Chapter 319 Returning with a reward

"Xiao Shidun, you can go to the navy base below to inform me. I will stare here." Helan Mountain raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and could only vaguely see a little mast and sail, and could not identify his identity.

"You go and notify Lord Guan, and you will say that a fleet is coming." Helanshan ordered to another subordinate that the county magistrate Guan Qingquan was his immediate superior and he must not be left behind.

Helanshan secretly prayed in his heart that it must be the fleet of Master Song and his team, and there is not much food on the island now. As the fleet gets closer, Helanshan can identify it as a new three-spoke soft sail, and he becomes excited. This sail is the only one at present.

"Brother Wumian, why didn't we go to Penghu Island to replenish the supply?" Liang Yingzhu looked at the island behind the fleet. It was often docked by merchant ships in the past. There was fresh water on the island and some fishermen who could serve as a supply place.

"Yingzhu, you don't know yet. Our navy base is not far ahead, so naturally there is no need to supply it here." Song Wumian stood with his hands behind his back. In this triumphal, he was more confident. He had no achievements before, but fortunately got a high position.

"There is actually a base on this island? It's deserted here, how can you survive?" Liang Yingzhu was puzzled. How good is Quanzhou Port? How can you set up the base on this Daliuqiu Island?

"Now tens of thousands of residents on the island are reclaiming fertile land. Within three years, there will be thousands of hectares of fertile land and thousands of buildings on this island." Speaking of this, Song Wumian admires Sun Yu's courage and can put such great effort to develop this island.

When the ship approached the pier, the entire shore was boiling, and everyone was waiting here to hear the news.

Standing at the forefront was the county magistrate Guan Qingquan, who is now the highest-ranking official on the island.

"Brother Wumian, are you here often in the future?" Liang Yingzhu saw that there were large blue brick houses in the navy camp in front of her, which were much better than she had imagined.

"Well, it's almost the same. When you don't go out to sea, you'll be here a little more." Song Wumian nodded. This is the navy base. As a navy general, he has more time here.

"Then, after returning to Quanzhou, I want to come here to settle down." Liang Yingzhu had been thinking about this before, but after seeing the situation on the island, she made up her mind.

If her previous experience was in Quanzhou, she would inevitably be criticized by others. It would be better to find a house here, fiddling with flowers and plants every day, or reading and writing. If Song Wumian was there, she would cook some food and wait for him to come back to have a meal. This is the life she wanted.

"Yingzhu, no one dares to say anything." Song Wumian tightened her hand. His current status was extraordinary and could protect her small world.

"It has nothing to do with others, I want to live such a life myself." Before, she was used to living a quiet life on the island, and she didn't want to join the Song family. She just wanted to live her own life, and her status was not important.

"That's good!" Song Wumian nodded, but felt relieved. The wife at home has always been virtuous, but if Yingzhu is young, he would not be able to speak up.

With a light "bang~", the flagship where Song Wumian was located leaned on the dock, and soldiers immediately brought a ladder to put it on.

"Captain Song, this triumphant victory, Guan is here to congratulate you!" Guan Qingquan walked forward and looked at the stairs

Song Wumian bowed down. Although they were of similar ranks, the value of this navy captain was much better than that of his own county magistrate who had no shadow even in the county town.

"Thank you, Lord Guan, everything is fine now on the island?" Song Wumian felt that Guan Qingquan was a blessing in disguise and took the lead on the island. Here, as long as you develop with peace of mind, you will definitely rise step by step in the future. Although it is slow, it is stable.

"Everything is fine, but there is not much food. I am worried about this matter these days, and I never thought that Captain Song would come back. It would be really raining in time." Guan Qingquan was quite embarrassed, but in order to govern the people, he had to do this.

"This trip made a lot of food, but this matter probably needs to be approved by the Marquis." Song Wumian felt that this food was the harvest of the fleet, and the dominance was in the hands of the Marquis, so he couldn't make decisions without authorization.

"Secretary Song, developing islands is the Marquis' plan. This is something that must not be delayed, right? I think you should remove part of the grain and put it in the warehouse at the Navy Base. If the Marquis says it doesn't work, then you can take it away." Guan Qingquan made up his mind and left some of the grain no matter what. He had the grain in his hand, so he was not panicked. If he continued to wait for the distribution in Quanzhou, if something was delayed, he might have a big mess.

Besides, the food remains, there is no possibility of being pulled away, and it can save the power of the ship running back and forth.

"That's right, let's leave 50,000 stones first?" Finally, in Luzon, the harvest was quite good. The fleet now loaded almost 250,000 stones of grain, so it would be okay to leave a batch.

"How can that be enough? This is not enough for the beginning of next spring." It's not that Guan Qingquan has a big appetite. The island has tens of thousands of people, and it takes 50,000 stones of grain to use in a month. This is because some auxiliary grains such as beans are planted on the island. Now the island's grain storage is not enough for a month, and adding 50,000 stones is far from enough.

"Then how much do you want?" Song Wumian held his forehead with his hands. These things are really not what he is good at.

"One hundred thousand stones, one hundred thousand stones can last until the beginning of next spring. Even if there is no food in the future, people will not starve to death." When spring comes, even if there is no food, even if there is no food, the roots can be boiled until the harvest is collected.

"Then leave behind 100,000 stones." Song Wumian thought, the luck was already troublesome, so he just put more of them here.

Guan Qingquan felt very calm. With this 100,000 stone of grain, even if the initial investment in Daliuqiu Island was almost done, as long as there was no natural disaster in the future, he would always be able to be self-sufficient.

What surprised him even more was that Song Wumian brought tens of thousands of prisoners, half of whom were from the Wu Dynasty navy and half on Luzon Island. They were all good laborers, and Guan Qingquan planned to arrange them all to the mine, especially the workshops for making cement, which were short of manpower.

The entire naval camp was filled with smoke. The naval soldiers and caravan sailors who had been wandering on the sea for several months, except for a few who were left behind, all went ashore to repair for a night.

Guan Qingquan brought a jar of Feitian wine that he had finally gotten over and accompanied Song Wumian and Chen He to have a few drinks.

"Sir Guan, the Marquis is fine during the days when I left?" Chen He tore off a chicken leg, it smells so good! He has long been tired of eating fish every day.

"Fortunately, the war is tense, and I am not sure about the specific matters." Guan Qingquan picked up the fattest one.

The huge chicken butt was swallowed in one bite, leaving fragrance on his lips and teeth. Don’t look at his name as a county magistrate, and if he doesn’t have any money, it would be useless if he had no place to buy it.

Today, the island is still in a planned economy, and all supplies are distributed by households and collected by the villages. Even if he is a county magistrate, he still has a little food supply every day. The only privilege is that there is a separate house where the family lives. Although it is crowded, it is much better than others.

"War?" Song Wumian put down his wine glass. When they left, it was still calm.

Guan Qingquan told the things he knew one by one, which made the two of them stunned. He originally thought that they had gained a lot of money when they went out to sea this time, which was an extraordinary achievement. Unexpectedly, the Marquis actually took down Fuzhou City.

If the land of a state is still a state like Fuzhou, if it really completely wins the battle, the strength of the Loyal and Brave Army will be added to 30%.

"The Marquis is still guarding Fuzhou now?" Chen He sighed in his heart. This uncle was really fierce. He actually went to fight against the South Vietnam again and again, and finally got angry. He didn't know what the ending was.

"The last time I came here, it was more than ten days ago, and I don't know what happened now. In my opinion, it was okay. It's time for Hangzhou to snow now. If the logistics are not maintained, the troops will inevitably be withdrawn." Guan Qingquan felt that Sun Yu was so capable and took Fuzhou, he would never be easily attacked by the opponent. As long as he could hold a stalemate for a while, Nanyue would inevitably withdraw his troops.

"If this is the case, it is indeed great news." Song Wumian was very happy. Sun Yu was able to make great progress in his strength, and their status also rose.

"We will set out tomorrow and go back to Quanzhou early." Chen He felt that he had just experienced the war and was short of money and food. When they returned, they could just help the Marquis, so that this value could be maximized.

"What Deputy Wei Wei Chen said is right. Leave a few grain transport ships. Lord Guan arranged for the manpower to carry and store them. I will go north tomorrow morning." Song Wumian thought of another one. If this battle is a great victory, it is the time for rewards. They can move upwards when they go back.

At this time, Sun Yu was checking the information sent by the scouts in front of him one by one.

The army led by Luo Jixing left 10,000 to guard Luoyuan County. He personally led the army to retreat to Ningde to relieve the logistical pressure.

Luo Jixing made such arrangements, he could attack and defend when he advanced. In contrast, Lianjiang County now relies on a little grain squeezed out from Fuzhou every day, and serves porridge twice a day, barely allowing the city people to survive.

Many people who escaped from the city came back one after another, and everything else was easy to say, but the food was gone and no one could change it.

"Food is the most important thing for the people, and the ancients did not deceive me." Sun Yu put down his intelligence. Without food, it was difficult to move forward.

"Marty, why don't we go back to Fuzhou? This is obviously the other party's intentional way to leave a mess and let us get in a dilemma." Luo Jixing was cruel enough. The way from Fuzhou City to Lianjiang County was basically plundered. Without their supply, I don't know how many people would starve to death this winter.
