Two days later, Sun Xiangfu finally saw the sail of the Happiness at the Guangzhou Bay Wharf, and Xuanzang and Li Chunfeng, who rushed to hear the news, were also relieved.

After the Happiness docked and stopped, Xi Junmai jumped off the ship first.

"Jun bought it late, a few people are looking forward to it!"

"Hmph, you kid still knows it's too late to come back." Sun Xiangfu punched Xi Junmai's chest, and after seeing that the guards who came ashore from the ship one after another were in good spirits, Sun Xiangfu's heart relaxed.

"Hehe, I brought you a gift." Xi Junmai smiled and said.

"Gifts? In there? Sun Xiangfu stretched out his hand and said.

"In the back, it may take half a day to see it, but I can show you their leader first." Xi Junmai said that, and Shen Tuyong, who was wrapped in a lot of gauze, limped off the boat and was escorted down.

Sun Xiangfu was naturally inexplicable.

At this time, Xi Junmai told Sun Xiangfu about his experience in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

It turned out that as soon as Xi Junmai arrived in Hangzhou Bay, he was detected by Wang Hao's subordinates, and first sent Shen Tuyong, the remnant of Kan Ling, to ambush him, but he didn't expect to be killed by Xi Junmai, and he was captured alive.

When he took the fleet to Hangzhou City to buy medicine, the news was detected by Wang Hao's people again, the seven sects and five surnames in this period were so good, in a word, the pharmacy in Hangzhou did not sell medicine to the people sent by Xi Junmai.

Not only Hangzhou City, Xi Junmai learned after interrogating the shopkeeper of a pharmacy that no one in the entire Jiangnan would sell medicine to him, so Xi Junmai was annoyed, and simply used the robbery to drive more than 1,000 water bandits, within five days, he walked more than a dozen cities, robbed hundreds of pharmacy shops, and whether it was useful or useless, first filled the Happiness, and then loaded several big ships of Shen Tuyong, and finally, picked up Shen Tuyong's family, and then returned to Lingnan, several days later than the expected time.

"Uh, you're talking about more than a thousand bandits?" Sun Xiangfu was stunned.

"How? Surprised? Xi Junmai said very proudly.

"I'm surprised at your size, it's a nuisance." Sun Xiangfu almost sprayed, he is not a courtier, but he does not have the power to recruit bandits, and ransacked the pharmacy in more than a dozen cities in the south of the Yangtze River, this is definitely a big crime, and the court doesn't know how to deal with them! What if you take them over and kill them in the end?

"Well, it's not a big deal!" Xi Junmai scratched his scalp and said. In fact, he hadn't made it clear just now, but the families of these more than 1,000 bandits added up to four or five thousand people!

All right! Now Sun Xiangfu's concern is not at this point, seeing Li Chunfeng and Xuanzang running down from the boat in surprise, his heart finally relaxed.

"Beckoning people to unload the ship! There are many other diseases in the sick camp, and the poor road can be cured. Li Chunfeng flicked his sleeves and ran to the side of the sick camp, and now, where people urgently need him as the attending doctor.

Xuanzang also followed quickly, but he was holding a big medicine box in his hand, which should have been selected from the boat just now, thinking that he was going to decoct the medicine to the patients who had already stopped taking the medicine.

In fact, there is no need for Sun Xiangfu to call any manpower, after learning that the Happiness is loaded with medicinal materials for treating patients, the people of Lingnan who saw the excitement on the dock spontaneously came over to help unload the ship, the carrying capacity of the Happiness is more than 10,000 stones, although it may not really be loaded so much, but after the medicinal materials are unloaded, it is still piled up on the dock into a hill, seeing these medicinal materials, the Lingnan people will be stable.

Feng Ang dispatched more than a dozen carriages, and walked three or four times before gradually pulling them out, until it was almost dark, six large ships and more than a dozen small and medium-sized boats drove into the Guangzhou Bay wharf, looking at a large number of women and children, Sun Xiangfu also had a headache, these are rebels who do not have a Tang household registration, how to resettle, and the court has the final say, fortunately, the weather in Lingnan is hot, it is not necessary to live in a house, Feng Ang divided a flat land for them in the city, gave them some straw mats and other materials, and dealt with it tonight.

"Yue Gong, otherwise, it's convenient to do it, and let's give them a piece of land!" Sun Xiangfu waited for the families of these water bandits to settle down before he said to Feng An.

"Are they willing to settle in Lingnan?" Feng Ang asked with some surprise.

"Of course, do they have a choice?"

"Then the old man can't ask for it! However, the initial conditions may be very difficult, not even as good as your Baiyun Lake, they have to bear it. Feng Ang said happily when he heard this.

Lingnan, but has not encountered such a large-scale Han migration situation, there are more Han people, will drive the local agriculture and all aspects of the development of the level, Feng Ang of course can't ask for it.

"Then it's a foregone conclusion, but the fields of Baiyun Lake are about to be prepared, and it is imminent to go down to Jiaozhi."

"Go, go! Just leave Daochang Li and Master Xuanzang here, the old man has been there, and he will send you someone who is familiar with the sea route, and with your fast boat, you will be able to go back and forth in a few days. Feng Ang said very easily.

The Indochinese Peninsula where Champa Rice is located is now Vietnam, and the southernmost part of Lingnan Road has actually bordered it, even if it is driven by land in later generations, it is only more than 1,000 kilometers, and by sea, it is only a few hundred kilometers away.

The sea of happiness is a five-pole sailboat, the later generations have a more scientific speed, the average speed per hour is about 9 knots, an hour on 18 knots, more than 30 kilometers, downwind, two days do not need to be able to get to Cochin, even if the return headwind, you need to take a zigzag detour road, five or six days can also do a round trip.

"In this way, thank you Yue Gong."

Sun Xiangfu sent people who were familiar with the sea route, and after hearing the words and thanked Feng Ang, he went to Xi Junmai and told him about the placement of Shen Tuyong and others.

"This is the Lord Sun I told you."

In the temporary camp, Xi Junmai pointed to Sun Xiangfudao, who was slowly looking for him. Depending on the situation, they are doing well these days.

"In Xia Shen Tuyong, I've seen adults." Shen Tuyong, who had a worried look on his face, hugged Sun Xiangfu with a fist.

"No need to be polite, I heard Jun Mai say, you are the old department of General Kan Ling, and later fell into the grass and became a water bandit, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he has issued an order to rehabilitate Du Fuwei and General Kan Ling, do you know?"

"Is this, is this true? I don't know! Shen Tuyong was stunned when he heard this.

"Of course you don't know, that's because your master doesn't want you to know, and he wants you to die for him."

Shen Tuyong's gang of water bandits Xi Junmai had already told him just now, Sun Xiangfu, who had lived in Chang'an for so long, naturally knew about many major events that had happened in the past year, including the emperor's rehabilitation of Du Fuwei and the funeral of the Duke of Guogong, but this matter obviously did not spread to the water bandit cottage in Hangzhou Bay.

"These scum."

Although Shen Tuyong has average talent, he can be regarded as a loyal and brave person, otherwise he would not have fled from Huainan to overseas to become a bandit for the sake of Kan Leng's old family, but he didn't expect that these family members actually deceived him in order to control him, how could he not hate.

"These things are in the past, but now is your chance to choose to find a place for your brothers to live. I told Yue Gong that he would let you live in Lingnan and allocate land for you to cultivate, I don't know if you are willing? ”

"Yes, of course I am willing, I have no choice but to take refuge under the door of those families and exchange my life for life." Shen Tuyong looked at Sun Xiangfu with some expectation.

"That's very good, these days you can appease your manpower, is to plough the fields, is fishing for a living, when I come back from Jiaozhi, I will give you a plan, anyway, you will settle in Lingnan from now on."

After saying this, Sun Xiangfu walked away, for now, Shen Tuyong's trust value in his heart is not high, because he has not brought any benefits to Shen Tuyong and them.

Early the next morning, Sun Xiangfu carried his luggage to the dock, and Ah Yue, who was carrying lychees, saw that he was going to get on the boat and leave, so he kept holding his thighs and crying his nose, no matter how Sun Xiangfu explained, she was afraid that Sun Xiangfu would not come back after leaving, until Shen Tuyong, who was limping, came to the dock with a large number of people, and Ah Yue held back her tears.

"My lord, these more than 300 brothers have no home and no mouth, and they want to follow you on the boat and get rich, I don't know if your adult will agree."

"Good! I'm just about to recruit a group of people who are used to walking on water! Let them go to the construction site of Baiyun Lake to build a house first, and then make specific arrangements for them when I come back. ”

Happiness such a sailboat this year Yang Shunshui's workshop can build at least two or three ships, want to quickly communicate with Lingnan, these boatmen and sailors are indispensable, not only these three hundred people, after that, Sun Xiangfu will also recruit more people, after all, after the Zhancheng rice planting base is placed in Lingnan, Sun Xiangfu may go to Lingnan once a year, and he will also train talents for future voyages.

With Sun Xiangfu's consent, the hearts of many young sailors were finally put down, and as for Baiyun Lake, they only needed to ask someone, and they would definitely find it.

The Happiness went out of the port, cleaving the waves all the way to Jiaozhi, there were sailors arranged by Feng An, Sun Xiangfu could not use a self-made compass, after all, the land of Lingnan and the Nanyang countries often have some small trade contacts.

"It's finally time to get down to business."

"Are you talking about the kind of grain that yields several stones per mu?"

Zhao Long followed Sun Xiangfu to the fields in Baiyun Lake for a few days, and naturally knew that the ultimate goal of his southward trip this time was to take the Zhancheng rice, and he was also extremely looking forward to it, after all, he had never seen crops that could produce several stones of crops in one acre of land.

"Actually, compared to that kind of rice, I want to see the kind of giant beast called elephant you said, I asked Feng Gong, he said that the tribes in the south of Lingnan also have that thing, but wild manpower is difficult to tame, unless it is raised from childhood to adulthood." Xi Junmai was looking forward to it.

The history of the Nanban elephant taming can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in the Three Kingdoms period, there are records of elephant soldiers fighting, and later generations Sun Xiangfu has seen a movie about elephants, which seems to be saying that the tribal wars on the Thai side in the fourth or fifth centuries have already had a large number of elephant soldiers at that time, and even armor specially made for war elephants appeared on the battlefield.

Of course, even in the later generations of scientifically developed life, wild elephants are not easy to tame, but elephants are in the mountains and forests, more efficient animals than cattle, at least they can quickly step on the barren mountains and mountains for people to pass, but unfortunately the hull of the Happiness is still not large enough to directly transport adult elephants, if there are baby elephants, he doesn't mind getting a few back to slowly domesticate.
