Chapter 701 Jiang Chi of Takuhai County (seeking votes and subscriptions)
A new school needs to be established, and both campus and talents are indispensable. Luo Chong is preparing to build several new campuses, which will be built together with the new city.
The Han tribe has increased a lot of population in the past year. The counties outside the territory have increased in population, and the number of newborns in the counties inside the territory has also increased significantly.
Kaiyuan County has already recruited nearly 20,000 grassland herders, and the governor of Weishan County, Yun Zhi, has also fulfilled his promise of 50,000 people. Now he has finally recruited all the people, but it is said that there are still tribes around the lake that have not joined. Luo Chong has issued an order to continue to absorb the population.
Although the number of savages working in Liuyang County has decreased compared to before, there are still people who come to visit, and some of them have successfully become the people of the Han tribe.
Then there are the newly absorbed populations in Ruyang County and Hanyang County. They are all outside the territory of the Han tribe and have the opportunity to come into contact with unfamiliar tribes. Some of those tribes have chosen to join in the exchanges with the Han tribe, especially the counties under Hanyang County, which have recruited the most wild people. With the addition of newborns in the county town, the population of two counties has exceeded 10,000.
Dongxin County, which is far away, has also developed very well in Jing Yan's hands. Not only is the output of coal mines stable, but the grain output has also been not less last year. The newly absorbed population is also the largest, and the population of the entire county has exceeded 30,000.
However, this growth is also reasonable. After all, it is still an undeveloped virgin land, and there are many tribes that have not come into contact with the Han tribe. Even the Jiang family, which had a population of more than 2,000 before, was discovered on the east bank of the Liuyang River. It would not be rare to find a few similar large tribes.
Finally, there are the newly absorbed tribes of the survivors who have been taken in by Youye recently. The total population is more than 7,000, and it is still growing rapidly.
After a hasty statistics, the population of the Han tribe has increased by more than 100,000 in the past two years. With the original population and the new population, the total population of the tribe has exceeded 240,000 and is about to exceed 250,000.
In fact, there is a place whose population Luo Chong did not count, because they have not reported the specific situation yet. That is the temporary camp across the river from the Tang tribe at the mouth of the Liuyang River.
At that time, You Fu and Luo Chong both thought about building a marine forward base on the seashore. The location of the Tang tribe was undoubtedly the most suitable, but the Tang tribe was also a large tribe with a population of tens of thousands. The Han tribe could not just take it, let alone directly seize their territory. So for better development, they chose the opposite bank of the Tang tribe as the development point.
When You Fu came back from Zhudao for the last time, he left dozens of people and a boat there, asking them to find those small clans and tribes that were hostile to the Tang tribe, and try to conquer a few small tribes and set up camps first. Now I don't know what's going on.
Luo Chong had even named the place, Takuhai County, which means to open up the ocean. Now he just had to wait for the dozens of people to open up the situation there, and then he could carry out large-scale construction.
However, what Luo Chong didn't know was that at this time, the Takuhai County advance camp had gathered more than 10,000 people, a total of six small clans and tribes, and now they had all moved to the camp.
You Fu really valued the geographical location, because it was close to the estuary of the Liuyang River, plus the fresh water resources of the Liuyang River, natural water high-speed transportation, and large areas of flood plains on both sides. The land was fertile, the forests were dense, the animal and plant resources were very rich, and there were iron mines.
Whether it was growing food there, or doing industry, or building ships, or developing marine fisheries, it was a unique location, and because it was close to the sea, they didn't have to worry about having no salt to eat, and with the nearby Takeshima Island overseas, they could also develop marine trade nearby.
In order to successfully gain a foothold there, You Fu also left behind a capable man under his command, a young man named Jiang Chi.
Jiang Chi was recommended to him by the head of the You Jiang clan, because his nephew You Zhi married a woman from the You Jiang clan, and the You Jiang clan was also deceived by You Fu, so the You Fu family had a very good relationship with the You Jiang clan, and they would naturally think of them if they had the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so the head of the You Jiang clan recommended Jiang Chi to You Fu.
Jiang Chi was indeed very smart, and after joining the Han tribe, he was much faster in learning and adapting than the teenagers of the same tribe. After seeing the strength of the Han tribe, this guy quickly regarded himself as a member of the Han tribe, for no other reason, but because the Han tribe was advanced, powerful, and had capital to be proud of.
In addition, with the platform built by Youfu for him to show his talent, Jiang Chi soon stood out in Youfu's fleet, so the task of leading the development of Takumi County was given to him.
Jiang Chi followed Youfu to the sea and saw many tribes. He also went to the Xin tribe in Zhudao, the grassland, and most of the Han tribe. He can be said to be a very knowledgeable person, and he is also smart in dealing with people.
The means he used to win over those small clans were actually very simple and crude. First, he spent some money to hire a few guides in the Tang tribe, and then took them to find those small clans independent of the Tang tribe. The subordinates
he led were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they gave them silk, porcelain, steel knives, books and other valuable gifts. After meeting them, they first boasted to the sky, telling them how powerful the Han tribe was, showing the Han tribe's superb manufacturing technology, strong military force and transportation capabilities, developed agricultural level, and all-encompassing writing. In fact, he didn't know a few of them, but anyway, he just boasted first.
After scaring people, they invited some important figures to go out to sea on a large sailboat and go fishing at sea first.
After returning to the camp, they cooked the seafood and put two bottles of white wine on the table. While drinking, they introduced the future development plan of the Han tribe here. After the seafood was eaten, the wine was drunk, and the plan was heard, they looked back at the full load of seafood and fish. Basically, no leader could resist such temptation and agreed to it directly.
Their ideas were also very simple. First of all, the Han tribe had high-yield grain and more scientific planting technology, which was what they valued most. Secondly, the Han tribe had strong manufacturing capabilities and could make all good things. Thirdly, the Han tribe had a developed breeding industry and they had many livestock that they did not have, which was also what they needed.
The most important thing was that the Han tribe could build ships. Even if they did not grow any grain, they could feed all the people in the tribe by fishing at sea. This was the most attractive thing for them. After all, it was real meat.
Then there is the problem of institutional and cultural differences, which they can accept. First of all, the Han tribe is a tribe composed of many surnames. Even if these clans join in, it will not bring much change. In this respect, the Han tribe is actually similar to the Tang tribe. There are also many surnames in the Tang tribe.
Secondly, most clans have the tradition of ancestor worship. After all, if you don’t recognize your ancestors, where is the clan, which is also in line with the Han tribe.
There is also the private ownership of the Han tribe, which is the same as them. There is not much change after joining in.
The last key point is the location of Takuhai County. Takuhai County is on the opposite bank of the Tang tribe, not far from their original settlement. Even if they join the Han tribe, they don’t have to migrate too far, and they are still in a place they are familiar with. This is the easiest for the clan people to accept. As long as they don’t run too far, they are willing to move.
After all, they have lived here for a long time for generations, and many of their ancestors are buried here. If there is no reason that makes them really unable to survive, most of them will not be willing to migrate to a distant place.
Jiang Chi has successfully conquered six clans and tribes by this means, but only a part of them have come to the camp, and there are many more who have not come yet.
After all, it is a new land that was originally barren and could not accommodate so many people, so each clan has only sent a part of its people to the camp to participate in the construction. When the houses are repaired, everyone will move in together.
The clan leaders are not idle either. In order to gain a greater voice in the Han tribe in the future, they have also begun to actively absorb the surrounding wild people or smaller clans, actively strengthening their own strength. Apart from anything else, as long as the population can remain at the forefront among the many clans that have joined, that is the most obvious advantage.
