Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 306 Suzaku Island

At dusk, a soldier blew the horn on the bow of the ship, and Ming Ren and Ming Li reluctantly went ashore, boarding the ship with a heavy harvest.

The ship untied the cable, slowly left the temporary pier, and continued to sail north.

The main hall of the cabin was extremely lively, and everyone sat and had dinner together. This time, Fan Ning brought dozens of soldiers besides Akihito Mingli and Zhu Pei's master and servant on the northward trip.

People in the Song Dynasty could already sit at a big table to eat, but in essence, they still had a meal-sharing system. Each person took his own meal on a wooden plate, and all kinds of dishes were divided into small portions, served in small plates, and he took it himself if he liked it one serving.

The soldiers sat at several other large tables to eat and drink some light wine. Fan Ning, Zhu Pei, Jian Meizi, Aya, Ming Ren, and Ming Li sat at a large wooden table. As for Xu Qing, he and The soldiers sat together, he was a martial arts instructor whom the soldiers admired very much, and all the soldiers wanted to learn a trick or two from him.

Zhu Pei was sitting next to Fan Ning, of course, she always sat next to Fan Ning, but today was a bit special, she and Fan Ning sat very close to each other, they were almost shoulder to shoulder, pouring wine for Fan Ning naturally , Just like the posture of a little housewife.

Mingren and Mingli were still immersed in the joy of panning for gold. At this time, Mingren suddenly noticed something unusual. Zhu Pei and Fan Ning were sitting too close, their bodies were almost touching each other, his eyes suddenly widened, no!The two had an affair.

He lightly kicked Ming Li from below, and pouted at the other party quietly. Ming Li raised his head and looked at Fan Ning and Zhu Pei, just in time to see Fan Ning pouring wine for Zhu Pei affectionately, Zhu Pei Pei Yanran smiled, pinched the back of Fan Ning's hand, flirting openly.

Ming Li was stunned, what's going on?

Just as Ming Li was about to open his mouth to laugh at the two of them, a small bone went 'whoosh! '' shot hit him on the forehead, causing a burning pain in his forehead,
Only then did he realize that Jianmeizi was staring at him viciously, he felt guilty for a while, he quickly kicked Mingren lightly, and lowered his head to eat, Mingren also saw the murderous intent in Jianmeizi's eyes, and he also quickly lowered his head to drink the soup.

The two lowered their heads and winked, and exchanged their fingers while writing on the back of each other's hands. Others couldn't understand their ghostly symbols, but they knew it very well. This was a cheating stunt they practiced while studying.

"When did you get together?"

"I don't know! Could it be morning? They rode to the animal husbandry base together."

"It's possible that they were separated by a foot when they had dinner yesterday, but today they are only half an inch apart."

"Did Aning take Jupe down?"

"I feel like, go back to announce the good news to Da Niang and get a big red envelope."

"And Mr. Zhu, if you don't knock down a thousand coins, I'm sorry for the news!"

The more they wrote, the more complacent they were, and they began to describe the scene of drinking wedding wine.

"You two!"

At this time, Fan Ning noticed the strangeness of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Are you still excited about the Jinsha matter?"

"I heard from Xu Qing that you have scoured a lot of gold sand, why don't you show it to everyone?" Zhu Pei added with a smile.

Ming Ren chuckled, his wealth was not in vain, there were so many people eating in the lobby, how could he take out the gold.

"The gold sand is in the room! I have the biggest gold sand here, let me show you."

Akihito took out a golden sand the size of a broad bean from his bosom, and handed it to Zhu Pei.

Zhu Pei took the gold sand and looked at it, and couldn't help exclaiming: "A Ning, look at this gold sand, it's so big."

Fan Ning also took the gold sand and looked at it carefully. He smiled and said, "The purity is not bad, but this shouldn't be the biggest gold sand you've found, right?"

Ming Li said affirmatively: "We dare to swear to heaven, this is the biggest gold dust!"

Fan Ning threw the gold dust back to them, shook his head and said, "Based on what I know about you two, even if you are as rich as a country, you will always complain that you are too poor to eat."

He smiled at Zhu Pei: "Don't ask about the gold sand, but about the biggest gold nugget they found today, and see how they answer?"

Ming Ren and Ming Li blushed, Ming Li muttered softly: "You only ask Jin Sha, of course I will answer Jin Sha."

Zhu Pei glared at them angrily, "You two are actually playing such small thoughts on me, well, let's wait and see!"

Mingren and Mingli regretted it immediately, and offended Zhu Pei, and they will have a hard time in the future.

Mingren quickly explained: "Ape, it's not that we don't take it out, but because there are too many people behind, gold is easy to make people have evil thoughts, just in case..."

Fan Ning smoothed things over with a smile: "You give Zhu Pei the gold sand in your hands as an apology, and Zhu Pei won't be angry."

Mingli was reluctant, but Mingren kicked him, and Mingli had to put the gold dust back on the table.

Fan Ning smiled and handed the gold sand to Zhu Pei, "Don't be angry, if they are not careful, their lives would have been plotted by someone, I will ask them to show you the gold nuggets later."

After Fan Ning interceded, Zhu Pei snorted and threw the gold sand to them again, "I thought I really value your gold, I just want to see it, and I will return it to you!"

Mingli took Jinsha with a smile on his face, quietly took out a small box from his arms, and handed it to Zhu Pei, "This is it."

Zhu Pei opened the box, and inside was a gold nugget the size of a walnut, weighing two or two in weight, and polished smooth by years of stream water.

"This piece is not bad!"

Zhu Pei handed the box to Fan Ning, and asked with a smile, "Is it also from the river?"

"Finally found out!"

Akihito sighed sadly, if they still had time, they might have gained more.

However, Fan Ning was very interested in this piece of gold. There is such a large gold nugget, which shows that there must be a rich gold mine that is extremely easy to mine in the mountains on the upper reaches of the river.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
The ship arrived at the Kunzhou Outer Islands in two days. The Kunzhou Outer Islands are the South Qiandao Islands, which are later known as the Four Northern Islands. In fact, it is composed of dozens of large and small islands. The largest Chuze Island has more than 3000 islands. square kilometers, bigger than Danzhou.

Affected by the Kuroshio Current, there are many ice-free ports here, and there are many natural deep-water ports, which can directly dock Wanshi merchant ships. The strategic value is extremely high. Fan Ning named a series of islands in the north as the Kunbei Islands, and four of the large islands were named Xuanwu Island, Suanni Island, Suzaku Island and Xiongyu Island.

The land given to Zhu Yuanfeng by Emperor Zhao Zhen this time could be a piece of land in Kunzhou or an island. The consensus reached by Fan Ning and Zhu Lin last time was that it is best to take an island.

Of course, there is also a limit on the size of the rewarded land, and it cannot exceed a radius of [-] miles, or more than [-] square kilometers.

Fan Ning calculated that Suzaku Island was the most suitable place.

Suzaku Island was later Shikotan Island, covering an area of ​​about 250 square kilometers. There are two natural deep-water ports on the island, and they are ice-free ports.

Fan Ning's boat arrived at Suzaku Island. Everyone stood by the boat and looked towards the island. The island is surrounded by cliffs and there is no beach. bird.

Perhaps due to the impact of the volcano, there are many bays on the island, and ships can almost sail in and dock directly at the shore. However, in Fanning's memory, Suzaku Island only has two winter-free ports.

"A'Ning, you seem to be very interested in this island, why?" Zhu Pei asked puzzled.

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "From now on, this will be your third grandfather's island, and it can also be regarded as your Zhu family's island."

Jupe's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Fan Ning nodded, "Your third grandfather asked me to choose a suitable island for him. It seems that this is the best place."

"Can horses be raised on the island?" Jupe asked again.

"I remember there is a grass field ahead, let's go and have a look."

The boat sailed along the island to the northeast, and about seven or eight miles away, a wilderness suddenly appeared.

This is not a flat grassland, but a hilly field, with undulating terrain, sometimes high and sometimes low. The original jagged volcanic rocks have been weathered by tens of millions, and they have all become volcanic soil, covering the low and gentle hills thickly.

Since there is no forest growing, it becomes a hilly grassland about seven or eight miles wide and nearly [-] miles long. This kind of hilly grassland is exactly the same as the grassland in the north of Kunzhou, but compared with the hilly grassland hundreds of miles in the north of Kunzhou, here It can only be a mini grassland.

"I don't think it's a problem to raise tens of thousands of sheep and more than a thousand horses. There is also a small pasture in the north, which is half of it."

"What about winter?" Zhu Pei asked worriedly.

"There is a harbor in the north and south of the island that does not freeze in winter, and the shore does not snow, especially the small pasture in the north, which is close to the ice-free harbor, where livestock sheds can be built for the winter."

Even Ming Ren and Ming Li were deeply attracted, they pulled Fan Ning from left to right and said, "A Ning, can we buy the island?"

Fan Ning put his arms around their shoulders and said with a smile: "How can our Fan family not have our own overseas land? Don't worry, I have a long-term plan. One day, our descendants will also be able to establish their own overseas homes."
