After the chase and killing incident, Song Ci and Dongfang Huajin's hearts were much colder, and on the way south, there were no longer many scruples in the past. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Along the way, he openly recruited all kinds of talents, and played the slogans of "Qin State abolished the slavery system", "one adult can be divided into five acres of land, and minors can be divided into two acres of land, and all kinds of taxes will be exempted within three years, and the tax after three years will only be paid at most 30%", which attracted a large number of followers.

Every time he went to a county seat, Song Ci would set up a temporary solicitation point, and then leave a trustworthy subordinate with fifty people with good martial arts, two martial arts masters, and five literati who were good at handling interpersonal communication, responsible for solicitation matters.

After Song Ci and Dongfang Huajin discussed, they unanimously made a decision, and Song Ci told the people who stayed: "Those who come to defect must issue a true and valid identity certificate, as well as the certificate of the village chief or Li Zheng and the patriarch, and it is best to go to verify it in person, so as not to be mixed into it." ”

Whether it is the annihilation of the enemy country, or the annihilation of the crown princess or other hostile forces, we must try to eliminate it. After careful verification, in the future, when these people arrive in Lihua Island, they can be appointed with confidence without too many scruples.

And every time they walked to a prefecture, a large group of men and horses would be stationed down, waiting for the men who stayed behind to recruit people. In addition, a team of thousands of people, divided into five teams, will be sent to meet those who are under command and those who have been recruited. These people are all people with good force value, and one person can resist three or five ordinary strong men.

In this way, if someone wants to deal with those men, they can also help in time. And those bad guys who are ready to move, if they want to do it, they have to think twice. This proved to be effective, and after the attack on the first two counties, the solicitation team was retaliated back with a fierce response from the receiving force.

The news spread, so that those villains and thieves were terrified, and they no longer dared to come out and harm people. The recruitment work went quite smoothly, and some villages came to vote, which was much easier. The staff in charge of recruitment, as long as they check with the village chief, patriarch and villager representatives, get rid of those who are the best and those with bad morals, and that's it!

In this way, after walking all the way and traveling thousands of miles, tens of thousands of people have been recruited. The whole village came to join the village, as many as fifteen, and it was carefully selected, and the village with a bad atmosphere was not selected as a whole, only a few simple and simple families were selected.

When Song Ci and Dongfang Huajin converged with Song Yu, there were as many as 30,000 people recruited. This is still the result of careful selection, and if the visitors do not refuse, it should exceed 50,000 people. Those who are lazy, insidious and vicious, sickly and naïve, tyrannical, pedantic and filial, and have bad habits, as well as those who are suspected of being cunning, do not want any of them. Not to mention, the people who came to defect, such people actually accounted for a lot of people. In order to weed out these people, the person in charge of solicitation has spent a lot of energy.

Song Yu's eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise: "Big brother and sister-in-law, so many people?" How do you do that? ”

Song Ci said briefly, and said: "This place is close to Pear Blossom Island, and people here will be more adaptable to living there." In Liangguang, it is necessary to recruit some people, and the number of people in Ewha Island should ideally reach about 100,000. ”

Such a barren place needs many people to reclaim. There must be at least 30,000 soldiers in the barracks, 20,000 of whom are responsible for guarding, and the remaining 10,000 are responsible for opening up the kind of military reclamation farms mentioned in the painting. In the future, these 10,000 people will be farmers on military farms in normal times, and soldiers who can take up arms and go to the battlefield when they throw down their hoes in war!

In fact, 50,000 soldiers is appropriate, and 30,000 is still too little. If there are 50,000 people, then 20,000 people will guard Ewha Island, and 30,000 will be responsible for cultivating the military farms. However, 10,000 urban population, 30,000 farmers, 10,000 fishermen.

So, 100,000 people is not much.

Song Yu nodded: "Big brother, don't worry, although these two Guang are vast and sparsely populated, there are more than 300,000 people, and it is not a big problem to recruit 50,000 or 60,000." Besides, you can also recruit another 10,000 or 20,000 people in those state capitals near Liangguang. In those state capitals, the population is still relatively large, and the life of the common people is not easy, and the whole village should not be less! ”

In the entire Lingnan region, the mountains are high and the emperors are far away, and those soil emperors oppress the poor, which is called an unscrupulous. The people are miserable, and the year is a little better, but if there is a famine year, how many families are ruined and uprooted from their homes.

"Okay, this matter must be resolved quickly, and we can't stay here for more than a month. Preferably, the shorter the time, the better, so as not to have too many dreams at night. After all, the people who took over the governor's office and other official positions also came. Although these people are very close to me and your aunt, it is difficult to disobey the king's order, if the emperor gives them a secret order to kill us, they have no choice but to obey orders! ”

Song Yu nodded: "Don't worry, eldest brother, you can take your sister-in-law to go first, and I will stay to recruit people." Here, I know each other well, and if you go first, the danger will be a little less. ”

Song Ci: "No, if you want to go, let's go together!" However, those who are recruited can send away those who have no martial arts first. In addition, send three thousand escorts with martial arts! ”

Song Yu persuaded hard, but to no avail, so he had to agree. It was a matter of great importance to go ahead and arrange the solicitation of people at once, and to hand over the work to the new Governor. Only after the work is handed over, this can go at any time, if you encounter any trouble, you have to go, after the handover of the work, you will not leave hidden dangers and troubles.

After all, Jiang Hai, the Hou of Changning, who took over, is a good friend of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Especially Qu Yinyin, the wife of the Marquis of Changning, and her sister-in-law are irreversible friends, like sisters. The handover of work is clear, so as not to leave hidden dangers and troubles for the family, so that unnecessary suspicion and even hatred will arise between the family and the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Moreover, it is convenient for yourself to be convenient with people. In the future, the development and construction of Ewha Island may need the help of this family. Changning Hou can gain a firm foothold in Liangguang, and the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages for Lihua Island. Or rather, there is no harm in a hundred miles. If the governor of Liangguang changes to someone else, it may be a big disaster for Ewha Island.

Thinking about it like this, Song Yu cheered up, wholeheartedly and sincerely, and explained the work clearly. Even, he took the initiative to mention a lot of things about Changninghou, helping him quickly sort out the situation between the two Guangzhou, as well as the aspects that need to be paid attention to and focused on.

Changning Hou was very moved, and secretly resolved in his heart that he must repay one or two in the future. Even if you can't do anything on the surface, secretly when you are in need on Ewha Island, you have to lend a helping hand to Ewha Island. In particular, when the other party makes a request, you can't refuse it, and you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Qu Yinyin thought about it, but one day, will she also join Pear Blossom Island?

Along the way, Dongfang Huajin described to her the bright prospects of the soon-to-be-established Qin State, two of which had a great attraction to her: the implementation of monogamy, whether a man takes a concubine or accepts a housemaid, or adopts an outer room, will constitute the crime of bigamy, and will be sentenced to prison; The Qin State strictly forbade the opening of Fengyue venues and gambling houses, established a civilized and progressive social environment, put an end to the bad habits of men to the greatest extent, and maintained the peace and tranquility of society and family.

As a woman who has been poisoned by a concubine, as a woman who still has to worry about her husband sleeping with a maid every day, and as a woman who has to worry about her husband going to Fengyue to "relax" every day, Qu Yinyin has an incomparable yearning and longing for Pear Blossom Island.

If she didn't have to take care of the people of her mother's family, she would definitely encourage her husband to simply join the Qin State! However, it is not too late now, after all, the daughter has not yet married. That's right, the candidate for son-in-law must be well chosen. Whether it is in the capital or in Liangguang, it must be a person who admires Song Ci and a person who yearns for Qin. If it is a native of Liangguang, it will be even better, in that case, if the family wants to go to the Qin State in the future, there will be less scruples.

Alas, it would be great if it could be said that the people of the mother's family would go to Ewha Island together. At present, there is no better way, so we have to look at the situation and slowly figure it out.

Both parties have good intentions and friendship, and when everyone sees it, they are naturally aware of it. The officials under Song Yu's previous subordinates had a little more kindness towards the stranger Chang Ninghou and were very cooperative in their work. Moreover, everyone saw that the Changning Marquis and his wife were so close to Song Yu, Song Ci, and Oriental Painting Brocade, and knew that the rumors were true, and they were really good friends. In this way, the vast majority of the officials and local snakes who had the intention of blocking Song Ci and Song Yu's solicitation of people died down and did not move.

The matter of recruiting people is exceptionally smooth.

Within a month, more than 80,000 people came to defect, excluding more than 10,000 unqualified ones, and recruiting more than 60,000 people in total. Among them, there are about 35,000 young adults between the ages of 15 and 35. This proportion is very impressive, after all, the vast majority of them are with their families, and there are only about 5,000 orphans in total. If you are not an orphan, you must recruit the whole family together, and leave these young and middle-aged families in the green country, which will definitely not work.

Changning Hou's mood was a little complicated.

In such a situation, on the one hand, he was happy for Song Ci, but on the other hand, he was worried about himself. After all, if so many people leave at once, the pressure on the two Guangxi sides will be much greater in the future. Those small border countries have never been at peace.

Fortunately, over the years, Song Yu has governed the two Guangxi very well, and has also suppressed several small countries that are very restless, so that they have no power to fight back. Moreover, Song Ci is empathetic, and more than half of the more than 60,000 people were recruited from the adjacent state capitals of Liangguang, which can be regarded as a kind relief for him.

Qu Yinyin was reluctant, took Dongfang Huajin's hand, and said with tears: "Huajin, this farewell, I don't know if there will be a goodbye?" I can't bear you, if I can, I really hope I don't separate! ”

"Don't be too sad, this place is not too far from Ewha Island, please visit Ewha Island if you have the opportunity in the future." The scenery is beautiful and spring-like, you will definitely love it! Oriental painting brocade is full of laughter, and his eyes are full of sincerity.

"Okay, if I have the chance, I will definitely go, with my husband and children!" Qu Yinyin smiled with tears in her eyes, and sincerely wished: "I wish you and the prince to love each other, grow old, make the country of Qin rich and strong, and come from generation to generation!" ”

Jingping waited at the gate of the county guard of Lingnan County, warmly welcoming the arrival of Song Ci and his entourage, and the local officials and people welcomed them.

The officials appointed by Emperor Ruide have been following Song Ci and his party and have not gone to their posts in advance, which is also Emperor Ruide's will, so that they can follow Song Ci and Song Yu and learn their skills. Today, Lingnan County is still called Lingnan County and has not been renamed Haijiao County.

When I got here, I was basically safe, and no one dared to intercept and kill me halfway. Song Ci waved his hand and sent 3,000 guards with martial arts to send more than 40,000 people who had no martial arts at all to Pear Blossom Island.

Song Ci, Song Yu and Dongfang Huajin, as well as Ye Mao, took the rest of the people and stayed at the location of the county guard mansion and rested for five days. In this way, it is estimated that about three to five hundred people will be recruited in this place. Of course, this is only an estimated number, and depending on the situation, it may only be possible to admit a few dozen people.

Lingnan County is the southernmost place in the green country and the southernmost place in Liangguang. This place is really vast and sparsely populated, much more sparsely populated than other places in Guangzhou. The total population of the entire region, before Jingping came to take office here, the local aborigines were less than 5,000, and with the 3,000 soldiers brought by Jingping, the total population was less than 10,000.

This number is very shocking.

In the past two years, at the suggestion of Jing Ping and Song Yu, and under the suggestion and vigorous promotion of Song Ci, about 25,000 people have emigrated from Guannai. More than 20,000 people, 20,000 of whom were soldiers, were mainly to defend against the pirates who often attacked and to deter the small border countries that were about to move.

The people of Lingnan County must recruit some, not because Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade are greedy, but because it is adjacent to Pear Blossom Island, and the climate and environment here are very similar to Pear Blossom Island, it is very necessary to recruit some good planters and local talents to go over.

There were quite a few people who came to defect, and there were more than 2,000 people.

This result surprised everyone, but Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade did not feel too surprised. After all, before Jingping and Geshan took office, the entire Lingnan County was controlled by the local evil forces, and the poor people lived miserably. Now, these two are going to follow King Qin, is this new official a good official?

I have to say that the people who have been accustomed to peaceful days in the past two years are very worried. In addition, there were hundreds of soldiers who wanted to join the Qin State.

Ye Tian, the newly appointed county warden of Haijiao County, was very surprised and helpless, and looked at Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade pitifully.

In the end, Song Ci and Dongfang Huajin couldn't bear it, and only challenged more than 50 people from the soldiers. Among them, more than 30 are orphans, and the remaining dozen or so are locals, saying that they can bring their families to the past. These people have been strictly selected and investigated, and those who are suspected of doing everything in detail have not been hired.

In addition, of the 2,000 people, only 200 people were selected, and the rest were left to the poor Ye Tian. Of course, the main reason is that the 1,800 people, Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade are not very satisfied. There are too many people who are lazy and want to work at ease. Those who are really honest and have no suspicion of being meticulous at all are only about 200 people.

It can be said that the first batch of citizens of Ewha Island is called a pure. I don't dare to say that everyone is a good person, a simple and kind person, but a person who destroys great evil, the best person, is not a single person----- maybe there is, but he has not been discovered, or he himself has not inspired the evil factor hidden in his bones.

In the future, as the years go by, the wicked will surely come into being. There's certainly no way to stop that. When the time comes, see the move, that is.

Looking at Ye Tian's pitiful gaze, Song Ci couldn't help but shake his head amusedly, and made a promise: "Don't worry too much, if there are a large number of pirates invading in the future, or if there are enemy countries attacking, you can send someone to Lihua Island for help." In the future, let's help each other. Regarding this point, I also promised the emperor, and the emperor should have mentioned to you that if Pear Blossom Island is in trouble, the people of the green country can't watch it, right? ”

Ye Tian smiled: "Yes, that's right, the emperor did tell me so." The emperor said that you and Mrs. Jinxiu are both righteous people and trustworthy people. I instruct me to join hands with you in the future, especially not to take the initiative to attack and suppress Ewha Island, and hope that Haijiao County and Ewha Island will communicate with each other and come and go often. ”

I have to say that he still admires Emperor Red.

Such an open-minded and far-sighted emperor is indeed rare throughout the ages. Or rather, it's one of a kind. Of course, it may also be because of the personality charm of King Qin and Lady Jinxiu who conquered Emperor Ruide.

The newly built large pier is spacious, simple and practical.

Near the wharf, a two-story inn has been built, with more than 50 guest rooms and several large shops. A large teahouse can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, sheltering from the wind and rain, but it is a good place to go.

Where the pier is near the wall, there is also a shelter with stools and a roof. It is very thoughtful, and people can't help but admire: Qin State is really a good place, knowing the subtleties, the king will definitely love the people very much, and he will definitely not be a selfish tyrant. With such a king, a better day is just around the corner, and there is a rush!

When the soldiers and the people stepped on the wharf, there was a torrent of joy in their hearts, rushing and washing in their hearts. I was secretly glad in my heart: I chose to defect to the Qin State, and there was really nothing wrong with it!

Song Changhui and Xunfeng took their younger brothers and sisters, surrounded by guards and several generals and civil officials, and waited in the waiting pavilion, feeling very excited and urgent.

"Dad, mother, second uncle!" When they saw their parents and relatives, a few little ones rushed over directly, tears in their eyes, and cried with joy.

The youngest daughter, Song Yue, is five years old, white and tender, with two beautiful big watery eyes, thin and long eyelashes, elegant manners, and a sweet and immature voice. When I smiled, two shallow pear vortices appeared on my face, which was really cute! As soon as people saw her, they couldn't help but want to hold her in their arms and bite hard.

"Dad, mother, Yue'er misses you!"

The little girl smiled brightly, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and her heart ached when she saw the Oriental Painting, so she hurriedly bent down and hugged her, and kissed her little face lovingly: "Daddy misses you so much, in the future, our family will never be separated again!" ”

Song Yue raised her little head and asked for verification: "Will it always be, always together, and never be separated again?" ”

Oriental Painting Brocade nodded affirmatively: "Yes, there will never be separation!" If you don't believe me, you ask your father. ”

Song Yue looked at Song Ci coquettishly again: "Daddy, isn't it?" ”

Song Ci stretched out his hand to take his daughter, hugged her in her arms, and said gently: "Yes, we are a family, and we will never be separated in the future!" It will always be, very happy and happy, always together! ”

If there is a future life, I will be your husband and father for the rest of your lives, and I will never be separated.

Song Changhui said happily: "Father, mother, second uncle, now that the Qinzheng Palace and the Qianqing Palace have been built, I will take you to bathe and change clothes, and the meals are ready, take a good rest!" ”

Along the way, he explained: "Today, five barracks have been built, each of which can accommodate 1,000 people. Twenty villages were also built, each of which was built according to thirty households, and each household was expected to have about seven people. ”

Each household has a small farm yard, divided into a front yard and a back yard, with seven or eight rooms. The front yard is 70 square meters, you can plant one or two fruit trees, put a stone table and four stone chairs, and plant a bunch of flowers and plants. The backyard is about 100 square meters, two thatched houses, a small vegetable patch, a few fruit trees, a chicken coop, and a place to dry clothes.

These aspects are all designed, and it is also the meaning of oriental painting.

Song Ci nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's very good." ”

A few months have passed, and the two main halls of the palace, the Qinzheng Hall and the Qianqing Palace, have been built. The Qinzheng Palace is the place where the court deals with the government; Qianqing Palace is the place where Song Ci and Oriental Painting Brocade live. The Prince's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion have not yet begun construction.

Song Changhui and Xunfeng followed the instructions of Song Ci and Oriental Painting, and immediately began to build villages, cities and military camps after the Qinzheng Hall and the Qianqing Palace were built. In fact, when the construction of these two palaces began, a group of people had already been allocated to start building villages and military camps.

Song Changhui continued to report: "In addition, ten residential communities have been built, each with 50 houses. There are 10 sets of houses in the first entry, 30 sets of houses in the second entry, and 10 sets of houses in the third entry. That's it for now, time is too tight to do more! 100,000 soldiers and civilians could not be accommodated, and many people had to sleep in the wilderness for the time being. ”

Oriental Painting Brocade nodded approvingly: "Good boy, you have worked hard and done a good job!" Don't worry, it's the beginning of summer, and it doesn't matter much if you live in the wilderness! Now that there are so many people, before the arrival of late autumn, whether it is the palace, the military camp and the village, it should be able to be built! ”

He said solemnly: "Now, there are so many people on Ewha Island, and those beaches can't be mined, they have to be dug up." ”

Song Ci nodded: "That's right, this is a big deal, a big deal!" As soon as you dig up a mine, build a post nearby! Each outpost has a tentative 100 people, and mobile sentry posts are set up. ”

This decision was immediately and resolutely arranged.

In less than five hours, all the land mines were safely lifted out and locked in the stone house. The land mines were put in, and the people who had been placed in the stone house to guard them were transferred to build the house, and now they have been transferred back.

The capital of the Qin State was divided into a royal city, an inner city, and an outer city.

The Imperial City is further divided into: office area and residential area. The so-called office area is actually a diligent government hall, which is the place where hundreds of civil and military officials and the king of a country go to the early dynasty. In addition, next to the Qinzheng Palace, there is a small military camp, which is the dormitory and office of the Praetorian Guard.

The residential area is divided into Qianqing Palace, East Palace, Prince's Mansion, Princess's Mansion, Female Official's Residence, and Palace Maid's Residence. Bounded by the central axis, on the left is the Imperial Garden, the Imperial Dining Room, the Qianqing Palace, the Princess's Mansion, and the Prince's Mansion, and on the right is the Qinzheng Palace, the Barracks, the Imperial Hospital, the Residence of Female Officials and Palace Maids, the Lady's Residence, the Needlework Department, the Cleaning Department, and the Internal Affairs Office.

In the palace of Qin, there are no people like eunuchs.

Not to mention coming to Pear Blossom Island, even when he was in the capital, there were no eunuchs in the Qin Palace. Before marrying Dongfang Huajin, after Song Ci returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, he placed those eunuchs elsewhere. If you are old, go to another hospital to recuperate; The young ones go to the Grange to farm and do some light work to support themselves. Those who are willing to fend for themselves, as long as their character is passable and they have not made a big mistake, each person will be given three hundred taels of silver as a settlement allowance.

By the time late autumn arrived, the palace, barracks, villages, and cities were almost finished. The soldiers at the various outposts are also very good at fighting pirates and enemies of unknown origin. The new soldiers, also more or less drilled, the peasants have already harvested the first crops.

Ten military farms have been reclaimed on the entire Ewha Island, and farmers have also reclaimed 100,000 acres of land. Although it is late autumn, it is still a thriving scene, with the fragrance of fruit and the joy of harvest wafting in the air.

The Song Dynasty officially announced to the world and established a new dynasty, with the name of the country being Qin and the year name Changtai. canonized Oriental Painting Brocade as the princess, and the title was the Splendid Princess; Song Changhui was canonized as the crown prince, Song Ruhui as the princess of Rongfu, Song Yue as the princess of Jiafu, Song An as the king of Anjun, Song Hui as the king of Kangjun, and Song Kuan as the king of Pingjun.
