Chapter 395: The First Public Security Case (Please vote and subscribe)
It was a great surprise that there were lotus roots in the Ling tribe. Isn't it a good thing to have one more food? Moreover, it was such a nutritious thing. Although it was not convenient to store, it could be processed into lotus root powder. In addition, after the soybean harvest, it would be delicious to drink soy milk and lotus root powder every morning.
Luo Chong carefully wrote this down, and waited to talk about the lotus root transaction later, and asked Chief Chai to continue to report the situation.
"After we sowed the seeds, in the half month before we planted the rice seedlings, we also studied the waterfowl breeding that the chief had mentioned. It should be possible, but it is not something that can be done in one or two months. I have told them the method, and the specifics are up to them.
I followed the chief's instructions and asked them to tie bamboo fences into the water where lotus roots grew to the west and south of the settlement, marking out an area for waterfowl breeding. They also sent men out to catch live waterfowl with hemp nets, and also the bird eggs hidden in the bushes.
However, the nets were a little small at the beginning, so few were caught, and the fences were not strong enough. After planting, they only caught more than 20 until we came back.
Later, when the seedlings grew up, we taught them how to plant and manage them, and then we came back directly.
This time, we also brought back some bamboo woven items from the Ling tribe, all of which were baskets, bamboo hats, and mats. Among them, the mats were the most, and most of them were unprocessed bamboos, which were used to replace this batch of our support items, a few axes, hemp nets, farm tools, and the grain seeds we gave. Well, that's all for now.
However, chief, aren't we at a disadvantage in this way? Just those bamboos have exchanged so many of our things, it always feels not worth it. "Chief Chai said hesitantly.
"Well, you did a good job. As for whether we will suffer losses or not, we should not only focus on the gains and losses in front of us. We should take a long-term view. Take those bamboos for example. We definitely need them very much, but can we spare the manpower to do this now?
Send people to defeat them and then occupy the settlement? This is a bad idea. We can obviously use their own people to help us work. Why do we have to do it ourselves? Look at how many houses we have to build. After the houses are built, it will be the autumn harvest. We also have to prepare a lot of winter supplies. How can we have time to do this
? These are all immediate benefits. In the long run, when they raise ducks, we can continuously obtain important supplies such as meat, duck eggs, and feathers, and there are more kinds of bamboo products, which are all what we need. Besides, those tools and seeds are not valuable things in our Han tribe. We can get as many as we want." Luo Chong analyzed to the two of them.
"Yes, chief, I understand." The two answered in unison.
"Well, Chief Chai, since you have established a good relationship with the Ling tribe and they are more familiar with you, then you will be responsible for the transactions with the Ling tribe in the future. Mainly, you will use their bamboo products and lotus roots to exchange for tools and white salt with us. The specific prices can be directly referred to the previous market. In
addition, you should pay attention to asking them to make more mats. I want to put a bamboo mat on all the kangs in the Han tribe before this winter." Luo Chong knocked on the low table on the kang and said.
"Yes, Chief, I understand, and I will complete the task." Chief Chai stood up and replied.
"Well, there is nothing else. You can go and get the lotus roots, but you don't need too much."
“Yes.”
After Chief Chai left, Dashu also relaxed, took an ice cube from the ice basin beside Luo Chong and ate it, and complained to Luo Chong.
“Chief, things here are too difficult to manage. There are more and more people. Some of the small tribes that have joined our tribe are still operating on their own. A few days ago, two small tribes fought over the division of houses, and it was finally the Rat’s warriors who separated them.
I went to judge for them, but they still didn’t listen. They said I was not worthy and that I was not the leader. Before joining the Han tribe, there were only 30 people. I had no right to manage them. They wanted to find the leader to judge.
In the end, Rat was so angry that he asked the warriors to beat up a few of the leaders, and then they calmed down. But I think they may... I still feel dissatisfied. If I keep holding it in, something bad will happen sooner or later. It's just right that you, the leader, are here. You have great prestige. They joined the Han tribe because of you. Only you can control them, especially those former leaders. "
Luo Chong frowned. He was not surprised by this. The Han tribe absorbed population too quickly. It was normal for so many outsiders to have some conflicts. It would be a pity if they were all as honest as quails. As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. How could everyone be so honest?
But what he didn't expect was that things would happen so quickly. He thought that no matter what, he had to wait until the new city was completed and everyone had houses to live in and food to eat before these trivial things would happen. At that time, he would promote the construction of institutional management. But he didn't expect that these people would fight over houses just after a few houses were built. How long has it been a peaceful life? It's so worrying.
"What's the specific reason? Which tribe did the people who participated in the fight belong to? And who are those who you said were dissatisfied with you?" Luo Chong asked with a frown.
When Dashu heard that Luo Chong took this issue seriously, he immediately chewed the ice cubes into pieces, sat up straight and reported the situation to Luo Chong.
"The cause was this: a few days ago, after the last block of the new city was built, a member of the Bear Tribe and a member of the Thorn Tribe had a fight over a house near the entrance of the alley. The reason for the dispute was to be closer to the well at the entrance of the alley.
Later, the two fought to a draw, and there was no winner. So they simply called their former tribesmen to fight together. Then, neither side was willing to give in, and it ended up as a group fight.
Fortunately, they were afraid of making things too big, so they didn't dare to use weapons during the fight, so in the end it wasn't too serious. No one died, and no one was seriously injured, but a group of people were bruised and swollen.
When I came forward to mediate, the patriarchs of their two clans were also there, and the two of them were just about to roll up their sleeves and fight themselves. While I was talking, they both scolded me for not being qualified to manage them, as if they were wearing the same pants and I had become their enemy. In the end, Rat Da couldn't help it and asked the soldiers to beat them up."
