Although the Imperial Court has already begun to lay out in Hokkaido, there are some things that cannot be shown from the beginning.

Hokkaido is still very desolate, and there is not even a castle.

The imperial court only sent 3,000 garrisons and 2,000 craftsmen of various kinds, plus the people of the Yang family here, adding up to less than 7,000 people in total.

And they can only use the temporary camp as a base here, but fortunately, the crowd is relatively concentrated, which makes some natives dare not act rashly.

In addition to that, they are constantly refining coke.

It's far from the mainland, and if you use steam power, you have to replenish it here before you can go back, otherwise there will be no return for the ship.

And Li Yuanjing finally understood why the Yang family gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

To be exact, it is Yang Yong's vein.

Although they migrated out, the real Yang family had less than 300 people here, and the remaining more than 1,000 people were their vassals.

After such a long period of development, the Yang family has gradually intermarried with these vassals to a certain extent, and there have also been certain changes in bloodline.

The crowd is not large enough to secure a place here.

In other words, an attack by the other party may wipe them out.

"The current situation of the Yang family is not suitable for survival on a certain continent!" After learning about the current situation of the Yang family, Li Yuanjing did not shy away from speaking directly.

It's not because of your own strength, but that's what it is.

Originally, Li Yuanjing was still thinking about whether to give Hawaii to the Yang family, but now it seems that they can't control Hawaii.

Because as long as there is a place in this world that is suitable for human survival, whether it is a continent or an island, the aborigines can be seen.

The same is true of Hawaii, and even if the Yang family can completely control these two thousand people, even if they bring out a few thousand more people from the Tang Dynasty later, they will not be able to rule Hawaii.

"The Yang family is different from other families, it is impossible for the imperial court to give the Yang family any support, and the next thing can only rely on the Yang family itself!" Li Yuanjing continued.

"Your Highness is reasonable, there are less than five thousand people who are willing to follow the Yang family at present!" Yang Yun, the head of the Yang family, was full of bitterness.

It has been too long since the Yang family's era, and the people who supported Yang Yong in the early years died of old age, or changed their minds over time and accepted their fate.

If Yang Yong is still alive, maybe the Yang family's chances will be greater.

But now, they, the descendants of Yang Yong, can't support these people no matter what.

"The right one is the best, you don't have to be too disappointed, after finding a place for the Yang family, this king will consider selling the Yang family a warship!" Li Yuanjing thought about it and said.

"Like His Highness's steel battleship?" Yang Yun was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise.

After seeing the steel battleship, everyone on the island was shocked, and no one even thought that it could be used to build a battleship from steel.

But the steel battleship was really standing in front of them.

And through simple understanding, even if they don't understand, they can guess that those wooden ships are not the opponents of steel battleships at all.

"Yes, but the tonnage will not be too big, maybe it will be like those small ships outside, maybe smaller than that, but for the Yang family, self-protection is enough." Li Yuanjing nodded and confirmed.

"Is it expensive?" Yang Yun secretly swallowed his saliva.

"I don't know, there is no exact price for steel now, just in terms of labor and other equipment costs, a ship is about tens of thousands of guan, and this kind of small boat is estimated to be about three or four hundred thousand guan!" Li Yuanjing thought about it roughly and gave the expected price.

Of course, this is a huge profit in a windfall profit, but the shipyard invests so much, shouldn't it be profitable?

Li Yuanjing has invested so much technology and funds, shouldn't he take back some of it now?

There is no doubt that this price is from the Yang family.

"Good!" Yang Yun nodded, the Yang family did come up with this price.

Over the past few decades, they have also collected a lot of gold and silver in Hokkaido, and they don't even have to venture out to open a mine here, just let people go down to the river to fish.

Not to mention much, it is no problem to make a few hundred catties of gold and silver a year, and in the past few decades, the Yang family has almost accumulated more than five million pieces of family property.

This, of course, refers to after gold and silver became currency.

The two then talked about some other things, nothing more than about the subsequent voyage to sea.

The Yang family definitely can't all follow, and even in this matter, they don't have any initiative.

Li Yuanjing proposed that the Yang family send ten people to follow the fleet to set off, and if Li Yuanjing thought it was appropriate to the island, he would let them land and investigate, and then these ten people would come up with a decision.

After they left, the Yang family could prepare for the migration.

And the fleet will not necessarily go back the same way, that is to say, the next time the fleet appears, it will be time to set off with their Yang family.

Li Yuanjing roughly gave a timeline, two years at the fastest, five years at the slow, if there is no news for more than five years, let them find a way to go to Datang to inquire about the news.

In addition, it gave the Yang family a guarantee, and in the past two years, they could secretly win over some of their own people in Datang, and Li Yuanjing gave them a thousand places.

The Yang family can directly send these 1,000 people to the naval barracks for training to ensure that they can protect themselves in the future.

Li Yuanjing will take these thousand people directly with him when he sails next time, and what the Yang family needs to do in the past few years is to pull the people he wants to take away as much as possible while packing up his belongings.

It's best to be able to pull to Hokkaido, and if you can't pull it, go to Yang Wan and ask her to find a place in Haizhou to settle these people first.

And Li Yuanjing did all this because of Yang Wan.

In the final analysis, he is not a ruthless man, not to mention that Yang Wan also gave birth to offspring for himself.

The Yang family is now in a state of decay, and even Li Yuanjing knows very well that the Yang family has no chance to rise at all, which is not something that can be done by the efforts of one or two generations.

The natural environment restricts their future development, and as for the sale of warships, before that, no one should think about it.

It is impossible for the imperial court to sell, and it will never sell.

But for the sake of the Yang family, Li Yuanjing still decided to open this mouth.

Of course, what is sold must be a weakened version, in addition, if it is an enemy of Datang, Datang can even guarantee that their warships will not be able to start after a year, after all, these families have not mastered the technical aspects.

After a banquet, Li Yuanjing declined the Yang family's hospitality, he is not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a woman, and he doesn't need the Yang family's favor.

However, Li Yuanjing does not accept the offer, which does not mean that others do not accept the offer.

When I came, I kept shouting on the road that I must restrain my love and Cheng Chuliang, and now it is the happiest of these two goods, and I directly picked two from one of the beautiful girls, and pulled them into the house in a manner.

In this regard, Li Yuanjing just smiled slightly and didn't say anything!
