Now that Great Qin has ruled the world for nearly ten years, although this island is lonely and calm overseas, and the war has not affected here, it is very close to the mainland after all, and as long as there is any news on the mainland, it can reach the island within a few days.

And the island also gathered a large number of literate Fang family warlocks and even a hundred disciples who came to hide from disasters and came to live in seclusion, of course, there are many fugitives, but these people are generally safe and sound with each other, and they get along with each other harmoniously, many of the residents on the island also know that these sea ships are not enemies, the biggest possibility is from Langya County, the legend is that the new sea boat invented by the Marquis of Qinghe, because the southeast counties have also begun to build this kind of sea boat river boat with sails, there are now on the island, but there are very few, Most of them were brought by the explorers.

After a while, several boatmen brought more than a dozen black and thin fishermen, each with short hair like a messy chicken nest, and some strange patterns such as flowers, birds, insects and fish tattooed on their faces, which were the descendants of the ancient Yue tribe at a glance, and there were also a few islanders with firewood knives pinned to their waists, one of whom also dragged a big snake in his hand.

"Master Hou, these are the residents of the island, what do you command?" A responsible steward asked.

"Is this snake for sale?" Chen Xu's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the snake and asked loudly.

When the black and thin young man was stunned, he was kicked by an old man next to him, and the young man still didn't react, so he accompanied the smiling face back for the young man and said, "Sell it, how much do you want to give?" ”

"A long worm still dares to ask for Hou Ye's money?" A few seafarers watching the excitement next to them suddenly began to roll up their sleeves unhappily.

The people of the archipelago immediately nervous and stepped back, some clenching their harpoons and others touching their knives at their waists.

"A group of barbarians, they are all blind!"

The reaction of the people of the archipelago made the surrounding shipwrights, seamen and guards all look at each other and muttered in their hearts, ten large ships, more than 1,000 people went to the island, in the face of such a big battle, these guys even thought of resisting.

"Boom~Click~Click~"

A group of musketeers pulled the bolt of their guns, and the guards also drew their swords, and even Yu Wuya, who was standing on the beach chatting with Han Xin and the others, rushed over nervously, and before he squeezed into the circle, he had already drawn his sword and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, wait until I cut a few first, I haven't fought for a long time!" ”

Chen Xu: ......

"All stand down, put away your weapons and blades!" Chen Xu couldn't wave his hand when he cried and laughed, and a group of musketeers and guards all put away their weapons and retreated, and the nervous emotions of more than a dozen islanders slowly relaxed.

"How about selling me this snake?" Chen Xu took out a ten-dollar gossip treasure from his body.

"Huh~~" Seeing the coin, the man who was carrying the snake instantly woke up, and let out a strange cry in surprise and threw the snake in front of Chen Xu.

"Here you go!" Chen Xu flicked his finger and the coin fell into the man's hand.

"Thank you Lang Jun, thank you Lang Jun, wahaha...... Hahahaha, get rich today! The black and thin young man was a little incoherent with excitement, and he spoke with an obvious Wu Yue ancient tone.

"Hey, it's such a big snake, it's enough to eat!" Yu Wuya, who squeezed in, saw a big snake on the ground, and instantly smiled from ear to ear, choked the sword back into the scabbard, and walked away happily with the big snake.

"You...... Do you still want worms? The remaining archipelagons instantly became excited, scrambling to show smiling faces.

"Yes, but I'm not here to eat snakes today, I see that you have just caught fish in the sea, but you have a catch? Can I sell it to us? ”

"Okay, wait a minute, we'll ......go and fetch the sea fish we caught," the old man nodded, and then took a few black and thin fishermen to their respective fishing boats to get fish.

"You can get anything delicious from the nearby mountains, and we'll buy it with money!" Chen Xu said to a few islanders with firewood knives.

"There's nothing good to eat on the island, it's windy, and there are stones except for insects, snakes, birds, and turtles, and everything delicious is over there!" A ragged teenager pointed to the opposite continent.

"Oh, then why don't you go to live on the other side?" Chen Xu asked with a smile.

"Over there...... There are officials and gentry over there, there are many bad people, and they have to pay taxes and serve, although the island is more bitter, but no one cares, you can do whatever you want? The boy replied a little nervously.

"Well, what you said makes sense, but in the future, there will be fewer and fewer conscriptions, and the retrenchment will be canceled, have you been to the harbor under construction over there......" Chen Xuyao asked, pointing to the harbor wharf being built on the opposite coast.

"I've been there, it's big, and there are a lot of people......"

"I heard that they are all used to dock big ships like you!"

"I heard that the Marquis of Qinghe spent money to repair it, and it was called ...... It's called Tan...... Frank ......"

The boy and a few islanders were much bolder at this time, and they all replied with nonsense.

"Isn't it a smooth plan?" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it's called the Smooth Road Project, I heard that many seaports and docks will be repaired along the sea from north to south......

Obviously, the people of the first archipelago live on an island close to Wuzhong, and they are not isolated from the rest of the world, on the contrary, they are relatively well informed about the news of Wuzhong and the Central Plains.

"In the future, life on the opposite mainland will get better and better, working on the opposite wharf not only can you eat every day, but also have five or six yuan of wages to get, this project will last at least ten years or so, you will definitely be popular if you are strong, and the salary alone can be more than 2,000 yuan a year, the whole family can be fed and clothed, and even can buy land and land on the opposite side to repair the house......"

"You...... You didn't lie to us, did you? The young man who sold snakes just now stammered and looked at Chen Xu.

"Hmph, in front of the Marquis of Qinghe, he even dares to question it, do you really want to die?" A seagoing steward next to him snorted coldly.

Several islanders were shaken as if they had been struck by lightning, and they all looked at Chen Xu with their faces glazed and their mouths wide open, and only after a long time did someone come back to their senses and ask, "...... Are you really the Marquis of Qinghe? ”

"Yes, a certain is Qinghe Marquis Chen Xu, this time by the emperor's order to inspect the world, today just arrived in Juzhang County to check the construction of the harbor wharf, because of the beautiful scenery on this island, so specially bring the family to come over to relax, by the way to get some seafood to make a few delicious things to solve the cravings, you come here to avoid the war is understandable, but now Daqin has unified China, the world is one, although this archipelago is large, but it is close to Wuzhong, now there is this kind of big ship through the sea frontier, as long as Wuzhong officials want to manage you, You can't escape either conscription or taxes, and Your Majesty can't always let it go, this island will soon be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and you must be under the same management of the imperial court as the commoners on the other side, but you can rest assured that there will be no heavy conscription and taxation, and I will guarantee that your life will only get better and better......"

Listening to Chen Xu's words, several islanders had different expressions, both scared and entangled, and at the same time had some expectations, one of the older ones hesitated for a long time and then whispered uneasily: "But...... We don't have a ...... of domicile."

"Hehe, if you don't have a household registration, Benhou naturally knows, but as long as you are willing to ask for it, Benhou will let the officials of Wuzhong apply for a household registration for you, and the identity is the same as that of the people of Wuzhong, so you don't have to hide on the island in the future and dare not go out, and even your descendants can have a normal identity, work for the peasants or study or even join the army to make meritorious contributions, live in a big house as a big official, go in and out of the slaves, carriages and horses, and show off your power just like me, do you think it's good?" Chen Xu began to carry out pyramid schemes again, and he was serious and bewitched this group of bitter haha islanders who couldn't read a single big word.

"Puff ......" The oldest one in the group knelt directly in front of Chen Xu and kowtowed, "If Hou Ye can really give us civilian household registration, it is our reborn parents, the reason why we dare not go ashore is because our ancestors are fugitives, if they are caught by the Wuzhong government, they will be regarded as fugitives and beaten as slaves, so they can only hide on the island and dare not go ashore, even if they go ashore, they can only sneak to change some food and clothing, and finally dare not be recognized, the islanders who have been arrested over the years are not few, Especially in the past few years, when the Xiang rebellion was the most violent, the Marquis of Tongwu personally brought soldiers and hundreds of fishing boats to the island to search for the remnants of the Xiang family, and we were also affected and arrested hundreds of people, and it took two years to slowly quiet down......"

"Master Hou, if you can give us a household registration, we will listen to you in everything!" Another old-looking islander also choked up with red eyes.

"Okay, as long as you are willing to end this nameless and stateless life, Ben Hou will naturally let the officials of the Hui Inspector come to handle the household registration for you, you can go to the coastal counties to settle down and live, and those who are willing to stay on the island can also be recognized by the imperial court, but you must remember clearly, once you have a household registration, you are the people of Daqin, and you will be treated equally, and you will do anything to commit adultery and violate the law and discipline, and Ben Hou will not be able to help you, have you ever remembered?"

"I know, I know, with a household registration, I will definitely live in peace, and I will never break the law!" A group of people were all reddened with excitement and nodded their heads.

"That's fine, you go, tell the people on the island what Ben Hou just said, and officials will come in a while, you cooperate, and if there are really bandits on the island who kill people and steal goods, you must also report it in time, and if you can catch it, there will be another reward!"

"Okay, let's go back and tell the good news to the villagers!" The islanders who were kneeling on the ground got up with a grunt, and the crowd dispersed after a chaotic salute.

"Master Hou really plans to register these barbarian guys?" Cao Shen stood next to him and asked puzzled.

"Naturally, at present, Daqin is peaceful and tranquil, it is the time to cultivate and raise the people, most of these islanders are descendants of the Central Plains, naturally they should be settled as soon as possible, at present, the harbor wharf of Wuzhong and Juzhang are under construction, at most a year or two, there will be a large number of boats and ships going north and south through the Huiji coast, this Zhoushan Islands is the only way, if it is not incorporated and arranged for the court officials to govern, I am afraid that these people will not be able to help robbing passing ships on the sea and become sea bandits, and this large island, I am afraid that it will also become a den of bandits, It will be much more troublesome to deal with it at that time! Chen Xu explained.

"It's still the Hou Ye's thoughtfulness, and his subordinates admire him to the core!" Cao Shen patted his ass respectfully.

"You also have to keep this matter in mind, Ben Hou has already played the emperor to surrender the Korean Sanhan tribe when he left the Jingshi, His Majesty will arrange for the envoys to send envoys first, but I think the harvest will not be too big, so after I arrive in Langya, you will lead the cadets and fleet of the Maritime Academy to send troops to Korea, and you must completely conquer the Sanhan tribe before the cold winter comes, and completely eradicate the secession of Korea......"

"Master Hou, you didn't lie to me?" Not only was Cao Shen pleasantly surprised, but a group of captains and crew stewards around were also blushing with excitement.

"When has Ben Hou deceived people, but let me remind you in advance that the terrain of the Korean Peninsula is complicated, and although there are muskets and artillery, you must remember not to be careless...... Well, I'll talk about that in a few days......"

Chen Xu waved his hand to stop this topic, because several fishermen went and returned, each carrying a fish basket and a few fish, and it seemed that they had a harvest.
