Li Anle climbed Qishan without fear of hard work and looked at the situation at the port.

Large areas of houses poured out like mushrooms after a rain. The construction of piers began to be built along the harbor, and they have already taken shape.

However, in less than fifteen days, Qizhou Port has been operating quite well.

Qizhou Port is a good port. The place is quite large and the docking place is very deep. As long as the pier and pier are built, large ships can dock directly.

There are some ports where large ships cannot go directly to the shore and have to park on the sea surface. Cargo personnel rely on small boats to turn around, so they cannot be considered good ports.

Of course, Qizhou is a good port, more than twenty miles from east to west and more than ten miles from north to south. It is all plains, and the depth of the port's water flow is very suitable.

After the King of Zhongshan arrived in Qizhou, he went directly to the port and began to plan and direct the transfer of merchants and people in Nan'an towns.

Now in front of Li Anyuan are the transferred soldiers of the government.

The gray short robe looked very shocking from a distance. Li Anyuan was stunned and stared at it, making a meaningless sound from his mouth.

There were more than 3,000 soldiers transferred at one time, and there were more than 10,000 in Qizhou Port. Before that, they helped burn the wasteland, plow the fields, weed, dozens of them, pulling huge stone mills to flatten the land at the port, and build wharfs and roads.

After more than ten days, various major projects gradually came on track. More than a hundred ships of all sizes moved the Nan'an town to the Dongfan day and night. More than 100,000 people had been removed, and tens of thousands were still in Qizhou Port, and there were still a steady stream of people coming to Qizhou Port.

The large and small ships were moored on the simple dock. Although the gray-robed soldiers were bare-handed, they lined up in extremely neat rows, rushing up amid the whistle. The whole movement of boarding the boat was extremely simple. However, Li Anyuan looked back and said to the people around him: "The strength of the Zhongshan Prefecture Army is amazing. If you can almost do such a formation, the imperial guards will not be able to make it. If the wing army is not yet successful, there will definitely be chaos. These prefecture troops are not yet gathered for a term, and that's how it looks. In time, the elite troops will definitely surpass the imperial guards."

"What the lord said is very true."

"The elite army of the government is amazing."

The people around Li Anyuan were also amazed and joined forces.

"It depends on the money and food." Li Anyuan looked for a while and pondered: "Twenty-three hundred thousand people moved, I see that there are more than ten thousand tents in Qizhou. When you go to the Dongfan, you can eat, wear and live in the latter. If you don't have enough food, you will have a big problem. The same is true in Qizhou."

"Yeah." Li Anyuan seemed to want to convince himself, and emphasized again: "Money and grain, what is most important is money and grain!"

...

"I've been together for a while and I'll be separated again." Xu Zixian held Chen Wenjun's hand and said with a serious expression: "It's so bitter that Wenjun is."

Chen Wenjun's face turned slightly red, and she probably wasn't very suitable for being so close to Xu Zixian.

"After arriving on the island, be careful not to adapt to the environment and don't go out easily. Let's talk about it after getting used to it. Although the epidemic is under control, there are still people who have attacked. Be careful."

Xu Zixian was not under any psychological pressure and kept reminding Chen Wenjun in front of everyone.

A few months later, the water conservancy of farmland, rivers and ditches, and large-scale burning of wasteland were dug everywhere, which probably destroyed the original ecological environment on the island. It may be that there were fewer mosquitoes and fewer parasites in fresh water. In addition, drinking boiled water and other measures, as well as mosquito nets, incense and other prevention measures to prevent rats and mosquitoes. There are currently less than twenty patients in the isolation hospital on the island, and there are very few newly admitted patients.

Even if there are more than 100,000 people ashore, the pressure on epidemic prevention is not great, because people have figured out the plague and have a treatment prescription.

"I understand." Chen Wenjun got rid of his shyness, blinked openly, and said with a smile: "After I arrive at the Dongfan, I don't have to worry too much about everything. However, you should be careful only when you are close to the battlefield in Qizhou."

Xu Zixian smiled and said, "I led 500 cavalry. No one could stop me on Fujian Road, which hurt me. Besides, I mainly focus on observation and construction in Qizhou. The first battle is definitely my Uncle Wang to fight."

Xu Zixian's voice became colder and his face became colder.

The imperial envoy has returned from the capital.

As expected, shortly after Xu Zixian arrived at Fujian Road, the two prefectures were willing to support him, but the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion was obviously shallow in Fujian Road. At this moment, Han Zhong could not say that he had got rid of King Zhao and handed over the command of the war to Xu Zixian, the deputy governor.

King Zhao received an edict to fight against the bandits and was given Huang Yue, and was in charge of the troops and horses of Fujian Road, and was the general manager of the troops and horses.

Lin Douyao was ordered to cooperate and lead the logistics of money and food.

The transfer commander Zhao Debang was ordered to cooperate, but the center did not intend to allocate money and grain, and even the tax was delayed and no reduction was allowed.

The court was also struggling. Once the entrance to Fujian Road was opened, the places where bandits were in trouble such as Jingnan and Henan would follow suit. If all walks of life could follow suit, the court would be unable to support it.

"Brother, take care of yourself." The younger sister didn't say anything, and Xu Zixian didn't specifically remind her that the younger sister was quite familiar with the situation in the Dongfan. With her around, Chen Wenjun would quickly adapt and manage the affairs of the Dongfan royal family.

The waves slammed, and the big ship quickly raised its anchor and raised its sails. It was led by the small boat into the sea from the estuary of the river. Xu Zi first waved goodbye to his wife and younger sister.

"The first thing is money and grain." Xu Zixian said to Fang Shaoqun beside him: "The resettlement of refugees, building houses, and building ports. The Dongfan side should add oxen and horse farm tools, and build houses and divide settlements. These things cannot be done without two million guan. If you have money, you can do things well. People will be at peace, and the morale of the army will be high. The new army soldiers will recruit more than 20 troops and stationed in the Dongfan training. They will participate in the suppression of bandits, suppress the indigenous peoples in the central and northern regions, and gain practical experience. After a few months, it will be available, but the first thing is money and grain."

"The king understands what he said very well." Fang Shaoqun bowed and said with a slightly excited expression: "If everything goes well, your highness will cover Fujian before the end of the year."

"Um."

Xu Zi didn't say much, but the water flowed in front of him was constantly blowing on the shore. All his troops were quite obvious, just retreating, accumulating strength, and preparing. Then, after King Zhao failed, he suddenly attacked and cleaned up the mess.

Retreat may not be timid and cowardly. Sometimes, the process of success will be accelerated by appropriate retreat and accumulation of energy.

All Xu Zixian's troops were based on the fact that King Zhao would definitely defeat, which also made many people feel suspicious, and only Fang Shaoqun in front of him firmly believed that he would not doubt it.

Fang Shaoqun stood with his hands, but he looked calm and calm. He said to Xu Zixian: "If you hand over the affairs of the king to Lord Li and others, you must trust them. Only by being one of the king and the prime minister can you accomplish something."

"I know, I know." Xu Zixian laughed in silence, waved his hand, and refused to continue discussing such trivial matters with Fang Shaoqun.

Unexpectedly, Fang Shaoqun said: "Mr. Li is kind and steady, but meticulous and meticulous. Kong He is stingy for business. If his subordinates have affairs, he is the most generous in giving money. Therefore, people are flirting on the surface, but in fact they respect him extremely. Such people are meticulous and sensible in their hearts. If they are so meticulous and sensible, they will not be bad. Fu Qian is smarter than others, and is still a bit greedy for money, but they are only smart, but also talented. Chen Zuocai and others are also smart, some are heavy, some are good at accounting and financial affairs, and some are knowledgeable about business operations. Everyone is devoted to the affairs of the Dongfan. With them, the king really doesn't have to worry too much. Instead, dispatching troops, hiding minions, and thunder strikes at critical moments to save Tianqing. This is what the king should consider at this time."

"Well, what you said," Xu Zixian smiled suddenly and said, "Authentica, what you said is my advantages and strengths. I am ridiculously worried about it here."

"The cavalry army has not yet been completed." Fang Shaoqun accepted Xu Zixian's affirmation without hesitation and then said: "The cavalry camp will be of great use at the critical moment. In addition, if King Zhao leads the imperial guards to be defeated, the king will definitely have a thunderous momentum to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, otherwise the war will continue and will not be stopped within a few years. It will be very difficult to master the Fujian Road, influence Jingnan, Jingbei, Liangzhe, and then Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. Therefore, I would like to make suggestions below that all the troops need to be transferred to the army and all the Dian soldiers and generals and elite soldiers will be transferred to Qizhou to prepare for war. Except for Liu Yire's navy who stayed in Penghu and Pinggudong, the rest of them will all arrive."

After the war, the current military preparations of the Dongfan were actually three infantry armies, one navy and one cavalry battalion, and the force was still about nine thousand.

The recruited new troops are not useful, and their combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the guards.

Xu Zixian pondered for a moment and felt that what Fang Shaoqun said was quite reasonable. He originally planned to use old soldiers to lead new soldiers to practice the battlefield. However, bandits are indeed different from pirates. They are like wildfires. When they are boiled, everything really does not exist and has great destructive power. Moreover, their vitality is extremely strong. If you are not careful, it will burst out again. If you try it out, it will take a lot of effort.

If you don’t have all your strength, you may be in trouble if you neglect it.

"We still need to increase the cavalry when suppressing bandits." Xu Zi first thought for a while and decided: "Pick more horses in the horse farm and select soldiers who pass the horse skills among the army. No, as long as they can barely ride horses. Then form a few infantry battalions that can ride horses to make sure they are perfect."

"The king thought clearly." Fang Shaoqun showed an admiration on his face. This time he didn't say anything more, but just leaned over and bowed.

...

"This month, the raw shredded, tea, sugar, beans, salt, and the goods sold out were sold for 1.1 million guan. After deducting the cost, the net profit was about 400,000 guan."

There were crowds of chaos everywhere on the pier. Li Yi, Kong He and others greeted the princess on the pier. After everyone greeted him, Chen Wenjun generously encouraged many officials, and then escorted the guards to the Huaxi Prince's Mansion Villa villa villa villa villa villa villa villa escorted him.

Tens of thousands of island residents, officials, soldiers, and newly arrived immigrants saw the princess, and also saw the princess being generous and encouraged the officials and soldiers.

This scene is quite impressive. Li Yi's mood is very good at this time. Although he is in a downtown dock, his government affairs have been more than ten times more busy recently, and he is still in a good mood.

Kong He said, and then said: "Forty-hundred thousand guan, one hundred thousand guan is a re-export trade. It is really not high to seek profit. The highest is salt profit, which is less than ten thousand guan. Foreign merchants are still waiting for the seeds to ship the goods."

Dongfan salt has completely occupied the markets in the southern regions, with much better quality than official salt, and the price is the same as private salt. Private salt dealers from all over the country have been almost swept away.

For private salt dealers, the Zhongshan Palace is simply a life-and-death enemy. Their way of life has been squeezed and swept away, and there is no more.

But these people are dissatisfied with the remarks of the proposals and requests Xu Zixian would not care about it. Private salt dealers are bold and brave. They are all cruel people who keep their heads in their hands to make money. Most of them are bandits and thieves from all over the country. They sell private salt when they are profitable, and they rob their families when they are not profitable. The resentment of these people is just right, which confirms Xu Zixian's image in the eyes of the gentry and is very beneficial to win over people's hearts in the future.

Of course, the share of official salt will also be greatly lost, but generally speaking, it should be within the tolerance range of transportation in various places.

The salt farm in Dongfan has expanded more than ten times, and the monthly wages are almost over 10,000 yuan. Nearly two thousand salt workers are responsible for more than 20 large salt drying farms, constantly producing salt. Even so, they still cannot catch up with the share of foreign merchants who come to buy.

"I have greeted Mr. Chen (Chen Duzhu)." Kong He whispered to Li Yi: "It is imperative to issue salt tickets. Now, everyone is waiting with money. It is not a solution. Everyone pays to buy tickets first and ships according to the ticket purchase time. Everyone should pass the crap in the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion. In this way, they can get hundreds of thousands or even millions of coins every month."

"Yes," Li Yi nodded and said, "This is one."

"Second," Kong He continued: "There is insufficient grain storage on the island, mainly due to insufficient rice. Even if the oil mill continues to press oil, our bean reserves are still more than 2 million stones. I have negotiated with many grain merchants that we exchange beans for grain, two stones for beans for one stone of brown rice, or four stones for one stone of refined rice. The trouble of insufficient grain reserves can be solved."

This idea is also quite good. In fact, southerners mainly eat rice, and eat noodles with some pasta such as flat food, soup cakes, etc. Usually, rich people eat fine rice and brown rice without money. On Fujian Road, Penghu and Dongfan, there has always been a tradition of bean cultivation, but beans are mostly used to squeeze oil. Only the poorest families will cook beans for eating, which is for hunger, so they do not consider the taste or something.

In the past six months, grain prices have soared, brown rice has risen to two consecutive stones, and mixed grains such as beans have also reached a high price of one regular stones, and the poor people in the country are more willing to buy mixed grains.

After all, beans are not bad at nutrition, half cheaper than brown rice. One stone of beans is enough for the poor in a family of five to eat for three months. Of course, the premise is that they have to be equipped with a large amount of wild vegetables, oil, salt and a certain amount of meat and fish intake, otherwise they will still die of malnutrition.

The use of beans to exchange for food was actually inspired by Li Yi. He planned to exchange it with squeezed soybean oil. After all, everyone knows that salt cannot be separated from oil, and that it is impossible to separate from oil. If you don’t get any oil star every day, even if you eat enough, you still don’t have the strength to do heavy work.

However, it will take some time to sell oil or change grain. Kong He simply decided to exchange beans for rice. Many large grain merchants on Fujian Road agreed and rushed to reserve shares.

Kong He said again: "There are more than 40,000 pieces of cotton spun, and there will be about 150,000 pieces next. The harvest in the first season is 200,000 pieces, which is quite good."

Li Yidao: "Pick out a lucky ship and send two more ships to two, so that Chen Daojian would not have to be in Nan'an, and take the fleet to Japan, take off the first batch of cotton cloth, and build a stable business road."

Kong He bowed his fists and said, "Mr. Li is very decisive, and there is no need to wait for the cotton cloth to be spun out before taking action. Although the Japanese have communicated well, this generation is not my race, so it is better to be careful. Besides, bulk cotton cloth is worth 2 million yuan, so we must find a rich and bold enough merchant to eat it. We cannot sell it slowly in Japan, which takes time and the payment is too slow."

Li Yi showed a firm look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness entrusts us with the affairs of the island. How can you not use more thoughts? Immigration, war, etc., without money and food is a tree without roots. We can only do our best to do these things for the king."

"Yes, the subordinates also have a general idea." Kong He didn't say much, but the fatigue and excitement on his face were mixed together. During these times, he had to do things well and find ways to open up wealth. At the same time, he was responsible for settling new immigrants, managing the island's money and food affairs every day, and developing wealth. He also made this general manager who was responsible for financial planning very tired.

Li Yi said again: "Fu Qian is also very tired. After His Highness fights against the thieves and establishes himself in Fujian, everyone should be more relaxed."

"It may not be." Kong He smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness has lofty ambitions and extraordinary ambitions. Fujian Road, Guangnan Road and Jinghu Road should be the next goal. Integrating the local area, guarding the south, guarding the south for the court, training the troops and going north to fight against Hu, this is what Your Highness wants to do most."
