Chapter 947: Really Preparing to Join

Returning to the room, Baoxi sat down and asked the Soldiers, "What do you think of Huaxia? Do you want to become Huaxia people?"

One Soldier immediately stated, "Tribal Chief, although Huaxia is very wealthy, I still want to stay in the Suiren Clan; I do not want to be in Huaxia."

Baoxi's expression did not change: "Did I not say that I want the entire Suiren Clan to merge into Huaxia? Did you not hear a single word of that today?"

"Tribal Chief, I heard you, but that is not very likely, is it? Our Suiren Clan is so powerful, and we live quite well, so I think you must be trying to find a way to seize Huaxia, right?"

Baoxi looked at the other Soldiers: "What about you? Do you all think the same?"

Those Soldiers naturally envied the life in Huaxia and wanted to be there, but who knew what was on the Tribal Chief's mind? After all, the news of suddenly joining Huaxia was truly too incredible. When the Tribal Chief said it in front of Baifeng, several of them were so shocked they almost forgot how to walk.

But thinking about it carefully, it was completely impossible and made no sense at all. The Tribal Chief had suddenly thought of coming to Huaxia and it was his first time here. Now, the development of the Suiren Clan was gradually improving and the future looked bright, so why would he suddenly want to join Huaxia? What was the benefit? They could slowly acquire these good things from Huaxia, but once they joined Huaxia, the entire tribe would effectively cease to exist.

The Suiren Clan was a tribe established by the first generation of the Suiren Clan; among the human race, its name was renowned. How could they, who were on par with the Shennong Clan, just casually join a tribe that had only been established for a short time? They had their own pride and dignity.

If they were really going to join, it must be that the Tribal Chief was preparing some method to plunder Huaxia's wealth; it could not be that he really intended to do this. Therefore, they all hurriedly echoed, "Tribal Chief, we definitely want to stay in the Suiren Clan, but if you want us to do anything in Huaxia, we will certainly obey your orders."

Baoxi slumped back into his chair: "Sigh, why are you all like this? Why are you so stupid and foolish?"

I am not plotting to seize Huaxia's wealth; I am truly prepared to let the Suiren Clan merge into Huaxia. Huaxia has surpassed the Suiren Clan by too much; we have no possibility of catching up at all.

And just as Baifeng said, the Xuanyuan Tribe is now so powerful; perhaps in a few years, our tribe will also have to face such a formidable opponent. Once we fail, our Suiren Clan will truly be destroyed. Not to mention how many of our Soldiers and tribesmen will die, even those who survive will basically face the fate of being Slaves.

Now, even the Shennong Clan is facing the possibility of destruction under the joint attack of Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe. Do you think we can survive?

Although I do not know what the Xuanyuan Tribe is like, Huaxia is already strong enough and wealthy enough. Our tribe can cease to exist, but as long as not a single tribesman dies, that is enough. And in Huaxia, in the future, or even within a few years, we will be able to live in houses like this and have enough to eat every day. Is that not good?

So, I am serious. If you want to stay in the Suiren Clan, that is fine too; the Suiren Clan has such a large territory, enough for you to survive in until you die."

At this, all the Soldiers panicked. When they heard they were really going to join Huaxia, they were secretly happy—who wouldn't want to live better? But if they were to be abandoned in the Suiren Clan to live a hard life, they certainly would not be willing.

"Tribal Chief, Tribal Chief, we definitely want to follow you. Wherever you go, we go. Being in Huaxia is fine too; we will follow all your arrangements."

Baoxi looked at these Soldiers, feeling a sense of sorrow in his heart. Apart from being able to protect him along the way and fend off wild beasts, they actually had no other capabilities.

He had seen the Soldiers of Huaxia; they stood straight at the entrance of the house where Baifeng lived, their bodies were sturdy, and their Weapons were so good.

Although his own men did not lose out in terms of physique, and their Weapons were also made of Bronze, he truly felt that his men were inferior to those of Huaxia. They were not as smart as the Huaxia Soldiers, not as good at fighting, and as for what they had... sigh.

Thinking further, his own tribesmen, apart from hunting and gathering, actually knew nothing. In the morning, under Baifeng's guidance, he had looked at the work done by the Huaxia officials. Let alone his own tribesmen or the Leaders under him, even he himself was completely lost and knew nothing. Could his tribesmen really have the same competitiveness in Huaxia? Could they really receive the same treatment?

Baoxi was very doubtful, but now it was out of his hands. The situation was as it was; he just had to ensure all his tribesmen could survive. Anyway, he still had to continue negotiating and discussing with Baifeng. He had to strive for certain benefits for his people on the basis of them being well-fed, well-clothed, and well-housed, so that they could enter the management level and become Huaxia officials.

Otherwise, once his tribesmen arrived in Huaxia, they would forever be at the very bottom, perhaps even living worse than the few Slaves in this courtyard.

Baoxi helplessly waved his hand at the Soldiers: "Go out, go out, go and rest."

…………

After Baoxi closed his eyes to rest on the chair, the first thing he wanted to do was actually to wash up, because he also wanted to properly experience and enjoy the Huaxia lifestyle first.

If he could not provide such a life for his own tribesmen, then let more capable people do it. He had worked hard his whole life; he could enjoy it a little in advance, right?

Baoxi was not worried about his own future. As a Tribal Chief of hundreds of thousands, having brought his tribesmen to join Huaxia, no matter what, Baifeng would have to give him a high enough status and enough wealth.

Even if his ability was not enough to serve as a Huaxia official, the things that should be given must be given. Therefore, Baoxi was certain that in the future, he would be able to live in such a luxurious house and use the best of everything.

He called over a servant and had the servant teach him how to correctly use a Huaxia faucet and how to brush his teeth. He wanted to learn every aspect of this lifestyle well.

While brushing his teeth, Baoxi suddenly asked: "Is everyone in Huaxia like this, washing their faces and brushing their teeth every day?"

The servant, who had been serving him the whole time, hurriedly answered Baoxi's question: "That is correct, Tribal Chief Baoxi. However, most people do not have such convenient things. They have to fetch their own water using buckets or jars. The tooth powder used for brushing teeth is simply salt or Charcoal Powder. But what you are using is the finest, most refined salt, with Charcoal Powder added, and it seems some fragrant Grass has been added as well. Ordinary people cannot afford it."
