Yongning City Wharf.

The Golden Eagle leaned against the newly built deep-water pier, and the White Falcon was also on the side. Song Luofeng, who came out of the captain's room, saw his sailors driving the natives out of the boat with sticks and whips, making the pier in chaos. The children's crying and screaming kept coming. Song Luofeng hurried over and cursed, "Hey, you idiots, don't treat these barbarians roughly. They are the tribes of Bahai and Wumu. If Bahai knows, he will definitely settle the score with me."

The sailor put away his whip and pulled Song Luofeng to the artillery deck. Song Luofeng was instantly blocked by a stinking smell. He almost vomited it out. The sailor said, "Captain, look at these barbarians, eating, drinking, defecation and sensation here. This is the Golden Eagle, your ship!"

Song Luofeng covered his nose and saw the dirt all over the ground, and a lot of garbage and excrement were pasted on the expensive and cute twelve-pound cannons. He couldn't help but be furious: "Why don't these rough barbarians go to the bow of the ship to shit? They have to be here? No wonder they can't live long."

Song Luofeng, who was shouting, picked up the stick and ran out, about to beat the charming Qi Lie who was riding on the Golden Eagle, but the captain of the White Falcon was looking at him with a laugh. Song Luofeng asked, "Lao Lei, why are you laughing?"

"Look at our White Falcon, it's very clean. No one is shitting in the cargo hold, and no one dares to spit anywhere." The White Falcon captain said, and he shouted a few words. Kawaharada Hiewe came from the lower deck. The White Falcon captain said, "This Japanese man is very diligent. If you don't let him get on your ship, you'll suffer a loss now. Kawaharada Hiewewe, you've done a good job. I'll treat you to a drink later."

The two were ridiculing each other, and Umu appeared at the dock and said to Song Luofeng: "Captain Song, my master asked you and Kawaharada to go to the meeting hall."

Song Luofeng muttered: "It's not a day of silence, when can I rest for a day?"

Song Luofeng had been busy for dozens of days, transporting the Uzara tribe and the unused laborers and craftsmen to Yongning City, turning the Vladivostok Fort into a real military fortress, leaving only one hundred gunners, three hundred charming archers and four hundred Soren soldiers transported there, plus gunners, craftsmen, grooms, prostitutes and sergeants, a total of about one thousand three hundred people. This number can make Vladivostok Fort more comfortable and enough to defend the castle.

When Kawaharada Hitoe walked into the conference hall, he saw a group of indigenous leaders sitting honestly on the ground, listening to the explanation of Li Mingxun, who was sitting high on the chair. Over the past month, he had only learned simple Chinese and was not enough to understand Li Mingxun's words, so he had to stand aside and observe quietly.

When he was in Vladivostok, Kaharada Hieme had already heard of Li Mingxun's conquest of the East China Sea, and he did not regret his decision that day. In his memory, Japan took hundreds of years to conquer the barbaric Ekima tribe, and the man in front of him did it in just one month. In front of him, he spoke passionately, and the barbarian leaders below were all convinced. Kaharada Hieme said in his heart: "When our ancestors were in charge of a country, they were not as powerful as Lord Li."

Li Mingxun didn't know what the Japanese around him were thinking. He was explaining a temporary trade rule to the leaders of each tribe, that is, to temporarily open up some of the trade privileges of the inner vassals to the outer vassals.

This is a consistent request from all the leaders of the tribes. They couldn't wait to get enough cotton, salt and iron tools, but they didn't want to make a choice before the situation was clear. Li Mingxun also wanted to expand the scope of trade and obtain as much fur ginseng and antler produced by Nuergandosi as possible. The iron tools specially provided for the inner vassal are open to the outer vassals, but the quantity is limited, and only high-priced iron pots, axes, scissors, etc., iron ingots, iron arrows and spear tips are still only available for the inner vassals. Cotton and cloth are not limited, but some of them are distributed.

All the leaders were happy. Li Mingxun laughed and clapped his hands. A man walked up. It was Sambar, a Genoa craftsman. Unlike before, he wore a python robe that was not very fit, and held a scepter in his hand. The scepter was made of oak, decorated with white horse mane, hawk feathers and animal bones. It looked wild and mysterious. Li Mingxun pointed at Sambar and said, "This man is my patrol in the East China Sea. The scepter in his hand represents my presence. In the future, he and his subordinates may appear in the territory of any of you. Please provide them with security protection and material supplies. See this face clearly. Don't remember it wrong."

A slightly younger leader laughed and said, "We may forget this face, but we will never forget his wooden legs. Well, our tribe will treat this wooden legs inspector kindly."

Li Mingxun ignored the joke, and Tabai asked: "Will this inspector intervene in the internal affairs of our tribe?"

"No, he does not have this authority. His mission is to establish contacts with various ministries and investigate tribes in the East China Sea, explore resources and minerals." Li Mingxun said with a smile.

Everyone nodded and no longer had any objections to this, so they left the chamber. Li Mingxun ordered people to open the map and said to Sambar: "Your most important task is to figure out the resources of this land. The two sides of Heilongjiang include Sakhalin Island, which have countless mineral deposits, gold, silver, copper and iron, coal mines, and of course timber. I hired two prospecting experts from the East India Company and gave them all to you."

Lee Mingxun walked off the stage, knocked Sambar's wooden legs with a sword, and said, "When you finish this, I will cast a pair of prosthetics for you with gold. Although it is a bit heavy, it is absolutely noble and gorgeous."

"Your Excellency, there will be a day when Sambar will not disappoint you." Sambar whispered.

Li Mingxun patted his shoulder, signaled him to prepare, and then asked: "Captain Song, how are the situations of the Golden Eagle and the White Falcon?"

Song Luofeng: "The bottom of the ship is very clean, there are no barnacles and shipworms, and there is no leakage. There is no problem except for the need to repair the sails and clean up the cabins that the barbarians dirty."

Li Mingxun nodded and handed Song Luofeng a sign and said, "The big warehouse is full of fur, ginseng, fungus and pine nuts that have been traded for a month, but our goods are at the bottom. You go to the big warehouse, load the goods on the ship, take two ships back to Budai Port, and hand them over to Lin Cheng."

When Song Luofeng heard that he was going back, his face became serious. Li Mingxun said: "Before entering the port, pay close attention to the situation in Budai Port. If you have started a war with the Dutch, go to Jiangnan. If not, let Lin Cheng hand over the news summarized by Taiwan and Hong Kong to you. This list is what we need, and the quantity is huge. So when you return, you must escort the cargo ship back and must return before it snows."

After dealing with this matter, Li Mingxun turned around and walked into the back hall of the conference hall, which was filled with wine and food. Li Mingxun sat at the dining table and was having lunch, while Kawaharada Binge followed in and knelt down next to Li Mingxun, while Li Mingxun seemed to have not seen him and was still eating.

Perhaps it was because there was a stove for boiling water in the room, or in the hot summer weather in June, Kawaharada's heavy clothes were sweating quickly. The dampness on his body made him feel particularly uncomfortable. The beads of sweat on his face rolled down, but he still didn't dare to wipe it. The reason was very simple. The man around him determined his future destiny, whether to be a smuggling vendor, or a hero who revived his family and revitalized his family.

After a long time, Li Mingxun asked with a smile: "Kawarada Hieme, don't you eat some together?"

Kawaharada Hitoe hurriedly said, "As your subordinate, Kawaharada Hitoe is not qualified to have the right to have a banquet with you, so you must not."

David, who was the translator, expressed Kawaharada's words clearly and shrugged. Li Mingxun smiled and said, "The letter sent by Manager Song is already very clear. In the past month in Vladivostok, you, Kawaharada's prisoners, have organized into teams to supervise them to build two walls and trenches from the castle to the dock. You are now a formal employee of our trading company."

After hearing the last sentence, Kawaharada Hiewe naturally had a Japanese understanding in his mind - I, Kawaharada Hiewe, is already a retainer of Lord Li Mingxun, and share the same kindness with him.

Kawaharada Hieme was so excited that he couldn't control himself, but David asked: "Kawaharada Hieme, as your subordinate, have you not realized the enlightenment of obeying orders?"

"Yes, Kawaharada Eiyuki is a kid who is an adult, and he will sacrifice his life, and he will not hesitate to do so." Kawaharada Eiyuki said loudly and stood up.

Li Mingxun nodded and asked casually: "I remember when I was on the boat, you said you were a smuggling merchant from Nengguo, but my people heard you declare to the pirates and North Korean prisoners that you are the direct descendant of the Honma tribe of Sado Guo. Which one is true?"

Kawaharada Hitoe hurriedly said, "Sir, it's all true."

"Tell me," Li Mingxun said with a smile.

Kawaharada Hoe explained that this guy's ancestor was originally just a prostitute of a Japanese daimyo. He took advantage of the Mongol invasion of Japan to dominate Sado and became a guardian of a country. His ancestors also assigned their families to various places in Sado and made their land according to many Japanese daimyos. In addition to their own families, most of the divisions in various places were named locally. This is how the Kawaharada clan came from. Unfortunately, in the era of war, the Sado country, which had less than 20,000 stones, was repeatedly invaded by foreign enemies. After the weak family, several divisions also raised troops one after another, and finally took advantage of the foreign enemies. The Honma clan was destroyed by the Uesugi clan of the Warring States Period. The Kawaharada clan went to live in the Nodeng Peninsula and became the land there. Other divisions were either destroyed or transferred, and the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed.

"Is the reason why you are willing to follow me is to regain Sado's country?" Li Mingxun asked.

Kawaharada Uei hurriedly said, "No, sir, I must not have such inappropriate thoughts. I just want to revive the family."

It’s not that Kaharada Hitoe is unwilling, but that he does not have the courage. Today’s Japan is no longer a Warring States period when heroes are rising. The Tokugawa Shogunate turned Japan into a country of peace, and the Tokugawa Shogunate is also a behemoth. In the eyes of Kaharada Hitoe, perhaps Lee Myung-hoon can compare to an ordinary foreign daimyo, but he absolutely cannot confront the Tokugawa Shogunate. Japan is definitely the main trading target for the sea merchants who can sail here, and it is even more impossible to damage trade for themselves.

Li Mingxun smiled: "You are a self-aware person and have great talent. Now I will give you a chance to prove your talent and loyalty."

Kawaharada Tomoe said solemnly: "I should do my best. If I cannot complete the tasks assigned by the adults, I would rather commit suicide by having a caesarean section!"

Li Mingxun shook his head helplessly, not interested in self-harm behaviors like Japanese. He took out two deer-skin bags from his pocket and threw them to Kawaharada Hitoe, saying, "You are Sado, you should know what this is."

Kaharada Hiewe touched it and saw that one was hard block inside and the other was like sand. When I opened it, I found that it was all golden. Kaharada Hiewewe said: "One is a dog-headed gold, and the other is a golden sand."

"This is a small Sauron tribe used to buy cotton and salt. It is said that the man got it from the tribe's rivers and mountains. What do you think?" Li Mingxun asked.

Kawaharada Hiroei said with great certainty: "This means there is a gold mine there, and there is also a golden sand in the river, which is definitely a big gold mine."

Li Mingxun smiled, opened the map, pointed to the upper reaches of Heilongjiang and said, "The small tribe of Soren is in this location, called Humal, which means that there is no sunshine in the high mountain canyon. I have left my guide. Kawaharada Hieme, are you willing to go out for me, attack the Kitayama Wild Man, and seize this gold mine?"

"The villain is willing, but I just don't know how many soldiers you are willing to give?" Kawaharada Hoeme asked.

Li Mingxun touched his chin: "I can give you three paddle boats. If it is not enough, you can buy a barbarian canoe. Well... the troops are in force, I can give you fifty Han Chinese medlets and one hundred barbarian soldiers, fully equipped. By the way, you can also choose those Korean prisoners and Japanese pirates at will, as long as they are willing to give it to you."

"Then do you have any requirements?" Kawaharada Hoeba asked.

Lee Myung-hoon said: "Beat the savage tribes there before the snow falls in winter and build a winter camp support point. At the beginning of next spring, Sambar will lead the craftsmen and slaves to go to collect gold."

Kawaharada Hitoe knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "I must serve you with death and seize this gold mine for you."

"You can see that you are very satisfied with this Japanese man. If he completes this task for you, how do you prepare to reward him? Will you really help him restore his country?" David asked.

Li Mingxun smiled: "I can't afford to offend Japan, now, but if I have the chance in the future, it will not be a problem to fulfill this wish for him."

"Why?" David asked in confusion.

Lee Mingxun laughed: "Since Dagama opened up a route to the East, you Thai countries have been looking for the legendary Treasure Island, British, Dutch, Portuguese and Spaniards, and there is no exception. I can tell you responsibly that if there is Treasure Island in the East, it is Sado Island where Sado Country is located."

"Take it seriously?" David asked in shock.
