Chapter 942: The Han tribe is never satisfied.
Ye Ying and Mo Xin successfully connected with the support team with the Qiao family's migration team. The team was supplemented with personnel and food, and with more carriages, the team moved faster.
Because they had food and did not have to go out hunting, they traveled very smoothly in the second half of the journey. It took less than three days to successfully reach the large construction site of the capital's palace.
When everyone arrived, it was still the morning of the same day, and the construction site was busy.
At this time, the construction site of the palace could not see any magnificent momentum, only a large field with no one.
Two thousand Jinwuwei soldiers organized three thousand slaves, who were constantly digging soil, loading it, transporting it to the front of the palace, and then unloading the soil.
Repeating the same work over and over again, they had to dig an artificial lake at the location of the Taiye Lake in the harem, and then use the soil dug from the artificial lake to pad the foundations of the various halls of the front dynasty.
This is a low-level task with a very low difficulty, but a huge amount of work.
In fact, only 3,000 people were far from enough, but the Han tribe had no other choice now. They didn't have an excavator. If the job was to be done by an excavator, two excavators and a team of dump trucks would probably take at most a month to complete.
Fortunately, they didn't have anything else to do now. All kinds of building materials were not in place yet. What else could they do besides building the foundation and digging an artificial lake? !
However, the people of the Qiao family looked at this huge construction site, and then looked back at the sand table model installed on the car, and they knew the madness of the Han tribe.
They were really not kidding. The Han tribe actually got thousands of people here to build a temple for their leader.
Well, maybe such a magnificent palace is no different from a temple in their eyes.
Thousands of slaves were honestly digging the soil on the ground not far away, and then loaded the ordinary soil onto the carriage, and then pulled it to the front court. More than a thousand slaves unloaded the soil and used it to pile up the temple in their hearts.
There were no less than 500 carriages carrying earthworks on the construction site. The ten carriages used to carry the Qiao family's migration team were transferred from these carriages.
"Ye Ying, where are we going now?"
Looking at the huge construction site in front of him, the leader of the hunting team, Qiao Yan, looked at his elders, and suddenly became nervous.
The Han tribe brought them here. Wouldn't they force them to work for the Han tribe like slaves? Wouldn't they all die of exhaustion here? !
God knows whether such a large temple can be built in a lifetime. Maybe they can't even use a normal person's lifetime and die of exhaustion.
As if knowing the other party's thoughts, Ye Ying smiled and explained.
"Don't worry, I'll take you to see the steward here first, that is, our Jinwu Guard's You Commander. After you meet him, he will arrange a place for you to live in the future and a piece of land for you to cultivate." "
Oh? So that's the case. Then can we go to the farmland given to us today?" Qiao Yan continued to ask nervously, fearing that Ye Ying was lying to them.
"Don't worry, since you have chosen to join our Han tribe, you are the citizens of our Han tribe, the people of our Han tribe. You are different from those people. Do you know who they are?" Ye Ying comforted them while pointing to the slaves who were sweating and digging in the hot sun not far away.
"No, I don't know. Who are they? Why does the Han tribe treat them like this?" Qiao Yan also looked at the group of slaves curiously.
"They are not human. This is a race that specializes in hunting for their own kind for food, a race that specializes in cannibalism for fun. These bastards wanted to attack our Han tribe and hunt our people before. Later, after the leader led his troops to defeat them, they captured these guys and demoted them to lifelong slaves, doing the hardest and most tiring work for the Han tribe until they died of exhaustion."
After listening to Ye Ying's explanation and gestures, the elders of the Qiao family and Qiao Yan couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.
"Is there such a brutal tribe in the world? They enjoy preying on their own kind? Such people are not worthy of being born as human beings." The elders and Qiao Yan were indignant at the slaves at the same time.
Ye Ying curled his lips and spread his hands, "Their current fate is not much better than those working animals, but in order to make these guys do more work, we still have to provide them with food. Let them work hard for the Han tribe for a lifetime, which can be regarded as washing away the sins they have committed."
After listening to Ye Ying's explanation this time, the elders of the You Qiao family and Qiao Yan finally felt relieved and relaxed.
Yes, just as Ye Ying said, they took the initiative to join the Han tribe, and they were all normal human tribes, without any special hobbies of preying on their own kind for fun. There was no reason for the Han tribe to treat them the same as those inhumane slaves. First
, take the You Qiao family to the dining area of the Jinwu Guard Camp to rest for a while, and then Ye Ying asked them to wait here first, and he would call You Zhi to come to see them.
This operation was also to take care of their nervous and sensitive mood. If Qiao Yan and the elders of the Qiao family left their tribe and went to meet You Zhi alone at this time, they would definitely think that the Han tribe was deliberately sending them away so that they could send soldiers to take their people away by force? !
But now let them gather together and wait, and then let You Zhi come to see them specifically. This not only shows that the Han tribe has no intention of harming them, but also attaches great importance to them.
Qiao Yan and the elders nodded and agreed, and then checked the situation of their own people while looking at the surrounding environment.
After a while, You Zhi came over specially to visit this group of wild merits that were "picked up" by his soldiers.
Because there was no need to fight, You Zhi did not wear armor, but only wore a more slim crimson military uniform, followed by two personal soldiers, and walked over so casually.
Ye Ying hurriedly led the way and introduced both parties.
"Commander You, this is the elder of the Qiao clan. This is the captain of their hunting team, Qiao Yan. You can just call him Yan. Elder Yan, this is our Commander You. He is the one who manages everyone in this entire camp."
Because the elders and Yan didn't understand the control and military system of the Han tribe at all, Ye Ying had to introduce it in a simple and rough way to let the other party know that in this area, You Zhi's words were the most effective.
The elders and Yan were also surprised to see You Zhi. They didn't expect that You Zhi was so young, but he already had such a high position and power in the Han tribe. He managed thousands of people. If they had the Qiao's base camp, the one who could manage thousands of people would probably have to be a figure at the level of the chief elder of the tribal headquarters, but there was no such a young chief elder.
This You Zhi, he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old? !
Although this age was considered an adult in this era, and some even had several children, he still looked too young.
"Chief Envoy!" The elders and Qiao Yan didn't dare to neglect him. Knowing that this person was young but powerful, they quickly called You Zhi the chief envoy as Mo Xin had said before, and then clasped their fists to You Zhi in a proper manner, which was also the simplest etiquette of the Han tribe.
"Well, you two are welcome. I have listened to the reports from my subordinates. You have come from afar and made a special trip to join our Han tribe. It is really hard work.
"Since you have now agreed to voluntarily join the Han tribe, we will definitely properly settle you here.
"How about this, since you don't have a place to live for the time being, how about living with our military camp first? I can send someone to take you to the selected residential area nearby today, and then I will arrange for someone to lead you to build your own house. After your house is built, how about moving there together?
"Of course, if you want to go there now, there is no problem. I will send someone to give you half a year's food. You build the house first. I will also contact people to register your household registration, distribute land, seeds and farm tools, and also relocate immigrants to live with you, so as to teach you various production skills of the Han tribe and let you live a stable life. What do you think? "
In order to reassure the other party, You Zhi took the lead in telling them his resettlement method.
There are two ways. One is to live in the military camp first, eat with the Jinwu Guards, and move in after the house is built. The other is to go directly. The Han tribe will give them half a year's food, and then they will build houses and cultivate land by themselves. When they have their own output, the Han tribe will be able to recover the capital invested in them.
The elders and Qiao Yan didn't think about it and immediately chose the second one. Living under someone else's roof and eating other people's food every day, they always have a feeling that their lives are in someone else's hands; although the second one also eats the food given by others, they can keep the food in their own hands, so they will feel more at ease.
You Zhi was not surprised by Qiao's choice. Anyway, he could accept both ways. It doesn't matter.
"Okay, then it's settled. You stay here for lunch today. After dinner, I'll let Ye Ying take you to the residence, and bring food, craftsmen and building tools.
"As for the style of the house, let's build it according to the rammed earth adobe house. Measure the size of the yard, give each family enough homestead, and each family can first build an adobe thatched house to live in, and leave the space for the main house empty, and settle everyone down first.
"We will definitely build a brick kiln in our capital in the second half of the year. When we have bricks, those of you who want to build a brick house can buy bricks and build it yourself.
"I have already contacted the prefect of Takuhai County and asked him to assign you minor officials and farming supplies, as well as immigrants to teach them. By the time you finish building the house, the immigrants and supplies will be almost here."
You Zhi was talking about his arrangements, and Ye Ying was relaying them to them with gestures. When the elders and Qiao Yan understood what You Zhi meant, they immediately thanked him profusely. This resettlement plan was most to their liking.
They had traveled through mountains and rivers for such a long time and were exhausted. Now they wanted to find a new home and settle down peacefully. They wanted to learn the planting skills of the Han tribe as soon as possible, so as to lay a foundation for their future continuation.
After the two sides exchanged polite words, You Zhi spoke to them again.
"Since you are already familiar with Ye Ying, I will let Ye Ying handle the follow-up matters for you. Do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, okay, if he comes, it will be great." The elder and Qiao Yan nodded immediately.
Seeing that Qiao agreed, You Zhi looked at Ye Ying again.
"Ye Ying, you should have no problem, right? If you get this done, I will give you another credit."
"No problem, just give your orders, Commander." Ye Ying also agreed quickly. This was definitely a good job. Not only could he be credited, but he could also build a good relationship with Qiao and others. If one or two of these people became prosperous in the future, wouldn't he also benefit from it?
Humans are social animals who live in groups. They can't avoid the ways of the world. Where can he find such a good job that can earn credit and favors?
After the resettlement plan for the Qiao family was completely finalized, You Zhi finally revealed the real purpose of his trip. He suddenly asked the elders of the Qiao family and Qiao Yan.
"You two, I don't know where your Qiao family is, and how long it took you to travel here?
"I heard from Ye Ying that you are just a branch of the Qiao family. How many people are there in your entire tribe? Do these people still survive by hunting and gathering?"
After listening to Ye Ying's retelling, the elders and Qiao Yan looked at each other. They had already guessed about this situation in their hearts. In front of them was the Han tribe with a large population. They were still planning to take advantage of the remaining people of the Qiao family. The appetite of the Han tribe was very big, and it seemed that they would never be satisfied with the current scale.
Faced with such a situation, the elders asked directly.
"May I ask the chief envoy, do you want to absorb the remaining people of the Qiao family into the Han tribe? "
They thought You Zhi might pretend and say something like helping all sentient beings in the world, but who would have thought that You Zhi would admit it directly.
"That's right. The Han tribe is fully capable of absorbing and managing more people. Our leader is also the common ruler of the world sent by God. He has the ability to lead everyone to live a good life, so that the people have food and clothing, and don't have to worry about any enemies.
"Besides, the Han tribe has a variety of crops to grow. Do you still want to live a good life here without worrying about food and clothing, while letting your former compatriots continue to starve and suffer?"
