploded, and under the lead-gray clouds, they appeared very bright.

Lai Chuanfeng wrapped the cable in his hand around the winch, and the six stout men immediately turned in circles and stirred the winch, Wang Xuance suddenly loosened the cable in his hand, and saw a huge sail covered with patches quickly rose to the mainmast, the big ship paused, the small sail fell, and a small spinnaker quickly rose. Changed the direction of the giant ship and jumped forward to the right front.

This ship was not the only one that made the change, the other five Seawolf-class battleships made the same action at the same time, and with the help of the strong wind, the mainsail jumped out of the current with the giant ship, heading in the direction of the east wind.

"Land!" Hypatia first spotted the shadow of a petrel in the sky. As long as you see this kind of sea spirit, it means that the land is in front of you......

He Ping is He Shao's cousin, originally he had a very good future, working in Honglu Temple, at the age of thirty, he did it from the sixth grade, which can be called a promising future, and the three-year promotion assessment began, He Ping was full of confidence in himself, not to mention relying on the words of He Shao, the first rich businessman cousin in Datang. Just his achievements in the past three years are enough to send himself to the position of Zhengliupin, and it is not a big problem to become the head of Honglu Temple, and when he reaches that position, he can be regarded as a glorious ancestor.

Things turned out to be as he wished, he was successfully promoted to a higher level with a first-class evaluation, and just when the whole family was immersed in joy, a piece of appointment knocked him from the top of the Bright Mountain to the invincible abyss.

"Envoy to the Wa Kingdom. Spy on the Wa Kingdom and learn about the Wa Kingdom. Supervising the ...... of silver exports"

Then He Ping, who had just been promoted to the sixth rank officer, was sent by the East China Sea Fleet to the subject state of the Tang Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom. Time flies, six years have passed in great anxiety, thirty-six-year-old but gray-haired He Ping, what he has to do every day is to stand on the beach and look at his hometown, for this, rain or shine.

The well-behaved widow next to her, Ping Bachi, has been following her for five years. and gave birth to two children, He Ping is still full of resentment about this land.

From Chang'an to the Wa Kingdom, the gap between this is too big, it is like falling from heaven to hell, if you just endure hardship. He Ping actually didn't care, when he was in the academy, the rockery was built, and the dry steamed buns were gnawed for several months, the physical fatigue, and the lack of food, it was not a problem for him, the academy pays attention to self-reliance, there is very good rice, rich fish, as long as you get some green vegetables, you can live, if the people who come out of the academy can't even solve their own food, clothing, housing and transportation, then I'm sorry for Mr. 's teaching.

The eldest grandson Wuji is a bastard, my cousin offended you, why are you angry with Lao Tzu? If you send Lao Tzu to a poor mountain in the empire, Lao Tzu will definitely not curse you, but will be grateful to you, but what is the matter with sending Lao Tzu to a monkey's den?

More than 200 sailors who committed serious crimes, two who only knew how to drink and did not know the main book of Ludao's bookkeeping, and who were in charge of more than 20,000 miners in Yinshan, were He Ping's main errands.

Placed in the surveillance of the Wa Kingdom, He Ping did not know how to monitor the Dao, from where to monitor, the ships of the Wa State were all broken into wooden planks by the East China Sea Fleet, although Fujiwara Jing is the capital of the Wa Kingdom, but the population is only more than 80,000, the low city wall has no way to resist the high-intensity attack, He Ping is thinking every time he sees Fujiwara Jing, give Lao Tzu 8,000 soldiers, and he should level this liao.

After the bamboo was burned, it was sharpened and sharpened, which was the weapon of the Japanese soldiers, and the bamboo was cut into bamboo pieces and connected to become bamboo armor, and only those nobles could have iron weapons.

After observing several wars against rebellion in the Wa Kingdom, He Ping left Fujiwara Jing far away and lived in Yinshan, in his opinion, helping the empire to collect silver with the soot blowing method is far more important than monitoring the Wa State, a small number of strong samurai, in front of the army of the Tang Dynasty is a joke, according to He Ping's judgment, without two or three hundred years, the Wa State cannot reach the current political, cultural, military, and level of the Tang Dynasty.

The prince of the stable gate died in the Ikaruga Palace, and the Soga family was extremely inflated, and a woman jumped out and led a group of powerful assassins to kill Soga Irishi, and then claimed to be the Emperor of the Imperial Pole.

Emperor Huangji has a son who is ten years old, He Ping has seen this prince and found that he is different from others, and his appearance is also very different from others.

For the reason that he spoke Chang'an dialect with others, for a long time, He Ping was the young man's teacher, except for the academy's order not to pass on the knowledge, he almost taught the Confucian classics.

"Strange to say, no one has ever seen Emperor Gogoku, not even the closest ministers of the Wa Kingdom, and no one has ever seen Emperor Gogoku for his true face, because the Emperor's face is always covered with a veil.

Those who had seen the emperor's face had died, and those old ministers who had survived the early years, after swearing to their children and grandchildren that the emperor's blood was unspeakably expensive, immediately committed suicide with their swords, without exception.

He Ping is like an outsider, watching the capital of the Wa Kingdom move from Fujiwara-kyo to Namba and then to Asuka, all of which has nothing to do with him, and hollowing out the silver mountain here is what he has to do.

The East China Sea Fleet will come over once a year to transport away the silver that has been refined, and the commerce of the Tang Dynasty has become more and more prosperous, and the demand for silver is very large.

He Ping came to the beach again, strolling on the soft sand with his hands behind his back, this is one of his few hobbies, the waves rolled up with white foam and washed up on the beach again and again, and slowly retreated, occasionally leaving one or two small fish to stay on the beach and jump helplessly, the people of the academy heard Yunhou tell the story about fish and children, so at this time, He Ping would lean over and pick up those stranded small fish, and then throw them into the sea......

A stout young man followed behind He Ping, and as his gaze looked at the sea, he asked He Ping in a low voice: "Sir, do you remember your hometown?" ”

He Ping nodded and said, "Yes, it's been six years, and I miss my hometown all the time, and I went back last night." ”

"Sir, I only know that the Dao Datang is extremely powerful, but my knowledge of your country is limited to this, can you solve the doubts of the students?"

He Ping smiled, patted the top of the young man's head and said: "You know enough about the Dao, you know that the Dao is a powerful country and the Dao is afraid, if you know too much, you will despair!" ”

"Japan is also advancing, my mother has pacified the Japanese archipelago, as long as you learn from the Tang Dynasty, Japan will soon be as powerful as the Tang Dynasty!"

He Ping laughed again, this kind of childish words made him very happy today, took the child's hand to the beach, sat on the sedan chair, was carried up by sixteen mine slaves, looked back at the sea again and said: "Strength is actually the disaster of the Japanese country, and there is no way to compare the step of an ant with a step of an elephant." ”

The young man nodded, and then asked, "I've been studying national politics recently, and I know that silver is a very precious thing, since silver is produced in Japan, why are the Japanese not qualified to mine silver and use silver?" ”

He Ping looked at the young man and said embarrassedly: "Because Datang needs silver, you can't use it." ”

"For what?" The young man asked.

"You better ask your mother, she should know very well what she is doing......"

Today is the time to check the amount of silver, He Ping needs to personally supervise, at this point, He Ping will never be sloppy, how much is produced every month, how much is put into storage, there must be a very detailed record.

Outside the Silver Mountain is a very vast grassland, the young man gallops on the grassland, followed by a hundred and ten outlaw running slaves, in the middle of the grassland, there stands a snow-white tent, every year in the spring, the empress will come to this grassland with the hairpin prince to live on this grassland for a while.

The Empress in the tent sat on her knees at the table, holding a brush in her hand and constantly reviewing the music in front of her, and just as she was about to finish her work, the hairpin prince lifted the curtain and came in, and the only one who could enter the emperor's tent was the hairpin prince.

The emperor put down the pen in his hand, sighed, and said, "Calm, calm, you are the one who is about to become king, why are you still so frizzy?" ”

The hairpin prince picked up the cup in front of the emperor and drank the water in one gulp, and then asked his mother angrily, "I asked my sir today, since silver is produced in Japan, why are the Japanese not qualified to mine silver and use silver?" ”

The emperor looked up at his son and said with a smile, "What did you say, sir?" ”

"The gentleman's answer was very unreasonable, he said that it was because Datang needed silver!"

"Mr. is not wrong, that's the truth, Datang needs silver, it says everything, his answer is very real and appropriate!" (To be continued......)
