Two days later, the fleet came to the southernmost bay, where the water is very dark, and it is indeed related to the Kuroshio, and it is also a large natural harbor, which is similar to Kunnan Bay, the water on the shore is very deep, and there is no reef, so the fleet can dock directly.

Fanning did not get off the boat, but stood on the boat and looked into the distance, a gentle mountain range, covered with dense coniferous forests, and near the shore was a large flat meadow, about twenty miles deep, with lush meadows and fertile land, which was very suitable for building a city.

Fan Ning found a Dutou surnamed Zhang, and smiled at him: "This is less than 100 miles away from Kunzhou, I want to build a garrison here, understand the winter situation here, you can lead fifty soldiers to defend here for more than half a year, and return to Kunzhou after the beginning of spring next year, I will reward each of you with a bear skin and fifty taels of silver, and you will be promoted to commander next year, how about it?" This quest can be continued! ”

Zhang Dutou knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Obey the order!" ”

Fan Ning was overjoyed, rewarded the head of the capital and the fifty soldiers who volunteered to stay, allocated them a batch of tents and food supplies, and gave them a detailed explanation of the tasks, and everything was arranged, and the fleet left overseas and sailed towards Kunzhou.

Fanning left 50 soldiers on Sakhalin not only to understand the winter situation, but more importantly, a symbolic meaning, and the stationing of troops on Sakhalin Island was equivalent to an oath of territorial sovereignty over Sakhalin for the Great Song Dynasty.

On the big ship, Fanning wrote a new name on the map of Sakhalin: Northern Kunzhou.

．．．．．．

On the one hand, the local people from all over the island have rushed to Kunzhou, willing to become the people of the Great Song Dynasty and migrate to live on the Kunnan Peninsula.

In mid-August, the native chieftains of Sakhalin Island came to Kunzhou by canoe and officially declared that they would submit to the Great Song Dynasty and become the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and Sakhalin Island was also renamed Northern Kunzhou and included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

But after entering mid-to-late August, an unexpected disaster struck Kunzhou, and the war horses that were grazing in Kunzhou fell ill one after another, and more than 600 war horses died in just ten days, casting a shadow on the Song army.

At the beginning of September, Fanning's big ship arrived in Kunnan Bay, a month ago, the supply fleet sent an edict from the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven summoned Fanning to return to China to report on his work, Zhao Zongshi and Di Qing continued to stay in Kunzhou, September was the last chance to return to China, Fanning and Di Qing will return to the Great Song Dynasty with the September fleet.

When Fanning arrived at Kunnan Bay, he was confronted by a fleet of ships that had returned from Japan, bringing 100,000 koku of rice, 3,000 sheep and 500 cattle, as well as a large amount of wine and other daily necessities.

When Fanning got off the ship, he saw a group of young women dressed in bewitching clothes gathering together and whispering, this is the newly recruited fifty ship prostitutes, plus the previous recruitment of two hundred and fifty people, the number of Japanese ship prostitutes on the island has reached 300, they will live on the island for three years, greatly comforting the Song soldiers who are far away from their homes and relatives.

The county seat of Kunnan Bay has been built, the Song army burned earth for bricks, and built a city with a circumference of twelve miles, in the Central Plains, a city of this scale can only be regarded as the smallest county seat, but it is a feat in Kunzhou.

"Aning, let's go and see first!"

Without waiting for Fan Ning to agree, Mingren, Mingli, and Zhu Lin ran into the county seat.

Fan Ning glared at them angrily, and said to Xu Qing: "Look at these guys, it's like burning their butts, can't they go together?" ”

Xu Qing said with a smile: "These three guys are estimated to have gone to Qinglou, and they are afraid that you will scold, so they will go first." ”

Fan Ning was stunned and asked with a surprised face, "You said they went to the Qinglou?" ”

"It's normal! They were there last month, don't you know? ”

Fan Ning shook his head blankly, he has been very busy in the past few months, he can't take care of Mingren and Mingli, they are also having fun, I didn't expect them to come here to visit the Qinglou.

Xu Qing said with a smile: "They are almost twenty years old, it is the time when the blood is strong, in the capital, in Fuzhou, they are not missing, you don't care about them." ”

Fan Ning took a sip stupidly, and then squinted at Xu Qing and said, "You can go if you want, I don't care about you." ”

Xu Qing smiled dumbly, shook his head and said: "I practice children's skills, I can't touch women, I understand the kindness of petty officials." ”

When Fan Ning heard that Xu Qing was practicing Tongzi Gong, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Originally, I wanted to match you with Jian Meizi, but it seems that there is no hope." ”

"Match me and Jian Meizi?" Xu Qing was dumbfounded.

Fanning laughed and walked briskly towards the city.

Above the city gate is engraved the word 'Tang County', which is still Fan Ning's suggestion, with the dynasty of the Central Plains as the name of the county, in the future Kunzhou will build four county seats, the state capital is called Han County, the other two county seats will be Qin County and Sui County, the first county seat that has just been built is called Tang County.

Walking into the city, the southern part of the city is empty, and only two streets have been built, the north and south main streets are called Jinyang Street, and the east and west streets are called Guangling Street.

In addition to the official office of the overseas economic envoy located on the north side of Jinyang Street, there is also a military camp that occupies the northeast corner of the county seat, in which 3,000 soldiers are stationed.

At the same time, there is a huge warehouse in the northwest corner of the city, where grain and various strategic materials are stored.

In addition, a dozen large wooden houses, most of them brothels, were built at the intersection of the two main streets, as well as two restaurants and a grocery store.

They were keen on business opportunities, and realized that it was profitable to go north, so they followed the official ship north in June, and at the same time they brought a dozen young girls who knew a little Chinese to work as bartenders, and opened two restaurants and a grocery store in Tang County.

Fanning came to the grocery store, which occupies a large area, with a flag with the words 'Wu Ji Grocery Store' written on it, and the shop is full of all kinds of items, from rouge powder for women to swords, and all kinds of daily necessities, almost everything, and most of them are actually goods from the Song Dynasty.

The one who sat in the grocery store was a woman in her thirties, she looked good, greased and powdered, and looked more charming, she was a female shopkeeper, and her husband had gone to Nagasaki with the ship to buy goods before, and he had just returned.

There were many customers in the store, and the female shopkeeper couldn't leave, so she shouted at two young Japanese ladies from time to time to get the goods quickly.

These merchants are well versed in the way of doing business, and they know that the army and craftsmen here are all men, and there are basically no women, so they recruit men who are Japanese girls who know a little Chinese, and attract soldiers to come and talk when they have nothing to do, and business is naturally very good.

Especially this female shopkeeper, with a bold personality and charming dress, is deeply loved by the soldiers, so she came to laugh with her when she had nothing to do.

Fan Ning saw that several Kun men were choosing daggers, so he smiled and asked the female shopkeeper, "Do they have the money to pay the bill?" ”

The female shopkeeper saw that Fan Ning's official uniform was quite high-level, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly laughed: "They have money, they just sold a few pairs of antlers and fox furs to me, and they have plenty of money in their hands!" ”

"You also collect leather goods here?"

"Of course I accept it, otherwise the Kun people will have the money to buy my things!"

"What else do they have to sell besides leather goods?"

"There are also a lot of good things, such as ambergris, coral, sea pearls, and all kinds of precious conch, such as luminous snails, nautilus, tabby shells, conchs, etc., which were very valuable in the Song Dynasty."

Fanning nodded and said with a smile: "Do you have any beautiful shells here, I'll buy some and bring them back." ”

"Yes! Wait a minute. ”

The female shopkeeper bargained with several Kun tribesmen, Fanning found that although she sold it more expensive, but there was no lion big mouth, the price was quite reasonable, a good dagger was sold in the Song Dynasty for about five hundred yuan, this female shopkeeper offered five taels of silver, bargaining, about four silver can be bought, and in Nagasaki Port, it was sold for two taels of silver, which is equivalent to the Kun people exchanging a good fox skin for this dagger.

Of course, a good fox skin was sold for at least a few dozen yuan in the Song Dynasty, and it was worth ten taels of silver in Japan, one in and one out, and this is how the profit of the grocery store came from.

Several Kun people were satisfied with the dagger and went to the tavern to drink, they have always lived a self-sufficient, and there is no point in having silver, so they come to Tang County to buy swords and drink, and when they go back, they will buy some daily necessities for the women in the family, and the money will be spent almost as much, as for the brothel, they are not very interested.

The female shopkeeper immediately took out more than a dozen beautiful shell snails for Fan Ning to choose, Fan Ning bought a few glow-in-the-dark snails and nautilus, at this time, he suddenly saw a huge clams in the corner, and immediately asked in surprise: "How do you sell that clams?" ”

The female shopkeeper smiled: "That King Bei is six feet long, the body inside has died, I don't know how many years, a few days ago a Kun people carried me to change a knife, I don't know what to do, bring back to the Great Song Dynasty and occupy too much space, if the official wants, ten taels of silver to take away!" ”

Fanning immediately took out a tael of gold and bought this huge clam, he looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was a jade clam, which made him secretly happy, and he asked the soldier to borrow a wheelbarrow and send it to the official office.

"What did the petty officials do when they bought such big shells?" Xu Qing asked puzzled.

"This kind of king is called clams, and it is generally only produced in tropical areas, such as the Nanyang side, and the Kunzhou side will not have it, so I suspect that this clams are left by the former peninsula natives, and they were brought by their ancestors when they came from the Nanyang to place food and prevent it from being soaked in water.

If so, this clam is at least two or three thousand years old, and it is just right for me to give it as a gift to my grandfather Juppé, who likes to collect all kinds of strange stones, and this clam is just right for him. ”

Xu Qing smiled happily: "Then I have to prepare a gift for the seventh girl!" ”

"Of course I won't forget her gift, otherwise she wouldn't spare me!"

Fanning patted a brocade box in his pocket and said with a smile: "I have already prepared a gift for her!" ”
