Luo Chong calmly explained the problem to Chief Cha, and also to other people, hoping that they would know more about the Han Tribe and choose to join the Han Tribe as soon as possible.
"So that's how it is. It seems that horses are really good animals. They are actually useful in this way. Then I have no problem. I am willing to take my people to live in the new city." Chief Cha said happily.
"Our Ao Tribe is willing too."
"Our Mushroom Tribe is willing too."
"Our Feishi Tribe is willing too."
"Chief Han, you just said that the Han Tribe's white salt production is not enough. Now that we have joined the Han Tribe, will there not be enough white salt to eat?" Just when the leaders of several other tribes also decided to join the Han Tribe, the leader of the Kama Tribe raised a new question.
"Haha, of course there is enough to eat. Don't worry about that." Luo Chong said with a smile.
Now all the leaders were immediately confused. Just now you said that in order to build the new city, there was not enough white salt, so you stopped the market trading. Now you suddenly say that there is enough to eat. Isn't this contradictory?
Luo Chong looked at their suspicious eyes and explained with a faint smile.
"Actually, this is easy to understand. This is how you usually exchange white salt. You exchange a lot, save it slowly and eat it slowly. When you are almost finished, you exchange it again, right?"
The leaders all nodded. They did this indeed.
"Then it is easy to understand. You have joined the Han tribe, so the white salt will be distributed by the Han tribe themselves. You don't need to save it anymore. Just take out the amount you saved before and make sure that all the tribesmen have enough white salt.
Also, you all said just now that there is strength in numbers. Before, I said that the Han tribe's white salt production was low because the tribe didn't have enough people. Now that there are more people, I can assign more people to make white salt. Wouldn't the production increase?
That's why I said that the larger the population, the more we can do. The more people there are, the better our lives will be. As long as you obey my arrangements and work hard to complete my tasks, you don't have to worry about running out of supplies."
After Luo Chong's explanation, the leaders immediately understood, and at the same time, they all admired Luo Chong's leadership ability. They really couldn't help but accept this.
Their tribe has less than 600 people at most. It takes a long time to assign tasks to the tribe members every day, and sometimes they can't make clear arrangements. But Luo Chong manages the tribe of thousands of people in an orderly manner. Everyone has their own tasks and work, and the tribe is getting better and better.
Now that so many tribes have joined and so many people have increased, it feels like Luo Chong feels that it is not enough. The Han tribe seems to have endless work to do. But this is not bad. They don't have to think about what to do. As long as they honestly complete the tasks assigned by the leader, the leader will definitely make the Han tribe stronger and stronger.
Basically, all the questions that should be asked were asked. After Luo Chong's detailed answers, they also understood the situation. Naturally, some people chose to join the Han tribe again. In the end, there were only two or three leaders left. But under the "general trend", they did not insist and chose to join the Han tribe.
This made Luo Chong very happy. In this absorption alone, 17 large tribes with more than 300 people were absorbed, and the total population reached a terrifying 5,700 to 5,800. In addition to the small tribes with less than 100 people who took the initiative to surrender, the population has reached 6,000, which is more than the current population of the Han tribe.
With the addition of the Han tribe's own population of more than 4,000, the Han tribe has become a super large tribe with a population of more than 10,000. This is not counting the captured slaves. Now the total number of slaves captured by the Han tribe alone is more than 1,100.
Previously, 200 were captured in the northern valley, more than 430 were captured in an ambush a few days ago, and another 470 to 480 were captured in the decisive battle today. Adding together, it has exceeded 1,000. The number is large, but for the Han tribe, whose total population has now exceeded 10,000, the ratio of legal citizens to slaves is ten to one, so it is not difficult to manage. These slaves cannot make a big fuss, and the Han tribe has enough strength to suppress them.
After dealing with all these leaders, Luo Chong was in a good mood. He laughed and led them to a celebration banquet.
In the square in the center of the city, all the tribesmen in the city gathered. Each household also sent prepared meals. The staple food was rice. There was no roasted whole lamb, which was too luxurious. However, there was a dish of mutton and cabbage. The mutton and cabbage stewed in a big pot, with soup, meat and vegetables, was fat but not greasy. It was a big pot meal that was very suitable for a dinner party. It was a pity that there was no vermicelli.
Luo Chong sat at the table close to the flagpole. The long table was made up of several tables put together. Both sides were filled with high-level people from the Han tribe and the leaders who had just joined.
The dishes on this table were very rich, including mutton and cabbage soup, mutton fried cabbage, chili fried eggs, tomato fried eggs, pork fried with dried beans, and fried peanuts. Many of the dishes were made by Xiaodie herself. Luo Chong also taught her the skill of cooking. Xiaodie had already mastered it and gradually promoted it to the whole city.
The leaders ate the food they had never tasted before, and were very glad for the decision they had made on the city wall. For these delicious foods, it was worth joining the Han tribe. They really hoped that they could eat these every day in the future.
During the meal, the leaders also took the initiative to ask about the relocation. As long as there was time, Luo Chong also made arrangements for them.
"In another seven or eight days, the rice in Hanyang City will be ripe. It will be the busy farming season again. It will probably take another month to plant the second season's grain.
You have also planted a lot of rice, only half a month later than Hanyang City, so at the end of this month, on the day of the full moon, your rice will also be harvested. Those are grains that have been planted for several months. Wait until the grain is harvested before moving in, don't waste it.
I will also make preparations to receive you in advance in Hanyang City and make some houses for you. Those who want to stay can stay, and those who don't want to move to the new city area. Oh, by the way, the Sharp Horned Tribe can start moving when we go back. You don't plant grains, you specialize in raising antelopes.
This time when I go back, I will send a general flag of troops to follow you to ensure that those high-nosed antelopes can be driven here smoothly." Luo Chong arranged for them.
"Yes, leader, I understand. When I go back this time, I will start preparing for the move." The leader of the Sharp Horned Tribe answered seriously.
"Well, that's good. You other tribes can also take advantage of the time when the rice is not ripe to start packing up and prepare to move to the Han tribe next month." Luo Chong said to them loudly.
