Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

1099 - Caucasian Dog
"The situation in Japan is still unstable, but our Yokohama Port is absolutely safe." The customs officials at the Yokohama Port Wharf received a fleet from Tianjin Wei, and six galleons full of supplies docked at the Yokohama Port Wharf.

"Is the war still going on here?" Cao Bianjiao, who came with the North American expedition team, asked.

The fleet of the North American expedition departed from Tianjinwei and passed through the port of Yokohama for resupply on the way.After finishing the final replenishment at Yokohama Port, the fleet of six galleons will sail to North America along the Japan Warm Current and the North Pacific Warm Current.

"The provincial government is organizing a northern expedition. In the northeast of Dongying, there are old lands called Dewa Country, Mutsu Country, and Hokkaido. The local folk customs are strong, and the resistance of the samurai group is also the most intense. This is like the separatist regime in the late Tang Dynasty , Each area is dominated by local warriors, and the interests of the local area are even more important than the interests of Japan as a whole.” Customs officials have worked here for a period of time and have a good understanding of the situation in Japan.

"Is there any problem with the generals not chasing down the rebellious warriors?" Cao Bianjiao asked again.

"The government army in Dongying Province is advancing steadily, and it will definitely not be a problem to pacify the lands of Deba, Mutsu, and Hokkaido. It just takes some time. After everyone returns from the New World, the singing and dancing here should be peaceful." The customs official said.

Cao Bianjiao looked at Yokohama Port, a small fishing village that was occupied by the Kyushu Army a few years ago. It has gradually become an important port in the central part of Japan, and the Yokohama Shipyard has become the largest and most advanced shipyard in the area.

"If we build a new town in the New World, this is a transit point between the mainland and the New World, and maybe it will be more prosperous." Cao Bianjiao could see the unique location of Edo Bay at a glance.

Here is the largest market in Japan's Honshu Island. Honshu Island has more than [-]% of Japan's population concentrated. In the future, the fleet going to the North American colonies will generally carry out final supplies in Edo Bay after leaving the mainland.Generally, ports that serve as transit points will become prosperous. In the age of great voyages, the coastal and riverside areas will be bustling. Most of the international trade and transportation rely on sailing ships and steam ships that are gradually emerging.

"The most prosperous is the coastal area of ​​the mainland, backed by hundreds of millions of people, and located in the center of the East, South, and West oceans, where sailboats can travel to and from various places. Yokohama Port and Edo Castle are just the centers of the region." The customs official said.

"Please follow this list to supply us with fresh fruits, vegetables and fresh water. After the supplies are completed, we will set sail again." Cao Bianjiao handed over the list to the customs officer and asked him to prepare it for him.

Yokohama Port has a population of tens of thousands, and it is also a gathering place for various commodities. It is not difficult to prepare some supplies.

Expedition members on sailboats also have the opportunity to disembark and walk on land.Many people know about the establishment of Dongying Province, but most of them are coming here for the first time. They feel a little novel about the buildings here that are slightly integrated with the local ethnic characteristics, which is a bit like the Chinatown of later generations.

"I have something here, I don't know if I can trouble you?" The customs official took Cao Bianjiao to visit Yokohama Port when the expedition's fleet was replenishing, and asked Cao Bianjiao for help.

"What's the matter?" Cao Bianjiao didn't know this official before, so he didn't understand.

"It's just a trivial matter. When a Dutch merchant ship came to Yokohama Port for trade, it left two newborn puppies with me, saying that they were going back to the Netherlands. Puppies I may die on the ship, so I gave it to me. But I am usually busy with official duties, and secondly, it is a gift from a Western businessman, and it is difficult to explain the report in the future.” The customs official said, “It is said that it is a Western businessman called The dogs in the Caucasus, I saw that when they grow up, they are half a person tall and weigh a hundred catties, which is much larger than ordinary dogs. I think if you go to the New World, two hounds may be able to play a certain role. "

"It turned out to be just two puppies... If that's the case, it doesn't matter. Our farmer brought a few native dogs on board, and there were also shepherd dogs brought by the shepherd. It doesn't matter if there are two more puppies. It's just According to what you said, it is really rare to weigh more than a hundred catties after adulthood." Cao Bianjiao said.

"The Dutch businessman said that these dogs live in the mountains and forests. Maybe the primitive environment of the New World is suitable for them. It is too pitiful to keep them in the gradually prosperous ports, especially if I are to raise them, they can only be tethered dogs. In the courtyard." The customs officer brought Cao Bianjiao to his residence.

Sure enough, there were two groups of gray puppies chasing him in his yard. Their size was much larger than the ordinary puppies Cao Bianjiao had seen.

"When these two dogs grow up, they may be the biggest dogs I have ever seen, even bigger than the wild wolves I usually see in the south." Cao Bianjiao said.

"The two of them are a bit shy, and they usually have to be tied up with ropes, but they are more loyal to their owners," the customs official said.

"Then I'll take it and see if anyone is willing to take care of them. These two dogs should be able to catch prey in the New World."

Cao Bianjiao saw two giant puppies, guessing that they should be able to help the expedition team catch prey, and it would not be in vain to spend food to raise them.

Cao Bianjiao took a stroll around Yokohama Port and brought back two fluffy Caucasian puppies.Because of the full implementation of free trade in East Asia, all kinds of commodities in the world have gathered in East Asia, and even species from other places have begun to appear here.

When everyone in the expedition saw the two Caucasian puppies, they all came to watch curiously.

Caucasian puppies seem wary of strangers, growling and keeping their fur from being touched.

"It is said that these two dogs will weigh more than a hundred catties when they grow up. They are giant dogs from the West. I wonder if anyone has raised dogs before? If possible, they can take care of them. Maybe they will guard our camp in the future, or go hunting Helpful." Cao Bianjiao, as the captain of the expedition team, really has limited energy and cannot be distracted to take care of the two puppies.

"Captain, I have a few native dogs at home, I wonder if I can adopt them?" said Li Yizhu from the agricultural team of the expedition.

"Yes, yes, but I don't know the temperament of the giant dog from the West. What if a girl is bitten?" Cao Bianjiao hesitated.

"The Lord of the Army has already said that men and women should be equal. If I get bitten while raising them, it will be my responsibility. How can I have anything to do with women?" Li Yizhu said naturally.
