After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 125 put forward conditions
After thinking about it for a while, Meng Di had a plan, so he spoke.

"Actually, this time I came here, I took a fancy to the land here, and I want to use it to grow food. If Chief Meng agrees, I can help you grow your tribe. In this way, when you fight other tribes in the future, you will definitely get victory."

After hearing this, Meng's face was obviously moved, but he still looked at High Priest Bo.

Bo looked at the jumping flames, and after a moment of ecstasy, he raised his head.

"The ultimate fate of a small tribe like ours is to be swallowed up by others. Although what you said is correct, I am afraid that our tribe will not have that opportunity at all. As long as we become a little rich, some tribes will come to our door."

"The leader of the tribe next door, Hu, has tens of thousands of soldiers and his own city. It is simply not something we can resist, so even if we want to cooperate with you, we have no chance of winning. "

Meng Di didn't care about this worry, he knew very well in his heart that if he cooperated with a strong person, the price he would pay would be much higher, but if he cooperated with a weak person, not only would it be convenient to control, but the price he would pay would be extremely small .

And he had a good impression of this, so he made a decision right away.

"You are only worried about the tiger tribe. If I say that I can help you solve the tiger tribe, would you be willing to cooperate with me? Of course, there is a price. If you think about it clearly, give me an answer."

These words were mainly for the High Priest Bo. This old man was obviously a wise man. Only after persuading him, there should be no big problem on Meng’s side, so Meng Di stared closely at the other party’s face.

Bo didn't show much expression. He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. He knew in his heart what Mengdi meant, so what he was thinking about was if they really took refuge in Mengdi.

How to face Ran Yi's anger in the future?The most important thing is that it is not clear about the identity of Mengdi and the others. Although what he said is helpful to the current situation, what about the future?

Seeing that Bo didn't speak, he didn't open his mouth, but picked up the wine bowl to signal Meng Di to drink.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Bo finally responded, looked at Mengdi and asked.

"I would like to know your identity very much. If we can tell the truth, then we can consider cooperating with you."

"Since cooperation is so natural, it is natural to be honest. We are actually from Wang Zichao and were forced to go into exile here. If you are willing to cooperate with us, then I can have someone take you to see Wang Zichao, but I cannot disclose my identity for the time being."

Hearing Mengdi's words, Bo frowned deeply. Although Huaiyi is still in the tribal stage, their news is not far behind, especially the Meng tribe is very close to the state of Lu, so they are naturally very clear about the situation in the Central Plains .

Wang Zichao is the most beloved concubine of King Jing of Zhou. Because he is not a direct descendant, the state of Jin objected for this reason and attacked Wang Zichao.

The state of Jin then proclaimed the emperor Prince Yi as King Zhou Jing. tracked.

Bo didn't expect that these people in front of him turned out to be from Wang Zichao, which made him feel a little hesitant. After all, the Zhou royal family already had an emperor, and they were backed by the state of Jin. Good choice.

Meng Di naturally saw that Bo was worried about something, so he smiled slightly.

"You can think about this matter, and I am not asking you to openly join the Prince Dynasty now, but to support you in private, and then build a city here, teach you farming and fishing, and train soldiers."

"In this way, you don't have to worry about Ran Yi's revenge in a short period of time, and you can become a big tribe in one fell swoop."

These words did not make Bo give up his doubts, and after thinking for a while, he asked.

"If you really build cities here, will these cities belong to us or you in the end?"

Hearing what he said, Meng Di put away his smile, put down the wine bowl in his hand, and his face became serious.

"If you are under my control, then these cities can belong to you. If not, then we are a cooperative relationship. You can go to the cities to exchange the items you need, but you cannot settle in them."

Such a suggestion is also a very big temptation for Bo. If he agrees, at least the future of his tribe will get better and better, but the condition is to become this person's vassal.

However, he didn't think about it for too long, because with the current strength of their tribe, even self-protection seems a little difficult. In the face of such an opportunity, the choice is actually not big. will be defeated.

So when Bo saw Meng's face, there was already some excitement, and he agreed immediately, but he also put forward conditions.

"If you can really defeat the tiger's tribe, then our whole tribe will join you and become your people."

Meng Di was overjoyed when he heard that, picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile.

"Since this is the case, tomorrow I will lead people to attack Tiger's tribe, but then you can declare to the outside world that you have taken in a Central Plains nobleman, and that's why you got help. This will also prevent you from suffering unreasonable disasters in the future."

After hearing this suddenly, his face showed excitement, and he said loudly while holding a wine bowl.

"If this is the case, we can take revenge on the tiger's tribe and snatch all their women and children. If this is the case, we will become the largest tribe in this area in a short time!"

But Bo's eyes were staring at the guard behind Meng Di, with the sword on his body, his eyes shone with light, and he asked.

"Your Honor, the sword worn by this guard is not made of bronze, is it?"

Hearing this, Meng Di's heart skipped a beat and he nodded.

"It is indeed not bronze but evil gold, because it is very troublesome to smelt and does not yield much. How did the high priest see it?"

The so-called evil gold is the common name for iron in this era. Meng Di was just a little surprised by his knowledge. You must know that there are not many iron wares in this year. After the Warring States Period, because of the reforms of various countries and the development of smelting technology, there were more and more iron wares. Take the lead.

But the tribe in front of him is obviously relatively backward, even the bronze smelting technology is not as good as that of the Central Plains, how did he know?
