Using Huairou's method, the tribes of the Niu Islands accepted the Jeju army, and a few days later, the Zhuangding team arrived and began to build the port in good shape. The caravan also arrived, and for the first time, thousands of cattle were traded, including a large number of iron pots, kitchen knives, plates, bowls, mosquito nets, mosquito coils, liquor, cloth and many other daily necessities.

Naturally, it was impossible for caravans to be permanent, and in normal times there was a small shop in the port with basic goods, which was convenient for the people of the Ox Islands to buy things.

The medical team that arrived half a month later was slower than the caravan, including three doctors, five nurses, and two pharmacists. These herdsmen used to be treated by the shaman of the tribe, who was a god stick, and his medical skills were very low, and he only knew some simple herbs, so the herdsmen on the island still had a lot of various diseases.

The herdsmen are driving the herds of cattle and sheep to treat diseases, and there is a middle-aged man who often has stomach aches and stomach troubles, which has lasted for more than half a year. The doctor diagnosed the disharmony of the spleen and stomach and prescribed 20 packets of medicine for treatment, and because of the consideration that his family did not have a casserole for boiling medicine, he opened a casserole and an enamel bowl.

The middle-aged man said: "It's not enough to pay a cow for so many medicines." ”

The doctor said, "Didn't you listen carefully, seeing a doctor and taking medicine for free for three months, and only charging a low price after three months, just like the medical center on Heilong Island." ”

Like this herdsman, many herdsmen thought that it would cost a lot of money to take medicine and see a doctor, but in fact, after coming over, they found that they didn't need any money at all, and the cattle and sheep that had arrived drove back again. The herdsmen wondered why the goods of the caravan needed to be exchanged, and the things of the medical hall were so cheap, and the interpreters explained to them that the caravan was a merchant, and the merchant wanted to make money. The doctors in the hospital are the doctors, who treat the sick and save people, and naturally they can't make money for curing the sick and saving people.

After three months of free medical care, the entire Cow Islands were happy, but the great shaman on the island was not happy, because his business was getting less and less, and no one even went to him.

This is followed by material assistance, which is also free of charge, but the target is specific, the elderly over 50 years old, and the children under 15 years old. Each person was given a mosquito net, two sets of coarse cloth clothes, and an iron pot for boiling water.

This aid made many people in the Cow Islands red-eyed, and other things were enough, except for mosquito nets and iron pots that were in good stock in the Cow Islands, and a single iron pot was worth one or even several cows.

Followed by learning, there are only seven or eight hundred children in the entire Niu Islands, and the building is planned to have a boarding fully enclosed school, which can accommodate two thousand people, but the construction period will have to start next year. However, the tent primary school can be opened first, dozens of sturdy cowhide tents have been erected, and strong fences are used around them to prevent wild beasts, and Gongsun Sheng personally publicized and recruited more than 200 children aged seven or eight.

The herdsmen on the island are ignorant and do not know what education is, and coercion will cause resentment, and they will not listen to them when they learn knowledge.

The 200 or so children were divided into six classes, with more than 30 people in each class. At the beginning, I didn't do anything, just eat, play football, do games, teachers play games or a lot of tricks, football, skipping rope, building blocks, hide and seek, the children are crazy, the food is good, every day meat and vegetarian matching, the children used to be beef-based, now changed to meat as a supplement, rice steamed bread, and there are many vegetables that have never been seen to eat, everyone is very happy.

After a happy life for more than a month, the teachers said: "It's autumn vacation, you go back for half a month, and at the same time look at the children around you who haven't come to school to tell them, let them come to school too." ”

"Yes, yes." The children are naturally happy to invite the neighbor's children to come to school together, these children go back, and give the many benefits of the school to the neighbor's children, the neighbor's children are very happy, it turns out that the school is so good, every day is a group of people to play together, all kinds of games have never been seen, when they are tired of playing, they eat, eat fragrant white rice, sleep in a warm tent at night, and have soft mats, so they also want to go to school.

Half a month later, when the school started, the number of students expanded to 500 people, but this time it was different, although it was still mainly to make games, but gradually added some cultural classes, such as playing football, taking a football is one, taking two footballs is two, three footballs is three, children learn imperceptibly.

Gongsun Sheng felt that this island was almost over, there were only about 5,000 people on the island, and it was still very peaceful overall. The Chao Xiong army was about to retreat, but the harbor was garrisoned with 200 musketeers.

Many livelihood facilities such as medical centers, studies, and commodities were transferred to the jurisdiction of the Black Dragon Mansion, and Wang Lun set up a county on this island and sent a more practical Li County Order, known as the Niu Qun County Order.

This county order is shabby, just a master, a translator, there are no three classes of officials for the time being, and slowly recruit the residents of the island to form a team of officials, and at present, the county commander only needs to manage the order of the medical hall, study, and shops.

Gongsun Sheng, Chao Xiong led the team back to Anping Port, this trip is finally worth the trip, the tribe on the Niu Islands to get done, the area of the Niu Islands is large, not to mention, the main thing is that the cattle are rich in resources, how much is the scale of 100,000 cattle, can provide as many as 20,000 or 30,000 cattle every year, providing an important animal guarantee for the development of agriculture.

Before he arrived at the port, he heard the thumping of muskets in the crops on the shore, and Gongsun Sheng watched from the pergola, only to see that the musketeers were hunting wild boars in a group of ten.

"It's autumn harvest again, and I remember that when we went to the Cow Islands, the sorghum hadn't yet tasseled, and now it's red." Gongsun Sheng sighed.

Chao Xiong said: "Or the military advisor has feelings, if you want me to say that it's time to kill wild boars again, you look at how fierce the musketeers are, to say that this wild boar is really, every autumn harvest comes out to harm the crops, and the soldiers have to assist the farm to fight wild boars." ”

Gongsun Sheng shook his head: "How can wild boars survive the cold winter if they don't eat fat, so conflicts with crops are inevitable, but there are not many mountain cols we have cultivated, and there is still a lot of room for wild boars to live." I'll be back when the caravan arrives in a few days. ”

"The military advisor wants to go back to Yuncheng?" Chao Xiong asked.

Gongsun Sheng said: "When Brother Chao Gai arranged for me to come to Heilong Island, he said that I would assist Liu Tang to stabilize the situation on Heilong Island, and assist Wang Lun to develop Heilong Island into a large base for grain, fish, and livestock, and then I could go back." Now that Liu Tang, Yuan Lang and other generals are strong and strong, your naval army can also deal with possible naval battles, so I should go back. ”

The fleet docked, this trip can be regarded as a great victory, the results achieved are good, completely conquered the Niu Islands, the caravan from the Niu Islands to transport about two years old calves as many as three or four thousand, the cattle temporarily found a pasture near the port of Anping, waiting for a few days to be transported back.

Gongsun Sheng and Chao Xiong returned to the naval barracks, and held a celebration banquet in the evening, and the military documents recorded the merits of each of them this time, and the two hundred cavalry brought by Gongsun Sheng also had merit, and everyone received some rewards of silver first, and other military merits will be issued when they are reported to the military department.

At the celebration banquet, Hao Siwen said: "Can the military advisor be busy tomorrow? ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "There is no arrangement for tomorrow for the time being, and the autumn harvest of the farm is also more properly arranged, and I can only cause trouble when I go." ”
