Datang first village

The Port of the Stars has been considered by the Mayans to be the center of the Americas in the future. .

Li Changying has left Li Yuanxing's fleet and took her Li family to Panama.

And King Tikal took the seven Mayan kings on the boat to Chang'an. There was a contract that would only come into effect after being signed by the supreme king of kings, the spokesperson of the gods in the world, and the emperor of Datang.

This is the contract between the city-state of Tikal and the Li family of Longxi.

Among the two most important contracts, one is about the Panama Canal, and the other is for the establishment of a port in North America.The location was chosen in San Francisco in later generations.

The leader of the city-state of snakes, the king, has not yet chosen a partner. He is not waiting and watching, but is getting a huge benefit.That was the first cement factory in America.

The King of the Chieftains, the Great Wizard of the Serpent Capital (Calakmul).His name means Karak in the natives, chief.Or the meaning of the leader.Li Yuanxing couldn't call him his tongue-twisting name. After getting close to him, Li Yuanxing called him Lao Ha, because his name was pronounced Ha De.

Li Yuanxing found a coal mine within the territory of the Snake Capital, as well as a limestone mining area nearby, and an iron mine within a hundred miles.

"Thirty thousand slaves, I guarantee that when the fleet returns next time, one piece will be built according to the blueprint." Harder said to Li Yuanxing confidently: "The blueprints in the Central Plains are very exquisite, and this stone-making technique is really extraordinary. This Cement, at least for a few years, could bring huge fortunes to the snake capital."

Li Yuanxing didn't react too much, but just looked at the construction site from a distance.

There are about four thousand soldiers from the Snake Capital urging the slaves to work with leather whips.Those slaves didn't have too many tools, and many stones were moved by pure manpower.

"You know, you wasted 4000 manpower!"

"You mean, my soldier?"

Anyone who can become a king definitely has a lot of wisdom. As soon as Li Yuanxing opened his mouth, Harder knew what Li Yuanxing meant.

"Try my method?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

The leader of the Snake City laughed loudly: "I know your method. You know those slaves who dig coal say that whoever digs more will have more food. Food is a precious commodity, and slaves are just a kind of Consumables."

"Consumables?" Li Yuanxing sneered.

"Am I wrong? I trust your wisdom, Lord of the Stars. That's why I want to hear from you!"

"Okay!" Li Yuanxing nodded heavily: "Since you believe me, then try my method for a few days first. If you want to be reasonable, I will just say one thing, when you have no slaves and soldiers are not enough, What will you do. Don't ask me. Think of the little city-states."

will get weaker.will be wiped out.

at this point.Li Yuanxing didn't need to remind Harder to understand, because many city-states died because there were not enough slaves, and there were not enough soldiers.Whether it is production or war, they have lost their strength.

"You mean, in the future, we still have enemies. Not just those people who are not worth mentioning on both sides of the north and south?" Harder thought of the future.

Li Yuanxing nodded solemnly: "These slaves, no matter what you say, are yellow-skinned like you and me. They have many similarities with our beliefs and traditions. Even if they are not a city-state, they are still the same people. But Next, there is a completely different belief.”

"Please continue, wise king of the stars." Harder had seen the world map.

"In Europe, pure white people think that they are the masters of this world. They will slaughter and enslave colored people. Whether it is yellow or black. In Central Asia, there are people who are crazy about religion and want to kill all aliens. Christians. Even in the south of our Great Tang, there are still two not-so-small enemies, and they are not of my race."

The dark prophecy deeply affected the hearts of all Mayan nobles.

"If I follow your method, will they be loyal to me?" Harder asked again.

Li Yuanxing asked back: "If I don't show you my heart, will you believe me? Will you open your heart instead and communicate with me in depth?"

"I understand, let me try first. But, I don't have that much food?"

"I have!" Li Yuanxing said confidently: "And, after your cement plant is completed, everyone who wants to build a city or a port will exchange grain, or cocoa, or coffee. .In short, the income of your cement factory is at least equal to the grain grown by the ten city-states below you, or even more."

Harder thought for a while, then nodded vigorously: "Lend me some fragrant biscuits first, and then some rice."

"No problem, ask someone to bring a boat over immediately. I will arrange it myself."

Li Yuanxing turned and left.

Hader walked down the hill, and the whips were flying down the hill, and all the slaves were beaten to their knees by the soldiers.

"Don't hit them yet!" Hader said, and the soldiers all backed away.

"You are slaves, but now the twenty city-states are united. And there will be evil enemies in the future, so I, the great king of leaders, will give you a chance. Those who were originally soldiers can get a chance to fight, and the rest Every 100 people are divided into a team, whoever does the work fast and well will be rewarded with food, according to yesterday's work standard, as long as it exceeds 30.00%, you can get the reward."

No slaves spoke, they couldn't adapt to such a change.

"The great and wise King of the Stars will send food, and after a while the food will be distributed to everyone. I will also let the soldiers stop whipping you, but those who are less than 30.00% will be punished."

There are too many of those biscuits in the fleet.

Li Yuanxing also had slaves under his command, and they were obviously in better spirits than the slaves here.

Calling these slaves here is also setting an example, telling everyone that working hard will have enough benefits.

The soldiers began to retreat, just guarding the periphery to prevent anyone from escaping.

"Captain, why can slaves eat fragrant biscuits?" A soldier was very dissatisfied. As soldiers, they are Mayan warriors, and their status is naturally higher than that of ordinary civilians. How can they compare with those slaves.So the delicious fragrant biscuits were distributed to the slaves, which made them dissatisfied.

Not only this soldier, many soldiers complained a little.

This kind of complaint quickly reached Harder's ears, and he immediately turned to Li Yuanxing for help.The answer I got was even simpler: "Let the soldiers and the nobles be better. Don't forget, what I told King Kaka of the Inca is that the common people have ten times the income, but the nobles have twenty times, or even more."

"I really don't know, where do you get so much food?"

"Believe me, food will be the last thing you pay attention to. Within half a year, what you are worried about is not that there is not enough food, but that you are not enough to store food. Now that you have helped, I will help to the end." Li Yuanxing After talking to Harder, he instructed Pei Xi, "Go and bring down some luncheon meat, and then prepare some tortillas."

Corn tortillas are Datang's military rations that are more advanced than fragrant biscuits, and they are already close to the range of compressed biscuits.

Hader himself came among the soldiers.

First, he ordered someone to open a box, which was full of coins.The Mayans didn't have the concept of currency yet. Doesn't it mean that the Mayans didn't know what it was?

They even knew that these coins represented one, two, five, and ten respectively.

Two hundred coins can be found for a roll of white linen, and 320 coins can be exchanged for a roll of extremely fine and soft white linen.

Two thousand coins is a whole bolt of ordinary white linen.

And the rest, such as the knife used by the warriors in the Central Plains, the difference is [-] coins, and the good is [-] to [-] coins.

"You guys are very blind. We have been dealing with the brothers from the Central Plains for two months. Have you ever eaten that fragrant biscuit? It's a second-class food. I bring it to you this time. If you want to eat better food, you have to fight hard!"

"But where are our enemies?"

The chief executive of these 5000 people came out to ask. He is also a nobleman, so he is qualified to ask questions.

"Receive training first, the enemy will have them. And you will have enough spoils." Since Harder knew that Datang had enemies, it meant that they also had targets to fight.Metal was originally forbidden, because having metal represented war.

But this is limited to outsiders, as well as civilians and slaves.

If warriors do not fight, they will become civilians, which is what Mayan warriors do not want to see.

Spam is delicious, of course, and so are tortillas.

Harder found Li Yuanxing again: "King of the stars, warriors cannot be without enemies. You must not ignore this. I really want to ask, will the future war be with the contractor or with Datang."

"Some sporadic small wars are naturally contracted, but we have three big battles to fight."

"Have a goal first, otherwise the Mayan warriors will be lost!"

Li Yuanxing held his chin and thought for a while: "There are two goals. The first goal is for the Inca king. To unify all the warriors of the Inca, train on the high mountains of the Inca city-state, and they will be able to fight in a year at most. I will choose the most Excellent generals will teach them how to become stronger!"

"What about Maya?" Harder asked.

"We need a place for training, which is in Northern Maya. One time is a joint training of [-] warriors. I will be responsible for all the food, and this time the spoils can be distributed to each city-state at least one ship. Big ship No. [-] There will be no less than five boats of grain, which will be distributed among the nobles in the city-state."

Li Yuanxing already had an idea in mind, just a little food.

These Mayan soldiers don't need to pay any military salaries, they only need to eat well, and another food distribution is enough.Even if you send money, it won't be too much.This expenditure is really nothing to Datang's current treasury. . )
