Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 780 Meilihui King Territory, Three Native Tribes

Zhu Huiyan also felt that it was not easy for Zhu Changrun to get through this journey. When Zhu Changrun was in the most serious condition and almost died in Nanyang, she even regretted taking Zhu Changrun with her.

Now that she has successfully arrived at King Hui's territory, the scenery of the land in front of her and the ocean behind her is beautiful again, and she is in a good mood.

"Father, when our King Hui becomes rich, my daughter will build a Buddhist temple for you, and invite eminent monks from China to preside over it, and let you have someone to accompany you to study Buddhist scriptures."

Hearing this, Zhu Changrun was even happier, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, what a good lonely daughter, hahaha."

After a few words with Zhu Changrun, Zhu Huiyan went to watch the landing in person.

When Hui Wangling's fleet landed, the remaining small number of ships continued to sail westward along the coastline.That was the fleet of Nangang Guard, the last guard of Yingzhou Dusi of the imperial court.

King Hui has Nangang Guard to the west and Southeast Guard to the east, so he is not alone.

The seaside of King Hui's territory is mainly plain terrain, while inland there are hills and grasslands, which belong to the temperate marine climate. Apart from grasslands and bushes, there are forests composed of tall trees on the land. The land is opened up more than Yanzhou. Island is much easier.

But the land here is obviously not as fertile as that in Yanzhou. Even wheat, sorghum, and corn can only be planted once a year.

Naturally, Zhu Huiyan had considered this long ago, so the fleet brought a lot of food, enough to feed more than 5000 people for more than a year.

If you add the meat obtained from fishing and hunting here, the wild fruits collected, etc., you can eat it for two years.

No, when I landed, I saw a lot of fish people near the port, and Shi Yuzan, the right chief, had already assigned people to go fishing.

Seeing that Zhu Zhixi, the left chief recommended by Princess Kunqing, directed the landing in an orderly manner, Zhu Huiyan went up to the higher platform of Huiwang's ship and looked at the surrounding things with binoculars.

If it was in Daming, it would be late spring, and the sky and the earth should be green.But just as the "Yingzhou" class said, the forests, shrubs, and grasslands here are already withered and yellow, and it is autumn!

Autumn is high and crisp, which is suitable for opening up fields.

It's just that she doesn't know if winter wheat and other crops that will be planted in autumn will be planted in time. After landing, she will have to ask the old farmers among the immigrants.

After looking at the big environment, Zhu Huiyan caught a somewhat familiar figure—the kangaroo.

It's really like what the emperor said in the "Yingzhou" lesson, kangaroos are everywhere in Yingzhou.

Every time she landed before, she could see the traces of kangaroos on the shore. There were even kangaroos on some islands, and she didn't know how their ancestors traveled across the ocean to the islands.

Speaking of which, these kangaroos do not actively attack people, but live on grass.As a woman, Zhu Huiyan actually thinks these kangaroos are quite cute.

However, as the eldest son of Hui Wangling, she agreed to the proposal of forming a hunting team to hunt kangaroos and make jerky after landing in the earlier royal meeting.

"whale!"

There were bursts of exclamations from the boat, and Zhu Huiyan couldn't help but look at the sea to the south with a telescope.

I saw quite far away from the fleet, several water jets shot up from the sea surface, and there were huge figures underneath, which were obviously whales.

If the ubiquitous kangaroos on land are a kind of shock and surprise to the immigrants of Ming Dynasty, then starting from the east coast of Yingzhou to the south, seeing all kinds of whales along the way is another kind of shock and surprise.

Whales are naturally much more powerful than kangaroos, and they are the overlords in the ocean, but Zuo Changshi Zhu Zhixi suggested whaling on the way.

Because in addition to providing meat, whales can also provide valuable materials such as whale oil and whalebone.

But let Zhu Huiyan deny it.

The main reason is that whaling is too dangerous - only coastal fishermen in Ming Dynasty have experience in offshore whaling.When Hui Wangling recruited immigrants, he did not deliberately recruit such talents at all.

She had heard that some of the immigrants recruited by King Tang knew how to hunt whales, because the immigrants in King Tang's territory mainly came from coastal areas such as Guangdong and Fujian.

Of course, if a whale runs aground on the coast of King Hui, she will not stop everyone from killing the whale for profit.

A few days later, Hui Wangling's immigration base at the port took shape.

When the sun was setting that day, Zhu Huiyan held a meeting in Wang's account.

The main participants in the meeting were the left and right long history of the palace, Yu Guowang, the pro-military commander, Yang Shang, the deputy commander, and others.

"My son, according to the observations and judgments of many old farmers among the immigrants, it is time to plant winter wheat in Wangling, but it needs to be planted earlier. If it is too late, there may not be much harvest next year.

Therefore, the subordinates suggested that the construction of the house can be done later, and the manpower should be concentrated on reclaiming the fields and planting seasonal crops such as winter wheat. " Yu Zan, who is in charge of logistics related matters, said with a straight face.

The right chief Shi was in his early forties, with a thin appearance and a clear voice. When he spoke, he looked serious and dignified.

Zhu Huiyan also had this intention, and immediately looked at Zhu Zhixi, and asked, "Zuo Changshi, how many people can we squeeze out from all aspects?"

Zhu Zhixi is 30 years old and has the air of an official and gentleman, but at this moment he said with a wry smile: "There are nearly three thousand people who cultivate wasteland and farmland. How many people can we squeeze out in other areas?"

Yu Zan said: "The hunting team doesn't need many people—what are you doing hunting so many kangaroos? Kangaroo meat is not tasty.

In addition, building a house does not require so many people.Although the weather here has already entered autumn, it is still relatively dry. It is completely possible to wait until the winter wheat is planted before concentrating on building houses. "

Zhu Zhixi sighed and said, "I'll squeeze out 300 more people at most."

Yu Zan frowned, "How can 300 people be enough?"

At this time, Zhu Huiyan said: "Allow 200 people from the pro-army, and let them join the field cultivation team temporarily with a one-yuan subsidy for each person per month."

Yu Zan fell silent, but Zhu Zhixi said, "Your Majesty, this is impossible. How can the three hundred relatives take care of the safety of the immigration base?"

Zhu Huiyan said: "The immigrant base is dangerous outside but not inside, but in the past few days Commander Yu and Commander Yang have inspected the surrounding area for [-] miles, and only found three native tribes.

The small ones only have about two hundred people, and the large ones only have more than 500 people. Although they are not very civilized, they are not cannibals.

Commander Yang has also made deals with these three tribes, which can be regarded as the conclusion of friendly relations.With so many of us, they won't strike without a reason. "

After Zhu Huiyan finished speaking, Yang Shang (Zhu Huiyan's husband) said: "It's true, these three natives are not enough to cause trouble. Even if an attack does come, we only need a few dozen relatives to defeat it. "

"So that's the case." Zhu Zhixi had no objection, and then his heart moved, and he asked: "Can you hire them to help cultivate the fields with low-priced items? Logging requires ax and saws, and they are not suitable; but to clean up stones and plant roots in the fields, Surely they should be able to do it?"

Zhu Huiyan looked at Yang Shang.

Yang Shangdao: "Tomorrow, I will go to the leaders of these tribes to communicate and try."

Although Yang Shang is the deputy commander of the pro-army, he actually doesn't know how to lead troops in battle.Instead of leading a business team, he is quite talented in communicating with the natives, so he has been in charge of communicating with the natives in the past few days.

Zhu Huiyan instructed: "The natives are ignorant, you should pay more attention to safety when communicating with them."

His wife's concern warmed Yang Shang's heart, but in front of everyone in Wang's tent, he didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

The next day, Yang Shang took a hundred princes to lead the army, and left with some sugar, cloth and pottery.

He first went to the Sosa tribe, which was the closest to the immigration base, five or six miles to the north—the tribe was named by Yang Shang, because the leader of the tribe always liked to say "Sousa (Said Sa?)" before speaking.

It was the leader's name that made Yang Shang call him "Sousa".I don't know if the other party understands or not, but there is no objection anyway.

When they came near a river, Yang Shang and others saw simple tents made of animal skins and wooden sticks by the river.

The Sosa Department is the largest among the three, with more than 500 people, so there are one or two hundred tents by the river, which is not small.

A team of Yang Shangling was waiting here with 50 people, and he only brought the other 50 people and the goods for exchange.

Before he got close, more than 100 people from Sosa's department came out to welcome him.The leader is a middle-aged strong native with yellow and black skin, black curly hair, feathers on his head, and white lines painted on his face and body.

This strong man is only compared to other natives. In fact, this native is just over 1.6 meters tall and has a big belly.

Seeing that it was Yang Shang and the others, the leader laughed loudly and said, "Say it! @#%"

Yang Shang also smiled and said, "Sousa! I'm here to make a deal with you!"

Then, Yang Shang made gestures with the leader of Sosa, and added some body movements.

In the past few days of communication, Yang Shang discovered that the aboriginal gestures here are quite complicated and can express a lot of meanings—it's a pity that he doesn't understand.

Fortunately, the natives have a high degree of comprehension of body language.

After tossing and tossing for more than half an hour, and sending out another large piece of cloth, Yang Shang finally managed to let the leader of Sosa barely understand what he meant by hiring people to work.

The reason why I say it is reluctant is because Yang Shang understands that most of these natives don't have the concept of hiring people to work.

Sure enough, after a lot of tossing, he let the leader of Sosa bring a hundred young men back to the immigration base with him.

　First more.
