Ask The Dao

"The former convenience is Luoding Island!"

The blue sea was as flat as a mirror, and the crew of the three large ships could not help but cheered when they saw the dark shadow between the sea and the sky.

After a few months of absence, Qin Feiyu finally returned here when it was winter, but Qin Feiyu was not very emotional.

Although he has walked the sea several times, he couldn't imagine that the storm on the sea would be so terrifying!

The feeling that the sky is dim, as if the whole world is against you, even caused great fear in his heart, a captain of the hundred battles.

Originally, the six sea-going ships they left were all of the big wing class, with abundant manpower.

Moreover, Wu has Qin Feiyu, and the magical talents are Xiao Jingfeng, Yu Jingbai, Guo Bairen... High-end combat power is not lacking, not to mention the pirates, even if monsters attack, as long as it is not that monster, at least there is not much self-protection. problem.

However, just a few days ago, just before reaching the destination, the capricious sea finally let Qin Feiyu see its ferocious side.

The sky was clear and cloudless, but it was covered with dark clouds in an instant.

The sea is turbulent, and no matter how big the ship is, it can only helplessly drift with the waves, as if being wantonly played by the giant beasts in the ocean.

If it weren't for a few experienced boatmen who cut the sails promptly, maybe their fleet would be completely capsized.

However, when the storm passed, 50% of the fleet gathered again, and the loss of personnel and materials was incalculable.

‘Fortunately, the sisters, Xiao, Yu, and Director Guo on the flagship are all fine...According to several old boatmen, this is just a small storm, it is already terrifying! ’

Even Qin Feiyu looked at the sea with a little more awe. Immediately I saw a large area of ​​land and wanted to sing loudly.

"The name Luoding Island was used by the leader of a water bandit, which does not fit the identity of the lord. Besides, this island also has a county, but it is a foundation. How can we still use the old name?"

Guo Bai endured looking at the growing land and couldn't help but say: "Only names and tools, no fakes, when you get to the island, you should advise the lord and change it as soon as possible!"

Xiao Jingfeng and Yu Jingbai next to them nodded repeatedly, feeling very reasonable.

Qin Feiyu slightly headed his jaw and looked at the dock in front of him.

I saw that the original dilapidated water village had been flattened long ago, and the wharf was rebuilt and built with stones to make it very level.

At this time, several warriors on duty saw a ship coming, and immediately yelled and attracted a group of guards.

"Play the flag and show your identity!"

Qin Feiyu waved his hand and looked far away.

It's just been missing for a few months. The low, chaotic, fishing village-like huts that were originally in his mind disappeared. Instead, it was a small town.

Outside the city, thousands of acres of fertile fields are in order, and many farmers are even opening up.

"Big brother is worthy of being a versatile person, and he managed this place to such a level in a few months!"

Qin Feiyu sighed for a long time, and only then went to the pier with Ye Zhiyu and others. He recognized that the samurai who was patrolling was Yoshinobu Sasaki. Duan Yu's new ronin in Izumo couldn't help but step forward.

"I have seen the lord!"

Sasaki Yoshinobu hurriedly scolded the nervous guards behind: "Don't you even know an adult? No respect!"

He quickly explained to Qin Feiyu: "A pirate attacked before January. The lord ordered to step up the defense. Don't blame Master Qin!"

"A pirate attacking?"

Qin Feiyu was startled: "How is our loss?"

"The lord showed great power and captured all the enemy ships. Jubei, Taro, and Shiro also cut to enough heads and were given surnames by the lord. After the land is seized, they will officially give Zhixing!"

Sasaki Yoshinobu worshiped and said, almost becoming a fanatic of Duan Yu.

Not long after, a group of people came out of the small town. It was Duan Yu who took the lead, followed by Kenbi Amano and other warriors, laughing forward: "Second brother, you are finally here!"

"Big Brother!"

Qin Feiyu was okay, but Ye Zhiyu's eyes were red, almost rushing over.

"Master!"

Guo Bairen, Xiao Jingfeng, Yu Jingbai and others all salute.

"I have prepared the house, you can take a good rest and have a banquet right away!" Duan Yu smiled and ordered Amano Boxing Guards to lead people to load and unload the goods, register and store them, and personally welcome a team of cronies into the city.

Looking at the busy scene of men ploughing and women along the way, Qin Feiyu couldn't help feeling: "A few months ago, this place was still like an enemy country. I wonder why Big Brother could do this?"

"It's very simple, use profit to lure it, and die!"

Duan Yu wore a large robe with wide sleeves, a wooden crown and wooden clogs. He was very calm: "First put all Ding Zhuang into the labor force, work every day, and screen them one by one. After two months, his mind is slightly calm, the horse of black sheep. It was almost eliminated, and the fortification was ordered, because it was said in advance that the houses in the city were also for them to live in, so it was still enthusiastic. When the new city had an outline, the ban on men and women was lifted, and they were reunited with their families and then granted real estate. He also ordered it to cultivate, promised freedom after three years, and divided the fields, and when the autumn harvested the grain into the warehouse, the hearts of the people would be completely settled."

As for the number of times of resistance, the amount of blood in the suppression, and the number of people killed, it is not enough for outsiders.

Even Duan Yu couldn't manage it at all if it wasn't for Duan Yu's primordial power.

Guo Bairen and his entourage entered the small city, and saw that the city wall was low, roughly just over one foot high, nearly four meters high. The method used was not masonry, but a soil barrier, but it was extremely strong.

Duan Yu saw it and couldn't help but smile: "This is the ancient method I have obtained. It is made from a mixture of sea sand, mirage ash, and loess. It is called'cement'. It is used to build walls and houses. It is as solid as a rock!"

"The Lord God Grant!"

Guo Bairen entered the city gate and took a closer look. He saw that the houses were vertically and horizontally distributed in the shape of a well. They were not too high. The houses, streets... everything was in order. He even dug a drainage ditch and nodded again and again.

Along the way, occasionally some women and children appeared. Seeing this line, they all knelt down on the side of the road respectfully, not daring to look up.

Duan Yu didn't take it seriously. He brought everyone to the City Lord’s Mansion. It was actually a big mansion built for him. It occupies a large area. But after entering, he found that only a wall was built, as well as a residence, a hall for discussion, and a kitchen. Functional buildings such as warehouses and wells are empty in the rest of the location.

"Jiye was founded, don't laugh at you!"

Duan Yu arranged for someone to go to the hall and ordered a banquet.

The banquet was very simple. Only the freshly harvested rice was the main food, the fish and clams caught in the sea, the birds and beasts hunted by a group of samurai from the mountains, the fruits and mushrooms picked by the women, and so on.

As for other things, there is really nothing, and a few jars of good wine have to be removed from the boat.

Because Duan Yu seldom enjoyed it, and did not rush to make any tables, chairs, benches, etc., the group of people all kneeled in the hall, quite a bit of a grass team.

"Everyone wins!"

Duan Yu raised his glass, looked around, and smiled to persuade him to drink. This is his entire team.

On his left, the first person to kneel down was Qin Feiyu, followed by Ye Zhiyu, Guo Bairen, Xiao Jingfeng, Yu Jingbai, Jiang Bao, Cheng Jin, Yang Cai, and Yang Weiping. In a word, they were all celebrating. Ministry of Old Affairs.

On the right hand side, Musashi Izumi is the chief, followed by Wang Yue, Wang Ji, He Yun, Yamauchi Jinhei, Sagawa Eemon, Hine Jubei, Takegoshi Taro, Qinghai Shiro, Ogawa Tadajiro, Kuki The origins of Kiyobei ​​and others are very complicated. There are ronin warriors recruited by Izumo country and Wu Yue insect envoys. Ogawa Tadojiro is a loyal generation who stands out from the hundred pirates. As for Kuki Kiyoshi Biebe is a pirate promoted from the island.

Generally speaking, the composition is more complicated, but it can be attributed to a collection outside of the old ministers, mostly Izumo.

The subordinates of the two gangs looked distinct and subconsciously divided the opposition.

"Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes..."

Duan Yu pretended to be ignorant and watched everyone below toast and drink.

After that, Qin Feiyu took the lead to plead guilty: "This time there were six sea-going ships, but three of them were broken. It is all my fault! Brother please punish!

"The sea is impermanent, how can I blame you!"

Duan Yu warmly comforted, but he sighed. There is still a shortage of maritime talents.

Fortunately, although some materials and manpower were lost, the core was not lost. It was a blessing in misfortune.

The voyage at this time is still a matter of gambling on probabilities. It seems that next time you will either let the less important retainers lead you, or you must find a perfect solution.

"Lord!"

I don’t know how long after the banquet~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Kenbei Amano and Yoshinobu Sasaki came to pay the order, claiming that the materials had been put in the warehouse, and the personnel had all arranged properly.

"Thank you, let's sit down!"

Duan Yu waved his hand, and the two of them did not hesitate to join the right seat.

"It just so happens that you are all here. The reclaiming of Luoding Island this time has been quite effective. A new city has been built, 400 households have been built, a thousand stones are stored in the warehouse, and a thousand acres of land have been opened..."

During the banquet, Duan Yu incidentally explained the situation on the island.

The island originally had a thousand acres of land, and then another thousand acres would be 2,000 acres of land. If it is really successful, two crops a year, a total of three shi per acre of rice and wheat can be harvested, that is six thousand shi of grain, enough to feed two. Thousands of people.

But in fact it is not the case.

After all, opening up a thousand acres of wasteland is only the first step. Next, you have to clean up the roots, weeds, and boulders in the field. After the land is finished, you have to dig drainage ditches. This is the initial success, but only the first year. No rice or wheat.

In the second year, we have to continue weeding, supplemented by cattle farming, to soften the soil, plant beans, and increase the atmosphere.

In this way, in the third year, it can finally be regarded as a ripe field, and some staple food can be planted.

For the sake of water and soil restoration considerations, Duan Yu is still planning to use the rotation system. Generally speaking, the land is divided into several pieces, one for wheat, one for rice, one for vegetables, and one for fallow, and beans for solid fertilizer. , Cyclically.

In addition, because it is an island, wells have to be dug, or reservoirs have to be built extensively to store fresh water resources.

To put it bluntly, it will take roughly three years for these populations to be self-sufficient, during which time some food needs to be purchased!

So if you don't have sufficient financial, material, and human support, you want to cultivate and turn wild land into fertile soil and dream!
