Chapter 749 Making Trouble (First Update)
Tang Yao felt a bit uncomfortable when hearing these words. Frankly speaking, the management system of the Tang tribe was indeed not as powerful as that of the Han tribe. The centralized system of the Han tribe could convey Luo Chong's orders directly to the households, and the Han tribe had mature laws that had great constraints on the people. No one dared to disobey Luo Chong's instructions on how to farm.
But the Tang tribe was different. In fact, Tang Ji, the so-called leader of the Tang tribe, was more like a great patriarch. When it came to the external affairs of the tribe, she had the greatest say, which was equivalent to the backbone of all the people in the Tang tribe. However, internally, it was actually the small clans that had to recuperate on their own. Tang Ji rarely managed the trivial matters of the people.
Only when encountering major events, such as a severe drought in a certain year, when the entire Tang tribe suffered from a poor harvest, would the people and the patriarchs of the small clans think that they still had a great leader.
It was very sad, like a tool man, but there was no doubt that such a leader was the most supported by the people, because the leader could help them solve big problems. Who didn't like such a leader?
When the group was about to get off the boat, Tang Yao found Luo Chong.
"Han Shou Luo Chong, I won't go to Takuhai County with you. I want to go back to see my aunt first. She doesn't know you're coming yet. I want to tell her first that my aunt has always wanted to see you. I'll bring her to see you in two days. Is that okay?"
"Of course there's no problem. You haven't been home for half a year. You should reunite with your family. Let's do this. You don't have to worry. After three days, I will formally invite you and Chief Tang to visit Takuhai County. I'll send a boat to pick you up then."
Luo Chong came to his territory by the sea at this time. He was in a very happy mood. After a little thought, he agreed to Tang Yao's opinion. He did have something to discuss with Tang Ji. Instead of letting them find him, it would be better to give them a face. Inviting them himself would also make the relationship between the two sides appear close.
"That's great. Auntie will be very happy to know that you are here to invite her to be a guest. Thank you, Luo Chong." Tang Yao was naturally very happy to hear Luo Chong's reply. After greeting Luo Chong again, she was ready to have someone send her to the other side.
"Wait a minute." Luo Chong suddenly stopped Tang Yao, and then took a delicate wooden box from Xiaodie and handed it to Tang Yao.
"What is this?" Tang Yao took the wooden box in confusion
, and looked at him with some expectation in doubt. "I don't have anything good to give you. There are two zoom telescopes in it. You and your aunt each have one. It can be regarded as a small gift." Luo Chong opened the box and showed the pair of telescopes in front of her.
The box was indeed a gift, because the military telescopes distributed by the Han tribe were all iron tubes with black paint on the outside, and the one given to Tang Yao was a rare copper tube. The bronze telescope tube looked golden, which was obviously more luxurious and advanced than those military models. In fact, there was no difference in use, it just looked good.
Tang Yao's eyes lit up, her face was full of joy, and she obviously liked this pair of telescopes very much. She had seen this exquisite artifact before, but it was also shown to her by Xiaodie and Zhan Ying, but she didn't have one of her own. Tang Yao was very envious of this. Now Luo Chong personally gave her a pair of better-looking ones, which were obviously specially customized. How could she not be happy.
"Luo Chong, thank you for your telescope. I like it very much. Aunt will definitely like it too." Tang Yao closed the box and took advantage of Luo Chong's lack of reaction to suddenly hug him, which made Luo Chong stunned. Then, without waiting for him to react, he got off the boat and ran away.
Da Shu on the side saw it, with a faint smile on his face. Because of their close relationship, he also joked with Luo Chong.
"Chief, it seems that we have great hope of peacefully annexing the Tang tribe, hahahaha"
"Haha, you are right, but I still think it is better to put some pressure on them, otherwise I am afraid that some people will not accept it when we manage them in the future." Luo Chong also smiled and pointed at him.
Da Shu frowned and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "That's right."
Da Shu, who has served as a frontier official for two consecutive terms, naturally knows a lot about these management matters.
In fact, with the friendly and cooperative relationship between the Han tribe and the Tang tribe, and the personal relationship between Luo Chong and Tang Yao, if Luo Chong wants to directly take over the Tang tribe through marriage, it is also very easy.
But the key issue is that the Tang tribe is different from the Han tribe. It is not a one-man show for the leader, or the leader of the Tang tribe does not have such great control over his people. The tribe is actually controlled by the patriarchs of those small clans.
There is no problem for Luo Chong to obtain the support of Tang Yao's family. What he is afraid of is that the patriarchs of those small clans will block him. At that time, they will come up with a plan to remove Tang Ji from the position of leader and re-elect a Tang leader. They do not recognize the merger of Han and Tang, nor do they recognize Luo Chong's leadership. That would be more troublesome.
And this is almost inevitable.
Because once Luo Chong takes over the Tang tribe, he will definitely not allow it to develop freely. He will definitely use his own way to appoint and install officials and take the actual management of the tribe from the patriarchs of those small clans. This will undoubtedly encroach on the power of those small patriarchs. How can they be willing to give up their people and even their freedom?
Therefore, the marriage between Han and Tang is possible, and the merger between Han and Tang is also possible, but deterrence and beating are also necessary. It is not necessary to start a war, but they must be given a warning.
Let the small clan leaders of the Tang tribe understand that Luo Chong took over the Tang tribe not because of the prestige and support of Tang Ji and Tang Yao, but because he himself had the strength and ability. Even if he did not marry, he was absolutely sure that he could make the Tang tribe surrender.
Resistance is a dead end, and only surrender can lead to a good life.
For this reason, Luo Chong decided to make a big event in Takuhai County to intimidate the Tang tribe while also doing the business he came here for.
The group got off the boat and came to the government compound under the leadership of Dashu. Someone had already arranged accommodation for Luo Chong's family, and Luo Chong went directly to the lobby of the government office to do business.
Calling Dashu to his side, Luo Chong made the arrangements.
"Call Shu Da and Xue Tu to me, and send a few boats to the estuary to secretly welcome Shou Ya back. Remember to keep it secret, and don't disclose the identities of Shou Ya and the people around him to others." "
Ah? Shou Ya is coming too? That's great! He hasn't been back to the tribe for several years since he was sent to Takeshima. I think he will be very happy to see the leader this time." Da Shu, who has always been calm, was also a little excited when he heard the news that Shou Ya was coming to Takumi County.
Luo Chong rolled his eyes and reminded again: "Keep it secret. Shou Ya is coming back secretly this time, and the Xin tribe doesn't know."
"Don't worry, leader, of course I know the pros and cons of this kind of thing, I will arrange it now, but how many people are there, and how many boats should be sent over?" Da Shu nodded solemnly, and was about to turn around and go out to do something, but he suddenly asked another question when he thought of something.
"Send two or three ships. The sea has been rough lately. Send two three-masted cargo ships over there, just under the pretext of delivering goods." Pay attention to the following activity
. If you want to earn starting coins, you can come and participate. (End of this chapter)
