Chapter 190 Pioneering and enterprising

The giant ship of the Li Chamber of Commerce was sailing unscrupulously on the sea surface, and no matter how many huge waves were, they could not stop one or two.

The waves were slapped helplessly, but the ships were still as stable as mountains, and there were not many pirates who dared to attack the Li Chamber of Commerce. Who wouldn't know that the Li Chamber of Commerce said it was a maritime merchant, but in fact it was a pirate.

Raiding him is like delivering it to the door.

Therefore, since Yang Yuan boarded the merchant ship, he has been going smoothly. In less than a month, he arrived at Jeju Island.

The dusk on the sea spreads directly to the sea, like golden silk, soft and graceful, with an indescribable softness.

The afterglow of the sunset fell on the sparkling sea, outlining a beautiful scenery. The sailors rested in shifts sat on the deck in groups of three or three, looking at the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky in the distance, enjoying it while talking and laughing, and working hard all day long.

"I never thought that this time I went out to sea, I only lost two big horses. It's really a safe haven!"

The sailor breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yang Yuan and other veterinarians who came on the land and spoke:

"Thanks to you, if these horses were in Jeju in the past, they would have been nearly half of them. In addition, they were not suitable for the local conditions, and thirty horses left behind were already a blessing!"

"How far is Jeju Island?" Yang Yuan was a little impatient when he was on the boat. The feeling of not touching his legs was really uncomfortable.

"It's not far away, it only takes half a day to arrive!"

"This Jeju Island has ten thousand acres of land, which looks large. This island covers a vast area. It takes several days to walk from east to west! We are blessed. The governor said that as long as the horses double, each person will be rewarded with ten acres, quadrupled, and one hundred acres..."

The sailor said with envious expression.

"What if it's ten rounds?" Yang Yuan continued to ask.

"Bang--" Suddenly, I was slapped in the head, "You kid don't be too ambitious!"

At some point, the captain came over and looked at the sea and was fascinated.

Jeju Island has more than 1,840 square kilometers, and the arable land area accounts for about 29% of its total area. One square kilometer is equal to 1,500 mu. Nearly 30% of the arable land area means that there are at least 800,000 mu of arable land in Jeju Island.

Li Jia wanted to open up land and farm, but she wasted her ability but not enough, but she wasted her use of raising horses.

Along the way, Yang Yuan always thought that Jeju Island was a deserted and crowded island. After boarding the island, he realized that it was no less than the cities in Lingnan.

At some point, a city stood on Jeju Island, about two feet high. A spacious avenue led directly to the pier outside the city. There were countless pedestrians, porters, and merchants walking around like ants, making it very lively.

The most impressive thing is the pier. Unlike the pier in Panyu, the pier here is very clean. Even the porter has a clean face and a red face. It looks like he has good food and clothing.

After getting off the boat, someone helped to unload the cargo. Even the horses slowly landed on the ground and led to the east of the island. I heard that there was a good grassland there.

"Thank you all, you have prepared wine and meat, go quickly!"

They were greeted by a young man in his twenties. He was not wearing an official robe, but he seemed to be a master. He was very enthusiastic. The captain was a little flattered and his face was full of joy.

Yang Yuan was just a young veterinarian, so he didn't care about these things. The lively and exotic dock made him confused.

"It's almost half a year. Langjun finally remembers Jeju Island and this horse-dressing land!"

Looking at the horses getting off the boat, Mo Yuan had tears in his eyes.

Rebellion was rescued, Mo Yuan was very grateful to Li Langjun, and then he was inexplicably fooled to this island by Li Langjun, saying that he wanted to form a cavalry and asked him to lead the troops, saying that he was training here for one or two,

So, with hundreds of fellow villagers, Mo Yuan came to this island, and joined forces with the Han and Japanese who were wandering here to start a difficult career in reclamation.

Fortunately, every half month, a fleet from the south would bring supplies or immigration, allowing the Jeju city to slowly build.

Goryeo in the north, Khitan Goryeo ginseng, fur, etc., Japanese swords, fans in the south, Zhou Kingdom's books, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, all came here to gather and form a big market.

As for the Danlu royal family on the island, they have been driven to the mountainous area of ​​the center of the island, and there are not many people anyway.

Fortunately, there was an old man on the island who had been on the Khitan envoy in the past. He wandered on the island for decades, named Chen Shen. With his help, this Jeju City was barely established.

I originally wanted to lead the troops to fight, but

"Before coming to Jeju Island, the governor repeatedly told me that if there is any deficiency, he would just tell me that Lingnan should provide it!" The captain looked at the city and said happily.

"There is nothing shortage. Caravans come every month. Nowadays, there are only people. Even if I send people to Khitan to buy some slaves and recruit Han people in Goryeo and Japan, there are still only more than 3,000 people. How can I guard this huge island?"

Mo Yuan complained.

"Look, I have brought you hundreds of good big-food horses. The governor has high hopes for you and also high hopes for Jeju Island..."

"This is the letter brought to you by the Governor!"

Hearing this, Mo Yuan felt warm. Finally, Governor Li valued himself, held the letter and went home to read it again.

Back in the study, Governor Li arranged important tasks in his letter.

First, two thousand households must be recruited, 100,000 mu of land must be reclaimed, and granaries must be established, so that Jeju Island can be more than just a horse-dressing land, but a granary in Lingnan.

Second, go to Shandong and other places to recruit Han people, which are small and have many people, allowing the Han people on Jeju Island to occupy an absolute main position.

Third, among the recruited Han people, Khitans, and Goryeo people, some of them were selected to train them to become cavalrymen, with a number of no less than one thousand.

Third, cooperate with the caravan to explore Japan, let Lingnan merchants enter it, and recruit some soldiers and open some gold and silver mines.

Wait, no wonder this caravan is a bit unusual.

Looking back, when the fleet came over this time, it did not bring some cargo, but instead transported a lot of weapons and hundreds of strangely dressed figures. Could it be that they were planning to go to Japan?

"Why do you want to go to Japan?" He came to Jeju Island on a boat. As soon as he rested, his brain was still drowsy. When he heard that he wanted to go to Japan, Zhang Li immediately stood up and said in surprise.

"There are many gold and silver mines in Japan, and the Governor's Office, there is not much surplus grain!" Taoist Miaoshi, the head of Duling in the Xiling, shook the whisk, glanced at everyone, and said softly:

"You have been with me for many days, and the Governor's Office has received a lot of rewards. Although this time it is more remote, there is no danger and the reward is higher!"

“How high can it be?”
