In the Jiangnan area, the autumn rain began to rage again. Today, Gao Zhang braved the annoying autumn rain and stood on the Suzhou Pier.
Of course he would not stand in the misty drizzle that made his whole body feel uncomfortable.
Instead, he sat in a shed on the dock. There was a large iron stove inside, which radiated heat wantonly.
Jean sat in the big shed that was sealed on three sides, with only the side facing the dock direction and only covering the lower half, waiting peacefully for the return of those old friends who had gone to foreign countries.
Presumably Cai Laoliu and Tong Zhisheng must be feeling very unhappy. After all, in Fusang Country, they enjoy the treatment of the Tu emperor.
Even the leader of Fusang Kingdom nodded and bowed in front of them, not daring to offend these two men at all.
He provided them with delicious food and drinks, for fear that they would be unhappy or find Fusang Kingdom too boring and return to the Song Dynasty.
It was the stay of the two of them that naturally gave thousands of elites from the Song Dynasty a reason to stay on Fusang Island and helped those Fusang Kingdom solve a lot of troubles.
The fundamental reason why they have to return now is that the official issued an order for them to return to the country and accompany Gao Zhang back to Beijing to report on their duties.
As soon as the imperial edict arrived, they naturally did not dare to murmur. They shouted that the emperor would be outside and that the emperor's orders would not be granted. This was just pretentious talk.
They can ignore their biological father's words, but they really don't have the guts to tell Jun Ming.
Over the past few days, official Zhao Ji felt that his Yi Man disciple had successfully proven how awesome his abilities were in Suzhou.
You must know that this year, due to Gao Zhang's iron fist, Suzhou implemented double-cropping rice planting in Suzhou, causing Suzhou's total grain output to reach an extremely astonishing figure.
Even the imperial court could no longer calm down and asked for official permission to comprehensively promote the planting of double-season rice in the Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road areas.
Moreover, not only has Suzhou's grain output increased dramatically, but more importantly, in the past year or so, Suzhou's industrial and commercial tax revenue has more than tripled compared to before Gao Zhang arrived in Suzhou to govern.
These outstanding results left everyone speechless.
Coupled with Gao Zhang's operation, the king of Japan was directly set ablaze with a fire, which can be regarded as a fierce vent for the master.
Official Zhao Ji felt that it was time for his beloved disciple to return to Beijing to be rewarded for his unparalleled achievements.
Furthermore, there was the most powerful old bald man in the Japanese country, Emperor Shirakawa, who had accumulated power for decades.
After experiencing a series of Japanese defeats and suffering severe physical and mental injuries, he finally closed his eyes in despair in Nara.
And Naping Masamori, the leader of the Ping clan who was entrusted with an important task by him, took over the command of the northern warriors.
Without hesitation, he led his troops and horses, escorted the important ministers, and evacuated to Dajin.
And with absolute military command, he unsurprisingly became the minister of government who threatened the emperor and ordered the princes. Guan Bai also asked his son Taira Taira no Mori to marry the Emperor Ehito.
In addition, he also took the initiative to send an envoy to negotiate peace with the Fusang country, and was willing to become a brotherly state with the Fusang country.
It can be said that with the death of Emperor Shirakawa, the northern samurai group, which represented the military strength of the government, became Taira Masamori's biggest reliance on intimidating the Japanese master.
However, Taira Masamori's actions aroused the dissatisfaction of the Genji, and many of the Genji forces who were still loyal to the Emperor Shirakawa rebelled one after another.
Many people even fled directly to Fusang and joined the subordinates of Na Yuan's sworn relatives.
All in all, after the death of Emperor Shirakawa, the old forces of Japan have become a piece of loose sand.
The next step is to start business slowly. I believe that as long as Li Zhongsong's brain is not broken, or he does not die suddenly and prematurely.
It won't take long for Fusang, with the silent support of the Song Dynasty, to kill the Japanese country, which is still fighting for power and profit, and replace it.
Moreover, the number of Song people staying on Fuso Island exceeded five thousand.
In addition to the more than two thousand prisoners of war who were thrown over, there were also some injured soldiers from the Song Dynasty who felt that they had greater development prospects in Fuso State, so they also stayed.
In addition, now, as the Fusang Kingdom announced that it would open its ports, it would only open its ports to the Song Dynasty.
Naturally, a large number of Song Dynasty businessmen went there one after another, plus those unlucky Song Dynasty scholars.
I also really want to go to Fusang Kingdom, which has become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, to see if there is a chance to get promoted and make a fortune.
As a result, ships now travel between the Song Dynasty and Fusang Kingdom every month, creating a prosperous maritime trade.

On a huge battleship, Cai Laoliu, who was wearing fox fur, looked a little gloomy, even looking solemnly at the approaching Suzhou Pier.
The boy next to him, Tong Zhisheng, also had a gloomy expression.
"Alas... I'm finally back. I really don't know when we brothers will have the opportunity to be as happy as we were in those days."
"Want to live like that?"
Cai Laoliu couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Tong Zhisheng, and said in a sinister tone.
"Unless you and I take dad's place."
Tong Zhisheng was stunned at first, and had to nod his head in agreement.
"What you say makes some sense, but the Sa family will definitely not become eunuchs."
"Of course you can be a general if you are not a eunuch. However, just you and me are not enough. In Cai's opinion, we need one more person to take the blame for you and me."
Tong Zhisheng looked at Cai Laoliu with some disbelief, who was often dealt with by himself and Gao Zhang in physics. He really wanted to open his skull and see what was inside.
He is obviously afraid of his senior brother to death, but he always likes to put on a provocative posture like I am the best in the world.
Fortunately, at this time, Fang La's shouts came from not far away on the deck.
The two of them looked forward and saw a handsome young man in purple official uniform standing on the edge of the pier.
It was the senior brother Gao Zhang that Cai Laoliu mentioned.
Tong Zhisheng looked at Gao Zhang, who stood out among the crowd with his head held high and his chest high, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"Ouch, I'm talking about Liu, why do I think your senior brother is already bigger than you?"
When Cai Laoliu heard this, he couldn't help being stunned, and he stretched his neck hard to look at it.
At this moment, the battleship finally docked and saw Gao Zhang standing on the dock, waving frequently towards this side.
"Junior brother, brother Zhisheng, your reputation in Fusang country is even heard in Suzhou."
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Cai Laoliu's mouth could not help but rise up, and his chin lifted.
Come to think of it, my biological father who is far away in Bianliang, Tokyo, should also be very aware of his reputation, right?
