Nearly [-] miles away from Tokyo, at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, Puro Middle Island.

To be precise, the long-established name of Puluozhong Island has become a thing of the past. Since Guo Liangping led the invasion last year, fought against the Three Buddhas and successfully captured the island, it changed its name to Liangping.

For Guo Liangping's behavior of inviting names, many officials in the court were not used to it, and felt that it was arrogant and arrogant. Of course, some jealousy and sourness were unavoidable.

After all, who doesn't want to leave a name in the history, but there are only a few who are full of history and can make a name for themselves, and it is even more difficult to impress others.

As for Guo Liangping, He Dehe Neng, he just led the Nanyang Navy in an armed game to bully a small barbarian country.Even engraving a stele on a stone to remember meritorious service is acceptable. After all, there is such a tradition, but it seems a bit ostentatious to occupy the territory with his own name.

In fact, Guo Liangping regretted it a little after the performance, and felt that it was inappropriate. He was also disturbed by his subordinates' instigation.Fortunately, the result was good. After Emperor Liu learned of this, he didn't care about it, and responded that the territory was taken down by others, and it was reasonable to use his life.

It is a matter of course for people to cut through the waves, risk their lives to travel to Nanyang, open up the territory, and pay them for their fame.Not only did the issue of the name pass, the imperial court set up a county in the follow-up, covering the entire island, strait and many surrounding islands and reefs.

This is also the second overseas territory of Dahan besides Liuqiu. The first is Jeju Island, which was won from Goryeo.And there is no doubt that this is the most distant territory of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, this also means that on the basis of years of exploration, Dahan has made further progress in the development of Nanyang. It no longer stops at setting up strongholds, operating commerce and trade, and formally establishing an administrative management system. , A larger-scale expedition to Nanyang is about to start.King Yong Liu Chengxun's southern tour actually represented a trend.

Liangping Island is not a big place, but its location is indeed excellent. It is located at the key point of access from east to west, and has sufficient port resources.Before the Han people invaded, it was already a prosperous land. Just by collecting taxes on merchant ships from east and west, the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom obtained huge wealth from it.

It can be said that the strong and domineering of the big man, and the use of force to seize it is to cut the flesh from the body of the Three Buddhas.However, power is truth, and if you can't beat it, you can't beat it.

However, the facts have proved that in terms of operating ability, the natives of Nanyang are completely incomparable with the Han. In just over a year, Liangping Island has undergone earth-shaking changes, becoming more prosperous and more orderly.

As the first and only territory where the Han Dynasty has established an administrative system in Nanyang, it naturally attracts Han businessmen and people from Nanyang to flock here. In addition to its own thoroughfare transfer function, it is also because it is the most secure place.

After all, there are government offices, officers and soldiers here, and the Nanyang Fleet has been stationed for a long time.Therefore, a large number of Han merchants and Han people who went to Nanyang to make a fortune began to buy land and properties here as a habitat base.

As for the Han people who are still going south from the mainland, most of them choose to settle on Liangping Island as their first stop, and then plan for follow-up development.In just over a year, the new population of Liangping Island has exceeded 4, most of whom are Han Chinese.The entire Liangping Island now has a population of more than [-].

The first county magistrate of Liangping County, named Liu Shaoping, was the first group of people to go to Nanyang.Of course, as a position that can be registered in the Ministry of Officials, it is not something that ordinary people can hold.The reason for choosing this person is because he is a member of the Liu family in Quanzhou.

As for the Liu family in Quanzhou, since Liu Congxiao, the envoy of the Zhangquan Festival, has surrendered to the imperial court. Even though civil strife occurred later and Chen Hongjin seized power, after the reunification, Emperor Liu thought of the loyalty and obedience of the Liu family. for being kind to them.

The son of Liu Congxiao, Liu Shaoyi, was first granted the title of Zhang Guogong, and then changed to Yongchun Marquis. His status was completely consolidated, and he was also a nobleman of the Han Dynasty.Among all the vassals and lords, the treatment is not the best, but the life is the most nourishing. (There is another one who lives more transparently, that is, Guangtong Marquis Liu Yu, who is sometimes called "Contemporary Adou")
The Liu family was originally a famous family of the Zhangquan generation. With this relationship, plus Liu Shaoping was originally a leader among Han merchants in Nanyang, and with Guo Liangping's support, he was the first county magistrate. So logical.

For Liu Shaoping, this is also a rare opportunity. He is only a branch of the Liu family, and he has no direct blood relationship with the brothers Liu Congxiao.When he was in the country, it was very difficult for him to have such an opportunity to become an official of the imperial court.Compared with the mainland, in Liangping County, the real emperor of the land, who holds the power of life and death, does not need to ask the country for instructions, and of course there is no such condition.

For Liu Shaoping, who is good at doing business, running a county is also handy, and of course, it is easier.This place is in the stage of barbaric growth, there is no need to do anything to educate the people, to teach farming and mulberry, or even to worry about the suffering of the people's livelihood, everything is for profit and business, and he is especially good at this.

There are dozens of rivers in Liangping Island. Although they are not large in scale, they also give birth to this land.The largest one, no longer than ten miles, runs through the whole island from north to south, and was named "Yongji River" by the Liangping County Government.The water here is gentle and the river is winding, which is also convenient for loading and unloading goods.

Therefore, Hekou Port is also the first place to develop. It is currently the largest and most prosperous port on Liangping Island, and it is still expanding and developing.After Liu Shaoping took office, he carried out a large-scale rectification of the port. Along the banks of the river, shops and warehouses sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Here, there will be no shortage of manpower, and of course, noble Han lords will not be used. They are more engaged in various business activities and acting as supervisors.The islands are full of natives, and they can be caught and whipped to work, while the county government only needs to pay some cheap copper coins, and it doesn't even cost anything.For more than a year, the bones of Nanyang aborigines have been buried under every new building on Liangping Island.

In the port, there are always sails and masts, both western sailing ships and eastern sea ships, shuttling like weaving, and coming and going.At the same time, in the port, a Nanyang squadron has been stationed for a long time, which is the greatest force guarantee for the Han merchants and people.

However, due to the confusion of military and civilian use, and the pressure brought by more and more merchant ships, Liangping County has already planned to open a new port and build dock facilities. A good port with good geography can also carry larger and more ships.

July is when the southwest monsoon prevails, and this time of the year is the busiest time for Liangping Island’s business. A large number of merchant ships from the west, loaded with goods, arrive one after another.According to experience, starting from Persia, following the monsoon across the Great Food Sea, it can be reached in January.

Merchants from Persia, Tianzhu and other places brought goods and exotic customs.Under the management of the Han people, Liangping Island has also become an exchange station for east-west commodity trade.

Many merchants from the West choose to trade with those Han merchants who have abundant resources. Of course, there are also many people who are curious about the Eastern Empire and want to obtain more benefits. They only choose to stop temporarily and replenish food After drinking water, continue north and follow the mature waterway to the mainland for trading.

But the prosperity of Liangping Port is indeed due to the credit of those Western businessmen, who are also porters of trade exchanges between the East and the West.
