"Chiba, what is the situation in the northern northern country?" Since you are going, you must be well prepared.
"The Northland is currently the most liberal tribe on the entire continent, and since it was founded at the beginning of the last sacrifice, it is also the only place where there is no slave trade"
"No slave trade? And not without slaves? Jiang Zi, who was present, asked, questioning his statement.
Li Yue proposed a business plan to several leaders, and asked them all to get together to discuss, regarding the identity of Chiba, Li Yue had already vaccinated the leaders in advance, and also told others his original intentions.
This business is very important, whether it is the leader of the tribe of beasts or the people, they must let go of their prejudices.
After learning his identity, Jiang Zi didn't have a strange opinion, so that Chiba was not so ugly, he nodded and replied: "Yes, there is no trade, but there are slaves"
"Oh, that's not very peaceful, hehe, I guess it's the same as your beast tribe," cocked his beard on the side.
"This north is indeed much better than the west" Chiba is not annoyed, an objective evaluation.
"Okay, Qiao, let Chiba continue" Li Yue interrupted Qiao's unrelenting words and said to Chiba: "What is the northern country like now, and what is the attitude of your uncle and your mother?" β
"According to what my uncle told me before, and from what we know, there is nothing special about the northern country, but their structure is different from ours"
Shi Li: "What's the difference?" β
Chiba: "In the west, the beast tribe is the strongest tribe, but he has shortcomings, the whole tribe is full of brave warriors, the slightest sign of weakness will be kicked out of the beast tribe, which produces more adverse events, internal contradictions and riots, and the surrounding more than 10 big tribes, just afraid of the beast tribe, so on the surface is to obey the beast tribe, but in private it is with the beast tribe to contain each other, according to what I heard before, the beast tribe has a way to build a house, I know my father, He is definitely going to build more, and the warriors below him will definitely build more, and the manpower to build for them will definitely be asked for from the big tribes, and the big tribes will order the middle tribes, and then squeeze the small tribes and slaves, obviously, this kind of exploitation has been counterattacked, and the logarithms of those tribes that have escaped should belong to the direct management of the big tribes, which has violated the interests of the two, if this situation happens again, it is very likely that the big tribes will unite against the beast tribes, This kind of martial arts system is too easy to overturn! And the system in the north is different from that in the west."
Chiba drank his saliva and continued: "The northern kingdom is not respected by a tribe, it is dominated by the will of the leader's temple, and the leader is located in one place alone. It is served by the tribes that have served for generations, and the rest of the tribes do not need to provide supplies to the chief, so the leaders of the various tribes in the north are free, and this system appears, and there is no leader in the north to dominate, and everyone is fine."
"You say that the chiefs of the northern kingdoms are for people to see? Nothing right? Li Yue yearns for this method, but feels that it is too mysterious.
"The only right of the chiefs is to send troops against foreign enemies and to punish the faulty tribes."
Oh, this socialism is very harmonious, no wonder those who fled want to go to the Northland.
But...... Are these people really so well-behaved? Li Yue was deeply skeptical.
"Hehe, that's so well said, not every tribe has slave exploitation down there"
"Indeed, as long as you don't do anything that harms the northern country, the tribes below will not be sanctioned."
"Sanctions?"
"The sanctioned tribes will never be blessed by sacrifices, and they will enter the caverns of the temple"
"What's that?"
"I don't know, but it's a place to get rid of their troubles."
Li Yue sighed twice in his heart, such a model can only say that the person who establishes the rules is just a fake good person who has nothing to do with himself.
This kind of way is a bit like brainwashing, and it has deterrent power, Li Yue doesn't like it very much, but it is indeed a good way to manage.
"Then about your uncle"
"My uncle is a kind man"
Everyone waited for a while, but before Chiba could finish, they asked, "It's gone?" β
"Yes, I've only seen him once, and according to the fact that nothing major has happened in the north for so many years, he should be a kind person"
Are there any doubts about such a person? The tribe with the largest number of people is actually a person with a pure heart.
It's just that Li Yue is more curious about their choice of leader.
"The leaders are all descended from the sacrificial lineage, whether they are born to women or men, as long as they are glued to the bloodline, they can be elected as the leaders"
"How to choose?" By voting?
"There's a kind of water in that temple where the leader lives, and as long as someone can become a leader, the temple will come out."
"Hasn't anyone else tried?"
Chiba was asked by Li Yue, thinking about the deep meaning of this question: "Not necessarily, but I haven't heard of it"
Li Yue became more and more curious about this northern country. It seems that doing business can be preferred here, and if there are good goods, someone must compete to be rare.
"Are there any others?" Midori had heard some rumors about the northern kingdom before, and she didn't know if this Chiba would hide it from them.
"Yes, that's my mother, it seems to be upsetting the balance of the northern kingdom"
"Your mother? What does she want to do? That's what Lu Ying heard.
Chiba sighed: "She wants to compete with my uncle for the position of leader"
"Aren't you chosen?"
"Yes, but now that slaves have surfaced, in the north, many people's minds have changed, especially my mother."
"It seems that the laws of survival in your west have awakened your mother"
Chiba shook her head: "But what she is doing, what she has done, I don't know"
"We've heard a little bit about this," Lu Ying said on the side.
"What's the matter?"
"That woman wants to trade something called gold for the chiefs' supplies and build another temple!"
"Gold?" Li Yue stood up violently, has anyone in this world broken the barter mode with precious metals anymore?
Li Yue: "Lu Ying, what else do you know?"
Lu Ying was surprised by Li Yue's excitement: "No"
The gold exchange, which appears at this time, is very suitable for destroying the west. But for their tribe, it is not necessarily a good thing, it depends on how to set this price to be reasonable.
And Li Yue is not short of gold, in the Stone Tribe, Li Yue has already dug up these precious metals.
Chiba's mother, an ambitious woman and a pure-hearted uncle, remains to be confirmed.
"Chiba, I hope the next leader in the west is a member of the Ji tribe!" Li Yue solemnly announced to Chiba.
Chiba Daiki! The sacrifice gave him peace of mind, and he was very willing to obey Li Yue's meaning, and he: "Always listen to your dispatch"
Shi Li, Lu Ying, Jiang Zi, Liuli, and Da Zhuang on the side were all shocked.
It was Qiao and Tuyuan who said: What kind of dumb riddle are they playing, how do they feel very powerful.
Next, Li Yue had to personally make proofs for the pioneer goods.
This time, I was carrying goods, so I couldn't go alone like before.
This time, Li Yue decided to pull the cavalry out to slip away, which was also an idea to deter others from gathering tribes casually.
By the way, it's good to pull the goods out.
"Knights! It's time to show off the results of your training! Ready to get started? β
"Ready, Lord Sacrifice!" The knights replied to Li Yue in a uniform manner.
The Order had a total of 120 men, half of the female and half of the male knights, all fully armed.
Everyone is wearing rattan armor from bottom to top, very disciplined, so that at a glance, it is an elite army, not Li Yuechui, this team looks better than a group of warriors!
"Lord Sacrifice, the people from the Little Tree Tribe are here!" The fast tanuki ran to inform Li Yue.
"Huh? Are they willing to join? Li Yue guessed.
"I don't know, but there are a lot of people!"
"Let's goβlet's take a look!"
Time 1 month ago.
After the Ji tribe successfully transplanted the tree, several people from the Little Tree tribe embarked on the road back to the tribe.
Unlike the hard work they had before they came, they were now dressed in three clothes, the innermost one was a cotton base layer, the middle was a woolen sweater, the outside was heavy fur, a headband, leather gloves on their hands, and rubber boots on their feet.
Everyone carried a large basket of things on their backs, and it was full of all kinds of tribal things.
Even the weapons they use are iron tools made for them by the Ji tribe.
"Book, you said that the leader will not join the Ji tribe?"
"Definitely! Look at us, when we go back to the tribe, we have to envy us! β
"That's right, at this time in previous years, our tribe should still be hiding in a cave to escape the cold."
"Yes, I don't dare to go out, now that I have this dress, I don't feel cold at all"
"Haha, speaking of the cave, it's still the fire kang and floor heating of the Ji tribe that are really hot," several people began to recall all kinds of winter things of the Ji tribe.
"And the ...... of food" in winter is not only good to dress and live well, but also to eat well!
"That is, when we see the leader, we must step up to convince them."
"That's right! "The rest of the people agree.
Because it was winter, the people who patrolled the tribe outside were all warriors, and from a distance, the tribesmen were now only wrapped in a large piece of fur on their torsos, and in order to run, they only tied a piece of fur to their calves, and their feet were bare.
"You, you're ferns? Are you back? The warrior on the other side couldn't believe it when he saw them, these were his people.
"Corgi! I haven't seen you in a long time! β
They saw that the clansmen had obvious chilblains on their faces and hands, which was really too different from their own, and apparently the other party also saw it, and he asked very eagerly: "Where did you get all this on your body!" It's also great."
The two teams stood together and contrasted fiercely.
"Let's go! Let's go back and say, 'Where is the chief?' We had to talk to him beforehand."
The training warrior put his arm on the shoulder: "Good! Come with us"
Seeing the leader in the cave, several warriors who had returned from the Ji tribe felt extremely unaccustomed to the smell and hygiene of the cave.
How is there food scraps everywhere? These are the best fertilizers for crops.
Why does this smell of wafting excrement smell so big? This is one of the main causes of spreading diseases, and they should be carried out and manure in one place.
Everybody's sleeping with their heads covered? You should get up and do your work, and only when you have work can you have the meaning of life - only then can you have a glorious title!
At this moment, they don't know when they can't see this kind of life anymore.
After seeing their expressions clearly, the grass and trees on the side came over and reminded: "The leader is here"
Only a few clansmen suddenly realized that this was back to their own tribe, and if they were in the Ji tribe, they would only say that the management was coming.
"You guys, you've got a lot of benefits!" As soon as the leader came, he was also happy to see several people who stood out from the crowd, and the number of people who went and came back was the same.
"Tell me what the Ji tribe is like?" Seeing that they were so well dressed, he, the leader, was red-eyed.
Speaking of this, several warriors gushed: "Chief, the Ji tribe is too prosperous!" β
"They have endless food and salt! More than 10 large warehouses of grain accumulation! β
"Each of them can live in a very sturdy and warm house!"
"They still have clothes like this, and they can make as many clothes as they want!"
"They still have such weapons to make as many as they want, and they also use this weapon to make a pot for eating!"
"They have a lot of pottery! It's beautiful! β
"They also have big monsters who just eat coal and go!"
"They have oil lamps for lighting! There is soap to wash clothes! β
"They ......"
"Stop!" The chief could not stand their praise.
"This episode of the tribe is so good?" The more the leader listened, the more shocked he became, such a rich tribe was still looking for them to join in before?
"Isn't there a lot of slaves in the Ji tribe?" After thinking about it, the leader could only guess the reason.
"There are slaves, but those are those who escaped from the west, and they do not live as slaves, but as members of the Ji tribe, what the Ji tribe does and enjoys, and they are the same!"
The leader was surprised: "Really? β
"Yes Chief! You see, all these things we brought back are a reward for us! β
βοΌβ The chief motioned for them to take it out.
Cotton cloth, ceramics, ironware, all kinds of food products, salt!
It's all a well-made boutique! Any other tribe to exchange things is a sought-after thing.
The leader walked around with his hands behind his back, thinking about these things and gathering tribes.
When several people saw that the leader was moved by these things, they continued to work hard: "Chief, this is our fruit!" It can be made into a spring brew! It can be made into dried fruits that have been preserved for a long time, and it can also be made into canned food! β
"Oh? What are those? "How could he not know that the fruit could be made into something else?
Because the Ji tribe did not have fruit, it was not made, and several tribesmen began to use both hands and feet to explain.
The leader understood, he remembered the fruit wine he had brewed with Li Yue before, and ordered someone to fetch it.
When the bamboo tube was opened, an intoxicating fragrance followed, and the leader immediately believed what Li Yue said, fortunately, he didn't throw these away because the other party was a child.
"This one is indeed delicious," the leader drank a bowl and thought it was good.
Several clansmen looked at each other: there is a play!
"Chief, this time we are back, and the people of the Ji tribe invite us to join the Ji tribe again!"
The leader was a little unhappy: "Have you forgotten the last words of the wise man?" β
"Lord Chief, we know the current situation in the west from the Ji tribe, the big people over there have already oppressed the tribes below and the slaves have fled, there may be a war in the near future, and we will also be affected at that time, and now the Ji tribe is constantly sheltering people, in order to resist the plundering of us by the western tribes!"
"Chief! For the sake of the people, you also have to think about it seriously! β
The others in the cave also saw and heard the news, and they were aroused in fear of the beast tribe.
Ask them about their backbones one by one.
"Chief! We can't resist this western attack! β
"Chief, let's move ahead of schedule!"
"Chief, or let's go gather the tribe!"
"Yes, Chief"
"Boss ......"
The leader is also very troubled, a team of warriors affiliated to the beast tribe killed their wise men, and killed so many of them, if they really called, they would not have the ability to resist.
Leader: "What else did the Ji tribe say?" β
A few clansmen couldn't figure out the leader's attitude, racked their brains and thought for a while, and said tentatively: "They told us to bring more fruit trees when we migrated over!" β
"That's it?"
"Yes!"
The leader waved his hand: "Good! Then let's move over! β
The clansmen who were still worried immediately cheered happily!
The small tree tribe migrated this time, and they packed all the fruits and brought them to the Ji tribe with the good fruit trees.
"What a time for these fruits!" Li Yue looked at the huge mountain of fruits with satisfaction.
"I'm so glad that the Little Tree Tribe is a part of us!" Several chieftains received on the side.
"Where! Thank you for accepting our small tribe" The leader of the little tree was very humble at this time, he saw that such an unusual and powerful Ji tribe was indeed an existence that a small tribe like him looked up to.
I can't help but admire!
