One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 235 Unified Songbai Island
In the blink of an eye, it has been three months since Songbai Island became unified again and Xiaoheling became the monopoly on Songbai Island.

The revenge of the big slave traders that Matsurize had been waiting for never came.

Everyone in the leadership of Xiaohe is saying, including people like Tam and Dinis, who are also trying to persuade Song Lize to build a country first, maybe the big slave traders are already persuaded, and they don’t want to lose troops and waste money and food on Songbai Island in the future.

Song Lize was also a little moved by what was said, not to mention whether the big slave traders from the outside world would come to Songbai Island or not. Today's Songbai Island continues to use the management model of a territory like Xiaohe Territory, which is no longer suitable.

Moreover, today's Songbai Island, especially in the past three months after the unification of Songbai Island, Xiaohe Ling's planning for the area in Songbai Island has changed a lot, whether it is military or administrative, it is basically the same. Putting on the kingdom hat.

For example, today's Songbai Island Xiaohe Territory, except that the capital is still Xiaohe City, the names and structures of other areas have changed.

All the local administrative units under it must be named along the name of the new three-level administrative agency established by Matsurizawa.

The names of these three levels of local administrative agencies formulated by Matsurize, the highest is the county, the next is the town below it, and finally the lowest level is the village, which is the third level of county, town and village.

And above this, there is another level, but if it is not included in this, it is Xiaohe City, which will be the capital now and in the future.

From now on, on Songbai Island, there will be only Xiaohe City called the City.

Of course, all these are just some preliminary changes made for the founding of the country. If Xiaohe Territory continues to expand and become stronger in the future, everything is possible.

Originally, the four basic towns of Xiaoheling, Daolang Town, Jiefang Town, Xinsheng Town, and Goat Town, were all upgraded to county-level units.

Jiefang Town also annexed Sanchuan City, the original military defense unit, and changed its name to Sanchuan County.

On the other islands, there are very few county-level administrative agencies, that is, Shipwreck County and Zhangzi County in the east of Songbai Island. Shipwreck County has been reduced from a city to a county, and Zhangzi County has also been upgraded to a level.

There is also Sizi County in the north of Songbai Island.

Finally, there is the original land boundary of Megan's territory, the most primitive land boundary, which is Stewart City.

Matsurize changed the name of this place to Megan County, which governs Megan Port, which was also renamed behind it, and the surrounding towns and villages.

In the past three months, Matsurize felt that the biggest gain was neither fame nor profit, but a real thing, a big thing.

That is, the census of Songbai Island, and now Songbai Island is completely under the rule of the Xiaohe leader.

Even so, it is still a little difficult to count the population of the whole island. In just three months, the total population, origin, and willingness of the investigation are all clear. Matsurize is still very proud of the administrative staff of Xiaohe. .

So far, in 35 of the Haiyuan calendar, Songbai Island has a total population of [-] million.

This number has increased by 10,000+ compared with the population data during the rule of the Songbai Kingdom many years ago.

In fact, if it weren't for the chaotic war between Xiaohe Territory, King Territory and Megan Territory, and the subsequent unification war, this number would have been 10,000+!

Faced with such a large population, taking advantage of the end of the unification war at this time, a large number of slave populations were increased, and the opportunity of a big victory was also taken advantage of.

Song Lize has made a relatively large adjustment to the population distribution of the whole island, that is, most of the population is concentrated in the south of Songbai Island, in Xiaohe City, and in counties and towns such as Daolang County and Sanchuan County.

This is not to say that Sunken County in the east of Songbai Island, Sizi County in the north, and Meigen County in the west will not develop.

These land boundaries are still very good, even better than the land boundaries near Xiaohe City, but for the sake of stability and safety, we can only grievance these land boundaries first, and slowly develop them in the future.

In Xiaohe City, the dust is flying, and there is a big fight here. It is no secret that Xiaohe is going to establish a kingdom, and everyone on the island knows it.

For this reason, a more majestic capital, a more spectacular royal capital, is very necessary.

At this time, there were more than 30 slaves in Xiaohe Territory. Most of these people were the defeated in this and the last war, their families, and people who agreed with them.

Of course, there are also those who refuse to change after being taught, and have been working as slaves in Xiaohe.

At this time, Matsurize started construction on the expansion of Xiaohe City and the construction of the palace. This was also because he did not want to pay a higher price in the future and did not want to violate the laws he promulgated.

In Xiaohe Territory, the trading of slaves is only prohibited. To put it simply, slaves are brought back to the country and private sales are not allowed. This is also the reason for the enmity with overseas slave traders.

And the status of slavery in Xiaohe Territory is not permanent, and he can be changed through his own efforts.

According to Matsurize's estimation, in a few months, more than half of the 30 slaves will be freed.

And at this time, taking advantage of their current status, they can be squeezed for free, why not do it, and doing so will also help to relieve their slave status faster.

The key is to save Bailey. If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive it is. For Xiaohe Ling and for the future kingdom, Matsurize has also done the limit within the scope of the rules.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is, Matsurize will not violate his original intention. For example, in order to save Bailey, he blocked the slaves' upward channels, and even redeveloped Songbai Island into the largest slave trading market in the New World. , these are absolutely impossible.

Three months have passed, and Xiaohe led the founding of the country, and Xiaohe led senior officials and generals to all official classes and even the entire Songbai Island.

This is not because of how good the internal affairs of the Xiaohe Territory are. After three months, the civilians and even the surrendered officials and nobles still cannot feel it immediately.

As for why, this is the work of the dragon, especially the county magistrate of Sunken Ship County Tam-Ariyamin and the magistrate of Megan County Megan-Dinis are the most enthusiastic.

This is actually not difficult to understand, people who were originally hostile, how could they not grasp the opportunity to show their loyalty and win credit so easily at this time!

And the second, which is the most important reason, is the peace in the past three months, peace with peace of mind, knowing that peace can last for a long time.

This is one of the biggest feelings that the Xiaohe tie gave to the people of Songbai Island, and it is also the reason why many people and even the officials and aristocrats who were originally in the Megan and King realms all advocate the founding of the Xiaohe collar.
