Chapter 438: Old Man's Ambition
"Alas, the old man is quiet, but it's a pity that Lao Xie, a short-lived ghost, died of illness not long after the Xinfangzi Fort in Jiangzhou City was built the year before last! So my old bones, three years older than him, are still alive! โ
Jing Zhen stroked his already gray beard slightly, and sighed embarrassedly, "This person is old when he lives!" โ
"I heard that most of the people in Bangja Fort were the first batch of people on Jeju Island? My family's ranch was only about ten miles away from Jeju New Town, I don't know which settlement you are from, uncle? Qin Han looked at this old man in the past legend curiously.
In fact, the people of Fangzibao are not only the first batch of immigrants from Jeju Island, but also the first batch of people recruited by Wang Ze when he was in Datuntian, Changguang County.
Therefore, when Qin Han said this, he also wanted to see if this old man was someone he knew, after all, both the ancients and the present people liked the saying that the villagers were like.
When the old man was asked by Qin Han like this, he also carefully looked at Qin Han's face, and when he noticed the scar on Qin Han's face, he suddenly exclaimed: "Are you the bold boy who dared to fight Xiao Yu's remnants with a group of boys?" I remember that this scar was left by the subordinate of that guy named Zhu Huang! โ
When Qin Han was told this, not only did he not remember the sore spot, but he became even happier, he didn't expect to meet his fellow villagers, he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of many uncles at that time, I'm afraid we boys would all die!" โ
Yan Xiaowu looked at the excited expressions of the two, and suddenly made a bold guess: "Uncle Jing, could it be that you were one of the militiamen who went to rescue them in the first place?" โ
Being asked by Yan Xiaowu, Jing Zhen couldn't help but smile proudly: "Of course, we were not far from the Haotian Great Temple, and I heard that someone dared to attack our Jeju Island, so the big guy picked up the guy and rode away, but I happened to see a group of boys being slashed and killed by the gang of Xiao Liang Yu, but it made us angry, but unfortunately there were still one or twenty killed when we came!" โ
Speaking of this, Jing Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Those are all good children, they were all fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, if they could live until now, how could they have four or five dolls, it's a pity to die!" โ
Jing Zhen said to Qin Han, who had already been a little vague about the scene at that time, and he wiped his tears and thanked him: "Thank you so much, uncle, Your Majesty wanted to reward you at the beginning, but in the end, no one went to receive the award, I want to thank you for not finding anyone!" โ
Jing Zhen said with pity: "When we rushed there, you were all cut down so much, fortunately, you people have a big life, and you survived by being cut to a blur of flesh and blood, where do we people have the face to receive the award, are you not as good as these children at that time?" โ
"Father, it's time to eat!"
A strong man in his thirties walked in, saluted a few people and said to Jing Xu, now they are indeed hungry.

"It's been a long time since I've had this fun!"
Qin Han held a roasted leg of lamb with a charred outside and tender inside in one hand, and drank a small sip of sugarcane wine in the other, not only did he see the fellow villagers who came out of Jeju Island today, but he also accidentally found the benefactor who saved him and others, which made Qin Han finally fulfill his wish for many years.
Yan Xiaowu watched Qin Han keep drinking, although he frowned, but after thinking about it, he still stopped thinking about dissuasion, and he smiled at Qin Han: "Actually, what I admire the most is not anything else, but Uncle Jing is almost sixty years old now, and he still takes so many young people to open up the grassland!" โ
Since Jeju Island was attacked by Xiao Yu on a large scale, the people of Jeju Island began the first great migration, and Jing Zhen and they also left Jeju Island in this great migration of Jeju people.
They first migrated to Fangzibao and settled there, this fort is mainly the first batch of immigrants from Jeju Island, and it is also the place where horses, cattle and sheep are raised the most in Pingyang County, until the development of animal husbandry in Taizhou and Whale Island, it is a very important animal husbandry base in Xia Kingdom.
Moreover, because of the large number of people in the fort who joined the army, these soldiers relied on the military merits they obtained to exchange a large amount of land and pasture after retiring, so that the per capita land area of Fangzibao was nearly 200 mu, which was almost the most per capita land in the ten counties of the entire East China Sea.

The life of the people of Fangzibao in the northern part of Pingyang County is not bad, but when Wang Ze first called on the people of the East China Sea to move to the Nanshui Valley, Xie Xun and Jing Xu, who are already in their early fifties, also found that with the rapid increase in the number of newly-born children in the fort in the past ten years, the per capita land has decreased very much.
So after a discussion, the two mobilized almost the entire people of Fangzibao to migrate to the Nanshui Basin, and after this time the land was replaced, they had 200 acres of land per capita, not to mention, but also 200 acres of grassland per capita, which can be said to be a step forward in life.
Although the winter in the Nanshui basin is colder than that in Pingyang County, with the ondol invented by Wang Ze and the cotton promoted and planted in the Central Plains, as well as the increasingly prosperous fur breeding industry and the development of wool textiles in the Xia Kingdom, these cold climates have little impact on the newly migrated people in the Xia Kingdom.
Under the leadership of these two wise old men, they soon lived a better life soon after they came to Nanshui, not only did they newly establish Fangzibao and have a large area of arable land, but even after several years of breeding, they also had hundreds of thousands of sheep, tens of thousands of cattle, and tens of thousands of horses.
This time, Wang Ze sent a large army to attack Goguryeo, and a large number of herdsmen also followed, but in fact, the newly relocated Fangzibao did not need to be relocated again.
However, Jing Xu saw that in the future, the south bank of Sumoshui must also be a very important location for the Xia Kingdom in Liaodong, and he planned to take some of his clansmen to establish a branch fort here, which could be regarded as laying a good foundation for the young and strong Fangzi Fort in the future.
Hearing Yan Xiaowu's praise of Jing Xu, Qin Han smiled and said, "That is, Uncle Jing, they can be regarded as having gone through several battle formations, and I have seen them march before, they are simply the characteristics of cavalry marching, and even those cattle and sheep have been trained by them to be soldiers who can charge!" Those cows are not easy! โ
Hearing Qin Han say this, Yan Xiaowu then remembered, it seemed that at the beginning, the horns of the cows that walked in front of them were all sharpened, and several herdsmen were taking care of these cattle, once someone blocked the way, these cattle were the warriors who charged into battle.
Thinking of the possibility of being trampled into meat puree by thousands of cattle, Yan Xiaowu couldn't help but feel a chill, who would have thought that there were such masters among these herdsmen, it seems that these herdsmen are really the support of the big guys.
Thinking of this, Yan Xiaowu became even happier, he picked up a glass of rice wine and rushed over to Jing Zhen and the others who came over to greet him, this uncle is still quite experienced, and he can learn a lot more things with him.
"Uncle, why did you choose to camp here at Sumoshui? Isn't there a lot of land on the other side of the water? "Yan Xiaowu is very strange about Jing Xu's location this time, if the site is selected on the other side, there is still millet water to block the Khitans and Goguryeos, but here you have to be wary of it all year round.
In addition to his sturdy third son, there were four or five sturdy young men around Jing Xu, who seemed to be the juniors in their fort, and when he heard Yan Xiaowu say this, Jing Zhen suddenly smiled and said: "Of course, I have future considerations, although the other side of the Sumo River is relatively safer, but once Liaodong develops in the future, it is far inferior to this side!" โ
Seeing that Yan Xiaowu was a little puzzled, Jing Zhen explained with a smile: "You see that in the water transportation of this millet water, the flat-bottomed sand boat of the 3,000 stone level can sail from Jiangkou City all the way to the edge of the big river near us, and it is very dangerous to go upstream with turbulent water, so this place will definitely be a hub for waterway transportation in the future!"
In the future, a wharf port will inevitably be built here, which will be of great benefit to us, even if the port is not established near the river, but it will definitely not be too far away from us, relying on such a gradually developing port city, our life can be better! โ
Yan Xiaowu couldn't help but admire Jing Xu's analysis when he heard it, this Xia Kingdom has not been able to win all of them, this old man has already analyzed the development trend of the next few decades or even hundreds of years, but he has to admire Jing Xu's analytical ability.
However, Qin Han asked: "Uncle Jing, in this case, why don't you set up a camp close to Su Moshui, this place is already twenty miles away from Su Moshui, so if the land along Su Moshui is snatched away, wouldn't you be at a loss?" โ
Hearing that Qin Han was worried about his future, Jing Han laughed and said, "Don't worry, you have all forgotten the "Huze Law" that Your Majesty promulgated at the beginning?" Although this water is twenty miles away from us, all the wetlands and mud from the riverside must be protected.
In this way, we only need to occupy the surrounding pastures for more than ten miles, and then go through the formalities with the government later, and we will have two or three thousand people coming here behind us, we are just the vanguard troops, and when the people behind us come, the people of our Fangzibao alone can also occupy a large area of pastures! โ
Yan Xiaowu and Qin Han nodded again and again, they have been busy fighting all these years and have forgotten this, it seems that their understanding of the law in the past two years has not kept up, in case they violate the criminal rules in the future, they will be punished, Xia Guocai has nothing to say that he can't punish the doctor.
Jing Zhen saw that the two of them nodded again and again and continued to smile: "In addition to this, starting from us, it is the closest place where Sumoshui connects to Buyeo City, and in the future, a big road to Buyeo City will inevitably be built here, and after the ships that come here along the mixed river and Nanshui all the way to unload the goods, you can follow the road to reach Buyeo City!"
If this avenue continues to extend to the south, it can also continue to reach Xincheng, Liaodong City, and Liaoshui River, so that we will become a hub for north-south transportation! In the future, even if it is just raising cattle, sheep and grain, it can be smoothly transported out and exchanged for a lot of wealth! โ
