Chapter 314: Jing Qing's Selfishness
Jingqing wrote out the surnames of the hundred families and asked these people to choose a surname for themselves, and he used the two characters in the original names of these people as names, so that these people had the same name as Daming.
When these people have the next generation, who can still remember who he used to be, he will only remember that he is a Ming person.
On the same day, these people moved into Daming Town, and lived in a house used as a dormitory, with bunk beds, a thatched pit behind the house, a side room that could be used as a bathhouse, and a well at the entrance of the courtyard could be used to carry water.
After handing out buckets and basins, as well as towels, the first thing Ha San asked them to do was to scrub their bodies clean and put on a pair of five-point pants.
At the very least, cover the crotch.
Jiang Boling and others disliked the natives before, but at this time, they heard that only more than 30 people had been transformed into Ming people, and they were very disappointed, feeling that these natives were really shameless.
Zhu Gaoxian didn't take it seriously, when Jing Qing reported to him, he talked about his worries, Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "It's been a long time, and it will slowly become more and more, so make preparations in advance."
Jing Qing already knew that the natives had failed to plant, and he also had to prepare for the future development of this land, and asked, "Your Highness, what is suitable for planting here?"
After he asked this sentence, he realized that His Highness had just come here, and he was so familiar with where this place was, and he regretted asking this question rashly.
"It's suitable for farming, and the crops are wheat, barley, cotton, etc., but it's really not suitable for growing rice."
Jing Qingxin said that His Royal Highness had also exchanged with the natives before, and wanted to teach them to grow rice.
"Let them cultivate more fields, so that they may grow barley and wheat here. It's the right season."
This is a natural thing, and it is impossible to send supplies from the Ming side all the time.
Zhu Gaoxian nodded, he counted the days, if he was busy here, he should go back to Daming.
If he hadn't met those white people, he might have thrown away the matter here, leaving the four major families and the Ministry of Industry busy, and he would have gone home a long time ago.
But now, they have to take root here, so he can go back with confidence.
Jiang Boling and the others waited at the door of the central building, and when they saw Jing Qing coming out, they hurriedly greeted him, and Jiang Boling took the lead and asked, "Lord Jing, what did Your Highness say?"
Jing Qing walked out, and said what he asked His Highness for advice, and said, "Barley, wheat and cotton can be grown, but they are not suitable for growing rice, and they are suitable for breeding, Your Highness means that you can raise cattle and sheep here, but the main thing, I still mean to grow barley and wheat!"
Zhu Jingzhang touched the beard under his chin, nodded and said, "The most important thing at the moment is to reclaim the fields first and sow the seeds, no matter how much they can grow, it is much cheaper than going back to Daming to transport grain."
So many mouths waiting to eat.
On the side of Chief Kim, there were more than thirty people in the tribe, which was a very small number compared to more than fifteen hundred, but more than thirty young people were of great significance.
Moreover, after these thirty young people worked in the mines of Daming, they could eat very delicious food every day, and they wore five-point pants with comfortable fabrics, which also brought them a great sense of superiority.
As a result, many young people in the tribe were tempted.
Several patriarchs who could speak well in the tribe came to the chieftain together, and they were very dissatisfied with the chieftain for allowing their people to become Da Ming.
One of them said, "If this goes on like this, there will be fewer and fewer people in the tribe in the future."
The chief pondered for a moment, "I have also thought of this, but you should also see that the Ming people and those white people before us are more intelligent than us, and there will be many people in the future, if we don't find a tribe that can be united in advance, we may still be bullied by those who are like Caucasian people in the future, they are very cruel and will not give us a way to live."
Just then, Alexis came in, bowed and said, "Chief, the Ming people ask to see you!"
Dealing with the Ming people a lot, Alexis seems to have become much more comfortable to look at.
This is what several patriarchs thought of Alexis.
The chief hurriedly said, "Please!"
Saying that, he wanted to get up and go to greet him in person, which made the patriarchs very unhappy.
Fortunately, Ha San came in and said busily, "Chief, please don't get up, otherwise, my Ming people will be very upset."
Seeing this, the patriarchs felt much better, although they were not as smart as the Ming people, but the Ming people did not ignore them and gave them enough respect.
The Ming people have a broad mind, which makes them also admire it very much.
It was Ji Song who came, he first greeted the chiefs and patriarchs, endured his nausea, sat on the ground like a real Bangjialun clan without revealing his face at all, and said, "Chief, I came here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to ask if you still need the piece of land that you were going to use to grow rice before?"
The chief and the others were stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you need it?"
Ji Song nodded, "That piece of land, you have worked a lot to remove all the weeds on it, if you don't use it, then the previous work will be in vain." If you still plan to use it, chief, then I will ask in vain, if not, we are willing to exchange some shoddy porcelain with you for that piece of land."
Ji Song deliberately said that the porcelain was poor, in fact, he mainly wanted to emphasize that these porcelains were much worse than the porcelain brought by Daming himself.
The chief drank tea a few times at the prince of the Ming Dynasty and saw the porcelain, and he understood the meaning of the word "shoddy" translated by Ha San and Alexis, but fortunately he did not feel that the Ming people did not give him fine porcelain because they looked down on them.
Two days ago, the chief of the tribe next door came, also to talk about the youth of their tribe becoming a Ming person, he specially scooped the tea bowl given by the prince of the Ming Dynasty to the other party to drink, and the other party played with the bowl for a long time and showed a very desired will, but he pretended not to see it.
If the Ming people can give them a lot of porcelain, even if it is very poor porcelain, it doesn't matter, they can still take these porcelains to exchange a lot of materials with the tribe next door.
In this way, they became the strongest of the nearby tribes.
You know, these natives not only have to face the increasing external threats from the outside, but also face many internal problems.
Not every tribal leader is willing to live in peace and tranquility, and many leaders in the prime of life want to strengthen their tribe, seize more conducive land for survival, and ensure that the resources owned by the tribe can ensure that they can thrive.
The plot of land they intended to plant was nothing more than the removal of the plants from the surface, weeds, vines, and dwarf jungles, and besides, the roots might still be in the ground, and before the rainy season had passed, they might regrow and compete with the seeds of the plants they had sown for nutrients and sunlight.
This is also the reason why Kim and his tribe are reluctant to take the path of planting anymore, and the perennial nomadic life has left them with no genes waiting for seeds to grow and fields to be domesticated.
"Daming is our eternal friend, and maybe we will become a family in the future. That piece of land is of little value to us, and if it can be exchanged for your porcelain, even if it is not so beautiful, we are willing." Naturally, Kim refused to let go of such an opportunity.
Ji Song's heart moved, and he already had a thought, his face was impassive, and he said, "Thank you so much for your generosity!"
Ji Song quickly asked people to pick two loads of porcelain that they fired in the kiln here, which did not have exquisite textures and were not very pure in color, but it did not prevent these natives who wrapped their food in leaves from loving porcelain.
The abundance of porcelain made them very happy.
Before the Ming people who delivered the porcelain left, they carefully wrapped the porcelain in leaves, intending to find a way to exchange things that would be useful to them with other tribes, such as food and weapons.
After the Ming people got this land, they quickly erected a fence around the land, and then began to reclaim the land with a tractor, and a piece of land with an area of about 100 acres was completed in less than two days.
After that, the land was exposed to the sun, and in about a week, the rhizomes of the plants that had been turned over the surface withered.
The Ming people hired some women and children again to help collect the roots and stems of the plants, and then covered the surface of the land with dried plant vines and weeds that had been cleared by the aborigines, and lit a fire.
On a windless day, the land became more fertile after being burned by fire.
The Ming people used a tractor again, and installed a rake behind it, and began to turn over the land, and the large pieces of sun-dried soil were crushed, and the grass and wood ash were mixed in it, and the soil clods showed a nutritious black.
There is a regular gathering between tribes, scheduled on the first day after each full moon.
A day earlier, Kim went to the bazaar, accompanied by a few young men and patriarchs, with porcelain and some strange things they had recently collected.
The market is located on a plain north of a nearby hill with a river nearby, and is a long-standing centre of tribal congregation in northern Australia.
When passing by that piece of land, Kim and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the land that had been leveled by the Ming people in a few days.
Around the fields, deep ravines were dug and poured with cement, and the nearby river was channeled into the ravines and flowed slowly around the fields, and the clear water seemed to nourish the land in a visible way.
Around the field, several scattered acacia trees have all been removed, and a path has been leveled to connect the town of Daming and the field.
The fields are as far as the eye can see, but the inside is leveled into ridges.
How can they be so fast?
When passing by the field, Kim and the others' feet stepped on the concrete floor at the edge of the ravine, and the feeling of being warmed by the sun passed through the soles of their feet, directly transmitted to the whole body, ironing every cell and nerve, which was very comfortable.
