Shu Ming planned to go out and walk around. Actually, the other aristocrats of the Japanese island country said, you go ahead, and we will live our own lives for the rest.
Shu Ming didn't know what he was thinking, and left silently with more than a thousand guards and maids.
A bunch of people were left staring.
What's happening here?
Why did you just leave?
Isn't it supposed to be a good idea?
Governing the country is the most important thing, right?
Looking at Shu Ming who was getting further and further away, a group of people looked at each other and looked at each other.
"what to do?"
"When Tian Huang travels, we just have to do our part."
"There is something in the words"
"You are thinking too much"
"Are you insinuating my XX family again?"
"Don't want to talk to stupid people"
"…idiot"
"Bagaya Deer"
"Stop making noise."
"None of your business" x2
As a result, the crowd left one after another and let the two of them quarrel.
Shu Ming couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the imperial city getting further and further away from him.
If it is that big, when will it develop into a legendary imperial city with hundreds of thousands of people like the Celestial Kingdom?
The population of his entire island country is probably this large, and the recent family disputes have made him somewhat unable to do what he wants. He needs a wise man to assist him.
Just like wise men like Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Guo Jia during the Three Kingdoms period.
When walking in the Japanese island country, the population around its imperial city is pretty good. There are quite a few small villages. Once you get a little further away, there are only walking roads in the grass.
There are no stone slabs on the road, all are traces of walking and rolling. In addition, there is a lot of rain now, so it is not so easy to walk on the road.
The team of people in front of them moved forward slowly. There were fewer and fewer people on the road. The grass was growing taller and taller, and the atmosphere was full of nature.
The pioneer who opened the road in front used a long pole to beat the weeds on the roadside, driving away the birds, insects, snakes and other creatures hiding on the edge, so as not to disturb Shu Ming.
Shu Ming arrived at a small town after walking for three days. He followed the guards into the house of a noble in the small town, and the rest of the people stayed overnight outside the town.
Shu Ming asked about the situation in this small noble town, and wrote it down carefully, so that he could use it as a reference for his next step in governing the country when he returned.
After taking a short rest for two days, Shu Ming planned to continue his journey. His purpose was to walk as much as possible and learn as much as possible about his rule.
In order to prevent himself from dying accidentally, he has left his son behind, ready to take over his position at any time.
He has already prepared the name Huangji.
He thought about this name for a long time.
Shu Ming traveled for more than a month and collected a lot of information from various places. When he walked near Donghai Port, he saw a group of about ten people, and the leader was dressed as a noble.
The vanguard officer looked at the visitor's clothing and saw that he belonged to the Oda family.
The pioneer officer stopped him with someone: "Who is it?"
The leader was none other than Oda Ono. Oda Ono replied to the vanguard: "The third son of the Oda family, Oda Ono."
The Oda family?
Three sons!
It seems that this is what the Oda family said. The third child led people to guard and fish at one of their family's ports.
Pioneer officer: "Wait a moment, I'll send someone to report the situation."
Oda Ono nodded: "Thank you."
Shu Ming in the team was stunned when he heard the news. Although he was overjoyed: "I want to see this Oda Ono, but I met him here. Lucky, lucky, this is fate." Shu Ming was thinking about recruiting. Oda Ono came to his side.
Shu Ming: "Bring him here"
"Hayi"
Oda Ono was brought to Shu Ming by Shu Ming's guards. Oda Ono prostrated himself: "Your Majesty Tian Huang"
Shu Ming looked at Oda Ono. He had good looks and was not low in height. He was very energetic and much more polite and pleasing to the eye than those annoying guys who yelled around every day.
Shu Ming asked Oda Ono with a smile on his face: "You are the third son of the Oda family, right?"
Oda Ono: "Yes"
Shu Ming: "You don't have to be so formal."
Oda Ono: "Hai"
Shu Ming: I still couldn’t let go a few years ago. Looking back at my age back then, it seemed like this was the case.
Shu Ming continued to ask Oda Ono: "I heard that you are guarding the Oda family's port."
Oda Ono nodded: "Yes, but it's not a port, it's a small fishing village."
Shu Ming: "Take your time. If you perform well, your father will probably promote you. If not, you can come to me."
Oda Ono heard what Shu Ming meant and agreed: "Thank you for His Majesty Tian Huang's appreciation. Ono understands that he will definitely not disappoint His Majesty Tian Huang's expectations."
Shu Ming was also very happy. He had succeeded in recruiting. Next, Shu Ming asked Oda Ono some questions, and Oda Ono answered them perfectly.
After taking another test of Oda Ono's martial arts skills, Shu Ming was very satisfied with the results, and also very satisfied with his tactful performance in recruiting Oda Ono immediately.
However, he did not expect that the reason why Oda Ono came out of Donghai Port was to meet Shu Ming.
When Shu Ming traveled, Pang Tong was very concerned about his whereabouts. First, he considered capturing Shu Ming directly and taking the opportunity to control the Japanese island country. This idea was quickly rejected by himself.
Although Tian Huang is the boss of the Japanese island country, soldiers and other matters still rely on various families. Even if they control Shu Ming, it is of little significance, and they may even fall into passivity in terms of morality.
You have to know that this part of Asia is a feudal monarchy, and the king is the one who calls the shots. If Li Mingda wants to destroy them, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future. Who is willing to surrender?
Furthermore, what if Shu Ming wants to take a look, and he doesn't want to expose himself prematurely, so he simply puts the sentry farther away. Once he finds that Shu Ming's team is approaching here, he will immediately send Oda Ono to try his best. Find a way to stop Shu Ming from coming over.
There was really no way to stop him, so he had to forcefully send Shu Ming away.
Oda Ono was called in, and Pang Tong and Zhang Fei, who were holding telescopes in the distance, kept observing.
Zhang Fei: "Old Pang, that little man won't sell us out, will he?"
Pang Tong shook his head: "His mother and sister are here, so it shouldn't be possible."
Zhang Fei: "How can you be so sure?"
Pang Tong: "We met Oda Ono first. He went home and brought his sister and mother over. He was ready to separate from his family and the Japanese island country and pledge allegiance to the Tang Dynasty. Why do he still need to add Huang's allegiance to a so-called small island country? ?”
Zhang Fei scratched his head: "Lao Pang is right, that's the truth. I, Lao Zhang, am so impatient to wait!"
Pang Tong comforted Zhang Fei: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter even if Oda Ono sells us. Gan Ning is about to arrive after so long. The 30,000 soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet can't defeat the third-rate troops of a small island country."
Zhang Fei pointed to the distance: "That little dwarf is out!"
