Chapter 218 Immigration to Tamna Island

Ruan Xiaoer said: "After entering the sea, I walked around along the coast of Dengzhou, but I didn't see any sailors."

Wen Zhongrong laughed loudly and said: "It's the cold winter and the cold moon, and those guys are hiding in the water village eating wine and gambling."

Wen Huanzhang nodded and said: "That should be the case."

Zhang Zhengdao asked again: "Second brother, fifth brother, what kind of storms will you encounter when you go to sea this time?"

Ruan Xiaoer shook his head and said: "There have been no big storms. We will practice offshore for two days. After we are familiar with it, we will go to the direction of Korea under the guidance of the old boatman."

Zhang Zhengdao asked curiously: "Second brother actually arrived in Goryeo?"

Ruan Xiaoer nodded and said: "After only three days on the sea, we arrived at the Ongjin area of ​​Goryeo. We didn't dare to dock because there was no customs clearance document."

"The fleet went south along the coastline, passing through Haeju, Yanju, Baekju and other places in Goryeo. It wanted to go directly to Tamna Island, but there was not enough supplies on the ship, so it turned back." Ruan Xiaoer sighed, I feel that it is a pity that I did not reach Tamna Island this time and turned back halfway.

Zhang Zhengdao did not expect that Ruan Xiaoer was so bold that he went directly to the sea off Goryeo and immediately said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, after the Jeju army is defeated in the spring, we can go straight to Tamna."

Wen Zhongrong said: "My younger brother wanted to go ashore to inquire about the situation in Goryeo, but he was afraid of an accident along the way, so he couldn't make the trip."

Wen Huanzhang said: "This trip to sea is to practice the navy. It is a great achievement for the fleet to return to the stronghold safely."

Zhang Zhengdao also nodded and said: "Inquiring about Goryeo, wait until we capture Tamluo Island. We, Liangshan, are now weak and weak, so we should not act too hastily."

Although Goryeo is a small country, it is not something that Liangshan can covet right now. With a population of more than two million, it cannot be conquered so easily.

Wen Huanzhang said: "Master of the village, since the navy has discovered the route, Wen suggested that we immigrate the people of the village to Tamluo Island now."

Seeing Zhang Zhengdao thinking, Wen Huanzhang explained the reason: "Although it is cold winter now, the village leader said that the climate on the island is warm and the land is fertile. As long as you bring all the farm tools and seeds, you can cultivate fertile land."

"Right now, the nearly 10,000 people spend a lot of money every day and cannot get in or out. Even if the village has a lot of food in stock, it is difficult to sustain it for a long time." Wen Huanzhang faced everyone's gaze and spoke eloquently: " By moving people to the island, they can grow food for one season, which will not only reduce the burden on the village, but also speed up the reclamation."

"The owner of the village once said that Tamluo Island is a natural and excellent horse farm. If it operates for half a year, our village will never be short of horses again!" Wen Huanzhang said with a smile.

Ruan Xiaoer also stood up and said: "Master of the village, I am willing to open up and expand the territory for the village."

Wen Zhongrong also stood up and shouted: "My little brother is willing to go."

Zhang Zhengdao was silent in thought. After waiting for a long time, he raised his head, looked around at everyone, and said, "Then start preparing for immigration."

"Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, order you two to repair the ships, mobilize supplies, and mobilize the ships of the Treading Navy Navy. In three days, set sail to sea and immigrate to Tamluo Island." Zhang Zhengdao ordered.

.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu stood up and loudly accepted orders.

"Military advisor, I ask you to handle the matter of people's immigration. You must clearly explain the benefits of Tamna Island to everyone. Every household who is willing to go will be given one hundred acres of fertile land and one ox for farming.

If there are not enough cattle for farming, we will default on the arrears first and make up for them later." Zhang Zhengdao paused and continued: "There is no tax burden for the first three years, and there are no exorbitant taxes or miscellaneous taxes, but the grain produced must be sold at the price.

Part of the cottage, after three years, one tax per ten will be paid!”…

After preliminarily reading out Liangshan's immigration policy, Zhang Zhengdao added: "People who are unwilling to immigrate do not need to force it. I just want to announce again that Liangshan does not support idle people. After the end of this month, we will no longer provide free food.

Zhang Zhengdao still understands the principle of rice rising and rice rising and rice grudges fighting. For those people who want to stay in the village to eat for nothing and survive this cold winter, and then want to go down the mountain, they have to use some methods.

"If anyone dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble, they will be locked up first. When the ship goes out to sea, all these people will be loaded onto the ship and emigrated to the island together." Zhang Zhengdao looked grim.

Immigration to Tamna Island is related to the future of Yangshan, so people cannot be allowed to cause trouble and damage.

Wen Huanzhang said: "The leader of the village can rest assured."

Zhang Zhengdao asked again: "How many people can the four sea ships take out to sea this time?"

Ruan Xiaoer replied: "If our two-thousand-year-old sea-going ship is crowded, it can carry five to six hundred people."

Zhang Zhengdao frowned and said: "Only two thousand people immigrated in one trip, which is a little less!"

Ruan Xiaowu suggested: "Captain, why don't you send people to Mizhou and buy ten sea-going ships?"

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "Brother Wang Lun, then send some confidants to Mizhou to buy ten more sea ships."

When Wang Lun heard that he wanted to spend money again, he agreed with a grimace: "Xiao Ke will send someone to Mizhou right now."

After giving instructions about purchasing sea ships, Zhang Zhengdao decided: "On this trip, we will first move a thousand people to the island."

"Military advisor, first select a thousand young and powerful people from the family members of the brothers in the village as the first batch of immigrants." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

Wen Huanzhang nodded in agreement.

It only takes seven or eight days to get from Liangshanbo to Tamna Island. Zhang Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "Immigration is related to the rise and fall of Liangshan. I will go to sea with you."

Wen Huanzhang immediately dissuaded him and said: "The leader of the village must not move lightly. We will leave this trip to Wen."

Ruan Xiaoer also advised: "Yes, brother is the master of the village. With our brothers here, everything will be safe."

Wen Huanzhang said: "Besides, the Jeju government is eyeing Liangshan and I don't know when to send troops to attack. If the leader of the village is not there, people in the village will be panicked, fearing that trouble will occur."

When Zhang Zhengdao heard this, he no longer persisted and could only say: "I will leave the matter of immigration and farming to you brothers."

Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Wen Zhongrong, Cui Ye and others all stood up and shouted: "We will live up to the trust of the village master."

After the immigration matter was decided, everyone in Liangshan mobilized with all their strength.

Wen Huanzhang first carefully selected a thousand people from the family members of the village who were willing to immigrate. He also prepared agricultural tools, seeds and other supplies, and moved them one by one to the ship.

Three days passed quickly. Four sea ships, carrying 1,000 people, 500 sailors, and 500 Hanshan infantry, went out to sea along the Beiqing River and sailed for three days under the watch of the leaders of the village. They arrived in the Ongjin area that day, then avoided the Koryo Navy and headed south along the coastline. After only about seven days, they saw the huge Tamna Island.

Four sea ships chose a deep harbor to anchor in the north of the island, and put down five small boats. Wen Zhongrong led a hundred Hanshan troops, carrying weapons, and took the lead to go ashore.

When we arrived on the island, we saw forests of vegetation and no human habitation.

Wen Zhongrong ordered one hundred Hanshan troops to be divided into ten teams to search in all directions. After exploring for five miles, he asked to turn back.

After the ten teams disappeared into the dense forest, Cui Ye followed up with the Hanshan Army and followed closely. They began to cut down trees and build simple docks for berthing of sea ships.
