It was a large lobster with black and white lines, and the black and white lines on its body could be seen clearly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Its forefeet do not have crab pincers or giant claws of North America, and are easy to grasp.

But, judging by its size, it has lived safely for at least two hundred years!

Forget it, spare you, old fellow!

However, the guy didn't seem to appreciate it, and actually leaned his whole body out, waving his long tentacles proudly......

Ignore it and land first, there are too many reefs here.

In this way, they slowly approached the gray-white sandy beach, which was the result of the weathering of the white coral limestone, which was different from the limestone species of the mouth of the Badao River.

They hoisted the boat and rowed onto the beach.

When their feet set foot on the wet sand, countless hermit crabs sped into the sand, as if someone could catch them.

Even the seagulls in the sky screamed.

In the blue sky, there are thin white clouds flowing, and the smell of fish in the air is very strong.

It would be a good base for fish processing.

As far as the eye can see, the coast is basically a large community, a community of wild pineapple trees, tall and short, waving strips of leathery leaves in the sea breeze, and some still bearing golden fruits, similar to small pineapples.

It was edible, and the wood of the tree was soft, making it suitable for making a stopper.

After the crowd had walked through the sandy area, they had landed on the shore.

The coast here is covered with red soil, but the entire island is mostly red soil, weathered by red coral reef limestone.

The topography of the entire island is cut into four plots by two straight trenches, presenting a terraced landform.

Most of the ground on these four terraces is covered with sandy laterite, and unfortunately the island has no natural rivers, so it is mainly drought-tolerant shrubs that survive.

There are dwarf shrubs near and far.

Suddenly, a sailor shouted: "Wan Gangshou, someone has been here!" ”

Wanshida stopped looking around and walked over.

Sure enough, on a flat ground, he saw traces of human activity, and several piles of burnt black ashes on the ground.

Some of the ashes also have unburned wood, which was burned from wild pineapple trees!

Sure enough, someone has been here for a long time......

Wanshida looked around again, and then looked at the not too tall mountain bag in the distance, and felt that this place was quite flat, and the development difficulty was not great at all, but there was a lack of water.

However, he believed that the groundwater level in this plane would be much higher than that of the world, and that would be the best.

Wanshida and the sailors began to walk around the beach, looking for struvite stones.

He had told the sailors beforehand that struvite was mostly grayish-white, and unlike stone, it was light, easily broken, and grayish-black...... At that time, a sailor suddenly realized and said: "Ah, it turns out that Wan Gang is looking for this thing, and he has often seen it on the island, and it is usually a few feet high, and occasionally you can see a few zhang high!" ”

Wanshida was delighted and said, "Can you still find those islands?" ”

"Of course, I remember the sea route......

Wanshida was relieved at that time, as long as such ordinary sailors could find out, then it would not be a problem to use it on a large scale in the future.

Due to various reasons, this small stream must not be as large as the area of the other world, and it will not take much time to walk around the island.

When they came to a place where the coastal reef was particularly dense, a large group of seagulls suddenly startled, and they flew into the sky together, circling, and for a time the sky and the sun were obscured!

Everyone couldn't help but bend down at this time, and when those seabirds flew up, their flapping wings seemed to be able to whip people's faces!

After a while, a young sailor quickly climbed to the highest reef.

He looked ahead, and immediately turned around and shouted, "Wan Gangshou, could it be those things!" ”

Everyone climbed up with all their hands and feet.

Wanshida saw that it was a small bay, less than one square kilometer, and the reefs on both sides stretched into the sea, like two arms, holding this sea in his arms.

The large and small reefs were covered with a large area of grayish-white, mottled bird droppings, even reaching into the bushes on the shore.

That's it.

Wanshida was standing at the top of the reef, and it was easy to light a match in the sea breeze and suck some of it.

The other sailors, however, were attracted by the eggs in the bushes, laughing and picking them up.

There are eggs in today's food.

The small stream of this time and space is still a place without mosquitoes.

Wanshida felt that this might be a better haven than the place it had previously chosen to land.

Every summer and autumn, it is the main route of typhoons, so it is especially necessary to protect it from the wind.

It is very windproof, otherwise it would not be the main habitat for migratory birds.

It takes thousands of years of accumulation to form struvite, but if you want to develop and utilize them, you may be exhausted in a few years.

But don't worry, the resources of the whole world are waiting to be developed.

Or, Zhang Guoan's choice really has their reasons...... But it is a bit unacceptable for people to choose to abandon that world.

It's best now, on both sides, and on both hands.

Wanshida asked the four sailors to go back and row the boat over first, and take a look to see if it was suitable for a natural shelter.

He led the two remaining sailors over the rocky piles on the shore and continued on his way, seeing the whole island anyway.

Next, they didn't have any surprises to discover, ordinary coral islands anymore.

In the evening, the three of them returned, and the island was now uninhabited, and at most it provided shore rest for those who came to fish.

By this time, the medium-sized sea-going vessel had entered the bay, and the measurements showed that it was indeed better than the place where it had landed at the beginning.

Sailors have already built bonfires on the shore, iron pots hanging from the shelves, steaming hot, and the smell of seafood in sauce is in the air.

The captain was very happy today, he only discovered this good place under the guidance of Wan Gangtou.

Fish, everywhere is.

It's just the best fish that are worth more.

He bowed down and asked Wan Gang to give this bay a name, and suggested: "Why don't you call it Wan's Bay?" After all, it was Wan Gang who led the villain to ......"

Wan Shida thought for a moment and said, "If this place can provide peace for the boats that come to fish, then it will be of greatest use, I think, let's call it Ping'an Bay!" ”

The captain laughed, and so did the sailors.

Everyone will settle accounts, a pickled mullet can be sold for 60 yuan, if it is put in a living water tank and brought to Lin'an City, a mullet with seeds can be sold for a consistent price! Not to mention taking seeds and drying them on this island......

How many mullets can there be in the fishing grounds around this island? Countless!

Wan Shida said, "You don't want that big lobster?" ”

The captain said, "Prawn male? I have eaten it, and it is also delicious, but the people of Lin'an City think that it is hateful and do not like to eat it......"

Wanshida can only hehe about this, then the crabs you eat are beautiful? Wait for it, and tomorrow I will let you catch one for me, and I will teach you to eat it.

Everyone was talking and laughing, the sea breeze was blowing, and the sound of the waves crashing against the reef had become the background music of this world, and the breath was non-stop.

The seafood in the iron pot is ready to be stewed.

Bonfires are whirring and flames are dancing in the sea breeze.

The fire shone on people's faces, flickering and dimming, and everyone seemed to be waiting for dinner.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty seem to like sauce stew in everything, and they bring more sauce than salt.

Suddenly, a water finger pointed at Wanshida's back and shouted, "Is that a ghost fire?" ”

Everyone looked together and saw dozens of fluorescent spots on a pile of reefs exposed on the surface of the sea...... It was the end of February, and there was no moon in the sky, but the stars were shining brightly to provide some light for the night.

But it's still not clear what the fluorescence is.

The captain smiled and said, "You are still too young, I think that when you were in the South China Sea, there were many objects that could emit light in the sea......

Wanshida remembered that in the original world, this place was also rich in "luminous snails", which are shellacean mollusks, which can reach up to 2 kilograms in large.

Its flesh is fresh and tender, and its shell glows at night, hence the name "luminous snail".

Local women also grind glow-in-the-dark snail shells into various ornaments.

Wan Shida smiled at this time and said: "It is the most delicious luminous snail in the sea, I heard that every night, climb to the reef on the surface of the sea, absorb the essence of the stars and moon, its meat is delicious and unusually ......."

Oh, that's it!

The young sailor jumped to his feet and said, "Go and get some and drink them for everyone." ”

Then a few more jumped up and said, "Go together, go together!" ”

A few people went down on the beach, stripped naked, and went into the sea naked!

Wan Shida wanted to stop it, after all, there was some danger in going to sea at night, but when he saw that the captain of the other ship didn't speak, forget it.

The captain said, "Wan Gangshou, the person who went to sea, if he can't even do this little thing, how can he live until now?" ”

Wanshida can only nod, this is a society that is naturally eliminated, especially at sea.

But there is still a shortage of manpower......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"But there's still a shortage of manpower......

At the same time, next to the bonfire by the estuary, Wu Dapeng also sighed deeply.

He will also set off tomorrow to the Penghu Islands, where there is still a group of people.

In fact, the Great Song Dynasty had sent troops to Penghu to patrol during the Gandao years.

In the Song Dynasty document "Wang Gong Xingzhuang", it is recorded that in 1171, that is, the seventh year of the main road, Wang Dayou was the county guard of Quanzhou, and there were tens of thousands of acres of sandbanks on the sea at that time, called "Pinghu".

From time to time, the Vishes invaded and cut off all the crops that the people had planted.

Later, in order to protect the interests of the local people, Wang Dayou built 200 houses in Pinghu and sent soldiers and civilians to garrison them.

The "Pinghu" mentioned here is Penghu.

At this time, there were already many residents of Penghu, who had settled there, and were already engaged in the cultivation of grain and cash crops.

However, what is more noteworthy is that at this time, Penghu has been under the jurisdiction of Fujian ** County.

Wu Dapeng is going there tomorrow to recruit people, and it is best to recruit all the garrisons there.

When this plan was drawn up, there was some debate that it was an important place for coastal defense, and it would be difficult to mobilize it without going through the government.

Wu Dapeng said that it is better to ask Jia Pingzhang and Jia to come out and give it a try, I don't believe that people at this time have any awareness of coastal defense.

Sure enough, at that time, after Jia Pingzhang Jia Rudao figured out that it was Pinghu, he immediately agreed to him, waiting to give an order to the person in charge of the sea control......

Everyone finally understood that in this era, there was no awareness of coastal defense, because the main enemy was still on land.

They themselves speculated that the natives of this plane still lived in the mountains upstream of various rivers, because they might not be able to deal with the dense vegetation downstream, and arson was also a technical task.

After all, the upstream is drier, and the plants are scarcer.
