Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Everyone has been very busy recently.Min Chong was busy handing over the navy to Pei Linzhi, and Xiao Yu was busy preparing goods and food for the ships going to sea.

The time to prepare for going to sea this time is much more than the last time, so the cargo is also much more.But this time there were more ships going to sea than last time, there were four ships in total, so the goods they prepared still couldn't fill the four big ships.

Before going to sea, Dou Qiye took a boat to Guangzhou and Yuezhou to buy a whole boatload of tea and silk. These things are expensive, and when they arrive in the Western Regions, they can sell for more than ten times the price.

If you can return safely, you will be really rich. This is why people are not afraid of difficulties and obstacles to take the Silk Road. The huge profits make people willing to take this risk.

At the end of February, Min Chong took four ships loaded with silk, tea, porcelain, paper, umbrellas, and small ironware and embarked on a journey south again.

This time, apart from the original crew who went to sea last time, there are also many original pirate brothers from Min Chong. These people have lived in the sea all year round, and they are well versed in water and the habits of the ocean.

This time, Ji Shan was also the captain of a ship, and Min Chong took him with him all the time, intending to train him to be his successor.

In the future, Xiao Yu will become the king and the emperor, and he will be the secretary of the household department. This maritime trade will be a major source of income for the empire, and it cannot be stopped. Someone must continue to go on.Qiye is getting old, Jishan is undoubtedly the best choice.

After the fleet left, the private school in Yazhou also started.

Although a lot of publicity has been done, and the news of building schools in various places is not small, the number of students recruited is not as many as Xiao Yu expected.

It shows that the school attendance rate is high in areas with a good economic foundation, and there are few students in remote and poor areas. Some schools have only a few students.

This is still free education. If there is a fee, I am afraid that many schools will not be able to recruit students.

People are far from realizing the importance of reading and literacy.

Although there are only a few students, the master still has to attend classes, which is a bit like going to a remote mountainous area to teach.

Xiao Yu was very pessimistic about the current situation of the school. These masters came here only to be able to take the selection exam. If they failed the selection exam after a year, I don’t know how many people would be willing to stay and continue teaching.

I just hope that the selection examination can stimulate more scholars to sign up to be masters.

Spring plowing has started long ago, and a small half of the people in Yazhou received iron farm tools such as hoes and sickles.

It is not a lack of iron, but the efficiency of farm tool processing is too low. Even if all the blacksmiths are mobilized to work day and night, the output is very limited.What's more, they not only make farm tools, but also forge a large number of weapons.

This is a typical shortage of talents. Although Xiao Yu has paid great attention to cultivating newcomers, the production capacity still cannot keep up.

At this time, Xiao Yu would think hard about how those machines were designed.It's a pity that he didn't study mechanics, he was just an agricultural student.

When it comes to agronomy, he has a sense of accomplishment.Before Min Chong set off, the hybrid rice of Yazhou rice and Champa rice was harvested. The first generation of hybrid rice had no characteristics. It was necessary to plant the first generation. After harvesting, the difference from the parent generation could be seen.

Xiao Yu sent the offspring back to Baisha Village and sowed them in the rice fields in front of his house. Because the area of ​​the paddy fields in the house is limited, he still needs to conduct experiments on the hybridization of Yazhou rice and Champa rice with Siam rice and Tianzhu rice respectively.

The four hybrid offspring are staggered in time and space, and are sown in the rice fields in front of the house, so as to avoid re-hybridization when blooming and ensure the purity of the offspring.

Xiao Yu picked out a careful little assistant from home, and made records every day according to his instructions.

Most of the seed rhizomes brought back last year can be sown again while the flowers bloom in the warm spring. Most of the vegetables and spices planted last year have good adaptability in Yazhou.

Xiao Yu hoped that they would not degenerate too badly and could adapt to Yazhou as soon as possible.

Among these crop seeds, what surprised Xiao Yu the most was cotton.

Cotton likes a growing environment with sufficient light, warmth and less waterlogging. Yazhou has obvious rainy and less rainy seasons throughout the year, so he has planted cotton since last autumn. This time is the less rainy season in Yazhou, and cotton will not It was flooded to death and had plenty of sunshine.

After the whole autumn and winter growth, it has blossomed and beared fruit now, and the first batch of cotton bolls have been bolled.

Xiao Yu discovered that the fibers of this cotton were very long, and it might be the long-staple cotton produced in Egypt, which was a surprise.

The only thing that is not very optimistic is that it may not be suitable for the local climate and the phenomenon of cotton falling peaches is relatively serious.But at least being able to grow cotton is already a huge improvement.

In the future, if we return to land and plant cotton all over the continent, we can solve the problem of clothing for the common people.

Hybrid rice and cotton will be able to solve the problems of food and clothing, Xiao Yu feels happy when he thinks about it.

But not everything goes so smoothly. For example, there are many problems in Zhulu County.

Zhuguan County is the seat of the state capital of Yazhou. After Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi helped Xue Zhao get rid of the pirates and mountain thieves, Zhuguan County became much more peaceful. There were only a few thieves in and out, and the government severely cracked down on robbery and theft cases. Much less.

But Zhulu County is different. It is closer to the mainland, the terrain is flatter, and the population has more cultivated land.But the law and order is quite bad, and bandits and pirates are rampant.

The most recent case was that a group of pirates ransacked a village, killed dozens of unarmed villagers, including the elderly and children, and kidnapped more than a dozen women.

This major case shocked the entire Yazhou, causing panic. Many coastal villages fled inland, and many fields were abandoned.

In desperation, Tang Jingyun asked the Yazhou government for help.

When Pei Linzhi heard that the pirates were so rampant, he was furious and took the initiative to ask Ying to suppress the pirates.

Xiao Yu immediately agreed, the pirates are so lawless, of course they must be eradicated completely.The navy has trained soldiers for such a long time, and it happens that they also need to accumulate actual combat experience.

Pei Linzhi arranged for two warships to stay on patrol along the coast, and led the other six warships to leave Zhulu.

From the day Pei Linzhi left, Xiao Yu has never felt at ease, because Pei Linzhi is different from Min Chong, he has always led troops on land, and he doesn't know much about the habits of the sea.

There are mostly pirates in the navy, they are willing to recruit, and they serve Min Chong, now that Min Chong is not around, I don't know if they will turn against each other.

After waiting anxiously for almost a month, the warship that suppressed the thieves triumphed and won a complete victory. There were only a few casualties on the side, but Pei Linzhi did not come back.

Xiao Yu's heart almost didn't stop beating.

Fortunately, Guan Shan, who came back, explained in time that Pei Linzhi stayed in Zhulu to suppress the bandits, and would not come back until the bandits in Zhulu were wiped out.

Xiao Yu asked, "General Pei is not injured, is he?"

Guan Shan said: "Don't worry, sir, General Pei is unscathed. He asked me to escort these pirates back and wait for Lang Jun to deal with it."

Xiao Yu said: "They will all be locked up in Yazhou Prison, and they will be sent to prison after trial."

These pirates are not pirates from Yazhou, but have fled to Yazhou recently.Unlike the group of pirates that Min Chong brought before, they were simply insane, with extremely cruel methods, killing innocent people everywhere and robbing women.

Guan Shan said again: "Mr. Lang, we rescued some surviving women from the pirates. They suffered serious violations and were unwilling to go home. How should they be resettled?"

Xiao Yu asked: "About how many people are there? Let's send them to Anxinyuan temporarily." Anxinyuan is the courtyard where the girls of the Art Troupe live.

"There are about twenty people. It is said that the leader of the pirates is a vicious sadist, and at least a dozen women were tortured to death by him." Guan Shan's scalp was numb when he said it.

After hearing this, Xiao Yu slapped the table angrily: "This beast! Is this beast still there?"

Guan Shan said: "It's still there, it was shot in the eye by General Pei."

Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! This bastard must be sentenced to death!"

At this time, Xiao Yu felt that the ancient capital punishment was applicable. It would be too cheap for such a murderous monster to slash his neck with a knife.

Xiao Yu asked, "How are the bandits in Zhulu?"

"I heard that there are several places." Guan Shan replied.

Xiao Yu said: "You lead three hundred elite soldiers from Yazhou to support General Pei."

Guan Shan hesitated for a moment: "General Pei ordered me to protect Yazhou City."

Xiao Yu said: "The city wall of Yazhou is as solid as gold, and it is not so easy to be breached. Our fleet only has eight ships, and it is not very capable of confronting the imperial navy. You can just rest assured."

Guan Shan cupped his fists: "Yes!"

Xiao Yu ordered Yao Tao to start interrogating those wicked pirates. The number of these pirates was not many, that is, a hundred or so, but they had killed far more than a hundred people. pity.

Yao Tao has been an official for many years, and he has never seen such a ferocious demon.This is a gang of pirates roaming around Yazhou, Guangzhou, and Fengzhou, killing people like hemp.

The pirate leader who was bound by iron chains was extremely arrogant, and even uttered wild words when he was interrogated, as if he was not afraid of you.

He didn't cooperate with the interrogation, even if he imposed various punishments, he didn't let go, and he didn't know how many people he killed. In the end, the evidence was collected from other populations.

The woman he raped revealed that Diao Li had killed at least [-] women.As for how many people were killed during the looting, it is impossible to accurately calculate, at least there are dozens of people.

When Xiao Yu saw the interrogation record, he was so angry that he couldn't even pick up the pen. This is a typical murderous maniac. He finally covered it with a red pen: Ling Chi executed!

The rest were all beheaded for public display.

Moreover, he was executed immediately, and he was not left to wait for Qiuhou to be executed.

This is the first time Xiao Yu has used punishment since he took over Yazhou, and he killed hundreds of people, which shocked the whole Yazhou.

But it was also this move that greatly deterred those villains with evil intentions.It also encouraged the people of Yazhou, and the government finally let out a bad breath for the people.

This trial also accelerated Pei Linzhi's efforts to exterminate bandits.

In the past, everyone was afraid of bandits and pirates, because most of the government would not care about them, and the common people did not dare to expose the thieves in order to protect themselves.After the verdict, the common people knew that the government was really going to crack down on bandits this time, so they quietly reported to the government. In less than a month, all the bandits in Zhulu were wiped out.

Pei Linzhi went there for nearly two months, it was still spring when he went, and it was midsummer when he came back.

Xiao Yu looked at Pei Linzhi who was riding majestic on the horse, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, showing its sharpness and catching people's eyes.

He smiled and gave Pei Linzhi a thumbs up.

Pei Linzhi jumped off the horse and knelt down on one knee in front of him: "Mr. Lang, I'm back, luckily I didn't disgrace my life."
