The impact of basic tools and means of transportation on the Ryukyus was shocking, and the connection between the various tribes was shortened, and it used to be a path that was tread by man, but since the introduction of tricycles into the Ryukyu Nansan Province, the road is no longer reserved for the carriages of the privileged class, and many settled villages have spontaneously begun to smooth out the road with the outside world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, the road of this era is far from the trouble of the later generations, the future generations are fighting against the sky, I make a hole in the mountains that I can't walk, and I build bridges in the deep streams that I can't cross. In this era, everything had to be done in accordance with nature, and the originally flat ground was widened and flattened with earth and stones, and it became a direct road to "Rome".

In the past month, all kinds of news have been spreading everywhere like an explosion. As various goods from Miyako Island were introduced to the Ryukyus, the atmosphere on the island was slowly changing.

Originally a self-sufficient and closed economic cycle, since the introduction of cotton spun cloth and a very small amount of silk from Miyakojima to the Ryukyus, not only the inhabitants of Li Yang's own territory, but also the countries around the territory of the Nansan Province of the Ryukyus, were also deeply affected.

So, in addition to the cloth, all the novelties of Miyakojima soon spread around the center of Toe Castle, and the various flavors of sugar balls were children's favorites, and the original ordinary cardamom cloves became a must-have seasoning on the dining table after processing, and many nobles with horses did not ride after having bicycles, and simple bicycles were inlaid with gold and silver by them. The king of a small nearby country was presented with a lavishly decorated short saber from Miyakojima, which he showed off on various occasions many times, which became his greatest glory.

On this day, Li Yang welcomed a group of uninvited guests here - several tribal elders close to Li Yang's territory on Ryukyu Island. For these people, Li Yang naturally received them politely.

"My lord, we want to be incorporated under your rule, your change in territory is obvious to all, and we all want to be under the protection of your lordship." Several local kings unabashedly expressed their desire to join Li Yang's camp.

"This ......," Li Yang pondered for a while, "after all, you have your own king, and if I accommodate you like this, it may cause trouble to friendly allies." ”

"My lord, with your strength, crushing a few of our small countries is like killing a few ants, why bother too much about these small sections."

"No, how can I do things without being fair, so that I will go with you to meet your king, and if I am willing to be under my protection, then I must obtain the consent of your king, well, I must come to your king's territory and treatment according to the highest standards."

After deciding on the tone, Li Yang led a group of servants to walk south with these clan elders.

No one dissuaded Li Yang, because the subordinate troops led by Li Yang this time were an elite battalion of the Second Army Corps, and more than 300 tigers and wolves were not to mention protecting Li Yang's safety, and it was estimated that it would not be difficult to destroy the small country in the south.

To be honest, Li Yangzhen has not had time to take a good tour of the customs and customs on Ryukyu Island, and this time it is equivalent to a welfare trip after the heavy government affairs.

In the territory of Li Yang's own territory, you can see everywhere the civilians who work in the field with farm tools on their shoulders, because there is a shortage of ploughing cattle here, they still have to rely on people to carry the plough by hand, but with the iron plowshare, two people pull in front, one person in the back, and soon a long field was developed, and several soil kings were amazed.

They asked Li Yang about the situation of the cultivated land, and when they heard that the harvest would be available in four months, and that the harvest would be more than five times that of the sowing, they all stared at each other in astonishment, flashing with envy and jealousy. Although they have a little bit of the goods that flow out of the city, they are really not able to buy seeds and farm tools.

In addition, there were tricycles on the road from time to time, and the back bucket of the car was full of goods, but the cyclists in front did not seem to be struggling, and when they heard that the farm tools and seeds, as well as some necessary means of transportation, were first lent to the common people by the officials at a very low price, these further intensified the determination of the elders of the Tuwang clan to join Li Yang.

Three days later, they came to a large village.

The people in the village saw a large army with bright flags and armor appear in front of the village, and they were already frightened into a mess, and they could faintly see that several women were being pushed and shoved as if they were going to be thrown out of the tent, but the women were desperately disobedient, and there were heart-rending cries from time to time between the fights.

At this time, several earth kings next to him were also quite embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Our country is in danger, and when the year is bad, there are a large number of young and middle-aged people who go elsewhere to find food, so that other people often bully the door, but generally others are asking for goods and food women, and we don't have the first two things, so we have to hand over the women." ”

After saying this, several earth kings ran forward and shouted to the stockade: "I am Menkaure, tell the king that we are back." ”

"Ahh It's the old Menkaure, hurry up and tell the king. ”

After a while, a deep voice rang out: "Menkaure! I thought that you would go to seek refuge with others in a bad year, and you would come back, why, what tribute did you prepare for me? ”

But then the man saw the neatly arranged army outside, and immediately became shocked and angry and shouted: "Okay, you Menkaure, even if you go to seek refuge with others, you even bring troops to kill us!" I fought with you, and you know that you won't get anything from me. ”

"Ahem, it's wrong, it's wrong, the king, I'm here with Li Yang, the lord of Miyakojima, Li Yang!"

"What do you say? Is that the one who brought the Shennong tree? I finally got a Shennong branch, and boiled soup to save my son, is that Lord Li Yang? With this series of questions, the gate of the village was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with unkempt hair poked his head out.

Anyway, the other party is so elite, and the broken wooden wall can't stop it, so the "king" simply ran out and carefully looked at the group of strangers opposite.

"That's right, that's right, a lot of Dakang people." The man muttered to himself, "I don't know who Lord Li Yang is." ”

"I am." Li Yang walked out of the queue and replied indifferently.

The man immediately stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for bringing us the Shennong Tree and relieving my son's pain." ”

Then the man turned his head and reprimanded the earth kings: "If you come without prior notice, damn it, damn it." ”

Respectfully welcomed Li Yang and the others into the village, and the people in the village also knew that it was a false alarm, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and looked curiously at Li Yang's army armed to the teeth from a distance, with fear and envy.
