It's no wonder that Mao Xingjian squandered his prestige confidently. Sure enough, a month later, the atmosphere in the whole Snake City changed drastically again, becoming excited and enthusiastic.
"Wow, is it true or not?"
The heavy silver and the yellow-orange-orange gold were placed in front of him, dazzled people's eyes, full of disbelief, Geng Gengbo picked up a large ingot of silver, took a hard bite, looked at the big tooth marks on it, Geng Gengbo, who had just woken up from the surprise, quickly put the heavy money into his arms.
Not only him, but the people in the whole Snake City were all excited, queuing up and going door to door to receive gold and silver at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. It was just like Mao Xingjian's peeing. There was shouting.
"Why is the house expropriated, not our family!"
The house was expropriated, which reduced the 30.00% tax revenue, which is reflected here. The grain of one mu of land is two to three shi, and a family of twenty mu is more than 50 shi of rice. Some families only have a bachelor who has entered the New World alone. Five stones of rice is enough for one year, and Mao Xingjian will be paid fifteen stones of tax. The rest will be moldy and must be sold.
However, relying on the immigrants themselves, they certainly do not have the strength to drag thirty or forty stones of rice to the Governor's Mansion in Yukon, thousands of kilometers away, to sell. Here they have to rely on Maoxing Fitness, which they have just been full of resentment. The entire Rocky In the Governor's Mansion, only the four galleons under Mao Xingjian have such long-distance transportation capabilities. In the expectation of the residents of Snake City, Mao Xingjian organized a large-scale cattle team to transport the remaining grain to the Gem Sea, and then pulled by the Black Pearl. Go north to sell.
A stone of rice was sold to the "densely populated" Xinghaizi port, and the current market price is 11 taels. Grain is a commodity that is in short supply in the New World, and it is easy to sell. In just a few days, the Black Pearl returned with more than 60 taels of silver. back.
Each family earns at least 300 taels of silver, and those townspeople who have lost their homes but are exempt from taxes can collect more than 100 taels of silver. Gold mines still make money.
However, Mao Xingjian took the money out of Mao Jue's pocket! The only ones who developed this northern route and directly benefited from it were the Liaodong Ocean Caravan under the imperial command. Mao Xingjian sold the grain first. Food is probably not so easy to sell.
Fortunately, it is estimated that Mao Jue would not care about this little loss. Even if he did, Mao Xingjian, a cheating prodigal son, would only be happier.
Seeing the faces of families happily bringing their silver back home, leaning on the big wooden pillars on the second floor of the Prince's Mansion, Mao Xingjian, holding a telescope, couldn't help but smile full of achievement again.
This year, with this benefit, next year, they will probably work harder on farming!Moreover, when the news of the profit spread, more immigrants would come here. Coupled with the Indians who took refuge in him, I believe that Mao Xingjian's Rocky Governor's Mansion area would quickly prosper soon.
Here! It was created by him Mao Xingjian! It was created according to his dream and philosophy of governing the country! Even his father Mao Jue can't deny it!
But when Mao Xing was in a trance of Jianmeimei's thoughts, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in the center of the street, and the cavalry captain of the New World Expedition, which gave him a headache, appeared next to him with a slightly darker face. In the eyes of the prince.
"Red Ling alert! Red Ling alert! The Indian tribe is migrating northward on a large scale, pay attention to defense, huh???"
Before he finished shouting, the huge Su Ren bull skull totem in the threshing field appeared in front of Song Yongzhong's eyes. He jumped off the horse cleverly, and he pulled out the two guns without any hassle!
"Indian savages are coming to town!!!"
Chapter 786. Game Ticket for the Prince
Song Yongzhong felt like vomiting blood.
For several months, he has traveled all over the mountains and deserts, just to control the movements of the Indians, and for the safety of Snake City, the first stronghold colony in the Ming Dynasty that goes so deep into the inland. It made him almost think that Snake City was occupied.
His face was dark at first, but now he has a face that is about to catch up with Uncle Hei. He is as dull as if he is about to hail, and he packs the gunpowder bags and guns and weapons in the horse's girdle without saying a word.
At least Mao Xingjian has inherited Mao Jue's political germs. He knows that he has the thickest thighs among so many family members in Snake City at any time. In terms of understanding of the New World, no one can compare with the fact that he has been here for four years. Song Yongzhong from the mainland, he also had to pay homage to the corporal, with a kind smile of a Mingjun, and he laughed with the smiling face behind the riding captain.
"Master Song is loyal and courageous, working hard for the great cause of the court. It is really hard work. Gu has already prepared a banquet, and I invite Master Song to take a seat!"
"Thank you, Prince, but I still have military affairs in my humble position, so I can't accompany you. Please forgive me, Prince!"
Leadership is not so easy to be!He hit a soft nail, but Mao Xingjian continued to put on a hot face, desperately sticking to his cold butt. Since caring and bribery didn't work, he simply became a sincere and admitting mistake type, a dignified and cold noble son, he was almost like a spoiled child.
"I didn't discuss with Mr. Song about the recruitment of the Lakta Department this time. It is indeed a mistake, but I have no choice but to do it. There are thousands of acres of paddy fields. The rice is ripe and heavy hanging in the field, but no one is going to harvest it. I am in a hurry. Under the circumstances, this is why I hired the natives to come over to help with the labor, next time! Next time! If there is any native matter, I will invite Mr. Song to discuss the counselor, what do you think?"
Alright! Even if he was an unpopular prince, the dignified prince would lose his face like this. Song Yongzhong finally put down the reins of the horse helplessly, turned around and bowed heavily to Mao Xingjian.
"My lord, the Sioux people are still a peaceful tribe, but if you rashly recruit the Lacta tribe, it will definitely attract the fear of the other six tribes of the Sioux Language Alliance, especially Dakota, who was born from the four great chiefs. Enmity, especially the Sun Gathering held by the Sioux Clan in Snake Lake in the early summer of next year, if the Lakta Clan does not make it, the other six Clans will definitely send troops to attack!"
"And now the troubles are more than that, hunting in the Great Basin, the Caribbean Sea recorded by the British, the Apaches, the Cheyenne Zuni, the Comanche and other Indian tribes between the Spaniards and Mexico have been going south for five years, They have already returned to the Great Salt Lake this fall. In the early summer of next year, these aborigines will definitely reach the south bank of the Snake River. These people add up to a total of 10 people, and the tribe is fierce and aggressive. In order to compete for land and hunting grounds, they will fight with them. Su people, there must be disputes with Snake City!"
Needless to say, it's really right to put a hot face on a cold butt. In terms of understanding of the New World, there is no one on the right side of Song Yongzhong. Hearing that, Mao Xingjian was very shocked, and he was so horrified that his face turned pale with horror. He pinched his hairless chin, and Mao Xingjian's grim face digested it for two or three seconds before he became serious. asked.
"Master Song, how do you think Gu should deal with the current situation?"
With a serious expression on his face, Song Yongzhong clasped his fists heavily, pointing to the bull skull totem not far away and said: "Since Your Highness wants to do something with the native Indians, you can't intervene as an outsider like my Celestial Dynasty. You must integrate into the native identity, the first thing you need to do now is to marry a woman from the Lakta tribe, obtain the identity of the Su people in the form of matrilineal marriage, and then challenge the great chief Dalatda."
"Then it's time to prepare your force. Next summer, at the Snake Lake rally, you will compete for the position of the great chief of the Sioux people. At least [-] people from the seven tribes of the Sioux people in the Snake River will wait for the Cheyenne and other tribes to go north. Ren Qibu beat them!"
This one step made Mao Xingjian's face ugly. Who is he?The prince of the Ming Dynasty, even if he is a half-wasted prince now, he is still a prince!Originally, Huaxia's status was higher than that of Yidi, and if he was allowed to join the Yidi tribe, the slap not only slapped Mao Xingjian on the face, but also slapped his father, queen mother Mao Jue and Chen Jiao. If it was passed back to Daming, Mao Xingjian I really can't imagine what kind of face Mao Jue will have.
"Is there no other way?"
"Back to the Gemstone Sea, relying on the range of the Black Pearl's cannon, it is enough to make the natives come and die as many times as possible, or His Highness asks His Majesty to send a legion over, only one legion is needed, it is enough to ensure that Ming can sweep the entire New World."
Hearing these two suggestions, Mao Xingjian simply rolled his eyes, turned his back worriedly, and looked back at the bull skull totem pole standing up from the tree. After a long time, he squeezed his fist hard again.
"Just do it!"
Even if he is abolished as the crown prince, in this new continent, at least he still has a part of his Indian empire, which is not inferior to his father's achievements in ending the troubled times. After making up his mind, the crown prince twisted his fists hard. In front of her eyes, but at this time, a beautiful Sioux beauty with a dark complexion, a big nose, and a wide mouth came out bang~ bang with her biceps shining.
Seeing Mao Xingjian, the beauty of the Sioux tribe's eyes lit up, and she put her hands together to make her faint, but the corner of the prince's white and tender mouth twitched violently.
Should I reconsider this question?
........
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?"
Confused, Han Xiaomo watched inexplicably and suddenly rushed out, ripped off her coat, and wrapped around her a cloak embroidered with the sun, mountains and grass in a strong Su style. , and then took her little hand and walked out.
"Where are you going! I haven't finished writing the report yet! I still have to make dinner! Big nephew!!!"
Amidst the desperate screams, Han Xiaomo was dragged out by Mao Xingjian holding his head sullenly.
There are two ways to join an Indian tribe. One is to recognize relatives. For example, find a godfather to take care of yourself. Ahem, anyway, this is not suitable for Mao Xingjian. Filial piety is the most important thing. Who dares to call Mao Jue shoulder to shoulder?Another example is to find a brother to ask for help, but it is estimated that Mao Jue is not willing to have an extra Indian son, so Song Yongzhong was directly afraid of death in this way at the first time, and he didn't even mention it.
The second is to marry an Indian woman. In this era, North American Indians are still in the transitional stage from matriarchal society to patriarchal society. The status of women is still quite high, and men will not be looked down upon when they marry from one tribe to another. .
But after turning around, the prince's face turned green, and everyone said that the firewood house produced beauties, but that was absolutely bullshit!Survival in the New World is not easy, it is always exposed to wind, sun and rain, even a Snow White will make the old hag's arms as thick as her thighs, so strong and beautiful, the prince really can't appreciate it.
Ever since, Mao Xingjian simply came up with a combination of one and two!
Downstairs in the hall, the chief of the Talak tribe, Dalatda, and the oldest witch had already been invited there, sitting next to each other at the tea seats. Dalatda's wrinkled Helplessness and emotion were evident on the old face. As for the old hag, she still looked calm and calm, squinting her eyes and sitting there.
"What are you going to do here?"
Han Xiaomo was still in a daze, asking puzzledly, the prince, who was not preventing her from taking a step, kicked her leg lightly, without paying attention, this girl slammed into a rice cake party, and crawled directly to the old witch Front.
"Ouch~"
Fortunately, the floor was covered with mats, and it didn't hurt much from falling. She was holding on to the floor depressedly. The prairie wild girl wanted to settle accounts with Mao Xingjian when she got up, but she just raised her head, and there were three hard eagle feathers stuck in one piece, which was quite big. The ox bone was handed to her by a pair of dry and old hands. Seeing the old witch's sudden smile, Han Xiaomo took it in a daze.
Before he could understand, Mao Xingjian yanked her little hand again, dragging her to Dalatra hurriedly, looked at Mao Xingjian who was staring at him with piercing eyes, and sighed helplessly again , The old Indian actually stretched out his hand to form more than 30 feathers, and took off the long crest on the back of his head. He shouted a Su language, and finally reversed, and buckled the crest on Mao Xingjian's forehead.
An authentic Indian tribal apprenticeship, marriage, and power transfer were completed in just 2 minutes. The simple explanation is that Han Xiaomo took over the mantle of the tribe's first wizard and became the chief witch of the Tarak tribe. The chief and the great witch held Han Xiaomo's hand, expressing that he married her, so that Mao Xingjian also joined the Tarak tribe, and then he challenged Dalatra, who resolutely surrendered the position of great chief to him. gave him.
Since Mao Xingjian is still the chief of the "You Niu Department", this series of power interactions, "You Niu Department" can be regarded as being merged into the Tarak Department. Admission ticket to the game of internal power struggle.
