Chapter 523 A Bold Plan (Please vote and subscribe)
How to reply to them? Luo Chong has not thought about it yet, but he has an immature idea, that is, to try to establish diplomatic relations with the Xin tribe. Since the Xin tribe can come to the Han tribe as an envoy, then the Han tribe can also be an envoy to the Xin tribe.
Understanding should be mutual. Finding out the situation of the Xin tribe and establishing trade with them will definitely make the Han tribe a sure win. Even if there is no war between the two sides, Luo Chong is confident that he can actually control the other side with the economy, and the source of this confidence is naturally the currency issued by the Han tribe.
"This is a war without gunpowder and blood." Luo Chong thought so.
"I have to go and see how to reply. I will arrange the winemaking today and I will go and see tomorrow. You can go and do your own thing first."
Luo Chong sent Yun Zhi away and wrote down his own random wine koji formula on paper, as well as some ideas about cold and heat control, fermentation time, and workshop construction, hoping to provide some reference and research direction for the R&D team.
He still had so many things to manage that he had no time to focus on brewing. The construction of the new county, the resettlement of the people, the promotion of farming and breeding, the promotion of government management agencies and currency, and the negotiations with the Xin tribe, all needed Luo Chong to handle personally.
"The most tiring job in the world may be being an emperor." Luo Chong once again expressed the same emotion.
The next morning, while it was still relatively cool in the early morning, Luo Chong rode Huishan with his guard team to Liuyang County and arrived in the afternoon of the same day.
However, he did not go directly to meet Niuwei and others, but met with Dashu first and asked Dashu's opinion.
"Chief, I also think we can trade with them. There is no need for the two tribes to fight each other. It's not that we are afraid of the Xin tribe, but it's of no benefit to us.
Previously, Youfu took the lead in attacking the Xin tribe and stole a lot of crop seeds. I have always disagreed with this matter.
Although his original intention was good, he did not want to sell vehicles to the Xin tribe, fearing that they would learn the technology of car manufacturing and catch up with our tribe. He also wanted the other party to stop the white salt trade on the grassland and safeguard the interests of our tribe.
But I still think he is too impulsive. There should be a better solution to this matter, so that we can get those seeds, avoid conflicts, and make some benefits from it.
Starting a war may be the worst way." Dashu said very seriously.
"Well, you and I think the same thing. Although Youfu's intentions are good, his methods are indeed a bit rough. Maybe he is in another place and has seen so many tribes, so he still thinks that our Han tribe is the most powerful. He is a little inflated psychologically. He always thinks that the Han tribe is invincible and is not afraid of anyone.
In fact, it is not so easy to fight. Money and food are needed everywhere. Not only is it very consuming, but a large number of young laborers will be withdrawn, which will also affect the production of our Han tribe. This is the biggest loss.
There may be no way before, but it is different now. We have money and the right to issue currency. In this way, even if all our tribes are engaged in production and do not fight, we can use the economy to control the Xin tribe. , and it can also drive the development of the Han tribe headquarters, which is much more cost-effective than fighting.
The Xin tribe is different from the cannibals. They are not crazy, so there is no need to kill them all. Moreover, they have such a large population, which is a huge market. If the two sides can trade, the Han tribe will definitely make a lot of money. It’s just that the distance is a bit far, which affects the trading time of both sides. "
Luo Chong also expressed his own views. The two exchanged opinions and both believed that they should maintain trade relations with each other. However, if they want to do this, they must send an envoy to the Xin tribe, stay in the Xin tribe, supervise and protect the rights and interests of the Han tribe merchants in the Xin tribe, and negotiate with their superiors if something happens.
However, this is the power that remains on the surface. There are also people hidden in the dark. Luo Chong did not say it. It is not that he does not trust Dashu, but he thinks that the fewer people who should know about this matter, the better. That is to set up a spy department that is both internal and external, send spies to the Xin tribe, infiltrate their inner circle, and cooperate with the work of the mission on the surface.
Jinyiwei, this is an old-fashioned but very loud name. It is the most successful spy department in history, but in fact many people do not know that this department is not just as simple as internal corruption. It also lurks and detects foreign forces. Such cases are also everywhere, such as the Tatar tribe lurking in the grassland, providing various military intelligence for the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains.
Luo Chong also wants to set up such an organization, but he has to change the name. He does not have brocade clothes yet, but he has armor, so let's call it Jinwuwei.
On the surface, this is a military group whose purpose is to protect the leader of the Han tribe, that is, Luo Chong. The daily work is to protect Luo Chong's safety, as well as the ceremonial guards of Luo Chong's travel, etc., and also includes the guard work of the imperial palace and other forbidden gardens. However, there is no imperial palace yet, so this work is saved for the time being.
Secretly, this is also the largest official spy organization of the Han tribe. It is also divided into two branches, internal and external. Internally, it monitors officials at all levels, including some big families, powerful people, and even domestic counter-espionage work.
Externally, he also has to send a large number of undercover personnel to various forces to collect all kinds of intelligence on the other side for the Han tribe, good or bad, as long as it is useful.
And Luo Chong has already thought of the first candidate for this department, that is, Yi, who is currently working as a small foreman under Da Zui in the Hanyang City Iron and Steel Workshop.
This is a young man, about 1.75 meters tall, not yet 20 years old, only a little older than Luo Chong.
Others may have forgotten who this person is, but Luo Chong has never forgotten.
Yi was a savage who was driven out of the tribe. He was also one of the more than 100 savages who were brought in to exchange an ox cart with Luo Chong when the You tribe had not yet joined the Han tribe.
At that time, this guy's arm had been dislocated for a long time. Luo Chong personally straightened his bones and restored his position, otherwise his arm would definitely be useless.
It was for this reason that Yi was very loyal to Luo Chong and never said anything against Luo Chong's orders. He did whatever he was told to do. He was one of the first people to participate in the construction of Hanyang City. After his injury healed, he was arranged by Luo Chong to work in the metallurgical workshop as a blacksmith because of his intelligence and strength.
The reason for choosing this person was, first of all, because he had no background in the Han tribe. He was a savage who didn't even have his own clan. His background was very clean, but this person was absolutely loyal to Luo Chong, which was the most critical point. Secondly, this guy was very smart, had fighting ability, and was also a blacksmith. Those who could become craftsmen were relatively smart people in the Han tribe. Luo Chong also had confidence that he could manage these things and complete the tasks he assigned to him.
With the people and the organization, it is not difficult to lurk. Luo Chong plans to let these people go to Liuyang County to work as migrant workers after gathering the first batch of people. They will start to contact the delegation of Xin Tribe, and then when the delegation of Xin Tribe leaves, they will pretend to return to the tribe. In fact, they are valued by Niu Wei and recruited into Xin Tribe as technical backbones to improve the manufacturing technology of Xin Tribe.
As long as these people show a little bit of technology, they can get the trust of the top leaders of Xin Tribe and will definitely be entrusted with important tasks. If more and more such lurking personnel infiltrate, Luo Chong is even confident that he can launch a coup in Xin Tribe, change his ways, defeat the original old forces, and directly turn the entire Xin Tribe into his own possession.
Of course, the premise of this plan is that the executor must be a diehard member of Luo Chong, and no matter how bad he is, he must be loyal to Han Tribe. Otherwise, in the end, the old forces of Xin Tribe will be gone, and it will be embarrassing for these agents to defect and directly establish themselves as kings.
