Chapter 232: Long Xiang

"Congratulations, Tumku is willing to recognize you as Lord, yes/no?"

As soon as Ye Feng said his plan, Tumuku bowed his head, he was suddenly confused, could it be that he had finally awakened the legendary king's spirit?

Although when he made this plan, Ye Feng planned to find a way to subdue Tumuku in the future, but he didn't expect things to be so simple.

However, the system prompted that it could not be faked, and he immediately chose to accept it.

"Congratulations, the Tumuku has been added to your command, and the details can be viewed in the properties panel."

Open the system panel, and the third name appears in the [Subordinates] column.

Tumku Library

Identity: Hu Nationality Wanderer

Class: Fighter

Rank: 3rd Tier, 36th Tier

Skill: [Beginner Riding]

Loyalty: 75%

After reading Ye Feng, he breathed a sigh of relief, generally speaking, if the loyalty reaches 80%, he will basically not betray, and the initial loyalty of 75% is already very high, so it can basically be determined that Tumuku is truly convinced.

Seeing Ye Feng's doubts, Tumuku immediately said: "The lord should know that I have half Han blood, and my ancestor Meng Li was originally a merchant in Bian County, Luguo, Yuzhou.

When I came to Youzhou to do business, I was taken into slavery by the Hu people who went south, and I was born to a Hu woman.

My father always wanted to return to his hometown before his death, and gave me a Han name - Meng Yuan, the word Silu.

Later, I left the original tribe with a few friends who were also reluctant to participate in the raids, and in the past ten years, it has grown to its current size, and it is getting closer and closer to the Han Dynasty.

I hope to fulfill my father's last wish and return to my homeland in his place. ”

Ye Feng saw a strong desire and firm belief in his eyes.

"It doesn't seem that I have awakened the spirit of the king." Ye Feng thought with regret.

The reason why Tumuku or Meng Yuan recognized him as the master must have seen the hope of fulfilling his father's last wish.

This purposeful allegiance made Ye Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

Although there were no restrictions on the movement of the Han people in the Han Dynasty, the Hu people were obviously different from the Han people in appearance.

Appearing in the territory of the dynasty will always be concerned, and it is very difficult for a mixed-race child like Tumuku, who has obvious Hu characteristics, to return to his hometown and become naturalized.

So he needs to find a strong backer, obviously he thinks that Ye Feng meets this condition, and can even let him go back with glory.

Ye Feng immediately promised: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to achieve this wish within ten years!"

A few years later, the Han Dynasty will exist in name only, and even if it does not occupy Bian County of Lu State, it will be able to do this at a small price.

Sure enough, Tumuku immediately bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you, my lord, my subordinates are willing to smear their livers and brains!"

Ye Feng found that his loyalty had increased to 80%, and generally speaking, except for the capricious villain, there was no need to worry too much about his betrayal.

"Please give the name of the new tribe!" Tumuku felt full of energy.

"Since ancient times, there has been a legend of the dragon in China, and this tribe will be the second hometown of the Han people on the grassland." Ye Feng thought.

Since this is the case, he immediately clapped his hand and said, "Let's call it 'Long Xiang'!"

'Longxiang' is homophonic to 'Longxiang', which is the name of a war horse, which is very in line with the way the Hu tribe is named.

"Longxiang tribe, good name! Long Xiang, the god horse also. Rest assured, I will live up to the name of Longxiang! Tumuku looked excited, he felt that this was Ye Feng's high hopes for him.

Ye Feng waved his hand: "The next step is to expand the scale of the tribe, so that we can accept more Han people."

Tumuku felt that he had to start showing his value: "There are three small tribes like us within a few dozen miles of the neighborhood, and I am sure to persuade them to join."

"How many people are there?" Ye Feng asked.

"With our current tribe, there should be about three hundred people," he said.

"Can you guarantee their loyalty?" This is the most important thing, if someone reports to other Hu tribes, the Longxiang tribe will eventually face the encirclement and suppression of the entire Hu tribe.

Tumuku shook his head: "It's hard. But as long as there is enough food to survive the winter, I believe that no one will ruin this life. ”

Ye Feng heard his careful thoughts, it was nothing more than wanting to beg for enough food, and he was not disgusted by this.

However, Ye Feng did not intend to provide it to them for free: "According to the market of the Han Dynasty, an adult sheep is generally worth eight hundred copper coins, and an adult farming cow is generally worth two thousand copper coins, and now the price of grain has risen to five copper coins and two catties.

So I can provide you with food at this price, how? ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Tumku is grateful.

You must know that the price sold to the caravan in the past was only a quarter of what Ye Feng said, and the price of buying grain was also two or three times that of the Han Dynasty.

The difference between coming and going is more than ten times, so if it is not for the storage of food for the winter, this kind of trade is actually very uneconomical.

Not to mention that now that the two sides are at war, few caravans are coming again.

For many small tribes, how to survive this winter is the biggest test.

This is also the main reason why they responded to the big tribes to participate in the war, that is, they wanted to take the opportunity to plunder enough food.

"The subordinates will gather all the tribe members to announce the good news, and ask the lord to bear witness." Tumuku squirmed suddenly.

Ye Feng nodded: "No problem, you can go."

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Tumuku sounded a wooden drum wrapped in animal skins, and after a while, nearly a hundred people from the entire tribe gathered, and even the Han people who had been temporarily placed here by Ye Feng before walked out curiously.

"Today I have two important pieces of good news to announce. First of all, our tribe will be renamed the 'Longxiang' tribe! Tumku said impassionedly.

"Great, Long Xiang!" "Long Xiang!"

The people of the tribe were very excited, and seemed to think that the Longxiang tribe was particularly imposing.

After the excitement passed, Tumuku continued: "The second good news is that this lord from the Han Dynasty will buy our cattle and sheep at the price of 320 catties of grain for a sheep and 800 catties of grain for a cow, and we don't have to worry about running out of grain for the winter!"

With the simplest algorithm, selling four cows is enough for the entire tribe to eat for a month, and as long as you sell fifty cows a year, you will have no worries about food and clothing.

The whole tribe suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked incredulous, followed by enthusiastic cheers.

Looking at these people who were caught in the carnival, Ye Feng was quite emotional.

In fact, a small tribe like this has two or three hundred sheep and hundreds of cattle, and each person has an average wealth worth tens of thousands of copper coins, which is definitely a middle-class wealthy family in the Han Dynasty.

However, the lack of smooth trade has caused a serious depreciation of goods, and the food is completely dependent on imports, resulting in a low standard of living, so many Hu people are very eager to become Han people.

Ye Feng looked at the surrounding terrain and frowned, this place is open all around, and there is only a shallow stream, which is not suitable as a foundation for development, and must be relocated.

He found Tumku, who was preparing for the evening's celebration: "Is there a place near where mountains and water meet?"

Tumuku thought for a while: "Yes, there is, there is a wolf pan mountain more than a hundred kilometers away, and there is a small river next to it. But there was already a small, powerful tribe there, almost all of which were going to be medium-sized. ”
