Beside a clear stream, several bonfires are burning fiercely, and on top of the fire are some golden game that has been roasted. The fat on these golden roasts overflows, and occasionally some drips onto the fire below. On the table, sparks splashed, and from time to time, a young maid stepped forward, flipping the barbecue gently, while brushing various seasonings on it, making the meat on both sides of the creek permeated.

Not far from the upstream of the creek, Princess Yuzhang and Wen Xin were laughing and playing in the water. Although the creek was neither wide nor deep, there were a lot of fish in it, so they all rolled up their trouser legs and stood there. In the water, it is said that they want to catch a few fish and come back to make soup.By the tent behind the fire, Li Yin, Tang Yizhi, and Li Ke were discussing what happened to be reported by the guards.

"Your Highness, the smallpox epidemic among the natives of Australia is raging this time. Although those sick natives are still far away from Nan'ao City, the disease is merciless. No one knows whether the smallpox will spread here, so Yichen's See, you and His Highness King Wu, the concubine, the princess and others, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible!" Tang Yizhi said first.

Just now, the guards sent an urgent message. Three hundred miles to the northwest of Nan'ao, several native tribes have discovered the plague of smallpox one after another, and it has already broken out. Some of the surrounding native tribes have also begun to get sick. Those who reported the situation were almost certain to die, and the Han Chinese caravan who discovered this situation immediately reported it. Now that area has been sealed off, and the merchants who reported the report have also been quarantined, but no one knows whether the smallpox epidemic will spread to South Australia. Come.Capital Datang 622

But Li Yin shook his head easily after hearing this and said: "Don't worry about this. We have already promoted the method of vaccinating in Taiwan. Han people who migrate overseas must be vaccinated. You will develop antibodies against smallpox, and you will never get smallpox again in your life. So let alone smallpox is still so far away, even if I go to the long-endemic area now, I don’t have to worry about getting sick!”

Hearing Li Yin mentioning vaccinating, Li Ke couldn't help but raised his left hand and "touched" his right arm. A few years ago, Taiwan's medical school invented the method of vaccinating, which is to take the pus and blood from the pustules of vaccinia, and then dry it. Powdered and applied after pricking a person's arm, the person who vaccinated would have a reaction over the next few days, but generally not very severely.It will return to normal soon, and this also means that the vaccination was successful. At the beginning, the governments of Taiwan and Datang vigorously promoted it.Everyone, no matter how high or low, was vaccinated, and Li Ke's whole family had also been vaccinated, and now there is a scar on his arm.

However, although Li Ke believed that Li Yin would not lie, he still had no confidence in the cowpox planted on his body, so he said at this time: "Liu Lang. The technology of vaccination and smallpox prevention has only been promoted for a few years, although it has been widely used in recent years. It is true that smallpox did not break out in Tang and Taiwan, but it does not fully explain that it is all due to the cowpox, and there are ugly children, so this time we should be more careful, everyone boarded the boat and left South Australia first good!"

I heard Li Ke mention these ugly children.Li Yin was also shocked. Although he believed that ugly people who had been inoculated with cowpox would not be infected by smallpox, as a father.He will not put his children in any danger, besides, smallpox has always been known for its high fatality rate, and the current vaccination technology is still rough, in case some of the ugly children do not develop antibodies, It will be too late to get sick by then.

It may be difficult for people without children to understand Li Yin's worry.But as long as people who are parents are in Li Yin's current situation, they will probably have this kind of concern.So Li Yin finally nodded and said: "Okay, then let's make preparations and try to leave Nan'ao in these two days, but brother-in-law, do you want Sister Yuzhang to leave with us?"

Li Yin finally turned his head and asked Tang Yizhi, but Tang Yizhi smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, in fact, this kind of smallpox outbreak in Australia is not the first time, when we just came here At that time, there was an outbreak of smallpox among the natives. That smallpox killed more than half of the natives near Nan'ao, and the rest were moved away. On the contrary, none of us Han people got sick. I believe it is due to the vaccination of vaccinia. After Zhang experienced the smallpox, he was no stranger to smallpox outbreaks among the natives, but your Highness, you'd better leave for a while, after all, no one can guarantee such a thing."

Li Yin was taken aback when he heard Tang Yizhi's words, and then he remembered that Tang Yizhi's memorial to him seemed to have mentioned the outbreak of smallpox in Australian natives, but because no Han people were infected, he He didn't care about it either, but now when he was on the scene, he could feel the uneasiness and uneasiness that Tang Yizhi and his sister, Princess Yuzhang, felt at that time.

"Why, does smallpox often break out here in Australia?" Li Ke asked in surprise after hearing this.

But this time, before Tang Yizhi could speak, Li Yin took it over and explained: "Third brother, you don't know, there was no smallpox here in Australia, but because of the arrival of us outsiders, some people in the Central Plains and other places have been taken away. The disease was brought here. If you use a professional medical term, these natives have no antibodies against these diseases in their bodies, so when they face such diseases as smallpox, they can only wait to die!"

When Li Yin spoke to the end, he also remembered some information he read on the Internet in his previous life. When Spain invaded America, it also brought smallpox virus with it. Tens of millions of people died.The situation in Australia is similar to that in the Americas, and the natives naturally have no resistance to the plague of smallpox.

"His Royal Highness, this is indeed the case, and it seems that the closer the natives are to us, the more likely they are to get sick. Speaking of which, those natives are now keeping a respectful distance from us Han people, and they are not even willing to contact us for some transactions. , In addition to the activities of some slave hunting teams, the natives are quite unfriendly to us now, and it is not easy to recruit some natives to work in the city!" Tang Yizhi also said with a wry smile.

As the lord of Nan'ao City, he is also in charge of the government affairs along the southeast coast of Australia. Naturally, he has to deal with the natives. In addition, the number of Han people in Australia is now scarce, so Tang Yizhi has always wanted to recruit some native tribes. Unfortunately, due to illness and The reason why the slave hunting team was hunting slaves everywhere made the relationship between the Han people and the local natives worse and worse, which made him worried that large-scale conflicts would break out in the future, so he took this opportunity to raise it now, and wanted Li Yin to think about it Method.

Li Yin naturally heard the implication of Tang Yizhi's words, and immediately frowned and began to think.Australia is no better than Taiwan and Nanyang. It is too far away from the Central Plains, the homeland of the Han people. Even though he promises great profits and formulates many preferential policies, there are still too few people who are willing to travel thousands of miles to move here.

And not only Australia, Ceylon and the Americas also have the same problem.America is too far away to mention it for now, but the Sinhalese on Ceylon believe in Buddhism and surrendered peacefully. In addition, the entry of the Han people really made them feel that their living standards have improved, so the Sinhalese on the island The Galo people not only quickly got used to the rule of the Han people, but also actively cooperated, which made the island of Ceylon develop extremely fast. Gemstones and tea industry have become the two major economic pillars of the island.

With the precedent of Ceylon Island, it is not surprising that Tang Yizhi could think of a way to recruit the local natives. Besides, as a local official and a very motivated person, he naturally wanted to make a living in his own governance. Only by making some political achievements can he show his talents, but if a place wants to develop, everything depends on the people under its rule. No one can develop, and this is definitely not possible with the Han people in Australia. So the quickest and easiest way is to recruit the local natives, and then give them both kindness and power, and let them join in the construction of Australia while promoting the method of Sinicization.

After thinking about this, Li Yin let out a long breath, then turned to Tang Yizhi and asked, "Brother Yizhi, if you have any ideas, feel free to bring them up!"

Tang Yizhi was refreshed after hearing this, what he was waiting for was Li Yin's words, and he immediately said: "Actually, if you want to recruit natives, it's nothing more than showing them power and luring them for profit. There are [-] regular troops stationed here, and there are also a considerable number of slave hunting teams. In the past, some ignorant natives provoked them, but they were all wiped out by us, so it is enough to show their prestige."

Having said that, Tang Yizhi paused for a moment, and then said again: "But the next lure is more important, because only when the natives see the benefits, will they be willing to use it for us. I think this question For a long time, in fact, as long as two things are done, the first is to issue protection orders to the natives who surrender to us, prohibiting the slave hunting team from capturing the natives of these tribes, and the second is to inoculate them with cowpox and exempt them from Among the sufferings of illness, the second one is the most important, so please think about it, Your Highness!"

After listening to Tang Yizhi's words, Li Yin was in deep thought and remained silent. Tang Yizhi's idea of ​​seducing him for profit is very good. The first suggestion is to pay equal attention to kindness and power. If you surrender, you don't have to worry about becoming a slave. Grab it and buy it in the mine.The second is to grasp the weakness of the local natives, not afraid that they will not submit obediently.Capital Datang 622

Thinking of this, Li Yin finally nodded and said: "Okay, this matter is settled, I will let the Slave Catching Association and the Medical School send people to assist you, but for the recruited natives, the promotion of Sinicization must also be done. Hurry up, don't raise a group of white-eyed wolves!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will save you!" Tang Yizhi was also full of excitement when he heard Li Yin's promise.

But then Li Yin suddenly thought of another thing, his eyes lit up and he said: "Wait, I still have a group of special immigrants that can be sent to Australia, and then I can help you stabilize the rule here. "(to be continued)
