The banquet in Lingzhou ended quickly, but the impact of this banquet on the surrounding Baili was not small at all.

Some of the forty-two small tribes are composed of families with the same surname, some are composed of the same clan, and some are very chaotic and some people are grouped together to survive, although they are all different, but the same thing is that their number is not much, and those who can have two or three thousand people are considered to be slightly larger, but they must include the old and weak, women and children, and the smallest small tribe even has a population of only three or five hundred.

Because they don't want to be vassals of the big clans, but they don't get a fair chance to survive. Because in this grassland, since the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, only the weak and the strong are left.

Years of chaos, too much loss of strong labor, and lack of strength, coupled with a lack of knowledge, even have a hard time getting food, so their survival is difficult, it's a vicious circle.

Luo Kaixian did not see himself as a ruler on a high level, nor as a benefactor for the compassionate man, but as a trader, a trader who treated others equally.

For the sensitive and fragile small tribes, the high ruler is cruel, they cannot afford it, the compassionate benefactor cannot last long, even if they accept it, they can only benefit for a while, and an equal trader? It is precisely the need for them to stand up on their own strength, the opportunity to be able to survive, reproduce and even respect.

For the leaders who do not lack survival wisdom, they know better than anyone that the right one is the best, so the gathering convened by Luo Kaixian was very successful.

When the chiefs returned to their colonies, everything spread.

When this winter just came, except for some tribes with roots behind them or lazy people waiting for pies to fall from the sky, everyone near Lingzhou who had some scheming moved.

Some people are eager to exchange some needed materials as soon as possible, so they simply lead people to the place designated as a field in advance to help level the surface together, especially a few tribes with sufficient manpower but not wealthy, they lack more materials.

People who are accompanied by hard begging are often lazy people who can't stand the hardship, and only those who are self-reliant and self-reliant can be recognized by others, and Luo Kaixian is happy to see this kind of change happen.

Instead of rejecting someone from coming over to help, he started a mercenary deal with them in advance—something that the Lingzhou camp urgently needed at the moment.

For example, if there is a large amount of semi-dry pasture near a certain station, and people can be recruited to harvest it, and the people in the Lingzhou camp drive a four-wheeled cart to pull back the fodder for livestock, the price they need to pay is only a few hundred sickles and some pleasing scattered tools - these things really can't be simpler for the Lingzhou camp, which is dominated by craftsmen.

For example, recruiting nearby people to dig ore, including copper, iron, and coal mines, all you need to pay is tools and food, as well as some clothes and sundries that you can't use.

As soon as this kind of employment cooperation began, the exchanges between the Lingzhou camp and the surrounding tribes became lively.

A few days later, the demarcated land was leveled ahead of schedule. Taking advantage of the fact that the soil layer was not frozen, Luo Kaixian was in charge of planning, Li Zheng was the coordinator of the field, and a group of tribal people were the contractors, and it took a few days to build a whole row of stone houses made of broken stone on the edge of the leveled wasteland with dozens of acres.

These stone houses were made of rubble and moss-filled mud to fill the gaps, and the roofs were made of wooden beams and bundled thatch, and a clay stove was erected above the stove, which was erected as a chimney through the roof.

As for the function, it can be resident, warehouse, and of course, it is completely used as a resident store that can accommodate more than ten or twenty people for gatherings.

The new person in charge of the field is Li Zheng, a businessman who originally had his experience in Sylvan, so it is only fitting to put it here. Of course, it was not his responsibility to maintain the security of transactions in the market, and his duty was to draw up exchange rates, commonly known as pricing power, for various goods, which was not a simple task because there was no suitable currency to use as a standard.

Although the small tribesmen did not have enough food and clothing, they also had some miscellaneous things accumulated in their hands, such as animal skins that had not been tanned, herbs that had been kept for many years but did not know the purpose, and jade and agate that were not eaten or drunk properly...... Of course, the chiefs of the various tribes still had some materials, such as large pieces of wood to be used to prepare coffins in the future, various fabrics (linen and silk silk) that were traded with merchants, and gold and silver artifacts of unknown origin......

And they needed more goods, salt, food, iron, weapons, horses......

All of this requires Li Zheng to work out a relatively fair exchange rate, at least a ratio that is appropriate for all parties, because everything is just beginning, and any unfair trade can lead to misunderstandings and estrangement.

Luo Kai didn't have the patience to do this kind of thing at first, and he didn't know the price level of this land in this era. Of course, he doesn't need to deal with this kind of trivial matter personally, but he just sets a purpose, and someone will naturally grasp the rest.

At this point, his affairs began to get more complicated. It's not trivial, but it's starting to touch on every aspect.

The weather that began to get cold couldn't stop people's enthusiasm for work, and since the party, the disturbing things began to come to the door, and Luo someone's ears were not idle.

At the beginning of everything, it is unacceptable to grab the eyebrows and mustaches.

If you think about something in front of you, it will definitely delay time. Therefore, instead of being busy in the east and west, it is better to do the work in front of the outline.

Luo Kaixian is an efficient person, he positions himself as a general, specific and direct affairs is to formulate rules, all affairs have drawn up a complete set of procedures, and then the miscellaneous affairs are assigned to specific people to be responsible for implementation, as for whether the responsible person is competent, naturally there is a West Dec Nord of the Military Justice Department commanding the military police to keep an eye on it.

By the way, the eyes of the blue-eyed devil are really full of deterrence, at least no one in the Lingzhou camp dares to offend at will, and with the cooperation with the surrounding tribes, this prestige has also begun to spread.

In Luo someone's eyes, there is nothing difficult in this world, as long as you are willing to work hard.

There are as many as 140,000 people in the camp in Lingzhou, and the reason why it is orderly is completely honed along the way, and the small tribes nearby are scattered, but the total number is quite a lot, more than 80,000!

With so many loose tribes, co-ordination is a problem, but not a big deal. Luo Kaixian's rules are very simple, listen to me and follow me, plan the journey for you, you can exchange anything at the same price, everyone can live smoothly, and all you need to pay is some strength; If you don't want to accept it, we don't bother to pay attention to you, after a long time, you will always know who is good and who is bad; If you don't listen and ignore and want to cause trouble, then you can't help it, if you provoke us, it is light to break your hands and feet, there are a few poles erected outside the field, and the human head hanging on it is not fake, Luo someone will not become soft-hearted because he returns to his homeland.

In layman's terms, it is a slap to a sweet date, and the high-sounding is a combination of grace and power, nothing more.

It's been five days since he planned things overall, and Luo Kaixian has some spare time to be busy with some other things, such as the matter of formulating the marriage law as mentioned last time, and preparing for a group wedding for more than a thousand soldiers, fortunately, he doesn't need to be busy with these in person, as long as he gives a few words of advice, and occasionally has free time to ride a horse and look around.

Walking around the mines, I watched the people who were busy digging ore, the people who loaded and hauled the trucks, and the people who cleaned the roads...... The excited and somewhat unfamiliar faces made Luo Kaixian feel a sense of accomplishment.

Several ore sites are not big, in the shallow surface of the earth, do not need to dig holes to mine, although it is labor-saving, but there are also drawbacks, that is, the reserves are very general, the taste is not good, according to the insight of someone Luo, according to the current development prospects in the camp, iron ore and copper ore can at most meet the amount of the workshop for two or three years, coal reserves are slightly better, but it is not suitable for smelting.

Riding on horseback, Luo Kaixian let the duke wander around, thinking about things by himself.

The matter of prospecting is not a difficult thing, his spiritual power may come in handy, Xingzhou Ma is actually not worried, what Wang Cao is also difficult to pose a threat, if the scattered people in Lingzhou can be used, it is not impossible to spend a year to collect them, and then to speed up the development of themselves, the most important thing is to integrate the party within three years is the best.

Once the time drags on for a long time, the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of people in Lingzhou will slack off, and many things will not be under control at that time.

Looking at the busy people on the road before and after, Luo Kaixian was a little lucky, fortunately, the lives of the people here are not very stable, he only needs to work carefully, and he doesn't worry about people's hearts.

Because Luo Kaixian discovered that the local people in Lingzhou are very poor, but their hearts are basically very simple, and they may like to take advantage of small advantages and have some cunning, but it is human nature, and most of them follow the customs of the Han people of this era - whether they are of Han blood or not, they all believe in what they say, not full of deceit like the steppes of Central Asia.

Now he gave the people here a chance to trade fairly, and these people immediately grasped it, perhaps because of the pressure of survival, or because of the strict rules here, most of them worked diligently and diligently, and there was a little bit of stealing and trickery. Of course, Lingzhou's side should also pay for excellent tools, butter flatbread and a large pot of broth, and the extra food after a day's work can even be brought back to their relatives and children.

The people here are the most worthy of Luo Kaixian's attention, and the difference between them and later generations, it is the norm for people in this place to have a firewood knife pinned to their waists, and it is not unusual to carry a bow and arrow on their backs and hang an arrow bag, and occasionally meet a simple strong man with two axes stuck in his waist.

The occasional ferocity in a pair of simple eyes is by no means false, Luo Kai first saw it in his eyes but clearly in his heart, and secretly sighed that the people on this land and water are not the so-called obedient people in later generations, very good, very good!
