Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 59
As October approaches, the temperature in various parts of Liaodong has begun to drop sharply, and all parts of the country are busy preparing for winter.

The same is true in Jilin County. The land here is flat, fertile, and water sources are abundant. Grain production is increasing year by year, and the lives of the people are fairly stable.

In future generations, this is the famous granary in the Northeast, and the grain output accounts for a very high proportion of the country...

It's just that Jilin County was established in the Han Dynasty for more than [-] years. Although the population has been growing rapidly, the total population is still scarce. No matter how good the land is, it needs someone to cultivate it...

General Long Wei also took care of Liaodong when he went to Mobei. After all, he knew the resources of later generations such as the timber from the Greater Khingan Mountains, the fertile soil of the Northeast Plain, and the Daqing Oilfield...

So Goguryeo was also tragic, and a large piece of land was cut off, and the Dahan had Jilin County, which belonged to the Youzhou Governor's Department.

Until now, although the general is gone, Jilin County is still stable, and the number of households in the county has increased from the initial thousand to more than [-].

The rapid development of Jilin County is due to the pioneering of several big families in the county. Of course, the leader is the Gongsun family. Today, nearly half of the land in the county belongs to the Gongsun family. Xianbei descended from the Murong family.

Most of the original native Goguryeo people were reduced to Zhuang slaves.

But to say that the Chang family has developed the fastest in recent years. The patriarch, Chang Yi, Chang Gongwang, only started business here a few years ago. Later, he gradually moved his tribe to the northern part of Jilin County, reclaimed wasteland, built villages, and relied on the financial resources brought by business to control the area. It is also rapidly expanding...

The days are getting shorter and shorter in Liaodong, and it is getting dark before the end of Shen Shi. At this time, Chang Yi brought several stewards to the side door of the main house to welcome the distinguished guests.

"Brother Gongwang hasn't seen you for many years, and his body is getting stronger and stronger. Congratulations!"

Ouyang Chong laughed as soon as he entered the door, because Chang Yong's figure has always been thin.

"Master Chong still likes to joke like this... Chang Yi pays homage to my master!"

That's right, Chang Yi is also a member of the Longwei Mansion, the adopted son of Ouyang Qi in the past, and the entire power of the Chang Clan in Liaodong was actually developed secretly by the Longwei Mansion, just to prevent the Gongsun Clan from becoming suspicious, and deliberately put Chang Yi Push it to the surface.

After parting with Mr. Ouyang, Ouyang Chong took a boat to the Liaodong base in Longwei Mansion. After inspecting and dealing with it, he went to Jilin County today for unannounced visits...

Ouyang Chong has always been very concerned about the development of Longwei Mansion's influence in Liaodong.

He has loved horse riding since he was a child and is very talented. After receiving the guidance of a famous teacher, his horse riding skills have naturally improved by leaps and bounds. He was also praised by Ban Yong in the mansion, saying that he can be regarded as the No. 1 in Longwei riding!
Later, he learned all kinds of cavalry tactics by himself, and thought he was the most suitable person to lead Liaodong after the uprising...

But not long ago, Fan Shan, Ban Yong and other veterans sent Ban Shan here to lead the plan to restore the Far East base, which made him feel a sense of crisis, so he took advantage of this time to accompany Ouyang Jun on his inspection tour, and came here no matter what. A trip to Liaodong, show a good performance...

After a little politeness with Chang Yong, he went into the room to rest alone, without any intention of listening to the other party's report.

Because he felt that instead of sitting in the house and listening to others, it would be better to go out tomorrow and see for himself. Before coming to Changfu, he had already checked all over Jilin...

But after a while, Ouyang Chong, who was about to rest, was disturbed by the attendants who knocked on the door to report.

"My lord, the person who went to inquire about the whereabouts of Liu, Guan, and Zhang has returned..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In South Chu City on the Indo-China Peninsula, Wei Xun finally returned with Yan Yan, and the king of Southern Chu, Wei Zhen, who had received the news in advance, also went out of the city to meet them in person.

But this welcome ceremony is very special. They set up some sheds in advance on the way into the city, and then dug several large pits under the sheds, and then boiled hot water and put them in the pits... then sprinkled salt and pepper..., no , is to put lime, saline and some other medicinal materials...

That's right, it is to take a hot bath for the soldiers on the expedition, and of course the "trophies" they captured.

These processes did not exist before, although someone mentioned it to Wei Zhen back then, but he did not pay attention to it, so tragedy happened...

It was also Yan Yan who returned to the army ten years ago. After thousands of captives entered Nanchu City, a plague broke out in the city within a few days!

Having learned a painful lesson, Wei Zhen naturally remembered what his elder brother had said, so taking a bath became a routine for the Southern Chu army returning to the city.

The main thing is to sterilize and kill viruses, especially for captives who have lived in the jungle for many years, the small animals and bacteria on their bodies are simply flooded...

The long-haired barbarians also have special shampoo pits, because their hair can be equivalent to a "warehouse" for parasites...

Of course, they also bathe with men and women... They are talking about the barbarians. The Southern Chu army does not have female soldiers, and the soldiers are uniformly washed first, and no one is willing to bathe with the barbarians, even if there are women among them...

The bathing process of these barbarians is actually not at all imaginative. After all, blood will be the majority. Many barbarians who don’t understand their intentions will think that the Han people want to cook them and eat them, so they resist fiercely...

Even before the "entry into the pit", someone from the Southern Chu Army would explain in several barbaric languages, and then demonstrate, but there was still resistance.

Even in later generations, there are quite a few people who take a bath only once in a few months... Even the mention of taking a bath changes their face...

So this can also be considered as a screening... or as an enlightenment.

Of course, not many people were screened out.

Then those who take a bath through the big pit can receive a set of rewards... Sackcloth, as for their previous "clothes", in the eyes of Nanchu people, of course they can't ask for it.

So receiving the reward is also considered an enlightenment...

After arriving here, there will be countless times of "enlightenment" to welcome them until they completely become a part of the Southern Chu people.

----

"Father, do you think you have found 'Nanyang' this time?"

Generals such as Wei Xun and Yan Yan naturally had a place to take a bath alone. After washing, they also went to the main hall in the city to discuss with Wei Zhen.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, it should be 'Nanyang' without a doubt..."

Wei Zhen said while holding the map drawn by Wei Xun's entourage during this expedition.

Of course, this is a simplified version. In the future, follow-up personnel will need to supplement and correct many times to ensure accuracy.

So Wei Zhen can only be roughly sure, after all, of course, he has only seen the so-called "world map" a few times, and can only identify it from memory...

"In this way, people can be sent there to develop towns, expand land and raise people, set up ports, and train naval forces. After a few years, we can implement the 'navigation and commerce' that my father said!"

Wei Xun is young and energetic, and he is very excited after being affirmed.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, this is an opportunity for the rise of our Southern Chu Kingdom!"

Yan Yan also said with a smile.

"Well... Meng Wei has worked so hard for the great achievements of the patrol this time. The lonely king has ordered people to prepare a banquet. This is a golden opportunity. You should celebrate with wine! The two of you go to rest for a while, and the rest We will discuss the matter in detail tomorrow..."

Meng Wei is Wei Zhen's name for Yan Yan. Thinking that when Wei Zhen recruited Yan Yan, he was only 17 years old and hadn't written his name yet. Wei Zhen also said happily with reminiscence.

But Wei Xun still wanted to say something...

Along the way, he and Yan Yan discussed how to develop the new land, and even formed a set of implementation plans in their minds, because it was discovered by him, and it was also a breakthrough point for the future of Southern Chu, so Wei Xun couldn't wait to get it out as soon as possible. develop.

If you want to develop and start sailing on the "South Sea" coast, you need a large population, and they are real Nanchu people, and you can't just rely on captives...

So here comes the problem. Although the development momentum of Southern Chu is very good now, it is full of calculations. It has only been 20 years since the Han people came here, and the second generation of people has just come of age...

The population gap is still huge, although the people are already working hard to have children... After all, most of the Han people in this era hope to have many children and grandchildren without too much economic pressure.

But because the base is low and the survival rate is not high...

But Wei Xun has found a temporary solution!
But when he was excited and wanted to speak freely, he was pulled by Yan Yanqiang to rest...
