The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1508 Repressed Madness
It is true that the people on these islands are poor and empty now. When the imperial fleet arrives, won't they have money?
Everything on the island is proceeding in an orderly manner, and more and more gold and silver are accumulated on the ship. Perhaps in a month or two, the Navy's fleet will be able to carry these things back to Datang.

After another month or so, the fleet of the Navy finally arrived at Ryukyu Island from Chang'an and docked at the coastal port outside the city. Immediately ordered that the money be transported to the mines and paid to the miners in those mines.

After the copper coins were distributed, the members of the Xuanjia Chamber of Commerce also started to take action, using the things they brought from the Central Plains to trade with the people on this island.

The living supplies on this island are still very scarce, although there are, but most of them are very simple, nothing compared to the things sent from the Central Plains, so the money just received is spent before it is warmed up.

The craftsmen who came to Ryukyu with the merchant ships of the Xuan family will start to build a city on this Ryukyu Island. Although the city of Zhuzhen can be called punishment, it is too simple and barely a city. , and Xuan Shijing's plan is to build a main city on this island. After the officials of the imperial court come, the main city will be used as the government of Ryukyu to manage the entire Ryukyu. The configuration of Datang City is the same, and then slowly assimilate the people on this island into Datang people.

With the city, the port, and the merchant ships, the exchanges between the island and Quanzhou or the Central Plains will be frequent. People on the island can spend money to take boats to the Central Plains, and people from the Central Plains can also go to the Central Plains. Come to this island.

The most important thing is to gradually develop the island.

In addition to minerals, this island has other good things, such as fruits, spices, and natural hot springs.

There are also many things, but the people on this island don't know how to develop them.

After picking the fruits, put them on the boat, and take good measures to preserve freshness. It is not a problem to go directly from Ryukyu to Yangzhou by water. It only takes a few days, and there is no need to pass through Quanzhou in the middle. It can save a lot of time by taking a straight line on the sea. .

"Xuan Gong, the island is finally stable, and we can go back when the officials sent by the imperial court come here." Liu Renyuan said.

"Go back?" Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Since I'm here, it's not my style to go back so easily." Xuan Shijing laughed.

To the south of Ryukyu Island, there are still good places. The number of good things is much less than that of Ryukyu Island.

If there are spices on the Ryukyu Island, then there will be more on those small islands in the south that no one cares about. Now that it is so close to there, this season is just right. After a few storms, the weather is not good. Yes, take this opportunity to go over there.

Xuan Shijing felt that basically there would be no people living on those small islands, and even if there were, there would not be many people. The Tang army now has 1 naval officers and soldiers. The soldiers of the Wanshui Division, Xuan Shijing and Liu Renyuan took another [-] people to the island in the south, and maybe they could find some good things.

Even if you can't find it, you can open up a route.

"Where does Xuangong want to go?" Liu Renyuan asked.

"Further south." Xuan Shijing said.

"Going south? After all, this trip is enough. Why did Xuan Gong take such a big risk? Speaking of Ryukyu, someone from the previous dynasty has been here before, but if we go south, we will With one black eye, you don’t know anything, the risk is really too great.” Liu Renyuan said.

"As long as there is no reason for the weather, everything is not dangerous." Xuan Shijing laughed.

When sailing on the sea, the biggest enemy is nature. Storms, waves, rocks, and undercurrents, as long as you can avoid these, the rest is not a problem.

Even if you arrive on an island, there is a country and an army on the island, if you can fight it, you can fight it directly, if you can’t fight it, you will admit it for the time being, saying that it is Datang’s foreign exchange fleet, have a good chat with them, do business and then bring Let people leave.

Zheng He went back and forth thirteen times on his voyages to the Western Seas. Every time he took the known route, wasn’t the rest just exploring?I also saw Zheng He die at sea.

So Xuan Shijing felt that if they were fully prepared, the possibility of encountering danger would not be too great, and they did not rush straight into the Atlantic Ocean, but also slowly groped along the coastline.

"General Liu, do you dare to come with me?" Xuan Shijing asked with a smile.

Standing in the tent, Liu Renyuan looked at Xuan Shijing standing in front of the map. Now Liu Renyuan felt that he could not see through Xuan Shijing more and more. What kind of person is this Duke Xuan?If Ruoruo likes money, even though the Xuan family is very rich, everyone in Chang'an City probably knows what the Xuan family's money does. It is said that Xuan Gong is crazy, but from the time he was Xuan Shijing to now, Liu Ren would like to know that Xuan Shijing also cherished his life.

Then why does he think so now?
Liu Renyuan, who was born and bred in Datang, would not understand that Xuan Shijing is such a half-hearted "imported product". Xuan Shijing has a special feeling for Datang, and he will not tell anyone about this feeling, and no one will understand him. Because of this feeling, Xuan Shijing thought and did everything silently in his heart.

Even Xuan Shijing didn't know how he kept his passion, even he himself was amazed that he could pay so much for what he thought in his head and the stubbornness in his heart.

This is a feeling that kills people.

Sometimes Xuan Shijing thinks about it, he has done enough, and then he will be safe and secure, do something without any risk, help Datang go further, and then live in prosperity and peace, but When things came to an end, Xuan Shijing suppressed the madness in his heart again, wanting to work harder and fight hard.

Xuan Shijing knows that there are risks in the sea, and the risks are not small, but risks are accompanied by opportunities and wealth. If he stays in the same place forever, then he will get nothing, and Datang will get nothing. Everyone They are all just walking in place.

But the current situation is like this, Xuan Shijing's people are already on the Ryukyu Island, and the navy's troops are also concentrated here, and they have been idle, with the full support of the imperial court behind them, and this is such an opportunity in front of them.
