And the reason why these former troops were very hostile to them when they communicated with the local population.

In fact, they thought that they had violated the local folklore.

The local inhabitants, with their numerous festivals, also have their own taboos.

And these advance troops do not understand this, coupled with the language barrier between the two sides, so it will cause hostility from the other side.

The two sides did not fight, even if it was the result of their considerable restraint.

However, after knowing their taboos in advance, Li Su felt that it was not very difficult to live in peace with them.

Of course, it would be a troublesome thing to tame them and make them their own people willingly.

However, Li is not too worried about this.

Because even if they don't have themselves, when the Western powers come, their fate will be quite miserable.

Facing the fate of almost being wiped out.

In fact, the pure aborigines are basically exterminated.

The offspring that are left now are all passed down through their mothers.

The paternal line, which has basically disappeared.

No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?

After the advance team returned, they prepared for another month.

This time, the pioneers of the China Commercial Bank, as well as Shangguanyi, will follow this group of personnel to the Golden State.

Yan Liben is also on the list this time.

Yizhou New City is Yan Liben's proudest design.

However, Yizhou New Town, because of the constraints of the terrain, will still be limited in construction.

And this time, Li Su told him that in the Golden State, there is a vast expanse of land.

It can allow him to build a big city, and he can fully use his imagination.

This kind of temptation is something that Yan Liben has no way to refuse.

And this idea, Li Su told him about five years ago.

Yan Liben has been designing the blueprint of this super city.

Of course, there are many design concepts that Li Su provided him.

The final blueprint is a fusion of the design concepts of the two people.

This time, Yan Li was going to personally supervise the work and realize his design concept.

In addition to Yan Liben, there was also Wu Meiniang who went this time.

When Wu Meiniang asked to go to the Golden State, Li Su actually hesitated.

Because, a woman like Wu Meiniang is born with a strong desire to control.

Li Su was afraid that Wu Meiniang would seize power in the Golden State.

Although Li Su is confident, he can completely control the overall situation.

But Li Su was not willing to eventually develop to that point.

The human heart is the most susceptible to temptation and the most untested.

The best thing to do is not to give her a chance to expand her ambitions.

But if only Shangguan Yi was there, Li Su was afraid that the same thing would happen to him.

If both of them go to the Golden State, it is just the right balance to check and balance.

Therefore, after a short period of weighing, Li Su agreed to Wu Meiniang's request.

A month later, a group of 30,000 pioneers headed straight to the Golden State.

This time, Li Su personally led the team.

The advance planning of the city must be controlled by him.

The early framework must also be built by him, and he has to go.

This time, Shangguan Wan'er brought the panda Panpan, as well as the divine dog Doudou and Xiaocai, all of whom followed on the boat.

In this way, the four major spiritual objects in Yizhou have gone to the third.

I'm afraid that the people of Yizhou will find it difficult to adapt for a while.

In his heart, Li Su wanted to take these three pets with him, and he also wanted them to stay in Yizhou.

However, these three pets already have spirituality, and when Shangguan Wan'er came out with Panpan, Doudou and Xiaocai followed, and Li Su had no choice but to take them.

Because this time, they used the latest warships, so it only took about twenty days to get along the way.

However, after 20 days of sailing on the sea, only the boundless ocean can be seen, and people will still feel very tired.

Along the way, Shangguan Wan'er wanted to find an opportunity to chat with Li Su.

But this time, because Wu Meiniang also followed, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

For some reason, Shangguan Wan'er was very afraid of Wu Meiniang.

When she saw Wu Meiniang, she would feel chills in her heart.

During this time, Li Su has been with Wu Meiniang for the longest time.

After all, in the past few years, Li Su has often gone out.

As soon as I went out, it was a few months.

Even when he was at home, there were so many ladies, and he had to make sure that the rain and dew were even, and it was impossible for him to be by Wu Meiniang's side all the time.

But now, Li Su is the only lady by her side, and she can accompany her every day.

And Wu Meiniang's favorite time to do it is to lie on the bed, hug Li Su, and let him talk about the Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Although she herself has a manuscript written by Li Su herself, I don't know how many times I have read it.

Even movies and TV series have been watched many times.

But she just wanted to hear Li Su tell her.

This long-cherished wish was born when she and Li Su were not married.

I didn't expect it to finally come true now.

"Huang Rong said, Brother Jing, don't you believe me?"

Guo Jing turned his back to Huang Rong and didn't look at Huang Rong, but said sluggishly: Demon girl, go away!"

Huang Rong bit her lip, pulled out her dagger, poof! A knife stabbed directly at Guo Jing......"

Hearing Li Su's nonsense, the angry Wu Meiniang stretched out a hand and blocked Li Su's mouth.

With the other hand, he clenched his fist and punched Li Su's chest with a small fist.

"Let you talk nonsense, let you talk nonsense, you can't tell others well!"

Li Su said helplessly: "But, this story has been told to you eight hundred times, okay?" You don't get tired of listening to it, I'm tired of talking about it. ”

Wu Meiniang hugged Li Su and said, "However, people can't hear enough!" People just want to hold their husbands like this and listen to their stories! ”

Li Yu smiled, and suddenly hugged Wu Meiniang and said: "Meiniang, it's not interesting to tell a story like this!" Otherwise, let's do something more meaningful, shall we? ”

Wu Meiniang asked in surprise: "Husband, what more meaningful things are you doing?" People, how can you not think of it? ”

Li Su smiled and said, "More meaningful things, that's it." ”

After that, Li Su turned over and pressed directly on Wu Meiniang.

……

On the sand and on the pond, the clouds break through the moon and the flowers make shadows.

I don't know how long it took for the beautiful sound in the room to die down.

Wu Meiniang was sweating all over, lying lazily in Li Su's arms, and she didn't even want to move a little finger.

Wu Meiniang said lazily: "Husband, why are you so powerful?" People can't bear it! ”

"Otherwise, you can take Wan'er's little goblin as well! The two of us don't know if we can satisfy you! ”

Syllable!

Li Su slapped Wu Meiniang directly, and couldn't help but say, "Meiniang, what are you talking nonsense?" How old is Wan'er? Don't talk nonsense. ”

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Small? Where is she small? I'm afraid it's not much smaller than others! ”

"Many girls of her age have already become biological children!"

Shangguan Wan'er is obviously much younger than Wu Meiniang, how could she say that she is not much younger than her?

Li Su was puzzled at first, but soon realized that it was estimated that Mei Niang was not talking about age, but breasts.

Wow, this female rascal.

But don't say it, Wan'er, this girl, is really quite precocious.

Although the scale is not as good as Mei Niang's, it is already not a small duck!

Bah!

Bah! Bah!

What are you thinking about here?

Wan'er is a junior, how can she be so cranky?

It's all crooked by Mei Niang!

Wu Meiniang laughed and said, "Where are people talking nonsense?" ”

She looked at her husband's eyes, and people could see it! Obviously I like my husband! ”

Li Su said with a headache: "Mei Niang, don't talk about this kind of thing in the future, she is a yellow flower girl who has not yet married." If it spreads out, it may not sound good. ”

Wu Meiniang said faintly: "However, in the past few years, the family affairs that she told her have been pushed away by herself!" Who can't see her thoughts? ”

In these years, it is about the words of the matchmaker of the parents.

But Shangguan Yi loves this granddaughter very much, and in terms of family affairs, she wants her to make her own decisions.

In the past few years, I don't know how many young handsome men have proposed marriages, but none of them have been able to enter Shangguan Wan'er's eyes.

Actually, Shangguan Wan'er has a crush on the prince.

As long as you are not blind, you can probably see it.

Only Shangguan Wan'er herself still feels that she is hiding very deeply, and no one else knows about it.

But this kind of thing, I'm afraid, is fruitless.

If the prince doesn't speak, they can't take the initiative to send their granddaughter over, right?

This generation is still splitting it!

Of course, if the prince speaks, it doesn't matter if he is a god.

In fact, Shangguan Yi also faintly hoped that this family business could be accomplished.

If it is done, Shangguan Wan'er may be the princess in the future, and their Shangguan family will be more consolidated.

But this kind of thing can't be forced for the time being.

This is also the reason why Shangguan Wan'er was bent on coming to the Golden State with her, and Shangguan Yi did not object, but adopted a tacit attitude.

Of course, this idea is not for outsiders.

And Li Su, now the lady by his side, is really a lot.

No matter how talented he is, he can't bear it.

Besides, Shangguan Wan'er, the girl, grew up under his watch.

For her, there is no trace of her daughter's personal affection in it, and it is impossible to open this mouth.

Therefore, Li Su couldn't help but say to Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, you know that this is impossible, don't mention this matter in the future." ”

Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "Husband, Wan'er is the granddaughter of Shangguan Changshi!" Moreover, people can see that Shangguan Changshi seems to be happy to see this situation. ”

"After the husband accepts Wan'er, he can make Shangguan Changshi more heartfelt! If the husband wants to achieve great things, he doesn't have to care about feelings, people think it's better to accept it! ”

Li Su raised his face and said, "I said, don't talk about this matter in the future." ”

"Yes, people know!"

Wu Meiniang's face showed disappointment, but she also quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Twenty days passed in a flash.

When they finally reached land, Li Su left 3,000 men to guard the ship.

Then he led the rest of the people, with all the supplies they had transported, to move ashore, set up tents on the shore first, and prepare to adjust for two days before setting off.

This time, Li Su brought a total of five trucks.

This truck, for so many people and so many supplies, is just a drop in the bucket.

There is no way around it, after all, the ship is so big.

If there are too many trucks, you will have to load a lot of other supplies.

And the place where they want to build a city is thousands of miles away from the coastline.

With these five trucks alone, it may take more than half a year to transport the goods alone.

And Li Su didn't want to delay for such a long time.

Therefore, Li Su decided to find a nearby tribe to help them carry their belongings.

Fortunately, the current Golden State, in fact, has a lot of aborigines.

Li Su estimated that the number was around 10 million.

Of course, the Golden State is huge, and tens of millions of people are scattered here, which is still quite sparse.

And they all exist in the form of tribes, and there are no state institutions.

Therefore, as long as it does not threaten the security of their tribe, there will be no conflict between the two sides.

And where Li Yu was preparing to build a city, there were no tribes within a radius of 100 miles.

In this way, at least in the early days of the city's construction, there will be absolutely no conflict.

In later generations, the aborigines here were massacred, and even almost wiped out.

It's because of the invaders who want to enslave and enslave the aborigines here.

And the aborigines here are very stubborn and refuse to be enslaved, which led to their tragic end.

And Li Su's purpose is not to enslave them, but to lead them to eradicate poverty and establish a country of great ethnic integration.

There is a fundamental difference.

Li Su believes that sincerity is the opening of gold and stone.

With my love, in exchange for your sincere smile.

When it really can't be exchanged, then, the golden stone can actually be opened by brute force.

Of course, which is the last choice, Li Su will not make this choice easily.

Next, Li Su is going to look for people nearby.

At the same time, Li Su also wanted to buy food from these aborigines.

If they want to settle down, they need to reclaim the land themselves.

However, if the land is reclaimed and crops are planted, there will certainly not be much harvest this year.

Self-sufficiency will not be possible until at least next year.

In the past year or two, if you rely on transporting grain from Datang, the cost of transportation will be too high.

The Golden State, on the other hand, is fertile and sparsely populated.

The food they grow will definitely not be enough.

It would be great if we could get food from them.

Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but take a team of people, took some goods, and prepared to hire people in the tribe in front.

Li Su's actions surprised Qin Huaiyu and the others.

Qin Huaiyu hurriedly dissuaded: "Lord Wang, don't! ”

"The local residents are very hostile to us and refuse to trade with us."

"Maybe when the time comes, they will snatch our goods and start a conflict with us."

Li Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen." ”

"Of course, just in case, bring a thousand soldiers."

Qin Huaiyu was not at ease, so he personally brought a thousand soldiers and followed Li Su closely.

At the same time, Wu Meiniang and Shangguan Wan'er were also very curious and followed one after another.

Li Su didn't stop them.

In a short time, they came to a tribe in front of them.

The group soon noticed that a group of aborigines in front of them, with strange masks on their faces and things in their hands, were rushing towards them.

Qin Huaiyu was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone listen to the order!" The sword is unsheathed, ready to protect the prince! ”

"Yes!"

A thousand soldiers immediately unsheathed their swords and quickly stood in front of Li Su.

Seeing this scene, Li Su couldn't help pouting slightly.

He now knew why the conflict had caused him in the first place.

Li Su waved his hand and said to Qin Huaiyu: "Quick, order them to put away their swords, people are celebrating a festival, why are you so nervous?" ”

Celebrating the holidays?

Qin Huaiyu looked up blankly, only to realize that not all of what they were holding were weapons.

Well, or rather, it's not a weapon, some people are holding mining manuscripts, and there are other strange things.

It really doesn't look like I'm here to find fault.

And the actions of the Tang army here also alarmed the original residents who were carnivaling in front.

Seeing Tang Jun's sword unsheathed and ready for battle, they immediately became nervous.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? ”

Of course, they spoke it in the local dialect, and the people on the scene, except for Li Su, no one could understand it.

Li Su, in fact, I don't understand.

But he had a system, and through the systematic translation, he quickly figured out what they meant.

Li Su walked out and said slowly: "Ao, dear friends, don't misunderstand! We are guests from afar. ”

"These friends of mine, they didn't know that you were celebrating the holiday, and they thought you were going to do us badly, so they drew their weapons."

"I think there was a misunderstanding between us! We are here with good intentions! ”

Qin Huaiyu, Wu Meiniang, and Shangguan Wan'er, hearing Li Su say something they didn't understand at all, their eyes couldn't help but stare at the boss.

What did he say, Your Highness? How can we not understand?

Could it be that he speaks the local language?

It seems that it is.

Because when Li Su spoke, the faces of the people opposite began to soften.

However, the prince has never been here?

How did he speak the local vernacular?

What a surprise to them!

Under Li Su's affairs, a thousand guards, all swords into the sheath.

And those original residents, seeing this scene, their faces also softened.

Moreover, they are full of curiosity about Li Su, who can speak their language.

"Haha, we're the most hospitable tribe, we seem to have seen your people last time."

"Aha, there was a little unpleasantness between us! But soon, you're gone. ”

"Where do you come from? What are you doing here? ”

These aborigines speak very directly and do not beat around the bush.

Li Su also likes their cheerfulness.

"Aha, we're coming from the west side of the ocean, far, far away!"

"We had some difficulties, and our tribe couldn't survive in our hometown, so we had to come here."

"We found that there is a lot of vacant land here, and we hope to put down roots here, I wonder if you will reject us?"

The native on the other side smiled and said, "Oh, my dear friend, if you can live in peace with us, of course we will not reject you!" ”

"You know what? We are the most peace-loving tribe ever! We welcome you! By the way, as a sign of hospitality, I would like to invite you to our tribe. ”

Li Yu spread his hands and said: "However, there are still some people from our clan who have not come, well, there are still forty or fifty thousand people." ”

Hearing Li Su's words, the aborigines on the other side looked a little embarrassed.

According to their hospitable habits, when friends come, they must entertain them.

But now, there is a community.

Forty or fifty thousand people, if they want to have a treat, this is too much to spend.

They just can't afford it.

But if they don't invite them, they will be stingy, and then they will feel very embarrassed.

Li Su hurriedly smiled: "By the way, I want to ask you for a favor, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The aborigines on the other side hurriedly said: "My dear friend, even if you say that as long as we can do it, we will definitely not refuse." ”

He was still feeling sad that he couldn't invite their entire clan, and now when he heard that Li Su was going to ask him for help, he didn't have the heart to agree.

Li Su smiled and said, "That's the case, when we came, we didn't bring much food. ”

"We need to reclaim the wasteland, and we will not be able to harvest food until next year."

"And we brought some goods, and we want to exchange our goods for some of your food."

"Of course, in terms of price, we will naturally make concessions."

The aborigines on the other side agreed without even thinking about it.

"It's definitely no problem, but as for how much they can exchange, it depends on whether the goods you bring can attract them."

Li Su nodded, and then ordered his subordinates to put all the goods they brought on the ground and let the rest of the aborigines watch.

When she came, Wu Meiniang specially ordered someone to bring a lot of porcelain.

Li Su asked her to take less, but Wu Meiniang was still puzzled.

And after the goods were placed on the ground, Wu Meiniang was really surprised to find out.

These aborigines are not enthusiastic about those fine porcelains that have been sold overseas.

Few people picked it up and watched.

But for their glassware, I like it very much, almost to the point of falling in love with it.

Wu Meiniang glanced at Li Su, and was even more surprised.

The husband is really away, and even the preferences of these natives are clear.

In fact, Li Su is, of course, the knowledge searched out of the system.

These aborigines, even in later generations, still like to use pottery, and are not enthusiastic about those fine porcelain.

Not to mention now.

However, they worship nature and revere its beauty.

And those glass products, which look natural, without any traces of artificial synthesis, are beautiful, and Li Su guesses that they must like it.
