Chapter 776 Expedition

"Young one, disband the incense club immediately."

Huans Island Hammer was humble, 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."

Qin Lang just waved his hand, Huans Island Hammer's Incense Club is a secret association, somewhat similar to some folk Maitreya Sect, but different from it. 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 incense club 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.

Daomai has a more lofty ideal, and wants to lead the tribe back to the old place 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, the island hammer also has a strong control over the Fanmin through the incense club, and the first-level organizations of Dharma protector, incense master, and incense head are parasitic on Qin's manor.

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

In the long run, there will definitely be a lot of troubles, so Qin Lang plans 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."

Island Hammer is dubious.

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

Dao Chui bowed down again, "If Wei Gong can help Dao Chui return to Dimeitan Cave and build a tribe again, Dao Chui will always remember Wei Gong's great favor!"

"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 serve as guides and strikers against those greedy kings.

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

This is a heart-warming proposal, even a pie in the sky. Shimazuchi has been working hard for 20 years and has been preparing for returning to Ruqiu, 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 wasn't possible before.

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

And now, the opportunity came ahead of time.

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

"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 the income from camphor incense is only about a 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?

Being the agents of the Qin family, their life will 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.

Fujian’s coast is mountainous, with many good bays and deep waters. On the opposite side of Liuqiu, the coast 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 exchanges with the island.

But now that the Fan Wangs 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 Huan Sidaojiu and others as agents to replace those Fan Wangs. 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.

Only land can 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.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the manor economy of these gentry clans could be said to be able to affect the rise and fall of a dynasty. Where there is land, there will be food, and only when there is land will there be people.

Having mastered the land, money, food and population, they even once had 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 become so involved that they have to rely on selling their daughters for marriage to earn money from the family?

It was 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 started, they used their influence in the court to formulate an equal land 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.

Combined with the 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 add up to 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 them, these old aristocratic families, he is nothing.

In the northern Central Plains, a new rich like Qin Lang has no chance to get 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.

He was specially asked to come to Fuzhou, naturally because Qin Lang planned to increase investment, and Fuqing would be an important place in the future. As the governor of Fuzhou, he naturally had to get someone of his own to take care of him.

Eat zongzi, race dragon boats.

It is rare for the brothers of 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 Sidaojuet, 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, 6,000 sailors, 3,500 people with them, and thousands of 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. This is not the location of Huansi Island's hometown.

At that time, 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 far away to Tainan.

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 also specially worshiped the Dragon King of the East China Sea at Fuqing Port before setting off.

Out of the Haitan Strait, after crossing 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. He was extremely excited.

He's back!
