Chapter 1317 Island
Annan's centrifugal force develops in a V-shaped shape.
At the beginning, as Li Jia took over Annan and restored the Jiaozhou Protectorate, he pursued inaction and ruled the country. The powerful families, the people, and the tribes all followed their own affairs, and the people's hearts gradually became stable.
However, as time goes by, such as changing the land and returning to the current, setting up schools, abolishing tribal chiefs, and disrupting the settlement model...
Under other measures, especially the Honghe area where Jiaozhou is located, after all, the garrison is located, and the measures taken are more decisive.
In particular, the former guru Zhang Miao passed away and the new magistrate Lu Duosun took office, and made drastic reforms, etiquette, clothing, language, and architecture must be in line with the etiquette system and love the Central Plains.
Therefore, in the summer of color, even if you sweat all over, scholars still wear long robes, instead of short and brown clothes.
Under heavy pressure, the chiefs and cave masters who had lost their power were all ill-hearted and undercurrents.
Lu Duosun knew this very well.
He handled government affairs slowly.
After a year in Annan, my impatience was cured by the hot weather, and I didn’t come in vain.
"Just mess around!"
Lu Duosun sneered: "There are three thousand people in Jiaozhou. If you want the imperial court to send another two thousand here, I don't believe these barbarians. Can't they dare to rebel?"
Unlike Zhang Miao's pacification, Lu Duosun pursued iron-blooded reform.
For example, the Baojia system that has been implemented in the Central Plains, Lu Duosun has been popularized in Jiaozhou, Changzhou and Wu'anzhou in one year.
In terms of population, it is naturally clear.
In these three states, Jiaozhou has the largest population, with 53,000 households and more than 145,000 people.
Although the smallest is Wu'an Prefecture, there are nearly 100,000 people.
Changzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Honghe River and has a more fertile land, but there are not many developments, and there are nearly 100,000 people.
In this way, the Dingkou of these three states exceeded 300,000, and the other nine states combined together had at least 500,000.
This is the political achievement that Lu Duosun is preparing to achieve political achievements, improve his strength, and return to the Central Plains.
This time the grain transportation was a preliminary demonstration of the Baojia system and the majesty of Jiaozhou.
"Sea Dragon Army, Sea Dragon Army--"
Lu Duosun thought for a while, frowned, and thought: "Most of Annan is near the sea, so he still has to set up a navy. Guangzhou is still a bit far away."
Nowadays, several states in the north and south of An are closer to Jiaozhou in Lingnan, and it is easier to suppress and suppress rebellions, while the mountains and rivers in the south are rugged, and it is difficult to reform or anything else.
Rather than taking land, it is better to take water.
Having thoughts, he immediately wrote to the court to set up an Annan Navy, or to ask the Hailong Army to set up a branch.
There is too much food in the Annan Protectorate, so it can only be done in batches. It will take more than a month to travel from Annan to Jeju Island.
During this transportation, Zhou Kui discovered that the navy had too little supply land.
Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, and then Jeju Island.
A large number of ships could not be docked for a while, and the ports were full.
Taiban's ship was barely outside the port. If there was a typhoon, it would be a huge loss.
Zhou Kui was busy looking for ports along the coast to share the pressure.
Unfortunately, there are very few good ports and I can't find them for a while.
"Commander!"
At this time, Shi Jiulong came to the yamen and came to ask for a meeting.
"After walking along the way, I found that the Ryukyu Island, which is uninvited, is extremely huge. I am afraid that it is almost the same as Hainan Island, so I can find the port on it."
"Ryukyu?"
Zhou Kui looked at the map, the Ryukyu Island, which had not many outlines, and couldn't help but fall into thinking: "Is it still time?"
"Commander, we just need to clean up a little, moor the ships, and avoid the typhoon!"
Shi Jiulong whispered: "On the way I came, I asked some fishermen, and they said that they were just in front of the Ryukyu Island, and there was a group of islands where they often moored their ships to avoid typhoons."
"I heard that there was a surging outside, but the port was as calm as a place. It was a really good place."
"Hahaha!"
Zhou Kui laughed, patted his chest hard, and said, "Why can't you say such a good place?"
"Without any archipelago, can it be used?"
"It's probably a big deal!"
Shi Jiulong said: "There is no port built, so there are not many ships left, so I have to go to Ryukyu Island to find it, and be prepared for any trouble!"
"You guy is right!"
Zhou Kui nodded and said, "This is only from Annan, there are also from Chameng and Lingnan. It will be harvested in summer in two months. At that time, the grain ships from the Transportation Office will have to stop, and there will be even fewer locations."
Thinking of this, Zhou Kui couldn't help but have a headache.
It is an important matter for his country to transport grain, but it is also an important matter for others to collect taxes and summarize the treasury.
It's all right. A large number of merchant ships and fishing boats have to dock at ports, otherwise taxes will be reduced and fishermen will be affected by disasters. His Sea Dragon Army will have to take the blame, especially when the typhoon is about to come.
"Go, explore the small islands first, and then go to Ryukyu Island."
Zhou Kui gritted his teeth and said, "I will send you five hundred people. I will definitely find three for me within half a month. No, five ports, ports that can avoid typhoons."
"Commander, what do you want to call that small island?" Shi Jiulong said flattered.
"I? I'm a rough man. What can I call you? Or just call it the archipelago?"
Zhou Kui shook his head and said, "Your Majesty likes to expand territory. This island is also a territory. If you ask Your Majesty to name it, we can also repay the merits!"
"Gao, commander makes you a high way!"
Shi Jiulong gave a thumbs up: "I think who dares to say that our Hailong Army is living a life of scattered life and waiting to die? Isn't this an island also a land?"
"Um?"
When Zhou Kui heard this, he immediately had inspiration: "You said the country, by the way, are there fishermen on that island?"
"Not, it's just a place where some fishermen can rest!"
"No, there will be!"
Zhou Kui said in a deep voice and affirmation. He looked directly at Shi Jiulong and said, "I think there must be more than 300 fishermen in so many islands!"
"I am afraid that an island with thousands of people is going to set up a county!"
Shi Jiulong suddenly realized.
The meaning of offering a bare island is completely different from that of thousands of people.
As for how the population comes about?
Simple, near Quanzhou, the coastal area is full of people and land, and there are a lot of poor people. Just get a group of people up, give the land for free, or even buy it directly.
Isn’t it simple to have three hundred households, money and the coercion and inducement of the army?
Shi Jiulong was even more prepared to take out three thousand tanzhs and get five or six hundred households directly, which was the surprise.
"I understand!" Shi Jiulong said seriously: "I will definitely screen carefully."
"Um!"
Zhou Kui smiled and nodded, patted his shoulder, and said, "Although there is nothing in a county, it's okay to add some fief to you. After you can't get the good luck, you, the baron, may be promoted to viscount!"
"The last general will be determined to live up to the expectations of the commander!"
