Chapter 205 got off to a good start

Li Zhen wants to build an improvised port in Yuwei Bay, and he definitely can't hand over this task to the five thousand elites under his command.

It's not that the executor won't build a port, in fact, the port structure in this era is very simple, as long as there is a knowledgeable person commanding above, and a group of coolies working below, as long as there is no mistake, the port will definitely be built.

Not to mention that Li Zhen's 5,000 men were too small to build this port. Although Li Zhen only has 5,000 people, what he wants to build is just a simple port, let alone 5,000 people, even if there are only 1,000 people, a few months is enough.

The problem is that Li Zhen is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he is destined not to stay outside for too long, from going to sea to here, even if it is smooth, it will take more than half a month (note: 1), and if you go back, it will definitely take longer to go against the wind, which is already more than a month.

Li Zhen, as the crown prince, has been missing for more than a month......

This is the rhythm of chaos in the world.

The emperor's anger is inevitable, and the government and the opposition will certainly talk about it endlessly.

In fact, even if he can go back safely this time, not only will his subordinates be held accountable, but Li Zhen will also write a 'review' when he goes back in the future.

Therefore, Li Zhen's stay on Lilac Island is not destined to be too long, and within ten days, he must leave here.

For the five thousand guards as his guards, he must also be brought back, and he can only stay here with less than a thousand people at most.

And these 1,000 people are also responsible for guarding and other important duties, which requires a lot of manpower, and the people who can really participate in the construction of the dock are only a few hundred at most.

But the simple port, which is also a port, is very time-consuming to build, and when will hundreds of people build it?

As for Li Zhen's side, once he returns to Lingnan, he will immediately send a fleet to develop the Spice Islands, and at the speed of the fleet, a fleet of a hundred ships, even if the preparation time is added, if it arrives at Lilac Island, one month is enough.

If it takes a month for Li Zhen to go back, plus a month for the fleet, that means that the time left for his hundreds of guards is only two months at most, and hundreds of people build a port in two months?

Even if such a port can be built......

But does it work?

Who would dare to use it?

Therefore, it is imperative to recruit indigenous people, and it is only with enough indigenous labor to join in that it is possible to build an improvised port in just two months.

The only question now is whether there are enough indigenous people.

Fortunately, Yu Wenhualong gave Li Zhen a reassuring answer, although there are not many natives on Lilac Island, but there are more than 100,000 people in total, it is easy to transfer thousands of people over, and most of these natives are distributed in the coastal zone, living on fishing and hunting, and they are all tribes that love peace, as long as Li Zhen is willing to pay a sufficient price, these natives who can work hard for a bite of food all day long can even sell their lives to Li Zhen.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is the residence of the Cardamom Tribe in front of you, and in order to show peace, we must put this thing on our heads." Bach took out a hat made of weeds and said: "This hat represents peace, which means that we are mainly here for trade, if we do not wear this hat, they will mistake it for the invaders, and when the time comes, we will be greeted by a sneak attack and assassination by the cardamom tribe." ”

"Hats?" Looking at the hat in his hand, Li Zhen frowned, not that he couldn't let go of his body and disdained to wear a straw hat, the problem was the color of the straw hat......

"Forget it, for the sake of future strategic deployment, wear it once." Finally, thinking of his future plans, this port is very important, Li Zhen gritted his teeth and put his hat on his head.

However, in order to avoid feeling uncomfortable, Li Zhen did not really wear the hat on her head, but pinned a stick to the neckline at the back of her neck, and held the hat high, and it did not touch the hair, which you can't see if you don't look carefully.

"Let's go." Because of the straw hat, Li Zhen's heart was very unhappy, but fortunately, everyone put the hat on, and Li Zhen's mood was a little better - after all, the only green green is not as good as the green green.

……

The communication with the Cardamom tribe was very smooth, because Li Zhen had a large number of people, so in fact, they had been discovered after they entered the territory of the Cardamom tribe, and the Hulunbuir grassland above their heads made them think that this was a huge caravan, so the tribal chief quickly came out to greet him personally.

The scale of the Cardamom tribe is a little larger than that of the Lilac tribe, there are more than 2,500 people, and more than 1,000 Qingzhuang alone can be transferred, which almost solves the problem of Li Zhen Sancheng, if there are a few more such tribes, it will be great.

It's just that Bach poured a basin of cold water on Li Zhen, in the entire Lilac Island, only the Oh Lilac tribe and the Cardamom tribe have a population of more than a thousand people, and the rest of the tribes are only a few hundred people at most, and other large tribes are not nothing, but they are all in the middle and south of the island, and it will take a long time to walk, Li Zhen immediately gave up his plan, and now he is not familiar with the place, and he is not even familiar with the northern peninsula, so the central and southern parts will be left to the fleet to explore.

After some enthusiastic exchanges, the two sides soon reached a consensus that Li Zhen would hire 1,200 young men from the Cardamom tribe for three months, and in return, Li Zhen would need to pay a part of the food and luxuries.

In fact, at the beginning, after learning about Li Zhen's purpose, Budai, the chief of the Cardamom tribe, a middle-aged man dressed like Greedy Bin, he actually didn't plan to agree.

However, when Li Zhen threw out a beautifully crafted mirror, a strong bow and a bag of feather arrows, a dagger that had been tempered and sharpened like clay, and a dozen silk cloths as a deposit, and promised to give them no less than 5,000 catties of grain after the deed was completed, our big chief of the cloth bag knelt down directly.

Holding Li Zhen's thighs and not letting go, looking like my chief tonight, the disgusting Li Zhen almost didn't kick him out.

It's not that Li Zhen doesn't understand the market, it's really that the life of our big chief of Budai is too hard, although the cardamom tribe is more powerful than the lilac tribe, but the cardamom tribe does not have a great sage like Yu Wenlong.

You must know that Yu Wenhua Dragon not only taught the Lilac tribe Chinese and architecture, but he also taught the Lilac tribe another ability is planting, although Yu Wenhua Dragon may not have encountered planting, but has not eaten pork and has not seen a pig run?
