Gujiazhai meeting hall.
Li Baili has read the entire agreement.
If the agreement is followed, it is undeniable that the indigenous people will gain great benefits and may be able to escape the fate of hundreds of years.
Except for a very small number of ambitious ambitious people, the other clan leaders and high priests should all agree to this agreement for the sake of the current situation and future of the clan.
But Li Baili understands that some things are not what he wants to do.
He has fallen into the trap and become someone else's chess piece. The only way to get rid of the fate of a chess piece is to die.
However, he could not face death calmly.
"Everyone. You have all finished reading. Let's start voting now."
Gu Fengshang looked around and said.
Voting is secretive. According to the rules, those present take a pen and draw a circle on the vote in front of them to indicate agreement. If they disagree, just mark it. Abstention is equivalent to disagreement, so it is boring, and there is no abstention vote.
In less than one stick of incense, everyone here has filled out the tickets. Then, they put them into a small box, closed the lid, and were collected by a dedicated person into a large box.
The big box is airtight.
Gu Fengshang lifted the big box and shook it vigorously in front of everyone.
Then he reached for a box and started counting votes in front of everyone.
The entire process is clean, transparent, open and fair, and no one has tampered with it for hundreds of years.
Because it doesn't make much sense, the council originally had very loose power. If some indigenous people really refused to implement the agreement passed, there would be nothing the council could do.
It’s just that there are generally no such indigenous peoples.
Refusal to implement will often isolate oneself. Once encountering external pressure and crisis, other indigenous tribes are unwilling to help, and they may not be able to survive the crisis and become extinct.
In the history of the indigenous people, there have been a number of indigenous tribes that were exterminated in this way, and each one of them became a counterexample to later generations.
[In view of the general environment,
Li Baili stared at every ticket, feeling anxious all the time.
It wasn't until the dust finally settled that he breathed a sigh of relief!
"There were three negative votes, but less than one-third of the votes were cast. The objection is invalid and the agreement was officially adopted."
Ancient Fashion announced.
Li Baili felt all kinds of emotions in his heart, but his spirit was a little dazed.
This was a result that was difficult for him to understand.
Apart from him, only two people voted against it?
How can this be justified?
From this point of view, no one from the three major clans, namely the Tao clan, the Teng clan, and the Chang clan, voted against it.
Because any one of the three tribes has more than two votes on hand.
As long as one of the clans exerts their strength, the final result will definitely exceed three votes.
Li Baili discovered that the clown turned out to be himself.
On the surface, he didn't dare to do anything unusual. This was to prevent anyone from discovering that he was one of the three people who voted against the proposal.
At this time, Tao Gaochang of the Tao tribe stood up straight, waved his arms, and said loudly in a rather exaggerated tone: "There are still people who vote against such an agreement. Is this because their conscience has been eaten by a dog? Or is it? Don’t you want us mountain people to live a good life?”
Teng Tiancai, the leader of the Teng tribe, also stood up and responded to Tao Gaochang: "Yes, Brother Tao is right. Who voted against it? Do you dare to stand up? Do you want us all to starve to death? We are already short of The food shortage is like this, and the imperial court doesn’t even want to send food? This is because they are determined to starve us to death."
Not only the chiefs of the Tao and Teng tribes, but also many chiefs present stood up to respond to them, creating a huge scene.
Gu Fengshang picked up the small piece of wood in his hand and patted it on the table a few times.
"Quiet, please don't make any noise."
Everyone gradually became quiet.
Indeed follow the rules
He said that it is not appropriate to make noise here. After all, this is a serious meeting hall.
After everyone's voices gradually disappeared, Gu Fengshang cleared his throat and said: "The rules of our Aboriginal Assembly Hall are that no one will be held accountable after voting. Those tribesmen who voted against also need to abide by the adopted agreement, otherwise , will not be protected by the indigenous people, and no one can rescue them when they are in danger."
What the ancient people said were routine words. In the past, they had to be said again every time after voting.
To this day, no one takes those words seriously.
If you really refuse to implement it, you have to be mentally prepared for the possible genocide.
"The meeting is dismissed now."
Ancient fashion announced.
The specific implementation is a matter for the future, and there will be specialized people to handle it. As the leaders of the clan, they generally will not personally handle such specific matters.
If you have to do everything yourself as a leader, you won't be able to get it done even if you are exhausted.
After the meeting, Gu Feng returned to his main room.
Following him were the Vine Genius from the Vine Clan and Tao Gaochang from the Tao Clan.
Zi Yan had been waiting in the house early.
After the three of them entered, they found their seats and sat down. Tao Gaochang exhaled and said, "It's very strange. Why did the Chang people also vote in favor?"
"Yes, Fourth Master Chang is not an honest person. He holds four votes from the Chang clan. Adding his own, it's five votes." Teng Tiancai was also confused.
Although the two clans are still on good terms with the Chang clan, based on their understanding of Fourth Master Chang, it is basically certain that they will vote against it this time.
The result was beyond their expectations, which was something they couldn't understand.
"If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. If Fourth Master Chang votes in favor, he will definitely have other conspiracy."
Gu Feng also said slowly.
"The people who voted against it should be the Li tribe, the Shrimp tribe and the Wood tribe."
Zi Yan suddenly spoke.
"How did your lord know this?"
Gu Fengshang and the other three people all cast their eyes over.
Gu Fengzhang was the one who counted the votes, and he didn't even see who voted against it.
"The expressions and expressions on their faces betray their innermost feelings. This method is commonly used by our hidden guards. It is normal for you to be unaware without learning it. However, this is only used for preliminary screening and cannot be used as evidence."
Ziyan said calmly.
"No evidence is needed, and we won't go against them openly. But if we have a direction, we can send people to keep an eye on them."
Ancient fashion.
"I have someone in the Plow Clan, and I'll send someone to keep an eye on the Plow Clan."
Tao Gaochang said.
"Then I'll choose the shrimp clan. That clan controls many mountain lakes and raises fish and shrimps. I've long been disgusted with them."
Teng Tiancai touched the beard on his chin and said.
"You don't like it?"
Gu Fengshang said doubtfully.
"I can't stand it. People from the shrimp tribe raise fish and shrimps. That's their business. However, they always accuse us of destroying the nearby vines, causing a bad environment and making it difficult for their fish and shrimps to grow."
"Look at what they said. The vines are not from their family. Besides, what does the vines have to do with the growth of fish and shrimp?" Teng Tiancai said very dissatisfied.
