133 Luzon
This year is particularly important for Li You. Many things will take shape within this year. Liuqiu needs to open up the north. The exiles in Huanzhou need to immigrate to Luzon. The opening of Luzon routes also needs to be done immediately.
As always, Li You bid farewell to his mother and Yingying at the pier, and then set off on the road to the south. There are a lot of goods to be transported to Liuqiu this time, but Li You does not need to worry about it. What he has to do is to drive the boat to Luzon. As long as he travels all the way south from Nanwan, his fast boat can arrive in one day. Luzon, the next day you can follow the west coast of Luzon to the west bend.
The northern part of Luzon Island is full of dense high mountains and forests. Although it is very close to the southern end of Liuqiu, it is not suitable for development. Therefore, only along the west coast to the central area, here is the flat terrain.
At the bay, Li You chose a place to stop the boat, and asked the accompanying people to take the timber they were carrying and go ashore to build a trestle bridge. It is already afternoon, and it is estimated that when the trestle bridge is built, it will not be far from dark.
This time it was Sanzi and his ten subordinates who came with the ship. They have sorted out all Liuqiu. Now Sanzi has returned to Nanwan to be stationed, and the northern part is handed over to Chen Wei and Ono Maro. In control.
"Young Master, there is still such a large area to the south of Luzon Island. When can we go there?" Looking at a map of Southeast Asia drawn by Li You, the third son pointed to the later generation of Kalimantan and said.
"It’s already very good that we can come here. You'd better not think about it there. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. Don’t mention running south. As long as you can open up this place, I’m already very good. I am happy. This is a place I plan to develop vigorously, and in the future this will be where I wait for the real retreat."
The third son is now very accustomed to this kind of pioneering life. Upon hearing Li You's plan, he also asked: "Young Master, then Liuqiu Nanwan will be built here as well?"
"Not only that, it will be more prosperous in the future. You can just treat this as our private domain. I plan to build a big city here. I can start this matter when I come back from Huanzhou. "
At dusk, the ship leaned against the newly built trestle bridge. Li You got off the ship and looked at the scene in front of him. This is no different from when he first went to Zhuhai Park. It should be said that the dense forest here is more dense, which is just like later generations. There was a huge difference, and then he called Master and began to walk into the dense forest here.
Not far to the right is the mountain, they need to go up the mountain to check the terrain. Halfway up the mountain, Li You looked at the vast plains below in the afterglow of the setting sun, and saw the low vegetation and woodland about ten miles to the south. He knew that it was better to choose there in the early stage.
After returning to the boat, the sky was already dark, and everyone was ready to eat. To check the terrain, we can only talk about it tomorrow.
Early the next morning, everyone was ready to stop and set off. They walked all the way south along the coast and walked for almost an hour, and finally came to the low grass and woodland. What caught your eye was an unknown low bush, with tall abaca on the side. Seeing abaca, Li You smiled slightly. The stems of the abaca leaves are an important source of fiber. It can be used to make ropes and fishing nets. Because of its good resistance to seawater erosion, it is especially suitable for making submarine cables. It can be regarded as a very good economical plant. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest mobile terminal: https:/
Passing through the abaca forest, there is a large grassland in front, but the grass is half a person high, and it is really troublesome to move forward. The crowd continued to move forward. After half an hour of walking, they saw water buffalo, a large herd of water buffalo, there were no less than a hundred here, and Li You also saw a warthog, which was also a large herd.
"Young Master, this... what kind of pig is this? Why is it different from the wild boar we have seen, and this cow..."
"These are only available here. Don't be so fussy. Keep looking and see if you can find the river here." After speaking, Li You carried a long knife and moved on.
At noon, the group finally found a river that was not too wide. The river was less than twenty feet wide. There were many crocodiles in the river, but they were all smaller crocodiles.
Looking at the sun, it was almost noon, everyone rested under a tree, drank some water, and ate some dry food by the way. At this time, the third son saw a few deer-like animals running by the river to drink water, and he was a little surprised. He was sure that this was a deer, but his body was too small, not even two feet tall.
He pointed to the deer and said to Li You: "Young Master, why is this deer so small!"
"You, is it possible that a deer must look the same as other deer to be considered a deer. This is a mouse deer. They are small in size, but their meat is fresh and tender. You will know if you have a chance to play a few in the future."
The third son turned his head and looked at Li You. This is the first time everyone has come. If you know that the names of these animals are Li Youmeng’s guidance, this is fair, but when it comes to the taste of this venison, it’s not enough. It's kind of strange. Seeing the look of the third son, Li You also understood what he was thinking, but he didn't say much, but took another sip from the water bag.
"Young master, can I wait to catch two of them now, so that I can try them in the evening?" The other subordinate asked at this moment.
Li You smiled and said, "Hehe, go if you want, and remember not to hit the deer with the little guy."
Several people responded, took out their bows and arrows, and rushed into the grass, ready to hunt.
Not long after, a few people came back, not only carrying three mouse deer in their hands, but also two people even dragging a warthog back together. Li You said helplessly: "Are you going to drag it and move on?"
The few people also smiled embarrassedly. They didn't think so much just now, they just hit it off when they saw the prey. Afterwards, they also dismembered the warthog under Li You's order, and one person took some, and finally they could take it back.
They began to walk along the river to the sea, which was only five or six miles away from the sea, and they could go out soon. Back at the trestle, a few people started to burn a fire on the beach, intending to taste the prey they caught today.
At dusk, the meat was roasted, and there were sixteen people here, including the crew on the boat. They drank wine and ate the meat, without even noticing anyone staring at them.
As intruders, the indigenous people here naturally want to drive away. When they arrived, they took wooden sticks and stones and rushed towards Li You and others. They really shocked everyone. See The weapons in these people's hands were still wooden sticks, and Li You also ordered the knife to be taken away.
What the aboriginals didn't expect was that some of the stones they were still going out were caught by the opponent, and the opponent threw them at them with stones, and they threw them quite accurately. Those who leaned forward were all knocked to the ground by the opponent within a few breaths. (End of this chapter)
