Chapter 174: The Crown Princess's Counterattack Ten
Even with comparison, Zheng Guanyin's exchanges with the Indians were relatively successful. When the Indians wanted to learn housing and farming techniques, Zheng Guanyin generously agreed. The two Indians left with great joy.
After the two left, Zhong Libo couldn't help but smile: "Niangniang's hand is good at putting a long line and dropping big fish." ”
Zheng Guanyin also smiled: "If you don't give them some sweetness, how can they get Longwangshu?" As long as they want more, they have to get in touch with us more and finally merge into us and become our people. ”
Zhong Libo gave a thumbs up: "Niangniang is far-sighted, high, really high!" ”
The Indians thanked Zheng Guanyin for his generosity and sent them a return gift, and apart from the beasts they had hunted, there was another thing that made Zheng Guanyin very happy. Nothing else but corn. This is one of three high-yielding crops. Zheng Guanyin's storage warehouse has potatoes, but no corn. She originally thought that she would ask people to look for it after she arrived at the origin of corn in the Americas, but she didn't expect to be sent to the door by the Indians.
Zheng Guanyin was happy and asked Zhong Libo to provide the Indians with a batch of farm tools, so that the Indians were even more grateful to her. These Indians lived a simple life and had a very simple personality, and they easily fell into the pit dug by Zheng Guanyin and Zhong Libo, and gradually walked out of the mountains to live under the mountain, and then gradually were influenced by the civilians under the mountain, and gradually joined them and became the leaders under Zheng Guanyin.
This is also because these people are descendants of Yin Shang who were assimilated by Zheng Guanyin's group so quickly, and if they were replaced by other Indians with their own civilization heritage, they would not have been assimilated so quickly.
Two years later, a new city was established. The walls of the city are ten feet high, made of stone and cement, and are very strong. The main roads and streets of the city are paved with concrete, flat and sturdy, the streets are lined with flowers and plants, and a few steps back are the houses and shops that have been built, of course, many of which are empty, and no one has entered, let alone opened them. In fact, there are still few people in the city today, and with the Indians who have joined the city, the population of the entire city is less than 100,000.
Although there are no people living in the shops and houses, they are very strong and beautifully built, with a few open windows, real open windows, and the windows of the house are all glass. Although Zheng Guanyin sold the manufacturing recipes of cement and glass to the major families, the things they produced could only be sold on the mainland on the Datang side, and they couldn't care about the New World.
At the intersection of several main roads is the city center, where Zheng Guanyin had a four-story building modeled after the Hofburg Imperial Palace in Vienna. Zheng Guanyin designated this place as an office building, thinking that all affairs were handled in the office building. As for herself, she and her children do not live in an office building, but in a nearby house.
The office building Qian is a large square, with a fountain built in the center of the square, planted with flowers and plants, and placed seats, as a place for the leisure and gathering of the people in the city. There are garbage cans at intervals on the main roads and streets, and there are men over 50 years old who are in charge of cleaning the city, so make sure to keep the city clean.
Public carriages run on the main roads, bicycles and tricycles run on the streets, and children, Chinese and Indians, carry small school bags to school. Li Jiancheng's fifth and sixth sons were also among the students who went to school, and several of their older brothers were sent to work by Zheng Guanyin. Among them, Li Chengde took over the work of Li Chengdao's shipbuilding, and Li Chengdao was taught and cultivated by Zheng Guanyin by his side, and trained him to become a qualified heir.
On this day, the two mothers and sons went to the Great Salt Lake together. The Great Salt Lake is the largest saltwater lake in the New World and has a very high salt content. Zheng Guanyin built a salt drying field near the salt lake, and the salt produced was enough for the Tang Empire.
"I've seen Niangniang, I've seen Your Highness." A guard rode a bicycle to the two men and gave them a salute - in order to facilitate the transportation of salt, a concrete road was also built between the Great Salt Lake and Yancheng, and the bicycles ran very smoothly.
"What happened? You came here specifically for you? Li Chengdao asked suspiciously.
The guard replied: "Back to His Highness, General Yin has returned safely from Datang." ”
"What?" Lee Seung-do and Zheng Guanyin both showed surprise.
Half a year ago, Yin Zhenhai took the navy he formed and returned to Datang on three newly made seagoing ships - the nautical chart was provided by Zheng Guanyin, drawn according to the modern nautical chart, which was very detailed. Relying on this chart, they will definitely not go the wrong way - they are going to the Tang Dynasty to abduct the population, and by the way, buy the things that the New World lacks, such as tea trees, mulberry trees, silkworms, books......
Half a year has passed, and they have finally returned.
Li Chengdao hurriedly asked: "General Yin, are they okay, are there any injuries on the road?" ”
Before the guards came, they knew that Li Chengdao and Zheng Guanyin would definitely ask some news first, so they had already inquired about the news, and replied: "Back to Your Highness, General Yin had a smooth journey without any damage, not only brought back many good things, but also brought back more than 5,000 Tang people. ”
The three big ships can each carry 2,000 people, Yin Zhenhai took 1,000 people with him when he left, and now 6,000 people are back, and he is really full of people.
Li Chengdao and Zheng Guanyin were happy, took the bicycles from the hands of the entourage, one by one, rode fast, and rode in the direction of Yancheng, and the guards and entourage hurriedly followed with bicycles.
A long line gradually approached Yancheng. This column is naturally Yin Zhenhai's navy and the people of the Tang Dynasty they brought back. Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has had the emperor Li Er, which can be regarded as stable and peaceful, but although the emperor has worked hard, he can't help but be right with him.
Floods, droughts, locust plagues...... Alternate occurrences, especially locust plagues, which occur almost every year, causing the people to suffer unspeakably, and in order to have a stutter, in order to survive, the people have to choose to leave their homes. This is also the most important reason why Yin Zhenhai easily brought back 5,000 people. Yin Zhenhai came back this time and wanted to bring more ships back to Datang and bring more people to the New World. I just don't know how many big ships the shipyard has built.
The people who left their homeland were adrift at sea for two months, almost desperate, and many of them began to regret it, if it wasn't at sea, they all wanted to turn around and go back to Datang. But now, looking at the rolling rice and wheat fields outside the city, their eyes are shining!
