Li Kang thought about it and was extremely afraid, how could the old brother know that there was a scholar named Haihan in Qiongzhou Mansion, could it be that the old brother's hometown was Qiongzhou?

Hey...

Where is the old brother from?

Now he realized that he knew very little about the old brother, and he didn't even seem to know where his mansion was......

"Do you have a family with a high surname in your village?"

Lao Xiucai shook his head.

If he hadn't eaten the letter, Li Kangding would have taken it out and looked at it again.

Not long after, a weak scholar was brought to the yamen.

He was very weak, no different from the homeless people he had collected, as if he couldn't open the pot at home, but he was dressed in Confucian clothes, but he was extremely clean.

The scholar was a little afraid when he saw him, "I've seen Master Li, I've seen Lord Qincha, what's the matter with adults looking for students?" ”

"Do you speak toast?"

"Yes! The student is the toast......"

Li Kang was overjoyed and said to Li Tingyu: "The official wants to take him back to the camp, and the rest will be up to Lord Lao Li." ”

The scribe in the yamen is not stronger than this one Lisheng? Li Tingyu was puzzled, but still nodded.

Haihan mounted his horse and followed away from Fucheng, without even packing his luggage, and asked with some trepidation: "Where do you want to take the students?" ”

"Go back to Tuntian Camp!"

Half an hour later, we arrived at the depths of the suburbs of Qiongzhou's capital city.

Haihan saw that a large area of land had been reclaimed here, and it was lush and green.

There are also wooden piles around it, towering beacons, and soldiers guarding them.

Xu Jinzhong saw that Li Kang brought back a scholar, who was not wearing an official uniform, and he didn't look like a person from the yamen, "Why did you bring a student back?" ”

"This is what the old brother said about Haihan!"

"He's Haihan?!"

Xu Jinzhong glared at Haihan.

How did the overseer know that there was someone named Haihan in Qiongzhou Mansion?

Haihan asked, "What do adults do when they let students come to camp?" ”

The camp here was different from what he had thought, as far as the eye could see, there were patches of fresh seedlings, and where he was standing, a group of newly built barracks, full of homeless people, and a pair of hungry eyes, which made him afraid.

It's not like some serious army.

"You come with me and ask those toasts what they want to do."

Xu Jinzhong took him to the outskirts of the camp, those Tusi spies had not yet left, and from a long distance, Hai Han said a few words, and Tusi responded a few words.

"My lord, they want to see what you want to plant, and they want to ask for seeds and iron tools."

Most of the people in Hainan are salt and egg households, and few of them farm.

During the Hongwu period, the imperial court set up six salt farms in Hainan's Thanksgiving, Ma Yuan, Lehui, Lanxin, Xin'an, and Linchuan.

The so-called egg households, mainly fishing for a living, are under the jurisdiction of the Hebo, and there are eleven Hebos in Qiongzhou.

The rations of the people of Hainan mainly depend on foreign grain transported from Guangdong.

There is not much arable land on the island, there is no extra iron equipment, and there is a lack of cattle.

Seeing such a large piece of wasteland reclaimed here, the toasts naturally thought about it.

"This is the military field of the imperial court, you tell them, let them leave." Xu Jinzhong didn't want to mess with the toast, he just wanted to silently tuntian.

Haihan said a few words, and the toast scout scolded and left.

Back in the barracks, Xu Jinzhong looked at Haihan, "Lord Yan Chengjin in the court, do you recognize him?" ”

Haihan shook his head.

Xu Jinzhong suspected that Lord Yan's biological mother's surname was Hai.

"Then in your clan, is there anyone who is far away from marrying a lady named Yan Kesong?"

Haihan shook his head again.

It's not even at all, it's strange, how does Lord Yan know about Haihan?

Xu Jinzhong was completely convinced this time.

Haihan squatted in the field, looked at a green seedling, and then raised his head to look at Xu Jinzhong: "Dare to ask my lord, what are these?" ”

"Corn, Hainan wants to plant all of this thing." Xu Jinzhong didn't care: "No one in the camp will negotiate with Tusi, so I came to you, and I will be ordered by the imperial court to expand the territory of the Tuntian camp to the whole of Hainan." ”

Haihan hesitated: "My lord doesn't know, there are many Tusi in Hainan, just like many small countries, especially the Hui people, they are a huge Tusi force, to reclaim the wasteland in Hainan, it is bound to have a confrontation with Tusi, I don't know how many small countries to conquer......"

Alas......

Xu Jinzhong had a headache, and when he came to Hainan, he brought very few weapons and horses except for iron tools.

There are no horse farms and iron smelting plants in Hainan.

Horses and weapons are mostly foreign and extremely scarce.

It is impossible to equip a well-equipped army to attack Tusi.

"This official doesn't know how to march and fight, and expand the territory, so please ask Xu Qianhu." Li Kang looked at this vast countryside: "The land here is fertile, and Tusi doesn't know how to farm, it's a pity." ”

Even in winter, rice can still grow seedlings, which is amazing!

The displaced people cultivated 5,000 acres of wasteland here and planted a lot of food.

Xu Jinzhong held his forehead, where is it so easy to hit toast?

Saying that he would only farm and not fight, he finally applied to the life of a farmer, and his ......

However, there are also advantages, Tusi's horses and weapons are also scarce, and there are no cavalry and magic machines.

The topography of Hainan is flatter than that of Yunnan-Guizhou.

There are no dense forests and cliffs, and there is no war with the toasts, and there is no fear that they will hide.

It's better than the toast in Guizhou.

Xu Jinzhong suddenly asked: "In Lord Yan's letters, are there any to this thousand households?" ”

"Wait, take a look."

Li Kang returned to the camp and opened Yan Chengjin's letter, and there was really one that read: Fight against Toast

When I opened it, there were also very few words, only four words: vertical and horizontal.

A cross was also drawn.

He couldn't understand Yan Chengjin's deep meaning, so he hurriedly gave it to Xu Jinzhong.

Xu Jinzhong is a bit educated, has read military books, and knows Yan Chengjin's deep meaning.

I heard Li Tingyu say that the toasts in Hainan are like small countries, and there are disputes between them......

You can also play.

"Assemble! From today onwards, the soldiers of the Tuntian Battalion will drill the Mandarin Duck Formation of the head of the Wang Sect! Xu Jinzhong shouted.

The pro-soldiers brought the map of Hainan.

Qiongzhou Mansion is a small piece of Hainan, and the suburbs where they are located are a small piece of Qiongzhou Mansion.

Xu Jinzhong painted the reclaimed sections with colors, and the rest of the unpainted ones were all waiting to be reclaimed.

"Let's connect the small toast around Hengqiong Prefecture first."

……

The capital, covered with snow, falls on the roof of the Metropolitan Inspectorate.

The north wind blew and blew his face painfully.

Dai Shan stood in front of the door and sighed:

"It's snowing heavily again, and I don't know how much grain there is in the state and county capitals."

Walking into the duty room, I saw that everyone was holding a "pillow".

"Gongqian, you...... What's in your arms? ”

Yu Shi on the side smiled flatteringly: "This is called a hot water bladder, cover your stomach, warm!" Much more comfortable than the soup woman! ”

Dai Shan's heart moved, so she took it.

It's so comfortable!

The outside is soft cotton wool, which is extremely warm when pinched, and I hold it in my arms and am reluctant to put it down.

"It's comfortable!"

He Gongqian looked at it with a blank eye, and his hot water bladder was ravaged by Dai Shan.

"My lord, it's time to go to the court!"

"The room is warm, you don't need it, this thing, borrow the old man to use it."

Dai Shan covered the hot water bladder and happily went to the East Warm Pavilion, this thing was covered on her stomach, which was extremely comfortable.

He wanted to ask the other Jiuqing for a while, but when he walked to the left door, he found that many people were carrying this thing.

"This ...... Where did you buy it? ”

"In the shops in Liangxiang, there is a store that specializes in selling hot water bladders, called hot water bladder flagship stores."

"What a profound name, who came up with it?"

"I don't know."

The Zhang brothers only bought a hot water bladder.

So, the brothers stood facing each other, their hands in a hot water bladder......

"Brother, it's so warm."

"If this thing is sold to the capital, it will definitely make money."

The brothers of the Zhang family made up their minds and sent people to the shops in Liangxiang to purchase them.

In later generations, the hot water bottle cost a few yuan a person, but when it came to the Ming Dynasty, it became a pastime for the gentry.

Yan Chengjin didn't cover the hot water bottle, and it leaked if he was not careful, which was too dangerous.

The house slaughtered a sheep, ate the mutton, scraped off the wool, and just let Chunxiao and Qianjin weave a pair of wool gloves.

He wore it on his hand and it was extremely warm.

Poop!

The bell rings.

Left and right doors, the ministers lined up and walked through, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, went to the Dongnuan Pavilion, and it was not cold in the main hall.

Entering the main hall, the door supervisor closed the door, Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, and the two fools of the Zhang family stood facing each other, what posture is this?

"Ning Houhou, Jian Changbo! What are you two doing? ”
