Yang Yi was silent, thinking about the pros and cons of this.
If it is just to give some supplies, the Starfire Tribe can still afford it, and it is also a good thing for them.
As the Xinghuo tribe develops better, especially with the advent of wine, the West Continent is even more eyeing on them.
As long as they are a little slack here, they will definitely bite them hard with their mouths wide open.
If the interior of the Western Continent can be a little more chaotic, the Starfire Tribe will be less concerned.
Even if this effect cannot be achieved, funding Murray means that Murray can reach out to the Western Continent through Murray, making it easier to guard against Western Continent's behind-the-scenes actions.
However, this is also risky. After all, the Xinghuo Tribe and the Western Continent are currently in a cooperative relationship on the surface, and they are relatively harmonious on the surface. If the other party knows that they already want to get involved in the Western Continent.
Then even if you put many things on the bright side, you will be more wary of Xinghuo Continent.
In the past, they just wanted to plunder wealth, but now they still worry about security issues, which will make the relationship between each other even more tense.
Yang Yi still hopes that the Xinghuo tribe will have a healthy and stable environment. After all, although they have a large population and have built a new city, they still cannot change the fact that they are a new tribe and everything is still under construction.
Turmoil is extremely detrimental to development, it can drain the fruits of labor and hinder progress.
Yang Yi doesn't think they can relax now, and their current ability to fight risks is still far from enough.
"What do you think?" Yang Yi asked Hei Lie the question, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Help can help, it depends on how to help."
Yang Yi nodded: "He is not full-fledged now, and it is not good to have a relationship with us."
Murray is only a budding figure now, and his position is not stable, especially since everything about him is based on lies, he is in a very dangerous situation.
If people suspect that they have an unspeakable relationship with the Xinghuo tribe, it will be more likely to cause trouble to the upper body.
"He is also very aware of this, and has already figured out how to deal with it." Black Hunter couldn't help laughing as he said.
"how?"
"He brought a lot of things, and it was very heavy. Do you know what it is?"
Yang Yi shook his head: "It can't be a stone, can it?"
"As expected of an envoy of God, you can guess right!" Hei Lie was so surprised that he raised his thumbs up towards Yang Yi.
The corner of Yang Yi's mouth twitched: "No, I'm just talking nonsense."
"In order to let other people think that he is a normal transaction, he also brought a lot of 'goods' for exchange, which are actually a pile of stones. Those stones were transported from thousands of miles. If you count the transportation cost, they are also very valuable. .”
Yang Yi couldn't laugh or cry: "This guy is not old, but he has a big heart!"
"In addition to these, he also hopes to ask us for some people."
"An important person? What do you mean?"
"He feels that his knowledge is not enough, and he needs wise people to guide him. I hope we can send a wise man to teach by his side. And we want to leave some people to study here, so that they can be his help in the future."
Yang Yi raised his eyebrows: "This guy doesn't know many big characters, but he understands the importance of learning."
"Not only to understand the benefits of learning, but also to express sincerity to us."
Yang Yi tasted this sentence, and soon understood the deep meaning.
Murray wanted someone from the Starfire Tribe, which also meant being monitored by the Starfire Tribe.
Moreover, he also handed over the power of training the backbone to the Xinghuo Tribe, which is undoubtedly a great trust and expresses his sincerity.
Although many people know that such exchanges and learning can bring great benefits, they also worry that their own people will be brainwashed and turn against each other while studying.
This is a double-edged sword, not everyone would dare to risk it.
Murray has no scruples. This is also because his foundation is too weak and he has no choice. If he wants to get help from the Starfire Tribe, he always has to show something, but it cannot be denied that this person is indeed very bold.
"I really don't know where he learned these things." Yang Yi sighed, how long has it been.
I still remember the last time this boy asked him with a simple face why there were no slaves in the Xinghuo Tribe. It has only been a while since then, and he has become a thoughtful leader.
"He is very smart, and he grew up quickly after unlocking the lock in his heart." Black Hunter did not hesitate to praise himself, and he admired the strong very much.
"I really want to see how far he can go. Maybe through him, we can build a city in the Western Continent."
Yang Yi widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
Seeing his appearance, Hei Lie suddenly laughed:
"Don't you think it's a good choice to develop the Western Continent? It's a place with great potential."
There are already city-states in the Western Continent, and the population is even more concentrated. The largest city is said to have reached 400,000 to 500,000 people, not counting the surrounding farms.
There are many serfs in the farm, and the population is also quite large.
The exchanges between the city-states are also relatively close. There are roads connecting the cities, making it easier to move around, and the main roads are relatively much safer than walking in the wild in the Eastern Continent.
If you build your own city there, it will be more convenient than the East Continent slowly waiting for others to come to your door.
Although Yang Yi is also very interested in the Western Continent, he has never thought about developing there, and always feels that it is still far away from him.
The usual research is just for precaution, I didn't expect the man in front of me to fly so far, and his ambition is much bigger than him.
"You really dare to think about it." Yang Yi was in admiration.
Black Hunter didn't take it seriously: "The Western Continent is not indestructible, and we have more powerful weapons, and our soldiers are also stronger, why can't we think about it?"
"It's..."
Yang Yi felt that he was still too cautious. Look at this native, he was much more fierce than him.
"Western Continent itself has a very big problem. If it was before, I would have been cautious. Now that Murray can get mixed up so quickly, I think there should be a lot of opportunities for us to miss."
Yang Yi nodded: "Let Murray be our sharp knife and insert it into the Western Continent, maybe there will be surprises."
They are from the Eastern Continent, so they cannot directly interfere with the affairs of the Western Continent, otherwise they would be enemies of the entire Western Continent.
Just like before, the Eastern Continent was obviously far behind the Western Continent, and many people were sold there as slaves, but no city in the Western Continent dared to set foot on this land to rule.
At most, the border area is controlled and the news is cut off.
There is a gap between the east and west continents. No matter how fierce the internal disputes are, when facing the other side, they will be twisted into one again.
This is probably also related to the big difference in appearance. I always feel that you are not the same kind of person, and two factions have formed invisibly.
Yang Yi also doesn't like wars and killings, he just adds fuel to the flames and starts construction, which he is willing to accept.
"I already have a preliminary plan, let's see how it feels."
Hei Lie told Yang Yi his rough plan, and Yang Yi listened quietly without taking his eyes off Hei Lie.
"What's the matter?" Hei Lie felt Yang Yi's gaze, hugged him with a smile, and kissed his cheek.
Yang Yi shook his head: "This feeling is wonderful."
He can deeply feel that Black Hunter cares about him, but this man has been helping him to complete the task he left.
If it were him, it would be absolutely impossible to do this.
But this man did this, and he did his best without any reluctance.
Hei Lie suddenly understood, and shook his head helplessly: "I'm starting to think wildly again."
"Aren't you worried that the result is not the one you expected?"
Black Hunter clenched his fist, then let it go.
"I'm worried, but I think I have to do it. Don't ask me why and don't go into it. Now that I have decided, I will do my best."
"Black Hunt..."
Black Hunter smiled at him: "We are lucky enough, we have to give something, otherwise such luck may be taken away immediately."
The two were silent for a moment, and finally chose to skip this topic and continue walking forward.
Only by walking forward can they understand what awaits them in the future.
The matter of funding Murray was not publicized. Now that there are more people in the tribe, even if there is no gap, it is inevitable that there will be lax mouths.
Except for a few core figures, no one else knew about it.
It's just that such a large amount of supplies needs to be exchanged, how to fill this pit is worrying the head of the finance department, and the abacus is crackling every day, worrying so much that he loses a lot of hair.
Murray didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and Yang Yi and Black Hunter were very generous, so much material was enough for him to arm his team and seek more benefits.
"Envoy, Chief, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!"
Murray knelt down in front of Yang Yi and Hei Lie excitedly. No one could hide his excitement when he exchanged a pile of picked stones for so many supplies.
"I hope you are worthy of our trust, and I hope you can always keep your original intentions and don't become the kind of person you hate the most."
Yang Yi spoke slowly, with a very serious and serious attitude, and hit Murray's heart word by word.
There are too many people who really wanted a kind of fairness and justice at the beginning, but when they fell into power, they quickly forgot their original intentions, and even intensified the abuse of people with the same status as themselves.
It seems that he can get rid of his past in that way, and make people feel that he is born to succeed later.
"Envoy of God, I will always remember your words!"
"The people can carry a boat or capsize it. This is the first sentence I taught you. I hope you will always remember it."
Yang Yi explained the general meaning of this sentence to Murray. He was able to climb to his current position, of course because he pretended to be a nobleman, took advantage of some loopholes, and gradually snowballed bigger and bigger.
But the basis of all this is that the slaves in the same situation as him are willing to contribute to the world he talks about.
Otherwise, he alone would not be able to go so smoothly.
Murray savored these words and engraved them deeply into his heart.
In fact, even in the Western Continent, there are also examples of slave owners being killed by slaves, and some are very violent.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
It's just that many people choose to bear it for the time being, fearing that their actions will harm themselves and the whole family, but when the critical point is reached, they will probably ignore it.
The wise man who wanted to leave with Murray finally decided after careful selection.
This result is unexpected to many people. There are two people who went there, one is bluegrass and the other is Mao.
Lancao was the first child prodigy to be discovered. She is extremely smart and has learned a lot of characters in a very short period of time.
In the beginning, he was Yang Yi's little helper, but as he became more and more powerful, he stopped doing these chores.
She is actually eight years old now, but she still looks very small, only as big as five or six-year-old children here.
And it looks harmless to humans and animals, with big and round eyes, which looks very cute.
No one would have guessed that she is very smart. She participated in the revision of various rules and regulations of the tribe from a very early age, and even helped Jiao perfect her "brainwashing" teaching materials.
Not only that, but also designed a set of training methods and tactics, the effect is very good, even Black Hunter gave her a thumbs up.
If you have any thoughts about training, I often discuss with Lancao.
Use her wealth of knowledge to perfect your own system.
Lancao is usually very busy, working and studying, and doesn't like to meet outsiders.
So no matter whether it is outsiders or people from the tribe, unless they are lucky enough to listen to her class, they have only heard her name and never met her in person.
Lancao's class is not something ordinary people can listen to, and the lectures are relatively deep.
Yang Yi is unwilling to let go of such talents. Her intelligence can help the tribe develop better in management, because her main skills are more humanistic.
Usually, Yang Yi entrusts her with a lot of things to be trained as a management talent.
Now being taken away by Murray, this is a great loss for the tribe!
But this is Lancao's own opinion. In her words, she wants to go around and see what other places are like.
She is especially interested in the Western Continent, and wants to know what the cities there look like.
Everyone in the caravan who came here spoke differently, making it impossible for people to truly understand what the Western Continent was like. Those slaves who came back from the Western Continent lived in a small area and could not fully understand it.
"Envoy, didn't you say that traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books? I also want to go out and have a look. Especially the Western Continent is very different from our Eastern Continent. I want to see what the difference is."
Lancao raised her head and looked at Yang Yi, her bright eyes were full of longing.
The other party said so, and Yang Yi is not the kind of person who will act alone, let alone bluegrass, he would like to have a look at it if he has the opportunity.
"You actually have many other opportunities. That would be safer. If you follow Murray, you may lose your life. In the Western Continent, we are beyond our reach. Even if something happens to you, we can't save you."
Lancao still nodded firmly: "I didn't make the decision impulsively, but after careful consideration, and calculated the risks and benefits. After careful consideration, I can be sure that I want to do this."
Lancao also explained the reason why she is going now: "I am young, so I don't look eye-catching, so it is not easy to be suspected. If I grow up, I will attract attention and cause trouble."
If no one said that Lancao was a genius, she would not show her talent. At this moment, a child holding a rabbit doll really does not seem to have a higher IQ than an adult.
No matter how you look at it, he is a harmless and innocent child, and he is also very petite and weak, as if he could be crushed to death with one finger.
In fact, this is not the case. As a spiritual talent, Lancao is not only smart, but also able to use people's hearts.
Therefore, Yang Yi had no objection.
As for Black Hunter, they didn't make things difficult. Although bluegrass is important, there are more and more talents in the tribe, and they can still find replacements.
It's just that Lancao is just one person, and several replacements may be needed.
However, although Lancao is smart, the force value is still too low. You can fool people who are reasonable, but it is very dangerous to cut people who come up.
Mao took the initiative to ask for Ying at this time, he was going to protect the orchid grass.
Mao has grown a lot taller than before, but he still looks childish. Although he is quite tall, he still looks like a childish little Douding, with a very tender face.
Besides, he is not very old, so he can still deceive people by standing there honestly.
In fact, his force value is very high, far exceeding his peers.
The main thing is that he is a speed talent, and the only martial arts in the world is fast, which gives him a great advantage.
He is still very famous in the tribe, and he often jumps around Yang Yi, so it's hard not to know.
However, the child sees the wind, and usually he often disappears in front of people like a monkey. Unless there are people who pay special attention to him, foreigners are not familiar with it, and most of them have only heard the name.
"I can protect the safety of bluegrass!" Mao stopped his waist, full of confidence.
"Going to the Western Continent is no joke. We can't send people to follow you, otherwise you will be exposed faster. When you get there, you can only rely on yourself. Do you still want to do this?"
Yang Yi's feelings for Mao are very special. Mao is the first person he contacts in this world, and Mao often stays with him.
Mao was like his younger brother, even his child.
Yang Yi couldn't imagine how painful and sad he would be if something happened to him.
"I understand, so I want to go even more." Mao's attitude was firm, completely different from his usual laughing and joking appearance.
In the end, Yang Yi released them. In order to avoid trouble, only the two children, Mao and Lancao, were taken away by Murray, so that it would be easier to explain how they got here.
It is not uncommon for such a young child to be thrown in the wilderness and picked up by passers-by.
Mao and bluegrass grow very well and are very lovable, so it is only natural that they were taken back.
"I feel like I'm starting to regret it. This business is a loss."
Yang Yi was very depressed, feeling that they trusted Murray too much.
"Why don't we regret it before they leave."
Hei Lie smiled and poured him a cup of tea: "Think about whether you want to do this, no matter what you decide, I will support you."
Yang Yi suddenly wilted, and drank the tea Hei Lie handed him in one gulp.
"Forget it, forget it, we can afford it. As for Mao and Lancao, they are voluntary, and I can't force it."
"Mao is a smart ghost. If there is a problem, he will run back immediately with bluegrass."
"I hope it goes well." Yang Yi let out a breath and decided to divert his attention.
"What about the people Murray left behind? I haven't asked them yet."
"They are all very smart kids, and Murray put his heart into it."
The children left by Murray are not very old, and the feedback from the school is very good, and they belong to the top kind of people.
Moreover, they are very hardworking, obedient and obedient, and get along well with everyone.
"That's about the same."
If a few people were randomly forced in, Yang Yi would regret it immediately.
"The pile of stones they brought is still in the warehouse?"
"Well, I plan to use it to build a wall tomorrow. I have already arranged it. Only a few people who can trust the strict mouth will know the truth."
"I hope the stones brought by Murray are stronger, and don't bring a pile of stones all the way, and they will be useless in the end." Yang Yi muttered.
Hei Lie knew that he just felt sorry for Mao and Lancao, but he didn't take it to heart.
They don't use stones to make stone tools now, no matter what kind of stone they are, they can have their uses.
Unexpectedly, on the day when the stones were taken away, Sakura, who was in charge of the matter, suddenly opened her eyes wide after pouring out the stones.
"An envoy, an envoy!"
Ying rushed into Yang Yi's study, forgetting to even knock on the door.
Hei Lie's face turned black immediately: "Why are you in such a panic! Did you come in!"
This is the third floor, next to the bedroom, which is a private place, so Hei Lie and Yang Yi are very relaxed inside.
Occasionally, there will be some intimate actions. As Yang Yi's secretary, Ying knows the rules best, but he is still so reckless, which makes Hei Lie, who has always had various small thoughts, very angry.
Yang Yi is different from others, he is not as open about certain things as others.
Sakura quickly apologized, quickly closed the door and knocked again.
"Come in." Yang Yi didn't react too much, but it is still necessary to abide by his rules.
Sakura came in quickly, and put the things in her hand on the table without showing off.
"An envoy! Look!"
At this time, Hei Lie was also attracted. Yang Yi was so surprised that he picked up the crystal and looked at it carefully.
"This...is this trona?"
Hei Lie also came over to take a closer look: "That's right, it's trona, where did you find it?"
"It's the stones that Murray sent. I saw them all, exactly the same!"
Trona is one of the important materials for making glass, and it can be fired together with quartz sand to make glass.
Yang Yi has wanted to make glass since a long time ago, but he has never been able to find trona, and he has always been very concerned about Han Bing's wandering outside.
I don't know why, but I just can't find it.
The geographical environment here is very different from the earth, so there is no way to find it based on the experience of the earth, everything can only be done by fate.
I didn't expect that it would be so effortless to find nowhere to go after breaking through the iron shoes!
Murray actually sent so many! This is too coincidental!
"This natural crystal is very different from ordinary stones. It looks much more beautiful. Why didn't Murray say anything?"
Stones are also very different from stones, and they also have different values. Murray's performance completely treats them as a pile of waste stones.
When he was seeking funding, he was very ashamed and had no confidence.
So Yang Yi and Hei Lie believed from the very beginning that those stones were randomly picked up on the road, but they didn't expect that there was something else.
Black Hunter directly ordered Murray to be called over to inquire about the situation.
Murray was confused when he was brought over. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the trona on the table.
"Envoy, chief, what do you want from me?"
"I wonder where you found this stone? Why didn't you tell us it's special?"
Murray scratched his head in embarrassment: "No matter how special it is, it's not as special as the things you gave me. In fact, we didn't transport these stones at the beginning. Later, I saw them halfway and thought they were pretty. I threw a lot of stones because of encountering wild animals. , I replaced them, and thought they looked a little special anyway.”
