August of the 10th year of Hongwu.

In order to speed up the pace of reunification, Yang Hao invited Ren Yu, the still chief, to talk with Chang'an.

When the Qi people proposed to lease the land of Laiyi as a port, although Ren Yu didn't know what the port was and was a little ambiguous about the lease, he still agreed without hesitation.

Now he is extremely indifferent to Youyi's situation, he just wants to be the last leader, and fight for more rights and interests for his subjects before integrating into the Qi State.

Although there are now Ren people who have successively migrated their tribes, settled on the border of Qi, or directly joined Qi.

But he didn't stop it from happening.

Although they are nominally independent, to be precise, their existence is like a highly self-controlled regime in the Qi State.

In the eyes of people outside the two sides, Ren Ren is part of the Qi State.

No matter what outsiders think, Yang Hao still gives Ren Yu a lot of face.

Since it is said that it is a lend-lease, what should be given must be given, and the treaty must be signed.

Under the offensive of the Great Qi copper coin materials, there are still internal parties who almost agreed to this incident with both hands and feet.

After agreeing on the matter of lend-lease, two months later, in October of the tenth year of Hongwu, the Qi State selected the location of the port in Laiyi and named it Penglai.

The construction of Penglai Port is good news for the locals.

Recruiting workers from Qi requires a lot of wages, and Yang Hao is unwilling to let the already nervous farmers put down their hoes to do these hard work.

Originally, the people of Laiyi were hired by Benqi at extremely low prices, although most of them did not even have wages, only two full meals a day, but for such backward tribesmen who could not eat, this was a good thing for pie in the sky.

But although these people are cheap, they are far from the Qi people in terms of obedience, but the Qi people are not good men and women, although they do not abuse them like slaves, but they will not give a good look.

If the daily workload is not completed, the amount of food will be reduced, and if you don't change it, it will come and go.

And those who were kicked out of the construction site, after leaving, the Qi Congress used its own unique propaganda methods to severely criticize these people, so that they could stand on the moral high ground.

The tribesmen, who are accustomed to being free and easy, have no power to resist in the face of the gradually improving management system of Qi State, so they can only work on the construction site honestly according to the plan.

While the port was being built in the north to eliminate the troubles in the south in one fell swoop, Qi's communication to Sanmiao had spread across the land of the Miao people.

The angry Miao people saw this as a great shame, and some radicals shouted for a bloody battle with the Qi people.

But most of the upper-level Miao people don't want to start a war with the Qi people, for them, on the one hand, they are not the opponents of the Qi people, and they will definitely not have any good results by fighting hard, and they have gained a lot of benefits from the trade of the Qi people over the years.

The silk they wore, the wine they drank, and the exquisite utensils they wore were all exchanged for them from the Qi people.

If there is a fight, these things will probably be gone forever.

However, the Qi people's request is too rude, if they accept it like this, it is really difficult to explain to the clansmen, and the prestige of the people at the bottom will be greatly reduced.

After discussion, although the Miao people agreed to hand over the lawbreakers who attacked Daqi, they put forward a new demand, that is, to add several options to the category of materials traded by the Miao people.

Bronze and iron are some of the new additions.

How could the Qi people agree to such a thing, without waiting to report to Yang Hao, the Jingzhou Assassin Shi severely rebuked the arrogant ideas of the Miao people, and once again reaffirmed the decision of the Great Qi court.

It is stipulated that Miao people must hand over the culprit within the specified time limit, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

Moreover, the southern army began to make the illusion of movement in order to put pressure on the Hmong.

Sure enough, as Taizu said, all reactionaries are paper tigers, and the Miao people wanted to move the Qi people seriously, and they immediately panicked, hurriedly killed all the people of that tribe, and handed over a pile of cold corpses to the Qi people.

That's right, what was handed over to the Qi people was a pile of corpses.

When the Qi people saw this, they were immediately angry.

In the middle of October of the tenth year of Hongwu.

Chang'an ordered tariffs to be imposed on all traded goods of the Miao people, and economic sanctions were imposed on the Miao people.

The big stick of sanctions was waved, and the Miao people were caught off guard.

Such a comical operation, not to mention that they have seen it, they have never heard of it, and they don't know how to deal with it.

The sanctions imposed by the Qi State aroused the hostility of the Miao people against the Qi people.

At the end of the tenth year of Hongwu.

There are Miao tribes brazenly launched an attack on the gathering place in the south of the Qi country.

It's just that this small group of Miao people burned, killed and looted, which immediately angered the southern defenders.

The revenge of the Qi people came extremely fast, and before the Miao people could enjoy the pleasure of looting, they were killed by the retaliated Qi people into the lair.

Nearly 1,000 people of this Miao tribe were slaughtered, and none of them were spared.

The high Jingguan stands on this land, and the rapid blows of the Qi people. Immediately shocked the Miao people.

Soon the Miao gathered the leaders of the various ministries to discuss how to deal with the crisis.

In the end, the Miao people sent envoys to make amends to the Qi State and offered a large number of gifts to show their sincerity.

Qi State half-pushed and half-agreed to the apology of the Miao people, but as a punishment, all the Miao people's land that had been in turmoil before was returned to Qi State.

Miao Renzhi gritted his teeth and accepted Qi Ren's unreasonable demands.

But the impact of this incident did not end there, and the voice of the main battle in Qi was rising day by day.

Even in the border cities in the south, many shops are reluctant to exchange things for the Miao people, and their hostile attitude leads to bloody clashes.

However, under the suppression of the Qi court, the situation did not deteriorate further.

Just when the people of Qi did not understand why the imperial court was so soft on the Miao people, the Qi State had already begun to lay out.

In the port of Chang'an City, while the river was not yet frozen, all the few ships of the Qi State were conscripted, and they were always trained to log in and blockade the riverbank.

Although Chang'an did not formally establish a naval army, it already had preliminary plans.

As long as the sailors have thoroughly mastered the skills of navigation, the navy will not be far from being formally established.

For Yang Hao, the navy is not only a tool to conquer the Miao people, but also an exploration of the world.

Although China is large, it is relatively not rich in resources, especially the quality of minerals is not good.

Although the South Seas are a bunch of islands, he knows where the rich treasures are buried.

In order to obtain these treasures, you must at least have the ability to sail inshore to have a chance to reach them.

As for the development there, it was not in his mind, all he wanted was to plunder all the land in sight, and accumulate wealth as quickly as possible.
