Although the hundreds of workers are still ineffective in recuperating, the 350 soldiers and servants who landed the island in advance yesterday, and the more than 100 officers who worked all night, dug a thousand pits outside the city after Yaoliang.

It is very simple to set up a ground nest. First dig a square of more than one or three feet deep and four feet wide on the ground. Then use the digging soil to build a small earth wall about two feet high around the top of the pit, then use the purchased tent to build a few wooden piles to tie it tightly, and immediately a standard ground nest is built. Although there are islands on the three sides of the Shamen Island, the wind is still very strong, and it is difficult to resist it by just living in tents, but it is excellent for the ground nest. The only disadvantage is that it is not very breathable. And it can only be temporarily occupied in autumn and winter. When it comes to the rainy season in chun summer, it is not suitable.

On the outside of the hut area, Li Jing also set up a circle of wooden stakes and built a simple wooden stake in the middle of the hut camp, dividing the hut camp into two. On the left are the garrison soldiers who were employed as laborers and the escorts of the merchant regiments, and on the right are the families of the original garrison soldiers. Since the hundreds of garrisons are either broken hands and feet or their butts are blooming, Li Jing sent a team of soldiers to take care of the outside of the hut camp.

After Yaoliang, Li Jing personally led two teams of servants to the foot of Fenghuang Mountain to welcome Li's mother and other families. When the families got off the boat and passed by Yao Street, they were all amazed. Li Huier and others even shouted that they would open a bedding workshop on this street.

"Wait a moment, and then you can open a few companies if you want to." Li Jing turned his head and looked at the prosperous Yaojie, and a sense of ambition surged in his heart. He is not able to attack Yaojie for the time being, but he will never allow the situation of "concession" in his territory. Be patient first, and wait until the foundation is stabilized on Shaman Island, and then the first thing he will do is to find a way to take back control of Yaojie.

The two teams of servants were escorting the way, and the families of the officers were all very novel. The prosperous streets I saw before had already surprised the crowd. I thought that Shamenshu was a place that was so bitter and cold, but now all the way, there were huge sea boats everywhere in Natang Bay, and there were such a prosperous streets when I got on the island. It seemed that it was far from what they thought.

However, some people are more concerned about the land on the island. Before coming, Li Jing had promised everyone that he would distribute land to the families. Wang Blacksmith's son Xiao Shitou has now become Li Jing's deputy team leader, and he has also become the father of the official. He used to be a blacksmith for generations, but now he has become an official family member at once. Not to mention this pride. Although there are fifty acres of land returned and given by Li Jing at home, the old blacksmith still took the initiative to sign up into the craftsman camp and brought the old woman to Shamen Island with all her belongings.

After passing the foot of Phoenix Mountain, there were all the reclaimed fields of Shamen Shutun. The old blacksmith watched carefully for a long time and came back to Li Jing and said, "These lands are pretty good, not considered fertile land, but they can also be considered good fields. It's just a pity that it has been abandoned for a long time. If you want to plough the land, you have to raise it for a year or two. Not only this year, but next year, I'm afraid I won't be able to get much food."

Li Jing nodded. Last night, Zhang Hong had reported to him that the total arable land on Shamen Island was about 1,500 acres, all of which belonged to Shamen Shu's land. Last year, the island was short of water and wells, and the garrison soldiers such as Feng Ming did not sue for farming, so they were abandoned.

With the golden island like Shaman Island, Li Jing has long since lost the plan to farm and hoard grain that he had originally thought. The whole planting of Shaman Island is only 1,500 acres of land. One acre of land is calculated based on an average annual output of eight dou. Even if the tax is not paid, it is only 1,200 stones of grain. If the shelling is removed, 30% will be removed, and in the end, only 900 stones of grain will be obtained. If the cost of seeds, farming tools, oxen, etc. is deducted, about 20% will be reduced. In the end, 700 stones of grain will be obtained, and it will be a good year without drought and flood. Li Jing now raises 1,200 soldiers, and one liter of grain will be given at least 400 kilograms of grain a year, which will be worth three and a half stones. One thousand two hundred soldiers is 4,200 stones. This is just the food consumption of soldiers, not to mention that they have to be given a spoonful of grain and salary every month. By farming alone, Li Jing planted the entire island with grain, and could not afford these soldiers.

What's more, Li Jing still owes the Han family a huge amount of 100,000 yuan.

Li Jing had already thought about this thousand five hundred acres of land on the island, and he would not leave all the land to all the soldiers and families. However, it was not enough to enter a lot of fields. Next, he had to open various workshops as soon as possible to consume some of the soldiers' families who were not assigned to the fields.

Li Jing smiled at Wang Blacksmith: "Uncle Blacksmith, I will divide all the land for everyone when Jinyao."

The old blacksmith immediately had his eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Sanlang, can you tell me that you can give my family a few more acres."

Although the old blacksmith still has dozens of acres of land in his family, his son Xiao Shitou is Li Jing's deputy head of the servant team. He is now appointed by Li Jing as the owner of the Blacksmith House, and his family is not short of money. But in his heart, land is still the most important. No matter how much gold, silver and copper coins are, they cannot be used as food, clothing and clothes. Li Jing nodded in his heart and agreed. The island has few land, and Li Jing probably can only be divided into the family members of the officers in the end. Although he also wants to be fair, sometimes, the level can better reflect the kindness of Shangguan.

Liu Shouqian, who came to greet his family, whispered in Li Jing's ear: "It's still the general who thought about it, and he had already purchased and hoarded grains early on. Now there are more than 10,000 stones of grain in several warehouses at our port terminal. If there are grains in your hands, you won't feel panic. Otherwise, after two or thousands of numbers, you can't bear it if you eat horses." He used to be a landlord and had the most experience of grain.

Li Jing did have a lot of food in his hands now, but he knew that the great civil unrest in the late Tang Dynasty was about to come, and that food would be the most precious thing at that time, and no amount of gold or silver could be exchanged. Huang Chao, Qin Zongquan, Sun Ru, and later, the troops led by him were all sucked into the devil. Why? It was because he couldn't even rob the food.

"Those grains cannot always be stored in warehouses that you don't want to enter. After a little bit of time, you can drive a boat to transport all the grain back to Shamen Island." Grain is something that really saves life. Li Jing is not assured to keep this thing. Not only will his own grain be transported back, Li Jing still has some money in his hand now, and he also plans to try to buy more grain. The grain will only rise in the future and will never fall again. Moreover, even if the price increases, you may not be able to buy it. While there are still some things you still have, you can buy more. Anyway, you can't plant much by planting it yourself.

Li's mother and Han Xiao were sitting in a sedan chair, and there was no need to blow the cold wind all the way. When the sedan chair stopped, the Shamen Fort had arrived. Han saw the thousand shacks outside the fort wall and thought everyone could live outside.

"Mom, the child has already prepared a big house in the fort, so we can all live in."

"What about your sisters? Do they have a place to live?" Li Jing's three married sisters also brought their children and children together this time, and their three brother-in-laws have joined the logistics soldiers as a small leader. They do some technical work in the logistics soldiers, and they don't have to work hard every time or worry about going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. This is also Li Jing's care for his three brother-in-law.

"Don't worry, all the arrangements have been made. The three sisters' homes are next to our house, and the other fourth sister's house is also on the side."

Zhang Hong and Lin Wei, who were commanding the soldiers to start construction of the second shack camp, ran over and hurriedly greeted Li's mother. "Zhang Bingcao, copy the house allocation list arranged yesterday and posted it here, let a few people recite it, and help everyone settle the home first." Almost all the families who came here were officers and all of them were assigned to the houses in the fort.

When many families heard that there were ready-made houses, they all became interested and immediately surrounded Zhang Hong on three floors inside and outside. Fortunately, the list was drafted yesterday, so Zhang Hong immediately copied a copy and posted it for the soldiers to read. When they read it, the family came up to receive a wooden sign with the address number, and then naturally a soldier took them to the address of the house written on the sign.

Li Huier and Yu Youniang and Li Jing also arranged a very beautiful yard for them, and they went happily. After a while, they ran back and asked Li Jing to divide them a house as a bedding workshop. Li Jing did not expect that these girls were so concerned about the workshop recently, but this was good, which saved a lot of trouble. Li Jing had already made arrangements for the workshop.

It turned out that there was a workshop area in the fort. Li Jing kept the area completely and assigned a surrounding house to the workshop area, expanding the workshop area. Yu Youniang and the others still used the original tailor and dyeing workshop, and all of these two workshops and some tools were directly assigned to them.

With a residence, a larger workshop and more complete tools than when he was in Wangli Village, Yu Youniang was in full swing, but only the female workers in the workshop had not arrived yet. "When will they arrive? We are still waiting for the start of work. We have not completed the order for thousands of military uniforms last time."

Seeing their anxious appearance, Li Jing smiled and said, "Come on, come on, come on, I'll send the boat to Dengzhou Wharf to wait. Once I arrive, I'll ask them to bring your female worker in the workshop first."
