Chapter 651: Thanksgiving

They also like some accessories, especially the ones that are very beautifully made and have exaggerated shapes.

Their custom is like this, they like to wear colorful feathers and wear such a showy outfit.

However, they did not like to use ornate porcelain.

In short, their lives are full of contradictions.

There are many of these goods brought by the Tang people that they like very much.

Especially what kind of ones Li Su specified to bring.

And this situation has made everyone more and more impressed with the prince.

The prince is really amazing.

I've never been to the Golden State, but I know more about this place and these people than they have been once.

He even speaks the local dialect.

The prince is only afraid, it is really a god who descends to earth.

At this time, the leader of the aborigines introduced Li Su again: "Oh, my distinguished friend, please allow me to introduce you again. ”

"My name is Sanchi, and I am the leader of our Sanchi tribe. My people, they love your wares very much. I hope we can do business with you. ”

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was actually the leader of the tribe.

And, after seeing our products, they actually took the initiative to ask to trade with us.

It's great.

What Li Su wants is to trade with them and cooperate with them.

So, Li Yu readily agreed to Sanji's request.

"Oh, dear Chief Sanchi, we are here with the mindset of mutual benefit to you."

"You will be our best friends! Doing business with you is something we love to see. Can we buy and sell your tribe's grain? ”

Sanji said happily: "Of course, we can't eat our grain, and almost every household has stored grain for several years. ”

"Every year, we eat the grain in stock and store the new grain. However, in years with a lot of rainy seasons, it is difficult to store grain. ”

"In some years, a lot of food is wasted. And, with us, the grain can't be sold. ”

"If you're willing to buy it, I think they'll welcome it."

Hearing the news, Li Su couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This land has few people, many lands, and the land is fertile.

With little to no care, a good harvest can be achieved.

In this way, every household has a surplus of food.

Everyone has it, and they can't sell it if they want to.

If it is not stored well, it is easy to spoil.

If anyone is willing to buy their food, they must be very willing.

But if there is only one tribe's food, it is still not enough.

Li Su decided to use the Sanchi tribe as a fulcrum to drive trade with other tribes.

Of course, there is no need to rush this matter.

Next, Li Su went back directly to call someone.

that they should bring a great deal of the goods they will bring.

It was in a clearing, where it was placed, and a free market was formed.

Which aborigines, seeing the dazzling array of goods brought by Datang.

Almost dazzled, they were elated, dancing, and like something.

After inquiry, they learned that these commodities could actually be exchanged for grain.

They rushed home and brought their surplus food over.

A big bag of corn, just for one hairpin.

Of course, this is not the price set by Li Su himself.

It's these aborigines who think that this card is worth the price.

Even, more than they give.

So much so that the price of this exchange made them look very embarrassed.

Moreover, the people who came to exchange were only some of the people of the Sanchi tribe.

Even so, Li Su estimated.

The food they got today is enough for them to eat for half a month.

Even if they don't farm at all, the food here in the Golden State is completely enough to feed them.

The premise is to be able to develop a good relationship with the surrounding tribes.

And Li Su feels that it is not very difficult to have a good relationship with them.

Because, Li Su believes that in a few years, these aborigines will have a disaster.

When the time comes, he may have to act as their savior.

After the transaction, both parties were very satisfied.

Sanji set up a banquet to invite Li Su and his party.

Of course, it was just a banquet for a dozen of them.

If forty or fifty thousand people were to feast together, Sanchi felt that their entire tribe would immediately fall into poverty.

After the feast, the hospitable aborigines sang and danced very happily.

In the evening, Sanji warmly invited Li Su to stay with their tribe for the night.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Su agreed.

As a result, just when Li Su was assigned to the house and was about to sleep.

Then he saw Sanchi leading a woman into the house.

Sanji pointed to the woman and introduced to Li Su: "This is my wife, her name is Bailing, she is yours tonight, I wish you all a good time." ”

After saying that, Sang Ji looked at Wu Meiniang excitedly.

At this time, Li Su suddenly remembered a custom of these aborigines.

They don't value chastity.

A group of very good friends, they will swap wives for the night, and consider it a testimony of friendship.

Sanji came this time to exchange with himself?

I've got a big groove!

Don't say it's an exchange, even if you simply send your wife over, I won't agree.

So, Li Su Zhengse said to Sanji: "Chief Sanji, according to the customs of our Tang Dynasty, between husband and wife, you must be loyal, and once you get married, you are absolutely not allowed to have an affair with other people." ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Sanji said unhappily: "Li Su, do you look down on me and don't treat me as a friend?" ”

Li said solemnly: "Chief Sanchi, I treat you as a friend and respect your customs very much. But, in the same way, you have to respect our customs. ”

"Respect is mutual, isn't it? This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen in our Datang! I'm really sorry! ”

Sanchi's face froze, but soon, his face returned to normal.

"Oh, Li Su, my friend, I'm so sorry. Let's leave, hoping that this incident will not affect our friendship. ”

With that, Sanchi took his wife and left.

After they left, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but ask curiously, "What were you talking about just now?" ”

Li Su looked at Wu Meiniang with a strange expression, and said with a smile: "Just now, the leader of Sanji wanted to exchange wives with me for the night!" ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Wu Meiniang's face turned red, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "Husband, they are so rude, it's too much." ”

"No, no! Are they trying to provoke us to do us bad? ”

"Now we are in the tiger's den, husband, let's go quickly, I'm afraid that they will do it to us soon!"

Li Yu laughed, grabbed Wu Meiniang, and said to her: "Meiniang, don't be too careful. In your opinion, it is very rude. ”

"But with them, it's a normal thing, they don't value chastity at all. It is very normal to have good friends and exchange wives for the night. ”

Wu Meiniang's small mouth opened wide, and she asked in shock: "This, how is this possible?" ”

"How can husbands tolerate such a thing?"

Li Su shook his head and said: "This is a matter of customs, we regard their customs as flood beasts and treat them as barbarians." ”

"As everyone knows, some of our customs are also difficult for them to accept! So, it's just a matter of mutual benefit. ”

Listening to Li Su's words, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long time, Wu Meiniang couldn't help asking: "Husband, these original inhabitants must be difficult to subdue them, right?" ”

Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Su couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This is also where Li Su is worried.

To be honest, these aborigines are very simple and hospitable.

For them, Li Su is the outsider.

And they are very stubborn, and if they want to subdue them, the difficulty is really not ordinary.

Otherwise, when the Western powers came to the Golden State, they would not have carried out genocide and then did not hesitate to transport blacks from Africa to work.

However, Li Su is different from the Western powers.

After a while, Li Su couldn't help but say to Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, you can rest assured, they will use us in many places." ”

And, in a few years, they might have a big disaster. When the time comes, it's time to subdue them. ”

"A few years from now, they're going to have a big disaster? How did the husband know? ”

Li Su smiled mysteriously, and then said, "Can the husband not know if the prophet will work?" ”

Seeing that Li Su didn't say anything, Wu Meiniang didn't ask more.

But I still wonder in my heart, in a few years, these aborigines will have a big disaster? What kind of disaster is it?

……

The next day, Li Su proposed to Sanji that he wanted to hire their people and help them transport things.

Li Su will pay them a lot of commissions.

They have no shortage of money, or commodities.

After all, what are the beautiful things that these aborigines love.

In Datang, it is actually the most worthless thing.

Li Su brought a lot of this stuff.

If they can sell it all, they will have enough food to eat for ten years.

Sanji readily agreed to Li's request.

In addition, Sanchi also said that if he does not have enough food in the future, he can also help him exchange food for other tribes.

In the Sanchi tribe, Li Su hired more than 1,000 people to help them transport goods.

More than a thousand people, for their huge supplies, is completely a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, there are carriages in the tribe, which at least solves part of the problem of insufficient transportation.

At the same time, Sanchi was also in contact with several surrounding tribes.

If five or six thousand wagons can be mobilized, the speed of transporting goods will be greatly accelerated.

Next, Li Su took five trucks, loaded with some tents and other things, and drove first.

The journey of more than 1,000 miles is actually only a day for five trucks.

And the destination, is a wilderness.

Of course, more than 1,000 years later, this is an extraordinarily prosperous and well-known city.

There are no people within a radius of dozens of miles around here.

Li Su decided to build the capital here.

For the indigenous people, building a city here poses no threat to them, and they will not use force.

And after they have built the city, they can slowly assimilate them.

It's just that the living conditions of the aborigines here are too good.

For they have fertile land, and they have no trouble eating and drinking.

There are still some difficulties in hiring them.

But it doesn't matter, I believe that it won't be long before they will take the initiative to come to the door.

……

The first batch of materials arrived, and in the following time, Li Yu first organized people to collect stones and burn cement.

Then some people were allocated to go to the nearby mines to mine iron ore and make steel.

And then there is another part, ready to fire the glass.

Materials such as cement, steel bar, and glass, Li Su basically did not use giant ships to transport.

Naturally, it is also capable of transporting.

But how many raw materials do you need to build a city?

If all of them need to be transported, it will take a hundred years to build the city.

These materials, of course, are good for local materials.

In addition to these people, Li Yu organized the rest of the people to build wooden houses.

It's cold, but it's not yet the rainy season.

Living in a tent, naturally, there is no problem.

But once the rainy season begins, people can't continue to live in tents.

Therefore, it is very necessary to build a wooden house first as a temporary housing bureau.

It only took half a month to build these wooden houses.

The reason why it can have such a fast speed is because of the abundant resources around it, and it can basically be used locally.

And the reason why Li Su chose to build a city here is also for this purpose.

These wooden houses, Li Su divided them.

There are residential areas, there are commercial areas, and there is also a medical area.

After all this is done, the construction of the entire city can begin.

Of course, they started to build underground drainage works.

This project is also a huge project.

Li Su wants to build this city into a huge city.

If the underground drainage project is not done well at the beginning, it will be difficult to rectify it later.

Therefore, Li Su decided to do the best underground drainage project at the beginning.

In order to avoid problems in the future.

However, after the construction was carried out, Li Su found that he seemed to have underestimated the difficulty of urban construction.

The construction of this underground drainage project alone will not take three or five years.

The construction of a city is indeed not as simple as he imagined in advance.

During this time, Li Yu also bought some modern machinery such as bulldozers, excavators and loaders from the mall.

With these machines, I believe that the progress of the project can be further accelerated.

Of course, the construction of a city is not achieved overnight.

In fact, Li Su can do it, build a part of the underground drainage system, and then build it on top.

It can be pushed forward one by one.

In this way, a lot of initial development time can be saved.

As for the later stage, the establishment of a city can always attract more people.

When the time comes, the speed of construction will naturally accelerate.

It's just that the early construction is too slow.

……

And at this time, a catastrophe is spreading in the Golden State.

This time, it was the spread of viral influenza.

Of course, this is what later generations say.

At the time, it was called a malignant cold.

Such disasters are not uncommon.

In more than ten years, or decades, you can always meet once.

And once it happens, countless people will die of this disease.

The lifespan of ancient people was very low.

Basically, it was the people who died in the war, as well as the children who died in infancy and those who died of disease.

In ancient times, why did the people encourage children so much?

There will even be rules on how old a girl must be married.

If you don't get married, you will be fined, or you will be directly forced to marry your in-laws.

It's because there are too many people who died young.

An epidemic, a plague, will take away a large number of people.

In the West, a plague can destroy even a country.

This time, this malignant cold is also menacing.

Once infected, it will have a runny nose, cough and phlegm, rapid fever, weakness, and a high fever that is difficult to go away.

Once infected, he will stay in bed for at least seven or eight days, and his condition will gradually worsen, and it will be difficult to stand up again.

Moreover, this disease is also contagious.

In the team brought by Li Su, some people were infected.

This time, though, they brought a lot of drugs, especially aspirin -

Well, of course it's not called that now.

Li Su gave a localized name, Liu Soul.

Aspirin, almost a panacea.

It has curative effects for almost all diseases.

Of course, it is usually necessary to combine it with other drugs.

But a drug with such a wide range of uses and such obvious effects is really the only one, and there is no semicolon.

And now it is not like the future generations, where drugs are used indiscriminately, resulting in stronger drug resistance to the virus.

There's not that much resistance now.

Therefore, this willow soul, for now, is really a miracle medicine.

Of course, Li Su did not allow this medicine to be prescribed easily.

Now Liu Soul is not to the point of abuse.

Therefore, the role of the willow soul is still very powerful now.

After using the Willow Soul, these infected people quickly returned to normal.

But at this time, which aborigines of the Golden State, at this time, were infected countless people.

At this time, the Golden State is simply full of sorrow.

And Li Su has long expected this.

On this day, Li Su came directly to the Blue Bird Tribe, the closest tribe to them.

These tribes are some distance from them.

Usually, they don't have much interaction.

Moreover, they were resistant to Li Su building a city very close to them.

Therefore, when they saw Li Su with a team of people arriving in a carriage, all of them became vigilant.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

Li Su stood up and said loudly: "I heard that someone in your tribe is sick, and we are here to help you!" ”

"What? Are you here to help us? Can you cure this typhoid fever? ”

Li Su said loudly: "Our partners have been infected with this disease, and after taking medicine, they are all getting better, I believe you can too." ”

After hearing Li Su's words, they were both excited and ashamed.

I was excited that there were drugs that could cure the disease.

And the shame is that when people come, they are still hostile to others and have a bad attitude.

But people don't care about their past suspicions, but they take the initiative to help them.

This made the people of the Blue Bird Tribe feel very frightened.

Next, their men immediately welcomed Li Su into the tribe.

And Li Su began to distribute willow souls to those who were sick.

These patients have never eaten Willow Soul.

Therefore, after taking Willow Soul, the effect is very amazing.

After taking it, almost an hour later, you can feel that the condition has become lighter and there is a significant improvement.

The people of the Blue Bird Tribe were all pleasantly surprised.

At the same time, I am also grateful to Li Su to the extreme.

They set up a sumptuous feast, prepared to feast Li Su, and prepared to sing and dance.

But these were all politely rejected by Li Su.

After leaving them with enough medicine, Li Su floated away.

"I don't know how many people are still suffering in this land, and I want to save them."

What great people! What a noble man!

This time, Li Su really didn't count the cost.

Even the construction period under construction has been stopped.

He sent a large contingent of men and horses, facing in all directions.

But wherever there are tribes, all send people to send medicine.

In order to prevent language barriers and misunderstandings in communication.

Just let these people, each carry a tape recorder.

When you get to the place, you can turn on the tape recorder whenever you need to communicate with people.

There is a local dialect recorded by Li Su on it.

"We are a tribe from Datang, we have medicine that can treat you, this time, we are here to send medicine."

Next, there is the dosage of medication and dietary attention.

Because this time, Li Su brought a lot of medicines.

Originally, these drugs could be used for at least two or three years.

But this time, they were all sent out.

And because they delivered it in a very timely manner.

And the medicinal effect of the willow soul is very amazing.

This directly led to the fact that in this outbreak of the plague, not many people died.

This is an absolutely incredible thing for these indigenous people.

Of course, these aborigines are kind and hospitable.

And they know how to be grateful.

Among their festivals, there is a Thanksgiving.

Of course, in the afterlife, there will also be a Thanksgiving.

This Thanksgiving is actually extended from these aborigines.

Of course, the kind of Thanksgiving in later generations has basically nothing to do with them.

And their Thanksgiving does not have a specific date.

And now, they held a Thanksgiving Day for the Tang Shu King.

This time, they were truly grateful.

Because the king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty sent them life-saving medicines at the moment when their lives were in danger.

But they didn't take a penny, and they gave it all for free.

This kindness is too great.

It's so big that it makes those aborigines feel like they can't be rewarded.

And when they learned that the city was originally being built.

In order to help them, they even gave up their own construction, and everyone went out, after sending them medicine thousands of miles away.

Their gratitude is even more like a surging river, endless.
