What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

The natural scenery of Yizhou Island is naturally very good, but for Princess Xincheng, such scenery is not a big deal. There are also many mountains and rivers near Chang’an. The hot spring village shelters from the cold, but the mountains on the Yizhou side do not have any humanistic scenery. The most people are those loggers who go into the mountains to cut down huge trees and transport them to the shipyard near the dock.

Yizhou has now immigrated millions one after another. It sounds like a lot, but a fourth- and fifth-tier city in later generations can casually come up with so many people.However, there is no way around this, because of the wars in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the population loss in the Central Plains was too much. It was not until the Tianbao period, when the population was at its peak, that it reached the level of the Kaihuang period of the Great Sui Dynasty.Of course, there must be concealment here. After all, the hidden population of the nobles of various aristocratic families has never been a small number. Otherwise, how could they get so many people to develop Anton and Anxi?

But in any case, not counting the population of Andong and Anxi, Datang's current population on the household registration book is about 3000 to [-] million people. It is already hard to know how much effort it took to immigrate millions.The main reason is that before Li Yue sealed Minyue, many Yue people here were not on the household registration booklet. Therefore, Li Yue's emigration did not cause such a big backlash, because these people originally did not pay taxes to the court.

The reason why the population growth of the Tang Dynasty has been unable to increase is that, to put it bluntly, there have been years of wars. Even if foreign wars are won more than lost, but there is no one who survives a war, and the young and strong population in the military camp naturally delays childbearing.Military generals are like this, and literati are actually similar. These days, literati who have money like to travel and study, and those who have no money have to find ways to get fame. This directly led to some relatively elite men not only marrying late, but also having children late, so that the Tang dynasty The birth rate is actually not very high.

However, in Yizhou, Ryukyu, and Mingzhou, the situation is different. The number of natives on the Ryukyu side is not too large, and they are not considered barbaric. In a place where you can feed a lot of people by spreading the seeds, there are actually cannibals. Fortunately, their weapons are really bad, except that they can cause some damage at the beginning, but soon , The casualties they caused are not even as many as the mosquito miasma in the tropical rainforest.Of course, this is not a problem. The Yue people originally lived in a similar environment, and Li Yue also started to plant Artemisia annua, the so-called Artemisia annua. This thing is really useful, at least it has a good effect on malaria Curative effect, which well protects the health and safety of immigrants.

For example, in places like Mingzhou, Ryukyu, everyone is very enthusiastic about having children. There is no way, there are too many lands, and it is really impossible to plant them if there are fewer families. In addition, the benefits given by the palace are too good You don’t need to spend money to have a child, but you can still earn money. When the child is older, he can help with the work, or even send him directly to the workshop to work. If the child becomes an adult and catches up with a round of land grant That's even better.Therefore, although everyone says that it is not too early to get married, they are very active in having children after marriage.In particular, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people were not qualified to take concubines, but in Mingzhou, Ryukyu, the situation is different. They can take native women as concubines. After all, wives are concubines. If you want to go to work, someone must do the housework at home, and the husband and wife must have something warm to eat when they come back from a hard day.And those native women also wish for this. After they get married, they will not go hungry again. In a leaky house, don't worry that one day other tribes will come to the door, and these women will be directly snatched away and become slaves of the other party.

In fact, many natives in Mingzhou are now willing to naturalize. Who doesn't want to live a good life?Although the natives say they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, their quality of life is actually very poor.They don't know how to improve crops. After so many years, they still eat those things, such as the bananas in Mingzhou. At this time, they are still very primitive varieties, very small, with many seeds growing in them, and they are not edible. , the natives actually eat the heart of the banana tree, which contains a certain amount of starch and some sugar, and the taste is actually good.The other foods are similar, they can fill their stomachs, but that's all. As for delicious things, they have nothing to do with them.

In the past, everyone came here like this, so naturally they didn’t feel anything, but they were afraid of a comparison in everything. After the immigrants came, they began to build docks, reclaim farmland, and plant various crops. In addition, the immigrants also hunted and Knowing how to fish, they marinate uneatable fish and make salted meat and salted fish. It stands to reason that these natives have the convenience of being close to the water, so they should have done something similar for a long time, but still the same sentence, they Food is so easy to come by, there are edible fruits in the forest all year round, who is looking for trouble, and what dangerous things to do!The most they can do is pick up some shellfish on the beach, but if these are not cleaned well, there will inevitably be some mud and sand, and there is not much meat in this thing, how much do they have to pick up to fill their stomachs?Compared with picking the fruit, this is clearly worth the candle.Hunting is the same, it is also risky, those in the forest, those who are easy to bully have no meat, those with meat are not easy to bully, and some small but poisonous snakes and insects are all troublesome, so they The frequency of hunting is also low.Since they can fill their stomachs by lying flat, they don't have too high demands.

However, after the immigrants came, it was different. Because of the abundance of materials, at least those under Li Yue had already formed the habit of eating three meals a day, and it did not change when they arrived in Mingzhou. The materials brought by the immigrants were very rich. Rich, even if the ground has not yet started harvesting, the things they bring can last for a long time, not to mention that there will be various supplies in the future.Therefore, every time it’s time for meals, the smell of food will be wafted from the place where the immigrants settled for reclamation, especially when they just started reclamation, and the physical work is relatively heavy. Even if it’s breakfast, they eat a lot. , So, you have to eat something real, boil the rice noodles made of rice milk into fish soup or bone soup, put some eggs in it, and some other ingredients, such as dried fish and shrimp, and then pour it With some sauces, the fragrance will permeate.At noon, rice is usually served, followed by oily meat, and there will also be a large bowl of soup with plenty of ingredients, and it is the same at night. A little bit, cut a little bit into the water, and if you are more willing to eat, cut a large piece of braised pork before going home.There are also some immigrants from the north who also make some scones, soup cakes and other things, which permeate with a strong smell of smoke, which often attracts some natives to hide in the nearby woods at meal time. Staring at it helplessly, there have even been cases where the natives went to the reclamation villages to steal food.

And some shrewd immigrants began to use food as a temptation to find those natives to help their families with work. Some natives would rather go hungry than do unnecessary things, but there are still some natives who are Want to live a better life.However, they couldn't beat the immigrants. Before, some tribes felt powerful and wanted to fight against these outsiders. As a result, the entire tribe was destroyed, and they were never seen again.The natives are not stupid, if they come back knowing that they can't beat them, then they are courting their own death, but now, they only need to help out with some work, and they can get a good meal from the immigrants. Very excited.Anyway, they usually want to fill their stomachs, and they have to pick all kinds of fruits in the forest, cut down banana trees and so on. After eating those delicious foods, let them eat things like banana tree hearts. Immediately I feel a little unhappy!Therefore, like now, there are natives in Mingzhou who are tentatively interacting with immigrants, and they are hired by immigrants to do some relatively unskilled jobs that only require hard work.

Princess Xincheng didn't know the existence of Mingzhou, but Yizhou had already opened Princess Xincheng's horizons a lot, and now several settlements here have become quite prosperous, especially Jinhua City with the gold mine as its core. , it is even more prosperous now, that is to say, Li Yue has been hiding the news that there is gold here, otherwise, I am afraid that many people will come here to pan for gold.The vast majority of people don't like to get rich step by step through hard work. Everyone prefers to get rich overnight.As for Jinhua, there have been rumors that a poor boy picked up a piece of dog's head gold directly and made a fortune before. Therefore, many people who desire to get rich overnight came here, trying to occupy a piece of land and start panning for gold.

Li Yue has no intention of asking the officials to pan for gold, but this does not mean that he cannot get back the money. Jinhua is not a place with flat terrain and rich products. It is a mountainous area, which is not suitable for farming, so various materials They all had to be transported from outside, and the people Li Yue sent out were there to sell food, tools, clothes, drinks, etc. Even though the price was much more expensive than other places in Yizhou, these gold diggers could only Admit it, after all, they can't bring their own dry food to pan for gold, and under normal circumstances, people who get money quickly spend money faster, so these people are more generous.If it weren't for Li Yue's strict prohibition on gambling and the like, I'm afraid that sooner or later someone from Jinhua will fall for it.

Even so, Jinhua still has the meaning of mixed fish and dragons. Common people can't do such things as panning for gold. The temptation of gold is so great that even simple and simple people will be greedy. Therefore, Although those who come here are not desperadoes, most of them are ruthless people.Naturally, Li Yue would not bring Princess Xincheng to such a place.

Today, five cities have been built on Yizhou Island. In addition to Jinhua, they are Chenghua, Yonghua, Qianhua, and Linghua. Now they are in Chenghua City.

Although Princess Xincheng was concerned about the situation in the Central Plains, she was extremely surprised when faced with this new and vibrant city.It has not been long since Chenghua was built, and there is no city wall built here, nor is it built according to the normal planning of Datang City.Chang'an and Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty are a square city. The city is like a game of Go, with many horizontal and vertical avenues, dividing the city into squares and cities with different functions.But Chenghua is different. It also divides the city into several parts according to the location, but it has absorbed the ideas of later generations. Each city has its own center, and each residential area is called a sparrow. It is fully equipped and the living facilities are very mature.Most of the people living in the urban area are workshop owners, or the kind of large manor owners who don’t need to go to the land in person, and there are all kinds of industrial workers, because except for the workshops that are very dependent on raw materials, other workshops and workshops are set up in Of course, it is more convenient for these people to live in urban areas.As for the ordinary immigrants who live on the land granted by the government, they live in settlements one after another. If they want to enter the city, they only need to take a special public carriage.In a few years, there will even be a track laid here, which will make urban-rural communication more convenient in the future.

Originally, Li Yue planned to take Xincheng Princess to visit the nearby mountains and rivers. As a result, Xincheng Princess obviously didn't have much interest in these undeveloped and relatively primitive landscapes. Her interest in Chenghua City was much higher. Many, after all, for ordinary people, even if such a city does not feel so tidy, it is actually more convenient and livable. A place like Chang'an Luoyang is naturally a paradise for the rich and powerful. The location, but for the people at the bottom, it is not very friendly.Although Princess Xincheng can't understand the life at the bottom, but here, what she feels most is the word hope.

Everyone here is full of hope for the future, so there is a big difference in mental outlook.Princess Xincheng suddenly asked: "Fifteen Lang, do you still need to immigrate?"

Li Yue nodded: "If you want to develop these places, the more immigrants, the better!"

Princess Xincheng nodded, and then said: "Then your chance has come!" She couldn't help but sighed.

Li Yue was stunned. He looked at Princess Xincheng and asked, "Sister, are you talking about the rebels?"

Princess Xincheng nodded with some confusion, and said helplessly: "Not all the rebels are single-minded in rebelling with Li Jingye, some of them were confused by Li Jingye, and some were coerced at all. Most of the army will not end well, rather than letting them be killed or forced to serve hard labor, it is better to make you cheaper!"

Li Yue really hadn't thought about this before, but now that he was woken up by Princess Xincheng, his eyes lit up immediately. If the soldiers become immigrants, then Li Yue's progress can be improved a lot, but the problem now is, how can I persuade the court to hand over these rebels to Li Yue?
