"Is this Liaodong? It's so desolate!"

The captured Han soldiers took a boat for a long time, and finally came to what they thought was "Liaodong", but this "Liaodong" seemed to be a little bit different from the Liaodong they had heard about.

From a distance, it seems to be a big island, and there are no plains on the island, all mountains and dense forests, just like the undeveloped Yangzhou Shanyue area.

There is a small town on the coast, and there is a pier outside the city.

"I heard that Liaodong is a place of bitter cold. Why is the climate in 'Liaodong' so warm? It's not summer yet?" A Han army lieutenant was very puzzled.

"This is Sugarcane Town. You will be responsible for planting sugarcane here in the future. As long as you work hard, you will have the opportunity to obtain [-] acres of fertile land!" A son of the Wang family on the boat said to a group of Han soldiers.

"what?"

"Fifty acres?!"

"Am I dreaming?"

The soldiers of the Han army were shocked, and there was some commotion in the crowd, but they were quickly scolded by the soldiers of the Wang family wearing iron ghost masks.

These Han army prisoners of war were all captured when Wang Bian ambushed the Han army's Liangdao, about 2000 people.

When the prisoners of war of the Han army disembarked one after another under the supervision of the royal family's personal soldiers and security guards, two workers at the dock who were carrying sugar cane were looking up at the royal family's fleet on the sea.

"Old Wu, look, there are newcomers here." The former governor of Yuyang, Peng Chong, was wearing a blue cloth coat with his trouser legs rolled up, carrying bundles of sugar cane.

"If we come, we will come. Anyway, we are also destined to grow sugar cane." It was Wu Han, the former magistrate of Anle County, who was called Lao Wu by Peng Chong. He was also pretending to be carrying sugar cane at the moment.

Because digging volcanic ash is more industrious, the two quickly collected enough points to upgrade to the southern Ryukyu Islands to grow sugar cane.

As for the ordinary prisoners of war who cut sugar cane, they had already collected enough points to reclaim wasteland in the Central Ryukyu Islands, and each of them was allocated [-] acres of fertile land.

The two of them and senior military officers plant sugarcane on the island every year, and then cut down the sugarcane when the sugarcane is mature, bundle it into bundles and load it on the royal fleet, and then the royal fleet transports the sugarcane to Sugar City in the Central Ryukyu Islands , there is a sugar mill that specializes in sugarcane juice. They will use lime and other substances to precipitate and purify the sugarcane juice, then heat and evaporate the purified sugarcane juice, extract the sugar in the sugarcane juice like making tofu, remove the water, and then The extracted sucrose is dried to obtain red powdered sugar.

The reason why it is red is because the purification technology of the Wang family is a little more advanced than that of the Central Plains, and it cannot completely remove the impurities in the sucrose, so the purified sugar powder is also red.

The higher the purity of refining, the whiter the color of powdered sugar.

But even if it is just brown sugar, it is still a luxury in the Central Plains.

In this era, salt can be said to be a necessity of life, while sugar is a luxury exclusive to the powerful. The difference between them is like linen and silk.

"I don't know what happened to the Central Plains?" Peng Chong missed his hometown.

"Don't think about it so much, just work hard. If you collect enough points, you can claim [-] acres of fertile land to enjoy your old age. If you are lucky, you might be able to work as a sugar squeezer. Those days will be much more nourishing than ours now." Wu Han shook his head and continued to work hard to carry the sugar cane.

……

Busan City (Busan, South Korea/Jinhandu Luguo)
The last seven states of Mahan were wiped out in the past two years, and tens of thousands of immigrants from Qingzhou were relocated to the ruins of the seven states to build towns.

And now, the Wang family has opened up a new settlement at the mouth of the Burning Sun River (Nakdong River), and is planning to build more and more towns along the Burning Sun River.

And the Burning Sun River happened to be the dividing line between Chen Han and Mou Han.

To the east of the Hanyue River and to the west of the Burning Sun River is Mouhan, and to the east of the Burning Sun River is Chenhan.

The northern part of Mouhan is hilly, and the southern part is coastal plains. Except for the valley plain along the Zhuori River, the rest of Chenhan is hilly.

The alluvial plain formed by scorching Sun River is undoubtedly the best land for Chen Han and Mou Han, and it is also the first foothold of the Wang family.

Twenty thousand Qingzhou soldiers were transported away by the Wang family, but only more than 3000 were transported to Busan City to open up wasteland first, and the remaining more than 1 temporarily stayed on Luming Island, waiting for the Wang family's ships to return and continue to transport them.

All the strong and healthy soldiers in Qingzhou were transported away by the Wang family, while the old, weak, sick and disabled were all left in Xu Township, and they were rejected by the Wang family even if they wanted to board the ship.

"Didn't you say you were going to Liaodong? Where is this?"

An officer in the Qingzhou Army was very puzzled. He thought that he could go to Liaodong, where the people were rumored to live and work in peace and contentment, to enjoy his old age. As a result, this "Liaodong" was too far away, and it took nearly 20 days to arrive at sea.

"Is Liaodong so far away? Or am I remembering wrong?"

Another Qingzhou soldier officer was also very puzzled, he didn't know where he was.

In order to appease the Qingzhou soldiers, the children of the Wang family did not tell them their real destination. They did not explain to them until after they disembarked and were guarded by the Wang family security guards and hunting teams one by one, so that they could run away without worrying: " This is Busan, where you opened up wasteland!"

"what?"

"Where is Busan? I've never heard of it!"

"Open up wasteland? Do you want us to reclaim farmland here?"

"Shouldn't you guys organize us into the Liaodong Army, and then lead us to continue to conquer the world? Why did you bring us to Busan to open up wasteland?"

Snapped!
A member of the royal family cracked his whip and shouted at the Qingzhou soldiers: "Quiet!"

Although everyone is wearing armor, the armor of the Wang family's soldiers even protects their fingers and toes, and only a pair of eyes are exposed. The armor of their Qingzhou soldiers is a monkey-style light armor made by the Wang family deliberately cutting corners. It only protects the chest. There is no protection in all places, obviously not the same level.

A group of Qingzhou soldiers quieted down under the scolding of the Wang family's soldiers, and then listened strangely to Busan Cheng explaining to them various policies for opening up wasteland.

After hearing these land reclamation policies, the Qingzhou soldiers were all excited. Compared with fighting the world, it is more tempting to share fifty acres of fertile land to enjoy their old age. After all, fighting the world is easy to die.

……

Taohuagang

"Where are my soldiers? Where are my soldiers?!"

"You Wang family transported me here, but didn't transport my soldiers here. What do you mean?"

"Let go of me, I want to go back to Qingzhou!"

Zhang Bu, who fled to Taohuagang on a Wang family ship, was first shocked by the richness of Taohuagang, and then realized that he had been tricked.

Because none of his Qingzhou soldiers came to Liaodong, and he didn't know where they were transported by the Wang family.

He saw with his own eyes that his Qingzhou soldiers also boarded the boat, and after a nap, he was the only boat left on the sea, and the other ships transporting Qingzhou soldiers went to nowhere.

At first, the Wang family explained to him that there were too many people in those boats, so the speed was slower, and they were still following behind, so they couldn't see it.

But after more than ten days of enjoying Taohuagang, he found that none of his soldiers came to Taohuagang, which made him finally realize the fact that he was deceived by the Wang family.

"Ms. Zhang, I'm really sorry. Our Wang family wants to borrow your head!" Wang Jian, who had just returned to Taohuagang last night, couldn't wait to kill Zhang Bu and use Zhang Bu's head to curry favor with Liu Xiu. Get the qualification to join Liu Xiu's camp.

"You!" Zhang Bu turned pale with shock, he didn't expect the Wang family to kill him.

Ugh! ——

Without any nonsense, Wang Jian stabbed Zhang Bu's lower abdomen with a sword, and then had Zhang Bu's head cut off and put in a wooden box. He also ordered a member of the Wang family to go to Luoyang to meet Emperor Liu Xiu, expressing Liaodong's willingness. Surrender to the great Han, and dedicate the head of the traitor Zhang Bu to the imperial court, in order to express the utter loyalty of the Liaodong royal family to the imperial court!
