The imperial court issued an imperial edict for the restoration of love and quickly sent envoys to Zhoushan.
Although Chen Yue's memorial not long ago stated that he captured Dongfan Island and expelled the Dutch, he did not say that he himself was also on Dongfan Island.
Moreover, the Chinese New Year was about to take place, so the court instinctively thought that Chen Yue should be in the fiefdom of Zhoushan.
The eunuch named Zheng Xin, an eunuch named Zheng Xin, was responsible for conveying the order.
He was escorted by a team of royal guards.
First, he rode to Zhenjiang, then took a boat along the canal to Hangzhou.
Then he recruited a navy warship in Hangzhou and went straight to Zhoushan.
The imperial court was so urgent in recruiting that the envoy did not dare to neglect it.
When he arrived at Zhoushan Island, it happened to be This is the Spring Festival.
However, what shocked Zheng Xin, the eunuch who delivered the order, was that Duke Chen Yue of Qi was not on Zhoushan Island.
The person in charge of things on Zhoushan Island was just the head of the Duke's Mansion, named Zhang Chengkai.
"The matter is extremely urgent.
May I ask Duke Qi where his old man is now?"
Zheng Xin asked eagerly to Zhang Chengkai who welcomed him ashore.
"The Duke of Guo has just captured Dongfan Island.
Because the climate there is warmer than Zhoushan, he decided to celebrate the New Year in Dongfan, so he summoned everyone from the Duke's mansion there.
If the Holy Envoy is willing, I can send a sea ship The boat will take you to Dongfan, which will take about ten days.”
Zhang Chengkai said respectfully, what he said was true.
After the Dongfan Island was captured, immigrants from Shandong were resettled, and the original Ming people on Dongfan Island were organized into households.
There were too many things to do.
Although the Chinese New Year was about to come, Chen Yue had no time to return to Zhoushan.
Moreover, he felt that Zhoushan was too narrow and too close to the mainland.
In the future, the focus of the Qi Duke's office would be transferred to Dongfan Island.
Chen Yue simply ordered that the Qi Duke's office be moved to Dayuan, the shogunate departments, and everyone else.
They arrived in Dongfan one after another, leaving only a few people in Zhoushan.
Because he was responsible for coordinating the shipbuilding workshop, Zhang Chengkai was left in Zhoushan to take charge.
When he thought that he would have to take another ten days of sailing to reach Dongfan Island to deliver the decree, Zheng Xin felt as if he had swallowed a yellow lotus.
When he just arrived by boat from Hangzhou, he was so seasick that he vomited out his gall.
"Eunuch Zheng, can you please ask Duke Qi to come back to Zhoushan to receive the order?
We will just wait here."
One of his subordinates quietly suggested to Zheng Xin, which made him very excited.
After a while, Zheng Xin shook his head.
The situation in the court was extremely urgent, and he would never dare to delay in Zhoushan.
"Please ask Master Zhang to send a sea ship as soon as possible.
Our family must go to Dongfan Island immediately to convey the decree to Duke Qi."
Zheng Xin suppressed her inner fear of the sea journey and said to Zhang Chengkai resolutely.
"Just leave your humble post and ask your father-in-law to go to the city and rest for a while.
I'll make arrangements immediately when I get down.
After all, we need to arrange manpower and bring enough food supplies for the ten-day sea journey."
Zhang Chengkai said with a smile.
When Zheng Xin went down to rest, Zhang Chengkai quickly dispatched a bird boat and sailed towards Dongfan Island to inform Chen Yue of the court's intentions so that he could have time to make countermeasures.
Dongfan Island, Pingnancheng.
After nearly a month of hard work, the 30,000 immigrants from Shandong were basically settled.
Although the residence is simple, just a shack made of mud, bamboo and wood, at least he has a home.
Chen Yue purchased a large amount of grain from Susong, Zhejiang and other places, plus the fish caught from Zhoushan, enough to feed these 30,000 people for several months.

And when spring comes, wasteland can be opened up for farming.
As long as one season of food is harvested, the entire Dongfan Island will be completely settled.
There were originally more than 20,000 Ming people on Dongfan Island, mostly immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong.
Adding in 30,000 immigrants, the total number of people on the island was more than 60,000.
Now all these people have been registered and compiled.
Entered Beigang and Dayuan counties.
Now Beigang County only controls an area of dozens of miles around Beigang, with no more than a few thousand households and no more than 30,000 residents.
Dayuan County only controls the southern plain of Dongfan Island and the surrounding areas of the Taijiang Inland Sea.
For the large Dongfan Island, only these two small areas were under the control of the Duke of Qi.
The other huge areas were still in a barbaric and undeveloped state.
Controlled areas are governed by the county and village levels.
Originally, the land cultivated by the Ming people belonged to themselves, and the government issued land deeds.
In the future, taxes were paid according to the land deeds.
It was strictly forbidden to hide the land population, and violators were severely punished.
The Ming people in Dongfan had just arrived in the Ming Dynasty and were only a few years old.
They did not have the big gentry families like in the Ming Dynasty, nor did they have much local influence.
However, unlike the Ming Dynasty, the rule of the Duke of Qi in Dongfan penetrated deep into the countryside.
Even if you want to hide the population and land, you can't do it.
For new immigrants, each person regardless of age is allocated twenty acres of land, and the government provides seed tools for them to cultivate on their own in the spring.
In order to prevent the family from being too large and endangering the rule, the Duke of Qi issued regulations that each household was not allowed to have more than three adult males and no more than ten people.
If the number exceeded, the family must be divided.
Because Qian Fenglin carried out detailed registration when he immigrated to Zhoushan, when allocating immigration residences, those immigrants from the same village and the same ethnic group were dispersed and resettled to prevent them from getting together.
Basically, the immigrants were all the same as the original Ming people. scattered together.
Fortunately, Dongfan is big enough, and immigrants will not take away the resources of the original Ming people, so there is no problem for everyone to live in peace.
On the contrary, the arrival of immigrants is also good for these early Ming people.
At least many of their things can be sold at a good price.
Many people take out and sell things that are not used at home, and the government purchases them and redistributes them.
It was a small fortune for the immigrants.
After experiencing the initial difficulties, the immigrants gradually settled down and everything became regular.
After the Chinese New Year, immigrants will continue to come from Shandong, and Chen Yue will also recruit immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong.
If Dongpan wants to develop rapidly, it will not work without enough population.
However, with the experience of resettling these 30,000 people and the current three-level official system in counties and townships, future resettlement will be much easier.
The future focus will be on Dongfan.
Chen Yue decided to celebrate the New Year on Dongfan Island.
He had already ordered people to move Zhoushan's Qian Fenglin, Shan Minglei and other officials from the shogunate to Dongfan.
Of course, there were also Wu Waner and others in Hangzhou.
Kou Baimen.
Kou Baimen lives peacefully outside Hangzhou and puts incense on Chen Jianghe's grave every day, which really touches Chen Yue, who cannot bear to have her stay alone in Hangzhou during the Chinese New Year.
Pingnan City, this castle left by the Dutch is now the Duke's Mansion of Qi and the core of the entire Dongfan Island.
Now there are lights and colors everywhere, and the joy of the New Year permeates the entire castle.
The Japanese made a huge amount of silver from trade, and after seizing the officials, they also seized a huge amount of material wealth from the Dutch.
Now the Duke of Qi has no shortage of money.
A large amount of reward materials were distributed, and the entire Pingnan City was in a state of joy, full of festive joy, which was in sharp contrast to the gloomy and sad Ming court
