Guanyun City, Duanshuiqiao Lane.
The bridgehead was once the Ryukyu Embassy, and now it has become the residence of Sakura.
This was given to Sakura by Fu Xiaoguan.
Because the Ryukyu Kingdom was destroyed, all the royal bloodlines were killed by the Franks, leaving only Sakura, a woman.
It was from Fujiwara no Kiyoshi that Sakura learned that when the Franks invaded Ryukyu, Fu Xiaoguan did not send his navy to Ryukyu to rescue them.
This made Sakura extremely sad and angry, but there was nothing she could do.
She is a woman, and a woman from the Ryukyu Kingdom who is living in a foreign land.
She had no relatives in this Great Xia, let alone rebuilding the Kingdom of Liu, it was impossible for her to even go to the Kingdom of Liu again, because she was the only descendant of the royal family of the Kingdom of Liu, and Fu Xiaoguan would never allow her to return to the Kingdom of Liu.
"He's using Frankie to destroy the Ryu Kingdom, and then take over the Ryu Kingdom from the Frankies... Ji Xiang, his mind is as cunning as the sky, you must not be deceived by him!"
In the greenhouse, Sakura and Fujiwara no Kiso sat opposite each other. Sakura said very seriously, "You don't understand him after all. His poems and essays are all fake. What he is really good at is strategizing for the country!"
"...But the great things he did in Nanjing truly made the Yu Dynasty prosperous! If Emperor Xuan hadn't stabbed him, I don't think he would have returned to the Wu Dynasty."
"Even if he did return to the Wu Dynasty, he laid a solid foundation for the Yu Dynasty. They only needed to develop according to that foundation to build a towering structure... But the Yu Dynasty's towering structure collapsed before it was even built. Can Fu Xiaoguan be blamed for this? Isn't this the incompetence of Yu Wendao?"
Fujiwara no Kiyoshi has been studying these days, and the focus of his study has been on the rise of Fu Xiaoguan in recent years.
"Sister Sakura, I think you have some misunderstandings about him."
"For example, he didn't send a fleet to rescue the Ryukyu Kingdom because that was a critical time for the unification of Daxia, and it was also the time when Frankie's fleet was heading towards the waters near the Wu Dynasty."
"As emperor, he had to ensure the smooth unification of Daxia and the protection of the coastal waters from interference by the Franks. At the time, he only had six warships. Tell me, if he had sent all six to Liu, how would he have been able to destroy the Franks' twenty warships?"
"The Frankies will inevitably land in Jiangcheng, which is only a two-day drive from Guanyun City... Sister Sakura, ask yourself, if you were the emperor of Daxia, would you disregard your own homeland and help a country that means nothing to you?"
"Besides, didn't he personally lead an expedition against the Ryukyu Kingdom, killing 30,000 of those Franks and capturing 20,000?"
Fujiwara no Kiyoshi's words left Sakura speechless. She always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it.
In the end, she could only sigh, "Ji Xiang, you must not put your mind on him. My sister will leave here for Jinling tomorrow, so this house... will be left to you."
Fujiwara no Kiyo's face turned slightly red. Sakura didn't know that she was already Fu Xiaoguan's woman.
"What is sister doing in Jinling?"
Yinghua smiled sadly, "My sister once met someone in Jinling, and he wrote to invite her to stay there permanently."
Fujiwara Noriaki was stunned. "A man? My sister clearly looks unhappy. Why would she let herself be wronged?"
Sakura looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window. She was silent for a long time before she suddenly said, "Look at this snow. Doesn't it look like the cherry blossoms in Edo Castle?"
Fujiwara no Kiso's heart sank. Her Royal Highness the Princess had something on her mind, and it was very heavy.
"Sister, wait a few days, I will go back to Edo with you to see the cherry blossoms."
Sakura was silent for a long moment, then smiled sadly: "I'm not going back. Seeing things reminds me of people, but what's the point other than adding to my sadness?"
"It's like there's someone I clearly like, but that person never lets me into his heart. What's the point of staying here?"
"It's better to stay away!"
…
…
The next day, in the heavy snow, Fujiwara no Kiso bid farewell to Sakura. She stood in the snow for a long time, not knowing who Sakura liked, nor why that person didn't let her into his heart given Princess Sakura's beauty.
I think he is a proud young man.
She turned and walked into Guanyun City, only to find that she had been in Guanyun City for two months and that person had never come to see her again.
She was suddenly startled and slowly lowered her head. It seemed that she had not entered that man's heart.
Yes, she laughed at herself. He was the emperor, high and mighty, with ten beautiful wives. The night he spent in his own house was nothing more than a man's desire to vent.
That wasn't love, it was... a one-night stand.
Fujiwara no Kiso calmed down and realized that he came to Daxia to learn its culture, which was his real business.
That night, I was willing. Just being able to have him for one night was enough.
A smile appeared on her face and she walked towards the Duan Shui Alley.
By the way, the New Year is coming soon. I heard from Sakura that Daxia attaches great importance to the New Year. I have to buy some New Year’s goods and invite my brother Fujiwara Ki and Grandpa Tsuruta to come and celebrate the New Year together.
My elder brother and Grandpa Tsuruta are now serving in the Hanlin Academy of Daxia. The last time my elder brother came, he was very happy and said that he was studying the "Neo-Confucian Code" with Grandpa Tsuruta. Your Majesty meant that after they have learned it, they should bring the code back to the Far East and spread it to the people of the Far East.
My brother also said that Grandpa Tsuruta was organizing the books on the Daxia imperial examinations, and those books had to be taken back because the students from the Far East would need to learn these things systematically in order to take the Daxia unified level three examinations.
I have to do something for Far East Road.
By the way, Daxia has a very high yield of rice seeds, as well as sweet potatoes and fragrant pigs. After Daxia’s ships are built, Jiangcheng and Far East Road will be able to navigate. These things must be brought back to Far East Road and let my father promote them. I think they will be able to solve the food problem of the people in Far East Road.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the basic necessities of the people. Spinning and weaving... are technical jobs. Let's see if there is any chance to recommend some weaving merchants to the Far East.
Daxia is too prosperous. Fujiwara no Kiyoshi thought about it all the way and found that he had too much to do and that the Far East Road was too weak.
There is weaving, but it is far behind the level of Daxia.
There was iron smelting, but she had only heard of steel after she came to Guanyun City.
Not to mention Daxia's medicine, food, firearms, white salt, etc.
By the way, I heard that Daxia has also produced canned food with a long shelf life. The name is so strange. This thing has not been launched on the market yet. If it comes out, I must buy some to try.
If it can really be preserved for a long time...can the fish and shrimp from Hozo also be canned and sold inland?
Fujiwara no Kisho didn't know that she had seen a door.
She needed an opportunity to push open this door. Behind this door was a huge business opportunity that she could hardly imagine.
At this moment, there were also several people standing at the door, and they were about to touch the door.
