Chapter 402 The grassland is big enough to allow your tribe to prosper together!
"Can you think of a way to add a few hundred people to the tribe these days? As long as there are five or six hundred more people, the matter can be done. The leader should not be afraid that he will not be able to support him after he has people. With the flint and steel business, plus
At the Aobao meeting held by our caravan here, it should be no problem to support five or six hundred more people." Ma Tianming was very anxious and came up with an idea for Ao Ga.
"Old friend, you don't know the situation in our grassland. The grassland is not like your plain land. It will not be able to find so many idle people for a while. Last year, our tribe only gathered three to four hundred people."
After listening to the leader's words, Ma Tianming seemed to have fallen into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a result. He said very decadently: "Oh, this can kill people! If the number of people can't reach it, there is really nothing we can do.
ah!"
Hearing Ma Tianming's complaint, Ao Ga reluctantly said that he couldn't seize this opportunity. After the two chatted for a while, they broke up. In the end, Ao Ga brought the topic to the exclusive sale of Flintstones.
Quan Shang. And Ma Tianming said that he would take care of the Aihui tribe's business as much as possible. After that, he would go back and discuss it with his brother Ma Tianhai to try to stop the flint trade of the Aqitu tribe as soon as possible.
After returning to his tent, Ma Tianming found his younger brother Ma Tianhai and asked him to go to the Aqitu tribe to follow his performance and perform the same operations in their tribe.
Ma Tianming came to the grassland this time because he was instructed by the supply and marketing cooperative to do this. How could he have the idea of going to Caoyuan to mess around without anyone giving him instructions. The purpose of the supply and marketing cooperative is naturally to use the relationship between these businessmen to establish a business in the grassland.
First, we will create some public opinion about the establishment of alliances and collars, and find ways to stir up some new forces, so as to provide a certain foundation for the official launch of the work in Yunzhong Province.
This kind of thing cannot be done overnight. After Ma Tianming walked around the caravan the next day, he left the caravan to continue doing business, and went back with a few people. Now people like Ao Ga still can't make up their minds. After waiting
After a while, the bullets will fly for a while before coming back to the grassland. They will be anxious about this and they will think of the direction.
After more than a month, Ma Tianming came to the Aihui tribe again. As soon as Ao Ga saw Ma Tianming, he hurriedly talked to Ma Tianming and got down to business, even skipping the false greetings.
"Shopkeeper Ma, you're finally here. If you don't come again, I'm going to look for you in my mouth."
"Chief, what's the emergency? Is it the person from the Aqitu tribe who is causing trouble again? Didn't I ask Tianhai to tell them the situation? We are all friends. If he is shameless, I will
I cut off relations with them, and I still don’t believe that I can’t deal with them.”
"Hey! What time is it now? Who cares about the little dispute with their tribe. The current situation is that neither we nor they may be able to keep this grassland."
"What do you mean? Another big tribe has come? We haven't traded flint and steel with any other tribe?"
"It's not your business! Didn't the Ming Dynasty want to establish an alliance and a territory? I heard someone said that a branch of the Naiman tribe not far from our tribe has a large population, and they want to establish a territory here. After they established a territory,
We will be in big trouble. I heard people say that lords have the right to govern the land. When the time comes, we will become a tribe under their leadership and will be governed by them in the future. They can still let us use such good things as flint and steel.
Do it?”
"Yes! I hurried here last time because I was afraid that this would happen! But the problem is that your tribe doesn't have enough people, so I really can't take care of it."
"One of our tribes doesn't have enough people, so how can the two tribes add up? I've thought about it these days, and the Aqitu tribe also has seven or eight hundred people. Our two tribes combined can have a thousand, sixty-seven people."
Ding, it should be enough to meet the minimum standard for establishing a leader. We need to ask the leader for help in this matter."
"It's easy to say, as long as you two tribes have reached an agreement, I will take care of the rest."
"Old friend, in addition to helping us apply for the establishment of the territory, I also need to trouble you to do something. When our two families merge to establish the territory, the position of the lord is very important. I talked with Aqitu a few days ago and I want to
As the two families take turns to be the lords, we now need a guarantor to ensure that our two families take turns to be the lords. Otherwise, someone may not be able to hold the position forever after becoming the lord."
"Let me be the guarantor? This is natural. But the problem is that I am just an ordinary businessman. If someone really dominates the position of lord and refuses to let go, where do I get the ability to force others to hand over power?"
"We have also come up with a plan for this matter. Whoever is the leader of our two tribes, your caravan will collect flint from the leader of the other tribe. In other words, one person will be in charge of the power inside, and the other will be in charge of the other.
Financial power. I wonder if Boss Ma thinks this is okay?"
"It seems like this can really work. Chief, Ma has agreed to be the guarantor."
Under the influence of Ma Tianming's intervention and the strong pressure from the outside world on the two tribes, the Aihui tribe and the Aqitu tribe took the step of cooperating to build a tribe. They will form a new dualistic tribe, and the name of the tribe is
The tribe started by Ma Tianming is called the Rock Tribe.
Devour
"Two leaders, as old friends, Ma is deeply honored to witness the important events of your tribe today. Before today, you were two different tribes. I hope that after today, under the leadership of the two leaders, the two tribes can be sincere
Cooperate and truly become a big tribe that is as united as a rock! The sand on the grassland is of no use, but after being cemented into stones with mud, you can build a strong house. I hope the two tribes will make solid houses.
Stones are used instead of loose sand. This grassland is large enough, and the flint-and-flint business is large enough to allow the people of the two tribes to develop together."
After saying a bunch of blessings for the grand event, Ma Tianming toasted with the two tribal leaders and other leaders in the tribe to celebrate this important moment.
The two tribes together were not actually a big tribe. Their combined population was less than two thousand, and they were not considered powerful lords even in the sparsely populated grasslands. Such a presence was exactly what the Ming court needed.
What Zhu Youjian told the Naturalization Office is that tribes with more than 5,000 people must be given administrative treatment at the leadership level, otherwise things will not work. But for tribes with less than 5,000 people, they need to be flexible.
In order to support a group of small and worried tribes, let them push forward and break the old power structure of the grassland.
What kind of tribe is a small and worried tribe? It has special economic value and is likely to grow rapidly. If the tribe's own potential is not enough and it is forced to pull it out, it will not only be laborious for the court, but it may not be effective. The so-called potential,
In fact, it is about economic value. They have minerals with great economic value on their territory, so they are naturally the most suitable candidates. The two small tribes that Ma Tianming worked for are very qualified.
