Chapter 774 Secret

Fuqingfang, also known as Fuqingwu, or Fuqing Manor.

This is an enclave under the rule of the Fuzhou Governor. This lively place with a population of more than 50,000 people is not above the registration of the yamen, like a black hole.

Before the Qin family came, there were a group of poor and fierce people seeking resettlement. They neither registered nor collected a penny of taxes, nor could they even be charged for military service.

For a long time, the Fuzhou Yamen actually treated these islands like the gangsters who wandered on the coastal seas, and the government did not treat them as human beings at all.

After the Qin family came, these strange things that made people feel headache and annoying when they heard it became money-making goods. The Qin family named Fuqing, built at least the port of the dock, opened manors and workshops, started camphor incense processing, and started Shangtun planting, and various handmade commodity workshops, making them very exciting.

Originally, the Fuzhou Yamen had thought about taking Fuqing into jurisdiction. At first, he wanted to set up a township here, but later he wanted to simply set up a county and planned to send officials to manage it. However, the Qin family went directly to the Fuzhou Yamen to pay homage to the presidency.

No one knew what they had been talking about, but afterwards, the governor did not mention the establishment of townships and county officials. The Fuzhou Yamen was at ease to collect the taxes and additional donations from the other side every year.

Fuqing registered as Shangtun in the archives of the state yamen, and according to the regulations of the court, it encouraged Shangtun. For merchants hiring people or using slaves to open up wasteland, they were allowed to be Yongye, and tax exemption for the first three years and tax reduction for another three years.

New handicraft workshops, etc., are also free of charge for land and exempt from taxes for the first three and a half years.

The Qin family was very generous. Although the imperial court had various encouragement policies, the Qin family should give a lot of money and grain, charity warehouse grain, and social warehouse grain were all lost in excess. Every year when typhoons come or when floods and droughts occur, they also take the initiative to donate grain.

He also donated a lot to the state's regiment training, joint defense, etc. With these, although Fuzhou was replaced by the governor, he completely gave the right to autonomy for the Fuqing area and kept his promises. No official or yamen runner was sent here to make trouble.

Fuqing is completely managed by the Qin family.

Almost 40,000 Liuqiu's foreign citizens, plus the tens of thousands brought by the Qin family, this place is more lively than ordinary county towns.

But the Qin family managed it in an orderly manner.

The port terminal is very lively, but there are only some shops and workshops here. There is also a city at the upper reaches of Longjiangkou.

It is called Fuqingwu, but in fact it is no different from a city.

Even the inside and outside are doubled, plus the locks.

The inner city is where managers, craftsmen and guards live, while the outer city is where shops, workshops, warehouses, etc. Outside the outer city, there are also large areas of houses, but they are accommodation areas, canteens, etc. planned for those who are amateurs.

There was a brigade guard in Fuqing with a population of 500 people. In addition, several joint defense teams were formed from military slaves, workshop workers, shop workers, etc., and the public security in the entire area was still very good.

Qin Lang inspected Fuqingwu, which was not very big but very lively, and before entering the city, he also inspected the military farms on both sides of the Longjiang River.

More than 1,600 hectares of land have been reclaimed, most of which were bought directly from Liuqiuren.

This more than 160,000 acres of land can now bring about 500,000 stones of grain to Fuqingwu a year. It not only can fully supply more than 50,000 people in Fuqing, but also a lot of surplus.

Originally, Liuqiu Ren was here for more than 20 years and it was difficult to fill his stomach, but after the Qin family came, they brought advanced Central Plains farming technology, many advanced iron farm tools, and transported many cattle and horses to cultivate the fields. They also used rice seeds from Linyi Kingdom here, two seasons a year.

The use of compost technology has enabled the yield per mu to exceed three stones in two quarters, which is more than three times higher than the previous output.

There are many islands here and fishery resources are good. The Qin family also herded cattle, horses and sheep here, and also engaged in side jobs of fishing, salt and salt.

Looking through the account book, Qin Lang found that what really makes money is actually workshops and trade, especially camphor incense workshops, the most profitable. Shipyards and shipyards have not recovered their costs yet. Agriculture seems good, but the returns are not high.

Other workshops such as garment, shoes, fishing nets, pottery and wood are mainly supplied to local and Fuzhou. They are not large in scale and have low efficiency.

The salt making factory is not large in scale and mainly supplies it to itself.

The previous trade with Liuqiu was able to make a lot of investment, but it has been suspended for half a year this year.

"Alang, the other people are here."

Qin Lang raised his head from the account book, nodded, and closed the account book.

There were more than thirty people coming in, and they could no longer see any other people in their clothes. Instead, they looked like a group of landlords and wealthy people, wearing silk shirts, and wearing hair and hair.

However, they are basically tattooed with various tattoos on their faces.

In terms of appearance, it is not much different from the people in the Central Plains. It looks similar to the people in Lingnan. Both are not tall and dark.

After these people came in, they worshiped their heads very respectfully.

"sit!"

"Take tea!"

Fuqing is a major industry of the Qin family. It has invested a lot of effort. The prosperity we have today is actually inseparable from these people.

In recent years, most of the people in the country have already worked in the Qin family, either farming or working, or raising cattle and horses to fish. They all use their wages to work, and their lives are more comfortable.

The Qin family has a management system, such as building a special dormitory to provide food and accommodation for the foreigners. These benefits actually broke the living style of the foreigners’ tribes and villages in disguise.

The people of the French sold the little land that could not be filled to the Qin family at a high price, moved into the Qin family's dormitory, ate the canteen, accepted collective management, and enjoyed convenience and comfort, but it also broke the life tradition of the past, especially the leaders of the former tribal villages, whose control over the French people was no longer as good as before.

However, as the leader, he will not give up the little power he has in his hands easily.

Some of the leaders accepted the Qin family's employment, became foreman or manager, while others refused to hire.

But no matter what, these leaders lived a good life.

The Qin family's chief manager introduced to Qin Lang one by one, which tribe they came from, what names they were named, etc.

"Hunsi Island Mason, pay homage to Saburo."

When it was Huansi Island Raft, he took the initiative to report his name without waiting for the management to introduce him and bowed respectfully.

Qin Lang smiled slightly, "I know you, have you used to living here by the son of Lao Wang, the old king of Huansi on Liuqiu Island? Do you want to go back to Liuqiu Island?"

Huanjidaoqiu has read a lot of books over the years and knows the allusion of not wanting to worry about Shu. He quickly replied, "This place is very good, especially since the Qin family came here, we have made us live a good life."

"Ko Liuqiu is your hometown after all, so he doesn't want to go back?"

Huansi Island Mason hesitated for a while and said, "This is good, this is good."

"Hahaha!"

Qin Lang smiled and said, "I am visiting the southeast of the province this time. I pass by here and come here to take a look. I also plan to go to Liuqiu Island on the other side to take a look. I heard that some of the monks there were a little too greedy. They want to raise the price of camphor incense. We refused. They even blocked our store and detained our people."

"I plan to go and have a look. I still lack some guides familiar with the island. I originally wanted to pick some people from you. Since I have fun here, let's not forget it."

"Daoqiu is willing to serve Duke Wei!" Daoqiu shouted quickly when he heard this.

······

Qin Lang left Huansi Island Mat alone.

This is the office room of the big manager. In the past, the island mallet often visited and left, but today he felt very arrogant when sitting here.

He knelt on the mat, his whole body stretched very straight and did not dare to relax.

"Drink tea!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Qin."

Qin Lang smiled, "I'm not my husband anymore, I'll stop looking. This is my fifth time stopping. Do you know the reason?"

Island Mason shook his head quickly.

"In fact, it is not a big deal. This time, I was ordered by the saint to patrol the southeast of the province. Starting from Shanhaiguan at the northernmost end, there was a man who heard that the Goguryeo people actually dared to rob the merchant ships on the Bohai Channel of the Tang Dynasty, so he led his troops to suppress more than a thousand soldiers on the Long Island of the Goguryeo people. The interrogation learned that these people were robbed by the order of the Lord of Beisha City, so he simply led his troops to capture Beisha City."

"Do you know where Beisha City is? It is located at the southernmost end of the Liaodong Peninsula in the north. It is built on a mountain. The city is ten miles long and is extremely dangerous. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, but one of them has only one thousand people to break through this city overnight. The population of Beisha City is captured by me and sold to slaves......"

Huansi Island Mason listened to Qin Lang slowly and slowly, but understood the amazing thing behind it. When the Sui army attacked Liu Qiu, he was still young, but he had seen the battle with his own eyes. The strength of the Sui army was deeply imprinted in his mind, but when Zhang Zhen, Zhou and Chen Len led tens of thousands of Sui army, it was not like entering a no-man's land. They also resisted tenaciously and killed many Sui army.

But now Qin Lang said that he only had one thousand people and could break through a ten-mile mountain city guarded by ten thousand people overnight. This is unimaginable.

Does the Qin family like to brag about how their heads are?

The name of the two generations of the Qin family is well-deserved.

"The kings on Liuqiu Island are worse than the other generations now, and are far inferior to your Huansi family back then."

"I'm ready to teach these greedy guys a lesson."

Huansi Island Mason did not dare to speak nonsense, but was vaguely excited.

"I heard that the tens of thousands of Liuqiu people in Fuqing came from more than a dozen tribes on the island, and is the most prestigious one here now?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"I know you, I heard your name when I was in Chang'an. Before my Qin family came, you were the leader of the largest tribe among the dozen tribes here. You fought bravely and had extraordinary strategies. After my Qin family came, you took the initiative to bring your tribe members to your side, sell them to us, and cooperate with us. You are a smart person."

The island mallet sat there honestly.

"But I also know that you are not just showing these things. In recent years, you have helped the Qin family manage these foreigners, and you have also set up an incense club. Every year, in the name of incense and worshipping ancestors, the foreigners will pay membership fees and build incense boats. Every year, you have to choose many young and strong incense boats to the island, called ancestor worship, and actually practice combat formation and martial arts, or even secretly smuggle banned objects, build military armor, etc."

Huansi Daoqiu was so shocked that he was sweating all over his body. He knelt on the ground, and almost lay on the ground. He didn't expect that Qin Lang had mastered all his secrets. He had always thought that he had made the secret.

"Huansi Island Mason, I know that you are determined to return to the Liujuan and even regain the territory of your tribe. However, you are in the Tang Dynasty. What you do is to commit a crime of corruption and be unforgivable. You will be punished by nine clans, knowing?"
