Datang first village

Nanyang!Palembang!

The garrison army, the most pitiful group among the frontier troops of the Tang Dynasty, always guarded the border of the Tang Dynasty with a gang, a small team, or a brigade, or guarded many minority areas controlled by the Tang Dynasty. .

At least before Li Yuanxing, these people were the most bitter.

Now..., still very bitter.

In an open place, there is only a simple wall surrounded by tree branches.What is arranged here is a regular regiment, that is, two hundred soldiers and one hundred auxiliary soldiers.

The head of the regiment here is drawn from the right guard, there is no reason, because Datang needs it.

If you really need a reason, this Cong Qipin captain is that young cousin, and also the guarantor of that young man joining the army.So that young man was also sent here, with his wife who was 15 and a half years old, who hadn't yet celebrated her 16th birthday, and eight thousand bank notes.

What sent them over was an [-]-ton armed merchant ship, which was directly under the army and had nothing to do with merchants.

Only two months of supplies were given, as well as some adequate tools.

By the way, the merchant ship exchanged Chang'an's luncheon meat for a boat full of snow sugar in Palembang, turned around and went back.

"Not even a house?" one soldier complained.

"We are the soldiers of Datang." The head of the regiment said to the complaining soldier in a very firm tone.Then he turned to everyone: "Our battalion is built by ourselves. In the future, we will stay here for a year, or two years. Our mission is only one sentence, Palembang is the Palembang of Datang."

Such a simple command!

Up to now, the head of the regiment doesn't know how to execute this order.

A gorgeous one.The huge, [-]-ton armed yacht is parked off the coast of Palembang.There are six [-]-ton armed merchant ships escorting them.

Li Yuanxing did not choose to use pure warships as escorts, but when traveling around the world, he did some business by the way.

Three of the seven concubines followed, because they knew that Li Yuanxing would take them to see the fiefs this time, and also explain the characteristics of those fiefs to them.

Yaozhou is already on the right track, and it is still under the management of Prince Qin's Mansion.

The tokens of Wu Zhao and Li Yuanxing were handed over to Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty for safekeeping, and to whom should they be handed over.Li Er will not be relieved.

The child remains on board.Li Yuanxing, Li Lanshan, Wu Zhao.The three of them brought more than a dozen guards into Palembang, which represented the beginning of the colonial era of the Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity here is a bit like the scene of old Shanghai.

A fence blocked the area between the Tang area and the Nanyang native area.

The buildings in the Tang area are gorgeous.rich.elegant!Full of the taste of Chang'an.There are more grass houses outside the wall.Sheds and the like.There is also no serious drainage facility, dirty, messy and poor.There is a sharp contrast with the inside of the wall.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Security Department has a record. Nanyang people call the wall a place of bliss!"

It was Wu Yuanshuang who spoke, and he came out just to take a look at the fiefdom of the Wu family. Now that the Wu family has not lined up to buy a big ship after being confiscated.He still belongs to the Security Department of the Tang Empire. Taking him out to sea this time is also Li Yuanxing's expression to the Wu family. The Wu family is also very interested. Princess Mingyue is Princess Mingyue, and there will be no other identities!

Three days, just three days.

The garrison troops of the Tang Dynasty built their own barracks.According to the drawings, there is really nothing to build in this battalion.Here the four seasons are like spring, you will only feel hot, but there is no feeling of cold at all.

Just build the beams and columns with wood, and then tie them up with bamboo walls.

The beds are simpler, all bamboo-woven beds, and an extra quilt may be too hot to death.

But each bed has a tent made of hemp to prevent mosquitoes.There are medicines distributed by the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty inside and outside the house, or they are placed on the wall, or they are made into a medicine bag and placed on the body.

There is no military post in Palembang, only a civilian official.

The head of the school lieutenant is the largest military official here, but the civilian officials in charge of the port manage a lot, almost equivalent to the position of a governor, but the management area is smaller.From the fifth rank, the position of chief official at the state capital level was given, and those who can hold positions in Palembang can be said to be the elite among Datang officials.

"There must be rules in the military camp, and the Ministry of War has also sent a document, here to promote you as the sixth-rank captain, in charge of the security of Palembang. The number of sergeants staying overnight in the military camp must be reduced by [-]%. Prepared for you, the distribution of this house was originally an errand in the house, so I thought you would divide it yourself!"

An order from Chang'an was handed over to the head of the regiment.

The head of the group looked puzzled.

"If you need anything, please tell me. In Palembang, if there is anything you need, you are the general manager of the port, Lao Hu from the tax department of the household department, you from the military department, Xiaowei from Yushitai, and Lao Zhao from the engineering department. Just the five of us, we are said to be five-rank and six-rank officials, but when we go out, this place is tens of thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and we all have to take care of each other."

"What are my soldiers doing?"

This question was what puzzled the leader the most.

This question also caught the leader of Palembang, what are these soldiers doing?

"good question!"

"Then what do we do?"

"Ah!" The manager opened his mouth, really didn't know how to answer, he dragged the other party to the window, pointed to the distant port: "Look, this security problem is caused by the Japanese, and they have 5000 people , the leader of the army is also a Japanese military academy, and he will naturally come to you when he has something to do in the future. Then the Goguryeo people are in charge of tax-related matters. If there is a fight, their school captain will definitely report to you. Of course, if someone evades tax That's the business of Hube Hu!"

"The last general understands that the last general will definitely do his best, but he is just a soldier of the last general?"

"Let's put it this way..." The supervisor really had nothing to say, imagining to make up a reason, first to stabilize these soldiers and then say: "According to the order from above, this is the Palembang of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, there is no need for chores on the street." We will come forward ourselves, but at critical times, the most reliable ones are whether we are right or not."

"Yes!" The group leader replied very seriously.

"That's it, it's the critical time. Therefore, our Tang Dynasty's own soldiers are the most reliable at the critical time, so that's it. In five days, that is, on the morning of the fifth day, your family members will be sent. You First go to settle down the soldiers and subordinates, and then conduct daily training on what is necessary, by the way, after six days, it will be the day of the food distribution, your portion is already ready, this is the meaning of the above."

The head of the regiment went back, and he didn't figure out what they usually do when they got back to the barracks.

Okay, let's talk about the family members first.

The time of the army is extremely accurate. If it is said that the morning is five days later, it must be the morning five days later.

Tang people have the habit of buying slaves. As long as they are not poor, they will buy a maid or a slave.These soldiers have also saved some money in the past few years. Although it is not much, it is definitely enough to buy a maidservant.

The Nanyang dock workers, who were responsible for carrying the goods, watched the ship approaching from a distance, and came to the ship with a few heads to see what work there was.

After the boards were set up, this time it was not an ordinary veneer, but the iron frame with handrails. The dock workers immediately knew that this was a passenger ship, and many people couldn't help but leaned forward a few steps.

All those who got off the boat were noble ladies from the Tang Dynasty, no matter young or old, all wore silk long gowns and brought their maidservants with them.

In the eyes of Nanyang, this is a noble person.

"It's hard for these soldiers, because they are afraid of losing their family's face because they are outside the door, so they took out the good things at the bottom of the box." Sitting on the third floor of a restaurant, Li Lanshan said with emotion.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "They really want to make money. They can earn twenty guan in a month, and they are not in violation of military regulations. Otherwise, there may be a few rich men in the army."

When it comes to earning money, there is no need for Li Yuanxing to explain. Li Lanshan and Wu Zhao can use their later experience to use their brains to come up with dozens of ways, and they can even bypass military regulations.

Qiuxiang and the other maids didn't understand, but they didn't know how to ask.

The military area is completely different from the empty barracks. There are all red brick and concrete huts here.In order to save costs, the Ministry of Industry built all the two floors in a row. Each door is a family. There is a stable in front of each door, and then there are steps. Because Nanyang is relatively wet, the foundation is one foot higher.

The house is about [-] square meters in modern times, plus the second floor, but it is half of the house and half of the terrace.

The ground is made of pure wood, and the walls are whitewashed with lime. Unlike ordinary houses in Nanyang, these houses have glass windows.

As far as these glass windows are concerned, I don’t know how many Nanyang people have guessed that this is the house of those noble people.

One set for each household, pick whatever you want.

The group leader is bigger. He is in a separate small villa area. There are only [-] houses in the small villa area here. Those who can buy a house here are at least at the level of a big businessman. It's a row of two-story buildings.

"How much does this residential area earn?" Wu Zhao turned to Li Yuanxing and asked.

Li Yuanxing shook his head, he no longer paid attention to this little money.

Wu Zhao shifted her gaze to Qiuxiang again, and Qiuxiang replied only after obtaining Li Yuanxing's consent: "There is no money for this land, and about 30% is allocated to the Ministry of War and 80% to the Ministry of Officials. The rest of the income is not high. To [-] guan. Whether it is to be further developed, the opinion of the staff of the government is to slow down first, and then sell some to the wealthy people in Nanyang, and the profit will be at least [-] guan.”

Wu Zhao dryly laughed a few times.

Datang people have learned to play real estate, and this progress is terrible.

Besides, those sergeants seem to be completely different from defending the border here. It is not hard here, and their families are by their side.And the rule in the barracks is that as long as [-]% of the people stay in the barracks, then everyone can take turns to be on duty, and the rest of the time is still at home.

Seems like it's a reward, not hard work.

When the food was distributed on the sixth day, these soldiers were dumbfounded. Each person received one bolt of silk and five bolts of fine white linen.And a big basket of money. . )
