Having said that, this is not the time to talk about children's affection. Today's Liuli Island is no longer the kind of wild place that no one cared about in the past, and the large amount of wealth accumulated in a short period of time has made this deserted island far from the mainland into a juicy fat in the eyes of some people, and I can't wait to swallow it in one bite. And as time goes on, the number of people who covet it will only increase.

If you don't take advantage of the fact that you are strong now, you will soon be reduced to meat on someone else's chopping board and be slaughtered by others. But that's true, but there are a lot of problems to overcome when it comes to implementation. In his previous life, he went to the border to guard the land in order to escape his feelings, and he was gone for so many years.

Stationed at the border for many years, from an ordinary soldier step by step to the commander in charge of the army, during his time in charge, the Saiwai barbarians never had to occupy half of the territory of the Southern Dynasties, and the ability to cross the East China Sea is beyond doubt.

But there is a saying that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if he is a rare general in a hundred years, but there are so many people on Liuli Island, even if everyone can take up arms and go to the battlefield, it is far from enough, not to mention that not everyone can become a qualified soldier, remove the old, weak, sick, disabled and women, I am afraid that the remaining number is less than 100, and a general without soldiers is like a beast that has been pulled out of its fangs and lost its claws, even if its body is still strong and mighty, after all, it is overwhelmed.

Therefore, the most important issue at present is how to increase the population, with strong young people as the main choice, and women and children as the second choice. There are only two solutions to the population problem, either to be born on their own, or to absorb outsiders. The efficiency of the former is too slow and full of twists and turns, and the birth of a child in October is just the beginning, and then there are more than ten years of raising, and in the process of growing up, perhaps a small accident will take its life. If he relied on this method to expand the number of people, Yue Donghai felt that even if all outsiders were kind and did not pay attention to Liuli Island, he would not be able to build a slightly larger and decent team in his lifetime.

In this way, there is only one of the so-called two solutions - to absorb outsiders. And this is not necessarily easy to implement. Liuli Island is far away from the mainland, and to outsiders, this land is like a flat boat in the river, which seems to be running smoothly, but if it does not dock all the time, it will one day sink to the bottom of the lake. In such a place, as long as they can survive, no one will want to leave their hometown and move over. Thinking about it, if you want to expand the number of people on Liuli Island, it can probably only be in the years of disaster and famine, those who really can't survive anymore, and move aimlessly along the road, as long as they can give them a bite to eat, half of them should be willing to follow, and then settle here, and over time they will integrate into it and become a part of it.

However, disasters are determined by heaven, and it is difficult for people to intervene. Putting this issue aside, Liuli Island has been a tradition for so many years, and there are only Yue people on the island. If it weren't for the fact that this generation was really down, he would never accept Shen Shu and Brother Jing. Shen Shu promised the clan elders a lot of benefits before he could stay, and the number of people he wanted to absorb even exceeded the sum of the Yue family on Liuli Island, and he could not bring visible benefits to the Yue family in a short period of time, but would consume food and money, which could be said to be beyond the acceptance of the clan elders and the clansmen.

Internal and external troubles, but that's it.

Although he is well aware of the current situation, he can't think of any good way to break the situation for a while, so he can only wait and wait for an opportunity.

He told Shen Shu everything in his heart. One is because he doesn't shy away from her, and the other is that he wants to hear if she has any good advice, maybe she has two ways to do both, even if she doesn't, two people's thinking is always broader than one person's, which is exactly what Shen Shu taught him in the past. In two lives, he has not been in contact with many women, and the one who gets along with him the longest is also the one he cares about the most, he doesn't know how other women are and doesn't want to understand, he only knows that his Shen Shu is extremely smart and resourceful, if it weren't for her patient teaching in his previous life, he would probably just be a stupid boy who didn't know anything under the lintel of the Xie family, not the commander of the army who was admired.

"I wonder what Miss Shen thinks about this?" After he finished speaking one by one, his eyes fell on Shen Shu and asked seriously.

Shen Shu was a little surprised that he would be willing to talk to her about this matter in detail, but he was quickly relieved, shook his head and said, "I have always been an outsider, so it is inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of your clan, and this problem can only be solved by yourself." You are now in the game, and you can only wait for an external force to help you break the game. I just don't know what this external force is and when it will come. ”

Yue Donghai couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, her thoughts were really the same as his.

Shen Shu looked up at him, her eyes puzzled, "What, is there something wrong with what I said?" While asking, she also re-examined it herself, but still didn't find any problems.

Yue Donghai shook his head, "No, I'm just very happy, it is the luck of Liuli Island and the Yue family to meet Miss Shen, and it is the same ...... It's also my luck. When he said the last paragraph, he looked at Shen Shu's eyes with undisguised admiration.

He used to be afraid to show his heart because he was afraid, and he cowered in everything. But after Fang just made a mistake and said what was in his heart, the shackles that bound him disappeared, although Shen Shu did not show his attitude, but he did not say that he hated him, so he no longer thought carefully and carefully as before, and said directly what he thought in his heart.

After all, it is an old fritter who has been in the military camp for many years, and the thickness of his face has already been practiced.

Shen Shu, who was caught off guard: ......

I really can't see it.,People who originally felt quite honest and wooden.,After talking about it.,The sultry love words are just easy.。

But for Shen Shu, it's the same thing, although she was busy working outside all year round as an engineering student in her previous life, but her appearance is there, and there are no fewer people chasing her, and her means are more clever than this.

Shen Shu mainly wanted to discuss the issue of Liuli Island when he looked for Yue Donghai, since he knew it in his heart, she didn't need to say much, as for what to do next, it was Yue Donghai's business, and she basically couldn't help much.

"Now that you've noticed the problem, I won't say more. It's almost time for Brother Jing to come back at this point, so I'll go first. So saying, she turned and followed the way she came.

Yue Donghai took a long step and followed behind her, "I'll send you back." ”

Shen Shu didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either, so Yue Donghai followed so unhurriedly. The sunset that is about to set stretches the figures of the two of them long, and occasionally one or two seabirds can be heard, which is quite a feeling of quiet years.

——

Reliving a life naturally has some advantages over others. Yue Donghai remembered that in the years after he entered the Xie family, the Southern Dynasty was once very chaotic and had frequent disasters, first drought and flood for thousands of miles, and finally eased up, and then the flood swept again, the houses collapsed, the livestock were swept away, and the crops in the fields were destroyed, causing the people to live in a miserable situation and mourn all over the wilderness.

This is an internal worry, and there are still foreigners and barbarians on the border, which is an external trouble.

The Li family, which has lasted for more than 200 years, has fallen into turmoil and may be destroyed at any time.

Two years ago, he caught up with the drought and flood, rescued Shen Shu, and changed the trajectory of her life, she no longer took her stepson and stepdaughter into Beijing to enter the Xie family's mansion like in her previous life, but left the mainland to the coast, and finally settled on Liuli Island. If nothing else, in another half a year or so, the flood disaster in memory will come.

If he wanted to expand the population of Liuli Island, he had to convince the clan elders and the people before then. He only had half a year, but he didn't know if he could wait for that opportunity.

Fortunately, God favored him after all, and about half a month after talking to Shen Shu, on a stormy night, the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

The Yue family has lived on Liuli Island for generations, and most of their lives have been adrift at sea, relying on this vast sea area for a living, but anyone who has lived at sea for a few years has the experience of judging the weather.

Since the first two days, the climate at sea began to change, the experienced old man quickly noticed this, originally prepared to go to sea, saw this directly canceled the trip, and told the family to prepare in advance, when the situation is not right, they will collectively move to the cave, anyway, things can be found back, people are gone, it is really gone.

On this day, the sun jumped above the sea level as usual, but the light was obscured by the thick gray clouds in the sky, and only the outline of a disc hung at the junction of heaven and water. It was early in the morning, but it was so dark that it looked like it was almost night.

The wind is howling and the seabirds are flying low.

This is a precursor to a storm.

After the old clansman stood on the cliff for a long time, he asked the young people of the clan to help him back to the place where he lived, called a few people over, and ordered them to go from house to house and tell them to bring important things to the cave, and to be sure to rush over before dark.

The Yue family who received the news did not panic, they had already experienced this kind of thing many times, and they all packed up their homes according to the instructions of the clan elders, and took the family to the cave to move.

By evening, almost all of the village had already been completed.

The clouds were so black that they seemed to be soaked in ink, and from time to time lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the sound of thunder, signaling that a storm was coming.

However, in such bad weather, there were several ships heading in the direction of Liuli Island against the wind and waves.
