"What? Longboat tribe, you want to stay?"

The wooden house is low, with a faint smell of tobacco lingering in the nose, and a fresh earthy smell of crocodiles. Hearing Priest Tomat's words, Chief Splash's eyes widened in surprise, his mouth opened wide, with an expression of disbelief.

Priest Tomat took a good rest, with a faint smile on his face, ready for negotiation. Chief Splash's shock was exactly as he expected. However, when the other party spoke later, it was completely different from the conversation he had originally imagined!

"Ah! Priest Tomat, do you want to take the Longship tribe and join our Mayari tribe?"

Chief Splash scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and then showed a sincere smile.

"Well, with hundreds of young adults joining in, the tribe's food and houses will be a little tight. But it's okay! With so many young adults, we can divide the stems and cultivate a new cassava field! Wait for new cassava seeds Now, it is estimated that it will only take eight months to grow into a harvest, and then it can be harvested continuously for many years."

"By the way, you still have long boats, you can go fishing in the deep sea. I know a few bays in the north, where there are a lot of fish! Oh, and your thatched huts, as long as the rainy season is over , in September and October, you can mow the grass and build a house. The south is close to the height of the hill, and the land for building the house is ready-made. I will call on everyone to help with it.”

Chief Splash pinched his fingers, thinking one by one, and the speed of his mouth was getting faster and faster. Priest Tomat's Taino language has not long been learned, and his level is limited. After hearing this, he was already in a daze. He stared blankly at Chief Splash, and the expression on the other's face was indeed sincere, without any intention of insulting the kingdom.

"...Let the elite warriors of the kingdom join the Mayari tribe, and then farm, fish, and build thatched huts? Chief Splash, are you serious?"

Priest Tomat's face twitched, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind, but when they reached his mouth, they turned into simple and straightforward Taino language.

"Ah! Chief Splash, you made a mistake! We stayed here not because we want to join the Maria tribe, but because we want to create a new tribe by a river in the bay north of Shenshan!"

"Oh! Create a new tribe? So it's like this, the bay on the north side of the 'Sacred Mountain', by the river? Well, I know that location, so hurry up, it's only a day's journey. Right?"

Seeing Priest Tomat nodded solemnly, Chief Splash stopped. He thought about the terrain carefully, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"That location, I remember, I went there when I was hunting. It's really good! You can grow cassava by the river, and the bay to the north is surrounded by a lagoon, which is very suitable for fishing! Well, it's a good location to establish a tribe!"

Hearing that Chief Splash had clarified the location of Tiewan Town, Priest Tomat looked solemn, straightened his body, and was ready for negotiation again, before speaking calmly.

"Respected Chief Water Flower, the tribe we established is to protect the entire sacred mountain and also the bay. Therefore, we need all the land within a radius of fifty miles from the sacred mountain to the bay!"

"oh!"

Hearing this, Chief Splash paused slightly, nodded, and said nothing. Then, he and Priest Tomat stared at each other for a long while, but neither of them spoke.

After a while, Priest Tomat couldn't bear it anymore. He took the initiative to attack and asked in a deep voice.

"Then what?"

"Eh? What then?"

"That piece of land should belong to the Mayali tribe? What price do we need to pay to buy that piece of land?"

"Huh? Price? Buy land?"

Hearing this, Chief Shuihua's face showed a moment of bewilderment. Priest Tomat touched his chin, and patiently explained a few more words. After hearing this, Chief Splash shook his head and smiled. He told the story frankly, his eyes were clean, like a stream flowing down the hills of Cuba.

"Haha! Priest Tomat, the tribe you are from is really interesting. How can the land blessed by the gods and ancestors have an owner? The land is a gift from the gods, and it is not the tobacco and pottery produced by the village. Can it be traded and purchased?”

"This vast land belongs to all the tribes. No one is the owner of the land. We just work on the land and get the gift of the land! The land around the sacred mountain is very hard and hard, and no food can be grown. There should be no tribes. exists. And around the bay, there may be some small tribes of hundreds of people, occupying a little bit of land"

"So, whether it's the 'Sacred Mountain' or the bay, as long as the land has not been developed by other tribes, you can settle and develop it, cultivate the fields, and build villages. And when the village is built, the surrounding small tribes are likely to choose to join you .After all, you have a lot of adults, you have good bows and arrows to hunt, and you have good boats to fish."

Speaking of this, Chief Splash hesitated for a while, but added with a smile.

"Well, if there are young people in the village who want to join you and start a new tribe with you, I will not stop them. After all, building a new tribe requires a lot of manpower. In the epic written by the tribe, many years ago , the Mayali Department is also divided in the same way, but you have too many men and a shortage of women. But fortunately, you also have a lot of things on board."

"After your village has a prototype, I can send some hunters to contact the small tribes in the surrounding mountains and forests, and invite them to join you! Some small tribes in the mountains are not doing well, and there are fewer men. Just to complement each other with you, the tribe must have men and women in order to continue for a long time."

Chief Splash rambled on and on for a long time, and even worried about the ratio of men to women in the kingdom's stronghold.

Priest Tomat stood there in a daze, all the negotiations he had prepared were aborted, and he couldn't even say a word for a long time. At this moment, he was quietly watching Chief Shuihua's face, with thousands of complicated emotions surging violently in his heart.

He has sailed thousands of miles, experienced hundreds of battles, met so many plateaus and Mayan city-states and tribes, and talked and laughed with so many great chiefs! What kind of knife light and ax shadow, he has not seen? But at this moment, in front of an ordinary Taino chief, he was at a loss.

After a long while, Priest Tomat's heart felt unprecedented peace, trust that rarely appeared, and a low sigh.

"The Lord God's witness! Simple Taino people, I will convert all of you and become the people under the Lord God! Because, without the Lord God's blessing, you would definitely not be able to survive the white-skinned evil invasion. .”

"Ah? Priest Tomat, what are you chanting?"

Chief Splash paused, watching Priest Tomat's prayer curiously. The other party smiled slightly and answered with a smile.

"Chief Splash, I am praying to the Lord God for you! The Lord God replied to me and said that he would bless you. How about you, come and convert to the Lord God?!"

"Well"

Embarrassment appeared on Chief Splash's face again. Priest Tomat groaned with a smile and reached out to pat the chief on the shoulder. Then, he straightened his body and asked in a deep voice.

"Respected Chief Splash, the kingdom plans to settle by the Gulf River and reclaim that piece of land. But, after all, that is where the Mayali Department used to be. You really don't need any compensation?"

"compensate?"

Chief Splash scratched his head and thought carefully for a while. After a while, he saw the toba ~lightnovelpub.net~ hanging in the wooden house and replied.

"There are many birds and animals in that land. The hunters of the tribe often go there to hunt. If you settle there, the hunters will have to change places."

"Well, Priest Tomat, if you really want compensation, give the hunters some gifts!"

"Okay! What kind of gift do you want? How much?"

Priest Tomat didn't hesitate, and readily agreed, ready to give generously. The status of the hunter in the tribe has always been very high, he will not be stingy. What's more, in his opinion, this is some kind of price in exchange for land, and it is also a need for good relations with the Mayari tribe.

However, for Chief Splash, this is really just a gift for hunters. He pinched his fingers, worked hard to count the number of hunters, and replied tentatively.

"A hunter, give two white gems, and enshrine the Zemi **** card for hunting. Then, send a small bag of gems in the lake!"
