Chapter 446 The Past of the Yu Tribe
"Of course not. It is not that troublesome to annex you. If I want, I just need to mobilize all my tribesmen once, and you know what the result will be." Luo Chong spread his hands to show his innocence, and then continued.
"You should have seen that there are many people in our Han tribe, and they are still increasing. One city cannot meet our survival requirements at all, so we built two more cities on the east bank of the river, but that is not enough. Now we need to build a fourth one. The location is at the place that Shu Da and his men measured a few days ago. It is still a distance away from you. You should know this. It will not affect your life. This is the real purpose of sending him there.
You don't have to feel that there is anything wrong, because before we chose that place, we didn't know that you had moved there to live. There is one thing that Shu Da did not lie to you. The place you live in now is really abandoned by us before, and we will go to the forest there every year, otherwise we would not know that the place is suitable for building a city." Luo Chong explained in detail.
This explanation was not useless. At least Luo Chong himself thought so. For these surrounding tribes, he had always maintained a peaceful way to get them to join voluntarily. He could certainly rob the Han tribe, but it was basically impossible to make the captured captives loyal and obedient.
There was no problem with rapid growth, but there were too many hidden dangers. Not only did they have to worry about construction every day, but they also had to worry about rebellion from below. In other words, even if the Han tribe really captured a group of people, the work efficiency between voluntarily working and being forced to work was simply different. So it was best to solve it peacefully if possible without resorting to force. Otherwise, Luo Chong would not have explained so much to him and could have just sent troops to destroy them.
After listening to Luo Chong's explanation, Yu Tu Muran remembered that Shu Da and his men were running around the river with sticks and ropes a few days ago. It turned out that they were measuring the land at that time!
Yu Tu realized it later and began to think. The leader of the Han tribe was right. They were indeed newcomers and occupied the abandoned settlement. The Han tribe did not know they moved there when they chose the site. This explanation was fine. They could not be blamed. The Han tribe did not do it on purpose.
After thinking this through, there was only one problem left. They could not stop the Han tribe from building a city. Opposition would lead to death. But if the Han tribe's city was really built next to their settlement, would it be a good thing or a bad thing? Should their tribe help them build the city? What consequences would it have for their tribe? Yu Tu immediately fell into thinking. Obviously, once they
were so close to the Han tribe's city, they would inevitably live together. After all, they lived by the river, drank water together, and were close to the same forest. They also cut wood together. It was just unknown whether the Han tribe would hunt. If they did, there might be disputes over the ownership of the prey.
No, that was not right. There were so many people in the Han tribe. If there was a fart dispute, it was estimated that if their large number of hunters were scattered, the Yu tribe's hunting team would not be able to get anything.
But living with the Han tribe has obvious benefits. At least they don't have to worry about salt, they can exchange it directly with them, and other daily necessities can also be exchanged. It's just that it will be troublesome to eat meat in the future. In addition to the fact that forking fish in the river will not cause disputes, it is estimated that they will not have a share of animals in the forest. Fortunately, they can grow taro, otherwise even food will be a problem.
The taro tribe was immediately in a dilemma and didn't know what to choose. There were nearly 500 people in their tribe, which was considered a large tribe. They were living well, so why did they move north? It was because others coveted the salty stone mine they discovered.
That group of idiots gathered several tribes to compete with them for the salty stone mine, and beat their tribe of more than 700 people to less than 500 now, and directly lost 200 fresh troops, which was enough to form a small or medium-sized tribe.
It was impossible to continue to guard the place. If they continued to hold on, the entire tribe would be wiped out sooner or later. So Yu Tu had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead the entire tribe to abandon the territory where they had lived for generations and migrate north. They also gave up the salty stone mine. They only took away the batch they had mined before, and let the other tribes take the rest. Although they were having a lot of fun together at that time, they would beat people's brains into dog brains when the Yu tribe left and divided the benefits.
But now, the migration road is not easy. They paid the price of dozens of lives. They finally walked so far and moved here. They have just been here for half a year. They rebuilt their homes with the help of the survivors, reclaimed the fields, and planted fruits. Just when they were planning to recuperate here from now on, they met an outrageously strong neighbor.
The neighbor was not bad, but after all, he was not of the same tribe as them. It was impossible for him to give up his own interests for others. From the perspective of the Han tribe, they were indeed outsiders.
What should we do now? Try to live in harmony with this powerful neighbor? Or stay away from them and migrate again?
"No, we can't do this. We can't move again."
Yu Tu warned himself in his heart. It was early autumn now. If they moved again at this time, they would definitely not be able to find a safe place to spend the winter before winter. By then, there would be insufficient food, insufficient animal skins, and no houses to shelter from the wind and keep warm. Their entire tribe would starve to death or freeze to death for various reasons. This was a result that he, as the leader, absolutely did not want to see.
But if they didn't move away, Yu Tu was in a very tangled thought next to the powerful Han tribe.
However, Luo Chong was not in a hurry. He didn't expect the other party to bow down to him the first time he saw him. Everything has a process, right? Why did Shu Da bring them here at this time? Wasn't it to show them how powerful and rich the Han tribe was? Now they knew how powerful it was, but they had never seen how rich it was.
What is the most important thing in this era? If you ask ten people this question, I guess all ten of them will say food. That's right, only by having enough food can you save a life in this era. Luo Chong and Shu Da reached a tacit agreement on their ideas.
Tomorrow I will take them to see the rice harvest, and let them taste the rice and delicacies of the Han tribe. Then I will let them see the farming and the large livestock reserves of the Han tribe. I will show off my wealth and brag about it. If I don't fool them, I will lose, Luo Chong thought to himself, and then he spoke.
"You don't have to make a decision so quickly. You can stay in the Han tribe for a few days and see our lifestyle. The people of the Han tribe have no ill intentions. Even if we become neighbors, it will only be beneficial."
