It's almost dusk.

Songping City, Jiaozhou, was a newly established city in the Southern Dynasty, so it was named Songping. In a garden that was not very eye-catching on the outside, it was a winding Jiangnan style, making people feel like they were back to Guangling Yangzhou.

Fan Lin was sitting in the hall at this time, wearing Linyi clothes. She had officially raised the banner of Queen Linyi in Jiaozhou City. The Tang Dynasty also supported Qin Lang's suggestion and specially sent officials from the Honglu Temple to send the emperor's enthronement and seal of Fan Lin.

With the support of Tian Khan, Fan Lin recruited soldiers in Jiaozhou City. Many nobles who fled from Linyi came to join us, and many Linyi merchants came to pay their respects.

Fan Lin received the support of the Qin family's money and grain, so the manor became the place where Lin Yi was exiled to the imperial court. Fan Lin recruited soldiers, recruited mercenaries, and purchased rental fleets.

During this period, a small-scale mercenary army has been formed.

"How is it, is it easy to be the queen?"

Qin Lang asked with a smile.

Queen Isana, who was usually as cold as ice and had the majesty of the queen, returned to the Fan Lin on the banks of Qilu Lake in front of Qin Lang, and became gentle.

"It's quite difficult. I've never been involved in government affairs before, let alone now in Jiaozhou City, the Tang Dynasty, building such an exiled court. Everything is coming together, which makes people feel a headache. I sleep less than two hours a day."

Qin Lang reached out to hold the princess, "I am indeed much haggard, it makes me feel distressed. What else is missing? I will arrange it for you."

"Everything is short, mercenaries, money, food, weapons, ships, and even loyal and reliable talents, but in fact, these are sufficient now, and I want to return to Linyi as soon as possible."

"Originally, I planned to send the South China Sea Navy to escort you back to Linyipu and kill you back to the royal city to regain the throne. However, now the court has just arrived with an order. There is a war in the north. The court is urgently summoning the navy to return. Both the North Sea and the East China Sea navy have to draw elite troops to go north. The South China Sea Fleet not only needs to maintain order in the South China Sea, but also have to go north to manage part of the East China Sea sea surface, so it is impossible to go south to Linyi for the time being."

The princess flashed with disappointment.

"But you don't have to worry. The South China Sea Navy is an official army of the court and has to obey the imperial military orders, but I can still help you get a fleet from other places. I was asking the Qin family to draw the maritime merchant fleet over, and also sent invitations to other maritime merchants in the southeast. I believe that it won't be long before many maritime ships will gather in Jiaozhou."

"If there is a Datang Navy fleet to go, it means differently." The princess said.

"I know this. Then I will borrow a few military personnel from the South China Sea Navy and borrow a few flags. It will be the same effect."

"Duke Wei has such a big face. Are those maritime merchants really willing to help me?"

Qin Lang smiled, not because he had a big face, but because there were benefits in it, helping Fan Lin return to Linyi to seize the throne, joining together various maritime merchants to pay for ships and pay for people, forming a joint fleet, plus the troops hired by Fan Lin, they will fight back and land directly on Linyipu. Once Linyipu is captured, there will be many benefits.

"The princess just needs to sign one or two agreements with the maritime merchants first. This agreement includes a loan agreement. Each family takes out a large amount of money to lend it to the princess, help the princess recruit more mercenaries, sailors, buy or rent more ships, and purchase various needs, or even purchase weapons and equipment from the court. In addition, the ships and people of each family can be considered to be rented to the princess, but in addition to the rental fee, they also require a share of the share."

“Split it?”

"Even after conquering Linyipu, everyone should share the benefits, and they should share some of the wealth in the city."

This is a robbery, but it is also a matter of course. Others can never do good deeds without leaving a name, and come to help him without trying anything. Even Qin Lang is a lover, he cannot do nothing.

The princess could imagine what would happen after such a huge combined fleet captured Linyipu? By then, the money in the Linyi treasury would become the spoils of everyone and be divided up. Even the rebels' wealth would be confiscated and robbed...

"How much do they want?"

"I originally wanted all the money and silk population in Linyipu, but I think it would be enough to give them half of the money and grain of the city and the rebels' property. In addition, after conquering Linyipu, I hope that the princess can set a piece of land in Linyipu, let the Tang merchants build a new wharf, and build a Tang city next to the wharf and build Chinatown."

"In Chinatown, we hope that the princess can allow the Tang people to govern themselves and have extra-legal powers. Tang Dynasty laws are implemented in the Tang city, and the Tang people are managed by the Tang people themselves to exercise judicial power. The tariffs and commercial taxes in the Tang people's wharf and Tang city are all collected by the Tang people and then handed over to Linyi State..."

"In Tangcheng, the Tang people can form the Tang Business Council, and the Council will manage the Tangcheng, and form a guard with no more than a thousand people. It can also establish courts, police stations, water patrol teams, etc. What does the princess think?"

The princess was thinking seriously.

Linyipu, also known as Dazhanhaikou, also known as Sengjiabuluo, is the capital of Linyi. In later generations, it has always been the most important maritime trading port in Southeast Asia from the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It also has a name, the City of Lions.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Hoi'an even became a Chinatown, with Chinese businessmen everywhere, and Chinese people all over the city, with many guild halls. Hoi'an City was even divided into five Chinese districts according to the races of different regions, including Fujian Gang, Guangdong Gang, Chaozhou Gang, Hainan Gang and Hakka Gang, which was powerful.

Although Linyipu only had a small number of Chinese businessmen at this time, Qin Lang believed that the era of great navigation that the Tang Dynasty started was coming, and the southeast coast would flourish, and Linyipu, an important port, would become more and more prosperous. It is still necessary to take the opportunity to enclose a piece of land first.

Qin Lang believed that setting up a Chinese concession directly in Linyipu was the act that best guarantees the interests of the Tang Dynasty and the maritime merchants, and also avoids some disputes and contradictions. In fact, this is also a bit beneficial for the Linyi Kingdom. Although this is undoubtedly damaged by sovereignty, the Tang Dynasty was originally the sect leader of Linyi. Now Fan Lin has voluntarily become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. What's wrong with building a concession in the Tang Dynasty?

The Tang Dynasty set up a vassal for the Hu people in Guangzhou, but the Hu people did not have any extrajudicial power, but after all, their strength is king.

"Linyi can build a Chinatown for the Tang people, but the extrajudicial power is inappropriate?"

Qin Lang smiled, "Actually, if you are willing to give up some power appropriately, it will not affect Linyi. On the contrary, it will attract countless Tang merchants to come. By then, the Lion City will be a hundred times more prosperous than it is now. For you, this is actually far more beneficial than disadvantages."

"In this way, I will divide a Jiangxinzhou in the Qiuban River in Linyi Pu into Tangcheng, how about it?"

The princess said that Jiangxinzhou is still large, and it is about six or seven miles long. It is a narrow riverxinzhou. The two ends are large and small in the middle, like a bone. The two ends are more than three miles wide, but the narrow one is only fifty or sixty feet wide.

It is only about thirty feet wide from the narrow side of the other side.

Qin Lang had prepared a long time ago and took out a map of **Yipu.

The princess was surprised.

"What the princess said about this narrow Huludao? I think this island is quite large, but not ideal. The two ends are large and the middle is small, and it is a bit off from Linyi Pucheng. I think this smaller island in the west is more suitable."

The princess said that the island is only about 200 meters away from the west, and there is also a smaller island in Jiangxin, which is only about 1,000 meters long and slightly triangular, and is only three or four hundred meters wide. However, the island is facing Linyipu City, and the two sides are only more than ten feet apart.

Just build a bridge to connect.

The princess was a little surprised.

“There are several fishing villages on this island.”

"It's simple. We can give them some compensation for demolition, and the princess will move them to other places."

The princess was also surprised that Qin Lang was willing to ask for the big and small. As a result, Qin Lang changed his mind and said that it would be better to simply assign other islands in the middle of the river to the Tang Dynasty. Even if it was from the Tang Dynasty Concession, the Tang Dynasty was willing to pay the land rent for a lease period of 500 years. The Tang Dynasty was willing to pay the first 50 years in one lump sum, and the subsequent one was paid every year. How about it?

The Qiuban River is south of Linyi Pu City, about ten miles from Haikou.

Qiuban River has many rivers and continents here. In fact, Qiuban River is like a big lake next to Linyipu. There are many rivers in the heart of the river, as big as Canaan Island, and three miles wide, which is very huge.

There are also six or seven islands that are several miles longer than Canaan Island.

There are more than a dozen smaller ones.

This does not include the two larger sandbanks in the southwest upstream. They are all huge sandbanks that are twenty or thirty miles long. They are all formed by the rinsing of the Qiuban River, just like Chongming Island in Shanghai in later generations.

Because it was too big, Qin Lang was embarrassed to ask for these two huge sandbanks.

But even the dozen or so sandbanks south of Linyipu are actually very huge.

I heard that Qin Lang wanted to rent it all, and the lease lasted for 500 years. The princess was really hesitant now.

With a 500-year lease period, the concession will still have Tang people's autonomy and extra-legal governance. Then these places will no longer belong to Linyi, which is the country within the country.

"The rent is easy to say. I think those sandbanks are actually deserted. I think that when there are more people in Tangfang, they will definitely bring family members and relatives, and may even build workshops there. The concession is not big and I am afraid it will not be able to accommodate them. So I rent these sandbanks in advance, and then build residential manors on it, and then build some vegetable gardens and fields, which will also facilitate the construction of warehouses and workshops. Of course, the more Tang merchants come, the more families you have moved, which will also bring greater business opportunities to Linyi and promote your prosperity, right?"

"You don't have to worry about anything else. Linyi is still thousands of miles away from Jiaozhou. These small sandbanks are just rented for convenient passers-by. There will be no other problems."

The princess looked at Qin Lang and smiled slightly.

"There is no free lunch in the world. Saburo's request is not too much. Well, I agree."

"Public is public and private is private. Although our relationship is originally just like you, it involves many maritime merchants after all, so I will arrange a time to invite all maritime merchants to come to see the princess. Then we will officially sign a treaty, from borrowing to renting a land, a package of plans. Don't worry, I will make the princess a bid to get as many preferential conditions as possible!"
