After Song Liyun arranged the affairs in the city, he took time to meet with the tribal leader in the main hall of the city lord's palace.
There are now more than ten tribes in the Mida Valley, with a total population of nearly 50,000.
Due to the special reason that herdsmen cannot gather together in pastures, it is difficult to gather people together.
Although fifty thousand people cannot compare with Wang Tingxiang in Xuyang Prairie, they are already a presence that cannot be ignored.
In the city lord's mansion, a group of burly or skinny old men with different expressions sat quietly behind the desk, waiting for the city lord's wife.
Accompanied by Lao Qian Fangzheng and others, Song Liyun slowly entered the main hall.
The leaders stood up and saluted one after another, but their actions were not uniform.
Song Liyun did not sit down at the head of the table, but walked directly to the leaders, glanced at each person's face, and said: "Every leader who comes here today must have only one question, and that is whether to consider whether to leave or stay.
?”
Her voice is clear, like a sharp dagger, revealing everyone's face.
Right in front of her right now was an old man with wrinkles on his face and sharp eyes.
"Dear Madam, I am the leader of the Muhan tribe. I came here from Xuyang Grassland two years ago."
Song Liyun nodded: "Muhantou, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Ma'am, is it safe for us to stay here?"
The Muhantou people were not ambiguous and expressed their concerns directly.
Two years ago, he took his tribe to the Mida Valley and lived a peaceful life for two years.
It is convenient to buy and sell things here. The city lord has set aside pastures for the tribes to use, and there is no heavy tax of "four out of ten" imposed by the royal court.
There is no tax, and there are 40% more lambs in the pens every year. Now the tribal children can eat meat and drink milk.
He wanted to live like this.
Song Liyun smiled slightly: "Muhantou people, don't worry, as long as Mida City exists for one day, you don't have to go back to Xuyang Grassland.
If the city of Mida is trampled by thousands of horses, it will naturally be another matter."
Merely speaking eloquent words will not work on the spirit-like old men here. Only life and death together can move their hearts.
The Muhantou people did not receive a specific answer, but they also understood that Mida City was determined to confront the royal court.
The wrinkles on his face remained intact, and he sat back down behind the case.
Since Mida City wants to fight, let’s fight!
If you stay in Xuyang Grassland, you will be involved in the war.
Once the warrant comes from a large tribe, not only the cattle and sheep in your area will be confiscated, but also all the young and strong men in the tribe will be taken away.
After hiding in the Mida Valley for two years, the children will grow up by two years.
Even if the young men of the tribe die in battle, the children can survive the winter.
A dozen other heads began to whisper to each other, and some also sat down like the Muhan heads.
But there were more people standing.
In the crowd, a voice spoke slowly: "What you said, madam, is wrong!
Mida City is your Mida City.
If we stay, who will be responsible for the casualties if we encounter the Royal Court's cavalry?
What can you get by asking us to send troops? You can't just say that Mida City is here and just use us as swordsmen!"
Someone came forward, and the leaders who were whispering immediately stopped talking and stepped aside to reveal that person.
Song Liyun raised his eyes and saw that the speaker was a strong man in his forties, with a face full of wrinkles and a beard. The most eye-catching thing was the earrings in his ears as big as a baby's fist.
When he saw Song Liyun looking at him, he was not afraid at all. He sat back on the low cushion, reached out and grabbed the fruit on the desk and ate it.
Tsk tsk tsk, this is such a good place.
There are many merchants in Mida City, and they even have fruits that were only available in the Wu Dynasty.
Song Liyun knew this man, the leader of the Simon tribe.
I heard Zhao Tingduo say that the Simon tribe used to have close contacts with the four tribes in Xuyang Grassland.
But since the chaos in Xuyang Grassland, he immediately cut off contact and turned to Mida City.
Moreover, the first sale sent to Mida City was to sell ten young girls from the Wu Dynasty.
There are rules in Mida City. In addition to no gambling houses, there are no brothels for business here.
If there are escort girls brought by the caravan, the Urban Management Bureau will naturally not care.
But now the Simon tribe is openly selling female slaves, girls from the Wu Dynasty, which is obviously against city regulations.
Therefore, when this group of girls entered the city, they were stopped by the city guards.
The leader of Ximen felt that he was humiliated, so he not only whipped the sergeants, but also went to the city lord's palace and asked Zhao Tingduo to give an explanation.
There is a reason why he does this.
Before deciding to defect to Mida City, Simon once sent a messenger.
It represents the friendly communication between the Simon head people and expresses the head people’s desire to get married.
The Simon tribe has a fifteen-year-old daughter who is willing to bring a dowry of a hundred horses, a hundred cattle, and fifty slaves to marry Zhao Tingduo as his second wife. From now on, the Simon tribe will always be friends with Mida City.
For Mida City, it is a great help to have a powerful tribe to form relatives, and it is normal for a hero like Zhao Tingduo to marry several wives.
However, as soon as the messenger said the marriage proposal, Zhao Tingduo rejected it.
He has no objection to the Simon tribe wanting to make friends with Mida City.
Marriages between ordinary tribes are not feasible in Zhao Tingduo.
There are many merchants and tribes in Mida City. Everyone agrees on the contract and acts according to the rules without involving others.
Zhao Tingduo already has the wife of the city lord and has promised not to marry again, so he will not violate his original intention.
The reply brought back by the messenger made Head Simon very angry.
He did not believe that a Di tribe man would only guard one woman. This was Mida City's contempt for the Simon tribe.
The Simon head man maintained his identity, and after being rejected, he did not mention getting married, and only said that he came to the city to do business.
But the first transaction violated Mida City regulations.
However, after entering the city lord's palace, the aggressive Simon head completely changed his expression. Not only did he use words to please the city lord, but he also said that he would send ten female slaves to the city lord's wife.
Don't reach out and hit the smiling person, not to mention that you were already unhappy before, and now others are coming to ask for peace.
Zhao Tingduo had no choice but to accept the slave girl and send it to the backyard for Song Liyun to deal with, while he shook hands with the headman Simon and had a good time.
Song Liyun asked clearly that the ten female slaves were refugee girls bought by the Wu Dynasty, and they were all sold voluntarily by their families.
She did not leave the person in the city lord's palace to bury the cause of the disaster, nor did she send the person back to the Wu Dynasty like a holy mother. Instead, she rewarded the person to the Di warriors who performed the best.
Everyone's home is located in the outer city. Under Song Liyun's control, the safety of these women is basically guaranteed.
This method can not only win the hearts of the Di warriors, but also prevent suspicion between Song Liyun and his wife.
Sure enough, Nanka and others were able to get a Wu Dynasty woman as their wife. They kowtowed with joy and became more and more ferocious in their training.
It was just that when Mr. Simon learned that all the delicate female slaves were rewarded by the city lord's wife, his idea failed, and he was very dissatisfied. He said to the people around him more than once: "That Mrs. Wu Dynasty has a small belly and is not worthy of being the mistress of Mida City."
Those women didn't even want to enjoy him, so they took advantage of the lower class untouchables.
Now that the city of Mida is in trouble, the time has come for the Simon heads to feel the evil in their hearts.
