269 Xu Mei’s Diary Part 2

[Seventh day of May, rain]

Everyone held a short meeting today. The reason is that Xu Rong wants to stay on this island. She wants to conquer these local indigenous people and let them cultivate and cultivate it.

At the same time, complete the task of finding suitable rice seeds.

Her reasons are good.

First, Gaodao has a suitable climate. According to the local indigenous people, the average temperature here is high throughout the year, with abundant rainfall in summer and a minimum temperature of more than ten degrees in winter, making it very suitable for the development of agriculture.

Secondly, there are many fresh species here that are not found in the Central Plains, and the local indigenous people already have the awareness of farming. What they grow is the rice that the owners talk about most.

Finally, Xu Rong has another reason that none of us can refuse.

She said: I know it will be dangerous if I stay. The indigenous people here have a strong sense of territoriality and are very savage. But it is precisely because of this that I want to stay. I want to spread the fire of civilization to this land.

. And I believe that the feedback from this island will definitely surprise us, and the third lady will definitely agree with me!

[Rain on the tenth day of May]

Summer has arrived in Takashima, and the rain has gradually increased, which has also caused considerable obstacles to everyone's movement.

We set off again, and Xu Rong, another student, and the ten crew members arranged by boss Gongsun stayed in Gaodao.

We left them two boats and some magical artifacts.

They will be led by two students to complete the unification of the tribes in the mountains and then spread civilization.

I hope everything goes well, and I also hope that our decision will not cause the innocent sacrifice of two students and the ten crew members.

【June 1st, Yin】

Today I finally have time to write a diary. In the past twenty days, we have done too many things, too busy, and too rushed.

We have arrived at the hinterland of Jiaozhou, and sailing with a favorable wind allowed us to arrive at Jiaozhou from Gaodao very quickly - from this we learned that Gaodao is only a five-day voyage from the land. Of course, it may also be due to the favorable wind that the sailing speed is much faster.

speed up.

When the big ship appeared on the coast, it didn't attract anyone's attention because there was no one living on the coast.

The coastline has been a natural barrier for Daqing for thousands of years, so people have long been accustomed to the knowledge that no one can come from the sea.

Until today, when we came to the hinterland and met the people here, they were extremely surprised and sighed that there were actually people coming from the sea.

During the communication with the local people, we also learned that Gaodao is not a hidden island. In fact, some people in Yangzhou already know that such an island exists.

On the fog-free sea surface, the high and winding mountains of Takashima can be vaguely seen.

However, no one has been able to get there by boat yet.

But my team members and I guessed that the Yangzhou Sun family was the best at shipbuilding and water warfare. Perhaps they had secretly kept this "Yi Island" in mind and were waiting for an opportunity to capture it.

Thinking of this, my team members and I felt proud in our hearts - our people had already got on board first!

【June 3rd, sunny】

After boss Gongsun’s efforts, we have successfully purchased a manor near the sea in Jiaozhou and are about to start land reclamation work.

There are too many ethnic groups in Jiaozhou. Although the Daqing court also appointed state shepherds, county magistrates, and administrative officials of this and other prefectures, in addition to state shepherds, the other county magistrates, Daojuns, and Fujuns were all powerful local tribal leaders.

They disliked the imperial court and refused to obey its discipline. Moreover, due to geographical factors, there were many mountains and miasma, so the imperial court was unable to spare troops to deal with these unruly people who did not pay taxes.

Also because of geographical factors, the production level here is backward, and farming only accounts for a very small part of them, with most of them focusing on hunting.

It's summer now, and the mosquitoes, rats, and ants are very noisy.

Fortunately, along the way, I gained experience from communicating with indigenous people from various places. I put on a white nurse cap and a white nurse uniform. As a doctor, I gave small profits, a piece of candy, and a picture.

Wheat cakes, a veil, a pair of shoes or something else.

The local children like me very much, their parents are much more tolerant of me, and I can easily meet the witch doctors of the tribe.

These witch doctors seem very difficult to get along with, but I still summed up a set of methods to deal with them.

First of all, as both women, they are less defensive about me than other team members.

Secondly, they are probably the only educated people in the tribe who understand Mandarin, so we can communicate smoothly.

Finally, as long as I take out the medicine, there will be no tribe that does not welcome us.

They are too poor and live a difficult life. In fact, witches take more of the responsibilities of witch doctors, and they know very little about herbal remedies.

And most of the treatment methods still cannot escape the category of witchcraft, such as drinking children's urine, putting live centipedes into the mouth, and many, many more. I have prepared a book of local witch medicine prescriptions to record these strange prescriptions.

.

Therefore, as long as I successfully penetrate the inside and introduce the real doctor, Dr. Li, there will be no one among the tribal leaders who dislikes us.

And Boss Gongsun is really powerful. He knows what these leaders need. The salt, cloth, earthenware bowls, pots, kitchen knives, needlework and thread brought by the ship are all very popular in the local area.

We also won over a few strong local young men and asked them to lead some team members to continue southward in search of the sugar cane, gum trees, etc. mentioned by the third lady.

[June 15th, sunny day]

Everyone gained a lot today, we found many new species.

The manor has taken shape, our Xujiazhuang branch has built its first base, and everything is going steadily and well.

In mid-July, Boss Gongsun will return with various local specialties we have collected. If everything goes well, we should be able to reach Beihai before winter and return to Yuyang after the new year.

Xu Nai and I discussed and thought that we could send some more students from the Agricultural College. We are really not very professional in farming, and the locals are even worse at farming - they don't want to farm at all, they just want to be in the forest.

There are more prey there.

By the way, today the leader of the tribe where we live came over and wanted to marry me as his second wife, and we almost had a conflict.

Fortunately, Boss Gongsun solved the problem.

However, this also reminds us that when the large army led by Boss Gongsun leaves, there will inevitably be a fierce battle.

But my team members and I are ready to fight! We will never let the enemy succeed!

Thinking of fighting, I, as a doctor, can't wait. I can't wait to practice the things I learned in the tribe camp - sowing discord, dividing them, and leveraging their own strength. The tribes here are so

If there are many, we can always find a tribe that is willing to help us!

.

The night was already very late. Xu Yue put down the last diary written by Xu Mei, feeling proud of the students but also worried about their safety.
Chapter completed!
