Chastity Layman

Chapter 775 Expedition

"Young one, disband the incense club immediately."

Huans Island Hammer's attitude was humble, and he was even a little frightened. The biggest difference between him and other Fan tribe leaders is that he has read a lot of books over the years. The more Han books he reads, the deeper his understanding of Han people, and the more he knows the huge difference between Han Fan.

"No need."

However, Qin Lang just waved his hand. The incense meeting of Huansi Island Hammer is a secret association, which is somewhat similar to some folk Maitreya religion, but it is different. In the final analysis, it is because all the Fans belong to the Qin family now, and the organization of the tribe in the past has been messed up, so the leaders had to use this form of society to regain control of the Fanmin.

The Xianghui of Huansi Island Hammer is relatively good. Although he also collects money, his purpose is not to make money. This is the difference between him and other bosses. Those people are just reluctant to bear the power in their hands and change their ways. to collect money.

On the other hand, Shimai has a more lofty ideal. He wants to lead the tribe back to the old land of Liuqiu and rebuild his own kingdom. Therefore, although he also collects membership fees, he does not want to make money. He uses the name of the incense association to build incense boats, and in the name of going out to the islands to offer incense.

Of course, through the Fragrance Society, Daochai also has a strong control over the Fanmin. The first-level organizations of Dharma Protector, Fragrance Master, and Fragrance Head are parasitic on Qin's Manor.

In Qin Lang's eyes, this is just a townsman's association, or an organization in the form of a labor union. Of course, there will be hidden dangers, but with the help of Daozhuan, the Qin family can save a lot of trouble in the management of Fanmin, which has advantages and disadvantages .

In the long run, there will definitely be a lot of troubles, so Qin Lang intends to take the bottom line and solve it once and for all.

"You are a smart person, you are capable, and you have a dream, which is rare. Most of the leaders of the Fanren have already forgotten the origin. Shimazuchi, if you are obedient, I am willing to give you a chance. In the future, Even if you return to Dimeitan Cave, it is not impossible to become king again."

Shimazuchi was dubious.

"Why, you don't want to go back?"

Dao Zai bowed again, "If Duke Wei can help Dao Zai return to Dimeitan Cave and build a tribe again, Dao Zai will always remember the great favor of Duke Wei!"

"I don't need you to be grateful, as long as you do a few things for me."

Qin Lang slowly expressed his plan. He planned to transfer one or two thousand young and strong Fanren from Fuqingwu, arm them, and then go to Liuqiu Island with his boat.

Let them be the guides and strikers against those greedy kings.

He was even willing to defeat those Fan Wang queens, and was willing to support some Fan people from the past here, such as Huans Island, to be Fan Wang.

This is a heart-warming proposal, and even pie in the sky. Shimazuchi has been working hard for 20 years and has been preparing to return to Ruugu, but this day is far away.

He wants to return to Liuqiu and Dimeitan Cave, but not alone, he wants to bring the tribe back.

But it was never possible before.

After being attached to the Qin family for the past few years, he saw an opportunity.

But now, the opportunity came ahead of schedule.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for Duke Wei, and I will do whatever I can."

"Hahaha, you say you are a man, why do you act like a scholar, well, I believe you, because you are a smart person and know how to choose."

Qin Lang likes to cooperate with smart people.

Originally, if those fan kings on Liuqiu Island were smarter, they shouldn't be so greedy. They cooperated with the Qin family, and they would have a better financial situation. , Teach them to raise horses and herd deer. If they cooperate with the Qin family, the income of the Fanwangs will be ten times and a hundred times what they are now.

Now that the income from camphor incense is less than one hundred thousand a year, they are fighting openly and secretly there, and even have to overturn the table of Qin's shop in the end. Isn't this stupid or what?

Originally, when they were agents of the Qin family, their life would get better and better.

But they thought they had enough capital to blackmail the Qin family, but they didn't know that Qin Lang was not the kind of person to be manipulated by others.

After several years of transactions, the Qin family now has a clear understanding of the reality of the island. What are the major forces on the island, where are they entrenched, how many people are there, and where are the mines and where are the good ones? The port is suitable for landing, and it is very clear.

The coastal area of ​​Fujian is mountainous, with many good bays and deep waters. On the other hand, the west side of Liuqiu is dominated by plains, with many sandy beaches and lacks deep water ports.

But relatively, there is also a lot of land suitable for farming.

Regardless of Liuqiu plus the islands, it is only half the size of Fujian Province, but in terms of arable land, it is more than the entire Fujian Province, and the climate and other conditions are also very good.

Such a treasure island that the imperial court did not take into consideration, Qin Lang had repeatedly instructed to strengthen contacts with the island.

The original plan was to rent or buy land as here in Fuqing, and then build a business house or manor, emigrate or transport slaves to plant sugar cane and build a sugar factory, etc., step by step to establish a firm foothold, and take it slowly.

But now that the Fanwangs are going to make trouble, Qin Lang simply took this opportunity to use the training of the navy as an excuse to pull the newly built three major fleets to do it.

Re-elect Huansi Island Chui and others as agents to replace those Fan Wangs, and the Qin family can also directly enclose a few pieces of land and build castles and villages.

The Qin family will never be satisfied with the little profit brought by camphor incense. Qin Lang's philosophy is that making money is only a means, not an end. The money earned is a tool, and land grabbing is the real plan.

It is fundamental to have land to support people.

While vigorously developing the feudal Wu'an Prefecture, Qin Lang did not miss other opportunities.

Why are the five surnames and seven families so good? Apart from the monopoly of classics, it is that their economy is very strong, but their business and trade are only auxiliary. Their real strength is that they bought and merged a large number of lands in the past. There are a large number of manors, and then there are countless slaves attached to them.

In the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the manor economy of these nobles can be said to be able to affect the rise and fall of a dynasty. If there is land, there will be food, and if there is land, there will be people.

Having mastered the land, money, food and population, they even once owned a very powerful township soldier, and then occupied a high political position and monopolized resources.

Why since the unification of the Sui Dynasty, the five surnames and seven families have become more and more unbearable, and even some offshoots have been mixed up to make a living by selling their daughters for marriage?

It is because the imperial court attacked them from various aspects, first politically, then economically, land and other aspects.

Under the land occupation system in the Northern Wei Dynasty, they had countless manor populations. Later, when the land equalization system began, they used their influence in the court to formulate a land equalization system that was completely biased towards these gentry.

Not only do men and women rarely have land quotas, but even slaves, cattle and horses have land quotas. Therefore, an ordinary family can only own a hundred acres of land at most, which is actually not enough to grant them. Jue and others have fields.

Coupled with the class exemption method, they became an important force that the imperial court also had to win over.

At the beginning of Zhenguan, Qin Lang conducted a national census. Taking Fan Yang's Lu family as an example, the core of the Lu family's direct lineage is only about three hundred, but the Lu family has more branches, and the total number is thousands. If the servants are counted, There are also tens of thousands. And if the slaves and trilogy in the manor workshops all over the Lu family are included, then one hundred thousand will not stop.

The land properties of the Lu family in Hebei, Liaoxi, Henan, Hedong and other places totaled more than 10,000 hectares.

This is the capital that the Lu family has always been proud of. What is money, the population and land they control are scary.

In comparison, Qin Lang has made a lot of money these years, but compared to these old-fashioned families like them, he is nothing.

In the northern Central Plains, an upstart like Qin Lang has no chance of getting too much land, and those aristocratic families will not allow it. Qin Lang didn't choose to be tough with them, but developed the economy in the Central Plains, and then came to the south to enclose land.

This is still a piece of land that has not been valued by the rich and powerful families. Barbarians are everywhere, and miasma is rampant. In the past, this place was synonymous with chaos. The touch of the aristocratic families in the south only extended to the south of the Yangtze River. At most, they did some trade in Guangzhou and other places. This piece has not entered yet.

Dragon Boat Festival in May.

Qin Lang spent time in Fuqingwu. The new governor of Fuzhou, Dugu Yanyun, was Qin Lang's former subordinate. He followed Qin Lang in Youzhou in the ninth year of Wu De, and has been by his side ever since. He also made great contributions in the battle of Longyou. Lang operated, and was transferred from Longyou to Fuzhou to serve as the governor of Xiazhou, the fourth rank.

The purpose of letting him come to Fuzhou is naturally because Qin Lang intends to increase investment, and Fuqing will be an important place in the future. As the governor of Fuzhou, it is natural to get someone of his own to take care of him.

Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats.

It is rare for the brothers in the navy to rest in Fuqing for many days. Except for the daily training, the days are very comfortable.

Qin Lang also selected seven chiefs of the Fan tribe, including Huan Sidaozui, from among the Fan people. Each tribe selected five hundred elites to intensify their training, and even sent officers from the Marine Corps in the navy to teach and train.

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, Qin Lang led his navy to set sail. Six thousand sailors took with them 3,500 people, and several thousand craftsmen and peasants followed by the boat.

Qin Lang's route chose to sail directly to the east, and landed in the Taibei area of ​​later generations, which is not the location of Huansi Island's hometown.

Back then, Zhang Zhenzhou set off from Chaozhou, so he headed for the Tainan area. After landing there, he fought against the Huans tribe living on the plain.

Fuzhou is still far away from Tainan. Qin Lang has a lot of useful information on Taiwan Island, and even has a relatively stable direct route to Tainan, so there is no need to go to Tainan at all.

The voyage of more than four hundred miles is not too far.

On a sunny and sunny day, he specially invited the old captain who is familiar with this section of the strait to watch the sky and watch the clouds. After making sure that there would be no storms, thunderstorms, etc., Qin Lang specially worshiped the Dragon King of the East China Sea at Fuqing Port before setting off.

Going out of the Haitan Strait and passing the outer islands of Fuqing, there is an endless blue sea.

Huans Island Hammer stood on the deck of a transport ship, wearing rattan armor, a horizontal knife in his waist, an antler spear in his hand, and a longbow on his back, extremely excited.

He is back!
