My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 211

No matter what, let’s give it a try first!
What's more, she also has Lingquan, a super thick golden finger. Lingquan should be helpful when planting kelp!
Jiang Tangtang calmed down and looked at the kelp collected by the fishermen from the sea.

The roots of the kelp are well preserved and the whole kelp is soaked in the sea, so the quality is very good.Jiang Tangtang asked someone to bring over the hemp rope that he had prepared earlier, clamp the roots on the rope, and let the kelp leaves float in the sea.

"Is that all right?" The fishermen couldn't help but ask as they watched Jiang Tangtang's actions.

"Let's try it first!" Jiang Tangtang looked at the surrounding environment again.

There are many kelp reefs where kelp is hung, and if kelp seedlings are propagated, they will also have roots.She didn't need to do anything else.

It's just that she originally wanted to use the golden finger of Lingquan, but such a vast sea area seemed not suitable for using Lingquan.

She thought for a while, took some kelp, put it in a wooden barrel, and ordered it to be delivered to her residence.

After returning home, Jiang Tangtang locked himself in the space and started working.

She found an open space, dug a pond, put rocks and other things into it, then poured half of the seawater and half of the spiritual spring into it, and then put the kelp into the water.

As a result, a rough kelp breeding ground was built.

After it was done, Jiang Tangtang didn't bother to take care of it and turned around to do other things.The island is like a newly established small country with too many things to be busy with.

The matter of strengthening the military fortress here has not yet been decided, and new things have come up.

Jiang Tangtang was really busy and had no time to spare.

However, such busyness makes Jiang Tangtang very fulfilled, especially when she sees Baodao changing day by day according to her plan, she feels particularly fulfilled.

In the end, Jiang Tangtang did not use the prisoners who were good at construction, but returned to Yazhou to find people who were good at construction.

One of them was originally employed in the Ministry of Industry. Later, because he did not know how to adapt and was unwilling to join in with his colleagues, he was framed by his colleagues and was exiled to Lingnan.

After Jiang Tangtang saw the drawings he drew and the suggestions on strengthening the fortress he annotated, he felt that this man was a great talent and could be reused.

Therefore, the task of strengthening the fortress was handed over to him, and he was fully responsible for it.

Fu Jingchu has a somewhat dull personality, but he loves construction from the bottom of his heart.Seeing that Jiang Tangtang trusted him so much and gave him full responsibility for the reinforcement of the fortress, he felt that he had been taken seriously and was extremely grateful.

He was not good at words and couldn't say anything nice. He just knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Jiang Tangtang a few times, and then went out with the drawings to arrange the reinforcement of the fortress.

At this point, Jiang Tangtang can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

And this year is coming to an end.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching in just a few days, Su could not help but look into the distance.Jiang Tangtang knew that she was waiting for her two sons to come back for the New Year.

But this year, I'm afraid it won't be easy for the family to reunite.

A few days ago, Wei Haohan used tricks to ruin the reputation of the Lu family. After being caught by Lu Shiyan, Wei Haohan's reputation among the people dropped drastically.

Later, although he followed the advice of his staff and found a way to remedy the situation.But a bad reputation is bad, and it cannot be repaired by one or two things.

Wei Haohan was extremely angry.

The failure of this incident made several of his subsequent strategies useless.

Because if anything bad happens to Lu Shiyan, the people will be the first to wonder if someone has used a cunning trick to deliberately harm God Lu like last time.

Seeing that Lu Shiyan's reputation among the people was getting higher and higher, Yazhou's power was also brought into his hands, and there was a trend of further expansion.

He was very anxious.

At this time, even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the expeditionary troops he sent out were probably gone.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be any news from him for so long.

After Wei Haohan thought deeply, he simply contacted people from the Xiao family and other families who had military power, and decided to confront Lu Shiyan head-on while his military strength was still inferior to theirs.

Regarding the secret contact between Wei Haohan and other families, a spy had already reported the news to Lu Shiyan.

Knowing that the other party would take action soon, Lu Shiyan also strengthened his deployment.

The situation in Lingnan was tense, and a war was about to break out. The situation was not much better elsewhere in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The people of Xirong have always been eyeing the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the past, the Lu family was stationed at the border and they could suppress it.The Lu family was exiled and a new general came to power, and the Xirong people's ambitions could no longer be suppressed.

As a nomadic people, the Xirong people were short of food and drink in winter, and faced with the extremely cold weather this year, the Xirong people couldn't bear it. In addition, they had already prepared to attack the Zhou Dynasty, so in a breathless That night, a surprise attack was carried out on the perimeter defense.

The newly appointed general was the brother of the imperial concubine. He had no idea that the Xirong people, who had been honest for many years, would launch an attack on Dazhou on such a cold night. They scrambled to deal with it and lost the city in the first battle.

In addition to Xirong, there are many small countries on the border who are also envious of the vast land of the Great Zhou.However, the military strength of these small countries was not as good as that of Xirong, so they all hid behind and watched.

After seeing Xirong's victory, he felt that he had an opportunity, so he also sent troops, hoping to drink some broth behind him.

For a time, Dazhou's border defense simply turned into a big sieve, leaking air everywhere.

This winter has been extremely cold, and there are still wars everywhere. In the end, it is the people at the bottom who suffer.

The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty had always cared not about the life and death of the people, and did not provide any relief to these people who were affected by the war.

The people were really desperate, and then they somehow heard rumors about the Lu family's kindness and helping refugees, and finally they came to Lingnan.

Lu Shiyan was busy mobilizing troops to deal with the Wei family's attack, but he suddenly heard reports from his subordinates that a large number of refugees had come to seek asylum.

"Sir, I'm afraid the origin of these refugees is not simple." Zhou Lei said: "If you didn't come earlier, you won't come later, why did you come at this time? I think someone deliberately attracted them."

It’s self-evident who this person is.

Who else but Wei Haohan, who has been making small moves recently and wants to deal with them.

Deliberately attracting refugees is nothing more than causing them to get into trouble.

If he doesn't accept so many refugees, his newly established good reputation will be ruined immediately.

If they are accepted, a large amount of manpower and troops will inevitably be spent to settle these refugees.

This naturally consumed Lu Shiyan's financial resources and energy.

Lu Shiyan didn't need to tell his subordinates to figure out the plot.But instead of worrying, he actually smiled.

Zhou Lei didn't understand, "Sir, is this a good thing?" How could he still laugh at this time?

"It depends on what you think." Lu Shiyan stopped laughing and said, "Let all the people in and let them set up a porridge shed to serve porridge. In addition, set up a separate recruitment shed next to it, and put the recruitment requirements and The military pay after selection and the pension after sacrifice are all clearly explained one by one. The recruited soldiers are handed over to the new barracks for training. "

Lu Shiyan was very generous to his soldiers.

The monthly monthly salary for the upper-class soldiers is [-] cash, the middle-class soldier's monthly salary is [-] cash, and the monthly salary for the lower-class soldier is [-] cash.

In addition to receiving monthly military pay, the soldiers' food and clothing are fully covered by the military camp.

Moreover, when they first join the army, extra money will be given to the soldiers' families, which is regarded as a subsidy for the soldiers' enlistment.

Soldiers will also be rewarded after winning a battle. If they are unlucky and die during the battle, they will also receive a large amount of pension money.

And unlike other military camps, they never owe soldiers their military pay here.

This is one of the reasons why he was able to quickly conquer the remaining soldiers after General Song died.

Wei Haohan only saw the troubles the refugees brought him, but did not see the opportunities.

Of course, he dared to do this, and it was Jiang Tangtang who gave him the confidence.

If Jiang Tangtang hadn't obtained so much food, gold and silver, how would he have dared to give the soldiers such a generous monthly salary, let alone guarantee that they would never default on their military pay.

We don't dare to admit so many refugees.

After all, in addition to some strong men who can be selected as soldiers to serve him, there are also many old, weak, women and children.

These people's food and drink are not a small sum.

The more Lu Shiyan thought about it, the more guilty he became, feeling like the shameless bastard in the play.

Zhou Lei didn't know what he was really thinking at this moment, but he just felt very impressed. What kind of magical thinking was this!

It was obviously a big trouble, but after passing him, it immediately turned into an opportunity to expand our troops.
