PS: It's hard to describe this New Year. Nothing else, may everyone be safe.

Therefore, Fuzhou had already begun preparations before the arrival of a large number of immigrants and soldiers.

He hoarded as much food as he could, not only growing it himself, but also trading with the natives of the many islands to the south, buying rice from them.

Including the harvest before, the current Fuzhou City, the storage of grain and rice is as high as nearly 200,000 stones, and there are thousands of stones of various seafood dry goods, how can there be no seafood in the tropical ocean. Sun-dried fruit shops, dried fruits, and jams were also crammed into several warehouses.

With the existing reserves in the city, even if there are nearly 10,000 more migrant soldiers, it will be enough for half a year.

When all kinds of nutrients required by the human body are fully satisfied, the simple consumption of food is really not much.

Like when he first crossed before, the monthly per capita ration of the soldiers in the army could only be regarded as making do. Just because there was no oil and water in people's stomachs at that time, everything needed was only supplied by grain, and five catties of grain and rice a day were considered a 'astronomical' ration in the eyes of later generations, but in the first year of Jingkang, they could only ask the soldiers to fill their stomachs.

But now?

The sea has no lid, and the immigrants and soldiers of the South Seas have never lacked meat. Coupled with some fresh fruits collected, the fruits in this place are super abundant, and the quality of life is even higher than that of some of the main combat units in the interior.

However, by now, the agricultural planting activities of Fuzhou immigrants this year have all ended, and the rainy season will be followed by half a year. However, those natives still have to continue to grow rice, and the immigrants from Lingnan do not have to go to the fields anymore.

Of course, they were not raised for nothing in the following time, and the Fuzhou government would also organize them to repair houses, build city walls, cut wood, quarry, burn bricks, reclaim wasteland, and even dig a nearby coal mine.

In the rainy season in the South Seas, of course, there is a lot of rain, but it does not rain all day. It often comes and goes, it doesn't last long, and the tropical rain comes and goes as fast as it comes.

In a sense, it is still very similar to the climate of Lingnan, so it can still work in the rainy season.

Just to better protect themselves from getting sick, they came to Luzon for three years, and the immigrants only went to the fields during the dry season.

But even if they don't go to the ground, they won't be idle, just like in the dry season, they have endless errands all day long.

It's still a wasteland period, and now it's full of places to employ people, and people are needed everywhere, but those natives are lazy and stupid, and their enthusiasm for work is also very low, and they always dig hollow thoughts to escape, which makes the overseers annoyed, and a slave of a proper year can only be used as half an adult. How is it possible that so many immigrants are left vacant in vain?

Some people don't know about exploitation, and it's a great crime.

Even with the onset of the rainy season, part of the work had to be stopped. Work such as water conservancy facilities and road construction have stopped, but no one dares to stop building such major events as the wharf and the city walls, including the mining of stone and the preparation of wooden houses for new immigrants.

In addition, the craftsmen of the shipyard are constantly building small fishing boats for offshore fishing.

You must know that the fishery resources in this place are extremely rich, because there are many islands here, coral reefs and reefs abound, providing an excellent shelter for fish to reproduce. In later generations, Luzon was also one of the top 10 fishing countries in the world. In particular, small pelagic fish such as sardines, featherfish, shrimp, mackerel, snakehead, plum bream, and round-bellied herring, as well as large pelagic fish such as milkfish, marlin, swordfish, and sailfish, are abundant.

The task of the shipyard is to build more fishing boats and catch more fish and shrimp for the local area, which can not only increase the protein supplement for the whole population, but also greatly reduce the rate of food consumption.

You can't blame all this on the sailor, can you?

What's more, the towering tree also grows from a small sapling. The geographical advantage of Fuzhou Bay is better than that of Xinjin Bay, and it is an excellent sailor base + home port. The shipbuilding industry must be developed. Therefore, we should start by building simple fishing boats, so as to train some craftsmen and talents in shipbuilding as soon as possible, so as to accumulate experience and technology for the construction of larger tonnage merchant ships in the future.

If Fuzhou wants to develop, it naturally needs the strong support of the imperial court, but it also needs its own efforts!

The days passed like this, until the specific news came, and the new batch of immigrants that Fuzhou had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.

Escorted by the same number of large fortune ships (war ships), a full five thousand ships sailed into Fuzhou Bay, anchored at the mouth of the Bashi River, and asked to enter the port. After knowing that there was no large-scale outbreak of the thousands of migrants on the transport ship, the Fuzhou side allowed them to enter the port and send the new migrants to the shore as soon as possible.

Almost all of the city's inhabitants were mobilized, and many of the natives were organized to help settle the new arrivals on the docks. The garrison imposed strict martial law on the docks to maintain order.

Because along with the arrival of 3,000 immigrants, there were also a large number of materials, from inconspicuous hardware to cloth, tea, medicine, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and so on.

The natives looked at the newcomers with complicated expressions, and silently prepared hot water and meals for the newcomers.

The new immigrants are all poor among the Song people, they have not contributed to the construction of Fuzhou, but because of their Song identity, they are a head higher than themselves as soon as they come. As soon as they came, they had large tracts of fertile land and solid houses to live in, and they ......

All the new arrivals were already in place before they boarded the ship, and the armor protection system was very applicable to Luzon today. It is also for this reason that a large number of immigrants went ashore one by one, but they came in a very orderly order, even if it was still raining lightly in the sky today.

Accompanied by the umbrellas of his entourage, Zhang Zhongxiong slowly walked along the dockside, carefully watching the new immigrants.

One by one, they are really thin and thin. I don't know where the immigration authorities have collected these individuals, and the sources seem to be very mixed, which can be seen from their looks, figures, and accents. Some people are afraid that they are not Han Chinese, but the mountain people of Lingnan, or more precisely, they are familiar.

Not to mention thin and low, he really got the word 'poor'.

Some children are even completely bare-bottomed, and many adults are barefoot, and the immigration department obviously doesn't have the heart to dress them up, so it costs money.

These people didn't care, and the children stayed honestly beside the adults, while looking at the soldiers and civilians on the dock with curious and fearful eyes. Their eyes were full of curiosity, but they didn't dare to look more, and the fear of the unknown also affected them, causing them to turn their gaze only occasionally for a moment, but quickly retracted.

Zhang Zhongxiong is Zhang Shuye's second son, so he sat in the position of Fuzhou Assassin at a young age.

The official position of the assassin was the official position of the Tang Dynasty, and only Zhizhou did not have the history of assassination in the Song Dynasty, but there was an official of "assassin history" in the false title.

However, the state capitals of Nanyang are all very empty, and their population size is placed in the Central Plains, and it may not even be as good as a lower county, so the title of "Thorn History" has reappeared in the rivers and lakes.

Zhang Zhongxiong's identity, as well as his qualifications, is not a real state official in the Central Plains. This person can manage the army, has good martial arts, can govern the people, and reads poetry and books. can be said to be an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, although civil and military affairs are not the most outstanding.

But he came to Nanyang, which is naturally not to carry forward the style and give the benefits to others.

Zhang Zhongxiong, what he wants is bigger!
