153 Goodbye old friend

Walking on the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar street of Bengang, I always heard the exchange and shouts from the surrounding pedestrians from time to time, the aborigines with accents spoke, and the clothes that were no longer much different from the Ming people, at this time the biggest feeling in Li Tianyang's heart was pride.

The natives have integrated into all corners of Bengang, farmers, men, sailors, etc., etc., etc., the most natives gathered are in the Hongmen Hongtang Shark Department team is really good, who makes the adult male still not completely rid of the nomadic tribe's innate archery and blood bravery, is the best source of warriors in Hongmen.

Under the influence of Hongmen, the biggest shortcoming of the indigenous people's lack of water access has gradually been made up for by the other party in their interactions with the Hongmen people over the years.

Among the many tribal members of the Bengang Alliance, they are consciously developing towards the coastal zone, especially the dozen or so patriarchs who have followed Li Tianyang to the Ming Dynasty to expand their horizons, and almost everyone has landed on the northern coast.

In order to continue to sinicize these tribal members in a stable manner, and also to show their principle of fairness and justice, after the tribal members showed their intention to buy Hongmen warships, Hongmen Ye did not hesitate to cherish the broom, and even had more discounts on the price.

Of course, even if it is a discounted price, it is a very heavy burden for the members of the tribes, and they still need to maintain and renovate after purchasing back, which is a trickle of expenses, and the tribes actually can't buy many warships, just a few in the sky.

Among them, the most purchased by each tribe is the 400 warships eliminated by Hongmen, as well as slightly larger fishing boats, and the sea ships with more than 1,000 materials are basically useless for these tribes.

And Hongmen's unique "Yang Fan-type" and "Jiaolong-type" warships, not only is the price of warships still an astronomical amount for the tribes that seem to be quite wealthy today, not to mention, Li Tianyang is not so stupid that he really doesn't care about the threat of the tribe at all.

Most of the effects of the Hongmen on the sale of sea ships on the tribes were positive, such as making the silver dollars issued by the Hongmen more useful, you must know that the indigenous people, especially the indigenous upper-class figures, are still a little vague about the concept of silver money.

Although the purchase of materials and raw materials in Hongmen all need this silver money as a transit thing, rather than bartering directly as before, but among the indigenous upper-class figures, there are usually filial piety from the tribe, and there are Hongmen from time to time to give gifts to share profits, or Hongmen workshops that settle down on their own land to rent in kind, and a large amount of silver money storage is not favored by the indigenous high-level, so everyone is willing to buy a lot of materials that can be used and are easy to preserve and piled up in the tribe.

The problem brought about by this is that the indigenous people are actually not fatally dependent on the Hongmen in the economic field, which is also the key to the strong independence of many indigenous tribes to this day.

After Hongmen let the natives buy sea ships, the price of a well-preserved 400 warship with no shortage of combat power was thousands of taels of silver dollars, so that many high-level clans of the Bengang Alliance had to begin to understand the preciousness of silver dollars, and gradually began to reserve these silver dollars among the tribes that they thought were useless.

Hongmen can also take this opportunity to eliminate the inventory of seagoing ships that are not scarce, even if there are other maritime gangs to purchase second-hand seagoing ships from Hongmen, but firstly, the price advantage of these seagoing ships is not too obvious compared with new ships, and the real cost performance is not too high; Second, Hongmen's hegemonic momentum in the Daming Sea is becoming more and more obvious, as long as there is no real demand, those maritime merchants and sea gangs who originally wanted to expand their own strength to protect themselves no longer want to cause Hongmen's misunderstanding.

Moreover, the indigenous tribes bought the Hongmen warship, in fact, it is also to enrich the strength of their own alliance, according to the constitution of the Bengang Alliance, the alliance members need to send troops to other tribes when necessary, and with the relationship and influence between Hongmen and the tribes now, if you want to transfer the sea ships of the clan members, it is generally not a big problem, as long as there are enough interests.

On the way here, Li Tianyang was very surprised for the first time when he saw an indigenous person who had traveled more than ten miles overseas, stepping on a small fishing boat and fishing at sea.

Of course, in addition to these obvious changes, Bengang does not have many other changes, after all, it is the base camp, because it is not open to the outside world, when it comes to the real prosperity, Bengang is not as good as Keelung Town.

There are not too many shops and restaurants and other miscellaneous shops, Bengang is more like a mountain village as simple and leisurely, but this territory is a little bigger, and the population is a little more.

"As soon as I heard that your kid was coming back, I ran to the county and waited for you for two days before I finally waited for you."

"Say! How can you compensate me? ”

Before he entered the inner city of Bengang, Li Tianyang was blocked by a very familiar friend, who choked his neck with his arm and joked.

"......" Li Tianyang smiled bitterly, stopped the team members around him from wanting to come forward to relieve the siege, broke his hands, and easily escaped from the other party's men: "Bengang Keelung Town now has a sea boat every day, if you really miss us, wouldn't it be good to take a boat directly to Keelung Town to play?" ”

"It just so happens that your nieces and nephews talk about your uncle all day long, and they remember the thrush you promised to give them!"

As soon as Li Tianyang raised his head, what caught him was his long-lost friend, Ma Yao, the patriarch of the Jura Mountain Society.

Ma Yao is now the father of four or five dolls, less lively and impulsive when he was young, and a little more calm and domineering, but in some ways he has the same temperament as Li Tianyang, but it is very different.

"Hey, I want to go and play with you, but not to mention the journey of at least one day and one night, I can't go for a few more days if I finally go! If this delay is made, it will take at least a week before I can return to the clan, and I am afraid that I will be scolded to death by the elders of the clan! ”

As one of the five major tribes of the Bengang Alliance, with the support of Hongmen and his own efforts, the population of the Jura Mountain Society now exceeds 30,000.

The larger the population, the greater the trouble for the indigenous tribes of the Jura Mountain Society, and all kinds of trivial matters may come to him as the patriarch, not to mention the contradictions with other tribes, land planting and other issues related to the development of the tribe, which also need the attention of patriarchs like him.

Although the various tribes have been imitating the development trajectory of Hongmen, on the issue of rights, the vested interests of the various tribes will not easily give up the rights in their hands, and naturally they will not completely learn from Hongmen to use various rules and regulations to deal with the affairs of the clan, and even the patriarch like Ma Yao is not exempt from vulgarity.
