When I woke up early in the morning, a beautiful maid came over with a steaming basin and towel for Liu Mingqi to wash.

Because negotiations are about to start today, everyone will eat something on their own first, and then gather in the big tent here.

After having a distinctive breakfast, Liu Mingqi, Liu Mingjing and others climbed the temporary tower together.

The quality of the Dakang Imperial Guard is first-class and powerful.

When they arrived at the small tribe alliance yesterday, they immediately found several tribe leaders and built four five-meter-high towers with trees, and there were people on them to watch them vigilantly.

Now it was Liu Mingjing who asked the boy to come up.

Standing here, you can see the tents and branches of most small tribal alliances.

They were roughly divided into five pieces, and the size of the tents looked similar.

There is a clearing in the middle, where the bonfire party was held last night.

A cold wind blew, and Liu Mingqi asked tremblingly, "Why are you coming up?"

"Your Highness, look..." Zhang Qin said, pointing to the tents and said, "Is it that their scale a bit big today?"

"Well, there must be at least 10,000 or 20,000 people." The boy nodded.

"But according to the experience of General Manager Gong, they are less than before." Zhang Qin said, "In the past few years, they were on the same scale. This year, there were suddenly fewer people, which made people feel something was wrong."

"Or they encountered a disaster, so there were fewer people?" Liu Mingjing asked back.

"There is this possibility, but there are other possibilities." Zhang Qin shook his head, "In my opinion, as long as something suddenly changes will definitely be a bit bad."

Liu Mingqi nodded: "Brother Zhang, I understand what you mean...you just say what you want to do?"

"I can't say for details, but during the negotiations today, please join Your Highness and Your Highness Wu to oppress them more." Zhang Qin said, "If they agree quickly and surrender no matter how low the conditions are, then we have to be more careful and it is best to leave immediately."

"I understand this."

Liu Mingjing interrupted, "It must be a fraud if you are too cautious, right?"

"right!"

Xiong Dabao said, "Your Majesty has told us that even if they come to Dakang, they must regard them as enemies and must not be slackened at all."

I said, these people were full of "there are always unruly people who want to harm me", so they were so nervous along the way.

But Liu Mingqi also thinks it is very good for such caution.

I just hope that this group of people really intend to surrender.

The best false alarm!

...

Negotiations began soon.

The place is right inside the camp in Dakang.

Although there are dozens of warriors from the small tribe alliance as guards around, more of them are the guards of the imperial guards at the innermost level.

In this case, even the most cautious person does not have to worry about the small tribe alliance being tricked.

Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing sat in the middle, behind them were Dazhu, Fan Shan and Suo Xuan, and the patriarchs and heads of the eight tribes sat on both sides.

Zhang Qin inspected the surroundings, while Xiong Dabao led the crowd to stand outside the tent.

Honeycomb coal burned in the tent, and a curved chimney on the top can remove the gas.

So it was very warm. Not a moment after coming in, everyone took off their thick fur coats and wore thin clothes.

Drinking hot milk tea, the oldest Kasaba asked, “How much honeycomb coal is needed in such a day?”

"This kind of strength is a bit large and the area is also large. At least one hundred people a day." Liu Mingqi replied, "If it is a small tent that can live in three or five people, just use more than ten... This is on the northwest grassland. When you go to the mainland of Gansu, you can save at least three or five people."

"Well, it is said that the honeycomb coal in Gansu is only two cents, and five tents a day are used, which is ten cents." Kasaba calculated the accounts, "After four months in a winter, it's only one or two cents of silver, it's okay!"

"In fact, it's not just." Liu Mingqi said, "This is just for heating. If you want to cook, you have to add at least three in winter. But don't worry about these. If you move to Gansu, you will be your own people. As long as you can continue to breed high-quality horses and cattle and sheep, the price is easy to say. The court will purchase them directly to ensure that everyone can live a good life."

"We are still looking forward to such good days." Julu Dayong said with anticipation, "I rely on the weather to make a living on the grassland year after year, and I can't avoid it once I encounter disasters. I am tired of such a life!"

"But it's too naive to think that you can live a good life by moving over." Xue Jikongkong of the Guli tribe continued, "Although we had a little hardship before, we were free and free. Although the Uighurs and Tubo oppressed us, we had the right to choose... Once we went to Dakang, we would be a lamb to be slaughtered."

A group of people looked at him in amazement.

It includes several heads of the small tribe alliance.

Judging from this situation, Xue Jikongkong's words obviously did not discuss with them.

But Huo Quba immediately reacted, he laughed and said to Liu Mingqi: "Yes, prince, this is also something we are very worried about... I know that in Dakang, there are many small ethnic groups with their own characteristics. I wonder if we can do this, still live together, and actively serve Dakang?"

"impossible!"

Liu Mingqi didn't say anything, and Liu Mingjing came out to be a villain. "Didn't there be fewer things to raise tigers in all dynasties? In my Datang Dynasty, I treated the surrendered foreigners well, but when the country weakened, what did they do? I almost killed my Central Plains dynasty and lost the inheritance!

So Dakang will not allow too many people from the same ethnic group to live in. Your eight tribes are divided into twenty-four small ethnic groups and live in Gansu and Shaanxi respectively! Don’t worry, you will definitely guarantee your life, and you will have no worries about food and drink, and the children can also read and recognize words!"

Things like reading and recognizing words are all high-end treatment in Dakang, not to mention on the grassland.

Everyone was shocked and felt very happy.

But this dispersed tribe incident was too unexpected.

Originally, everyone thought that the most overwhelming thing about Dakang was that the eight tribes were scattered in one place, but they didn’t expect that it would be even more overwhelming than this, and it would have to be split into twenty-four!

If it were a smaller tribe, wouldn’t there be only one or two thousand people?

As a result, Liu Mingjing added: "The twenty-four small tribes are not based on tribes, but are all broken up and live together, so that it will be convenient for everyone."

"You...you're too much!"

Xue Jikongkong immediately stood up and looked at him with anger: "Prince, we are resigning, not being captured by you! You are more cruel than Uighurs and Tubo! Is this how Dakang treats those who sincerely surrender?"

This time, no one stopped Xue Jikongkong from getting angry anymore.

Everyone also wants to see what Dakang people think.

Of course, Liu Mingjing is talking nonsense.

The imperial court did not mean this at all, but to wait until they arrived in Dakang and then scattered to live in several nearby counties.

When they are completely familiar with the environment of Dakang and have become controllable, they will slowly migrate and divide.

Liu Mingqi smiled slightly, raised her hand and said, "Captain Xue Jikongkong, I'll ask you a few questions."

"Your Majesty, tell me!" Xue Jikongkong slightly restrained his anger and said, "You are a saint, and naturally know the sufferings of the people. I believe you will not make things difficult for us miserable people."

The boy said without comment: "Dakang's land and water support people, the policies are relaxed, and there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters. A group will definitely survive and develop well there. According to your understanding, if your group has grown to a scale of 300,000 or 500,000 or 100,000, millions, will they have greater ambitions?"

"Won't!"

Xue Jikongkong said: "We only like a quiet life and will never think about fighting."

He didn't believe this after he said it, but he had to say it.

A group of patriarchs and elders nodded secretly, thinking that this guy was indeed not crazy.

Liu Mingqi did not argue with him, but said, "What is your purpose in joining Dakang?"

"Living will prevent the children from dying prematurely, and the elderly will not be starved to death or freeze to death." Xue Ji Kongkong said quite quickly.

"Isn't that right?"

Liu Mingqi said: "Dakang will guarantee that you will be treated like this. Since you have all got what you want, whether you are scattered or not? ...Unless you cannot let go of the power in your hands, or want to rely on control of these people to continue to be local emperors, right?"

Xue Ji was speechless for a moment.

That's the truth.

There is no doubt that the small tribe alliance wants to surrender to Dakang, and at the same time, the chief elders and nobles want to fight for more of their own power and wealth.

Liu Mingjing sneered at this, "To put it bluntly, you still can't let go of your pitiful power. You said that people will starve to death, freeze to death, and be bullied to death, but there are still so many unrealistic fantasies. Isn't this ridiculous?"

"If it were yours, you, you wouldn't be able to let go, right?" Xue Ji Kongkong asked back.

"If I get to that point, I will naturally be able to let go. Survival is the most important thing." Liu Mingjing smiled, "But you don't have to worry, Dakang thought of the treatment for you... After you join us, according to your different positions and powers, Dakang will give compensation ranging from 1,000 taels to 1,000 taels, and in addition, there are guarantees that there are fertile land ranging from 100 to 10,000 acres."

"That's all!?"

Cheliro, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help it, and there was an incomparable loss in his voice.

They have been doing business with Dakang for a long time, and they have learned a lot about Dakang's situation.

Like the conditions given by Liu Mingjing, you might be able to pass it by a small tribe with hundreds of people, two or three thousand people.

But we are a large tribe with tens of thousands of people, and a tribal alliance of about 200,000 in total. Just spend this little money and this little land will send us away?

Dakang's heart is so dark!!
