Chapter 1121 A more effective population absorption plan
At this time, Ye Ying was still in charge of supervising the work of slaves. He knew that the leader came to inspect in person, but what did this have to do with him, a small general flag?
Therefore, when he heard You Zhi's personal soldiers say that the leader wanted to summon him, Ye Ying seemed very confused, not knowing whether he had made a mistake or because of something else.
However, he did not dare to disobey the leader's order, and immediately set out to the engineering command center.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Luo Chong and others sitting at the top, and Ye Ying immediately clasped his fists and performed a military salute.
"Ye Ying, the general flag of the Jinwu Guard, greets the leader, the county governor, I wonder what the leader wants me to do?"
Luo Chong saw people coming, and he didn't hesitate, and asked directly.
"I have met Qiao Yan and their elders last night. The elders told me the location of the Qiao clan. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 people there.
"I plan to send people to absorb all these people into the Han tribe, but there is no suitable candidate yet.
"And your commander You Zhi recommended you to me. He said that you know the Youqiao clan better, and have a good relationship with Qiao Yan and the elder. If you go, things may be easier.
"So, are you willing to lead the team?"
Ye Ying was quite nervous at first, thinking that he had made some mistake, but when he heard what the leader said, he immediately became excited.
To win over the Youqiao clan to join the Han tribe? That would be a great achievement!
Commander You actually recommended himself to the leader?
Isn't this a great favor?!
He is just a small general flag now. If he can really handle this matter well, how can his position in the future be lower?
So Ye Ying's face turned red with excitement. He knelt on one knee in front of Luo Chong again, clasped his hands together and said excitedly, "Please rest assured, leader. Ye Ying is willing to lead the team and will bring back all the members of the Youqiao clan without leaving any behind. "
Luo Chong did not comment upon hearing this. He neither agreed nor said not to let him go. Instead, he asked Ye Ying.
"Since you are so confident, what will you do if I let you go?"
Ye Ying knew that the leader was testing him. Whether he could get this task depended on his ideas and methods. So he thought about it and said.
"In reply to the leader, the Qiao family has been constantly migrating people outward. What they are seeking is nothing more than the word 'survival'. They still rely on hunting and gathering to survive. They cannot gather the population in one place, so naturally they cannot produce and develop resources better.
"Just like Qiao Yan and the others did in the beginning, because they came here from afar because of the words 'There is a valley in the east that can survive ten thousand people.
' "Therefore, in my opinion, we should show them our advanced technology as much as possible.
"At the beginning, I can use the relationship of Qiao Yan and others to contact You Qiao clan, and then bring some treasures of Han tribe to them as gifts, but these grain seeds and livestock cannot be given to them for free, otherwise these people will get the seeds, learn the technology, and be able to be self-reliant, and they may not come.
"So I think we should first attract them with precious goods, then publicize our planting and breeding methods, and finally invite their clan leaders and others to come, let them see the prosperity of our Han tribe with their own eyes, and then bring everyone back, so that we can definitely catch the You Qiao clan in one fell swoop."
Luo Chong had no expression on his face after listening, and he couldn't say whether he was happy or not. What Ye Ying said was a routine that the Han tribe had used too much.
But the reason why the routine is called a routine is because it is classic enough and works every time. When more people use it, it naturally becomes a routine, just like the You Jiang clan at the beginning, who was also kidnapped back by You Fu in this way.
But Luo Chong didn't want to do this, because the process was too long.
First, we have to send people to look for them. After we find them, we have to give gifts to build relationships. After the two sides have established friendship, we have to bring the people back to visit the Han tribe. After the visit, we
can take people back to pick up the rest. Even if everything goes well, it will take several trips back and forth. After a little trouble, a year or two will pass. Therefore, Luo Chong does not want to do this. Luo Chong
thought about it and said.
"This is too troublesome, and we don't know whether the other party will join. Instead of going back and forth, why don't we be more straightforward."
Several people frowned in confusion when they heard this, not knowing what Luo Chong meant. You
Zhi couldn't help asking, "More straightforward? What does the leader mean?"
You Zhi couldn't figure it out. His two uncles used to do this when they pulled people in. Is there anything wrong?
Da Shu seemed to have thought of something and reacted immediately, so he asked tentatively.
"What the leader meant was that the Qiao clan was too poor, and they lacked production and living technology, which is just what we can use?!"
Luo Chong nodded with a smile upon hearing this. What about sending gifts, building relationships, inviting people to be guests, and persuading them to join.
The Qiao clan? Are they worthy?
What kind of tribes can make the Han tribe actively send gifts to contact them?
Just like the Jiang clan at the beginning, although their population was only more than 2,000 people, the Jiang clan had a high level of civilization. At that time, the Jiang clan could build houses, and the tribesmen gathered in villages to live. They could raise bees, grow crops, and have their own special crops.
Then there are the Tang tribes, which are even large tribes that can smelt metals.
When the Han tribe contacts such tribes, of course they must treat them with courtesy, but what about the Qiao clan?
They are just a group of savages who can only hunt and gather. How can they be treated in this way? !
You Zhi only understood half of what he heard, but he still didn't understand it very well. Da Shu said directly.
"What the chief means is that the Youqiao family is too poor. They have nothing. They can't even make pottery or produce salt. And they are troubled by the problem of overpopulation, so they have to migrate their population every year.
"Instead of going back and forth, it is better to buy their population with our goods directly, just like the Menggu Spring Festival when our Han tribe was first established, and buy as many as we can.
"After we buy these people back, we can use them immediately. We can directly migrate these people to various counties of the Han tribe and let them integrate into the tribe to learn production and life. Then we can dispatch some craftsmen or other talents from all over the place to let them build the capital and take root in the capital!
"As for the remaining people of the Youqiao family, when we have bought almost all of their population, we can slowly discuss the remaining people, whether we forcibly annex them or have other plans, because we have already obtained the population from there, and there is no need to be so anxious about the remaining people. "
After Dashu finished explaining, Youzhi and Ye Yingcai looked as if they had suddenly understood something, and they looked as if they had realized it. However, it was not their fault.
The practice of the Han tribe to increase its strength by purchasing population was a long time ago, and only veterans like Dashu knew the details.
Since the establishment of Hanyang City, the subsequent population absorbed were all attracted by the Han tribe using the labor market method to attract them to join voluntarily, so many people did not know about this history.
Youzhi was still young at that time, but he also vaguely remembered some of it. After listening to Dashu's explanation, he immediately reacted and couldn't help but praise.
"This is a good idea. Since they are so poor, we might as well buy the population directly. Anyway, they lack everything, and we have a lot of things. As long as we are willing to take out things to exchange, I don't believe they won't sell!
"The leader is still powerful. This method is the fastest to take effect. Whether they agree or not, let's buy a batch of people back and use them first!!!"
