Leaving Bailongchuan, the big ship continued to travel east, and arrived at Vermilion Island two days later, Fan Ning originally wanted to inspect Whale State and Horse Farm, but he found that Zhu Yuanfeng's body had begun to be tired, considering that he was close to his sixtieth year, and it was not suitable to sail on the sea for a long time, so he canceled the inspection and only accompanied him to Suzaku Island, and then returned to Tang County as soon as possible.

"Grandfather, that's Suzaku Island!" Fanning pointed to an island about twenty miles away in the distance to Zhu Yuanfeng.

Zhu Yuanfeng seemed a little excited, owning a piece of land that completely belonged to him was an idea he had dreamed of for many years, which was not the same thing as buying a piece of land in the Great Song Dynasty and building a manor.

In fact, he is the king of this island, this is Zhu Yuanfeng's hidden thought in his heart, and when he sees this island at this time, this thought is irrepressible.

"Father, is this the island?" Zhu Jie felt her father's excitement, so she asked him in a low voice.

"This is the place where the Son of Heaven gave me this island, and there is no title deed, do you understand what this means?"

Fan Ning didn't speak next to him, he felt that Zhu Yuanfeng would be completely wrong, Zhu Yuanfeng thought that the Son of Heaven gave him this island, and this island would no longer be the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, this island is still the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but it has become private, and there is essentially no difference between buying a manor in the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, the imperial court encouraged private development overseas, and Zhu Yuanfeng's island would be tax-free for decades, and in terms of interests, it was indeed different from that of the Great Song Dynasty.

Fan Ning did not say anything about this cruel reality, and silently let Zhu Yuanfeng indulge in a satisfied fantasy.

When Fanning chose this island for Zhu Yuanfeng, the key was that there were two natural harbors, one south and one north, and the natural harbor in the south was affected by the Kuroshio Current, which was an ice-free port, which was an extremely valuable condition

The big ship slowly docks in a natural harbor in the south, the harbor is not big, like Kunnan Bay, the surrounding cape encloses the bay into a circle, forming a small bay covering an area of dozens of hectares, which can berth nearly 100 large ships, and the strong wind and waves outside can not affect the calm in the bay.

Although Fanning has passed through Suzaku Island many times, it is the first time to go to the island, and it is the hottest day of the year in the middle of summer and July, but Suzaku Island is breezy and unusually cool, and under the breeze, there is an endless green in front of you, which is refreshing.

The grass and environment on the island are basically the same as Kunzhou, in fact, this is also an island formed by a volcano, but there is no cone-shaped volcano on the island, the volcano should be on the largest Xuanwu Island, that is, the island of Zhuzhi in later generations, Suzaku Island is formed by the accumulation of magma, but after tens of millions of years of weathering, the surface layer has become a thick soil, the soil is very fertile, and it is full of all kinds of berries, making it a paradise for seabirds to breed and inhabit.

"This one is really big!" Zhu Yuanfeng sighed.

Of course it is very large, this island covers an area of 260 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a very large city, Fanning pointed to the hills that are not high in the distance and said with a smile: "The terrain of these islands is similar to that of Kunzhou, the middle is high and the surroundings are low, the coastal circle is flat, and livestock can be developed, and the south is close to the sea in winter, and the cattle and sheep can spend the winter in the south." ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanfeng suddenly remembered an extremely important question, and hurriedly asked: "A-Ning, is there fresh water on the island?" ”

"Absolutely! There was a river to the south and a river to the north, and I heard that there was a rather large lake in the center, so would my grandfather want to see it? ”

Zhu Yuanfeng was moved, turned back to his daughter Zhu Jie and said, "Ajie, I'll go to the center of the island to have a look, do you want to go together?" ”

Zhu Jie was a little afraid, she said with a sad face: "Daddy, I heard that there are poisonous snakes on the island, so I won't go." ”

Zhu Pei also wanted to go with her husband, but when she heard that there was a poisonous snake on the island, she was immediately startled, and hurriedly said: "I won't go either, I will go on the boat with my sister-in-law to rest!" ”

"Then you guys go on the boat, and Ah Ning and I will go and have a look."

Zhu Yuanfeng and Fan Ning urged their horses to the island, followed by more than a dozen cavalrymen.

In the middle of the island is a hilly area, covered by a large area of lush forest, dominated by red pine, precious amber wood can be seen everywhere, Zhu Yuanfeng was full of interest, pointed to the edge of the forest and smiled: "I have seen thousands of amber trees at the edge of the forest alone, give me this, the court will lose a lot." ”

Fan Ning smiled and said, "With so much amber wood put into the market, aren't you afraid that the Great Song Dynasty won't be able to digest it?" ”

Zhu Yuanfeng looked back at Fan Ning with a smile, "Then you are wrong, it takes thousands of amber wood to make a set of amber wood furniture in the mansion of the magnates, Zhang Yaozuo built a rosin pavilion with amber wood, you can imagine how much amber wood he used, with the financial resources of the Great Song Dynasty, how much amber wood you transport will be digested for you." ”

"If that's the case, the third grandfather is really rich!"

Zhu Yuanfeng raised his head and smiled, "Do you think I still care about this kind of small wealth?" It's just that I see so many abundant resources, and my heart is happy! ”

After saying that, he urged the horse to run forward, and Fanning smiled bitterly and urged the horse to follow.

Skirting the forest, they hurried their horses to a high ground, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and they saw a deep blue lake in front of them, a freshwater lake covering an area of thousands of acres, as calm as a mirror, and like a deep blue gem of incomparably pure.

Fan Ning and Zhu Yuanfeng's eyes seemed to be immersed in the lake water, and more than a dozen soldiers were also shocked by this spectacular lake water, for a while, no one spoke, for a long time, Zhu Yuanfeng sighed softly, "How good it would be if this lake water was in the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Yuanfeng's heart is full of regrets, he is afraid that he will rarely come again in the future, this beautiful lake makes his heart ache very nostalgic.

"Let's go check it out!" Zhu Yuanfeng urged the horse to run towards the lake.

Rushing closer to the crowd found that there were hundreds of deer drinking water by the lake, the sound of hurried horses' hooves disturbed them, the deer herd was so frightened that they fled in all directions, the soldiers opened their bows and arrows, Zhu Yuanfeng was so anxious that he shouted: "Don't shoot the deer, be merciful!" ”

The soldiers put away their bows and arrows and looked at Zhu Yuanfeng puzzled, Zhu Yuanfeng shook his head and said: "This is my first day of landing on the island, I don't want to leave a bloody trail of killing on the first day of landing, everyone, help!" ”

The soldiers were embarrassed to put away their bows and arrows, and at this time, Fanning shouted in the distance: "Grandfather, come and see!" ”

Zhu Yuanfeng urged the horse forward, only to see Fan Ning squatting in front of a stream, Zhu Yuanfeng turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and asked with a smile: "What did you find?" ”

Fanning stood up and spread his palms with a smile, "Grandfather, look at what this is?" ”

"Gold nuggets!" Zhu Yuanfeng's eyes widened, and he saw that Fan Ning had five or six soybean-sized gold grains on his palm.

"There's gold here too?"

Zhu Yuanfeng hurriedly took a closer look at this stream, which flowed down from the high hills and flowed into the lake, and there were at least 20 streams like this around the lake, which became the source of the lake's water.

Zhu Yuanfeng squatted down, looked at the creek carefully, and saw that the golden particles in the clear stream water were clearly visible, Zhu Yuanfeng was suddenly surprised and happy, and a little worried, the surprise was that there was also placer gold on his island, and the amount was expensive, and he was worried that the existence of these placer gold would make the court regret it and finally take back this kind of island.

"Would you like to see any more streams?" Fanning asked with a smile.

Zhu Yuanfeng shook his head, "It's not early, let's take a look at the ranch and go back!" ”

Everyone left the lake, and Zhu Yuanfeng took one last look at the lake that made him extremely intoxicated, sighed softly, and urged the horse to cross the high post.

There is a large grassland by the sea, overgrown with all kinds of weeds, and after walking for more than ten miles, Zhu Yuanfeng couldn't help but ask: "The grass here should be the same as Kunzhou, but it still feels different, what is the reason for this?" ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "The pasture in Kunzhou has been transformed, the year before last we scattered a large number of alfalfa seeds and vetch seeds, and prevented manpower from pulling out a lot of poisonous grasses, for more than two years in a row, the pasture is gradually different, in a few years, the pasture will be further optimized, most of the grassland is alfalfa and vetch, and the useless weeds over there will be slowly marginalized." ”

"I see, then I have to ask A-Ning to prepare more alfalfa seeds and vetch seeds for me, and the pasture on my side will also be transformed."

"That's no problem, when does grandfather plan to start sending people to the island?"

Zhu Yuanfeng thought for a while, "It's too late today, let's spring tomorrow!" After the beginning of spring, I will ask my grandson Alin to bring a group of people, and then I will hire some Japanese laborers from Kunzhou. ”

"These are all small things, it's not early, let's go back!"

As soon as Fan Ning finished speaking, he saw Jian Meizi galloping on a horse in the distance, as if something was wrong, Fan Ning hurriedly greeted him, "Sister Jian, what's wrong?" ”

"A soldier is coming to you, it seems that some important person is coming, you can go and see!"

Fanning was stunned, who could it be? He hurriedly urged his horse to run towards the harbor, only to see a small boat moored on the harbor, and some soldiers were anxiously looking this way.

Fanning ran in front of him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The soldier knelt down on one knee and reported, "Qiqi Zhizhou, the privy envoy Han Xianggong has arrived in Kunzhou, and he is currently waiting for Zhizhou in the Herding Division, please go and see you soon!" ”

Fan Ning was shocked, why did Han Qi come? His mind was in a hurry, did he come for the matter of the country of Izuha?
