The village plans to wait for the accumulation of more food, and then start a side business. Livestock farming. Only when the villagers can eat meat will their bodies be healthy.

Further out are the paddy fields that have been carved out. This part of Java has abundant rain and plenty of water. So growing rice is the best choice. And the best part is that it's tropical, so you can farm all year round. Therefore, the rice in front of Liu Pei has begun to tassel, and it will be harvested in another twenty days.

Zhao Dabao said beside him: "Dashuai, we have calculated that we have a lot of surplus grain after this harvest. We are going to sell some of the surplus grain and exchange it for some chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other livestock. We have enough food to raise these livestock. By the time of next year, there will be enough meat to eat in the village. ”

Liu Pei walked slowly while listening to Zhao Dabao's talk about the arrangements for the village in the next few years. From Liu Pei's point of view, Zhao Dabao's arrangements for the next few years are very organized. As long as he follows his arrangement, the village will soon prosper.

And Zhao Dabao was soberly aware that their village was already the village at the end of this Tamsui River. If they want to develop inland, their village will become a transit place connecting the inland with rivers and open seas. So he had already prepared plans to set up a market in his village. Just wait for it to be useful when it expands inland in the future.

That night, Liu Pei and his group had dinner at Zhao Dabao's house, and the only two old people in the village came to accompany them. With these two old men, Liu Pei also learned more about the village. I also know what these villagers really need.

Liu Pei also promised to help them solve some practical difficulties. But Liu Pei still urged Zhao Dabao to insist on implementing the reading and literacy of the whole village.

Liu Pei told them that if they want to get out of the mountain village and go further, they can only study. Not to mention things like reading and reasoning, at least after you get out of the mountain village, you don't have to worry about being cheated on things like signing a contract.

The next day, Liu Pei sailed down the river and boarded the Black Hawk again to head north. On the way, I visited several villages and found that everyone had the same problem. It's just that meat is relatively scarce. But the villagers are optimistic

They think that the current life is like heaven and earth compared to before, and it will definitely get better in the future.

At the same time, Liu Pei found that many villages were also facing the threat of natives. Liu Pei felt the need to expand the army again. Because Liu Pei found that some villages were already very close to the local indigenous kingdom. Once those indigenous kingdoms gather men and invade on a large scale, they may not be able to resist the strength of the villages themselves.

However, Liu Pei had already instructed the local garrison to pursue a deterrent strategy. Even if one of us dies, the other party must die ten people! You must beat them to be scared and hurt, so that they will be honest. Otherwise, the barbaric natives will only think of plundering the fruits of others.

Therefore, Liu Pei pondered that the matter of war with the Turen Kingdom in the future must be included in the plan. But at present, Liu Pei does not have the strength to take the initiative to start a war, but he must guard against the opponent's counterattack. After all, Liu Pei is snatching their territory.

Liu Pei's next stop came directly to Penghu. At this time, Penghu has changed greatly compared to the original Penghu! On the whole, the volume has increased several times! Except for the avenue leading from the dock to the trading center, everything else has swelled.

At the end of the avenue is the trading center, with two barracks on the left and right. Because there are so many people here, the garrison must be increased. A new barracks have been added.

The right side of the main road is divided into many new roads, crisscrossed by them. In the middle of the road are various shops. Restaurants, inns. It looks like business is booming. Merchants and brokers haggle here.

On the left side of the road is a huge warehouse densely packed. Countless workers pushed carts around the warehouse. The newly arrived goods are brought into the warehouse, and the goods in the warehouse are transported to the sea ship. It can be said that now the entire Penghu Island has been turned into a huge open-air shopping mall.

Everyone in Penghu knows Liu Pei. As soon as everyone saw the red goggles appear, they knew that the lord of the land had appeared. So they came up to say hello, and they were very enthusiastic! Liu Pei naturally wanted to return the gift.

After a few days of inspection in Penghu, Liu Pei found that everything was running well. And taxes are very abundant. rushed directly to Taiwan to join Fang Degang.

After the two met, Liu Pei took him all the way

The collected information was formed into a document and handed over to Fang Degang, and put forward his own suggestions.

After a few days of discussion, Liu Pei and Fang Degang reached an agreement. It's just that there should be no big changes in general. The focus is still on people's livelihood. Be sure to immigrate the affluence of the family. Only when they have all been converted from slaves to freemen can they have the motivation to produce, to pay taxes, and to become soldiers.

The second change is Liu Pei's decision not to develop into the interior of Southeast Asia. Instead, they started building roads on existing settlements to connect them. In this way, with a small number of troops, you can quickly attack and keep several villages.

Doing so would free up a large number of troops, and it would not be necessary to garrison soldiers in every village, as is the case now. This is a great waste of military power. Free up those soldiers to attack the smaller tribes of the natives, opening up more space and capturing more slaves.

After discussing with Fang Degang, Liu Pei made a special trip to the shipyard in Taiwan. Now working here are a group of masters separated from the Shandong shipyard. They can't build big ships now, but there is no problem in getting to small fifth- and sixth-class cruisers and Chinese-style sea ships.

There are currently 20 docks in the shipyard, but only eight docks are currently working. Only when the training of craftsmen is proficient in the future, will the recruitment of more people be expanded.

And due to the arrival of Southeast Asia, a large amount of teak was cut down and dragged to Taiwan. This freed Liu Pei's shipbuilding materials from restrictions and gave him more options.

After Liu Pei left Taiwan, he rushed directly to Hokkaido, where many Han people have developed in Hokkaido. But because it was too close to Japan, Liu Pei did not dare to let the Japanese land in Hokkaido. If they landed in Hokkaido, wouldn't it be no different from not ceding it!

After Liu Pei boarded the dock, the local governor came to greet Liu Pei. It's just that this governor doesn't look like a governor. Dressed in short clothes and fast boots, he looks like a martial artist.

Liu Hui knew this person. This person's name is Lu Yang, who was born in a horse household in Shandong and has a family heirloom horse raising skills. It's just that he was forced too much by the government, so he simply fell into the grass and became a horse bandit. Later, when Liu Pei sent people to clean up the horse bandits, he was arrested.
