Let's go back to the moment when Zhao Weiji left the Indian team, and see what this prince did after leaving.

After he left the group, he returned to the town hall and continued to deal with the unfinished business. Then he received reports of Indians selling their wares in the downtown but no one cared about them.

It turned out that Zhao Weiji did not completely let these Indians go unpunished, and while ordering Snow to act as a translator and guide, he also sent people to keep an eye on them, and he had to come back to report any trouble.

This news alone did not attract too much attention from Zhao Weiji, because the outcome of this kind of thing had already been expected.

So Zhao Weiji continued his work until he heard that the Indians had purchased a number of cotton clothes from the silk village, Zhao Weiji finally felt that he had heard useful news, so he stopped what he was doing, called all the bigwigs together, and then had a meeting.

During the gathering of the big guys, the follow-up stories kept coming. So when everyone gathered, everyone got the news that the Indians were shopping in the city.

"I think the prince didn't just call us here, it's just for the sake of the production capacity in our city, and sell it at a good price to that group of natives."

Jiang Yu, who has been with Zhao Weiji for the longest time, can best understand Zhao Weiji's thoughts, and he knows that if all the bigwigs are called for a meeting, the things discussed will definitely not be simple.

"I think you've seen that the products in our city are quite attractive to these natives, and I wonder if we can use these things to attract these people to our rule?"

Zhao Weiji did not hide his plan from everyone, he planned to turn these Indians into the labor force of Xinhua City.

"Lord Wang, will it be risky to do this, after all, my clan will have a different heart." Yuan Geng raised his concerns.

"I think I can give it a try, after all, our Han people in the Central Plains have also experienced such things as the Xiongnu being attached and Xianbei changing their surnames. Judging from the prince's description of these natives, I think they should be inferior to ethnic minorities like the Xiongnu Xianbei. Many of these minorities are now integrated into the Han Chinese, and I think it would be feasible for us to take them in. Ling Huhuang expressed his opinion.

Ling Huhuang's opinion is still agreed by many people, after all, the Li Tang royal family has Hu blood, and Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty in the later five generations, is also a Hu person.

Even none of you here dare to say that you have pure so-called Han blood.

"Okay, I admit that Yao Ri's words make sense, it is indeed possible for our Han orthodox culture to change these natives, but I think it is not an easy thing, and I hope that the prince will make it clear what to do in this first step."

"In fact, the first step is very simple, that is, to make these natives dependent on the products in our Xinhua City."

"Dependency?" Others don't quite understand what this new term is.

"Dependence means that they have a kind of dependence on our property, and they will have a very uncomfortable life without our property, so they must often come to Xinhua City to purchase property."

At this time, Wang Dayuan spoke: "Is this possible?" Didn't they also have a good time before they met us? ”

"It's certainly possible, let me give you a simple example. Huanzhang: Do you think today's new ships are easy to use? ”

"Of course it works."

"Would you like to let you change back to the old ship?"

"Who wants to use the old one if there is a new one that is easy to use."

"But didn't you go to sea with the old one before you drove the new one?"

Having said that, Wang Dayuan has fully understood what dependence is, and he himself is now dependent on a new ship like the Poseidon, and now if he is allowed to change back to the old ship to go to sea, even if it is just a casual stroll around the Central Plains or the waters around Xinhua City, he will feel that the old ship has all kinds of problems.

At the same time, others have also found the same problem from themselves, and now there are many technological changes in Xinhuacheng because of Zhao Weiji's opening, and these new technologies have brought convenience to life while making them dependent.

Seeing the expressions of everyone present, Zhao Weiji knew that they had already seen the dependence on themselves through Wang Dayuan's example.

"I think you've fully understood the problem of dependency, and you already know what happened to the natives in the city today. Our things are so much superior to theirs, and once they accept and start using our things, there will inevitably be dependency.

And our things are not something they can easily imitate and produce, and if they want to continue to use our things, there is no other way than to buy them in Xinhua City. ”

The reason why Zhao Weiji is so confident is precisely because he clearly knows what kind of backward situation these Indians are in, and they are at least dozens of centuries behind the current Xinhua City.

"But my lord, even if they have a very strong dependence on our things, it doesn't mean that they will definitely become the people under our rule, they can always buy it with gold."

"It's very true, they can always buy with gold, and there is no need to accept our rule. But don't forget that one of the biggest questions is, where does the gold come from? ”

"The gold is dug out of the mines."

"That's true, but do you think there are open-pit gold mines around Xinhua City for these natives to dig into?"

This sentence can be regarded as stopping Dongfang Li, because he is a miner, he knows too well that the open-pit gold mine near here has already been collected, and the reason why there is still a steady stream of gold ore being produced is because Zhao Weiji made a steam engine and pumped water through the steam engine, so that the miners could dig deeper into the gold mine.

If it weren't for the appearance of Zhao Weiji, even civilizations like the Great Song Dynasty could only use their brains on surface and shallow mineral deposits. Not to mention the natives who can't even make iron.

"I think I have already understood, in fact, there is no gold mine for those natives to mine around this Xinhua City, and even if there is, it has been occupied by us, and I think you here will not agree with them to dig our mine."

Everyone nodded, how could their own gold mine be dug by outsiders. And now Xinhua City is not afraid of these natives to rob by force. After all, you have to be too much stronger in terms of equipment alone.

"Since they don't have a new source of gold, and if they want to continue to buy things in Xinhua City, finding a way to earn new gold is the only way out."

When Zhao Weiji said this, Jiang Yu already knew Zhao Weiji's general situation, so he took the words: "And the only way to earn gold is to find a way to live in our Xinhua City, only in this way can we earn gold."

Since they want to come to Xinhua City to find a job, they must act according to our rules, and even have to learn our language and customs.

I think in the long run, he will be part of our people and be one of them. ”

"I agree with Brother Wuji's words, the prince once said that they may be Chinese relics, since they are Chinese relics, they should look similar to us. Once they speak the same language as us and wear the same clothes. If they also accept the thoughts of Sage Kong, they will be no different from us, which means that they will naturally become us. ”

The thought of being able to civilize a group of natives made Ling Huhuang a little excited.

But there is always someone who wants to say something that is uninteresting, and this time that person is Yang Hua.

"Everyone's right, but why should we bring these people under the rule of Xinhua City?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Jiang Yu and Ling Hu Huang were choked enough, and we were all busy just now.

But before the two of them could speak, Yuan Geng spoke first: "It seems that Zhongding thinks that he has enough manpower, so when those natives start to find work to do, don't rob me of people, I want all those people." ”

Yuan Geng's words fully reveal why Zhao Weiji did everything possible to deceive those Indians into Xinhua City, or because of insufficient labor.

The development of Xinhua City is now far beyond the original expectations, and the labor force is always in a state of shortage, no matter how Zhao Weiji immigrated from all over the world, the labor force is still insufficient.

Nowadays, if you can trick the Indians into becoming laborers, it is the best way, after all, there are countless Indians living on the North American continent, as long as the first success is achieved, more tribes can be attracted through this tribe to migrate to this area, so as to wipe them out.

In this way, coupled with the possible follow-up Central Plains immigrants in the future, Xinhua City will be able to develop more rapidly in a short period of time.

Because Zhao Weiji knew that Zhao Guangyi was not far from death, as long as Zhao Guangyi died, the new successor Zhao Heng would definitely need an adaptation period.

During this period, if the strength of Xinhua City is strong enough, Zhao Weiji can completely carry out some counter-infiltration of the Central Plains, so as to lay the foundation for the future return.

There is also a more important point that there is not much time left before the Battle of Lanyuan, and Zhao Weiji wants to be able to form an army with muskets and artillery before the Battle of Lanyuan.

As a result, he was able to smoothly return to the Central Plains with his forces through the Battle of Lanyuan, laying the foundation for himself to be able to seize the throne in the future.

However, all of this requires a large population, so it is necessary to absorb the Indian population.

"Don't be Longping, you don't know, I've expanded the scale recently, and the manpower is when it's tight, don't rob me."

Yang Hua's words caused laughter, and at this time, everyone knew that Yang Hua finally understood why he was doing this.

At this time, the reporter came again, this time saying that Snow had already taken people to Dongfang Li's restaurant.

"Let's go, unknown. Come with me, distinguished guests come, it's not appropriate for you, the owner of the restaurant, not to show up. ”

So Zhao Weiji and Dongfang Li took their entourage to the restaurant and began to prepare to fool people.
