Your Highness, these preliminary conditions have been met.

"Hmm."

Li Xin nodded slightly and said, "These conditions are acceptable."

However, there is one thing: we cannot release the tribal retainers we captured earlier!

In addition, each department must send at least one hundred children aged six to twelve to study in Dongning City every year!

Both of these conditions must be added!

The captured tribal retainers have now become free labor in Dongning, so they naturally cannot be sent back!

Furthermore, if these people are released, the Nah and Nalin tribes will have the resources to make a comeback!

If we then oppose Dongning again, things will get complicated!

As for sending one hundred school-age children to school, it concerns the long-term transformation of the tribe!

Allowing tribal chieftains to rule is ultimately not a solution.

In ten or twenty years, perhaps it will become compliant.

But what about a hundred or two hundred years?

There is only one way to completely subdue them!

That is assimilation!

Only by integrating these tribes with the people of the Great Gan Dynasty and completely assimilating them can tribal rebellions be prevented.

Li Xin added this clause for the sake of long-term planning.

"Of the eight local chieftaincies in Dongning City, only two have been established so far."

Li Xin continued to instruct, "Send the message to the other Tufu tribes as well, and tell them to be sensible and submit to Dongning as soon as possible. I will forgive their past transgressions."

If we wait for the main army to arrive, we won't have such favorable conditions!

Zhao Bingzhang nodded in agreement: "Yes!"
