Chapter 703: The Three Kingdoms

There has never been a brick wall here, I don't know if it's because the cost is too high or if the people here don't think it's necessary. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info Nanshan King City is the same, less than three meters on the rammed city wall, there is a small tower every other section, and four or five soldiers at the city gate are checking passers-by.

After everyone who thought it was nothing more than this entered the city gate, Li Wen pulled Li Yang's sleeve, and then glanced to the right. Li Yang looked at the past, and a few soldiers were walking out of a hidden place in a corner of the city wall, walking straight towards the city gate.

It seems that this city is also loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and there is also a hidden soldier hole inside the city wall, I don't know if it is the reason why there are many small countries on the island and frequent wars, anyway, this vigilance is still very high.

A few people did not stay too long, and walked towards the city, and the buildings and streets were similar, but the inner city, that is, the palace building, was much grander than Miyakojima and Yaeyama Castle, and many high-rise buildings in the palace had square shooting holes, it seems that the king here would never be a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, surrendered and lost the country.

This is tricky, not to mention the military strength, once the death is lost, the loss will be great, and if you can't think of arson, not to mention burning the city clean, in case you burn a small half of it and rebuilding it is not a simple job. It still has to be treated differently, and the stronger lord can come over with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and then the persuasion of the wind and drizzle will be effective, but now Li Yang's deterrent power is obviously not enough.

After a short stay in the Nanshan Kingdom, everyone went to the Zhongshan Kingdom again, but saw that although the men in the Zhongshan Kingdom were short, they had a tyrannical temperament, and the men with knives were not just decorations.

After a short circle, the group turned to the northern tip of the island, where they prepared to board the boat and leave.

This country is the Kingdom of Beishan, and all the people have tattoos on their faces, which are easy to recognize, but the more unique the people are, the more stubborn and difficult it is to assimilate. However, seeing that Li Yang and his entourage are Chinese, the residents here are very respectful, and they should be very yearning for the culture of Middle-earth, and many nobles are proud of being able to write Chinese characters and use porcelain and silk, so no matter what era it is, luxury culture has its broad market.

Along the way, Li Yang and his team also met a lot of overseas Chinese, among which there was a Chinese merchant who had established his own regime, and they were located on another small island on the edge of the main island of the Ryukyus, which was regarded as a three-way zone, and the land was not very fertile, so it did not arouse the covetousness of others, but this place had an outlet to the sea, which was very convenient for trade, so they were equivalent to occupying the mountain as the king.

Although Li Yang deliberately concealed his identity from them, he knew from the small talk that they were very yearning for Miyako Island in the south, and many of them had even gone there to do business, and felt that this model of business freedom was quite good.

Like the Central Plains, most of the regimes here are heavy on agriculture and suppress commerce, and only in this way can the regime be stable, because merchants are too cunning and too rich, and if they are strong enough to affect their own rule, it will not be beautiful.

Li Yang was quite scoffy at this idea, only those who were not enterprising would be so wary of their own people, Li Yang believed that as long as his energy source continued to expand outward, let his sphere of influence expand, so that merchants could have an expanding source of raw materials and commodity sales targets, his rule would be stable for a long time.

For more than a week, Li Yang had a general understanding of the regime on Ryukyu Island, many of them were still in a relatively primitive state, many countries did not even popularize iron tools, and even soldiers used bronze weapons, and there were several large countries on the island, such as Zhongshan, Nanshan and Beishan, but it was not difficult to reach here, and the next step was to plan carefully.

More than a month has passed since Li Yang went to Ryukyu Island to explore, and if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Ryukyu, the navy is the most important. Under Li Yang's personal efforts, the newly built shipyard dry dock has been put into use, and it is said that it is a dry dock, but it is simply a fence on the seaside, and when the ship is built, the sluice gate is opened and the sea water is released.

Li Yang is going to build some iron-hulled ships, so that it will be much better than wooden ships to fight, of course, the number will definitely not be more, because there is too little steel here, at most one is to build a flagship, and the rest is to use the trees on the island to make wooden ships.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning, the technical school set up by Li Yang has already reflected its power in a short period of time, because it is the early stage, occasionally Li Yang also goes to be a lecturer, many shipwrights understand the concept of resistance from Li Yang's simple and understandable words, why the ship can be steered by the rudder, why it is made narrow and long, and why the bottom of the ship is made into a V-shape is not easy to bump.

These old shipwrights used their own understanding, combined with their own experience, formed their own set of theories and taught them to the newly recruited apprentices, Li Yang also specially sent documents to the craftsmen, all good experience, do not hesitate to contribute, give different rewards, and take the lead in the field of manufacturing pilot and then the entire territory to implement the knighthood system.

Li Yang deeply knows that the strength of a country's manufacturing capacity is related to the lifeblood of the country, and excellent technology and excellent manufacturing personnel are the foundation of the country's prosperity.

And now, technical Li Yang can spend points to change materials and print, after all, this is not a plug-in, but the quality of personnel is indeed a little low, in addition to improving their quality as soon as possible, it can only greatly stimulate their enthusiasm for work, attitude determines everything is not, that is to say, you have 100% strength, you will give me 100%.

Li Yang, who came back from modern times, did not implement the high-pressure squeezing system, and it was very in line with his idea to reward him for meritorious service, and he thought of the knighthood system a long time ago, especially the military merit awarding system in Daqin has always been what Li Yang yearns for. Now in this era, I can't realize my dream of being a lord, but I can help others realize it.

Li Yang temporarily divided the title into three categories, military merit, political achievements, and labor, so that you can become an enviable nobleman no matter what industry you are in, but because the country has not yet been established, it is only awarded a medal now, which represents honor, and there is no real name and corresponding treatment for the time being.

But even so, everyone knows what that small shining silver medal represents, the owner of the island attaches so much importance to good craftsmen, and the craftsmen are treated so highly, and the rumor of knighthood is blowing, who doesn't want to have a decent identity for themselves and their descendants, so everyone wants to seize this opportunity.
