Chapter 374: Asking Your Majesty for a Name
The people at the entrance of the farming hall, no matter where they go, always want to scratch the ground twice, and don't plant something as if there is no way to live this day.
Zhu Yujian is now guilty of the disease of dying if he doesn't plant something.
In Zhu Yujian's view, like those countries in the South Seas, they can be harvested three times a year, as if there is no winter, so this big island is further south in the south, and it must not be four crops a year?
It's July and August, no matter how slow Zheng Zhilong's speed at sea is, it's almost the same as running a round trip in two months.
When the time comes, we will plant it here and see if the harvest is good.
Zheng Zhilong arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, if there are people on this island, it is estimated that there will still be a certain danger, it is better to build the city first, and as for the seeds, let's talk about it later?" β
According to Zheng Zhilong's idea, the most important thing is to find a way to run a few more times and get more people from the Ming Dynasty to come over.
After all, as long as there are people on the island, it is unlikely that they will have the same heart as Tang Wang and them - Tang Wang and they are here to grab territory, can the original forces be willing?
As long as you don't want to, then you have to fight to the death and divide the winner and loser.
So now the seeds are not seeds, in fact, they are the second, and the first one is to get more people from the Ming Dynasty to come over, and these people are the ones who have the same heart as the Tang King.
Zhu Yujian said: "It's okay, let's get craftsmen and seeds first, let's build a city to live in first, and then advance to the center of the island."
If the people of this island can accept us, then forget it, if not, it will be just a group of monkeys that have just come down from the trees, and they will be slaughtered. β
Zheng Zhilong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Why does His Royal Highness King Tang sound so familiar? Also monkeys? Is it slaughtered?
Zheng Zhilong did not oppose Zhu Yujian's plan in the end.
Anyway, now this piece of land is obviously seen by Zhu Yujian, as long as he writes a letter to Emperor Chongzhen, it is estimated that this piece of land can be owned by the Tang King, as long as he does not plan to raise the flag to rebel, there is no need to offend the Tang King Zhu Yujian at this time.
Zhu Yujian's interest is indeed quite sufficient now, and it may be an exaggeration to say that he has been beaten with chicken blood, after all, he has just experienced the dragon absorbing water before, and he almost lost his life.
But it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm excited.
Such a large island, even if half of the area can be used for farming, it is estimated that it can catch up with several political envoys of the Ming Dynasty.
Now that he has become the master of this land, even if he wants to share this big island with Zhu Zhuohong and Zhu Cunji, he is also a real emperor of the soil.
Not excited? Impossible.
When Zheng Zhilong went to Zhang Luo to unload the goods, Zhu Yujian also ordered: "Go, take all our people off the ship, let his people of Admiral Zheng arrange the unloading first, and our people will go to the logging and camping first." β
The forests on the big island, especially the one that led to the cabin, were a bad luck.
The hut looked like it had not been inhabited for many years, so the forest had not been cut down for many years.
Today, there is such a group of bastards who don't pay attention to environmental protection, and the thing of setting fire to the mountain has not been done, but the straight, especially wide passage from the beach to the location of the log cabin has been cut out.
Moreover, there are more than 7,000 of these guys, close to 8,000, and they have no scruples about cutting down trees, and they have to worry about the problem of bears like bald heads.
The felled trees were not wasted, and they were dragged to the location of the hut to set up a tent.
As for the unlucky little animals during the period?
Some can't save their fate even if they look cuteβthey die first, and then they peel them.
Part of it is roasted, part of it is boiled, and some of it is sliced and then fried, in short, taste the taste first, it is toxic and non-toxic.
Even the snakes in the woods did not escape being eaten.
As the passage opened up little by little, Zhu Yujian became more and more satisfied.
It's hard to judge what the land is like here, I haven't planted it myself.
But there are a lot of trees here, as well as those small animals or something, even if Zheng Zhilong and they rest for two months in Daming and then come back, just relying on the fish and those small animals, they can't starve to death.
After arranging for someone to find a water source, Zhu Yujian went shopping with Zhu Zhuohong, Zhu Cunji, and Zheng Zhilong.
After finding a small hill, several people climbed to the top together.
At the end of the eye, it's still the land, not the sea, which makes people even happier.
Zhu Yujian simply said to Zhu Zhuohong and Zhu Cunji: "What do you two think?" Are we together, or are we going our separate ways? β
Zhu Zhuohong wanted to develop the territory quickly by himself, but he really didn't have the courage.
The initial courage had been exhausted when the dragon sucked water before.
After thinking about it, Zhu Zhuohong said: "Let's go with Uncle Wang first, now the three of us haven't arrived yet, and only seven or eight thousand people will be scattered again, and it will be difficult to deal with anything if something happens."
Why don't you get together in one place, solve the accommodation problem here, and then think about the next thing after you have a campsite? β
Zhu Cunji also agreed: "That's right, now our manpower is scattered, in case we meet the aborigines on the island, it is not easy to do, it is better to have a camp first, and then find a piece of land after the manpower has arrived." β
Zhu Yujian can be regarded as seeing through these two scumbags.
Zhu Zhuohong is timid, and Zhu Cunji's courage is not much stronger, and it is worse than Zhu Cunshu.
However, there is some truth in what these two scumbags said, seven or eight thousand people are scattered under the hands of three people, and the average person is only more than two thousand, in case of tens of thousands of aborigines, it is estimated that it will be bullied.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yujian said: "In this case, let's wait patiently here, and wait for Admiral Zheng to send the rest of the manpower over before making another plan."
In addition, this place was first discovered by this king, and it should be owned by this king, and when the time comes, the two princes and nephews should not blame me, who is an uncle of the king, for not paying attention to it. β
You're so fucking exquisite!
Zhu Zhuohong and Zhu Cunji muttered together in their hearts, that is, even Zheng Zhilong had the same idea in his heart - to say that it was I Lao Zheng who first discovered this big island! It's not you, His Royal Highness King Tang!
Zhu Yujian didn't care.
As a vassal king who has been with Emperor Chongzhen for the longest time, Zhu Yujian also clearly realized a truth - the thing on his face is used to wipe the table, and the rest of the fart is useless.
Only the benefits are real.
Just like the current situation, they have occupied a lot of territory first, and the dock here will also be their own in the future, even if they make other ones, they will inevitably take advantage of it because of their early advantage, right?
So you can't ask for this thing when you don't want it.
Zheng Zhilong was very glad that he didn't encounter any trouble on his return journey.
Whether it was a strong wind or a dragon absorbing water, he didn't encounter it, but returned to Songjiang Mansion safely.
Emperor Chongzhen also stayed in Songjiang Mansion and did not return to the capital.
originally thought that Zheng Zhilong and they would have to take two or three months to return for a trip, but they didn't think that even two months would be useless, and they would come back!
Looking at Zheng Zhilong in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen said: "The identity cards of more than 1,000 soldiers will be handed over to Jinyi Wei first, and then sent to the Martyrs' Shrine for worship."
Even if these people don't die fighting for the country, they can be regarded as dying for the country, and I can't let them end up. β
After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen instructed: "Go back and count the information of these soldiers, and pay compensation according to the standard of the dead." β
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, Zheng Zhilong was also disgusted.
Before Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the standard of pension was dispensable, anyway, there were not a few taels of buried silver.
If some local rules pay more attention to what kind of death is like a waiter, then the buried silver sent down may not be enough for the funeral.
But after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, this situation changed completely.
The first is to burn and bury silver, according to Emperor Chongzhen, it is to compensate for silver, but whether it is an official or a soldier, he still likes to call it buried silver.
The amount of buried silver was directly increased from ten taels to one hundred taels.
That's ten times as much.
According to the average family's annual cost of ten taels of silver, it is enough to spend seven or eight years, or even more.
There is also the Martyrs' Shrine.
Emperor Chongzhen said that if the Ming Dynasty is not extinguished, the incense of the Martyrs' Shrine will not be extinguished.
What are the Han people most afraid of?
What I'm most afraid of is not that there will be no incense and blood food after death?
Even if it is an ordinary family, if there are only daughters and no sons, then others will be doomed when they talk about it.
The so-called desperation means that there is no one to continue the incense and blood.
And with the Martyrs' Shrine, even if the bones and blood are broken, the incense will not be broken.
If these two points are based on alone, Zheng Zhilong is actually acceptable.
The real big head is actually in the content behind.
For example, exemption from taxation, exemption from taxation, exemption from forced labor.
In short, as long as someone in the family died fighting for the country, in addition to the pension silver, the incense of the martyrs' shrine, the condolences that the local government must have every year, and all taxes and forced labor are also exempted.
This is the real big head, who can avoid this in the past?
Rich?
Rich people can't do it, even if they sit on 10,000 acres of fertile land, they don't have that qualification.
Only scholars, and at the very least, they must be scholars who have achieved fame in showmanship.
Not even a child.
So there's such a weird thing as a throw.
Nowadays, these scholars can also get the privilege of sacrificing for the country, so what is not satisfied?
Zheng Zhilong was thinking in his heart, but Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "By the way, what does that island look like?" β
Zheng Zhilong thought about it, and then pondered: "Your Majesty, that island is huge, and Wei Chen walked with the fleet for seven or eight days before it was finished. If it weren't for His Royal Highness King Tang finding a water source on the island and getting some meat, I'm afraid that the ministers would also be in big trouble. β
Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, Zheng Zhilong continued: "By the way, there is one more thing. There was a lot of poisonous snakes on the island, but it was not suitable for habitation. β
Emperor Chongzhen's face was a little strange.
What kind of business is a poisonous snake? Doesn't it mean that the more poisonous the snake, the better the meat?
Even the pufferfish, which can kill people if you don't get it right, is almost eaten because of its deliciousness, a mere poisonous snake?
If it is not eaten like crayfish, it is considered to be awesome in terms of reproductive ability!
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply said: "It's okay, anyway, there are many people in the Ming Dynasty, and there is a way to eat snake meat." Besides, snake gall bladder and snake skin can be used in medicine, so just order people to be careful and arrested. β
It's just that until now, Emperor Chongzhen hasn't figured out which island this broken island is.
Please forgive Emperor Chongzhen, the traverser, for his pitiful knowledge of geography, which has basically been returned to the teacher, and there is no such place in his memory.
Li Jiapo or where?
I didn't hear that Li Jiapo is also rich in poisonous snakes.
The big island of Indonesia?
There are quite a lot of Indonesian monkeys on it, and I heard that there are a lot of poisonous snakes, but they are far from the situation that Zheng Zhilong said, right?
Besides, Zhu Yujian didn't mention anyone on the island in the recital he gave him - although there was a small cabin, no one was found for several days, so it was estimated that it was extinct?
Zheng Zhilong suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, there are some creatures captured by the ministers from that big island outside, and they are dedicated to Your Majesty." β
Emperor Chongzhen was interested now.
As long as you don't catch Uncle Black, you can catch anything.
It's just that when Emperor Chongzhen saw the two creatures in the cage, he couldn't help but groan in his heart.
In the famous historical reference book "I Want to Be the Emperor" that I had read before I crossed over, or in the book "The Rise of the Empire of the Great Han", these things were mentioned, that is, this big island was mentioned.
Although it is not clear which book is written, this kind of creature that likes to fight boxing, Emperor Chongzhen can be described as thunderous.
The most important thing is that the future generations of international students who studied on that big island made good things.
What kangaroo essence, kangaroo treasure, kangaroo whip, what kangaroo three treasures came out.
And the name will make people instinctively think about yin and aphrodisiac, how can anyone not be interested in these things?
Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen is quite interested, even if he doesn't need this thing at all, he should be interested in it.
Not to mention the aboriginal girls over there who often take this thing to the supermarket with them - put a mask on the kangaroo, then lead it out the door, buy something and throw it into the bag on its chest.
It's much more convenient than a shopping cart.
And this thing can also be used as a bodyguard - born to box, which is also a wonder.
As for the other petite one, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that thing.
Koalas, very cute and cute, but a bit picky eater.
Eating only eucalyptus leaves is also a sign of this gadget.
After returning to the house, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "King Tang, did they say what the name of this big island is?" β
Zheng Zhilong thought about it, but he still didn't think about whether Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, had named this island - it should not be, even if there was, the emperor is here, what is his broken name?
After thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Tang said that the island is too big, and non-human ministers can take a name, so I ask Your Majesty to give it a name." β
