The commander of the Xiong battalion is named Xiong Jiang, who was originally a hunter in the mountains of Fujian, and was sent to Hailan Port in a circle.

Here, he owns more than 500 acres of private land, and has six beautiful wives and concubines, all of which are bought from surrounding tribes.

There are also many wild Jurchens who have been accepted to farm for him, and he even has a Jurchen cavalry of 200 people, which grazes cattle for them in peacetime and acts as support and reconnaissance in wartime.

Every soldier on this side is almost always a landlord, and the per capita occupation of land is more than 200 acres, and this number is still expanding.

They learned the plantation model from Qinnan, but it was difficult to grow cash crops in this place, so they could only grow food with their lives.

Zhang Shu and the others came to the warm fortress and ate a rich meal, and their fatigue all the way was reduced by a few points.

Nineteen people devoured meat, and after the food filled their hungry intestines, they subconsciously began to think about the current situation.

Battalion Commander Xiong was watching from the sidelines, and a few people in military uniforms were also looking at them with a smile.

"Don't worry, the offspring boys, there is meat here, you will understand after eating it for a few days, this broken place, if you want to eat a mouthful of vegetables, it is the most difficult!"

As he spoke, Camp Commander Xiong asked him to get a few cups of milk tea: "This is learned from those shepherds, and they rely on a sip of tea to hang themselves!"

Everyone took a sip and took a sip, only to feel that the taste was a little strange, but fortunately it was not difficult to swallow.

"Camp Commander Xiong, in that case, why don't you plant vegetables?" The only female cadre who was brought in for labor reform asked.

"Heh, you girl doll haven't farmed?"

"I've planted it, but can't I grow greens there?"

"You can't grow here!" Camp Commander Xiong said with emotion: "Only cabbage can be grown here, and these wild people can't grow it well."

A cadre named Li Quanyou said: "In fact, there is a way to plant, the agricultural technician in Mocheng has tried what greenhouse planting technology, as long as you get glass and build a greenhouse, you can grow it!"

"Really?" Xiong Jiang scratched his head and asked.

"It should be true, just think about it, we are warmer in the house, the glass house is the same, but the glass will transmit light, so isn't it like a warmer place to grow vegetables?"

"Makes sense! Makes sense! Xiong Jiangmeng stood up, and after taking two steps, he directly ordered: "Go, tell Captain Chen, next time you get a boatload of glass, you want to see through the light, huh...... It's bigger, it can't be broken! Still...... For instructions on how to build a greenhouse, it's best to send me an agricultural technician! ”

After the subordinate received the order, he immediately saluted and went out.

Xiong Jiang pointed at Li Quanyou and said: "You are a very good young boy, you gave me a good opinion as soon as you came, and when the vegetables are planted here, I'm afraid that life will be a little better!"

"Camp Commander Xiong...... How many years have you been here? Zhao Quanyou asked suddenly.

"It's been a few years! I wasn't used to it at first, but now, haha...... I can't help but go! The soldiers of our battalion are only more than 400 people in total, which is not a normal establishment and no constraints, which is equivalent to protecting the merchant station here and making babies by the way! ”

Nineteen people were eager to understand Hailan Harbor, and some people hurriedly asked: "What is the matter with the wild people over here?" It is said that the furs and horses here were all brought by savages. ”

"It's not savages, these people are just tribes, some gather in the mountains and forests, some fish and hunt for a living, and some can also farm some land. If you want to divide it roughly, the savages here are all Haixi Jurchens, in the direction of the Ming Kingdom, there are Jianzhou Jurchens over there, and the Korean Kingdom is also not far from the next door. Xiong Jiang explained.

"It's close to Daming?" Someone was surprised.

Xiong Jiang shook his head and said: "It's not near or far, in the past few years, I have met people from the Ming Kingdom, saying that they came from Liaodong, and they are very dissatisfied with our trade here, and after learning that we are from Eastern Qin, there will be no!" They also sent henchmen to trade a few times, but they didn't come back! I don't know why, I'm afraid it's a discount! ”

Of course, it's a discount! Liaodong's military generals and merchants are definitely the most depressed existence, and the Eastern Qin trade from Hailan Port, coupled with the opening of Tianjin Port, makes it difficult for them to smuggle. Now if they want to do any business, they can only look at the faces of the merchants of Beizhili.

"In this way, Hailan's place is really close to Daming!" Zhang Shu suddenly said: "North Korea is on the edge of Daming!"

Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, they had never seen such a confidential information as the map of the Northern Route before, and now they were shocked to be mentioned like this.

At least psychologically, they are more receptive to it, and they feel that it is not so unbearable here.

Xiong Jiang said: "The Korean country is indeed next door, but that group of people is poor, and when they come to do business, they can't get any decent goods, but they have a lot of women for us!" What's the matter, you offspring aren't married, are you? ”

The young men all smiled shyly, they had a marriage contract, and they were all yellowed by this turmoil.

Xiong Jiang glanced at it, leaned back in his chair and said, "In Hailan Harbor, my mother-in-law can marry casually!" Some of my soldiers have seven or eight mothers-in-law, and I have less, only six! If it weren't for the military affairs in peacetime, I'm afraid I would have to marry two!

Don't worry, when I inform those tribes next time, I will make sure that each of you will get two mothers-in-law!" I can warm the quilt for you, and do laundry and cook for you, how beautiful! ”

Zhang Shu lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling that the operation of Hailan Port was very rough, and it was almost an extralegal place.

"Isn't there a prefect in Hailan Harbor?" Zhang Shu asked.

Xiong Jiang waved his hand and said: "No, it's not a big deal, just a trading station, trading with the surrounding tribes, every year when it is the most lively, there will be a big mutual market, and it will be chaotic at that time." In normal times, the soldiers of our battalion are responsible for maintaining the trading station and organizing the tenants to open up the wasteland. ”

"Tenants? How many tenants are there? Someone hurriedly asked.

"Not much, maybe three or four thousand! The tenants were all ordinary property, and they were all savages who were accepted and bought, and there were some Koreans. Xiong Jiang replied honestly.

Many people were shocked, if calculated in this way, Hailan Port was more rugged than the plantations in southern Qin, and it only had the function of commercial trade.

These soldiers were also armed landlords, who maintained trade and extracted wealth by controlling the land.

Coupled with the fact that these people belong to people who are not part of the army, then their nature is similar to that of armed immigrants in Luzon!

"If there are three or four thousand people, is there a school here? What about your children? Are you all old enough to go to school? ”

"Eh!" Xiong Jiang patted his forehead and said, "If you don't mention this, I forgot about it!" Go to school, right! Many soldiers have mentioned to me that if they stay here, their children will not even be able to go to school in the future, and they all want to let their children go to middle school, but there is not even a primary school here! ”

"It's okay! Let's do it first, you apply to the government while we teach, and we also have to make a plan for setting up a city, and strive to let the government set up a city here. ”

"That's right, as long as there is a city, then the investment and policies of the government will follow, and this side can also develop rapidly. As long as there is a fur trade and the market demand of these surrounding tribes, the development of this place will not be bad! ”

"You can still farm! There must be a lot of land available for reclamation here! ”

A group of people are full of hope in their hearts, they can have food, clothing, housing and transportation here, and they will also send mothers-in-law, except for the cold weather, there are no other shortcomings.

Isn't that better than that place in the chicken coop?

…………

The next day, nineteen people held a meeting together.

They decided to take the initiative to take charge of the administration of Hailan Harbor, and after reaching a consensus with Camp Commander Xiong, they began to build the school.

Having learned the lesson of the chicken coop, they analyzed the surrounding forces in great detail this time.

found that Camp Commander Xiong was here, and he really implemented the declaration of non-interference in internal affairs of the national government to the extreme.

The surrounding forces only have trade contacts with Hailan Port, and the rest of the things are not taken care of by the battalion commander Xiong, and even the military trade is very casual, anyway, he only sells armor and sabers.

At present, around Hailan Port, there are five major forces.

After these forces opened their trade in Hailan Port, they gradually began to migrate around Hailan Port, and they formed an alliance of interests to jointly prevent other forces from coming in and getting a piece of the pie.

In the five directions, there are Azhen Hewei, Hu'er Bald, Yilu, Asu, and Jianzhouwei!

In Hailan Port, Dong Qin did nothing, but easily reached the balance of power.

Many tribes are migrating around this area, like pancakes, slowly expanding.

For these tribes, Hailan Port sent various necessities such as tea, iron pots, salt, sugar, cotton cloth, etc., and the price was much fairer than buying them in the Liaodong Mutual Market.

This had a fatal attraction for them, and they began to move here, hoping to seize good territory and divide the three melons and two dates from it.

"This Hailan Port, as long as the population is large, is definitely comparable to a Ryukyus!" Zhang Shu was greatly excited.
