Chapter 780 The wool comes from the sheep
Good news keeps coming.
The Fuqing soldiers led by Qin Huan captured one village after another. They were truly invincible and invincible.
But Qin Lang just chuckled.
There is nothing to doubt, a group of islanders have only lived a primitive life of fishing and hunting for thousands of years. Although there are actually a large part of the aborigines on the island, they all came across the ocean from the Central Plains. However, according to later generations of experts studying the languages of the indigenous peoples on the island, they found that about one-sixth of the indigenous languages on the island are actually from the Luzon indigenous language family, one-eighth are from the Malay language family, and another Department of Urban Languages, etc.
Of course, the most important thing is from the Central Plains, both the Baiyue language family and the Central Plains language family.
In short, although this big island was not officially established as a government until the Qing Dynasty, in fact, for thousands of years, outsiders and foreign civilizations have continued to enter.
Just as Soochow of the Three Kingdoms once sent troops to conquer and farm on the island, the Sui Dynasty also sent troops several times, and later abducted thousands of households.
In general, the level of civilization on the island is very low, and the level of production technology is even lower. It is still in the era of fishing and hunting. Although they know some simple farming techniques and domestication techniques, they are not as good as the Mohe people in Baishui and Heishui in Liaodong.
Qin Huan was also a Fanyi who was born on the island, but after all, he lived in Fuzhou for more than 20 years and had more contact with the civilization of the Central Plains. In addition, he now has Qin Lang's equipment, as well as tactical guidance and cavalry support. Hitting the few with the many, and the weak with the strong, can you still be invincible?
Phoenix Eight Club, the name is quite famous, with a population of more than 12,000, but they are flatlanders, not mountain people, and the stockade is not safe to defend. They were raided again, and they were still scattered eight clubs. easy.
In the beginning, Qin Lang led troops to fight against Zahu and Turks in Hetao, and Dangxiang and Tuyuhun in Longyou Hequ.
"These fans look too ugly."
Half a day later, when the heads of Fanshe chiefs were sent to Danshui Port one after another, Zhang Chao believed it, but felt that those Fan kings were ugly.
Qin Lang was a little speechless.
In Phoenix Eight Society, none of them was willing to surrender.
After all, the eyelids are still shallow.
"It's fine to kill them, but if you ask me, what kind of affection do you have for these people? After we are cleared, we will just occupy the magpie's nest." Zhang Chao felt that the eight societies would be clean only after they were cleared.
Danshui Village sent more than 10,000 captives at once.
There are a total of more than 12,000 members of the Eight Communities. It took Qin Huan only three days to quickly wipe out the Eight Villages through continuous division of troops. With the cavalry, no one could escape, except for the chief of the Eight Communities who was killed. Less than 200 of the rest were killed in the resistance, and the rest basically became prisoners.
"A young and strong captive has a reward of 2,000, and the old and weak, women and children have to pay the same amount. Sanlang, for more than 10,000, the reward is almost 20,000. How rash is it to set such a high reward!"
Qin Lang didn't feel bad for the reward.
It is true that he gave Qin Huan and the others a young and strong captive two pennies of money, but if such a young and strong man is sent to Fuzhou or shipped to Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other big ports, although he cannot pretend to be a Kunlun slave, but one that sells for twenty pennies is a good idea. no problem.
So the gross profit is ten times, even if the transportation, food and other expenses are removed, one can earn more than ten times, no matter how much Qin Lang catches, he will not care about the reward.
"Originally, I wanted to make an example to others, destroy Danshui village, deter the other seven communities, and let them follow the order from now on. Now it's simply a matter of course, but I can only transport more than 10,000 people back to the west coast of the sea and sell them. But there are more than 10,000 people missing."
Qin Lang sighed, he originally planned to transform these Fanren just like the Fanren in Fulao Mountain. More than 10,000 people can help him reclaim hundreds of thousands of mu of sugarcane and rice fields, how much cane sugar and grain can be produced a year.
Now selling to the other side, making money is making money, but it is not conducive to the long-term development of the island.
"Sanlang, you've almost got it, and you'll take advantage of everything." Zhang Chao couldn't stand it anymore, and felt like punching someone after hearing such sarcastic remarks.
He made hundreds of thousands of coins all at once.
In fact, this time to break the eight clubs, it is not just the benefit of this head.
According to Qin Huan's report, more than 10,000 deerskins were confiscated after the Bazhai was captured. In addition, in the past six months, the Eighth Society has hoarded a lot of camphor, more than 3,000 dans. In addition, of course, some rice was also seized. Dried meat, salted fish, some gold and silver, antler spears, rattan armor, stone knives and other weapons.
Among them, buckskin and camphor incense are very valuable.
The more than 3,000 tons of camphor incense alone can be worth 50,000 to 60,000 guan.
Qin Huan returned victorious, everyone was full of energy and triumphant.
Qin Lang personally went to greet him in front of the stronghold, and announced in public that he would honor the rewards. In addition to the direct rewards for captives and beheading, he also gave an additional reward.
"Starting today, you and the Han people who came on the same boat from Fuqing will be organized into eight villages, take over the original Phoenix Eight Club, reclaim fields, plant sugar cane, rice, raise cattle, horses, sheep, and fish..."
The 3,500 young and strong Fuqing Island Fans will be organized into eight villages together with more than 2,000 Han people and slaves. Each village has 1,000 people. The collective reclamation system will be temporarily implemented. One hundred people will be adults, fifty people will be squadrons, and ten people will be small teams. Groups of five.
Produce together in groups.
Qin Lang would bring cattle, horses, seeds, farm tools, etc. from the Central Plains, and each group would give two cattle and set aside one hundred acres of wasteland for them to reclaim.
"The income from reclaiming wasteland and farming, after deducting the cost of cattle and seeds, will be divided into four or six, the Qin family four and you six."
Qin Lang also made a promise to those Fan people that each of them has lived here for three years and can choose to return to Fuqing to reunite with his family, or he can choose to bring his family to Danshui.
If they return to Fuqing, the Qin family will give them the permanent tenancy rights of 50 acres of land there, that is, this land can be rented for generations in the future, or can be transferred to be a second landlord. This is a very generous condition, and there is a contract. ensure.
Of course, if they choose to stay in Liuqiu, the Qin family will directly give each of them 100 mu of land, which is also a permanent tenancy right, but the land is doubled.
The conditions for those Han people are better.
As for the slaves of the Qin family, Qin Lang also promised that if they perform well, they will still release 1% of their quota of freedom every year, and they will be converted from slaves to tenants. If there are 100 slaves in Tamsui Bazhuang, one freeman will be freed every year, and if there are 200 slaves, two slaves will be freed every year.
In addition, Qin Lang also set seniority, every three years, for example, after three years, he becomes a first-rank slave. Although he is still a slave, his salary will be improved a lot.
The higher the number of revolutions, the better the treatment.
If it reaches the fifth turn, even if it is not the normal turn to be released, you can also be released directly, you can leave freely, and you can stay and turn into tenants, long-term workers, etc.
Fourty-six share, this is very good, there is no such low share in the Central Plains, let alone other additions.
"Saburo really trusts these fans so much?"
"Didn't they perform well in Fuqing?"
When in Fuqing, before the Qin family came, the Fan people in Fulao Mountain lived a miserable life, and the Qin family allowed them to live a life of food and clothing. But now, Qin Lang brought them back to Liuqiu, still willing to give them a better life.
Everyone wants to go up.
Of course, Qin Lang's benevolence is based on the premise that he has sufficient ability to control the situation.
"Tanshui City needs to expand, build a larger port, and build a bastion fortress. In addition, in the northeast corner of the island, there is a harbor surrounded by three mountains at the foot of Jilong Mountain. It is a good deep-water harbor. I plan to let the East China Sea Fleet set up there a military port."
Qin Lang will also set up Liuqiu Prefecture, Danshui County and Jilong County here.
"Setting up prefectures and counties? Why did Saburo have such an idea? Isn't it good now? This place belongs to our Qin family! Why set up prefectures and counties? Do you have to send officials to manage it?" Not only Zhang Very puzzled, even Ah Huang was also greatly puzzled.
The wealth of this island is amazing.
Such a land without an owner in the world, the Qin family will occupy it if they occupy it, why should they hand it over to the court?
Qin Lang just chuckled.
"We need to take a long-term view. Now we are just doing small things. We only buy some camphor, buckskin, and sulfur on this island. We secretly acquire two plots of land here, build a business hall, and acquire a few sugarcane gardens. Yes, then it is indeed possible to do it secretly. But if we want to make it bigger, then it is best to take the initiative to ask the court to intervene."
"I don't understand?" Zhang Chao said.
"Actually, there is no airtight wall in the world, and paper can never contain fire. Liuqiu Island itself is not a secret. It's just that the imperial court has not had the spare time to take care of it. Now that we are on the island, and we are still waiting for it." To fully develop, do you think the imperial court will not know? If we recruit tens of thousands of people here to build cities and set up villages, the imperial court will still be invisible? We can’t put the right of claim in the hands of others, and we can’t let the imperial court start to take action When we are at a loss what to do, it is better for us to take the initiative to do this, so that we still have the initiative."
In fact, it is very common for Datang to set up prefectures and counties in some barbarian border areas, and even such prefectures and counties are not very concerned. Now Qin Lang is a custom envoy, patrolling the southeast coast of the province, and Liuqiu on the opposite side of Fuzhou He has come to the island, and of course it is no problem to set up a state here.
As for the level of this state, whether it is Zhengzhou or the indigenous Jilin state, isn't it still Qin Lang who has the final say?
There is too much room for manipulation here, Qin Lang is planning to use Qin Huan's identity as an island fan to make a cover, and set up Liuqiu Prefecture on the bright side, which is a restrained state, incorporated into the imperial court's territory, and expanded its territory. However, Datang did not interfere with the management of Jimi Prefecture, so there will be no change in essence.
With the cover of Qin Huan's banner, the Qin family can openly develop and control this place. Even if one day, the imperial court realizes that when they want to reform the country, the Qin family has already taken the lead here. , when all aspects are under control, what does it matter if it is changed to Zhengzhou?
"Qin Huan, I want to set up Liuqiu Prefecture on Liuqiu Island, and temporarily set up two counties of Danshui and Jilong. It means that the imperial court will use you as the governor of Liuqiu to rule. Are you willing?"
Huansi Island Hammer knelt on the ground, and when he heard this, his mind went blank.
