"Are you telling me this because you need my help?" After listening to Ao Lei's story about the problems encountered by the tribe before, Liang En thought for a while and asked, "Then what do you think I should do?" ”

"I'll make them your subjects." Ao Lei smiled a little slyly, "I will make all those who will listen to me pledge their allegiance to you, and convince them to be as truly subservient to you as possible." ”

"W-why?" Hearing this pie that suddenly smashed into his head, Liang En frowned. "These are the strength you have worked hard to accumulate for several years, why did you suddenly give them to me?"

"Because these things are two different things for me and for you." Ao Lei took a deep breath, then looked at Liang En's eyes and said to him very solemnly.

"I think you, as a cultivator, should know what I've spent so much experience and time in these villages for. I am willing to help them, but I am not willing to spend all my time and energy on this. ”

"I was happy from the bottom of my heart when I heard that you had a permit to develop this land, and I could even say that even if it hadn't happened today, I would have handed over control of the villages I had in hand to you."

"So I can tell you right now, as long as you allow them to keep their faith in me, then I will be more than happy to give you all the other rights."

"Of course I don't mind if they continue to believe in you." As soon as Ao Lei's words fell, Liang En made a promise in terms of faith. "As long as you don't change the method of sacrifice, then I don't plan to change this aspect."

According to the imperial court's decree on faith, Ao Lei's practice not only did not violate this decree, but was even an act encouraged by the decree.

In particular, this kind of sacrificial activity is not unilaterally beneficial to Ao Lei, who also spends a lot of effort to maintain her own faith when accepting these forces from faith, and this maintenance method is often conducive to local development.

Especially in the absence of any designated faith in the frontier, it is not a bad thing to have a reliable faith, at least to calm people's hearts and help to ward off those evil beliefs.

"At the same time, if they are really willing to be loyal to me, then they are my second group of subjects, and I naturally have an obligation to help them get through this winter and live a good life."

"Then I'll tell them the good news!" After hearing Liang En's promise, a smile bloomed on Ao Lei's face, and then a dodge rushed into the distance, and soon, there was a burst of cheers from the tribe.

For these Ainu, they don't mind having an extra lord of their own, and they don't rule out the emergence of new immigrants on the edge of their lands - other places may fight over living space, but not here.

Because the human beings on this island are actually in a weak position, the harsh environment, the monsters running around, the wolf and the bear are always on the line of life and death, and there is a disaster of extinction at any time.

So it's important for them to stay alive. And more immigrants can obviously give them a goal of huddling together to keep warm, and it is easier to resist all kinds of risks.

In addition to the practical factor of survival, Ao Lei's long-term cultivation in this area has also played many key roles, so that these local natives have a special affection for Huaxia and are willing to get close to them.

Because of Ao Lei, although the vast majority of the local aborigines do not have the ability to write, they can speak Chinese, which is obviously conducive to communication between immigrants and aborigines, and avoids a series of problems caused by poor communication.

Since it takes time to swear allegiance, whether it is gathering people or building an altar, Liang En is ready to set off to buy supplies after explaining a few things to Ao Lei and the tribal chief.

Of course, he also removed everything that the tribe could use on the boat, including fishing nets, fishing rods, dozens of hooks and thousands of meters of fishing line, and even all the spices and food in the kitchen.

But just as he was about to leave, the tribal chief, who had been silent, suddenly stopped him, and led him to the house at the back of the village, where he pried open the floor.

Instantly, a slightly musty smell came from underneath the floor, and Liang En discovered that the floor had been specially renovated to form a dark compartment, and in the dark compartment was a wooden box that did not look very large.

"It's valuable, we know." The chief pointed to the things that existed in the dark compartment and said in a Chinese language that had a strange accent and grammar.

"We've just discussed it and decided to give it to you. You saved our lives, and you have to prepare things for us for the winter, and we have to pay for it. ”

"Then I'll take it." Through yesterday's dealings, he knew that these people were very simple and did not have much politeness, so the other party said that if he wanted to send something, he really wanted to send it, and it was an insult for him to refuse at this time.

In addition to the treasures in the small box, the chief gave two boxes full of the smell of sea, saying that although they were not recognized by the outside, they did have a nourishing effect.

After boarding the boat with a pile of things, Liang En waved goodbye to the people on the shore, and then drove the boat down the river into the sea, at which point he had time to check what was in the box before.

The box is made of the most common local pine, which is quite smooth and has some lines carved on it, which looks very exquisite and has a special beauty.

And when he opened the box, he immediately understood why it was so beautifully made - because it contained a stone the size of a baby's fist, transparent like an ice cube.

"Diamonds!" Because of the mastery of alchemy, after a brief inspection of the spiritual power, Liang En immediately understood what was in the box.

Although diamonds were not as hyped up in this era, such a large and transparent gemstone was still expensive, so it was treasured by the chief and given to Liang En.

However, this item is obviously not a specialty of the island, because later generations have never heard of the existence of a diamond frame on the island of Hokkaido.

According to Liang En's speculation, the source of the diamonds is probably related to the diamond mines in Siberia, which used to produce a large number of diamonds back then, so it is normal for a few diamonds to leave the mine area before that.

At the same time, there was a series of trade and commodity exchanges between the nomadic and fishing and hunting peoples of the whole Siberian region, so it is likely that this diamond entered the island at that time.

As for the two boxes, it was not the salted fish he imagined, but all of them were authentic wild dried Hokkaido sea cucumbers.

Perhaps because of some extraordinary power, these sea cucumbers are handled perfectly, and they are absolutely top-notch in modern society.

But in any case, these things now belonged to Liang En, so after driving the ship a certain distance to make sure that it would not be discovered, he returned to the modern world and called Liu Peng as soon as possible.

"Peng Zai, I have a good thing to sell, will you be in your store tomorrow?"
