Volume 10 Northward Chapter 852 [Ryukyu]

Huang Jie was naturally surprised when he heard Lu Er speak like this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Then he also asked, "How does my uncle talk like this?" How is Ryukyu developing? ”

Lu Er didn't hide it, so he also slowly talked about the development of his father and son in the Ryukyus over the years.

This matter is said to be long, but it is also short, it is said that the Lu family father and son since the order to develop the Ryukyus, the first three years from Huangzhou, through Quanzhou and arrived in Penghu, the last three years from Penghu to the Ryukyus, in a coastal area to expand more than 3,000 acres of cooked land, and in the following years, there has been no development.

Then he also listened to Lu Erdao: "On Ryukyu Island, the land is barren, not to mention the mulberry hemp, even if you grow rice and corn, you don't harvest much, the island is full of miasma, even good people have to have cold and fever several times a year, even animals are difficult to live, the only advantage is that there are many trees, and the income and expenditure of these years are all obtained by boiling salt." ”

As he spoke, he got up with a smug face and pointed to the fast boat that docked at the ferry and said, "Oh! This time, the ship was carrying the finest sea salt from the Ryukyus! A full 8,000 stones! ”

I heard that the ship transported 8,000 stone of sea salt, which is a lot of money, but Huang Jie is full of black lines, his original intention of asking Lu Er and his son to develop Ryukyu back then was not to ask them to run to boil salt and sell it for money!

Huang Jie also came to ask: "I don't know how many people live on the island now, but a city has been built?" ”

Lu Erdao: "It's a shame to say that the island is full of calculations now, and there are less than 1,000 people...... At most, it broke 2,000, but because the miasma was too strong, dozens or even hundreds of people would die of illness a year, so now it is only these remaining centaurs. As for the city...... How can there be spare strength to build, just build a wooden village to prevent wild beasts and wild people. ”

Huang Jie was surprised when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked carefully, only then did he know that these horses left on the island now were all the prodigal sons that Lu Er recruited from Huanghuadang back then. The reason why the population on the island has not developed in recent years is that it is too bitter, and Lu Er has recruited coastal people to go to Ryukyu over the years, but the life on Ryukyu Island is too bitter compared to the mainland, so many people have retreated and retreated.

The second reason is that today's Ryukyu Island is still a raw place after all, and the so-called miasma is just a variety of epidemics, such as cold fever (malaria), rotten throat sha (scarlet fever), water Gu (schistosomiasis), etc., although Lu Er also found Lang Zhong, who specializes in the treatment of this kind of miasma, to go to the island together, but at this stage, there is no special medicine for this kind of tropical epidemic, and the cure rate of traditional Chinese medicine is even more pitiful.

Especially listening to Lu Er, over the years, the most dead people on the island are the high incidence of cold fever (malaria) in summer and autumn and the cold epidemic (epidemic cold) in spring and winter.

With these two roadblocks, if it weren't for Lu Er's hard work in boiling salt, so that the balance of income and expenditure on Ryukyu Island could be balanced, I am afraid that they would have retreated long ago.

Speaking of which, as far as Huang Jie knows from his strange dreams, the development of Ryukyu in later generations was also after the Meng Yuan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and a large number of Song people risked their lives to go to the island to survive, and after dozens of generations of reproduction, Ryukyu was developed into a familiar land. Before the Southern Song Dynasty, Ryukyu was suspended off the coast of Quanzhou, but no one from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Tang and Song dynasties went to develop it, and naturally there was a reason.

However, after saying that he was suffering and sick, Lu Er said that there was a third reason why the island could not develop, that is, the wild people on the island.

According to Lu Er's description, the savages on the island should still be in the stage of drinking blood, but these savages are strong and not afraid of epidemics, and they are even more vigorous in the mountains and jungles on the island. And these savages are also extremely xenophobic, after Lu Er and they went to the island, not only did they run for a long time to steal, but in recent years, they have formed a tribal alliance from time to time to loot and steal grain, although the combat power of the prodigal sons under Lu Er is also objective, and they can win every battle, but the farmers recruited to reclaim can't withstand the sneak attack of these savages.

Knowing this, Huang Jie couldn't help but suddenly lose his mind, and a strange dream called "Saidek Balai" flashed in his mind, and he also learned from this strange dream that the wild people on Ryukyu Island are so strong and really have a historical tradition.
