Chapter 31 Examination of the base for new immigrants

With the rise of a city on Ryukyu Island, almost all the maritime merchants who heard the news rushed there by boat, hoping to see the true face of this island city. But the real intention of these businessmen is more to make some profits.

Not to mention that this is a new seaside city established by the Song people, the fact that Zhao Xiaoxi is the leader of the Skeleton Pirate Group alone is worth celebrating with these merchants. In particular, many merchants know that there are shops for sale in this new city.

In the future, the goods going to the Great Song Dynasty and overseas states will be transferred there. As long as the merchants negotiate business on the island, even if they make deliveries from time to time and pay a certain amount of freight, the fleet of New South City will deliver them to their doors.

This kind of benefit that has never been heard of naturally makes these shrewd businessmen see business opportunities. Everyone knows that if the business in the future can really be done like that, the risk of their maritime business can be regarded as a complete transfer to the pirate group.

Although there is a certain amount of money to pay, everyone knows that this kind of business is safer. If you can make peace of mind, who would risk the shipwreck and do this kind of business that may not necessarily succeed?

Nowadays, maritime businessmen do business, and many times it is like gambling. If you can go smoothly to the destination and meet a reasonable businessman, you will naturally be able to make a lot of money. But once it fails, it is often the end of losing both people and money.

With the successive entry of these maritime merchants, the recently renovated inns in New South City are almost full. Even if Zhao Xiaoxi finally ordered to clean up the inns in the old town, he still couldn't resist the vendors who came in batches.

From this level of liveliness, it can also be seen that in these years, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are still very shrewd. They knew even better than the imperial court the benefits of having such a city. The rents of those shops are also rising now.

I thought that Zhao Xiaoxi would definitely not be able to sell out of so many shops. Now I finally know. These 3,000 shops, in addition to the city lord's mansion for their own use, there are also those that have been promised to be reserved for Dali, and almost all of them want to lease them.

The reason why merchants dare to want to lease merchants is very simple. Rather than traveling to the land of Banbang, goods were transported from the inland to the Ryukyus. More secure and faster money.

Everyone knows that some things in the Great Song Dynasty are sold to overseas countries, and the price is much higher than that of the Great Song Dynasty. If you can reach an exchange business with Fanbang from here, it will also be a very profitable business.

The completion of the new city this time, as well as Cho Hyo-seok's upcoming wedding. Zhao Xiaoxi sent people to send invitations to the royal families of Fanbang countries. Of course, the indigenous tribes that have not yet formed a state rule. There's no need to send any stickers.

Maybe it's because the prestige of the Skeleton Pirate Group is too great, even if some small countries know that this is a pirate group. But they know more or less that because of the existence of this pirate group in recent years, more and more Great Song cargo ships have arrived in their country.

Relying on the goods sent by the Great Song Dynasty, these small countries have also benefited a lot. Everyone understands that compared to the output of their own country, the goods from the Celestial Empire. It was very prevalent in the aristocratic circles of their country.

If they can reach a cooperation with Zhao Xiaoxi this time, their domestic businessmen. If you want to sell goods. You can also sell goods to any country through the Ryukyu Island, and you will be able to make more money.

With this understanding, each country sent a caravan with a relatively high status to the Ryukyu Island to celebrate the completion of the new castle. In addition, of course, it is indispensable, to this prince who controls the sea outside the Great Song Dynasty. Give a wedding gift.

With this rare liveliness of the open sea, many people also began to know that it was on the opposite side of Fuzhou Road. There is a city built by the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, there are 100,000 Great Song people living there, and each of them has endless land.

Such rumors. Along with this incident, it continued to spread to the common people and villages along the coast. Some young people and people who really couldn't live happily also began to think about whether to find a way to go to the island, hoping to find a way to live.

After receiving the news from the pirate group's pick-up station, Zhao Xiaoxi summoned the officials of the six ministries. Asked them how to settle these immigrants, the new southern city, I think it is difficult to settle the more and more people who are gathering.

Hearing Zhao Xiaoxi's inquiry, Yan Lu, the head of the household department, said: "Lord Wang, the lower officials feel that since these people. If you are willing to take the initiative to move here, it means that we in Xinnancheng still have the hearts of the people.

Since the prince does not want to settle new immigrants in Xinnan City for the time being, then we can find another base nearby that can accommodate the people, and send people over to build some facilities first, and build a new base just like building here.

As long as people move over one after another, Xia Guan feels that within a year, he is afraid that the number of people on our island will not double again. For those new immigrants who come, the most we can do is to provide them with food, shelter and safety.

If you want to build such a large island, you can't do it without a population. The construction of the new southern city is about to be completed, and things here are almost in full swing. Even then, why not agree to the demands of these immigrants to come and live on the island? ”

Faced with Yan Lu's suggestion, Zhao Xiaoxi thought for a while and said, "Yun Cong, is there a suitable place to live near Xinnan City. In order to build a new base, it is necessary to be able to station the navy and build a dock for easy docking.

When it comes to relocating migrants, our military must be the first to build a place for them to live. Also check to see if it's safe nearby. Did you do any research on these things before choosing this place? ”

Li Yuncong heard Zhao Xiaoxi's inquiry, and quickly said: "Back to the prince, there is also a place where it is convenient for small boats to dock in the place where the half-day voyage is here. It's just that there, when we went earlier, there were some remnants of the early Tang Dynasty who lived.

Although these remnants were small in number, they also formed an inherent tribe. At that time, in order to enforce the discipline you prescribed, we did not choose there. According to our survey, the water sources and fields where the remnants live seem to be good. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxi said again: "How many people are there in those villages?" ”

Li Yuncong replied: "According to our inquiries at that time, there are three villages named after surnames. There are not many people in each village, and the total population should not exceed a thousand.

At that time, they were also in turmoil, so they had to flee to this island at the risk of death. I was fortunate enough to pick up a life, and it eventually continued to the current scale. They also rarely go to sea, and most of the time they stay in the village to support themselves.

We also saw that some people were fishing nearby, and we stopped them and asked them about it. At that time, we almost got into a fight with them when we went ashore. These three villages, which seem to be very united, are also somewhat reluctant to outsiders. ”

Regarding Li Yuncong's answer, Zhao Xiaoxi thought for a while and said: "That's it, then tomorrow at dawn, this king will go with you." If it is indeed suitable for the resettlement of people, then it should be designated as a base for new immigrants.

From the time we took possession of this island, this island belonged to this king. Regardless of whether he is a remnant of that dynasty, he should obey the king's orders when he arrives here. The remnants who dare to resist, this king will also let them know the benefits of the sword. ”

With Zhao Xiaoxi's answer, Li Yuncong didn't say anything more. As for Yan Lu and others, they also know that where there are remnants of the Han nationality, it must also be a suitable place for survival. Sticking to self-containment will only make these remnants unable to develop in the end.

Although they stay on this island, they are self-sufficient in fishing and farming. But if they stay like this year after year, what difference will they have from the natives living on the islands? Obedience to the king is also a rule that the Han people should follow.

Since Zhao Xiaoxi established the new southern city here, he opened the government and established a ministry to educate the people. Then anyone who lives on the island must obey Cho Hyo-seok's indoctrination. For the people under the rule who dare to resist, there are their own rules to deal with them.

Knowing that Zhao Xiaoxi was going to travel, Duan Zhengchun and others, who were a little bored on the island, also decided to go out together. Although there is no need for food and clothing in this city, the new southern city has become more and more lively day by day, but after all, the place is so big.

Now that they can go to this island, another new place, they are naturally interested. Faced with the request of these girls, Zhao Xiaoxi naturally did not refuse and agreed to their request to go together.

The next day, after breakfast, the navy, ready to go, began to set sail. After half a day's journey along the island, everyone saw a large natural beach.

Li Yuncong, who had been on this island, quickly ordered the navy to lower the sails, and at the same time put the small boats hanging next to the big ships on the surface of the sea one by one. Some of the navy soldiers armed with swords also began to step on the rope ladder and go down.

The main reason why the big ship does not go up is that it is afraid of shallowness. Changing to a small boat makes it easier for everyone to go ashore smoothly. And the big ships all stopped at a deeper surface, waiting for the return of the people who came ashore.

Although it is troublesome to get on and off the boat, most of these girls have some martial arts. Wang Yuyan, the only one who doesn't know martial arts, was finally directly said by Li Qingluo: "Xiaoxi, Yuyan's safety will be handed over to you." ”

Listening to Li Qingluo's words, Duan Zhengchun didn't say anything, and directly got off the boat with a few red faces. The other girls also giggled, looking at Wang Yuyan, who looked shy, and was finally hugged by Zhao Xiaoxi, and got off the boat like carrying goods.

After standing still, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say much, and directly waved his hand and ordered the army to go ashore. Nearly 100 boats loaded with navy began to advance towards the beach over there, and the scene still looked very spectacular.

It wasn't until the first boat landed successfully that their own soldiers went into the water to tow the boat to shore. By the time everyone had come ashore, many of the sailants' pants were wet. But Zhao Xiaoxi and his party were all towed directly to the beach.

After assembling on the beach, Zhao Xiaoxi immediately asked Li Yuncong, who had been here, to lead the way and walk to the places where the remnants lived. The navy with these swords and guns in hand followed, and I believe that those remnants did not dare to make any resistance.

If these remnants really think that when they get to this island, they will be able to disobey the king. Then Zhao Xiaoxi will let them know that from now on, Ryukyu Island will also need to obey the royal rule of the Great Song Dynasty! (To be continued......)
