Chapter 39: Chapter 3 of the Covenant
Yang Yang handed over the coolies he had recruited to the copperbeard dwarf patriarch and asked them to help with the forging. The craftsmen were given to the Yodel chiefs to participate in the construction, and the warriors were given to Captain John to take training to train and assist in the defense of the city. After everything was arranged, Yang Yang returned to the lord's hall, and Yang Yang drove everyone out, leaving Nada alone next to him.
Sissi heard that Yang Yang was going to let herself avoid the boss's reluctance, but Yang Yang didn't know what to say in Sissi's ear, which made Sissi's little face flush and run out. Yang Yang smiled and looked at the figure of Qian Qian running out and couldn't help but narcissist: Men should have the strength to let women come and go when they are recruited, otherwise they can still have their own good life after they are used to heaven?
Yang Yang saw that the scene was almost cleared, and his expression became serious and said to Nada beside him.
"Let's talk about the future of your barbarian tribe. ”
Yang Yang looked at Nada and wanted to wait for her to talk about her thoughts first. But after waiting for a long time, Nada didn't say anything at all, and Yang Yang didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd. Maybe it's still soft resistance, silently expressing the anger in his heart? Nada shouldn't be so boring, right? Yang Yang couldn't bear the idea of such a cold and glamorous beauty, so he had to continue
"Don't think you're okay without talking, tell you the truth. Now the entire barren plain is my territory, and the greatest force in the territory is your barbarian tribe.
Now that the yodelers are all my people, I cannot divide any of them into your servitude. Your top leaders are in my hands, including you. I don't want to kill you, but don't expect me to let you go back to be my enemy. Now all you can choose is to join here and accept my management or ......"
"Okay, I agree. Nada didn't let Yang Yang continue or go on, but just agreed with an expressionless face.
Yang Yang was very uncomfortable when he heard Nada agree so readily, he felt that this woman was by no means as easy to tame as she appeared. Yang Yang would not believe that this woman completely gave up resistance because she had an extra relationship with herself, so the only answer was that this woman was brewing some bigger conspiracy.
Although Yang Yang had grown 10,000 eyes, the other party had already agreed to all of his requests, and it was impossible for him to find a reason to regret or kill them at this time.
"But I have one condition, you must meet me, or I will not compromise even if I promise my subordinates. ”
Nada seemed very satisfied with Yang Yang's frightened face, and showed a rare smile.
"First, my tribe must live here as the main battle race, and you are obligated to equip them with the best weapons and equipment. I know you're rich, and there are so many brilliant dwarven craftsmen who don't want to fool me with some defective products.
Second, my tribe must be led by me. You can command me, but you can't direct them.
Thirdly, you have no choice but to hinder the internal affairs of our barbarians for any reason. We demand a high degree of autonomy, and you have to provide us with enough food and shelter. At present, if you can agree to these three requirements, I will submit and lead the people of the tribe to your rule. ”
Nada finished the three promises in one breath, and smiled once in each of them, but there was a faint evil hidden in her expression.
Yang Yang scolded angrily in his heart every time he heard this: This woman is really not simple, if all these three are agreed, it will be almost the same as the compensation for land cession? Where is this recruiting a group of thugs? This is simply encountering a group of robbers! No, they are robbers in the first place! The whole group of uncles has been recruited!
These three mentions are very pertinent and sincere, and I seem to have no reason to refuse. Yang Yang pondered for a moment and replied meaningfully.
"So you agreed?" Nada listened to Yang Yang's serious answer, and it seemed that the other party had agreed.
"But I refuse them all! What are these requirements you are asking? You might as well just let me obey you, why don't you be the lord and I will be the thug for you? Although my family background is not very solid, I still have a lot of strength. ”
Yang Yang was no longer so polite, and began to sit on the main seat of the living room, reminding the other party to pay attention to his identity in a relationship of a leader receiving subordinates.
"It's the most basic requirement, and if you don't say yes, there's nothing to talk about. Kill me!"
Nada heard that the other party did not intend to compromise, and put on a look of death. The little face swayed, his neck twisted, and his back was turned to Yang Yang, looking generous and righteous.
"Do you think I can't bear you? I can kill you at any time, I've never seen you so unscrupulous captive! Lao Tzu is not used to your stinky temper today! Come on, put this woman in the back room for me and don't let her leave half a step!"
Yang Yang suddenly became furious, and angrily scolded the guards for "inviting" Nada into the small black room in the back room. The small black room is usually used to punish some maids who make mistakes, and it is surrounded by walls on all sides, and there is a door on one side, and when you close the door, you can't see anything in the dark. It is one of the few ways for Yang Yang to punish his subordinates.
In fact, Yang Yang knew that this level of punishment would not pose a substantial threat to an assassin at all, but he knew that the other party seemed to see his bottom line, that is, he would not really kill them, so he would open his mouth to report such a high condition.
What is a high degree of autonomy, what is the main battle race? What can't interfere in internal affairs? Isn't this telling Yang Yang that they want to build a territory in their own territory? And all the resources have to be prioritized to equip them, what does this make the paladins who have followed them from the beginning think? Will people say that Yang Yang married his daughter-in-law and forgot his brother? Yang Yang just didn't think of a strategy to deal with it, so he temporarily locked up Nada to suppress her momentum by the way.
It seems that Nada's affairs can't be rushed, and this is like boiling eagles and having to take their time. It's all about physical strength and patience, and Nada is clearly not an easy hawk to tame. Yang Yang was no longer in a hurry when he communicated this, and summoned all the high-level executives to prepare for a meeting.
After a while, the three elders, as well as the knight captain, the king of the hill, and even the new first CEO of the Shang Alliance, Mulik, arrived in the council hall.
Yang Yang sat on the top of the hall with a serious expression
"It's almost winter, how are our wintering supplies going?"
Yang Yang first asked the Yodel patriarch Arif, because he was in charge of the production and living materials in the territory.
"Xiaoyang, all the grain has been escorted over. The warehouse has been built a few days ago, and we have been busy putting grain into the warehouse these days, and preliminary statistics show that our grain is enough for two and a half years of consumption in the territory. Mainly because of our bumper harvest this year and the fact that no poll tax was paid to anyone, the harvest was very high.
In addition, the daily consumables that have been shipped recently and some luxury goods used in the house have begun to be counted and recorded, which should be enough to consume for half a year. The new bookkeepers are very diligent and the counts are accurate, so you can rest assured. ”
Patriarch Arif stroked his mustache and reported the amount of supplies and the estimated time it could consume one by one, as clear as a few treasures, and his face was full of pride.
Yang Yang saw that Elder Arif had reported the quantity of supplies so clearly and in detail, and he sighed in his heart that this old man Yodel was not simple, and it seemed to be a treasure that he could still have such a good memory and arithmetic ability at a young age! Yang Yang politely said a few words, and Arif was also very useful to express his gratitude.
"It's wintering soon, and to be honest, I was talking to Nada about the co-optation of the barbarian tribe. ”
Yang Yang listened to the previous account and began to enter the main topic of today's discussion. Because the paladin guards were the hardest injured when Nada invaded the territory, they all had some resistance when they heard that Yang Yang really wanted to take them in.
Because that night alone the paladins lost forty-two people, not counting those who were seriously wounded. Therefore, they have always hated these barbarians, and they are the ones who kill them the most. It's just that Yang Yang later accepted Nada as his wife, and these paladins didn't dare to go overboard because they were afraid of the new lady. Now that Yang Yang said that he wanted to accept them, the paladins all expressed their unwillingness to accept them.
