Chapter 0340. The Japanese arrived

After the fire, the original vigorous and beautiful Jiufeng Mountain became devastated and scorched all over the place, but soon, countless people carried hoes, shovels rushed up the mountain, half of the roots, big stones, and debris were cleaned down the mountain, with the shovels flying, sledgehammers continued to smash down, and the prototype of the terraced fields of one after another began to be revealed in front of them. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

This time the progress is a little faster than before, because the labor force has added thousands of slang tribes near Jiufeng Mountain, Li Jie led people to raid for a few days, and the long cross street really frightened the relatively honest slang, and the bloody precedent of extermination, a large part of them went down the mountain according to Li Jie's ultimatum, and a small part also fled towards the deeper mountains and forests, and the ground of Quanzhou was clean.

Moreover, the indigenous Han people in Fujian have increased their enthusiasm for work.

Seeing the hot labor scene at the foot of the mountain, Li Jie couldn't help but provoke a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't help complaining: "With so many trees, how much charcoal can be burned!" ”

Wang Wei was confused again, and the old Yang Yi on the side admonished worriedly: "Your Highness should not be proud and complacent, Quanzhou is only a corner of Fujian, and it has been adjacent to the Han people for a long time, and it is relatively sinicized." Now that we have completely torn our faces with the barbarians, we don't know what kind of bloody revenge awaits us. ”

Seeing Lao Yang Yi's worried gaze, Li Jie couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and persuaded: "Uncle Yang, anyway, we live here to develop, sooner or later, for the sake of living space, we will clash with those slang people and sultry indigenous barbarians. ”

"It's true, but it's the old man."

Even so, Yang Yi still doesn't seem to agree, and it's no wonder, after all, the Confucian education he received needed to be appeased, while Li Jie's behavior was influenced by another much-criticized regime's successful precedent.

Ancient Rome!

Ancient Rome can develop from a small coastal city-state to a huge empire, on the one hand, Rome's combat effectiveness, the corps system is indeed advanced, on the other hand, the Romans are ruthless enough, if you go to any big city in Europe one or two hundred years ago, you will be quite surprised to find that it seems that all Roman cities are similar, especially impressive is the cross-execution ground on the outskirts of the city and the blood-stained Colosseum in the city.

Relying on strict punishment and strict laws, those who obey me prosper and those who rebel against me die, the Gauls who dare to make trouble, the Germanic people, the Semites, are either exterminated or sold as slaves and assimilated into Roman society, the speed of Rome's indoctrination of barbarians is much faster than that of China, if it is not for a ruthless force, Rome will not be able to develop a large empire across Europe, Asia and Africa, although he does not plan to copy the Roman model, Li Jie still knows that according to the Confucian set of barbarians, he will not want to get out of Fujian in this life.

As everyone knows, the ancestors of the previous life, this life should be regarded as the descendants, General Chen Yuanguang, the Holy King of Kaizhang, led the army to fight hard for a full seventeen years when he opened a Zhangzhou, and Li Jie didn't have so much time to spend here.

As soon as he leveled the old Yang Yi, before Li Jie could breathe a sigh of relief, a resentful voice came from behind him: "Your Highness, what about the grain and grass?" ”

"This will add more than 3,000 mouths to eat, and the grain will not be harvested for half a month. As soon as he heard this, the heads of Lao Yang Yi and Wang Wei also drooped, and Li Jie, who couldn't help but look at it, scratched his head.

"Well, uh, there should be news coming soon."

It's really a coincidence, just when Li Jie was depressed, it was Hu Cao Laiji who was dressed in an official robe and was as dirty as a mud monkey, running up the mountain out of breath, and shouting from afar: "Your Highness, Your Highness!" ”

"There are so many ships coming to the port, and there are still widows!"

"Widows?" Old Yang Yi and Wang Xuance were confused for a few moments, but Li Jie patted his thigh happily: "The food is finally here!" ”

The grain in the land of China was consumed because of the battle of Goguryeo, but the Wa State was different, millions of Wa people were almost all growing grain, and the Wa State of this era can be different from the impression of later generations of samurai, daimyo and separatist side, the people of the whole country are divided into tribes and firmly bound to the land, all the land is in the hands of a few noble ministers inherited from the primitive society, the people are half hungry to death, and the grain of the ministers is moldy.

From the establishment of the port of Dengzhou, the main trade object of the navigation guild formed by Li Jie and Li You was the Wa Kingdom, and the cloth, paper, books, metal products, carriages and other backward goods of the Tang Dynasty were lacking, and similarly, the copper, gold and silver, slaves, and the Tang Dynasty were also in short supply.

The reason why Li Jie chose to establish a foothold in Quanzhou is because this place is a famous port, and the development of trade in this place is the way to strengthen Fujian, and now the first step is to step out.

As soon as they heard the grain, Lao Yang Yi and Wang Xuance's excited eyes turned red, and they almost shouted: "Don't lead the way quickly." ”

Lai Ji hesitated for a while, gasped for breath and smiled dryly: "The grain minister doesn't know, but those Japanese envoys are really, really a little unruly, and this still requires the prince and a few Shangguan Duoduo Haihan." ”

"There is food, and now he can laugh when he scolds his mother." Old Yang Yi waved his hand very casually.

Not only is it not polite, it is simply no one in sight, on the newly built restaurant in the port, a few Japanese dwarfs are kneeling on the opposite side of the wine table, drinking casually, and on the other hand, they are also arrogant and said: "It's too broken here, and it's extremely bad compared to our sunrise country." ”

It is true that the new city built in Quanzhou next to the port is still under construction, and the streets look very messy, but the overall look is still quite majestic, especially these are all planned by Lao Yang Yi, listening to the dry Tang language, Lao Yang Yi couldn't help but jump on the green tendons on his head, his fists clenched and gurgling, and Wang Xuance on the side persuaded in a cold sweat and was frightened: "Boss, for the sake of food, endure, endure!" ”

"Our sunrise country is the eastern kingdom, my family Su I into the deer Lord said, and you this backward barbarian land trading is already a great favor, the sea route has to go more than ten days, the original price is not good, although your Tang country's armor and sword is vulgar, but we Su I into the deer Lord pity the Tang people, just reluctantly with these transactions, in the original price we also have two thousand knives, five hundred pairs of armor, and your ship is good, Su I into the deer Lord said, if you still want to trade with my sunrise country, next time the ship will send him half."

Although he didn't know how much the transaction volume was, when he heard that the little man of the Japanese Kingdom belittled the sword and armor he was responsible for forging like this, and opened his mouth widely, Wang Xuance, who had just admonished him, jumped up on the spot, and it was all up to Li Jie to suppress it.

"Grain, grain!"

"By the way, the two busy female officers on the port just now still have a bit of a look, let them come and accompany Lord Ben for a drink!" Pinching the wine cup, the eight-character beard of the Japanese State was arrogant and arrogant, but this time it was Li Jie's own face so black that it was about to rain, and he received immigrants at the port, reflecting his kindness to King Fujian, not Yang Xinyi and Xiao Man'er, the two Nizi or which one?

With a bang, the precious celadon cup was directly thrown to the ground by Li Jie, and more than a dozen stout Turkic guards like cattle came in, and immediately surrounded a few Japanese envoys in the middle, stared at by a pair of bloody red bull eyes, and several Japanese people couldn't say all their words.

"We, we can be the envoys of the country, you, you Central Plains people are so unruly? The two countries intersect, but they don't come to make it! ”

In the last sentence, the little man was almost about to cry, and Wang Wei, the only one who was calmer, was also about to cry, and his big arms were all in front of Li Jie, whose eyes were red, and he screamed with all his might: "Adults, adults, food, food!" ”

"Yes, yes, food, don't cut the envoy, are we the state of Tang etiquette, Berog, before receiving the wind, please invite a few distinguished guests of the Japanese Kingdom to the city to see the unique scenery of my Quanzhou!"

Li Jieqi's voice was gone, but his words made the angry old Yang Yi stunned, and immediately laughed in a sinister manner.

"We're not going!"

It's a pity that a few Japanese dwarfs were dragged out in the flow of Turkic cattle and sent away the afterlife of the Japanese Kingdom, Li Jie spit out a breath of turbidity, and stood up with a smile and shouted: "Order, unload the ship!" ”

"Your Highness, you haven't traded yet, isn't that okay?" At this time, Lao Yang Yi was a little hesitant, and he didn't want Li Jie to care indifferently, and he smiled and waved his hand: "The boat belongs to the king, and the goods on it will be used as the fare!" ”

Can it be more shameless? The three Fujian bigwigs were immediately speechless.

Twenty lucky boats model sixty-meter big ship, the grain pulled is really piled up into a mountain, Wang Xuance, who has been worried for many days, is happy, regardless of the order to move to the warehouse, the surprise brought by the Japanese people is really a lot, in addition to the grain, as the ballast stone turned out to be copper, and even hundreds of catties of silver, dozens of catties of gold.

Seeing these two precious metals that shimmered with golden light, Li Jie couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

Although it is said that all of them should be detained, but after all, they have to continue to trade with the Japanese people, this side is unloaded, that side, after visiting the white bone Jingguan outside Quanzhou City, after the cross road garden, a group of dwarfs with pale faces were brought back to the dining table of the restaurant, this time a group of Japanese people are not arrogant, and they knelt on the ground with a uniform puff under the leadership of the head of the dwarf.

"The supreme Lord Min spares his life, the small, the small one is the son of Lord Su and I enter the deer, eh, the concubine gave birth to it, and the lord of the deer loves the little one very much, as long as the little life is spared, Lord Zhulu will definitely exchange the whole ship of grain, gold and silver."

"This king is not a robber or trafficker, why are you being held hostage?" Li Jie couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly, and the envoys of the Japanese State who listened to it were immediately stunned, and then sat down on the ground in a cold sweat, scolding in his heart, Damn, why did you let Lao Tzu go to see those skeletons if you didn't want to make money? Scared Dr. Ben to death!

Thinking about the half-rotten skeleton full of maggots on the crucifixion, the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom couldn't help but shiver again.

"The price set before is as much as it is, although this king is trustworthy, he is not wronged." Holding his arms, Li Jie still hummed with some resentment, and the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom who listened hurriedly nodded again and again, but after a while, Li Jie suddenly smiled and snapped his fingers, and after a while, more than a dozen people walked up quickly, and the eyes of the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom were straight.

It's not a stunning beauty, but ten muscular men, looking at the heroic armor, the envoy of the Su family couldn't help but ask in a cold sweat: "His Royal Highness the King of Min, who are you?" ”

"How is our Datang's armor, can't it enter the eyes of Su and my family?"

Seeing the exquisite Xuantie armor, the eyes of the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom immediately lit up again, although the trade between Dengzhou and the Tang Dynasty had opened up a lot, but for armor and weapons, Li You's restrictions were very strict, and the concept that non-people of our clan would have different hearts was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, otherwise he would not have the courage to blackmail Li Jie during the difficult period.

Full of surprise and greed, the envoy of the Wa Kingdom asked in a trembling voice, "Your Royal Highness the King of Min, what do you mean?" ”

A strange smirk bloomed ...... Li Jie's face.
