"Haha, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the smoke is curling, the people are outstanding and the sky is long, this place is really good." Xie Lingyun's first words when he set foot on the land of Taipei County were so poetic.

Xu Yanzhi, as the Taishou, after a few days of training, his demeanor was already graceful, and he stepped forward with a smile and said: "Taipei County Taishou Xu Yanzhi greets the son of the Xie family!" After speaking, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he looked carefully at this talented nephew in Xie Yu's mouth.

Similarly, Xie Lingyun also looked at Xu Yanzhi, who was called a great talent by his uncle.

The two looked at each other for a long time and couldn't help laughing.

"I have long heard my uncle say that Lord Taishou is young and talented, and today I see that this wild place already has a look, which is really admirable." Xie Lingyun arched his hand and said.

Xu Yanzhi's personality is not as familiar as the other party, as Xie Yu's subordinate, when his nephew comes, he is like a master, of course, the premise is that he can't mess around, this point, he is not so worried, after all, Xie Yu can send this generous nephew, undoubtedly he is mentally prepared.

Xie Lingyun is so smart, seeing that the other party is pondering, he knows that he has scruples, and said with a smile: "Lord Taishou don't have to worry, Lingyun is here to teach the people to be rational and literate, and he will definitely not interfere in the affairs of the county." ”

Xu Yan saw that the other party spoke openly, and those thoughts in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he said, "I don't know what the general's order is?" ”

Xie Lingyun looked at the children behind him who were running around all over the valley and said, "Start a college!" ”

"Start a college? There are no books in the county, how can you start it? Xu Yanzhi regretted a little when he said this, since the other party could say it, he must have been prepared, and secretly said that he was a little anxious.

Xie Lingyun looked at his expression, but he didn't mind and said: "Taipei County was founded, everything has been new, my uncle said, this academy, regardless of the family, regardless of family background, can be studied by both men and women before the age of fourteen." ”

Xu Yan's eyes widened, his mind turned around in an instant, and he couldn't help but rejoice: "Good idea, it's just that letting a woman study, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do." Saying this sentence is undoubtedly a strange thought of men's respect.

"If it's not easy to do, I hope to work together with Lord Taishou to put this Taipei County in order!"

Xu Yanzhi nodded and said, "Definitely." After speaking, he began to introduce the situation in the county to this newcomer of the Xie family.

At present, there are more than 53,000 households in Taipei County, and there are as many as 10,000 hectares of fertile land that have been reclaimed, and each ordinary person has an average of five acres of land.

Taoyuan Yancheng every five days for the salt cycle, a cycle can produce thousands of stones of salt, the coast built a number of bird boats, these days to go to the sea to Yan and Wei, of course, the name is a small overseas country, send soldiers, are loyal and brave.

The salt factory opened a road with Taipei County, and a simple stone town was built in the middle of the road, which was used to separate the road between the county and the salt field, and ordinary idle people were not allowed to pass.

Li Tie's fleet around the island spent 15 days walking around, drawing a simple map, as expected, to the south, found a lot of Han people, Xu Yanzhi and Ma Wenbiao, Yang Baimu after consultation, sent 3,000 soldiers, gathered Han people.

The Bone and Tooth Department has completely agreed with their joint plan, sent the women and children down the mountain, built a settlement for the Fan people alone, taught them how to produce, how to farm, how to fish, life is definitely easier than in the mountains, but there is no discord for a while, this is entirely thanks to Xie Yu's deployment in advance, the Fan and Han are shallow and deep, and the two clans are divided separately and slowly merge.

It sounds very simple, the hardships can be imagined, more than 200,000 people and 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers, if there are no excellent means, it really can't be managed, just like Yu Rongyu's old man, Xu Yanzhi appointed him a subordinate officer, and he directly made a mess under the rule of the mud and mud.

Xu Yan is purely a salute before the soldiers, and he personally went to say it several times, but he didn't see any effect, yes! dismissed Yu Rong from his official position, and appointed a Qu Chang who was not afraid of heaven and earth in the army, which was really a chicken, a dog, and a dog jumping, which convinced the aborigines of the Han people, and it was really three days without playing the house and revealing the tiles.

Thousands of acres of fields are vast, some industrious people have planted vegetables in it, apparently in the process of logging found the green vegetables sown at this time, one person began to plant, ten thousand people followed suit, the endless field began to turn green, but also added a little joy.

Xie Lingyun was happy to hear this, grinning happily, and the two of them walked through the streets and alleys of the wide wooden house village, full of happy people, weaving fishing nets, doing carpentry work, orderly thatched houses everywhere, and people scrambling to take "fertilizer" to the fields, everything seemed much better than on land.

Let's talk about it, then come to the Taishou Mansion, build several brick kilns on the mountain cliff, burn day and night, strictly order not to open the mountain to take soil, just level the land and pile up the soil is enough to burn for a while, in the palace, the brick floor has been paved, it looks like it, more majestic.

Entering the inner hall of the mansion, Xie Lingyun sat on a new-style chair and drank cold boiled water, and said with a smile: "Lord Taishou"

Xu Yan shook his hand and said, "We are about the same age, call me Zhongyuan!" ”

Xie Lingyun smiled and said, "Brother Zhongyuan, this academy will be built in two days, and it will be selected by the Tamsui River!" ”

"What is the name of the academy?"

"Taipei Academy, this is taken by my uncle, it's really not a bit literary, hahaha!" Xie Lingyun said teasingly.

Xu Yanzhi began to like the style of this young master of the Xie family, thought about it and said: "Everything depends on the general's wishes, and I will find a craftsman tomorrow." ”

Xie Lingyun nodded, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the other party: "This is what my uncle confessed when he left, saying that there is a kind of thing on this island, shaped like a stick, let Brother Zhong Yuan collect it, there is a method of planting and what sweet sugar to boil, and it can be transported to the south of the salt field for 10,000 people, and 5,000 soldiers can be sent to guard it." ”

This thing shaped like a stick is sugarcane, although the consumption of sugar is not as large as salt, but as a product that is not available at the moment, if planted in large quantities, it can not only enrich the lives of the people, but also the bagasse is also fed to wild boars, wild sheep feed, killing two birds with one stone.

Xu Yan came over directly to take a look, and said with a smile: "I saw this thing a few days ago, it tastes very sweet, and in a few days I will open up land in the south of the salt field." ”

"By the way, what's going on with Fanren?" Xie Lingyun opened his mouth and said, looking curious.

"Judging from the news obtained so far, there are more than 100,000 people in the mountains, distributed in the mountains, the tribe customs are fierce, they have fought for fun, and they feed on the things of the mountains and wilderness, and the arrows they carry are only simple, but they are all quenched with poison, and now they have contacted the bones and teeth in the mountains, and they are familiar with the situation in the mountains, and when they return from the first salt trip north, they can attack and fight." Xu Yanzhi introduced.

"I heard my uncle say that these people are cruel and difficult to tame, if you drive them down the mountain too much at once, I'm afraid there will be chaos!" Xie Lingyun didn't understand the situation, but out of curiosity, he asked.

Xu Yanzhi introduced the habits and customs of the Fanren, especially when he talked about the belt made of the head of the heirs of the other tribe, he smacked his tongue again and again, but the more he listened, the more excited he became, and he smiled at this Tai Shou, and secretly said that this young master of the Xie family is a wonderful person.

Thousands of people have been added to the island, especially the arrival of these children, it is really a lot of fun, under Xie Lingyun's suggestion, boys and girls under the age of ten who cannot live on their own can be adopted and adopted, for a while, there was a long queue in front of the Taishou Mansion, and after the people have registered, these children have a home.

The construction of Taipei Academy also broke ground on the third day next to the Tamsui River, and the whole county was full of laughter and laughter every day, which was really a paradise on earth and a beautiful world.
