Chapter 396: To Get Rich, Build Roads First
The howling north wind was blowing outside the room, but in the school that was used as a meeting room, it was unusually warm.
In the four corners of the room, there are specially built fireplaces; at this time, there are vigorous woods burning inside, so that people in the room who are holding a woolen coat, as long as they move a little vigorously, there will be pops of fire on their foreheads. A thin layer of sweat.
After all the witches from the member tribes rushed to the Blackstone tribe, Master Niu couldn't wait to gather them together in the preschool classroom, and held a meeting that had been planned for some days...
As for the little boys in the school, Master Niu gave them leave again.
Anyway, as the Blackstone Tribe became lively again in the past few days, their hearts were completely as if they were being scratched by a cat's paw, and they had no intention of learning at all.
Even if the scary Sanya teacher waved the pointer with a grim smile and slapped their palms and little butts vigorously, it didn't have any effect.
Anyway, for them with rough skin and thick flesh, they have long been used to this kind of punishment.
Compared to the adults in the tribal alliance who hated the native chicken tribe, the kids in the preschool had a good impression of it.
Because of the arrival of these people, there has been no extra manpower to build the conference hall proposed by Quinahuo.
It is precisely because of this reason that they were extremely happy to get a two-day vacation; not to mention that more than two months ago, they went out with Teacher Sanya to dig a hole for half a month, and finally gave gifts to The army of the chicken tribe.
It is said that although digging a hole is a little bit hard, they all agree that it is much more interesting than watching any teaching videos in the school.
What they don't know is that the successful construction of the new conference hall has entered the countdown.
Because according to the requirements of all the people involved, they thought that the great tribal alliance and their dedicated conference hall should be the kind of high-end goods that Master Niu lived in.
And to build such a large color steel simple house, after Master Niu returns to the modern plane to buy back the materials, he can build it in a few days...
*****
Seeing that everyone was seated, Mr. Niu said straight to the point: "This time, I have called all the respected wizards here, and I have a few things to discuss with you."
After everyone heard the words, they quickly stopped the greetings among each other and pricked up their ears to listen.
As Master Niu's prestige in the league grew day by day, such strange meetings had become the norm.
That is, Mr. Niu speaks first at the top, and then the people below stand up to oppose if they have opinions, and make up for any shortcomings;
Often the entire meeting does not take long, and it appears to be very efficient.
So, Master Niu, who was sitting in the teacher's seat, looked down and found that these veterans were all drinking sugar water with their heads down, and there was no discomfort in his heart, because he had long been used to this rhythm.
After taking a sip of the syrup with goji berries, he took out his notebook, cleared his throat, and began to speak, in the same posture as the township cadres of the Huaguo government a hundred years ago:
"First, I think the roads within the alliance should also be built, especially the road leading to the Blackstone tribe. It must be repaired according to the same standard as the road leading to the outside of the mountain. The tribes also need to be built. Such a road will be connected to China Unicom.”
Having said this, Master Niu paused for a moment, and then continued to speak: "This time, everyone has come to the Blackstone tribe to pay for food, and everyone has finally realized that the old road before is not so easy, right?"
"Of course, if there's a direct road leading here, we'll have to go up halfway at least soon." After hearing the words, Wu of the Gray Cave Tribe immediately expressed his approval.
Although the other witches didn't say anything, they all nodded in agreement, with indescribable joy on their faces.
In the past, they didn't have such a strong understanding of road construction, but after this battle with the Tuji tribe, they can be regarded as discovering the benefits of road construction.
During that period of time, whether it was mobilizing troops or transporting materials, the efficiency was at least several times improved.
In fact, during those days, they all thought about how wonderful it would be if their tribe had the same road leading to the Blackstone tribe and connected with this road out of the mountain.
It's just that they learned from the side that the Blackstone tribe has spent materials and manpower that they could not imagine in order to build this road.
In this regard, they were decisively persuaded.
They still understand that one-time construction and year-round income, but the problem is that they have to spend it, these materials and manpower are enough.
Now it seems that Master Niu is going to come out and take the lead in building a road that benefits him, so how can he have any objection...
So, seeing that everyone had no objections, Master Niu directly took out a hand-painted map and began to arrange it.
This hand-painted map was forcibly drawn by Master Niu based on the narrations of a group of envoys who had been to various tribes; on the whole, it looks quite abstract.
The only thing worthy of praise is the orientation and sequence of all the tribes, basically there are no major mistakes.
According to Master Niu's arrangement, all the tribes will first build the roads around their own tribes in their spare time, and then help connect these roads after the labor force of the Blackstone tribe is free.
I have to say, considering the huge area of the northwest region, this will be a fairly large project, and it is estimated that it will be completed within three years. It is considered that all member tribes have worked hard to construct it. .
Among them, the materials and manpower paid by the Blackstone tribe for this will be an astronomical figure...
Obviously, as a person who can't afford to ship goods early, Mr. Niu is willing to be so enthusiastic, and there are naturally quite a few private goods mixed in.
First of all, the alliance that includes all the tribes in the Northwest region has long been regarded by Mr. Niu as his absolute meat in the bowl.
However, this guy also knows that it is the most stupid way to annex these tribes directly and brutally, and let them all join the Blackstone tribe.
But who said that a tribe must be forcibly kneaded in order to command their manpower and mobilize their supplies?
As long as they continue to deepen the ties between each other's interests and their sense of identity with the alliance, one day the tribal alliance can develop the embryonic form of a federal empire.
By that time, the existence of these tribes would have been equivalent to the form of a small nation in the country, appearing in the composition of the country.
It may even be natural to merge into a large nation.
And Master Niu's road construction is just to speed up the entire process of integration; with the road, it will be easier to communicate with each other.
In case of foreign enemies or rebellion, the Blackstone tribe, which exists as the big brother of the alliance, can mobilize the army more quickly and deal with the war in the bud.
Of course, such a disharmonious mind was definitely exposed by Mr. Niu. To the witches present, Mr. Niu shouted the slogan: "If you want to get rich, have more children, build roads first!"
