Military, Feilongdu has already filled up 1,000 people, mainly mule-horse-formed infantry, and the training method is still the same as military training, with strict discipline and generous salary; Baishadu has 500, with the three-talent formation as the center, and the elite infantry are being trained in an orderly manner.

In agriculture, tens of thousands of acres of land have been reclaimed every month, and a large number of people have been arranged to farm, burning wasteland, purging and landfilling.

By the time of spring plowing, Li Jia expanded the expected number of fertile fields to tens of thousands of hectares, which is the most basic. A large number of agricultural tools are constantly being produced, such as curved plows, hoes, sickles, and the rice-beating machine that Li Jia often saw when he was a child, were also invented.

In order to ensure a bumper harvest, Li Jia specially ordered the powerful Sea Dragon Pirates to go to the deserted island to transport bird droppings back and fertilize them.

The shipyard in Qinzhou produces a large ship of 800 materials every month to supplement the consumption of the Sea Dragon Pirates, while the shipyard in Danzhou has slowly failed to set up due to the lack of excellent ship workers.

Due to the raid of Meichuandu, the Sea Dragon Pirates has been sufficiently staffed recently and has increased its reputation throughout the South China Sea. It has become the first pirates, which is worthy of Li Jia's efforts.

Although the specific strength is unknown, the scale is already scary. Among the 20 large ships with a capacity of more than 600 materials, there are about a thousand powerful jumping gangs among the 5,000 sailors.

As for the ten thousand hectares of fertile fields in Danzhou, Li Jia made arrangements, of which half of the rice fields were used, and all the remaining ones would be used to plant sugarcane.

In Hainan Island, in addition to being the most suitable spices, sugar cane is the most valuable thing.

Du Fu said this in his "Five Poems of Exciting Relaxing: The Five":

I pity Meng Haoran, the long night is brown. Why do I have to write too many poems? It is often the best to thank you. The old fish in the clear river, and the spring rain is left with sugarcane. Every time I look at the southeast clouds, I feel sad.

It can be seen that sugarcane had become famous in the Tang Dynasty, especially the sugarcane in Annan, which was used by the emperor as well as the lychees in Lingnan.

Li Jia used it to make sugar.

In ancient times, sugar was always a expensive luxury item. Annan and Lingnan could still worship some sugar in Annan and Lingnan during the Tang Dynasty. However, by the end of the Five Dynasties, people in the Central Plains had long since heard of the sweetness of sugar.

"In Yongzhou, some farmers also see sugarcane growing in the wild, just to get some sweetness, or sell it or try it out, but few people make sugar. I think they don't care about the remoteness of Yongzhou, and no one knows how to make sugar!"

Li Jia shook her head and looked at the endless half-reclaimed wasteland. The black grass gray covered the ground. The staff held hoes and kept digging out the stone grass. Sometimes, they could even catch some hares.

"Panyu, Min, people are prosperous, and they know that sugar is naturally more common, so you can still see some sugar on the market. Jianwu Town is sparsely populated, so it is naturally difficult to find!"

Mr. Wang Ning looked at these lands, pondered for a moment, and said:

"If sugar is made, it is naturally feasible. The benefits are far more than rice and grain, and it can also make up for some deficit!"

"Although sugar is expensive, it is not scarce on the market. What I want is white sugar!" Li Jia said lightly.

"Baitang? I have heard of it in the books of the Tang people in the past. It has been hundreds of years since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. White sugar has long disappeared. I have lived in Panyu for many days when I was elected by the Shangshu Province in Panyu, but I have never heard of it!" Mr. Wang was shocked. This kind of rumored thing was simply amazing.

"I have my own tricks. Just arrange civil affairs. Only when sugar can one appear can there be sugar!" It is still necessary to maintain a sense of mystery, which is conducive to improving the prestige of the lord, as if Han Feizi said.

Besides, making sugar is also a secret recipe. If it is spread, wouldn’t it be a loss of wealth?

"If you use 5,000 hectares of fields to plant sugarcane, have you considered evaluating people's hands and feet?" asked Mr. Wang.

"Isn't this a good man?" Li Jia replied casually.

"There are only 5,000 people in our hands. Due to excessive rush, many people fled to the depths of the jungle and grew weak!"

"And, most of the five thousand people were pulled to the iron ore, and the remaining less than a thousand people, how could they serve these rice fields and sugarcane?"

"Is the manpower still insufficient?"

"No, there are too few people who are good at farming, and no matter how many people there are, it is difficult to deal with farming. The best choice is to have a mine!" Mr. Wang shook his head and said bluntly.

"Hainan Island is already sparsely populated, and Lingnan doesn't have to say anything. It's hard to have farmers who are skilled in farming!" Li Jia sighed. In this era of chaos, farmers are indeed scarce, and any government will watch them closely, because these are the foundation of the regime.

However, the Nanhan, which used heavy commerce as taxes, was exceptional and levyed heavily and used all the best.

"Can you just stare at Lingnan?" said Mr. Wang.

"What does this mean?"

"Since the Min Kingdom was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, Jianzhou and Tingzhou were merged by the Tang Dynasty, Fuzhou was stolen by Wu and Yue, and the Qingyuan Army was left with the land of the two states. Fortunately, King Zhongyi (Wang Shenzhi, Kai Min Shengwang) was in the remains of the two states. According to the merchants, the households were no less than that of the Han Dynasty, and Quanzhou was more prosperous than that of Panyu!"

"Since ancient times, there is a small amount of arable land, but now it is a breeding population. We can only rely on the business of merchants. Isn't this a blessing for the husband?"

"This..." When Li Jia heard this, she realized that the Qingyuan Army, which occupied two prefectures in Fujian, had a population of similar to that of the Southern Han Dynasty, and was densely populated, and was thalassinated, so many people were forced to engage in business and go overseas to make a living.

However, Li Jia had to admire Wang Shenzhi, who was able to control the barren land since ancient times, as he was a master of farming.

So, everything returned to its original place. What was placed in front of Li Jia was still lacking in manpower, but it became more advanced. What was lacking was skilled farmers and boatmen.

If you want to obtain these, you can only go north.

If nothing unexpected happens, the planting of seaweed and silk in Yongzhou has already taken the right path and needs some markets. Li Jia is also very annoyed by the middlemen to make a difference.

"At the sea, we rely on wood, canvas and wind. The first two are faithful and reliable, but the wind is a changeable counter. We are betrayed by this counter again!" The monotonous surface of the sea made people visually tired. Abdul suddenly cursed loudly: "Langjun, where is your destination?"

"I didn't expect that Abdul's Chinese language has become better and better recently, and I have learned to curse people!" Li Jia was in a good mood standing on the bow of the boat.

Since Danzhou, in addition to arranging some land reclamation, Li Jia has gone to Qiongzhou. The Li Chamber of Commerce has firmly taken the position of the four major chambers of commerce and has begun to lead the development of business in the entire Qiongzhou.
