Chapter 296: Cooperation (1)
"Zheng Gongzi, under my persuasion, two more old fellows have agreed to cooperate with you, there will be herdsmen who will drive the sheep here, Lord Tang just rest assured that the wool is collected, they will never stop it, you see..."
Sulut stood beside Zhiwen cautiously, with a flattering face, and said, Zhiwen at this moment in his eyes is not only a big gold lord who is braving golden light, but also a dangerous king of Hades, so he has to be treated carefully.
In order to speed up the cooperation with the herdsmen of the Sunit Left Banner, Zhiwen also promised that the herdsmen who have cooperated will be rewarded with 100 catties of grain as long as they persuade each person.
Since then, Surut has spared no effort to persuade other herders to cooperate with Zhiwen, on the condition that they will announce in public that they will not interfere with the herdsmen's own handling of wool, and that each herdsman will receive more or less food according to the size of his flock.
Within a few days, the scale of sheep shearing was even greater than before, and Surut played a great role in this.
Not only that, some of Sunit's internal information, especially those that are difficult for Eugugh and others to know, Surut took the initiative to inquire and told Zhiwen, including the news that Tangith left the tribe, which is also the reason why Zhiwen dared to be unscrupulous and rapidly expand the scale after having Sulut's support.
Most of the other shepherds were not as strong as Surut, and their hearts were uneven, so it was difficult to twist into a rope to deal with Zhiwen and Sulut, and they were soon dragged into the water by Surut.
Sulut was so active in helping that even Zhiwen was surprised, he thought it was the credit of the 100 catties of food reward, but Tang Hezhi, who had insight into the world, thought that this was only one of the reasons.
The more important reason is that Zhiwen intentionally revealed to him that Tang Hezhi and Tanghis could not cooperate, and Surut was the first great shepherd to openly cooperate with Zhiwen, if he didn't form the same front with others as soon as possible, how could he confront Tanghis after returning to the tribe.
Of course, in order not to make the shepherds dissatisfied, the details of the previous preparations for cooperation with Tangith were not known to Surut, otherwise they would not only hate Tanghis for letting go of such a good cooperation condition in vain, but also resentful because of the current little profit.
Another point involves the psychological problems of ordinary people.
Although 5,000 catties of grain a year is an extra income for the herdsmen, and some people think it is good, but it is inevitable that some people think that it is not cost-effective, thinking that Surut picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons.
If you want not to be considered an idiot, the best way is, of course, to pull everyone into the water, so that no one can say anyone.
This is Zhiwen himself figured out, he also studied psychology in later life, this kind of psychology is a bit similar to the Stockholm effect, also known as the hostage complex, in short, the kidnapped hostage, will inexplicably have a sense of dependence on the kidnapper, and even help the kidnapper in turn a psychological effect.
Zhiwen looked at the emu grid beside Sulut, and the emu ge hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Qi Yu Gongzi, what Lord Sulut said is true, those two adults have already made it clear in front of the shepherds who herd sheep for them, and the sheared wool will be handled by the herdsmen themselves, and they will not interfere." ”
Although they are in the same tribe, Sulut didn't know Umug before, and at most he felt unsightly, but it was only after Zhiwen installed Umug beside him in the name of an assistant that Sulut knew that Umug was a Sunit, and he had to admire Zhiwen's means of attracting people.
Named an assistant, Umug actually followed Surut primarily to verify the number of shepherds he had persuaded and to act as an overseer.
Zhiwen nodded, "Brother Tang, please record Lord Sulut's account, he has two hundred catties of extra grain, Wu Muge, you tell Brother Tang the names of those two adults." ”
So far, the grain for Surut and others has not been cashed, and it is all recorded in the accounts.
The grain in the grain cart is used to exchange wool with the herdsmen, and at the end of the day, there will not be too much grain to be exchanged, plus Zhiwen can also secretly replenish the grain, even if all the wool in Sunit Left Banner is replaced, it is no problem.
But if the grain of Surut and others is cashed in now, then it will not be enough to empty the grain carts in broad daylight, and how can they continue to trade with the herdsmen in the future? Unless Zhiwen is willing to expose his secrets.
At the beginning, Zhiwen didn't think about showing a "miracle" in front of these people, "out of thin air" to conjure up the grain in the system warehouse, not only to solve the problem, but also to shock them to the ground, maybe even become his own fanatical believers.
However, after some careful consideration, Zhiwen still dispelled this idea.
It's easy to perform "miracles", and it's not hard to get people to believe in them fanatically, but the trouble is the impact of it.
Now the beliefs of the herdsmen outside the Saiwai are somewhat mixed, Chahar and the tribes to the west, most of them have converted to Tibetan Buddhism, from the Sunit to the east, there are those who believe in Buddhism under the influence of this, such as Surut believes in the living Buddha, his beloved son is named Baoyin, which means "blessing", and is also influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.
There are also those who still uphold the tradition and believe in Tengger or Immortality.
If Zhiwen made the Sunit tribe his followers in this way, he would inevitably have a conflict with these sects, and it would be unwise to set up such a strong enemy under the premise of his own strength.
And in the Guannai, the environment of the Ming Dynasty did not allow Zhiwen to appear as a god.
Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the White Lotus Sect to start his family, but after the founding of the country, the entire Ming generation vigorously suppressed the folk churches, and the scholars who controlled the temples and public opinion, as well as the businessmen who held money bags, also supported this, and regarded the folk churches as evil and foreign ways.
After all, the civil church is a destabilizing factor that prevents them from exercising authority and earning money.
Even if Zhiwen is only a god stick outside the fortress, it will inevitably spread to the Guannai, once he is regarded as an evil demon, the trade of the Zhuolu Trading Company will be difficult to move an inch, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Lin Yuan still has a lot of food there, so let him transport some over, there is no need to show his hole card.
Therefore, Zhiwen still asked Tang Hezhi to send people back to Dalintai, and asked Lin Yuan to send someone to escort a batch of grain north to Sunit, and the grain paid to Sulut and others was temporarily advanced from this batch of grain, and Zhiwen would supply Lin Yuan afterwards.
Now, in the absence of Don Keis, it is the right thing to collect more wool.
As for these shepherds, it is better to hang their appetites, so that they may be forced to stand against Dunkeis, lest they take the grain and pretend to be turtles with shrunken heads.
Tang Hezhi, who was on the side, heard Zhiwen's command, answered, and quickly wrote and drew on a notebook with a brush in his hand.
Sulut poked his head and looked at it, although he didn't know Chinese characters at all, and he didn't know what Tang Hezhi wrote, but his face still smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he bowed his hand, "Thank you Zheng Gongzi." ”
