I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 135 Treasure Boy Xiao He
Three days later, Qin Er brought the leaders of dozens of tribes to the place where Li Yu's fleet stopped.

Surprisingly, among these tribal leaders was a man named Huanggang who used to be from Baiyue. He was swept here by the wind and waves just because he was fishing in the sea. A few years later, he became the leader of the tribe. .

And among Chen Qingzhi's [-] sailors, many were Yue people who were newly recruited after the Lujiang battle.

After hearing the news, everyone no longer has to worry about the language barrier.

Through Huang Gang's translation, the rest of the leaders initially knew that the strangely dressed people in front of them came from a country called Daqin at the other end of the ocean.

In the eyes of these aborigines, the word kingdom is equivalent to the chief of the entire island.

But thinking of this, the expressions of the indigenous leaders suddenly became longing.

By observing the changes in the expressions of these leaders, Li Yu can conclude that they must regard themselves as the (big leaders) of the Great Qin Kingdom.

Therefore, Li Yugang raised his right hand, in the eyes of these indigenous leaders, it meant that he wanted to crown them and give them courage.

And then, under the surprised gazes of Li Yu and everyone else, dozens of indigenous leaders, big and small, lined up and knelt down in front of Li Yu, and then stuck their heads on Li Yu's palm...

What he said, using Huang Gang's explanation, is to say: "May respected chief, your courage can bring more spoils of war to our warriors."

At the end, when Huang Gang put his head up to ask for blessings, Li Yu broke free from the confusion, then withdrew his right hand and said, "What are you doing?"

Huang Gang chuckled, and said in Vietnamese: "This group of idiots imagine you as a great leader, General, and they all want to accept your blessing."

???

Li Yu couldn't believe it and waited for others to look at his right hand. It was covered with various colors of plaster paint, and the palm of his hand was already colored.

"You tell them, let them call their own clansmen to this place and build a camp for this Marquis, then they will be able to get my reward."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he asked Qin Er to take out a few kang cakes and hand them to Huang Gang. When Huang Gang saw the kang cakes, he was naturally moved and shouted excitedly: "It's been so many years, my mother is finally seeing you again!" It's time for the kang cake..."

After Huang Gang distributed the kang cakes in his hand to many indigenous leaders with excitement and reluctance, he said again: "Can the villain ask the lord for a favor?"

Li Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then guessed that Huang Gang would probably ask him to take him away from this place, so he said: "You can be regarded as a translator. As long as the request is not too excessive, I can agree to you."

Huang Gang grinned when he heard the words, and bowed to Li Yu: "Thank you, my lord, I hope my lord can give the villain some raw rice seeds, or wheat seeds."

……

Originally thought that Huang Gang hadn't returned home for many years and wanted to give him a ride, but he didn't expect to beg for seeds.

Li Yu was a little surprised and said: "Why don't you leave this place with Ben Hou and go back home?"

After hearing the translation from the soldiers of Yue, Huang Gang suddenly became sad, and said, "Your Excellency doesn't know, but the villain has already lost his relatives in Yuedi, but on this island, it was a disaster..."

Speaking of this, Li Yu already knew that Huang Gang might not want to part with the beautiful girl in his own group, so he explained it like this.

But people don't want to say it, and Li Yu didn't have the time to pursue the root cause, so he readily agreed: "I just want some seeds, I promise you that is what the Marquis promises."

"However, this Marquis' seeds are not given for nothing."

"My lord, please explain."

Since Huanggang was able to become the leader of the island tribe as a troubled fisherman, and was not annexed by other powerful tribes, it shows that Huanggang himself still has some abilities.

Li Yu naturally knew this too, so he wanted to take Huang Gang under his command and let him be a teacher of Vietnamese and indigenous dialects, or a bridge.

And besides Huang Gang, there is indeed no better candidate to help Li Yu solve the problem of language barrier.

Then I heard Li Yu say: "You are asking for seeds, all you want is to cultivate food in the ethnic group, so as to change the way of life of the indigenous people, am I right?"

Huang Gang nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said: "I am originally from Yue, and I know that the climate here is very suitable for food cultivation, but I can't cross the sea to return to Yue, otherwise the villain would have brought food here to plant."

Huang Gang's words made Li Yu think that in some southern regions in later generations, rice can be harvested twice or even thrice a year...

If rice with two crops and three crops can be cultivated on this island, then by increasing the number of grain harvests in a year, even if high-yielding rice cannot be cultivated, it can also greatly increase the grain output of Qin State.

Thinking of this, Li Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile: "If you can lead the locals to reclaim fertile fields and grow rice here, I will protect you in prosperity and wealth."

As soon as Li Yu's promise was spoken, Huang Gang laughed like a rotten persimmon, and quickly thanked him.

Among the people around him, Xiao He, as the only civil official of the Qin State, not only knew the laws of Qin clearly, but also knew a lot about the common people's farming.

As soon as Li Yu and Li Yu mentioned planting rice on this island, Xiao He immediately became interested, and then he praised: "Master Hou really cares about Daqin wherever he goes, and shares his majesty's worries.

Most of the rice planted in my Daqin is in Yuedi, but there are also a small part of the area that is suitable for planting. Other places are either drought or flood, and there are not a few grains of grain harvested throughout the year.

This place is different. This small island is densely forested, which means that the land is fertile and there is a lot of water. The sunshine time is longer and the temperature is higher. This climate is enough to increase the rice yield a lot. "

Li Yu didn't expect Xiao He to be familiar with the details of rice planting, so he immediately looked up a bit, and asked: "Master Xiao actually knows the art of farming?"

Xiao He couldn't help cupping his hands and said with a smile: "Although I'm the head of the county yamen, it's part of my job to be familiar with the laws of Qin. Naturally, I often read other books. Naturally, I know a little about farming, but I'm not proficient."

This is the legendary treasure boy?
Or... the treasure old man?
Li Yu looked at Xiao He in disbelief, but the more he looked at it, the happier he became. It wasn't because of Xiao He's diverse and extensive knowledge, but because Li Yu thought that the Hainan Island newspaper would have to apply for a separate county.

In this way, Xiao He is just suitable to arrange to be a county guard here, and Xiao He is Li Yu's recruit, and this Hainan Island has been established as a county, so Li Yu is naturally very relieved.
