There are still ten of the eighteen chieftains left, and the number is still good, but in fact, the ones who left are relatively strong.

When chatting with these people, Jiang Mu was also familiar with their real situation. Most of the stayed were not far from the gathering place of the Han people. If they chose to resist, they would probably have no way out, so they chose to stay, which could be said to be forced.

Since they had already chosen, there was nothing to say. Jiang Mu commissioned Ronggong Tusi to start organizing a party and discuss it with these people to see how much food they could take out to calm the people.

There are many troops in Sichuan, but most of the land is not under the control of the court. If you want to implement the court's policies, you must implement occupation. However, after the occupation, you must also ensure the food problem of the people. We do not have that much food, so we can only beg for alms with these chieftains.

"Meet Lord Jiang."

Seeing these ten chieftains saluted him, Jiang Mu also felt a little satisfied. After entering Sichuan, in addition to believing in the conquering people, it was the first time that someone had surrendered through negotiations. Of course, Jiang Mu also understood that the reason for such a result was purely because we had made our reputation. If these people didn't know the power of the Ming army, how could they be obedient in front of us with a low eyebrow?

"Dear masters of the sage, please sit down. Today I want to come here. I want to discuss it carefully and see what we should do in the future. After all, you are more familiar with this land. If this land can come to life, it will be very beneficial to you."

After Jiang Mu said this, the following people added another sentence in their hearts, that is, it should be more beneficial to the Ming court. Compared with the Ming court, the benefits we have gained are too few. Whether we surrender to the Ming Dynasty or confront the Ming Dynasty, the rights we have in the end will be reduced a lot.

After Jiang Mu finished speaking, many people present remained silent. This was not a good phenomenon. They had to have a supporting role. Rong Gong Tusi knew what role he was.

"Mr. Jiang is right. We have lived here for generations. When this huge change occurs, we choose to follow the court. We also ask Mr. Jiang to speak freely and plan a future path for us."

Rong Gong chieftain was unwilling to cooperate with the court. After all, he was the local emperor here. Now there is a supreme emperor, and the power in his hand will be gradually reduced to zero. How can he be willing?

But Rong Gong Tusi is a smart person. He is very clear about the current situation. If he can cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, at least for a period of time in the future, he and his subordinates will be ahead of others. But if he chooses to fight, he may not know how to die. The gap between the strength of the two sides is like an elephant and an ant.

The others still didn't say anything, but their eyes were full of doubts. Let's see what Jiang Mu meant. They just knew that the court needed food. As for the next regulations, it was not very clear.

"Don't say that I'm planning some paths for everyone, but it was proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince. How should we go in the future? His Highness the Crown Prince has already thought about it for us and distributed it to all the chieftains."

Jiang Mu said with a smile that this was also the one who took the Prince's Palace down to suppress them. Some things were not decided by themselves, so what was written on this piece of paper was the final agreement. If someone objected, it would be a rebellion against the major policies of the court. He put it on a big hat and the soldiers outside were not vegetarians. When they came to the meeting just now, they had already seen three thousand Ming soldiers gathered outside.

I gave you a chance last night. If you leave, you can leave here at any time. But if you choose to stay here, you must abide by the court's regulations. If you want a fence-bearer, we will never tolerate it.

The first one is about food. Nowadays, all the chieftains are in the Ming Dynasty's official warehouses. Of course, the Ming Dynasty would not directly use these foods, but instead adopt the policy of purchasing or lending.

This was something that all the toast masters did not expect. They originally thought that the Ming Dynasty directly requisitioned their food, but they did not expect that they would give a reasonable price.

Of course, if you don’t want to sell money, you can hand over the current grain to the army. By next year and the year after, the court will give you 12% of the grain, which is equal to 10% of the interest per year.

Some toasts frowned when they saw this. Who dares to say what happened two years later? What if they don’t give it, would they still go to the capital to ask for the account? So it’s better to put the money in order to make a living.

"Mr. Jiang, I have a question..."

A young man stood up and this person was Mengyun Tusi.

"Mengyun chieftain please say..."

Jiang Mu did not know this Meng Yun chieftain. Only after Rong Gong chieftain introduced that he met the first chieftain among these people.

"I want to take out part of the grain and sell it to the court, but I don't know if it's OK if the other part of the grain wants to use this lending policy? Or will all the grain adopt the same policy?"

After Meng Yun finished speaking, the people present also raised their ears, which was related to their actual interests.

"Of course, you have the final say. Food is your own court that respects everyone's private property. Although reforms will be carried out in the southwest region, no matter how reforms are made, as friends of the court, we respect your private property very much. How much grain is used to sell it to the court or lend it to the court. This is your own business, and the two policies can be carried out in parallel."

After Jiang Mu said that, these people smiled on their faces. The lending policy obviously could gain a lot, but they were afraid that no one would give them money in two years, so they felt a little nervous. Now, after listening to Jiang Mu's words, they could completely divide their food in half.

"Mengyun Tusi, what else can I say?"

Jiang Mu did not sit down after seeing this guy get the answer. Looking at the guy's face, he should have something to say.

Mengyun Tusi was in a dilemma for a long time and didn't know how to say this.

"You should be for your brother-in-law, right?"

Jiang Mu couldn't see it, which did not mean that Rong Gong Tusi couldn't see it either.
