Trade's words made Han Cheng appreciate him more, but also made Han Cheng fall into thought.

Exchanging things like salt and pottery for population, Han Cheng really didn't think about this aspect before.

In fact, it can't be said that he didn't think about it, but whenever some such thoughts arise, he will be subconsciously suppressed.

As a person from the afterlife, when facing this kind of thing, he is always full of a sense of guilt, so he unconsciously avoids this method of increasing the population.

Especially after recalling what I had learned about the evil triangular trade, I was even more reluctant to think about it.

Because the triangular trade has unleashed all the evil in human nature, making people no longer human, but a devil who only comes out of hell.

Han Cheng always believes that people live in the world, and they must have some good thoughts in their hearts, and they must also have some awe, because lawless people have basically escaped from the category of humans, and they are not much different from beasts, or even inferior to beasts.

Because of these cognitions, after his arrival, when he led the Qingque tribe step by step, he did not reach the level of omnipotent.

In some things, he would rather be slow than touch some bottom line in his heart.

At present, it seems that under his concept, the development of the Qingque tribe is still good.

Although it seems to be slow and leisurely at times, or it is a long detour, the tribe still grows and leads the army step by step.

Whether it is the population, food, or weapons, there has been a big improvement.

Moreover, the tribes that have gradually developed do not have too much oppression, nor too much anger, less intrigue, more unity and cooperation, less miasma, and more hard work.

Han Ben's personality tends to be peaceful, so he is very satisfied with the current state of the tribe, and living in such an environment will make people feel comfortable unconsciously.

Compared with the later life, the material and other aspects were naturally 108,000 miles behind, but gradually, Han Cheng felt that living here seemed to be living a faster life than when he was in the later life before.

Well, speaking of which, he has also embarrassed the group of traversers in this regard.

After all, after many people have crossed over, they have all kinds of prosperity in some high-level societies.

And he came to the primitive society where he was really poor and white, and he actually lived a very happy life, and he happily started a primitive life without shame......

With these realizations, Han Cheng was ready to directly reject Mao's proposal, but what Mao said next made Han Cheng change his mind again.

What Mao said is actually nothing remarkable.

Due to the restrictions of the times, although Mao's eloquence is much better than that of ordinary people, it is impossible to be like a professional lobbyist like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, who talks endlessly, agitating his lips and tongue to make people dizzy.

He just said something about the yearning of those outside tribes for the Qingque tribe.

The situation mentioned by Mao is what Han Cheng likes to see, on the one hand, because it proves that the strategy he has adopted in foreign affairs is correct.

On the other hand, because with this situation, the Qingque tribe will have a bright future for a certain period of time in the future, which is foreseeable.

While being happy, I thought about exchanging things like salt for population, and I figured out something different.

Compared to those people whose eyes were blocked by gold coins and silver coins respectively, and who couldn't see anything except these two things, Han Cheng couldn't get that kind of evil even if he asked people to exchange salt for people.

Because the people who are exchanged will not be slaves, but will become citizens of the Qingque tribe.

When they come, they will have warm houses to live in, enough food to eat, and their labor is to make their lives better and those of the tribe.

Here, they wouldn't be squeezed too much, and Han Cheng wouldn't be so cruel as to have people peel off their scalps and use their skulls to make wine glasses or other decorations.

Moreover, this kind of trading is based on a voluntary basis, and there will be no forced buying and selling.

In such a comparison, you will find that the two things that are very similar at first glance are actually fundamentally different.

In this way, even if you exchange some of them, it won't be much of a hindrance.

After all, there are not many tribes that dare to take the initiative to provoke the Qingque tribe now, which makes the Qingque tribe lose a large source of population.

The 'canned food plan' implemented by Han Cheng's trade team is a long-term thing that takes time to ferment, and it is unlikely to produce immediate results in a short period of time.

Therefore, the current Qingque tribe is basically in an embarrassing situation in terms of absorbing foreign population.

Now it seems that this opening can be opened.

There aren't many tribes that choose to exchange their populations for salt, and this doesn't happen very often, but it's good to have an extra person in the tribe from time to time.

After thinking carefully for a while, Han Cheng found Wu to talk about this matter.

Compared with people like Han Cheng who came from later generations, Wu Ke was much cleaner, and after learning about this matter from Han Cheng and confirming that it was of great benefit to the tribe, he immediately expressed his agreement.

He felt that as long as it was good for the tribe and would not bring much harm, it was worth doing.

As for the feelings of guilt that arise from this, they do not appear to him at all.

This can be seen from the fact that he uses his toothless teeth, leisurely gnaws on the rabbit legs that he takes good care of on weekdays, and even sometimes hums some behaviors that he doesn't know what to tune, it can be seen that the precious emotion of guilt should not appear in his heart.

The matter of exchanging salt for population has been decided, and since then, when the Qingque tribe trade team goes out to do business, there is another kind of thing that can be exchanged for salt.

Of course, after making this decision, Han Cheng still carefully told the other members of the trade team some things, telling them to remember that this kind of transaction could only be based on the premise that the other party was voluntary, and the people of the trade team could not use force.

Of course, if any tribe dares to plot against the people of the trade team, then the people of the trade team should not be too polite, and on the premise of ensuring their own safety, they can get back those guys who touch the buttocks of the green finch and turn them into slaves.
