Chapter 706

Su Xing's luck was much worse than Li Daoyuan's.

Instead of being able to sail safely along the northern route, his clipper ship encountered a storm.

Su Xing had tried his best to drive the clipper ship, but was finally blown to a more northerly place by the wind and waves.

An Sung-hyun is the son of An Shou-gyu, the ruler of Silla North Province, and his current position is the lookout on the Suhang clipper ship.

I have to say that the Silla man who was not pleasing to the eye in the previous life is indeed a good dog.

Ever since the An family took refuge in Datang in an all-round way, the main thing they focused on was loyalty.

This level of loyalty makes the players feel ashamed, and it can be said that the An family put all their wealth on Datang.

Now the entire North Silla Province is the same as the Datang colony. Merchants in Datang can freely enter and leave various ports in North Silla Province, and trade without collecting any taxes at all.

On the contrary, it was Silla merchants who entered and exited their own ports and had to pay a lot of fees to the ports.

In addition, a large number of silver and copper coins from Longyou also poured into North Silla, which was even more usable than Silla's own currency.

The ruler of the North Province of Silla was deeply tied to the Tang Dynasty, and his youngest son was assigned to Su Xing as a sailor.

However, this An Chengxian is not completely related. He is not a legitimate son and is not qualified to inherit the family business, so he participated in the family's business early on.

Such a second son can get a part of the family property after his father dies, so that he can ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing.

An Chengxian has participated in the family's maritime trade since he was a child. He is fluent in Han, Silla, and Fusang. In addition, he is smart at work. Su Xing likes this Silla person very much.

Except for the sea area near Datang, the player's map is plunged into fog.

But Su Xing was not in a hurry, he told An Chengxian:

"Bring me my sextant."

An Chengxian immediately took out a box from below the deck, and Su Xing began to fiddle with the equipment, and then wrote and drew on the paper.

In fact, as long as the sextant data is input into the computer, the latitude and longitude can be automatically calculated.

Su Xing did this for An Chengxian's calculation.

An Chengxian looked at it very seriously. When Su Xing finished his calculation, he took out the chart in his arms and found his position.

"Hey, it turned out to be blown to Hokkaido."

"Hokkaido?"

"It's Ezo."

"Oh, that's a long way from Nara."

Hokkaido was called Ezo in this era. Although Hokkaido was also a famous area of ​​Fusang in later generations, Hokkaido was not considered the homeland of Fusang in this era.

Because of the cold winter, Fusang people are keen to expand southward.

The Ainu people living in Hokkaido are not the same race as the Fuso people.

These Ainu people should be the Hu people in northern China, descendants of the Slavic ancestors living in the Far East. These people came to Hokkaido to recuperate and quickly expanded into a population.

Before the Fuso Meiji Restoration, Ezo had always played the role of the Fuso Vikings.

The word barbarian itself has the meaning of savage, and if Fusang people can call them savages, they are indeed uncivilized peoples.

On the other hand, the Fuso people on the main island are often beaten to the ground by the Ezo people.

The highest position of military attache in the Fusang court—General Conquering Yi, the target of the conquest is the Ainu people.

Today, there is still a large area of ​​territory in the northern part of Fusang Island being occupied by the Ainu people, but the Japanese King of Nara is just a coward, unable to attack these savages.

It was so far off target.

The whole ship knew about the sailing race and the whole ship was very upset.

However, Su Xing is in a good mood. Now he is not far from the Ezo Islands, and he will soon be able to see land.

Although he lost the game, the flying shear ship still did not sink in such a strong sea storm, which is enough to prove the reliability of the flying shear ship, and his own shipyard will definitely receive more orders in the future.

Sure enough, Ahn Sung-hyun saw the land a day later, and the sailors immediately manipulated the sails to bring the clipper ship to the shore.

But after docking in this natural port, a few wild men with thick hair jumped out of the jungle.

The sailors panicked, but Su Xing became excited: "Ezo people!"

All I saw were these savages holding stone weapons and making strange howls to everyone on board.

When these savages showed their weapons, the people on board were not afraid.

Su Xing simply pulled out his own knife and directly killed these savages.

While chopping down an Ezo warrior forcefully, Su Xing shouted, "Keep alive!"

An Chengxian immediately drew out his weapon and rushed up the second, but the result of the battle was no surprise. Facing the weapon gap that was nearly a thousand years behind, the Ezo people were completely defeated.

"An Chengxian, find someone who can communicate and take us to meet their leader!"

An Chengxian could also speak some Ainu dialect, so he found a Ainu captive and murmured a few words, the Ainu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and took Su Xing to their tribe.

The clipper ships in the Jiangdong area were launched one after another, and a full-scale sailing race began.

Not just the route to the Far East, players are gearing up and ready to explore a wider world.

In mid-September, Li Fuhai's boat finally arrived in Bao'an County.

Player Xu Hao was one of the seventeen sons of Longyou who participated in the Chang'an imperial examination. Later, he was awarded the magistrate of Bao'an County, and he happily went to Bao'an to take up the post.

Bao'an is a county under Guangzhou, and its government is located in Nantou. According to Chang'an's description, Lingnan Road is the place where prisoners are exiled. Places like Bao'an County should be full of miasma and cannibalism.

But after Xu Hao took office, he found that Bao'an County was similar to the Central Plains, and even more lively because of its proximity to the seaport.

However, because Lingnan Road avoided the war in the Central Plains, it still retained many scenes of the prosperity of the first year of Kaiyuan, but it was more prosperous than the Central Plains.

Later, when Xu Hao officially took office, he read the annals of Bao'an County and found out that Bao'an County was actually established very early. Bao'an County already existed when Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue at the end of Qin Dynasty, opened up Lingnan.

And Zhao Tuo's governance in Lingnan was quite successful. After the Sinicization of the Han Dynasty, some large towns in Lingnan Road are no different from the Central Plains.

The current Bao'an County also includes the entire Xiangjiang area. During the Tang Dynasty, merchants docked at the Xiangjiang port. Chaotang also set up an economic strategy army in Baoan to be responsible for land and sea defense.

This is a great place!
Xu Hao immediately realized the development potential of Bao'an County, and he immediately posted on the forum, recruiting many players to come.

Li Fuhai contacted Xu Hao through forum posts. Along the coastline, Li Fuhai sailed almost from the northernmost port of Datang to the southernmost port.

Although the feeling of seasickness was weakened through the game, such a long sea voyage still made Li Fuhai very painful.

Standing on the ground with both feet, Li Fuhai finally came back to life.

Xu Hao and his men had already greeted everyone at the pier. After the players disembarked, Xu Hao immediately asked the government servants to pull the carriage and took the players to Bao'an County Government.

"Finally I'm looking forward to you!" Xu Hao said while holding Li Fuhai's hand tightly.

Lingnan Road is really too remote. These days, Xu Hao worked hard to support him, and finally carried out some renovation projects in Baoan County. After the players arrived, he could finally continue to develop.

Li Fuhai was also secretly checking the cities in Bao'an County, and sure enough, like Xu Hao's post, this is a vibrant city.

Xu Hao said while introducing:
"There are [-] households in the Ding Register in Bao'an County, but there are many hidden households in Lingnan Road. The actual population may exceed [-] households, but I have no manpower and can't check them."

"The pier you just docked was built after I took office. Now that the maritime trade resumes, more than ten ships can dock every day."

Xu Hao said regretfully: "It's a pity that our Bao'an County has no special products except lychee, and lychee is easy to deteriorate and cannot be stored for a long time, so these ships just stop for supplies and leave, and the maritime trade has not yet started."

"I have already invested in the construction of a fruit wine workshop in Bao'an County. This time, I finally look forward to Sun Gong who knows how to make wine!"

A thin Baigong player in the carriage nodded slightly. Xu Hao was already familiar with him when he was on the boat. This is a Baigong player who was invited to build a fruit wine workshop in Bao'an County.

Seeing how lively Baoan County is, and seeing the ships from various countries docking at sea, everyone is full of confidence in the future development.

Compared with Longyou, where the law and order problems are serious, and the post-war appeasement work is complicated in the Central Plains, Bao'an County is undoubtedly a hot land that has not yet been developed.

Players deeply influenced by the ocean era of later generations are full of beautiful reverie for coastal areas.

On a foreign merchant ship that was hit by a storm, the captain and sailors were praying, but their prayers were quickly answered, and the lookouts had already seen seagulls.

Seagulls are water birds that only move around land and islands, which means there must be land nearby!
The captain was overjoyed, and the lookout soon brought another piece of good news. He saw a port!
