Chapter 457: Expansion is necessary, but it cannot be blindly expanded
What kind of tribe is this?
How could the leader of another tribe bring the entire tribe to join it?
The leader of the Donkey Tribe was still shocked. He thought he knew enough about this rich and powerful tribe before, but now, it has become unfamiliar again.
After thinking about it for a while, the leader of the Donkey Tribe became less worried.
Because this rich and powerful tribe is still kind and has not become evil because of its power.
As long as it's not an evil tribe, it won't be particularly scary.
"#￥%%?"
After walking like this for a while, the leader of the Donkey Tribe suddenly stopped and asked the people behind him.
He was asking them if they were willing to join that rich and powerful tribe.
Some people from the Green Tribe said they didn't want to do it without hesitation, and some hesitated for a while before saying they didn't want to.
Others, after hesitating for a while, said yes.
Because they remembered all the enviable things they had seen in that tribe.
Today, many people from the original Green Tribe happily told them about the attractive features of life in the Qingque Tribe, which made them even more excited.
When I heard the leader ask this question, I thought that the leader also wanted to imitate the Green Tribe and bring people to join that wealthy tribe, so he happily answered yes.
The donkey tribe leader's already dark face turned even darker.
He originally thought that the people of the tribe who lived a very prosperous life under his leadership would not yearn for that wealthy and powerful tribe, but who would have thought that this would actually turn out to be the case.
Immediately, he put down the salt shaker on his shoulders, walked up to those who said yes, and those who hesitated before saying no, and kicked each of them in the butt.
After all these people said they were unwilling, they picked up the salt shaker again and walked forward angrily.
Now the life of their tribe is getting better and better. Although it is not as powerful and wealthy as that tribe, it is still stronger than ordinary tribes. How could he give up his tribe and follow the example of the leader of the Green tribe and join that wealthy tribe?
Go to a powerful tribe?
Thinking of this, the leader of the Donkey Tribe shook his head and smiled...
The basket in Han Cheng's hand already contained a lot of tender green mustard greens.
He squatted down, shoveled into the soil with his right hand holding a small white bone shovel, and with his left hand, he picked up a mustard green with its roots cut off and put it in the basket.
Mustard greens that have not yet bloomed in spring are the most delicious. After being washed and chopped, mixed with fried golden eggs and seasonings, it is best used to make dumplings.
Unlike ordinary dumplings with fillings that tend to become watery, dumplings with mustard green fillings will not become watery after being cooked, but will also become very solid and chewy in the mouth.
It's a pity that the Qingque tribe now has mustard greens and eggs, but no flour.
Millet can be ground into powder, but it is not sticky enough. After adding water, it cannot be made into lumps. This makes Han Cheng extremely melancholy.
In this era, a bowl of dumplings has become a luxury item. Han Cheng has been looking forward to it for several years, but now he has not even tasted it.
These mustard greens can only be boiled briefly in boiling water, and then eaten cold with some salt and vinegar.
Thinking about this with regret, he straightened up after digging some mustard greens and looked in the direction where the donkey tribe left.
With the addition of the Green Tribe, the labor shortage of the Qingque Tribe has been greatly alleviated.
There is no need to fight against the Donkey Tribe at the moment.
Moreover, even if people from the Donkey Tribe asked to join the Qingque Tribe at this time, Han Cheng would not agree.
Firstly, the Qingque Tribe has just absorbed a Green Tribe, which has not yet been fully digested.
Secondly, the Donkey Tribe is different from ordinary tribes. It is now equivalent to the trading team of the Qingque Tribe.
Through it, the Qingque tribe indirectly communicated with other surrounding tribes.
The third, and most important, point is the food problem that the Qingque tribe has.
The expansion of a tribe is not as simple as simply plundering the population. It requires consideration of many aspects, the most important of which is whether the tribe can produce enough food to feed the newly absorbed population.
After absorbing the Green Tribe last winter, the current population that the Qingque Tribe can support has basically reached saturation compared to the actual population it has.
If you want to expand again, you need to make use of the existing population, continue to increase the reclamation of farmland, and grow more food.
When there is a surplus of food, there is more energy left to absorb other tribes and use it to strengthen one's own tribe.
Forced absorption is not impossible, but the current living standard of the Qingque tribe will definitely be seriously lowered.
Once living standards are seriously lowered, it will easily lead to a series of problems.
Poverty leads to strategy, wealth leads to conscience. Although this sentence is a bit too absolute, it still makes sense to a certain extent.
When a person is so poor that it is difficult to live a normal life, he has to grit his teeth to deal with some things that he hates most in daily life...
If Han Cheng was brutal enough, he could not treat the people he absorbed as human beings, give them very few means of survival, and let them do a lot of heavy work.
When they are exhausted, they can just dig holes and bury them. In winter, when there is a lack of food, they can be killed and eaten. If they don’t care about their life or death, they can naturally expand without caring about them.
But the problem is that he is not a pure primitive man. As an ordinary person from the past, he cannot do such a trivial matter with human life.
If he really does this, his current leisurely state of mind will be gone immediately, and he is afraid that he will not be happy in the future.
It was difficult enough in the later generations. In order to survive, I endured all kinds of humiliation and endured all kinds of unspeakable sadness. Now that I am here, I naturally cannot allow myself to live such a wronged life.
On the premise of living comfortably, expanding the tribe is what Han Cheng has been doing.
Otherwise, when the Time Tribe develops, he will become depressed, and his heart and whole person will be exhausted to the extreme. That would be really uncomfortable...
The cold mustard greens with chopped green onion and vinegar tasted very refreshing, and Han Cheng felt very comfortable eating it.
Most of the other people in the Qingque tribe still prefer meat.
Gu ate very quickly. In a short time, he had already eaten several bowls of rice.
He put the bowl into the pottery basin filled with water, wiped it with his mouth, and then went to dig the soil.
Han Cheng asked him to rest for a while and refused to go again...
Looking at Gu's leaving figure, Han Cheng nodded secretly. This leader of the original green tribe is really capable...
