Chapter 128 Benefits of Power
Yu Xiaotian and Fang An received the visitors one by one, accepted various gifts from them, and informed the stewirs of these immigrant villages of the purpose of their trip here.
Yu Xiaotian and Fang An did not play sloppy with them and made their words clear, that is, from now on, their sea wolves will enter this area and establish an order belonging to sea wolves here, requiring local immigrant villages to be under the control of sea wolves from now on.
And the sea wolf will provide them with all kinds of materials they need and make a fair deal with them. At the same time, they will also provide protection to reduce or avoid being harassed by pirates or local indigenous people in the future.
However, in return, these immigrant villages must accept their management, pay various taxes to the sea wolves, and work hard according to the requirements of the sea wolves to help the sea wolf build a city. At the same time, they accept the dispatch of the sea wolves to organize villagers to participate in the inoccupation of the local natives.
The conditions are very simple, that is, from now on, the freshwater river basin will no longer be a no longer a masterless place. He will become the new owner of the sea wolf in the sky. The mountains and rivers here will be branded as sea wolves from now on.
As soon as this came out, these old immigrants were shocked, because they knew the identity of the sea wolf. The sea wolf was not an official identity or sent by Daming. Their identity was pirates, and the appetite of this group of pirates was so great that they actually wanted to swallow the whole northern part of Taiwan Island and become the jurisdiction of their sea wolves. Domain.
And what kind of virtue pirates are in their impression? Of course, they all have an account. These people are greedy and easy to kill, bloody and cruel, and scratch the ground three feet where they pass. If such a group of people come here to control them, I'm afraid their good life will come to an end.
So most of the immigrant stewards, after listening to Yu Xiaotian and Fang An talk about their conditions, their expressions were uncertain and they sat there silently for a long time.
Yu Xiaotian looked at these immigrant patriarchs and steweders and said with an indifferent smile, "You must think that Yu must be a greedy person!"
Yes, Yu does not deny that he is a pirate. In your eyes, I am a Japanese pirates! But remember, I'm not a Japanese bandits in Xiaotian. I'm a decent Han Chinese! And he was born as a Han man and died as a Han ghost!
After I became a thief from the sea, I firmly believed that there was a way to steal, and I was also poor (this guy has indeed been relatively poor in later generations! Hey hey!) I know that it is not easy for you to survive.
So you can rest assured that after someone comes here, I will never be as violent to you as you think, or even kill innocent people and oppress good deeds!
If you are interested, you can go to my Nanri Island now to see how the lives of the civilians under my jurisdiction are, and you will know that Yu is true!
It happens that I can't stay here for a long time. You can choose a villager and follow me to Nanri Island to see how I act on someone! Yu swore that I would send a ship to send them back here in a month, and I would never do any harm!
Although I came here, it may have increased your burden in your eyes. From now on, you have to pay taxes and work hard to help me do things.
But there are always two sides to things. You can also think about it. Yu's coming here will also bring you great benefits!"
At this time, a middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Benefits? So please tell us what benefits you can bring us here?"
Yu took a look at this strong middle-aged man and nodded, "Good question! If I remember correctly, you should be Chen Peng from Chenzhai!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he seemed to regret that he jumped out, and his momentum suddenly weakened. After swallowing his breath, he hugged his fist and said, "Yu Da's good memory! It's right here."
Yu Xiaotian smiled and nodded to signal Chen Peng to sit down, and then said, "I appreciate Mr. Chen's courage! Very good! This is a man! You don't have to worry, I'm not so careful! Ha ha!
What you asked is exactly what I want to say. What benefits can I bring you here? This is actually very simple.
Let's talk about the most immediate thing! You have been here for seven or eight years, and I'm afraid the shortest one is about two years old!
What have you lived these years? In addition to the things you brought, you work by yourself here, looking free, but are you really living a good life?
You don't even have a few decent pots, and the farm tools are broken and there is no place to repair them. Although Majiabao used to have regular businessmen to trade with you, don't I say that you don't know how high the price you have to pay and how few things you get?
The Ma family used to collude with profiteers to make profits from you. You need two buckskin for a hoe, a stone of brown rice, four buckskin for an iron pot, and a few buckskin or a lot of grain for the cheapest sackcloth.
But after I come here, you don't have to be so bullied and ripped off. I can trade with you fairly, and I don't do anything secret. Since I deal with you, I will definitely make a profit, but I will set a price that makes you feel fair to meet your needs!
You have actually felt this before. To tell you the truth, the goods supplied in Caojia Village are sent by my sea wolf. You know the price compared with the price of your previous visit to Majiabao!
And once I come here, the price of the things I give you will be lower. From now on, you don't have to worry about the lack of clothes, farm tools and daily necessities!
And when what you get is given to me, I will also give you a better price so that you can get more benefits!
This is the minimum!"
After Yu Xiaotian said this, he stopped talking, took a sip of water, glanced at several immigration village stewens here, saw a consenting expression on their faces, and someone was secretly nodding.
Yu Xiaotian put down the tea bowl and said, "Let me ask you, you have been here for such a long time, do you know why you have not been able to develop? Each one is just cultivating a small piece of land, but they don't dare to expand their fields?
Chen Peng immediately replied, "This is simple. It's not because of those natives. They wait around me and harass us from time to time. We dare not leave the village far away without permission. When we farm outside the village, we will be killed by them if we are not careful!
And in our villages, we have limited manpower, so we can only stare, but there is nothing we can do!"
Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "That's right! But you only know one and the other! That is, there has never been any connection between you, and even you have coveted each other's territory and have no effective cooperation at all!
Think about it, how can you fight against the natives of the surrounding indigenous tribes with the strength of your own village? So for so many years, you can only stay in a small place and dare not be too far away from the village to expand your farmland!
After I came, it was much easier to do this! Because I can protect you so that you can expand your farmland!
I can establish an order to manage all your immigrants and integrate your strength to fight against the natives. What's so terrible about the natives? If you want to get more farmland, what else can't you do?
If it weren't for my control, you would still be scattered and fight separately. Although you are still living here, haven't you ever worried that one day if you are careless, you may be destroyed by the natives?
I'm here. This is the greatest benefit you get, because I have much stronger force than you, and I can protect you! Isn't that enough?" When Yu Xiaotian said this, he suddenly slapped the table, shaking the tea bowls on the table.
Yu Xiaotian suddenly raised his tone and slapped the table, which made these immigrants jump up in shock. They bowed their heads and bent down one by one.
In fact, Yu Xiaotian said a very simple truth, that is order! Any place needs an order. Even if the person who establishes this order is an asshole, it is at least better than no order. Every immigrant village has a stewener or patriarch, that is, they have established their own order in their immigrant village, but this order is limited to their own narrow circle. Son, you can only use their limited power to protect yourself.
However, Yu Xiaotian's strong settlement here can integrate the forces of the villages here, and with his own force, he can naturally unite these immigrants and exert greater strength. This principle is very simple. Once it is explained, even a pig can figure out the benefits.
So the stewards of these immigrant villages understood what Yu Xiaotian meant and thought it was reasonable. They had always thought that the sky was far away from the emperor, and there was no government's exploitation and fraud. They could live a more comfortable life, but it was difficult to survive here, but they let them Knowing that what Yu Xiaotian said today made them feel that there really needed someone to take care of them and take them to do something.
"Since Yu has come, I don't plan to leave in the future. There are many wastelands here now, and I will emigrate here in large numbers in the future. Only when there are more people coming from land will it become more and more prosperous and lively. You can live a better and better life unless you are content with the status quo and feel like eating here and waiting. Death is already very satisfying, otherwise you should welcome me, because I can bring you more benefits!
But I also hope you can understand a truth. When I come here, I represent a strong power, and you must listen to me!
Although I insist on stealing, it does not mean that I am a kind-hearted person. My work is destined not to be a soft-handed person. If anyone is unwilling to accept the order I gave you, what is the result?
I can make it clear to you that I can't allow people who don't accept my control to continue to stay here under my nose to make trouble for me!
Linjia Village will be my first target to deal with, because when I sent someone to inform them to come here to discuss this matter, they not only did not promise to come, but also maliciously and shot arrows to try to hurt my subordinates!
You can watch the battle with me tomorrow! Let you also see my means to someone!"
Yu Xiaotian spoke to these people again, and finally suddenly mentioned a village in Linjia Village.
