1840Indian rebirth

Slave owners eventually gave up their slaves.

He wanted to join Mian Xiong, naturally because he knew the various deeds of Mian Xiong City, especially the victory over the plague, which made him have a strong yearning for this place.

Before this, no Indian tribe had ever been able to defeat the plague.

Nowadays, as long as you live in Sleeping Bear City, you can resist the most terrible natural disasters in the world. Compared with this benefit, a few slaves are certainly nothing, and there is some compensation.

He sold the slaves to the Arapaho people, who then gave the purchased slaves to Sleeping Bear City in exchange for a reduced sentence for his family.

This can be regarded as a relatively balanced result. Those who are willing to trade slaves for family members to reduce their sentences certainly have some wealth. By letting these people bear part of the compensation, the tribe saves a lot of direct expenses, and the slave owners also receive not too much.

Low compensation.

After completing the basic procedures before entering the city, under the leadership of a few soldiers, the new immigrants entered Sleeping Bear City and arrived at their future residence.

"White man's house?" Some Comanches looked at the building in front of them in surprise.

Standing in front of them was a small building with a masonry structure and two floors.

"This is a masonry house," the soldier said. "The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is promoting this kind of building. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer tents and wooden houses."

Someone asked: "Two families are going to live here?"

Soldier: "Yes, there are two floors, one on each floor."

"This... is not good. As far as I know, no clan seems to do this."

"No clan can resist the plague."

"This is the arrangement of the chief." The soldier added, "The chief said that in the future our houses will become taller and stronger, and everyone must adapt to living in the buildings."

People started talking about everything: "I heard that Chief Mashao is as tall as a giant. Is this true?"

"You will be able to meet the big chief soon, and you will meet him alone. Each new immigrant can talk to the big chief for at least one minute," the soldier said.

Ma Shao has always done this. He will talk to each new immigrant for at least one minute.

Everyone in Sleeping Bear City has talked to him face to face, and they all know his voice, appearance and demeanor clearly.

In fact, he feels that this habit can be sustained to the end.

After all, there are only three to four hundred thousand Indians in the United States, and one minute per person is only thousands of hours.

Spread over ten years to do it, two hours a day, it is not a heavy burden.

At least to today's horse whistles, this is really nothing.

His near-perfect physical fitness has endowed him with abundant energy that is far beyond ordinary people. In addition, he also has an increasingly enhanced concentration, which allows him to stay focused for a long time and rarely loses focus at work... This may also be because he has no

Cell phones and the Internet.

His mobility has become so powerful that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Anyway, he can be sure that if he encountered such a person in his previous life, he would probably even kneel down.

For today's mashao, 996 is almost a health promotion.

A mere two hours of conversation was simply an indulgence.

Of course, although there is no difficulty, there are a lot of troubles.

Most of the new immigrants have not received any decent education, and there are many foreigners, so there will naturally be barriers to communication.

Not only in language communication, this gap also brings many obstacles in various matters.

With the influx of a large number of new immigrants, Ma Shao and Yu Tian had to discuss this issue.

"...I think we might be able to do some preliminary assimilation of them before they come to Sleeping Bear City," Yutian said.

"How to do it?" Ma Shao asked.

Rainy Day: "Take the initiative to send our shamans out and let them bring gifts and knowledge to preach to various ethnic groups."

"In this way, when we absorb other tribes, some of them have already accepted many of our ideas in advance, and it will naturally be much easier to assimilate."

Ma Shao nodded quickly: "You're right, we should do this, but we don't have enough shamans..."

Shamanism in the old days was both a political identity and a profession that could be used to make a living.

However, the shamans of Lingyun Cult have almost no professional attributes, but only a political identity, or political appearance.

People with the status of spiritual shamans are mostly practitioners in education, medical care, management, military officers, etc. They are still quite rare and important.

You can export some to the outside world, but you must not export too much, otherwise your own tribe will be too busy.

Rainy day said: "Sooner or later we will absorb the indigenous people from all over North America. It doesn't hurt to send out more."

Ma Shao shook his head: "Shamans cannot continue to study after they are sent out. Our shamans are excellent, but they still need to learn a lot, and they can only continue to learn if they stay in the tribe."

I thought for a moment on the rainy day: "Maybe we can rotate?"

"Yeah, but after all we can't send too many." Ma Shao thought, "Let's equip each shaman with two soldiers. The two soldiers will serve as the shaman's students, assistants and guards, and the three of them will form a spirit.

The teaching group is responsible for the task of 'pre-assimilation' of all ethnic groups."

Rainy Day nodded: "How many such teaching groups do you plan to send?"

"How about fifteen?" Ma Shao thought for a moment.

"It's too few." Yutian said, "How about thirty? Thirty shamans, even if they are accompanying the soldiers, they are only ninety people."

"That's okay." Ma Shao said, "We will mainly send the Navajo, Kiowa and other Apaches from other tribes first... Take your time, our reputation is not high enough, and various tribes may not be willing to accept our dispatch.

teaching group.”

Then he remembered something: "This 'teaching group' setting is worth promoting. In the future, as long as there are more than three followers of the Lingyu Sect, they should set up a group to help each other, learn, and promote the doctrine."

Rainy Day: "Would it be inappropriate to let believers establish themselves?"

Ma Shao: "Believers can establish themselves, but those that can be established on their own can only be temporary organizations. Formal religious organizations require approval, and we have the right to change or cancel any religious organization."

"We must have a complete grasp of spiritualism, at least to the same extent as the Catholic Pope."

Rainy Day nodded: "I will add the content about the religious group to the "Spiritual Instructions"."

The two talked for a while until a soldier brought the latest newspaper.

In this era of backward communication methods, newspapers are almost the only way for them to obtain a large amount of information about the outside world, especially information about white people.

The two of them looked through the newspapers, hoping to find some valuable information.

Soon one of the news caught the attention of the horse whistle: "California...Republic."
