Chapter Seventy-Nine: Lack of People...
How could Miss Qin lie? No, how could she lie to people? That is simply impossible, right! So Miss Qin said that this is not a difficult matter, it is the truth!
The Han refugees want to survive, not only the slave traders have all kinds of work, but the refugees themselves are also struggling for survival, so in addition to the things that the slave traders do, there are a very large number of refugees who have traveled long distances to the banks of the East Yellow River, and some of them have found a place to live and stayed, and basically all the refugees still chose to go to the wharf and slave traders on the side of the East Yellow River
First of all, this is related to the advertisements made by slave traders, and the lack of people in the Great Song Dynasty is a well-known thing in the whole continent, and the second is that the slave traders have changed their methods, that is, their business strategies, in the past, they needed to sign a deed of sale, but now they don't need to pay, you have the money to pay, and you don't have to pay if you don't have money, anyway, when you get to the opposite side, the Great Song Dynasty will also send it, of course, there is good luck, and you don't stop doing things but charge half or a small part!
The profits of the slave traders are very large, not to mention this for the time being, the Great Song Dynasty costs a hundred taels of silver for a person, and the slave traders basically only need to find a fixed point to accept people, and then use all kinds of ships to send it, how much can it cost?
So Miss Qin is telling the truth, the Qin family went directly to the edge of the East Yellow River after receiving the news of their eldest lady, and when they arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, the Qin family seriously made a big signboard, which can be described as extremely serious, it only took a short morning to be overcrowded, the Qin family was very busy at the beginning, and then they simply didn't care about it, as long as they were healthy and able to work, get on the boat!
The Qin family is very relaxed, they don't care about their own affairs or something, in short, they are delivered!
Of course, Xiao Zheng didn't know all the ways of this, and he was stupid and thankful, and Qin Wanru was embarrassed to say it clearly, then hide it, there is nothing anyway, right!
In fact, it didn't take half a day, the speed of the fourth-level battleship was often fast, and the time had not yet reached noon, and the fourth-level combat skills had already sent Xiao Zheng and the others to a place where they could see Qiong Island, and from a distance, what they saw was the small peak that was not too steep in the north of Qiong Island, and beyond the small peak, there was a more obvious mountain, if you look at it on the map, this is the north and south mountains above Qiong Island, and the mountain on the south side of Qiong Island is obviously more than a little higher than the north mountain, and it is also more than a little bigger!
"This is Joan Island?"
Everyone obviously felt that this Qiongdao was a little different from what they thought in their heads, why was it like this?
"It should be!" Xiao Zheng was a little helpless, and where everyone was helpless, there always seemed to be a kind of rugged feeling in the appearance of Qiong Island, and it seemed to reveal the slightest sharpness, but he just couldn't feel any thoughts related to 'Qiong'
After waiting for almost half an hour, the battleship docked, and as expected, the news of Xiao Zheng's arrival had reached Qiong Island, there was no battle flag for hunting in the wind, but there were two rows of soldiers, fully armed, not to mention more spirit, standing in front was Qing'er and a Great Song general, it was actually a Lan Ying general!
"I've seen the Marquis!" Guan Hai saluted according to the courtesy, and Xiao Zheng was the horse of the two countries, and the title was high
"The general's words are serious, and many things in the future will depend on the general's help!" Fortunately, Xiao Zheng's vision has already understood these etiquettes this time, otherwise it would definitely be difficult to do this time!
"Qing'er has seen Childe!"
"Yes, let's talk as we go!" Xiao Zheng nodded, just got off the boat, Qiong Island gave Xiao Zheng a pretty good feeling, the lush trees covered almost the entire island, for a person who came over, the environment is the most important
"Marquis, please!" Guan Hai personally took the lead, Xiao Zheng and he walked side by side, because he took the lead, so side by side, if the situation was different, then Guan Hai would have to slow Xiao Zheng half a step behind, speaking of the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty is sometimes very troublesome, such as now!
"General's surname?"
"The last general's surname is Guan, and the single name is a sea character!" Guan Hai replied neither humbly nor arrogantly
"General Guan doesn't have to be like this, presumably the military also knows that the kid is actually what the military said, if it weren't for the identity of this marquis, the army would also salute when he saw General Guan!"
"Hehe, thank you Marquis for your kindness, but the etiquette cannot be overcome!" Guan Hai smiled slightly, indicating that he already understood Xiao Zheng's meaning, but it should not be too simple to understand and implement.
"Then General Guan tell me about some of the situations on this Qiong Island, I have just arrived, and I don't understand many things, and I will inevitably ask General Guan for advice in the future!"
"I wonder what the Marquis wants to know?"
"First of all, it's naturally safe, I've heard for a long time that there was an underworld raging on this Qiong Island, and now that I'm stepping on it again, are there still people from the underworld who threaten the islanders?"
"At this point, the general must be overly worried!" Guan Hai pondered for a moment and said: "When the underworld was cleaned up on the island, the Tang and Song dynasties joined forces to dig three feet into the ground, and then specially invited the organ master to inspect all the complex horns on the island with the things of the organ, and some people from the underworld appeared at the beginning, but after several encirclements and explorations, there is actually almost nothing on Qiong Island today."
"Uh, I don't know what General Guan means?"
"Flying insects and the like may be a little, but whether it is a beast or a bird and all the large beasts have been killed, the marquis also knows that although the vitality of the beast is weak, it can also be replenished for the soul clan, and the corpses of these beasts will also be used by the corpse clan, so there is nothing else on the island now except for the human race!"
"This is good, this is good, the province is worried about the safety of the islanders!" Xiao Zheng rubbed his nose, he didn't expect that this Qiong Island could basically be said to be a 'dead island' now, and in such a big place, there were not even beasts and birds
"The marquis doesn't have to worry, when Qiongdao is developed and the city is built, it will be introduced at that time, these are not a big deal!" Guan Hai didn't care, but how could the original and the introduced be at a glance?
"Tell me how the project is doing now?"
"According to the progress drawn on the Marquis's map, the galloping road that runs through the east and west in the middle has been opened, and the general of the Tang Dynasty has already met with the Tang Dynasty a few days ago, and now the second gallop road is starting!"
"Is it so slow?" Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, the drawings he drew were based on the gallop road that ran through, and then opened the second north-south gallop road at the highest point of the two mountains in the north and south, so that the huge Qiong Island was drawn a cross, and the buildings and facilities on the two mountains Xiao Zheng was not in a hurry, after all, Xiao Zheng still had to complete the task of the academy most of the time, and there were not many opportunities to come to Qiongdao
"The marquis doesn't know, the reason why this gallop is slow to open, firstly, because Qiongdao has always been covered by dense forests, the situation is more complicated, during which many big trees were encountered, according to the marquis's instructions, it is natural to get out of the way, and secondly, there are too few people, although many trees are to be pulled off by a strong rhinoceros, but most of them still have to rely on manpower to clean up, so the speed is a little slow."
"Childe don't worry, now that the number of residents on Qiong Island has increased, the next gallop will only take twenty days at most!" Qing'er said softly, but this time is still not short!
Qing'er came out by herself one day first, so it has been at least more than a month since the opening of the Chi Road, and now it is already September, when will it be after the Chi Road is opened?
"Maybe it won't be used in 20 days, but now the population is growing very fast, and the two roads can be opened in half a month, and by February next year at the latest, this road can be opened!" Guan Hai gave Xiao Zheng a dose of strengthening, and it will take five months at the latest in February next year at the latest!
In five months, there is still one that connects the top of the north and south mountains, two galloping roads around the mountain, two galloping roads around the island, and the galloping road that connects the galloping road around the mountain and the galloping road that runs through the east and west in the middle
"According to your experience, how many people can be accommodated on Qiong Island?"
"More than 10 million is not a problem, but the population is not so easy to get now, so it depends on the future development!" What Guan Hai said was very real, the only people who met today were Qing'er and the generals of the Great Song garrison, and Xiao Zheng still had to ask Fu Sheng after some details
"How many people are on the island now?"
"100,000 but more and more people have been sent recently, if Childe can, he might as well send more people, so that it can be completed faster!" Qing'er's voice was soft and glutinous, after all, she was professionally trained, and Xiao Zheng was still her only master now, so she naturally spoke softly, that is, Lin Yunqing and the others couldn't help but nod in admiration, with such a sensible servant, it would save a lot of things!
Xiao Zheng turned his head and looked at Qin Wanru, and Qin Wanru looked at Xiao Zheng with a cold gaze, everything was silent
"I see, take me to see where the islanders live now!"
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly, or Guan Hai led the way, these new residents of Qiongdao live close to the foot of Nanshan Mountain, and deliberately avoid the foot of Nanshan Mountain for nearly five miles, in Xiao Zheng's planning, this is indeed a residential area, and it is symmetrical with Datang!
A whole 100,000 people live here temporarily, and those houses are also temporary wooden houses, but what satisfies Xiao Zheng is that these houses are well organized, not panicked at all, and there are even some simple wooden boats on the seaside not far away.
"This place is really small compared to what I've seen along the way!" Yun Shang couldn't help but sigh, in fact, Xiao Zheng also felt deeply, this place is not only far from Nanshan, but also some distance from the roundabout, look at these wooden houses close to the sea, in Xiao Zheng's thoughts, here is to build some legendary 'villas', here is called a big mansion, the scenery is good, the traffic is convenient, no matter where the people are, they will definitely be able to attract a lot of people, but this is not the point, but the 50,000 people here are really a drop in the bucket compared to the vast land of Qiongdao!
