Great Song Pirate

Chapter 341
Xu Yi nodded his head to express his satisfaction with Jia Qian's handling. At this time, Gao Jun stood up and said, "I have one more thing to report to the lord. We recently fought a battle with a group of mountain barbarians. We are building roads." At that time, I was suddenly attacked by a group of mountain barbarians. According to friends of the Posang tribe, these people belonged to another tribe nearby, and the road leading to the Charcoal Valley passed through their territory. They attacked our road-builders and loggers, and after a few were killed by our road-guard brothers, they attacked our road-builder brothers with all their strength and killed nearly a hundred brothers. , We suffered a lot at first, if not for their delay, I am afraid that the road has been completely repaired by now!"

Xu Yi immediately asked: "How is the situation now? Can you ask Posang's friends for help with this kind of thing!"

"Don't worry, my lord, this matter has been resolved. The Posang tribe is very good friends. After hearing about our incident, they sent some warriors from them to lead us to kill them directly in their tribe and kill the leader of their tribe. People, women and children were all captured, and many of them were killed before they surrendered completely. In order to thank Posang friends, we have handed over all their people to the Posang tribe, and their territory has also returned to Posang The Sang Tribe, and the Posang Tribe, to express their gratitude to us, dispatched their clansmen to provide us with protection and wipe out some remnants of that tribe, so this problem has been solved!" Gao Jun continued.

Xu Yi felt relieved now. As newcomers, they don't have to have conflicts with the old residents here. As long as they want to expand, they will definitely have conflicts of interest with them, the old aborigines. Fortunately, they made friends last time. Otherwise, they will be very troublesome. It seems that it was a very wise decision for him to make friends with Posang last time.

Then Jia Qian reported some other situations here to Xu Yi: "After the hard work of Commander Kong in front of them, we will soon harvest another season of rice. The sugar cane here is growing very well, and we have started to produce a small amount of sugar now. Well, if we have enough food in the future, it would be good to plant a large amount of sugar cane. In the future, we can resell the sugar produced on land, so that we can feed more immigrants.

Moreover, after Danshuizhai began to accept immigrants, it no longer accepts immigrants here for the time being. Except for those who have been assigned to land, most of the immigrants who have been accepted are from the north, and they are not very good at here. Farming, so most of them choose to stay here to work. Many of our places need some manpower, and there is no problem with the placement of these people in the future! "

Xu Yi agrees with what Jia Qian said. He has too many things to develop now. It’s good to have a group of such workers. There are jobs that they can’t finish here. He doesn't have to worry about this problem anymore.

One of Jia Qian's subordinates stood up and said, "There is one more thing, my lord must be very happy. We found a lot of tung trees in the forest here, so we asked those who had been assigned to the fields to collect them all during the off-season. Tung seeds, now we have harvested a large amount of tung seeds, and we are arranging manpower to extract the oil, which will save us a lot of expenses in the future, and we can basically produce tung oil by ourselves now!"

Another piece of good news, Xu Yi was very happy to hear that Taiwan is full of treasures, no wonder later generations call her Treasure Island!Tung oil is an indispensable item for shipbuilding, construction, furniture, bows, and weapons. It is a good deal to start producing this item by yourself now!

"Save some seeds and plant them in large quantities on the nearby mountains that are not suitable for farming. We can harvest more tung oil in a few years. We can't run out. Let's sell it, which is also a good business!" Xu Yi began to arrange his finances. Afforestation campaign.

"It's very good to have a lot of fruits here. Now we can eat a lot of fresh fruits every day. We also sent people to pick a large amount of fruits and feed them to the brothers on the ship. Now our brothers on the ship will have a good time!" Gao Jun added.

Needless to say, Xu Yi also knows that Taiwan's fruits are also very famous products in later generations. Durian, orange, dragon fruit, and banana are all very famous things. If you can't eat these things here, then he really is. Strange!

Qin Huzi and Lei Tong were also present, and after seeing that they had roughly finished speaking, Qin Huzi got up and said: "Several furnaces in our iron factory have been built, and two of them have been put into use. Okay, it needs to be adjusted, but even this kind of steel is much easier to use for making weapons. We have already started to make weapons in small quantities. After the other stoves started to be used, all kinds of steel were continuously shipped from the north during this period. We have already stocked up a lot. The refined iron we currently reserve is enough for us to use for a while, and Mr. Lei even led people to build it. A kind of steel with good elasticity has been produced, which will be enough for Mr. Yang to make bows in the future!"

Xu Yi laughed: "I'm not worried about things in your place. With Mr. Lei and you here, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to use good guys. I'll go and have a look at your place later, and we'll talk about it in detail then! I It also brought a lot of good things this time, and I'll let you all see it later!"

When Xu Yi said something good, it must be a good thing. Although he didn't tell everyone what a good thing it was, these people had already begun to look forward to it. Open their eyes!

And Yang Wenzhong also nodded, and said to Xu Yi: "The things here are going well. These selected carpenters have good understanding. Now many of our family's crafts have been passed on to them, and a small amount of trial production of bows and crossbows has begun. In the past two days, my lord, if you have time, go to my place to see how our Yang family's craftsmanship is!"

"Mr. Lao Yang, I have been thinking about your good things. I will go to your place to see later. The things I brought this time have something to do with you. Not only did I bring you a lot of muscle this time. Tendon, bone glue, and a lot of whalebone. You must not use this kind of thing much. It is very suitable for making bowstrings. In the future, even animal tendons will be left! And this time I invented a few new gadgets. Don’t say that I will steal your job, the thing I made is also a kind of arrow, let’s talk about it!” Xu Yi laughed immediately.

Hearing that Xu Yi had created a new arrow, Yang Wenzhong did not dare to underestimate it at all. After seeing the power of the ballista last time, he had put away his arrogance. This lord is definitely a genius. It's really strange that he can't do anything. Is this lord really a half-immortal like those old subordinates said?
After getting a general understanding of the things here, Xu Yi felt relieved about Jilongzhai. After all, it has been in business for a while. Although many things are not perfect, the skeleton has been built, and future development will not be easy. Why bother him? After he has been busy with the affairs here, he can shift his focus to Danshui. However, since he arrived here first, he still needs to set aside some days to sort out the affairs here before he can go. Danshui Village, anyway, no matter how anxious he is, he may not be able to help much when he goes there.

Then Gao Jun took out a roll of silk cloth and presented it to Xu Yi. Xu Yi took it and asked with a smile, "What is this?"

Gao Jun immediately replied: "This is a map that I have drawn up based on the information collected after I sent people to check within a radius of fifty miles. The nearby mountains and rivers have been marked, and we have also found some hunting trails. , Several tribes around here have also marked their locations, and now present them to the Lord!"

This is a good thing. The terrain here is very different from that of later generations. It is impossible without a map, and the key is to have found out some nearby tribes. If there is a conflict in the future, you will always know what tribe you are attacking. Yes, even if you fight back, you can find the opponent's lair, so you won't be slaughtered by them in the woods.

Xu Yi immediately opened the map and spread it on the table to look at it. This map is incomparable with the maps of later generations, but it can be seen that Gao Jun has put a lot of effort into it. Although the drawing is rough, it can still be seen. I can see a general idea, the hills and rivers above have been drawn, and they have given some names to some places on their own initiative. There is a hill east of Jilong Village, and they named it Jilong Mountain. And the big river near Jilong Village was also named Jilong River by them, and the Charcoal Valley was clearly marked on the map in detail, so that Xu Yi could roughly understand the situation here.

The Jilong River must be the Keelung River of the later generations, but this Jilong Mountain, he is not sure if it is the Jilong Mountain of the later generations. Whatever it is, they have the final say here anyway. People will jump out to correct them, maybe in later generations, Jilong Mountain will be the Jilong Mountain they have designated now.

Xu Yi nodded while looking at it and said: "I have a request for you. You make a large sand table and display all the nearby terrain on the sand table. In this way, it will look more convenient and clearer. If you want to ask Posang friends to help you lead the way, you can go farther. Not only will we build a village here in the future, we will also open up further places. If you don’t know the terrain farther away, you will not be able to go. Don't make detours, you have to take this matter to heart. In addition, you have to be prepared. The things here will be handed over to someone who can rest assured and take over your affairs. I plan to bring you there when I go to Danshuizhai this time. , we brought nearly [-] children this time, all of whom are about to grow up, and you have all seen them, and they will be handed over to you and Zaixing later, I want you to train them into an iron-blooded team, we will Not only must there be a fleet that can sail across the sea, but also an army that can be invincible on land. These children will become people who can lead troops within two years. Now we can take on this task, you and The two Zaixing are the best candidates, this matter cannot be delayed, you should prepare!"

Gao Jun was overjoyed when he heard that, he used to practice martial arts every day, studying military books hard, in order to become a general who can lead an army?Now although Xu Yi reuses him to control the defense of the chicken cage village, he is not familiar with the affairs of the sea, so he can only lead people to do some things on the island. Currently there are only [-] children, but he is confident that he can train these [-] children into an iron army. In addition, Yang Zaixing is better than him in leading troops. With the cooperation of the two of them, with these [-] children, they will definitely be able to pull up the army. He was an army of good fighters, so he hurriedly got up and answered his orders, expressing his obedience to Xu Yi's arrangement.

Of course, good steel must be used on a good blade. Xu Yi understands this truth. He has never thought about digging some talented people from the land. Now he is satisfied with Yang Zaixing. He hopes to rely on Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun. It is a waste of talents to create a team of troops that absolutely belong to him, and it is a waste of talent to keep Gao Jun and the others as sheriffs. He has already begun to think about whether to put them in their proper positions to maximize their use. problem.

Then Xu Yi asked about Kong Qingxi again, wondering how his current situation was.

"After you left here, Commander Kong handed over the affairs here to us. He brought seven boats with 600 people, which was about the same time as you left. He was already anxious to go to sea to work. A few days ago He also sent back a shipment of goods, and occupied a Wailingding Island, cleaned up a nest of pirates on it, and now he has stood his ground, and he wants to do something big there!" Gao Jun said to Xu Yi Said.

Xu Yi laughed immediately. He knew where Wailingding Island was. More than 100 years later, Wen Tianxiang, a famous official in the late Southern Song Dynasty, passed by here. , was escorted to the last stronghold of the Southern Song Dynasty, passed by here, and wrote the poem of Ling Dingyang, the best song through the ages, it is difficult for Xu Yi to know!This is a good place to guard the mouth of the Pearl River. Kong Qingxi is really good at finding places, and he found Wailingding Island in a short while. It seems that he first set his sights on the shipping route from Guangdong to Nanyang, and wanted to make a fortune there!This is also good, the better he does in Guangdong, the more property he will send back, just to ease the current tight financial situation due to the development of Liuqiu Island.

"That's right! Let him do it there. Commander Kong is still a good hand at sea, and there are many islands on the Guangdong Road, and there are plenty of places for him to stay. And I heard from Brother Xue that there are pirates in the sea off Guangnan Road now. Rampant, he has a battle to fight! Inform Commander Kong, let him do a good job, bury his eyeliner in Guangzhou as soon as possible, and find time to bring us a few ships of copper, I will be of great use!" Xu Yi told Gao Jun arrive.
