Great Song Pirate

Chapter 340 Returning to Chicken Coop Village

Finally, after some busy work, Xu Yi once again led a huge fleet out of Dulong Island, bid farewell to Qian Laoben and others, entrusted the place to Qian Laoben, and the fleet sailed towards Liuqiu Island .

Yingchun was very excited standing on the boat with Xiao Rulong in her arms. She hadn't left Dulong Island for a long time. This time, her dream finally came true. She could go out to sea with Xu Yi and visit Liuqiu Island, which she had never seen before. Look, and this time I went to settle there in the past, so it's no wonder I'm not happy!

Pioneer is now like a kindergarten, Xiao Jiaojiao has started to learn to walk, Yiqing followed her around, Li Bo also brought his pair of children, and this time the fourteen and five-year-olds who went to Liuqiu Island with the boat Children aged [-] and [-] also boarded this boat, and many people on board touched and looked around in novelty, making the boat a little chaotic. Anyway, they were traveling instead of robbing, and there were two escorting fast boats. Xu Yi simply relaxed, and from time to time he gave free tour guides to those who had never been on the Pioneer.

Daniel is very happy now, he seems to have become the head of the children. The children who come with the boat regard him as the oldest, and they listen to him in everything. They surround him all day long to inquire about Xu Yi's various things, and Daniel does not hide. Tucked in, as long as it's not about secrets, he will tell these children, and listen to a group of children with fascination, thinking in his heart when he will travel with the lord to do something, Daniel is now killing people It's been a long time!They are more determined to practice martial arts well and become powerful characters like big bulls. This is the power of role models, and now a group of violent madmen have already appeared invisibly.

The wind on the sea has begun to cool down, and the south wind has also begun to turn to a northerly wind. Time always passes so fast, Xu Yi feels that he hasn't done much yet, and it's autumn again.

Because of the favorable wind, the boat sailed faster this time than last time. The boat sailed in a straight line instead of going in a zigzag route against the wind. This also saved a lot of time. Of course, it is for cargo ships. For Pioneer, it's still like a snail, and it doesn't even need a half-sail.

After such a long time of hard work, now there are basically no other big forces in the waters between Dulong Island and Liuqiu Island, and they don't have to worry about being attacked by anyone, so the people on board just need to hurry. All right, after several days of sailing, they slowly entered the waters of Fujian Road. Wang Feng, who had already heard the news, sent a boat to catch their fleet and came over to greet Xu Yi himself.

Xu Yi is very concerned about the current situation in Danshui Village. Wang Feng is close and has been there twice, so he knows the situation there better, so Xu Yi asked him to talk about the situation first, and then decide whether to go to Danshui Village or Chicken first. Cage.

"Returning to the lord, the Danshui Village basically went smoothly according to your arrangement, and the immigrants began to move there. This time, there was no rush to allocate land to them. Gao Xu first used these immigrants to build roads and move several nearby settlements All connected by roads, and then distributed.

Now the main problem there is the troubles of the patients. There is thatched barren beach, water everywhere, there are a lot of mosquitoes, and many people suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. Within the scope of control, Yang Hong and some doctors are working day and night to treat these sick people. Not many people died, and it seems that it will last for a while!I have already sent a lot of things like quicklime there, and I have also purchased a few batches of herbs and the like, which should be enough for Doctor Yang and the others to use.

There are basically no other major issues. This time, the lord moved his wife and sons here. The facilities in Danshui Village are not as good as those in Jilong Village. I think it is better to settle in Jilong Village first. After Danshui Village is stabilized, come here again. Not too late! "Wang Feng took the initiative to suggest to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi nodded, and decided to go to Jilong Village to settle the people first, and then go to Danshui Village. He was not afraid of contracting the disease, but worried about the safety of Yingchun and the children. He was unwilling to take such a risk. Let them take risks, he alone is enough.

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Feng said that Fujian Road was very uneasy during this period, and many rioters were making troubles everywhere on Fujian Road, making the common people who were not so easy at first even more miserable and starving, which made their actions easier. It is very convenient to take in refugees. Xu Yi asked him to take in as many refugees as possible. In addition, he bought more autumn food to prepare for Liuqiu Island, and things at sea cannot be slowed down. Now they are developing very fast, and there are not many places to spend money. Few, the hungry people settle down, it seems that the cost is not much, but it is an astronomical figure when gathered together, Wang Feng immediately agreed, and Xu Yi asked him to pay more attention to his subordinates, he is too busy alone, so pay attention Finding the talents around him, assigning things to do is much more efficient than him doing it alone, Wang Feng also agreed to them one by one, and now he has found two assistants to help him, each responsible for a task, let Xu Yi rest assured.

After sending Wang Feng away, Xu Yi ordered the fleet to go to Jilongzhai for all ships carrying people and supplies needed by Jilongzhai, and all those carrying goods from Danshuizhai to divert to Danshuizhai, and the fleet was divided into two groups. Second, his Pioneer escorted some ships to Jilong Village, and the remaining ships were escorted to Danshui Village by the other two fast boats.

After the fleet passed Wang Feng's island, it began to disband. The original large fleet suddenly became much smaller, but its speed was also faster.

This channel has been passed several times, and the sailors on the ship controlled it very well. They didn't need to worry too much. They saw the coastline of the most northwest corner of Liuqiu Island two days later. The people on the ship guessed when they saw the land appeared. Liuqiu Island had already arrived, so they all became excited, and surrounded the people who had been here before, asking this and that, very curious.

Jia Qian, Gao Jun and the others from Jilongzhai had already heard the news that Xu Yi was coming, but they were not sure whether Xu Yi would go to Jilongzhai or Danshuizhai first, but according to the usual practice, Jilongzhai would dispatch The two fast boats were patrolling outside Keelung Bay. In addition, in order to prevent the invasion from outside, Kong Qingxi also arranged a person on duty on the small island at the mouth of Keelung Bay. Therefore, as soon as Xu Yi's fleet appeared outside Keelung Bay, the news Then it passed through the chicken cage village like a relay.

This time, there were not many people who came to meet Xu Yi at the dock, because Xu Yi had told him not to engage in large pick-ups and deliveries, so only a few important people from the stockade rushed to the dock to welcome him.

It has been several months since Xu Yi left here. It was still early summer when he left, but when he came back, it had already entered autumn. Although it was said that it was autumn, he still didn’t feel it at Liuqiu Island. A little bit of coolness, the temperature here is still very high, humid and hot, which makes people who are new here somewhat uncomfortable, but they are very pleasantly surprised by the scenery here, full of quiet mountains and forests, dense bamboo forests Green and tall, people who come here for the first time immediately fall in love with it.

Xu Yi took his family down to the pier. Jia Qian and the others stepped forward to greet Yingchun and Yiqing, and congratulated Xu Yi on the birth of his precious son. A pair of big bright eyes, looking around without fear, eyes full of doubts, why did you change places just after sleeping?
And Jiaojiao, who is more than one year old, has long been accustomed to this posture of stars and moons, calling grandpa, uncle, and uncle in an immature and vague voice, coaxing these people into grinning Zhile.

After Xu Yi exchanged pleasantries with them, he asked them to arrange the five or six hundred children who came with the boat to live in the stockade. Anyway, a large piece of land was planned here before, reserved for school use, and cleared of immigrants. After leaving the stockade, the place has long been free.

And Jia Qian and the others had already built a spacious house for Xu Yi, and when Xu Yi and his family came to move in, after arranging for manpower to unload the goods, everyone surrounded Xu Yi and the others and walked towards the stockade. Knowing Xu Yi, they knelt on one knee on the side of the road to greet Xu Yi from a distance. After the stockade has been rectified for a period of time, it has changed a lot from the time he left last time. It used to be chaotic. The scene of the village has long since disappeared, the streets are clean and level, and although the houses on both sides are scattered in height and height, they are overall beautiful. Compared with the village built on the hillside of Dulong Island, it looks much neater, and the various functional areas are the same as before. The planning is limited, and there are even a few shops run by Fubo officers in the residential area, ending the unified rationing system here, and it looks more like a town, but it is still in its infancy after all, and it is a little deserted That's all.

The house arranged for Xu Yi is next to the meeting hall in the center of the village. The house occupies a large area. The whole yard is divided into three entrances. The front yard is the place where the guards live, the middle yard is the living room and study room, and the back yard is the living room. It is a small garden and a place where the family members live.

The courtyard wall and the main structure of the house have already used bricks and tiles. It is not necessary to know that there must be local materials here, and the bricks and tiles have been fired. The roof was scraped off, and the style of this house is more like the structure on land. It is not built in the style of stilt houses like other houses, but the ground is raised with lime mixed soil, and The house was tamped and started to build a house on it. What Xu Yi didn't know was that even the plaster used to bond the bricks and tiles was mixed with glutinous rice paste. The fired blue bricks are used to pave the ground with bluestone slabs several inches thick. Although it is not as luxurious as carved beams and painted buildings, it reveals a kind of solemnity. In such a house, with the doors and windows closed, even a mouse will not be able to think about it. Going in, it can be seen how much attention the people here have paid to Xu Yi's arrival this time.

Xu Yi was very satisfied with this kind of house. Although it was a bit more expensive than he imagined, for him, living in such a house was what everyone expected, so he didn't scold anyone for it, but expressed his gratitude to everyone After all, he created this place with his own efforts, and it is only natural that his family can live better. He is not pedantic enough to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers of the lower ranks, and let his wife and children suffer with him.

The utensils in the room are all newly made, and there is basically no need to add anything. Even the cradle is made of high-quality nanmu. Everything has been arranged. What Xu Yi needs to do is just for a few Mrs. Madam just arranged the house, so after going around, Yingchun and the others had chosen their own bedrooms, and it was all over to move in. Li Bo's personal guard immediately took over the courtyard and arranged duties around the gate. .

What Xu Yi is most concerned about now is the progress of various tasks in the stockade. After leaving Yingchun and the others and some maids brought over to tidy up the house in the backyard, he returned to the middle courtyard non-stop, let everyone sit down, and started He inquired about various affairs in Jilong Village in detail.

According to the division of labor, everyone briefly reported on the affairs they were responsible for, and the first thing they were asked was the road to Carboniferous Valley.

"My lord, the road leading to the Carboniferous Valley has basically been opened, but the last section of the road is still being repaired. The original road repairers have now entered the Carboniferous Valley and started building houses there, preparing to mine it in large quantities. As long as the roads are completely repaired, the charcoal can be transported to the Zhaizi workshop area, and we will no longer have to transport charcoal on land or cut wood for burning!" Jia Qian replied first.

Xu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this. He originally thought that the road would be opened at least until the end of the year, but he didn't expect that the road would be opened so soon, so that his military workshop would soon be able to use the charcoal he produced. Complimented them.

"However, we lost a lot of money when we opened this road this time. Because the further we go in, the more poisonous insects and miasma, we lost no less than 500 people when we built this road. It can be said that every step forward If you don't go for a few miles, you will have to pay the lives of twenty or thirty people!"

Xu Yi's heart sank suddenly. He had expected this kind of situation before. He knew the difficulty of building roads in the tropical jungle in a newly developed place, but he didn't expect to lose so many people. This road is also paved with corpses.

"These victims must be buried properly. We can't forget them. This is also the land rent we paid here. We should arrange their families properly, so that they won't lose their support!" Xu Yi ordered with some sorrow. .

Jia Qian quickly agreed, and replied: "These subordinates have already made arrangements. For those who died in road construction, we will bury their bodies in a unified manner, and their families will also give them compensation. Please rest assured, my lord!"
