First of all, thank the leader of the book hwblm for his big reward, and then ask for collection and recommendation as usual

"Yizhou? My father knew that place, a place full of plagues, and the people sent by Sun Quan died of illness nine times out of ten, and the people sent by the Sui Dynasty could not gain a foothold. Chen Huaiqing just shook his head again and again, "If the clansmen are placed in Yizhou, I am afraid that they will die of illness in a few years!" ”

Malaria, a common tropical infectious disease caused by mosquito bites. Cholera is also more common in the tropics. Although Chen Dexing has a certain amount of medical knowledge and knows what medicine to use to treat malaria and cholera, it is now the Song Dynasty, and there are not such good conditions, so he can only base himself on prevention and treatment.

Of course, the so-called epidemic barrier is not impossible to conquer, the current Hunan, Guangnan, Fujian and other roads, as well as the Dali Kingdom conquered by the Mongols, as well as the Jiaozhi Kingdom that split from China at the end of the Five Dynasties, and the Qiongzhou that is known as the end of the world, do not all have a large number of residents now? Among them, the climate in Qiongzhou and Jiaozhi may be hotter than Yizhou, which is more conducive to mosquito breeding, right?

In fact, the epidemic is related to the underdevelopment of land. When primeval forests are developed into cities and fertile fields, the number of mosquitoes and poisonous insects will be greatly reduced, and the number of diseases will be reduced accordingly. Otherwise, how could India, which is also at a low latitude and has a hot and humid climate, become no less densely populated than the Central Plains?

In addition, Chen also knows some tricks about how Westerners colonized and did business in malaria-endemic areas in the early years. First of all, don't go too far into the interior, but first establish a foothold by the sea in a cool climate and relatively livable place. Even in the tropics, the temperature on the seaside is low, and there are fewer poisonous insects, snakes and ants. As long as we pay attention to prevention and good personal hygiene, we can effectively prevent infectious diseases.

Secondly, don't be greedy for more and want to immigrate in large numbers in a short period of time. This was because the large concentration of the population would cause difficulties in epidemic prevention and food supply, and the latter would encourage the colony to expand too quickly into the interior to obtain enough land for agriculture, which would also facilitate the spread of the epidemic from the interior of the tropics to the colonies by the sea.

Third, the development of the colonies must not be counted as economic accounts, but only political accounts. Especially for the Southern Song Dynasty, which was short of money, it was impossible to spend much copper money on the development of the island of Taiwan. In order for Taiwan to generate certain tax benefits in the short term, it must be based on commerce and trade routes. If a Quanzhou-Tamsui-Ryukyu-Japan trade route can be opened, at least a small commercial port can be established in the Tamsui estuary area in the northeastern part of the island of Taiwan. With the commercial port, the population can be gathered, there can be a certain amount of financial income, and there is also the value of business development.

Chen Dexing very patiently told his biological father in detail about his vision of Taiwan. Finally, he said in a solemn tone: "Daddy, although the current trend is unfavorable to the Song Dynasty, it can still be supported for more than ten years." If I can make good use of the past ten years to really do something, maybe I can save a little more vitality in this catastrophe. In the eyes of children, running Yizhou is something worth spending more than ten or twenty years doing. If our Chen family can grasp the business of running Yizhou in our hands, maybe we can turn it into a foundation......"

A foundation...... The foundation of the Anfeng Chen family? Chen Huaiqing and Chen Defang glanced at each other, both a little hesitant. It is naturally better to be an official of the Great Song Dynasty than to be the lord of the city and the owner of the island on an overseas island. But it's hard to say how long this Great Song Jiangshan can last! If there is a real downfall, it would be better to retreat to the island, than to be a farmer in the country, right?

It's just that it's not easy to run Yizhou.

Chen Huaiqing shook his head: "Everything can't be done without money, run this Yizhou." How can you live without tens of thousands of copper? ”

Chen Dexing looked at his father: "Money is not a problem, the problem is reputation and dispatch, is there a way to send Yizhou to the eldest brother?" ”

Chen Huaiqing glared at him: "Big brother is going to take the right path of the imperial examination!" How can we go to the desert island and manage the city's shipping business? ”

Yizhou is a wild land, even if it is developed, it is impossible to establish a military county in the short term, and it is a small city in the sky. How can there be a reason for a good man who is famous outside the Donghua Gate to go to such a wild place to manage a market?

Chen Dexing hurriedly patted his forehead: "I almost forgot the ambition of the eldest brother, it is all Dexing confused...... If it is a city ship, it seems that it can't deal with the complicated situation in Yizhou, but is there a way to get a bigger name, such as the governor, the governor and the like? ”

"How?" Chen Huaiqing glared at Chen Dexing again, "Are you treating Yizhou as a fetter state?" It's not that you don't understand the rules of the court! ”

Chen Dexing frowned. Another trouble is in front of him, the Great Song Dynasty implemented a high degree of centralization, in Zhu Xi's words, that is, "the soldiers are also collected, the wealth is also collected, the rewards and punishments are collected, and the punishment and punishment are collected." It turned out that the Great Song Dynasty had to guard against not only the warriors, but also the local government controlled by civilian officials.

Therefore, the power at the local level is very small, and except for the pacification department and the system management department in the frontline areas, there is no yamen that can grasp the military, government and finance. And how can colonial expansion, especially in places where there is no foundation of Han civilization, be carried out without a very powerful institution of colonial affairs? It seems that this matter needs the full support of the suspicious and rash official......

Chen Dexing gritted his teeth: "Daddy, can you find an opportunity to make suggestions to the official family...... This Yizhou Island may be operated as a retreat? ”

At that moment, Chen Huaiqing's eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Dexing and said his own set of truths vigorously: "Ants are still greedy for life, let alone an official family who is rich in the world?" Mongolia is very powerful in the end, although there are our soldiers who forget to die, but the future is always unpredictable, if there is really a what...... Where should the official family go? Where should the officials of the court go? If there is no place out of reach of the Tartars for the officials and the imperial court to take refuge temporarily, how can the officials and the imperial court concentrate on directing the resistance of the military and civilians everywhere? Although this Yizhou is overseas, it is only more than 100 miles away from the coastal area of Fujian, and it is only 1,500 miles away from Lin'an by water. ”

Chen Huaiqing touched his beard and was silent for a long time before he nodded: "This matter is not in a hurry, let's talk about it when the Spring Festival is over." ”

This kind of thing can't be played on the table-! Before the Mongols came to the door, a group of loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty would never agree to operate a retreat. Because in their opinion, it is absolutely not feasible to operate in advance and retreat in advance. As for what to do after the Mongols came, it was something that the upright ministers couldn't even think about...... Therefore, Chen Huaiqing could only mention it when he talked about the art of war to the officials-for example, the truth of capturing thieves and capturing the king, this king should be placed out of the reach of the Mongols!

"Dexing, there are already a lot of scholars gathered in Lin'an these days, and there are often some gatherings." Chen Huaiqing changed his words, and no longer said anything about retreat, but mentioned the Shilin gathering, "There will be a poetry meeting in the Heavenly Kingdom Eunuch, and even Ding Xianggong will be present, why don't you go together, it's good to know more scholars." ”
