The Great Song Dynasty in the first year of Chonghe was not very peaceful, and in addition to the noise of the chaotic law such as Huashigang, there was another flood on the southeast roads.

Although the people's power of the Great Song Dynasty is getting weaker and weaker day by day, the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and as the largest economy in the whole world, the scale of its commercial activities is still considerable. The spices and corals from the southeast, and the Beizhu and glaze from the northeast all flowed into Fujian and Zhejiang through Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou and Dengzhou, and were quickly digested by the huge Chinese market.

As for the displaced people in the southeast, in addition to receiving government relief, they have another way out: to go overseas!

Going to sea was still a rather risky choice for the peasants of this era, but when people really couldn't survive, they had to try everything. Although the Great Song Dynasty was quite tolerant of the entry and exit of the people into and out of the sea, it was better not to be known by the imperial court if possible, so the civilian ships waiting on the Liangzhejiang Road, Huaidong Road, and Fujian Road acted quietly, and only tens of thousands of people slipped away on the coast of more than 1,000 miles in a few months—and this number was a drop in the bucket compared to the population of the people affected by the disaster. Because of the small percentage, local officials either don't know about it at all, or they see clues and turn a blind eye to them.

When these desperate people arrived on the big island overseas, they found that the situation was much better than expected—what awaited them here was wasteland that could be reclaimed, farm tools and seeds that could be rented by hand, and even ploughing cattle! Although there is a miasma as a problem, and the water and soil are not quite the same as those in my hometown, as long as the body is strong enough, I can't die.

Most of the petty officials who called themselves Han were of limited literacy, but they were very good at how to open up wasteland and how to settle new immigrants - a skill they had developed in the past few years in the Tongtong River Valley! The granary of Jilong Harbor is stocked with corn, sweet potatoes, and wheat, enough for them to eat for half a year. And several large ships of thousands of materials in Quanzhou also kept transporting the seeds of Champa rice.

Seeing the wells of sugar cane fields and rice fields appear in front of him in an orderly manner, Ouyang Shi, who had endured more than half a year of painful years, finally smiled. In the past six months, he and the new immigrants have experienced the invasion of miasma, and before getting used to the water and soil here, he had a serious illness, and some people who couldn't survive died, while those who survived were like Ouyang Shi, and their hearts were full of a sense of happiness after the catastrophe.

When the autumn wind rose, three more large ships came to the Heishui Ocean route, loaded with farm tools, grain and medicine - Yang Yingqi still spared no effort to support the development of this large island in the face of high grain prices in Jinmen - even when he was not in Jinmen, his subordinate bureaucrats were carrying out the policy he had planned for a long time. However, Ouyang Shi knew that as long as the rice in the second season of this year could be harvested smoothly, the Daliuqiu Island would no longer need grain assistance from Jinmen, and could even feed back to the Liaodong Peninsula.

"Three years? Five years? Where does it take so long! Ouyang Shi smiled at the north: "Boss, your vision is good, but you still look at this treasure island too little!" By next year at the latest, as soon as the monsoon comes, I will transport rice north to bring down the grain price in Jinmen! ”

After the three big ships entered the port of Chicken Coop, two old ships appeared at the surface of the sea - they were ships transporting migrants. The owner of these two ships, Chen Ah Da, was a native of Chaozhou, and this time he sent a total of 600 poor men in rags. Ouyang Shi glanced at it, and saw that the dozens of people in front of him were all dried by the sea breeze, and at a glance, he knew that they were people begging for a living by the sea. Displeased: "You Teochew guy who should be killed!" I told you to go and pick up those who volunteered to go to sea, how did you take the fishermen off the coast? ”

Chen Ada's two old ships were rented from Ouyang Shi, and there was no need to rent them, as long as he could transport five thousand immigrants to Jilong Port, these two ships would belong to him. In addition, every time he sent someone, Ouyang Shi would also subsidize him with Song Qian and half a bucket of grain. As for how Chen Adaa operates, Ouyang Shi doesn't care.

When Chen Adaa saw Ouyang Shi say this, he hurriedly shouted: "Where is this thing!" They themselves came willingly. General Ouyang, you didn't say don't want coastal people! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "I don't mean to don't want coastal people, it's just that these people look like they were cheated by you." ”

"No, no! Never! ”

"Well, forget it then." Ouyang Shi waved his hand and asked Chen Ah Da and them to receive the reward.

There were small officials on the island who took these new immigrants to collect tools, grain and seeds, and after everyone was gone, there was a man with a scumbag face sitting on the shore in a daze looking at the tide.

"Hey! That man! Ouyang Shi shouted: "Go to the village to get food!" ”

But the man ignored it, still staring blankly at the sea. Ouyang Shi asked Chen Ada: "Is this person a fool?" ”

"This ...... Probably not. ”

Ouyang Shi asked again: "Then why is he doing this?" ”

"This ...... Where do I know. ”

Ouyang Shi saw that his expression was a little strange when he spoke, and his face was a little fierce: "The surname is Chen, you tell me the truth!" How the hell did you people get here! "Hold your hand on the hilt.

Chen Ah was shocked, after he rented a sea ship in the past six months, he was actually doing a semi-pirate job, and he had already made a lot of fame near the strait, but in front of Ouyang Shi, he was still a small role that was nothing, and being killed by him for a reason was not like pinching an ant to death? Busy said: "General! Most of these people are victims who have been exiled to the seashore of Huainan East Road! If you don't believe me, ask them one by one! But there are dozens of them that I did recruit on the island...... The islander. ”

"Recruited? I'm afraid I was tricked. Never mind. Ouyang Shi said: "If these people can't plant fields, let them get on the boat to be a sailor." But what about that person? ”

Chen Adaa pointed at the man in a daze and said, "General Ouyang, do you mean him?" Well, this guy's background is a little different from others. Well, I'll tell you the truth. In the middle of the year, we took advantage of the south wind to get to Salmon Island......"

Ouyang Shiqi said: "Shamen Island? You used these two broken boats to get to Salmon Island? What a skill! ”

Chen Ah Da smiled and said, "Tailwind! Just tailwind. ”

Ouyang Shi asked, "What are you doing on Salmon Island?" ”

Chen Adao: "That's right, two years ago, my younger brother violated military law and was sent to Salmon Island......"

"Oh, so you're going to get him out?"

"Yes, yes, we anchored in a remote corner of Salmon Island, and we were about to leave after contacting my brother Chen Asan, but we found this person in a daze on the beach. We were afraid that he would denounce him, so we took him away as well. At first, I wanted to pull him into the gang, but who knew that this guy would be in a daze all day when he arrived on the ship! I thought it was not right to put him on the boat, so I let him go ashore with the victims. ”

Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "You didn't think of killing people and just taking him away, it seems that you, a pirate, can't get home." Not bad, not bad. But he's a fool, and if you bring me and ask me for the same money, isn't that a clear way to take advantage of me? ”

Chen A'er hurriedly said: "General Ouyang, you have great powers, maybe you can cure him." Besides, this person is a scholar, and he may be useful to you, general. ”

"Reader? How did you become a reader again? ”

"His clothes are in tatters, but sometimes some sour air slips out of his mouth, and I think this person may be an official exiled by the imperial court."

"An official exiled by the imperial court?"

"I'm just guessing."

Ouyang Shi snorted and said, "I'll tell you, if you have the courage to hide from me to do pirate business, even if you don't get caught by me, even if you are capable." But if you dare to do evil under the banner of your grandfather and me, then even if you escape to Mayi, I can get you back! ”

Chen Ah hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare!" General Ouyang's ability and face, who doesn't know in the entire East China Sea! The four major families didn't dare to say a word when they saw your post. Chen Ah Da didn't dare to make a bad deal in front of you even if he ate shark gall! ”

This sycophant was shot just right, Ouyang Shi smiled when he heard this, and sent him away. Then he walked up to the man and asked, "Hey! What is your name? Where are you from? ”

The man looked up at him, picked up a dead branch and wrote the words "Chen Zhengtong" on the beach, Ouyang Shi frowned and said, "Chen Zhengguo...... Positive results? What a cheesy name. ”

The man rolled his eyes when he heard this, erased the last word, and changed it to the word "Hui", Ouyang Shi shouted: "It turns out that Reading Hui, then just call it Chen Zhenghui, why do you still use such a partial word." The person who named you must have something wrong with his head. ”

The man Chen Zhenghui said angrily: "The island is barbaric, and I don't know filial piety etiquette!" He used the word filial piety, presumably from his parents.

Ouyang Shi saw that he was angry, and said in his heart: "It seems that this person is not a fool. He laughed, "So you're not dumb. I'm afraid you'll be dumb. I said that the surname is Chen, I see that you are also a scholar, why did you run to Salmon Island? It's a place of exile for sinners. ”

Chen Zhenghui snorted and didn't speak, Ouyang Shi has been more or less influenced by Yang Yingqi in the past few years, and seeing that he is the most scholar-like among tens of thousands of immigrants, he has two more points of tolerance in his heart, and said patiently: "Surname...... This one...... Brother Zhenghui, the sea breeze is strong here, let's go into the village. I'll wash you off and crush you. ”

Chen Zhenghui is not a person who does not know what to do, and after listening to Ouyang Shi speak to himself as much as possible, he got up and said, "I said, what kind of Haiyi island country are you here?" Why did you kidnap my Chinese people? ”
