"Yes, he is Yi Lin's childhood sweetheart?" Zhou Jiping suddenly thought about it, and at the same time he was stunned by the answer. There was already a Duka, but another one came? He turned around and looked to the side.
Duka looked over and sure enough, Duka also had a look of embarrassment and nervousness on his face. Apparently, the unexpected appearance of Kahama also surprised Duka.
Since Yilin was getting heavier and heavier, she did not show up at the welcome ceremony this time. Zhou Jiping still wanted to see her afterward, and he didn't care that it was just now. Kahama, who suddenly appeared, was Du
Ka’s love rival, or his own love rival? Even Zhou Jiping himself couldn’t understand this
"What does Kahama do now? How long has he been here?" Zhou Jiping asked as if nothing had happened. In fact, there was one thing he didn't ask, which was whether Kahama had seen Yilin.
Of course Elder Jiwayo understood what Zhou Jiping meant. The old man replied: "He is a businessman. Although he is ashamed of the tribal tradition, he has brought some very cheap goods to the tribe this time. I suggest you meet him. According to him
He said that he has connections with some people from the Northern Army and can get food and daily necessities. If this road can be opened..." Elder Jiwayo did not say what he said later. His meaning was very clear. If this road can be opened...
, why bother to deal with the Bushmen who have had conflicts with him for nine years?
Zhou Jiping nodded and said, "I will meet him, but as for the cooperation, I think we need to study it carefully." Then, Zhou Jiping told Elder Jiwayo in detail about the Southern Tribal Alliance. After listening to Zhou
After Ji Ping's words, Elder Jiwayo nodded thoughtfully.
He understood that if this kind of tribal alliance could really be realized, it would indeed be of great benefit to Damon and the southern tribal areas. After all, there had been a war between the south and the north. This was an inextricable hatred that Kahama could bring.
It is just a little contraband that was bought by a certain warlord of the Northern Army and brought in. Once this trade is discovered by the Northern Military Government, the transportation of these goods will definitely encounter trouble. In order to maintain such a line, it may be impossible.
Yes, the unstable cargo channel does not harm the cooperative relationship with the Southern Tribal Alliance, which has greater prospects. Otherwise, this is really a choice between watermelons and sesame seeds. Such a choice is really unwise.
"Then when do you plan to see him?" Elder Jiwayo thought about the matter and relaxed, and asked Zhou Jiping casually
"Tomorrow!" Zhou Jiping still looked thoughtful, but not as relaxed as Elder Jiwayo. Jiwayo didn't know that Zhou Jiping was worrying about another thing.
After resting for less than half a day, darkness has fallen. The meeting to celebrate the release of the imprisoned people of the grassland tribes is about to begin.
The square in front of the temple is also the training ground for the Free Army and the field platoon during the day. In the current square, almost all the Soyo residents except the Free Army and the field platoon have gathered over two old car headlights that were temporarily turned on.
The square is illuminated in gray. In some dark corners that cannot be illuminated by lights, bonfires of various sizes are lit. People are talking excitedly around the bonfires, whispering various versions of festive news.
When Zhou Jiping led the elders of Soyo to appear, the crowd immediately burst into cheers. People all used excited shouts to express their admiration and love for Chief Damon and the managers of Soyo.
It can be seen that people's cheers are from the heart, and they are motivated by the various gratifying changes in Soyo recently.
At the celebration ceremony, Zhou Jiping first announced the news that the detained people from the grassland tribes would be released soon, and then explained that Damon and the Bushmen had restored the relationship between brother tribes. In addition, he also appropriately revealed that the two sides would
Carrying out large-scale trade, jointly building roads between the two sides, launching military cooperation, etc. His speech was interrupted several times by the cheers of Soyo residents in the audience. Almost everything he announced could arouse
The crowd in the audience was so excited that every time Zhou Jiping finished speaking, he would stop and wait for the cheers to stop.
"We have salt, we have livestock, a large amount of dried meat and animal skins from the season, and various rich specialties from the grassland. These things are all needed by the Bushmen or people further away.
We can obtain the materials we need from the Bushmen. In this way, the tribal people on the Imara grassland will soon become rich. From now on, we no longer have to worry about hunger or the children who are born.
Starve to death..." Looking at the people in the audience cheering like a tsunami, even though Zhou Jiping had no desire to be a leader or a fan of officials, he couldn't help but add some incitement to his speech.
Come, the people in the audience are even crazier and more excited...
"Through military cooperation, we can obtain weapons to protect our lives. After the tribal alliance is formed, the southern tribal areas will become stronger and safer. For some forces trying to threaten the security of tribal areas, we are enough
To intimidate them is enough to ensure our need for a safe life." In Zhou Jiping's words, the southern tribal alliance seems to have become stronger, and the Imara grassland seems to be safe forever.
Although Zhou Jiping appropriately caters to people's hearts, he has not reached the point where he is too hot-headed and throws everything out. For example, Zhou Jiping did not talk about the Southern Tribal Alliance and the diamond trade. After all, there are still some outsiders here.
, and the people's sense of confidentiality is basically not the same. Under such circumstances, it is better not to tell these things. But just counting the news he just announced, for these Soyo residents who have just escaped from hunger and unstable life.
For them, that’s enough, enough to keep them excited for a while
Although they once believed that trading and businessmen were shameful behaviors and despicable industries, they also knew that without trading, the grassland residents would continue to live in poverty and instability in the past. The reality is reality, and they cannot
They will stick to their so-called "tradition" and continue the unstable and precarious lifestyle of the past. What's more, many of them have obtained more or less benefits from some of the "lower businesses" in the past.
