System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

When the leader learned of this, he traveled across the mountains and ridges overnight to find ten tribes to discuss in detail.

Within five days, the leaders of these eleven tribes came to the city.

When they entered the city, they were surprised to find that the city was much lively and full of tribal leaders they had seen or heard of before.

"Fortunately, we agreed! I knew that no one would want to confront Marquis Ding'an!"

"That's right! I heard that the monarchs of Qi were all afraid of Marquis Ding'an, but she persuaded him with just a few words."

"Hey, I don't care about that. Just let me live as well as those guys in the north."

"Look, that's the Qin Army?"

When the leader heard the words, he turned his head and saw that those people were lean and dark, and did not wear iron armor or military crowns. Everyone had their upper body wrapped in a black cloth and their lower body wore a pair of shorts. They were walking barefoot, and their feet were as black and as hard as iron.

Each one of them looked very untouchable.

"Stop looking!" The leader asked to see many fish without raising his head.

There were so many people asking to meet them that many fish simply held a chat party, meaning they could talk freely.

It's midsummer, and the world is like a big steamer, making people irritated by the heat.

Many Fish chose the location of the talk meeting in a mountain forest outside the city. It is lined with green trees and has a gentle breeze. It is a rare holy place to cool off from the summer heat.

Because they want to speak freely, many fishes specifically ask that the environment should be simple and comfortable, not rigid and dignified.

So in just a few days, a large thatched pavilion appeared in the mountains and forests, with a few reed mats spread out and a few large smooth stones around it. People could sit on it or lie on it.

Two long tables were filled with wild fruits and candies.

Many fish didn't ask anyone to prepare good wine. Baiyue people like wine. They often get drunk and easily make mistakes.

Qin soldiers burned a pile of mugwort to drive away mosquitoes and flies.

Amid the strong aroma of mugwort, the chat session began.

Many fish did not ask whether they wanted war or peace, because since they came to the meeting, it meant they wanted peace and were here to negotiate terms.

Duoyu said: "Today, there is no Ding'an Marquis here, and there are no tribal leaders. We just treat it as a gathering of friends, and everyone can talk freely."

Baiyue people are straightforward, and many fish started chirping after hearing this.

"How do you people of Qin plan to govern Baiyue? Like the Chu State Covenant?"

"Alas, you Central Plains people always want us to surrender, but our customs are hugely different, and we can't play with the Central Plains people."

"Do you Central Plains people look down on us? Do you think we are a barbarian land?"

"I promised in advance that I won't go anywhere. My father, my father's father, has lived here for generations. Don't talk to me about moving to the Central Plains, I won't go. No matter how good the Central Plains is, I won't go!"

Seeing the anger among the crowd, many fish hurriedly comforted them: "Why do you think we are biased against you? If it wasn't a fertile soil, how could you have been born and raised?"

Many Fish picked up a coconut from the table, split it with a knife, and poured the white juice into the bowl: "The land of Lingnan is vast and rich in products. Just like this coconut, the juice can quench thirst, the pulp can fill the stomach, and there are countless Endless fish, shrimp and seafood..."

Many fish drank the coconut juice in one gulp and said happily: "I also want the king to have a taste of such a good thing."

"Hey, what does this little coconut mean? If Marquis Ding'an likes it, I will give you one boat, no, two boats!" When you return, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed.

"You stingy guy, is a little coconut worth it? Marquis Ding'an, when it comes to naval battles, we are no match for you. Compared to fishing, your navy can't compare to us! I'll send you a ship of sea goods. , keep them all delicious!”

"My family is not as good as yours, but the fruit from my wild banana trees is sweeter than anywhere else. I will also give you a boat."

For a time, everyone was communicating in a lively manner.

Half an hour later, the leaders all calmed down. They had just taken the lead in expressing their goodwill, and now it was time to see what price the fish could offer.

"Chiefs, please be frank. I don't want you to beat around the bush. Great Qin will never govern Bainanhai like the Chu State."

Many fish slowly said: "You have an alliance with the Chu State for a hundred years. Apart from paying tribute, what benefits have you received? Look at the changes in the past hundred years. Various tribes in the South China Sea have stood up, fighting with each other, and development has stagnated. In this way, even if there is no If Da Qin encounters another big country in the future and wants to attack you, won’t he still attack you in the same way?”

The leaders all knew this truth, so they did not refute and listened quietly to what the many fish said.

In the past hundred years, the people of the South China Sea have fallen into two categories: one is the Yue people who went south, known as Baiyue; the other is the original tribes of the South China Sea, who have no fixed names.

The two are fighting endlessly and are incompatible with each other.

After many fish pondered for a long time, they slowly said: "First, Da Qin will establish counties here, but I will advise the king to establish a basic line of local officials. Based on the current situation of the ministries, which is relatively complicated, in the early stage, each Each tribe can recommend one person."

"These people enter the academy and learn how to be officials. Then they are assigned official positions based on their assessment results."

This is the best way many fish think of. There are big tribes and small tribes. In order to obtain quotas, there will definitely be big tribes that take the initiative to split up.

It is easy to break up a tribe, but it is difficult to integrate it again.

Even if they form a tribal alliance, Da Qin is very familiar with instigating alliances.

"Second, as I said, we should be a family, but the mountains and rivers have blocked our communication. Since you are unwilling to leave your hometown, let us take this step. I will propose to the king to move the population of the Central Plains into the South China Sea .”

Seeing that some leaders were hesitant to speak, many fish smiled and dismissed their concerns: "Don't worry, this part is going south in the name of garrison. We will provide food and salary and will not take away your livelihood."

"Haha, Marquis Ding'an still understands us!"

"I believe that Marquis Ding'an is right!"

There were also leaders who hesitated. Many fish glanced around and you knew what they were thinking: "Don't worry, we will relax the conditions for women and try to let the sergeants be in pairs. When they give birth to children, maybe you will have children in the future." Can become in-laws.”

As soon as these words came out, the leaders were instantly happy knowing that the Qin people would not compete with them for their wives.

"Oh, then my future grandson will be able to speak both the Qin language and the local dialect?" Someone thought very far.

His friend joked: "Not only that, your grandson is definitely smarter than you, after all, he is half of the Qin people's blood!"

"I don't care whose blood is shed, as long as it's my grandson!"

"You stinky dried fish, your eldest son is still having a runny nose, so you are thinking about your grandson!"

Many Fish watched them laughing and smiling. Now that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily, Many Fish asked the Qin soldiers to bring a jar of wine: "Today, we will not return until we are drunk!"

"Okay!" (End of this chapter)
