Chapter 128: The Benefits of Power

Together with Fang An, Yu Xiaotian received the visitors one by one, accepted various gifts from them, and informed the stewards of the immigrant villages of the purpose of their trip.

Yu Xiaotian and Fang An didn't talk to them sloppily, and said it clearly, that is, from now on, their sea wolves will enter this area, establish an order belonging to the sea wolves here, and require the local immigrant villages to be under the control of the sea wolves from now on.

The sea wolves will provide them with all the supplies they need, trade fairly with them, and protect them from future attacks by pirates or local natives.

But in return, these migrant villages must accept their management, pay various taxes to the sea wolf, and contribute labor according to the sea wolf's requirements to help the sea wolf build the walled city, and at the same time accept the sea wolf's dispatch to organize the villagers to participate in the invasion of the local natives.

Speaking of the conditions is very simple, that is, from now on, the Tamsui River Valley will no longer be a terra nullius, and he Yu Xiaotian and the sea wolf will become the new masters of this area, and the mountains and rivers here will be branded as the sea wolf from now on.

As soon as these words came out, these old immigrants were shocked, because they knew the identity of the sea wolf, the sea wolf was not an official identity, nor was it assigned by the Ming Dynasty, their identity was a pirate, and this group of pirates had a very big appetite, and they actually wanted to swallow the entire northern part of Taiyuan Island and become the jurisdiction of their sea wolf.

And what kind of virtue are pirates in their impression, of course they have an account, these people are greedy, murderous, bloody and cruel, scraping the ground everywhere they pass, such a group of people come here to control them, their good life may be over.

As a result, most of the immigrant stewards, after listening to Yu Xiaotian and Fang An finish talking about their conditions, had uncertain expressions on their faces, and sat there silently for a long time.

Yu Xiaotian looked at the patriarchs and stewards of these immigrants, and smiled indifferently: "You must think that Yu must be a greedy person!"

Yes, Yu does not deny that he was born as a pirate, and if you say something unpleasant, in your eyes, I am a widow! But you remember, I, Yu Xiaotian, am by no means a widow, I am a decent Han Chinese! And born as a Han person, died as a Han ghost!

Since I fell into the sea as a thief, I firmly believe that there is a way to steal, and I am also from a poor family (this guy has indeed been poorer in later generations!). Hey! I know that it is not easy for you to survive.

So you can rest assured that after someone comes here, I will not extort money from you, or even kill innocents and oppress the good, as you think!

If you are interested, you can now go to my Nanri Island and see how the life of the civilians under my jurisdiction is doing, and you will know that Yu is right!

It just so happens that I can't stay here for long this time, so you can choose one of the villagers and go with me to Nanri Island, and let them see how I behave with someone! Yu swore by the head of the person that I would send a ship to send them back here in a month, and I would not harm them!

Though my coming here may have increased your burden in your eyes, you will henceforth pay me taxes and labor to help me in my work.

But there are always two sides to things, and you can also think about it, and Yu will bring great benefits to you when he comes here! ”

At this time, a middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Benefits? So please tell me what benefits you can bring us here? ”

Yu glanced at the sturdy middle-aged man, nodded and said, "Good question!" If I'm not mistaken, you should be Chen Peng from Chen Zhai! ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he seemed to regret jumping out a little, and his momentum suddenly weakened, and after swallowing and spitting, he hugged his fists and said: "Yu Da has a good memory!" It is under that. ”

Yu Xiaotian smiled and nodded to signal Chen Peng to sit down, and then said, "I appreciate Brother Chen's courage!" Very good! This is a man! You don't have to worry, I'm not so careful! Hehe!

What you're asking is exactly what I'm trying to say, what good can I do for you by coming here? It's actually quite simple.

Let's talk about the most immediate thing! You've been here for seven or eight years, and I'm afraid it's been about two years at the shortest!

What have you been living all these years? Except for the little things you brought, you are here to cultivate and weave yourself, and it seems that you are free, but is life really good?

You don't even have a few decent pots, and the farm tools are even more broken, and there is no place to repair them, and there is no place to buy them, although Majiabao used to have merchants who regularly came to trade with you, but the price you have to pay is so high, and the things you get are so small, don't I say that you don't know?

The Ma family used to collude with profiteers to profit from you, a hoe requires two deer skins, one stone of brown rice can be exchanged, an iron pot can be exchanged for four deer skins, and a cheapest linen cloth, you also need to use a few deer skins or a large amount of grain in exchange.

But after I come here, you don't have to be bullied and exploited like this, I can trade with you fairly, Ming people don't do dark things, since I trade with you, I will definitely make a profit, but I will set a price that makes you feel fair to meet your needs!

You have actually felt this before, and I won't tell you that the things supplied by Caojia Village were sent by my sea wolf, and the price is compared to the price you came to Majiabao before, you know it yourself!

And once I come here, the price of the things I will give you will be lower, and you will no longer have to worry about lack of clothes, farm tools and daily necessities!

And when what you get is given to me, I will also give you a better price, so that you can get more benefits!

That's the bare minimum! ”

After Yu Xiaotian said this, he stopped talking, took a sip of water, glanced at the few people in charge of the immigrant village present, and saw that there were expressions of agreement on their faces, and some people were nodding secretly.

Yu Xiaotian put down the tea bowl and continued: "Let me ask you, you have been here for so long, do you know why you have not been able to develop for a long time? All of them are only cultivating a small piece of land, but they dare not expand their cultivation outward? ”

Chen Peng immediately replied: "This is simple, it is not because of those natives, they are waiting around us, and they attack us from time to time, we dare not leave the village far away without permission, when we are farming outside the village, we will be killed by them if we are not careful!"

Moreover, in our villages, we have limited manpower, so we can only stare at it but have no choice! ”

Yu Xiaotian then nodded and said, "That's right! But you know only one and you don't know the other! That is, you have never had any contact with each other, and even you yourself covet each other's territory, and there is no effective cooperation at all!

Think about it, how can you rely on your own village to confront the natives of the surrounding indigenous tribes? So for so many years, you can only stay in a small place, and you dare not go too far from the village to expand your farming!

Now that I'm here, it's been so much easier! For I can provide you with protection so that you may expand your fields!

I can establish an order to manage all your immigrants, and to bring together your forces to fight against the natives, so what's so terrible about the natives? If you want more farmland, what can't you do?

If you are not under my control, you will still be scattered and fighting on your own, don't look at you still here to survive, but have you not been worried that one day if you are not careful, you may be wiped out by the natives?

I'm here, and that's what you get the most out of it, because I have much more force than you, and I can protect you! Isn't that enough? When Yu Xiaotian said this, he suddenly slapped the table, shaking the tea bowls on the table and jumping up.

Yu Xiaotian suddenly raised his voice, slammed the table again, and jumped up in shock to the few immigrants who came over, bowing their heads and bending down one by one.

In fact, Yu Xiaotian said a very simple truth, that is, order! In any place, there needs an order, even if the person who establishes this order is a bastard, but at least it is better than no order, every immigrant village has a steward or patriarch, that is, they have established their own order in their immigrant village, but this order is limited to their own narrow circle, so they can only use their limited strength to protect themselves.

And Yu Xiaotian is strong to settle here, but he can integrate the strength of the villages here, plus his own force, naturally can unite these immigrants and make them exert greater strength, this reason is very simple, once explained, even a pig can think about the benefits.

So the stewards of these immigrant villages all understood what Yu Xiaotian meant, and thought about it carefully, it made sense, they had always thought that the emperor was far away here, there was no fraud from the government, and they could live a more leisurely and comfortable life, but the difficulty of surviving here made them feel bitter and self-aware, what Yu Xiaotian said today, let them also feel that there is really a need for someone to take care of it here, and take them to do something.

"Since I'm here, I don't plan to go again in the future, there are many wastelands here, and I will immigrate here in large numbers in the future, only when there are more people from the land, this place will become more and more prosperous, more and more lively, and you can live better and better, unless you are content with the status quo and feel that you are already very satisfied with eating and waiting for death here, otherwise you should welcome my arrival, because I can bring you more benefits!

But I, Yu, also hope that you can understand a truth, I am here, I represent power, you must listen to me!

Although I insist on stealing and having a way, it does not mean that I am a soft-hearted person, I am destined to be not a soft-hearted person in this line of work, if anyone is not willing to accept the order I give you, then what is the result?

I can make it clear to you that I will not allow anyone who does not accept my control to remain here and cause trouble for me right under my nose!

Lin Jia Village will be the first target for me to deal with, because when I sent people to inform them to come here to discuss this matter, instead of agreeing to come, they spoke ill of each other and fired arrows to try to injure my men!

Tomorrow you can come with me to watch the battle! Let me also show you the means of me! ”

Yu Xiaotian spoke to these people again, and finally suddenly mentioned a village of Linjia Village.

(Today's big seal, the cold wind will not break its promise, and today the three watches will repay you brothers!) The first is to support genuine reading and give them a space to survive! Thanks a lot! )
