Chapter 782 The "Forced Naturalization" Policy of King Lu

Naturally, there were no big meatballs for the natives today, but Zhu Zhixi asked someone to fetch more than a dozen dried sea fish for Sosa to take back.

These big sea fish are made in the direction of salted fish, and the actual value is higher for the Sosa department.

The next day, Yang Shang was worried that Sosa's department might not know when to come, so he rushed over early after breakfast to pull over the hundred young men from Sosa's department who were working yesterday.

In fact, there are nearly two hundred young and strong natives in the Sosa tribe.Even if the leader brings 100 people to work, the remaining people still have a certain hunting ability, but they will definitely get less than before.

Last night, the leader of Sosa and others brought the salted fish back. After grilling and eating, they found that it tasted salty. They were still excited and cheered.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Shang came over today, the leader of Sosa brought a hundred young men and couldn't wait to go with him.

Of course, the leader of Sosa would not order 100 people, either more or less, Yang Shang helped to order.

After arriving at the immigration base, the young and strong of the Sosa tribe first drank a bowl of fish porridge.Or fish broth, because there are more fish in it and less food.

Even so, the hot porridge with salt and a little other condiments still satisfies the natives, and then they started to work under Yang Shang's guidance.

In this way, King Hui had an extra native labor team.

However, Zhu Zhixi and Yu Zan couldn't help shaking their heads slightly as they watched these natives work, dissatisfied with their work efficiency.

In their view, the natives could be more diligent and quicker in doing things, but the current situation is still too loose, and it is incomparable with the people of Ming Dynasty.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Zhixi called Yang Shang and said, "Commander Yang, please go to the other two tribes to hire a group of natives, and organize them into two native labor teams."

Yang Shangben had this idea, and immediately patted his chest to assure him: "No problem."

With the Sosa Department as a demonstration, it is indeed easier for Yang Shang to hire people from the other two tribes to work as laborers-just bring people over and let them understand the experience of the Sosa Department here.

Even Chief Sosa helped persuade.

These three parts are similar to each other, and the language and gestures are generally the same, so it is much easier to communicate.

In the end, 200 people were employed in the Siwa Department with more than 50 people, and 300 people were hired in the Dongbu Department with more than 80 people.

After having three labor teams, Zhu Zhixi immediately asked Yang Shang to convey one thing to them.

Every day Huiwangling will assign tasks to three labor teams, and which labor team can complete them quickly and well will get extra rewards.

For example, a large clay pot that can be used to cook food, a wooden utensil that can be used to hold water or liquid food, ready-made clothes, and so on.

As for ironware, Zhu Zhixi advocated not giving it to the natives for the time being.

It's not that the natives will transform iron into weapons like the Mongols did, but that there is no source of iron in King Hui's territory, and iron is even more precious.

When Yang Shang arranged according to Zhu Zhixi's wishes and tried it out for three days, the working efficiency of the three native labor teams really improved a lot.

"Say it!"

Zhu Huiyan heard the leader of the Sosa tribe shouting "chat" and leading the tribe's young and strong to work, and she couldn't help saying to Yu Zan who was following him: "Zuo Changshi's method of driving the natives is indeed true. good."

Zhu Huiyan knew that Yu Zan was actually slightly dissatisfied with Zhu Zhixi, who was only 30 years old, as the left chief history of Prince Hui's residence, and he didn't like Zhu Zhixi's style of being a son of an official and gentry.

Zhu Huiyan didn't like Zhu Zhixi's style very much at first, but she knew that since Princess Kunqing recommended this person, he must have some talent.

Looking at it now, although Zhu Zhixi's character may not be that noble, his talent is really good.

Looking back, Zhu Huiyan asked again: "Has the prospecting team harvested yet?"

Although the manpower to open up fields is tight, Zhu Huiyan still selected dozens of people and formed two prospecting teams with two prospectors as the core.

Because there are many mineral deposits needed to build a territory, from the more common clay mines, coal mines, and iron mines to the rarer copper mines, silver mines, and gold mines, as long as one is found, the development of King Hui's territory can be accelerated immediately.

Therefore, Zhu Huiyan attaches great importance to the work progress in this area.

Yu Zan shook his head, and said, "The two prospecting teams within a radius of five miles have roughly checked it, and found nothing but a clay mine of ordinary quality.

Now the prospecting team is planning to explore the area with a radius of five miles to ten miles, and it will take at least ten days to complete the exploration. "

Zhu Huiyan nodded.

I understand in my heart that the construction of the king's collar can only be done slowly, and it is useless to rush.

···
In the eighth year of Zhaowu, the fifth day of May.

King Lu (Jervis Bay, New South Wales).

Zhu Yihai has been here for more than a month, and the immigration base at the port has basically taken shape.

"drive!"

When the sun was in the west, Zhu Yihai returned from the outside with five hundred relatives on horseback, and brought back hundreds of native captives.

There are men, women, and children, but there are no old natives—old people are rare in native tribes.

These natives had their hands tied behind their backs and were tied to a long rope, so they could only walk slowly in two long lines.

They were cowering, terrified, and crying.

At this time, when they came to the immigration base, they saw the tall log houses built by the immigrants in the past month or so, and the surrounding construction sites, which were strange and shocking, which made them even more afraid.

"Hurry up!"

Snapped!
The soldiers walking on both sides of the native captives saw some natives who were walking slowly, and they shouted curses and even whipped them.

Of course, their whips were not heavy, and most of the time they just whipped the air to frighten the natives.

As for the small number of native children, they sat on the flatbed trucks that carried the seized vehicles, which would not slow down the speed of the team, nor would they have to endure the hardships of long-distance travel.

This is not because Zhu Yihai and others are kind, but because he regards these natives as property, and even the source of some people in the future King Lu's territory, so naturally he doesn't want to lose it easily.

Immigrants working on the construction site on the road saw this scene and couldn't help but look over.

Only a few people looked at the emaciated natives with sympathy, most of the immigrants were pointing and discussing excitedly——

"Your Majesty broke another native tribe, is this the tenth?"

"It seems to be the tenth, and it may be the No. 11."

"This time, in addition to the natives who are young and strong, they have also captured a lot of female natives. I don't know when it will be our turn to marry a wife."

"Huh~ You really want to get a native wife? It's worthless. When you make money, whether you go back to Daming to marry a wife, or buy a Japanese or Korean daughter-in-law, isn't it more fragrant than a native daughter-in-law? It will also save face when you take it out."

"Do you think I really like native women? They are dark, thin and ugly. Isn't this too long, can't wait."

"An anxious woman can't marry a good man, and you, an anxious man, can't marry a good woman."

"Never mind him, maybe I can earn a lot of money to take over my concubine in the future!"

"···"

Many immigrant youths stared at the native women who had returned from captives, their eyes lit up.

The reason for this scene is that King Lu's policy towards the natives is completely different from King Hui's.

Zhu Yihai, after discussing with the left and right long history, the pro-military commander and other civil and military officials of the palace, now adopts a policy called "forced naturalization" against the natives.

Compulsory naturalization is just nice to hear, but it is actually enslaving the natives to speed up the construction of the Lu royal territory, and at the same time force the natives to naturalize.

More than a month ago, after landing here, Zhu Yihai took opening up fields, logging and building houses as the top priorities, and then formed a prospecting team to explore ore in the nearby forests.

After that, he divided the 300 pro-army into two parts-500 people stayed at the immigration base, and [-] people were led by him and the pro-military to sweep up the surrounding native tribes.

After defeating the native tribes, try to capture them as much as possible.Except for those natives who were too old and weak to travel far, all others were brought to the immigration base.

After they were brought back, the native men were incorporated into the labor force, and were supervised by some immigrants and pro-military to do the hard work.

The native women were first selected by meritorious pro-military and immigrants to marry as wives, and the rest were incorporated into another labor force, where they were supervised to do some light work.

If the natives try to escape or even resist, they will be punished according to the situation, and in serious cases, they will even be hanged for public display.

In short, the natives who were captured by high-handed means and force were young and strong.

"Shut up!"

Zhu Yihai simply turned over and dismounted, and handed over his beloved horse to an attendant of the palace to take care of him—although he brought horses from Daming, there were not many, only twenty, most of them were used for breeding, and only a few served as horses. His mount, or a courier to ride when delivering urgent messages.

Seeing the left and right long history waiting in front of the gate of the temporary palace, Zhu Yihai laughed heartily and said, "Why are the two long history waiting here again? Didn't you say that there is no native tribe in Yingzhou?" If the lonely relatives can't break it, why should you worry about it?"

Zuo Chang Shi Zheng Zunqian smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wrong, we are here to congratulate you on his triumphant return."

Zhu Yihai waved his hand, "A native tribe with more than 500 people, if you attack it, you will be defeated, so it can't be called a triumph."

He spoke modestly, but he couldn't hide the smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Shi Xuewen, the head of the right, frowned and came forward and asked, "How many young and strong natives and women have you captured this time, Your Majesty?"

First more.
