When viewed from the sky, Jeju Island in the East China Sea looks like an oval-shaped green jade, and it is a jewel in the East China Sea in terms of strategic location and other aspects.

The scorching summer sun shines on the land of Jeju Island, and it is a day when the sun shines overhead, not to mention making people look up at the sun, and even staring at the eyes in the wilderness has become a very difficult thing, and everyone can't help but squint their eyes, and if they are not careful, the dazzling sunlight will make the people cry.

However, the Hermes-Epitek, who grew up facing the loess with their backs to the sky, have not been unaccustomed to the environment of Jeju Island since they moved here two years ago, although there are more mountains, fewer trees, and more windy areas, but compared to the past when they had nothing, this place is really good.

Because Wang Ze attaches great importance to environmental protection, from the beginning of the construction, He Bo and Yan Boss led a cadre of professors and students of the College of Agriculture to carry out strict planning for the entire island, and the agricultural land on the entire island is used as pasture, except for a very small number of less than 100,000 mu of cultivated land.

Standing on the high hill and looking at it, a large area of artificially planted grass swaying in the wind on the gently undulating hillsides in the distance, in addition to most of these grasses are alfalfa, and a small part of them are soybeans and other 'fine' feed specially for war horses.

Jeju Island has very good animal husbandry conditions, and in later generations, it was claimed that the best pasture in Asia was located here, and now it has become the most important horse grazing land under Wang Ze's rule, and the war horses held by various pastures and armies on the whole island add up to nearly 20,000 adult war horses and more than 30,000 young horses.

The hedges formed by fences and climbing plants subdivide these large pastures into small and large areas, which are called small pastures, but the smallest area is the size of hundreds of acres, and the largest ones are hundreds of acres in size.

A large herd of cattle and sheep in the pasture with the half-grown cubs slowly moved on the grass, enjoying the fragrant and delicious pasture in the summer, and the well-trained sheepdog chased back the calves and lambs that ran around because of too strong curiosity from time to time, and the cattle and sheep made a "moo" and "bleating" sound.

The steeper you go to the central part of Jeju Island, the steeper it becomes, but there is no trace of any damage to the cultivation here, and the mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, and streams are very well protected according to the "Hunting Law of the Mountains and Forests" and the "Lakes and Lakes Law" promulgated the year before.

People who are close to the mountains and forests will be patronized by animals running out of the mountains and forests from time to time, and there are often herdsmen who get up early in the morning to feed their cattle and sheep and find deer or other animals hiding in the herds of cattle and sheep.

However, because of the daily teachings of the Taoist priests of the Haotian God Sect, the herdsmen all know the importance of the harmony of all things, and most of them treat these creatures with kindness.

When Wang Ze immigrated to Jeju Island, in addition to the newly built Jeju New Town in the southeast, he also built one or two dozen settlements of a slightly larger scale.

Later, however, because the pastures allocated to them were far away from the settlements and the land was large enough, the whole family gradually moved to pastures outside the settlements.

After more than two years of evolution, the nearly 20 villages that were originally settled by villagers have now all become towns with workers such as handicraft workshops and textile farms as the main residents, and the people who engage in agricultural and animal husbandry have all moved to live on their assigned land.

Unlike in the earliest days, when there were more men and fewer women, today's Jeju Island is due to the continuous introduction of Japanese 'women' and Silla 'women', and from time to time you can see '' 'women' of different races who hold a stumbling Chinese language in the fields and on the streets, working or purchasing.

Most of them were young 'women' captured from the battlefields of the Japanese kingdom, a small half were Silla 'women' purchased through Baekje, and a few young and beautiful 'women' from other countries, most of whom were assigned to meritorious soldiers as concubines.

Because Wang Ze issued a decree to protect the personal safety of these 'women', and the government still attached great importance to them, the life of these 'women' under Wang Ze's rule was much better than in their own country.

Wang Ze also stipulated that as long as these 'women' have lived under their rule for more than three years and can clearly express their meanings in Chinese, they can apply for the status of local residents promulgated by the government and become permanent residents under the rule of the local government.

Although the right to be a resident is far inferior to the right to elect a village chief or town head, it is also a very rare identity for these alien 'women', and it is what they are pursuing to obtain resident status and be protected by the government.

What's even worse is that in order to take care of disabled veterans, Wang Ze stipulated that as long as any 'girl' of different races marries them, after three years, as long as he does not violate the law, he can obtain the status of a local resident, which has aroused the pursuit of many foreign 'women', and even a large number of Baekje 'daughters' have ventured to Jeju Island by sea.

Regardless of the busy or leisurely life of the people in other places, Jeju New Town, which is located on an important shipping route in the East China Sea, has always been bustling, whether it is the ships under Wang Ze or the sea ships of other countries, they will now choose to stop at Jeju New City for supplies.

Today, the original planned 60,000 buildings in Jeju New City have been filled, and even the area near the port has been planned as a residential building area, and the population of the entire Jeju Island, including the following towns and farms, is about to reach 150,000.

The number of people living on such a piece of land, even in the Northern Qi Dynasty, which has the largest population in the Central Plains, can be regarded as a medium-sized county, and if it were in the Lingnan region of Nanchen, a state might not have so many people.

Xu Ning walked around the streets of Jeju New Town, and the volcanic stone paved in the wide streets was now smoothed out, and the small holes in the volcanic rock were now filled with all kinds of dust, making him look more and more calm.

The large street trees planted on both sides of the street have now regained their original crown width, and the spread of branches and foliage covers most of the street, and the rich shade of the trees blocks the sunlight from the heads of pedestrians, making it look particularly cool.

In the green belt seven or eight feet wide under the big trees, the native shrubs and grasses transplanted from the nearby mountains and forests are planted, and now the clusters are blooming luxuriantly, red, white, yellow, and pink.

Originally, Carpenter Tan wanted to plant the 'flower' grass brought from his hometown in Jangguang County, but the professors of the College of Agriculture agreed that it would be better to plant the local plants of Jeju Island, and the two sides became more and more quarrelsome, and even almost got into a fight.

In order to prevent the invasion of alien species, it is best to use endemic species for breeding and planting on Jeju Island or other islands, and not to destroy the local environment as a last resort.

After more than two years of hard work, Jeju New City is now a shining jewel of the countries surrounding the East China Sea, and from time to time you can hear the amazement of maritime merchants from Baekje and Silla when they visit Jeju Island.

Even the Han Chinese maritime merchants from the Southern Dynasties were surprised to see this new city, although there were many large cities in the Southern Dynasty that far exceeded Jeju New Town in terms of area and scale, but there was no city that was as 'refined', construction and cultural as Jeju New Town, and even Jiankang could not compare to the new city in front of him in terms of 'fine' sophistication.

Listening to the group of Nanchen Haishang around him admiring this new city passing by him, Xu Ning, as the commander-in-chief of the Jeju Island militia, was also full of pride and pride, and he had watched this city grow and build from scratch in the past two years.

Whether it is this city or the Haotian Temple not far from the city, it can be said to be second to none in the entire East China Sea, and even the new city under construction in Qinjin cannot compare to it.

The Haotian Temple on Jeju Island is now sitting on Liu Qing, who is nearly 100 years old and is known as the old immortal, and even Wang Ze has great respect for him.

Because of the frequent earthquakes in Qinjin, there are even hundreds of larger earthquakes in a year, and most of the buildings built in the local area are frame houses, and the scale of the newly built city is not large.

In the end, it even affected the construction of local temples, changing the temples in other places to be built of brick and stone, and the temples in Qinjin were mostly single-storey buildings with civil engineering structures.

Li Jie, who was in charge of Qinjin religious affairs, simply announced that the Haotian Grand Temple on Jeju Island was the highest shrine institution in the entire Donghae region, and anyway, there were two passenger ships between Qinjin and Jeju Island every ten days, and it was convenient for people to travel back and forth.

In Xu Ning's eyes, Jeju New Town is so perfect, probably the only thing he makes trouble is the children running around on the street, most of these children are three or four years old, and there are a large number of one- or two-year-old children who are still under the care of their parents and are looking at those brothers and sisters who are full of joy all over the ground.

Thanks to the "Birth Law" promulgated by Wang Ze two years ago, the government subsidizes the children born to each family, and each child is given 30 catties of food and 5 catties of 'meat' every month until he reaches the age of six, and when the child reaches the age of six, he has to go to school, and there is no tuition, free accommodation, and clothes all year round.

The Chinese people have always liked the theory of having more children and more blessings, and in this case, it is really a good life, if it were not for the fact that many soldiers on the island have been fighting with Wang Ze in the past two years, I am afraid that the number of children born will double.

Most of the children who are running around now were born in the village of Tuntian, a village in Muping Mountain, and now there are so many young 'girls' in various families on the island, and in a few years, I am afraid that the subsidy for these children alone will be a lot of money.

However, for Xu Ning, this is not what he has in mind, he is only happy about his own development day by day, but during this time, a group of pirates who don't know where they came from often wander around Jeju Island for hundreds of miles.

Yesterday, I heard that the fleet of a group of Nanchen merchants had been plundered, and that group of pirates had killed all the people on the merchant ship with great ferocity, which was beyond the ordinary practice of pirates seeking money rather than life.

Yesterday, Du Sheng, the commander of the navy who was responsible for defending Jeju Island, went out to sea again to look for the traces of this group of pirates, but still found nothing.

"It would be nice if the little marquis was here" Xu Ning suddenly had such an idea in his mind, and at this moment, Zheng Pei, who was in charge of the security of the dock, ran over to him in a panic: "General, there are a lot of warships on the sea suddenly!" ”
