The moon swells and the river flows, and the Jinhai takes advantage of the moonlight to sail in the direction of Guanyin Beach.

Even if there are all kinds of lovesickness, in front of everyone, Liu Yue'er also restrains the swelling of the river in her heart. According to the rules, she is a concubine, and she shouldn't have shown up with Lin Lian, but Lin Lian asked her to go to Xisha Island together, how could she refuse?

Prison Island is likely to be abolished, and Yue Lengqiu will use the power in his hands to set up all kinds of obstacles to the development of the estuary, and Chongzhou needs more manpower. In addition to the people of the Xihe Society and the Sun family, people like Wu Yanqing, Wu Jiye and his son, Zhao Zuiguier and others also came to Chongzhou, and the old engineer Ge Fu also came to Jiangning with the unfinished "Commentary on the Craftsman's Scriptures".

It was not easy for Xihehui and the families of the Sun family, plus the generals of the Jiangdong Left Army and some of the families of Jiyun Wuwei, to move nearly 9,000 people to Chongzhou at one time.

In Jiangning, Ge Cunxin, Lin Jingzhong, Zhao Hu, Ge Cunxin and others organized more than 300 boats. In addition to the more than 200 elite cavalry brought back to Jiangning by Sun Wenbing in advance, nearly 600 people from Jiyun Wuwei, Prison Island Wushu and Lin Jiayong were used together, led by Zhao Hu as a guard. Lin Jingzhong also accompanied him to Chongzhou, and it was not until Ge Cunxin led the soldiers to go upstream, that they were relieved, and the journey was quite smooth.

Invest a lot of silver, Guanyin Beach Wharf has been preliminarily built, two horizontal embankments, each side has an inclined embankment, in the front of Guanyin Beach to form a dock port about 200 steps wide, 300 steps deep.

The capacity of the dock port is limited, and there is simply not enough for more than 300 ships to berth at the same time. However, for most of the year, in order to irrigate, drain and transport materials to the island, Fu Qinghe organized people to dredge and excavate a natural shallow river to form a main canal across the central part of Xisha Island. After the canal was dug up, the boats from Guanyin Beach to Nantan were shortened to 18 li, and the distance to the waterway of Haiyu County, Pingjiang Prefecture, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, was shortened to less than 40 li.

The north mouth of the canal is on the inner side of the port of Guanyintan, usually the river is closed with a cable pontoon bridge, and the pontoon bridge is connected to the two strong and ramparted buildings that stand on the river bank, and the enclosure also directly forms the blockade defense of Guanyin beach.

At this time, the iron cable pontoon bridge was opened, and more than 300 boats sailed into the island from the mouth of the river to berth, and more than 300 ships were connected from head to tail, almost six or seven miles long before and after, and the Xisha Island side also made full preparations for resettlement, Fu Qinghe, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang and others were all on the island, and at this time, the torches planted along the embankment were also lit to guide the ships to the island. Lin Tie and the others waited on the Jinhai for two hours, and then they landed on the Guanyin Beach Dock Port.

The draft of the Jinhai is too deep to enter the canal, so it can only dock at the port.

When Lin tied them ashore, he also walked to the canal embankment to see the situation of organizing the landing and resettlement. The moonlight in the middle of the sky became brighter and brighter, shining on the canal, swaying and sparkling, and countless torches were reflected in the river, like red stars.

Xiaoman still has a child's heart, looking at the straight and wide river leading directly into the island, the moonlight and fire are shining, very beautiful, so he asked: "What is this river called?" This is the first river we saw in Chongzhou, but we should remember it well. ”

"It used to be a shallow river, and it didn't run through the whole island, and the name was very vulgar, and it was only a month since I dug it, and I haven't thought of a new name yet......" Lin Lian said.

"Why don't you call it Yue'er River?" Xiao Man said, "This can be printed with Sister Yue'er's name." ”

"What kind of tongue are you stirring up...... Liu Yue'er pulled Xiaoman's shirt and didn't let him talk nonsense.

"Why don't you call it Xiaomanhe?" Lin Jian smiled, "Nankouzi doesn't have an official name yet, it's called Yue'er Beach!" ”

"How can you be so messy with place names?" Liu Yue'er blushed and complained in a low voice that Lin Lian was joking with her and Xiaoman.

"Why not?" Fu Qinghe smiled beside him, "Then it's settled!" ”

Xisha Island is a new place, and all the places on the island have no names, or they are very vulgar names, which is very inconvenient. When making maps, many places are just code names, which is not good for memorization.

Even the name of Xisha Island is also quite cheesy, just because there is a slightly smaller river island named "Dongsha" in the east of the river, and it is named "Xisha", Fu Qinghe and others have long had the idea of changing their names in their hearts, but these are small things, and they are not in a hurry to bring it up.

In front of Fu Qinghe, Liu Yue'er was quite restrained, blushing, wanting to say "no", but she didn't know how to refuse, seeing that Lin Lian was also full of interest, she didn't want to ruin their interest. Xiaoman thought that there was a river named after him, so he was naturally very excited.

Seeing her like this, Lin Jian jokingly said to Fu Qinghe: "The river at the west end of the island has been dug up, and it is called the Daman River, one big and one small are also compatible......

"Don't, the name Damanhe is ugly." Xiao Man immediately protested.

Xisha Island sent enough people to settle Jiang Ninglai, and Lin Jingzhong, Sun Wenbing, Zhao Hu, Ge Cunxin and others were able to rest for the time being and come to visit Lin Bin.

Zhao Hu's family will continue to stay in Jiangning, and Lin Jingzhong will also stay in Jiangning, but Lin Jingzhong's parents and younger sister also moved to Chongzhou this time and came over to meet each other.

"Is Jingzhong's marriage to Wen Pei just here?" Lin Tie hugged Jingzhong's parents and didn't let them salute, and cared about Lin Jingzhong's marriage to Sun Jingtang's daughter Sun Wenpei, "In this way, whether it is to let Wen Pei stay in Chongzhou to take care of your two elders, or let Wen Pei go to Jiangning to take care of Jingzhong, it is more convenient!" ”

"Everything depends on the adults!" In the scene, his father was honest, and Sun Jingtang decided the matter.

Although there is still more than half a month before the agreed wedding date, Lin Jingzhong can't make a special trip to Chongzhou after half a month. Everything must be subject to power, and personal marriage must be subordinated to the overall situation.

"Then wait for two days, wait for Zhou Pu and them to return to Chongzhou, this is a great joy for the Lin family, and it is also the great Xihe of the Sun family of the Xihe Society, and we can't let more than a thousand children of the Xihe Society not be able to eat happy wine on the road!" Lin Jian said with a smile, and saw Sun Jingtang's concubine Zhao standing behind, and said to her, "Aunt Zhao is the hardest this time, Lin Jian has saluted you!" ”

"Don't dare to be, my lord, this is killing the concubine." Aunt Zhao hurriedly returned the gift.

When the Changyi mutiny, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenyao and other leaders of the Xihe Society were all in prison, Sun Wenbing and Sun Wenwan galloped to Jinhai to rescue, and it was actually Sun Jingtang, the concubine Aunt Zhao, who presided over the affairs of the Xihe Society in Jiangning.

Although Aunt Zhao married Sun Jingtang as a concubine and had no children, her status in the Xihe Society was even higher than that of Sun Jingtang's wife, who did not step out of the door and did not go out of the second door. As the Yuncao River Gang, the Xihe Club is destined to need a capable and authoritative woman to be in charge of the rear.

Sun Wenbing also rushed back to Jiangning after suppressing the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army, which was also after the early April, before that, there were more than 6,000 family members of the Xihe Society who stayed in Jiangning, and in fact, before Sun Wenbing rushed back to Jiangning, all of them were transferred to Hekou for temporary resettlement. In addition to the Tian Zhai, other goods that could be carried with them were also transferred, and hundreds of private ships under the name of the Sun family were also transferred to the name of Jiyun Society before Yue Lengqiu sent someone to seize them, which can be said to be the greatest credit for Aunt Zhao.

Lin Jian also sighed in his heart that there may not be many literate people in the Xihe Society, but traveling from south to north has made many of them actually experience, vision and knowledge, which are not compared to ordinary closed villagers.

Whether it is Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenyao, Sun Wenbing, Sun Wenwan, or Aunt Zhao in front of him, as well as many leaders of the Xihe Society, they are all very capable people.

Of course, there are pros and cons, and there are many Xihe Clubs that are less contaminated with the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, and they are more sleek and secular than the simple villagers. Lin Jian tended to recruit only the simplest congregations at the lowest level to join the Jiangdong Left Army for the time being, and the relatively sleek and secular leaders were temporarily incorporated into the Jiyun Society's merchant fleet, and if they could be gradually transformed, it would not be too late to use them at the local grassroots level.

Lin Jian saw Ge Fu and Zhao Drunken Ghost, as well as Wu Yanqing and Wu Jiye walking over here with craftsmen and medical apprentices, went down the river embankment, picked them up, and said, "The old engineer and Mr. Wu can come over, it's really unexpected!" ”

"Prison Island is going to be withdrawn, and the medicine garden can't be saved," Wu Yanqing said with a smile, "I'm here, but I'm looking for you to turn a bigger piece of land into a medicine garden!" ”

The news that Xiao Xuanchou had asked for the reopening of the prison city at the mouth of the Chongzhou River had already spread in Jiangning, and even the eldest grandson Geng also wrote a letter to inquire about staying there, and it was also very clear that he hoped to be transferred to Chongzhou after the prison island was withdrawn.

Ge Fu, the old worker, said: "I am used to living next to Yanqing," and asked in a suppressed voice, "Is there a place where I need to use my old bones to build a new city in Chongzhou?" ”

Ge Fu is a master of craftsmanship, he doesn't know a word, lacquer pottery painting kiln, all of them are all connected, but he is the best at building, building roads, bridges, palaces, pavilions and courtyards countless times in his life, but he is limited by the times, and has not had the opportunity to build a city. The destruction of Chongzhou City, it is inevitable to build a new city, no wonder he abandoned his family and children and rushed to Chongzhou, just hoping to seize the opportunity to preside over the construction of Chongzhou New City.

"Then the old engineer and Mr. Wu will live with me on the north shore!" Lin Jian said.

This was the second day after the Jiangdong Left Army landed in Chongzhou, and in order to delay some time, Lin Lian's submission to the county secretary was not sent out until this afternoon, and the submission to the military department, the envoy, and the governor's office to impeach the water camp in Ninghai Town for avoiding the enemy and avoiding battle was not sent until nightfall. However, I think that Yue Lengqiu should already know what happened in Chongzhou yesterday, but the county department's opinions on the handling of Chongzhou's affairs will not be fed back to Chongzhou until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

Lin Jian is to fight for these two or three days to determine the overall situation of Chongzhou County.

Ge Fu and Wu Yanqing were both old, and Lin Jian first arranged for them to rest in the walled building. In addition to the enclosed buildings in Guanyintan, there are also 50 or 60 large enclosed houses mainly along the canal and tributaries radiating to the island, and 12 large enclosed houses are also urgently vacated here to temporarily accommodate people from Jiangning.

Based on the fact that each enclosed house can accommodate 80 to 100 households, it is actually necessary to build 20 to 30 enclosed houses on the island.

With 9,000 people moving from Jiangning this time, plus the Xihe congregation that is about to converge, the number of people living in Dingkou at Guanyintan will reach more than 34,000.

He called Lin Mengde, Cao Ziang, Hu Zhiyong, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenbing, Lin Jingzhong, Zhao Hu, Ge Cunxin, Ge Cunxiong and others to his side, and said: "The affairs of defense will be discussed in the next few days, and we will ignore them for the time being. The civil affairs on the island, I want to grieve Sun Huishou, for the time being, it is still Zhiyong who is familiar with the situation on the island, and first solve the resettlement matter, and don't relax the matter of planting mulberry cotton......"

Lin Jian made the decision to consider the arrangements for the Sun family these days: "...... Jingzhong wants to go back to Jiangning, Zhao Hu will also go back first, always wait for the matter of Prison Island to be decided, and then deal with it, from Jiangning to Chongzhou Yangzijiang River shipping and supervise the shipbuilding of Longjiang Shipyard, I want Wen Bing to be responsible, Cunxiong to Chongzhou, this side to formally form a water battalion, you can't lack a general. ”

“…… I asked Miss Sun to build a women's camp in Zilang Mountain, and I wanted to ask Aunt Zhao to help her. Lin Lian said, he didn't want Aunt Zhao, who had a woman's demeanor, to stay in the house honestly after arriving in Chongzhou, and Sun Wenwan was young after all, and Lin Lian couldn't put the burden of the women's camp on her shoulders. The fourth lady wants to stay in Jiangning for the time being, and Aunt Zhao is a more suitable candidate than Sun Wenwan, but limited to the relationship of identity, Sun Wenwan is still the main one, and Aunt Zhao assists her.

The Zhao family was a little hesitant, she showed up in the Xihe Society to preside over affairs, which was the special need of the Xihe Society, but the Xihe Society was now disbanded and integrated into the Jiangdong Left Army, and she was just Sun Jingtang's concubine. In the eyes of the world, she should keep her duty and stay in the house.

Sun Jingxuan said: "I also want to ask Aunt Zhao to help a group of Wanniang." ”

"Thank you for your trust." Aunt Zhao agreed.

"Wait for Wen Yao to recover from his injuries, and see if he can adapt to the sea route before dealing with it!" Lin Jian said that taking the sea route is far more complicated than taking the inland river, and the duplex sail is much more complex than the ordinary inland river sailboat, and it took Ge Cunxin and Ge Cunxiong a long time to adapt to commanding a fast sailing ship like the Dongyang, and it is difficult to say whether Sun Wenyao and the other Xihe congregants can adapt well to sea navigation. Longjiang Shipyard is subordinate to the Ministry of Industry of Jiangning and is not yet under the control of Yue Lengqiu.

After the victory in Yangxin, Lin Jian transported thousands of horses to Chongzhou, Weiyang, Jiangning and other wealthy places to sell, in exchange for silver, ordered a large number of ships from the Longjiang Shipyard, and had added a new 5,000-stone ship and four thousand-stone ships. The total load of the ships under construction is still about 20,000 stones. But to maintain such a water camp, Lin Jian also had to build a dock on Xisha Island that could build small and medium-sized ships and repair large sea vessels.

“…… Ziang and Uncle Mengde need helpers, and they have to grieve Mr. Jingtang and stay by my side first. Lin Jian said again, for the time being, arrange the ministry of the Sun family first......
