Chapter 63: The Blackfoot Reform

A few male pets walked over and handed Kuruisu all kinds of towels and water, etc., for a while to comfort him.

After a long time, Kurisu finally regained her composure, and this time her attitude softened considerably.

"Thank you for telling me the news.... But as the chief of the Blackfoot, I'm going to continue what I said before.... Andy, what exactly are you thinking? Once the slave trade stops, our income will suffer a big setback, and the old stubborns in the village will definitely jump out, and Chagas.... That guy had been abusing slaves for pleasure before he disappeared, and he didn't agree that slavery would be abolished... What are you going to do with this? ”

Andy is quite confident in this, in fact, he has been thinking about these things all along, and Korhoti has summarized these difficulties for him with a very precise eye, and now he is almost ready to solve them.

"First of all, you've made a lot of profit through trade with Crosstown..... I have communicated with the leaders of the Dog Village, they will regularly bring large quantities of water to Blackfoot, you can use the two-headed oxen to carry that water, and you have a lot of people with escorts, as long as you carry the water far enough and find someone willing to trade with you, you can get far more profits than the slave trade, and your income will only fall temporarily, and then it will climb countless times. ”

Kurisu thought for a moment and asked a question.

"But what if there was no more profit to be made by keeping the slave trade while carrying on these trades, and what if there was an objection?"

Andy points to the crux of the matter.

"Water, the drier the place, the more you need it, but the premise of trading is trust, and the premise of selling water is that the other party trusts you, and if you continue to maintain the notoriety of this slave trader, then the surrounding settlements will not actively trade with you, so the more so, the more necessary it is to abolish slavery, and you can convince them in this way."

Kurisu nodded, but then thought about it in his mind, and still felt that something was wrong.

"It's not enough to just sell water for short-term gains, if we want everyone to support this kind of change, then we need to let them see more benefits directly, and can we find more other economic sources besides selling water?"

Andy takes out a stone from the Pip-Boy with some small silver dots on it.

"Of course there is, I have also thought about this, this is the silver ore produced from the black foot, although it does not have much effect on you, but the people outside like this thing, you can make a short-term profit by selling them, and add persuasiveness to this village reform."

Kurisu stared at the stone for a moment, as if surprised.

She turned her head to look at the big ears not far away.

"Is this something from our village? Why haven't I seen it before? ”

Big Ears nodded respectfully.

"This stone is only found in those caves in the North Mountain and West Mountain, and only people who are bored to play there will pick it up, but this stone has no effect, so whether they pick it up as decoration or throw it away."

"I see."

She looked at Andy and a smile began to appear on her face.

"It's good, so there's an overwhelming advantage.... So what about the following two questions? ”

Andy wondered who those old stubborns were in Kuresu's mouth.

"Can you elaborate on what those so-called old stubborns are?"

Kuruisu snorted coldly, as if he was angry when he remembered those guys.

"Those old men and old ladies think they are old men with black feet, the village generally calls them elders and the like, most of them are people who served as the leader of the hunting team or other important positions when they were young, although those guys don't care now, but they still have a lot of appeal in the village, what they like to talk about the most is the great history and glorious tradition of Blackfoot Village, and attribute all their achievements to the fact that they are dead to protect the righteous path of Blackfoot Village..... When I first succeeded to the throne, I had been dealing with them for a while, and although they were not very powerful, they could cause some trouble that would last for a long time. ”

Kuresu looked at Andy with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"If I announce the abolition of slavery by Blackfoot, those old fellows will definitely be the first to jump out against it, and even if they come up with more profits to convince them, they will shout that this is a deviation from the law of the ancestors, and it will definitely lead to the demise of the village, and then there will be people with bad brains who will support their views and complicate this simple matter.... It's harder to convince them than to ascend to the sky, what do you do? ”

Andy was a little embarrassed at this time, he did think of some solutions, but none of them seemed to be the most suitable, and at this moment, the beep boy on his wrist vibrate.

[You've got the clue]

Andy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered a mysterious coordinate he had obtained when he was looking through the pre-war book.

"It's okay, Chief Kuresu, I'll convince them, I promise."

Andy looked at Kurisu confidently, and the other party finally nodded with an appreciative gaze.

"And what about the last question?"

Andy knew she was referring to Chagas .... This guy is indeed a nuisance.

Chagas was very unwilling to defeat Kurisu to become the chieftain, not to mention that it was difficult for him to succeed, even if he had the possibility of success, Andy would not support him.

"I didn't expect Chagas to be a man who took pleasure in abusing slaves, but luckily I didn't support him."

A mocking smile appeared on Kuresu's face.

"That guy is a blackfoot man in the traditional sense, who likes to go out hunting and dominate slaves..... It's a pity that he's not that material at all, he doesn't understand politics and doesn't have a good physique, and his ambitions are all delusional. ”

Andy thought to himself, of course I know that's the case, but if Chagas doesn't want to go back to Tibbetts Prison, then he's going to be in a big mess, and if he really wants to kill him, but that will offend Blackfoot, it's really a dilemma.

"I really don't know what to do with him, do you have the best of both worlds, Chief Kuresu?"

Kurisu nodded, a smile on his chest.

"I know that fool too well, don't look at him opening his mouth and closing his mouth to be a chief, in fact, he doesn't know what kind of responsibilities and what kind of work he has to bear in the position of chief.... What he wants is not the power of being a chief, but the prestige and status that he will see, hum... I think this can be done in some article.... It just so happens that Galen now drinks and barely works, and I remember that he used to be the one in charge of weapon forging, so it would be better to let him take the shift. ”

As he spoke, Kurisu remembered the beginning when he called Andy over.

"Oh, I almost forgot... It's all your fault that the alcohol addiction is spreading in Blackfoot Village, what do you say you should do? ”

Andy was embarrassed for a moment, but he didn't expect the other party to remember.

"This.... Can you enact some laws, such as prohibiting underage drinking, prohibiting soldiers from drinking, punishing people who get drunk and affect their work, and... You could have just sent someone to control Galen's brewers and reduce the production. ”

Kurisu wasn't very satisfied.

"Even if these methods are used, they still can't completely solve the problem, and the combat effectiveness of the black foot will still decline."

Andy sighed and pointed out a key.

"Since it has been decided to reform, then in the future, the focus of the development of the village will be shifted to the direction of peaceful trade, the black foot does not need so much force at all, you have a gun, you only need to be able to defend yourself and protect your caravan, I believe that after living a prosperous life, except for a few crazy people, no one will advocate the restoration of the previous hunting team.... At that time, Blackfoot will be completely cleansed of all the stigma on his body. ”
