Chapter 122: Assimilation Work
If he can become his son-in-law, he can borrow his ideas to help him govern the country, which is why he wants to marry his daughter to him, of course, he also wants his daughter to be happy, he has been inspecting for so long, and he feels that the character of Pengyu is also good, so he brought his daughter over with confidence, even if he wants to win over Pengyu, he will not catch his daughter's happiness.
Faang has governed the country for so long to understand, sometimes no matter how hard you work, it is not as talented, and the current posture seems that the king will soon become his son-in-law, and he can often be caught as a labor force in the future, and all his ideas can be poured out for his own use, and maybe in the future, heirs with their family bloodline can also be born, and then the Cham will also be in power to a large extent from the bloodline of his Lao dynasty.
The next day, Fa'on continued to discuss the issue of cooperation between the two sides, and he was naturally not satisfied with economic cooperation, he hoped to reach an agreement with Cham in many aspects, such as military and other aspects, and Cham had only one ally from the time he came to power, that is, Majapahit. Now that Majapahit has lost Malacca, the country's prestige has declined a lot, and at the same time, years of war have led to rebellion within him, and many of his vassals have shown dissatisfaction, because of the help of Majapahit, their domestic supplies have been taken away by Majapahit, and the island of Java, the island of Jajapahit, has not been affected in any way. They will naturally have discontent.
Ha Xiang Wulu lost the important trade node of Malacca, which made the domestic trade situation chaotic, many merchants are going to other countries to trade, most of the domestic merchants are Sunda as a new trade node, of course, that may be because the Sundean people are relatively rich, and a small part of it flows into other trade centers, after all, there were many merchant ships and goods in Malacca, and now it is difficult to see those goods in Sunda trade, so they naturally have to choose the best trade with a small quantity, so that they can also raise the priceto make a windfall.
The battle of the Majapahit army was greatly damaged, and the domestic situation was not optimistic, so Ha Xiang Wulu also officially let the country enter a period of recovery, the first thing to restore is the national production and trade, and after the domestic manpower is restored, the national army can also be re-formed, yes, Ha Xiang Wulu decided to disarm, the original 500,000 people went out, and only 300,000 people came back intact in the end, and in order to pay the pension of these 200,000 people, they have basically taken out the last funds of their treasury, Now it is very difficult to afford the military expenses of these 300,000 people with their income.
Moreover, now that production is resuming, the country is short of people, and allowing these people to work in other industries can also restore the country's economy to a large extent, so the army of Majapahit has been reduced from 300,000 to 50,000. Agriculture, fishing, and handicrafts are resuming production in an orderly manner.
Sita Settlement
The warehouse of the settlement has been expanded several times, in order to store more copper ore, under the leadership of Hou Zongsheng, the smelting of copper also began in the north of the settlement, the raw materials needed for smelting copper are charcoal and copper ore, now they have raw materials, natural smelting is not a problem, in fact, if you can find coal mines, smelting will become simpler, at least less wood into charcoal, burning charcoal is not an easy task, not to mention the blessing of modern technology, It takes at least a week to burn usable charcoal, which of course is the time it takes to produce the charcoal needed for a furnace of copper.
In fact, the number of people in the Siduo settlement is not much, so the copper output is not high, about five catties a day, of course, this does not require the whole people to smelt copper, after all, although copper smelting has no technical content, but it still needs to be systematically studied before it can be posted, otherwise if the copper smelting is scrapped, it is not a waste of resources? At present, the output of copper ore is about 500 kilograms a day, many people in the water tribe are very loyal to mining, after all, mining is very tired, but they can eat enough, they sometimes go out for three days, they may not be able to catch any prey, and finally return to the tribe with nothing, compared to hunting, mining and eating is much better than it, at least these natives are very satisfied.
Hou Zongsheng also didn't want to oversqueeze these laborers, mining just to eat was a bit inhumane, so Hou Zongsheng also gave them a daily salary, their salary is a currency, each person has fifty coins a day, and there is also a silver and a half income a month, those natives naturally don't know the role of money, and they heard that they can be exchanged for food, so they happily accepted it.
The trade volume of the three places has also continued to expand, from the original grain-fur trade has also expanded into multi-line trade, the exchanges between the two sides have also increased, many businessmen have formed an engineering team to go to the umbrella tree tribe to take orders to build houses, and now the umbrella tree tribe has a civilized appearance, but their essence is still indigenous, so Hou Zongsheng set up a school in the umbrella tree tribe for the aborigines to popularize education, of course, the premise is that the aborigines must learn the Cham language, after all, these teachers are Cham people, Except for my own expertise, I basically did not learn any other languages. Of course, there are a few who have mastered foreign language skills, and most of them have mastered Chinese.
Fortunately, most of the people of the Umbrella Tree tribe have learned the Cham language, so there is no difficulty in teaching, and even the chiefs, great elders, shamans and other people with very high status in the tribe come to learn, so many people responded to the call and studied seriously. In this way, the assimilation of the Umbrella Tree Tribe officially began.
On the other side, the assimilation of the water tribe is much more difficult, first of all, the tribe is overpopulated, and the popularity of the Zhan language is much slower than that of the water tribe, and the second is that the tribal chief strictly restricts the number of people from entering the tribe, and it is naturally more difficult to popularize it in the water tribe, so Hou Zongsheng took a step back and set up a classroom in the mine, saying that the spare time of mining can be studied and learned, and the natives are also happy to do this, and they can learn knowledge without using physical strength, and they can take care of the food, which is also great, I hope this learning time can be extended a little longer.
In order to study the yield and better quality of spices, the University of Panduranga even set up a branch in Porenogo to specialize in various improvements to agricultural products.
The branch is located at the intersection of the two places, and since the institute is largely located in Porenogo, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Porenogo government, with financial support from the province of Priango and the city of Porenogo, and educational resources from the University of Pandulanga.
