Chapter 435: Return to Jeju Island

The morning sun rises in the east, and the glow is falling!

A fleet of 100 large ships rode the wind and waves. The sailing was smooth for a few days, there were no storms, and there were no surprises, and there were no accidents, and we arrived overseas safely.

Stepping on Jeju Island once again is a completely different atmosphere. What caught my eye was the well-equipped Song people, working in the fields, and the people of the Song Dynasty fishing on the seaside, who greeted warmly when they saw the fleet.

In this situation, it is as if you have come to the overseas state capital of the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention Xu Guanzhong, Guangen, Wu Song and other leaders who have never been here are so excited that they call it magical. Even Wang Jin, Shang Guihua, Li Qingzhao and others have some things that are wrong, and they are almost unrecognizable in less than a year.

Passing by these islands along the way, such as bunkers, the soldiers are ready to fight, and there are more than a few meters high walls around the Nanshan Wharf, which stretches and undulates like a Wolong extending to the peak, and you can only land from the harbor if you want to set foot on the island.

Zhu Wu and Wen Huanzhang led many civil ministers and military generals to greet everyone and greet everyone.

A group of people came to Tamluo City, and first built a family compound next to the government to settle down Sanruan Niangniang, Xu Guanzhong Niang, Xu Ning Niangzi, Zhang Jiaotou's family, etc., and someone sent breakfast to take care of it.

While on the boat, Wang Jin gave everyone a holiday, and each of them was familiar with the island to understand the situation. Lu Zhishen and others, who came to the island first, volunteered to lead the way.

Rao is the first time Xu Guanzhong has seen such a huge island, and it is still occupied and controlled by the cottage. I said in my heart that I was not excited, it was fake, and after settling down, the old lady hurriedly followed the minions. There are also leaders such as Wu Song and Guangen who have this idea.

Everyone walked together, talking and laughing.

"Master, tell us about the benefits of the island."

"Erlang, orange wine

The taste is unique, go, go to the winery. ”

"Hahaha, that's what it likes, how about a certain family want to taste it?"

Originally, there were only seven or eight leaders, plus Lu Zhishen, and Shi Jin had more than a dozen. But along the way, they knocked on the door and shouted, shouted to their peers, or rushed to hear the news.

When I came out of the family compound, there were at least thirty of them, and there were so many of them.

Wang Jin took a few ladies and children back to the strange and somewhat familiar courtyard again. After settling his wife and children, he accompanied his wife to breakfast. Only then did I find Zhu Wu and Wen Huanzhang, it should be said that these two military advisors have not left, drinking tea under the willow tree, waiting to report on the situation on the island.

Taishou Mansion, Wang Jin was invited to the first place to sit down, and a maid served refreshments. Zhu Wuxian, who is mainly responsible for people's livelihood issues, reported: "My lord, the people who came this time are counting, and now there are more than 40,000 households on the island, with a total of 230,000 people. Among them, the young and strong account for 40 percent, the elderly 2 percent, the women 3 percent, and the children 1 percent. A total of 1.3 million ...... of land has been reclaimed on the island."

Wang Jin listened quietly while drinking tea without interrupting. He knew a little bit about the number of people on the island according to the population statistics of each migration, and he was also worried about the ratio of men and women, but he hadn't been here for almost a year, and he didn't know a lot of things.

It was a delightful year for 180 newborns to be born. Since the attack on the island, the attitude of the stubborn Jurchen women has gradually reversed, and the number of married Han Chinese as wives has gradually increased. The Tamna people have basically integrated into the Song system and become the Tamna people outside the Han people.

More than 30,000 cattle have been transported from the base camp. The household registration with arable land is in place, and the rest are all grazing in the horse farm grassland. With an abundance of labor, the island is dirty

The land is also vigorously exploited.

In addition to the fertile land on the plains, the people who had taken refuge chose to settle on the island. And we can't cut down forests to make land, and settle for the next best. According to the facts, more than 200,000 acres of terraced fields have been reclaimed.

Large areas of mountains are distributed according to the mu, and vigorously support the planting of mulberry hemp, fruit forests, etc. There are also plans for fishing and aquaculture, and many of the affiliated islands have been turned into salt pans, and wineries and arsenals have been built on the islands......

All walks of life on Jeju Island are in ruins, but everyone who has not been allocated land has something to do, and they can make money to support themselves. In addition to Tamna Castle, construction began on two castles behind him.

In addition to the demographic aspect, the construction of the island.

Regardless of the military aspect, education and health are the top two priorities, and children between the ages of six and 14 on the island are currently required to go to school to read and write. Illiterate people over the age of 16 must come to the lecture if they have time. In terms of sanitation, except for the construction of public toilets and the introduction of laws, the sanitary environment must not be disturbed. Pick the right personnel to train and become medical staff to treat diseases and save lives......

……

"Okay, Jeju Island has become my Chinese territory." Wang Jin listened to Zhu Wu's gushing report and affirmed the work of the two military advisors.

Zhu Wu didn't dare to take credit, and waved his hand with a smile: "The reason why it is so smooth is thanks to the Lou County Order and Shen County Order and others sent by the lord." With them joining, Wen Taishou and I have lightened our work and the government decree has been smooth. ”

Lou County Order? Shen County Order? Wang Jin was stunned, and then understood that it was the group of talents in Jiangnan. As soon as I inquired, Lou Minzhong and Shen Shou made a county order, responsible for organizing manpower to be responsible for the construction of the new county seat. Huan

Yi and others are also good, serving as county officials, and the position of chief bo.

At the end of Zhu Wuhui's report, Wen Huanzhang also talked about his responsible side: "Lord, it is currently the busy time for spring ploughing. Last autumn, nearly 3 million stone of grain was harvested. As long as the wind and rain are good, there is no problem in feeding 500,000 people. ”

Wang Jin frowned when he heard this: "Hey, you can't rely on the sky and wait for the wind and rain to be smooth!" It is necessary to conduct more field trips to understand natural disasters, open ditches, and prevent flood disasters. The two of them pay more attention to this kind of talent. Of course, I have already sent people to look for this kind of talent in the Great Song Dynasty and send them to the island. ”

"Yes, the main merit is long-term." Wen Huanzhang and Zhu Wu responded in unison.

"Don't pat yourself on the back and keep talking." Wang Jin scolded with a smile. Wen Huanzhang said succinctly about the finances of Jeju Island last year.

Since the island was just occupied last year, it is all maintained by cottages.

The amount of money consumed is terrifying, but the potential is huge. Since the beginning of last year's winter, the monthly tax revenue of Tamna City has also been 500 guan, and the two months by the end of the year are 800 guan and 1,000 guan respectively. Until this year, the agricultural tax and commercial tax began to increase exponentially.

Last month, it was already as high as more than 3,000.

This is still the unstable situation for most people, otherwise the number will double. The tax can also indirectly prove that the island is getting better and more prosperous. Ordinary people have money in their pockets, and at the latest by the end of the year, they can come to the government to buy land certificates, and the allocated houses have become completely private property.

Wang Jin was very satisfied with the development of the island, and he was even more concerned about the fact that there were more than 2 million stones of grain, burlap, and silk in the island's treasury. Hundreds of cow and horse skins, bow and arrow weapons

Preparations are piled up.

Among them, 200,000 stones were sent to Tsushima Island for hoarding, and more than 30,000 people participated in the construction. More than 10,000 troops were stationed on the island one after another, attacking the island at any time.

Wang Jin chatted with the two military advisors until noon and had a general understanding of the situation on the island. The number of personnel, the training of the army, etc., do it in mind.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles!

Originally, Wang Jin wanted to go back to have lunch with his wife, but Zhu Wu used the reason that he had just come the day before and it was not suitable to start fire. Sent officials, maids invited several ladies and sons, together with the families of the chiefs, to have a reunion dinner in the Taishou Mansion.

In the afternoon, Xu Guanzhong, Wu Song, Guangen and others returned. gathered in the Taishou Mansion to talk about what they had seen and heard, and at dusk, they went to Liangshan Cottage together.
