428. Cultural triumph
The land of America.
More than 1,000 people led by Liu Bolun, the former director of the Department of Maritime Affairs, have been on the continent for two years.
In the beginning, they came to explore the Americas for minerals and to establish good relations with the Mayan tribes.
However, with the beginning of construction in Australia, new orders were issued on the American side to start trading with local tribes.
The Department of Maritime Affairs has now been downgraded to the Bureau of Maritime Affairs, subordinate to the Department of Vehicles and Ships, and Liu Bolun has no opinion on the change of identity.
He originally came to make up for the slashing characters and treated Zhang Qi, these people have more loyalty than the people who are infused with spiritual points.
Moreover, being appointed as the governor of the Americas is no worse than the position of the head of the first department.
Coastline.
For overseas territories, the convenience of shipping is naturally the first condition.
Therefore, the location of the base in the Americas is on the coast of a natural deep-water port.
The style is similar to that of Liaodi Port, with a flat and wide square that is convenient for all kinds of transportation equipment.
Beyond the coast, in the northwest corner of the harbor is a dock fort, which serves as a defensive structure and office space.
Thanks to the good relationship established with the Mayans, and as the son-in-law of the Mayans, Liu Bolun's prestige in the Americas is not small.
And two years is not a long time, but it is short, and it is not short.
Therefore, in the past two years, among the more than 1,000 people who followed Liu Bolun to the land of America, almost seven or eight hundred young men established marriage relations with the local Mayan nobles.
To put it simply, the Mayan aristocracy preferred to marry their own girls to these guys from overseas.
After all, as Liu Bolun's wife, the benefits that Swansea brought to his family were what they saw with their own eyes.
If there is one, there will be two, so by now, most of the more than 1,000 people who came with Liu Bolun have dragged their families.
Liu Bolun is naturally happy to hear about this and will not stop it, it is a good thing that the Mayans want to marry them, the land of America is so vast, and today's population is simply a drop in the ocean, not only for the Americans, even Shenzhou, can not send a population that can fully develop the Americas.
In this case, it is better to use the power of the local people to grab the resources of the Americas for Shenzhou as much as possible.
Outside the ports of the Americas.
Behind the coastline is fertile land, and today it is cultivated with neat farmland, and the farmers who come and go are all in the form of the people of the Americas.
These people are locals.
The Mayans are the largest ethnic group in the Americas, but the current population is only seven or eight hundred thousand, and most of them are active in the areas near Mexico in later generations.
In the Americas, the form of the region is still tribal, and the products here are abundant, even if they do not rely on agriculture to feed the many tribes on this land like stars just by hunting.
However, where there are people, there will always be fights, and this cannot be avoided and the struggles will bring casualties and losers.
In the past two years, Liu Polun and the others have rescued more than 1,000 people, all of whom were losers in the tribal conflict and were sacrificed as living sacrifices.
Liu Bolun rescued them, and they were attached to Liu Polun's banner.
Over time, people on the land of America also knew a place to take refuge.
Some tribes that were squeezed to the point that they could not survive gradually moved closer to this side and clinged to it.
As a result, they found that when they arrived, their lives suddenly stabilized, they no longer had to follow in the footsteps of the herd, and they could get enough food every day.
The price is simply learning a new language and obeying the arrangement of some not-so-demanding manual labor.
So small tribes converged into rivers, and in two years, relying on the labor provided by the Mayans, the port of the Americas was built, and there were five or six thousand more indigenous people in the Americas.
Although they did not know the royal city, they lived under the royal banner.
——
"Governor, Madame is back."
The top floor of the harbor fort.
Liu Bolun, who was checking the distribution of ore sites and the distribution map of some unique resources, was woken up by a voice.
The person who came was Asuka Bird, the naval captain who had come to the Americas twice with him, and beside him was a lady covered in black robes, that is, Liu Polun's Mayan wife, Swansea.
"It's good to come back, you've worked hard all the way, let's go rest first."
"No."
Asuka saluted, and stepped back.
"Honey, I miss you so much."
As soon as the bird left, Swansea threw himself into Liu Bolun's arms.
She spent most of the past two years in the holy city of the Mayans, and the two met each other in a no-brainer.
"Well, I miss you too."
Liu responded that although Swansea had lived with him in Liaodi for several years, this did not change Swansea's original enthusiastic personality in the slightest.
As her husband, Liu Bolun was more or less infected by this enthusiasm.
"It's been hard work in the past two years, how is the Holy City doing?"
"Everything is going well, my dear, through the strength of the family, the upper and lower Mayan nobles have now been opened, the school is running smoothly, and the Confucian etiquette is very marketable here."
"Although the cumbersome etiquette is difficult to understand, the sense of beauty does make the nobles support, and with the assistance of etiquette, the language is taught smoothly, and more than half of the children of the nobles have learned to speak."
"For students in ordinary schools, Qiyan's learning level has reached 90 percent, except for a few people who really don't have any talent for language, others have mastered common sentence patterns."
"It's just that the resources used in ordinary schools in the past two years are too great, and the glass products and fragrance products brought from Shenzhou are now used."
Swansea tells the story of what has been achieved in the past two years.
Stroking his slender waist, Liu Bolun nodded.
"Let the father give a little bit of resources in advance, and there will naturally be a price to pay for the continuation of education, otherwise why should the parents of those children release the labor force in the family?"
"It's okay, I haven't been back for two years, let's go back this time and discuss with you the follow-up policy towards the Americas."
"The words have begun to spread here, and the etiquette from Confucianism has also been accepted by many people, I think we have already started the bloodless battle that the king said, so the next thing to do is to increase the sense of recognition and yearning."
Liu Bolun tapped his temple.
"It's a lot more tiring than fighting."
"Can I go back?"
Swansea's eyes lit up, and although Maya was the place where she was born, Shenzhou was the place she loved more.
It was also her home, where her children were born.
