The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1499

All the forces on the island have been gathered together. Originally, Zhu Zhen’s power has changed from the first on the island to the fourth. At least there is a small village for him to be at the bottom. Zhu Zhen is dead, and now the camp is led by Zhu Laosan .

Although there is a city here, the Tang army only stationed most of its troops here, allocating 5000 people, and still had to return to the original camp. The port is convenient for subsequent exchanges between the Central Plains and the island.

Tang Jun has something to do, and the people on this island cannot be idle.

On this day, Xuan Shijing gathered the leaders of the five factions into the city. It was already five days after taking down the last faction on the island. It's not the elders in the village, but Da Zhuang who holds the military power.

If Da Zhuang comes, it will save Xuan Shijing a little bit of worry. After all, the elders of the village are indeed not someone who can conspire with him. In the future, the person in charge of the village must be Da Zhuang.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. The same is true for that stockade. Although its confidence is a bit weak, it is still a party force, with more than 5000 soldiers and horses.

After everyone gathered together, Xuan Shijing straight to the point and talked about the next thing to do, which was to open the mine under the leadership of Tang Jun.

Of course, instead of letting the people on this island work for nothing, using them as black miners to help the Tang army open mines is also beneficial. For example, the navy's warships will go back to Quanzhou first, purchase daily necessities, and lead craftsmen Come over and help the people on the island build towns and improve their lives. The imperial court will also send officials to set up government offices in Ryukyu to govern Ryukyu Island. The condition for the people on this island to live a good life is to help the Tang army open mines .

What Tang Jun got from this island was far greater than what Tang Jun paid. This is also a business, a business that can make Datang profitable.

The location of Ryukyu Island is excellent. After setting up prefectures and counties in the future, apart from the Quanzhou naval base, Datang can also set up a naval base here. The important thing is the water silk road that Xuan Shijing and His Majesty Li Er mentioned before, and the future era of great navigation.

If the navy of Datang is still standing still, it will not be able to keep up with the pace of the court's decision-making, nor can it keep up with the pace of Datang.

Therefore, Datang is developing rapidly, whether it is civilians or the imperial army, they must walk steadily on the road of development and follow closely behind, otherwise they will only be eliminated by the times.

The reason why Datang develops rapidly, and the reason why Chang'an has millions of people active every day is because Datang stands in the east with an open and inclusive attitude. Today's Datang should not only be open and inclusive, but also take an active attitude, Take the initiative to add more brilliant colors.

"Everyone, I called you here today to discuss the next actions." Xuan Shijing said.

It's a discussion, but it's actually following Xuan Shijing's orders, but the words are nicer, and everyone present understands it in their hearts.

"I'll follow Duke Xuan's orders." Yang Fu was very smart and took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Exactly."

As soon as Yang Fu expressed his opinion, the remaining four people also echoed.

Zhu Laosan's eldest brother and second brother were both dead, and the death of the two also frightened Zhu Laosan. Tang Jun can kill people, so it's better to listen to Tang Jun's words honestly.

Xuan Shijing glanced at everyone and nodded: "Okay, then I will be blunt. Earlier, our army found a gold mine on the mountain. Now that the island has been established, it is time to mine the gold mine. I will send [-] soldiers to guard the gold mine, as for the task of mining, what do you guys think?"

The five people sitting in the hall looked at each other.

When Xuan Shijing said this, the meaning was already very obvious. The gold mine was to be dug by them. As for the gold dug up, it had nothing to do with them, it was all Tang Jun's.

Did Tang want this island for the gold mines on the island?

"What? Don't you have any comments?" Liu Ren wished to see that no one was talking in the hall, so he asked.

"This..." Yang Fu looked at Liu Renyuan, and then at Xuan Shijing: "This mining job. For a while, I can persuade the soldiers in the army to help, but the lack is not a long-term solution."

Yang Fu gave a compromise answer, mining is fine, but if the people on this island want to mine for Datang for the rest of their lives, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "I see, do you want to hear what I think?"

"Please tell me, Mr. Xuan." Wang Xiwei cupped his fists and said.

"This island will definitely be governed by officials from the Tang Dynasty in the future, and the port outside the city will also be built by the Tang army. In the future, it will directly face the seaport on the other side of Quanzhou. Ships from the two places will communicate with each other. There will be a steady stream of materials sent here by ships at sea, and craftsmen from the Central Plains will come to this island to help build cities and towns." Xuan Shijing said: "On the other hand, on this island, what things can be used to communicate with others? In exchange? When mining gold mines, the army will distribute wages to the people on the island. Those who are able will work more and those who are able will get more. When businessmen from the Central Plains come here, there will not be a single person on this island. You can’t even take it out, can you?”

Xuan Shijing was not afraid that they would mine gold mines without permission. Tang Jun was still stationed on the island and would not leave for a while. Who would dare to make trouble under Tang Jun's nose?Tang Jun was angered, and they really stayed on the island, but they were the ones who were unlucky.

"If you want to get it, you need to pay first. Is what I said clear enough?" Xuan Shijing asked with a smile.

The crowd nodded.

"If that's the case, everyone, go back and think about what to do. Let's get together tomorrow. Before we think about it, let's stay in the city." Xuan Shijing laughed.

If you can't figure it out, maybe there's no need to go back.

Tang Jun captured Zhu Zhen's camp with thunderous momentum, captured and killed Zhu Zhen, and shocked the people on the entire island, and let them see Tang Jun's combat effectiveness clearly. The 5000 people guarding the city died in sevens and eighties, and the Tang army had already established its reputation.

Xuan Shijing also said earlier that things like the army are not used to make people fear, but to make people afraid. Obviously, people on this island are now afraid of Tang Jun.

Only when they know how to be afraid, they will be honest and want to show favor. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and it will not be too late to talk about favors after the situation here has really settled down.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Renyuan looked at Xuan Shijing.

"Xuan Gong, do you think they will be so honest and obedient?"
