"The general knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, Wangjia seedlings have launched Yimeng crispy dates, dates are very good, suitable for planting in mountainous areas, if they can be promoted, Yizhou will be rich." Shi Wenbin said.

Chao Gai was puzzled and asked: "Why is this, is it that the Tianwang rice and peanuts we are currently promoting are not suitable in Yizhou,"

Shi Wenbin shook his head and said: "Yizhou is more mountainous and less plain, less fertile land, and more sandy and mountainous land. Therefore, it is necessary to use Yimeng crispy jujube, which is directly grafted with wild jujube all over the mountains as rootstocks. This crisp jujube is extremely productive, the second year can bear fruit, drought resistance and barrenness, the yield is not small, as long as there is a market, crisp jujube is a good way for people in mountainous areas to get rid of poverty and get rich, and then with pepper, medicinal materials, etc., can completely solve the problem of difficult people in mountainous areas to make money. ”

Chao Gai nodded: "Okay, I support you to have the courage to try, even if you fail, I don't blame you, in addition, I heard that the local Yimeng black pig in Yimeng Mountain is very famous, you can arrange a veterinarian to find a set of breeding methods when you go to the local area, and the economic development of Yizhou will be good as soon as possible." ”

Shi Wenbin said: "Okay, I'm going to take office tomorrow, it's just that the general promised, when will the one million pepper saplings allocated be in place?"

"This has been arranged for the bald head to be strong, and it will be sent down when the temperature is a little warmer in the spring. Although a million pepper seedlings are not valuable, you have carefully arranged them, so as not to let the people plant in a daze and not manage them, that will not be effective. Chao Gai arranged.

Shi Wenbin and Chao Gai talked for most of the day, and then left Ma Yizhou to take office.

In line with the principle of making the best use of people, Chao Gai arranged for Cheng Wanli, the former governor of Dongpyeong Prefecture, to make a patrol of eight prefectures, which is responsible for supervising and supervising the internal affairs and economy of the eight prefectures under the jurisdiction of Jeju. If the prefect is equivalent to the mayor, then Cheng Wanli is equivalent to the governor, that's what it means.

As for Jingdong celebrity Wen Huanzhang, he is the director of animal husbandry, responsible for supervising the development of animal husbandry in the eight state capitals, especially large livestock, horses, cattle, mules, donkeys, camels and other large livestock. Chao Gai originally planned to arrange Wen Huanzhang to be a military advisor or a prefect of the civilian position, but he did not expect that he had a soft spot for animal husbandry, in his words, the large livestock herd is a barometer of economic development, why the Tang Dynasty was so strong, is because the number of horses and cattle has increased greatly, horses and cattle are not only livestock in the era of agricultural economy, but also represent the advanced labor force, cattle can plough the land, can pull carts. Horses can be ridden and carts pulled, and the more large livestock there are, the more manpower can be saved and more skilled manual labor can be engaged. Therefore, according to Wen Huanzhang, it is very important that he is mainly responsible for large livestock, and only when the number of cattle and horses in Shandong goes up, can the factory have more labor and become really strong.

The Spring Festival of 1115 was still relatively tight, although Heilong Island and Jeju Island had a bumper harvest of grain and fishery, but this year there were three huge wars, one was fought with Gao Lian, and by the way, it took the eight state capitals of Shandong, laying the foundation of the territory of the Jeju Army, and it was considered to have a place. The second war was fought with the imperial court, the golf marshal army crusaded against the Jeju army, the Jeju army sniped war, although it was a complete victory, but there were still thousands of casualties of men and horses. The third huge war was to go north to Hebei to resist the Liao soldiers at the request of the imperial court. The war was also a great victory, with thousands of soldiers killed, but 100,000 new engineers recruited. But in the same way, the consumption of grain and grass is very large, and the grain and grass for the relief of the people of Hebei have used up a lot of grain transported from Heilong Island.

If the consumption of these three wars is bearable, but the relief of the grain and grass consumed by the people in the other seven provinces except Jeju has become an important burden for the Jeju army, but for the sake of the people's hearts and the prestige that has just been established, the rescue policy must be carried out, and only in this way can the people be trusted. What's more, these are all people under their own jurisdiction, and they are not outsiders, so how much food is consumed, as long as they can use the idea, they can't feel distressed.

Therefore, Chao Gai had to consider the new way of money and food, the third year of the Lunar New Year, when the entire Jeju people were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, Chao Gai had already begun to work, Jeju Shuibo Yangsan Wharf, Chao Gai, Zhu Wu, Hu Cheng and the Navy's Seventh Fleet Captain Soft Xiaoqi were also there.

The fireplace in the army is burning vigorously, the room is very warm, Chao Gai directly stepped into the topic, and said: "Although Heilong Island is huge, it has developed a lot of land so far, and there is potential for continued development in the future, but because the climate here is too cold, the grain is harvested once a year, if it is just a problem for our own use, we are most afraid of the Central Plains ***, we need to help the people, so it will be a little powerless." The treasurer said that there are many islands in the South China Sea, but he has found that there is something worth developing. ”

Pulling out the chart, Hu Cheng said: "The southern sea area is very huge, and we still have very few places to go, mainly for trade with small countries such as South Vietnam and Java. There are many uninhabited islands, but the sea area is too windy and waves, which has a great impact on the safety of the route, but there is an island here, that is, Ryukyu Island, although it is now under the jurisdiction of Fujian, but it has not formed an effective notice, and it is in a state of self-control, there are tens of thousands of people from Fujian and Zhejiang and thousands of local people, and the area is not known to be many times larger than Jeju Prefecture, plus the climate here is hot, and the rice is doubled or three times a year, to talk about grain, the output here is very huge, Another point is that there are ready-made people here, and as long as effective management can be formed, the money and grain can be collected in that year, which is still helpful for alleviating the current temporary difficulties. ”

Chao Gai didn't speak for a long time, he didn't expect that Hu Cheng would say that it would be Taiwan Island, Taiwan Island is very close to the vicinity, the Fujian Navy Division in the Northern Song Dynasty was very powerful, although the Seventh Fleet could defeat the Fujian Navy Division, but Chao Gai didn't want to wipe out the Northern Song Dynasty Navy Division.

"If the island of Taiwan is occupied, will the Fujian sailors react violently, and what does the shopkeeper think," Chao Gai asked.

Hu Chengdao: "Those officials of the Great Song Dynasty have probably forgotten this place, the islands that hang overseas are all used by exiled prisoners in the eyes of the officials, and the others are not of much use, we occupy this place, the imperial court may not ask, as for the Fujian sailors, they only need to spend some money to make a point,"
