The broth made at noon already has dehydrated vegetables in it, and it is also a rich variety of dehydrated vegetables, plus the spices that Dahan is not lacking now, so this kind of broth is a delicacy that these villagers have never tasted.

After eating, Zhao Qi didn't let them start working immediately, because the temperature here was too high, and it was easy to plant trees if they worked at noon, so Zhao Qi asked everyone to rest under the trees and wait for the sun to be not so hot before starting to work.

For Zhao Qi's request, Luo Ya and they didn't know what to say at all, they could only follow Zhao Qi's request together, just like that, until the sun set soon, Zhao Qi and they prepared dinner for everyone again, and when they finished dinner, Zhao Qi asked people to bring the prepared food.

"Village Chief Luoya, the food we have prepared here is for your salary for today's work, 2 kilograms of grain per person." Zhao Qi said seriously.

"This ...... You don't care about us. Luo Ya was a little stupid in his whole body, but Zhao Qi still insisted, and then directly asked everyone to line up to get the food, and the thing that gave them the food was a cloth bag, but Zhao Qi had already explained to them, and when they came tomorrow, they would bring these cloth bags over, and then they would bring a tool themselves.

In addition to these things, Zhao Qi handed over all the food for the fish exchange at noon to the village chief of Luoya, and asked them to distribute it by themselves.

After all this was done, Zhao Qi let them all go back to the village.

Watching these villagers leave, Wu Min gave Zhao Qi a thumbs up and said, "Gao, Zhao's shopkeeper is really smart." ”

"Okay, this is not the method I used, this is the leader's method, and Gao Ming is also the leader Gao Ming. There is a shortage of food in this place, so I think we can send someone to inquire about the living conditions of the local people after we go ashore on the other side. ”

"If these people are short of food, we can quickly spread this method, first, we will control the highest-ranking officials in the city, and second, we will start to buy all the people."

"If all the people at the bottom are bought, then a city is under our control, even if those high-ranking officials want to rebel against the water, we are not afraid."

"I roughly estimated that if our ships were to calculate, the sailors on the ship would only carry about ten days of grain back and forth between us and Zizhulin Port, and the cost of the grain we transported would not be high at all, even lower than that of trains, and we could carry out a food strategy here." Zhao Qi said seriously.

"Well, that's a solution, but it's not something we can do, and it needs to be approved from above. And our main task must not be forgotten. Wu Min nodded.

"I know, I believe that the follow-up people are already preparing, and when the relevant personnel come here, we will communicate with each other, and this method will let them report to the country, and then hand it over to them to deal with, and we will carry out our tasks." Zhao Qi nodded and spoke.

"Okay, listen to you." Wu Min nodded very dryly.

Just like Zhao Qi guessed, when Zhao Qi was talking to Wu Min, Liu An, who was in Zizhulin Port at the moment, was also constantly busy, constantly carrying all kinds of materials to the ship through the dock.

"This Blackwater Trading House is doing a good job, they actually know how to help us expand our territory." Liu An couldn't help but smile and said, Liu An is now the highest governor of the Ministry of Continent, and it is estimated that after this year's Spring Festival, all the officials here will be in place.

At that time, Liu An will step down from his current position and only be responsible for military affairs.

"Indeed, we didn't expect that there were islands over there that did not belong to other countries, according to this statement, I think we should try to take down the happy island mentioned by the Ring Sun Dynasty, that place is said to have been able to get dragon blood trees, ambergris, aloe vera and other precious medicinal materials on it." A man in his thirties beside Liu An also spoke seriously.

"Hmm...... This place can also be dealt with by the Blackwater Trading House at that time, after all, if we dispatch, the nature will be different, it will represent the big Han, but they have passed, and it can be trade. Liu An also nodded.

The island of happiness recorded by the Jieri Dynasty is the later Socotra Island in the Gulf of Aden, which historically belonged to Egypt, and the Egyptian Dynasty has been mining frankincense medicinal herbs on this island to make mummies.

But at this time, the Egyptian dynasty was already in a state of extinction, and it was the Byzantine Empire that occupied Egypt, and the current Byzantine Empire was really in a very weak control over the southern side of Egypt.

And this island, according to the map of Dahan, it was named Sola Island.

No one knows what the situation is on Sola Island at present, but they will know after Zhao Qi and the others pass. The reason why this island has so many medicinal herbs is that it has been separated from the mainland for thousands of years, so the species on it are unique from other continents.

"Lao Yang, this time to this island, how many people have you gathered so far? Who is the one who sent it? Liu An turned around and asked.

The person who Liu An called Lao Yang is named Yang Jiong, and he is also one of the officials who joined Dahan from Datang and then went through the training of the Dahan official system, and currently serves as Liu An's deputy, in fact, he is also the city lord in the two directions of Zizhulin Port and Stan City.

"Because the area of this island is not large, about 30 patrol officers have been recruited at present, as well as an auditor, and one of my assistants, Liao Tang." Yang Jiong said directly.

"It's him, there shouldn't be any problem, I'm quite relieved that he's doing things." Liu An immediately nodded, Yang Jiong was in charge of Stan City before.

Although Zizhulin Port is very important, it is related to the next development direction of the whole Dahan, this is the first port city of Dahan, and it will be one of the most important port cities in the next few years, and the second port city of Dahan will be established near the mouth of the Heng River.

However, that place still has to be developed later, because eastward development is not the main direction of the Great Khan's development, although the main construction of port cities there in the future, but the number of docks and so on will not be too many, and the future will also be based on commercial trade as the main development direction.

Because it is foreseeable that the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty will also begin to develop rapidly in the future, and several princes of the Tang Dynasty will develop to the south of the Tang Dynasty, and those places will be the main development direction of the Han trade.

Of course, the railway from Stan City to the Ganges River basin is also being explored, but it will take time to complete the construction, but because this area is all plains, the road is much easier to build.

And the basis of all this is to be built in the city of Stan as a forward base, because the continuation of the train to be based on the city of Stan, after all, there is a Putuo River in the middle, if a bridge is built, it will take a long time, because the current foundation of the Han to build a bridge can only take the most basic technology.

The bridge built by this technology is not bad, just like the first bridge of the Yangtze River in later generations, but the disadvantage is that the speed of construction is relatively slow.

And Stan City is not only these things, but also a large number of light industry firms have been built around Stan City, and even cement factories have been built around Stan City, so it is impossible to transport a large amount of cement from China.

At present, the demand for cement here is very large, and the steel plant does not have much solution for the time being, but the technical content of cement is not high, so it is possible to build a cement plant directly in this vicinity.

And Yang Jiong had always stayed in Stan City to be responsible for all administrative matters in Stan City, while Liao Tang was in charge of these things in Zizhulin Port, so Liu An still knew Liao Tang well.

Originally, Liu An handed over to his deputy and the people transferred from Yumen Pass, while Liu An was on the side of Zizhulin Port, because the future development of the navy also started from the Xuanwu Army, so Liu An naturally wanted to know his fleet.

The first batch of merchant ships was auctioned off to those merchants, but the official of the Han Dynasty also left six merchant ships, and the official merchant ships of the Han Dynasty were completely completed by the navy trained by the Xuanwu Army, although they were also the first time, but they trained for a longer time, and their ships were also delivered for the first time, so they have been training in the nearby waters for more than a month.

In fact, the difference between them and old fishermen like Liu Heima is in experience, and these experiences are mainly aimed at the climate observation of the sea, as for the others, they are almost the same, Liu Heima and the small boat they operate are completely incomparable with this big boat.

And when these soldiers are training, it is different, when they train, there are often several warships around them to follow smoothly, and as a training one, they are performing various extreme turns, U-turns and other operations, so their proficiency is actually not slow at all.

Even when there are storms and waves, as long as the wind and waves are not particularly strong, they are training to resist storms in the offshore waters.

There is danger, but soldiers must not be afraid of danger, can it be said that fighting a war is not dangerous? is just as dangerous, so they are also fearless about danger, which is also why these soldiers have a much better grasp of ships than Liu Heima and them.

Of course, the reason why these businessmen were given support to some soldiers was also because there were few official ships, and it was difficult to train the navy on a large scale, so all means that could increase training had to be utilized.
