126 [Three of Three]

Slave owners eventually gave up their slaves.

He wanted to join Sleeping Bear, naturally because he knew all kinds of deeds in Sleeping Bear City, especially the deeds of defeating the plague, which made him have a strong yearning for this place.

Before that, no Indian tribe had ever been able to defeat the plague.

Now, just living in Sleeping Bear City can withstand the world's most terrible natural disasters, and a few slaves are of course nothing compared to this benefit, and some compensation is somewhat compensated.

He sold his slaves to the Arapaho, who then gave the purchased slaves to Sleeping Bear City in exchange for a reduced sentence for his family.

This is also a relatively balanced result, those who are willing to exchange slaves for family members have a certain amount of wealth, and by making these people bear a part of the compensation, the tribe's direct expenses are saved a lot, and the slave owners also get not too low compensation.

After completing the basic formalities before entering the city, the new immigrants, led by several soldiers, entered Sleeping Bear City and came to their future residence.

"White man's house?" Some Comanches looked at the building in amazement.

Standing in front of them was a small building, made of brick and stone, with two floors.

"It's a brick and stone house." "The Ministry of Housing is promoting this kind of construction, and there will be fewer tents and wooden houses in the future." ”

Someone asked, "Two families here?" ”

Soldier: "That's right, two floors, one family each." ”

"This ...... Not very well, as far as I know, it seems that no clan would do this. ”

"No clan is immune to the plague."

"It's the arrangement of the Great Chief." The soldier added, "The chief has said that in the future our houses will be taller and stronger, and that all of us will have to adapt to the habitation of the buildings." ”

There was a lot of talk among the people, and they all said, "Is it true that I heard that the Great Chief of the Horse Whistle is as tall as a giant?" ”

"You'll soon be able to meet the Great Chief, and alone. Every newcomer can talk to the Grand Chief for at least a minute. The soldier said.

Ma Whistle has always done this, and he will talk to each newcomer for at least a minute.

Everyone in Sleeping Bear City had spoken to him face to face, and they all knew his voice, looks, and demeanor.

In fact, he felt that the habit could be followed to the end.

After all, there are only three or four hundred thousand Indians in the whole of the United States, and one minute per person is only a few thousand hours.

Spread out over a decade to do it, two hours a day, which is not a heavy burden.

At least for today's horse whistles, it's really nothing.

In addition to his near-perfect physical fitness, he has an ever-increasing ability to stay focused for long periods of time and rarely wander at work...... It could also be because there is no cell phone and internet.

His ability to act has become so strong that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand, anyway, he can be sure that if he met this kind of person in his previous life, most of them would have the heart to kneel.

For the current horse whistle, 996 is almost a health preservation.

A mere two-hour conversation is nothing short of indulgence.

Of course, although there is no difficulty, there are many troubles.

Most of the new immigrants have not received any decent education, and there are many foreigners, so there will naturally be a gap in communication.

This barrier has created many obstacles, not only in language communication, but also in various matters.

With the influx of new immigrants, the issue had to be discussed on a whistle and rainy day.

“…… I think we might be able to do some initial assimilation to them before they even come to Sleeping Bear City. Said on a rainy day.

"How?" The horse whistle asked.

Rainy day: "Take the initiative to send our shamans out and let them go on a mission with gifts and knowledge." ”

"In this way, when we absorb other tribes, some of them have already accepted many of our ideas in advance, and it will naturally be much easier to assimilate."

Ma Whistle quickly nodded: "That's right, it's the right thing to do, it's just that we don't have enough shamans......"

Shamans in old times, both as a political identity and as a profession, could be used to earn a living.

However, the shamans of the Spiritual Oracle Sect have almost no professional attributes, but are merely a political identity, or political appearance.

Most of the people who have the status of oracle shamans are practitioners in education, medical care, management, military officers, etc., which are still quite scarce and important.

You can export some to the outside world, but you must not export too much, otherwise your tribe's work will not be busy.

"Sooner or later, we're going to have to absorb the whole of North America, and it's okay to send some more." ”

Ma Whistle shook his head: "The shaman will not be able to continue his studies if he is sent out. Our shamans are excellent, but there is still a lot to learn, and they can only continue to learn if they stay in the tribe. ”

Rainy day thought for a moment: "Maybe we can rotate?" ”

"Well, but you can't send too much after all." "Well, let's assign two soldiers to each shaman, two of them as students, assistants, and escorts, and three of them to form a 'Spiritual Oracle' group, which will take on the task of 'pre-assimilation' of the various clans. ”

Rainy day nodded: "How many such groups do you plan to send?" ”

"How about fifteen?" Ma Whistle thought for a moment.

"That's too little." On a rainy day, he said, "Thirty?" Thirty shamans, even if they were accompanying soldiers, were only ninety people. ”

"Okay." "Mainly to the Navajo, Kiowa, and other tribes of Apache first...... Slowly, our prestige is not high enough, and the tribes may not be willing to accept the sect we have sent. ”

Then he remembered something: "This 'teaching group' setting is worth promoting." In the future, as long as there are more than three followers of the Spiritual Oracle, they should form small groups to help each other, learn from each other, and preach the doctrine. ”

Rainy day: "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to let the believers establish themselves?" ”

Ma Whistle: "Believers can form themselves on their own, but they can only form temporary organizations on their own. Approval is required for a formal group, and we have the right to change or revoke any group. ”

"We must have a complete grasp of the Spiritual Doctrine, at least like the Catholic Pope."

Rainy Sky nodded: "I will add the content about the sect to the Spiritual Oracle." ”

The two talked again until a soldier brought in the latest newspaper.

In this era of backward means of communication, newspapers were almost the only way for them to obtain a lot of information about the outside world, especially about white people.

The two flipped through the newspapers, hoping to find some valuable information.

Soon one of the pieces of news caught the attention of the horse whistle: "California...... Republic. ”
