Xu Zixian only stayed in Shangzhai for a few hours, and before dark, regardless of Chen Duzhong's dissuasion, he resolutely left Shangzhai with his subordinates and went to Nan'anxi Port, more than 20 miles away.

There were still many people watching along the way, but everyone's expressions gradually turned solemn.

When Xu Zixian passed by, many men waved and women half-squatted to salute, Xu Zixian's attitude was still quite kind, and he waved frequently to the islanders.

This made many people who were uneasy gradually feel at ease, although Nan Anhou had hundreds of wolf-like soldiers around him, and would become the lord of everyone, and it was rumored that he was also a resolute and upright, iron-blooded prince who had repeatedly made military exploits, but at least from the current attitude, Nan Anhou is still more kind and gentle to people, not like the kind of indifferent and cruel lord.

Whether it is a new immigrant or the original islander, they are full of hope for the arrival of Nan'an Hou Mansion and Xu Zixian himself.

"I heard that a large number of new houses are being built over there in Nan'anxi."

A man surnamed Wang in his forties looked at Xu Zixian and his party who were gradually moving away, and then looked at his half-gray-haired wife beside him, as well as his half-grown son and daughter, looking at their ragged clothes, even without covering their bodies, and their bodies were also thin and weak, and then looked at their own low mud house, the house was dim, there was not even an oil lamp, and at night it was boiled cabbage with sorghum, and it was difficult to swallow until it was difficult to swallow until it was eaten until it was difficult to swallow.

"The people have a lot to think about." The man's wife whispered: "However, the clan elders disagree, saying that they will wait for the Nan'an Hou Mansion to demarcate the plot and relocate our clan before they can go over." ”

"The clan elders are too careful......" The man wanted to complain, but he was afraid of being heard, reporting to the clan, he was the unappreciated periphery of the clan, each clan has a core, generally it is those who have some family wealth to have a status in the clan, and then it is passed down from generation to generation, and the limited wealth is gathered in the hands of a few people, they are the core of the clan.

Now these clan elders just want to negotiate with the Nan'an Hou Mansion, to demarcate the lots, acres, a large number of farm tools, ploughing cattle, and pulling horses, and then sign the deed to become an official household.

No one disagrees with becoming the official household of Nan'anhou's mansion, but the clan elders of the major clans are all hesitant to act without exception, just waiting for Nan'anhou to come over to negotiate and act after they have enough benefits.

There are many people dissatisfied with this clan, but for a long time, the clan power is in the hands of the patriarch and the clan elders, once the ancestral hall is opened, even if the official government is beaten alive, many people are dissatisfied, eager to change the status quo, but they are afraid of the authority of the clan.

In the midst of many eyes, Xu Zixian and his party gradually moved away, and the man surnamed Wang looked at the dozens of soldiers accompanying him and Xu Zixian who was riding a horse, but his heart was full of expectation, and his eyes gradually became eager.

Nan'anhou, although the Eastern Domain is an overseas island, but the legend of Nan'an Hou has also been heard a lot, can this prince also create a miracle and change the situation of the residents of the Eastern Domain as he did in Nan'an and Qizhou before?

……

Xu Zi first walked along a simple path to the periphery of the port and settlement of Huaxi, which was probably built by the soldiers and residents of the military village, the road was very narrow, only allowed two horses to ride together, and it was obviously in disrepair, and the road was overgrown with wild grass.

There are only a few villages around, and a few oil lamps show weak light.

It is in the core of the village on the border, there are a lot of lights, faintly there is also the sound of opera, Chen Duzhong's defense envoy is from a big family, there is no shortage of assets, and he also knows how to enjoy, and when he eats at night, he also uses music to help the fun.

Xu Zixian's eyes showed coldness, the appearance of the Eastern Domain, he only saw a small number of shops and trading houses, most of the residents lived in mud and straw houses, low and only allowed middle-aged men to lean in.

Due to the warm weather and poverty, many teenage children are still bare-chested.

Some of the little girls had no clothes to wear, only a burlap robe, and even hid in the house and did not dare to go out.

Such poverty, not to mention that it is unimaginable in later generations, is rare even in the Fujian Road of the Great Wei, after all, Fujian is a prosperous area for foreign trade, industry and commerce are also developed, and there are only a few people who are so poor after all.

Jinghu, northern Shaanxi and northern Jin, as well as the mountainous areas of western Zhejiang, the mountainous areas of Liangguang, Yungui, I believe that there are still not a few such poor people, but there are such poor people on a treasure island like the Eastern Domain, which can only be said to be the reason for the government.

The water flow here is abundant, the climate is warm, if you open up water conservancy, grow rice, there is definitely no problem with food and clothing, only grow sorghum, hemp, beans, low yield, and there is no way to form a preliminary large-scale handicraft industry, poverty is inevitable.

The official road is very short, out of the farmland area, through a small military village on the periphery, even out of the Huaxi range.

The land here is very small, it is not surprising to think about it, more than 10,000 immigrants, there are quite a lot of people engaged in handicrafts and fishing, the family of farming is about 1,200 households at most, and a household to open 50 acres is almost the limit of physical strength, because of the lack of high-quality farm tools and cattle, pure human labor, to keep hoeing, ploughing, harvesting, 50 acres is almost the limit of a family.

It is necessary to open up a hundred acres of land, and take good care of it, pull horses, plough cattle, and farm tools, all of which are indispensable.

Xu Zixian's goal is to have 100 acres per household, but he also wants to give immigrants enough livestock and tools.

The place is big enough, and this is the largest plain area in the Eastern Domain!

The Tainan Plain, also known as the Jianan Plain, starts from Changhua in Taiwan Province in the north, reaches Kaohsiung in the south, is in the shape of jujube kernels, is 180 kilometers long from north to south, the widest from east to west is 43 kilometers, with an area of 4,550 square kilometers and an altitude of less than 100 meters.

The interior of the plain is open, densely populated, crisscrossed by streams and canals, densely packed with rice fields, and has developed transportation, making it an agricultural area rich in products, with 40 percent of the cultivated land area on the island. Such a large plain is truly a treasure among treasures for an island that hangs lonely in the sea and is surrounded by mountains.

Xu Zi's confidence in developing the Eastern Domain first also lies in the fact that he can take the first step and use the treasure land with the richest resources, the largest area, the largest plain area, the most cultivated land, and the most water flow on this island!

The Jianan Plain is composed of river deltas such as Datui Creek, Zhuoshui Creek and Zengwen Creek, and is a coastal plain that includes Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung and other counties and cities. The Tainan Plain is flat, with a vast territory, a developed water system, crisscrossed by rivers and ditches, and many salt pans and fish ponds in the coastal areas, the salt pans are generally 30 to 60 meters wide, the water depth is one to two feet, and the bottom is hard; Yanchi is also an area that Xu Zixian is eager to develop.

The salt and iron of the Great Wei Dynasty was a monopoly system, and private salt was strictly prohibited.

But just as the clan can set up a factory in the Eastern Domain, the legacy of Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty also allows the Eastern Domain to open a salt pond here, of course, it must have a certain identity and official license, and Xu Zixian has this qualification.

Of course, boiling salt by the sea, now the level is backward, or use the cauldron boiling method, Xu Zi first plans to use the salt field method of later generations, using this method, to make a large amount of sea salt, but the market seized is not generally large, can form a great impact on the southern part of Fujian and Zhejiang!

A large number of fish ponds can also be built by the seaside, and in the inland due to the vertical and horizontal water network, rice can be planted on a large scale and an ecological breeding area can be formed.

This Great Plains region was one of the most economically prosperous areas in Taiwan in later generations.

Now, it's a big deal.

During the rainy season, the rivers that originate in the mountains swell upstream, carrying a large amount of sediment and rolling out of the mountain passes and flowing into the plains, causing flooding. If there is another strong typhoon and heavy rain, the damage will be even more serious. In the dry season, the stream will stop flowing, and in the flood and drought periods, how to maintain a strong water flow so that the hydraulic loom can keep turning is a troublesome and difficult problem that Xu Zixian and Fu Qian urgently need to solve.

As early as the early stage of the development of the Tainan Plain, the ancestors used the short streams on the plain to build dams to intercept water, build ponds, and irrigate farmland, which was the earliest water conservancy project in Taiwan.

And now, only less than 10,000 acres of land have been reclaimed here, which makes the core area of Huaxi quite small, after going out of the periphery, there is simply no road, a wasteland near the sea is formed from the wild grass and shrubs, after dark, there is a ghost fire faintly emerging, there seems to be a wild man roaring in the deep mountains in the distance, and the scene is really infiltrating.

Xu Zixian was surrounded by the guards of a capital led by Gao Shilai, there were Fang Shaoqun and Chen Zuocai, Chen Daojian and other scribes, the soldiers were brave, and the literati did not believe in ghosts and gods, not only was no one afraid in such an environment, on the contrary, talking about it, walking through the bushes was quite a novel experience for the group of people in front of them.

Everyone grew up in a prosperous place, the situation in front of them, the starry sky overhead, the boundless sea on the left, the moonlight illuminates the sea, the sea water keeps surging forward, rushing to the coast, the wild land formed by wild grass and shrubs on the shore, and the deep mountains where wild people live in the distance, the group of people in front of them are not afraid, on the contrary, there is a unique sense of excitement.

For Xu Zixian, everything at the moment is like a blank piece of paper, waiting for him to paint the color, and it is fake to say that he is not excited...... Whether it is Nan'an or Qizhou, Xu Zixian has a mother-in-law on his head, and he has to consider all aspects of his reaction, but here in the Eastern Domain, no matter what he does, it is the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion of Nan'an, as long as he does not rebel, the Son of Heaven and the two governments are not qualified to restrain and intervene......

"There are still traces of people walking by...... Chen Daojian has become more and more careful, jumped off the horse, took advantage of the light of the torch, looked at the passing place, and then said to Xu Zixian: "It seems that the migration of displaced people earlier also passed through here." ”
