Chapter 260: The Return of the Copper Ministry
Chen Dong's generous decision surprised the chiefs of several tribes, and at the same time he became more and more impressed by Chen Dong. If they had the strength of Chen State, they would not be as kind to their tribe as theirs. If there were other tribes to talk about cooperation and send troops directly, wouldn't they have everything they wanted?
Chen Dong naturally didn't know that the chiefs of the Huo tribe and other tribes still had such ideas now. Chen Dong's thoughts naturally the chiefs of the Huo tribe and other tribes would not understand. Of course, Chen Dong didn't have to explain these to them. Even if Chen Dong really explained these to them, those people would understand them. Even if those people could understand, they would have to bear Chen Dong's kindness!
Now Chen Dong has given those tribes more and more benefits. The chiefs of the Huo tribe and other tribes are owed more and more to the more things they have to lose to Caidong. With more of these things, they will naturally be under pressure. If their pressure is too high, how can they cooperate with Chen State?
Before Chen Dong could answer the tribe chiefs, he said directly: "This way, I know that your tribes have nothing to compensate Chen State now, so I am not in a hurry. Let's talk about it when you have something to repay."
After Chen Dong said this, he smiled and said, "If I say I don't let you repay these words, you will feel uneasy. If you are uneasy, how can we cooperate in the future."
When Chen Dong first said that he wanted to set up traps for various tribes, these tribe chiefs might still be a little excited. When Chen Dong said that he would leave the people he lends to them in various tribes for a period of time, they felt a little upset.
As Chen Dong said, the more they owe Chen State, the more uneasy they feel.
"You are very happy in the previous cooperation with me, Chen Guo, and I still trust you very much. What's more, your tribes have helped me, Chen Guo, very much."
Chen Dong explained this and the chiefs of those tribes were relieved.
Chen Dong smiled again and said, "To thank you, I, Chen, have prepared some farm tools for your tribes. The autumn harvest is coming soon. I hope these farm tools can be used."
Chen Dong's move was really generous. The farm tools he gave were actually completely unnecessary. Anyway, cooperation with various tribes has been achieved. Even if his farm tools were sent out, those tribes could only owe him more and more Chen State.
What's more, these agricultural tools in Chen State are made of iron. If the chiefs of those tribes re-melted these agricultural tools, it would be easy to make weapons. Anyway, every tribe can melt bronze tools, so it would be no difficulty to replace them with iron.
Those tribal chiefs would not think of melting the farm tools that Chen Dong gave them into weapons. They could only admire Chen Dong more and more, and they wanted to cooperate with Chen State for a long time.
Anyway, Chen Dong gave all the things he could take out at the moment. As for how those tribes do it, it depends on how they express it.
After Chen Dong finished speaking, the Chief of the Fire Tribe quickly said: "King Ping, the harvest of the Fire Tribe this time should be pretty good. Several tribes such as the Fire Tribe are willing to give Ping King 10,000 kilograms of grain."
Ten thousand kilograms of grain are just a drop in the bucket for the tribes such as the Fire Tribe. So much grain is just a day's loss for his tribes. But if this grain is given to Chen State, Chen Dong will be able to increase these grains exponentially in the next year.
With food, the population of Chen State can grow at the fastest speed.
Chen State now seems to be stronger than the tribes such as the Fire Tribe, and it is not a little powerful, but only Chen Dong knows that Chen State's population and food are far from knowing, and there is no ability to compete with those tribes.
Those tribes have a population of four digits, and the population of Chen State is only four digits. If they compete with those tribes, they can't add up all the population of Chen State, right?
If the old, weak, women and children of Chen really compete with the elite soldiers and generals of those tribes, even if Chen's weapons are stronger than those tribes, they may not be able to win.
Chen's current strength can only be to slowly improve his strength in defense. Now that Chen has houses and food, he has become more and more proficient in the prevention and control of various epidemics. The population growth is just a matter of time.
"Then I would like to thank the Chief of the Fire Tribe, and the chiefs of the other tribes."
The Chief of the Fire Department clearly stated that the food was given to Chen State, and Chen State gave them many tribes, so Chen Dong could only express his gratitude politely, and even if the rest was said, it was just nonsense.
Could it be that Chen Dong can still not have these things?
The chiefs of the Huo tribe and other tribes were in a very good mood when Chen Dong was verbally performed by Chen Dong. They felt that their relationship with Chen Dong had gone further through this matter. This time, in the few days of Chen State, they became more and more aware of the strength of Chen State compared to them.
The people from the Chen State were not very fond of the Fire Tribe and others because the chief of the Tu tribe had attacked the two tribes, but Chen Dong had already said that he wanted to give them something, and he did not show any hostility.
When the chief of the Tong tribe saw that the Chief of the Fire Department gave Chen the things and things, he was afraid that the relationship between the Fire Department and the Chen State would be greater than that of the Tong tribe and the Chen State, he immediately spoke impatiently: "King Ping, my Tong tribe is willing to give Chen State 20,000 kilograms of grain."
The people sent by Chen Dong have taught them a few days ago. The chiefs of these tribes have already had a general understanding of how much it is. They are definitely not just talking nonsense.
Under such circumstances, what is promised to Chen State will often be more effective.
When Chen Dong sent the fire department and other tribe chiefs, he never thought that they would give it like this, and directly gave Chen 30,000 kilograms of food.
When the Fire Tribe and other tribes gave Chen State 10,000 kilograms of grain, Chen Dong expressed his gratitude to them. Now the Chief of the Copper Tribe gave Chen State 20,000 kilograms of grain at once. Chen Dong should have expressed his gratitude to him.
Although the people of the Tong tribe are similar to those of the Fire tribe and other tribes, and their strength is similar to those of the several tribes, in the Tong tribe, the Chief of the Tong tribe alone made the final decision.
Although several tribes such as the Fire Tribe also followed the orders of the Chief of the Fire Tribe, their model was just a tribal alliance. If there were any problems, several tribes needed to discuss and solve them together.
Fortunately, people from those tribes understand one thing. In their current situation, they must be united. Just like those tribes such as the Fire Tribe, if they meet a smart person who wants to disintegrate their tribe, they can completely convince one of them and create a gap between them. At that time, their alliance will inevitably collapse.
Chen Dong saw this major disadvantage of the district mayor of the Fire Department, but he didn't want to take the Fire Department into his pocket.
Chen Dong also knew that only by allowing the strength of Chen State to continue to grow, then the Huo tribe and other tribes would beg to join Chen State to cooperate with Chen State. Their benefits were nothing more than drinking some soup. If they joined Chen State, they would be able to eat meat.
After drinking the soup for a long time, I naturally thought about eating meat.
