This is really not a trivial matter. It’s all about to establish a country overseas.

Han Yi rushed to Yuanjiabao. The meeting hall was full of people. Everyone's expressions were surprisingly consistent, but they were all at a loss.

The most difficult thing about the plan to advance south was to sell slaves, because everyone was a merchant. If it was just a businessman, it would be too expensive and slow, and the Yuan family would be difficult to afford. The easiest point was to rob. However, it was not easy for the Yuan family to have many people to protect their caravans. If it was to rise to the level of war, it would be much worse.

This question has been unresolved, and Han Yi did not say when to take action.

But I didn't expect to occupy most of the islands like this.

This really caught Han Yi off guard.

Yuan Xi was mixed with joy and sorrow. First, he agreed to do this. Second, this came too fast and he didn't know what to do. So he asked Yuan Zhe to call Han Yi.

Han Yi first bowed to Yuan Xi and the others, then sat next to Yuan Mudan, held her hand, and said with concern: "Madam, you are pregnant now, you should have a good rest in the house. Just leave it here to us."

Yuan Mudan was stunned. There were so many people and such a big thing, but Han Yi's first sentence was to care about her body, which made her feel both moved and embarrassed.

Yuan He, Yuan Qi and the others also looked at each other.

Yuan Le said happily: "Son-in-law, don't worry. There are so many people in Yuanjiabao. If you can't take good care of Peony, then we will have no face to see you, but you have to come and see Peony more."

Han Yi hurriedly said: "My second uncle taught me a lesson."

Yuan Xi said, "Second brother, Han Yi is the prime minister of the current dynasty, so of course he has to put official affairs first. How could he care about his children's love every day? Now the court is not very peaceful."

Yuan Mudan also said: "Uncle said so."

Yuan Le heezes: "Myon, you are really good. My second uncle is talking to you, but you are looking at your uncle."

Han Yi hurriedly said, "Second uncle, I'm facing you."

Yuanle was also very happy to laugh.

Yuan He coughed lightly and said very seriously: "This matter will be discussed later. The important thing is important!" He is a very old-fashioned person, completely opposite to Yuan Le. Yuan Le admires Han Yi's ultimate affection and nature very much, but Yuan He doesn't like Han Yi's tone very much. There are so many old men sitting here, and you can show your love when you come here. Is it necessary?

Yuanxi nodded with a smile, but the atmosphere became much more relaxed, so she handed Yuanjie's letter to Han Yi.

Han Yi took it, opened it and looked at it.

If ordinary people were to brag about this, they would definitely boast about themselves to death. After all, there were 3,000 elite soldiers under their command. However, the Yuan family, no matter their personality, was very pragmatic. Especially in terms of business, no one was the habit of taking credit. It was a matter of duty to do the tasks arranged by the family.

Yuan Jie's letter was aggrieved, confused, innocent, and had no intention of seeking credit.

It turned out that Yuan Jie and Yuan Fei were just in the past to contact slave trade. Because there was already a shortage of people in the south, they only brought about one hundred bodyguards.

During the contact process, there was a conflict with the local natives because of a small matter. Yuan Jie and the others did not dare to fight at first. After all, they were next to the other person's land, but they had no choice but to stand on their heads. However, those natives would be defeated as soon as they fought, and their combat power was not of the same level at all.

You should know that the bodyguards of the Yuan family were all trained by Yuan Jiu, the pervert. Of course, Yuan Jiu did not want to train them on purpose. However, when he was young, he often took some younger brothers out to be majestic and traveled around the world. However, after this group of people was disliked by Yuan Jiu, they stepped down to help the Yuan family train bodyguards. The combat power was very fierce and the weapons were the best, which was better than most of the imperial guards, because they did not have many people, and they wanted to protect their property. Of course, the weapons were best equipped. Most of the natives were made of wooden sticks and were not martial. They were defeated in a few strokes.

Yuan Jie and Yuan Fei had never fought a war. At first, they just thought it was a conflict, so they were not mentally prepared. Since they won, they would continue to fight. Anyway, they offended them. As a result, they suddenly found that they had two or three thousand elite soldiers under their command, tens of thousands of prisoners, and occupied a lot of places.

The two of them are just businessmen. You teach him to manage more than a hundred people, which is more than enough. But if you ask him to manage thousands of people, he doesn't know how to manage them, so he quickly wrote a letter back and asked for help.

This letter does not report good news, but bad news.

Yuanjie, Yuan Fei felt very wronged. We were completely implementing the family plan, but the result was like this.

Yuan Mudan couldn't help but remind: "Husband, we have to think of a meticulous solution. The north-south communication is already a long way to go, and now we have to cross the ocean. It's not easy to go back and forth."

Han Yi nodded.

Yuan Lotto said with a hint of worry: "Will this attract the attention of the court?"

I hope not to do so. If it attracts the attention of the court, it will not cause rebellion. Han Yi wiped his sweat and looked at Yuan Xi and said, "I wonder what uncle has to think about this?"

Yuan Xi pondered for a while and said, "Your original plan was to occupy those islands and send slaves to the Lingnan area. This battle will be fought sooner or later, but now it has become like this. If you withdraw, it will be even more difficult to fight in the future." After a pause, he said, "But we cannot ignore the court. If the court knows this, it will inevitably be suspicious."

Yuanzhe said: "If a regime is established locally, our Yuan family may suffer a catastrophe. However, if a regime is not established, we can only include that island in the territory of our Tang Dynasty. However, in this way, the court will inevitably send officials, which will seriously harm the interests of our Yuan family."

“Of course neither is advisable.”

Han Yi nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Can we use the businessman model to operate?"

“Businessman model?”

"good!"

Han Yi said: "The Yuan family also has a lot of land, but can we say that the Yuan family is a regime? Of course not, but now there is only one more piece of land, and this piece of land is just a little larger. The people on the island are just slaves, not troops."

Yuan Mudan frowned and said, "You mean, we use the mindset of a businessman to run the local area, all as if it was just a transaction."

“That’s exactly that!”

Han Yi nodded and said, "We only seek wealth. We have built such a large piece of land for wealth. We have to squeeze out the value of that piece of land. We don't need officials like the county government office. We just need to let them work. Just like what we are doing now, it's that simple."

Yuanzhe said: "But this is not a small piece of land, nor a few hundred people. We only have about a hundred people. If we cannot form a regime and strictly manage it, we will probably not be able to suppress the local indigenous people."

Yuan Le said: "Otherwise, the Lingnan area is short of people anyway, so everyone will be transported to the Lingnan area. Although Lingnan is remote, it is under the jurisdiction of our Tang Dynasty. Those barbarians cannot cause any storms when they come to the Lingnan area. This will reduce the pressure on Yuan Jie and the others and help the southward plan."

Yuan Mudan said: "But Lingnan does not need so many people at present."

Yuan Xi said: "Although the land in Lingnan is good, there is still the imperial court monitoring it. But if the islands overseas are finalized, we have the final say. If all the wealth can be managed well, this wealth will be inexhaustible." As he spoke, his eyes flashed with greedy eyes.

"I agree with my uncle's suggestion." Han Yi said: "Now, because a piece of land is often fought for blood in China, and now God has given us such a large piece of land, there is no reason for us to put it in the place where we are abandoned. Please rest assured, uncle, this is a must-take in my plan to move south, but it is much earlier than I expected, but I have a complete plan for this. I will plan to write a detailed charter to tell Yuanjie and others how to build the local area."

"Uncle is very confident in your plan." Yuanxi nodded with a smile, because Han Yi's plan has been implemented step by step, not as mirage as I had imagined, but he said, "But do you still want Yuanjie and the others to continue fighting?"

Han Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Since those natives are so vulnerable, there is a great hope of winning if they want to continue fighting, but Yuanjie and Yuanfei do not have the experience of such a large land as officials. Therefore, I still think that if you can fight, you can fight, but you must also take appropriate steps to slow down yourself down. First, manage the occupied land, and slowly expand while managing it."

Yuan Xi exchanged views with Yuan Le and the others again, and finally decided to adopt Han Yi's suggestion.

This chamber only decides the general policy, and they have no right to interfere in specific matters, so it has to be decided by Han Yi, Yuan Mudan and Yuan Zhe.

So the three of them went to the side hall to discuss.

"I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Yuan Mudan still couldn't believe it. She thought that if she wanted to capture those islands, many people would definitely die, so she had reservations about it and did not expect it would be so relaxed.

Yuan Zhe was more curious about this, "Since those islands are so easy to occupy, why hasn't anyone ever thought about occupying those islands since the Han Dynasty?"

"I'll just dislike it, why?" Han Yi smiled and said, "Even the Central Plains people are called Lingnan, so no one wants to go to Lingnan. Generally, only prisoners go there, let alone those islands where only birds shit. Moreover, we Central Plains people also lack the spirit of pioneering. Leaving our hometown is so desolate that we leave our hometown, but we can't see that we have to leave our hometown, and no one wants to leave our hometown."

"My uncle is right, so it will be cheaper for our Yuan family." Yuanzhe said excitedly: "It is difficult to obtain more land in the Central Plains. You have to deal with it with your care, but Yuanjie and others have to occupy such a large piece of land without any effort. Our Yuan family can continue to sit down in this kind of transaction."

Yuan Mudan said, "How can you be so lucky every time? Why don't you think about it? What will happen if Yuan Jie and the others fail?"

She is still relatively conservative.

Yuanzhe smiled awkwardly and looked at Han Yi again.

Look at what I do, she is my wife! Han Yi said: "Mrs. is very right. We cannot use luck as a means of success. In this case, we will lose a lot sooner or later. Therefore, we have to make detailed plans to obtain more territory. After all, the profits of such transactions are too high."

Yuanzhe smiled and said, "My uncle's words are reasonable."

Yuan Mudan gave Han Yi a slightly blank look and said, "Why don't you know what plans do you have?"

Han Yi smiled confidently and said, "Yuanzhe, I will tell you orally, you will write it."

Yuanzhe was very excited and quickly prepared his pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
