Li Xiang continued: "Your Highness, you don't know that guy. He is more than just greedy. I have never seen such a shameless person.", mentioning the person who was originally appointed to recruit people. When the official arrived, Li Xiang's expression became distorted.
It can be seen that Li Xiang¡¯s impression of the recruitment and security officer was very bad.
"That guy not only wants to steal my, Li Xiang's wealth, he even wants to wait until all my money is taken away, and then let the Dengzhou Navy destroy me and my brothers, and then he will be labeled as a thief whose nature is hard to change. A reputation for gathering people to cause chaos."
??????????????????It seems that this guy is really cruel.
Hearing what Li Xiang said, Zhao Hongyu understood why Li Xiang had such a twisted expression when he mentioned that guy. At the same time, I also understood why Li Xiang was so entangled when he mentioned this past.
Don¡¯t say this happened to Li Xiang. If it happened to him, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to forget it.
Who are these people? Although I know that the officials in the Ming Dynasty were basically not very reliable, they would not be so unreliable.
But it¡¯s not surprising when you think about it. To those officials, Li Xiang was nothing more than a pirate. It is impossible to be taken seriously by them. Even Chizuru Hattori, who is beside him, talks about Li Xiang like a pirate.
"For people like Li Xiang, if he hadn't controlled the sea trade channels, the merchants and officials in the Ming Dynasty would not have caught him with their eyes.
"Old Li, these things are in the past. Now you will not do this kind of thing if you follow me. I can't do this kind of thing like burning bridges across rivers." He comforted Li Xiang and said to him at the same time A guarantee was made.
Li Xiang said quickly: "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. I am not talking about you. I am just talking about the old official. Please, Your Highness, please don't think wildly."
Looking at Li Xiang¡¯s frightened look, Zhao Hongyu smiled.
"You should stop thinking wildly. I'm afraid you are overthinking. It's just that we have just come into contact now, and there will be a long time to come. You will gradually know."
Zhao Hongyu said to Li Xiang.
"Of course I feel relieved about His Highness. Master Wang has made it very clear to me." Li Xiang said quickly.
Speaking of Mrs. Wang, Zhao Hongyu asked: "Oh, talking about Mrs. Wang. Why didn't he come back with you? And where is Liu Dashen?"
Yes, this time Li Xiang brought people to Nagasaki, and neither Mrs. Wang nor Liu Dashang was with Li Xiang.
After Zhao Hongyu met Li Xiang, he always felt as if something was missing. But he didn't pay too much attention to it. Now that Li Xiang reminded him, Zhao Hongyu finally remembered it, but wasn't it a little missing? Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen were not here.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu mention Liu Da Scar and Mrs. Wang, Li Xiang replied: "So that His Highness will know. Liu Da Scar is staying on Amami Island. When I go back and bring all the brothers, he will follow We came back together. As for Mrs. Wang, she has already gone to the Ming Dynasty to pick up his family."
Hearing Li Xiang¡¯s answer. Only then did Zhao Hongyu know the whereabouts of the two people.
"Well, Mrs. Wang has mentioned to me a long time ago that she wants to take over his family."
"Your Highness, some of my brothers are already old. I guess they are no longer suitable for life at sea. I wonder if Your Highness can give them a way to survive so that they can have a stable life?"
What Li Xiang said was actually a question that the old brothers had explained before coming here. I just wanted to see if they, the old, weak, sick and disabled, could register as Zhao Song and go to America.
After all, a family¡¯s 200 acres of high-quality farmland is very attractive to them.
Seeing Li Xiang's inquiry, Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and said to Li Xiang: "Yes, we must make arrangements for them so that everyone can feel at ease. Then I want to give them two choices. One is to settle here in Jiuzhou. They You can do business here, and enjoy some preferential policies and support. If you don¡¯t want to choose this, then go to America. Now we have a rule in the Song Empire. As long as everyone is registered, each family will be allocated 200 acres. Fertile land, if you enter the household registration of Zhao Song, you will be the subjects of Zhao Song, but you must abide by the rules of Zhao Song."
For Li Xiang, of course it would be better to go to America.
Although Jiuzhou is already under the control of the crown prince, God knows whenWill fall into the flames of war.
My old brothers also clearly saw this.
Therefore, Li Xiang certainly knows that his old brothers will definitely choose to go to America.
This point is absolutely beyond doubt.
What¡¯s good about being here in Kyushu is that you can do some small business.
But after going to America and becoming a subject of Zhao Song, you can get 200 acres of fertile land.
For the people of Ming Dynasty, land is the most attractive thing, even more attractive than silver.
As long as there is land, we will not starve to death.
As long as you work hard, your life will not be too bad.
??In fact, for the Chinese ethnic group, none of them are very ambitious people.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A life of two hundred acres of land, a few cows, a wife and children on the hot bed, that is the most desirable.
If they had not been unable to survive, they would not have followed Li Xiang here to become pirates.
Even Li Xiang herself would like to go to America and become a landlord if she could.
"Your Highness, I wonder if I can get 200 acres of land if I also want to be a Song Dynasty?" Li Xiang saw that Zhao Hongyu, the Huang Prince, was in a good mood now, so she had the courage to ask.
Although Li Xiang is a giant sea pirate, he actually has a common mentality at heart.
"Hehe, of course you are welcome. But you still have to organize the navy and military affairs here in Kyushu. Even if I give you 200 acres of land, you can't go to America to manage it." Regarding the household registration of the Song Empire Zhao Hongyu would not object to this idea.
Li Xiang was really relieved when he heard this, and he felt relieved.
As long as the crown prince doesn¡¯t refuse, that¡¯s fine.
In fact, Li Xiang himself didn¡¯t know what Zhao Hongyu said.
but. He asked this not for his own plans, but for his family.
"I think Li Xiang was a great sea pirate and achieved great fame, but his two sons are nothing like him and are very honest. You can tell at a glance that they are definitely not meant to eat this kind of rice.
¡°So, Li Xiang is very worried about these two sons.
If you can leave some family property for your two sons and let them live a stable life, this is also a good choice, isn't it?
¡°At least even if something happened to Li Xiang and he lost his life, his family¡¯s incense can still be passed down.
As for the daughters at home. Li Xiangcai didn't think about it.
Li Xiang¡¯s thinking is the same as that of everyone in this era, a typical patriarchal preference.
"Your Highness, my intention is to send my family to live in America after becoming a Song Dynasty citizen. Of course, I want to organize the navy's military affairs here in Kyushu, but my family can be in America."
After saying that, Li Xiang lowered his head and waited for Zhao Hongyu's answer.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t think much and gave the answer quickly.
"Okay, there is no problem. Your family can be sent to Manhattan. It has a large population, various urban construction plans have been established, and there is a lot of fertile land. If you have money, you can I'm buying some land for my family over there. You can also be a landlord." Zhao Hongyu didn't object to Li Xiang's idea at all.
Anyway, the American side has a large territory and a small population, so Li Xiang is willing to send his family there. Zhao Hongyu couldn't ask for more.
¡°And, with her family over there, Li Xiang will be more peaceful here, right?
Disguise. It means that his family members are hostages over there.
Only a fool would refuse.
"Your Highness, we have almost 200 acres of land, and there are not many people in my family. There is too much land to plant, right? My two sonssigh."
When Li Xiang mentioned his two sons, he couldn't help but sigh.
Hahaha!
Zhao Hongyu laughed when he heard this, and then said to Li Xiang: "In fact, you don't have to worry about this problem at all. There are merchants in Manhattan who specialize in selling black slaves. Those black slaves are the so-called Kunlun slaves in the past. They are all very black." They look like Yakshas, ??but these guys are really strong and are definitely good at work. As long as you feed them well, it will definitely be worth the money."
Kunlun slave?
When Li Xiang heard what Zhao Hongyu said, her eyes suddenly widened, as if she was curious about the baby.
To be honest, he has never seen Kunlun slave, butI have read descriptions of this aspect from some story novels.
¡°And what Li Xiang didn¡¯t expect was that there was actually slave trading in the Song Empire.
"These slaves were trafficked by the Southern Barbarian merchants. Our Zhao and Song Empire would not do such a thing. But with these slaves, if you buy some land in the country and let your family become landlords, your life will be pretty good."
Li Xiang thought about it carefully and it was really like this.
"I am not short of money. I can buy a large piece of land on the coast of America and let my family become a big landowner or something." You can even buy some slaves and become a real lord.
If the environment in the Song Empire is really good, it will be much better than in the Ming Dynasty.
Li Xiang was also excited.
"It's up to you to decide this matter. I've said everything you need to say. But if you want to go to America, you still have to wait. After all, the journey is too far, and the ship I have on hand is a little nervous now. Wait until I give Send a message over there and ask them to send some transport ships over before they can bring your family over."
"With His Highness's words, I feel at ease. As long as my family can live a stable life, I will sell this old bone of Li Xiang to Your Highness."
After receiving this promise from Zhao Hongyu, Li Xiang finally let go of the big stone in his heart.
After chatting with Li Xiang for a while, Zhao Hongyu looked at the sky and realized that it was already getting late. Then he said to Li Xiang: "It's getting late today, let's go and rest separately."
Then, after the two of them were polite, Li Xiang was led by the Japanese maid to the guest room. Zhao Hongyu returned to his room to meet Emma and Sarah.
It didn¡¯t take long from the time Li Xiang came to Nagasaki to the time he decided to join Zhao Hongyu. It may not even take half a day, but the efficiency is still very high.
Zhao Hongyu did not expect such a result to occur.
He originally thought that if he wanted to recruit Li Xiang, he would have to spend a lot of words.
In fact, he knew that after entering Nagasaki, when Li Xiang saw the warships docked at the dock, the once-all-powerful Sea Dragon King had already changed some of his thoughts.
After returning to Emma and Sara, Zhao Hongyu took off his heavy bearskin coat at the door.
At this time, Emma and Sierra have not rested yet, they are playing Ludo.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu come in, Emma glanced at him and smiled, then continued to focus on her game.
It was Sarah who asked.
¡°Everything went very smoothly. I can leave Nagasaki within two days as long as I have everything arranged.¡±
Zhao Hongyu walked in, sat directly between Emma and Sara, and then briefly talked about the progress of the matter.
"Well, this is great. We can finally leave this place. I'm tired of staying here a long time ago." After taking her chess piece and moving it according to the number of points she threw, Emma started to move again. He raised his head and said to Zhao Hongyu.
¡°After all, it¡¯s the nature of a child, and Emma has long been impatient in the Japanese country.
It¡¯s just that she knew that the Japanese country was very important to her husband, so the well-behaved Emma never told Zhao Hongyu.
The room covers an area of ??more than 60 square meters.
The floor is covered with thick tatami mats, and a thick layer of cotton pads is spread on the tatami mats. At the same time, there are some small copper stoves placed around to heat the room. This will not make this large room so of coldness.
¡°The winter here is not pleasant, it¡¯s a bit wet, so you should pay more attention to your health.¡±
Emma and Sarah were both wearing thick clothes. Even though the clothes they wore outside were of the style of this era, what they wore underneath was different.
The thermal underwear made of camel hair and the baby warmers costing 50 cents each allowed the two women to easily resist the severe cold of this era. No longer have to fight against death every winter like before.
"Don't worry, we are not that weak. The clothes called 'underwear' you got for us are really warm when we wear them. It just feels a little restrictive." Sara said to Zhao Hongyu He smiled, then lifted up his clothes on his lower abdomen to reveal the thermal underwear underneath. "And this magical little thing can actually generate heat on its own, so I don't have to worry about the cold."
Zhao Hongyu saw the warm baby stuck inside his clothes, and thought to himself: ¡®Maybe this thing can be sold for a big price here. Fifty cents a sticker, sold to those merchants and noble relatives of the Ming Dynasty' (To be continued)
