There are hundreds of tribes of various sizes here, but the largest tent in the middle is always empty.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that a group of people came here. After accepting Datang's gift, they walked into the middle and largest tent without any hesitation.
The reason why Li Yuanxing set up the largest tent in the middle was because he wanted to see if there was a tribe recognized by everyone as the strongest, or a tribe that would become the king of the island.
After the sun rose, Li Yuanxing got off the flying boat wearing the robe of King Qin.
Just on the beach, except for three women, all the tribes were crowded in the back, and only those three women stood in the front. The leading woman was about fifty years old, and she was wearing silk. Although
It's a little old, but it's silk.
Li Yuanxing sat down and pointed to the chair in front of him. There was only one chair there.
The woman, about fifty years old, bowed to Li Yuanxing according to the Tang Dynasty etiquette. Judging from the etiquette, it was a man's etiquette, the kind of etiquette for subordinate officials to meet their superiors.
Li Yuanxing bowed slightly, which was considered a return gift.
"I, Fu Xingzhu!" She actually spoke in Chinese, and then a long string of words that Li Yuanxing couldn't understand. It was a bit like Baekje, but not like it. Instead, the young woman next to her spoke: "
My name is Fu Qinghua, and I am the heir to the first star master. The star master said to the noble King Qin, it is the glory of our Jiyi tribe to have a big man like you here. King Qin of the Tang Dynasty is the star king in the sky and the star king in the world.
God!"
Li Yuanxing nodded slightly again: "I am a little surprised."
"I, a native of Jiyi, were originally attached to Baekje. Princess, I am the one who paid Tsinghua University. I studied in Baekje for six years and just returned to this island three days ago. So I know the noble King of Qin!"
Li Yuanxing smiled and waved his hand: "I am here for you, no matter what you think. In fact, it is good for both parties. Datang needs this island, because building a port here will be of huge benefit to Datang."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin came alone, without any troops pressing down on the border. We, the Jiyi people, believe in your sincerity!"
Li Yuanxing clapped his hands, and Lu Maofeng placed a box on the guest's table.
The Star Lord is equivalent to the king of the Jiyi people.
Before Fu Xingzhu opened the box, Li Yuanxing said: "You Jiyi people believe that the sea water is the tears of stones and the tears of haenv. The sea water is salty, like tears. However, the gift I give you is very simple.
Let your haenyeo no longer shed tears, and let this beautiful island only have joy!"
After hearing his daughter's translation, Fu Xingzhu opened the box in front of him with doubts.
"Ah!" Fu Xingzhu exclaimed and stood up. She could hardly believe her eyes. It was a box of pearls, one and a half centimeters in diameter, golden pearls. Their Aenyeo might not be able to hold such pearls even if they were a hundred years old.
I was able to put this together.
"Surprised?"
"Isn't this surprising enough?" Fu Qinghua asked.
Li Yuanxing clapped his hands gently, and ten guards lined up. Each one opened a box and found ten plates of pearls in ten different colors and about 1.2 to 1.1 centimeters in diameter.
Fu Xing advocates having a big mouth and holding something with both hands.
Li Yuanxing clapped his hands again, and the pearls were taken away and replaced with ten boxes. However, there were ten boxes of different shapes, including triangles, stars, rhombuses, etc.
"No, that's not real."
"Continue!" Li Yuanxing sat calmly on the chair. Twenty personal guards carried out ten boxes. After opening them, they found ten boxes full of pearls, each of which was about 0.3 centimeters in size. Such a size
In the eyes of Fu Xingzhu, the pearls are the pearls that normal people can see.
Fu Qinghua inserted her hand into the box. She really doubted that it was only the top layer of the box.
But in fact, it is a full box.
You must know that such a box of pearls is one that even the hundreds of thousands of haenyeo on the island may not be able to save in such a fine quality even if they work hard for a year. They risk their lives to exchange these pearls with the Baekje people for food and clothing materials.
Li Yuanxing clapped his hands gently, Qiuxiang stood up, took out a notebook and read: "Last year, Tamra and Baekje traded, and got 550 pieces of silk."
"One year, your income for the entire year is only these 550 pieces of silk."
Li Yuanxing stood up: "Do you know what the Princess of Silla asked for from me when she offered Silla as the capital of the Tang Dynasty? She asked for 10,000 pieces of rainbow brocade, 10,000 pieces of cloud brocade, three kinds of grain seeds, and 10,000 dan.
Thirty thousand kilograms of fine steel.”
"We understand that the people of Silla were attacked by Goguryeo. In order to protect themselves, they might as well become a land of the Tang Dynasty. The Jin family can also guarantee their wealth. The power of the Tang Dynasty can destroy Pyongyang in one day. Silla knows
They are unable to resist, and we Jiyi people are also afraid, fearing that our entire island will become the slaves of the Tang Dynasty."
"Have you ever heard of Jin Manqing?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.
Fu Qinghua shook his head.
Li Yuanxing signaled Qiu Xiang to talk. When Qiu Xiang was halfway through the story about the lawsuit in Chang'an City, Fu Qinghua shouted: "That slave is not a princess, but is better than a princess. A high-ranking Goguryeo female slave, just because of her
Become a Tang Dynasty person!"
"Do you know what this king said to Silla Kinderman?"
Fu Qinghua shook his head again.
Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "I told her that whether she is about to marry the prince of the Tang Dynasty or as the princess of the Jin family of the Peninsula, she will lose her identity by talking about those things. I will give her a hundred times. Now.
, I want to tell you, five hundred and fifty pieces of silk, hahaha!"
Li Yuanxing's laughter was confident and a little crazy.
But this person in front of him is His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty. He has the qualifications to be crazy. No more than three people can bow their heads in front of him.
"This king will give you Ji Yi people a thousand times."
"One, a thousand times!" Fu Qinghua suspected that he heard wrongly.
Li Yuanxing sat down again: "I will let you calculate, the silk of Baekje is the lowest quality silk goods in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is no longer producing it because the people don't need it. All the silk goods traded with foreign countries in the market are
It's an old stock in stock, and one horse is worth about two guan. Five hundred and fifty horses means 1,100 guan, right?"
"Yes!" Fu Qinghua nodded heavily.
Li Yuanxing laughed to himself: "Wrong calculation!"
Just when Fu Qinghua thought that Li Yuanxing just said a thousand times was too high and would regret it after calculating the accounts, he heard Li Yuanxing say: "I knew I would have said ten thousand times. A mere thousand times is really not much. It's just that
It's just more than one million guan. There are about 300,000 to 400,000 residents on this island. If it is averaged to one person, then this is a lot of money. I think everyone can earn at least ten guan each year."
"This!" Fu Qinghua didn't know how to translate it. The more Fu Xingzhu listened, the more he felt that his daughter had heard it wrong. How could it be such a number? Ten thousand times of five hundred and fifty pieces of silk. This is
A myth?
Li Yuanxing turned his head and said a few words to Qiuxiang. Qiuxiang called out the guards who understood the Baekje language, and then said loudly what Li Yuanxing had said to the leaders of the Jiyi tribes standing behind.
Many leaders had ignored the rules and rushed to Master Fu Xing, shouted a few words loudly and then ran back.
Fu Xingzhu's eyes were dull.
Fu Qinghua gritted his teeth and shouted loudly at Li Yuanxing: "The Tang Dynasty is a big country, and we are just a small island. We have no army, and we don't have enough men to fight. Don't lie to us, we Jiyi people are willing to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
"
"Do you think my words, Li Yuanxing's, are not weighty enough?"
"No, we don't dare!"
Li Yuanxing stretched out a finger: "Don't worry, I will settle the accounts for you." After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he said to Qiuxiang: "Go and get some coins, grain, silk, etc. Whatever is on the ship, put them here.
, and then ordered lunch to be prepared, it seems that this negotiation will take some time."
Qiuxiang nodded and immediately ran back to the flying boat.
Wang Yuyan was watching from the window. She finally understood that Li Yuanxing came here to merge this island into the big island. They were negotiating terms and there were many benefits. After calling her maid and whispering a few words
, the maid ran to Li Yuanxing and whispered a few words in his ear.
Li Yuanxing was stunned, but after thinking about it, he smiled.
Although Wang Yuyan's suggestion sounds childish, it is very reasonable.
Things were laid out, a large amount of supplies, and various items. It can be said that most of the people on the island did not know each other. Li Yuanxing smiled and lit a cigarette. He was not in a hurry, because he wanted to convince the entire island.
A person, not a certain person. "Liu Xiaowei, go and arrange for people to explain to each tribe what the king asked you to put there? Especially how much is it worth in Chang'an and how much is it worth when sold to foreign countries?
, It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember everything, it’s probably OK. In particular, you need to explain what the currency is and what does the value of the currency represent?”
"I understand, this is the arrangement." Lu Maofeng selected people and explained. Hundreds of people gathered around and listened attentively.
Li Yuanxing had already set up a pavilion and had some tea.
During lunch, various Jiyi tribes brought tens of thousands of catties of sea fish, which was also their sincerity.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the leaders of each tribe returned to their original positions and sat on the beach. Li Yuanxing sat under the pergola, but this time the person sitting in front of him was Fu Tsinghua University.
"I am the Star Lord now, and I accept the gift of the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the Jiyi people!"
He even used the word "enci". This girl has learned Chinese well and is quite smart. "Enci" is both a flattering language and a gentle threat. You Tang Dynasty can't bully us. Almost all of us here are women.
The Jiyi people.
"Although I dare not say how many there will be, there will be many men here soon. What I want to make clear is..." Li Yuanxing was about to say that he did not regard this place as a brothel in Chang'an, but Fu Qinghua listened behind him.
Several hundred people who passed the translation shouted, and Fu Qinghua also stood up: "Will there be ten thousand men?"
Li Yuanxing was shocked... (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
