There are not many islanders on the Xiandao island, and compared with Xiaoliuqiu Island, the islanders look more uncivilized. On an island called Yunaguo Island, the fleet also found a wrecked ship stranded on the shore. Judging from the style, it is not very similar to the maritime merchants from the Song Dynasty.

Wei Wenyuan had traveled many times, so hesitated after identifying it for a while, "This is a bit like a merchant ship from Tianfang."

Tianfang merchant ships are not uncommon in Song State, even in Ming State, and are not rare objects. The sea ships to Japan were only allowed to trade with the Shogunate in the early days because of the conservative shogunate. Tianfang merchants mainly took the Nanyang route and almost never went to Japan.

The business environment of this era actually emphasizes grouping and exclusivity. Tianfang's merchants dominate the Nanyang route, while Song's merchants dominate the Japanese route. However, as Japan was defeated by Ming, the entire trade was monopolized by Ming merchants.

If those merchants in Song State want to continue to maintain their original trade share, they can only change their appearance and become Ming State merchants, and purchase real estate, real estate or open workshops and businesses within the Ming State. Just like Wei Wenyuan, the original interest can be recognized and maintained by the Ming State government.

Otherwise, the end of the route will be set at Jeju Port, Liberty Island.

However, these changes have nothing to do with Tianfang Maritime Business. How could they appear on this immature route?

The exploration ship first reported the news to Gao Mingshi on other islands, and also sent people to the island to check the situation. I don’t know if the sea area is too remote and did not look for it, so they found traces of people living near the stranded ship.

Wang Zhou, the leader of the exploration team, bent down and touched the burning ashes on the ground with his hand. It was dry and there was no sign of being soaked in water. It was probably the new burning was not long ago today. At this time, Fujiwara no in the team suddenly pointed to the woods near the beach and shouted. Although the Chinese language is not standard, the general meaning of "someone" can still be understood.

Wang Zhouzheng and the others immediately looked at the woods, and the bows and arrows taken from their backs were also pulled all over Xuan.

"No - No!" It seemed that Wang Zhouzheng and his party were not good, and a strange Chinese dialect was immediately heard in the woods. The crew members who had been to Song State and stayed on the southeast coast of Song State understood it. At the prompt of Wang Zhouzheng, they ordered the other party to come out in the same Chinese dialect.

Then I saw that there were eight young men with dark skin, loose clothes on their bodies, and heavy stains. It seemed that they had not been washed for several days. At this moment, several of them were strung with several seabirds hanging on their bodies, as if they had just returned from looking for something to eat.

The man who was speaking in the head looked different from the other seven oriental races. His hair was light yellow, his eyes were deep, and his nose was high and straight. He was a very typical Tianfang merchant.

"Who are you? Where did you come from and why did you land on the island?" Wang Zhouzheng asked them to stand in place and asked three questions at once.

When the other party heard Wang Zhouzheng's obviously different Chinese language, he was a little stunned, and then he said in surprise: "Are you from the Ming Dynasty?"

"I'm asking you now!" Wang Zhouzheng reminded in a serious tone.

"Please forgive me, I'm so happy. Since my crew and I were wandering to this deserted island, I never thought that anyone would discover us." Seeing Wang Zhouzheng's expression, the man apologized to introduce the origin of his group.

It turned out that they were maritime merchants from Quanzhou, Song State, and their original intention was to go to Dalian Port for trade. For this reason, they specially bought a lot of grain to send it to Dalian Port to make some money.

Since the news that the main force of the Khanate in Mongolian was returning westward, Mingguo's move to stock grain further accelerated. In the quiet stage before the storm, he also stepped up efforts to immigrate. After the price rose, it naturally attracted more merchants to come to the door for transactions.

Although this will result in a sharp increase in the price of grain in the State of Song, this is no longer what the Ming government will consider.

It was also after our country defeated, that the change of ownership of the mine on Sado Island gave Ming Dynasty the confidence to be rich and powerful. Therefore, when facing a higher price, he dared to use a big move and buy them all.

The statement from this group of Tianfang Maritime Merchants is still quite credible so far.

As the story continued, the merchant also mentioned his name. His name was Abdullah Ibrahim, and the crew members were all recruiting gangs near Quanzhou. The weather was not good, and their merchant ships were shortly after leaving the port and heading north, and they encountered a storm. Not only did they blow away the compass, but they also completely deviated from the original route.

Then they were like lost lambs, drifting on the sea. During this period, they also encountered land, but when they went up, they were different from the scene along the coast of Song State. They also encountered the tribes attacking them, so they did not dare to stay for too long and fled again by sinking the ship.

Then it ran aground on the island.

After listening, Wang Zhouzheng asked the group to take care of them and took the crew away from the questioning one by one.

Those sacred people were a group of fishermen living on the coast of Fujian. They were considered to be a minority with relatively independent cultural characteristics in later generations. Naturally, there was no such statement in the current era. The Song government did not recognize these sacred people as people under their own rule, and they were restricted by many restrictions, and they were even allowed to go ashore.

Perhaps the ancestors made a living by sea or water, but they had such a great grudge against the rule that they were not allowed to go ashore. This is how people of this era accepted their fate, and the sea was vast and could not survive in one sea. They could also try their luck in other seas.

If you want to select crew members, these sacred people who regard sea as their homes are undoubtedly the best crew seedlings. This time, Gao Mingshi was given the secondary task of exploring Ryukyu routes and establishing the colony of the Great Ryukyu Islands.

Moreover, if the operation is done properly, these sacred people who were not accepted by the Song State would become the first group of settled people on the Daliuqiu Island. In the past, the government did not allow these land ownership, and the Ming State treated them with a pleading attitude, which could not attract many sacred people who wanted to live a stable life to serve the Ming State fleet.

At this moment, Gao Mingshi didn't know that his crew had discovered the Hanmin. Wang Zhouzheng had no intention of treating the Hanmin differently. Because as long as he was not from Ming, he would respond with a cautious attitude.
