But Li Xing is unwilling to do this, although because of the limitations of the times, the Great Yan he established will definitely be a feudal regime, but Li Xing is not willing to let these big clans completely control the place in vain, Li Xing's goal is that the future Great Yan Kingdom will at least have the imperial power to be able to manage most of the villages, and the management of so many places will require more talents, so cultivating enough talents and establishing a perfect talent training mechanism is also as important as making money.

As for what to say about building an army, we have to wait until Li Xing has a firm foothold in Taiwan, and there are not even many people under his rule, so what else can we talk about building an army?

Now that you have a goal, then you need to figure out your own family background and then think about how to implement it, after some investigation, Li Xing found that Murong Bo's family background left to Murong Fu is really rich, the mainstream currency of the Song Dynasty is not the silver tael but the copper coin as a universal coin, and as the main unit of measurement is Guan, which has always been about 1,000 yuan.

The Murong family's inns, cloth villages, granges, etc. all over the south of the Yangtze River can have an annual income of more than 200,000 yuan. You don't think it's too little, you must know that the annual income of the Great Song Dynasty is only more than 16 million yuan, and the annual expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty's millions of troops is less than 30% of it, and the Murong family can have such an income every year is already one of the few big families in Jiangnan.

Under Li Xing's strict order, soon the craftsmen had been found, and after some tossing according to Li Xing's idea, the distilled high-grade liquor soon began to be sold in various parts of the Jiangnan under the operation of the Murong family, and quickly became famous.

With the help of the Murong family's position in Jiangnan, the technology of distilling liquor was finally preserved, but Li Xing considered it. It has also introduced a part of the modern business mechanism, handing over the responsibilities of distributors to local tycoons. In this way, they all have money to make, and the Murong family is not easy to mess with. They all honestly started a distilled liquor business with Li Xing.

The Murong family has such an additional source of wealth, plus Li Xing cut some of the previous unnecessary expenses, plus the accumulation of dozens of generations of the Murong family, Li Xing also has enough money to recruit craftsmen to build sea ships, and at the same time send personnel to explore the way in Taiwan first, draw sea charts, and find suitable immigration points.

At the same time, the Murong family also enrolled thousands of orphans, and screened the remaining 1,500 people. Then they invited literate children to teach them literacy, and then taught them the basic internal skills, and then taught other things when they had their grades.

Li Xing's actions naturally aroused the opposition of many elders of the Murong family, and the four ministers were very loyal, and they also thought it was feasible after knowing Li Xing's general plan, so they also fully supported it, and Li Xing also took the opportunity to remove some moths within the family, and gradually grasped the power of the Murong family.

After two years of preparation, Li Xing drew a suitable nautical chart to Taiwan and a map of several suitable places along the coast of Taiwan. Soon, the first batch of 8,000 people had already established a stronghold near Taipei Harbor in the later generations, and among these 8,000 people, in addition to farmers and various craftsmen, there were also 1,000 members of the Murong family.

During the Song Dynasty, it was already the norm for local tyrants to raise their families at home. It's like the crown cover in the Water Margin, but the landlord in a village, there are already more than ten Zhuang Ding in the family. A shout can summon hundreds of villagers. A small landlord in a village is still like this, and the Murong family is a wealthy family in Jiangnan who is bent on rebellion. There are 3,000 elite family members in the family, and one-third of them are directly transferred this time precisely because of Taiwan's importance.

After the arrival of the first people. The fleet built by the Murong family at no expense continuously transported food, medicine, farm tools, clothing and other materials to the stronghold, and with the support of these materials, the Murong family's first stronghold in Taiwan was quickly established.

In this stronghold, Li Xing reorganized the entire political power according to the modern part of the system combined with the actual situation of the Song Dynasty, and also deliberately established the enlightenment school and the craftsman school, which improved the status of the craftsman, and at the same time passed on the basic internal strength, as long as the qualified people can learn the basic internal strength.

Next, Li Xing spent six years expanding his stronghold in Taipei to the entire plain, and at the same time established towns in Taichung Port, Keelung Port, Kaohsiung Port and other port locations, and those Tu people who originally wanted to be unfavorable to the Murong family's stronghold, except for the young women who were captured and sold to those who needed marriage, all the young and strong were reduced to slaves, and they did heavy work such as opening mountains and building roads, building ports, etc.

Now Taiwan's population has expanded to more than 700,000 people after more than five years of immigration and development at any cost, and food, cloth and other materials have been self-sufficient, and a large amount of cane sugar and sea salt are sold to the Central Plains, obtaining a large number of materials and population, forming a virtuous circle, and there is no need for the Murong family to continue to transfuse blood.

"It seems that it is not easy to open up the wasteland, I still have the support of the mainland from all sides, it is still so difficult, no wonder that after Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties hundreds of years later, after more than 20 years of development, his son Zhengjing could not take the opportunity to hit the Qing Dynasty heavily when the rebellion of the three feudatories, but consumed a lot of family funds accumulated for many years." Li Xing sighed: "It seems that it is not appropriate to revolt directly, we can only wait for the Liao State to invade the south, and that time is the best time!" ”

It's just that although I think so in my heart, although the southern invasion of Liao has appeared in the plot, there are still Jurchens behind Liao who are pulling back, and it is hard to say what will happen, Li Xing can't be idle during this time, and he still needs to expand his strength quickly, otherwise his strength will be insufficient at that time, and he will naturally not be able to complete the founding of the country.

"But now the plot is about to start in a few months, I can't stay in Taiwan longer, it's better to go back to Swallow Dock quickly!" Li Xing muttered softly to himself.

Over the years, in order to make sure that Taiwan is under his control, Li Xing has stayed in Taiwan for nearly half of the time, and even if he leaves, he will leave one of the three people, Ji Saluo and Xiaoyao, in order to be able to completely control the situation in Taiwan.

Because it was Ji Shaluo's turn to be in Taiwan this year, Li Xing took Xiao Yao and Yanzi back to Yanziwu, and Li Xing did not put down his practice for more than seven years, or after nearly eight years of practice, Li Xing's strength has changed dramatically from before. (To be continued.) )
