Chapter 206 Preparing to leave

Farming!

Isn’t it just burying the seeds into the soil?

If Yu Wenlong didn't know how to do such a simple thing, he would be an idiot, and he wouldn't be able to get to the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

So after several years of experiments, Yu Wenlong finally successfully planted food in the Dinglilac tribe. It was this contribution that he was called the Great Prophet.

With the cultivation technology, the Dingxiang tribe has never been hungry again. If it weren't for the sake of changing taste, they wouldn't even go hunting and fishing.

But this is just that the Dingxiang tribe can have such a good life, and other tribes will be gone.

For example, this tribe named Cardamom by Yuwenlong has more than one hundred people buried in the mouth of beasts because of hunting every year. This is a huge loss for a tribe with less than three thousand people.

But there is no way. If they don’t go out to hunt, they will probably starve more people to death by relying on fishing alone and their fishing skills.

Besides, it is not absolutely safe in the sea. The fish that can eat people in the sea are also big fish.

In addition to hunting and fishing, another means of survival for the indigenous people is to collect wild fruits and food. There are still many fruits in the jungle. After all, it is tropical and it is evergreen all year round. As long as you are diligent and lucky, you will basically not starve to death. After all, the indigenous people on the Indochina Peninsula survived like this, and even cultivated a lazy spirit, which is why Li Zhen was unwilling to ask for those lazy eggs.

However, it’s a pity that the Papuans are much behind those of the South China. No matter how lazy the South China people are, they at least grow food, even if the so-called planting is actually the kind that sprinkles the seeds on the ground and ignores them.

It is precisely through this cultivation method that even if they encounter major floods and disasters, they can survive with food.

But the Papuans are different. They do not understand planting techniques or have not discovered planting techniques. So when the rainy season comes, the fruits on the trees wither, so they can only eat the dry food they store on weekdays, and then go out to hunt more prey.

If they could understand the cultivation technology, they would never have been so miserable.

After dealing with the Cardamom Tribe, the next Bolognese Tribe, the Pepper Tribe, the Elysia Bird Tribe and other tribes, all the tribes kneeled down under the temptation of Li Zhen's food and luxury goods.

It’s a pity that they even have a life that is so unsustainable, let alone luxury goods. The best decorations in each tribe are actually pearls retrieved from the sea (the Maluku Islands are one of the world’s pearls), or feathers pulled out from birds, and the beautiful little stones picked up on the mountain, all of which are the most primitive decorations.

Such a primitive life, let alone a glass mirror representing the peak of the Tang Dynasty's handicrafts, they have never seen copper films before.

Facing the exquisite and exquisite mirror, no one can resist the temptation, let alone the silk...

For Laishui, a primitive man who is still wearing animal skins, this is something that only gods in the sky can use.

Under the temptation of food and luxury goods, Li Zhen quickly gathered up 5,000 people. Under the command of the accompanying designers and the step-by-step teaching of the Guards, these natives did a perfect job in just three days. In fact, there was no teaching, just asking them to help collect and transport materials. The real technical work still needs to be done by the Guards themselves. It must be waited for a while before the indigenous people have experience before they can gradually hand over the tasks to them.

Days passed day by day, and three large sea-class cargo ships were quickly filled with cargo collected from Dingliu Island. Among them, the Ningyuan and Liaoyuan were loaded with various spices, lilac, meatmeg, pepper, cardamom... everything was available, while the remaining Anyuan was loaded with precious local specialties such as pearls, gems, furs, and all were purchased from nearby tribes.

Not to mention spices, just talking about the local specialties on the last ship, the Anyuan, is enough to transport them back to the Central Plains to the Emperor.

Speaking of the Emperor, there was no cargo on it, because as the cargo ship was filled, it could no longer be loaded. Li Zhen had to let some people move to the Emperor, which was about two thousand people. As for the remaining two thousand people, they were scattered on five sea-class battleships.

"Yuwen Shaoqing, it's time for us to leave." Li Zhen stood at the bow of the boat, looked at Yu Wenlong who was still bidding farewell to the people, and greeted loudly.

"Please wait a moment and let me talk to them again." Yu Wenlong's voice was filled with reluctance. After all, he was afraid that he would never come back again when he returned to the Central Plains this time. He has lived on this Lilac Island for decades, and it is impossible to say that there is no love.

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Yuwen Shaoqing can bring a few people back. While letting them take care of you, they can also let them see the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty."

"Is this OK?" Yu Wenlong was a little moved. He was just an old man now. Even if he went back, he would probably not be able to find his family. The war at the end of the Sui Dynasty reduced the population of the entire China by three-quarters. In addition, his Yuwen family's identity, I am afraid that his family would have died in the chaos.

Although there are still descendants of Yuwen family, Yuwenlong is not a direct descendant of Yuwen family after all, so it is still a matter of whether he recognizes him or not.

So even if Yu Wenlong goes back, he is afraid he will be alone. If he can bring a few people back, not to mention anything else, with his prestige in the tribe, it will be fine to give him a pension and give him a gift.

"Of course there is no problem." Li Zhen smiled and said, "There are only a few people around. Although our ship is full, it is not impossible to even accommodate a few people."

"Thank you, Your Highness, I'm not polite." Yu Wenlong thanked him loudly, and then shouted a few words with the people from the Dingxiang Tribe in earthly words. Soon hundreds of people rushed out, pointing at themselves with excitement.

Unfortunately, Li Zhen limited the number of Yu Culture Dragons, otherwise he would have really wanted to take them all back.

After another selection, Yu Wenlong finally selected three people. These three people were not old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and their names were Molo, Batu and Liluo.

"Yuwen Shaoqing, are you planning to get them back to Dingxiang Island?" Li Zhen almost immediately understood what Yu Wenlong meant. These three people were not old. Even if they were twenty years old, they would only be in their thirties. And he was already over seventy years old, so he would never live for twenty years. In other words, as long as Yu Wenlong died, these three young men still had the possibility of returning.

Yu Wenlong seemed to be in a good mood: "There is indeed a reason for this, but more importantly, the three of them are orphans, and their parents have all died in the mouths of wild beasts. Without family, there will be no concern. They are alone and can follow the old without any concern."

"So that's the case, Yuwen Shaoqing was still thoughtful." Li Zhen nodded repeatedly. Jiang was still old and he didn't expect this to go up.

"Your Highness has been awarded."
