Taking the opportunity of the alliance, Li Chao was arrogant and signed land purchase contracts with many tribes.
In one go, he bought a large area of land, and also bought a lot of mountains and forests.
The village chiefs of those Shanyi villages were all elated, and they felt that they had picked up a big bargain.
Each of their tribes occupies a large area of land and forests, and if they sell some to Li Chao, they can exchange for a large number of exquisite goods of the Tang people, and they feel that it is very cost-effective.
Li Chao also thinks it's a good deal.
He did come up with a lot of real money, but it was nothing compared to the large tract of land he bought, as well as mountains, forests, mines, etc.
Those mountains and forests can include a lot of timber, mineral deposits, gold, coal and copper and iron ore, and I don't know how much it is worth.
What's more, the money given to these Shanyi, they changed hands and bought and bought them here with Li Chao, and they returned to Li Chao.
"Happy cooperation, toast to the alliance" Li Chao raised his glass.
The chiefs, who wore colorful aprons and feathers on their heads, actually stammered and shouted the word "Cheers".
They held the delicate celadon wine glasses and drank the sweet wine with pleasure.
"Friends, we are here to form an alliance and establish a council.
The council was established, and I propose that in the future, the tribes within the alliance will no longer vendetta against each other, and no longer hunt each other's heads.
We get along well and develop together. ” After listening to the interpreter's words, a large tribal chief frowned, "Headhunting is a long-standing tradition of ours, and this tradition cannot be abolished. ” "I respect everyone's traditions, and I didn't say that I want to abolish the tradition of grass, I just proposed that all of us here in the future will be a family, so there is no need to attack each other.
It's okay to get out of the grass, but we don't do it to our own people. ” Li Chao smiled and drew everyone's attention to the other tribes that didn't come.
"I respect your traditions, and for that reason, I propose that we hold a big grass of the Alliance.
It can also be regarded as a coming-of-age ceremony for the young men of more than 300 tribes of our alliance, and we will also prepare some prizes for them, those who successfully hunt human heads in the grass will receive a fine and sharp Datang horizontal knife, and the top ten of them will also get more exquisite gifts."
Big out of the grass.
In fact, it was a joint alliance of the tribes that came to form an alliance, but crusaded against the dozens of tribes that did not come.
In the name of grass, under the pretext of holding a coming-of-age ceremony for the teenagers, the party is the same.
If this operation is successful, then Li Chao will be able to pull them to conquer the rest of the tribes on the island in the future.
"The spoils of war won by the grass are distributed among the various departments according to the amount of their efforts."
Li Chao said with a smile.
Li Chao's proposal is heartwarming.
It is indeed the tradition of the Shanyi tribe to produce grass, but this tradition is actually because of the harsh living environment.
Li Chao proposed this big grass, in the future, the tribes within the alliance will no longer hunt for each other's head, but unanimously with the outside world, which will undoubtedly make their living conditions much better.
In addition, Li Chao proposed the distribution of the spoils of war, and now no one from the tribal leaders objected.
Headhunting is a tradition, and they will hunt heads in all situations.
For example, fighting for the hunting ground, such as juvenile adulthood, such as to prove courage, such as because of hatred.
For a variety of reasons, they can be headhunters.
But if you can destroy the enemy village, rob their forest farms, and divide their spoils, this is naturally happy for everyone.
After the alliance was established, the first treaty law was also established, and the tribal alliance attacked and defended the alliance, unanimously externally, and no vendetta and headhunters were allowed internally.
The alliance also set the first task, to hold a large grass, and the target was the forty-four tribes that did not come.
Because Li Chao offered to bear the expenses of this grass, Li Chao was naturally elected by the tribes as the leader of the alliance.
The leaders of the other tribes became representatives of the parliament, and Li Chao was the speaker, and their chiefs were elected as council members in the thirteen small internal alliances of the alliance.
Li Chao sent his own liaison officers to the tribes, and the various departments also stationed them in the village.
The liaison officer brought a few assistants with him, and it was actually a liaison group, including teachers, doctors, and businessmen.
Li Chao asked them to set up liaison stations in various villages, set up medical and teaching points, provide free medical treatment and teach children to read in tribal villages, and set up merchant stations in various places to sell commercial goods and buy goods from them.
In the afternoon, a grand banquet was held in the city, and the chiefs of the tribes ate and drank happily and returned with a full load.
A large number of liaisons, instructors, barefoot doctors, and businessmen that Li Chao had prepared long ago also followed back.
"I really can't imagine that these Shanyi actually follow Wen Yuan's command in everything."
Fan Lubing was amazed.
Standing on the gate tower of Ryuqiu Castle and watching thousands of mountains leave one after another, the scene was indeed spectacular.
Li Chao smiled, "They don't follow my command, but follow interests."
These people have benefited a lot from our dealings, especially the chiefs, to whom I have given a great deal of benefit. ” "It's just some commercial goods, and it's not worth much."

Fan Lubing shook his head and smiled.
This time he bought a lot of new land and mountain and forest mineral deposits, and the Li family could move more people to Liuqiu, and after this time, Li Chao could also buy the captured Shanyi from the Shanyi as slaves and mine those newly bought mines for him.
The Shanyi are scattered, although there are a large number of them, but the former Han people do not come, and they themselves fight every day, even if it is the two adjacent tribes, they are feuds.
In the past, Ryuqiu also had one or two big alliances, but in the end they collapsed.
Li Chao gave a little temptation of benefits, and these people took the bait.
They don't even have a concept of the country, so they don't have a big picture.
Anyway, the Tang people are so generous and bold, of course, they have a good relationship with the Tang people.
"In the future, we will use this alliance to continue to conquer other tribes on the island.
Through trade and education, we are slowly becoming our people.
Li Chao explained to Fan Lubing that Li Chao spent so much effort to envelop the mountains around Liuqiu City, and implemented a long-range attack strategy.
Inbreeding is to avoid attacks and losses in the immigrant area, and to have a stable and safe space for development.
As for the long-range attack, of course, it was to weaken the power of the Shanyi on the island and finally prepare for the Li family to control the entire Ryukyu Island.
If Li Chao hadn't run Liuqiu as a base camp, where would he be so polite with a group of Shanyi.
Not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Shanyi, even one million, it is just a source of slaves in Li Chao's eyes.
At the beginning, Li Chao did think so, set up several slave capture teams, captured the island and transported them to sell.
It can not only provide labor for the manors and territories of the Li family, but also secretly train some private troops.
But now Li Chao has changed his thinking, it is right for the imperial court to include Liuqiu in the territory, but this is also the fief of the Li family, and the entire island is the fief of the Li family.
The Li family enjoys one-third of the right to pay taxes, and at the same time, the sky is high here, and the emperor is far away, and the Li family operates here, which is very convenient.
It is also easy to get up close to the southeast coast.
Back at the castle, Zhang Zhongjian came to Li Chao with wine.
"What we do, the emperor will know sooner or later."
Bearded man.
"All of this I do is for a better tomorrow."
Li Chao took out the cup and put one in front of one person, "Another tired day has passed." ” "Actually, what I don't understand is that with your achievements today, you can sit back and enjoy wealth and wealth, why do you have to work so hard and even take risks" Zhang Zhongjian poured half a glass of wine for each of them.
Li Chao picked up the wine glass and shook the red wine in the glass.
The wine is scarlet, this is a very fine wine, using the grapes grown by the Li family on the whale slope of Chang'an, the grapes are the grape varieties transported from Gaochang in the Western Regions, and the wine made from this grape is the purest and most delicious.
These wines from the Whale Gully in Bashang are not produced in high yields, but they have excellent taste and are quite precious.
"The Whale Gully vineyard in Wude's six-year year old ripened for the first time, and the wine produced was quite small, and drinking a bottle was one bottle less."
Zhang Zhongjian took a sip with a smile, looking intoxicated.
Li Chao sipped gently.
"The current situation is indeed very good, but without a hundred days of flowers, who can guarantee that our good prosperity situation can be maintained for a long time?
Today, the emperor supports the development of industry and commerce, and perhaps one day the emperor will suddenly want to suppress business, and if we are not prepared at all, we will just let it be slaughtered. ” "If we want to keep the good situation we have today, we must have the ability to protect ourselves, and even limit the imperial power one day in the future.
My goal is to hope that in the future, we, the nobles, the new industrial and commercial owners, will be able to compete with the imperial power and maintain the current good situation. ” Zhang Zhongjian tasted the wine.
"Old man, I'm a handful of old men, half of my body buried in the ground, although it's not the first time I've heard you say this, but every time I hear it, I still feel a little scared.
Throughout the ages, you are the first person who dares to plan this kind of thing. ” He paused, put away his smile, and said, "I ask you a question seriously, what you have done is really just as you said, to keep this good situation, instead of secretly preparing to rebel, do you want to be the emperor one day?"
Li Chao shook his head.
"I never wanted to be an emperor, and if I did, then I would have succeeded, but it would be just repetition and repetition, and there would be no progress.
What I want is to completely change this era.
An era of imperial power bound by a charter, an era in which the emperor ruled the world together with nobles and scholars, an era in which industry and commerce flourished, an era in which the country was strong and the people were prosperous, and an era in which there was long-term peace and stability, rather than a cycle of turmoil in two or three hundred years. ” "Do you know that your words make my old bones boil.
It is an ideal country that people yearn for, and I, Zhang Zhongjian, am also willing to work with you.
May you not turn your back on what you said today. ” Zhang Zhongjian looked at Li Chaodao, the first time he heard Li Chao say this, he had already decided to fight with this deviant person, and now, he still has not wavered. t1706231537:
