Chapter 1096 As long as there is desire, it is not difficult to control
the three mines in Chengkang County and Qi'an County are the cornerstones of the southern industry. Their importance is self-evident, so this time we brought more mining technicians.
In addition to them, there are also a group of people from the steel mill and rolling mill in Xingang County. These people's positions are all matched. There are technical backbones, interns who have just been regularized, and old workers. As long as the factory is built and the raw materials are delivered to the right place, people can be pulled in and work can start immediately.
In addition, there are technicians from the coking plant. They are also a whole team of people, and they can start work as soon as they are pulled in.
However, they have just come here, and the most important goal now is to settle them down first.
In Qi'an County, many red brick houses have been built in the urban area. They were all built by the workers of the Baiwu tribe. They were built but no one lived in them. Now people have finally come.
The Han tribe has a lot of experience in building houses, and now the new batch of houses in Qi'an County are different from the original ones.
Each household has its own door and yard. The square yard is 50 meters long and 50 meters wide, which is 16.6 meters x 16.6 meters in meters. Under normal circumstances, if you build it all the way to the end, you can build a row of five main rooms. However, the Han tribe only built four main rooms for each household, a simple dry toilet, and a kitchen on the side of the door. In addition, each family also dug a pressure well, which completely eliminated the trouble of going outside to fetch water.
As for other places, they are still empty.
This part of the open space is left for each family to play freely. If there are many children or elderly people living in the family, you can also build a few side rooms to live in.
If the family needs to raise livestock, you can also build a few sheds or pig pens and corrals in the south room.
The yard of 50 meters long and wide is definitely large enough. Even if you build a circle of quadrangles, you can leave a lot of open space in the middle as a yard. In addition, every household now has a pressure well and sewer, so life is very convenient.
Especially for the well press, first of all, it has no wellhead, so there is no need to worry about children or livestock falling into the well. Secondly, there is no need to run out to fetch water, even some elderly people or children can easily get water.
In addition, the Han tribe has begun to promote the planting of potatoes. If you want to store potatoes or vegetables and fruits, you can also dig a cellar in the yard. If it were in the old Hanyang City, the entire city was so small, and you still wanted to dig a cellar? That's really just a thought.
When Luo Chong followed You Fu, Gu Ji, and Tian Hong, and came here with a group of technicians and workers, those Baiwu tribe members who were still working in the city were stunned.
Luo Chong clearly saw fear, envy, anger, and a strong sense of inferiority in their eyes. In short, the Baiwu tribe members were in a very complicated mood.
They built houses here every day, and they could eat three meals a day, with meat and vegetables every meal, and lived a life that they never dared to dream of before.
In the Baiwu tribe, they had no strong and light cloth to make clothes, and they lived in small houses built of stones, which were not as big as the pig pens of the Han tribe. They ate either roasted potatoes or wild vegetables and berries every day. Occasionally, they could eat meat, which was worth a few days of happiness.
But when they came to the Han tribe, they had clothes, they learned to tie their hair, they put on shoes, and they began to greet each other with a bow.
They learned from the Han tribe how to build houses with bricks and cement, how to put tiles on the roof,
and they watched the carpenters of the Han tribe install windows and doors on those houses. Have they not imagined that one day they could live in such a house with their families? !
However, when Luo Chong came here with a group of technicians and workers, they knew that their dreams were finally shattered.
They were just working for the Han tribe. They knew that these houses were built for the people of the Han tribe, but when this day finally came, they still couldn't help feeling disappointed.
They envied the status of the people of the Han tribe. They were jealous that they could not live in such a house. They were angry that these houses that they built brick by brick were eventually occupied by others.
At the same time, they were so inferior.
The Han tribe was such a powerful tribe. What was their small Baiwu tribe in front of the Han tribe?
Gu Ji and Tian Hong also discovered the abnormal situation of their people. They knew very well what those people were thinking, and even felt the same way. In fact, they had the opportunity to let their people live such a life, but when Luo Chong really invited them, they hesitated again.
They didn't know whether it was right or wrong, and whether joining the Han tribe would harm their people. But until this moment, they found that the people's requirements seemed so simple. They only needed a house of five feet long and wide, a few rooms, and a life like the Han tribe.
The two silently left the team and returned to their people. They began to comfort them in a low voice, but the people of the Baiwu tribe were still in a bad mood. Even the children who usually liked to play seemed to have found something wrong and kept asking their parents.
"Dad, Mom, who are those people? Why did they enter the house we built?"
The child's parents were very upset when they heard this, but they still said, "Those are people from the Han tribe who moved here to live. The houses we built are for them."
"Oh," the child looked eagerly at the people who followed Luo Chong.
They walked into the yard one by one to check the situation inside, walked into the house to look at the sunshine outside, and discussed with their companions what kind of sheepfold to build in the yard in the future, and what kind of furniture to buy in the house, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
The Han tribe provided very good benefits to this group of technicians who migrated south. Houses were allocated, jobs were stable, and fields would be redistributed here according to their titles.
Even if they wanted to renovate the allocated yard, the Han tribe would provide building materials free of charge, but there were no workers. If they wanted to build a new house, they could only ask someone to help build it. If it was just to build a sheepfold, they could do it themselves, but with the help of neighbors and colleagues, it was not a big deal. Everyone just helped each other.
After everyone had looked at the house, Luo Chong said to You Fu, "The house is well built. Count the units they belong to and divide them up. If there are any special requirements or those who don't obey the assignment, make other arrangements. If the conditions are not excessive, satisfy them and let them settle down as soon as possible, and then organize them to build the factory."
You Fu nodded, "That's no problem. The houses are ready, and there is plenty of food. This year, the slave corps harvested a lot of food from the land they planted. For the time being, Chengkang County and Qi'an County can be self-sufficient in food. Even if it's not enough, we can plant more potatoes. That thing tastes good. Except that it can't be preserved for a long time, everything else is OK."
After You Fu agreed to this matter, Luo Chong glanced at the workers of the White House tribe around him, and then whispered.
"See, these people are emotional."
How could You Fu not see it? He has been in contact with these people of the White House tribe for a longer time. How can he not see what they are like in normal times and what they are like now?
"What does the leader mean? Does the leader want to..."
"Eh? What can I mean?" Luo Chong waved his hand to stop him from guessing and explained.
"Actually, this is very good. As long as they have desires in their hearts, it will not be difficult for us to control them. What we are afraid of is the kind of people who have no desires. Obviously, we have everything here, and our lives are thousands of times better than theirs, but they still have to go back to live a hard life. Then we really have no choice but to use force to solve it."
You Fu thought about it and it was true. As long as they have what you want, it will be easy to deal with. Can the Han tribe still lack that little thing? What we are afraid of is that they have no desires. As the saying goes, no desires make you strong, and in the end it is the most difficult to deal with.
"What are you going to do, chief?" You Fu nodded with relief and asked again.
"After we've settled down here, go talk to Gu Ji and Tian Hong and tell them that I want to visit their tribesmen and thank them for their help to our Han tribe. Also, please prepare some gifts for me. They don't have to be too expensive. Cloth, cooking utensils and the like will be fine. Just take whatever is practical.
"Also, are there any farms here? Prepare some livestock and meat. Tomorrow we will go to the old tribe of the Baiwu tribe to visit the remaining people. By the way, we will take our technicians to investigate the hematite mine and see how to develop it." Luo Chong whispered again.
"Okay, I'll do it right away. "You Fu agreed and turned away.
When it was almost lunchtime, the technicians and workers who had migrated south had completed the level of the new houses, and all of them had been allocated houses. As for the subsequent renovation work, they could take their ID cards and house deeds to the local government office to apply. The Han tribe would still be able to meet their needs for building materials, except that they would not be given them. However, the tribe would take back the houses they had lived in in the north, and then allocate them to others to live in.
On the other side, You Fu also prepared the things according to Luo Chong's instructions, and called Gu Ji and Tian Hong over again.
"Han leader, are you going to visit our people?" Gu Ji and Tian Hong were still a little surprised. They didn't expect Luo Chong to attach so much importance to them. They thought that Luo Chong, as the leader of the huge Han tribe, would look down on the Baiwu tribe, but they didn't expect the fact to be just the opposite.
"Yes, I want to visit the people of your tribe and thank you for your tribe's help to the Han tribe. The people I brought like these houses very much. This is all your credit. As the leader of the Han tribe, since I'm here, I should naturally thank you in person on behalf of my people. "Luo Chong said nice words, and his expression looked very sincere.
These words moved Gu Ji and Tian Hong so much. They didn't expect that the leader of the Han tribe was such a sentimental person. No wonder so many tribes would take the initiative to join the Han tribe.
It is said that You Fu was also a tribal leader at that time. At that time, the Han tribe was not too big and there was not even a city. You Fu met Luo Chong and made the plan to take the initiative to join the Han tribe after just a few contacts.
It must be said that Luo Chong must have been partly responsible.
If Luo Chong was not easy to get along with, would so many leaders be willing to join him?
It was not time for dinner yet, and Luo Chong did not go directly to see the people of the Baiwu tribe. Now they were all still working and relatively scattered. It was impossible for Luo Chong to comfort them one by one on the construction site.
While there was still some time, Luo Chong called Xiaodie and Zhan Ying over, and brought Xiao Luocheng and Luo Lan, two children, to appear in front of the Baiwu tribe as a family. In front of the people, this way, he can appear more friendly and not put too much pressure on them.
After all, this is a condolence, not a show of force.
When it was time for dinner, the people who were working had gathered together. Everyone suddenly saw Luo Chong and his family appear in front of them. They were a little excited, surprised, and at a loss.
It was really that Luo Chong's family was dressed too differently. Ordinary Han tribe people still wore linen clothes and cotton clothes, but Luo Chong's family was so good, with neatly dressed silk brocade, standing in the sun and shining, how could it not attract attention?
The men were tall and handsome, and the women were all beautiful. Of course, they were beautiful in Luo Chong's eyes. As for the aesthetic concept of the Baiwu tribe, Luo Chong didn't know.
There were also Luo Chong's two children, a boy and a girl, who were white and clean, and looked like porcelain dolls. Looking at the children of the Baiwu tribe, many of them were only wearing simple robes, which looked as simple as a hole in a sack. This contrast was immediately revealed.
"People, please be quiet for
a moment. The leader of the Han tribe is here today. He knows that our people are working for the Han tribe, so he came to see us and brought us gifts. Everyone, come and welcome him." Upon hearing this, the Baiwu tribe members immediately started to discuss, but they spoke in a low voice. They didn't know why the leader of the Han tribe came to see people from their small tribe and even brought them gifts. However, for the sake of the gifts, everyone still gave him face.
Everyone bowed and greeted Luo Chong's family, saying all kinds of things. Maybe they didn't know how to greet the leader of the Han tribe. After all, they were from two different worlds, so how could they have any intersection.
Luo Chong had also asked You Fu to prepare things. Today's lunch was a snack, with a lot more meat. He also prepared some straw hats, cloth, towels and other small gifts for them. In addition, he prepared a lot of lollipops, which were also for adults and children.
It wasn't a lot, but everyone had one. There were less than 2,000 people working in the Han tribe, so Luo Chong could still take out this little candy.
