Lin Yaocen smiled and waved his hand, "I'm just a secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, not a divine envoy," he gestured around, "We are all people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

It's just such a simple sentence, Hu Yuancai can't translate, there is no word "people" in the Turkish language, and "Daming", "Ministry of Commerce", "Ministry of Affairs" and the like are also not clear.

He pondered for a long time and stammered, "That's it, that's it, just when we are...... The members of a tribe called 'Da Ming' are a very, very large 'tribe'......"

A middle-aged indigenous leader cautiously asked, "This is very, very big, how big is it?" ”

"How big...... It takes two or three years for our 'tribe' to travel from east to west, and there are tens of millions of people. When Shopkeeper Hu said "tens of millions", he counted for a long time with his fingers - the highest unit of counting for the natives was only nine hundred and ninety-nine.

When the natives heard this, they looked at each other again and whispered, "Isn't this 'Daming' tribe bigger than hundreds of our tribes?!" ”

"Ancestor blessing, this is too amazing!"

"Such a large tribe can only be built by the power of the Flourishing God."

"That's right, that's right......"

Hu Yuancai couldn't cry or laugh, so he only went with them, and briefly said what the "Ministry of Commerce" was, and the natives listened to it for a long time, only to feel that the functions were similar to those of the people in their tribe who were responsible for sorting sea fish.

Seeing that they finally "understood", Lin Yaocen cleared his throat and continued: "I can help you live a better life and give you all kinds of useful skills, and I only have two requirements.

"First, all tribes should respect the son of heaven and be the co-master. Second, in the future, you are not allowed to fight between your ministries without authorization, but if there is a dispute, you can come to me for arbitration. ”

After Shopkeeper Hu translated it, the middle-aged native who was still Fang Cai asked, "What is this 'Great Tomorrow'?" ”

Hu Yuancai explained for a long time, and seeing that he really couldn't tell what the definition of "Son of Heaven" was, he had to secretly glance at Lord Lin, turned his head and whispered: "Probably the leader of the 'Daming Tribe'." ”

Thorn Linghua immediately exclaimed, "To be able to lead such a large tribe, only the divine envoy can do it!" ”

The other natives nodded, "Yes, yes." ”

Lin Yaocen saw the demeanor of the natives and asked Hu Yuancai what they were talking about, and the latter said helplessly.

Unexpectedly, Lord Lin laughed loudly: "Since the Son of Heaven is ordered by heaven, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a divine envoy. ”

Another female indigenous leader pretended to be bold and pointed at the short and fat native beside her, and said in a loud voice: "'Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce', the Galu tribe often poachs in our hunting grounds, if you don't let us fight him, do you let them steal?" ”

"That, 'Secretary of Commerce' is not an adult's name......," Hu Yuancai hurriedly explained the concepts of "surname" and "first name" again.

Lin Yaocen said: "What are you going back and forth for? Isn't it just to be full? If the grain is full, they will come to poach some of your birds and beasts, will you care? ”

The female leader listened to the translation, thought for a moment, and said, "No." ”

"That's it." Lin Yaocen continued, "As long as you listen to me, food will not be a problem." ”

He had recently checked in the vicinity, and Australia was full of kangaroos and emus (a large bird that resembles ostriches), and they could easily get half a month's ration when they went out with a bow on their backs. But for the natives who adopt the most primitive hunting methods, they can only starve with their golden rice bowls.

The stocky natives asked, "What if anyone comes to attack our settlement?" ”

Lin Yaocen's eyes were cold, "Those who kill people without permission, die." Those who trespass on the tribes of men, the Bulun festival is an example. ”

The natives were suppressed by his momentum, and remembered that the Belon Festival was razed by the "divine punishment", although they were not very comfortable with the anti-traditional thing of "not killing each other", they still reluctantly nodded and agreed.

Although Lin Yaocen saw their expressions, he was not very worried, with time, strict control, supplemented by education, they would naturally change their bad habits.

He gave them a careful order, and when they had eaten lunch, they dispersed.

In less than a month, the lives of the Australian Aborigines in the vicinity of 200 miles from Xiaoquanzhou as the center underwent earth-shaking changes.

First of all, a few Chinese were stationed in various tribes, who were in charge of management as "governors' envoys". However, the natives called them "worshippers of the gods."

The envoy first brought bows and arrows and wheelbarrows to the natives, and these two things alone made a qualitative leap in their lives.

Lin Yaocen also asked several tribes that were relatively close to each other to be organized together, and a hunting team was drawn and strong, which was trained and commanded by the Ming soldiers and soldiers to hunt in the grassland in a "dragnet" style.

Thanks to the power of the bow and arrow and the low IQ of Australian wildlife, the hunting efficiency is surprisingly high, and the hunting team can bring back more than half a month's worth of food after going out for half a day, and then happily transport it back to the tribe in a wheelbarrow.

Soon, Lin Yaocen had to strictly order that he must hunt as needed, otherwise at this rate of culling, it would not take a few years for the natives to sweep away the nearby prey.

And these hunting teams became the prototype of the Ming colonial army in Australia, and in the future, they went to Batavia with the sailor warship, and made great achievements.

Compared with bows and arrows and wheelbarrows, the most attractive to the natives are two things that are extremely common in the Ming Dynasty - iron pots and seasonings.

With these two "artifacts", the taste of the food immediately becomes wonderful. If the natives have eaten a meal cooked in an iron pot with salt and pepper, and then let them eat what has been roasted dry, it is even more uncomfortable than killing them.

Not to mention the "worship of the gods and the people" and a mysterious method of making food - stir-frying.

The smell is indescribable! Take a bite and you can float to the sky. So much so that for a long time, eating a stir-fried meal has become the highest reward for the local people.

Of course, Lin Yaocen always firmly controlled resources such as arrowheads, steel knives, salt, and horses in Xiaoquanzhou, and even the iron pot was distributed according to one bite per thirty natives.

As a result of the increase in productivity, the nearby indigenous tribes soon had a surplus of labor.

Lin Yaocen authorized Hu Yuancai to gather the sturdy men in the tribe and officially start excavating the copper mine, and in only half a month, thousands of sturdy people spontaneously rushed to the copper mine to work.

These natives are idle anyway, working in the copper mines, eating and living, and they can also earn "treasure money", why not?

After this kind of "treasure money" is in hand, it can be exchanged for food, salt, and pepper with "worship to the gods", which can be coveted by the whole tribe. Even steel knives can be exchanged, and they are treasures that only tribal leaders and priests can have! It's just that the price is extremely expensive.

Following the instructions of the Great Tomorrow, the colony promoted paper money from the very beginning. First, the technical ability of the natives will never be able to imitate counterfeit banknotes, and second, they can save a large amount of gold and silver in circulation.

Fueled by salt, pepper and even steel knives, the natives were so enthusiastic about their work that a month and a half later the first batch of copper ore from Australia had been shipped to Daming – more than twice as fast as Guinea!

At the same time, the indigenous tribes that chose to accept the leadership of Xiao Quanzhou were greatly strengthened with the help of ample food and advanced tools, and almost completely won the war against the tribes further afield—those tribes that did not establish contact with the Ming Dynasty were not protected by Lin Yaocen's rule that "no unauthorized fighting" was protected by Lin Yaocen's rule that even if they were not defeated, they soon had a hunting party formed by the tribes to avenge them.

As a result, more tribes came to Xiaoquanzhou to surrender. Soon after, with the spread of salt, pepper, horses and other things, the legend of "worshipping the gods and making people" began to spread throughout the northwest of Australia, and Xiaoquanzhou almost became a holy place.
