Ruan Xiaoer still had that fiery temper: "If it weren't for the fact that the military advisor had an order and would not let the troops be dispatched, our naval army would have been destroyed long ago, and this would have been Fan Rui."

Chao Gai asked: "How much food has been lost, has it hurt people?" ”

"I heard from Wu Junshi that the caravan escorting the grain was not injured, and two boats of grain were lost 100,000 catties." Ruan Xiaoer said.

Chao Gai nodded: "Well, let's go back quickly." ”

As soon as they arrived at the dock, the first thing many soldiers did when they got off the ship was to sit on the ground, which felt so comfortable that the boat was always rocking. Chao Gai gave all the soldiers and sailors who returned from the voyage a holiday. Everyone happily took their military salaries, some went shopping, and some went to the Qinglou.

Chao Gai said: "Jiao Ting, give you a holiday, you can rest and rest." ”

"My brother doesn't rest, what do I have to rest, besides, I'm the most leisurely, just follow my brother all day long." Jiao Ting said.

Chao Gai smiled: "You protect my safety, do your duty, how can you say that it is the most leisurely, you have sacrificed your life and forgotten death in several times in distress, and it is time to rest and rest." The soldiers are also on holiday, you follow them to the city to drink and buy something. ”

"Okay, then I'll go, but what about my brother's safety." Jiao Ting is still relieved.

Luo Yun said: "I'm not here." ”

Chao Gai said, "Go, go." I'm either in the barracks or at home today, so I don't have to worry about my safety. ”

Jiao Ting and his soldiers went to the city to have a good time, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang, Luan Tingyu, and Ruan Xiaoer. Everyone was chatting and drinking tea in the big tent, and Liu Tang was very happy: "My brother is finally back, everyone wants to kill my brother for more than half a year." ”

"Hehe, I've always been worried about my family, let's talk about our harvest in New Jeju, New Jeju is doing very well under the care of Mr. Gongsun and Xiao Rang, and now nearly 500,000 land has been developed, and the population is close to 50,000." Chao Gai said.

Zhu Wu was surprised: "There are only 20,000 strong men recruited and recruited several times in a row, and there are only 35,000 of the 15,000 aborigines on the island, how can there be 15,000 more people?" ”

Gongsun Sheng smiled: "Haha, this is all my brother's good idea, the people of Goryeo live in poverty, and there are many girls in the family, so they are not taken seriously." The elder brother recruited more than 10,000 Goryeo women from Goryeo. Although it is a female streamer, it is still possible to work, and then most of the men we recruited in the past were always looking for a daughter-in-law, so we recruited Korean women. ”

Luan Tingyu said: "I heard that the women of Fanbang have a strange appearance, can our men in the Great Song Dynasty take a fancy to them?" ”

"Luan Jiaotou is a full man who doesn't know that hungry men are hungry, it is already a very good thing for these strong men to find a daughter-in-law, but Luan Jiaotou is wrong, whether it is a Goryeo woman or a Tamluo woman, they all have the same appearance as my Chinese children, and some are very handsome." Chao Gai said.

Luan Tingyu said: "Yes, I always thought that the women of Fanbang were ugly." ”

"Luan Jiaotou is tempted, wait until I turn around and follow my brother to New Jeju, and marry a few Goryeo women back." Liu Tang said with a smile.

Men, it's always inevitable to make a few jokes, and quickly get to the point.

Chao Gai told the matter of the reclamation of New Jeju in detail, everyone was very happy, after all, there is nothing more important than having a consolidated rear, New Jeju is far away from the mainland, it is completely Chao Gai's final say, it is a big granary, and some people can be recruited in the future to collect agricultural taxes and establish a commonly used grain production area.

Chao Gai said: "In addition to New Jeju, Xu Guanzhong led us to the northeast to investigate, and found a huge island at the northern end of the Dongying Islands, because this island is located at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, so it is called Heilong Island. ”

Wu Yong said: "How big is this island?" What is the demographic? ”

"The island is thousands of miles long from north to south and narrow from east to west. It's really hard to say how big the area is, it's roughly equivalent to the size of Jingxi Road. With a population of about 100,000, the island is rich in rivers, grasslands and forests. The countless fish and shrimp in the sea can be described as a treasure. ”

Everyone grew their mouths, Liu Tang swallowed his saliva, and said: "This island is so big, if you take Black Dragon Island, you will no longer have to worry about money and food." ”

Luan Tingyu said: "This island won't be an ownerless island, will it cause a big war if it is taken?" ”

"What Luan Jiaotou said is that this island originally belonged to the Liao State. It's just that the Jin Kingdom is rising, and the Liao State is hot, so no one cares about this island, and now it is a situation where no one cares, after all, most of the tribes on the island are mainly fishing and hunting, and there is no oil and water to fish. At present, if you want to take Black Dragon Island, you only need to coordinate the relationship between the various tribes on the island. In addition, the southern part of the island is a large area of open space, and there is a lot of pasture that can be developed. Chao Gai explained.

Liu Tang suddenly proposed: "Brother, I remember you said that the origin of the Jin Kingdom is in the Heilongjiang River Basin, isn't there countless horses on that large grassland, if Heilongjiang can pass ships, why not transport the horses of the Jin Kingdom to Heilong Island by ship, let's establish a few super large pastures on Heilong Island, wouldn't it be ten thousand times stronger than Liangshan Island." ”

Chao Gai was very relieved that Liu Tang originally didn't know a single big word, but now he knows how to think, and he can put forward such constructive suggestions.

"This proposal is good, I will immediately inform Chao Wei and ask him to survey the terrain in the Kingdom of Jin to see how to transport horses to Black Dragon Island by water." Chao Gai said.

Liu Tang was very happy, happy and happy.

Zhu Wu said: "When will Heilong Island be developed? ”

Gongsun Shengdao: "New Jeju has just been developed, and we don't have many transport ships yet, and we won't consider Heilong Island until New Jeju is stable next year." ”

Wu Yong analyzed for a while and said: "Black Dragon Island is a big place, there are 100,000 tribes on the island, which is already a very huge population, and this island is thousands of miles long from north to south, it seems that if we want to gain a foothold here, we need at least 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus a naval fleet, otherwise it will be more difficult for each convenience." ”

Chao Gai said: "Mr. Wu shouldn't be too busy recently, and the preparation for the development of Heilong Island will be left to you to plan." ”

Wu Yong said: "Okay. ”

As I said just now, Heilong Island is too big, and it is not easy to develop it, and the various materials needed are astronomical, of course, once developed, the benefits are also very good.

After talking about overseas affairs, Wu Yong said: "There are two important things recently, and I think my brother should also know, one is that the tax money transported by Jeju Prefecture to Kaifeng in Tokyo was robbed, and the other is that our grain ship was robbed. It was none other than Mangdang Mountain, which had just emerged this year, and the big boss was called Fan Rui, with two brothers, one Xiang Chong and the other Li Gon. ”
