Early in the morning of April 27, Lin Feng, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by Zhao Changsheng: "Mr. Lin, Fang Hongtian, Fang Hongdi and the others are back."

Lin Feng woke up suddenly and hurriedly got out of the house. He saw Fang Hongtian standing in front of the study with a haggard face. Fang Hongdi and the two brothers laughed and said, "Two brothers Fang, are we destined to be incompatible? From Chu to Liao, why can't you keep up with me every time?"

Fang Hongtian's face turned red and he stepped forward and bowed, "Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry. When we returned from Liao, we encountered the fleet of Zhou. We had to hide in the distant sea, but we encountered the strong wind again, and then drifted to Japan, and we were delayed until now before we came back."

"Floating to Japan, this big bend is so good." Lin Feng clapped excitedly, pulled the two into the house, and asked them to tell themselves carefully what they saw in Japan.

Fang Hongdi scratched his head and said first: "We were mainly on the Nanyang line before, and we had never been to Japan. However, this Japanese slave country felt very strange. It looked like China and not like China. The clothes, food and clothing, and houses were a bit inappropriate. By the way, Lord Lin, there are still people there to recite your poems."

Fang Hongtian glared at his brother fiercely, stopped his words and said solemnly:

"Mr. Lin, when we returned from Liao, we accidentally ran into more than ten Zhou warships near Dengzhou. They chased us relentlessly, so we had to escape east. The next day, we encountered a storm and rain, so the enemy ship stopped chasing us. We were held back by the wind and waves and lost our way for a while. There was no water and food on the ship. Later, we had to follow the guidance of an old shipman and sail to the nearest land, which is Hirado in Japan." Fang Hongtian started from the beginning, still looking lingering in fear.

"All the people on the boat are fine." Lin Feng asked with concern. Seeing Fang Hongtian nodding, he continued to ask, "Yes Hirado."

"According to locals, Hirado is the westernmost city in Japan. I heard that the Tang envoys who came to the former Tang Dynasty in the past all set out from Hirado." Fang Hongdi rushed to answer.

Lin Feng asked, "Then how long have you been there?"

"It's almost a month ago. Fortunately, Duan Zhengfang, who was caught by us, was caught. Someone in his family communicated with Japan. He could speak a few strange Japanese words. We told the locals that they came from China. As a result, they were warmly welcomed and quickly replenished the freshwater and grain. They originally wanted to set off directly, but several barbarians were drawn on the ship, all of whom wanted to take the things on our ship." Fang Hongtian said this and grabbed a cup of cold tea on the table and poured it down.

"We took out Lord Lin's name and claimed that this was a warship of the Tang Dynasty. Especially when we came here to contact their court, the attitude of the barbarians changed immediately. We invited us to visit their territory, but we all refused. Later, people kept getting on the boat to contact us, talking about the matter of communicating with our Tang Dynasty and cooperation." Fang Hongtian continued.

"Oh, what are their surnames?" Lin Feng was immediately interested.

"The surnames of those savages are all very strange. There are those with the surname Yuan and those with the surname Ping, but those with the surname Fujiwara are the most arrogant. As soon as they open their mouths, they will take over all the commodity trade between our Tang Dynasty and their Japanese countries. How can we make a decision? We have to go there with sloppy eyes." Fang Hongtian left a look of bitterness.

"What's their capital?" Lin Feng asked with interest.

"What is Ping Anjing? I heard it is exactly the same as the Chang'an City in the former Tang Dynasty." Fang Hongdi rushed to answer.

Oh, Lin Feng nodded suddenly. In ancient times, Japan mostly called an era by the name of the capital. At this time, Japan should be in the so-called Heian era.

It is recorded that the Heian era refers to the historical era of Heian Kyoto (Kyoto) as its capital. It began in 794 (the thirteenth year of Yanli) Emperor Kanmu moved the capital Heian Kyoto, and finally was established in 1185 (the first year of the Fuji period). It lasted for nearly 400 years. This era was the last era in ancient Japan. Not long after the abolition of slavery, Japan's national manor system was popular, allowing those who reclaimed arable land to permanently own arable land. These people combined into interest groups and merged the manors by force, gradually becoming the source of strength of martial artists in various places.

"How are they going to trade with us?" Lin Feng asked the question he was most interested in.

"There are four of them in total, and they all want to cooperate exclusively with our Tang Dynasty. As for goods, they propose nothing more than tea, porcelain, silk, salt, etc." Fang Hongtian replied.

"How are they going to change?" Lin Feng immediately asked.

"They said they had valuable silver, and another family actually said they wanted to exchange goods with us with their knife. These Japanese slaves were really ridiculous." Fang Hongtian shook his head and said.

Lin Feng heard it, although Japan is a country with poor resources as a whole, it is in a state of earthquakes and has a wide range of resources. Except for a few minerals such as coal, limestone, sulfur, and copper, the amount of other minerals is still acceptable, so it is called the "metal resource specimen country". However, it seems that Japan's silver and gold production were also widely imported into China in the later Ming and Qing dynasties.

Lin Feng took this into consideration and then asked: "They all call their country Japan."

"Yes, after they figured out our shouting, they refused to allow us to call them Japan or the Japanese sub-country, saying that they were "the country where the sunrise was" and could only be respected as Japan." Fang Hongtian said with a disdainful look on his face.

"Then you observe them, how are their martial arts and weapons?" Lin Feng smiled and asked what he was most interested in.

Fang Hongtian calmed down and thought for a while before answering: "It's just that, I just saw their leader showing off once a moment. At most, it's a lot worse than our special forces elites. However, judging from their figure and pace, their overall strength should be quite good. As for the weapons, they look very bright and scary, but I bet it's far from our special forces swords."

"Then you can observe their lives, are there anything worth noting?" Lin Feng pulled the topic to the idle place.

Fang Hongdi rushed to answer: "We stayed there bored and often went around nearby. We have been to many people's homes. They mainly eat rice balls, and some eat raw fish. They cut them into slices and dipped them in food. They are really barbaric."

"Don't talk nonsense, Lord Lin, I found that the people there were very respectful to us on the surface, but they seemed to look down on us in their hearts. Sometimes I think that if we had a good knife on the boat at that time, we would definitely let these people see it." Fang Hongtian said fiercely.

Lin Feng renewed the tea for them and signaled them to continue talking.

Fang Hongtian drank a cup of tea in one breath, wiped his mouth, and then said: "Whether these people say they are savage or fierce, they may draw their swords to face each other if they are wrong in a few words. Within twenty days, we witnessed three fights, all of which were fighting for the docks, and there were also casualties."

Lin Feng asked a few more details and found that there was nothing to pay attention to, so he praised and comforted them, asking each of them to go to Lu Jiang to get twenty coins. After returning, he contacted the Fang family and quickly prepared a batch of overseas goods and prepared to set off collectively on May 1st.

The two brothers left happily with the money.

Lin Feng thought for a while and called Chen Fei to pay attention to Kang Renjie. When he saw him, he took the list brought by Zhang Yuewen and started to look at it.

There are twelve names on the list who are planning to go to Shouzhou with him. In addition to Nie Xiaoying and Yuwen brother and sister, Ning Yufei, whom he recruited, Duan Xuan, the sales champion, and several sales experts. What surprised Lin Feng the most was that Liao Xianger's name was actually on it.

In an instant, Lin Feng's eyes looked like his girlfriend in his previous life, and the resentful look on her face when she saw Liao Xiang's childhood, and she suddenly became a little confused.

Just then, Duan Rui's voice came from outside the window: "Brother, Chen Fugui from the Coal Farm in North Cheng is eager to see you."
