After ten years of sharpening the sword, one sword shocked the sky!

Chapter 146 [The barbarians outside the Great Wall bathe in civilization]

Dongzhou, Pearl Harbor.

A large ship from Southeast Asia, loaded with supplies and personnel, stopped here.

As soon as he got closer, he saw many accountants from Daxia Bank and household officials in charge of national taxation surrounding them. Under the supervision of Fengxuewei, they began to count all kinds of rare treasures brought back from Nanyang in full swing.

"Eighty pairs of ivory."

"Twelve thousand catties of spices."

"3 taels of gold and 1207 million taels of silver"

A number of figures were reported, which aroused an extremely fiery atmosphere at the scene.

Although this is not the first time the fleet has returned from the countries of the Southern Regions, the huge harvest still makes people feel swayed, giving birth to the idea of ​​going out to sea for adventure.

Bei Gongxiao, the new head of Bitao Kingdom, together with twenty other new heads from various small countries in the southern regions, under the protection of Feng Xuewei and officials from the Ministry of Rituals, got off the boat a little timidly and curiously. .

The fear is due to coming to the country where the Great Xia Bing, who broke through 21 consecutive countries, is curious because there are so many things that have never been seen before.

There are dense crowds on the pier, and there is no end to the busy crowd at a glance.

There are many street vendors selling goods, and those majestic and orderly patrolling troops, everything is something that cannot be seen in the southern countries.

"Are these properties obtained from the countries in the Southern Region?"

When getting off the boat, looking at the busy crowd, Bei Gongxiao asked curiously.

"Yes."

Zhang Ting, an official from the Ministry of Rites who accompanied him, replied:

"These properties belong to the trophies of all the officers and soldiers of Zhiyuanwei under the Nanyang Navy. The officials of the household department are responsible for counting the amount and completing the tax delivery, while the people of the Daxia Royal Bank are responsible for exchanging these properties into silver bills of the same amount."

"In this way, when many soldiers return home, they can easily carry it with them."

This process, supervised by Feng Xuewei, will not make the property of these frontline soldiers become short-changed during this process.

What is the Ministry of Households and what is the Daxia Royal Bank has already been popularized to the puppet masters of the 21 Nanyang countries before, so there is no need to explain it again at this moment.

"That's really convenient. When these soldiers go home, they don't have to carry a lot of belongings on their backs. They can carry light bank notes and go home directly."

Bei Gongxiao sighed with emotion.

Theoretically speaking, these properties were all looted from their motherland, and Bei Gongxiao should maintain resentment.

But in fact, although they are nobles from various countries, they are basically the kind that are extremely unpopular in their families. They also live a humble life and face precarious situations at any time.

Under such circumstances, they were elected as the new puppet heads of the country, received rich food and gorgeous clothes, and were promised that they could settle down in the Kingdom of Heaven in the future, which was many times better than their past lives.

And what they need to do is to enshrine to the Heavenly Kingdom the land that is only nominally still belonging to their own family, so that they can always enjoy a good life in the future, so they themselves have nothing to dissatisfy.

Soon, the group left Pearl Harbor and boarded a pre-prepared carriage.

Bei Gongxiao's curiosity that had just subsided a little bit, resurfaced at this time, he pointed to the flat white ground, and curiously asked Zhang Ting beside him: "What kind of materials are these roads paved with? stone."

Some people pointed to a section of railroad track in the distance and asked what those things were.

Someone asked why these people had to boil the water before drinking it.

Zhang Ting's task is to ensure that these puppet kings can successfully complete the interview and hand over the credentials according to the etiquette, so there is nothing impatient about the questions of these curious babies.

"Boil the water because there are microbes in the water. After boiling, these impurities can be purified to prevent illness."

"The ground is paved with a material called concrete, which is made of cement, sand and stones."

"The rails in the distance are steam train tracks. We will pass through Mingzhu City where Mingzhu Harbor is located, and then we will get on the train at Mingzhu East Station in the east of the city, and take the train to Shenjing City."

Zhang Ting explained patiently, clearly explaining the concepts of what is cement and what is a steam train.

While chatting, a group of people came to Mingzhu East Station and entered a train specially prepared for them. At this time, Zhang Ting finally concluded with emotion: "It has to be said that the Imperial Hospital established by His Majesty also has Gewuyuan. It has been a great success over the years.”

"Compared to the past, the production of steel has increased several times, and the addition of concrete allows me to build roads and build roads faster than I don't know how many times."

"I heard that many of these achievements of the Gewu Academy are developed based on the laws of natural science that His Majesty learned through exploration."

The train rumbles on.

These aborigines from Southeast Asia looked at everything around them with wide eyes and novelty.

As the train continued to move forward, they saw more scenery that they had never seen before.

The rice fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and the grains are full. According to visual inspection, the output of rice fields in Nanyang is at least double that of theirs.

Not only was there no sight of people with disheveled faces in the previous Pearl Harbor, but even the peasants working in the countryside were all strong and ruddy, and the clothes they wore didn't look ragged.

This fully shows that on this land, famine is a long-distance thing.

There are many construction scenes around the area where the train tracks run, and some brand new train stations are being built.

There are also many soldiers patrolling along the railway to prevent people from stealing the rails.

There are very few stops at the railway station at the moment. In the future, we will strive to set up a station at a certain distance, and strive to connect the entire Kyushu through this railway train in the next few decades.

Listening to Zhang Ting's introduction, the 21 puppet lords were full of curiosity and awe towards the Emperor Daxia who had not met yet.

I am also full of longing for myself to live in this wonderful world.

Although they have not seen Lin Lin himself yet, many puppet kings put their hands together subconsciously at this time, closed their eyes and prayed reverently to Lin Lin, the Emperor of Great Xia, and thanked him for the beautiful and happy life he was about to bring to them.

On the side, Zhang Ting looked at the pious looks of these puppet kings, and there were some proud smiles on his face, and he felt unprecedented pride in being able to serve such a wise and powerful monarch like Lin Lin.

He is also proud of the fact that the culture of the kingdom of heaven where he is located can deter these barbarians.
