Chapter 1303: Unloading the Burden

"As for this, there is no problem at all. If you, Slave, wish to trade, it is entirely up to you; I will not interfere too much."

Chengqie did not expect it to be so easy to persuade him, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude; as long as he could train his Slaves well, he would be able to sell them for a good price.

This was the only thing Chengqie wanted to discuss with Baifeng, but he had been inexplicably stuck here for a long time, listening to everyone hold meetings; however, Chengqie still liked this feeling, because only in this way did he feel he had entered the management layer of Huaxia.

Everything went smoothly afterward. When Changle learned that the Slaves Chengqie had sent him had arrived, he did not pay much attention to it; in any case, there would be people to train them, and then they would be handled as they should be—he did not need to worry about this.

Some wealth belonged to him personally, but he also understood that some things should be managed by his father; after all, they were one family, and his own little treasury was enough for his expenses, so there was no need to take on this trouble for himself.

The next day, Chengqie could only follow Baifeng's request and head outside the city to provide psychological comfort to the tribesmen who were about to go to Xiao Town; although they had all been arranged to come by Tribal Chief Baoxi, it was, after all, a strange place, and they were always not quite at ease.

Yesterday, under the guidance of Huaxia officials, they were taken around Huaxia City, mainly to let them see the residential dwellings of Huaxia City and tell them that in Huaxia, they could all live in such houses, and Xiao Town was no exception.

Although the houses in Xiao Town now were said to be of earth-wood structure, they were also built very well; as long as they were well maintained, living in them for twenty or thirty years would be no problem.

In the future, they could also use ox carts, or organize their own transport teams, to go to Huaxia City to buy Cement to renovate their own homes and build better houses; as long as they had the strength and willingness, Huaxia City would certainly be able to reserve a certain supply of Cement for them.

As for Brick and Tile, Xiao Town could find clay itself and then build its own Brick and Tile Kiln to fire them; this was not a difficult task. Plus, Xiao Town was not too big and the population was not that large, so the demand for Brick and Tile was not that high; it was entirely possible for a few families to join together to fire a kiln of Brick and Tile for use, without needing to keep a Brick and Tile Factory open all year round.

Another thing was to take the people of Xiao Town to see the animal husbandry of Huaxia City; in such a short time, it was impossible to teach them very good techniques, so they could only be shown so they would have some preparation and know what to do in the future.

Xiao Town naturally had people from the Agriculture Department to guide production, and among the people who moved there, some families had experience in this area; in the future, they would certainly have to pass on their experience to the masses, as teaching them one by one was simply too late.

The farmland and orchards were just glanced at on the road; the farmland in Winter really had nothing to look at, just empty ground.

Letting them see these things in Huaxia City was to let them have some preparation in advance, and the effect seemed to be very good; a single visit had basically stabilized their hearts, as everyone longed for a beautiful life after all.

The appearance of Chengqie also stabilized their hearts even more. Although Chengqie had never been to Xiao Town, he knew what to say; after a passionate speech, he very smoothly made his tribesmen start to yearn for the days in Xiao Town.

Afterward, they received their supplies, and after the teams were reorganized and assigned, they marched toward Xiao Town in a grand procession under the escort of a team of Soldiers.

No one was worried, because the number of people was large enough and the food was more than enough; even if they encountered a snowstorm, with so many people, they could completely survive on the road, it was just that this season was not that suitable.

Watching the people walk away, a big burden in Baifeng's heart could be considered lifted. A major task of Huaxia could basically be brought to a close today; in the end, he just needed to receive news that Xiao Town had settled down securely, and then he could wait for the day when Xiao Town could also pay taxes to Huaxia, no longer needing Huaxia to provide blood transfusions, but instead being able to start feeding back into Huaxia.

The people of other Nobles also sent their own fiefs one after another; even Yishang's family, in order to complete this task, recruited more than a hundred people to come over, but Yishang already had people in the territory between Huaxia City and Lema City, and these people could not be settled.

Before, Yishang thought that he would just pull over a dozen or several dozen people and arrange for them to go to his own fief, or that he would provide food and let them survive on someone else's fief, but he did not expect that because of the super performance of Liuye and the others, even more people had been recruited.

Although so many people exactly matched Yishang's development plan for the territory of the Western Development Group, and there could even be a few hundred more, for the present, how to settle them was a problem.

Fortunately, Baifeng stepped in to solve it, saying that those people should go to the Pasture of Huaxia to graze; as for housing, they should just build some felt tents for them, just like a Yurt, which were quick to build and could also serve to keep out the cold.

This was also a benefit for Yishang, because letting those people go to the Pasture in advance to follow the grazing could be considered learning; whether it was next year or the year after that when arrangements were made for people to go over, they would already be able to count as qualified herdsmen.

The other Nobles naturally would not have any opinions, and they did not know what Yishang was planning in his heart; after all, every one of their families had exceeded their goals, and they were all secretly happy in their hearts, so they naturally would not care about such a small problem.

And what Baifeng felt was troublesome now was Xiong; for the whole of this year, Xiong had been fighting for Huaxia, but he had not received any benefits at all.

Fiefs and population were almost all absent; even this time when going to the Suiren Clan to ask for people, because there was no backbone who could make decisions, he did not participate, and Baifeng did not interfere in his family's private affairs, preparing to provide compensation afterward.

For the family of Chi and the family of Wu, Baifeng had taken the initiative to help, because the children were not that competitive and the younger generation could not compete with the older generation, so Baifeng should help.

As for the compensation for Xiong, Baifeng suddenly thought it through today; changing the fief or something now would be of no avail, and he had not changed the fief of the Western Development Group, but instead might have even taken advantage of it.

Since he said that he had obtained nearly four thousand Slaves on the Shennong Clan Battlefield, it would be better to give all these people to him; as for whether these people should be treated as ordinary farmers or as Slaves, Baifeng felt he needed to think about it in more detail.
