The giant ship of the Li Chamber of Commerce sailed recklessly on the sea, and no amount of huge waves could stop it.

Layers of waves were beating helplessly, but the ship was still as stable as a mountain, and not many pirates dared to take advantage of the Li Chamber of Commerce. Who didn't know that the Li Chamber of Commerce said they were merchants, but in fact they were pirates.

To rob him would be to send him to his doorstep.

Therefore, Yang Yuan had a smooth journey since he boarded the merchant ship, and he arrived at Jeju Island in less than a month.

The dusk at sea spreads directly to the sea surface, like golden silk, soft and graceful, with an indescribable softness.

The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the sparkling sea, outlining a magnificent scenery. The sailors taking a break in shift sit on the deck in twos and threes, looking at the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky in the distance, talking and laughing.

It's a rare moment of leisure after a hard day's work.

"This time I went to sea, I never expected it to be so smooth. I only lost two big food horses. It's really God's insurance!"

The boatswain breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yang Yuan and other veterinarians who came on land, and said: "Thanks to you, if in the past, nearly half of these horses would have been lost when they arrived in Jeju, plus the acclimatization, a hundred horses,

Leaving thirty horses behind is already a blessing!"

"Here, how far is Jeju Island?" Yang Yuan was a little impatient on the boat. It felt really uncomfortable to have his legs off the ground.

"It's not far away. It only takes half a day and we'll be there!"

"This Jeju Island has tens of thousands of acres of land, and it looks huge. The island covers a vast area, and it takes several days to walk from east to west! We are considered lucky. The governor said that as long as the horses cross the

If it is doubled, each person will be rewarded with ten acres; if it is quadrupled, each person will be rewarded with one hundred acres..."

The boatswain said with an envious look.

"What if it's Juvenile?" Yang Yuan continued to ask.

"Pah -" Suddenly, he received a slap on the head, "You kid, don't be so ambitious!"

At some point, the captain came over and looked at the sea in trance.

Jeju Island has more than 1,840 square kilometers, and the cultivated land area accounts for about 29% of its total area. One square kilometer is equal to 1,500 acres. This nearly 30% of the cultivated land area represents the total area of ​​Jeju Island.

There are at least 800,000 acres of arable land.

Li Jia wanted to open up wasteland and cultivate land, but he had more than enough ambition but not enough energy, but it was all wasted purely on raising horses.

Along the way, Yang Yuan always thought that Jeju Island was a desolate and inhabited island. After landing on the island, he realized that compared with the cities in Lingnan, it was no less impressive.

I don't know when, a city stood on Jeju Island, about two feet high, with a spacious avenue leading directly to the dock outside the city. Countless pedestrians, porters, and merchants were walking on it like ants, and it was bustling.

very.

The most impressive thing is the pier. Unlike the pier in Panyu, the pier here is very clean. Even the porters have white faces and clean hands. The red glow on their faces indicates that they are well-fed and well-clothed.

After getting off the boat, someone helped unload the cargo. Even the horses were helped to land slowly and led to the east of the island. I heard that there was good pasture there.

"Thank you for your hard work. We have already prepared wine and meat. Let's go quickly!"

They were greeted by a young man in his twenties. He did not wear official robes, but he seemed to be a master and was very enthusiastic. The captain was a little flattered, and his face was full of joy.

Yang Yuan was just a young veterinarian, so he couldn't care less about these lively and exotic piers, which dazzled him.

"It's been almost half a year, and my husband finally thought of Jeju Island and this horse ranching land!"

Looking at the horses disembarking one after another, Mo Yuan had tears in the corners of his eyes.

The rebels were saved. Mo Yuan was very grateful to Li Langjun, but then he was tricked by Li Langjun to come to this island for no reason. He said that he was going to form a cavalry and asked him to lead the troops. He said that he would train here.

So, with hundreds of fellow villagers, Mo Yuan came to this island, and together with the Han people, Japanese people, etc. who were wandering here, they began to work hard to reclaim the wasteland.

Fortunately, every half month, there will be a fleet from the south bringing supplies or immigrants, allowing this Jeju City to be slowly built.

Korean ginseng and furs from the North, Korean ginseng and furs from the Khitan, Japanese swords and fans from the South, and books, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings from the Zhou Dynasty all came here to form a big market.

As for the Tamna royal family on the island, they have long been driven to the mountainous area in the center of the island, and there are not many people there anyway.

Fortunately, there was an old man named Chen Shen who had been on the island for a long time. He was an envoy to Khitan in the past and had been wandering on the island for decades. His name was Chen Shen. With his help, the city of Jeju was barely built.

I originally wanted to lead troops to fight, but in the end

"Before coming to Jeju Island, Governor Qian warned me that if there is any shortage, just tell me that Lingnan will provide it!" The captain looked at the city and said happily.

"There is nothing lacking. Caravans come every month. What is lacking now is people. Even if I send people to Khitan to buy some slaves and recruit Han people in Korea and Japan, there will still be only more than 3,000 people. This

How can we defend such a huge island?"

Mo Yuan complained.

"Look, I have brought you hundreds of fine food horses. The Governor has high hopes for you, and also for Jeju Island..."

"This is the letter brought to you by the Governor!"

Hearing this, Mo Yuan felt warm in his heart. Finally, Governor Li took the letter seriously and read it again when he returned home.

Back in the study, Governor Li's letter laid out urgent tasks.

First, two thousand households must be recruited to cultivate 100,000 acres of land and build granaries, so that Jeju Island is not just a horse ranching land, but a granary of Lingnan.

Second, go to Shandong and other places to recruit Han people. There is less land and more people there, allowing the Han people in Jeju Island to occupy an absolutely dominant position.

Third, among the recruited Han people, Khitan people, and Korean people, select some with better talents and train them to become cavalry. The number should not be less than a thousand.

Third, cooperate with caravans to open up Japan, let Lingnan merchants enter, recruit some soldiers, and open some gold and silver mines.

Wait, no wonder this caravan is a little unusual.

He recalled that when the fleet came this time, they did not bring any goods. Instead, they transported a lot of weapons and hundreds of strangely dressed people. Could it be that they were planning to go to Japan?

"Why do you want to go to Japan?" After arriving at Jeju Island by boat, he had just rested and his brain was still groggy. When he heard Dutou said that he was going to Japan, Zhang Li stood up immediately and said in surprise.

"Japan has a lot of gold and silver mines, but the Governor's Mansion doesn't have much surplus food!" Taoist Master Miaoshi, Dutou, Xiling, shook his fly whisk, glanced at the crowd, and said softly:

"You have been working with me for many days, and you have received a lot of rewards from the Governor's Mansion. Although it is more remote this time, there is no danger, and the rewards are higher!"

"How high can it be?"
