Chapter 539 What's wrong with listening to him?
Drogo's words can be said to have shocked Diak.
In his opinion, this was already the life he had always dreamed of, but in Drogo's eyes it was not good enough?
What does a better life than that look like?
He found that he couldn't imagine it at all.
This made him unable to help but ask this question.
"Then tell me, what is a better life like?"
Faced with this question, Drogo couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that some of the words and sentences he just spoke were not something he could come up with at all.
Ye Jinghong talked to him about this matter last night.
Ye Jinghong's statement at that time was also very simple and clear.
"Don't you want your people to join the Great Zhou? You know what our Great Zhou is like. Joining our Great Zhou will only benefit them, not harm them. At the same time, the problem of the continuation of your race can also be easily solved."
Drogo agreed 100% with Ye Jinghong's words, and he also fully supported letting Diak and others join the Great Zhou.
Although some of the words he just said to Diak were taught by Ye Jinghong, many of them were also his heartfelt words.
He was still thinking about finding an opportunity to bring up this matter with Chief Diak, but who would have thought that the other party would actually take the initiative to bring up this topic, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"First, join our Great Zhou. The king will assign you a job, and then you will receive a corresponding salary every month based on your work performance."
“What is the salary?”
The grassland village is a military camp, not a living area. The supplies here are basically distributed uniformly, so the presence of money is relatively low.
Normally speaking, if Drogo faced this problem himself, he probably wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
Fortunately, Ye Jinghong had estimated the situation in advance and taught him.
"Salary is money, and money can be used to buy all kinds of things. What you live in in Prairie Village is actually the most ordinary dormitory. You have seen Village Chief Ye's house, right?"
“Yes.”
Diak nodded subconsciously.
"As long as you have money, you can rent a big house like that!"
“…”
"As for food, we can only distribute it in the canteen here, but as long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want. I remember you like grilled fish, right? Then you can eat grilled fish every day!"
"!"
"Two meals a day is the most basic. If you have enough money, you can eat three or four meals a day, and eat grilled fish every time!"
"!!!"
To Drogo, nothing else needed to be said.
Most of the tribes in this era lived basically for food, and the simplest and most brutal way was to tempt them with food directly.
As expected, Diac was in unprecedented turmoil at this time.
As an ally, Da Zhou's behavior was basically impeccable, which made Diak feel very favorable towards Da Zhou. However, this also aggravated his hesitation and made him ask the question involuntarily...
"Then how can we join the Great Zhou?"
The moment these words came out of his mouth, Diak's expression froze when he reacted.
After all, he is the head of the clan, so it was a bit awkward for him to ask this question.
But Drogo gave his answer as if he hadn't seen it.
"Chief Diak, you and our Great Zhou have always gotten along very well. If you want to join, it should be relatively simple. You just need to swear allegiance to our king. Given our king's generosity, he will definitely agree."
“…”
Listening to Drogo's words, this time, Diak did not respond. He just laughed dryly and glossed over the topic, cursing himself in his heart for being so confused.
However, the words that Drogo had just said kept popping up in his mind uncontrollably, causing Diak to fall into deep entanglement again.
In the following day, he couldn't help but look at Drogo frequently. He always felt that the other party was planning something.
But in fact, Drogo didn't say anything after that, as if he was just bored on the road and chatted with him briefly.
But this casual chat made Diak very troubled.
Looking back, I realized that I didn't accomplish anything that day, and my mind was full of thoughts about this matter.
In the evening, after dinner, he couldn't help but call over several important members of the tribe, including Joseph.
Diak hesitated for a while on the question of whether to call the boy, but finally decided to do so.
In the previous battles, Joseph's gradually demonstrated talent and strength, which made his status in the tribe rise rapidly.
Now within their tribe, Joseph has grown into a powerful warrior with a certain say.
Looking at the tribesmen in the tent, Diak gathered his emotions for a moment, then spoke slowly...
"Today during the day, I talked to Drogo and asked a question that has always been on my mind, which is why they are mixed up with the Great Zhou."
Upon hearing this question, all the Centaurs, including Joseph, pricked up their ears.
Obviously, they were curious too.
As Diak spoke, the Centaurs gradually began to realize what their leader wanted to say to them.
After he finished speaking, before Diak could ask the tribesmen what they thought, Joseph's voice rang out first.
"Submit! What's there to be entangled about?!"
Seeing Joseph's nonsensical look, Diak felt angry.
"I shouldn't have called you over here. Did you think carefully before you spoke?"
"Why didn't I think of that?!"
Joseph looked dissatisfied.
"Then tell me, what did you think about?!"
"We live in a tent now and it's freezing cold. If we surrender to the Great Zhou, we can sleep in a house, which is not only windproof but also warm."
“…”
"We now eat flatbread with pickled vegetables every day, and we only have one meal a day. If we surrender to the Great Zhou, we will have good food and drink every day, and we can have at least two meals a day! And we can still be full!"
“…”
"And from what Drogo said, if you make money, you can eat as many meals as you want a day! Isn't that better than now?"
Joseph's outburst silenced the tribesmen around him.
Fortunately, after struggling for a whole day, Diak finally figured out something.
"Once we surrender, we will have to obey the king!"
"Then listen to him. He provides us with food and shelter. What's wrong with listening to him? Otherwise, why should he provide us with delicious food and drink every day?"
At this moment, Joseph looked at Diak in disbelief, as if he was looking at a fool, which completely silenced Diak.
Because he found himself speechless!
I went out for something and came back late (End of this chapter)
