Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 131

Two days later, Sun Xiangfu finally saw the sails of the Happiness at the Guangzhou Bay Wharf. Xuanzang and Li Chunfeng who came to hear the news were also relieved.

After the Happiness docked and stopped, Xi Junmai jumped off the ship first.

"You bought it late, you guys have been looking forward to it hard!"

"Hmph, you know you're late." Sun Xiangfu punched Mr. Xi in the chest, and saw that the guards who came ashore from the boat were all in good spirits, and Sun Xiangfu felt relieved. down.

"Hey, I brought you a gift." Xi Junmai smiled and clasped his hands together.

"Gift? Where is it?" Sun Xiangfu stretched out his hand.

"In the back, it may take half a day to see, but first I can show you their leaders." After Xi Junmai said, Shen Tuyong, who was wrapped in a lot of gauze, limped from the boat and was taken away. down.

Sun Xiangfu was naturally confused.

At this time, Xi Junmai told Sun Xiangfu about his experience in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

It turned out that as soon as Xi Junmai arrived in Hangzhou Bay, Wang Hao's subordinates detected his whereabouts, and first sent Shen Tuyong, the remnant of Kanling, to ambush him, but he was unexpectedly killed by Xi Junmai, and was captured alive. Shen Tuyong, Xi Jun bought more than 1000 younger brothers immediately.

When he took the fleet to Hangzhou City to buy medicine, the news was discovered by Wang Hao's people again. The seven clans and five surnames in this period are so awesome. In a word, no medicine shop in Hangzhou sells medicine to Mr. Xi. The person sent.

Not only in Hangzhou City, Xi Junmai learned after interrogating a shopkeeper of a pharmacy that no one would sell him medicine in the whole of Jiangnan, so Xi Junmai was annoyed, so he simply used robbery to drive more than 1000 water bandits , Within five days, they traveled to more than a dozen cities and robbed hundreds of pharmacies. Regardless of whether it was useful or useless, they first filled the Happiness, and then loaded Shentu Yong's large ships. Only after Shen Tuyong's family members were sent back did they return to Lingnan, several days later than expected.

"Uh, the gift you're talking about is more than 1000 water bandits?" Sun Xiangfu was taken aback.

"How is it? Surprised or not?" Xi Junmai said proudly.

"I am pleasantly surprised by your size. This is a problem." Sun Xiangfu almost rants. He is not a courtier, but he does not have the power to recruit bandits. Looting medicine shops in more than a dozen cities in the south of the Yangtze River is definitely a serious crime. The court still doesn't know how to deal with them Woolen cloth!What should I do if I take them in and kill them in the end?
"Uh, it's no big deal!" Xi Junmai scratched his scalp and said.In fact, he hadn't made it clear just now, the family members of the more than 1000 water bandits add up to 5000 people!
All right!Now Sun Xiangfu is not concerned about this point. Seeing Li Chunfeng and Xuanzang running off the boat in surprise, his heart is finally relieved.

"Call someone to unload the ship! There are many other diseases in the patient camp, and the poor can be cured." Li Chunfeng flicked his sleeves and ran over to the patient camp. Now, people there are in urgent need He is the attending doctor.

Xuanzang also followed quickly, but he was holding a big medicine box in his hand, which should have been picked out from the boat just now, presumably he wanted to hurry up to decoct the medicine for the patients who had run out of medicine.

In fact, there is no need for Sun Xiangfu to call for any manpower. After learning that the happiness was loaded with medicinal materials for treating patients, the Lingnan people who watched the excitement on the wharf spontaneously came to help unload the ship. The load capacity of the happiness is more than [-] shi. , Although it may not be so much, but after all the medicinal materials are unloaded, a hill is still piled up on the pier. Seeing these medicinal materials, the hearts of Lingnan people will be at ease.

Feng An dispatched more than a dozen carriages, and after walking three or four times, they gradually finished pulling them. When it was almost dark, six large ships and a dozen small and medium-sized ships entered the Guangzhou Bay Wharf, looking at a large number of women, children and children. , Sun Xiangfu is also a headache. After these rebels do not have Tang household registration, how to arrange them has to be decided by the court. Fortunately, the weather in Lingnan is hot, so it is not necessary to live in a house. They drew a flat ground and gave some materials such as straw mats, and they dealt with it tonight.

"Mr. Yue, why don't you give them a piece of land for convenience?" Sun Xiangfu waited for the family members of the water bandits to settle down before telling Feng An.

"Are they willing to settle in Lingnan?" Feng An asked with some surprise.

"Of course, do they have a choice?"

"The old man can't wait for it! But the initial conditions may be very difficult, even worse than your Baiyun Lake, they have to bear it." Feng An said happily after hearing the words.

In the land of Lingnan, there has never been such a large-scale migration of Han people. If there are more Han people, it will drive the development of local farming and all aspects. Of course, Feng An hopes for it.

"Then it's settled. However, the fields in Baiyun Lake are about to be finished, and it is imminent to go down to Jiaozhi."

"Go, go! Just leave Daoist Li and Master Xuanzang here. The old man has been to that place, and I will send you a man who is familiar with sea routes. With your fast boat, you can go back and forth in a few days." Feng An said very easily.

The Indochina Peninsula where Champa Rice is located is now Vietnam, and the southernmost part of Lingnan Road has already bordered it. Even if later generations drive by land, it is only more than 1000 kilometers away, and by sea, it is only a few hundred kilometers away.

The Happiness Sea is a five-bar sailboat. Later generations have a more scientific speed. The average speed is about 9 knots per hour, and it is 30 knots in an hour, which is more than [-] kilometers. On the return journey against the wind, you need to take a zigzag detour, and you can do it once every five or six days.

"In that case, I would like to thank Duke Yue."

Sun Xiangfu was short of people who were familiar with sea routes. After hearing this and thanking Feng An with his hands clasped, he went to buy it from Xi Jun and told him about the arrangement of people like Shen Tuyong.

"This one is the Master Sun I told you about."

In the temporary camp, Xi Junmai pointed to Sun Xiangfu who was slowly looking for him.Judging by the situation, the two of them are getting along pretty well these days.

"I'm Shen Tuyong, I've met my lord." Shentu Yong said with a worried look on his face, fisting Sun Xiangfu.

"No need to be too polite, I heard from Junmai that you are the former subordinate of General Kan Leng. Later, you fell into the grass and became a water bandit. Your Majesty has decreed to rehabilitate Du Fuwei and General Kan Leng after he ascended the throne. Do you know?"

"This, is this true? I don't know!" Shentu Yong was taken aback when he heard the words.

"Of course you don't know, that's because the master you serve doesn't want you to know, he wants you to work for him until you die."

The situation of Shen Tuyong's gang of water bandits has already been told by Xi Junmai just now. Sun Xiangfu, who has lived in Chang'an for so long, naturally knows many major events that happened in the past year, among which the emperor is Du Fuwei. Rehabilitation, the matter of a grand burial with the ceremony of the king, but this matter obviously did not spread to the water bandit village in Hangzhou Bay.

"These scum."

Although Shen Tuyong's talent is mediocre, he can be regarded as a loyal and brave person. Otherwise, he would not have fled from Huainan to overseas to become a bandit for Kan Leng's former family Xiaoluo. How could he not hate.

"These things are in the past, but now is your chance to choose to find a safe place for your brothers. Just now I told Yue Gong that he will let you live in Lingnan and allocate land for you. You cultivate, I wonder if you are willing to wait?"

"I am willing, of course I am willing. I have no choice but to take refuge under the sect of those aristocratic families in exchange for my life." Shen Tuyong looked at Sun Xiangfu with some anticipation.

"That's very good. These days, you will appease your people. You are plowing the fields and fishing for a living. When I come back from Jiaozhi, I will give you a plan. Anyway, you have settled in Lingnan ever since. .”

After saying this, Sun Xiangfu walked away. For now, Shentu Yong's trust value in his heart is not high, because he has not brought any benefits to Shentu Yong and the others.

Early the next morning, Sun Xiangfu went to the pier with his luggage on his back. Ah Yue, who was carrying the lychee, saw that he was about to board the boat, so she hugged his thigh and cried all the time. No matter what Sun Xiangfu explained, she was afraid that Sun Xiangfu would After Xiangfu left, he didn't come back, until the limping Shen Tuyong came to the pier with a large group of people, Ah Yue held back her tears.

"My lord, these 300-odd brothers have no homes and no mouths. They want to follow you on the boat and make a fortune. I don't know if your lord will agree."

"Okay! I just want to recruit a group of people who are used to walking on water! Let them go to the construction site of Baiyun Lake to build a house first, and I will arrange them in detail when I come back."

This year Yang Shunshui's workshop can build at least two or three sailboats like the Happiness. If he wants to quickly communicate with Lingnan, these boatmen and sailors are indispensable, not only these [-] people, but Sun Xiangfu will recruit more in the future. People, after all, after the Champa rice planting base is located in Lingnan, Sun Xiangfu may go to Lingnan every year, and he also needs to train talents for future voyages.

With Sun Xiangfu's consent, many young sailors finally let go of their worries. As for Baiyun Lake, they only need to ask someone, and they will definitely find it.

The Happiness left the port and headed towards Jiaozhi all the way through the waves. With the sailors arranged by Feng An, Sun Xiangfu didn't even need a self-made compass. After all, there are often small trade exchanges between Lingnan and Southeast Asian countries.

"It's finally time to do something serious."

"Is your lord talking about the kind of grain that yields several stones per mu?"

Zhao Long followed Sun Xiangfu in the fields of Baiyun Lake for a few days, so he naturally knew that his ultimate goal of going south this time was to get the Champa rice, and he was very much looking forward to it. After all, one mu of land can produce several stones of crops. He has never seen it.

"Actually, compared to that kind of rice, I want to see the giant elephant you mentioned more. I asked Feng Gong, and he said that the tribes near the south of the Lingnan also have that thing, but wild manpower is difficult. Tame, unless raised from childhood." Xi Junmai said with some anticipation.

The history of elephant taming in Nanman can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Three Kingdoms Period, there were records of elephant soldiers going to war. Later generations Sun Xiangfu watched a movie about elephants, which seems to refer to the tribal wars in Thailand in the fourth and fifth centuries. At that time, there were already a large number of elephant soldiers, and even armor specially made for elephants appeared on the battlefield.

Of course, wild elephants are not easy to tame even in the later generations with advanced science, but elephants are more efficient animals than cattle in the mountains and forests. At least they can quickly step on the barren mountains for people to pass. Unfortunately, the hull of the Happiness is still not big enough to transport adult elephants directly. If there are baby elephants, he doesn't mind getting a few back to domesticate them slowly.
