After making arrangements in Luo Kingdom, Shenxi's team continued their journey.
During their journey to the beautiful New World, they encountered several waves of pirates, both large and small.
Of course, they were given a good beating, so bad that these pirates wished they had two more legs so they could run away faster.
The entire shipping route was cleared, and all the islands where a base could be established were marked.
In the future, these will be used as overseas bases, where people can be relocated to build facilities.
After months of sailing, they finally arrived at the New World.
Upon arriving on this new continent, Chenxi was utterly thrilled.
Most of this area is undeveloped virgin land, with only a small portion cultivated by locals.
The main reason is that there are many plains here, and far fewer mountains than in the Great Xin Dynasty.
The vast plains are truly ideal for growing crops.
Fang Chenyan walked in with a grave expression. "Your Majesty, many of the locals here have been infected with the epidemic."
According to the investigation, it was the immigrants who deliberately brought some felt contaminated with germs and sold it to the locals.
These felt blankets are very cheap.
Chen Xi was taken aback.
If memory serves me right, history seems to be repeating itself in some ways.
Different times and spaces, yet the events are so similar.
Perhaps this is human nature, something we cannot escape in any time or space.
Shenxi immediately ordered a thorough inspection and the burning of all the felt blankets carrying the germs.
All the items used by those patients were destroyed and burned.
Furthermore, arrest those colonists with malicious intentions.
Shenxi recalled that Xinsiding had mentioned that his durians were obtained from the colonists.
She summoned Xin Sihua.
When Xin Sihua heard that Chen Xi was calling him, she immediately dressed up in a glamorous and elegant manner.
Unfortunately, Shenxi was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice his change at all.
"New Silk Road, do you know about colonists?"
Xin Sihua was somewhat sullen when he noticed that Shenxi hadn't noticed his new attire, but Shenxi asking him questions proved that he wasn't useless.
His mood improved again. "Your Majesty, I know that the colonists are a diverse group. Some are criminals driven out of various countries, some are pirates, some are merchants, and some are people sent out to sea by certain countries specifically to find more opportunities to make money."
Very close.
The policies implemented in Shenxi were met with resistance from the locals, because they did not believe that the epidemics were brought by the colonists.
The colonists brought them inexpensive daily necessities and helped them cultivate the land and open up more tracts of land.
They rescued colonists who fell ill due to the change in environment or who were initially unskilled at farming and nearly starved to death.
Their relationship with the colonists was very close and friendly, with close communication between them.
Fang Chenyan was furious.
The locals actually used shamanistic rituals to drive away diseases and did not believe in his medical skills.
In his view, this epidemic is similar to smallpox, as Chenxi described it, and with vaccination and proper treatment, the vast majority of people can avoid dying.
"Then let them know the true face of colonists."
Shenxi sent people to guard the border between the two sides. Those who trusted her could come for treatment and receive basic living supplies.
If you don't trust them, let them go and perform their rituals.
Furthermore, those colonists who were arrested for spreading the disease were publicly interrogated so that the natives could hear them clearly.
These colonists confessed that they did so intentionally, hoping to reduce or eliminate the native population so they could seize the developed land resources.
Many locals then realized what was happening and turned to the people of Chenxi for treatment.
However, some of the more stubborn ones, and some who may have even reached some agreements with the colonists, are even more resistant to those who have been subdued in the river.
The vanguard troops that Deep Creek once sent were suppressed by these natives and colonists.
Chen Xi showed no mercy to these people and immediately drew his weapon.
Confucius said that the sword hanging at his waist was called "Li" (理, meaning principle).
When reasoning fails, draw your sword, give them a beating first, and then ask if they'll listen to reason.
It's obvious that if they don't listen, it means they have other interests to gain.
They beat them mercilessly until they were completely unable to fight back, and only then did they continue to reason with them.
For those with ulterior motives, who were once colonists but now join the locals in causing trouble, Chenxi is ruthless and simply eliminates them.
The epidemic was quickly brought under control, with a mortality rate of five percent, largely due to those who did not receive prompt and active treatment or who did not trust the treatment options.
After everything settled down, Shenxi began to slowly win over these local people.
She had everything that colonists could give.
He also led the locals to develop more land by using more advanced machinery.
Advanced technology, a wide variety of daily necessities, and affordable prices immediately attracted locals.
They had long forgotten the small benefits that the colonists had brought them.
Shenxi also relocated people from the Daxin Dynasty to this area to cultivate land and build a settlement.
Shenxi entrusted these matters entirely to Di Yingxue.
She needed to continue her voyage; it was time for her to return.
Chenxi sailed back again, taking a different route.
She has memories of the flight path from her previous life, and she even sent an advance team to go through it once, so there was basically no difference.
Along the way, they made contact with many tribes and countries, both large and small.
Those that can become bases will become bases; those that cannot, we will cooperate.
It's probably all the same routine: in every country they visit, they offer not only delicious food but also beautiful women.
Of course, the handsome man was given to Shenxi.
It's simply a collection of styles and charms.
Shenxi collected them all, but that was all; he would use them if he took them back.
