Fang Shaoqun breathed a sigh of relief, and began to talk about some of the analyses made by the Military Strategy Department based on the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Division, including the situation of the Fujian garrison, the situation of the Sailor Division, and the situation of the alpine natives to make analysis and judgment.

Fang Shaoqun's judgment was very accurate, Xu Zixian had already decided to completely hand over the military strategy to him, and the previous division was disbanded, and the military intelligence, military strategy, and Jing'an divisions did their own thing, and they were responsible for Xu Zixian alone.

The staff in front of him is reluctant to get involved in idle and trivial matters, he is quite arrogant, and he is unwilling to compete with his colleagues, making his face ugly. His position is also below Li Yi and Kong He, comparable to Fu Qian, and above Chen Zuocai and others.

This positioning still captures everyone's psychology, Chen Zuocai and others have seen Fang Shaoqun's status and wisdom in Jingshi, and they are convinced, Fu Qian is a little sleek, Fang Shaoqun is comparable to him, Fu Qian takes into account Xu Zixian's feelings, and will not make a fuss about it. As for Li Yi's qualifications, no one can shake them, Kong He is a square person, and his personality is a little impatient and extreme, Fang Shaoqun takes into account the overall situation, and will not have a dispute with Kong He until he makes real contributions under the Nan'an Hou Mansion system.

"Alpine natives can't be taken lightly......," Fang Shaoqun finally said: "Their generation lives in the mountains all the year round, and their lives are difficult, so that their personalities are narrow-minded, vicious and cruel, and they cannot be regarded by ordinary people. Since Chengzong, there are few conflicts between the two sides, one is the Xiang army guarding the border, although the Xiang army is weak, after all, the armor guards are still much stronger than those natives with broken hair and tattoos. The second is that the Great Wei has given up the operation of the Eastern Domain, and only guards the 100,000 acres of land in the lower reaches of Huaxi, and the military village and the land no longer extend inward, so there has been almost no conflict in the past few decades. If we keep setting fire to the wasteland, it will definitely alarm the indigenous people, and it is very likely that large-scale conflicts and even wars will break out. ”

"Feng Qi has a point." Xu Zixian said: "It seems that the Ge family brothers and Zhong, the second battalion of Yi, need to be transferred to the Eastern Domain earlier." ”

"It's good that the prince understands." Fang Shaoqun said with a smile: "After the meeting, everything in the Eastern Domain should be accelerated, and there may be earth-shaking changes in a few months." ”

"I hope so."

"Prince, it must be so, and it must be so."

Under the candlelight, both of them smiled.

……

At dawn the next day, Xu Zixian got up in his clothes in the long sound of the military trumpet, the barracks area was not far from the Houfu Courtyard, and when he put on a short robe and hung up the barrier knife to arrive, more than 1,000 soldiers in the barracks were already dressed neatly, holding the knife and standing solemnly.

The security level here in the Eastern Domain is much higher than that in Nan'an, so even the soldiers are fully armed.

Xu Zixian didn't want to see the soldiers suddenly attacked when they were running, and they were chopped down and ran all over the ground with their bare hands.

He himself pressed the obstacle in his hand, walked to the front of the queue in front of everyone's attention, and stood still next to the flag-bearer.

All the warriors' faces were full of excitement, but they had to obey the military order and not speak without authorization, so everyone could only pay attention to Xu Zixian, with the appearance of Xu Zixian, everyone's eyes were on this Nan'an Hou, with Xu Zixian's movements, everyone's necks turned with it, and their eyes were always staring at Xu Zixian.

Xu Zixian was already quite familiar with the eyes and movements of these people, but he was still moved by a feeling in his heart.

In fact, the income on the surface, the military guards under the Nan'an Hou Mansion also have two yuan per month, but they are only paid in full, unlike the Xiang Army, which is often deducted.

As for the rice, flour, grain, oil and meat, this is an invisible welfare, much stronger than the moldy brown rice that the Xiang army has been eating.

Together with the sanatorium, the Salesian Bureau, the pension for the dead in battle, the treatment of the wounded and the provision for the disabled soldiers, these complete sets of benefits add up to the reason why the soldiers really returned to their hearts, regarded Nan'anhou as the main thing, and regarded Nan'anhou Mansion as their home.

Whether it is in the past, present, or in the future, there is no loyalty without reason, and do not test the loyalty of subordinates without reason, always give the best to subordinates, even if it is to paint a pie, it must give people hope and expectations for the future, this is Xu Zixian's concept, and the current situation also proves that his theory is quite correct.

After waving his hand to the soldiers, Xu Zixian smiled, led the team with the flag bearer, and took the lead in running.

Qin Dongyang and other military attachés were in the queue, and they also acted together with the soldiers.

After the dawn of the day, the entire area where the Nan'an Hou Mansion was located appeared very vividly in front of Xu Zixian's eyes. Li Yi and Kong He, as well as Lin Jiusi and others, including Chen Duguang and others from the Changwen Marquis Mansion, opened up cotton fields, designed annexes, military camps, factory areas, living areas, ports, and shipyard areas earlier, according to Xu Zixian's plan, built ports and shipyards along the beach, and went deep into the inland Li Xu is the storage area, where large bricks and houses stand.

Further inside, there is a brickyard and a small blast furnace, where large blocks of raw bricks are pressed out with special tools and placed in the open space to dry. The raw brick clay embryo should be dried and then fired in the oven, the speed is very fast, a furnace can burn more than 100,000 bricks a month, as long as the brick embryo is enough, it can be fired continuously.

There are several blast furnaces, employing hundreds of people, hundreds of thousands or even millions of bricks are burned out a month, when Xu Zi first looked over, black smoke was drifting into the air, and the furnace mouth kept spewing sparks, these blast furnaces are the foundation of the building.

There are more than a dozen carts parked in the warehouse, and some people keep taking out hoes, shovels, forks, rakes and other tools from the warehouse.

Along the avenue, there is a large residential area, which is divided into areas from east to west, north and south, and each area has more than 100 houses.

In fact, farmland and pastoral areas will be very large in the future, and it is not too convenient for the people to work in this area in the future, but considering the future threats such as natives and pirates, Xu Zixian still feels that it is more appropriate to live in the settlement first.

Even if you want to live in a scattered area in the future, you should build as densely as possible, with defensive wooden fences or rammed walls on the perimeter, and sentry towers and arrow towers on the periphery, so that you can rest assured.

The threat of the alpine natives, many people think about solving the trouble once and for all, with Xu Zixian's memory of later generations, this is simply impossible.

The entire Eastern Domain, nearly 36,000 square kilometers of land, is 800 miles long from north to south, and nearly 300 miles from east to west. Most of the area is from low to high mountains, two-thirds of the plot is hilly to mountainous landforms, the main peak in the center is nearly 4,000 meters high, nearly 30,000 kilometers of land is hilly and mountainous areas, which now at least 10 to 200,000 mountain people live in, not to mention the current strength and equipment, even a few hundred years later, the modern army dominated by firearms, if you want to completely conquer this large area of mountains, you have to pay the price of tens of thousands of soldiers casualties to do it.

Xu Zi first has the experience of later generations, of course, he will not be stupid enough to try to exterminate the natives of the high mountains, force them to leave the plain completely, guard the periphery, fight those tribes who dare to attack, and give them a stern lesson.

Everything has to wait for the economy to develop to a certain point, attract the indigenous people to the plains to cultivate or work as workers, and slowly influence and infiltrate, which is the long-term policy of peace and stability.

Any attempt to conquer by force, or simply to redeem by economy, is extremely stupid and self-defeating.

The dwellings are arranged quite neatly, each household is three rooms with two matching buildings, three main houses, two wing rooms, each household uses the courtyard wall to pull up a small courtyard, and there is a north-south passage in the middle of every five households, and there is an east-west passage.

In front of the passage opposite the courtyard gate is a pigsty and a thatched house, and the same pattern is in front of the small courtyard opposite.

Compared with the farmhouse courtyard on Fujian Road, the buildings here are denser and much closer to each other.

This is easier to defend and easier to manage for law and order and health.

For ordinary homeless people, when they arrived in the Eastern Domain, they not only had the allocated land, the status of an official household, but also this small courtyard with blue bricks and tiles to live in, and many people had an unbelievable feeling.

This is one of the dowries given by Changwen Marquis Chen Dujing to his daughter, quite rich, Xu Zixian sometimes has a feeling that marrying a wife is really a good deal, more than 1,000 households here need more than 1,000 such small courtyards, and the cost price of each building is nearly 30 yuan, and in the future, after the road is repaired, it will be extended to the boundary of Huaxi, and the original old earthen houses will be demolished, and this kind of dense settlement similar to the pattern of the community in later generations will be built.

The streets and alleys are unblocked, the voices of chickens and dogs are heard, and under strong suppression, there will be no thieves, kidnappers, liars, and villains who shoot flowers, and of course there will be no idlers, hooligans, ruffians and extortionists, for many homeless people, this is undoubtedly heaven on earth.

Xu Zixian was also quite satisfied with these houses, even if it was a settlement area for improving peasant housing in later generations, it was almost like converting bungalows into buildings, as well as electrical appliances and other things, aside from these, it may not be better than the settlement in front of him.

The courtyard walls of blue bricks, black tiles and white bricks, one after another, hundreds or thousands of buildings appear in front of you, giving people a very strong sense of visual impact.

Every large settlement was surrounded by isolated wooden fences, sharp antlers for outward defense, high arrow towers and watchtowers, and these defenses and the strong men who were organized and given weapons, even if tens of thousands of pirates came and faced with angry men who wanted to protect their families and property, even if there were no army, the pirates might not be able to please them.

On the periphery of the settlement, there are more than 1,000 acres of open space on both sides of the road, planting some vegetables and other crops, Nan'an Creek flows through on the north side of the vegetable field, some canals are opened up, the keel waterwheel will introduce the water into the main canal, and then divert into the branch canals, the clear water continues to pour into the fields, some Ding Zhuang is busy in the vegetable fields, dredging the channels with tools, and the water is constantly introduced and diverted to the various plots of the vegetable fields.

In the direction of the stream, the sound of a large flock of ducks was clearly heard.

Raising ducks is a fine tradition that has existed since the Nan'an period, and of course it is impossible to give up here in the Eastern Domain.

In addition to the ducks, there are large areas of turf and shrubs left a few miles to the east, where hundreds of goats are raised, and more will be transported from Penghu in the future after the pasture is determined.

The sheep flock will not be too big, just convenient for their own use, more mutton demand Penghu can meet, dozens of islands at least more than 100,000 sheep, this is simply quite a strange thing.

There are also pig pens and chicken coops in the residential area, everything is in good order, and after dawn in the morning there are already many women cutting baskets of pigweed, and are feeding the pigs with swill, and the shriveled cries and satisfied hums of the pigs can be clearly heard as the soldiers run by.

These pig pens and chicken coops are also official, just assign each household to raise, if the pig is dead or thin, the farmer has to compensate the pig seedling money, the usual feeding public does not care, and the final meat is returned to the pig seedling money.

Houses and supporting facilities are also distributed to each household, and in the future, they can be deducted from the cotton harvest.

Of course, there are also tools, which are also to be deducted from future earnings.

This is quite fair and reasonable, including the cotton income from the cotton fields, which was also planned by Xu Zixian in advance, where each household used their own cotton income to offset their previous inputs, and then bought the rest of their harvest at the market price.

For many displaced people and immigrants, they used to live in shacks or mud huts, living in rather harsh conditions, having to pay many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and being harassed and oppressed by various powerful people.

When I got here, it was really like heaven, and Xu Zixian also adopted a rather gentle method for the deduction of the investment in the house and cotton fields, and the deduction took a long time, and there was no overcharge of interest, which was already quite reasonable, and everyone was grateful.

To the northeast and southeast, there is the barracks and factory area, and a large area of the barracks and factories are quite solid and grandiose, and in the middle of the factories on both sides, the woodland is preserved, and the courtyards with a large number of flowers and trees are planted.

Circular runways have been built along various areas, with a total length of about 10 kilometres, which also includes all the building areas.

When Xu Zixian ran past, many people bowed and bowed, and greeted him with crossed hands when they got up.

There are some people who have been bowing their bodies for a long time, and when Xu Zi ran far away first, these people still did not straighten their waists.

This feeling of respect, admiration, and affection is the common emotion of almost every immigrant and homeless family, and the sense of identification with Xu Zixian and the Nan'an Hou Mansion has reached its peak here in the Eastern Domain.

In fact, before these people arrived, they really did not expect that Nan'anhou would spend a huge amount of money to build so many houses, so many livestock and so many well-made tools, there would be patches of farmland burned, there would be large water wheels, and wells...... Everything is like a dream, but when everyone wakes up in the morning, when everyone takes a deep breath in their own courtyard, and sees that the family is inhabited by relatives and friends who have been living together for many years, even after many days, many homeless people still can't help but shed tears.

Their gratitude to Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian is deep in their hearts, and if they can use a 100-point system to score the loyalty of these people, they should all be full marks.
