The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 478 This shameless person must have thought of it

Ding Yi had already arrived on Jeju Island when the Laiyang was banditted in mid-September.

He will go to Japan this time to meet Matsuura Takanobu, because Matsuura Takanobu has sent two letters to see him.

Now it is more convenient for them to go to Japan, and they can replenish and rest in Jeju Island.

His ship landed at the western port, Zhong Zhennu, Wei Jihai, Huang Bin, Tu Zheer, Pu Zhixuan, Zhang Meng, Chen Haisheng, Fang Yingxiang, Luo Caiyou and others were already waiting for him on the shore.

As soon as he landed, he saw an acquaintance who saw Ding Yi and kept shaking his head with an angry and helpless expression.

"Prefect Kou, long time no see." Ding Yi greeted him with a smile.

It was Kou Hua, the former prefect of Dengzhou who was robbed by him from Daming.

Not long after Kou Hua came here, he has always been reluctant to help Ding Yi, and Ding Yi did not force him, and asked him to plant a few acres of land for him. He and his family live here with peace of mind and nothing to do.

Being forced to come over to meet Ding Yi today, of course he is in a bad mood.

"Hmph." Kou Hua snorted coldly. The words "rogue officials and thieves" had already turned in his mind a few times, but he was too embarrassed to curse them out.

You say that Ding Yi is a traitor, but he immigrated to the sea, helped the refugees, and saved countless Ming people. Kou Hua has been in Jeju Island these days, seeing the people on the island from panic to living and working in peace and contentment, I have to admire it in my heart Ding Yi.

"Did you call the prefect Kou here? I've said it all, don't disturb him." Ding Yi said with a straight face at this moment: "Didn't you hear me?"

Everyone hasten to accompany it.

Kou Hua ignored him, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Not long after he arrived home, a small official ran over and said that there was a fight in Yitian County. The county magistrate Wei Jiye was accompanying Ding Yi and he had no time to deal with it. He asked if you have time.

"I'm not free." Of course Kou Hua refused.

The little official said that the person who was beaten was very miserable, his family was poor, he was a refugee who had just arrived, and his daughter was young, and now he hoped that he could report to the public to deal with it and get compensation. The poor daughter is going to starve to death.

Kou Huaqi stomped his feet and cursed: "Ding Yi, a shameless person, must have thought of it."

He scolded and scolded, and finally followed the little official to the county government.

After Ding Yi arrived, he rode without stopping and took everyone with him to see the construction of the port first.

On Zhong Zhennu's side, housing was first built to resettle immigrants, then the port, and then the shipyard.

According to Ding Yi's request, they will build two new ports and prepare two shipyards.

One is that the port is in the west, that is, the one where Ding Yi landed, and the second is in the east. The original northern port to North Korea remains unchanged. When the time comes, build more forts and keep them safe.

The western port is good for ships from Lushun and Daming, and the eastern port is good for going to Japan.

Both shipyards will be not far from nearby ports.

More than a year has passed, and about half of the ports on both sides have been completed. It will take at least a year to achieve Ding Yi's ideal.

"The port on the east side was originally big. Mongolia used to train its navy here. Now it is considered an expansion, and it will be completed in three months." Zhong Zhennu explained to him on horseback: "The port on the west side was too small to pass the big ships. It will take at least half a year."

"In the early stage, there were not enough manpower, but now it is considered a little manpower."

Ding Yi glanced casually, knowing that these things are not in a hurry: "Is the location of the shipyard good? Has it started construction?"

"The location of the two shipyards has been selected, and the construction on the west side is already underway. I just need to wait for you to name it, Mr. Ding. Bring me a map." Wei Jiye also made a sheepskin map here, which is very detailed. It took more than half a year. I found someone to travel all over the island to paint it.

All kinds of terrain on the island, everything on it, all kinds of farming and villages, are clearly marked.

The city walls, forts, and bunkers to be built later were also drawn in advance.

The map was huge, and the four of them pulled it apart, held it in front of Ding Yi, and showed it to him.

Ding Yi knew at a glance that Wei Jiye was paying attention.

Such a detailed map could not be found in the entire Ming Dynasty, or even in Europe.

They also have them in Dongjiang Town, and they are drawn by the brothers below who came out little by little.

Ding Yi looked at the location of the shipyard and was quite satisfied: "The west side is called Jeju Shipyard."

"..." Everyone.

"The east side is called 'Longjiang Shipyard'"

"..." Everyone.

After seeing the port and the shipyard, Ding Yi went straight to the horse breeding.

Because last year Tu Zheer raised more than 7000 war horses of the right age, and as a result, more than 1000 died in the middle of the journey and during transportation. Ding Yi came here to take a look. Such a loss.

The team followed Tu Zhe'er to the nearest horse farm. According to Tu Zhe'er on the way, he adopted the method of distributing horses to each household and delivering horses on time.

That is, he assigned the task of raising horses to each clan and household, and asked them to hand over as many horses as the time came.

Although the horses may die, the shepherds know that this will happen, and they usually raise more. For example, if they want to hand over a hundred horses, they will raise 120 or even 130 horses to ensure that they can complete the task after death.

Last year it was only [-] because there were only so few horses of age in Jeju Island before.

Soon Ding Yi came to a grassland. There was a stable on the right side of the grassland. Ding Yi was stunned when he saw the stable.

Tu Zheer introduced to him that stallions and fattening horses are raised separately, and they are only together when they are mated. In order to prevent inbreeding from affecting the quality, they will continue to improve, for example.

Mu Hu who are too far apart will exchange stallions.

It's like a stallion in Dengzhou, which is bred in Fuzhou.

The more distant the bloodline, the better the breed's chances of getting better.

The main food is soybeans and pastures. In order to cultivate excellent war horses, they all make soybean cakes from soybeans, soak them in water until soft, and mix them with other small beans.

Order each meal, and there should be no leftovers, otherwise the leftovers will deteriorate and it is easy to eat bad stomachs.

Tu Zhe'er said that she travels around every day to supervise and inspect the horse breeding situation of each household to ensure the quality.

The most important thing is epidemic prevention. Epidemic prevention is the top priority in the breeding industry. There is no vaccine in this era. Modern horse breeding will be vaccinated, but vaccinating horses is also to repel insects.

The ancients only knew about epidemic prevention, not about repelling insects, but they had this concept. Herders burned herbs and often smoked the stables with herbs to clean up the excrement in time.

Ding Yi called the doctors to ask, the herbs they used, and the rest were used to deworm. It's just that in this day and age, I don't know why they need to deworm.

According to Tu Zhe'er, they did a good job, but they still died a lot. Last year, there were nearly [-] horses who passed the test and those who failed.

Ding Yijue must have missed something.

When I came to the stables and watched the shepherds operate, this, this seems to be impossible.

Tu Zhe'er saw that Ding Yi's expression was not good, and was a little strange: "General Ding?" He asked carefully.
