The first year of Yunzhong, October.

Duan Yu was walking in the blacksmith shop, holding a hoe in his hand.

Although the shape is a bit rough, it is an iron tool after all, and it was made by several blacksmith apprentices. He couldn't help but nod: "What a hard worker, Master Cao."

Musashi Izumi is a sword caster, but smelting iron ore is a basic skill. At Duan Yu's request, he taught several apprentices, and then asked the apprentices to pass them to the apprentices, and even went to school to teach, and slowly trained blacksmiths.

And, this is also a preparation for the Nuggets in the future.

After inspecting the school again, Duan Yu returned to Yuncheng.

Outside this city, the fields are more than twice as large as before.

"Before the autumn harvest, I harvested 5,000 stones of grain and reclaimed 2,000 acres, which is quite good..."

When Duan Yu saw it, he couldn't help but nod.

"This is all the master's achievements. If there is no master's ruler, we wouldn't know that those struvites have such a fat field effect!" Guo Bairen said with a bow.

Over the past few days, he, the chief of the shogunate, has been exhausted and lost weight.

Duan Yu really came up with the idea of ​​using struvitae as fertilizer. First, people were looking for it on the island in Yunzhong. Then they sent a boat to collect it from nearby islands, and pulled it back in the fields. The effect was very good. After Duan Yu prepared, he took out a few recipes of soil and fertilizer and proceeded step by step, which would be beneficial to increase the fields and yield.

"In addition to grain, beans and vegetables are also a bumper harvest..." Guo Bairen had a hint of joy on his face.

"Soybeans? I have a way to make tofu and dried tofu, which can be considered as improving food!" Duan Yu knocked on his forehead.

If you were not the true soul of the soul, these subtle memories would not be easy to find from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness. Although the experience and technology of the past life brought by time travel are a great treasure, how to discover them is also a problem.

Fortunately, I was the lord here at this time, and I didn’t need to worry about anything I did. I just ordered someone to do it.

In the past few months, he took Guo Bairen, Jiugui Qing Bingwei, and Amano Fist Warrior several times to Izumo Kingdom to buy slaves.

After being proficient for the first time, the subordinates can only follow the process and leave them to these people to lead the way. However, at this time, you should pay attention to dispersed transportation and be careful not to provoke big monsters.

Although I encountered pirates and monsters several times, I had extraordinary people to suppress the formation and the loss was not big.

As for now, a total of three thousand slaves have been bribed, among which the nobles, priests and warriors have been identified one by one, and they have worked all day long in the quarry. Those who refuse to participate in the labor will be hung directly at the entrance of the camp as a warning and intimidation.

In autumn, Duan Yu personally presided over an autumn festival to celebrate the harvest.

According to secret observation, the original thousand people from Yunzhong Island were really at ease, and the situation of other serfs was generally stable.

At this point, Duan Yu, the Yunzhongjun, led Yunzhong Island, with 4,000 acres of land and 5,000 people. The luck he contributed was roughly at the level of the eighth grade, which made his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds.

What followed was also very terrible problems and pressure.

In Yunzhong Mansion.

Duan Yu sat upright, Qin Feiyu, Guo Bairen, Ye Zhiyu and other important officials were all there, listening to the chief clerk talking about the problem.

"...There is less than 6,000 stones of grain in stock today. Even if there are other side foods and fish, it is probably only enough for 5,000 people on the island to eat for half a year..."

The climate of Yunzhong Island is warm, and rice and wheat can be planted for two seasons. The rice harvests two stones and wheat is one stone, which is three stones. However, this is the yield of mature fields. Although struvite is used as fertilizer, there is no need to fallow for the time being, the yield of other raw lands is very short of money. Only 5,000 stones of grain was harvested this year.

"Not only that, in seven days, Lord Amano Fist Guard will come back. It is expected to purchase 500 slaves. In half a month, the Nine Ghosts Qing Guard will have another 500... and the silver deposit in the warehouse is less than 10,000 taels..."

Yang Weiping almost cried every word: "Please wait for the purchase of slaves and instead buy food!"

Listening to the comments of the subordinates below, Duan Yu smiled bitterly.

This kind of large investment in infrastructure is indeed a bottomless pit.

When he was in Linyungang, he still had a net worth of more than 100,000 taels of silver. He would have consumed it in less than two years of developing this island.

"Since that's the case, how are flying fish and soldiers practicing?"

Duan Yu looked at Qin Feiyu.

"The Yunzhongwei has two hundred people, and the daily training is constantly carried out, and the Five Poisons elite soldiers have been promoted!"

Qin Feiyu said in a deep voice: "It can be used by the Lord at any time!"

Yun Zhongwei originally organized one hundred pieces, but later Duan Yu added another hundred pieces, which was already the local limit.

"Then select 300 more people from the new three thousand serfs, and take the ones with families first, and promote them immediately to civilians, give them houses, and allow them to be given to land in three years, and the shogunate without wives will marry them."

Duan Yu waved his hand.

"Master..." Yang Weiping widened his eyes when he heard this: "It costs a lot of training... We have insufficient food..."

"Can't you still support it for half a year?"

Duan Yu smiled indifferently, but Guo Bairen, Qin Feiyu and other confidants immediately understood that when the new army was trained, it would be time to mine gold.

...

Seven days later, no ships arrived at the port.

The three large ships led by Amano Fist Guard did not even see their shadows.

‘Maybe the itinerary is wrong…’

During the voyage at this time, it was normal to make a mistake of one or two days, and the shogunate did not think much about it.

But three days later, Guo Bairen's face turned pale, and he guessed that something was wrong.

‘I’m afraid I’m encountering a shipwreck, but it’s not an ordinary shipwreck, but annihilated!’

Duan Yu divided into large ships into small teams, and each ship was suppressed by elites. Ordinary pirates and monsters were powerless.

‘Is it a big storm, a big pirate, or...whether the demon Kun is...?’

Qin Feiyu, who was in charge of recruiting soldiers, thought to himself.

Most of the slaves purchased were young and strong men and women, and the proportion of men was large. In his opinion, if the request was lowered, recruiting five or six hundred people would not be a problem, and it was also very surprisingly obedient.

Especially after agreeing to remove the identity of serfs, give them houses, divide the land three years later, and marry those who have no wives, these serfs are very enthusiastic about joining the army.

Five days later.

Qin Feiyu looked at the serfs running out of breath on the school ground and nodded silently: "Is this the last batch? The three hundred soldiers are full. Next is the training..."

At this moment, he saw a messenger running into the camp: "Master, please go to Yunzhong Mansion!"

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Qin Feiyu asked casually, but he didn't think about any answer.

But the messenger actually knew: "It's the port! Lord Jiugui's three ships returned safely!"

"oh?!"

Qin Feiyu's eyes lit up, and he rushed to Yunzhong Mansion.

When they arrived at the hall, they found that Guo Bairen and others were all there, and there were two people kneeling in the middle, one was the Jiugui Qing Bingguard, and the other was the Amano Fist Bingguard.

"I am incompetent in the Lord's Palace, and I have caused three large wings to sink. All five hundred slaves are sunk. Please allow me to cut off my stomach!"

Amano's fist warrior was thin and his eyes were red, and he kowtowed heavily to ask for help.

"It's a helpless thing to encounter a shipwreck. It's not a war. How could I blame you?" Duan Yu, who was in the head, sighed: "But this accident, you always have to bear some responsibility, so you will be demoted to an ordinary personal soldier, and I will still be the guard!"

"Hey... Thank you for your kindness!"

The Amano Fist Warrior was about to cry and he kowtowed repeatedly.

"What happened?"

Qin Feiyu asked Ye Zhiyu next to him.

"After meeting a big monster, all three ships of Amano Fist Guard sank..." Ye Zhiyu replied in a low voice: "Fortunately, this Amano Fist Guard already has the five poisons and the physical condition is amazing, so he can live with a tree on the sea and wait for the rescue of the Nine Ghosts Qing Bing Guard!"

"So it's the King of Hell!" Qin Feiyu took a deep breath: "No wonder my brother said it was not a crime of war..."

It is also unimaginable to encounter a demon Kun and the ship capsizes.

And he lives here, and he is already well acquainted with the name of the King of Hell on the Sea.

"But... the demon Kun dares to overturn my ship and kill my crew. This kind of hatred is different from Dai Tian. Next time I go to sea myself, I will kill it and return!"

Looking at the dull atmosphere below, Duan Yu said coldly.

"What?"

"No!"

Suddenly, various sounds rang one after another.

Looking at the faces below, which were worried or afraid, Duan Yu took a deep breath.

A group in the rising period is most afraid of this momentum being interrupted. If the demon Kun is raging at this time, the ship dares to go out to sea and suppress their subordinates' enthusiasm, it will be the real disaster.

What's more, Yunzhong Island has also developed to a bottleneck today.

This is his own limited power.

Next, unless gold mines are mined, maritime trade is vigorously developed, and slaves are transported, the foundation of this island will be like this. What is the cultivation of the entire island and the division of people will become a joke.

And such a large-scale maritime transportation, the demon Kun is the biggest disaster!

Monsoon currents can be predicted, and when encountering storms, you can enter the port to hide urgently, but this monster likes to attack ships and is cruel and cannot be let go!

Without this harm, Yunzhong Island will not be able to develop in the end, and this is the biggest shackle.
