Chapter 72: Reform I
The next day, the Rin Wind Tribe Council Hall.
At the top of the hall is a large wooden platform one meter high, with a rough wooden table and an empty wolfskin seat.
The lower and left sides of the wooden platform were crowded with people at this time, and the chiefs of the twelve tribes and the guards behind them crowded the positions on the left and right sides of the hall with either sitting or standing.
"I don't know what will happen if you call us here today?"
"Hehe, I guess it's just to set the rules, everyone will be in a gang in the future, so naturally there are a lot of things that can't be messed around anymore!"
"If that's the case, maybe there will be a reward to be handed down, I heard that this new lord has a lot of good things in his hands."
"Hopefully, we'll know if there's a ...... when he comes."
"Your Excellency has arrived!"
Suddenly, a shout rang out outside the door.
Suddenly, the entire hall became silent, and everyone stood in place, quietly waiting for the arrival of the new lord.
After a few breaths, the gate was slowly pushed open by the guards from both sides, and a human, the size of the chiefs' waists, walked quickly into the hall and headed straight for the wooden platform at the top.
"Chiefs, please take a seat." Li Xin walked up to the wooden platform, sat on the wolfskin seat specially made for himself, and said casually.
Hearing the leader's order, the chiefs below immediately sat on the newly laid woolen carpet, and then turned their heads to look at Li Xin, waiting for his next step.
Seeing the appearance of his subordinates, Li Xin didn't bother to say anything about hypocrisy, and went straight to the point: "Calling everyone here today, in fact, there is only one purpose, that is, to discuss the formation of an army. ”
Speaking of this, Li Xin thought about it for a while, and decided to start with the easy-to-accept topic first: "Seven days later, please bring all the strong men of the appropriate age here, I want to test your combat effectiveness, and when I go out to fight in the future, I can assign tasks to you." ”
Before today's meeting, Li Xin had already discussed with Chenfeng, and at this meeting, he would not make his plan to deal with the Thundering Tribe public. In the same way, those things like the Holy Empire will not be mentioned to them, so as not to leak the rumors of the rumors.
So far, all the chiefs thought that this was just the proper meaning of everyone living together, and naturally, they all came up with the old methods to perfunctory.
"My lord, in the past two years, there have always been natural and man-made disasters, and the Dingkou of our Rain Prayer Tribe is really not as much as the Rin Feng Tribe, so please forgive me when the time comes." As soon as Li Xin's words fell, the chieftain named Courage took the lead and used the old routine of preserving strength.
"Yes, yes, it's all to blame on the damn Thundering Tribe, our Eternal Fire Tribe, and the strong men in the past two years have not increased but decreased." A chieftain named Jin Zi also immediately jumped out and echoed in his voice.
"That's right! In the past few years, everyone's life has been difficult, and Dingkou is not as good as before. ”
"Our tribe is the far northerth, and the most people starved to death during the snowstorm in the past two years, so there are not as many men as in previous years, and I hope ...... it."
………
"That's it!" Seeing that this united conference and the victorious congress would have a tendency to turn into a grievance meeting, Li Xin decisively slapped the table and shouted to stop the nonsense of the younger brothers.
When the crowd below gradually quieted down, Li Xin leaned back on the chair and said unhurriedly: "Each family has its own difficulties, and I naturally know this, so I don't force you, bring as many people as you want." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled slightly, and then said meaningfully: "However, the relief food distributed to each tribe in the future will be calculated according to the Dingkou you brought, and one Dingkou will receive relief food for five people, and there will be no more, so that no one will suffer, so as not to say that I favor one over the other!" ”
After speaking, Li Xin didn't talk nonsense, just leaned back on the chair and waited for the wonderful performance of the little brothers.
"Ahem... My lord, I'm sorry, but I seem to have misremembered the number of Dingkou in the Rin Wind Tribe, and in retrospect, it seems that we have a little more Ding Kou than the Rin Wind Tribe. The Chief of Courage was still the first to stand up and correct his mistaken remarks in time.
"Your Excellency... Although the strong men of our tribe do not increase but decrease, but not much less, in fact, there is not much difference from previous years, I hope you don't misunderstand what I just meant. ”
"My lord, even if the number of our males is not as good as before, many of our minors are developing very well, and many of them can already come to work for you, I hope you can allow it."
"My lord, we ......"
……
"Very good, very good! I am also very pleased to see that everyone is so enthusiastic, anyway, the food in my hands is piled up, even if you bring people, I will never let any of my people starve! Seeing that all the little brothers understood their own meaning, Li Xin didn't want to say anything, hello, hello, everyone, it's really good!
As soon as they heard that the leader actually said that he was not to blame for the past, the chiefs were slightly stunned at first, and then suddenly there was a tide of sycophants, and all kinds of high hats seemed to be slammed into Li Xin's head as if they didn't want money, as if they were afraid that he would regret it.
And Li Xin, naturally, is also calm, smiling a little, without any embarrassment at all, after all, such a small scene, for a person like him who is invulnerable, can only be regarded as a tickle at most, how can he be moved in the slightest?
Just waited patiently until the little brothers were exhausted, Li Xin beckoned and motioned for Chenfeng to bring up the second agenda.
"Okay guys, that's all for the topic, now let's move on to the next thing." Li Xin took a large piece of parchment from Chenfeng's hand, picked it up and shook it at everyone in the audience, and announced loudly at the same time.
"What is this parchment for?"
"It looks like it's densely packed with Chinese characters."
"Looking at the one by one, it seems to be a contract, but I don't know ......"
"That's it! Don't guess, it's a contract. Li Xinke was not interested in playing dumb riddles with them, so he directly stated the purpose: "This contract is my supplement to the allegiance contract, so now I want to discuss it with everyone, the main content of which is to reform the current recruitment method." ”
Then, Li Xin stopped and looked around at the chiefs, but he didn't find anyone who had a radical reaction, so he continued to speak with confidence: "First of all, in the future, the service period of two months a year, bringing your own dry food and bringing your own equipment can be exempted..."
