It should be said that the concession was a result of the struggle between the two forces of Hassan and Saleh and Mahmoud.

Ding Yi's original meaning was to gain a foothold as a territory needed for the transition period, and to cultivate some of his own power through guò's exemption from the rules of the city. Because he has no goods and no population, this concession has more symbolic meaning than practical meaning, and is not more about colonization, but about self-preservation, similar to the concept of the embassy district.

But in fact, under the wrestling of many parties, this matter was beyond Ding Yi's expectations: "The two staggered streets are used as the scope of the concession. Ding Yi took a look at it, and the new document signed by Mahmud, the current temporary city lord, Hassan, the tax officer, and Saleh, the affairs officer, demarcated a larger area than the previous document signed by the dead ghost city lord, and the scope of the proposed concession was about the same as that of a large residential community in later generations.

"For the rent of a horse of silk every year, they will build a wall for this concession." Morena reported to Ding Yi, and it seemed that they had talked about a city within a city. But Morena wasn't optimistic, "It seems that the three of them have a consensus of trying to keep us out of the woods. ”

Ding nodded, it is true, it is a city within a city if it sounds good, and if it is not good, it is not a cage? A wall can be said to ensure the safety of the Ming people in the concession, or it can be to ensure the normal life of other residents in the city outside. Perhaps the only thing that can be thankful is that these two streets are right by the sea.

"I'm afraid the locals in the concession will be withdrawn." Guo Jin said worriedly.

"Don't worry too much." Ding laughed.

Although there is no supply and there is not enough manpower. Ding Yi is even more unlikely to develop industry here, but as for how to revitalize this concession, he had already asked the former city lord to sign the following jiàn. Ding Yi already has a draft. As for Mahmoud, Hassan, and Saleh's thoughts, Ding Yi didn't want to guess at all, it was meaningless, not only their thoughts were meaningless to Ding Yi, but even the wooden bones were bundled, and they were just the concept of a military port and an ocean-going supply depot. His gaze has never been limited to this.

Bulgari soon returned to the city of Mukudushu with nearly 200 black teenagers, and in fact no one knew how old these black aboriginal teenagers were. Neither they nor their parents could tell the concept of age, and Bulgari only picked a few teenagers who seemed to meet Ding's criteria: no tattoos, no tattoos and other miscellaneous things. Then bring them back.

"Do their parents agree?" Ding Yi asked Bulgari, in fact, this is a redundant question. For the tribes in the rainforest. Ding Yi, who was able to kill the giant crocodile, was the hero's cun, and the salt that had been distributed before also made them feel that there would be a rich reward for following Ding Yi...... They also want their children to live better and not have to suffer, so there is no concept of reluctance at all.

Bulgari smiled: "If you go back to Nayan, they are naturally willing." ”

This is also something that Ding Yi expected. He asked this question for the sake of procedural fairness.

The construction of the fence soon began. And the locals in the concession are moving out one after another, almost every day.

Or if Mahmoud had warned Hakim that the little merchant had not come to seek out Ding Yi and their troubles for the time being. With the six vouchers handed over by Li Laohan, it is also very smooth to contact the six shops in the city, I don't know if it is Zheng He's Jinyi Wei who stayed here, they are all loyal and reliable; Or because of leaving their hometowns and going to China, these people have a greater sense of belonging to China. In short, not only did there not have any problems, but the six shops also delivered the accounts and surpluses of the past years, so that Ding Yi could at least not worry about the needs of life for a long time.

After the wall was repaired, almost eight or nine of the locals in the concession were relocated.

It seems that the concession in the wall has a very strong smell and atmosphere of decay, and there is no human habitation.

Even Emperor Jing felt that it was inappropriate, and said to Ding Yi: "Why did you make it a military camp again?" Rujin I know that you are a soldier, but you won't go anywhere, so you will be reorganized into a military camp, right? "More than 200 black teenagers, trained by Bulgley, Guo Jin, and Li Le, because of the language barrier, sticks and beatings are indispensable, if it is not for three meals a day, I am afraid that on the third day of training, some people will think of escaping back to the rainforest.

"These more than 200 people have to be trained first, as for the livelihood in the concession, we have to have our own strength to manage, otherwise, the husband is not guilty." Ding Yi explained this to Emperor Jing, perhaps because Ding Yi had assigned too many affairs to Emperor Jing, so that the latter was too tired to argue with him, Emperor Jing pursed his lips, and did not continue, and went away to do his business.

He had a lot to do, such as Chinese lessons for these black teenagers.

Learning the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty is something that these black and indigenous teenagers are keen on, not because they are particularly studious, but because they find that if they can understand the instructor's words, they can be beaten less. I have to say that at this time, the Chinese people, except for Ding Yi, everyone else is more or less like Li Xiaopang and Cao Jixiang, they generally have the pride of the Heavenly Empire, they are really very simple and rude to these black people, and they don't treat them as human beings at all.

"How's your team of Kunlun slaves?" The soldiers who serve as instructors are all from the special brigade, whether they are self-sufficient, receptive and perceptive, of course, they are excellent, so they subconsciously use themselves as a reference, and it makes those black teenagers even more unbearable, "I won't mention my team, pigs, pigs are really fucking smarter than them!" I'm really going to be by them! ”

And another veteran, wryly smiled and shook his head and said: "This state, the water and soil are not good, maybe the pigs here are much more stupid than the Chinese ones, you can only say that the Chinese pigs are smarter than these Kunlun slaves...... "You can still compare the IQ of pigs and natives very seriously, it can be seen that that kind of disdain is really deep in the bone marrow."

Li Le just came over and heard it, raised his foot and kicked the two veterans: "How smart are you?" Shut up, don't teach Mr. to hear it, discriminate against others, and when the time comes, I won't bring you food...... By the way, how did you learn the big food? Mr. will be assessed the day after tomorrow, and he won't be able to pass the test then......"

"Don't worry!" A veteran from the communications class of the special brigade has a very good memory, otherwise how can he memorize the codebook? As for the language, especially the spoken language, they live in the wooden bones, which is really not too much of a problem, "The old brothers in our class are not worried...... Hehe, the pistol squad and the cavalry squad are a little cowardly......"

The days passed peacefully, Mahmoud and Hassan and Saleh were still continuing their open and secret fights, and Hassan and Saleh often came to visit Ding Yi and maintained a good friendship on the surface, but they actually felt that Ding Yi's group was a terrible unstable factor, they didn't want to provoke Ding Yi, and they didn't want Ding Yi to regenerate anything in the wooden bones, so it was the best choice to let them stay in the concession.

The White Pterodactyl was very indignant at this, and even proposed several times that he should lead the troops to rebel and kill Mahmud or something.

Ding Yi's answer to him was also very direct: "If you want to stay here, become the lord of this city with wooden bones, your children and grandchildren will also stay here and inherit your family business." Well, whatever you want. If you want to return to China, you want to see a world bigger than the wooden bones, don't have this kind of stupid thought, don't think about it, not only the wooden bones, but I don't plan to get involved in the Ottoman Empire as much as possible, if Constantinople can continue to hold on, we will support them, but, within five hundred years, for the Ming Dynasty, it is not necessary to set foot in the Ottomans. ”

If you need rich land, the Americas, which are still in primitive tribes, are the best fertile land; If you want to come into contact with other civilizations and absorb their strengths and strengths, Europe is the first choice. Whether it is the plundering of resources or the plundering of culture and technology, Ding Yi does not feel the need to wrestle with the Ottomans, "You must see the ocean and rule it, which is our top priority." ”

So the white winged dragon also fell into busyness, because Ding Yi gave him a task: to write a "Theory of Sea Power" about the ocean.

This is a matter of great pain for the commander of the city guards, even if he is still a loyal and excellent brocade guard.

When winter came this year, Ding Yi didn't feel the chill of winter at all.

But the more than 200 black teenagers, led by Bulgari and Guo Jin, completed their closing ceremony: they entered the rainforest, used spears, scimitars, bows and arrows, and with the cooperation of tactical teams, through the rainforest, on the edge of streams and lakes, and each squad completed the task of hunting at least one hippopotamus.

Hippopotamus, a hippopotamus of more than a ton and almost two tons, even crocodiles dare not provoke their hippos, complete the hunt with cold weapons, and there are no deaths or serious injuries, this is the training effect that makes Ding Yidu very amazing behind his back, and he has to be convinced, the black race really has a terrible talent in athletic talent, of course, this must be under the premise that they can get a good education and training, in order to play. If left to their own devices, their lazy nature tends to make most of them inactive.

And because it is no longer possible for Ding Yi to go down in person to take charge of the training affairs, and his appearance often brings rewards and rewards, so these black teenagers, after learning the official language of the Ming Dynasty, they spontaneously regarded Ding Yi as a god, led them out of the rainforest, and taught them to learn about the gods of civilization from the ignorant, backward, and ignorant natives.

When Ding Yi learned about it, he talked to them several times about it, but the effect was only to make this worship go underground.

And on this day, it was also the first time in more than half a year that someone made trouble at the gate of the concession.

What Ding Yi didn't expect was that he actually knew the troublemaker brought in by Guo Jin. (To be continued......)
