The small population has always been a big problem, and the city of Meaux is just a small city of more than 1,500 acres, but it also seems empty. You must know that in later generations, most of a university is only one or two thousand acres.

This makes Yan Zheng always have a strong desire for the population. There are fewer people, and there is neither a market nor a labor force.

And in this day and age, the ability to transform nature is purely based on how many people you have.

If it weren't for his inability, he even wanted to go on the field in person and guide the clansmen to make babies quickly.

So as soon as there is a chance to get a population, he will not give up.

So this spoils distribution meeting eventually evolved into an auction.

In the end, Yan Zhengxin got nineteen young boys and girls and thirty-one old people.

This result made him a little dissatisfied, if the old man got the tribe, at most he could use it to farm and work, and he had no fertility.

Unlike boys and girls, as long as they are well nourished, they can give birth to four in five years!

After these tribes sent the so-called captives, no one asked why these captives did not have the totem of the Douwei Society on their heads.

Only the Taduobu and the Reed Division, the two relatives of the Douwei Society, didn't care about the eyes of others at all, indicating that the people they sent were pure prisoners of the Douwei Society.

In desperation, Yan Zheng only added ten points to them.

The rest of the tribes didn't object, but their eyes were full of disdain when they looked at the two tribes.

After distributing the loot, these tribal leaders did not rush to leave, but brought it up, wanting to take the opportunity to trade the loot.

Yan Zheng felt that they were really shrewd, so he happily agreed, and announced that there was no date limit for future transactions.

Caravans of any tribe can trade as long as they run outside the gates of Meaux.

He also promised to build some thatched huts outside the city so that the caravans could rest here.

The leaders were so pleased with this promise that they thanked him and went to discuss the deal with Ashin.

In the end, two-thirds of these trophies remained in Monabu.

These people took with them a large amount of salt, faience, rice bowls, and furs, and each tribe was able to buy ten pairs of bamboo armor.

A spoils distribution meeting ended so happily, and these people also seemed to become enthusiastic with the end of the spoils.

There were several tribal leaders, and they even exchanged ideas about each other.

This made Yan Zheng very satisfied, just like after a prostitution together, the friendship instantly increased by a few grades.

The next day, as soon as Yan Zheng got up, he heard the news of Ma Zhu's suicide.

He let out a long sigh, feeling that there was still some integrity among the savages, and he ordered Haosheng to bury Mazhu.

In his heart, he wanted to recruit Ma Zhu, after all, he was a smart man, but he didn't know if he could be loyal.

So instead of gambling on human nature, it is better to directly eliminate the only remaining hard bones of the Douwei Society, so as not to have any accidents in the future.

And to implement this plan, Ma Zhu is also bound to die.

Ma Zhu may have understood Yan Zheng's attempt, or he didn't want to see the surrendered clansmen being played like prey.

Yan Zheng called An San and instructed: "From now on, you go to thoroughly investigate the infighting in the headquarters of the Douwei Society, remember, find out the culprit and find out the culprit." ”

An San felt that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Are you going to fight for the Douwei Society and thoroughly investigate the internal fighting?" For the captives? ”

Yan Zheng looked at him and nodded, "That's right! This is to seek justice for those who died as a result of infighting, and for their families. ”

An San was a little confused, he thought about it and asked, "That...... This, but they are captives, and the infighting is also the business of the Douwei Society, are we a little nosy? ”

Yan Zheng glared at him viciously, and criticized sharply: "Our enemies are those militants in the headquarters of the Douwei Society, and the ordinary people of the Douwei Society are also victims.

They were bewitched by these people, and they participated in the battle against Monabu. What we have to do is to expose the ugly faces of these militants and wake up the ordinary people of the Douwei Society! ”

"I ...... I don't understand, why does this have to be thoroughly investigated? ”

"Come here!"

An San leaned his ear over, and Yan Zheng said in a low voice: "These people still have internal contradictions, if you don't take advantage of them at this time, they will only hate us after a while!" ”

"Let them understand that we have given them a new life, that we have forgiven them, that we have delivered them! Do you understand? ”

An San nodded stunned and said, "I understand, but what does this have to do with a thorough investigation?" ”

"Just do what I say! There is also to encourage these people to report and expose, and those who report and expose will be rewarded! ”

An San nodded knowingly and retreated, he felt that this bend was too winding, and his mind couldn't turn around.

Yan Zheng sighed helplessly, he actually didn't want to play this disgusting set, but after thinking about it for a long time yesterday, he still felt that it was best to take advantage of this infighting.

Anyway, the knife handle is already in his hands, and right or wrong is his word.

And the prisoners caught this time are not many, and there are only more than two hundred young people.

This made him have to sigh why there are more people killed in internal battles than in external wars.

He asked Lan Ya to call Lu Wan again, preparing to finish the matter of slaughtering the headquarters of the Douwei Society.

Lu Wan quickly ran over, but what made Yan Zheng angry and hateful was that this dog thing now had to carry a small drum when he walked there.

The women and men of the tribe liked to listen to the sound of the drums he played.

"You take a platoon, plus fifty naturalized people, and move the boundary pillar forward until all the surrounding tribes are included." Yan Zheng commanded.

Lu Wan was excited: "Is it to turn the surrounding tribes into our territory?" ”

"Well, remember, it's only limited to those tribes in the upper reaches of the big river, and the three kinship tribes downstream don't care!"

Lu Wan smiled fiercely and said, "It's long overdue to move, every time I patrol the boundary monument, I can't help but want to move!" ”

Yan Zheng sighed and said: "You also have to think about it, the more the boundary monument is moved outward, the bigger the place you have to patrol, the bigger the place is, the more manpower there will be!" So listen to me, move the boundary monument when it should be, and even in the end, we don't need the boundary monument anymore! ”

"Why don't you need a boundary marker?"

"Because at that time, I will tell everyone that the whole world is not the king's land! As long as the sun shines, it is our territory! ”

Lu Wan thought about it, and only felt that where the sun could shine, it must be a very big territory.

"Also, can you not carry a drum all the time!"

Lu Wan smiled and said, "If I don't play the drum once a day now, I don't feel strong enough to do anything!" ”

"Then change to a musical instrument, you go find a suitable size bamboo, I'll make you a branch Xiao, you can blow the flute later!"

"Xiao? Is it better than drums? ”

"A hundred times better than drums, and a more playful meaning, I'll tell you later!"
