Remember [] in one second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-ups!
All the ships in Quanzhou Port were swept away by the Song Army. The people in and outside the city also took their families and took the Song Boat. The Han people were unwilling to leave their homes as a last resort. They were really worried that the Yuan army would return to slaughter the city. Quanzhou is a huge city now. An empty city.
There were also people who insisted on staying and continuing to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. That was Chen Diaoyan, who grew up in his native town. Liu Yanzhi appointed him as the training envoy of the Quanzhou regiment on behalf of the imperial court. The Yuan Army has a great role in collecting intelligence.
Song Junshui quickly expanded from 1,000 ships with 200,000 ships to 1,500 ships, 300,000 soldiers and civilians, and hundreds of horses. The living space on the ships became very narrow, and Shanghai was added. With high winds and high waves, a large number of people were seasick, and people were miserable. Fortunately, the journey was not a long one. Two days later, the fleet arrived in the Penghu Islands for a rest.
The Penghu Islands are a series of small islands between the mainland and Taiwan. They can replenish fresh water and avoid typhoons. The final destination is Taiwan, a treasure island across the sea. But at this time, there is no such name as Taiwan. The island is called Liuqiu.
After another two days, the fleet finally landed in Kaohsiung, southwest of Liuqiu Island.
The name Kaohsiung did not appear until 1920. For the convenience of the name, Taishi Liu named this place Kaohsiung across the ages. Kaohsiung is the largest deep-water port on the island of Liuqiu, suitable for berthing ocean-going ships, and will be the most important trading port in the Song Dynasty. And the navy base.
Three hundred thousand soldiers and civilians landed on the land, set up tents without houses, reclaimed wasteland without fields, built kilns without bricks and tiles, and mined and smelted without ironware. Anyway, hundreds of craftsmen and craftsmen are abundant, with tools, drawings, and raw materials. Enough.
Liuqiu at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty was not fully developed. It is still an island in a pristine state. It is said that in the northern part of the island, there are Han people and acquaintances living together, and there are also fortresses built by sea hawks to escape wind and waves and supplement supplies, but these people are all Don't dare to go deep into the jungle, the deep mountains and old forests are the land of the Shengfans, rushing into it is extremely risky, and it is very likely that the Shengfan will be cut off.
In just a few days, Kaohsiung has become a huge village, full of tents and cooking smoke. It is spring, and the climate is warm and cold, and the immigrants are also people from Fujian and Guangdong. They have lived in the subtropics for many years. There is not much discomfort. If you change to the Mongolian on the desert grassland, you will definitely not be able to lose weight in this hot and humid weather.
It takes several months to build a kiln and burn bricks. During this period, ordinary people can only live in tents and random huts. At first, officials and royal families still lived on ships, but it was inconvenient to travel to and from the land. There are a lot of resources, there is no lack of towering giant trees, which are suitable for building palaces. The imperial court sent soldiers to cut down trees. Carpenters rushed to work day and night to build the emperor’s palace first. The ministers of civil and military affairs also had a place to discuss state affairs.
It coincided with a sudden change in the climate and heavy rains for several days. The people living in tents and huts were struggling to support them. Many people were still frozen to death in this warm and cold weather. Even the high-ranking officials had a hard time. Bumps and vomits in the cabin, or shivering on the land, the number of soldiers and craftsmen is limited, even if they work overtime, it is impossible to build thousands of houses overnight, and these big people are the golden branches and leaves that cannot be picked up by shoulders. It is harder for them to get enough food and clothing than to kill them.
But there are exceptions. As soon as the sky cleared, Master Taishi took an axe and took a group of men into the mountain to chop down trees. After cutting down dozens of big trees and dragging them back, he used an axe to build a tall building. When the big wooden house comes, there is no need for a nail, all of it is a mortise and tenon structure. Even the old carpenter was amazed when he saw it, saying that Master Taishi is the reincarnation of Luban!
Of course, Liu Yanzhi is not the reincarnation of Luban. His carpentry work was still studied in Honolulu, and later he performed it in the Jurassic and Neolithic Ages. What he is best at is building a house with wood. This pure wooden house is A replica of the wooden palace where he lives with Zhen Yue in Yanbu.
Looking at this palace, the little things of the past came to mind, Liu Yanzhi couldn't help feeling a little in a trance, as if he had returned to the prehistoric era, the two stayed and flew alone, living alone on the earth with only dinosaurs and nautilus.
"Master, drink water." A crisp voice came from behind, the maid Luzhu was talking.
Lu Zhu is the Queen Mother Yang’s cronies. Of course, he has to use his own person to win over ministers. In the end, Lu Zhu became Liu Yanzhi’s maid, responsible for his daily life. In fact, there are maids who serve tea and pour water to make a bed. To do, Luzhu's biggest responsibility is to wait for the bed, but so far Liu Yan hasn't touched her a finger.
Boiled water is the most popular beverage in the palace. The herbs such as perilla, white cardamom, and licorice are brewed with boiling water. After a few days of confinement, they become boiled water. Hold in a silver pot and drink a cup when you are thirsty, just like the beverage of later generations.
Green Bamboo held a cup of perilla water and handed it over. Liu Yan drank it directly. His face was sweating profusely. Green Bamboo took out a silk paw and stretched out slender fingers like spring onions to help Taishi The adult was wiping his sweat, but Zhen Yue, who had just entered the yard, was watching.
Zhen Yue turned her head and left, Guan Lu who was following took a glance, he laughed, and chased Zhen Yue out, "Why, jealous?"
"Whoever eats his jealousy, I can't see the green tea making a fuss." Zhen Yue snorted.
"It seems that the maid is not called green tea, but green bamboo." Guan Lu smiled, "I also said that she is not jealous. The maid is just a concubine, at best, she can't threaten your status."
"I don't care whether she is called green bamboo or green tea. Anyway, it's an ancient version of green tea bitch. Also, Liu Yanzhi and I have nothing to do with each time and space plane!" Zhen Yue vowed.
"Don't make your mouth hard." Guan Lu curled her lips and didn't believe Zhen Yue's words.
"These men are all the same, thinking about three wives and four concubines after crossing, hugs left and right, without exception." Zhen Yue's mouth was cruel, but she was wondering what happened to her, not that she didn't feel the slightest feeling about Liu Yanzhi. Well, why did he suddenly lose his temper when he saw the maid wipe his sweat? Yes, it must be because he couldn't understand the style of men like them.
There is also a wooden fence around the newly built big house. At this moment, Liu Yan is standing at the gate and looking at Zhen Yue's back.
Lu Zhu followed, took a sour glance at Zhen Yue who was going away, and sighed: "It's the slave's fault, which makes the lady angry."
Liu Yan said straightforwardly: "She is not a wife, at least she is not."
Lu Zhu couldn't understand, looking at the Master Taishi who looked like a in his mind ignorantly, his big eyes blinked and blinked as if he could speak.
"Madam is no longer there, she died in the Qin Dynasty." Liu Yan said straight, there seemed to be something shining in his deep eyes.
Lu Zhu was even more convinced that Master Taishi was a descending to the earth, and his wife died in the Qin Dynasty, so he would not live for more than a thousand years. Being able to serve as a concubine to a was also a blessing from his previous life cultivation.
In fact, not only is Green Bamboo a fan of Taishi Liu, but the people also deeply admire and worship Liu Yanzhi, not because he defeated Zhang Hongfan and saved the Song Dynasty, but because the first-ranking member of the imperial court has no pretensions and always mingle with the masses. Carrying a bow and arrow into the mountains to hunt, carrying an axe to cut down trees, barefoot to open up wasteland and sowing, and even digging and burning pottery, these jobs should be done by hunters, craftsmen and farmers, he is good at it.
It’s not that Liu Yanzhi likes to work, but that he must play a role as a model leader. 300,000 Song people emigrate, but not every household brings altars, pots, tables, chairs and benches. Most people only bring very little luggage. And rations, so many people’s food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, Lhasa, it would be impossible without an efficient government, and the two prime ministers of the court, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu, were both literati and were not good at this, so the "eight immortals" had to carry this. responsibility.
Under the recommendation of Liu Yanzhi, Dang Aiguo served as the official book and Liuqiu road transshipment envoy of the Ministry of Industry of the Song Dynasty, and personally planned and directed the construction of Kaohsiung Mansion. His skills finally came in handy. He was busy every day and brought a group of officials. He has inspected and guided everywhere. Under his control, Kaohsiung’s urban planning is well-defined, with clear divisions of residential, administrative, commercial, and military areas. The main road is wide, with drainage ditches on both sides, and the sewer system in residential areas is also very developed. Taiwan is rainy. If the drainage system is not well done, it will be waterlogged. For the sake of a century plan, the invisible parts must be done first.
The biggest contribution of the party’s patriotism is to "invent" the wheel kiln to produce red bricks~EbookFREE.me~ The building materials used in China since ancient times are blue bricks and blue tiles, while red bricks are traditional building materials of Europeans. Both bricks have their own advantages. , But bricks and tiles are urgently needed at the moment, so red bricks with high production efficiency are a better choice.
The wheel kiln is different from the brick kiln for firing blue bricks. It operates continuously and has a huge production capacity. With an animal-powered brick extruder, one kiln can produce 100,000 red bricks, which is enough to supply palaces, residential buildings, military camps, and city walls. , One after another red brick buildings rose from the ground, the Song Palace is also a Chinese palace built entirely with red bricks and red tiles.
Kaohsiung Prefecture is flourishing. The masts of the ships in the harbor are like forests. Every day ships come from Guangzhou and Zhangzhou, bringing in a large number of new immigrants and supplies. The city’s market is also established, and the people exchange goods and look for work. , Very lively.
The Song Dynasty took root in Liuqiu. The former prime minister Chen Yizhong, who had fled to Champa, heard the news and voted. The former commander and envoy Jiang Zheng, who was pushed out by Zhang Shijie, also drove Jiang Zheng from Fujian. , Accept everything as the bill, entrust the important task.
When there were more people, things came. Chen Yizhong, who was unwilling to be lonely, gathered a group of old men and began to fight for power. He first aimed at Liu Yanzhi and instigated Yu Shi to impeach him, saying that his behavior was inconsistent, and that he was inconsistent and filthy. Chaos in the palace, corruption and bribery, inviting people to buy people’s hearts, intent on rebellion.
