Haizhou, Yuzhou Island, Suchenggang.

The drums and music were played together, and the autumn wind was blowing from the northwest. In the autumn wind, the fierce mission guards were silently on board the ship under the leadership of their doctor. The teachers and students of Yuntai Academy waved farewell to them from afar, shouting auspicious words such as "smooth sailing" from time to time.

The waves were quite small, which made the sea ships in the port fluctuate. These ships were mobilized by the Jiehe Maritime Bureau of Wuhaogu, and most of them were rented. However, there was also a sea ship that used for sails of three thousand materials, which belonged to the newly established investment business of the Maritime Bureau.

The so-called investment business, as the name suggests, means that the Dasong Maritime Department of the Song Dynasty, which has to go out to attract foreign business, has corresponding institutions. However, Wu Haogu has taken it a step further and equipped the investment business of the Jiehe Maritime Department with sea boats. Without its own ship, it is not convenient to go out to recruit investment.

There are many bad people on the sea. The officials of the Song Dynasty were caught by bad people when they went out to invest in the sea. Isn’t it a detriment to the majesty of the Celestial Empire? So you have to equip the investment business with warships, which is safer...

As the saying goes, renting a boat is worse than buying a boat. Buying a boat is worse than building a boat. If you build a boat, you must start the boat yard and the Shipbuilding School! Anyway, Wu Haogu spared a lot of money to invest in this. With the support of the Wu family's sea merchants and the joining of the ship craftsman from Mingzhou, Mo Niang finally achieved some success.

And this small achievement is the three thousand-rich Haizhou Zhaocai No. 3,000-material Haizhou that appears on Suchenggang Wharf! Well, it has a very good name, and there is also an exact Jinbao No. 1, which is currently under construction in the shipyard of Jiehe Commercial City.

The Zhaocai House, which appears in Suchenggang, is constructed by Dujia and Dajiang sent by the Wu family. The Jinbao House under construction is hosted by a brother named Hua Manhai, a boatman named Hua Manhai, and the master craftsman is a student of the Naval Academy.

This naval school opened almost the same as the Yuntai Academy. It started to run a school in Tianya Town, Haizhou, and later moved to Jiehe Commercial City. Most of the teachers in the school were sent by the Wu family, and the students were from several families in the Wuhao Gu system, including the Wu family, Hua family, Ximen family, Zhang family, Su family, Wan family, etc. There were not many people, and the first class of students only had forty or fifty people, all of whom were learning to build ships. Therefore, all the sailors on the Zhaocai Ship were provided by the Wu family.

The courses of the Shipbuilding School are also systematic, including six courses including drawing, mathematics, shipbuilding materials, shipbuilding technology, water war equipment, ship handling (not serious sailing, but trial sailing for ships). The current academic system is three years, and there are two destinations after graduation, one is to stay in school, and the other is the shipbuilding yard of Jiehe Commercial City.

By the way, in order to allow the craftsmen to be at ease with their jobs, Wu Haogu has recently prepared to implement the "teaching title system". The crafting positions are divided into eight levels: chief engineer, senior engineer, senior engineer, senior engineer, middle engineer, secondary engineer, small workers, and final workers. Among them, the most senior chief engineer can get an annual salary of 5,000 horses, which is the same level as Wu Haogu himself! The low-level final engineer can also get an annual salary of 300 horses, which is more than the imperial court's ninth-rank officials...

On the dock of Suchenggang, two Song Dynasty military officers wearing green robes and swords were walking in a stroll. These two were Wu Haogu, and the other was Tong Guan, the deputy envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom, this time.

The mission to visit Goryeo has now been formed and reached Haizhou. The mission is unprecedentedly large in scale, including a military mission and a mission to visit Japan.

In fact, the missionary missions to visit Japan do not have to go through Goryeo, and they can travel directly from Haizhou to Hakata. However, Wu Haogu still chose the route to Goryeo, with the purpose of showing the "learning spirit" of Japanese Confucian scholars to the Goryeo people. All Confucian scholars in Japanese barbarian states have to learn "Theory of Heaven". How can Confucian scholars not learn?

Are Goryeo Confucian scholars worse than Japanese Confucian scholars?

With this excuse, Wu Yanchong was able to advise Wang Yong, the king of Goryeo, to introduce a doctor from Yuntai Academy to open a college in Goryeo.

"Dorf, I wish you all the best. In addition, when you arrive at the front line of Goryeo, you must be careful and don't be too aggressive. Goryeo people may be trapped in a hard battle..."

"Terrible battle? Why did Chongdao say this?"

"Because I'm so good at having a Jurchen! I have Jiehe Market. I have been dealing with various barbarians a lot in recent years and knowing how good they are. Look at those Bu Zhanshu slaves, they are all thick, solid, fierce and powerful, much more powerful than ordinary imperial guards."

"But the Koreans have an army of 200,000! How could they lose if they fight 200,000 or even thousands?"

Wu Haogu smiled faintly: "The logistics required by the 200,000 army is amazing... Can the Goryeo really afford it? I don't think. Although they can mobilize the army without much money by relying on the system of the palace, can they really maintain their long-term combat north of the Thousand Mile Great Wall?"

"It shouldn't be a fight for too long, right? I think it will be a quick battle..." Tong Guan smiled, "Actually, if Goryeo Kingdom is defeated, we will contact the Jurchens if it is defeated! Chongdao, have you sent an envoy to the Jurchens? At that time, it will be another contribution."

Wu Haogu pressed the sword and looked at Tong Guan. He suddenly sighed and smiled bitterly: "No matter how arrogant the Goryeo people are, they are also a country of etiquette. The Jurchens are barbarians, and the sudden rise of barbarians is the most difficult to deal with.

So the best strategy is to unite with Goryeo...Dorph, if you have the chance, you'd better remind the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo, so that they should not underestimate the enemy. If you can succeed in the slackland, build more cities and make long-term plans. It's better to fight against those barbarians... or you can kill more."

Kill a little more! Now that the Koreans kill one more Jurchen barbarian, will there be no less Jin soldiers going south in the future?

"I understand." Tong Guan smiled, "I have met Dangxiang on the battlefield in the northwest..."

When he said this, he saw Mi Youren walking over quickly, and when he saw Wu Haogu and Tong Guan, he bowed: "Teacher, Tong Daguan, Liu Zhengzhi, Huang Fuweng, and Su Zhongnan are here together."

Liu Zhengshi was Liu Kui. He went to Yuzhou Island yesterday and lived in Yuntai Academy. Although he was against Sumen Shixue, he was still very polite in terms of face. Last night, he had a drink and had sex with Huang Tingjian, Wu Haogu and others, and they didn't end until the hour of Hai. So I slept a little late today, and the entire mission almost got on the boat, so he arrived late.

Wu Haogu and Tong Guan looked at each other and smiled: "Doom, let's go and welcome them."

...

"Wen Fu, I really didn't expect that all the envoys of Japan have come. This is a big deal! Even if you are just a small official, it is unprecedented in this dynasty. You should send him to the court as soon as possible!"

"I understand... I have already told Wu Chongdao that I will arrange it as soon as possible."

"Zhongnan, after you arrive in Japan, don't just visit the Confucianism path. You have to have more contact with their Dazaifu. If you can promote the formal mission of the Song Dynasty, this will be a great contribution."

"The official understands..."

When Liu Kui, Huang Tingjian and Su Shi came to the dock, they talked about the Japanese envoy sent by the Song Dynasty, Muto, to kiss him, and that was Abiliu.

Muto, a yeshigu, came to study "Theory of Heaven and Rules" and invited a doctorate in the Yuntai Academy, so he did not need to go to Beijing to meet Song Huizong, and Wu Haogu did not want him to go to Kaifeng Prefecture.

However, when Liu Kui went to Yuzhou Island and saw Muto Kiichi in a noble costume and admired the white-pitch dance performed by Abiliuyu, he immediately suggested that Kiichi and Ayu go to Jing.

The last time Japan sent an envoy to visit was during the Tang Dynasty! It has been more than 200 years, and finally someone has come again. Isn’t this a reflection that the Song Dynasty had developed into a prosperous country with the prosperous civilized governance under the leadership of the official Zhao Ji (more than the wise leader)?

Although there were a few people sent to the Song Dynasty from Japan this time, there were only two people in total, but the quality was still good.

Moreover, Liu Kui and Huang Tingjian are both aware of people. When they see Muto Kiichi and A You's appearance and behavior, they know that they are not ordinary people. The aristocratic temperament is hard to disguise. Although Kiichi and A You are only from a country samurai family, they are not civilians after all. Especially A You have served the poor nobles of the Fujiwara clan who came from Heian Kyo. Although they are poor, they can't stand being poor and care about poverty! So A You still has a bit of a taste when pretending to be elegant.

However, Su Shi knew the inside story and felt guilty for a while. The two Japanese were cheating at Yuntai Academy, but if they entered the capital and became a saint, they would be deceiving the emperor... If they were to wear gangs, they would be in trouble with both Wu Haogu!

When Su Shi was worried, Wu Haogu, Tong Guan and Mi Youren had already welcomed each other. Two groups of people greeted each other on the dock, saying things on the scene, so they were so intimate.

After a few greetings, Liu Kui happily turned the topic to the two Japanese.

"Xuanzan, I have written a memorial and reported the situation of the Japanese envoy sent to the officials."

"The official also wrote the memorial and handed it over." Wu Haogu replied with a smile.

Liu Kui also said: "I also wrote a white-pitch dance on the memorial. Although it is not as good as the songs and dances of our Song Dynasty, it can be watched."

What's good about it? It's far worse than Mo's dance. Wu Haogu muttered in his heart, but said in shame: "Japan is a little polite and has its own poetry, music and dance, which cannot be compared with my China."

"That's natural," Liu Kui smiled, "but it's a big deal to be able to enter Japan. It's better to arrange them to go to Beijing as soon as possible.
