Chapter 72: Angolan Tribes
The Angolan dwarf tribe was less than a hundred kilometers away from the Norma dwarf tribe led by the Shluka patriarch, and after receiving the news that Xu Yi had arrived, the representative of the Angolan dwarf tribe had already arrived early the next morning.
To Xu Yi's surprise, the representative headed by him turned out to be the Monto patriarch of the Angolan dwarf tribe, and the two representatives who followed the Monto patriarch were also the two most respected elders in the Angolan tribe.
Seeing this lineup, Xu Yi naturally knew that the Angolan tribe attached great importance to the negotiation this time, so he became more cautious.
However, the negotiation process was even more unexpected for him.
The whole negotiation process was very simple, after Xu Yi proposed the conditions he had prepared to the patriarch and the two elders, the three of them unabashedly showed an excited expression, and agreed without thinking about it, which made Xu Yi instantly have the illusion that he must have opened the conditions too well.
However, this condition was put forward by Xu Yibi according to the treatment he had originally proposed to the Patriarch Sluca, and there were no more preferential conditions except for the promise of building a road from here to the Angolan tribe.
This is actually Xu Yi's belly of the dwarves with the heart of a human being, the dwarves are a very honest and even honest race, and the way of doing things is very different from that of humans.
Xu Yi inferred from the human negotiation that the Monto patriarch was likely to bargain, and then the two sides had a long time grinding before the negotiation was successful.
Who knew that the patriarch and the two elders felt that this condition was very satisfied, and they didn't even have the heart to bargain.
Of course, there was a reason why Patriarch Monto and the two elders agreed so readily.
The Angolan tribe is not far from here, and as dwarven brothers of the same clan, the two sides naturally come and go frequently, so they know the situation of the Norma tribe very well.
In the past, the Norma tribe and the Angolan tribe were brothers and sisters, and the living conditions of both sides were not very good.
However, since a human visited more than two months ago, the dwarves of the Angolan tribe found that the living conditions of the dwarves of the Norma tribe had suddenly improved.
Originally, because a hundred middle-aged dwarves of the Norma tribe were taken away by Xu Yi, the dwarves of the Angola tribe thought that the Norma tribe could not survive, and finally decided to sell the brothers in the tribe to humans to make cattle and horses for them, but they found that this was not the case at all.
From what we heard, we know that the dwarves who were taken away now work in human factories, not only eat and sleep well, but also get a reward of up to eight gold coins a month!
What's more, there is even a fine wine to drink in the factory!
Seeing the Norma tribe's compatriots gradually get rid of poverty, not only have enough food, but also brand new clothes, and even the tribal houses have been renovated, the dwarves of the Angolan tribe naturally can't sit still.
After learning that this change in qiē was due to the human named Xu Yi, the patriarch of Montu had the idea of meeting Xu Yi as well.
If this human named Xu Yi can help the Angolan tribe in the same way that he helped the Norma tribe and change the lives of the tribesmen, then he, the patriarch, can be regarded as truly making a difference.
Who knew that before Patriarch Monto could make up his mind, Sluka found the door and put forward Xu Yi's request straight to the point.
Hearing that Xu Yi wanted to recruit a group of dwarven craftsmen, Patriarch Mengtuo didn't think about it at all, and instantly agreed.
Compared to the Norma tribe, the Angolan tribe is still larger, and the total population is almost twice that of the Norma tribe.
The Norma tribe was able to provide a hundred dwarven craftsmen, while the Angolan tribe could provide two hundred.
Even the patriarch of Monto gritted his teeth and directly proposed to Xu Yi that he could provide three hundred adult clansmen to work in the factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The Patriarch of Sluka on the side was taken aback: "Mengto, are you crazy? How many adults are there in your clan? If you let three hundred people leave the tribe in one go, what will you do with the life in the clan in the future?"
Patriarch Mengtuo and the two elders glanced at each other and smiled: "No problem, it's not like the clansmen who stay in the clan can't move, it's a big deal to work hard." Besides, Chairman Xu has already negotiated with us about the remuneration for the clansmen to work in the factory, and as long as we persist for a while, when the clansmen get the honorarium, it will naturally ease up a lot. You say yes, President Xu?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Patriarch Mengtuo, please rest assured, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the dwarves have a happy cooperation, and we will never be in arrears of honorarium." However, what Patriarch Sluka said just now is very reasonable, if Patriarch Monto, if you send three hundred people in one go, the life of the tribe will definitely be greatly affected......"
Seeing that Xu Yi seemed to be about to refuse, Patriarch Mengtuo immediately waved his hand anxiously: "No, no, no, no, no problem." I know much more about the situation in the tribe than you, President Xu, even if you send away 300 people. ”
Seeing the apprehensive faces of Patriarch Mengtuo and the two elders, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.
The last time he came to the Norma tribe with Master Lanu to negotiate with the Greka Patriarch, he had already found that the living conditions of the dwarves were extremely poor, and the Patriarch Shluka was moved by the five hundred gold coins promised by Xu Yi, and now judging from the reactions of the Patriarch Monto and these two elders, I am afraid that this is not just a problem of the Norma tribe, but that all the dwarves are facing such a difficult situation.
"Patriarch Monto, don't worry, listen to me. Xu Yi said slowly: "Actually, I have other considerations. Although our Chamber of Commerce is in urgent need of a large number of outstanding dwarven craftsmen to complete the work, if we accept three hundred dwarves in one go, I am afraid that it will be difficult to arrange them with our current capacity of the Chamber of Commerce, and for the time being, we can only arrange about a hundred. ”
"It's only a hundred, that's too little......" Patriarch Monto and the two elders immediately showed a look of disappointment.
"Listen to me. Xu Yi smiled and continued: "In addition to these hundred dwarven craftsmen who are directly employed by the factories under our Chamber of Commerce, I also need to hire a group of dwarven craftsmen who are more experienced in smelting to conduct material research, I wonder if Patriarch Mengtuo is interested in this?"
"Material research, what's that?" Patriarch Monto and the two elders were at a loss.
Xu Yi glanced at Patriarch Sluka on the side, and Patriarch Sluka immediately understood, coughed lightly, and began to explain to the three of them.
After a full half hour, Patriarch Montor and the two elders showed expressions of sudden realization.
"So...... What kind of material research is this, that is, the method of making iron?" asked the patriarch of Monto.
That's probably what it means, but of course there will be a lot of more detailed requirements. Xu Yi nodded.
Patriarch Mengtuo thought for a moment and asked again, "President Xu, do you mean that you want our tribesmen to come and help your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce accomplish this, just like the dwarven brothers here...... Materials research?"
"Yes. The study of materials must go through a lot of practice, and although Patriarch Sluka has some manpower here, I think it is far from enough, so I want to find some other dwarven brothers to help complete these studies. I don't know if Patriarch Monto is interested?"
Patriarch Monto frowned and asked, "But this thing...... What benefits can it bring to our tribe?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly, wanting to explain to them that mastering a valuable course that was definitely the top scientific research achievement on the Sainz continent would definitely be a waste of words, so he bluntly stretched out a slap in the face.
"If I research any result that I recognize, I will be rewarded with 500 gold coins. ”
"Five hundred gold coins?!" Patriarch Monto and the two elders both shrank their eyes, their faces full of shock.
When I discussed with Xu Yi just now the remuneration for the clansmen to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it was only eight gold coins a month, although there were many people, but the amount was not large, and it didn't sound special.
Now Xu Yi actually has five hundred gold coins in one mouth, which immediately shocked the three dwarves.
Patriarch Monto couldn't help but glance at Patriarch Sluka next to him, and his eyes fell on the luxurious cloth robe that was obviously woven by a high-ranking human tailor on Patriarch Sluka's body, revealing a hint of envy.
This Sluka, who was only wearing a tattered linen dress when he met him three months ago, was now able to change into such a beautiful dress, which was obviously the change brought about by cooperating with the human merchant in front of him.
Thinking of the amazing changes he had seen along the way when he entered the Norma tribe just now, Patriarch Monto immediately made up his mind and nodded vigorously to Xu Yi.
"Okay! That's it!"
Xu Yi immediately showed a sincere smile and shook hands tightly with Patriarch Mengtuo.
In fact, the patriarch of Mengtuo was certainly excited because of the large amount of remuneration promised by Xu Yi, and Xu Yi himself was also very excited.
This time I came to the dwarf tribe to be a great harvest, not only temporarily solving the increasingly strict personnel problem, but also unexpectedly discovering a breakthrough in material research.
If the dwarves of the Angolan tribe were able to develop several new alloys as successfully as the dwarves of Muru, it would be of great help to Xu Yi's plan to advance the industrialization of the Sainz continent.
In addition, Xu Yiye also established a good relationship with the dwarves through guò's contact with these two dwarven tribes.
At present, although the number of dwarves on the Sainz continent is not large, they still have the largest number of high-level craftsmen.
Maybe this doesn't have much impact on other humans, but for Xu Yi, it's a huge asset.
If you can completely grasp this wealth in your hands, Xu Yi's grasp in his heart will naturally be much greater.
