There is a fairy mountain outside, Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou is also, according to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not meet the mountain in the east, so he built a small city named Penglai.

From the Danya Mountain of Penglai to look far away, but see the vast sea, Miao Miao smoke and waves, scattered a group of green islands, like inlaid in the blue waves of gems, this is known as the beautiful island of the sea fairyland, later called the temple island archipelago.

Miaodao archipelago is more than 50 kilometers away from the coast, composed of more than 30 islands of all sizes, the largest island covers an area of more than 20 square kilometers, later generations called Nanchangshan Island, now it is the place where Donggong calls Sugar Island.

Here in later generations known as the gateway to the Bohai Sea, the island is rocky and rocky, when Sun Qing and others first came, here is extremely desolate, just the home of the island, many kinds of marine birds nest and build nests on the island, for thousands of years, the guano piled up under the cliff is up to several meters thick.

Today, the rest of the islands still maintain their original appearance, looking from Sugar Island, the distance is lush and green, the smoke and waves are warm, and all kinds of seabirds spread their wings and fly, chirping clearly, like a fairyland.

Sugar Island is a different story, except for the cliffs and forests, the rest of the flat land is either paved with smooth roads or covered with gorgeous houses.

In the past, the island must be full of people, in the middle of the road, people come and go, everyone wears silk shoes, talking and laughing loudly, and the four ports on the island are full of boats, bags of cane sugar raw materials are moved down from the boats, among which there will be cloth, fat pigs, cattle and sheep for the people on the island to eat, and the ground is packed with bags of snow sugar.

Now. The ships that used to be parked on the dock are gone, except for the soldiers on guard, there is no one to be seen, and the owner of the island has ordered that the island be completely closed, and all ships are not allowed to enter or leave.

In order to prevent people from sneaking out of the island at night, all the ships hid on the opposite island, the island opposite the sugar island was later called Beichangshan Island, the distance between the north and south islands was only a few miles, and there was a bay about five miles long on the north island. Facing due north, the east and west headlands jutt out into the sea, encircling the bay and serving as a natural pier where hundreds of ships can dock at once.

Although the inhabitants of Sugar Island have moved from other places, most of them have not left the island since they set foot on the land of Sugar Island, and the closure of the island has no effect on most people, and there are thousands of residents on the island, all of whom are sugar workers or family members. In order to prevent these people from being bored in their spare time, a casino and several green buildings were opened on the island. There are also several restaurants, this closed island, there are no raw materials, the production of snow sugar naturally stops, the island green buildings, restaurants, casinos are full every day. Business is doing great.

A group of people came to the dock, in the middle was a middle-aged man about forty years old, this middle-aged man was wrapped in a brocade belt around his waist, slightly rich, and his eyebrows had a general temperament that was not self-assured. ”

This middle-aged man is Sun Qing, the owner of Sugar Island, and when Yang Yong first met Sun Qing, Sun Qing was about twenty years old. Now more than ten years have passed, and Sun Qing has also changed from a young man to a middle-aged man. For more than ten years. Sun Qing has been conscientiously raising funds for the East Palace and establishing a secret guard for the East Palace. The Faculty of Agriculture and so on provided countless amounts of money.

Although there is no Sun Qing, there will also be Li Qing, Zhao Qing is used by Yang Yong, but he can be like Sun Qing who has been willing to live on a small island for more than ten years.

The profits of white sugar are huge, of course it can't be done without guards, and there has always been a three-hundred-person escort team on the island for Sun Qing to mobilize, and these sentries are the ones in the escort team.

Seeing the sentry saluting him, Sun Qing raised his hand: "No need to be polite. ”

"Yes."

"Well, are there ships coming into the island?"

The sentry shook his head: "Back to the island master, no." ”

Sun Qing's face was disappointed, even if someone snooped on Sugar Island in the past, it mostly happened outside or on the dock, but this time the enemy touched the inside, the residents of the island have entered the island for more than ten years, and they know each other, it can be said that there is no problem in loyalty, but the spy still appeared on a resident of the island, and it seems that he wants to find the account book of Sugar Island, which makes Sun Qing very vigilant, since the discovery of the spies, Sun Qing has already sealed the island.

Now that a month has passed, now calculate the time, the prince should send a letter, and now the spy has not been found, what to do next, he needs Yang Yong's instructions, these days, as soon as Sun Qing is free, he will go to the dock to check if Yang Yong's letter has arrived.

Sun Qing looked forward hard, the distance was full of blue water, there was no shadow of a ship at all, Sun Qing had to pat the sentry on the shoulder: "If there is an official document coming, immediately."

The islander's house. ”

"Yes, obedience."

A sentry on the tower suddenly shouted: "Boat, my lord, a ship is coming." ”

The several guards who came with Sun Qing were shocked in their hearts, and they tried to look forward with their eyes wide open, and there were still vast seas in the distance. However, everyone was not worried, standing tall and seeing far away, the position of the sentry was more than ten meters higher than them, and it was normal to see people first.

After waiting for more than half an hour, a black dot in the distance came into everyone's sight, and after more than half an hour, the black dot turned into a black shadow, and then turned into a small boat, there were only two strong men on board, as soon as they approached the dock, one of them quickly jumped off the boat, took out an official document from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Sun Qing: "Island owner, the letter has arrived." ”

Sun Qing took the official document, checked the integrity of the fire paint again, and then tore the letter open, it was densely covered with a series of numbers, a member of the entourage hurriedly presented a book, Sun Xin quickly translated the secret letter, after reading it, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and stuffed the letter back onto the envelope: "Go home." ”

As soon as he entered the house, Sun Qing ordered: "Invite the deputy island master and the officers above the team." ”

"Yes." Several of the entourage immediately turned and went down.

Sugar Island is not big, each person's house is very close, Sun Qing sat not long ago, five officers entered Sun Qing's mansion, but one of them was Yang Miao, although Yang Miao was frivolous and caused Yang Yong to dislike, but, in the end, following him for a long time, Yang Yong is not good to give up, not to mention that the secret of Sugar Island is important, completely entrusting Sun Qing to one, Yang Yong can not be completely assured, so he sent him to Sugar Island to serve as Sun Qing's deputy.

As soon as Yang Miao entered the door, she shouted loudly: "Island owner, Sugar Island has been closed for more than a month, when will the ban be lifted?" ”

One of the team members was ordered to put together: "Yes, yes, the island owner, isn't he just a spy, now that he is dead, what else is there to be afraid of, continue to seal the island, swear to delay the production of snow candy, how to explain to His Highness then?" ”

In order to keep it secret, except for Sun Qing and Yang Miao, the two main and deputy island masters, who knew that Sugar Island was owned by the East Palace, only the four guards in front of them knew about it, but the four teams in front of them were Sun Qing who was raised from the guards, and they had not even seen Yang Yong's face.

Sun Qing frowned, dissatisfied with everyone's unscrupulous loud talk, and shouted: "Shut up, Your Highness's affairs are still confidential, how can you be allowed to shout here, if there is a spy to spread out, how many heads can you cut off?" ”

Hearing Sun Qing's question, everyone's heads suddenly shrank, not daring to speak, Sun Qing glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was stunned, so he pressed on the wall, and a chirping sound sounded, and a wall in the hall cracked, revealing a downward staircase, leading to a secret room.

Sun Qing walked forward, everyone followed him in, the secret room was quite wide, clean and tidy, the tables and chairs were complete, obviously people often came in and out or cleaned, seeing that everyone came in, Sun Qing pressed it with his hand again in a bulge, and there was a chirping sound behind him, and the door of the secret room suddenly closed.

The place where the secret room was built was connected to a cliff, and the light outside the cliff came in, not much darker than outside, Sun Qing did not sit down immediately, but took out Yang Yong's letter, raised Yang Cai and said: "Your Highness has an order, give up Sugar Island." ”

Everyone was surprised, and Yang Miao said, "Ah, give up Sugar Island, so what should we do?" ”

"yes, yes, what are we going to do?" The rest of the crowd shouted.

"Of course, Your Highness has other arrangements, Sugar Island is too close to the mainland, and too small, food cannot be produced by itself, His Highness said in the letter, along the coast south to Fuzhou opposite there is a big island, named Liuqiu, the island is hundreds of miles long and wide, can accommodate millions of people, now only a small number of indigenous people live, we can take a boat down the river and relocate to this island."

Sun Qing said that Liuqiu is naturally the Taiwan of later generations, in fact, Taiwan is a base suitable for sugar production, but when the sugar island was established, the south still belonged to the Chen State, Chen Guo's naval army was above the Sui army, Yang Yong did not dare to risk the establishment of the sugar island in Taiwan, and later due to the vigorous development of the textile factory under the Agricultural College, the importance of the sugar island to the East Palace has declined, after the unification of the south, Yang Yong did not have the idea of fighting Taiwan, and now there are people eyeing the sugar island, so simply move the personnel to Taiwan, a hundred.
