Chapter 133: The South China Sea Royal Family
"Our guests are here and not today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Father and Laipi, I am about to take your palace. The blue-clothed girl opposite the old man got up and grabbed his sleeve and didn't give up.
"Hahaha! This palace is your home, do you still need my precious daughter to attack it? Don't mess around, don't let the guests think that we are an impolite family. ā
After the old man finished speaking, he turned to Liang Ke. Without Ao Kefa's introduction, Liang Ke could also guess that the old man in front of him with slightly red cheeks and a great figure must be Ao Kefa's father, the ruler of the South China Sea, "Ebel" the Great.
"Jincang Aragorn has come to apologize to you!"
Reaching out not to hit the smiling man, Abel the Great laughed, patted Liang Ke's arm and said: "The lord of Aragon doesn't have to blame himself too much, not to mention that Ao Kefa also mobilized the people and ran to your territory to make a fuss, and even let that rude guy of Turami beat you with a whip, which makes me a little embarrassed!
Ao Kefa listened to his father's instructions, his expression did not change, he bowed down and stroked his chest to salute Liang Ke, Liang Ke hurriedly held on, and Ao Kefa took advantage of the situation to invite Liang Ke to sit.
According to the customs of the Sea Tribe, as long as there is no privacy involved, the guest and host interviews do not shy away from the family, and the Abel family is also curious about this magical human neighbor, so they all sit down with the Emperor Ebel. The servants presented the unique vegetables and fruits of the Shanghai nationality and seaweed wine, and the guests and hosts chatted harmoniously about family life.
"The Lord of Aragon is truly a rare genius, the Gallic wasteland...... Oh no, it should be called Jincang now, such a barren land that has been abandoned for thousands of years, under your leadership, in less than a year, such a huge change has taken place, and our sea clan has also gained some benefits!"
When it comes to government governance, Ebel the Great praised Liang Ke without hesitation, he heard a lot about Jincang and this human boy named Aragon from the word of mouth of his courtiers, for an emperor who dominates hundreds of millions of people of the Sea Clan, it is not commendable to govern a palm-sized place, but it is rare to guide economic construction on the track at such a fast speed, and no matter how you look at it, this young man will not have experience in this area, so he can only attribute this to innate understanding.
Liang Ke shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Compared with His Majesty's endless territory in the South China Sea, my little achievement is like a little light in the vast starry sky. ā
Liang Ke's modesty was even more appreciated by Abel, and he had a better impression of the neighbor in his mind.
"Your Majesty, speaking of the Sea Clan, Aragorn has a lot of questions, and I don't know if I can ask you for advice. ā
"Oh? ā
"Your Majesty, I don't seem to see any human beings except me all the way, why is that?"
Liang Ke's question made Emperor Able frown slightly, he touched his smooth and beardless jaw and groaned for a long time, then raised his head and said slowly: "Your Excellency, Lord Lord, you should know that from ancient times to the present, the relationship between the Sea Clan and you humans is not very good, although we look at it from the outside, there is no difference. Some people say that this is because the Sea Tribes yearn for the blue sky and the sun, and have launched countless attacks on the land where humans live. Yes, who wants to face the darkness forever? Aren't the Sea Tribes God's people, so they don't deserve the light?"
Able got up and walked to the window, looked into the distance, and continued in a low tone: "Look at this city, the first male city in the South China Sea, it is only three hundred nautical miles away, only enough for seven million people of the Sea Tribe, here, the light is only God's alms, beyond that gorgeous barrier, my poor children are still looking for their own shelter in the dark. ā
Able slowly turned around, stared into Liang Ke's eyes and asked, "You say, what if you are a sea clan?"
Liang Ke was silent, Abel didn't seem to intend to get an answer from Liang Ke, he sat back on the sofa, took a sip of his wine glass, and then continued: "The Sea Clan chose to go out, our predecessors began to try to make contact with humans, at the beginning, the human rulers were impressed by the treasures carried by the Sea Clan, and they allowed the Sea Clan to set foot on land. However, as the number of our people on land increased, they began to worry that their living space would be squeezed, so some people began to stretch out their black hands to our people, capturing and selling sea men and women as slaves, and for the benefit of our people, we had to wage war to defend our rights. The rest of the story is clear, the Sea Clan and humans have since cut off official contact, so no human guests have visited the city for a long time. ā
Liang Ke naturally knew this history, and he nodded slightly after listening to Emperor Able's words.
"God said, 'All living beings are equal', the sea tribe yearns for sunshine and rain, how can human beings not be fascinated by the magnificence of the sea? In fact, from their own point of view, whether it is the sea tribe or human beings, there is nothing wrong with making any choice, but the land is not as vast as the ocean after all, and it is difficult to accommodate the people of the sea tribe!"
Able agrees with Liang Ke's interpretation of desire, and he knows that Liang Ke has not finished speaking, and waits quietly for him to continue.
"Historically, all wars and conflicts are, in the final analysis, a struggle for resources. The same is true of the unhappiness of the Sea Clan with the humans, and Aragorn has a shallow idea, and I don't know if His Majesty would like to hear it. ā
"Oh? That must be a good idea, speak up and listen to it. ā
Not only Ebel, but everyone pricked up their ears, looking forward to Liang Ke's next words, knowing that if they could set foot on land in a peaceful way, it would be the best gospel for the Sea Clan.
"The land area is so small that there is even less space for people to live, so it is impossible to meet the needs of all the people of the Sea Tribe. But we can work together to make a rule, a rule that can increase communication with each other and slowly merge with each other. ā
"Take my small fiefdom as an example, I can offer your majesty a thousand permanent residences, and you can take it as a reward for your subjects, as long as they have the warrant issued by you, they can settle in my realm at any time, and enjoy the same rights as the people of the Golden Warehouse. Your Majesty, don't dislike less, the land area is too small, and no matter how many people there are, they will be wronged by the Sea Clan. ā
Liang Ke's words plunged the atmosphere into a brief silence, followed by a series of high-pitched screams from the female dependents seated.
"The god of the sea is above, is what the lord said true?"
"Father, you must give me a spot, and my little sister 'Lisa'. ā
"I want to build a big house with a swimming pool on a high hillside, and I feel happy every day by the pool, drinking sweet coconut milk. ā
"Monsieur Aragorn, you must leave me a piece of land large enough that I will build a castle like this one. ā
ā......ā
The young ladies and ladies were chattering and expressing their feelings excitedly, and Noble the Great coughed lightly twice, and everyone realized their gaffes, arranged their skirts, and sat down gracefully.
"My lord's generosity really shocked me and my family, and all I could think of was that the Golden Cang might have to allocate a large area of land for the resettlement of this thousand people, which would threaten the living space of your other lords. ā
Liang Ke smiled and said: "Everything has its two sides, of course, there are disadvantages and advantages, the key is how to look at the problem from a long-term strategic perspective." ā
Liang Ke did not intend to teach the king a lesson in his humble status, he determined the correctness of his proposal from Able's attitude, and immediately threw out other cooperation content.
On top of that, Jincang will also provide learning opportunities for children and young people of the Sea Clan, although there is also a certain number of places. The most important thing is that I plan to give all my fellow Sea Clan the opportunity to set foot on land, as long as you want, you can take the short-term pass issued by the Jincang City Hall to my territory at any time, enjoy the wonderful coastal scenery, and get familiar with the unique food of Jincang, and the Sea Clan friends can return here with gifts and continue their normal life, so as to make room for other Sea Clan compatriots to have the opportunity to go ashore to play. Actually, I have such an idea that it is well thought out, that longing, yearning, and desire for the unknown are determined by people's greedy nature, in fact, when they have seen what they yearn for, they are less curious, and they do not necessarily have to have it forever. I'll give you an example, the wind, sand and sunlight on land are not something that the sea tribe can endure for a long time, after all, our bodies are used to the original environment, and it is difficult to adapt to a different environment. Therefore, providing everyone with the opportunity to increase their knowledge is also a way to eliminate the hidden dangers of war. ā
Able's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he was deeply attracted by Liang Ke's unique way of thinking, and if this attempt was successful, it would undoubtedly effectively bridge the gap between the two races.
"What a wonderful gift you've given me today, I'm looking forward to it! Abel and my family will be the first Sea Clan visitors to the Golden Vault. Your Excellency has brought us such a rich gift, I wonder what I can do for you?"
"I only hope that Your Majesty will give my people the same opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the seabed as well. ā
"This ......"
Emperor Able's face showed a look of embarrassment, and Liang Ke quickly dispelled his concerns.
"Your Majesty, I will strictly control the number of people who come to Dulat, and if anyone dares to break the law here, then I will not interfere even if they are punished according to the laws of the Sea Clan. Besides, the people who can come here must be rich aristocrats, who will be able to have a good laugh here, and of course they will leave a fortune for Dulat, don't you think?"
When Able heard Liang Ke's words, he seemed to suddenly realize, and laughed and said, "You are really a shrewd fellow, I am afraid that my people will bring more wealth to the Golden Cang!
"Dum, go and prepare a sumptuous feast, and I will invite our distinguished guests to dinner. ā
The old housekeeper turned around and left, Abel and Liang Ke discussed some specific implementation details, an afternoon of time was fleeting, Liang Ke a complete set of team travel plans came out, so that Able was shocked, this new business model is simply unheard of, even the arrogant Ao Kefa was deeply impressed by Liang Ke's whimsy, the ladies were simply incomprehensible, since they could not communicate with this business wizard, they simply did not listen well, everyone said goodbye and left, only the girl who played chess with Abel dragged her pink cheeks, stared at Liang Ke's face and listened with relish, and occasionally interjected to ask a few words, and the content asked was also the key to the problem, Liang Ke also patiently answered them one by one.
Later, after Ao Kefa's introduction, Liang Ke learned that this beautiful girl who was just over twenty years old was the youngest daughter of Emperor Ebel, whose name was "Shisha", and that the life span of the Sea Clan was much longer than that of humans, although she was in her early twenties, she was so green that she was like a clownfish swimming among the corals, and she looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
