"General, it's ready, ready to go to the island at any time." A soldier came up behind Han Shin and reported.

After Han Xin nodded, he waved his big hand and said, "Go to the island." ”

With Han Xin's order, the soldiers put down the boat and landed, the first thing after landing was to be vigilant, and then Han Xin organized people to communicate with the natives on the island, although the language barrier is a trouble, but the basic communication through body language can still be carried out, and the most important thing is that the things brought by the Qin army deeply attracted these natives.

Under the attack of materials, Han Shin's army soon formed a deep friendship with the natives here.

At the same time, Han Xin found that the patriarch here was not a barbarian who didn't understand anything, he could also speak the words of the Central Plains, which should have been taught by the Central Plains people who had come to this island before, and these natives were the patriarchs of the horses, and the patriarchs were the wise men of their tribes, basically as long as the patriarch was solved, then all the problems of the island would be solved.

Therefore, Han Xin's main purpose this time is to subdue this patriarch, through communication, Han Xin learned that there are abundant fish here, basically these natives can get rich fish every time they go to sea, and the patriarch also took Han Xin to see their fish storage, Han Xin saw that the natives here are really smart.

Here, the peak fishing season is in winter and summer, and there are very few in spring and autumn, so people here have developed the habit of stockpiling fish, that is, raising fish harvested in summer and winter, and using them as reserve grain when the harvest is less.

It's summer, Han Xin is fortunate to go out fishing with them, today is the time for Han Xin to go to sea as agreed with the patriarch, Han Xin deliberately drove a smaller warship with them, wanting to see how they fished.

The patriarch came to Han Xin's warship and couldn't stop praising it: "Is this the warship of the gods?" This is also amazing, I don't even see the sails, can this ship sail without sails? How did you sail? ”

Han Xin smiled: "I don't know this very well, it was our scientist who made it, well, it will also be your scientist in the future, after all, you have also become a member of Great Qin." ”

The patriarch frowned and said, "How did we become the people of Great Qin?" General, what do you mean by that? ”

Han Xin smiled and said, "Literally, patriarch, you should understand." ”

The patriarch was silent, looking at the well-trained Qin army around him and the huge warships he had never seen before, the patriarch gave in.

I saw that the patriarch suddenly smiled and said: "Hahaha, this is a good thing, it is the honor of our clan to be able to throw into the arms of Great Qin, and please accept it from the general." ”

Han Xin immediately smiled when he saw him like this: "Hehe, this is natural, everything is for Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's will, cities will be established on various islands in Daqin, since there is a city, there must be a city lord, I will recommend it to Your Majesty, and you will be the city lord of the city, and you will be the city lord." ”

When the patriarch heard this, his eyes lit up and he said urgently: "General, you mean... You're saying, to... You want me to be the lord of this city? The patriarch's breath was a little short.

The patriarch thought that after returning to Great Qin, he would lose his current status, but for the sake of the clan, he could only do so, but he didn't expect Han Xin to say that he would make him the lord of the city, which shows that not only will he not lose his current rights, but he will go further, which does not allow the patriarch not to be nervous.

Han Xin smiled slightly and said: "This is natural, as long as you do things for Your Majesty loyally, Your Majesty will never be stingy with this reward, and I can also tell you that after becoming the city lord, you are a legal citizen of Great Qin, and you will enjoy all the benefits of Great Qin, and you will also have the opportunity to have your own apartment in the capital of Great Qin, which is the benefit of every courtier, matching according to the size of the official rank." ”

The patriarch was confused and said, "Apartment? What is that? ”

Seeing him like this, Han Xin could only explain: "A house, the house you live in, is not the thatched house you live in now, but a super luxurious apartment made of reinforced concrete, you will know it in the future, okay, let's go to sea to fish first." ”

On the rest of the journey, the patriarch tried his best to explain to Han Xin some basic knowledge of fishing at sea and what to pay attention to.

Han Xin just listened casually, mainly those scientific research students were taking notes seriously, recording what the patriarch said, and at the same time remarking some of his own opinions, which would be used for experiments in the future, the patriarch's fishing skills were mainly to use sound waves to attract fish, only to see a group of people using the shells picked up on the beach to link them with rattan and tie them to a wooden stick, as soon as the wooden stick shook, the shells directly produced a sound, which can attract a large number of yellow fish, and the next thing is Amnesty's fishing action, The fishing nets made by the patriarch are particularly flawed.

Han Xin asked curiously, "Patriarch, your nets are leaking so big, don't many fish run away?" ”

The patriarch replied: "This is the fishing tradition of our people, our ancestors said that if you fish with a net that is too small, then the god of the sea will curse us, so we have been fishing with this big net, and as for those fish that escape, they are blessed by the god of the sea and cannot be killed." ”

Han Xin was slightly stunned, and wondered: "Is there really such a god as the sea god?" ”

The patriarch said solemnly: "General, please be careful, our ancestors will not deceive us, and there are records in the clan, many years ago, I thought that we were greedy and used small fishing nets, and that time we caught a lot of fish, but the result angered the sea god, and we can't catch many fish after the New Year, it is really a huge disaster, it is recorded, that year all rely on reserve grain for the New Year, and many people starved to death." ”

Han Xin was slightly stunned, although what the patriarch said should not be false, but Han Xin still didn't want to believe in this so-called sea god, if there really was a sea god, then this sea god should be the first to punish him, because he changed everything in this sea area.

Han Xin doesn't understand, will those researchers still not understand? Han Xin asked the marine biologist next to him, "Is this so-called sea god reliable?" ”

The scientist laughed: "What are the sea gods, these people because of ignorance so they pin the disaster on the ethereal gods, in my opinion, it should be that they used small nets to catch too many of these fish, resulting in a large reduction of this kind of fish, so after the Chinese New Year, we can't catch fish, after all, we must return the nature of nature, blindly demanding, resources will be exhausted, forcing the rules of nature, but they use this big net to catch and let go of the smaller ones, After next year, these little ones will grow up and become targets they can hunt. ”

After the scientist's explanation, Han Xin suddenly said: "So that's the case, so there is no sea god at all, but they have broken the rules of nature, right?" ”

The scientist nodded, "That's right. ”

Han Xin thought of something and said, "Then I arranged for the amnesty of the people to mine the ore, did it also break the rules of nature?" ”

The scientist was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Han Xin to think of this question, and suddenly said helplessly: "Hey! You're right, we have granted amnesty to mine underground ores, to some extent we have indeed broken the rules of nature, but everything has its two sides, we are also for the development of human beings, from the current point of view, we can only get the coal, iron, copper, aluminum, zinc, magnesium and other metals we need from the mines, maybe we will solve this problem in the future, but it is difficult to do it at present. ”

Han Shin replied: "Then will we be punished by nature?" ”

The scientist replied: "To some extent, it will, but we can also make some other supplements, and as long as there is a degree of mining, such a thing will not come, after all, the minerals in the ground are worthless if they are not used, are they?" ”

Han Xin thought for a while and nodded: "What you said makes sense, so what kind of degree is the limit, there must be a degree." ”

The scientist smiled: "Hehe, General, I'm glad you can think like this, but what you said, we have done surveys, and we have also made data, at present, it is not a dangerous time, after all, this world is very big, and now only our Daqin is mining, and other countries can't do us like this, so General, your worries are superfluous, if it is really dangerous, we will stop." ”

Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, as long as it doesn't cause any big disasters." ”

The scientist smiled helplessly: "Okay, my general, you are a general and not a scientific researcher, you can't worry about such a thing, you should care more about what to do next in order to bring the greatest benefits to Daqin and Your Majesty." ”

Speaking of this, Han Xin smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has already made a will, everything can be done in accordance with Your Majesty's will, a large amount of fish here can just fill the vacancy of the mainland but there are few fish, this is a good business opportunity, according to Your Majesty's will, just meet this kind of caravan handed over to Gongzi to solve, I just need to pull a line, and the rest will be solved by those merchants." ”

The scientist didn't know much about this, so he said: "Then it's bothering the general, I still have to investigate this sea area, so I won't stay longer." ”

After sending off the scientists, Han Xin chatted with the patriarch a lot, and after the fishing was over, Han Xin sent the patriarch to rest again, and Han Xin came to the deck alone to watch the arriving people busy collecting fish.

Just as he was watching with relish, a voice sounded: "This is the purpose of your coming to this island, why don't you mine this time?" Changed to business, are you a businessman? I really can't see through you at all. ”

Hearing this voice, Han Xin turned his head happily and said, "You finally came out, I thought you wouldn't come out." ”
