Chapter 206 Preparing to Leave Farming!
Isn't it just burying seeds in the ground?
Such a simple thing, if Yu Wenhua Dragon can't do it, then he will really become an idiot, and he won't be able to do the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.
So after several years of experiments, Yu Wenhua Long finally succeeded in growing food in the Lilac tribe, and it is this credit that he is known as the Great Prophet.
And with the cultivation technology, the Lilac tribe never went hungry again, and if it weren't for the change of taste, they wouldn't even go hunting and fishing.
But this is only the Lilac tribe family can have such a good life, and other tribes have none.
For example, this tribe, which was named Cardamom by the Yu Culture Dragon, has more than 100 people who die in the mouths of beasts every year just because of hunting, which is really a great loss for a tribe with less than 3,000 people.
But there is no way, if they don't go out to hunt, they just rely on fishing, with their fishing skills, I'm afraid that more people will starve to death.
Besides, the sea is not completely safe, and there are also many fish in the sea that can eat people.
In addition to hunting and fishing, another means of survival for the natives is to collect wild fruits and grain, to say that there are still a lot of fruits in the jungle, after all, this is tropical, evergreen all year round, as long as you are diligent and lucky, you will basically not starve to death - after all, this is how the natives of Indochina once survived, and even cultivated a lazy spirit because of this, which is also the reason why Li Zhen is reluctant to have that group of lazy people.
However, it is a pity that the Papuans are much more backward than the Nanyangs, and no matter how lazy the Nanyangs are, they can at least grow food, even if the so-called cultivation is actually the kind that scatters the seeds on the ground and does not care.
It is precisely because of this planting method that even in the event of a major flood, they can survive with food.
But the Papuans are different, they don't know how to grow or don't know how to grow them, so that in the rainy season, when the fruit on the trees withers, they can only eat the dry food they have stored on weekdays, and then they go out to hunt more prey.
If they can understand the planting technology, they will never be so miserable.
After getting rid of the Cardamom Tribe, the next Nutmeg Tribe, the Pepper Tribe, the Bird of Paradise tribe and other tribes, under the temptation of Li Zhen's food and luxury, all the tribes knelt.
The best ornaments in the tribes are pearls fished out of the sea (the Maluku Islands are one of the world's pearl producing regions), or feathers plucked from birds, or beautiful pebbles picked up from the mountains.
Such a primitive life, not to mention the glass mirror representing the pinnacle of Datang's handicrafts, they have never even seen a copper piece.
No one can resist the temptation of a delicate mirror, let alone silk......
For Laishui, a primitive person who is still wearing animal skins, this is simply something that can only be used by heavenly immortals.
Under the temptation of food and luxury, Li Zhen quickly gathered 5,000 people, under the command of the accompanying designers and the hand-in-hand teaching of the guards, in just three days, these natives did a good job - in fact, there was nothing to teach, just let them help collect and transport materials, the real technical work still needs to be done close to the guards themselves, and it must wait until a period of time, after the natives have experience, they can gradually hand over the task to them.
As the days passed, the three large longitudinal-sea cargo ships were soon filled with goods collected from Lilac Island, among which the Ningyuan and Liaoyuan were loaded with all kinds of spices, such as cloves, nutmeg, pepper and cardamom......
There is everything, and the rest of the Anyuan is loaded with precious local products such as pearls, gems and furs, which are all purchased from nearby tribes.
Not to mention spices, let's just say that the local products on the last Anyuan, transported back to the Central Plains, are enough to be worth several ships.
Speaking of the Emperor, there was no cargo on it, because as the cargo ship was full, it could no longer be loaded with people, so Li Zhen had to let some people move to the Emperor, which was about 2,000 people, and the remaining 2,000 people were scattered on the five longitudinal-sea class battleships.
"Yuwen Shaoqing, it's time for us to go."
Li Zhen stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the Yuwen Dragon who was still cherishing the people with the clansmen, and greeted him loudly.
"Please wait a while, Your Highness, and then let the old man talk to them."
Yu Wenhualong's voice was reluctant, after all, he returned to the Central Plains this time, but he was afraid that he would never come back, he had lived on this lilac island for decades, and it was impossible to say that he had no feelings.
Li Zhen said with a smile: "Yuwen Shaoqing can take a few people back, while letting them take care of you, it also happens to let them see the prosperity of our Datang." ” "Is that okay?"
Yu Wenhua Long is a little moved, he is now a lonely old man, even if he goes back, it is estimated that he will not be able to find his family - the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty has caused the population of the entire Huaxia to lose three-quarters, plus his identity as Yuwen, I am afraid that his family will have died in the chaos long ago.
Although the Reyu Wen clan still has a descendant, Yu Wenhua Dragon is not a descendant of the Yuwen clan after all, and people don't recognize him or not.
Therefore, even if Yu Wenhua Dragon goes back, he is afraid that he is alone, if he can bring a few people back, not to mention anything else, with his prestige in the tribe, it will be no problem to give him a pension.
"Absolutely."
Li Zhen smiled: "There are only a few people on the left and right, although our ship is full, it will not be able to fit even a few people." ” "Thank you, Your Highness, you're welcome."
Yu Wenhua Long thanked him loudly, and then shouted a few words loudly with the people of the Lilac tribe in the local language, and soon hundreds of people rushed out, pointing at themselves with excited expressions.
It's a pity that Li Zhen limited the number of Yu Wenhua Dragons, otherwise he would really want to bring them all back.
After some selection, Yu Wenhualong finally selected three people, these three people are not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and their names are Mo Luo, Batu and Fence Luo.
"Yuwen Shaoqing, is this going to let them return to Lilac Island?"
Li Zhen almost immediately understood what Yu Wenhua Dragon meant, these three people are not very old, even if they are in another twenty years, they will only be in their thirties, and he is already in his seventies, so it is impossible for him to live for another twenty years.
In other words, as long as Yu Wenhua Dragon is dead, there is still a possibility that these three teenagers will come back.
Yu Wenhualong seemed to be in a good mood: "There is indeed a reason for this, but more importantly, the three of them are orphans, their parents have died in the mouths of beasts, there is no family, there is no care, alone, can follow the old decay without worry." ” "I see, it's still thoughtful Yuwen Shaoqing."
Li Zhen nodded again and again, Jiang was really old and spicy, and he didn't expect to go up at this point.
"Your Highness has won the prize."
