94 Distribution of spoils
The most exciting thing for the natives is the discussion of the upcoming hunting land, and how much hunting land their tribe will be allocated and how to choose it.
No wonder they are so nervous, with the popularization of farming technology and the benefits of farming, the indigenous tribes will naturally not let go of the pursuit of land.
More importantly, as the Coalition expanded its land area, many indigenous tribes saw a lack of realignment to put their tribes in a safer position.
For example, some small and medium-sized tribes that are very close to the Black Panther tribe, Yushan and other big tribes have been oppressed by these big tribes in the past few years.
The reason why many small and medium-sized tribes actively participated in the big action proposed by Li Tianyang this time was precisely based on this consideration, hoping to get away from these ambitious large and medium-sized indigenous gangs through the distribution of land opportunities.
In contrast, Bengang has become the first consideration of these small tribes to protect the umbrella, but over the years, Bengang has always maintained the principle of good faith to the outside world, and has never been violent to the outside world without reason, so it has won the hearts of many indigenous tribes.
It's just that because the members of the alliance have been expanding outward over the years, even if the more peripheral alliance members want to take refuge under Bengang, then they have to consider the opinions of other powerful indigenous tribes around them.
Now, with the expansion of the alliance's territory, Bengang will definitely expand outward, and the same tribes will also have the opportunity to move their clan cottages to the vicinity of Bengang as companions and obtain the protection of Bengang people.
However, at the spoils meeting, the first thing to be distributed was the nearly 53,000 indigenous captives that had been counted, and according to the distribution plan agreed upon by everyone before, combined with the number of warriors sacrificed by various clan members in these days, these more than 50,000 indigenous captives were quickly distributed.
Although Bengang only sent 1,000 troops this time, their tribe provided two months of food and materials for more than 20,000 troops, otherwise with the inventory of alliance members, no one would be able to take out such a large sum of grain.
Then they agreed in advance that they would exchange four-fifths of the hunting ground land for the population, and in the end, they would be able to share nearly 20% of the population of this group of captives, that is, about 10,000 indigenous captives!
Don't underestimate the more than 10,000 indigenous captives, although less than one-fifth of them are in the prime of life, but there are not a few adult women and indigenous children who are about to reach adulthood.
The collection of the Jilongshan Mine has always relied on the indigenous people who were cleared near the Jilong Harbor to mine, and the scale of several hundred people has made the gold collection of the Jilongshan Mine have been maintained at less than 1,000 taels a month, and it is also thanks to the credit of the water conservancy dam, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such efficiency.
What's even more ironic is that Li Tianyang kept the exploration team looking for iron ore veins in the jungle, but the iron ore veins were not discovered, but they successively discovered another gold ore vein and copper ore vein, but because of the shortage of manpower, Li Tianyang and they have not been able to develop it.
With the addition of more than 10,000 captives, Li Tianyang and them can also develop the Jilongshan Mine and the other two mines.
Bengang took 10,000 men, Lake. Patton's heart was naturally more scruples, Lake. Although Patton was intelligent and far-sighted, he did not expect that this operation would have so many prisoner benefits. They all thought that the jungle was primitive and vicious, but who would have thought that there were many tribes from the inside, let alone that the territory they cleared out at once with this action was huge even they couldn't imagine.
Thanks to the professionals scattered among the four teams, everyone can see a map with clear signs and graphics at the current spoils distribution meeting, otherwise they don't even know what their own clan chief is like because they lack geographical knowledge.
Bengang is open to the outside world, but not all skills are open to the natives, such as the development of arquebuses and the way maps are drawn.
As long as you are a member of the Bengang Alliance, you have actually come into contact with the map, and every time the coalition forces clear out the hidden dangers among the tribes, the commander of the coalition forces, Lahouk, did not take out a map with detailed identification of the location of each tribe and share it with the leaders of the coalition forces, telling them the various terrain displayed on the map.
However, the patriarchs of the various tribes, many of them may have really seen the true face of the Dayuan map for the first time, and it was also the first time to see the size of their own tribe's land area, and they all sighed and looked at the huge land without an owner.
"I want to ask, can we give up the previous tribal hunting grounds and choose the land again?" Before the new land could be devolved, some clan chiefs stood up in advance and asked.
"If this question is asked, then everyone needs to vote to see if everyone agrees?" Li Tianyang looked up at the patriarch who asked the question, and then looked at many other patriarchs who looked at him with a long time, and replied with Tai Chi.
The vote was passed quickly, not only among the small tribes, but also among many medium-sized tribes.
Of course, giving up the land that has been developed is indeed not a small impact on the tribes, but in contrast, there are several opponents around who are like wolves and tigers watching the development of their own tribes, and everyone is willing to sacrifice their current interests and form alliances with other tribes with good relations to fight against big clans such as Lake and Black Panther.
The popularization of farming technology has allowed every family of all tribes to have some surplus grain in recent years, and with the hunting grounds in Shanghai that have not been abandoned, it is not a problem to feed the people of the tribe at all.
Not to mention, even if the tribe is short of food, they can go to the rich Bengang to buy food, or ask for the support of the Bengang people, and everyone doesn't have to worry about the trouble caused by the new relocation of the cottage in the early stage.
"Very good, let's count first, which tribes want to give up the current hunting grounds? At the same time, you will tell the conditions of the land hunting ground you need to replace, and we will make notes in advance to try to meet the needs of the thousands! "Because of the sudden demands of these tribes, Li Tianyang and their work intensity has increased a lot at once, and it seems that there is no way to distribute the land today!
