Chapter 54: Seeking the Tribes
The saint does not know that there are fifteen tribes of this stream. Before Xiao Yiyuan established the Liuqiu Kingdom, there was a tribal alliance called the Dadu Kingdom. After Xiao Yiyuan led the army to break the Dadu Kingdom, all ethnic groups returned to obedience. However, they were only obedient, and they escaped into the mountains and forests, and we could not find them. Recently, he has always been haunted and harassed the people in the neighborhood. Taizhou Zhizhou Gou Hongshe continued.
"Now that they have been converted, why are they rebelling now, are they not afraid of death? Li Xiang'an, pass on my will to the political affairs hall, transfer an army from the southwest, and I will completely wipe them out. I want to see how powerful a tribal alliance with a population of less than 200,000 is. Zhao Ji said viciously.
Now the border of the Great Song Dynasty is unprecedentedly calm, and Northern Liao, Western Xia, Dali, and Jiaozhi all bowed their heads in front of the Great Song Jiaozi. Hearing that Liuqiu had this endless harassment again, Zhao Ji was very unhappy in his heart.
"Holy Lord, after the hundreds of millions of gold and precious stones obtained from the conquest were collected into the national treasury, the finances of the political hall finally breathed a sigh of relief. After the Holy Saint came to the court, the government hall, which was supplemented by hundreds of millions of dollars, passed three resolutions in order to implement the law change in an orderly manner. First, Lu Huiqing and Su Zhe presided over the assessment and replacement of officials in the Great Song Dynasty. Second, Zhangdun and Yanda gathered soldiers and horses from the three towns in the southwest to sweep away the rebellious states in the southwest. Third, Kumamoto and Guo Kui presided over the training of the New Dragon Guard. The Iron Arm Commander Di Yong hurriedly said.
"The towns in the southwest are quelling the rebellion, but in this mountainous area, we need a corps that has adapted to the miasma climate. In this way, there are no soldiers to send in the political affairs hall. Zhao Ji said depressedly.
"I have now handed over the Great Song Jiangshan to Mr." This was the last sentence that Zhao Ji said to Wang Anshi when he left Bianjing. Thinking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but say silently in his heart: "Wang Anshi, I have cleared the way for you, and it is up to you next, I hope that future generations will misunderstand you." ”
"Holy Lord, there is something unclear in the end, the war in the southwest is urgent, why doesn't the Holy Lord go to the southwest to preside over the war, but come here to beg for it?" Liu Qi, the king of Ming, hesitated for a moment before daring to ask. He always felt that this official family was a bit of a toss now, and things were not important.
"What? King Ming is in a hurry? I promised King Ming that I would let Mingjiao return to the Western Regions, and I would not break my promise. King Ming, don't be in a hurry. Liuqiu is more important than the southwest! Zhao Ji said with a smile.
Zhao Ji's strategic intention is still Xiao Yiyuan's formulation of gradually opening up the Maritime Silk Road, establishing military towns, and immigrating and developing. Liuqiu can go north to Japan, and south can go to Australia, Zhao Ji wants to develop Liuqiu as soon as possible, but with Liuqiu as a base, continue to go south until Australia.
"The end will not be puzzled." Liu Qi arched his hand and said.
"You'll understand later." Zhao Ji said mysteriously.
"Yes." Liu Qi arched his hand thoughtfully.
"Zheng Qing's family, let's go to the sugarcane field over there!" Zhao Ji saw a large sugarcane field not far away, waved his hand and jumped away. The others hurried to follow.
Stretching along the trail are large tracts of farmland, each with a small village in the middle of it, and a stone-paved path that connects all the villages. The road is a cement road, the stone road in Keelung City, and the stone road in the village, and the roads are connected.
The village is not a thatched hut or a complete wooden house, but a small two-story building. The brick-built cement pillars replaced the wooden pillars, the red bricks and green tiles, and the wood was not used much, a bit like the ancestral house of Zhao Ji's later generations.
Zhao Ji personally visited the farmhouse and asked about some ordinary life. Although these houses are not owned by the people but by merchants, as long as they work for five years, not only the houses are theirs, but also the land. However, all the income for the first five years was from the merchants, and they did not have a salary, but only food and shelter. But for the people, such treatment is very generous. The new law has no agricultural taxes, and in five years, they can earn a house and a self-cultivated land, and in ten years, they can become well-off. Such a prospect has to make their hearts flutter. Now it's hard to work, and it's temporary.
Since the night talk with Bao Shou, Zhao Ji changed his strategy and decided that it was still necessary to make the peasants rich and expand domestic demand in order to truly stimulate the development of industry and commerce.
"Shengshang, 300,000 acres of rice fields, 100,000 acres of sugarcane fields, 5,000 acres of vegetable fields, and 70,000 acres of ramie fields have been reclaimed around Keelung City. Every year, 60 million catties of grain and 400,000 catties of ramie can be obtained. Grain can supply 300,000 people in Keelung, and ramie can be used to make linen cloth and hemp rope, as well as paper. The annual output of iron ore is 800,000 catties of pig iron, the annual output of gold ore is 6 million guan, and the annual output of logging is 900,000 pieces of wood. Zheng Tong said with a happy face.
"You've made a lot of money, haven't you? No matter how much your family gives you, if you provide convenience to the merchants, you must have already taken a lot of benefits. I don't care how much you take, but don't affect the overall situation of development. Zhao Ji did not praise, but warned.
"Wechen understands." Zheng Tong withdrew his smile and said respectfully.
"The city has been built, and you have done a great job. I see that there are a lot of brick factories here, don't be idle, the city should be built big, and it should be built to the fullest. The vacant land in the city cannot be idle, and it should be planned as soon as possible. It is best to use bricks and cement to reduce the loss of water. The windmills here are well built, and a few more can be built, don't be satisfied with the status quo. The houses of the common people are very well built, but they are too few and too crowded. You can make more, and when the people get rich in the future, you can also sell them to the people. Let businessmen not only look at the present, but also look at the long term. Zhao Ji said a lot of nonsense.
"Yes. Wechen will live up to the expectations of the saints. Zheng Tong responded.
"This Keelung City is still very successful, and I will let the government hall commend you. Your experience in building the city, as well as the one I mentioned, must be reported to the government hall so that the government hall can make overall arrangements. Zhao Ji still praised it.
Zhao constantly walked around the sugarcane fields, sometimes asking the farmers what their difficulties were and what the expected harvest was. At this moment, nearly a hundred native people wearing fur and feathers on their heads appeared in the distance, and they rushed out of the mountains and forests in a hula. Zhao Ji was a little puzzled, and when he saw that they had weapons in their hands, he knew that this was a barbarian infestation.
Zhao Ji instructed the farmers not to panic, and he took Di Yong, Liu Qi and more than a dozen iron guards to meet him. Gou Hongshe, Bai Bolang, Zheng Tong and more than a dozen officials had ugly faces, and just now they said that they had sent troops to encircle and suppress them, and now the barbarians have all been killed in front of the saint, and now the saint will definitely ask for the guilt. Although his face was ugly, he also knew the priority of the matter, and immediately drew his saber one after another, and shouted the scooter under the seat to follow.
Zhao Ji saw that there was a javelin in the hand of the native, and hurriedly drew the moon bow and prepared to shoot. There were only a hundred natives, and a dozen or so Iron Arm guards rushed back and forth, and they could shoot them all ten times at most.
The leader of the natives was an old man, and when he saw Zhao Ji and the others coming, he hurriedly took everyone to throw away the javelins and wooden shields in their hands and knelt on the ground.
Zhao Ji was puzzled again, put away the moon bow, slowly walked to the Turen, and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
It was only Zhao Ji who discovered that these natives were all injured, some old and some young, but Ding Zhuang was pitiful. Just when Zhao Ji was inexplicable again, suddenly a person behind him got off the horse crying, ran to the old man, knelt on the ground, hugged the old man and cried bitterly.
"Holy Lord, they are all members of the Saixia tribe, the tribe is very small, close to our Keelung City, and they are the only barbarian tribe that depends on us. They may have been attacked by other tribes, that's why they look like this. The old man is the patriarch of the Saixia tribe, and the one holding him is his eldest son, whose Han name is Zhao Tong, who is now serving in our army and is considered a hostage of the Saixia tribe. Gou Hongshe walked up to Zhao Ji and said.
"I don't understand, why do those tribes rebel and attack us?" Zhao Ji asked suspiciously.
"There were only seven rebel tribes. They were all tribes in the western part of the Central Mountains. In the past, the chicken coop village was relatively small, and they often came to trade. Now that Keelung City has expanded a lot, we will seek to develop it in an all-round way. In this way, they also encroached on their hunting territory. Gou Hongshe explained.
At this moment, nearly a thousand more people rushed out of the mountains and forests, and they all shouted one by one, as if they had come to pursue the Sexia tribe. The Sexia people hurriedly climbed up and formed a circle, ready to fight.
"Holy Lord, Holy Lord, I beg Holy Lord to save my people." Zhao Tong climbed in front of Zhao Ji's horse, and said in a clumsy Chinese crying and kowtowing.
"Saint, the pursuers are from the Atayal tribe, and the Atayal and Bunun are the two largest tribes in Liuqiu." Gou Hongshe explained.
"Can you kill them all?" Zhao Ji turned around and asked Liu Qi and Di Yongdao.
Seeing that the weapons of the Atayal clan were so poor, Zhao Ji was confident that a martial arts master like Liu Qi could solve it alone. Not to mention that there are still more than a dozen iron arm guards, and there is also a Shaolin monk Aoki who is as powerful as Liu Qi.
"Yes." Liu Qi, Aoki, and Di Yong arched their hands and said.
"Okay, I'll leave it to the three of you. I will bring someone to press you down. "Zhao Ji also has an opinion to know the skills of the three of them.
I think that at the beginning, Liu Qi's apprentice, the white-clothed assassin Shi Bao, alone killed more than 200 well-equipped iron arm guards. Now that Liu Qi is a master, can't he solve these nearly a thousand barbarians with short spears and wooden bows?
"Yes. The last general commanded" After the three finished speaking, they began to fight and immediately went up, preparing to deal with those barbarians. If the barbarians fled into the mountains and forests, relying on the terrain, they would probably not be able to solve it, but if the two sides fought desperately, it would not be the dish of the three of them?
At this moment, a native of the Atayal tribe with a ring of feathers on his head walked up to the front of the battle and whispered to the Saixia tribe. Zhao Tong hurriedly got up and responded again.
"What did they say?" Zhao Ji asked Gou Hongshe beside him.
"The patriarch of the Atayal tribe, Muked, asked the Sexia people, who are we? Zhao Tong said that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is here. Gou Hongshe replied.
The patriarch of the Atayal tribe was not ignorant of what was going on outside. The king of Liuqiu, who conquered them, surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and they knew about it. The Great Song Dynasty transported millions of people to Liuqiu for development at once, and invaded their hunting grounds, and he also knew it. The Great Song Dynasty is vast, and the people don't know tens of millions, and he also knows it.
The arrival of the emperor of a vast empire of tens of millions of people surprised the patriarch of the Atayal tribe. A general from Keelung City came to conquer them, and they were killed and wounded countless times, and now the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty are here, isn't that to exterminate the clan?
"Could it be that our attack on the Song people has alarmed the Great Song Emperor?" The patriarch of the Atayal tribe, Mu Kede, was worried. After hesitating for a long time, the Atayal patriarch Mukod immediately ordered his nearly 1,000 soldiers to lay down their weapons.
"Zhao Tong, go and ask them what they are going to do?" Zhao Ji saw that the people of the Atayal tribe had put down their weapons, so he commanded.
There was another burst of chatter, and then, Zhao Tong knelt in front of Zhao Xuan's horse and said: "Mu Kede said that they are the people of the Liuqiu country, and the Liuqiu country surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, so they are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, why did the Great Song Dynasty invade the hunting grounds of the people and force the people to have no way out." If they want gold, silver and iron ore, their tribe has a big iron mine, and they don't need it, they are willing to sacrifice it to the saint, and ask the saint to return the hunting ground to them and give them a way to live. ”
