Chapter 237 Promise
The other tribe chiefs were respected by the Fire Chiefs. The Fire Chiefs had already made such statements. The other tribe chiefs also made statements, and their attitudes were similar to those of the Fire Chiefs. It was simply that they were willing to lend half of their tribes to Chen State for use.
Chen Dong also knew along the way that several tribes were not small tribes, and the population of each tribe could be at least comparable to that of the Black Water Tribe. If the promises of these tribe chiefs were sincere, then nearly 5,000 people would be lent to Chen.
Five thousand people are not much for any era in later generations. Any large-scale construction recorded in history is tens of thousands. The manpower spent in Qin Shihuang to build a tomb in those days was expressed in hundreds of thousands, and even the construction of Afang Palace started with hundreds of thousands.
But five thousand people are already enough for Chen Guo in this era.
There are only so many strong men who can be used in the Chen State.
The chiefs of these tribes do not know the number of numbers. If Chen Dong wants to know the specific numbers of the people they sent, he can only count them himself.
At this time, Chen Dong could only say sincerely, "That's what I want to thank the tribe chiefs."
Afterwards, Chen Dong said embarrassedly: "There is another thing. Dear chiefs, I, Chen State, have too little surplus grain. Even if you send people there, Chen State will not have any food for them to eat."
Chen Dong was not stingy. He said this. If Chen State had enough food, Chen State would not have cooperated with several tribes and directly entrust several tribes to Chen State.
If a few tribes join Chen State in another way, why should Chen Dong discuss with them like this? If you encounter something, just gather them together and notify them to deal with it.
When Chen Dong was still thinking about this, the Chief of the Fire Tribe said directly: "This is not a difficult task. We can provide them with food. Anyway, they have to eat in their respective tribes. You guys say so!"
Several tribal chiefs now felt that they had taken a big advantage, so they quickly agreed with the chief of the Fire Department and said, "Yes, yes, we can equip them with food."
"Okay, thank you for saying this!" Chen Dong said with a smile.
"Mu, go and take out all the wine we brought with us this time. I and a few tribal chiefs will drink a few glasses first."
Chen Dong also brought some wine this time. He was originally for him to drink it, but it was not easy to brew it if Mu Zhixiao. Chen did not have a lot of food, so he would never drink wine easily.
However, Chen Dong would drink some for a long time, but it was not just some, and he would never drink too much.
Chen Dong drank tea at the Fire Department, and then he took out the wine and asked the Chief of the Fire Department to taste it. Chen Dong admitted that he was completely trying to compete with the Chief of the Fire Department at that time, and now when he took out the wine, he really wanted to invite several tribe chiefs to drink.
The Fire Tribe and several other tribes have already started growing grain at first sight. They have been growing grain for at least ten years. They have accumulated a lot of grain over such a long time. If they drink well, they can use the grain that is about to become moldy.
After all, this brewing process was taught to them free of charge, and they would inevitably give out some to repay Chen Dong.
The time for Chen State to grow grain is too short. Even though it has been good every year in recent years, the harvest of grain is still pretty good, but the amount of grain stored is still pitiful. If you use these grains to make wine, then once some disaster occurs, the entire Chen State will suffer.
Chen Dong's heart was still too soft after all, and he could not make the whole Chen Kingdom hungry for the sake of wine.
The Chief of the Fire Tribe couldn't accept it when he first drank the wine brought by Chen Dong. After drinking it, he realized the deliciousness.
Now when Chen Dong took out the wine again, Chief Fire Tribe's eyes were straight.
"This wine requires food to be brewed, and the food owned by Chen State is also limited. This wine is extremely scarce in Chen State. That is, the chiefs of various tribes can drink some of it, and it is not common for you to drink it today, so it is a blessing."
The Chief of Fire Department then echoed Chen Dong and said, "It's really good. I've tried some."
The wine Chen Dong brought was just for him to drink on the way, and he didn't bring much. Chen Dong was able to take it out and share it with them because the matter discussed with them had a result.
Now the relationship between Chen State and your tribe is at least a partner. Sharing the fruits of victory with partners is also considered to be his sincerity. What's more, the Huo Tribe and other tribes have so much food. If they drink well, maybe they start brewing by themselves, and Chen Dong can get a piece of it anyway.
Chen Dong didn't bring much, so he couldn't stop drunk with those tribe chiefs. He just tried it out.
After each person took a sip, the wine in Chen Dong's wine pot was already bottomed out.
The chief of the Tumen tribe has always been hiding from Chen Dong and dared not talk to Chen Dong too much. He was afraid that Chen Dong would mention what happened in Chen State, but after drinking the wine Chen Dong brought, he couldn't help but talk to Chen Dong on his own initiative.
"King Ping, can this wine be passed on to several tribes for me and others?"
If Chen Dong wanted to expose the lies of the chief of the Tu tribe, or if he was saying the embarrassing words of the chief of the Unearth Division in front of several tribe chiefs, he would have spoken long ago, and there was no need to wait until now.
The chief of the Tu tribe was always careful when he talked to Chen Dong, and there seemed to be some begging in his eyes.
Everything seemed to be just the chief of the Tu tribe who thought too much. Chen Dong didn't even say a word of extra words and said directly: "Of course, since we have cooperated now, as long as you want to learn, as long as I am Chen State, I will teach you free of charge. After I go back, I will send people who know how to brew wine to your tribes. In return, you will only give me some jars of wine in Chen State."
Chen Dong had no other requirements on other issues, and only Chen Dong made his own request while making wine.
At present, wine is also a relatively scarce thing in Chen Guo. When you are scarce, you naturally have to make some extra requests.
What's more, Chen Dong's request was not too excessive. If Chen Dong hadn't let them know the wine, it would be completely unknown when their food would be left there for so long.
The Ministry of Earth seems to have a lot of food, and it is so fast to agree to Chen Dong’s request, "Okay, no problem."
Chen Dong cooperated with several tribes with sincerity, so he did not dig a hole for him in this matter. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to you after I go back."
At this time, Chen Dong could actually make the Chief of the Tumen promise to give him how many jars of Chen after the wine was brewed. He had no idea about how many jars were, and he had no idea about how much food could be brewed.
If Chen Dong sincerely digs a hole for him, he can completely let the Tushima brew wine for Chen Guo for free. Chen Dong can guarantee that if he wants to plot against the Tushima, he will have no chance of winning at all.
In fact, if Chen Dong really plots against his Tumen, he can still tell the past, and no one can say anything about this matter.
After all, his Tumen and others led people to beat Chen Guo, and although they did not get any advantage, they were also beaten.
Since you have fought, you have to pay the price for it.
