Of course, Shao Er Dongshang didn't have any good intentions when he gave the Osumi Islands to Zhen Qian, the reason why Shao Er Dongshang was so cheerful was that he didn't care about any broken islands at all, and the islands hanging overseas were not very strong at all in the era of backward information and communication, and the island could not get anything except a little food, so it was better to give it away.

After occupying Osumi Country, he had invited Zhen Qian to come to Osumi Country for the second time, and even talked about Aoi Ji's unborn child, the real purpose was to pull Zhen Qian to his own front.

Of course, Zhen Qian is not stupid, it is okay to sell weapons and equipment to Shao Erdong, but it is not yet time to let Zhen Qian express his position now.

At the same time, Zhen Qian is also on guard against what bad intentions Shao Er Dongshang plays, stupid things that go deep into the tiger's den can only be found in the inside, there is that hero in history who has done such stupid things, isn't this looking for death? It is because the Hongmen Banquet is too dangerous that it will be passed down by word of mouth to this day, and this kind of thing is impossible to replicate.

Zhen Qian took Wang Tianxing around the Osumi Islands, although Shao Er Dongshang moved a large number of Japanese people back to Osumi Province, but there were still a few Japanese people who were unwilling to leave, secretly fled into the mountains and forests, and waited until the officials stationed on the island left before coming out again, only to find that the island was almost empty.

However, the Japanese people who stayed on the island were not alarmed, without the exploitation of the government, the Japanese people on the island were about to go crazy when they looked at the land left behind, if it were not for the fact that a large island was too big for an individual, the Japanese people on these islands would like to take all the reclaimed land for themselves.

It is a pity that the Japanese people on these islands have not yet rejoiced, and they found a group of strangers, although the number is not many, only five or six hundred, but they are obviously not of good nature, and they are so frightened that they once again fled into the mountains and forests, trembling and not daring to show their faces.

This time, Zhen Qian came from the Wufeng Islands, mainly to control the two main islands of Tanegashima and Yakushima, and brought 600 soldiers and 500 craftsmen, of course, the soldiers played a protective role, and as for the craftsmen, they were ready to build a dock and a military castle on each of the two islands.

Both Tanegashima and Yakushima have small towns and houses left behind after the evacuation of Osumi Province officials, but in Zhen Qian's eyes, they are shabby and belong to illegal buildings that have been demolished.

The two main islands of the Osumi Islands are basically in the primitive stage of slash-and-burn agriculture, and even the land that has been reclaimed is less than one-twentieth of the land area. In later generations, the two main islands were famous for their food, and in addition to feeding more than 2 million people on the island, they were also rich in food.

Of course, Zhen Qian did not expect to be able to relocate two million people, if he could resettle three or four hundred thousand people, it would be enough to shock everyone in the era of the Tang Dynasty.

You must know that Zhen Qian's previous investigation, the total number of Japanese people on the two main islands did not exceed more than 10,000, if it could really accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, Shao Er Dongshang would not give it to Zhen Qian.

Zhen Qian quickly discovered a problem on the island, whether it was Tanegashima or Yakushima, the area of each main island was equivalent to the sum of all the islands of the Five Peaks Islands combined. Then there is a problem, such a large island, stuffing tens of thousands of people is like pouring a cart of stones into a lake, and if you want to reclaim a large area of land, you can't do it without a large number of livestock.

The problem is that the livestock of the Wa Kingdom is also a scarce species!

If you want to reclaim the most farmland in a large area in a short period of time, you need to transport countless cattle and horses, but the problem is that Zhen Qian has no cattle and horses in his hands, so he can only transport them from the north of Datang.

The beginning of eternity is difficult, that is to say, this is the case!

At present, Zhen Qian's situation is that he lacks everything except money.

If you want to transport cattle and horses from the north of the Tang Dynasty, you need to build more large cargo ships, and with cargo ships and experienced sailors, there is still a shortage of people in the end.

Zhen Qian still doesn't know that Zhen Shi has arrived in the Wufeng Islands and transported more than 1,000 people, but it is not very useful to know it, what a drop in the bucket!

The Osumi Islands could not develop in a short period of time, Zhen Qian sadly found that no matter what he thought, it was a dead circle that could not be solved, there was a shortage of people, the speed of shipbuilding was slow, and there was a ship that needed sailors to drive, even if the training of sailors was to catch ducks on the shelves, it was impossible to train them in a very short time with the method of a master with three apprentices, in the final analysis, the population base was too small, if there were a few million people, how could you say that you could find out 18,000 sailors.

The only thing I can think of now is to transport some more people from Datang.

Fortunately, in recent years, the Tang Dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters, serious land annexation, and a large number of people have been displaced.

Zhen Qian returned to Saga Town depressedly, and saw Zhen Shi, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, in Saga Town, Zhen Qian was also stunned for Zhen Shi's appearance, and he didn't know why Zhen Shi came to the Wa Kingdom.

Qingyan was dressed in a long fuchsia dress, half-hidden on her snow-white breasts, a pale green ribbon around her waist completed a beautiful bow, her delicate cheeks were free of any fat powder, and a jasper hairpin ......was inserted in her high upturned bun.

Zhen Shi's gaze did not stay on Qingyan's delicate body for a moment, but his gaze swept over Qingyan's feet slightly, and the anklets made of colorful gems on the jade feet were particularly eye-catching, but these were not the point, the pair of white jade feet were wearing a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes, the style of the shoes was a little strange, the front was low and the back was high to form a slope, and the whole person of Qingyan would appear to be exceptionally tall and ......tall whether he was standing or kneeling.

Seeing Zhen Shi's gaze fall on his jade feet, Qingyan consciously showed off, raised Qianqianyu and pointed at the green silk floating on his sideburns, and that smile made people feel like a spring breeze.

Zhen Qian rolled his eyes, knowing that Qingyan began to show off in front of others again, wasn't he just wearing a pair of slope heels from later generations? If it weren't for the fact that real high heels require a steel sheet with excellent flexibility, I would have made high heels a long time ago, and I wouldn't have made a high heel that is somewhat similar to flatform shoes.

However, Zhen Qian's mind at this time was not on Qingyan, this time Zhen Shi's visit to the Wa Kingdom was not a big deal, Wang Qun was worried that Zhen Qian did not know what happened to Datang in the Wa Kingdom, and at the same time asked Zhen Shilai to ask himself, what to do next.

Zhen Qian had already learned about what happened in Datang through other channels, so he was not surprised to see Wang Qun's letter, but was a little puzzled by Zhen Shi's desire to pass through the Ryukyu Islands and Keelung Port.

"Master, this summer, there was a great drought in Huainan, Henan Province and other places suffered a locust plague, and many displaced people went south to Jiangnan and other places, so that the already tense Jiangnan appeared unstable, and all states and counties are driving out the displaced people under their rule, and some displaced people have gathered together, and there is something big about happening?"

"You mean, at this time, take advantage of the chaos to pass through the Ryukyu Islands and Keelung Harbor?" Zhen Qian immediately guessed the meaning of Zhen Shi's words.

"Yes, master?" Zhen Shi did not hide his thoughts, and it was best not to beat around the bush when talking to Zhen Qian, which would cause Zhen Qian's suspicion and unhappiness, "We can first occupy a main island of Ryukyu, transport the natives on the island to the Wufeng Islands, or Keelung Port, and then transport a group of displaced people from Datang to assimilate the local natives, which not only eliminates the hidden dangers, but also occupies the Ryukyu Islands and Keelung Port in advance!" ”
