Yao Yun's question again immediately woke up the sluggish Haoshan. His face turned red and he looked like he was struggling: "Your Majesty, I..."
In fact, Haoshan has always longed for the life in Xidu. After he came to Xidu and worked with the people of Xidu who were short of food, he became very fond of Xidu.
The people of Xidu suffered a disaster and ran out of food. King Xi provided food to help the people, allowing hundreds of people to survive the cold winter. This would have been impossible for the Leopard tribe. Everyone had a difficult time. The leader
Song is no exception. They have no ability to resist in the face of disasters and can only watch their people starve to death!
Comparing the two, it is simply a world of difference.
From this process, Haoshan knew that Xidu was his ideal home. There were stable harvests in the fields, and when he usually went hunting in the mountains, he would not only be full but also eat well, and he could also buy things when the year was good.
Lots of weird items, buy new clothes for your family...
These are the days of ordinary people in Xidu that Haoshan heard described by slaves and ghosts when he was working in the mines. Haoshan listened to his ears and envied them in his heart.
Unknowingly, Haoshan actually felt a sense of belonging to Xidu. If he could become a citizen of Xidu, he would naturally be extremely happy.
Not to mention that the legendary King Xi personally recruited him as the now majestic lord of Xidu. This is enough to prove that King Xi appreciates him and his future is limitless.
At this moment, Hao Shan could only appear in his dream, but now it has actually happened. You can imagine how excited Hao Shan was.
Haoshan was in a daze, but the other soldiers were dissatisfied and whispered to each other.
"Haoshan, you are mute. The king asked you something. Kneel down and thank the king!" A soldier from the mine spoke. In his heart, he was envious of Haoshan's good luck. He was able to win the king's favor and personally
He wanted to recruit someone, but after getting along for a long time, his heart naturally turned to someone he knew, so he quickly spoke to urge her.
Yao Yun didn't speak, but still looked at Hao Shan, not in a hurry. After all, his favorability reached the level of fanatical admiration, so he wouldn't refuse if he thought about it.
Hearing this, Haoshan immediately knelt down and said, 'Thank you so much, king! Thank you so much, king!'
Haoshan kowtows like garlic, and kowtows to Yao Yun several times in a row.
Cang Man and the few soldiers guarding the mine clapped their hands and laughed, and Yao Yun couldn't help but smile slightly. To conquer Haoshan was to conquer a Qi Master.
The opponent's qualifications are very good, and his basic qualifications have reached the second level. This kind of talent was rare even when the cheap father was in power. If you train him carefully in the future, it will be of great use!
But just when everyone was smiling, Hao Shan blushed, and said with embarrassment and helplessness: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you, but I don't want to join the Xidu army, and I don't want to farm and hunt. I want to
Among the Hui tribe..."
"How dare you tease the king!"
Cang Man shouted loudly. In fact, he had a good impression of Hao Shan. He felt that he was quick at work and not lazy. He had a strong body. He also had good martial arts skills and was a good young man. However, the other party obviously did not know how high the sky was. Even the king did not know how high the sky was.
Dare to play.
Cang Man was originally a Qi Refiner and the commander of the Xidu Armored Soldiers. His aura was astonishing. He was so frightened that Hao Shan, who was already a little frightened, took two steps back. He kept shaking his head and waving his hands, and explained:
"I dare not deal with the king. I am willing to submit to the king and wait for orders. However, I come from the Leopard tribe. I don't want to seek wealth and honor alone and abandon my relatives in the clan."
After Haoshan finished speaking, the other soldiers either ridiculed, were angry at him for not arguing, or were concerned about him, and spoke one after another.
"Ignorance of promotion"
"Haoshan, you are really ignorant."
"Haoshan, don't be stupid. What a great opportunity. Do you want to stay in the mountains and associate with wild animals your whole life?"
…
Yao Yun stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. After experiencing the moment of surprise and displeasure, Yao Yun could understand what the other party meant. Subjectively, Hao Shan was willing to stay in Xidu and work under him, but the other party was worried about the Leopard Tribe.
You can see that the other person is a man who values affection and righteousness.
Yao Yun still admired this kind of people very much, so a thought flashed through his mind and said: "Haoshan, this is fine, the Leopard tribe is also a subject of Gu, there is no difference between the two, but you said you are not willing to give up
Relatives in the clan, that’s easy to do, you can convince the Leopard tribe to join Xidu together.”
"Ah, the king is saying..." Hao Shan was stunned, with a certain light in his eyes, looking at Yao Yun in disbelief.
Yao Yun nodded: "Well, there are many villages outside Xidu. The Leopard tribe can become one of them, called Leopard Village. You can teach the people of the Leopard tribe to open up wasteland and farm. In the future, you will not be an independent barbarian tribe.
It is a village directly under Xidu."
Upon hearing this, Haoshan's eyes shone with light, but soon dimmed: "Your Majesty, this matter is important and I cannot make the decision. This needs to be decided by the leader, Wu Zhu and the clan members."
"This is natural. In this case, I don't need to say much. You can go back to the Leopard Tribe!"
After saying that, Haoshan left with deep thoughts.
After the others left, Cangman smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you ready to completely tame the barbarian tribe?"
The so-called domestication of barbarian tribes is actually assimilation.
The barbarian tribes make a living by hunting and have no fixed settlement or fixed base. This makes them very difficult to deal with. They come and go without a trace. It is very difficult for them to be completely naturalized. After all, if they don't listen to you, there is nothing you can do.
If you lead troops to destroy them, they will be able to withdraw without hesitation. Anyway, stone caves and thatched houses are not uncommon. If they are gone, they will be gone.
However, if the barbarian tribes could be allowed to settle down with farming as the main occupation and hunting as the supplementary occupation like the people of the Xia Dynasty, then everything would undergo earth-shaking changes.
With the grain harvest from farming, their lives will be better than before, and they will be bound by land, houses, and property. How can they leave as they pleased before, pay no taxes if they say they don't want to pay, or pay tribute if they don't want to pay tribute?
No tribute.
Even their lifestyles are the same, so essentially they are the real people of Xidu.
This method of domesticating barbarian tribes was actually widely practiced in the Xia Dynasty. The princes from all directions used this method to teach the four directions for the emperor.
The Xia dynasties possess advanced farming technology. They can take root in any place suitable for farming, and then slowly assimilate the barbarians from all directions.
That is to say, the grassland in Xirong is difficult to conquer, after all, there is no way to farm there.
King Xuan had done this before after he established the Xidu. His methods were rather crude. He directly ordered the Qi Master masters to lead an army to sweep through several barbarian tribes around the Xidu, and pointed their swords at the heads of the barbarian tribesmen to make them farm.
The barbarians were stubborn and naturally refused to succumb to violence. Under coercion, they did not pay attention to farming. Therefore, these barbarian tribes failed to transform from hunting to farming. The harvests in the fields were not good, and the barbarians tried to
Seeing no benefit, they fled to the mountains one by one and hid far away.
King Xuan's goal did not seem to be to govern Xidu, and later he simply gave up. Since he had a big fist, the barbarian tribes did not dare to disobey, so the stalemate continued.
Yao Yun is a down-to-earth person. It is the duty of the princes to civilize the barbarians and protect the surrounding areas. Yao Yun is still very interested in this.
Especially Haoshan's reaction, it is clear that the barbarian tribe still yearns for life in Xidu, which greatly increases Yao Yun's confidence.
"To educate one side, let's start with small tribes first and see the effect. Cangman, you will have to collect tributes for a while. It is one thing to promote the national prestige of the Xi Kingdom. Don't be too reckless and proceed with caution."
When Cang Man heard this, he immediately became awe-inspiring and nodded deeply.
Collecting tributes this year is obviously not an easy task. The barbarian tribes are afraid of the hard and will not give much face to the weak Xidu.
