Chapter 371: Slaves and Servants 2/2
A fleet of five A-boats sailed away from the banks of the river corresponding to the Aoki tribe and headed west.
"My king is like a god!" Lu Yuan sighed.
Things are just as Su Yan expected, trading weapons to start a war, gaining population from the war, and trading weapons with the population, the cycle continues, and Lu Yuan is looking forward to the third trade with the Aoki tribe.
Lu Yuan is sighing, Yue Rong is also sighing, this is really an easy journey, without a single clansman killed or injured, the dragon tribe can get a large number of people, and the dragon tribe lacks animal skins, which is unimaginable in Yue Rong's mind, and now it has appeared.
In the past, the dragon tribe fought abroad, as long as there was a battle, the dragon tribe almost always suffered casualties, although the clansmen have been used to their companions dying and injured in the war, but who wants to die or their companions, wouldn't it be better to live.
In the fleet, the happiest two are probably Zhao Lin and Eagle Xi, the two are responsible for the transaction of the Dragon Tribe to the Aoki Tribe, and they have completed two transactions, and the value of each transaction is very high, the two of them have made a great contribution this time, and they have the opportunity to be rewarded by the king himself after returning to the tribe.
The rest of Luyuan's trading team was full of envy of Zhao Lin and Eagle Breath, and they hoped that they would be able to complete such a large-scale transaction in the future.
The escorts on the five A-boats were all carefully guarding the people who had been traded from the Aoki tribe in their cabins, and they were now relatively honest, who could be sure if they would suddenly burst out.
The fleet sailed westward, and instead of turning back to the source river, it went to Yangcheng, which was relatively close, and stopped for a while.
Many of those "slaves" were injured, and a small number of them were not suitable for taking the boat, so they were placed in Yangcheng, and the remaining "slaves" were brought back to the three northern cities.
A day later, Source City.
Knowing that the fleet had returned from the trade, Su Yan hurriedly left his house and headed for the dock.
"King!"
Along the way, when the clansmen saw the figure of the king, they stopped and respectfully shouted "Wang".
There is no such ritual in the dragon tribe, it is formed spontaneously by the clansmen.
Su Yan walked all the way to the dock, and the people on the dock added to the arrival of the king, and the earth-shaking sound sounded.
"King!"
Lu Yuan and Yue Rong walked quickly in front of Su Yan.
"King, we are back."
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Su Yan said with a smile, but his gaze had already shifted from Lu Yuan and Yue Rong to the "slaves" and large bundles of animal skins on the dock.
"It's not a small harvest this time."
"Wang, the harvest this time is indeed not small, nearly a thousand animal skins, and four hundred and fifty-three slaves, but the adult slaves are a little few, only forty-six people, and all of them are men, and the rest are all underage slaves, and the male and female slaves are almost half of the juvenile slaves." Lu Yuan explained to Su Yan.
Hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, Su Yan smiled, the Dragon Tribe's first foreign trade can have so much gains, it is indeed beyond Su Yan's expectations, but there is one thing Su Yan needs to remind Lu Yuan and the other clansmen.
"Yuan, these people who have traded over cannot be regarded as slaves, they are different from slaves, the tribe of slaves was wiped out by our dragon tribe, and the hatred is difficult to eliminate, and the tribe of the population that has been traded is not destroyed by our tribe, and there is not much hatred.
Give them a title, servants, as long as they work honestly in the Dragon Tribe for three years, after three years they can become members of the Dragon Tribe, those who perform well can become Dragon Tribe clansmen in advance, and those who perform badly will be directly reduced to slaves. ”
"My king is wise." Lu Yuan and Yuerong prayed together.
Hearing Wang say this, Lu Yuan and Yue Rong suddenly realized that these people were all traded by the Dragon Tribe from other tribes, and their tribe was not destroyed by the Dragon Tribe, and the hatred of the destruction of the tribe could not be counted on the head of the Dragon Tribe, as long as they performed well, they could completely integrate into the Dragon Tribe.
Both of them have not forgotten the history of the Dragon Tribe, especially the Deer Rim, the Dragon Tribe has grown from a few hundred people to more than 20,000 people today, and the most important thing is to absorb people from other tribes into themselves, and these people who trade from other tribes are a good choice.
Su Yan passed down the order to let the clansmen not treat these servants too harshly, and then the three of them found a place to sit down together, and Lu Yuan solved the matter of this trip for Su Yan.
Although the time of this trip is very long, the fleet has been away for almost twenty days, but there are not many things that happen in the trip, most of the time is the fleet sailing in the Yellow River, and the rest of the thing is that the fleet and the four tribes try to contact and trade, the most talked about is the Aoki tribe, Lu Yuan also mentioned Zhao Lin and Yingxi, the two of them have made great contributions.
"Zhao Lin and Eagle Breath, I'll meet the two of them later, maybe both of them can be on their own in the future."
Lu Yuan nodded approvingly.
"Wang, you are really like a god, the Aoki tribe hurriedly launched a war against the other tribes after exchanging a batch of weapons, so that the Aoki tribe will soon use the population obtained in the war to make a second trade with us, and maybe a third trade soon."
"Haha, weapons are meant to fight, I hope more tribes can trade weapons with us, and if they have weapons, they will go to war, and then trade with us with the population gained from the war."
"My king is wise!" Lu Yuan and Yuerong bowed again.
After Su Yan ended his communication with Lu Yuan and Yue Rong, he immediately summoned Zhao Lin and Ying Xi, and it was the first time that the two of them accepted Wang's summons "alone", and their eyes released a feverish gaze.
"I heard from the deer patriarch that the two of you have done a very good job on this trip, you two must continue to maintain it, the future of the dragon tribe belongs to you young people." Su Yan patted Zhao Lin and Yingxi on the shoulders and said.
"Wang, we will definitely continue to work hard." Feeling the feeling of the king on their shoulders, the two of them were about to burst into tears, they were excited, they were happy, they were willing to give everything for the dragon tribe.
In a simple conversation, Su Yan did not say what rewards to be given to Zhao Lin and Ying Xi, but Zhao Lin and Ying Xi believed that they would get a lot of rewards, and if they exchanged the rewards for the opportunity to meet the king, the two were willing to exchange their rewards for their own rewards.
In the future, there will often be opportunities to make meritorious contributions, but the opportunities to meet the king are becoming less and less.
Su Yan stayed on the dock for a while before returning home, this time the experience of foreign trade made Su Yan think of many things, the final problem was that the ships of the Dragon Tribe were still a little small.
If there are more ships, the dragon tribe can organize two or more fleets, which will depart at intervals of half a month to a month, so that the caravan of the dragon tribe can sail back and forth in the Yellow River to trade with other tribes.
