Jiang Han was one of the officials who followed Fan Ning to Kunzhou last year. He was a Jinshi with Fan Ning and was the son-in-law of Grand Secretary Gao Song. He was transferred to a Beijing official last year and was recommended by his father-in-law to participate in the trip to Kunzhou. Today he has been officially appointed as the magistrate of Tang County. Before that, he was the magistrate of Tang County, and Fan Ning temporarily served as the magistrate of Tang County.

Jiang Han hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Reported to the censor, Bei Zhi received complaints from the people, and someone was digging a hole to prepare for fertilizer, so Bei Zhi came to check it out."

Although Fan Ning was already the deputy envoy of the Strategic Affairs Office and the governor of Kunzhou, everyone was still used to calling him the Censor. His Censor's Supervisor was not removed and was still retained. It was understandable to call him Fan Jingshi.

Fanning asked, "Have you told you that you are not allowed to ferment fertilizer?"

"I have said it again and again, and I have also sent a residence booklet to each family. Everyone knows that it cannot be fertilized."

At this time, the old man who was digging the pit protested loudly: "I'm not fertilizing, I'm digging a toilet. There is no toilet. Where can I pull the shit when it is swollen?"

Fanning's attitude towards 600 immigrants was very obvious. He should take care of them, but he should not accommodate them without a bottom line. Everyone must abide by the set rules.

He slowly walked up and asked with a smile: "Who is from the surname of your father?"

The old man didn't know Fan Ning. He was a little bit bullying Fan Ning, so he snorted: "My surname is Zhang, from Anyang, Hebei. I want to know why I can't repair a toilet in my own yard?"

Fanning pointed to the surrounding houses and said, "The houses are very close. My father-in-law wants to build a toilet. Have you considered the feelings of the surrounding neighbors? Besides, there are people who specialize in the city who pull the manure trucks once a day, no money is charged, and they dump toilets for everyone for free. In addition, there are public toilets on the streets. The city has already considered it very well, so why do you still have to dig toilets at your own home?"

"There are also toilets in the brothel in front. Why can't I have them?"

Fan Ning still patiently explained: "It is stipulated that only places where people gather in government offices, restaurants, brothels, teahouses, etc. can be built. In addition, no private construction is allowed, and even shops are no exception. Violators must not only demolish and fill, but also severe punishment. The main reason is that the county town is too small, and mosquitoes and flies will breed in summer and the smell is not good. I hope everyone can think more about the public's interests and not just think about their own convenience."

People around him accused the old man of being selfish. At this time, a young man ran out of the house, like the old man's son. He pulled the old man and complained: "I told you not to dig, you insist on digging. Now even the government has been aroused. What should I do in the future?"

The old man was also a little guilty. After all, this was not the Song Dynasty, but an isolated island overseas. He could not even be a refugee if he offended the government. He did not dare to talk back to Fan Ning anymore, so he had to mutter in a low voice: "It's better to live in the countryside. Living in the city is too restrictive and not used to it at all!"

Fan Ning smiled and said, "I think Jiang Zhixian has told you that he is just temporarily living. When everyone stabilizes, there will be a chance to choose in a few days. The court promises to give each household two hectares of land. Kunzhou will also give each household a piece of residential land free of charge. Living in the city is one acre, and living outside the city is two acres. Everyone can choose for themselves. The father-in-law thinks he is not used to living in the city, and he can also live in a village."

The magistrate Jiang Han did tell everyone, but many people were excited and did not notice this regulation. Everyone immediately discussed it, and someone asked, "Master, where is the countryside?"

Fan Ning pointed to the south and smiled, "About ten miles south of the county town, there is a freshwater lake called Nanhu. Nanhu is very large, with at least hundreds of hectares. The land we allocated to our family is on the north shore of Nanhu Lake, and the village will also be distributed along the lake. We tentatively set a village for fifty families."

“Is there a road there?”

"A road has been built, and everyone can go and see it tomorrow or the next."

Everyone was talking about it, and Fan Ning said to Jiang Han: "I don't see that many people don't know it. You can promote it to everyone!"

"Abide by the orders!"

Fan Ning inspected again and saw that the people had settled down and many families started cooking. He then went to the military camp. Di Qing sent someone to find him just now, hoping that he would go to the military camp if he had time. He could have lunch when he went to the military camp now.

The military camp is no longer in the city, but outside the northern city. It is the wall-shaped military camp that was built in the past. It has been reorganized and thousands of wooden houses have been built. The tents are no longer used. Hundreds of large tents have been given to the labor camp. It is too cold to survive in winter.

Fan Ning came to the military camp, and was having lunch in the military camp. He found Di Qing and also had a lunch.

After lunch, Di Qing took a sip of hot tea and said to him: "I plan to go out to inspect the sea, go to Danzhou and Liuqiu Mansion, and then go back to Beijing to report on my work. I'm afraid this trip will not be back next year, so I'll leave it to you."

Fanning nodded and asked, "Who will be here to command the troops after Coach Di left?"

"I just want to ask what you mean, what do you think?"

Di Qing did not seek Fan Ning's opinions out of politeness. Fan Ning has now been named Deputy Envoy of Overseas Administration and is preparing to establish the Jingzhou Army. He has actually been involved in military power and is also the second largest figure in the army. Di Qing must seek his opinions.

Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "Then keep Xu Yan!"

Xu Yan was Di Qing's old subordinate and was upright. Although Lin Rui was the deputy general, since he killed Qin Wu, the relationship between Lin Rui and Di Qing and Fan Ning had a crack. He himself did not want to stay in Kunzhou. He asked for transfer several times. Di Qing was also preparing to recommend him to work in the capital, which was regarded as a recognition of his achievements in attacking Danzhou and destroying Nagasaki's naval army.

Di Qing laughed, "Xu Yan is good, Governor Fan has a good vision."

Di Qing said again: "This time I plan to take two thousand troops away, mainly because Liuqiu Mansion needs to garrison troops. Kunzhou and Jingzhou will leave 4,000 troops, which should be enough!"

"Enough!"

At this time, Fan Ning remembered something again and hurriedly said, "Does Shuai still remember what I said about Liu Qiu Island?"

Di Qing heard Fan Ning talk about it that when Emperor Yang of Sui ordered Zhu Kuan, the Yuqiwei, to go out to sea to visit foreign customs, he discovered that there was a series of small islands between the southern part of Japan and Liuqiu Island, which was quite wide in area. Although it could not be compared with Liuqiu Island, the largest island was twice as big as Danluo Island. It is said that Song Dynasty fishermen lived on the island in the early years of the Song Dynasty.

Di Qing nodded and smiled, "If you don't remind me, I remember, this time I plan to go and see. If the conditions on the island are good, I plan to station a battalion of soldiers, and then return to Beijing to report to the emperor and make it the fifth state of my Song Dynasty overseas."

Fan Ning said happily: "I have this intention, and in the future, recruiting Fuzhou fishermen to live on the island and then building a harbor, it can become a place for trade transfer."

Di Qing pondered for a moment and said, "There is one more thing I want to remind you too!"

"Di Qing, please say!"

"Today I heard some news that many important officials in the court opposed opening Xinjiang overseas. The biggest reason was that they were exhausted and the people were in trouble. The court provided us with supplies several times a year, which consumed a lot of supplies. So I suggest that we try to be self-sufficient and increase the burden on the court less."

As Fan Ning expected, Di Qing's words also knew who fanned the fire in the court. Zhao Zongshi served as overseas strategic commander for one year and obtained significant political benefits. It can be said that opening Xinjiang overseas has become Zhao Zongshi's political foundation.

How could Zhang Yaozuo and his party be willing to smear the overseas expansion of Xinjiang, destroy Zhao Zongshi's political cornerstone, and criticize the overseas expansion of Xinjiang to waste people and money. It is completely understandable.

Fan Ning said coldly: "We must not only be self-sufficient, but also create wealth. We have accumulated more than 6,000 amber wood. I am going to send a ship back to the capital. This is a reward for the court's support for us. In addition, Kunzhou and Jingzhou are both volcanic islands, so there are many gold and silver mines. The next step of mining and refining gold and silver is also in my plan. When I transport ships of gold and silver ingots back to the capital, I will see who will say that we are exhausting the people and hurting the money?"

Di Qing smiled and said, "Gold, silver and wood are the second priority. The key is war horses. Raising war horses is our real purpose in seizing Kunzhou. Tomorrow I will accompany Pang Zhongguan to inspect the northern horse farm. When I come back, I will set off south. In the future, I will ask you many troubles in Kunzhou."

Fan Ning nodded silently, and he suddenly asked, "Di Shuai went to the south to inspect the emperor, is it the emperor's intention?"

Di Qing smiled bitterly, "Since the emperor asked me to control the military of overseas states, how could I just stay in Kunzhou? Liuqiu Mansion has been in development for four years, and I haven't been there once, so it's unreasonable!"
