The merchant ships of the brigade unloaded the supplies, but what they saw was a desolate and wild primeval forest, and the only place where they could do business here was probably the residential area in the port area, many merchants were a little disappointed, but Xiao Ming promised that they could buy all their goods, but the condition was that they hoped that they could continue to follow him to Mayi Island!

Mayi Island is the Philippines, the people before the Song Dynasty called this place Luzon, that was originally a small kingdom called Luzon, and later it was replaced by this kingdom called Mayi, so in the Song Dynasty, the nautical chart basically became: "Mayi Island".

Mayi is a place that must be occupied outside the second island chain planned by Xiao Ming, and from here it is a springboard, you can go to Bo Ni and Java, but this is all done after the Korean immigrants are completed first, and there is a good reason to deal with a big island like Mayi, thinking that it is the largest birthplace of pirates in the southeast!

At that time, in addition to the Philippine archipelago, Luzon in the north and Sulu in the south, there were often large-scale armed conflicts between these two small states and Mayi, and the Mayi country forced various princely states to migrate to Greater Luzon, and the king of Luzon could only occupy a small mountainous area near Apa Harbor.

The king of Sulu occupied the third largest island in Luzon, and the southernmost second largest island was occupied by Sriwijaya, and historically the Chinese called it Little Luzon, because of the production of sugar cane and gold, it was the main location of the largest sugar trade and gold trade, but due to the continuous war, many fishermen became pirates.

At present, Xiao Ming is mainly stalling on the issue of immigration on the island of Taiwan, because these things are too complicated! First of all, the division of settlements was a difficult problem, at that time Taiwan was still undeveloped, some mainland immigrants could only operate along the harbor coast, and the deeper mountainous areas were in a primitive state.

Especially in the southern mountains, there are many aborigines who kill farmers who reclaim wasteland, they think that outsiders have desecrated their sacred mountains, there are huge cultural differences here, the aborigines in the primitive tribes have basically only just learned to use fire, and there are frequent wars between tribes.

If you want to have a more suitable immigration environment, then Xiao Ming needs to carry out some chassis expansion operations in advance, which is not enough to rely on force alone! What is the exchange for the trust of the aborigines? Xiao Ming quickly thought of table salt, like most primitive tribes, any ethnic group is a history of blood and tears in obtaining salt.

But today is different, Xiao Ming asked people to bring a large amount of salt, and sent people to inform the various aboriginal tribes here that there was no bag of salt to come and collect it, and it didn't cost any price, which undoubtedly made those aborigines rush to the fox suspicious, and within the specified days, there were not many people who came to receive salt! This made Xiao Ming puzzled!

Later, someone reminded him that the aboriginal tribe pursued the principle of equal exchange, and it was impossible to scoop salt for nothing, so Xiao Ming suddenly realized, so he hereby issued a notice to let the people of each tribe scoop out the exchange items they are willing to scoop out in exchange for salt, Xiao Ming has no requirements for anything.

But the day after the notice, it was the day when he came to get the salt, and still no one came to change the salt, Xiao Ming couldn't help but be a little anxious, but he thought about it, everything has a first time, the aborigines are testing themselves to see if they are sincere, so they are all waiting and watching, so they put their minds at ease and continue to wait, but the tiger guards are a little uncontrollable!

But it was Zhao Fujin who lost her temper, she stood beside Xiao Ming and asked Xiao Ming why he was like this? Why bother to curry favor with some southern barbarians, can't you just divide the land directly? It made her so angry!

Xiao Ming laughed and said, "Have you heard the story of Shang Ying's change?" ”

Zhao Fujinhu said suspiciously: "Do you mean ......?" ”

"That's right!" Xiao Ming affirmed: "These aborigines have lived here for generations, and they have formed a whole with the whole area, at this time, you can't rashly separate them, and forcibly use force to command things to make things worse, but just like a group of monkeys, they are always wary of any group of outsiders!" This is necessary to dispel their guards. ”

Sure enough, at this time, Zhao Fujin said: "Look at it!" ”

The aborigines finally came, but they sent two children, a boy and a girl, which was nothing more than a temptation, and both children were dark and thin! But they were healthy, and they waited barefoot with big curious eyes to look at Xiao Ming and the others who were smiling at them.

The interpreter next to them asked them, "Did you come to exchange for salt?" ”

The two children nodded, and they scooped out a clump of pheasant feathers, and chose two long tails from them, and put them on the ground and put them in their mouths, and pointed to the ground and the salt bag, which meant: "I exchange two pheasant feathers for a bag of salt."

This exchange is too unspeakable, the tiger guard who is in charge of changing the salt turned his head to look at Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming said: "Give them a change, don't look at me!" ”

So Huwei packed a small bag of salt and handed it to the two children, who opened the bag and looked at it, it was crystal white, "Is it salt?" So good-looking! So he grabbed a little and tasted it, and then a smile spread from the faces of the two children, "It's really salt!" It's still so white! The two children were overjoyed, bowed to everyone and turned to leave.

"Slow!" Xiao Ming shouted, stopped the two children, walked over with a smile in their suspicious eyes, handed them another bag of salt, and then said to the interpreter: "Tell them that it should be two bags of salt, because they gave me two pheasant feathers, and I can't take advantage of them!" ”

The interpreter translated Xiao Ming's words, and the two children were amazed! To tell the truth, they were sent to test this group of outsiders, and they didn't have much confidence in whether they could scoop up table salt, although pheasant feathers were not a very cheap thing, but the possibility of being able to exchange them for salt was not very high, but the outsiders not only changed them, but also changed two bags!

This is how the goodwill is built, Xiao Ming's sentence "I can't take advantage!" In exchange for the favor of all the aborigines, the girl among the two children smiled at Xiao Ming, said a few words, and then jumped away with the boy!

Xiao Ming asked the interpreter: "What did she say?" ”

"He said you're a good guy!"

…… The two bags of salt scooped back by the two children were like a cannonball in the middle of the aborigines, and they no longer had any doubts, so the aborigines walked out of the woods, down the cottages, out of the tribes, and went to the stronghold where the outsiders exchanged salt.

Compared with touching words, snow-white salt can conquer these natives who have not eaten salt all year round, and the items they left behind are also strange, including flowers, wild fruits, stones, shells, animal skins, bird feathers, and even homespun cloth themselves, and some people are embarrassed to leave behind the prey they have hit.

No matter what was left, the tiger guards took it all, and then gave them an extra handful of salt, which made the aborigines very grateful to them! He even took off his silver jewelry to give it to Tiger Guard, but Tiger Guard complied with Xiao Ming's strict requirements and did not accept any personal gifts!

If you are willing to exchange, just leave something, if it is given to a person, you must return it to others, which makes the aborigines feel very good about this group of outsiders, after a few contacts, the largest tribal leader among the aborigines, Ba Jialang, came to see Xiao Ming in person, and gave Xiao Ming their own fruit wine according to etiquette!

This was the best moment to explain to them the need for land, so Xiao Ming set up a banquet to entertain Ba Jialang, but the wine used was not the fruit wine they offered, but the soju that Xiao Ming specially brought! Sure enough, Ba Jia Lang has a soft spot for this kind of soju, and although he is sweating profusely from the spicy level, he is very happy!

After Xiao Ming drank with him and drank each other's three bowls, Ba Jialang was already drunk! But Xiao Mingque is the same as nothing, which makes Ba Jialang give a straight thumbs up in admiration, Ba Jialang has been drinking wine here with Xiao Ming for three days, every time he is drunk and unconscious, and Xiao Ming also gave him two jars of wine when he left!

So the land in the plains and slopes was easily scooped up by Xiao Ming, and these lands were simply fenced off, and the rest of the Goryeo immigrants themselves had to be left to release wild beasts, but at least Xiao Ming needed to give them the necessary production tools and materials to build houses.

A large number of Goryeo immigrants disembarked from the large merchant ships at the wharf, and many of them could not help but cry in the face of a strange land, but many were still full of longing, because they were told that as long as they were willing to put down roots and work hard, life would be very good, because they were guaranteed on the ship, and each family could get at least 20 acres of good land.

For those untouchables who have worked other people's land all their lives, it is unattainable to own five acres of their own land, and now it is indeed a great temptation to have twenty acres of their own land, not only that, but the Song people even gave them very good quality farm tools and seeds!

This made most people still happy to set foot on Taerugu Island, but because the number of Goryeo immigrants was so large, there was a lot of work to be done in terms of specific assignments, and it was impossible to do all of them as well as they wanted, and a sense of dissatisfaction and the feeling that they would never return to their homeland for the rest of their lives spread among the Goryeo people.

Xiao Ming is not only responsible for the food and clothing of this large number of immigrants, but also takes care of their sleep, which requires a lot of money, and there are so many things that Xiao Ming has no time to sleep, and when he hears the dissatisfaction among the immigrants, he has to run to solve it personally, Zhao Fujin really feels sorry for him!

So Zhao Fujin told him to help Xiao Ming! Once her identity was revealed, it immediately formed a huge sensation among the Goryeo crowd, "What! His Royal Highness the Lord of Fumao of the Great Song Kingdom is also here? ”

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Kingdom is really concerned about us, and he even sent his sister, His Royal Highness the Lord of Fumao County, to personally come to solve our life problems! This is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes! ”

Dressed in the expensive costumes of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Fujin constantly visited various immigration sites to offer condolences and inspections, sent rations and farm tools to some families in need, and promised to build medical centers and schools for them in the future, and to ensure that the rice they grew would not be taxed within two years.

Xiao Ming saw that she was really very similar, and his work was much easier, so he was very pleased, he felt that it was better to let Zhao Fujin be a governor here, specializing in immigration!

Zhao Fujin didn't know Xiao Ming's crooked intestines, she was busy every day, and felt that life was incomparably full and satisfying, with Xiao Ming at night, let him rub his shoulders and pinch his feet, happy every day is smiling, when Xiao Ming said to her in a joking tone to let her be the governor of Liu, she actually agreed!

Xiao Ming felt that even if he made the county lord of Fumao the governor, it seemed that he needed to be appointed by the Great Song Dynasty, whether he could give this order, if he let the people above the court know, the impeachment of his evil intentions was certain, so he was just a joke.

But Zhao Fujin doesn't think so, he has been with Xiao Ming for a long time, and he agrees with the view that women can also be officials and do business, who said that he can't be the governor of one side? He decided to write a letter to his imperial brother Zhao Gou......!
