Exploration is a new word. Anyway, Yang Zhaolong saw it from Chen Mu's letter, so this word is very exciting when you hear it.

No matter how much he complains, Yang Zhaolong still needs to execute it after complaining. First, Chen Mu insisted that Xinming had a mine that could change the world, and he also had to send more people to Xinming Island. Yang Zhaolong's little arm could not beat his thighs; second, it was Yang Zhaolong's own reason.

In the Tusi family, only the eldest son can inherit the Tusi. Therefore, not only should one receive education from family education to the ruling areas, but one should also go to the Imperial College in Beijing to study education loyal to the empire. However, Yang Zhaolong, the second son, was different.

He also needs to learn a lot of knowledge, from how to lead the army to how to rule the people, but the most important thing he wants to learn is not leadership, but obedience.

Just be obedient.

In such a family, the second son usually has only two ways to go. Either learn from the Shui Xi'an brothers and fight with each other, and kill the eldest brother and the second brother, you can become the eldest brother, or listen to your brother honestly for the rest of your life, and fight wherever you point out, making the clan stronger.

Yang Zhaolong, who was unruly and free, found another way for himself, but in fact, he was the same way. He was nothing more than listening to his brother Yang Yinglong in the past, and now he listened to his brother-in-law Chen Mu.

Chen Mu's advice to him was to prepare 200 people for a year of food, travel around Xinming Island along the coast, and find a suitable place to live again. In the fleet that delivered letters to Chen Mu, twelve lucky ships loaded with water and grain, and two graduates from the Navy Martial Arts Hall accompanied the surveying and mapping maps for guidance. Everything was ready and you could get on the boat with your bag.

Even his worries were relieved by Yang Zhaolong. The fleet also had a civil servant named Li Hualong who was sent by the Nanyang Minister Gao Gong, who was a civil servant from the same Jinshi.

Chen Mu didn't expect that Li Hualong was transferred here. He just wrote a letter to Gao Gong to hope that the ministers of Nanyang could serve as the prefect of Nanyang. One of the county officials was selected to serve as Xinming and to govern the people on behalf of Yang Zhaolong. Perhaps Gao Gong thought the names of the two were suitable, so he transferred Li Hualong, who had been the magistrate of Sandao in Luzon for one year.

Yang Zhaolong changed his clothes and put on armor. The maid followed him left and right. The Miao military man carried the box and was surrounded by him and walked out of the house where the Nanyang Military Mansion issued the plaque "Yang Laiwan Guardian". He saw a man with a warrior waiting outside.

He was only in his early twenties, had a short beard on his mouth, a wide forehead, a fleshy cheek, a straight waist, a confident expression, black boots, a green official robe, and a black veil on his head, and was holding a book to look at the wonders that had never been seen in the distance.

Hearing a strange noise in his ears, he turned his head and saw Yang Zhaolong rushing out of the yamen, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. He instantly returned to normal, bowed his hand slightly, and said, "I am here to be the magistrate of Yang Laiwan for the time being."

"So young!"

Yang Zhaolong said to the maid beside him with a frivolous smile on his face. After laughing, he bowed to Li Hualong and said, "Although you are very young, don't worry, Yang Laiwan is easy to manage. Everyone is busy having a good meal. There is neither attacking our enemies nor a place to rob. It is not difficult to manage this place, so stay with peace of mind."

In his eyes, the seventh-rank magistrate is no different from ordinary people. In his hometown, the sixth-rank magistrate is just a tribute runner.

In other words, seeing that Li Hualong was young, he spoke a few words of comfort. In Yang Zhaolong's heart, he was already a polite and polite person.

He did not know that twenty-two years later in another time and space, his brother led the rebellion and killing of Bozhou. The young man in front of him had served as the governor of Liaodong and the Minister of War. He was appointed by the court as the governor of Sichuan by the three provinces, and removed the Yang family of Bozhou in one fell swoop.

In front of him, Li Hualong gave in without any flattery and bowed: "When he is working in Nanyang, he will do his best to do his best in his duties. I hope the commander can take some time to understand Yang Lai's confidential affairs."

Li Hualong had no other meaning, just looking at the brother-in-law of the Eastern Minister, who looked like he took his concubine out for an outing, he felt that it was unreliable.

Coincidentally, Yang Zhaolong also thought that Li Hualong was too young and unreliable.

"It's okay. The voyage is 20,000 to 30,000 miles, and the surveying and mapping maps to explore the coastal terrain, which can be as short as half a year or as long as one year. Yang must explain it to you clearly. The road to the port is very long. I will send it to me and say as I walk."

Li Hualong raised his eyes and looked at the port two miles away. Before he could say anything, he saw Yang Zhaolong suddenly say something to his maid. The maid walked back to the Weiya, and then he said, "Give you a map of Yanglaiwan today. It is as far east as 87 miles. There are mountains. I tried to climb over it, but I didn't climb up, and I was too lazy to go around. You can climb up and take a look."

"There are more than 200 miles southwest, and more than 4,000 people live along the coast. Some fishing, logging, and growing vegetables and grains. However, the soil is not good. Although it is red, the red soil is only a shovel thick, and the stones at the bottom are nearly meter thick. However, it is easy to dig wells here, and you can get water by digging seven or eight feet."

"So it's difficult to grow food here. There is not much land that can grow food, but it's suitable for growing grass. You can build pastures, raise cattle, sheep, and horses."

As he was speaking, the maid had taken out the map. It was actually just a piece of paper, not as big as a painting. She was drawing a 't'-shaped area, marking the settlement of Duzhang people on the coastline and the protruding terrain extending south. Yang Zhaolong said: "That's where I walked. I walked four hundred miles south. It was very beautiful to pass a small grassland. Although it looked very large, it was all red soil, but the farther place was actually the desert, the red soil desert. Haven't you seen it? You have to go and take a look."

Li Hualong held the map and listened to Yang Zhaolong talking about his 'deeds'. The more he heard, his brows became more and more powerful. Finally, he couldn't help asking: "Didn't Chen Shuai ask you to find the land and search for mines? Yang Laiwan didn't seem to have done this?"

"You'll understand after staying here for two years."

Yang Zhaolong was not as angry as his brother. At first, there was a smile on his face, but then his smile disappeared. He opened his arms and seemed to surround the world, saying, "This is a barren land. It is more barren than any land in the country. The natives don't even wear clothes and can't do anything. The livestock are extremely stupid. Have you ever seen a person who dares to attack the military formation alone? Have you ever seen a beast dare to attack the military formation? This big rabbit dares."

"Sometimes, the natives brought me a stone sculpture of the birthday star from Yongle Nian. Either merchants or Sanbaogong came and left. My brother-in-law said that there was an iron ore, which was too illusory. Now it has become an exile. It is not all in charge of the rebels and bandits from Guangdong and Guangxi. I have to take care of their food and drink when I send them here. I have to try my best to fill their stomachs. I can explore the iron ore...you come."

As they said that, the two had already walked to the port. Yang Zhaolong looked at the fleet docked on the shore, turned around and smiled at Li Hualong, and said, "I'm going to take the fleet around the island!"
