Chapter 914: The first time I saw the king, it was negotiated
After all, the little tiger was the one who couldn't eat the tree, and he was numb in his unwillingness.
Zhang Xiaobao waited for a while, broke off a branch and threw it at the little tiger, and saw that it still did not move, so he jumped off the ground and took out a rope to tie the little tiger's limbs.
"The medicinal effect is okay, I used to experiment on pigs and monkeys, and the first time I used it for tigers, there are still tigers here, and I must cherish them in the future, and I can't kill them."
Wang Juan's next words were addressed to Kamoa.
He disagreed, and defended: "Tigers eat sheep and people." And the rhinoceros, which are also very destructive. ”
"No matter how good they are, can they compare to people? Demarcate the area in the back, someone will protect you, and whenever there are more tigers and rhinoceros than a certain number, you are allowed to apply for hunting, otherwise it will be a violation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, carry it. ”
Wang Juan naturally did not carry the prey, Zhang Xiaobao and Moa Dai Lao, cut down a branch, put it on the rope, the two of them one after the other, lifted the tiger and walked back, today they no longer hunt other prey.
Wang Juan glanced back at the dense forest, and the sound of birdsong, and muttered: "Future children can't just be the tigers and rhinoceros that have appeared in Yunnan on TV, here, the beauty is not only Dianchi Lake." ”
"If you don't say that India is still good, at least leave something behind." Zhang Xiaobao heard Wang Juan's words and followed.
I can't figure it out, why is India good? What's left?
He cared more about what he was doing to beat the tiger, holding the branch on his shoulder with one hand, and asked curiously: "Can you kill a tiger if you don't kill it, and can you kill someone with a gun that you don't feel after the tiger?" ”
"Where's the fight? Hit the heart, the neck. And above the eyes, there will be death. Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile.
"I mean close, hitting the legs and buttocks, sometimes getting hurt, pus and blood in the wound, it hurts to cut with a knife, hitting people with something that beats a tiger, and then cutting. Doesn't it hurt? ”
He thought of the practical aspect, which was reflected in the medical aspect.
Zhang Xiaobao walked behind, and he didn't see Moa's expression, but he himself was very surprised, and he didn't care whether the other party could reach him or not, and nodded: "It's already in use, you don't need to use a gun." It's similar to a narcotic bullet, with a small needle in front of it, and it enters the body with a slight prick.
There is also an inhalation anesthesia that is being studied, and when you take a breath, you will feel numb, and you can't feel the pain of the cutter on your body. The amount is not well controlled, and the monkeys are being tested, poor monkeys, they have made a great contribution to mankind, but unfortunately there are no guinea pigs. ”
He didn't understand what a white mouse could do. He was surprised by Datang's methods, if the things that appeared before were used to attack. The narcotic thing mentioned now is for the protection of the people.
He had never been to Datang, but he had only listened to the words of the merchants, especially in terms of weapons, which he had heard and thought was exaggerated before, but now that he saw the real thing, he believed other things that the merchants said.
"Xiaobao, the tribe belongs to the Tang Dynasty, is it troublesome?" He finally couldn't help but ask what was in his heart.
"Don't bother, you admit it, and naturalize, we will immediately put up the shelf, send medical personnel to the local area first, I know that what you need most is people who can get sick, although the manpower over there is not very rich, it is still no problem to draw out a few people, and at the same time you can study the local diseases and medicinal materials."
Zhang Xiaobao is very happy and looking forward to the inclusion of local people, becoming a family, the local resources can be well utilized, and future expansion can be used as a logistics supply base.
"And the gems." Zhang Xiaobao thought of the local specialty and said it casually.
"Yes, I'll send you some." He thought Zhang Xiaobao wanted it.
Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly replied: "No, just say it, you can't mine it yourself, especially if you destroy it, damage more gems in order to get a gem, and the wealth underground should be left to future generations as much as possible." If we want to use gems, we can grab them from other countries, oh, it's exchange. ”
He couldn't keep up with Zhang Xiaobao's train of thought, and didn't understand why he wanted to leave it to future generations, the gems were in the ground, and they could be dug casually, and a lot of them would be exchanged from elsewhere, and they had to pay for things.
But he didn't refute, since people proposed not to dig it, they didn't dig it first, and the gems that were put there couldn't run away, the only thing that worried him was that if he didn't take the gems out, how could he exchange them with other places in Datang for valuable things.
As if guessing what he thought, Wang Juan said to him: "Your wealth is not only precious stones, for me and Xiaobao, your precious stones are nothing, as long as its value can be measured, then it is nothing more than a matter of money."
We care more about you than gemstones, people, are the most precious, you just have one less opportunity, waiting for our people to guide you in doing things, you don't have to worry about exchanging things with other places in the future.
You can form your own caravans, and after you finish eating, you will have slaves come and help build the roads, and if there are few slaves, we will pay for the Indians to work, and there are places like Zhenla. ”
"Don't spend money on others, we can fix it ourselves, and the money will be used on us." His ideas were very simple, and many people were like him.
"You have jobs that make more money, such as being overseers, and if you are lazy when others are working, you will get far more money than the people who do it." Zhang Xiaobao explained.
"If we work and oversee the work, won't we get more?" He said to Zhang Xiaobao.
"Do you have that many of them? I need the road to be opened as soon as possible, and it will be leveled and suitable for a large group of people to pass quickly, and I will not wait for you to repair it little by little. Your life is not as good as our prosperous place in Datang, not because you were born poor, but because of inconvenient transportation.
Many resources can't be transported, many resources can't be used, and what about the outside, there is still a great need for your resources, a road, is a hope, people who have not experienced it will never know. ”
Zhang Xiaobao is influencing Moa, I hope he can change his mind as soon as possible, don't always guard his little bit of caution, there is a broader world outside.
Again, he agreed, though he didn't quite understand it. However, he believes that Xiaobao can't lie to himself. Before, I thought that Xiaobao and Juan Juan had more than 10,000 people, and it was easy to fight their own tribe. There are no old and weak in the team, and there are many people who can fight when they fight their own tribe.
Now that they understand that they don't need to send too many people to call, dozens of people can kill all the people of their own tribe, and they still need to deceive themselves if they have such a ability?
Considering the use of force, the things mentioned by the businessman recalled by the Mo Aa were that all the Tang Dynasty people were bullied. Datang will directly send troops to help the Datang people retaliate.
Thinking that he would be a Tang Dynasty in the future, he planned to ask clearly, so he said: "What if the people of my tribe are bullied by people from other tribes?" Can you help fight it? ”
"What tribe is it, with the surname Meng? That's an internal problem, and in the future you need to cooperate with them, protected by the law, and not kill one of you like the people from India. We killed hundreds of Indians at once, and even pulled down the king of one of their small countries. ”
"What about the six edicts?" Kamoa asked again.
"This ...... I still haven't figured out what the Six Edicts are planning, in fact, you should be able to find that there is not much difference between you in many habits of life. Juan Juan and I are considering that the six edicts will also be included in the Tang Dynasty.
There are more of them, and after they are included, a large part of them need to be scattered all over the Tang Dynasty, including you and the ethnic groups surnamed Meng. To put it bluntly, it is to assimilate you, otherwise it will take more time to slowly influence. We can't wait.
Otherwise, it's easy for us to rely on the local area as a place for logistical supplies, and you give us a backyard fire. How sad should I live? ”
Zhang Xiaobao did not hide his purpose at all, and said bluntly to listen to and communicate, sometimes he can be sincere, and say it on his face, which is better than making bad behind his back.
Although he couldn't understand some words, he was able to guess the meaning, nodded and said, "I'm also afraid that I will lead the warriors to fight in front and someone will betray me behind me. When the time comes, will you be able to move people over, and will you be able to come back? ”
"It's not about migrating, it's about recruiting people to come over to work, giving them more wages, bringing their families with them, and at the same time letting them go out of the world, if they have more time, they will come back if they want to, not forced. Don't worry, Juan Juan and I will never do anything harmful to you, and you don't understand it, anyway, we are a family. ”
Zhang Xiaobao assured Moa.
He really couldn't figure it out, he obviously had a strong force, and he was still talking to himself when he came here, and he had the same weapon, and he had already conquered the people surnamed Meng and the six edicts.
And it's not stupid to go up to this little treasure and juanjuan, why do you treat yourself like this?
Unable to figure it out, he stopped thinking about it and agreed, "All right, when my king comes, I will advise." ”
"Okay, this time I'll give you five long guns, give you a pistol, a thousand bullets for the pike, thirty rounds of pistol bullets, train you for a few days, the bullets count on us, the small cannon...... If I don't give it to you, cāo is not very skillful, and if it hits your own people, it will be uncomfortable, which is considered a benefit to you. ”
Zhang Xiaobao mentioned the matter of weapons, which he wanted to have very much, he didn't mention it before, and if it was himself, he didn't think he would agree.
I didn't expect Xiaobao to be so easy to speak, so I gave it first without opening my mouth.
Considering that there would be weapons to protect the tribe in the future, Moa was first happy, and then asked Zhang Xiaobao suspiciously: "Are you not afraid that we will use weapons to beat you?" ”
"We're a family, if you really shoot us, don't blame me and Juan Juan for being ruthless." Zhang Xiaobao told him calmly.
"Just ask, family." He was relieved and thought that the weapon would be in hand, rather than Xiaobao casually talking.
Wang Juan proposed: "Xiaobao, let's give them some money, give them a few thousand, enough for them to buy things with the merchants, such as advanced farming tools, and my plows are all wood." ”
"No, Xiaobei, they will definitely give, I know the little ones too well, their money has not been used up, and they always want to find a reason to give it to others and use it on their children. Fortunately, our education did not fail, they only cared about my Datang children, and they didn't care about other countries. ”
Zhang Xiaobao talked about his younger siblings, and the smile on his face brightened.
The corners of Wang Juan's mouth are also upturned, and he feels very happy whenever he thinks of his younger siblings.
He also likes Xiaobei Jiu very much, and he will feel better than other children at a glance, and he looks good, he hopes that he will have children in the future and be like Xiaobei and them.
So he asked, "Xiaobao." The children taught by the Datang Academy are the same as Xiaobei? Do they have money? ”
"Huh? The same? Oh, do you know it's for their education. How much effort did Juan and I put into it? If I use this jīng power to make money, I can sell half of the land in Datang. Speaking of which, others can teach it well, but it's too difficult, it's not their own child, who wants to teach it like this?
As for money, they have their own business, but in fact, it is all managed by the inner courtyard of the family, and they just come up with an idea. But Juan Juan and I support them. You can get less than 6 million yuan a year, and more will be in the future. About 2 million were used.
More than 700,000 of them were spent on children's medical research, which was really expensive, and they had to invest in it themselves. But in the future, it will increase the amount of money spent, and we can't always make the merchant pay all the money for the school, there was no way before, but now we have our hands free. ”
Speaking of education. Zhang Xiaobao is still very conceited, he and Wang Juan teach their younger brothers and sisters with knowledge beyond this era, and the results achieved are quite good.
Moa's greatest concern is not education, but money, unlike his son, who has little knowledge of Datang's money. He knew how many things Datang could buy with money, and when he knew that those nine children could earn millions of yuan a year, he even had the idea of robbing them.
Even if it is only a small half of the money that people make every year, it is enough for the people in the tribe to enjoy it for a few lifetimes.
"You don't take their money?" He was puzzled.
"People are finally trying to find a way to make money, why are we embarrassed to take it and use it? In fact, they keep their money in the bank. I'll just use it. What's more, there is no shortage of their money at home. ”
Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile.
"What about the money? How much money do you have? Kamoa was even more surprised.
"It's not much, it's less than Datang's treasury revenue. A lot of money has been spent, disaster relief, research has been invested, and the dams and artificial canals of Dianchi Lake on your side have to be paid for by us. ”
Zhang Xiaobao said casually, and did not forget to complain.
"I'm sad too." He finally knew what the words 'rich and rival the country' meant, and according to this, the little ones really didn't have much money, and he had the idea of kidnapping Xiaobao and Juan Juan again.
The three of them said as they walked, time passed quickly, and when they came to the place where they had agreed, the others had not returned, but the king was waiting there.
Surprised again, he put down the tiger that had opened his eyes, ran to the king of Guigui, and asked, "King, you have come so quickly?" ”
"As soon as Xiaobao and Juan Juan arrived here, I received a letter, and I met the person you sent out when I arrived at the place, God, it's going to change."
Wang Gui said weakly, with a sigh in his words, he is different from the locals, he has lived in the capital for a while, he knows too well the strength of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, can he not come over in person?
Zhang Xiaobao heard the words of the king and knew that the other party did not want to return to the Tang Dynasty, he was the king here, and his status would decline after he was truly submitted.
But Zhang Xiaobao will not make any concessions and compromises for the sake of the other party.
Zhang Xiaobao clasped his fists and saluted: "The envoy of the Bohai Festival has seen the king of the plan." ”
Wang Juan followed: "The deputy envoy of Bohai has seen the king of the plan." ”
The two of them are worse than the king in terms of actual duties, the king is the prince, the first product, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are the third products as the festival envoys, but the Bohai Governor's Mansion is too big, and the first product is raised, it is the second product, and the false position is the first product.
King Guigui nervously returned the salute: "Xiaobao, Juanjuan, the next official will meet the two." ”
When I was in the capital, I knew that people were not polite to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, who dared to be presumptuous in front of them? Those who are qualified to bear their gifts, except for Zhang Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is the general Gao Lishi, who is a father and another father.
Now that he had been saluted first, the king sighed and said, "It's time to come, it's still here." ”
"It's not that I'm talking about you, just such a small population, how is the life of Rìzi compared to the people in the capital? If you are a king, you will be a good person, and I will let you be completely independent~ now, are you willing? Do you want me to speak to you now as a nation-to-nation? ”
Zhang Xiaobao was not polite at all, and pointed directly to the topic, he didn't have time to go around in circles with the other party.
King Guigui suddenly smiled: "On the way here, the king has already thought about it, to live around the strong country, even if the strong country does not attack, then it is a kind of existence in the cracks, uncomfortable, but I have a request, I want to ......"
"Do you want me to consult with you first when I send the people who stay behind to govern the place, to ensure your absolute interests, and at the same time to teach you more things, and to provide you with comprehensive support, especially in terms of force, not to suppress you, right?"
Zhang Xiaobao didn't wait for the king to finish speaking, and then continued the other party's words.
"Xiaobao is really Xiaobao, the fame is full, I have learned it, and they all say that you are calculating, and I am relieved to listen to you at this moment."
Zhang Xiaobao took another salute, Zhang Xiaobao accepted it calmly, and Wang Juan also stepped forward and accepted it together.
King Guigui smiled, and Moa was confused, what were the two sides talking about?
"...... you, king," asked Moa.
"Since Xiaobao can say the plan for me, it means that his plan is more perfect and better than I thought, compared to building a place, I am far behind Xiaobao, they accept my salute, and naturally they want to do things for my clan. They can seize the power of the Tang Dynasty but not it, so why should I care about this nominal power?
Have you seen any of their weapons? You have never been to the Tang Dynasty, you haven't seen how their lives are, there is a strong country beside them, whether my clan returns or not has little impact on them, but it has a great impact on us, I don't want to be attacked by them from afar, we don't even have the strength to resist. ”
And the king said to him.
He sighed, he had seen that kind of weapon, but he was sad for his king, after all, he wanted to give up power, and at the same time he had to be happy for his own people, with the support of Xiaobao and Juan Juan, his life would be better in the future, and he was very conflicted in his heart.
