Chapter 211: Crowds are never a problem
The entire Zhongshan Kingdom has indeed benefited from this trade. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The king of Zhongshan generously lowered the price of salt, and all the people were happy, and at the same time ordered people to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes according to the method of Ambassador Hou Dongfang.
If the yield of this material is really so high, the people of Zhongshan Country will not be hungry, and such a country will continue from generation to generation if there is no strong foreign enemy.
The king of Zhongshan said, "My son, the potatoes and sweet potatoes are more important than arquebuses. Arquebuses will give us more land and more people, but potatoes and sweet potatoes will keep us alive for thousands of years!
I really want to give this country to you now, I want to go to Lin'an to live------ or I want to go to Thornton City. ”
The crown prince immediately said: "Father, not now, I feel that there is too much difference between me and people like Ambassador Hou." It's really strange that I have been auditing Taixue for many years, and I am far inferior to people like him in terms of knowledge.
So, I'm going to stay a little longer on the island of Liuqiu. ”
The king of Zhongshan said happily: "Great, you can not be as good as your friends, but you have to make more friends with people who are stronger than you, in that way, it is the same as being strong with yourself, as long as you really make friends with your heart."
That's what I did in Taixue back then, because that's how my father told me------ but unfortunately he died too early and I had to come back.
Since you came back, I have often dreamed of living in the Great Song Dynasty, which is truly a paradise on earth.
But if you want to learn a little more from others, that's a good thing, go ahead and show me the thing that makes it stronger with water and sand. ”
The father and son of Zhongshan Guo sincerely entertained Ambassador Hou Dongfang, which made him help them with his heart. They were taught how to operate two kinds of thermal weapons, and as for other military matters, Ambassador Hou Dongfang didn't understand what Master Zhang's family thought, so he didn't say much.
He was interested in the black sugar here, and even went to the sugarcane orchard to have a look, and found that it was the same as the planting method of the Great Song Dynasty. It seems that this place has long been good at learning from the Great Song Dynasty.
He was just about to return home when a strong wind was blowing in the Ryukyu Islands.
Everyone else is very indifferent, and in winter and summer, there are often such strong winds here, and this year it is relatively rare.
However, for Ambassador Hou Dongfang and his companions, it can be regarded as a real storm.
It was the biggest they had ever seen since they went out to sea, looking at the distant sea. It seems to be able to rush into a huge wave!
Will they rush to the shore and wash everything away?!
Fortunately, the wharf in Nakayama was a harbor that could be protected from the wind, and their sea vessels were not harmed.
In this whining wind, the prince of Zhongshan Kingdom saw that Hou Dongfang and the others looked a little unnatural, to be honest, he was still a little happy, haha, there are also things you are afraid of.
He ordered tea for everyone very calmly. The technique is very well learned.
The prince of Zhongshan Kingdom said indifferently: "This is still small, a few years ago. There used to be waves six feet high on the sea! ”
Liuzhang!
Ambassador Hou Dongfang thought to himself, he can smash the castle we are waiting for!
God, Ambassador Hou Dongfang's body is a little short------
The prince of Zhongshan said indifferently: "It is not as gentle and drizzly as it is in the south, so you can't build a bamboo building on the flat land------ unless it's in the mountains, every two seasons." There are always a lot of people who are damaged, and they always need to be rescued, and this is where you need your kind of castle, which is as solid as a rock.
As for the salt works, to the ------ of the secondary"
Ambassador Hou Dongfang thought for a moment. Sure enough, I understood why Zhang Guoan's family didn't mention corn and cassava, they couldn't withstand such a huge wind at all, and they must have been blown off before they could ripen.
After a few days, the sky cleared up and everything was peaceful.
During this period, the crown prince and his ministers were busy helping the people affected by the disaster, and Ambassador Hou Dongfang did not urge them.
At this time, he happened to take the opportunity to walk around with his companions.
He found that there were a lot of idle people here------ it was far from what the Badao estuary looked like.
Of course, the crown prince also arranged for an entourage to accompany them.
Ambassador Hou Dongfang asked the entourage.
The attendant said that there was nothing to do every winter, and the rice had been put into the warehouse, and there were still plenty of dried fish, enough to eat for a year, so what else to do?
Ambassador Hou Dongfang smiled and said: "It's better to do this way, you go to Liuqiu Island in winter to do work, and there is no problem in earning ten yuan a month------ or, you go to various small islands to dig struvite and transport it there, you will definitely earn dozens of yuan!" However, I'm afraid that the wind and waves here will be too strong------"
Laugh at! It's also called wind and waves------
The eyes of that attendant are all green, ten times for money, dozens of times for money!
His whole family didn't have twenty dollars!
The attendant cautiously asked, "Dare to ask Ambassador Hou, there are no other requirements?" ”
Ambassador Hou Dongfang thought for a moment and said: "There is one rule, you have to abide by our rules there----- you can go alone, or you can go with many people, you can do it!" ”
The attendant was overjoyed and said, "It's normal to follow the rules wherever you go!" If I organize the manpower now, can I follow Ambassador Hou? ”
"Yes!"
"Okay, let's talk to my prince next!"
This guy is really looking for the prince!
After all, it is a small country and a widow, and there are rules, but it is not so strict, it is said to be a king, but in the eyes of Ambassador Hou Dongfang, it is not as good as a county.
The prince of Zhongshan suddenly remembered this, yes, everyone there is working, and there is no one who is idle, and even women are working, so sending people to do a few months of work is still a lot of income!
At the very least, all the losses from the storm were earned.
After signing various contracts, they returned home.
The scale of their return voyage this time was increased, and at the beckoning of the prince, three thousand laborers were organized, and the retinue was promoted to the head of the chamber.
After returning safely to the southern part of Liuqiu Island, Zhang Guoan was so happy that he almost wanted to pick up this kid.
The ambassador must also be a promoter, a distributor and, if necessary, a human trafficker.
Therefore, diplomacy is nothing important, it is to seek the greatest interests for our own side.
As for dignity and face, it is something that I let others take the initiative to recognize, not something that I can brag about.
It is the time to prepare for spring ploughing, and these people are very useful, and they can be used to cultivate water and dry fields.
As the old saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way, but for Zhang Guoan, it doesn't seem to be the case, the Great Song Dynasty government can even take the initiative to send 3,000 soldiers!
He was accompanied by a letter from Pingzhang Jia Nidao.
Zhang Guoan opened it and saw that it was not a handwritten letter from Pingzhang Jia Yidao, he recognized Lao Jia's handwriting.
It seems that in Lao Jia's heart, his level is still too low. (To be continued.) )
