Time passed slowly but firmly, and the development of the Tang Kingdom entered a short period of stability.

Everything in Dongning Island is in order, steadily consolidating the foundation of the Tang Kingdom.

The natives on Luzon Island were killed, and they either surrendered or hid in the deep mountains and forests, slowly pulled them out according to the plan, and then brainwashed and reformed.

With three stable strongholds, you can directly settle the new homeless people here, without worrying that they will have other ideas.

The influx of more Han Chinese could further speed up the assimilation effort.

A virtuous circle is just that.

The development of Ryukyu Island is also very smooth, and the natives here are indeed more backward.

They didn't even have the idea of resisting, the Tang people just built a stronghold and hired them to work with grain, and they became Tang people as they worked.

And it's earned and rushed to do it.

After reading the two books of Chinese civilization and a brief history of Chinese civilization, he immediately became the most determined warrior of Chinese civilization.

It would be an honor for them to find such a powerful ancestor for their own family.

The development of Hainan Island is relatively lagging behind, mainly because of the fear that too many people will be found by the people of the Jin Kingdom.

It is also necessary to prevent Gao Liangxian's people from tearing up the agreement after discovering the iron and copper mines.

So there was no large-scale immigration, and there was no large-scale construction.

However, a large base was built in the Shiroku area, where more than 20,000 soldiers, civilians, craftsmen and slaves lived.

It has hundreds of millions of tons of open-pit iron ore reserves with the highest grade in Asia, and also has a rich copper mine with reserves of 780,000 tons.

Now most of the iron and copper of the Tang Kingdom come from here.

Of course, a large part of the copper used to mint copper coins is obtained through trading.

Jin'an County gradually disappeared from the public's sight under the deliberate construction, and the location of the small commercial center was artificially transferred to the neighboring Houguan County.

In fact, the current Jin'an County is dispensable for Wenyi, with porcelain clay, glass materials and so on Dongning Island.

Dabaoshan Iron Mine is far inferior to Shilu Iron Mine on Hainan Island in terms of reserves, mining difficulty and ore grade.

There is a danger of exposure if you keep it here, and it hurts to throw it away, which is a pity to abandon the tasteless food.

However, after comprehensive consideration, Wen Yi still decided to stay and hold the Jinjiang Estuary, which is facing Dongning Island, which is of great strategic significance.

Jin'an County is a springboard to the mainland, and it is more convenient to do many things.

But he soon discovered that his worst fear of exposure had taken on a new wave.

Houguan County was replaced, but the surname of the person who was replaced was Xie.

Xie Daoyun said happily: "Xie Zhushan is a distant relative of my family, and he has always been in charge of the family......

Wen Yi smiled: "It seems that father-in-law, they have also guessed our approximate location." ”

Xie Daoyun's eyes narrowed, and he said, "With my uncle's wisdom, knowing our relationship with Sect Master Du, you will soon be able to find out our location." ”

"Before, I should have been afraid of causing our misunderstanding and didn't take action, but this time you helped my father so much, and they took the position of Houguan County Commander in return."

Wen Yi bowed his head and said: "Maybe, no matter what, this matter has finally come to an end for the time being, and we can rest assured a little." ”

Is the Xie family really just to show gratitude? Wen Yike didn't believe that Xie An would be so simple.

Maybe they have this idea, but more often than not, they take the opportunity to send someone over to monitor and test nearby.

The couple who shared the same head, how could Xie Daoyun not understand his thoughts, in fact, she also knew that this matter was inseparable.

But on the one hand, it is her husband, and on the other hand, it is the family, and it is very uncomfortable for her to be caught in the middle.

In the past, Tang Guo and the Xie family maintained a close relationship, and there was not a lot of contact, and there was no chance to cause any conflicts, so she was not very worried in her heart.

Now that the Xie family has sent a cronie to Houguan County, the situation has changed.

Whether it's good or bad, she can't say well, she just hopes that things will go in a good direction.

Coming out of the harem, Wen Yi immediately found Zhao Zhengzhi and Chai Ben, and said: "Monitor the movements of Houguan County and Xie Zhushan, and there is no need to keep your hands if there is any abnormality." ”

"Sailors were sent to intensify patrols, and all ships close to the 50-mile waters of Dongning Island were sunk. Especially to see if they build a sailor, if there is a ......"

With a hint of ruthlessness on his face, he said, "Disguise yourself as a pirate and destroy them all, and capture the craftsmen back." ”

This...... The two looked at each other.

Zhao Zhengzhi hesitated: "If Niangniang knows...... It's going to be very difficult. ”

Wen Yi said with a gloomy face: "I know, but if the other side really has excessive movements, we don't deal with it, it will be more difficult for her to be caught in the middle...... This is also to help her, and the long pain is better than the short pain. ”

Zhao Zhengzhi also understood this truth, and sighed: "The minister understands, so let's do it." ”

Wen Yi continued: "Spread rumors of piracy to the outside world, warning the people and merchants over there not to leave the coastline and enter the deep sea. ”

"Let the sailor's men pretend to be pirates and go out for a few laps...... At the same time, patrols were intensified, and all ships that tried to approach Dongning Island were sunk. ”

The two solemnly ordered: "Yes." ”

Waiting for them to leave, Wen Yi looked into the distance and muttered, "I hope you really just want to help us cover up the traces, otherwise ......"

As soon as this terrible matter was dealt with, Jin Rushan came over again.

"King, there is news from the Yan Kingdom, you want to exchange war horses, cattle and sheep with us for food?"

Wen Yi's heart moved, and he said, "Murong Chui defeated the Ele people?" ”

Jin Rushan said: "The king is wise, Murong Chui captured and beheaded more than 100,000 people, plundered 150,000 war horses, and countless cattle and sheep. ”

Wen Yi said: "No wonder Murong Jun is so generous, he is willing to exchange war horses for food, he was not so happy before." ”

Chen Xiu said: "The minister thinks that there is another reason why he is so happy. ”

"Oh, why?"

Chen Xiu replied: "Yan is already short of grain, and it has newly occupied Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuchang and other places, and the food gap is even greater. ”

"Generally it takes at least a year or two for newly occupied land to regain stability. If there is enough food to support it, this time can be greatly shortened. ”

"Murong Jun probably wants to use our food to restore governance in the three places as soon as possible, and he can continue to send troops to attack other countries next year."

"The new monarch of the Qin State is on the throne, and there is a chance that he will take this place to fight."

Wen Yi bowed his head and agreed, even if he didn't look at the history of his previous life, he could guess Murong Jun's next move.

During the period of multinational hegemony, once a new monarch of a country ascends the throne, the hostile country will always take advantage of his unstable foothold to send troops to bully him.

What if the bullying succeeds?

Although Wen Yi couldn't remember the specific situation of this war, thinking about the opposite side was Fu Jian and Wang Meng, he knew that Murong Jun couldn't please him.

But this is in the absence of external forces, if Murong Jun has no worries about food, he can gather hundreds of thousands of troops.

In the face of absolute strength, even if Fu Jian and Wang Meng have three heads and six arms, they can't do it, so ......
