Chapter 1062 Returning to Changshan Island

Ten days later, Huangfu Chaobo once again boarded the building boat and sailed north. Along the way, he first stayed on Lingshan Island for a day, upgraded the two territories into small towns, and then continued north, heading straight to South Changshan Island. They didn't even enter Qingdao City.

By the time his fleet docked at Changshan Island Pier again, it was already July 20. At this time, the second round of farming this year had ended. During the period of June and July, the princes in the world were basically relatively quiet, especially in the Central Plains region, because as time went by, the food problem became a problem in everyone's mind.

Therefore, during this period of time, everyone was on standby, speeding up their own food harvest, while eyeing the other princes around them with eager eyes, for fear that someone would come to their territory and grab a handful, and at the same time, they also looked at the other princes around them. Can you find other people's loopholes? Can you go out and take advantage of them? In this way, everyone is working hard, but in the end no one dares to act rashly.

Changshan Island at this time was very different from when Huangfu Chaobo left a month ago. The pier had been completely built, and the navy camp had been completed, leaving only a large area between the navy camp and the pier. dock. There are dozens of ships parked on the south side of the pier, and a steady stream of supplies are being moved off the ships, and then sent to the dock for storage in a long row of warehouses built at the foot of the mountain. These things are all imported from Shuanghe. Moved out of the city.

On other boats, groups of people, old and young, helped people get off several medium-sized sand boats and building boats. After landing on the pier, an official led a group of soldiers and led them to an area for resettlement. Some of them will be resettled on the islands in the Changshan Island area, but most of them will be temporarily resettled here and then moved to Youzhou.

Huangfu Chaobo stood at the bow of the ship, quietly watching the people get off the ship. Originally Shi'a was going to send someone to the dock to make the fleet make room, but Huangfu Chaobo stopped him: "Because of my order. , I already feel guilty that they have to leave their homes, so let them get off the ship first, I am not in a hurry, it doesn’t matter if I wait.”

Shi A had no choice but to wait patiently, but he spoke openly: "Qingzhou was originally a small place with a large population. The lord moved it to Youzhou, but he divided the fields and gave each household rations of cattle and sheep. , it’s much better than them staying in Qingzhou.”

"But it is a fact that everyone has left their hometowns!" Huangfu Chaobo said;

While everyone was talking, Zhao Dian, who had received the news, had led several officials to the pier in a hurry. Seeing that Huangfu Chaobo's fleet was still queuing up behind, Zhao Dian climbed onto a small boat and headed towards the pier. Huangfu Chaobo's boat came galloping towards him.

The ladder was put down on the building boat, and Zhao Dian climbed up panting, saluted and said: "I pay homage to my lord!"

"Magistrate Zhao, please wake up!"

"Since my lord's fleet has arrived, why don't you get off the ship? I will arrange for someone to vacate the ship right away."

"No, let's wait until the boat in front has finished disembarking. There's no rush!" Huangfu Chaobo stopped him: "Just in time, Magistrate Zhao is here. I'll just listen to the construction status of the territory in the past month on the boat!"

As expected of a man who has been in officialdom for a long time, Zhao Dian listened to Huangfu Chaobo's questions and said no more. Instead, he stood respectfully beside him and reported in detail what he had done in the past month or so.

After receiving Huangfu Chaobo's order, Zhao Dian made arrangements for Shuanghe City and rushed to Changshan Island with the fleet. He then took over the overall arrangements for the entire archipelago. Now Changshan Island Town has been upgraded to the size of a large town. Only the last few buildings have not been upgraded. It will only take a few days to be upgraded to a small town.

As for the other territories, they have already been upgraded to large villages. All they have to do is wait for Huangfu Chaobo to arrive and upgrade them to town level.

Upgrading the main stronghold to the city level is a condition for the relocation of Shuanghe City's giant shipyard, because ordinary village-level territories cannot build high-end or higher buildings.

That's why Huangfu Chaobo hurriedly upgraded Changshan Island Town to a city.

As for the migration of the people, after more than a month of continuous transfers by the navy, most of the people in Shuanghe City have been basically transferred to Changshan Island, leaving only 20,000 people in Shuanghe City to help carry supplies. And the city guard, the island today can be said to be full of people.

At this time, Huangfu Chaobo realized how much he had taken his original migration order for granted. This was because he had the ability to use ships as a migration tool. Even if it was so difficult, how difficult was it for those who migrated by land. No wonder when Dong Zhuo moved the capital, there were many bones everywhere.

"How are the people doing?"

"Lord, don't worry. These people moved voluntarily. In addition, they have been recuperating in Shuanghe City for a period of time, so nothing happened along the way. Among the people who moved to the island, there were only more than a thousand people who took a boat for the first time. As for some minor ailments, doctors have been arranged for diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, according to Xiaguan, with this few days of shipbuilding, everyone will be more accustomed to the ship and will be more adaptable to the next move to Youzhou. Some."

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. He didn't expect this benefit, but think about it. Although these people are all in Qingzhou, not everyone is adaptable to taking a boat, so the few days it takes to cross the sea this time are just enough for everyone. Get used to it all.

While speaking, the people on several boats ahead had all disembarked, freeing up several boat spaces. Huangfu Chaobo's ship quickly approached the pier.

Hundreds of soldiers led the way and disembarked first. Then Huangfu Chaobo was able to leave the ship and come to the pier. The movement on the pier had already alarmed the people on the dock. Seeing Huangfu Chaobo getting off the boat under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, the people on the dock hurriedly knelt down and bowed respectfully.

Huangfu Chaobo got off the boat and did not stay at the dock for long. He came directly to the location of Changshan Island Town. At this time, Changshan Island Town had changed a lot. All kinds of buildings required for upgrading had been built. Only the outermost wall had not been completed. According to Zhao Dian, it only took two days for the wall to be upgraded to the city level.

According to the original plan, this city will also be built in the shape of a U-shaped city with inner and outer cities. Therefore, the city wall of the town was not built very large at this time. It was slightly larger than the wall of the village, only about two miles long and wide. This is why the wall was built so quickly. As for after it is upgraded to a city, the length of the city wall will be much longer, and it will completely enclose the southern area. Of course, the city wall at that time will not be as square as the cities on the mainland, but will be built along the coastline and mountains.
