Chapter 44 There is no best way to hand over people

Ethnicity is a very xenophobic thing, not only for humans, but also for animals.

But if they live together from an early age and establish a domesticated relationship, then it is a way of absorption, and it is also a way for organisms to contain the fastest group.

The main reason for the decline of the lonely bamboo country in recent years is that it excludes the absorption of foreign races, and does not establish a relationship of enslavement and domestication of foreign races, and the death of a large number of young and strong people has caused an imbalance in the ratio of men and women, and the low productivity has directly led to the reduction of the birth rate and the increase of the premature death rate.

The people of the Lonely Bamboo Country, who originally thought that they were ready to accept aliens to join, still fell into a short period of panic and entanglement after they really discovered the existence of the 'wild man', even with the guidance of the emperor, they were still a little afraid.

Because these 'savages' who may be about to be absorbed are different from Wang Li, Wang Li is their alliance companions, but these people may become clansmen in the future, then there will be a lot of disagreements and accidents.

"Everything must have an adaptation period, and it is inevitable to expand the ethnic group, but let the clansmen rest assured that even the clansmen are divided into inner and outer clans, and the Guzhu Kingdom still retains its independence as a subject country of Yin Shang." Wang Xu smiled after listening to Mo Lian's feedback.

"I think the monarch is a little too worried." Mo Lian also nodded and said.

"It's normal, after all, there are too few people in the country of Lone Bamboo." Wang Xu smiled, "But let him rest assured, the Lonely Bamboo Kingdom will always be the first hero." ”

Mo Lian nodded, and asked a little stiffly, "If Da Liangzao really finds the Savage Tribe, what will happen then?" ”

"It depends on the situation, if there are too many men, you must kill some of them." Wang Xu pursed his lips and said.

"Leaving women and children?" Mo Lian raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Well, women and children are easier to assimilate, as long as they are provided with food and clothing, while men are full of muscles." Wang Xu smiled.

"In fact, you can drive men into slaves, and after a few years, you will become honest." Mo Lian said in a respectful voice.

"Yin Shang's old strategy, Yin Shang can be regarded as dying on this." Wang Xu smiled, "Remember, when you have fellowship with people, those who enslave people are the next policy, and those who control people are the middle policy." ”

"What's the best policy?" Mo Lian asked.

"Actually, there is no best solution." Wang Xu smiled, "If you have to set one, it is to be heart-to-heart, and the etiquette is the best policy." ”

"Because people are unpredictable?" Mo Lian blinked wide-eyed.

"Because time has passed." Wang Xu chuckled and said, "What is Tu Tan arguing about outside?" ”

"The pressure on the Zhu family is a bit great." Mo Lian pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm training the warriors in the clan to make a shield tower." ”

Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, didn't say anything, looked at the two little tigers who were sleeping in the carriage, and frowned, "Why do you feel that the color of these two little guys is not right?" Was it like this when you were a kid? ”

Mo Lian shook her head, "It was also the first time I saw a tiger that day. ”

Wang Xu took a closer look at the two little tigers and found that they were both different colors, one dark and one light, but maybe because they were just born, the coat color was not very visible, and they couldn't tell whether they were abnormal or not.

"I'm back." Mo Lian pricked up his ears and said after hearing the sound of horses' hooves.

"Hmm." Wang Xu walked out of the carriage and watched Wang Li return with more than 20 horses, but there were only five people, and the rest were empty horses.

"Chasing the traces left by the group of mandrills, less than three miles away, there is a stream, there is a tree house upstream, there are sixty savages, women and children, dozens of mandrills, all fled into the forest under one blow, and the Zhu family stayed there to wait for an ambush." Wang Lilema said.

"More than 60 women and children? The man was estimated to be fifty or sixty, if not more. Wang Xu frowned and said, "Can they solve it in the Zhu family?" ”

"A group of savages who don't even have iron tools, the Zhu family can solve it alone." Wang Li chuckled and said, "Let's take advantage of the fact that the sun hasn't set yet, let's go over and have a look, if it's not the place you want to find, it's not bad for us to camp over there." Wang Li urged.

"Didn't find the hot springs?" Wang Xu frowned.

"I don't have time to look for it, and I have to control those wild women, and I rushed back to report the news." Wang Li said.

Wang Xu nodded, and asked Tu Tan to lead people to set up the carriage, and let the rest be pulled by the clansmen, anyway, the journey is not long, less than a thousand meters.

The convoy was on the road again, and Mo Ren seemed to have really communicated with the roe deer, and under the guidance of no lights, the roe deer automatically followed Mo Ren.

In the last rays of the sunset, the convoy finally walked out of the ancient dense forest with difficulty, and the open and flat land made everyone feel extra reassured, even if the afterglow of the setting sun and the blood on the ground were mixed, it did not disturb the cheers of the tribesmen.

Wang Xu frowned and looked at the dead wild man corpses lying in a pool of blood, and then looked at the temporary fence, the Zhu family and others who were holding spears and swords, and the women and children trembling in the fence, their eyes were full of despair and fear.

"Killed?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.

"No, only a few leaders and the strongest ones were killed, and the rest surrendered, and were taken to the other side of the river by the iron bull, if the men and women were locked together, it would be easy to get into trouble." The Zhu family put away their swords: "What is the emperor going to do with these people?" ”

"Do you understand what we're saying?" Wang Xu looked at the women and children kneeling in the fence, only the simple animal skin on his body covered his body, and in terms of state, he was even worse than the people of the Lonely Bamboo Country at the beginning.

But the skin of these people is strangely white, although it is not fair, but in this environment where you don't know what hygiene, beauty and ugliness are, it is really a miracle to be able to maintain this complexion.

I also confirmed that there must be a hot spring in this area.

"I don't understand, these people can communicate with mandrills, and they are no different from beasts." The Zhu family shook their heads and smiled.

"If you can communicate with mandrills, you can also communicate with people." Wang Xu smiled and said to Mo Lian beside him, "Communicate slowly, tell these women and children, you will be their leader in the future." ”

Mo Lian frowned, thought for a moment and nodded, and pulled out the dagger.

The savage women and children screamed in terror, but they did not run away.

Mo Lian shook the dagger in his hand, his pretty face was full of indifference, and then walked to the Zhu family, the dagger was on his neck

The Zhu family was stunned, then laughed out loud, and cooperated with Mo Lian not to move.

The women and children were relieved to see that Mo Lian's target was not them, and then they looked at Mo Lian with wide eyes and horror, and soon, a woman who looked like a leader knelt on the edge of the fence and bowed to Mo Lian in submission, and then everyone also bowed with her.

Murray broke through the fence with a dagger, and the woman pressed her forehead against Murray's shoe.

Mo Lian's body was a little stiff, but she accepted this strange etiquette.

"What a trick." Wang Li chuckled.

"If it were me, I would never let her come near me." Wang Xu shook his head.

Mo Lian's shoulders trembled after hearing this, and she glanced at Wang Xu a little nervously.

"Go ahead, but don't let them work yet, feed them first." Wang Xu looked at the skinny figures of these women and children, and said to Mo Lian.

Mo Lian nodded.

"Let's go over there and see the male captive." Wang Xu glanced at Mo Kui, who seemed to be very interested in the corpse in the distance, and said to Wang Li and the Zhu family.

"These people live in trees, aren't they really mandrills?" Wang Li asked, looking at the huts on the trees.

"I learned from mandrills." Wang Xu smiled and said, "But look at the scale, these mandrills should be raised by their ancestors, the tree house model, in this kind of wild is relatively normal, because living in the trees, can avoid the attack of wild beasts, they have no iron smelting, no farming, and no fence, indicating that it is very primitive, relying on gathering and fishing and hunting for a living, but looking at the population, it should have been multiplied for many generations." ”

Wang Li looked at some strange patterns under the tree again, "And the early totems and words have already appeared. ”

"Do you know these words?" Wang Li said in surprise.

"I don't know, but the appearance of words and totems means that there are other tribes around here." Wang Xu shook his head, "Because only when there is a foreign race, it is necessary to invent totems or words to distinguish the clansmen." ”

"I see." Wang Li was thoughtful.

The river next to the treehouse is more appropriately a stream, less than five meters wide and less than one meter deep at its deepest, but the small river dam with stones on both sides shows that these wild people still have good brains, and they have built a simple wooden bridge.

Stepping on the wooden bridge and entering the forest, I heard a miserable cry, and then saw the heavily armed Wang Jiajun guarding the large number of wild men lying on the ground, several of them were hung on trees, and the iron bull was whipping them with rattans.

"Okay, if you fight again, you'll die." Wang Xu frowned and stopped.

"The emperor doesn't know, these beasts only know what honesty is when they kill a hundred people, otherwise they always want to run." The iron bull urn said angrily.

Wang Xu smiled, lit the lighter, and when the orange flame flickered, everyone's eyes were in a trance, and making a fire out of thin air was undoubtedly a fairy method.

The savages, who were all lying on the ground trembling and pretending to be dead, screamed after seeing this scene, got up and knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Wang Xu, squeaking and shouting something in their mouths.

Wang Xu blew out the fire extinguishing seedlings and "made shackles out of hemp rope and brought them back, everyone should have a good rest after a busy day." ”

"The emperor doesn't have to feel sorry for this group of fools, these days are countless times more idle than them." The Zhu family chuckled.

"It's not the same time it used to be." Wang Xu smiled, "It's getting late, let's search the neighborhood at dawn tomorrow." ”

"A small part has been searched before, and the hot spring that the emperor is looking for is on this hillside, a big pool." The Zhu family said with a smile.

Wang Xu smiled, "Great, I can finally rest." ”
