Taogong, a small city more than 100 kilometers away from Pattani, is also a city inhabited by Chinese, and later generations are mostly called Narathiwa.

Of course, there are not many traces of Chinese in Nalativa in later generations, eighty percent of the residents are Malays, and now, the Ye family has built six or seven dock forts here, and Malays rarely come here to settle here.

Ye Fulai, Ye Kai and his son, including most of the elders of the entire Ye family, came here, and they wanted to hold a ceremony that Chinese farmers had dreamed of for thousands of years, that is, to teach the fields by mouth.

"Huang Laosi!" A bookstore shouted loudly, and Huang Laosi, who had 50 acres of fertile land by the Tani River and was assigned a daughter-in-law, stepped forward happily again.

Because he took the initiative to ask Ying to take someone to raid the three-room warehouse, he is now the most trusted person of Ye Kai's father and son.

"Huang Lao's four families, a total of six men and three women, a total of 240 acres of land!" In the passionate voice of the clerk, Huang Laosi pressed his thumb print on several land deeds.

The surrounding people sounded bursts of exclamations, this is 240 acres of land, plus Huang Laosi's 50 acres of fertile land by the Tani River, a total of 290 acres of land, put it in Guangdong, that is the landlord.

As the names were shouted one by one, the crowd of joyful people was happier than the New Year, Ye Kai was right, most of the land was pinched in the hands of the leaders of each house, and there were really not many people who really had their own land, and even if they had land, they paid a lot of taxes to the top every year.

Ye Kai said this time that Ye Fulai took out the treasure left by his ancestor Yixin Gong, and bought everyone's land, and the patriarch and clan elder who wanted to be an official bought the land at half price, half of it was given in cash, and half was paid with the mortgage of Longsheng and Tangliao's dry shares.

As for the fields of ordinary clansmen, they are purchased at the market price, and since the fields are given by dictation later, it is basically equivalent to giving them money for nothing.

Of course, Ye Kai's money and Tian are not so easy to take, if you take Ye Kai's money and Tian, you have to sell your life, the previous Ye family soldiers were in charge of their own affairs most of the time, and when there was something, they would gather together to train for a few days.

At present, every adult male between the ages of 14 and 40 is required to train intensively for no less than 60 days a year, and usually exercises are conducted every two days in the village.

Among them, those who are proficient in the use of foreign guns or brave and brave will also be selected into the deputy guard, and the basic soldiers who are selected into the guard are full-time soldiers, in addition to exempting the rent and tax of individual acres, they will also allocate thirty acres from Ye Kai's sealed fields by the Tani River as food and clothing.

Ye Kai prepared to select 800 people for the first time, of which 300 would stay, and mix them with the 500 Luan Jue guards given by Rama I, and become the fundamental force for the Ye family to subdue the natives.

The remaining 500 people will be taken to Guangnan by Ye Kai and become Ye Kai's armed forces in Guangnan.

As for the ninth uncle Ye Wenxin, Ye Kai allowed him to return to the mainland with a property of no more than two hundred taels of silver, and Ye Fulai also sent a letter and handed it to his eldest brother Guishan County, asking him to buy twenty acres of paddy fields for Ye Wenxin and his second son Ye Fulin, and 'take care of it', Ye Wenxin can have a good death in the future, and there is no problem with a full meal, don't think about the rest!

This is also something that can't be helped, Ye Wenxin is Ye Kai's uncle after all, in this era when the family is big and respects the elders, Ye Kai not only can't do anything to Ye Wenxin, but also needs to arrange it well, so as to conform to the values at that time!

What's more important is that you can't poke out Ye Wenxin's collusion with the Malays, if you really have to poke it out, the Ye family's reputation in the Nanyang Chinese circle will be ruined!

However, although Ye Wenxin is gone, his eldest grandson Ye Zhenwu stayed, first, this Ye Zhenwu is indeed a talent, and second, Ye Kai can also let Ye Wenxin cast a mouse trap in the mainland, so as not to let him go around talking nonsense.

"Young Master! Young master, a man surnamed Gu came out and said that he had something important to look for you! When Ye Kai was presiding over the division of the field, Ah Shan hurriedly ran over, Ye Kai frowned, he didn't know anyone surnamed Gu!

"Tang newcomer Gu Lihuan has seen Ye Houye!" A young man who was not very tall, but with attentive eyes and a steady walk, walked over.

He shouted that he had seen Ye Houye, but the thumb and index finger on his hand arched to form a circle, and the other three fingers were straight up, and then his hands were crossed, which was a gesture for the first time to meet the people in the Hongmen.

Gu Lihuan? Ye Kai read softly, and suddenly, he thought of a famous Chinese in Nanyang, who seemed to be this name.

"Zunjia Xianxiang is Tong'an County, Fujian Province?"

"That's right, it's from Tong'an County, and Ye Hou knows you?"

Gu Lihuan was also a little surprised, he was twenty-three years old this year, he had just gone to Nanyang, it was impossible for Ye Kai to know him!

"Hahaha! I just asked, Brother Gu, please take a seat, Ashan, go and tell the kitchen to cook a few good Fujian dishes, today I want to have a drink with Brother Gu. ”

Ye Kaile is really Gu Lihuan, this old man is not simple, he was originally a member of the Tiandihui in Fujian, and last year he was wanted by the Qing court for carrying out a movement against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty and protecting the people in his hometown of Tong'an, so he had to borrow money to go to Nanyang.

Historically, he wandered in Bangkok, Pattani and other places, and finally chose to go to Penang, which was later Penang.

With the support of Captain Wright of the British East India Company, Koo Laihuan, who was quite politically savvy and proficient in business, quickly built this small island into an important seaport with a population of 70,000 or 80,000 to guard the Strait of Malacca.

At that time, when there was a conflict between the British East India Company and the Sultan of Jeddah and the Siamese royal family, they all asked Koo Lihuan to mediate, and any white man who wanted to do business or open a company in Penang had to come to Koo Lihuan's pier first.

In the 21st century before Ye Kai crossed, Penang, Malaysia was still a Chinese-majority city, and you couldn't even feel like you were going abroad when you walked in Penang, which was all due to Gu Lihuan.

His grandson is the famous Nanyang wealthy businessman Gu Ziyun, and Gu Ziyun also has a more famous son, that is, the master of Chinese culture in the late Qing Dynasty, who was born in Nanyang, studied in the West, married in the East, and was in Beiyang, with thirteen doctorates.

Such a cow, how can Ye Kai let it go?

He has always been worried that after he goes to Europe, there is a lack of a brave and resourceful person in the field of Pattani, and this Gu Lihuan is simply the most suitable person to send to his door.

Gu Lihuan was originally a little apprehensive, after he was wanted, he only took a dozen brothers and ran to Nanyang, all the way from Ha Tien Town, Vietnam to Bangkok, and then to Pattani, no one took him, a twenty-three-year-old hairy boy, as a dish, and sent away the two money for the good ones, and the bad ones just managed the meal and there was no follow-up, and he was simply treated as a begging for food.

The dish is a classic Fujian dish, stir-fried double crispy, light snail slices, lychee meat, and wine is available in all kinds of wines from the east, west, north and south.

Gu Lihuan, who has been eating pig food for more than half a year, ate several chopsticks in a row, and then sighed, this is the first hometown dish he has eaten since leaving Fujian, and the first courtesy he has received.

As for the dozen or so brothers he had brought, the sound of eating in the outhouse could be heard even in the inner room.
