Chapter 1705 Returning Home in the Rain, the Boat Is Moored Outside
Perhaps it was the same cloud, which rained from Jingzhao Prefecture to Henan Prefecture, and then ran to the sea, changed direction, and floated to Japan.
A fleet was covered by clouds, and the rain fell with a clattering sound, and the wind was also strong.
Fortunately, everyone had experience, and the boat was strong enough, so the sails were still adjusted and never lowered.
Seeing that they were about to get home, the people of the Nantian family were anxious. They were short of food, and after hiring people, they had to feed them.
The fleet was much larger than the team that exchanged with the Tang Dynasty. Generally, when communicating with the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent hundreds to thousands of people and four ships.
Like Abe no Nakamaro, and the monk Daoci brought things and information back to Japan, also four ships.
This time, the Tang Dynasty replenished large ships in Henan Prefecture, and the small ships were not needed. A total of 30 large sea ships and a large number of people were gathered to go to Japan together.
Prepare to do business and bring things back, crude copper, silver of low purity, and gold.
Lan Bao also brought pearls before, but this time he doesn't want pearls unless they are of very good quality.
Li Yi wants things to issue currency, and pearls have a shelf life.
People on the coast of the Tang Dynasty can fish for medicinal pearls, so there is no need for Japan.
Li Yi wants to eat dried abalone from Japan, but unfortunately the production process of dried abalone in Japan is not good enough now, mainly because of the abalone problem, Hokkaido is not under the jurisdiction of Japan.
Other places eat fresh abalone more often, how to transport fresh abalone?
Lan Bao and Kazuko Minami sat in the cabin and looked out through the window.
There was a long window sill outside the window, and there was no glass on the window. The window sill helped to block the rain, but even so, raindrops were still blown in.
The boat was shaking, and the tea on the table was rising and falling.
Kazuko Minami had a calm expression and blinked from time to time.
Lan Bao was very excited, probably the kind of person who likes cloudy days.
"When we go back, the tribesmen can have enough food. The ducklings are just coming out. We raise ducks by the sea and bring piglets. If a few of them die, we are not afraid."
Lan Bao said as he drank some water. It didn't matter if it was cold.
Nan Tianhezi turned his head and smiled: "In the future, the area around the Nan Tian family will be the Tang Dynasty, right?"
"I don't know. It depends on what Li Dongzhu thinks. It's easy for him to destroy the country. Japan didn't have the current territory at the beginning. The emperor is still whoever is stronger will be the emperor."
Lan Bao didn't lie. He coaxed Nan Tianhezi and said that the Tang Dynasty would not be like this.
In Lan Bao's view, Nan Tianhezi is his family, not a member of the Nan Tian family.
"The Nan Tian family should be very happy to live like the people in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty."
Nan Tianhezi has no loyalty to his country. The people have a hard time and are always fighting. They learn from the Tang Dynasty to divide the country into different regions.
Then the big and small families fight for positions and fight each other.
In addition, there are robbers and robbers, wandering around.
Many people have no surnames. They learn the rent and labor service of the Tang Dynasty, but they are not given permanent land. When a person dies, the land is taken back, even if it is the land they cultivated themselves.
No one likes to farm, and all kinds of people escape. I heard that there are fewer people escaping in the Tang Dynasty now.
Why should I guard such a country? It has nothing to do with me.
"Some places are okay, but the whole of Japan wants to be the same as Chang'an. It's a dream. Our Tang Dynasty can't do it."
Lan Bao curled his lips. Only the Nantian family can do it. Li Dongzhu supports it behind the scenes.
"The Tang Dynasty has coal mines, and asphalt can be turned into kerosene and gasoline, which can be better smelted and used. This time I brought a lot of books, and I have to prevent others from learning."
Nantian Kazuko began to think about her "family". After the envoys collected things, they also sent them to Heijokyo, and there were also envoys' families, such as the Tengyuan family, the Abe family, and the Shimomichi family...
People in other places can't learn it, and they bring it back to the Nantian family, and they enjoy better treatment than Heijokyo.
"Master Li said that Japan has coal mines, but he won't provide the location. The coke we brought on the ship is useful, so don't burn the cement. Next time we ship cement over, Master Li will teach others to burn cement, but it will be hard for others to burn wood!"
Lan Bao wanted to laugh when he said this. The technology of the cement plant was made public, and all countries got it, but it was a pity that it was useless.
Burn the wood hard in the kiln, even if it is finally burned, the cement is not good, and it has to be ground.
"There are ships, there are ships parked at our dock, three ships." The people of the Nantian family rushed in and shouted.
He was anxious, thinking that someone was attacking the family, and he didn't know what was going on in the family.
'Woo~~~Woo~~~' The horn sounded, followed by a series of dense drum sounds 'Dongdongdongdong~~~'
Swish, swish, swish, the small flags on the flagship were pulled up in a string, and the combination of the flags was different. Looking through the telescope, other ships began to disperse.
The ships responsible for the battle rushed forward, adjusted the sails, and the transport ships went around.
The Tang navy ran to the deck with crossbows and hook guns, ready to board at any time.
The person in charge of boarding was bare-chested, with a shield in one arm and a long-handled axe in the other.
The Yulin Flying Cavalry found a high position to set up single-shot muskets, and they were responsible for sniping.
Lan Bao still sat by the window drinking tea: "No one can beat our team now. These thirty ships can block the army of Heijokyo on the shore and prevent them from going out to sea."
"The Nantian family is also fine. They have hired many people, but they are afraid that someone will betray and attract foreign enemies to attack."
Nantian Kazuko is certainly not afraid of fighting a naval battle. The thirty ships are warships of the Tang Dynasty.
She just doesn't want to see the Nantian family die after landing, the children fall to the ground, and the rain mixed with blood flows.
"Our own people, three ships have raised the flag, the national flag of the Tang Dynasty, with a bright yellow background, embroidered dragons, and vermilion Tang characters." Someone else reported.
"Force it." Lan Bao was in a better mood, but he was afraid that the other party would cheat.
In fact, how can three docked ships fight a naval battle with others? Even if three hundred ships were docked at the dock, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net would still be useless and could only be beaten.
Fortunately, when it rains, it will catch up with the sunny days, and wait until it turns into a sea of fire.
As we got closer, some people stood on the shore, and some stayed on the boat without weapons.
A group of people standing on the shore shouted in unison: "Labao, don't look at the gun, it's me~~~!"
"Ask who they are." Lan Bao was depressed, I don't know you.
"Who are you?" shouted the people on the boat.
"Zhang Ruibo, a descendant of the Zhang family in Jinjiang, Quanzhou~~~" someone on the shore shouted.
"Come to the shore, why did the person that Boss Li mentioned come here?" Lan Bao was completely reassured.
If there were real enemies, it would be impossible to understand them so thoroughly.
A ship docked, and people with weapons surrounded Zhang Ruibo and others. The others sent the piglets, chickens, ducks, and goslings off first.
The patriarch of the Nantian family was also on the shore. He and the surrounding Nantian family members looked excitedly at these large ships without even holding up their umbrellas.
"How are you, sir?" Lan Bao greeted his father-in-law first. When he was down and out, he took good care of him.
"Lanbao, you and Hezi are back, and they are all big boats!" The clan leader Nantian Daokang was happy, thinking that he had exchanged a lot of food.
"Small boats are easy to capsize, but big boats are stable and can carry more supplies. This time we went there and brought back extra things. Together with the livestock and poultry from before, we will soon have a lot of meat to eat."
Lan Bao introduced, then turned to look at Zhang Ruibo: "Why did you come here?"
"Come and take a look, this will be the safest place from now on."
Zhang Ruibo is happy, he regards his current location as an overseas base.
