It was already November 20th when Xu Changqing received the news from Beijing. At this time, Xu Changqing's main force had arrived at the mouth of the Fu River and joined the fleet of Uncle Zhong and his team.

The effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey before was very good. There are no bandits who dare to come and cause trouble for Xu Changqing these days.

However, Xu Changqing was still furious when he heard the news from Beijing.

This is not because of his bad reputation, but because those merchants who should kill Qiandao used his portrait rights to Xu Changqing and did not give him a patent fee!

This is all white money.

There may not be more, but there must be a thousand eight hundred taels. No matter how small the mosquito meat is, it will still be meat, right?

Unfortunately, before Xu Changqing had time to settle accounts with the unscrupulous merchants in Beijing, the complicated migration affairs had already made Xu Changqing unable to escape.

At this time, Uncle Zhong and his friends had found a suitable bay between the mouth of Shanghe River and Tuhe River in Zhanhua. They set up camp first.

However, the situation was completely different from what Xu Changqing expected.

At this time, the area of ​​Zhanhua has not been redirected by the Yellow River. The land is highly alkalized, and the desertification in the sea is very serious, mostly swamp quagmire. Not to mention farming, it is difficult to survive.

The population is indeed thin, which can avoid many unnecessary conflicts, but it is a bit too much for him to see a village for dozens of miles.

"Master, the situation is a bit bad. We are not ready, and we have not surveyed the terrain and terrain enough. In addition, things are not easy to do at this time..."

Uncle Zhong is much older than before, his hair is much whiter, and he feels very guilty when he looks at Xu Changqing.

The young master trusted him so much and gave him such great power, but he couldn't help the young master with such a small matter.

Xu Changqing had calmed down at this time and pointed to the map and said, "Are there a few small towns here? What is the geography?"

Uncle Zhong said: "There are basically no villages and towns in the Shanghe Basin. The Tuhe Basin is stronger, but the situation is not very good. A better place must be at least thirty or forty miles from the shore."

"Have you seen the Fengguo Town on the Daqing River? I saw the villages on this side of the map, and there are many towns."

"This is not yet. But, I heard that many places here seem to be from King Heng...Master, let's..."

"Is it from King Heng?"

Xu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Daqing River Basin is all the land of Jinan Prefecture. King Heng’s hand is so stubborn that he is really extraordinary!

However, on the other hand, this is not a bad thing.

Since King Heng has reached out, it means that the land here should be good, at least there should be little problem in ensuring people's survival.

"Uncle Zhong, don't worry about this, I'll find a way! I'll leave it to you in the camp!"

"Yes, handsome."

...

Uncle Zhong was left to handle the subsequent migration affairs. Xu Changqing immediately took his mother, Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei and his daughters, together with hundreds of craftsmen who had already boarded the ship, and headed to the territory first by sea.

Now, the offshore area has frozen. Although the freezing is not too strong, only 200 to 300 meters, this is not a good sign.

Xu Changqing knew that in later generations, the deep winter here often froze for several miles.

Xu Changqing must find a suitable camping site before large-scale freezing offshore, and then store enough food and fuel, including establishing good fishing sites.

After these days of soothing, Yang Family, Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei and others have already come out of the shadow of the Battle of Qijiawa and are in a pretty good mood.

However, even if they did not suffer any substantial damage, the shadow of the scale of the war was not easy for them to eliminate.

There were not many important things on the boat. In addition to writing a few letters on the boat, Xu Changqing urged Wang Chengen to ask the military supervisor to come as soon as possible and help him take the blame. He also wrote a letter to Tang Ruowang, asking the foreign monk to come sooner.

Even though I don't want Catholic things to penetrate into the team so quickly

Wu Li, however, the situation is very serious at this time, and Xu Changqing needs Joshua Chan to help.

At worst, I will capture the bandits and let the old man educate them.

Furthermore, we should use Chen Tingyang's relationship to strive to buy some food from Denglai.

Before the specific situation is clear and the big framework is completely structured, Xu Changqing will definitely make this part of the advance funding.

Xu Changqing spent the rest of the time with his mother and a few wives, and soon, they gradually became clearer.

The speed of the sea boat is much faster than that of the river boat.

More than two days later, Xu Changqing and his group had arrived at the temporary camp that the Zhongshu and his men formed between the Shanghe River and the Tuhe River estuaries.

Sure enough, as Zhong Shu said, the bay was very good, but the surrounding area was too delicious and unacceptable.

Soon, Xu Changqing and his group continued to go south and arrived at the Daqing River Basin, and the situation changed instantly.

The land here is indeed a bit worse than the fertile land inland, but it is no longer so unacceptable.

Xu Changqing got off the boat and inspected the surrounding area for a while, and gained an in-depth understanding of the surrounding terrain, which was very good.

Especially in Tiemen Pass and Fengguo Town, there is still a lot of room for development. As long as the operation is done properly, it will not be too serious to support Xu Changqing's manpower at this time.

Soon, Xu Changqing also learned something from the local people that shocked him!

Kenli Island!

In later generations, Xu Changqing had a classmate from Kenli. He had been to it several times. It was the core hinterland of the oil field, and kowtow machines were everywhere.

However, in later generations, most of the land was washed out by the Yellow River.

At this time, there was no Yellow River flowing in Shandong at all, and Kenli was just an isolated island!

A day later, when Xu Changqing and his group arrived at Kenli Island, they were immediately excited!

Although Kenli Island is not big, it is estimated to be only about ten square miles in full swing, there are several natural oil wells on the island!

You can use it directly without refining!

Moreover, the surrounding fish resources are also very good, and there are many places that are suitable for setting up fishing spots!

Xu Changqing immediately made a decision and began to plan new camps in the coastal area near Tiemen Pass, so that the main force could migrate here one after another.

As for Kenli Island, Xu Changqing naturally won’t let it go!

Although there is no internal combustion engine at this time and the strategic attributes of oil are not outstanding, this thing can be used as a "biological and chemical weapon" after a little refining!

What's more, this kind of natural oil well!

Although the conditions in the bay here are a little worse, it can be compensated by spending more manpower. For Xu Changqing, this is not a problem at all.

In the future, if you suppress more bandits, you will have these manpower.

...

More than ten days later, on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the camp along Tiemenguan coast had already become more and more beautiful.

Although they are all shanty towns, Xu Changqing has accumulated some of them, whether it is grain, firewood, or coal from central Shandong, and it is no longer a big problem to survive this cold winter.

The settings of Kenli Island and fishing spots have also begun to go on track.

Xu Changqing finally had room for his work and began to plan for land.

The eunuchs and military commanders sent by Wang Chengen had arrived at Zhanhua County at this time. The eunuch was no other person. It was the eunuch surnamed Li who had led Xu Changqing into the palace and had been serving Emperor Chongzhen.

From this we can also see that Emperor Chongzhen valued Xu Changqing and the eunuchs around him were released.

However, Xu Changqing was not in a hurry to find him, but just wrote him a letter asking him to help with some annoying official matters.

For example, Tiemen Pass and Fengguo Town areas were all turned into military camps.

Those who do not want to join the military camp have to leave. After all, this is already a rule of law under Xu Changqing.

Of course, although Xu Changqing did not come in person, the benefits had been sent to Eunuch Li.

The fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Arrange the camp

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

For the local defense, Xu Changqing took a fast ship, took Zhao Zengjin, Mao Tiech and dozens of personal soldiers to the south along the coast and quietly arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture.

At this time, Xu Changqing has to pay a good visit to King Xiaheng.

According to the convention of the state, it is strictly forbidden for vassal kings to interfere with local officials, and finding it will be a serious crime!

So Xu Changqing did not wear an official robe, but changed into a wealthy businessman's outfit. Zhao Zengjin and the others were the same, dressed as a tough thug.

After getting off the boat and riding a horse into Qingzhou, the environment quickly became different.

Not only is the surrounding area flat, there are many fields, but they are also very good in quality, far higher than the fields Xu Changqing saw in the Tiemenguan area.

When they entered Shouguang territory, many fields made Xu Changqing drool.

These lands are really great, flat and fertile, and the water source is extremely abundant. The slightly black color makes people fascinated. No wonder it is the vegetable land of later generations.

Moreover, although it is late winter, it can still be seen that these fields are well maintained. As long as it is not a major disaster next year, it is certain that you will get a lot of rewards.

There are villages full of fireworks everywhere. Even if the people's clothes are not very good, they are very stable. It is completely different from Liao, Ji Town, and many places where Xu Changqing passed along the road!

But~, this is still under the rule of King Heng’s super high rent...

It is conceivable that once the shackles of these people are liberated, what will be the effect!
To be continued...
