Chapter 917:
Savoring the various aspects of life in the photo album Ren Zuo looked at the woman standing next to the chieftain that Guan Tao mentioned. In fact, he didn't know who this woman was at first. Later, when he heard the boatmen on the boat heading south, he learned about Tang Yao's identity. He was even more suspicious in his heart whether the chieftain had already arranged a marriage with this woman from the Tang tribe.
He recalled the rumors he had heard and then introduced her to Guan Tao.
"Uncle Guan, this person is not from our Han tribe. She is the next female chief of the Tang tribe, which is opposite Takuhai County. She was appointed by the current chief of the Tang tribe to be an envoy of our Han tribe, just like our Han tribe sent envoys to Takeshima.
The envoy of the Tang tribe is good at medicine and can identify medicinal herbs. Now there are many cooperations between the Tang tribe and the Han tribe. Our Han tribe promotes currency, as well as various planting and breeding methods in the Tang tribe. In exchange, the Tang tribe will teach our Han tribe the medical methods it is good at.
At present, this envoy lives in the chief's home all year round and usually works in the medical school in Ruyang County. She is mainly responsible for compiling medical skills and pharmacopoeias."
"Oh? I see, but does she have the ability to cure diseases? She is also a rare person? And she and the chief are a perfect match. I think it is appropriate for her to marry the chief." Guan Tao is about to be a grandfather, so he is naturally not a fool. After hearing Ren Zuo's introduction, he immediately guessed some things. Although some things have not been officially announced, anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on.
The envoy of the Tang tribe is not only a delicate girl, but also has medical skills and is the next leader of the tribe. Now she lives in the home of the leader of the Han tribe and stays together all day. Is this even worth thinking about?
It seems that although the Han tribe is strong, it also needs some marriage methods to stabilize and expand the tribe. The leader is young and promising, so powerful, didn't he choose this peaceful method?
The method that the leader advocates, then I should learn it and promote the marriage between my daughter and the Ren family. It should be okay, right?
Marriage is very beneficial to the consolidation and strengthening of the relationship between clans and families. After all, any kind of alliance relationship and interest relationship is not as stable as the relationship between relatives through marriage. After all, after getting married, the two families have descendants of the same blood, and they are a family.
Guan Tao made plans in his heart, and then listened to Ren Zuo's introduction of those photos.
"It's not easy for us to guess the family affairs of the leader." Ren Zuo responded embarrassedly, motioning Guan Tao to change the subject, and then took out other photos to introduce to Guan Tao.
"Uncle Guan, please look, this is the government building in our Hanyang County. This building is built on a platform, with a brick and wood structure, five stories high, with dozens of large and small halls and rooms. The doors and windows are all installed with transparent glass, just like the doors and windows of our leader's house. It can block wind and rain, and you can see things through the glass. It's very magical. Oh, this glass is the layer of cover on the outside of the lanterns we use. You have seen it.
And the city of Ruyang County, the tower is solid and tall, the city is very prosperous, the streets and houses are everywhere, and the city has more than 10,000 residents. It is the largest single city among our eight northern counties.
There is also the dock of Liuyang County. Uncle Guan, look at how many sailboats are docked at the dock. These ships will be loaded here. Unloading cargo, oh, by the way, look at the several piers here, this is the special pier of our Liuyang Shipyard, which is usually used to outfit sailboats.
Almost all the ships of our Han tribe are built here. It is the largest shipyard in the Han tribe. The hull and shell will be built in the shipyard first, and then they will be launched and towed to the pier for outfitting.
This outfitting is equivalent to the decoration in the later stage of building a house. The mast must be inserted into the hull, the pulley must be installed, and the sail must be hung, otherwise it will not be able to move by itself. "
Ren Zuo Taotao introduced the characteristics of the eight counties of Hanyang. Another prosperous and advanced world was recorded in each photo. The exquisite photos with every detail seemed to bring the father and daughter into this beautiful world.
"Uncle Guan, this is the dock of our Weishan County. Weishan County is located in the north of Liuyang County. It is an important cargo dock that mainly transports coal and steel. It is also the county with the most sorghum among the eight northern counties. It is best at making sugar and brewing wine. This is the birthplace of the Han tribe's sugar-making technology and the only place that can make distiller's yeast and brew fine wine.
At the pier, there is also the first lighthouse of the Han tribe, named Morning Star Lighthouse, which is specially used to guide the direction of ships at night. There is a spotlight room on the top of the lighthouse. Every night, the lights will be lit, and the radiated white light can shine dozens of miles away, which can guide the direction of ships in the surrounding rivers and lakes.
Here is a photo of the factory building of Xingang County, which is where the Han tribe produces iron. Xingang County has a population of tens of thousands, responsible for mining and iron smelting. No one in the county farms, and they can support their families and live a rich life just by earning wages from work. "
Guan Tao was shocked again after hearing the introduction. The Han tribe was so rich and powerful that they could concentrate so many laborers to mine ore and smelt steel. With so many people used in smelting steel, it means that even if these people are not used to farm, the Han tribe can still provide them with food and cloth for food and clothing. This alone can prove the strength of the Han tribe.
Ren Zuo took out photos of Muye County, Nanzhang County, and Dongxin County, and introduced the main outputs of several counties, as well as the population size, so that Guan Tao had a preliminary concept of the eight northern counties of the Han tribe, and knew that this was the basic foundation for maintaining the strength of the Han tribe.
These eight counties are close together, with fertile arable land that can produce endless food, rock salt, no shortage of necessities of life, and mineral deposits, providing the Han tribe with a strong foundation for conquering the world . There was steel, forests and swamps, which provided the Han tribe with sailboats capable of long expeditions, and even pastures, which provided the Han tribe with draft animals and meat. Basically, everything a tribe needed and everything that could make it stronger was available here.
It was with this basic base that the Han tribe was able to open up so much territory and absorb more people. Not only did it extend its tentacles to the end of the Liuyang River and occupy the coastal area, it also crossed the sea to occupy their Bamboo Island, which has now become the Han tribe's six counties in Qiongzhou.
The Han tribe relied on the advantages of sailboats and the abundance of salt and iron to occupy half of the grassland in one fell swoop, and incorporated the land with abundant water and grass into its territory, providing the Han tribe with a steady supply of meat and draft animals, and also formed a dumping ground for agricultural products, where the products produced by its people could be sold continuously. Constantly sell to the nomadic tribes on the grassland, so as to make the people rich, not only have enough food and clothing, but also have some extra money in their hands, so that they can do what they want, such as spending money to go to the photo studio to take a few photos as a souvenir.
If you can't even get enough to eat, who has the spare money to watch this pastime
. After introducing the overall profile of the eight northern counties of the Han tribe, Ren Zuo showed Guan Tao some photos of their own homes and photos of relatives. These photos taken by the common people can most intuitively reflect the living conditions of the people in the Han tribe.
What kind of houses they live in, what kind of clothes they wear, what kind of meals they eat at home, what kind of livestock they raise, and what kind of labor they usually do, all these can be reflected in the photos.
These things are what Guan Tao has always admired . The life of the people in the photos is unimaginable before, but in this era, it can be regarded as a well-off family. No matter how many people there are in the family, there will be no shortage of food, and everyone has clothes to wear.
Children on the street play games in groups, kicking football, skipping rope, throwing sandbags, and playing chess, which are the most common entertainment games. There are even some teenagers joining in.
This alone can prove the prosperity of the Han tribe.
Nonsense, there is still free time to play games, no endless work, no need to worry about daily meals, and there is still the mind to entertain.
What kind of fairy life is this?
Only in a prosperous era can there be a developed entertainment industry. Although the Han tribe cannot be called a prosperous era at present, there are still conditions for children to play games without restraint. Doesn’t this show the strength of the Han tribe?
(4/4, see you tomorrow)
