Chapter 204: Qiongzhou Pioneering
The sun rises in the east, and the sky is full of light.
Fengtian Temple,
Hundreds of officials stood in the main hall, except for the lack of a person at the head of the ceremonial department, everything else remained unchanged.
The agenda of the imperial court remained unchanged, dealing with the military affairs of the Nine Sides first, then the livelihood of the people in various places, and finally the resignation application.
Officials in various places who ask for beggars will be notified in the resignation application process.
After the early dynasty, Yan Chengjin returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to learn impeachment and sparse playing.
……
Hainan
Li Kang and Xu Jinzhong have finally landed, this is a warm island, and by October, the capital must be freezing.
It's as warm as spring here?
After more than a month of sailing, the homeless people and the captains of Tuntian were unbearable, and it was a good feeling to be down-to-earth at the moment.
Everything as far as the eye can see, lush.
Xu Jinzhong showed a long-lost smile and asked Li Kangdao: "Where are we reclaiming?" ”
"Where the wasteland is opened."
Xu Jinzhong's face was miserable: "This island is full of wasteland, all open?" ”
Li Kang nodded: "Exactly, that's what the old brother said." ”
Hainan has few inhabitants, lacks iron tools, and has very little wasteland, so Yan Chengjin's original intention is to open up the entire wasteland on the island.
Only rice and corn are planted, and the rest is not used.
"Lord Yan said that rice can be three kinds a year, and it can be planted in winter, don't miss the season, wait for the official to give His Majesty's holy edict to the prefectures and counties, and you can use the wasteland on the island at will." Li Kang said.
Xu Jinzhong remembered what Yan Chengjin told him, beware of the Tusi rebellion and grain grabbing, there are many wastelands on the island that are barbarian Tusi, and His Majesty's holy edict may not work.
"Which state capital to go to first?"
Li Kang didn't know either, and said, "You wait for the official first." ”
Walk to the side and crouch down in the grass.
glanced left and right, there was no one around, and took out Yan Chengjin's letter.
I saw that on the letter, there was a letter that read: After landing on the shore, I will open this letter in person
Li Kang hurriedly opened the letter: Qiongzhou Mansion, Haihan
"What does Haihan mean? Sounds like a place name. Li Kang guessed.
After seeing the letter, there are five small words:
After reading it, ate it
Yes, Li Kang found out that he was not mistaken, it was "eating it." ”
"How does the old brother know that there is no fire here?"
Li Kang tore up the paper, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it for a long time before running out of the grass: "Water...... Quickly give this official water. ”
The kind-hearted Xu Jinzhong hurriedly handed over the water bag: "Why are you choking?" ”
Li Kang poured a few mouthfuls of water before swallowing the letter.
"Let's go to Qiongzhou Mansion first."
Xu Jinzhong knew that stepping on this land under his feet was the scope of Qiongzhou Mansion.
It is the hometown of the deceased old Qiu Jun, and there are relatively few toasts, so it is a good place to settle in Qiongzhou Mansion.
Qiongzhou is not much different from the poor counties of Beizhili, but you can see a large area of wasteland here, and no canals have been laid.
The displaced people and the Tuntian guards brought down the farm tools they had brought.
This team will cause a sensation wherever it goes.
One toast may not be able to dispatch so many people.
Li Kang sent the oracle to Qiongzhou Mansion, and Li Tingyu, the magistrate of Qiongzhou Prefecture, was ordered to take out the fish scale atlas.
"Lord Chincha, as long as the land is not in the fish scale atlas, it can be cultivated, but it is ...... Some lands are privately confined by the toast, so adults should be careful. ”
"Lord Li, can there be a place in Qiongzhou Mansion with Haihan?"
"I haven't heard of it."
Li Kang wondered, isn't it in Qiongzhou Mansion?
Qiongzhou Prefecture does not provide room and board.
It's all up to them.
Tuntian camp is good at building and farming, and quickly opened up a small area in the suburbs of Qiongzhou to set up barracks.
"This place is under the jurisdiction of Qiongzhou Prefecture, let's open this land tomorrow."
Li Kang looked at it, there were at least more than 10,000 acres, and the height was uneven.
Xu Jinzhong was puzzled: "Lord Li, although this wasteland is wet, it is not a paddy field, and there are no ditches around, can it be planted?" ”
"The old brother said that corn can be planted in dry land, not in the water field."
General Xu Jinzhong was suspicious, the name corn was still temporary, Daming had never planted it, how did the overseer know that it could be planted in dry land?
Iron tools were distributed to the homeless people and the tuntian camp, and except for a few men who stayed in the camp, the rest of the people were all cleared.
"This land is difficult to open, and there are big stones under the grass, no wonder the toast and the people don't want it." Xu Jinzhong still felt strange, but now he understands.
There was no water source at the station, so you had to walk to a river a few miles away.
Xu Jin Zhongzhi ordered people to try to dig a well next to the station.
"My lord! It's toast! ”
Xu Jinzhong looked up, and there were about 100 people, dressed in strange costumes, walking towards this side.
“”
Xu Jinzhong looked confused.
"Damn it, draw your sword first, brothers! Draw the knife! ”
More than 1,000 Tun Tianwei pulled out their swords, and the white blade was dazzling, and a piece of light lit up.
The toasts were so shocked that they stood where they were, not daring to approach, and glanced at the wasteland, and then turned back.
"Tusi has to be guarded, a few of you patrol, the grass and trees here are eyesore, and the spirit is a little exciting." Xu Jinzhong ordered a few guards around him.
Li Kang said: "I have to go to the yamen to ask for a Xu official who knows Tusi dialect." ”
Xu Jinzhong nodded, I don't know if those toasts are friends or foes, but fortunately he is witty, so he will draw his knife first.
"However, in Guizhou, Yunnan and other places, there are often collusions between officials and Tusi, which is not reassuring."
Xu Jinzhong went to Guizhou to quell the rebellion, and he had a lot of eyes.
Even if the officials and Tusi colluded in person, they couldn't hear it.
"That's right." Li Kang suddenly thought.
Will the old brother say Fu Han be a human?
"It should be that I am too careful, the old brother has never been to Hainan, how would he know that there is someone named Haihan here?"
More than 5,000 people opened up the wasteland very quickly, and in a moment's effort, one acre of land was opened.
Li Kang brought a shovel, put the corn in it, and buried the soil again.
"That's fine?"
"Hmm!"
Xu Jinzhong was apprehensive in his heart, he came all the way to plant corn, and he had to go elsewhere, "How long will it take?" ”
"For more than two months, the official doesn't know."
Dig a pit three feet apart, and put two golden fruits in each pit.
Li Kang counted one grain at a time, for fear of putting too much.
There are at least 10,000 hectares of land here, and there is not enough corn to grow.
"My lord, there is the head of King Yue on the tree over there." The pro-army offered several large coconuts.
Xu Jinzhong looked left and right, this thing was like a wooden head, hard, he waved his sword to split one, and handed it to Li Kang: "There is no water to drink here, let's try this first, when you went to the yamen, I bought one with the vendor, and it tasted very good." ”
"Hmm." Li Kang took it unceremoniously.
"Anything else? Get them all back to the barracks. ”
The pro-army looked embarrassed: "Yes, yes, the toast will not be picked." ”
Eighty percent is the head of the king of Yue of the Tusi species, which was stolen back by them, and in the fish scale atlas, it is surrounded by the wasteland of the imperial court, Li Kang said: "This should be the place where Lord Li said that the Tusi was privately confined." ”
"How many are there?" Xu Jinzhong asked, if the number of people is not large, the toast can be knocked down.
"My subordinates don't know, the village doesn't seem to be here."
The land that was forbidden by the Tusi was moved, there would inevitably be conflicts, and the Tusi did not accept the governance of the imperial court, and the resistance was extremely fierce, and there was constant friction with the provinces of Hainan all the year round.
Xu Jinzhong inspected the circle and ordered his subordinates to build a few beacon towers around the camp and use wood.
