Chapter 531: Gold and People

The island of the Lion City is gradually settling down. Gu Liu Yong sent someone to investigate, and the Tatar slaves also heard about it after more than a year. They gave the name of the country, and their name was Yang, Yang Dynasty. The symbol of the Tatar is that the sun illuminates every corner of the world.

"Hmph, compare yourself to the sun, what a big breath." Liu Yong said disdainfully.

Due to the turmoil of the past year, the oppression of the Han people by the Tatar slaves made many Han people miserable, and they had to go to sea one after another. At first, Liu Yong asked the warships to wait at sea to greet him. After that, there was no one to be seen. Later, I learned that the Yang Dynasty ordered the sea to be sealed, maritime trade was banned, and the Han people were forbidden to escape. Dahua's feature film apprentices in the entire Huaxia need people.

Of course, Liu Yong's Lion City Island also needs people. Especially soldiers.

Liu Yong brought the sick fairy to study the matter of conscription. There were also Liu Qiang and Wu Qing during the period. At this time, in this Lion City Island, Liu Yong no longer needs any personal bodyguards. And the age of the departure is also old. Not suitable to be a personal bodyguard. Liu Yong has already trained four guards with swords who are highly skilled in martial arts. Once they go out, they are by their side, they are young and strong, strong in martial arts, and very safe.

Su Erniang doesn't have to protect Liu Yong, she is now dedicated to raising her daughter. Since Pan'er came to her side, she is like a different person, and the original little chivalrous atmosphere has become no longer at all. All that's left is femininity.

But she still has to teach Xiao Pan'er to practice some martial arts, at least Jinglai can protect herself. In fact, Su Erniang also knows that born in a family like theirs, like Pan'er will be a princess in the future. There is no need for martial arts or anything.

Princess? Hehe, Pan'er is five years old at this time, look at what the world is like when she is fifteen!

Regarding the issue of conscription, in fact, Liu Yong and others scratched their heads very much. At present, there are only a hundred thousand people in the entire Lion City Island, and not all of them are young men. If you count the young people, there are only 50,000 people in total, and it is impossible for them to be soldiers. Many of the factories on the island are in need of young and strong laborers. For example, the shipyard that is about to be built will require thousands of young and strong laborers. Where else is there to be a soldier?

Now even if there is money, there is no one. This is the biggest dilemma that restricts Liu Yong. There was money, but no one was a soldier.

In fact, until now, Liu Yong has not told his subordinates that he wants to raise troops to counterattack the Yang Dynasty. However, the sick immortal and Liu Qiang, Wu Qing and others had long known the lord's intentions.

But they also know that the reason why Liu Yong did not bring up this matter is probably because it is still immature. In addition, now that the island will be settled down, and more than 100,000 people will live happily here, Liu Yong issued copper and silver coins and gold coins to use as currency. And both silver and copper he exchanged gold for Isis (Persia).

First of all, if the people who come to the Lion City Island bring gold and silver, they can exchange copper coins or silver with Liu Yong's currency department at the same price. If you have nothing, you can work in the factory set up by Liu Yong to earn money.

Before Liu Yong built the Lion City Island, he built a factory to mint coins. His earliest ambition was to build the island into a small country. own country.

Now, after two years of immigration, a country has taken shape. Various functional departments have also been established. In terms of business, in addition to the factories belonging to Liu Yong, other forms of factories are also strongly encouraged.

Some wealthy businessmen who fled here did business. They bought ships from Liu Yong's shipyard and carried out ocean-going trade.

In this regard, Liu Yong is happy to see it. He wanted to make his own country, of course, not yet called a country. I want to turn my Lion City Island into a free trading port. The goods produced on the island are constantly traded to other countries.

In this way, the island will gradually become an island of wealthy commerce. It will attract a large number of immigrants. Of course, not everyone can immigrate to the island. Liu Yong is most willing to accept the Han people.

To this end, he sent a large number of fine works to infiltrate the Yang Dynasty and spread the message of Shicheng Island in the Han Chinese gathering place. Of course, I will not arouse the doubts of the rulers of the Yang Dynasty for the time being, and their propaganda is still reserved. It's not as good as it says, but it's a good place for Han Chinese. At least not to be enslaved by the Tartars.

With such a good thing, the Han people couldn't stop it one by one. Because this news spread at least among the Han Chinese, the news was kept very secret and did not reach the ears of the Tatars.

As a result, along the long coastline in the south, there is an endless stream of stowaways.

On the other side of the sea, Liu Yong's big ship will greet them. This crazy smuggling lasted for more than a year before it was discovered by the rulers of the Yang Dynasty. Sometimes, overnight, an entire village disappears. To the surprise of the Tarnus.

Later, I learned that these people had gone to sea and fled.

Only then did he quickly order an increase in the number of troops in coastal defense and reduce the phenomenon of smuggling. At this time, after the Tatars attacked Dahua, they did not stop their conquest.

Instead, he marched all the way west to the edge of the Loren Empire in Bazhou in the west. The momentum is quite violent. At this time, the emperor of the Yang Dynasty was called Na Leng, a poor and militant guy. His ambition is to rule the whole world.

In the past two years, Liu Yong's Lion City Island has tripled its population to 600,000. This is no small scale. Although the population is still much smaller than some big cities in Dahua.

But the good news is that although the Tatar Sea is well defended, after all, the coastline is long and there are always omissions. And in addition to the sea, these smugglers have also opened up a new way of smuggling, that is, by land.

In any case, the population of the island is growing rapidly. This made Liu Yong very satisfied. With people, the possibility of statehood is increasing.

And his recruitment on Lion City Island has not stopped for more than two years, and there are now 80,000 troops. Although the war as a counter-offensive to the Tatars is a drop in the bucket, at least it can protect itself. With the ambition of the Tartars, he may wave his army south and attack at any time.

But Liu Yong knew that the Tatars were not very interested in Nanyang, which was also his intention to choose Lion City Island back then.

But no matter what, Liu Yong's Lion City Island is developing at a rapid pace. In just two or three years, the city has doubled in size. In addition to the core urban area, Liu Yong allows people to buy land and live here in peace. However, no matter whether the people actually buy the land, the real ownership is in Liu Yong's hands.

As time passed, Liu Yong felt that the time was ripe for the founding of the country.
