134 The Wedding in Nanwan City
The current situation was unexpected by the indigenous leaders. There were more than 60 people in their party, and now half of them fell to the ground, and the rest did not dare to move at all. At this time, Li You drew out a long knife and chopped it on a piece of wood. The wood was cut into two pieces at once.
Li You looked at the black-skinned indigenous people, who were only about 1.5 meters tall, smiled, and then put the knife away. This is the kindness of the release, and the native leader naturally understood that the opponent had such a powerful weapon in his hand and did not use it. Just knocking down all of his people with his fists and feet meant that he did not want to be an enemy of them.
The indigenous leader brought someone forward and said something, but no one understood it anyway, but Li You offered his sword and hands as a gift to the other party, and asked the third son to take a jar of wine to this Aboriginal leader.
This was a good beginning. The indigenous people helped the person who fell on the ground and did not take any further action. This also caused the third son and the others to put a little snack. The third son saw Li You gesturing with the leader, but couldn't understand what the two were doing anyway.
After a long time, Li You came over, and the indigenous leader also left with someone. The third son asked, "Young Master, what are you doing just now?"
"What else can you do, you haven't seen me gesticulating with him, anyway, they don't have much malice towards us now, you don't have to worry about them coming here again."
The third son continued: "Young Master, why don't we do what we did when we were Liuqiu?"
Li You also said irritably, "Liu Qiu did it like that, but it’s not what I thought, but here, you really can’t do that. There should be no less than two or three hundred thousand indigenous people here. Are you planning to kill them all? It’s best to slowly assimilate. Isn’t it bad like just now? If I really do like Liuqiu, I can’t afford it.”
"Young Master, you don't like to hear it. If our people are here, they will still be in conflict with them sooner or later. When the time comes, we will have to eliminate them."
Li You shook his head and said: "Of course I know this, but you must also understand that killing does not mean everything. When you have not established your footing in the early stage, it is best to keep it away."
After this time, everyone continued to drink, and they were not affected by the mood just now. It was not until very late that they boarded the boat to rest. Tomorrow they will leave here and return to Liuqiu.
The city here in Liuqiu has been built. A large number of craftsmen and manpower have started the construction of the port and breakwater. The small courtyards of the residents in the city have also been built long ago. Now they can really live here safely, and now they also It’s not too busy. Most people are trying their best to help build the port. The speed is very fast. The building materials here are all available. It will be completed in less than a month. The rest is the brick reinforcement of the city wall. Up.
For the new residents here, everyone is very welcome. After all, most of the people living here are natives of Datang. Only a few aborigines and a dozen Japanese people live here, so there is no barrier. On the contrary, they are very kind. After Gouzi had transported people here, he transferred three more ships from Nanwan back to Yangzhou. This time, when Li You came back, the dog hadn't come yet.
It was not until seven days later that Gouzi took the nine boats back to Nanwan. This time he brought all the remaining people over. The remaining task of the fleet was to continue traveling back and forth between Yangzhou and the northern camp of Liuqiu. With the nine ships here, it is estimated that in four trips, all the materials purchased by Yangzhou can be transported.
There are 3,500 more people here in Nanwan, and there must be no place to live in the city. When Li You went to Luzon, he asked people to build wooden houses and bamboo houses outside the city, which can be considered to be able to settle these people. As for housing, they can only build villages outside the city in the future. But this is nothing, it is already very safe here, even if there is no city, it is the same. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
In the Nanwan City Lord's Mansion, Li You was talking with the third son and Gouzi, and one of his staff reported that Mu Jiande would ask for him.
"Let him in."
As soon as Mu Jiande arrived, he bowed to the three of them: "The little one sees the owner of the house, the three are in charge, and Li is in charge."
"Mu Jiande, what are you doing?" Li You asked.
"Patriarch, two people in charge, I will be married to Cai'er tomorrow, and I would like to invite it today. I also hope that the Patriarch will appreciate it tomorrow."
"You are the first couple in this South Bay City to get married, I have to go." After that, Li You said to Gouzi: "You can pass this on and let everyone go to the wedding banquet tomorrow. Everyone is lively. , Prepare more food and drink, and let people come back tomorrow to get some good things in the sea and in the mountains." New Bayi Chinese website first published
"Young Master, don't worry, this matter will be left to me."
Mu Jiande didn't dare to be so public. After all, the conditions here are not too good. If you want to buy anything necessary, you can only go to the city market opened by the Li family, like candles, spices, silks, and cloth. , Paper, these all need money, although the Li family pays money for the monthly work, but they dare not invite all the people in the city. This time he invited people he knew well, and he didn't even dare to invite people from the same village.
As soon as Li You spoke, he invited everyone, and only his Patriarch dared to do it. Mu Jiande didn't say much. After all, it was a good thing to be able to marry Cai'er in this way.
On the second day, everyone here in Nanwan stopped their work and did two things. They went to the sea to fish for marine products and hunted antelopes and sika deer in the mountains. The only thing left was to prepare tables, chairs, and sika deer on the long street. Setting up the stove, this is a big banquet for nearly five thousand people, and it has been prepared since early morning.
If there were not enough stools, we just replaced them with wooden piers, and if the tables were not enough, we just put planks on them. Anyway, they took up a full street.
At noon, the fishermen came back, and their harvest was not small. They caught fish, shrimps and crabs. In the afternoon, the hunters came back. Not only did they beat more than 20 hyenas and sika deer, they even dragged two black bears back.
At dusk, Mu Jiande's mother and Cai'er's mother looked at the two kneeling in front of them and prayed and they laughed from ear to ear. They could see that their son and daughter could have such a big wedding, too. Very pleased, they never thought about it. Although the wedding is simple, it has a different meaning. Whoever holds the wedding will be attended by all the people in the city.
Li You did this in order to calm people's hearts. After all, the newcomers are not yet familiar with the environment and situation here. This is an opportunity to help everyone get closer. This is something other people didn’t think about, dog. They also just think that this is Li You wanting everyone to take the opportunity to have a good time.
Mu Jiande came to Li You in a red outfit, half-kneeled toast Li You, he was sincerely grateful to Li You.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly." Pulling up Mu Jiande, Li You said: "Today you are married. I wish you a good son early and do it."
Mu Jiande drank it and said to Li You, "Thank you, Patriarch."
"Okay, go ahead, you don't have to say hello here."
When Mu Jiande left, Gouzi asked, "When does the young master plan to leave? I'll also inform Chen Fan and them."
"No, I will go to the north in person the day after tomorrow, and then I will set off directly from the north to Huanzhou." (End of this chapter)
