C1058 The colonial character of the Chinese people (2/2)

They watched helplessly as all the useless things that the Chinese had stored up were loaded onto the boat, and barrels after buckets of fine wine, iron tools, bags of rice and wheat, and live piglets and chickens and ducks were transported to the Chinese villages.

Of course, there were also the Gun s and steel sabers that made the natives tremble in fear. They had all suffered losses under the Gun s of the Europeans before, and now, seeing these things, they could not help but tremble in fear.

From that moment on, the hunters learned how to store and what was called commodities. For the first time, they had the notion of surplus products in their hearts. They also knew that surplus products could be exchanged for other products.

With the tools, the Chinese quickened their pace to reform the Dahuangdi. They opened the mountain and blew up the rocks. They expanded the pier and built the permanent stone bridge.

The stonemasons all started to carve the words ”Dahuangdi of China” on top of the stone tablets. On the back of the stone tablets were carved the words ”Xiao Letian's glorious achievement”.

If a piece of land was erected on the ground, another piece would be buried on the ground. Regardless of who this island belonged to, in the eyes of these Chinese, these islands were all theirs, and all of them belonged to their Prime Minister.

The stone tablet was not worth much, but with these things, they could go and fight with the Western Powers. In any case, the islands on the South Pacific were in a demilitarized state, as long as you do not place the stone tablet on the land of New Zealand and Australia, no one would care about what the Chinese people were doing.

Xiao Letian was like a thief who had laid out the arrangement in the South Pacific. Under the astonished gazes of countless natives, he placed all of the boundary tablets belonging to the Chinese on the island one by one.

Tahiti, Cook Islands, Social Islands, Tuamotu Islands … Even the Fiji Islands, thousands of kilometers to the west, had been buried by the Chinese.

As the days passed, Chinese immigrants traded delicacies, handicrafts, ironware, and natives for various kinds of pearls, corals, and seafood. After some simple processing, they sold them to regular Chinese merchant ships in exchange for more and more supplies.

Until now, the total number of Chinese in the Dahuangdi had already exceeded three thousand, and there were even six fast triangular sailboats. It could be seen how profitable the Ocean trade was.

The five elders faced the Northwest Ryukyu and kowtowed as they said sincerely, ”This is all thanks to the Prime Minister's good fortune. If not for him sparing no effort to promote us, our Dahuangdi's goods would not have been sold for such a high price!”

”I heard the captain of the merchant ship say that the Prime Minister had once brought out Dahuangdi's special ingredients for praise more than once at a banquet! Our black pearls, corals, and all kinds of dried seafood have become the essential delicacies for the Prime Minister! ”

”The things that the Prime Minister agreed upon must be good. Our Dahuangdi's products are usually selling at twice the price of similar goods in other places, and there's still a demand for them even though there's a demand for them … General! ”This time, when you return home, you must bring the Prime Minister some gifts. Just say that on the pirates thousands of miles away, we are still praying for him!”

Finished speaking, the five Elders were so excited that tears flowed from their eyes.

Xiang Ying, on the other hand, was extremely shocked by the plain story. A layman should know the truth of the matter from watching the show.

This represented a completely different kind of Eastern colonial philosophy! That's right, the westerner brought swords, spears and scriptures with them to enslave those backward races. Those who disobeyed were all killed.

Only the Chinese would use this kind of gentle and gentle rule like the terrazzo to slowly change these primitive peoples! This was the Prime Minister's greatness. In the era of colonization, with tens of thousands of horses, at least Xiao Letian still retained a trace of the warmth of humanity.
