February is a good season for the grass warbler to fly in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention the central Fujian region that is closer to the south than the south of the Yangtze River.

In a restaurant in the tile shop in Jian'an County, the breeze is boringly waving the store's wine flag, and the shopkeeper in the lobby is calculating the day's expenses with a bargain.

Since there are not many customers, most of the guys in the store are very casual, chatting about some daily trivial matters while wiping the tables and chairs in the store, and occasionally sneaking a glance at the stairs leading upstairs.

At the top of the staircase there were seven or eight strong men standing there, the attendants of a few strange guests who had come upstairs this morning, and a large group of strong men upstairs with a few children.

The strangeness of these guests lies in their height far beyond the locals and their incomprehensible accents, much like those of the Northern Barbarians who have fled from Jiangbei in recent years.

Those northern barbarians came to the Southern Dynasty in poverty, and they usually made a living by doing some short-term work, and even sold themselves as ten-day husbands.

The guys in the store also bullied some of the northern barbarians who fled to Jian'an on weekdays, but this time the shopkeeper and the guys in the store didn't dare to provoke these people upstairs.

Just look at the group of guards of those children, you can know that they are not easy to mess with, not to mention the big shoulders and round waists, and they all carry a long cloth bag, and the shopkeeper is an old Jianghu, and you can know that there are swords and weapons inside.

These are either sea fangs or relatives of a powerful family, and if they can't get it right, they are still relatives of the Hou family in the city, and they are cautious about the response of these shopkeepers.

In order to let the guests adapt to the diet, the shopkeeper also let the guys buy a large number of beef and sheep 'meat', duck, goose and Sanhuang 'chicken', which are rarely eaten by locals, and a large number of ingredients suitable for the taste of northerners.

But these guests are good, the shopkeeper does not want these official dishes, and specially orders the local dishes of Jian'an, in addition to the special "color" snacks such as fairy grass 'dew' and fish skin dumplings in central Fujian, so that the shopkeeper's hard work is in vain.

Compared with the comfortable guys downstairs, the guys who served the guests upstairs trembled one by one, for fear that something would go wrong and offend the guests.

These people don't seem to be very good people, although the young man and the two young 'women' look 'quite 'like' like the 'daughters' of the eunuchs', especially the two 'women' look as beautiful as 'flowers'.

Just now, a few guys secretly glanced at the two young 'girls', and they really felt like fairies, but since they were glanced at by the leading guard, the murderous aura made several guys suddenly feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they were honest like frightened quails.

Seeing this scene, the older young 'girl' covered her mouth and laughed, and even the tea on the table was almost knocked over.

The three of them sat at a table, on which were fish balls, oyster cakes, 'spring' rolls, water chestnut cakes, yellow rice cakes, hair cakes, eight-treasure taro paste, radish cakes, taro cakes, roasted 'meat' dumplings, bamboo shoot jelly and so on.

Even the fairy grass jelly eaten in Jian'an during the summer day, osmanthus 'flower' tea, and sour jujube paste are also available, and a large table is full, and the fragrant aroma is extremely 'tempting'.

Cheng Xueying has not dropped the practice of martial arts in these years of studying medicine, so she is more able to eat, and most of the snacks on the table are eaten by her.

Zhu Qingqing couldn't eat some fish balls, 'meat' dumplings and fairy grass 'dew', Cheng Xueying said to her: "Qingqing, you don't eat more, you see that you are so thin now, be careful not to grow one!" ”

As he spoke, he said to Wang Ze on the side: "Da Lang, what are you doing just looking outside?" If you don't hurry up, I can't eat it all by myself."

said and muttered: "How can you just drink these teas, and only drink those tea leaves without any ingredients, and I haven't seen others drink like this!" ”

At this time, Wang Zezheng looked out the window at the Jian'an County, which is located at the mouth of the Minjiang River, and Jian'an County, which is located at the mouth of the Minjiang River, is also full of vitality in the 'spring' day, because it is the 'spring' busy season, and the time is more than an hour away from noon, there are not many people in Vasri, most of them come to buy and sell some agricultural products.

Jian'an County was a place where the central government had a weak control over the region for hundreds of years from Qin Shi Huang's unification of China to the establishment of Minzhong County in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The government's control was weak, and the foreign population was small, resulting in the productivity of the central Fujian region at the beginning has been lagging behind, and even the food supply of the local people is very difficult.

Fortunately, the original inhabitants of Fujian, the Baiyue people, have always been reluctant to let go of all kinds of things that can be used as food, and they have taken advantage of the sea to obtain various seafood, and their lives can go on.

However, since the beginning of the 'chaos' of Yongjia in the Jin Dynasty established by the Sima clan, and the subsequent 'chaos' war between Wuhu and Hua and the 'chaos' of the Sixteen Kingdoms, millions of displaced people from the north have migrated south, including a large number of Han people who have migrated to Jian'an County.

Starting from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, after several generations of vigorous development of Song, Qiliang and several generations, the population of Jian'an County began to increase rapidly, because Jian'an County is mostly mountainous and has very little arable land, a large number of displaced people have come to make the mountainous land of Jian'an County has been greatly developed, which is of great reference significance for Wang Ze to develop Qinjin Island in the future.

Since the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jian'an County has been the distribution center of overseas trade, although Hou Jingzhi's 'chaos' after the Jian'an county guard rights were mastered by the local powerful Hou Baoying, but there are still a lot of ships for overseas trade.

Wang Ze's fleet took this opportunity to pretend to be a foreign merchant ship, but no one doubted it, after all, the level of sinicization in Baekje and other countries in the East China Sea was still very high.

Hearing Cheng Xueying's shout, Wang Ze put down the tea cup in his hand, and said to Cheng Xueying and the others with a smile: "This tea is a good thing, when you travel to other places or the sergeants go to other countries, you can restrain the water and soil by drinking more tea, and you can reduce many diseases!" ”

Zhu Qingqing nodded again and again, and also picked up the teacup and asked Wang Ze to pour him a cup, but Cheng Xueying was disdainful of Wang Ze's words, but the ship doctor on the table next to him hurriedly picked up a small notebook and memorized it.

Looking at the distant scenery outside the window upstairs, Wang Ze couldn't help but be poetic, and said in his mouth: "The grass warbler flies in the February sky, and the willows on the embankment are drunk with 'spring' smoke." The children returned early from school and were busy releasing paper kites in the east wind. ”

Xiao Jing and others on the table next to him applauded before the words fell, and Xiao Jing praised in his mouth: "I have heard for a long time that Xiao Langjun made his own five-word poems without a teacher, and today I am fortunate to see Xiao Langjun make seven-word poems, and in just a few crosses, it is really a wonderful poem!" ”

After all, Wang Ze has been reborn for seven or eight years, and his face has long been thick-skinned, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all when he heard Xiao Jing's pursuit, but just smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao has won the award, the poetry is just a small way, have all the things I asked you to arrange yesterday have been arranged?" ”

Hearing Wang Ze ask about the matter, Xiao Jing hurriedly got up and replied: "Please rest assured, Xiao Langjun, I have arranged things properly last night, I personally selected a few henchmen and sent a total of five teams of people to send the letter separately, I will definitely miss Xiao Langjun's big event!" ”

Hearing Xiao Jing's reply, Wang Ze nodded reassuringly, although Xiao Jing has a bit of a character problem and likes to pat on the back, he is still very serious about doing things.

If Xiao Jing knew that Wang Ze would see him like this in his heart, he was afraid that he would cry aggrievedly in his heart, and he had spent the boss's heart for Wang Ze's affairs.

More than ten days ago, Wang Ze led the fleet to rest for a day after landing on Yizhou Island, and then carried out some exploration of Yizhou.

Because the indigenous forces on Yizhou Island are relatively strong compared to the indigenous people of the Ryukyu Islands, and there are many Han people cultivating here in the plains in the western part of Yizhou, forming villages one after another.

In order not to clash with these people, Wang Ze chose to set up two supply points in the north-east and north of Yizhou Island. (Probably the Keelung and 'Hua' Lotus areas in later generations)

After five or six days on the island, he built two bases enough to accommodate four or five thousand men in each of them, and was not afraid of the attack of the native pirates.

Wang Ze wanted to make these two places into permanent 'sexual' bases, and after leaving seven or eight hundred men at each of the two supply points, Wang Ze led the fleet to the west.

It turned out that He Liang's fleet was divided into two, with some armed merchant ships led by He Liang himself to continue to explore the southern area of Yizhou, and then continued to explore the seas further south after building supply points, while the other part of the merchant ships followed Wang Ze to Jian'an County in the west.

It has been mid-February since they set off from Jeju Island on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and Wang Ze and others have been at sea for more than a month.

In the more than one month of sea voyage, in addition to setting up a series of supply points, building port docks, and exploring a new sea route, Wang Ze also made a full consideration for the future strategic layout.

At present, the general trend of the world in the land of Shenzhou is mainly determined by the Central Plains forces, and the surrounding small countries, including the Turkic and other steppe forces, can only take advantage of the Central Plains when the Central Plains is divided, and after the Central Plains is unified, they will either pay tribute immediately or be wiped out by the Central Plains Dynasty.

There is no way, the huge population and the advanced level of science and technology raised by the superior geographical conditions of the Central Plains determine his deterrence and influence on neighboring countries and forces.

Even if Wang Ze has implemented some new technologies and technologies in Shanzhai and Jeju Island, including Qinjin, he still can't leave the technical level of the Central Plains far away until he has not cultivated systematic 'sexual' talents in one or two decades.

In some respects, Wang Ze's current power is not as technologically advanced as that of the Central Plains in many respects, and as long as the gunpowder weapon, which is regarded as a killer weapon, is successfully copied, then Wang Ze's advantage will no longer exist, and as long as he is not careful, he will be preempted by others.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the countries to jointly besiege the Northern Qi, Wang Ze and Wang Yong took a big advantage in the Northern Qi, although now Wang Yong has occupied the land of Sanqi and has more than 100,000 troops, but it is just an opportunity to take advantage of the main attention of the Northern Qi to be attracted by the Northern Zhou and Southern Chen.

If Wang Yong didn't know what to do and was bent on marching into the Central Plains to fight for the world, then as long as the war machine of the Northern Qi Dynasty started to move against Wang Yong, Wang Yong would probably suffer immediately.

In addition, the rapidly rising Northern Zhou will also be Wang Ze's powerful enemy in the future, just look at the conquests of Goguryeo after the unification of the Sui and Tang dynasties, these two countries will definitely not let a country of the same nation as themselves wander out of their control.

From this point of view, the most favorable situation for Wang Ze in the Central Plains is to let the North and South Dynasties in the Central Plains still maintain the status quo of the Three Kingdoms, or at least maintain the confrontation between the North and the South for hundreds of years.

However, since the 'rebellion' of Xiao Liang Hou Jingzhi began in the Southern Dynasty, the area has shrunk sharply, and the national strength has plummeted, and the current Chen Dynasty's control area is only a thousand miles around Jiankang, and there are still a large number of forces against Southern Chen in other places.

In contrast, the national strength of the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi of the Northern Dynasties far exceeded that of the Southern Chen, and as long as the North was unified, the Southern Dynasties would inevitably not be able to continue to fight.

If he wants to make Nan Chen become stronger quickly, so that the Chen Dynasty has the strength to fight against the Northern Dynasty, then Wang Ze must find a way to strengthen the strength of Southern Chen.

Just when Wang Ze was pondering, suddenly there was a commotion downstairs, and then he heard the sound of fighting, as if it was fighting, and at this moment suddenly a voice came: "I am the son of Jian'an County Shou, who dares to stop me?" ”

Wang Ze frowned, does your sister want to let her brother be a slap in the face today?
