In this era, there were no trains, starting from Qidi Dengzhou, along the seaside for more than two months, Li Jie's army crossed half of China and arrived in Fujian.

Not to mention the later generations, even the Song Dynasty, Fujian is a prosperous place, when the Mongols invaded, even Fuzhou also briefly became the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty for two hundred years, here also played the role of a tax heavy, supporting one-third of the Song Dynasty's financial income, but at this time, this is definitely a wild land, the loud title of the land of Fujian has no shadow, a huge province of later generations but Fuzhou, the administrative unit of the two states of Jianzhou.

This is also where the Fujian title comes from.

Even the place names of this era are different, originally going straight to Fuzhou, the center of Fujian, Li Jie was led to the seaside, looking at the small city in front of him, Li Jie was quite a little crying and laughing.

"Is this clearly Quanzhou?"

Even if there is a psychological preparation for the desolation of Fujian, when it really arrives at the place, the newly established Fujian King Tielin and his soldiers still feel disappointed, a small city by the sea is not much bigger than Jinzhou Port, and it is even more depressed and desolate, there are only one or two restaurants and shops in the whole city, and there is no shop, and even the shadows of pedestrians on the street are sparse.

It is no wonder that since the Han Dynasty, after the surrender and internal relocation of the Minyue Kingdom as a whole, the Fujian land has been empty for almost 200 years, and it was not until the end of the Han Dynasty that there were successive Central Plains scholars who fled the war and moved to their places, even after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the registered household registration was only 20,000 households, and the huge Fujian land was only a hundred thousand people under the control of the central power, and the rest were some slang people and other ethnic minorities, who did not obey Wang Hua and lived in the mountains, and even harassed the people of the Central Plains from time to time.

More than 100,000 people live in fertile land such as the Minjiang River and the Jinjiang River, and the population of Quanzhou City, which is currently called Fuzhou, is only 30,000 or 40,000, and it is not an exaggeration to look desolate.

The only thing that made these soldiers from the north feel comfortable was that on the seaside hill next to the city, a wooden military camp had been completed for a long time, and there were bathrooms in it to shower, and the military rations were also prepared.

"The order is that all the armies must take a good bath, and the lime brought from the north will be sprinkled in the barracks immediately to sterilize, what is a fungus? Go back to elementary school books! ”

"At night, the battalions burn wormwood to repel mosquitoes, officers at all levels pay attention, so that the soldiers must drink boiled water, our army has just arrived in the south, the bacteria in the body are not adaptable, and it is very easy to become epidemic and cholera, but it is not grounded, go quickly!"

In Li Jie's impatient command, more than a dozen quartermasters went out dizzily, not only these quartermasters were dizzy, but Scar Liu was also quite surprised.

"Hey, this isn't Xiao Wang, why did you get to Fujian?"

"Why is that so wrong?" Waiting in the Chinese army, listening to Scar Liu's strange scream, Wang Wei couldn't help but have his head jumping, and shouted speechlessly: "His Royal Highness King Shuo, no, in reality, His Royal Highness the King of Min has already ordered this official to come here to fight and prepare, why can't I be here!" ”

"Hahaha, Lao Liu, it's been a long time since I've seen you and you're still so hot!"

Listening to the voice and not talking about Scar Liu, Li Jie, who was busy in a hurry, couldn't help but leave things and stood up in surprise, opened the curtain, and a pair of young men and women who came in from outside, not Qin Huaiyang and Li Xueyan and his wife, who had not been seen for many days.

"Brother Qin, didn't you travel to Tibet? How did you end up here? ”

"Brother Shuo, you still said that you came up with a broken idea, Tubo has been fighting hard every year, crossing the sacred mountain to the south to attack Tianzhu, and going to see the chaos of the soldiers and horses, where is the mood to travel?"

I haven't seen him for such a long time, but Li Xueyan is still so hot, and her angry fingers point at Li Jie's forehead, which makes Li Jie sweat, and glances at Qin Huaiyang depressedly, but unfortunately, Qin Huaiyang is obviously also a strict wife, secretly shrugged his shoulders, and gave Li Jie a helpless look.

Fortunately, Qin Qing came in coldly outside the kung fu door, and when she saw Li Xueyan, she was also surprised and exhaled: "Sister Xueyan!" ”

"Hmph, this conscienceless little brother of King Shuo actually brought you to this wild place and told my sister, did he bully you?" is very familiar, Li Xueyan turned around and put on Qin Qing's shoulder again, this bullying has a lot of meanings, especially Qin Qing's girl was taken by Li Jie, she is the most rotten girl, and her face suddenly turned red.

"Sister Snow Goose, what are you talking nonsense? You and Brother Qin got married, and he didn't bully you? ”

"He dares!" Li Xueyan roared with horizontal eyebrows and waist, poor Qin Huaiyang shuddered again, Li Jie, who saw it, almost didn't break his belly with laughter, and Qin Qing exclaimed with surprise on his face: "No, Sister Xueyan, you and Brother Qin have been married for so long, and you haven't even had a room?" ”

"Of course there is, yes! Little Nizi, dare to choreograph my sister! See if I don't tear your mouth! Without a big grin, Li Xueyan reacted, and also made a big red face, looking back, where is Qin Qing's shadow, the angry big sister roared, and chased after her as soon as she turned around.

The fierce female animal was finally gone, Li Jie, who was a cousin, and Qin Huaiyang, who was her husband, were relieved at the same time, and shook their heads with a wry smile.

"Alas, Brother Qin, you can't do it, I want Lao Liu to marry a wife, beat me eight times a day, see if she dares to stab!"

A typical after-the-fact hero, as soon as Li Xueyan left, the big horn of Scar Liu screamed again, Qin Huaiyang, who listened, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and retorted speechlessly: "Brother Liu, if you think like this, you will never be able to marry a wife, learn from Brother Sheng, how good it is to be so steady, by the way, Brother Sheng?" ”

"He ......"

This time, there was silence for a while, and after a while, Li Jie sighed and said, "Lao Sheng died in Liaodong and couldn't come back." ”

Not only Qin Huaiyang lowered his head silently, Wang Wei stared at him in disbelief, in the past, when he was messing around in Chang'an, he, a dog-headed military advisor, stayed with Sheng Wenjian Scar Liu and others, and his feelings were the deepest, and after sighing for a while, Li Jiecai waved his hand to break the sullenness.

"Okay, okay, the deceased is gone, what should be done now is how to gain a foothold in Fujian, let's get comfort in the spirit of Lao Sheng in the sky, Lao Wang, Lone Ke let you come to visit Xin'er, what is the situation?"

Listening to Li Jie's question, Wang Wei pulled his face to the elder, helplessly took out the sorted out information book from his pocket and handed it over, and said with a sad face: "This Fujian is not easy to stay!" ”

I took the small book with some surprise, but after opening it, Li Jie's brows couldn't help frowning, don't look at the few people in Fujian, the problem is really tricky!

Although the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, the strength of the control of the feudal dynasty often decreases with the distance from the capital, especially in the southern part of the empire, the entire Lingnan Province is almost a policy of restraint, handed over to the Yue Guogong, General Zuo Xiaowei, and the Lingnan governor Feng Ang managed, Fujian belongs to the Lingnan Road, for the slang people in the caves and the barbarians, the prestige of the Lingnan Feng family here is even higher than that of the Son of Heaven.

This is not counting, among the Han people registered, many of them are big families who moved south, especially with Lin, Huang, Chen, Zheng, Zhan, Qiu, He, Hu eight surnames as the biggest, Fujian has been free from the central rule for hundreds of years, the immigrants come and go in their own system, generally to Fuzhou Thorn Shi Chen Cheng, Jianzhou Thorn Shi Huda as the head, each family surname is attached to the left and right self-contained system.

"So, this king, the governor of Fujian, and the Fujian observer envoy can also be ranked third?" After reading the actual situation record for a long time, Li Jie himself was also staring, and stretched out his hand to hand the situation to Wang Xuance, who was silently watching for a long time, and then said depressedly, who knows that with a bitter face, Wang Wei shook his head helplessly.

"I'm afraid Your Highness, you can't even rank third, since you got the news that Your Highness is about to enter Fujian, your subordinates have played the signboard of the King of Fujian more than ten days in advance, but there is also a Putian County Order Zheng Rong to come to visit in advance, in addition to Fu, Quan, and more than ten counties in the three prefectures of Fujian, no one came to visit."

"I'm afraid that these families have made up their minds to put your Highness in the air!"

"Alas, this is only a population of more than 100,000 people, and there is still such intrigue." Li Jie's brows couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and he sat back on the chair with a deep groan, there is a way that the lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the scar Liu saw Li Jie frowning, and immediately pulled out the knife with a thud, and shouted: "Damn, dare to think carefully about our Highness, Lao Liu will cut down the surname Hu and the surname Chen." ”

"Stop!"

Without waiting for Scar Liu to rush out, Wang Xuance behind him had already shouted helplessly: "This is the Tang Dynasty, Fujian, it's not so casual as the Goguryeo occupation area, who you want to kill and kill whom, these times are also inextricably linked with the Central Plains family, you are so reckless, aren't you making trouble for our Highness?" Now that the foothold is not stable, and if we encounter the impeachment of the imperial history, our Royal Highness will be very passive! ”

"No, no!" Without waiting for Wang Xuance to finish reprimanding, Li Jie suddenly stood up with a smile and waved his hand, and said with a wicked smile: "This time, it's rare for Lao Liu to come up with a good idea." ”

"Look, His Royal Highness said that Lao Liu is right!" immediately laughed at the beard and mouth, and Scar Liu's smug was about to fly.

"Your Highness, no!" Not only did Wang Xuance immediately arch his hand and admonish, Qin Huaiyang and Wang Wei also looked over worriedly, but unfortunately Li Jie waved his hand indifferently.

"Don't worry, although we are unlucky to be here, after all, we have great achievements on the battlefield of Liaodong, even if there is a royal history to attack us, this king has enough tongue to bite back and slander the heroes!"

Quite obscenely, he looked at the group of girls who were making trouble outside, especially Hou Xianniang, and the corners of Li Jie's mouth sinisterly provoked.

"Besides, even if we do the same as the people's soldiers, these soft bones who are used to clinging to the local big families still ignore us, it is better to show their muscles now, and let people know that everyone has a big fist."

"Wang Wei, go and bring that Zheng Rong from Putian County, I want to find him to make a fortune."

"Lao Liu, you take your brothers to prepare to go out to rob, let's also be a devil and catch a strong man!"

In Li Jie's arrogant laughter, he was confused, and Wang Wei still had to go out.
