The Reborn Wife is Farming

Based on this, the Nanyang countries, from the royal family to the common people, all welcomed the generals and soldiers of Daqi very much. General Zhou and the others could receive some local specialties and food for the army wherever they went. The little lions in the port are also very polite.

Officials from Dacheng who were half a month away from here even rushed over to deliver two carts of food to the little lion.

The little lion accepted it after thinking about it, turned around and gave them a box of silk and satin.

These are all high-quality silks and satins left by the pirates, a piece of tens of taels of silver, so exquisite and silky, the officials who came here looked straight at it, and they felt that this trip was worth it.

The little lion took the opportunity to express their desire to buy some land with Luzon, and he said with a worried face: "From my Daqi to Nanyang, all Western fleets pass through this area. However, in recent years, pirates have been rampant here. The people of Qi are often robbed, but our country is far away from here, even if I want to, I can't save them, so I want to represent the imperial court to buy or rent a piece of land with them for soldiers to garrison."

As if he was afraid that the other party would be disgusted, the little lion immediately said: "Don't worry, the soldiers we stationed are only used to protect the ships of Daqi, and will never interfere with your country's local affairs. If there is any conflict with your people here, we will follow your laws." to deal with."

The official's eyes lit up, and he asked cautiously, "Then I wonder if the upper kingdom can take pity on the lower people and help us drive out the foreigners?"

The little lion frowned, and said in a deliberate manner: "If they don't do evil things, I, Daqi, won't rashly interfere in the affairs of your two countries..."

It means that unless they provoke Daqi first, or do some evil things, they can take care of them, otherwise they will have no name.

The official breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as the people from Shangguo didn't just refuse outright, it would be fine.

Because Luzon is close to Daqi and has a superior port, many coastal areas have been occupied by foreigners. With the development of Daqi’s maritime trade, the royal family and officials of the country also know the importance of the port. It’s not that they don’t want to follow Daqi to make a fortune. Get rich, yet they have lost their edge.

The good natural ports along the coast have been occupied by people, and they want to take them back, but what they use are knives, and the foreigners use guns, and their force is not at the same level.

They can also build ports in places that are not occupied by people, but let alone whether they have money, even if they have spent money to build them, can they embrace them under the eyes of foreigners?

Therefore, Luzon can only pin its hopes on Shangguo.

After all, the little lion was only fifteen years old, and he kindly refused in the pitiful eyes of the officials, so he could only murmur: "Then, why not build this harbor, extend it and make it bigger, and then make two copies, one for you Luzon For personal use, one copy will be used by all of us.”

The official was overjoyed, but his face was full of bitterness and he said: "But Xia Guo is poor, what is the money for the construction of the harbor?"

The little lion raised his brows and said, "I'm only a small flag, but I can't be the master of such a big event."

The officials don't believe that you can even give up half of the port, so can't you afford the money for the construction of the port?

He knew that the young man in front of him was the son of Prince Shang Guorong, and his status was very noble. If he could get his consent, then Luzon would open up a way to make money and find a big backer.

Before the official came, he had been instructed by the emperor of his country, so he had to agree to anything he said.

Judging from the performance just now, although this young man is stable and careful, he is kind-hearted. In addition, he is still young and thin-skinned. This kind of person can be soft or tough. He just needs to say that the people of Luzon are a little pitiful.

When he mentioned that the foreigners are powerful and the people of our country are often shot and robbed innocently, the other party really couldn't bear it, but the little lion shook his head and refused, expressing that money was a big deal for him. Can't be the master.

The official was not discouraged at all. He felt that if he came twice more, the other party would soften his heart and agree. It would be even better to ask the chiefs of several nearby villages to come and beg.

When the officials left, the soldiers in the tent said anxiously: "Chief Banner, you can't listen to him. It will cost a lot of money to build the harbor. The imperial court has opinions on the military expenses spent by sending troops for us, let alone Build a port for them?"

The little lion admitted that he was soft-hearted at the beginning, but later he became more sober, and now he was even calmer. He stroked his chin and said, "I think this is a good thing. I not only want to help them repair the half Port, I also want to help them introduce merchants from Daqi, and lead them to do sea trade business together."

The little lion grinned, "Besides, my Daqi's good breed can also lend them some credit..."

Although he only stayed here for three months, the little lion also visited the natives' fields. How can I put it this way, it is really a waste of land, no matter in terms of farming techniques, farm tools, or grain seeds. behind.

And one time he went deep into the mountains and encountered a tribe. Although that tribe recognized the royal family, it existed independently and only paid some animal skins as tribute every year. Living by hunting and gathering...

There is almost no cold here, so it is really suitable for growing crops. The little lion thinks that Luzon can be developed into a food supply base for Daqi.

They can give them grain seeds on credit, support them with farm tools, and teach them how to plant, as long as they sell the surplus grain to Daqi.

Moreover, the rise in the strength of the Nanyang countries is also very important for resisting the invasion of the Western countries. They can't always rely on them to support so many countries in one country, right?

The little lion's intentions are crackling, but he is not the character of the big brother and the tiger head who say that the wind is the rain. He has always been thoughtful. opinions, and make a decision after summarizing.

It's the same now, he stayed up all night to list all the possibilities before writing letters to the crown prince, eldest brother and brother An, asking for their opinions. As for Hutou's opinion, he ignored it. Just say: "I listen to you."

So he felt that there was no need to waste paper any more.

The little lion put the letter into the envelope, thought it was not good, took out the letter again, and added "My brother, little leopard:" at the beginning of the first line.

Only then did the prince, eldest brother, Xiao An and Xiao Baozi write on the envelope, and the envelope was written densely.

When handing the letter to the soldiers, he thought of what he said today that the imperial court had objections to the cost of their troops, and immediately waved his hand and said, "The spoils in warehouses No. Pack twenty boxes and send it to the capital."

The little lion grinned at the bright-eyed soldiers: "I will have someone send the ledger to the capital alone, and my father will wait in the capital to count the spoils."

Everyone immediately changed their minds. Prince Rong hated corruption the most. They were just soldiers and wanted to survive.

In fact, it wasn't just them, even the prefects along the road, the governor didn't dare to lay hands on the twenty boxes. Didn't you see the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate waiting with wide-eyed eyes?

What's more, the account book has already been sent to the capital, who dares to do it?

The officials in the capital shut their mouths instantly when they saw the twenty boxes sent to the capital and realized that they were not even one-tenth of the spoils.

Sure enough, is there any more profitable occupation in this world than robbing pirates?
