Section 9: The moon is born on the sea
Hou Jie's words made Liu Ren's seven orifices angry, and the cement was just that, why did he bring stones over? What is the idea of what does the Lingnan fleet think? Quarrying boats?
Hou Jie spread out his palms and said helplessly: "I really can't stand those natives digging the ground and digging stones with ivory and sandalwood, after a requiem city is built, the price of damaged tools exceeds the value of the city itself, so I'd rather you bring me stones than watch a group of ragged losers work." “
Liu Renyuan laughed when he heard this, and slapped Hou Jie's shoulder, very happy for him, this kid finally came out of the haze of his father's death, and those who can joke at this time will definitely be able to live strongly.
beckoned to his guards, and immediately a large box was carried over, and he took the key from his neck and slapped it in Hou Jie's hand and said: "You are about to get married, the old lady specially asked those uncles and brothers in Chang'an City for gifts for you early, they are all here, don't look at me here, be careful that I have bad intentions." Good guy, your Hou family still can't fall down after all. “
Hou Jiemo held the bronze key in his hand and said to Liu Renyuan with a smile: "These are all heroes and heroes that my father made friends with back then, so there are endless blessings for our descendants, I only hope that my children and grandchildren can also get the blessings and generous gifts of their elders, Lao Liu, let's encourage together." “
Liu Ren smiled and sent Hou Jie off the ship without speaking, he is now in a military emergency, he must make all the precautions before the mountain goat crosses the strait, and several military bases also need to be reviewed one by one.
After a day of parallel between the fleet of the Lingnan Navy Division and Hou Jie's fleet, one to the south and the other to the west, Hou Jie needed to rush to Requiem City and start to establish order there according to the model provided by Yun Ye, and the Shunmin and the rebels on the entire Java Island needed to be distinguished, and most importantly, to create an identity distinction among these natives.
If only the Tang people ruled from above. Sooner or later, such a society will collapse, and a society that cannot meet the wishes of the majority is doomed to not last, so there must be two or three buffer classes between the Tang and the natives, and this part of the population does not need many, and thirty percent of the entire population is enough, and the rights do not need much. It is enough to be able to enslave the remaining natives, and from now on, the Tang people will put away their bloody horizontal knives and begin to show their kindness to these natives with a smile.
The executors of future killings will be those natives who first followed the Tang people to fight, they don't have to be exploited, they are all vested interests, Hou Jie would love to see a dark-faced native, speaking fluent Chang'an Mandarin and debating with the elite disciples of the academy.
History is robust, not to mention the fact that these natives have not yet derived their own scripts, and their language has only a few bytes. Under the invasion of the dominant civilization of the Tang Dynasty, it will not take a generation for the primitive ideas they believe in to be assimilated and even the scum will not be left, a society with a rudimentary civilization, and the barbaric jungle culture will become mortal enemies, and will not be transferred because of the individual, there is such a simple description in the social science of the academy, the gentleman who studied the wolf pack is indeed a great talent, he can see through the essence of society at a glance. He already has the bearing of a grandmaster.
Requiem City is the most splendid complex on the island, although it is not as prosperous as the more prosperous county of the Central Plains. But in this land, it is already a god-like glorious existence.
The main body of the Tang people was still maritime merchants, they exchanged their goods with each other in this big city, and countless ships were densely moored in the new port, and Hou Jie knew that there must be spies sent by the emperor here. He didn't deliberately hide it, Requiem City wanted to make a deal with the mainland, and he couldn't avoid the emperor's eyes that were sharper than the eagle falcon, so he didn't have to carry the nobles out, he just needed to let the emperor know that this was a safe place for sinners like himself to be beaten down with punches and kicks.
The forces of the Tang Dynasty can't reach here. Controlling Annam is already the limit of the empire's power, and the emperor also knows this truth, and he also feels very honored to have a city on the ocean with the Tang people as the main body, and in his opinion, when the time is ripe, he only needs to send a few officials to complete the control of this city.
What he didn't understand was that the nobles had already reached a contract, that is, the officials of Requiem City could only be from the sons of the nobles, and the others would definitely not have any chance.
Requiem, requiem, and peace is not only the horror of those maritime merchants, but also the souls of those nobles who failed in the struggle in Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty.
Hou Jie looked at Hou Hu lying on the bed, constantly scratching his head, the academy taught him almost all life skills, but did not teach him to comfort and take care of his young brother, a twelve-year-old boy, simply unable to adapt to the change from heaven to hell, looking at his thin brother lying on the bed, his face flushed, and constantly calling his mother, which made him unacceptable at all.
The men of the Hou family are all iron men, this sentence is easy to say, it is difficult to do it, Hou Jie thinks that he and Hou Ying can definitely afford it, but for a pampered young boy since childhood, it is indeed very difficult.
He and Hou Ying were both soaked out of the big dye vat in the academy, and they had long been trained by the devil academy, whether it was a rich environment or a hard life, they could adapt to it, especially for people like themselves who had been through the sweat mountain in the academy, it was not a big deal to endure hardship, but Xiaohu had been pampered by his aunt since he was a child, and he had never suffered a little.
Ringing and jingling, a woman in full costume appeared, from the hair to the silk silk on the skirt was not messed up at all, she was waiting for her newlywed husband in the room, it had been three days, her husband still had not arrived, she was a little sad, knowing that she was not worthy of the eldest son of Chen Guogong in the past regardless of her identity or appearance, even if the Hou family declined, no one dared to underestimate it, not to mention that this heroic man had laid a big territory overseas.
She is very smart and knows a lot, she even heard from the mouthy aunt of the Hou family that the woman her husband used to love is the proudest peony in Chang'an City, although she is dressed in a dress, no amount of white powder can hide her dark complexion, which is the evil result of the family's exile in Lingnan.
I thought that her husband was borrowing wine to drown his sorrows or miss his former lover, so he gritted his teeth and left the new house to find his husband, but found that he was clumsily taking care of his younger brother, which made her immediately happy, what a good excuse, it turned out that he was not missing anyone, but taking care of his younger brother.
"Madam, you're here, it's just right, Xiaohu is sweating all over his body after eating a little more grape wine tonight, you can help me take a look, I really can't take care of people." Seeing Feng Niang coming, Hou Jie was pardoned.
"Husband, Xiaohu's body doesn't matter, Lingnan is already hot, it's even hotter here, ice is added to the grape wine, Xiaohu is greedy for a few cups, his spleen and stomach are weak, and it is normal to sweat a little, as long as you pay attention not to blow the wind, it will be fine tomorrow morning." Feng Niang leaned down and took the towel in Hou Jie's hand and gently helped Xiaohu wipe his sweat, and her technique was extremely skillful.
The wedding night of the husband and wife was spent in the process of taking care of their younger brother, seeing Xiaohu finally fall asleep, Hou Jie breathed a sigh of relief, poured two glasses of grape wine and handed it to Feng Niang a cup and said: "We have lived up to the beautiful scenery of the good day, I'm sorry, let's make it up later, if our wedding in Chang'an is a hundred times more lively than here, and a hundred times more glorious, but unfortunately it is yesterday's yellow flowers can not be mentioned again." “
Hou Jie touched the wine glass to Feng Niang's wine glass, drank it all, Feng Niang looked at Hou Jie blankly and didn't know what it meant, Hou Jie laughed and grabbed Feng Niang's hand, poured a full glass of wine into Feng Niang's mouth, saw that she kept coughing, laughed more and more, laughed for a while, and saw Feng Niang's face blushing with shame, so he stopped laughing and said.
"This is a clinking ceremony, it is very popular in the academy, you have not been in Chang'an, so I don't know, I will teach you a little bit in the future, I have no chance to go back to Chang'an, but you have, Chang'an, my Hou family still has some properties in the hands of uncles and brothers, you still have to receive, and dealing with their relatives is inevitable, now let's see it first."
Feng Niang's eyes widened, why would a family who had committed the crime of rebellion and had their house raided still have an estate, wouldn't those uncles and brothers take the opportunity to swallow it up?
Hou Jie saw that Feng Niang was surprised, and immediately understood her thoughts, sat on the window frame and looked at Mingyue on the sea and said: "The Hou family's experience is different from your family, those uncles and brothers are all close friends of your father, your family's property will be swallowed up by others, the Hou family will not, they are not ashamed enough to do this, so the Hou family's property will definitely be good, the dividends that should be paid, and the profits will not be less, as long as you go, they will immediately liquidate it to you in the same way, and it may be more than it should be." “
The moon outside the window was shining, Hou Jie suddenly became interested, grabbed Feng Niang's slender waist and hugged her and sat on the window frame together, Feng Niang instinctively wanted to scream, and suddenly remembered that Xiaohu, who had just fallen asleep, immediately covered his mouth, felt Hou Jie's hot body, and his whole body had become soft.
Holding his lover to appreciate the bright moon, this is Hou Jie's dream for a long time, that fairy-like woman no longer belongs to him, so he might as well let go of the woman who is holding him and look at the moon, it's not bad.
Only Chang'e in the moon may know what she is thinking. (To be continued......)
