The Original World Of Plane Trading

Chapter 156 Expansion

  After these slaves settled down, within a few days, the slaves with less serious injuries began to work.

Life in the Changhe tribe was much better than everyone expected. Although they had to do things every day, they no longer had to suffer from hunger and cold. Gradually, everyone did not reject their slave status so much.

Since these people became slaves temporarily, the great witches of the Muyuan tribe did not mark them as slaves one by one, and most of them still had the totems of their respective tribes.

After discussing with Bai, Dawu and Wu Nuo, the three of them did not mark them as slaves for the time being.

As time went by, these people gradually had some bold guesses.

Soon, their guesses became true.

"Temporarily exempt from slave status..."

"Migrate to a place further south..., the Changhe tribe will unify and delimit the area, and form sub-tribes..."

"The tribe provides seeds and planting methods for white sweet potatoes..."

"Open up wasteland...turn in food ...The grain discount is used to offset their selling fees..."

"Whoever reclaims the fields will own them. Part of the grain grown in the fields will be handed over to the tribe, and the rest will be distributed freely..." The

news came so suddenly that many people didn't know it at all. Believe your ears.

However, this is indeed a joint decision of the Dawu and the leader.

Wu Nuo and the others made such a decision out of helplessness.

The yield of white sweet potatoes is very high, but it is not easy to store. If the storage is not good, a whole cellar of food will be scrapped. Moreover, white sweet potatoes can only be stored for a few months at most, and sprouts will sprout soon after the end of the cold winter. Like potatoes, sprouting sweet potatoes are somewhat toxic. Therefore, it will be extremely difficult when the lean period comes. Fortunately, people in this world are physically strong, and a little bit of toxicity won't do them any harm, but after a long time, it's not a good thing after all. Moreover, in the event of a large-scale natural disaster, it is impossible for everyone to survive the food shortage period of more than a year for the white sweet potatoes stored in the cellar.

In contrast, the original species of wheat and rice are more resistant to storage and carrying, and are more suitable for strategic food reserves than white sweet potatoes.

The yield of white sweet potatoes is very high, but to feed a growing population, wider land is bound to be needed.

The fields reclaimed by the tribe are already very wide, and if they extend to the outside, they will inevitably face management difficulties.

Instead of letting everyone develop around the tribe, it is better to let some people migrate to places with better planting conditions to the south, reclaim wasteland, and use it as a base to develop a lower-level sub-tribe. When there are more and more sub-tribes like this, the Changhe Tribe will grow bigger and bigger, and eventually it will become a city-state or even... a country.

Expand outward.

When Wu Nuo explained his thoughts to Bai and Da Wu for the first time, both of them stared wide-eyed!

To put it bluntly, these slaves are the compensation they earned in this war against the pasture, allowing them to serve as slaves within the tribe. For the tribe, it is just a rental fee. By giving them the status of free people, they will certainly reduce the rental fee, but in other words, they can collect food as compensation, and at the same time expand their territory. After all, few people would be willing to let the existing residents move to a place far away from the tribe to open up wasteland. And these people, they are not only willing, but also very grateful for the kindness and generosity of the tribe.
