Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Felt Bag Conference
Liu Niang usually has no real power, but when something big happened in the tribe, and the controversy in the felt bag conference was deadlocked, Liu Niang's opinion was the most important, because to a certain extent, she could represent the meaning of Tuoba Feng.
As for the remaining four vacant seats, Lin Fengjin told everyone very frankly that as long as you are loyal and brave, and are willing to give everything for the clan, then the clan will not forget your contribution, and these four positions are the best proof of this, they will be vacant, waiting for you to join.
At this moment, the eyes of the people who were able to enter the felt bag to participate in this meeting were burning, before Lin De's death, there was already a faint voice among the tribe to rank up and prove themselves, and now Lin Feng made this felt bag conference is in line with the mentality of these people.
What's more, this is not only a famous thing and a status symbol, but also has practical benefits - being able to sit on that white lambskin cushion can also voice and make demands on the affairs of the tribe, and even work against opponents, so that they can suffer a dumb loss!
After a series of reorganizations, the power structure among the tribes suddenly became stable, and the atmosphere of chaos among the tribes was also cleared.
To tell the truth, Lin Fengjin could have designed and sorted out a more rigorous and reasonable political power structure. But there is one sentence that says it well:
The best is not necessarily the most suitable.
For the current scale of Sanlibu, this system is the most suitable at this time, so as to ensure the stability of the future after leaving to the greatest extent.
After determining this series of things, it was already sunset, Lin Feng held Linde's urn, and walked out of the felt bag with the core members of these tribes, and then whistled, and soon, someone led a dozen sheep to rush over.
Sheep, cattle. Horses these cattle are for the steppe people. It is simply more familiar than the texture in the palm of his hand, and these Sanli tribesmen who followed Lin Fengjin can see at a glance that these sheep brought are probably much taller and fatter than the sheep they graze, and their coat color is slightly gray. This is especially evident at sunset. Should be a completely new breed.
Some old people suddenly thought of what Lin Fengjin had said. Suddenly, the whole body trembled violently, as if he couldn't stand steadily, and his voice trembled undecently:
"Male. Childe, isn't it?"
Lin Fengjin squinted his eyes, looked at these sheep, and said lightly:
"You guessed it right. ”
After speaking, Lin Fengjin took these sheep and walked to the shelter of the fjord by the sea, not far away the ice and snow have not yet melted, but after all, it has been a long time since the beginning of spring, so here is sunny and sheltered, and a clump of fresh grass grows.
These sheep usually eat hay, at this time is naturally a rush up, greedy to eat grass, sheep eating grass is not pleasing to the eye, and can only be said to be the same, but the big people in the Sanli tribe have walked up regardless of their identity, squatting in front of these sheep to watch them eat grass, these guys who can control the life and death of many people at this time are watching these sheep eat grass are intent, even for fear of missing a little something!!
There were also many shepherds watching from afar, some people were very puzzled, some people were so nervous that their hands were sweating, and suddenly, the old man of Osi, one of the "four whips" with great prestige in the tribe, fell to his knees tremblingly, stretched out his hands to the sky, and cried loudly, but looking at his distorted expression, it seemed to be laughing wildly.
Just when many people who didn't know what was going on were confused, several nobles next to the old man Ossi also appeared strangely, some covered their faces with their hands, some took out knives and slashed at the air, and some knelt on the ground and howled loudly, howling like wolves. Chi Bihu and Hu Yi have always been at odds, but at this time, they hugged each other tightly, and their faces were full of snot and tears
Nare also burst into tears, covering her face and muttering:
"I really don't eat grass roots, I really don't eat grass roots!"
It turned out that since Lin Fengjin mentioned that the local sheep have a bad habit of pulling out the grass roots and eating them together, the entire Sanli Department has paid attention to this matter, and they have found that this is the case, and they have tried their best to make the sheep change this habit, unfortunately, this habit is already deep-rooted, and there is no way to correct it.
Unless sheep are not raised, severe damage to the pasture is unavoidable. But if the grassland people don't raise sheep, are they still the children of the grassland? Goat's milk and mutton are as important to the grassland people as water and air.
And now, Lin Fengjin has fulfilled his promise and really brought the sheep that don't eat grass roots to the grassland! This means that the promise he made is being fulfilled step by step, and it also means that the beautiful picture he painted is definitely not a mirage, because with the appearance of the sheep that does not eat grass roots, this picture scroll has been half completed.
Lin Feng pointed to the sheep he brought:
"There are six ewes and four rams, and I heard that some of the crossbred lambs can't chew grass roots, so I estimate that in two or three years, this kind of sheep can replace the existing sheep. However, where there are advantages and disadvantages, the milk yield of this kind of sheep is not high, and the smell of sheep in the meat is much heavier, and it will take a lot of things to cook, such as the previous way of killing sheep without bloodletting is definitely not good. ”
Lin Fengjian's drawbacks have not been listened to by these people at all, if the milk production is not high, don't you have to feed a few more? Besides, it doesn't matter if you drink less goat milk, where the sheep don't smell, it's more fragrant than anything you eat, and it's not a matter of trouble when you cook it, and when it comes to winter, several mothers-in-law in the family are so idle that they even have to roll out the milk skin seven or eight times, and some of them are carefully tossing.
At that moment, the dozen or so sheep were immediately driven into the special sheepfold, such as the treasure was offered, two of the four whips had died, and the remaining two decided to eat and live with these ancestors in the future, they had dealt with sheep all their lives, and knew more about the habits of sheep than people.
Rams can generally be taken away for breeding when they grow to eight or nine months, and can be mated until they are eight or nine years old, while ewes can only start breeding and breeding at the age of one and a half years, and the estrus period is only one month.
However, the reason why the four whips are so powerful is that they have a secret technique, that is, to mix an herb to pour into the sheep, and at the same time give the sheep plenty of food and a warm environment, so that the sheep can be mated all year round during the estrus period like humans, which is the root of their fame.
Lin Fengjin was too lazy to care about so much, and told the people of Sanli about the future, that is, there will inevitably be a large number of Han traders coming to do business, and some of the bad habits of the clansmen who like to rob must be corrected. At the same time, the fairness of the transaction must also be maintained, here Lin Fengjin mainly emphasized that it is a matter of mutual benefit, although the grassland people are simple, but they are not stupid, so they nodded one after another.
When Lin Fengjin said this, he naturally set up an agency called the Municipal Trade Division, which was specifically responsible for adjudicating disputes between the Han and the Sanli tribesmen.
The person in charge of this institution was the dead soldier who followed Lin Fengjin out of Yaocheng last time, called Wangxi. This person's strength is average, but Lin Fengjin found that he was very studious, and he was fair and good at making decisions, and if he looked at it from a distance, he was actually a talented person, so he handed over such a powerful institution to him.
Then there is the issue of the supply of the main event, Lin Feng first inquired about the material stock in the three miles, that is, leather, jerky, cattle, horses, wool and other things, and couldn't help but be taken aback after listening to their answers, it is obvious that these guys have not done less things to burn and loot, it is estimated that at least four or five major tribes will have the current inventory.
However, Lin Feng first briefly calculated the transportation volume of the five-masted ship for them, and then analyzed the transportation volume of a caravan, and the prosperity of this route mentioned at the end of the year immediately stunned these clansmen.
In their eyes, the current inventory of Sanli is enough to trade for more than ten years, but they didn't expect that it would be emptied after one or two trips, and then they would face the embarrassment of not being able to get the goods to trade.
After Lin Feng invited them to go around his ship, these clansmen were completely shocked and agreed to form a chamber of commerce.
Fortunately, Lin Fengjin had already taken precautions before, asking them to select those "kets" (merchants on the grassland) who already had business acumen among the slaves, and treat them better, and at this time, they should take these old things as the core.
Of course, Lin Fengjin would never let these cunning sluts trade with the rest of the herdsmen, otherwise, I don't know how much Lu Dao would be embezzled by them. These "old ketts" will take the form of overseers, who will not be on the front line of trading, but will only be responsible for giving directions, and their monthly income will be cut from the overall profitability.
