Chapter 135: Treasure Boy Xiao He
Three days later, Qin Er took the leaders of dozens of tribes to the place where Li Yu's fleet docked.
What is surprising is that one of these tribal leaders named Huanggang was once from Baiyue, but because he went out to sea to fish and encountered wind and waves, he was swept here by the wind and waves, and a few years later he became the leader of a clan.
Among Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 naval army, many of them were newly recruited Yue people after the Battle of Lujiang.
After learning this news, everyone no longer has to worry about the language barrier.
Through the words translated by Huang Gang, the remaining leaders initially knew that these strangely dressed people in front of them were from the country called Great Qin at the head of the ocean.
Kingdom, in the eyes of the natives of these tribes, is equivalent to the great chief of the entire island.
And thinking of this, the expressions of the indigenous leaders suddenly became yearning.
By observing the changes in the expressions of these leaders, Li Yu could conclude that they must have regarded themselves as the (great leaders) of the Great Qin Kingdom.
Therefore, Li Yugang raised his right hand, and in the eyes of these indigenous leaders, it meant to give them courage by scarfing their heads.
And then, in the surprised eyes of Li Yu and everyone, dozens of indigenous leaders, large and small, lined up to kneel in front of Li Yu, and then put their heads on Li Yu's palm......
The words that came out of his mouth, in Huang Gang's explanation, were saying: "May your courage, esteemed chief, reap more spoils for the warriors of our clan." ”
It wasn't until the end that Huang Gang put his head up to ask for blessings, and Li Yu broke free from his bewilderment, then withdrew his right hand and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Huang Gang smiled and said in Yue: "This group of Hanhan imagines you as a big leader and wants to accept your blessing." ”
???
Li Yu couldn't believe it and the others looked at his right hand, which was full of various colors of plaster paint, and the palm of his hand had been turned into color.
"Tell them that they should gather their people here and build a camp for Benhou, and they will receive my reward."
After Li Yu finished speaking, he asked Qin Er to take out a few kang cakes and handed them to Huang Gang, Huang Gang was naturally moved when he saw the kang cakes, and then shouted excitedly: "How many years have passed, my special mother finally saw the kang cakes again......"
When Huang Gang was excited and reluctant to distribute the kang cakes in his hand to many indigenous leaders, he spoke again: "Can the villain ask the adult for one thing?" ”
Li Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then guessed that this Huanggang would probably ask him to take him out of here, so he said: "You can also be regarded as a translator, as long as it is not too demanding, Benhou can agree to you." ”
Huang Gang grinned when he heard this, and bowed to Li Yu: "Thank you, my lord, I hope that my lord can give the villain some raw rice seeds, or wheat seeds." ”
……
I thought that this Huanggang had not returned home for many years, and he wanted to give him a ride, but he didn't expect to ask for seeds.
Li Yu was a little surprised: "Why don't you leave this place with Ben Hou and return home?" ”
Huang Gang listened to the translation of the Yue soldiers, his face suddenly became a little melancholy, and said: "The adults don't know, the villain has long lost his relatives in Yuedi, and on this island, he has ...... because of misfortune."
Speaking of this, Li Yu already knew that Huang Gang was afraid that he was reluctant to give up the beautiful girls in his own group, so he would explain it like this.
But people didn't want to say it, and Li Yu didn't have the time to chase after it, so he readily agreed: "Don't you just want some seeds, Ben Hou promised you." ”
"However, Benhou's seeds were not given for free."
"Please explain."
Since Huang Gang was able to become the leader of the island tribe as a shipwrecked fisherman, and was not annexed by other powerful tribes, it showed that Huang Gang himself still had some ability.
Li Yu naturally knew this, so he wanted to take Huanggang under his command and let him be a person who taught Yue and indigenous dialects, or a bridge.
And at the moment, apart from Huanggang, there is indeed no better candidate who can help Li Yu solve the problem of language barrier.
Then I heard Li Yu speak: "You are asking for seeds, you just want to cultivate food among the ethnic group, so as to change the way of life of the indigenous people, am I right?" ”
Huang Gang nodded lightly when he heard this, and said: "I am from Yue, and I know that the climate here is extremely suitable for grain cultivation, but I can't cross the sea and return to Yuedi, otherwise the villain would have already brought grain here to plant." ”
Huanggang's words couldn't help but make Li Yu think of some areas in the south in later generations, where rice could be harvested twice a year, or even three times......
If rice can really be cultivated on this island, then by increasing the number of grain harvests in a year, even if it cannot cultivate high-yield rice, it can also greatly increase the grain production of the Qin State.
Thinking of this, Li Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "If you can lead the natives to cultivate fertile land and grow rice here, this marquis will protect you with glory and wealth." ”
As soon as Li Yu's promise was spoken, Huang Gang suddenly smiled like a rotten persimmon, and hurriedly thanked him.
Among the people beside him, Xiao He, as the only clerical official of the Qin State, not only knows a lot about Qin Law, but also knows a lot about the people's farming.
As soon as he heard Li Yu and the others mention planting rice on this island, Xiao He immediately became interested, and immediately praised him: "Master Hou really shares worries for Daqin and His Majesty wherever he goes.
Most of the rice planted in Daqin is beyond the land, but there is also a small area suitable for planting, and other places are either drought or flood, and there are not a few grains of grain harvested all year round.
However, this small island is densely wooded, which means that the land is fertile, there is a lot of water, and the sun is long and the temperature is high, which is enough to increase rice yields. ”
Li Yu didn't expect that this Xiao He was still familiar with the details of rice planting, and immediately looked at it a few points higher, so he asked: "Lord Xiao still knows the art of farming?" ”
Xiao He couldn't help but smile and said: "Although Xia Guan is the head of the county government, he is familiar with Qin Law is a study within his own class, and other kinds of books are naturally often read, and this agricultural science naturally knows a little, but he is not proficient in it." ”
This is the legendary Treasure Boy?
Or rather...... Treasure old man?
Li Yu looked at Xiao He in disbelief, but the more he looked at it, the happier he became, not because Xiao He's knowledge was extensive, but because Li Yu thought of the next Hainan Island report, he would inevitably apply for a separate county.
In this way, Xiao He just happened to be arranged to be a county guard here, and Xiao He was a doorman recruited by Li Yu, and this Hainan Island was established as a county, so Li Yu was naturally relieved.
