Chapter 306: Suzaku Island
At dusk, a soldier blew the horn at the bow of the ship, and Akihito and Mingli reluctantly went ashore and boarded the ship with a heavy harvest.
The ship untied its rope and slowly left the temporary dock and continued its journey north.
The main hall of the cabin was particularly lively, everyone sat together for dinner, and this time going north, Fanning took Akihito Mingli and Jupei's master and servant, and dozens of soldiers.
The people of the Song Dynasty were already able to sit at a large table to eat, but in essence, it was still a separate meal system, each person took his own portion of the meal on a wooden plate, and all kinds of dishes were divided into small portions, put them in small plates, and took one for themselves if they liked.
The soldiers sat at several other large tables to eat and could drink a little light wine, Fanning sat at a large wooden table with Zhu Pei, Jian Meizi, Aya, and Akihito and Mingli, and as for Xu Qing, he sat with the soldiers, he was the head of martial arts that the soldiers greatly admired, and all the soldiers wanted to learn a trick or two from him.
Juppé sat next to Fanning, of course, she had always sat next to Fanning, but today was a little special, she and Fanning sat very close, the two were almost shoulder to shoulder, and naturally poured wine for Fanning, like a little housewife.
Akihito and Mingli were still immersed in the joy of gold panning, at this time, Akihito suddenly discovered the abnormality, Jupei and Fanning were sitting too close, their bodies were almost next to each other, his eyes suddenly widened, no! The two men had an adulterous affair.
He lightly kicked Mingli below, and quietly bowed to the other party, Mingli raised his head, looked at Fanning and Zhu Pei, and just saw Fanning pouring wine for Zhu Pei affectionately, Zhu Pei smiled, pinched the back of Fanning's hand, and openly flirted and scolded.
Mingli was stunned, what was going on?
Mingli was just about to open his mouth to laugh at the two of them, a small bone, 'Whoosh! The shot hit him in the forehead, and hit him with a burning pain in the head.
Only then did he realize that Jian Meizi was glaring at him viciously, he felt weak in his heart, and hurriedly kicked Akihito lightly, bowed his head to eat, Akihito also saw the murderous intent in Jian Meizi's eyes, and he also hurriedly lowered his head to drink soup.
The two lowered their heads and squeezed their eyebrows, and their fingers were written on the back of each other's hands, others couldn't understand their ghost drawings, but they themselves knew very well that this was a cheating skill they practiced when they were studying.
"When did they get together?"
"I don't know! Will it be morning? Together, they rode to the livestock base. ”
"It's possible that they were still a foot wide when they ate yesterday, and today they are only half an inch away."
"Did A-Ning take Jupe down?"
"I feel like, go back and report the good news to my aunt and get a big red envelope."
"And Old Man Zhu's side, if you don't knock down a thousand yuan, I'm sorry for this news!"
The more they wrote, the more proud they became, and they began to describe the situation of drinking joyful wine.
"You two!"
Fan Ning noticed the abnormality of the two at this time, and said with a smile: "Are you still excited about the matter of Jinsha?" ”
"I heard Xu Qing say, you have found a lot of gold sand, why don't you take it out for everyone to see?" Juppé added with a smile again.
Akihito smiled, wealth is not exposed, there are so many people eating in the lobby, how can he take out the gold.
"The golden sand is in the room! I've got one of the biggest gold sand here, and I'll show you. ”
Akihito took out a piece of gold sand the size of a broad bean from his bosom and handed it to Juppé.
Zhu Pei took the golden sand and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Aning, look at this golden sand, it's so big." ”
Fan Ning also took the gold sand and looked at it carefully, he smiled and said, "The purity is not bad, but this shouldn't be the biggest gold sand you have found, right?" ”
Mingli said with certainty: "We dare to swear to heaven that this is the greatest golden sand!" ”
Fanning threw the gold sand back to them, shook his head, and said, "With my understanding of the two of you, even if you are rich and rival the country, you will shout that you are too poor to eat all day long. ”
He smiled at Jupei: "You don't ask about the gold sand, you ask them to find the biggest gold nugget today, see how they answer?" ”
Akihito and Mingli blushed, and Mingli muttered in a low voice, "You only ask about Jinsha, and of course I will answer Jinsha." ”
Zhu Pei glared at them angrily, "You two, you actually play this kind of careful thinking with me, then okay, let's see!" ”
Akihito and Mingli immediately regretted it, offended Jupei, and they had a hard time in the future.
Akihito hurriedly explained: "Apei, it's not that we don't take it out, it's that there are too many people behind, and things like gold are easy to make people have evil thoughts, in case they ......."
Fanning smiled and said, "You give the gold sand in your hands to Jupei as an apology, and Jupei won't be angry." ”
Mingli was reluctant, but Mingren kicked him, and Mingli had to put the gold sand back on the table.
Fanning smiled and handed the gold sand to Jupei, "Don't be angry, if they are not careful, the two little lives will have been calculated a long time ago, and I will ask them to show you the gold nuggets when I go back." ”
With Fanning interceding, Ju Pei snorted and threw the gold sand to them again, "I thought I was really rare in your gold, I just looked at it and returned it to you!" ”
Mingli took the golden sand with a smile, he quietly took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Zhu Pei, "This is it." ”
Juppey opened the box, and inside it was a walnut-sized gold nugget, two or two weights, polished very smooth by the long-term stream.
"This one is not bad!"
Zhu Pei handed the box to Fanning and asked with a smile, "You also got it from the river?" ”
"I found it at the end!"
Akihito sighed abruptly, if they still had time, maybe they would have gained more.
Fanning was very interested in this piece of gold, and there was such a large nugget of gold, which showed that there must be a gold bonanza in the mountains upstream of this river.
........
The ships arrived at the Kunzhou Outer Islands in two days, which are the South Kuril Islands, which later became famous as the four northern islands, which are actually composed of dozens of large and small islands, the largest of which is more than 3,000 square kilometers, which is larger than Tanzhou.
Affected by the Kuroshio, there are many ice-free ports here, and there are many natural deep-water ports, which can directly dock Wanshi merchant ships, and the strategic value is extremely high, Fanning named a series of islands in the north as Kunbei Islands, and four of the large islands are named Xuanwu Island, Xuanwu Island, Suzaku Island and Xiongzhen Island.
This time, the land given to Zhu Yuanfeng by Zhao Zhen, the Son of Heaven, can be a piece of land in Kunzhou or an island, and the consensus reached by Fanning and Zhu Lin last time is that it is best to take an island.
Of course, there is also a limit on the area of the rewarded land, which cannot exceed a radius of 20 miles, which is probably not more than 300 square kilometers.
Fanning thought about it, and only Suzaku Island was the most suitable.
Suzaku Island, later known as Shikotan Island, covers an area of about 250 square kilometers and has two natural deep-water harbors, which are ice-free.
Fanning's ship arrived at Suzaku Island, and the group stood by the boat and looked at the island, which was surrounded by cliffs and no beaches, and the island was densely forested, and from a distance, the forest was inhabited by patches of white seabirds.
Perhaps due to the influence of the volcano, there are many bays on the island, and ships can almost sail in, and they can dock directly, but in Fanning's memory, Suzaku Island has only two winter-free harbors.
"Aning, you seem to be very interested in this island, why?" Juppe asked, puzzled.
Fan Ning smiled slightly, "In the future, this will be your third grandfather's island, and it can also be regarded as your Zhu family's island." ”
Jupe's eyes lit up, "Really? ”
Fanning nodded, "Your third grandfather asked me to choose a suitable island for him, and from the looks of it, only this is the best." ”
"Can you keep horses on the island?" Juppe asked again.
"I remember there's a meadow ahead of me, let's go over and have a look."
The boat traveled northeast along the island, and after about seven or eight miles, a field suddenly appeared.
This is not a flat grassland, but a hilly field, the terrain is undulating, sometimes high and sometimes low, the original craggy volcanic rocks have been weathered by thousands of years, all turned into volcanic soil, thick covered on the gentle hills.
Because there is no forest, it has become a hilly grassland about seven or eight miles wide and nearly thirty miles long, which is exactly the same as the grassland in the north of Kunzhou, but compared to the hilly grassland of hundreds of miles in the north of Kunzhou, it can only be a mini grassland.
"I don't think it's a problem to have 10,000 sheep and more than 1,000 horses, and there's a small ranch to the north, which is half of it."
"What about wintering?" Juppe asked worriedly.
"There is a harbor in the north and south of the island that does not freeze in winter, and there is no snow on the shore, especially the small pastures in the north, which are close to the ice-free harbor, where livestock sheds can be built for the winter."
Even Mingren and Mingli were deeply attracted, and they grabbed Fanning from left to right and said, "A-Ning, can we buy the island?" ”
Fan Ning put his arm around their shoulders and said with a smile: "How can our Fan family not have their own overseas land, you can rest assured, I have a long-term plan, one day, our children and grandchildren can also establish their own homes overseas." ”
