Chapter Ninety-One: Stories of America I

September 20, Chang'an,

Li Chengyan stood on the wharf by the Weishui and waited for someone, the passage was more than a dozen of the capital's gentlemen, there were not many people by the Weishui in the early morning, a few boatmen shouted the trumpet out of the water, and occasionally a few forceful handles carrying heavy goods back and forth between the fleet and the warehouse, through the dense fog by the river, the sound of the horn came from afar, so that Li Chengyan raised the corners of his mouth. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not much effort, a five-tooth boat sailed to Li Chengyan's side from a distance, slowing down, dropping the sails, stopping the boat, and lowering the bangzi, everything is going on in an orderly manner, although it is messy, it makes people feel a different kind of beauty.

"Big brother, big brother"

A few gorgeously dressed sons hurriedly ran down the boat, looking at Li Chengyan below and shouting, the three of them rushed down the bangzi, and one of the young men flew into Li Chengyan's arms.

"Big brother, you miss me"

"Cut~ I don't know how to be happy in Yuezhou, every time I read your letter, I envy it."

The person who came was Li Ke, and the other two people were Qingque who had just returned from the Americas, and he promised to stay in the Americas to do something, and he couldn't come back both.

"Thin, taller,"

Li Chengyan looked at the two people carefully, Li Tai's original chubby appearance was gone, and now Li Tai is more than seven meters tall with solid muscles, looking at the little brother like this, he knows that they have suffered a lot outside.

"Woo woo~ big brother, I want to kill you."

Seeing that the eldest brother was looking at himself, Li Tai cried out as soon as he pouted, and Li Chengyan's eyes were also red, and he hugged his two younger brothers tightly.

"Hey, fourth brother, fifth brother,"

Li You, Li Yan and Li Shen stood behind Li Chengyan and said together.

"You're here too, come and hug one!"

Li Tai let go of Li Chengyan and reported to the three of them lightly, looking at his younger brother Li Tai, who was already not small, he was also very happy, and what the wanderer hoped most when he returned home was to see his relatives waiting for him at the door of his house, and then touched his shoulder and said that he was thin and dark.

The eldest grandson and Concubine Yang stood in front of the two children, looking at the two children with tears in their eyes, looking at Li Tai's appearance, the eldest grandson's tears flowed even more fiercely, creating evil, it turned out that the chubby Qingque is now thinner than his brother, how much suffering does this have to endure, the mother and daughter have a headache and crying.

Li Er walked to the side of Li Tai, carefully looked at Li Tai's appearance, gently stroked the top of Li Tai's head and said,

"Why did you lose weight like this, you still look chubby."

"Stand here like this, come into the house and talk" The eldest grandson took Li Ke and Li Tai's hands and entered the Ganlu Palace, and Li Chengyan and a few people followed.

"Green Sparrow, how do you feel about that place after spending so much time in the Americas?"

Li Er's biggest concern is his own land, although it has been divided, but it is still the land of the Li family or the land of the Tang Dynasty.

"It's a big and rich place, except for a small number of natives, there are basically no enemies, and when we first arrived in America," everyone was immersed in the world that Li Tai narrated, as Li Tai recalled.

Two years ago, on the route from the Central Plains to the Americas.

"Second brother, I've been on the boat for three months, I really can't hold on, and there is a smell of sea in my mouth now,"

The chubby Qingque complained to Li Chengqian about his pain, if it weren't for those damn five surnames and seven families, Lao Tzu wouldn't have gone all the way to this place where birds don't shit, how good it would be to listen to Sima Laozu's lectures in the academy obediently.

"Me too, now I feel like I'm standing on soft soil, not touching the ground, how to walk is so uncomfortable."

Li Chengqian had a slight dizziness, looking at the water was nauseous, now it is at the turn of autumn and winter, the sea breeze is a little cold, the two of them sit on the boat and look at the blue sea in the distance, there is no excitement when they first set off, and there is love.

A small black shadow appeared in the distance, Li Chengqian stood up and tried to see what it was, and suddenly there was a cheering sound when he put it on.

"Arrived, just ahead, right ahead."

"Haha second brother, it's here, let's arrive, finally stop eating pickled vegetables, finally stop eating pickled fish."

Looking at the large piece of land in the distance, everyone put down their numb expressions and changed to a yearning look, the prince called this place the country of abundance, there must be his reason, seeing that the land was getting closer and closer to him, Li Chengqian and Qingque changed their damp clothes, and changed into a slightly drier one, pulling their respective princesses, standing on the bow of the boat and looking at the land in the distance.

The people sent to the Americas by the Tang Dynasty this time were a total of 8,000 people, 3,000 soldiers, and 5,000 displaced people, and as the bangzi fell to the land, Li Chengqian took the prince and princess Su Shi off the boat, but after taking a few steps, it felt as if the earth was trembling, and they couldn't walk steadily, so the couple could only support each other and walked to the edge of a smooth stone and sat down.

There is a meadow in the distance, and there is a wooden house on the grass, which was where the original loser lived when he came to America, and he sent people to search it, and several people found a relatively dry room and began to sleep on the bed.

It was so tired that the soldiers and civilians began to clear the wasteland, and large patches of trees were cut down into timber and transported to a suitable place to live, while the crew was repairing the boats, and they stayed only for a few days, returning to the Central Plains after the monsoon.

Li Tai woke up in the early morning of the next day, listened to the shouting outside had begun to shout the call to work, stretched his waist, got dressed under the service of the maid, and the servant brought a bowl of porridge, Li Chengqian and Li Tai drank it with a huff, and then led two horses and began to inspect their territory.

The place is indeed as Li Cheng said frankly, a very vast place, the land is fertile and the resources are also abundant, because it is a reckless wilderness, so the trees are very high, and you can see thick cedar trees everywhere, Li Chengqian and Li Tai met and smiled, this is their own place in the future, took out the map that Li Chengyan gave to the two people, and the two spread out on the ground.

"This is the land allocated by the eldest brother, mine is in the east, this is you, Xiao Ke and Xiao Dark," Li Chengyan said, pointing to a place on the map.

"Just let me go now, what can I do? This is nothing, or according to what we said, develop and decide together when there is something to do, isn't the eldest brother's shop coming in this way? ”

Li Chengyan is a business run according to the method of later generations, and each department will have a group of special people in charge of business affairs, called shareholders, a total of seven people, all of whom are veterans in the business field, and everyone discusses things, so there are no other people who can supervise each other to work without those things that compete for power and profit.

"This is a way, but after that, whoever is the place is the place of whom, and it can't be messed up."

The brothers settle the accounts, some things are still said to be more reliable in the future, Li Chengqian is also for the good of the brothers, it is good to develop together, if anyone has other thoughts, it is not easy to turn the face between brothers, right?

"Just do as you say, come here today, and tell the guards to find a place along the river where they can build a city, see if there are lime mines nearby, and prepare for the construction of a city."

Li Chengqian has a booklet in his hand, from the firing of cement and glass, to the construction of the city, from the production method of gunpowder, to the process of marking some iron salts, which is also the reliance of these two brothers, what people are most afraid of is the loss of civilization, and Li Chengyan has already brought everything they need.

The place where the city was built was chosen on the top of a river, the river is wide and deep, the water flow is not very turbulent, a large area of cedar trees above, endless, at first glance Li Chengyan took a fancy to this place, the city of 8,000 people does not need to be big, the first thing is to build a place where people can live, the wharf is built on one side of the city, here will be a fortress connecting the Central Plains and the Americas in the future, so the transportation here must be convenient, Li Chengyan means steady and steady, first control a place and then control another place, Women, the elderly, and children were assigned to clear the land, and some of the men were responsible for daily hunting, and there were special craftsmen who were responsible for firing cement and steel.

Therefore, people are parasites of the earth, and it is a harmful kind, large areas of trees have been cut down, the original lush woods are gone, replaced by a wooden house, hundreds of houses will be built every day, because Li Chengyan's plan is to turn this place into Chang'an City in the Americas, so this city is also called Chang'an, wooden houses, wooden furniture, wooden city walls, everything is wooden, a large area of wasteland in the north was transformed and planned by Li Chengqian into farmland, and wait for the spring of the next year. And sow the seeds.

There is no shortage of food in this kind of place, the sheep, cattle, and horses in the mountains are wandering all over the mountains, and they are naturally not afraid of rare human beings, and there are often cattle and sheep wandering in their own camps, without exception, they have become people's meals.

The weather was very sunny on this day, Chang'an City in the Americas ushered in his first batch of enemies, ten natives on horseback, the most lacking thing in the early Americas was horses, there were only more than a hundred horses coming over with the fleet, and the means of dealing with the natives were very simple.

"What gave them the courage to attack us, the guys who don't even have bronze?" Li Chengqian looked at the dead Indians and asked Li Tai.

"Big brother said that curiosity is stupid, because curiosity will make you constantly test the bottom line of things, until one day you will be killed by your own curiosity."

Li Tai watched the soldiers gather the intact war horses together, and said to them.

"There must be more than a few of them here, their tribe is nearby, look around, if you can catch them, don't kill, what we need now are slaves."

Li Tai is right, this is the western part of the Americas, when the western movement of the Star Country, it was attacked by an unparalleled attack, so that they suffered heavy losses, there are more than 30 large and small tribes nearby, settled here, the number ranges from more than 30 to 50, they wear animal skins, take the test to hunt for a living, have their own language and civilization, some tribes are barbaric and cruel, and some tribes are docile and hospitable.

Li Chengqian looked at a six- or seven-year-old Indian in front of him and was very curious, the same people, why is there such a big gap, this child is the son of a chief in his neighborhood, the chief warmly invited Li Chengqian to drink a sip of their native wine, although the language barrier, but people will always have a way to communicate, this group of people is very simple, treat you as a friend, will give you the best thing you have, report to the chief, is the head of a chief who once attacked this small tribe.

Li Chengqian wanted to test whether he could change the living habits of this group of people, because Li Chengqian didn't know how many natives there were, and although he couldn't pose a threat to himself, the best way was not necessarily to kill.

"Apple~"

"Leather Drum~"

"It's not the ass, it's the apple"

Six or seven-year-old children are the easiest age to accept new things, and it is also the best age to learn languages, Li Chengqian always calls this child Chinese in his spare time, from one child, to two children, attached to the small tribe around Li Chengqian, and gradually integrated into this powerful tribe. At least in their eyes, Li Chengqian's tribe made them the most powerful tribe they had ever seen.
