Cai Jing stood at the stern of the boat, looking back at Su Shi and other friends on the dock still waving to him, which made him feel sour in his heart, a few tears were blown down by the sea breeze, especially when he saw the bustling Guangzhou Port slowly disappearing in his sight, which made him even more sad, and he couldn't help crying on the boat.

Some of the servants next to him saw the appearance of their own master, and they were all sad, and at the same time secretly scolded the Lu Huiqing in the capital in their hearts is not a thing, their own master is doing a good job as the governor of Guangzhou, but he was framed by the other party, and was almost dismissed because of this, fortunately he got the help of His Royal Highness the King of Yue, so he finally kept his official body, but he was transferred away from the bustling Guangzhou, and instead had to hang Luzon overseas to take up his post, not to mention how far Luzon is from the Great Song Dynasty, just hearing that there are a lot of cannibalistic natives there is enough to be scary.

Cai Jing stood at the bow of the boat and shed tears for a while, and finally wiped himself clean and turned back to the cabin, closed the door and wanted to be quiet, but as soon as he sat down, he sighed again, and his heart was uncomfortable and a little lucky, the uncomfortable thing was that he finally lost his official position in Guangzhou Zhizhou, but fortunately he was pleaded with Zhao Yan to intercede, so he was demoted when he was supposed to be dismissed, and he was demoted to Qiongzhou is already the most serious punishment for Song officials, but he is even worse, he was demoted to Luzon farther away to be an official, Although it is also Zhizhou, you must know that there are only more than 200,000 Han people in Luzon, and the rest are all barbaric natives, and the situation is worse than that of Qiongzhou, so being an official there is even more uncomfortable than cutting off your head.

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness has promised me that as long as I can stay in Luzon for a few years and develop the port on the Luzon side, I will be transferred back in the future, it seems that the hardships of the past few years have been settled!" Cai Jing suddenly muttered to himself at this time, but at the end of the sentence, his eyes suddenly became fierce and said again, "Lu Huiqing." This time, thanks to you, let me go overseas, and you must not fall into my hands in the future, otherwise you will look good! ”

When Cai Jing said the last words, he also had a gritted teeth expression, but he knew it himself. His own words are just talking, and now he has gone to Luzon to be an official, but Lu Huiqing is a favored minister by the emperor's side, as long as there is no accident, there is definitely a chance to ascend to the phase, so he can only talk. It's just that Cai Jing forgot one day, that is, the world is impermanent, and no one dares to say that anything is absolutely impossible.

But soon Cai Jing had no intention of cursing Lu Huiqing anymore, because he suddenly found that he had a problem with his body. To be exact, it should be called seasickness, he has been on a boat before, but it is all boats in the river, and the boats are relatively balanced, but it is the first time to go to sea, and he didn't expect the ship at sea to be so bumpy, and as a result, he felt a burst of sour water in his stomach, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit. Not to mention how uncomfortable it feels.

After a while, Cai Jing finally couldn't help but run to the deck, lie on the side of the ship, and spit out. The servants who went to Luzon with him immediately ran back and forth to serve when they saw it, but although the servants served, they could not replace Cai Jing with seasickness, and as a result, Cai Jing was miserable, vomiting for several days, almost eating and vomiting. In the end, half of his life was gone, fortunately, Cai Jing was relatively young and in good health, and finally survived, but at this time, Cai Jing hated Lu Huiqing even more. If it weren't for the other party, why would you suffer such a sin?

After half a month of sailing, Cai Jing's ship finally came to Luzon, and stopped at Banana Bay, here is the first stronghold of the Great Song Dynasty in Luzon, after two years of development, Banana Bay stronghold has developed into a small town, a considerable part of the Han people who come to Luzon live here, it is said that the number of Han people here has reached forty or fifty thousand, but the administrative institutions here are very weak, so the exact number of population has not been counted, but it must be the first big city of the Great Song Dynasty in Luzon.

After Cai Jing's ship entered Banana Bay, he saw at a glance those dense residential areas on the coast, as well as the relatively prosperous port, which was much stronger than Cai Jing imagined, which also made him finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least on the surface, it seems that the place where he works is not bad, and it can also be called a county in the Great Song Dynasty.

Speaking of immigrants from the Great Song Dynasty to Luzon, the stronghold here in Luzon is also developing rapidly, although it is very hot here, but the natural conditions are also very superior, now there are many immigrants on the island who have found a variety of mineral deposits, especially gold and copper mines, and the Great Song Dynasty is relatively lax in the management of mineral deposits, allowing private mining, especially in Luzon here and far away from the Great Song Dynasty, so the management is even more lax, even if it is a gold mine, as long as a part of the gold produced is handed over every year, The rest of the gold is privately owned, so the discovery of a deposit here is almost an overnight success.

In addition to mineral deposits, the land of Luzon is also rich in all kinds of animal skins and valuable wood, in addition to spices and other things, coupled with the hot climate and fertile land, making it very suitable for growing rice, so even if the immigrants here do not go to mining, honest farming can also have a good income, after all, the land here is not valuable, as long as you go to the local government to report, and then pay some money to get a large piece of land, whatever you do on the land, of course, you have to pay taxes every year.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that although the population of Luzon is not much, but the economic development is very rapid, but it has been in a state of military control, and the main officials are the soldiers who stay behind with the evil ghosts, but the evil ghosts are okay to fight, and let them manage the administration of a place but they are all crazy, fortunately, there are clerks and other small officials in the army, temporarily replacing them to take on the local administration, but these people are also not professional officials, so the administration of Luzon has always been a little chaotic, Especially when I filed the tax file last year, the taxes handed in and the accounts did not match, but fortunately, the taxes were more than the numbers on the accounts, and Zhao Yan also measured them, so he didn't blame them, but sent someone to recount them.

The development of Luzon is so fast, it is naturally impossible to be under military control all the time, so at the beginning of this year, Zhao Yan went to the imperial court and asked for a state in Luzon, and Zhao Yan quickly approved it, and the imperial court was also preparing to select officials to go to Luzon.

Although the area of Luzon is large, the place occupied by the Great Song Dynasty is still relatively small, although the population has reached more than 200,000, but it is scattered in various strongholds and is sparsely populated, so Luzon only established a Luzon Prefecture, and there are five subordinate counties, and the officials such as the magistrate and the chief Bo of the five counties are still on the way, and Cai Jing is the first official to arrive here.

The port here in Banana Bay is naturally called Banana Port, and the town is also called Banana City, Cai Jing also felt a little headache when he heard this name for the first time, and felt that this name was too level.

Banana City is the largest city in the Great Song Dynasty immigration stronghold, and it is also the main garrison of the Great Song Dynasty Water Division, which is responsible for this water division is the evil ghost, Cai Jing knew this before, but this also made him more worried, because he almost forced the evil ghost and the fish girl to rebel before, although it was a reconciliation afterwards, but the evil ghost and the fish girl did not have a good face every time they saw him, and the thought of working with the evil ghost this time, Cai Jing felt a headache.

Sure enough, he had already informed the garrison in Banana City before he came, and it was said that the other party should send someone to greet him anyway, but when Cai Jing's ship stopped at the dock, he didn't see the greeting figure at all, which made him sigh in his heart, it seems that it is not easy to gain a foothold here, just a demon is a big trouble.

However, it was just right that no one greeted him, Cai Jing was not in a hurry to enter the city, but let the housekeeper who brought him be responsible for moving things, and he took a few servants to go around the port, intending to learn about the situation in Banana City, after all, he didn't come here to mess around, but planned to govern Banana City in a good way, so that he could show his talents, and also make Zhao Yan pay more attention to himself, maybe he could transfer himself back to the Great Song Dynasty a few years in advance.

Cai Jing walked and observed on the wharf, and when he met some Han immigrants, he would smile and come forward to talk a few words, others saw that although he was young, he was extraordinary, and he brought a few servants, and he knew that he was not an ordinary person at a glance, so he answered his questions one by one, which made Cai Jing understand a lot of local conditions.

Banana Harbor is the largest city in Luzon, not only because this is the first stronghold established by the sailors, but because the conditions here are indeed unique, first of all, this is an excellent natural port, the two peninsulas hold the entire port in their arms, so that it is difficult for the wind and waves outside to affect here, and the water depth is enough, so as long as the ships between the Great Song and Luzon will dock here.

In addition, a lot of mineral deposits have been found in the northeast of Banana Port, including gold and copper mines, and a large iron mine and coal mine, which has attracted a large number of people to open mines, and it is not far from several native kingdoms, and those native kingdoms are also willing to transport goods here to trade with the Han people, plus the fertile land here, which is very suitable for growing various crops, and even the grain here has reached self-sufficiency, so many excellent conditions naturally add up to create this relatively prosperous port city.

It's just that although the economic situation here is good, Cai Jing has also found a lot of problems, such as the chaotic administration here, the small officials who collect taxes at the port actually ask for bribes, and the security in the city is also very poor, and there are often things that hurt people or even kill people because of money, which needs to be vigorously rectified, which is also the main reason why Cai Jing came here.
