Chapter 135: Everywhere
After inspecting the Lakshmi copper mine, Nguyen Van Zhao is also going back to China, Sita's port is small, and the number of repairers is not large, so it takes a lot of repair time here, and when Nguyen Van Zhao returns to Sita, everyone has already loaded the goods, in fact, it has been loaded a few days ago, but they have to wait for Nguyen Van Zhao, the captain, to return to Sita, and then set sail after Nguyen Van Zhao's order is announced.
This is also the penultimate time that Nguyen Van Zhao has personally led a team to Sita, and he has already told him that when someone is familiar with the route, he will be sent to other tasks. Nguyen Van Zhao has no opinion, for him, the sea is his destination, as long as he sails on the sea. The task given to him was to continue to explore this new continent, and when he was done with the team, he would set off from Sita to the southerly end of the continent to explore the entire land.
After sending off the fleet, Hou Zongsheng's next step was to go to the Water Tribe to look for tea trees, according to them, there were many such trees to the east of the Water Tribe, and he was going to bring some trees back to Sita from there to plant, so as to increase Sita's income. After all, the tea tree alone can bring the expansion of the planting industry to Sita, presumably after promotion, Sita must be planted with tea trees nearby, and secondly, it can also provide development for the local blank medicine, and now Sita's medicine is obtained from the materials of the immigration team, after all, the difference between the local vegetation and the Cham vegetation is too big, they don't know the local vegetation at all, and they also rely on the Iron Tree tribe to learn about some plants.
So Sita and his party went to the Water Tribe, hoping to transplant the tree back to the vicinity of Sita. Of course, everyone did not stay in the tribe for long, their purpose was to bring the tea tree back, that's all, there was no need to do unnecessary actions, even if everyone went to the tribe to accept hospitality, they couldn't accept the tribe's way of doing things, after all, many people retain bad habits, these habits are uncivilized in the eyes of everyone, at least not recognized by them.
"What are they doing, good ink." They followed the tribe to the outside of the tribe, but the tribe's natives stopped when they came to the river, and then they bowed down to the river, and at last they were babbling something that sounded like a mantra.
"Shhhh
"Oh." The crowd replied softly, and then fell silent.
"Please bless us, Lord River God." When the natives had said this, they bowed down, and then got up and prepared to take them to the grove to the east.
So they followed the natives along the river to the east, and soon they came across a forest.
"Those are the tea trees we are looking for." The lead guide pointed to the wooded road in the distance.
"Huh? Where, where? The crowd looked in the direction of his finger.
"It's that big piece, it's all tea trees." They said.
"What? I cut it yesterday and used it to make a fire for cooking. One person exclaimed.
"My house is still made of this kind of wood, and I thought that this tree was thick and tall, and it was a good material for building a house, and I cut down a lot of it, and I will tell you the truth, my house is full of this kind of wood."
"Hey, that's a coincidence, so is my family."
"I'm the same."
"This kind of tree is the tree we are looking for, then we didn't come in vain, there are many trees over there, what kind of trees are transplanted." Everyone said.
"I said at the beginning, there are such trees everywhere, and there are many of them, hey, you still don't believe it." That's what one of the natives leading the group said, yes, he was the same guy who had been stopped in Lakshmi earlier.
Seeing that the purpose was accomplished, everyone was in no hurry, and just as the officials were talking to the tribe leaders about other issues such as expanding trade, they wandered around the tribe, and the local natives introduced them as guides.
At this time, the issue of trade was being discussed between the indigenous and occupying sides.
The two sides reached a consensus to expand trade, Sita will provide more goods to the water tribes, such as clothing, these tribesmen are naked all day long, so they are easily injured, this is one of the reasons why they want to import clothes, and another reason is how unsightly it is to be naked all day, how beautiful it is to wear such colorful clothes. In addition to importing clothing, there are also imports of various daily necessities, salt, sugar, etc., which these natives have never seen before the Cham people came.
In addition to expanding trade, the two sides also discussed the issue of opening up the tribes, allowing the people of Sita to move freely, and at the same time lifting the population restrictions within the tribes to Sita and Lakshmi. This provides a lot of convenience for the assimilation tasks below.
In addition to this, there is also the issue of the two sides discussing the entry of the divine envoy into the tribe, and the chief said: "Our tribe is very large, but our management is too weak, so we hope that the divine envoy will enter the tribe and manage the people of God." "The purpose of the chief's move is naturally for government reform, years of management, the chief naturally also saw the disadvantages of the current tribal management model, the management is too little, it is difficult to take care of it, how can a large tribe with nearly 10,000 people be managed by only more than 20 people.
The officials naturally accepted it very happily, and being able to join the tribe was also quite supportive of their follow-up work, presumably Hou Zongsheng would not object, so the two sides hit it off, and Sita appointed the position of sorcerer, and the position of sorcerer will always be held by Sidwa.
After the meeting, everyone returned to Sita together. Hou Zongsheng looked at the people who came back empty-handed, and he asked, "Why did you come back empty-handed, where are those trees?" ”
Everyone talked to Hou Zongsheng about their experience in the Water Tribe, and he reacted for a while before he understood, and he said, "You said that this kind of tree is everywhere, and it is the wood that we usually burn fires. I lost, I ruined the heavens, what a sin and a sin. ”
Then he said to the officials around him: "In the future, it is strictly forbidden to cut this amount, and if you want to use wood, you will cut down other trees, and this kind of tree cannot be cut down again anyway." ”
The officials were instructed to draw up a circular and carry out door-to-door propaganda, and it would not take long for the population to go from house to house, after all, the number of more than 6,000 people would be more than 1,000 households, and with the current number of officials, it would not take a few days to publicize this matter to every household.
