Chapter 1406: Arabian Storm (Seventy-Seven)

"Your Excellency the Governor, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with us. We are very grateful for this, and thank you so much. ”

With the shock and feeling of the concession, the thirteen tribal leaders finally came to the governor's palace, and then met Ma Bond.

As soon as they met, Omar expressed his gratitude and gratitude to Ma Bond on behalf of the big guys.

Although Ma Bond was not busy, there was no trouble in meeting these tribal leaders. But Ma Bond will not say this explicitly, and no one will sue SΓΉ Omar about it.

If they want to think so, then let them think so.

It's not a bad thing anyway.

Marbond smiled and accepted Omar's thanks and small compliments, and had no intention of explaining.

"It's so infuriating, it's nothing too much trouble. Now you're from the Empire, so we're a family, aren't we? β€œ

Chief Omar didn't take Marbond's words seriously.

But they can still hear the angry words or something.

Later, Ma Bond arranged them in the conference room, and then followed him.

Ma Bond's secretaries began to instruct the staff below to get busy, and set up tea and snacks in the conference room.

After all, the leaders of the thirteen tribes could not sit in Ma Bangde's office, so they could only be arranged in the conference room.

Besides, Ma Bond also understands that these people must have something to solve when they come to him. Then it will definitely not be possible to solve their affairs in half the time, so they can only arrange to go to the conference room.

The conference room has an area of about 200 square meters, which is very spacious and bright.

The secretary led Chief Omar and the others, arranged to sit down one by one, and then Ma Bond walked directly to the main seat to stand.

"Guys, we don't have to be so polite. Or just get straight to the point. There are still a lot of problems in your tribe that you need to solve, so we don't want to waste precious time, right? ”

Ma Bond is so direct, but he has an appetite for big guys.

In fact, these Bedouin chiefs are also very tired of this hypocritical politeness.

However, the Cumans were originally ruled by the Ottomans, and the Ottomans did things like this.

Therefore, these people will inevitably be contaminated with some such bad habits.

Now the Bedouins have taken refuge in the Song Empire, which looks different from the Ottomans in style, and is very much appreciated by these chiefs.

on this. The chiefs, of course, were secretly overjoyed.

"As long as we obey the wishes of the Governor, we also like such a direct and simple way."

Omar looked left and right at the others, then nodded to Marbond in response.

Listening to Chief Omar's words, Ma Bond smiled and stood there and spoke, "Everyone has come to me this time, and I think there must be a problem that I need to help you solve. Then let's be more direct, everyone can tell me if you have any difficulties, and then I will find a way to solve it for you. As long as it's within my ability, I'll definitely solve it for everyone. But if it's beyond my power, then I'll give you a confession here. There's nothing I can do. β€œ

Ma Bond told the truth, what he could do within his ability, of course, he would solve it for the big guys.

Of course, if it's something outside of Ma Bond's ability. Then you can't help it.

This is also a warning to these chiefs, don't do something beyond his ability, he can't do it.

The Omar chiefs listened to this. They are also very understanding.

Moreover, what Ma Bond said so directly and calmly made them feel a lot more relieved.

If Marbond brags. It's all about it, but they won't be at ease.

It is precisely because of Ma Bond's directness that he seems to be very sincere, and he can lead the leaders to have a good sense.

In addition, they also appreciate Ma Bond a lot more.

Moreover, they all secretly compared some of the things they had seen with the Ottomans and other things they had seen in their hearts.

The big guys have found that the people of the Ottomans and the Song Empire are really incomparable.

Of course, now that they are in contact with the rules of Ma Bond and the Song Empire, this is just a very one-sided point. After all, this is only a concession outside the Americas mainland, and it is impossible for Omar and them to understand what the real Song Empire of the Americas is like.

And what they call Ma Bond is only on the friendly side.

That's why they have such a good impression of Ma Bond and the empire.

But anyway, if you have a good impression of the empire, then assimilating them in the future will also be of great help, won't it?

If Ma Bond had known, he would have died of laughter.

"Then I'll start with that."

Chief Omar was the first to open his mouth and open the conversation.

The other chiefs did not react with any dissatisfaction.

Chief Omar sat in his place and turned to look at Ma Bond, who was standing on the throne.

"Our Bagir tribe does not lack anything now, and the food and some daily necessities you provide are enough for the people of our tribe to live for three months. Here, I would like to express once again my gratitude and that of my people. β€œ

Chief Omar bowed slightly, saluting Ma Bond.

"Although the food you provided saved us from the danger of starvation, after all, these foods have also been eaten one day, so will we continue to let you provide them when the time comes?"

Chief Omar's expression at this time gradually became stern.

"What is this saying, you are already considered to be from the Empire, so making sure that you have enough food is also what I should do."

As soon as Chief Omar's words fell, Ma Bond hurriedly took over.

Although Ma Bond's real inner thoughts were not like this, he had to say so at this time.

However, Ma Bond had almost guessed the intentions of some of these people, and was secretly happy in his heart.

There are some things that would have been better if the Bedouins had brought them up themselves.

This is fundamentally different from what Marbond proposed for the Bedouins to do.

After all. The Bedouins were the first to propose that it was of their own free will. And if Ma Bond brought it up, it would be like some kind of food or something.

As for what Ma Bond is pleased with, Chief Omar will reveal next.

"That being said, but we also know a truth, and that is how much effort you make. Although the empire we have taken refuge in is considered an empire person. But enjoying the things of the empire in vain, our hearts will also be uneasy. β€œ

Chief Omar's face was stern and serious.

"This matter, if it were our Bajir tribe, would not be as kind to the tribe as the empire for the vassals. So. Thinking about it like this, I don't think we can enjoy this kind of help with such peace of mind, or at least contribute to the Empire. β€œ

Ha ha! That's what you say and what you mean!

Ma Bond's face didn't react much, but his heart was already very happy.

"I'm not alone, we guys basically think like this."

As soon as Chief Omar's words fell, the chiefs who came with him began to echo each other.

"Not bad! We all think like this, taking the food of the empire and those things for nothing, our hearts are not steady. ”

"We Bedouins don't have such habits. We want to be able to do what we can, and not enjoy the things of the empire like this. ”

It seems that Omar is not wrong at all, and everyone thinks like this.

Ma Bond observed. Judging from the expressions on everyone's faces, it seemed that what they said was true.

It's a pity that judging from the expression on the face, it is unreliable after all.

Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts. God knows what they say, but what they actually think in their hearts.

However, there is a more than 60% probability. That's what these people say.

There's a good chance that it's true.

Moreover, these people have now been settled on the land purchased by the concession, and they will not have any unusual thoughts. Then just listen to these words for the time being, and then look at their table.

No one knew that Ma Bond's heart quickly turned around with many thoughts and ideas.

"Everyone's words, I really don't know how to say it. In fact, these things are what I should do, after all, you have chosen to take refuge in the empire, so I can't chill everyone's hearts, can I? ”

Ma Bond said hypocritically.

"Please think about it, so that we can also contribute to the Empire. Otherwise, we really won't be able to enjoy any more food and supplies. ”

Chief Omar stood up, his tone serious.

"Yes, yes, please consider it, Your Excellency."

In fact, Chief Omar and his party came to see Ma Bond for this matter.

It's not that their tribe is in trouble.

After migrating to this area, Ma Bond quickly expanded the concession and purchased one million acres of land to settle the thirteen tribes.

In addition, a large amount of food was also provided, as well as some daily necessities to the thirteen tribes.

It can be said that after the Thirteen Tribes settled down, there were no more problems and difficulties.

The reason why they came to Ma Bond now was to be able to get Ma Bond's recognition as much as possible, and to make themselves look useful.

As Omar said, they need to prove that they are useful, and not eat and drink waste for nothing.

If anyone really thinks that they can enjoy the qiΔ“ provided by Ma Bond with peace of mind, then he is really an idiot.

"Good! Since everyone says so, it would be a bit impersonal for me to refuse again. Then I'll give you a solution. ”

Omar's intentions have already shown that this is exactly what Ma Bond wants.

After some pretentious excuses, Ma Bond agreed.

This is of great benefit to both the Mabond and the Concession, as well as to the Bedouins.

Therefore, after guessing the other party's intention at the beginning, Ma Bond actually didn't plan to really push it away...... (To be continued......)
