Li Changxian thought for a while and said, "It would be inappropriate to wear jewelry on the battlefield like this."

Why not do this? Take it off first and register it with the county government office, or ask the county government office to estimate the price of these jewelry in exchange for new weapons and equipment."

The tribal leaders thought for a while and said in unison: "Mr. Li, we are willing to exchange for weapons."

Li Changxian smiled and said, "It is wise for everyone to do this. Jewelry is dead. With good weapons and armor, you can go to the rebels to steal their jewelry. Besides, there are many opportunities to go to Southeast Asia in the future. Then there are still a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry for you to use at will?"

The tribal leaders also thought what Li Changxian said was very reasonable, and hurriedly called the warriors of the tribe to take off their jewelry and go to the county government to exchange for new weapons and armor.

Since the application of steam engines, the manufacturing of weapons and armor has been accelerated a lot. In the past, a steel knife took several days to finish it. Now it is made in less than half an hour under the huge forging machine. As for armor, it is even simpler. A piece of steel plate quickly becomes a plate armor under the vigorous forging of the forging machine.

With the new forging technology, craftsmen no longer make weapons every day, and focus their energy on the strength and toughness of steel in order to achieve sharper and tougher weapons.

The forging technology has been innovated, and the cost of manufacturing weapons has been greatly reduced. At present, the county government has manufactured a large number of weapons and armor, but due to the invasion of the rebels, it will be difficult to sell them out in a while. Now it is just right to change the clothes of these indigenous tribe warriors.

"Let the new tribe warriors choose their favorite weapons and equipment. If you don't have any money to pay, you can pay them credit first. After defeating the rebels in the future, you can use the harvest you get from the rebels to deduct these weapons."

Li Changxian will not do the losing business anymore. Seeing that these indigenous tribes are so rich, it would be a shame to him if he doesn't scrape a little from them.

Seeing that many indigenous tribe warriors went to the county government to collect weapons, Li Changxian pulled Abdul and others to ask what happened to these tribes they just came to?

Abdul and others remembered that although they had already said to Zhang Kewen and others in the county government, they forgot to tell Li Changxian.

"Mr. Li County Magistrate, these warriors are all from our tribes in the southern region. Because they live in the mountains and forests all year round, they don't have many opportunities to deal with outsiders.

This time I met us, so I wanted to join the county government and contribute to the Wanling County Government."

"Okay, since we are here, we are from Wanling County. We cannot treat them differently. Just follow the rules of Wanling County."

Li Changxian looked at the tribal leaders who had just defected to him and said, "You don't have to worry about the tribe. As long as you come down the mountain, the county government will take care of your family, and the children must go to school.

If there is a shortage of food and other items, the county government can pay you credit first, so you don’t have to worry about hunger.”

"We are willing to follow the words of County Magistrate Li!"

Before these new tribal leaders arrived at the Wanling County Government Office, they learned about the Wanling County government orders through Abdul and others, and they were also willing to abide by the county government arrangements.

After all, their tribes are living too hard in the deep mountains and forests. They lack food and are facing the danger of beasts and diseases. Moreover, the number of people in the tribe is gradually decreasing.

Seeing other tribes growing stronger day by day under the leadership of Wanling County Government, it would be impossible if they were not jealous.

In the past, they were almost in poverty, but other tribes took a little step ahead of them and incredible changes occurred in a short period of time.

There is no longer a shortage of food, and in terms of clothing, many people have new clothes and new boots, and their behavior is no different from other people from the mainland's Dajin Dynasty.

The women of all tribes have a good home, and the children have also entered the school here in the county. Moreover, the population of each tribe has increased rapidly. The small tribe with a small population has now become a medium tribe, and the medium tribe has also become a famous large tribe in Wanling County.

All these changes happened shortly after County Magistrate Li came to Wanling County.

Moreover, according to Abdul and others, they obtained huge wealth last time they went to the South China countries. No one can tell how much they were, but you can guess it by looking at their dress and behavior.

They not only envy the clothes of Adu and his tribe warriors, but also envy the weapons and armor in their hands.

If the warriors of their tribe can also have these weapons and armor, their tribe can also gain more wealth like Abdul and others.

Now that they heard that Li Changxian was willing to pay them weapons and armor, they all grinned and couldn't stop talking happily.

All of this indicates that their good days are coming.

Li Changxian pulled Abdul and others and asked, "Does there still be tribes like them in Wanling County?"

Abdul and others said without hesitation: "Of course there are, but these tribes are scattered all over Wanling County, with people ranging from dozens to hundreds.

There are still many tribes that migrate to Shiguo and other places, which is not convenient to find."

Li Changxian sighed: "The Wanling County Development Plan I set up in Wanling County's County Government will help everyone in Wanling County get rid of poverty within five years. You probably have seen it.

Since they are in Wanling County, we cannot ignore them. We should let them get rid of poverty and live a good life like us."

At this time, Shi Ku, the leader of the Shi tribe, said: "If County Magistrate Li doesn't dislike me for being old and weak, I am willing to take on this task and contact the lost tribes so that they can go down the mountain."

Li Changxian clasped his fists at Shi Ku, the leader of the Shi tribe, and said, "If the old leader of Shi can come forward, it will be the best. If you have any more needs, please say that the county government will do its best to help."

Shiku also clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Li County has said that you have done this for our tribes. How can we not know?

Those lost tribes have close contact with us. If I go to contact us, it may be better than Shiqiao and the others."

"Then please, Chief Shi!"

Li Changxian thanked Shi Ku again, and then continued: "This time, we need the support of all the leaders to resist the invasion of the rebels. This county magistrate thanks everyone here!"

The tribal leaders also clasped their fists and said, "As a native of Wanling County, we should work together to resist the rebels and never let the rebels invade Wanling County."

Next, Li Changxian discussed some things with the tribe leaders, and then said goodbye and left.
