Chapter 584: Tribal Trade
After this battle, there will be no quiet in this land.
Li De believed that these were all temporary, and after the battle was over, the battlefield was cleaned up, and after the battle, Li De and the others returned to the barracks to continue the deployment and send scouts.
"Shi Huaiyi, Luo Song, you can't rest yet, take 30,000 soldiers and horses to continue the pursuit, and you can't let Tiele settle in any of the three tribes."
"Yes."
Shi Huaiyi and the troops and horses in Luo Song continued to pursue with their troops, with a clear purpose of driving Tiele out of this sphere of influence.
From seeing the appearance of the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Tiele, Li De had a new idea, since it is development, why not directly incorporate the three tribes, although their living customs are different, but this should not affect the continuation of a quiet life.
It does not affect the fact that they can reclaim the land and use agriculture as their main income, nor does it affect the opening of workshops here to retain their interests, but they must continue to live in accordance with the rules of Youzhou.
No one will refuse to have enough food and a comfortable life.
Li De can be taken for granted, even if there are dissatisfied, there are only a few people.
"Hebida, you have to work hard, since you have already had a war with Tieler, the affairs of the three tribes here must be dealt with as soon as possible, and the public opinion is important, see if they are willing to accept our protection."
"Yes, I'll do it."
Providing shelter for the three tribes is only a premise, and it is not ideal to directly and forcibly absorb these three tribes, and you can't be impatient, you can only do it slowly.
The will of the people always comes first.
After resting for the night, Hebida came to the tribe with 50,000 soldiers and horses to discuss with their leader about the next step of accepting the protection of the vanguards.
The chiefs of the tribes are most concerned with the interests of the respective tribes. He Bida spoke more directly, and gave them an explanation that they believed in the decrees of Youzhou.
"We don't have so many grain seeds, we are not good at farming, we are better at hunting and herding horses, cattle and sheep."
The leader of the tribe basically said this, it is not easy to make them change their good habits in life, and the conditions offered by Hebida are very tempting, that is, as Li De said, recruit people from the tribe to work in the workshop in exchange for money.
If you don't want to cultivate the land, you can continue to live a herding life, and you can also join the workshop or become a merchant, trading between tribes and outposts.
Furs, horses, cattle and sheep can be sold directly at the outpost, and the purchase price is definitely higher than that of Tieler.
If you want to move to the territory of the Sui and Sui Kingdoms, you can live in the sixteen states of Youji, there are a lot of fields there, as long as you join and work hard, you can live a better life than you have now.
He Bida gave painstaking explanations and persuasions to each tribe, and completed the task in a few days.
"The Metropolitan Governor and I have returned, and the three tribes are willing to accept our troops to take refuge, and they also have the same requirement not to harass their clansmen."
These things are small things for the vanguard, and it is the discipline of the vanguard not to disturb the local people.
"Then immediately open commerce and garrison troops in the three tribes." Li Dedao.
"Metropolitan Governor, in this way, our troops are scattered, and there are many people in the tribe, if the news of our garrison is leaked, I am afraid that there will be danger."
"It doesn't matter, the biggest implication of the three tribes is the Tiele tribe, as long as Tiele's soldiers and horses are driven away, it will be safe for the time being." Li Dedao.
"By the way, the statistics of the Tiele cavalry have come out, we have suffered a lot of casualties and horses, captured 8,000 people, nearly 30,000 horses, and a lot of armor......"
Li De talked about the statistics, and He Bida made an understanding that the income of 30,000 war horses can be at least one million income when they are exchanged for money.
"Metropolitan Governor, why haven't you seen Shi Huaiyi and Luo Song, haven't they come back yet?"
Li De nodded and said: "They have reached the sphere of influence of the Tiele tribe, after this battle, they will not have more than 50,000 soldiers and horses again, Shi Huaiyi and Luo Song and others want to weaken the enemy's strength even more, so I agree with them to continue fighting." ”
At this time, Li Jing's voice appeared, and then he was seen entering the door.
"Grand Duke, there's something new."
Li Jing came in and entered Hebida, the two greeted each other, and continued: "The tribe found in the west by the Dadu Governor Scout, numbering five or six thousand, seems to be a nomadic people. ”
Nomadism, this kind of Li De knows that there is no fixed place for their lives, as long as there is pasture they live wherever they go, and they may find them today and they will have left tomorrow.
These people were also important in order to expand the population, even if they could not adapt to farming at first, but they believed that they had a hand in raising horses.
"Send troops and horses to find out the details, if you can arrange them to the local tribe." Li Dedao.
Li Jing left in a hurry after answering, whether they wanted to or not, they would definitely stay, there was too much lack of people on the shore of the military city.
It is not a way to rely solely on the dispatch from Youzhou to do this, after all, the sixteen states of Youji also need population development.
A few days later, each of the three tribes had 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the vanguard of the three tribes had built a new barracks to house 30,000 men.
If necessary, they could take care of each other, and at the same time, they set up trading houses in each tribe, sold horses and other goods, and traded again, and then transported large quantities of grain from the castle.
If you want them to change their lifestyle, the best way is to get them used to eating rice and white noodles, and once they get used to it, their life naturally does not need to change, because they have already adapted.
Clearing the land, opening a fertilizer factory, these things are already being done.
Eight thousand Tiele became the main laborers, Li De did not treat them badly, he did not worry about eating and drinking every day, it was nothing more than that he needed them to do some work as a basis for food.
After a period of development, Li De and these people can be regarded as having a high prestige among the three tribes, and for those who are vain and comfortable, as long as they live a comfortable and peaceful life, they don't need to think too much about it at all.
The arrival of the pioneers brought them a comfortable life, so that they felt that it was enough, and that by hunting they could exchange more money and food than before, and many young men rushed to hunt.
There are also many people who choose to work in the workshop, and they are adapting to the habit of receiving monthly pay.
"The Governor has returned." Shi Huaiyi and Luo Song are back, and the two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, and their beards have grown a lot, which makes people look more mature and stable.
"It's good to come back safely, you've worked hard."
"Battlefield conquest is our duty, and the big leader of the Tiele tribe wants to negotiate peace with us." Shi Huaiyi began to talk about serious things.
