Jeju Island as a rear base and a bridgehead on the sea, Chao Gai attached great importance to it, not only stationed elite mountain troops, but also authorized the formation of the horse farm garrison army, Jeju Island garrison army, more than 10,000 soldiers, heavy garrison.

In addition, more than 100 saury boats and more than 200 large and small fish boats were consigned. Thousands of sailors patrolled the perimeter of the island in battalions and warships.

It can be said that Jeju Island is impregnable.

When the fleet was more than ten miles close to the island, it was discovered by a sea patrol. More than a dozen swordfish boats were divided into two roads, one left and one right.

Chao Gai was very satisfied with the reaction of the water army.

When it was confirmed that it was the base camp flotilla, the patrol greeted the large force, and it was mighty. And a ship was the first to return to report the news, and the island was boiling.

The red wheel falls westward, the sea and the sky are the same color, and it is indescribably gorgeous.

The afterglow of the setting sun on the sparkling sea also shines on Jeju Island, creating a beautiful scene.

The southern port of the island has not yet been completed. The tireless craftsmen, the young men who carried the wood from the mountains, the laborers who were busy digging cliffs or building fortifications along the coast, the old farmers who tended the vegetable fields near the coast, and the heavily armed soldiers and sailors who took turns resting...... Sitting on the ground or leaning against a pillar, eating a hot meal, looking at the remnants of the sun in the west. There is talk and laughter, and enjoy this rare leisure time after hard work.

These people saw a large group of black spots on the sea in the distance, and then saw Sai Xiao He Wenhuanzhang, Si Tian eunuch Pu Wenying led a large group of civil ministers and military generals to the port to greet them, and they couldn't hide the arrival of immigrants.

It's just that after the news of the arrival of Shandong Tianwang Chao Gai, people got up one after another. Some even began to wave and shout in the distance to show welcome.

I can't help but be excited!

They were originally poor people who did not have enough food and clothing, and they defected to the king of Shandong when they heard about it. Either they were assigned to work in the fields or they were hired. Since then, I have eaten and dressed warmly, and I still have money to spare, and my life has become more and more hopeful.

The Jeju Island resettlement program allows each household to have 50 acres of land. Although the immigrants were a little late, they only had time to catch up with the first batch of tens of thousands of acres of land to complete the autumn planting. The people who arrived after that were not disappointed. Not only were they allocated houses or homesteads, but they were also given the promised land, cattle and grain, and they could show their strength in the spring of the next year.

Therefore, the people who immigrated to the island naturally rejoiced when they heard that Chao Gai was coming. It was this man who gave them a new lease of life and changed their fate.

With the expeditionary fleet, the military port that had been built in advance was berthed. The people who came to greet them were like a tidal wave, and the cheers and shouts startled the birds.

Of course, although there are many people, they are not cluttered.

Wen Huanzhang, the officials headed by Pu Wenying were in front, the generals followed, and secondly, the people were the most, and there was no scrambling or crowding.

Chao Gai felt the enthusiasm of everyone, and naturally he would not remain silent. Just like the leaders of later generations, wave around Hello comrades, comrades have worked hard. Seeing this, the people were excited, and kept waving and shouting, and the voices of welcoming the king of heaven became louder, and the young girls looked inexplicable.

The cheers of Nanshan Port are like thunder!

With a smile on his face, Chao Gai and his wife boarded the port surrounded by the personal guards, and experienced the long-lost down-to-earth feeling that they had never felt on the ship. glanced around the crowd and walked directly towards Wen Huanzhang and the others.

"Hahaha, old news, long time no see, it's been good lately."

Chao Gai saw from afar that although Wen Huanzhang's waist was straight and his complexion was ruddy and shiny, his eyes were somewhat tired, there was no doubt that this was a manifestation of the exhaustion of tens of thousands of people pouring into the island and being busy dealing with government affairs.

"Lord, Wen is worthy of the trust." Wen Huanzhang took a few steps forward.

"Old Wen, you're lucky!" Chao Gai's eyes were sharp, and when he got closer, he saw that Wen Huanzhang's temples were also slightly white, Yu was several years old before coming to Jeju Island, and he was a little ashamed in his heart, so he walked a few steps quickly and held his hands.

On the left-hand side, Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, and Li Qingzhao bowed down and performed ten thousand blessings.

Hu Sanniang, who is fully armed on the right, is in a flower posture, and Yelu Tali is greeting with fists.

Old acquaintances met and exchanged pleasantries.

Wen Huanzhang has a lot of things to report, and it is difficult to talk when he sees that there are too many people here. He warmly invited Chao Gai and several ladies to the temporary Taishou Mansion.

Before leaving, Chao Gai instructed Chen Hu, Yu Tai and others to lead the team to assist in the defense. Wen Huanzhang also asked several protégés to lead people to organize the people to disembark and settle down.

After a group of people are gone!

The port of Nanshan became lively, under the organization of Wen Huanzhang's protégé. More than 100 people on the ship boarded the ship one after another to settle the village. There are pre-built houses, living utensils and rammed earth walls.

The people who migrated first enthusiastically helped with their luggage. Not to mention, there are many people who know each other, and suddenly they came to an island to meet happily. There are these people who say how good the island is, so that the people's hearts are at ease.

Li Jun, the mixed sea dragon, and Ruan Xiaowu, the short-lived Erlang, also commanded the sailors and sailors to start carrying grain and other materials, and sent them to the granary for registration and storage.

Twenty or thirty large ships were carrying grain, cattle and other necessities.

On the other side, Wen Huanzhang first reported to Chao Gai the number of people on the island. There were more than 60,000 soldiers and more than 60,000 mouths, plus tens of thousands of cattle and horses. The daily consumption of food is very large, at least 3,000 stone.

If it's a month, half a year will be terrible!

Wen Huanzhang counted the scalp of the account, and his face couldn't help but say worriedly: "Lord, from spring plowing to maturity next year, it is estimated that it will not be self-sufficient until June, and the food consumption will be too amazing for eight or nine months. No, there are 30,000 or 40,000 more, and food is a problem. ”

"Yes, immigration can be slowed down." Chao Gai also realized the seriousness of the matter, and after thinking about it, he made a decision: "First transport a few trips of grain, at least hundreds of thousands, and have enough reserves to deal with emergencies." ”

Just thinking about another question, he also found it tricky: "It's only eight or nine months that the land is free, and it is definitely not enough to just grow vegetables such as peppers." ”

At this time, Li Qingwan pulled Chao Gai's clothes and said a fool about trivial matters.

"Have you forgotten the sweet potato, the potato?"

"Oh, look at my brain, how did I forget this stubble?"

When Chao Gai heard about these two crops, he was immediately overjoyed, and the climate on the island is not too cold in winter, which is very suitable for the cultivation of two crops. However, sweet potatoes and potatoes can be planted in the soil as long as they sprout on their own.

Eight or nine months is enough time to mature. It just solves the problem of idle land and can also fertilize the soil, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

"Lord, do you have a good way?" Wen Huanzhang felt Chao Gai's expression.

"Strategist, I did think of it, let's say it in private, we want to keep it secret." Chao Gai looked at the people around him, but finally didn't say it in public. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are important weapons of the country, and they should not be publicized to the outside world for the time being. Especially on Jeju Island, it is close to Goryeo, so as not to cause extraneous complications.

"My lord, the new people must also accept employment to help build houses or cultivate land, sow vegetable seeds, and labor in exchange for food."

"Well, that's a pretty good idea."

"In addition, the island is rich in resources and is divided into several areas."

……

Wen Huanzhang is a veteran with rich experience in government affairs, and from the first day he came to the island, he sent people around to reconnoiter and thoroughly understand the situation on the island.

This giant island is indeed a treasure land, the pasture on Jeju Island is extremely famous in history, when Mengyuan was vast, and the northern land was mostly grassland, but it still took a fancy to the superior conditions on this island, and this place was levied as a horse farm to raise good horses. You can see how fertile the pastures are in the southeast.

In addition, there are many 100-year-old trees on this island, and there are many centuries-old trees that have survived the volcano, and the number is quite gratifying. When Tamna was not yet occupied by Goryeo, the Goryeo Kingdom asked Tamna to donate timber to build a long-distance ship to the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that Chao Gai Shuaijun has landed on the island to occupy it, although these timbers cannot be used for shipbuilding immediately, but after three or two years, it will inevitably make great contributions to the cause of Chao Jiajun's naval navigation, but there are countless medicinal materials of all kinds.

In addition, there is an abundance of seafood in this area!

On the east side of the island, three to five thousand natives live by fishing and continue their race. Especially as a volcanic island, it is very rich in various stone resources.

It can be said that this island is a treasure island!

When Wen Huanzhang reported on the situation on the island, everyone came to a building complex. More than 20 meters of the main road, the houses on both sides are arranged neatly, and there are a number of alleys, at a glance, this layout is the scale of a large county.

"Lord, do you think a city can be built here?" Pu Wenying asked next to him.

Chao Gai knew that the other party knew a lot about feng shui, and when he looked around, he found something special. Not only is the terrain much higher, but you can look down on the seaside and the surrounding situation. The point is that there are still large piles of stone piled up, the convoy is transporting the stone back, and the smoke and dust are filled in the distance, there should be a stone quarry.

The terrain is high and open, and it is convenient to obtain materials.

I can't find fault at all, Chao Gai is no exception, and nodded approvingly: "Mr. has a unique vision, this place is really good, just build a city here." Urban planning and the city walls go hand in hand, and the city walls are more important. ”

Wen Huanzhang heard what Chao Gai said, and asked with some doubts: "Well, lord, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers on the island, are you worried about Goryeo?" ”

"The Goryeo State bullied the weak and feared the hard, and the shipbuilding technology was not good. If you beat him, you won't come back. My worries are only in the southeast, and I have to guard against them. As he spoke, Chao Gai's gaze turned to the sea to the southeast.

There is a Wa kingdom there, and it is also a country that the Chinese people hated in later generations.

Wen Huanzhang guessed that it was probably the Wa Kingdom, but he didn't say much, but returned to the topic: "Please ask the lord to officially name the island and name the city that is about to be built." ”

Chao Gai didn't refuse, and after thinking about it, he made a decision: "Looking south of Jiangshan is Shandong, and the base camp of my Chao family army is in Jeju." As a base here, it is better to call it Jeju Island. The city that is about to be built is Jibei City. Congratulations to Wen Taishou, Pu Tong sentenced. ”

After that, he clapped his hands, Han Shizhong, and Li Yi held a purple official uniform embroidered with beasts, black gauze hats, official seals and other outfits in both hands.

"It's... This ......" Wen Huanzhang and Pu Wenying took the letter of appointment and looked at each other.

"It's our own!" Chao Gai smiled and said only this one sentence.

"The subordinate will receive the order, and he will live up to the trust." Wen Huanzhang and Pu Wenying were shocked, and solemnly took the official uniforms with both hands, their voices sonorous and powerful.

From this moment on, they have nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty at all!
