Perhaps for the Fusang people, Oda Nobunaga was considered the previous generation of heroes.

But to Xu Shiyang, he seems very annoying.

In 1790 last year, China purchased more than 2,700 slaves from famous names in various regions of Fusang, while the number of the previous year was more than 8,000, and the number of the previous year was 15,000.

In other words, with Oda Nobunaga's expansion and unification in Fuso, the empire's work of purchasing Fuso slaves to supplement the labor gap has become increasingly difficult to carry out.

"Actually, Fusang people are very useful." Li Feihu sighed: "I am very obedient and diligent, but I can't continue to do this business... By the way, his personality is very similar to your Highness. Some people call Oda Nobunaga 'Xu Shiyang of Fusang'."

For the country of Fusang, Oda Nobunaga is indeed a very anti-traditional figure. He calls himself a Buddhist but severely suppresses all the sects. Some people say he respects the emperor and some people say he suppresses the emperor. He seems to be good at learning new technologies.

For example, the muskets of China were the first to strongly support the introduction, and he also used these muskets to achieve brilliant battlefield victories.

Not only that, Oda Nobunaga also carried out several reforms in Fuso, including the separation of peasants and soldiers and the establishment of a professional army.

And conduct large-scale inspections to increase one's own authority and concentrate as many resources as possible into the war of unity.

From this point of view, he is indeed somewhat similar to Xu Shiyang.

However……

"It's enough to have Xu Shiyang in this world."

Xu Shiyang said bluntly:

"It's a good thing for a few more people like me in China. I don't care, but others can't."

The so-called heroes, my enemies, Xu Shiyang and the "wise kings" of foreign tribes will not appreciate each other.

"What should we do?" Li Feihu asked.

"Be prepared, we may react to an attack on the Fuso Oda family in a very short time."

"Want to start?"

"Yes, although not now." Xu Shiyang replied: "Try it first to see if we can defeat this guy by supporting the enemy of the Oda family. If it doesn't work, we will go into battle in person."

One day, China will personally join forces to annex Fusang, not because Xu Shiyang remembers the hatred in another plane, but because of more realistic interests: Fusang has a large amount of arable land, rich precious metal minerals such as gold, silver and copper, sulfur and limestone resources, and can also provide a large number of slaves.

This country is different from Goryeo. Goryeo is a poor place where comprehensive occupation of losses will lead to losses. Direct control of Fusang can bring a lot of benefits.

Of course, Fusang has a large population and is a place of long-term warfare. It is not easy to conquer it in full. At least a few years of war preparations must be made.

Another point is that Xu Shiyang is not particularly familiar with the history of the Warring States Period in another plane, but he knows that it was not Oda Nobunaga who ended the chaotic times in Fusang that unified Fusang in the end.

After him, at least there should be Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and then the Tokugawa Shogunate.

The history of this plane is different from that of Xu Shiyang when he came. He didn't know if the replacement of Oda, Toyotomi and Tokugawa would be carried out. However, since this is possible and it takes more time to prepare for the comprehensive conquest of Fusang, Xu Shiyang didn't mind waiting for a few more years.

If the empire had to face a split Fusang at that time, it would certainly be easier to deal with than a united country.

"Fusang can make some preparations in advance. The current strategic goal is to completely eliminate Wanyan Zonggan in the north and completely eliminate Taidao Pirate Group in the south."

Xu Shiyang ordered:

"Do these two tasks first."

...

I landed in the newly opened island city port in the north, paid a tax according to the rules of the north, and after I received a wooden sign as my identity certificate, I could move freely in the north.

It's really free. No one comes to monitor me, and there is no need to report to the government where I want to go in advance.

According to the families around me who often come to the north to have children, this is because I am a Han Chinese.

The north traditionally regarded all Han people as compatriots, and even if they were not citizens who had registered households in the north, they could enjoy the treatment of civilians. Only after they were clearly guilty of crimes would they be demoted to common people, and the Han people would not be demoted to slaves. The north would rather kill people than allow Han people to be slaves.

After hearing this, I realized for the first time that the north seemed to be deliberately promoting the status of the Han people.

I thought about it carefully. In the past, my friends and I distinguished China from barbarians and seemed to prefer culture as the standard, while the north seemed to attach more importance to bloodline.

Two days after arriving at Island City, I hired several ox carts pulled by two oxen to travel in several places in the north.

The frame of the ox cart is very high, with four wheels on both sides thin and long strips, and long stacked iron plates are installed under the frame. The driver who drove the car said that this is a leaf spring, which can reduce the vibration of the car and make it more comfortable.

I can't figure out why this is, and the coachman can't explain it clearly.

However, sitting in the car, I really can't feel any vibration, and it's very comfortable.

The only drawback is that the speed of the ox cart is very slow, and the speed of the whole group of ox carts is even slower.

Fortunately, I was not very bored in the car because I found that my coachman knew a lot and could hear a lot of fun news when talking to him.

———————Zhang Zong’s diary of the northbound journey

...

Zhang Zong was rich, so he chartered the car directly when hiring a ox cart. Yan Ming first gave him three months of car money. If he had fun, he would have a reward before leaving.

This is a big customer, so the coachman of several cars was almost dispatched by the whole family, and at least two coachman were equipped for each car.

For example, Zhang Zong's car is a coachman and his son who are on the battlefield together, taking turns driving for him, and also responsible for taking care of the camel bull.

"My cow is a black cow from Mobei!"

The coachman's father showed off to Zhang Zong with some pride:

"It's so great to pull the cart!"

"The old man is so diligent. He can leave his son with two cows and one car, and can support fifty acres of good land, right?"

Zhang Zong didn't mind chatting with the lower class people more, as long as it was fun, he had this personality.

"Hahaha, I think the harvest is better than fifty acres of good fields!"

The old coachman laughed:

"It's not all my own. I still have a loan in the bank."

"Do you have a lot of loans?" Zhang Zong asked with a smile.

The Zhang family also lends money in Jiangnan. Basically, ordinary tenants borrow more than ten chunks of money, so there is no need to think about paying it off within three generations.

"It's okay, not too little, but it's much better than when the head of the family was still there."

The old man smiled and said:

"I guess I can pay it off after working hard for ten years. But at that time, the cow shouldn't be able to pull the car, so I'll spare the next car."

"Well, cows can also sell meat and skin, but that's not worth it. You have to go to the bank to buy cows after that time."

When you go to the loan, you can borrow less, and then you may be able to repay the loan in 6 or 7 years, and when you take the third loan, you can be able to repay the loan in 3 or 4 years.
