After hearing the conditions, Fan Ning couldn't help but sneer and said to Sima Zhang Nan: "Do they really dare to open their mouths and provide 100,000 people with a year's rations?" I will give them a maximum of 20,000 stone of grain, and each of them has property, which they can take away by themselves, as compensation for the house, I will give them a tent for each family, and teach them to grow grain, but the shipbuilding technology cannot be transferred, I can give them fifty small boats of 500 stones, which is enough to sail between the islands, and as for the security guarantee, I can promise that once the Boni Kingdom invades them, the Great Song will definitely send troops to protect them, but the premise is that they must attach themselves to the Great Song and become a subject state of the Great Song. ”

At this time, Akihito said on the side: "Actually, a large area of land in the eastern part of the country is no man's land, all kinds of precious wood and spices, very close to Sulu Island, they can completely harvest wood and spices, and make money through trade, and they Luzon men are lazy, but women are very industrious, if there are ploughing cattle, farming is very suitable for women, and men are responsible for cutting trees." ”

Fanning said categorically: "Whether they are farming, trading, cutting wood and collecting incense, whatever they want, but I have only one principle, they must support themselves, and if they can't support themselves, then sell their labor and do things for us!" ”

Zhang Nan is a civil official after all, he sighed and said: "Since you help them, let's help them to the end!" Giving them some seeds, farm tools, and ploughing cattle won't be worth much, but it will save a lot of things. ”

"Yes! You can do it yourself, adjust it a little, you have the right to decide, you go and talk to them. ”

The Luzon king Luo Gang finally agreed to Fanning's terms, and the whole country moved to the Sulu Islands, and more than 10,000 families began to pack up their belongings and belongings, and three days later, the first batch of goods were all on the ship, and the first batch of more than 37,000 Luzon citizens followed the king and began to get on the ship, and the Song army transported them to a large island in the westernmost part of the Sulu Islands, and the 100,000 people of Luzon would eventually be settled on the four large islands in the Sulu Islands.

In addition, the eastern peninsula of Kalimantan, where the Boni Kingdom is located, is also a no-man's land, and Fanning has assigned this vast peninsula to the Luzon Kingdom.

Five days later, the fleet arrived at the easternmost island of the Sulu archipelago, an uninhabited island of about 1,000 square kilometers, with a small volcano in the middle, from which more than a dozen small rivers originate and flow radially to the sea, becoming a natural irrigation system, ideal for farming.

In addition, there is a natural harbor to the west of the island, and a mainland can be seen dozens of miles from the harbor, which is the eastern peninsula of Kalimantan, and Fanning also assigned this forested peninsula to the Luzon state, where they can harvest wood and incense, and can survive even if they do not practice farming.

Fanning called the island of the new capital of Luzon as Sinlu Island, which was densely populated with coconut trees, and they needed to cut down the coconut trees, level the land, and the fleet docked in a natural harbor on the east side of the island, and the first people of Luzon finally set foot on their new home.

The Song army will also leave an army of 200 men on the island to teach the Luzon people to cultivate the land and teach them to build houses, and it will not be until next summer that the 200-strong army will finally leave.

..........

It took a month for the Song army to relocate the entire Luzon kingdom to Sulu Island, and at the same time, more than a dozen Song army squads searched for the indigenous population on Luzon Island, and they searched for 20 days, but still found nothing, and finally believed the Luzon people's own account, and the indigenous people of Luzon and the surrounding large islands had been wiped out by them a hundred years ago.

This also confirms the origin of the little black people on the island of Ryukyu, who were driven away by the Luzon state a hundred years ago, and some of these natives went south to Medan and the other north to Ryukyu Island, and the natives who went to Ryukyu Island were eventually wiped out by the Song army.

With the last 500 men sent away by a 10,000-stone ship, there was no trace of Luzon or natives on the island, and with the foundation laid by Luzon, the Song Dynasty could quickly build a city here and immigrate tens of thousands of people.

For several days, Fanning and dozens of retinues and craftsmen patrolled the land of Luzon, which was a hundred miles away, and they soon discovered that the location of Luzon was actually a delta alluvial from the mouth of a large river.

Along the north, on both sides of this great river are very fertile vast plains, and countless small rivers flow down from the mountains on both sides and flow into this large river, and the irrigation conditions are extremely ideal.

This great river is five or six hundred miles long, alluvial at least 20,000 square kilometers of plains, and the same well-cultivated hills and mountains, and in the north, there is another large river that also alluves a large plain, and this great river flows into the sea from the north, and the plains on Luzon are mainly distributed on both sides of these two great rivers.

The eastern part of the island is a mix of plains and hills, which is also very conducive to farming.

It can be said that the plains used by the Luzon State are less than one-fiftieth of the entire Luzon Plain, and are only a small area at the mouth of the great river.

The hundreds of small rivers that flowed from the mountains contained large amounts of gold sand, and Luzon obtained a large amount of gold by mining only a few of them.

After following Fan Ning for a few days, Sima Zhang Nan turned into black charcoal, and he said with great emotion: "It is really a land of treasures, if it is developed, the Great Song Dynasty will have no worries about its financial resources!" ”

Fanning pointed to the endless forest in the distance with a horsewhip and said: "It is not easy to develop it, I plan to recruit another 50,000 Japanese laborers, build a city, cut trees, build roads, and mine for me, and in addition, from the immigrants who are preparing to move to the Ryukyu Prefecture, divide 20,000 people first, and establish a new county seat, where there is enough land, and each family can be allocated three hectares of land." ”

Zhang Nan said with a smile: "The envoy is very fond of Japanese laborers!" ”

Fanning smiled and said: "Japanese laborers can endure hardships, abide by discipline, are easy to satisfy, have families to worry about, will not rebel, are very good laborers, and I don't treat them thinly, they can be fed and clothed, they are all extremely poor when they come, they are all landless tenants, but after three years of work, everyone can buy twenty or thirty acres of land, can support a family, otherwise how can Japanese farmers be so eager to be recruited by us as laborers?" ”

After a pause, Fan Ning said again: "As for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they don't have to be laborers, as long as they grow food with peace of mind." ”

At this time, Liu Jieliang, the commander of the capital, stepped forward and saluted: "Envoy Qi, should the house left by the Luzon people be demolished and rebuilt?" ”

Fanning shook his head and said: "The capital city of Luzon can be used as a labor camp, so it will be left for the laborers to live in, and there is no need to demolish it, we can build a county seat along the river to the west of it." ”

Although the capital of Luzon is relatively close to the sea, it is still dozens of miles away from the river, which may be their habit, but for the Great Song Dynasty, building a city by the river is generally the best choice.

Zhang Nan asked with a smile: "Will the envoy go back to the Song Dynasty directly, or will he continue to visit the Nanyang countries?" ”

Fanning thought for a while and said: "This time the south is for Luzon, now we have a few things to do, I will go back to prepare for immigration and recruit Japanese laborers, Zhang Sima stayed here to do the preliminary preparations for the county, it is relatively hot and rainy, then the houses are still mainly wooden, Zhang Sima is best to lead the army to build a batch of houses first, I estimate that each family has about two acres of land, set aside the place first, the streets are also set aside, and then build houses along the streets, the city wall is not very important for the time being." ”

"That's equivalent to setting the county seat first."

"Exactly!"

Zhang Nan nodded silently, the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.

Fan Ning also said to Liu Jieliang, the commander of the capital: "General Liu led the fleet to clear the natives on the nearby islands, and if all the natives are willing to cooperate with the Song army, then spare their lives and send them to the southern islands, and if they resist the Song army, then they will all be exterminated." ”

"Obey the order!"

After Fanning explained many things, he returned to Quanzhou with 20 20,000 stone oars boats and 3,000 soldiers at the meeting, and the remaining 7,000 soldiers stayed on Luzon Island for the time being for preliminary construction.
