The weather was as fine as ever.

Although it was the first month, Luo Yi was only wearing a single-layer robe.

Outside the city at sunset, the living water of the Zhangzi River surrounds the city, the water of the moat is clear, and the willow seeds brought by the Central Plains in a row have grown very well.

Luo Yi tugged at his collar, "This weather, I can't believe it's just after the New Year, this is at least the weather after the Dragon Boat Festival in the Central Plains." ”

Now is a rare good season here, after staying here for a few years, Luo Yi is also familiar with the weather here, every year before the Dragon Boat Festival until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is almost the rainy season here, and the continuous rain is several months, intermittently endless. After the Mid-Autumn Festival and before the Dragon Boat Festival of the following year, it will be a rare dry season.

During the rainy season, rainfall is concentrated, and there are often heavy rains and heavy rains, and sometimes in the dry season, there may not be a single rain for a month or two.

Another characteristic of the weather here is that the four seasons are not very distinct, even if it is a cold winter, it is still only a spring shirt.

In fact, Luo Yi still prefers the dry season, at least people don't get wet all day long.

"I can't go to Guangxi."

Luo Yi ripped off his collar a little more, Eguanbo didn't fit it here, but he wasn't used to wearing short shirts like ordinary citizens or slaves, wearing straw sandals and clogs, or even simply playing barefoot and shirtless.

In the distance, there is newly cultivated land, and groups of Zhenranu are working in the fields.

The climate here is good, and the rice seeds that have been passed down from the southern Zhancheng are planted, and there can be three crops a year, but now it is the first month, but the rice in the field is about to be harvested.

Looking at the patches of rice fields, Luo Yi sighed, although this side is indeed too remote and remote, it is really a great meal.

Simply level the land, dig a ditch to divert water and drain water, and then the ground does not need to be deeply cultivated, sow rice seeds, you can grow wildly, in the past, those local Zhenla people did not even have any management at all, and there would be no screening and seedling transplanting, just simply sowing seeds, and then almost no management, let the weed-like growth, after three months can be harvested.

This makes Luo Yi, a nobleman who is not a peasant, look jealous.

The Han immigrants even lamented that those Zhenla savages wasted such good weather in the fields. After they came, they leveled the fields, dug ditches and ditches, selected seeds, raised seedlings and transplanted seedlings, diverted water for irrigation, and even in the dry season, they could also use waterwheels and other means to ensure the water supply of the rice fields, and successfully completed the three crops in a year.

Originally, the Zhenla people were very casual about planting, anyway, there are many sparsely populated fields here, and they can sow seeds wherever they want, waiting for the harvest, and there are even various bananas and other fruits that are often available in all seasons, and they are inexhaustible.

But the Han immigrants are different, everyone is very careful to tidy up the fields, carefully cultivate, tame oxen and plows, bring the farming technology of the Central Plains, and complete the leapfrog farming upgrade on this land.

Luo Yi is in Lingnan, the most important thing is food, although the population is not large, but now there are only two counties in the sunset country, and the total population of people, slaves, soldiers, etc. is only more than 10,000 people, but the fields that have been sorted out are three crops a year, and the warehouses are full of grain.

The grain output is simply not enough, but the people are reluctant to give up those lands, and there are still three crops a year, and they are even continuing to level the fields and cultivate new fields.

Luo Yi raised his foot and kicked a pebble, the pebble fell into the moat, and a big fish that was jumping up to graze jumped and got under the waves.

What a big fish.

The moat is full of fish, and even the rice fields are full of fish and shrimp, as well as all kinds of snails, mussels, frogs, loaches, yellow eels, etc., in this kind of place, you really don't have to worry about not having enough to eat, and you don't have to worry about famine. In addition to mosquitoes, the water and soil are difficult to adapt, and it is far away from the Central Plains, in fact, this is really a good place.

"I originally wanted you to take the position of the new county lieutenant, but now it seems that you have to wait."

Li Shimin has an iron hook on his right arm, and his originally handsome face is full of thick beard and a black eye patch, looking like a rugged man in his thirties, it is hard to imagine that this is actually a famous child of a noble family in the Central Plains in his early twenties.

"Actually, I also expected that after all, the king is a clan, and he is appointed as the king here, and without the emperor's will and the court system, the kings cannot leave the fief."

"Yes, the soldiers and pro-armies stationed in the feudal country are not allowed to go out of the realm without an order, and the princes are also not allowed to go out of the realm without a will. Although this rule is a bit troublesome, after all, it is the system of the imperial court, and I can't go against it, so I can't make a bad start. ”

Although Luo Yi and the kingdom's government soldiers can't go out of bounds, Luo Yi still plans to send troops to Guangxi.

"I have gathered three hundred sons of the people, as well as more than five hundred young people of the Zhenla tribe who have submitted to the order, plus more than two hundred Zhenla slave soldiers, and gathered a thousand people."

The government soldiers are not allowed to transfer without the Privy Council, but Luo Yi just recruited a group of Fengmin's children as a volunteer, and then pulled in a group of Zhenla people and a group of slave soldiers, which bypassed.

"I plan for you to lead this group of voluntary disciples, and after leaving the Wushiling Mountains and arriving in Rinan County, you can directly take a boat to the harbor of Puyang (Rong City). I have some property there, and I have written to the steward over there, and have begun to hire ships, and when you arrive, you can board them directly and go to Guangxi. ”

Li Shimin smiled, "The king is also playing a side game, right?" ”

"The living can't let the urine suffocate to death, this time you led the army north, not only to help the imperial court to fight against the rebellion, but also a good opportunity for our southern expansion of the country, anyway, now Ningyue and other four counties are all rebellions, you bring people over, you can rest assured to rob, rob money and rob people, I don't want territory, no cities, no food, I don't lack these here, I want money and population, especially the population, no matter whether he is a Han or a slang, as long as he is attached to Ning Changzhen and others to make trouble, they can attack and loot."

Luo Yi is now west of the Changshan Mountain Range, a single country, hundreds of miles, with a population of more than 10,000, of which less than half of the Han immigrants. For Luo Yi, this is exactly what Sunset Country needs most now.

Sunset Country has a lot of arable land that can easily grow enough food to feed many people, and there is a shortage of people right now. With the population, you have everything, you can build more tunzhuang, open up more new counties, build more cities, build the handicraft workshops you need, etc., to conquer more Zhenla barbarians, and open up more territory.

"Although we can continue to fight the barbarians, these barbarians are too poor and too lazy, what else is there in those villages except for some food and fruits? At most, a few elephants and a few cows, am I missing this? Guangxi is different, Ning's Feng is also several generations of business, Ningyue County is not only rich in Beihai Hepu pearls, but also textile, porcelain, salt and other handicrafts are very good. ”
