05 Invitations
"Chief, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're still so handsome and extraordinary, and your aura is magnificent!" The native, Chaza, in the language he had learned from the population of Bengang, praised the young man in front of him half-bakedly, but he didn't use it in the wrong place.
Chaza is the patriarch of the Babokulu tribe, a medium-sized tribe in the Bengang Alliance, and in response to Li Tianyang's invitation, he took several clansmen to Jilong Harbor by boat through Bengang to listen to Li Tianyang's account of a major event.
There are a lot of people traveling with him, more than ten patriarchs of large and medium-sized tribes such as Ma Yao of the Zhuluo Mountain Society, Harik of the Yushan Tribe, and Mana Wu of the Black Panther Tribe, have all been invited by Li Tianyang to be guests in the Chicken Coop Harbor, and even the Laike tribe who has just applied to join the alliance and heard that he is not dealing with Li Tianyang in Bengang. Patton didn't fall.
And the observation along the way, Chaza was surprised to find that among the patriarchs invited by their line, they were all leading a group in the Bengang Alliance, or powerful tribes such as the Black Panther and the Lake tribe that had just arrived but were strong enough to take charge on their own.
With the spread of cultivation technology, a tribe no longer has to occupy a huge hunting ground if it wants to feed a population of thousands, and only a radius of ten miles of land is enough for them to grow the food that the tribe can use for a year. Therefore, the population of each tribe has expanded and developed in recent years, and a tribe of more than 1,000 people could be regarded as a large tribe, but now it is only a medium-sized tribe.
"Patriarch Chaza is now saying that our Da Ming words are getting more and more slippery, and we can use idioms!" Li Tianyang greeted Ma Yao and them with a smile, and cordially took Chaza's words and chatted with him, feeling a little happy in his heart about the results of affecting the habits of the surrounding tribes over the years.
While talking, he tried to lead everyone through the docks and residential areas of Jilong Harbor in the direction of the town center.
Along the way, many patriarchs have been full of emotion about the prosperous and lively life of Jilong Port, which is relatively more like an ordinary and closed village, there are always ships in and out, a large number of sailors and coolies shuttling in and out of the dock area, tea shops and restaurants everywhere in residential areas, and Qinglou gambling houses that can't stop the hustle and bustle in the house, Jilong Port is a completely different world.
Even Mana and Lake, who have already been to Chicken Coop Harbor once. Barton also had to admit that even if they went back, they were still full of nostalgia and reverie for Chicken Coop Harbor.
"Tianyang, good job, the situation in this chicken coop port is really a bit like the moon port we went to!" Ma Yao, the most loyal ally of the Bengang team, has changed his personality a lot after becoming the patriarch of the Zhuluo Mountain Society, and he no longer regains the image of the furry monkey he used to be, and he is a little more calm and calm. At this time, seeing the novel environment in the chicken coop port, although there was a lot of surprise in his eyes, but he also followed Li Tianyang and them to Yuegang for a few days, which was not a gaffe.
"Of course, we said at the beginning that we wanted to build a city as prosperous and lively as Moon Harbor on Dayuan Island, have you forgotten?" Li Tianyang looked at Ma Yao with sincere eyes, as if reminding Ma Yao of their original promise.
“…… At the time, I just thought we were talking about fun, but who knew you would remember it! "The original youth and frivolity are gone, and it is not until now that he has taken the position of patriarch that Ma Yao knows that it is not easy to run a tribe well, let alone the big city with a population of hundreds of thousands that they saw at the beginning.
"I will never break my promise to us, although we may not be able to fulfill it in our lifetime, but I am moving forward towards our original goal, so that people like you can live in a better environment." In front of everyone, Li Tianyang sincerely showed his heart to Ma Yao, and his attitude was sincere.
All the patriarchs present who saw this scene had different expressions, and they had their own thoughts about what Li Tianyang said.
Subsequently, Li Tianyang was not in a hurry to convene everyone to discuss the matter, but settled them down first and rested for a while. Many patriarchs have never been on a boat, and although the sea is calm when they come, there are still many patriarchs who are seasick and dizzy, and they are depressed when they go ashore.
It wasn't until everyone had a good night's rest in Jilong Harbor that Li Tianyang feasted the Turkish patriarchs he invited in the Jilong Port Government Building the next day.
In the banquet, there are rich and delicious Chinese delicacies, and on the table are fine wines from the interior of the Ming Dynasty. The biggest change in the indigenous people over the years is not in their clothing and behavior, but in their food.
The country of Chinese civilization and foodies is not boasted, and countless foreigners in later generations have been conquered by China's vast food culture, and this closed and backward island is no exception.
The aborigines who used to only know about salted boiled meat, barbecued meat, and raw fruits and vegetables, the only thing that did not resist the imported culture from China was food.
The wine from China has also successfully conquered the brave and warlike indigenous warriors, and after a sip of wine, the whole person's blood is full of blood and fluttering immortals, which is just enough to dispel all kinds of negative emotions brought by a soldier on the battlefield: fear, cruelty, ruthlessness......
Mental illness is not only found in later generations, but also because the ancients did not have a psychiatrist and did not know how to channel their dark emotions, so there were green buildings and gambling houses, which made drinking a daily need.
Eating and drinking at one meal is inevitable, but all the patriarchs present know that eating and drinking is just a formality, and the real highlight will be revealed by Li Tianyang.
"Haha, how do you see the development of my chicken coop port?" While tasting the wine in his hand, Li Tianyang's face turned red as if he was proudly showing off to the patriarchs present!
"Needless to say, compared to our poor tribes, it is naturally the same place as the fairyland!" There is no shortage of people everywhere, and the aborigines are no exception, and the first person to speak is the Chaza patriarch who was close to Li Tianyang as soon as he came up yesterday.
Although the patriarchs of the other tribes did not like Chaza's actions, to tell the truth, no matter how you look at Jilong Harbor, it is also the most prosperous and lively place that these local buns have ever seen.
Therefore, the natives who are quite upright by nature naturally do not talk nonsense of duplicity, and they have expressed their feelings about Jilong Harbor, most of which are praise.
