Qi Rong returned home and immediately went to see the family elders. Facing a group of gloomy old guys, Qi Rong's attitude looked more obedient than Qi Ye's.

After listening to Qi Rong's account of the meeting and the results, the leader of the elders, who was Qi Rong's father, asked, "Is what Zhao Jiaren said credible?" ”

"I think it's credible." Qi Rong replied with low eyebrows.

"In that case, send all the tenants who have been seized this year." The elders gave the answer.

"Yes." Qi Rong responded, and his heart began to worry. It was not uncommon for the Great Song Dynasty to seize tenants, but it was not so easy to mobilize those tenants. Those who have the courage to go out and wander out, who still stay at home and work as sharecroppers?

"You go down first." Qi Rong's father said.

Waiting for Qi Rong to leave, Qi Rong's father turned his head and said to the other elder: "Erlang, you go and talk to Qi Ye, don't let him make a child's temper again." At that time, we said that we would remove him from the family tree, but it was just angry words, and at that time he left immediately, so as not to make us more and more angry, this is filial piety. Now that the page has been turned, it's time to think about what will follow. The children of the San Lang, Shiro, and Goro families are smart and clever, and since Qi Ye has a way outside, he has to open the way for the family! ”

Qi Ye's father is the second in his generation, and the eldest is a brother of the same father and mother. For the arrogance of these people against Qi Ye before, of course he was unhappy for his son. But now that things have come to this, it is indeed necessary for Qi Ye to start contributing to the family.

"I'll go talk to him. But ......"

Hearing Qi Ye's father say this, Qi Rong's father immediately said: "Wulang, you send your son and Erlang to go together and make compensation to Qi Ye." ”

So in the afternoon of the same day, Qi Ye was called home by his father. I thought that I might encounter a scolding, but I didn't expect that my father would also set a table of dishes, which made Qi Ye very happy in his heart. Waiting for his fifth uncle's son to apologize for his father, Qi Ye was still a little indignant in his heart, but on the whole, he was no longer angry.

The fifth uncle's son was very knowledgeable and left after apologizing. The father and son talked about the matter of clearing the wasteland, and Qi Ye introduced the situation of Jeju Island a little, and the old man was really surprised. "Zhao Zhizhou is so capable, so close to Goryeo and Mongolia, isn't he afraid?"

"What are you afraid of, the naval armies of Goryeo and Mongolia are not good. Besides, this time we have to recruit as many people as possible to Jeju Island, and we have to build a lot of businesses there. Qi Ye explained.

"Over there...... Do you have an official status? Qi Ye's father asked.

Qi Ye fell silent.

"Gorou, since you follow Zhao Zhizhou, I think you still want to ask for an official body. Our Qi family is rich, but there are no officials. That's not expensive enough! Qi Ye's father said seriously.

In the Great Song Dynasty, it was one thing whether officials had the ability to fight the rich landlords, and when they became officials, they were public people, and the officials (excluding officials) completely ignored the landlords in terms of status. After the Pu family was exterminated for colluding with the Mongols to plot a rebellion, the whole family did not cause a special shock, because the officials had no reason to deal with the Quanzhou governor for the sake of the Pu family.

If Qi Ye can have an official body, even if it is a county order instead of a county, it will mean a huge change in identity. Qi Ye knew this, but after all, he was in his thirties, and he knew the hard work of those 'rogue officials' from other places. Let him leave his rich life and desperately become an official, Qi Ye really can't be interested. He replied: "At my age, I don't want to be an official, and it's good to follow Brother Zhao." But if I have the chance, I will definitely take care of my family. ”

Seeing that his son was so responsible for the family, Qi Ye's father felt quite relieved.

October passed day by day, and in the second half of the year, people from the state first appeared in Quanzhou City, and they came to the location of Rentong Express with the identification documents written by the local government. These were peasants who had been taken away and came in search of a new owner. Zhao Jiaren welcomed these people very much, and the government proved that these people were good people, and then signed a contract with Zhao Jiaren. After the registration was made, these people began to ship to Jeju Island one by one.

Hu Yuelian, who came with the tenant farmers, met the current 'owner' Liu Meng on the pier of Jeju Island, and saw a large pot set up near the pier, exuding the fragrance of rice porridge. Liu Meng had a sincere smile on his face and led his subordinates to greet the tenant farmers. It didn't feel obvious on the boat, and after getting off the boat, Hu Yuelian felt a cool breeze and she shivered. Also by the sea, the seaside of Jeju Island feels dry and cool, at least nowhere near the humid heat of Quanzhou.

Seeing that the rice porridge was prepared, the tenant farmers' hearts were also warm. First let them divide into teams, and then give them food. However, the only dishes served here were rice porridge and pickles, and Hu Yuelian ate three bowls of porridge in a row before she felt hungry. Turning his head to look at the entourage behind him, the eight Japanese people were very accustomed to it. The faces of the people of Da Song are not very good-looking.

After settling down these people temporarily, Liu Meng invited Hu Yuelian and them to the fortress built by the port. The fortress was repaired with stones, the foundations were being dug, and many of the stone floors were pitted by explosives, and only a small section of the city wall was built. After entering the city, I saw that there were temporary tents everywhere, and one of them, which can probably be described as a half-tent and half-wooden house, is the current 'yamen'.

When I entered the yamen, I immediately smelled the fragrance. It was the smell of cooking fish and meat, and although three bowls of rice porridge were served, Hu Yuelian and the others immediately felt hungry again.

Liu Meng smiled: "I let you eat porridge because you just got off the boat and have a weak appetite." I'm also worried that you won't be able to adapt to the soil. We'll have a good meal in the evening. Miss Hu, are you here to help me this time? That's great! ”

"Brother Liu, I'm not here to help. I'm going to the Wa Kingdom. Hu Yuelian hurriedly replied.

Liu Meng's face showed a look of disappointment, "It turned out that I was going to the Wa Kingdom." ”

After arranging Hu Yuelian's entourage, Liu Meng invited Hu Yuelian to his office, "Why did the principal let you go to the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"The principal said that if we want to go to the north, we have to go from the west of the Wa Kingdom, and naturally we must occupy some islands in the west of the Wa Kingdom as supply points. Brother Liu, you should go and occupy those islands, and continue to occupy them. I went to the Japanese Kingdom to liaise with the high-ranking officials of the Japanese State, and in case of a conflict, it would be good for someone ......to speak," Hu Yuelian explained her actions.

Liu Meng listened and felt that his thinking really couldn't keep up with Zhao Jiaren. In Zhao Jiaren's plan, there is indeed a meaning of going north. But that was to go to the Liaodong Peninsula that Zhao Jiaren was referring to, and listening to Hu Yuelian's meaning, this would have to go further north. Liu Meng felt that Zhao Jiaren was too radical.

The two briefly introduced the situation, and Hu Yuelian told Liu Meng that all the slipways in Mawei Shipyard were full. At this time, Zhao Jiaren's fleet ranged from Jeju Island in the north to Cochin in the south, and the two ends were separated by thousands of miles. Relying only on the hundred and ten boats in Zhao Jiaren's hands now is like sprinkling a handful of salt in a pot.

"The headmaster has gone too far." Liu Meng couldn't help but sigh, and he could see that many affairs on this island made Liu Meng feel a lot of pressure.

"I didn't expect to be able to run so far with the principal." Hu Yuelian couldn't help but sigh, but there was a casualness in her sigh.

Feeling Liu Meng's pressure, Hu Yuelian asked, "Brother Liu, what are you going to do with so many people?" ”

"From tomorrow onwards, all their needs will have to be paid for by work. As you probably can see, we have a lot of work to do here. If they are willing to calm down and work, let alone eat enough, it is not difficult to make a small fortune. Liu Meng said that he was quite confident.
