PFC Chapter 768 Newton's coffin.
Chapter 768 Newton's coffin.
Ye Kun didn't believe it and said with a smile: "I don't think it's possible for it to suck me in from ten steps away. Otherwise, even Newton's coffin lid wouldn't be able to hold it down."
Ye Kun doesn't really believe in supernatural things.
Just believe in the physical laws of this world.
Wen Axiu was curious: "Your Majesty, who is Newton?"
"It's... a friend of mine. I deduced the law of universal gravitation together with him." Ye Kun chuckled.
As he was speaking, the giant python in the rainforest was approaching quickly.
Ye Kun could see the python clearly without a telescope, and could even see the horns on its head.
Lu Kaijiang became nervous and shouted, "The python has entered the range, get ready to shoot!"
Dozens of musketeers raised their guns and waited for orders.
"Shoot!" Lu Kaijiang gave the order decisively.
Bang bang bang!
Shots were fired at random, and the bullets shot into the rainforest with a whistling sound.
The python immediately realized the power of hot weapons, and began to twist wildly as it was shot again and again.
The thick tail swept everywhere, directly chopping off the trees around it.
In the rainforest, sand and rocks are flying, and wood chips are flying into the air.
Lu Kaijiang yelled, "Shoot! Don't stop until the magazine is empty!"
Dozens of muskets had their magazines emptied.
With the truth in hand, you are invincible.
The python was shot with hundreds of bullets and finally lost its temper, but it was still twitching in pain.
He Liqing and the other three clan leaders were amazed and even more afraid of Ye Kun.
Ye Kun turned around and smiled: "He Liqing, I didn't lie to you, even if this python was ten times bigger, I could still kill it."
He Liqing nodded repeatedly: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is omnipotent, just like a god."
Ye Kun laughed out loud and accepted He Liqing's flattery.
Gradually, the python finally died.
Hundreds of natives walked over together, tied the python with a rope, and dragged it out with great effort.
Then the dissection began, dividing the meat on the spot.
Pythons are also prey for the indigenous people and one of their sources of meat.
He Liqing personally sawed off the python's horns and presented them to Ye Kun:
"Your Majesty, the scent of the python can repel mosquitoes with the best effect. Take this snake horn home and place it in your house, and there will never be flies or mosquitoes."
The interpreter also nodded: "He Liqing is right. The horns and bones of pythons can repel insects and mosquitoes."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Come here, cut the horns in half and divide them equally among everyone. Each person can wear one piece on their body to prevent mosquito bites. Take out the snake bones and make them into jewelry to wear on the body."
Since there is such a natural mosquito repellent, Ye Kun naturally cannot let it go.
Lu Kaijiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since snake bones and snake skin can repel mosquitoes, we can unite with the He Liqing tribe and kill more pythons."
Ye Kun nodded and asked the interpreter to discuss it with He Liqing.
Ye Kun said that everyone joined together to hunt pythons, and they did not want the meat, but only the snake bones and skin.
He Liqing was also very happy and said that he only wanted meat.
Wen Axiu said: "In the rainforest, the danger is unpredictable. I suggest that everyone act on both sides of the canal to ensure safety."
Lu Kaijiang smiled and said, "We have grenades. We can think of a way to make an explosive device and let the python swallow it, and then implode. This is very safe and the snake skin can be kept intact."
Ye Kun said: "We can also buy the snake skins and bones of the indigenous people through trade."
He Liqing called the other three clan leaders to sit together with Ye Kun to discuss how they should get along with each other in the future.
Ye Kun gave a large number of gifts and told the three clan leaders:
"We need some young indigenous women here to help with the work. If the girls from your area are willing to marry a Han Chinese as a concubine, we will give them many gifts as a betrothal gift."
The indigenous chief was so fond of the porcelain bowls that Ye Kun brought that he said he would need eight porcelain bowls as a gift before he could marry an indigenous girl.
Ye Kun was very generous and said immediately: "We will give you ten porcelain bowls and an iron pot!"
The natives do not bear grudges.
So many people died in the battle yesterday, and now he is drinking and chatting happily with Ye Kun.
Ye Kun stayed on Datang Island for several months and completed the infrastructure construction.
There are several salt fields on the seashore, and the production of refined salt is enough to feed 300,000 people. If they can't finish it, they will exchange it with the natives for prey, fruits, snake skins and bones;
The output of crude salt is even greater, and it is spread along the banks of the canal and in the rainforest for weed control.
Combined with fire and logging, the sides of the canal became wider and wider, and gravel roads were built along the riverbanks.
Brick kiln factories, pottery factories, and wood factories were all built and began stable production.
More than a dozen large farms have recruited local indigenous people to work to ensure food production and reserves.
He Liqing and other clan leaders envied the clean and sanitary life in Jiangjun City, and they all applied to Ye Kun, hoping to move into the city with their clansmen.
Ye Kun refused and only allowed a few clan leaders to move in.
Other indigenous people could only build new villages outside the city to accommodate them.
In early August, Ye Kun was finally about to leave Datang Island.
Before leaving, Ye Kun called Qiao Yun and others to have dinner together.
Qiao Yun said, "Your Majesty, this place is far away from China. What if someone is dissatisfied with the Ninth and Tenth Princes and rebels here? What should we do?"
Many of the immigrants on the island were exiled corrupt officials and bandits.
These guys were exiled and were full of resentment.
"Don't worry, no one will rebel."
Ye Kun smiled: "Only food, meat, salt, sugarcane and sugar can be self-sufficient on Datang Island now. Everything else depends on the supply from China. Without a large amount of supplies, it would be difficult for everyone to survive, let alone live well.
All the people on the island rely on the Ninth and Tenth Princes for supplies, so who would dare to rebel? Besides, the Chinese navy fleet is coming over, and even if someone rebels, we can quickly put it down in less than ten days. "
Lu Kaijiang said with a smile: "The military power on the island is in the hands of the Ninth and Tenth Princes. Those who don't obey will be eliminated directly!"
The Ninth Prince was very confident and said with a fist:
"Don't worry, Father. There are 20,000 to 30,000 immigrants on the island and more than 100,000 natives. We can still manage this population well."
Since landing on the island, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince have also participated in battles and construction, and have established their prestige.
Ye Kun nodded, feeling quite emotional:
"The future development of Datang Island depends on you brothers. You must achieve self-sufficiency as soon as possible and adapt to the environment here. You can't rely on China for supplies all your life.
After one or two years, when you have settled down, you will have to trade to obtain the materials you need. Because the court's overseas investment cannot be permanent and unlimited."
The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince nodded together.
The next morning, Ye Kun led the team back to Dasong Island.
Ye Pingsheng and Ye Dongsheng have been managing Dasong Island for several months, and Ye Kun wants to go and see their progress.
Two days later, we returned to Dasong Island.
Ma Jiaojiao took Ye Pingsheng and Ye Dongsheng and waited at the port.
Ye Kun got off the boat, took Ma Jiaojiao's hand, and said with a smile: "It's been a few months since we last met. Your Majesty, you look very good. It seems that you have adapted to the environment here."
