Xue Hu and Xue Yan walked out of the cabin, and Han Yue retracted his thoughts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Uncle Xue, Wangjiadao has finally arrived." Han Yue smiled at Xue Hu and arched his hand.
"Shaoheng is a little homesick?" Xue Hu made fun of Han Yue for the first time, maybe it was because Han Yue's solicitation opened up his mood that had accumulated for many years, since he agreed to Han Yue's joining, Xue Hu had obviously changed a little, and the whole person was no longer that deep feeling, of course, most of the time he was still cautious and serious as before, especially in front of Xue Yan.
As soon as he saw Xue Yan standing aside with his head shutting his head, Han Yue knew that Fang Cai must have been taught a good lesson by Xue Hu in the cabin.
"Brother Xue is seasick?" Han Yue asked jokingly.
"Hmph, you're seasick." Xue Yan subconsciously retorted, but quickly glanced at Xue Hu, and immediately lowered his head like a defeated rooster.
In the cabin just now, Xue Hu's words were still echoing in his ears, I don't know why my uncle suddenly valued this gentleman so much, well, I must admit that there have been some changes since he woke up from a coma, especially the trip to Lushun was both exciting and refreshing, and after doing that big thing, it made me find an outlet for myself who was a little depressed in Wangjiadao, but if I really treated him more respectfully in the future as my uncle asked, I felt weird, not to mention that my sister's account had not been settled with him.
Seeing that Xue Yan was a little discouraged, Han Yue was amused in his heart, it was really one thing to one thing, and Xue Yan, who was usually arrogant and reckless, always had such a childly look of being wronged by his uncle Xue Hu.
"Uncle Xue, after landing on the shore, I will propose to Uncle Xu to transfer you to my team, Shaoheng is currently an official and has a weak reputation, so he can only first wronged Uncle Xue to temporarily serve as the deputy general officer, and when he makes contributions in the future, Shaoheng will definitely help Uncle Xue apply for a reward, and Brother Xue can temporarily serve as a flag officer."
"Really?" Without waiting for Xue Hu to reply, Xue Yan, who heard that he had become an official, immediately came to his senses, swept away the decadence just now, and looked at Han Yue with a glint in his eyes.
Han Yue was a little unfamiliar with the establishment of the border army in this era, but he had some understanding of the Qi family army that had been passed down through the ages, so after determining his plan to recruit 100 soldiers, he decided to follow the establishment of the Qi family army, 12 people for 1 team, 4 teams for 1 flag, and 2 flags for 1 bureau, he was ready to let Xue Hu and Xue Yan each lead 1 flag, and he was responsible for the general control.
In fact, he prefers to use the military establishment of later generations, but obviously the establishment of squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, and armies is a bit strange in this era.
"Of course it's true, it's more than enough to be a flag officer with Brother Xue's skills." Han Yue looked at Xue Yan appreciatively, except for his reckless temperament, Xue Yan had the potential to be a brave general in all aspects.
"I don't read much, you can't lie to me, otherwise..." Xue Hu raised his fist, both excited and threatening, for fear that Han Yue would regret it, but he forgot that Xue Hu was standing aside.
"Hugh is rude!" Xue Hu scolded loudly.
"Haha, Brother Xue is really temperamental." Han Yue relieved Xue Yan in a timely manner, and Xue Yan was so frightened by Xue Hu's drink that he immediately lowered his head, but he was obviously very happy in his heart with a grin.
"Shaoheng is going to ask the garrison lord to which island to station?" Xue Hu looked at Xue Yan and shook his head, then turned his head and asked Han Yue.
"Xiaowangjia Island or Shoulong Island are more suitable, but I still need Uncle Xue to accompany me to the island to investigate."
Xue Hu nodded, agreeing with Han Yue's arrangement.
"Uncle Xue, can you tell me about the current situation on Wangjia Island, I can't remember something in my head clearly after I fell into a coma this time." Han Yue really has some things that he can't remember, after all, it is the fusion of two souls, and the memories of the souls of later generations occupy the vast majority, and only those who are particularly impressed and close to him in this era have some memories.
Xue Hu knew that Han Yue's meaning was to ask him to analyze the current situation of all forces on Wangjia Island, he had no doubt about the amnesia that Han Yue said, after all, Han Yue was indeed two people since he woke up, and after he pondered for a while, he began to tell Han Yue about it.
"At present, the forces of Wangjiadao are mainly divided into three parts, Lord Xu, as the garrison of Wangjiadao, is the official of Zhengyin, commanding a thousand corps, counting about 450 people, which is the largest force on the island; followed by a thousand general team led by Wu Heng, a thousand general team, counting the family, about 320 people; There is also a thousand corps led by a thousand total money Dana, counting the family about 240 people; In addition, there are about 3,000 ordinary people on the island, and the specific number may have to be asked by the staff of the master of the garrison mansion. ”
Han Yue had vague memories of these when he was in the restaurant before, and Xu Zumin needless to say, Wu Heng was a somewhat sinister guy, and Qian Dana basically had no impression.
"What kind of character is this Qian Dana?"
"He's all kinds of rubbish." Xue Yan on the side hurriedly spoke, crooked his mouth with disdain.
"The island is generally divided into three different forces, the garrison is Chen Dashuai's cronies, Wu Heng is the person of Li Shi'an, the capital under Chen Dashuai, and Li Shi'an is rumored to have taken refuge in Liu Xingzhi, so when he was on the island, the garrison and Wu Heng were at odds with each other, and they were in their own camps, and they were safe and sound on weekdays. As for Qian Dana, he does not belong to any faction, and he is kind to everyone on weekdays, and I have never heard of his background. "Xue Hu knows the situation of Wangjiadao well.
"That Qian Dana doesn't understand military bullshit, and he does some money-making things on weekdays, and half of the shops on our island are opened by him." Xue Yan's tone was contemptuous.
Xue Hu glared at him, so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth.
"I don't know what the people on the island rely on to make a living on weekdays, I have the impression that there is very little arable land on our Wangjia Island, and the fertility is insufficient and the yield is not high."
Han Yue was tired of standing and sat directly on the steps at the bow of the boat, Xue Hu also sat cross-legged facing Han Yue, and Xue Yan sat down with a big grin, out of nowhere he found a small sawdust as a toothpick and held it in his mouth, and the bacon steamed rice at noon made him have endless aftertastes.
"The people on the island are basically fishing, boiling salt, working as domestic servants and helping in Wuheng's ironsmiths, and the rest are cultivating some barren land on the island and living on a meager harvest." Xue Hu recalled the hardships on the island, and felt a little sad in his heart.
It seems that the days on the island are indeed sad, fishing? Fishing techniques in this era were indeed limited, and small fishing boats could only operate inshore, so the harvest must not be ideal; The domestic servant is nothing more than working as a coolie in the homes of some officers and merchants on the island, and can only maintain a half-full; Not to mention farming, such a small island is not suitable for agriculture at all, not to mention the soil composition is also a big problem.
"Uncle Xue, can you help me introduce the boiling salt and Wu Heng's ironware workshop." Thinking of the future channels of making money, Han Yue was eager to know more useful information.
