Let's take the one you gave birth to and make it bigger. However, if Sister Wan Snow came back, she is a few years older than me, will I have to wait for many years to regenerate?"
See her face show frightened of color, I say: "which have you say of so troublesome, later we can ask a person to help us take."
"That too." Zhang Yutong nodded.
She took Lucie's hand and told her that from this day forward she must concentrate on saving the baby and that nothing should go wrong. He said he would take good care of her.
Lucie was so moved by this that she burst into tears.
We spent some time with Lucie in the morning, and towards noon, when the chiefs of kingdoms and tribes and those who could read and write began to arrive, I arranged for them to be met and lodges given to them.
By dinnertime, there were still three people missing. So we had to put off the dinner again and again. When the moon rose, they did not come. Many Kings and chiefs turned pale with hunger.
"The three of them won't make it tonight, chief." A little king got up and said.
"Where are they all locked up?" The island was divided into dozens of pieces, and I had no way of remembering their names and territories.
"Two Kings and chiefs live not far apart, except king Tammy. I don t know why he hasn t come yet. "He replied.
"I sent for an announcement last night. Surely a day is enough to get here?"
Everyone nodded.
"Let's have dinner, then, and we'll have a meeting afterwards without waiting for the three." I waved my hand.
When the meal was served, everyone greeted each other warmly. Since there was no wine, they could only drink some fresh juice.
After dinner, we rushed to the hall, where the meeting was held. I explained my plans and plans one by one.
Then I offered them some watermelons to digest my words.
"Chief." The King stood up and said, "I think all your rules and measures are perfect, except for one thing."
"Tell all you know, just tell it. Whatever you say here today will not be punished." I made a sign saying please.
"Be." He nodded: "The salary system, so that all of us here can have a fixed income. But chief, you are our common chief, how can you limit your expenses to your income, and five hundred dollars is too little. You deserve the highest income."
"Yes, chief, we are all a thousand, eight hundred. Five hundred dollars is too little." Another sheik rose to his feet.
"All three of us get paid." I explained, "And since there are only three of us, we have enough money to live on. You're different. You both have families, and you'll be in trouble if you don't have enough money."
"The leader should have more than we do." "Insisted the King of Tinya.
I pressed my hand and let him sit down, glancing at everyone.
"That's settled about the salary. Let's not discuss it again. What do you think of envoys and inspectors?"
"Chief." A king rose and bowed. "There are more than thirty of us in our family. May I send my son to The island of Cuckoo as a messenger? It's also a way for my family to earn extra income, otherwise it would be difficult to support such a large family."
"Can your son read?"
"Will..." He promised, "My five sons and three daughters can read."
"All right, choose one of your sons and one of your daughters, and I'll make arrangements for them."
At the beginning, others made similar requests, all wanting an extra share or two.
I answered them all. In the end, only the chieftains were left, because they had been slaves and no one could read. No one is capable of acting as an emissary or inspector.
I propose a solution to this, by marrying the sons of the king into the sons of the chieftain, so that part of the king's family can become the chieftain's.
None of the Kings responded, and for them, it was a shame to marry a slave.
After a long time, a chief stood up and said, "Chief, can you open a school for us? Let our children learn how to read."
"Yes, but it will take time. We can't wait until your people can read before we introduce a new system."
For a moment there was complete silence.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to adopt the method of inducement.
"Well, the first ten kingdoms that marry a chieftain will receive a prize of five hundred dollars. After that, nothing."
"Chief." A king quickly came out, pointed to a chieftains and said, "I will give my daughter to the Jabbes."
The chieftain, called Fold, was so excited that he rushed to salute the king and thanked the master of the house.
This shows that this man, Fold, was a former slave of the king's family, and trusted the king deeply. The king thought there were two reasons for this move. One was for money, and the other was to strengthen his power by drawing on their former master-servant relationship.
With my permission, several Kings chose chieftains to marry to them. But with many tribes and few kingdoms, it was necessary for a king to marry several chieftains at once. But the imbalance of the family's population, and the inherent class sentiment, made many Kings unwilling to make further concessions, even with 500 coppers to offer.
At last, after a long time, a young man appeared, saluted, and introduced himself as a commoner of some kingdom, but literate, and of his own free will in the family of some chiefdom.
With my permission, I brought out those who were not of the king's family and encouraged them to marry with the chiefs. Thus all questions of marriage were settled.
Having registered Lucie, I gave them a week to settle their marriage, and a week later, I will return to Cuckoo island with this group of men.
It was late in the evening when the meeting broke up. The three men still did not come. That's to be expected. Although they did not dare to openly confront me, but there are always a few die-hards, will adopt a negative attitude, to express my protest.
For Lucie was pregnant, and when they returned to their rooms, they slept peacefully.
As she closed her eyes, Lucie asked softly, "Husband, are you really going to kill someone tomorrow?"
"Or what? These people need one more shock and kill the boss before they can move the others to Cuckoo Island."
"Though a little cruel." Lucie said, "But I see more and more of you as a leader."
"Nothing like a leader, only hardened." In the final analysis, but black face thick heart four words.
"Go to sleep. You need more rest."
Lucie said, kissed me and snuggled in my arms.
When I got up in the morning, Zhang Yutong pulled me to the place where no one was mysterious and asked me whether I had fun with Lucie last night.
"What are you talking about? She's pregnant. I couldn't be so careless."
"That's good." Zhang Yutong nodded: "fundamentally I want to accompany you, but yun Na has been sticking with me, and so we go back to the cucu island."
"You think too much. I'm not a stallion. I don't have that much physical need."
Zhang Yutong hee hee smile, gather together to my ear to say, tonight she will let Li Yunna accompany luci in the past, I can sleep with her at night.
I did not talk much to her, as I had to discuss the road and the posting-house. After breakfast, let Li Yunna accompany Luci, I took Zhang Yutong to the partial hall.
Everyone was already waiting there. After greeting each other, I asked someone to bring a map and we discussed the road route to design out. Then he asked Old Cheng to copy dozens of maps so that everyone could have a reference when they went back to work on the road.
With roads, it was much easier to set up stations, for the islands were not very large. Some kingdoms and tribes didn't need stations at all, and some were only three stations apart. But what we're going to do is we're going to move the traffic around the island, and we're going to set up stations every ten kilometers, by mileage. The frequency is extremely high.
It only takes half a day to reach the other side of the island.
After everything was discussed, I handed out the change I had brought. He promised to pay them monthly wages to build roads and post stations.
Just as the meeting was about to break up, someone from outside announced that a king and chief had arrived.
"Let them in." Said, I looked at Zhang Yutong one eye.
