"However..." Zheng Baiqing scratched his head. He was caught off guard. The main reason was that he was always on guard against the Yizhou navy chasing after him along the way. He was also afraid of being intercepted by the Zhou navy, and he was also worried about encountering the fleets of the southern Xinjiang countries. He had to be on guard.
Pirates, so he and Cheng Pingyuan were always on edge, waiting for danger, and did not bother to chat with Ling'er in detail.
"However, the name Baiyin Island is too tacky and not worthy of my little aunt Ling'er. I think we should just change the name to Ling'er Island." Ren Pijiang said with a smile.
"Huh? My nephew's suggestion is really good. What do you all think?" Ling'er accepted it happily.
She thinks it's good, what else can you say?
But Ling'er felt a little embarrassed to call it Ling'er Island, as if he was so arrogant. Otherwise, he could just take a word from my name and call it Lingzhou. From now on, we will be Yanyun's tenth state, and our unit number will be
It is called Yanyun Lingzhou Guard, and it is regarded as the fifteenth guard of Yanyun.
Why is it the fifteenth? Don’t forget that the Northern Guards are actually from the Yanyun sequence, plus the previous Yanyun Thirteenth Guards, there are fifteen.
Since it is Lingzhou Island, Zheng Baiqing does not dare to be the owner of the island no matter what, so let him be the Lingzhou Guard General and concurrently the Lingzhou Magistrate, in charge of all Lingzhou affairs. Cheng Ping is far from understanding government affairs, so he will be a deputy general in charge of military affairs.
As for the appointment power of other officials, Ling'er left it to Zheng Baiqing. She had been with Xiao Chen for a long time and knew how to be the boss. She also learned the essence of it, which is to use people without suspicion and hire without suspicion.
Ling'er acted on her own initiative, and she didn't get the consent of the old man and Xiao Chen at all, but she still dared to do it. This is called making a decisive decision, killing first and telling the story later.
What should I do if Chen Jisheng and Xiao Chen don't agree? It's impossible to disagree. The title of the little boss of Ling'er Yanyun County is not an unearned reputation, right?
I made her so anxious that she actually came to Lingzhou Island to be the owner of the island. I don’t believe they would let me go!
"I have another question." Zheng Baiqing actually had many questions to ask. The first question was, "Do we belong to Yanyun County or Dazhou?"
This is a very critical question.
"Yanyun County, do you still need to ask?" Ling'er answered neatly.
"Uh... little princess, you probably don't understand what I mean. Does your subordinate mean that we should obey Xiao Chen or Li Wanjiang?" Zheng Baiqing could only ask more straightforwardly.
"Of course it's my brother. Do you still need to ask?" Ling'er said.
Then we have to ask another question, so who is Xiao Chen? What does he want to do in Yanyun County? Is he going to establish himself as a king, rebel, or drive out the Zhou Li thieves and restore the great orthodoxy?
"I can't tell you this right now, and I can't explain it clearly. Let's do this. When things settle down here, you go to Yanyun County and meet your brother. He will tell you." Ling'er asked this question.
It’s not easy to answer either.
"Yes!" Zheng Baiqing still had questions, "Then if the chief helmsman is really defeated here..."
"This is Lingzhou Island in Yanyun County. I am the owner of the island and you are the general of the Lingzhou Guard. Even if the chief helmsman comes in person, we are also the hosts and he is also the guest!" Ling'er answered clearly, "But I
It is expected that the chief helmsman will never come."
With Xiao Xinghan's arrogance, even if he was defeated and fled, he would never come to Lingzhou Island and succumb to others, let alone Ling'er Zheng Baiqing.
He even refused to succumb to Xiao Chen.
Ling'er was here with Ren Bijiang, Zheng Baiqing, and a few locals... In fact, they were not locals, but people from Nanchen Zhongtian. These people stayed behind voluntarily because they had nowhere to go...
Accompanied by his wife, he visited with great interest as the owner of the island... and inspected the entire island.
As expected, there are not many cultivated fields on the island, because there are too few flat lands on the island, which are all mountains and forests. This is a tropical rainforest climate.
Although there are not many fields, there are also a lot of fruits. Except for some artificially cultivated fruit trees, there are all kinds of naturally growing fruit trees all over the mountains and plains. A large number of fruits are ignored from ripe to rotten.
We don’t even use them as fertilizer, because there is so much fertilizer that we can’t use it up just from seabird droppings...
"Wow, there's a lot of sugar cane here!" Ling'er was quite happy looking at the large sugar cane forest.
It would be great if all the sugar cane could be transported to Yanyun County. How much sugar could be refined and how much money would be earned? Ling'er was quite familiar with the huge profits from sugar.
But it's impossible to transport it there. It's too far away from Yanyun County, and the sugar cane will rot halfway. Isn't this a pity?
"What is that?" Ling'er asked curiously when he saw a large area of non-fruit trees.
"Those are tea trees." A Japanese named Bei Dao Changchuan quickly replied, "Pick them and fry them to make tea."
"Oh?" Ling'er was overjoyed, "Then have you picked and roasted it? Is the annual output large?"
Kitajima Nagagawa shook his head repeatedly, saying that apart from picking and drinking, we didn’t produce a lot at all. People like us are too busy just to cultivate fields and fish, so how can we have free time to do this?
Besides, can we drink it after frying it?
And it can’t be sold, because in nearby island countries, tea is abundant!
"Yeah, very good, very good." Ling'er nodded and said yes, but everyone didn't understand what he meant. What's so good about this?
After the inspection, Linger began to deliver an important speech and gave important instructions.
Instruction 1: Collect a sample of all the fruit trees on the island, no matter what kind of fruit they are, including the names of the fruits, leaves, branches, shapes, seeds, growth stages, etc. The more detailed the better, I want to take them back to study.
son.
Instruction 2: Build some factories immediately. I plan to open a sugar processing factory here. The equipment and personnel will arrive soon. It is best to build the factory near the dock, so that it will be easier to ship and transport in the future. In addition, we need
Select some people with smarter minds and more agile hands and feet to join the factory as workers in the future.
Instruction 3: Re-erect a fort at an important location in the harbor. I will get you dozens of cannons later. These cannons have a large caliber and a long range, so the requirements for the fort are also higher. They must be strong.
Some, all the scraps of copper and iron left behind by Nanchen Zhongtian were returned to me!
Instruction 4: We should reclaim as much wasteland as possible and strive to be self-sufficient within a few years. When I go back, I will get a batch of farm tools and mules, horses and oxen, which will make farming much easier.
I see you don’t even have cattle for farming now…
Instruction 5: Immediately organize people to pick tea leaves and fry them in large quantities. The more, the better. No amount is too much. Do you know how much tea is needed in Northern Xinjiang?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have technology or tools, Pijiang will help, right nephew?
Instruction six... Later, Ling'er started talking about whatever he thought of, and forgot how many instructions he gave out in total. Anyway, there were quite a lot.
Moreover, there were so many strange words and weird words that Zheng Baiqing, a smart person like him, had to ask someone to find paper and pen to record them carefully.
