Chapter 39: The Forsaken Wandering Savage
After Anabe sent someone to greet a sacred bird respectfully, the team of armed diplomacy also returned.
It can be seen from Lu Wan's smug expression that this armed diplomacy is going very smoothly.
It took them four days to spread the great martial arts of Mona to all the surrounding tribes.
There were already more than a dozen people in their ranks, all of them wandering savages who were willing to come and join them.
Lu Wan told Yan Zheng that there were more wandering savages in the area, but those people still didn't believe in Monabu.
Yan Zheng had long known that there was a group of wandering savages, and these people belonged to the outcasts.
And the reasons for their abandonment are also varied, either they are too weak, or they are the witches of their tribe, saying that they can no longer stay in the territory, or they are the losers in the tribal struggle for power.
After all, this is the law of survival here, because hunting is limited, so when the tribe is large, it will always expel some weak people who waste food.
This is the real law of the jungle, and those who are eliminated will most likely die soon.
Because it is difficult for individuals to catch prey, individual individuals are also the best targets for headhunting, they spend most of their time hiding in Tibet, and once they are too weak to run, they may become a headless corpse.
Yan Zheng really saw this group for the first time, and immediately refreshed his understanding of the concept of people.
The dozen or so people were as thin as bamboo poles, and their bodies and faces were dirty, and the stench on their bodies could be smelled from several meters away.
There was even a man whose arm had begun to rot and grow maggots.
They all had dull expressions, and when they looked at Yan Zheng, some people even flowed out of Halazi.
Yan Zheng felt sad for a while, and he really wanted to beat him up.
These dozen or so people in particular obviously couldn't live anymore, so when they heard that someone was willing to shelter them, they directly chose to follow.
But Yan Zheng didn't want to do good deeds, what he wanted was labor, and he wanted people to farm and work for him.
"Are there many wandering savages like this?" Yan Zheng asked the leader.
The leader nodded and said, "Many, we have encountered them before, and they are all killed. They are usually alone, or three or five together, and have no ability to resist at all. It is the favorite object of the teenagers to get out of the grass. ”
Yan Zheng sighed when he heard this, he could imagine what kind of life these wandering savages lived.
"It's all this emaciated look?"
The leader smiled: "This is not bad, some wandering savages can only lie down and wait for death." But there are also stronger ones, and those who are strong will also co-opt other wandering wildlings to form small tribes again. ”
Yan Zheng was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "In the future, we will no longer kill wandering savages, and when we meet wandering savages, we will tell them that if they are willing to come and hunt for us, they can come." ”
The leader hesitated: "But the clansmen will be unwilling, you have also seen, these people are so thin and weak, they may not be able to hunt prey." If you want them to hunt, you have to let them eat well and become strong. ”
"If it weren't for your orders, I think they should all be killed!" Lu Wan answered on the side.
Yan Zheng glared at Lu Wan and said, "Have you forgotten our tribe's oath to hoe the strong and help the weak?" Aren't these people weak? You are so powerful, killing them, can you prove your bravery to the ancestral spirits? ”
Lu Wan lowered his head, "But ...... But they are not from our tribe, and if they do not bring us any benefit, why should we shelter them, and why should we give them rations? ”
Yan Zheng slapped Lu Wan on the head and said angrily: "Couldn't these people do anything else besides hunting?" The pottery and salt of our tribe are also made by the tribesmen with hard work, and they didn't go hunting, so could it be that they don't deserve to stay in our tribe? ”
Lu Wan was speechless, and he couldn't figure out what the connection was.
The leader wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a moment before saying, "They can stay, but they must be useful!" ”
Yan Zhengdao: "This is natural, as long as I am given a while, I can make you understand that everyone is very precious." As long as he lives, he can create good things. So it's actually worth giving some food first. ”
The leader sighed and turned to walk towards the thatched hut.
Yan Zheng knew that this was a tacit acquiescence, as long as the leader acquiesced, the opinions of the clansmen were not important.
He asked a few of his clansmen to bring a large clay jar and began to cook broth for the wandering savages.
As pieces of dried meat were chopped up and thrown into the large clay jar, these wandering savages slowly approached the large clay jar like walking corpses.
One by one, they were like skeletons, and their eyes were staring at the broth, and they were gathered around the large clay jar.
Yan Zheng was furious, and took a stick to line them up, and those who disobeyed were beaten out with a stick.
From now on, he wants to let these people know what rules are.
The reformed people can't use too barbaric methods, and they treat these people with a lot less consideration.
Soon, the wandering savages knew it was time to line up and pick up their own broth one by one.
After getting the broth, I devoured it on the side.
After eating, they lay on the ground one by one, digesting this rare meal.
Yan Zheng asked people to boil hot water again, and he found a few female captives and asked them to shave the hair of these wandering savages.
After shaving their hair, they are given a hot bath.
Washed with grass and wood ash by a few rude women, these wandering savages finally took on the form of a human being.
Yan Zheng was very happy and said to them: "Later, each of you can get a piece of skin, and tomorrow you can build a house for yourself, and you will help me farm and work in the future!" ”
The wandering savages looked at each other numbly, and after a moment they understood, and one by one they began to show compliance.
"Lu Wan, in the future, you will catch as many as you want this kind of wandering savage, remember, even if you are so hungry that you can't walk, as long as you are not sick, you will find a way to carry it back. If I let me know that you kill indiscriminately, I will definitely strip you of the position of captain and give it to someone else! Yan Zheng threatened fiercely.
Lu Wan's unconvinced face quickly rose into a panic, and he hurriedly said, "I will definitely not kill them indiscriminately in the future!" ”
"You swear to the ancestral spirit!"
"I will no longer kill wandering savages indiscriminately, if there is a disobedience, the soul is only a rainbow bridge!"
Yan Zheng patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Your task has been completed very well this time, I heard that there are more than a dozen tribes, and they are already planning to negotiate with us about the transaction." ”
"Yes, there are big tribes, and there are several small tribes!"
Yan Zheng said with a smile: "Whether it's a big tribe or a small tribe, we must keep our promises." How about leaving this matter to you? I'm going to let you take our cargo on another trip! ”
Lu Wan nodded and said, "I will definitely let these tribes be willing to come and trade with us." ”
Yan Zheng patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Very good, there is nothing to reward you this time, the female captive of the Sinai Department, you have taken a fancy to those two, just pick them!" ”
Lu Wan raised his head and glanced at Yan Zheng, and said with a slight joy: "But, I already have a wife!" ”
"It's okay! Your wife is still your wife, I have created a new saying, these two female captives are your concubines! A concubine is a lower status than a wife, but a higher status than a servant. ”
Lu Wanbei smiled: "It's really ...... Is that really the case? ”
"What I said can be false? I went to the leader and said that in the future, all the capable men in our tribe can have a wife and two concubines. If you don't have the ability, you can only have one wife and one concubine! ”
Lu Wan ran to the place where the female prisoner was guarded in ecstasy, and soon his bold laughter was heard.
Yan Zheng's conscience was stinged, but he had to do it, he had to make sure that the tribe gave birth to as many newborns as possible.
Newborns are the hope, no matter how this group of old people transforms, it will be like this.
And what he is now promoting is slavery in disguise.
These wandering savages who were absorbed were not the same as the Mona tribe, but the people who were attached to the Mona tribe.
In the future, they can only become Mona tribesmen if they make enough contributions.
And the person who evaluates their contribution and determines whether they can become a member of the Mona tribe is Yan Zheng!
As long as Yan Zheng firmly grasps this power, he can let these wandering savages work and live according to his will.
