Under the temptation of a large amount of money, the merchants fully embodied their character of not wanting to die for money.

When they tried the passage from Dengzhou to Liao, there was indeed no danger, and a large number of goods like a tide were transported to Liao.

The Liao business, which originally seemed to have been squeezed into bagasse, quickly swelled up like a fritter.

And the fallen leaves of the initiator quietly sailed to Dongtou Island.

Dongtou Island is an archipelago, in addition to the main island Dongtou Island, there are more than 100 other islands surrounding Dongtou Island, which are not large in area, but they are the favorite of pirates.

Don't think that there were no pirates in the Song Dynasty.

On the contrary, there were many pirates in the Song Dynasty, among which Dongtou Island was the most.

Because Dongtou Island is the closest to Shamen Island, and Shamen Island is precisely the place where the Great Song Dynasty issued prisoners.

Some of the outlaws who were sent to Salmon Island, after escaping the guards of the officials, fled to Dongtou Island by boat.

There are also all the remnants of the previous dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue, the Southern Han Dynasty, and so on.

All in all, Dongtou Island is a pirate den.

After leading a group of people under his command to Dongtou Island, Fallen Leaf used a strong fist to declare sovereignty on Dongtou Island, and forcefully swept away the remnants of Dongtou Island.

They are all scum, and they are not vulnerable at all under the attack and defense of the formally trained soldiers under the command of Fallen Leaves.

Nearly 8,000 pirates were formed into a huge group of infrastructure slaves and began to build infrastructure on Dongtou Island.

Yang Qi ordered several places for the construction of fallen leaves, and all of them were built without falling leaves.

It took two months for the fallen leaves to clean up Dongtou Island.

Standing on the edge of the largest pier on Dongtou Island, Fallen Leaf was wearing a long robe, waiting for someone.

I didn't wait long, and I saw a big ship flying the flag of the southern country, slowly entering the dock.

Fallen leaves hurriedly greeted him.

There was an important person on board.

Someone who is important to him.

A man who came to pick peaches after he took care of Dongtou Island.

The big ship came to the shore, and the first to get off the big ship was a group of soldiers.

They were dressed in black armor and had no faces visible at all.

Their countenances are shrouded in visor.

"Where are the fallen leaves?"

The leader is a burly man, even if he has armor on his body, he still can't hide his burliness.

Fallen Leaf stepped forward and arched his hand: "I am Fallen Leaf." ”

The burly man glanced at the fallen leaves, and asked in a cold voice, "Can a warehouse for hoarding goods be built?" ”

Fallen Leaves nodded, "According to Master Hou's orders, all the warehouses have been built." ”

The burly man said indifferently: "From today onwards, the warehouse will be officially taken over by us." It's best not to get close to the warehouse, or you'll be killed. ”

Falling leaves nodded and smiled: "Understood." ”

Later, the burly man did not chat with Fallen Leaves, he asked Fallen Leaves for two guides, and led his soldiers to the two islands where the warehouses were located.

After the soldiers of the southern country left.

From the large boat behind them, a man wearing a blue robe and carrying a large cloth wrap on his back came down.

This person is the one who really came to pick deciduous peaches.

An ordinary person, a serious reader.

used to be an official, but he was still a high-ranking official.

Luoye knew this person, and after he saw this person, he took the initiative to greet him, "Mr. Lu......"

The middle-aged man who was replaced by Mr. Lu smiled bitterly, stuffed the package behind him into the arms of the fallen leaves, and sighed, "I escaped from your hands at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to fall into your hands again after a circle."

It's really a trick! Hey......"

Falling Leaf carried Mr. Lu's package and grinned: "If you hadn't offended Huhou at the beginning, maybe you would have become a governor by now." Therefore, if you can't complain, blame you for offending the wrong person.

But it's okay now, we'll be stirring horses and spoons in a pot in the future, and we'll be a family. ”

"Family?"

Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, and then roared and scolded: "Who is a family with you, if it weren't for that shameless Su Yijian's design to deceive all my family members to the southern country, I would be in the same boat with you?" Maybe I'll be called back to court now.

Not only did you plan to frame me, but you also kidnapped my family, which is simply shameless. Who's a family with you shameless people? ”

Falling Leaves didn't care about Mr. Lu's abuse, he grinned, bared his teeth and smiled: "Do you have a choice now?" You know so many secrets of the Tiger Hou, you think the Tiger Hou will let you go easily. ”

At the mention of this, the expression on Mr. Lu's face became more and more bitter, "I didn't know how powerful Yang Yansi was, so I instigated the third prince to fight against Yang Yansi." I thought that I would be able to mix a hero from the dragon in the future. Unexpectedly, Yang Yansi was brought to Yongzhou in one fell swoop. Only then did he have the opportunity to discover that Yang Yansi was a vicious wolf in sheep's clothing.

Defeated at the hands of a vicious wolf, I was unjustly defeated. ”

Mr. Lu paused, and asked Luoye hesitantly, "From the time I was assigned to Yongzhou, and then to the south by design, all this is too strange." You used to be the person next to Yang Yansi, can you tell me. Has Yang Yansi been eyeing me for a long time? ”

Luoye hesitated for a moment, and when he thought that the guy in front of him was now his own person, he said honestly: "When Huhou established the Southern Kingdom, he always felt that there was a big shortage of officials in the Southern Kingdom, and he needed to get a group of cadres to help him manage the Southern Kingdom.

Huhou once made a list, and your name Lu Mengzheng happened to be on the list. ”

That's right!

This person called Mr. Lu was assigned to Yongzhou, and then when Zhao Guangyi remembered that he wanted to recall him, Lu Mengzheng, who was not available.

From Lu Mengzheng being sent to Yongzhou to getting Lu Mengzheng to the south, all the fallen leaves behind this have been involved, so he understands the process of Lu Mengzheng being pit to the south.

In fact, it is very simple, Lu Meng is going to Yongzhou alone, and less than two months after he took office, his family also went to Yongzhou.

It just so happened that at this time, there was a rebellion among the wingmen in the mountains of Yongzhou, and the target was the place where Lü Meng was governing.

These rebellious bureaucrats brutally tied up Lü Mengzheng and his family to the south.

Lu Mengzheng, who had just arrived in the south, resisted fiercely.

In the end, Su Yijian, the black-bellied guy, coerced and lured to sign a document.

A document proving his treason.

Then he had no choice but to give in.

Su Yijian not only coerced Lu Mengzheng to sign a document of treason, but also detained his family members.

Under the double coercion, Lu Mengzheng had to help Yang Qi do things.

After serving as the Fuzun in the southern country for two years, he was brought to Dongtou Island by Su Yijian and came over to help Fallen Leaves jointly govern Dongtou Island and Shamen Island.

Hearing that Yang Qi had already thought about him, Lu Mengzheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He only hoped that he was not the worst one among the people who were remembered by Yang Qi.

Otherwise, when everyone gets together in the future and talks about the process of being pitted by Yang Qi, he will look very faceless.

"How many of the people on the Huhou previous list have now submitted to the Huhou?"

Lu Mengzheng asked tentatively.

Fallen leaves lowered their heads and pondered, and said, "Sancheng ......"

Lu Mengzheng nodded and said with emotion: "Being able to dig up thirty percent of the people from the imperial court is enough to show that the Tiger Marquis is very remarkable." ”

Fallen Leaf smiled and didn't speak.

If a wronged boss is caught, it will look miserable, but with a group of wronged bosses accompanying him, it will not be so miserable.

Lu Mengzheng chatted with Luoye for a while, and then quickly entered the state of his official, on the way back to the temporary government office on the island, Lu Mengzheng asked Luoye, "What is the construction of Dongtou Island now?" ”

Falling Leaves pointed to the slaves who were still working not far away, and said, "Several places requested by the Tiger Marquis have been built. At present, the road on the island is being built, as well as inns, shops, and warehouses that will be used for the docks in the future.

Huhou means that this place will be built as a place of sea transit, and it may be able to develop to the scale of a harbor city in the future. So the construction of the foundation has to keep up.

Moreover, the permanent population of the island should be about 20,000 to 30,000 in the future, and the places where these people need to live must also be emptied quickly. ”

Lu Mengzheng frowned and asked, "Isn't it a little fast?" ”

Falling leaves smiled: "Not happy! Those southern soldiers who followed me have been wandering overseas for more than half a year, and it is estimated that they will settle here in the future. Many of them have already suggested to me that they should bring their families over and live here together.

Moreover, although the Great Song Dynasty court also gave us Shamen Island. But Huhou doesn't seem to have any intention of staying on Salmon Island. He asked us to properly clean up some of the heinous criminals in it after taking over Salmon Island, and then move the rest of the people to Dongtou Island and focus on the development of Dongtou Island. ”

Lu Mengzheng clicked his mouth and said with emotion: "It seems that this Dongtou Island will not be able to be taken back in the future by the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Luo Ye smiled: "Not necessarily, as long as Da Song is stronger than us, they can take it back at any time." ”

Lu Mengzheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Under the construction of Yang Qi, how strong the southern country is, Lu Meng has seen it with his own eyes.

In agriculture, rice that crops twice a year and three times a year provides almost endless food for the people of southern China.

Not only that, the grain exported by Nanguo to the Great Song Dynasty every year is tens of millions of quintals.

Even so, the barns in the southern part of the country are still full of grain.

Every year, when it was time to pay taxes, there was almost no need for the government to urge, and the people of the southern country happily handed over their grain.

There are even some second-hand goods who threaten the government to collect more grain.

When others know about this, they may think that these second goods are stupid, but Lu Mengzheng thinks that these second goods are smart.

Because their grain is also moldy at home, it is better to hand it over to the government directly.

The government in the south of the country has a policy that every year, the expenses for their children to go to school will be reduced or exempted for large grain collectors.

Most of the children in the south have left the literacy stage and are now studying in the county schools in the county.

For some children in remote areas of the county, the annual tuition, accommodation, and transportation fees are a lot of money.

And once they are rated as large grain collectors, they can save a large part of the money and grain.

In comparison, the extra grain is a drop in the bucket for them.

Culturally, basic education has been implemented in almost all parts of the southern country, and in every village, village, and town, all children who have reached the age of eight must go to government private schools to study.

No reason for refusal is allowed. Even some adults are being forced to learn.

There are higher-level county schools in the county, and there are countless subjects set up in the county schools, involving all walks of life.

There are academies in Fucheng, and almost all of them are places where high-level talents and top technical talents in various industries are cultivated.

There are also two university halls in the capital city of Seoul, which are the most advanced.

One article and one martial arts.

Nurturing higher-class talents.

All the talents who come out of the two major universities are basically talents who walk sideways in the southern country.

It's just that because the two major universities have not been established for a long time, and there are not many students who can be admitted to the two major universities, it looks a little depressed.

However, Lu Mengzheng can be sure that if Nanguo is given another ten years, Nanguo will not only be able to complete the goal of national literacy, but also be able to cultivate a large number of high-level talents.

And these, Da Song can't do.

Not to mention giving the Great Song Dynasty ten years, even if it is given to the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to reach the level of the Southern Kingdom in terms of education.

When Lu Mengzheng was studying the policy of the southern country with Su Yijian, he witnessed with his own eyes that no matter the officials at the level of the southern country, they never deducted money from education issues.

The scarecrow, the secret service agency in the south, checks the money on the issue of education at all levels, from beginning to end, and no one dares to embezzle on it.

Once discovered, the whole family was assigned to the account of the female demon king.

When it came to the account of the female demon king, it was worse than death.

He also witnessed with his own eyes that when Su Yijian approved the money for education, the amount of money approved every year was as high as tens of millions of taels.

The above two simple aspects, Da Song can't do.

Commercially, the commerce of the southern country is very prosperous, and the degree of prosperity even exceeds that of the Great Song Dynasty.

Nanguo attaches great importance to business and protects the interests of merchants. The southern kingdom has a well-established commercial law and a government that specializes in managing commerce.

Merchants can not only do business safely in the southern country, but also do not have to worry about being remembered because of the high amount of money.

Ever since the commercial laws of the southern kingdom were preached, merchants from all over the country have desperately ventured into the southern kingdom.

Not to mention anything else, the household registration documents approved by the southern imperial court to settle down in the southern kingdom every year are as many as tens of thousands.

The entry of so many merchants into the southern country not only led to the commercial prosperity of the southern country, but also brought great wealth to the southern country.

The original two ports in Nanguo have also been expanded to four.

Every day, you can see a lot of merchants coming and going from the south to the north, stopping in the south.

Militarily, the southern country can be said to be very crazy.

Selective service for all.

This is a military service system that Lu Mengzheng has never heard of.

It is not only men who join the army when they reach a certain age, but there are even women who join the army when they reach adulthood.

And the women in the south did not have much resistance to joining the army, but many women enthusiastically joined the army.

Why......
