Chapter 959: This Winter Is Not Too Cold (Three Watches!) )
"Anything more excessive?"
Zhao Hongyu paused.
Li Xiang continued: "Your Highness, you are the guy who doesn't know the way, he is not just insatiable. I've never seen anyone so shameless. Speaking of the official who was appointed to recruit An, Li Xiang's expression was distorted.
It can be seen how bad the impression of the recruiting officer is here in Li Xiang.
"That guy not only wants to rob me of Li Xiang's wealth, but even wants to wait until I take all my money, let the Dengzhou sailor exterminate me and my brothers, and then press the name of a thief who is difficult to change and gathers people to cause chaos."
I'll it, it seems that this guy is really ruthless.
Hearing Li Xiang say this, Zhao Hongyu also understood why Li Xiang had such a distorted expression when he mentioned that guy. At the same time, I also understand why Li Xiang is so entangled when she mentions the past in the past.
Don't say it's Li Xiang, if you encounter it yourself, you probably won't be able to forget it.
What kind of people are these, although the officials of the Ming Dynasty are basically not very reliable, but they will not be unreliable to this extent.
But it's not surprising to think about it, Li Xiang is just a Haikou for those officials. It is impossible to be regarded by them at all, and even Hattori Chizuru beside him, isn't he a pirate when he mentions Li Xiang.
For a person like Li Xiang, it is estimated that if he didn't control the trade routes on the sea, a merchant and official who wanted to come to the Ming Dynasty would not have caught his eyelids.
"Lao Li, these things are in the past. Now you will not have this kind of thing with me, like this kind of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, I can't do it. ", comforted Li Xiang, and at the same time made a guarantee to him.
Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand. It's not you. I'm just talking about the old official, and I ask Your Highness not to think about it. ”
Seeing that Li Xiang was a little scared, Zhao Hongyu smiled.
"I guess you shouldn't think nonsense, I'm afraid you'll think too much. It's just that we've just come into contact now, and the days to come will be long, and you will slowly learn the Tao. ”
Zhao Hongyu said to Li Xiang.
"Of course I am relieved of Your Highness, Master Wang has already made it very clear where I am." , Li Xiang hurriedly said.
Speaking of Master Wang, Zhao Hongyu asked, "Oh, speaking of Master Wang." Why didn't he come back with you? And what about that Liu Da scar? ”
Yes, this time Li Xiang brought people to Nagasaki, and Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar did not follow Li Xiang's side.
After Zhao Hongyu saw Li Xiang, he always felt as if something was missing. But he didn't care too much, and now after Li Xiang's reminder, Zhao Hongyu remembered it, isn't it a little less, Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar are not there.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu mention Liu Da Scar and Master Wang, Li Xiang replied: "Let His Highness know the truth." Liu Dascar is left on Amami Island, and when I go back and bring my brothers, he will come back with him. As for Master Wang, he has already gone to the Ming Dynasty to pick up his family. ”
listened to Li Xiang's answer. Only then did Zhao Hongyu know the whereabouts of the two people.
"Well, the matter of Master Wang picking up his family members has been mentioned to me a long time ago."
"Your Highness, some of my brothers are already old. I don't think it's a good place to live at sea anymore. I wonder if His Highness Lu Dao can give them a way to live and let them have a stable life? ”
Li Xiang said this, in fact, it was also a question that the old brothers explained before they came. is to ask if these old, weak, sick and disabled people can enter Zhao Song's household registration and go to the Americas.
After all, a family of 200 acres of high-quality fertile land is very attractive to them.
Zhao Hongyu saw Li Xiang asking, and after thinking about it, he said to Li Xiang: "Also, we have to arrange it for them so that the big guys can rest assured." Then I want to give them two choices, one is to settle down here in Kyushu, they can do business here, and enjoy some preferential policies and support, if you don't want to choose this, then go to the Americas. Now there is a rule in our Song Empire, but whoever enters the household registration will be divided into 200 acres of fertile land, but if they enter the household registration of Zhao Song, they are the people of Zhao Song, but they must abide by the rules of Zhao Song. ”
For Li Xiang, of course, it is better to go to the Americas.
Although Kyushu is already under the control of this crown prince, God knows when the road will fall into the flames of war.
My old brothers also saw this clearly.
Therefore, of course, Li Xiang knows that his old brothers will definitely choose to go to the Americas.
There is absolutely no doubt about this.
What's good here in Kyushu is just a small deal.
But after going to the Americas and becoming a citizen of Zhao Song, he could get 200 acres of fertile land.
For the Ming people, land is the most attractive, even more attractive than silver.
If there is land, then there will be no starvation.
As long as you are diligent, life will not be very bad.
In fact, for the Chinese ethnic group, everyone is not very ambitious.
A few cows on 200 acres of land, and the days when the wife and children are hot on the kang are the most desirable.
If they hadn't survived at the beginning, then they wouldn't have followed Li Xiang here to be pirates.
Even Li Xiang herself, if she could, she wanted to go to the Americas to be a landlord.
"Your Highness, I don't know if I want to be like the Song Dynasty, will I be able to get 200 acres of land?" , Li Xiang saw that Zhao Hongyu, the Yellow Prince, was in a good mood now, so he had the courage to ask.
Don't look at Li Xiang as a sea giant, in fact, he is also a small people's thought.
"Hey, of course you're welcome. However, you still have to rectify the military affairs of the Navy Division here in Kyushu, even if you are given 200 acres of land, you can't go to the Americas to manage it. Zhao Hongyu would not object to the idea of entering the household registration of the Song Empire.
When Li Xiang heard this, she was really relieved, and she also let her hanging heart relax.
As long as the crown prince doesn't refuse.
In fact, what Zhao Hongyu said, Li Xiang himself didn't know what to do.
But. He didn't ask this for his own plans, but for his family.
thinks that Li Xiang is a generation of sea giants and has created a great reputation, but his two sons are not like him at all but very honest, and at a glance, they know that Lu Dao definitely does not eat this bowl of rice.
So, Li Xiangke broke his heart for the sake of these two sons.
If you can save some family business for your two sons and let them live in peace, it's also a good choice, isn't it?
At least even if he Li Xiang had an accident and lost his life, his own incense can still be passed on.
As for the daughters of the family. Li Xiangcai didn't think about it.
Li Xiang's thinking is the same as everyone in this era, a typical patriarchal preference.
"Your Royal Highness, the subordinates mean that after entering the Song Dynasty, they will send their families to live in the Americas. Of course, the subordinates want to rectify the military affairs of the Navy Division here in Kyushu, but the family can be on the American side. ”
After speaking, Li Xiang lowered his head, and then waited for Zhao Hongyu's answer.
Zhao Hongyu didn't think much about it, and quickly gave an answer.
"Okay, that's fine. Your family can be sent to the city of Manhattan. There is now a large population, various urban construction plans have been established, and there is a lot of fertile land. If you have money, you can buy some land for your family over there. It's okay to be a landlord. Zhao Hongyu has no objection to Li Xiang's idea at all.
Anyway, the territory in the Americas is large and the population is small, and Li Xiang is willing to send his family over. Zhao Hongyu can't ask for it.
And, with her family over there, Li Xiang will settle down here, won't she?
In disguise. It's equivalent to his family being over there, so he became a hostage.
Only a fool would refuse.
"Your Highness, there are almost 200 acres of land, and there are not many people in my family. There's too much land to plant, isn't it, my two sons...... Alas. ”
Speaking of his two sons, Li Xiang couldn't stop sighing.
Hahaha!
Zhao Hongyu laughed when he heard this, and then said to Li Xiang: "In fact, you don't have to worry about this problem at all, there are special black slave traders in Manhattan, and those black slaves are all the so-called Kunlun slaves in the past, all of them are very black, and they look like Yakshas, but these guys are really strong and strong, and they are definitely good at work, as long as they are fed, it is definitely worth the money." ”
Kunlun Nu?
When Li Xiang heard Zhao Hongyu say this, her eyes suddenly widened, looking like a curious baby.
Seriously, he hadn't seen Kunlun Nu yet, but he had seen descriptions of it from some novels.
And what Li Xiang didn't expect was that there was still a slave trade on the side of the Song Empire.
"These slaves were all trafficked by those Southern Barbarian merchants, and our Zhao and Song Empire would not do such a thing. But with these slaves, if you buy some land in the country and let your family become landlords, it is still a good life. ”
Li Xiang thought about it carefully, and it was really like this.
I am not short of money, I can buy a large piece of land on the coast of the Americas, and let my family become a big landlord or something. You can even buy some slaves to become a real master.
If the environment in the Song Empire is really good, it is much stronger than in Daming.
Li Xiang's heart was also excited.
"You can do this yourself, and I'll say everything you need to say. But if I want to go to the Americas, I'll have to wait, after all, the distance is too long, and I'm a little nervous about the sea ship at hand. Wait until I send a message to them to send some transport ships over before I can bring your family over. ”
With His Royal Highness's words, his subordinates will be at ease. As long as the family can live a stable life, Li Xiang's old bones will be sold to His Royal Highness. ”
got Zhao Hongyu's promise, Li Xiang completely let go of a big stone in his heart.
After chatting with Li Xiang for a while, Zhao Hongyu looked at the sky and found that it was not early. said to Li Xiang: "It's not early today, let's go and rest." ”
Then, after the two of them were polite, Li Xiang went to the guest room under the guidance of the maid. Zhao Hongyu returned to his room and went to see Emma and Sara.
From Li Xiang's arrival in Nagasaki to his decision to take refuge in Zhao Hongyu, it did not take long. It may not even take half a day, but the efficiency is still very high.
Zhao Hongyu didn't expect such a result to occur.
He originally thought that if he wanted to recruit Li Xiang, he would have to spend a lot of words.
In fact, he knew that after entering Nagasaki, when Li Xiang saw the warships docked at the dock, the once powerful Sea Dragon King had changed some of his minds.
After returning to Emma and Sarah, Zhao Hongyu took off his heavy bearskin coat at the door.
At this time, Emma and Sierra had not rested, and the two of them were playing flying chess.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu walk in, Emma glanced at him and smiled, and continued to focus on her game.
Sara asked.
"Everything went very smoothly, and I was able to leave Nagasaki in two days."
Zhao Hongyu, who walked in, sat directly between Emma and Sara, and then briefly talked about the progress of the matter.
"Well, that's fine. We can finally get out of this place, I'm tired of being here. After holding her chess pieces and moving according to the points she thrown, Emma raised her head again and said to Zhao Hongyu.
In the end, it is the heart of a child, and Emma has long been impatient to stay here in the Wa Kingdom.
It's just that she knows that the Wa Kingdom side is very important to her husband, so the well-behaved Emma has never said it to Zhao Hongyu.
The room occupies more than sixty flat and boxy.
The floor was covered with thick tatami mats, and a thick layer of cotton mats was laid on top of the tatami mats, and some small copper stoves were placed around to warm the room, so as not to make this big room so cold.
"The winter here is not pleasant, it is a little wet, you should pay attention to your body."
Emma and Sara were both wearing thick clothes, and the clothes they wore on the outside were from this era, but they were wearing different clothes on the inside.
Camel hair thermal underwear, as well as a warm baby for five cents each, allow the two girls to easily resist the cold of this era. No more fighting death every winter, as you did before.
"Don't worry, we're not that weak. The clothes you got us called 'underwear' are really warm to wear, but they just feel a little restrictive. Sara smiled at Zhao Hongyu, and then lifted her lower abdomen clothes to reveal the thermal underwear inside. And this amazing little thing actually heats up on its own, so I don't have to worry about the cold. ”
Zhao Hongyu saw the warm baby attached to the inside of the clothes, and thought to himself: "Maybe this thing can be sold here for a big price." Five cents a sticker, sell it to those merchants of the Ming Dynasty to ...... noble relatives' (to be continued......
