Mao's words made Han Cheng appreciate him more, but also made Han Cheng fall into thinking.
Han Cheng had never really thought about exchanging people for things like salt, pottery, and other things.
In fact, it cannot be said that he has not thought about it, but whenever some such thoughts arise, he will suppress them subconsciously.
As a person from later generations, when faced with this kind of thing, he is always full of a sense of guilt, which makes him unconsciously avoid this method of increasing population.
Especially after recalling what I had learned about the sinful triangular trade, I was even more reluctant to think about it.
Because the triangular trade unleashes all the evil in human nature, making people no longer human, but a devil that only emerges from hell.
Han Cheng has always believed that when people live in the world, they should have some kind thoughts in their hearts and be in awe, because lawless people have basically broken away from the category of human beings and are not much different from animals. Even even
Worse than any beast.
Because of these cognitions, after he arrived, when he led the Qingque tribe forward step by step, he did not resort to all possible means.
On some things, he would rather be slower than touch some bottom lines deep in his heart.
At present, it seems that under his philosophy, the Qingque tribe is developing well.
Although sometimes it seems slow and leisurely, or it takes some long detours, the tribe still develops and leads troops step by step.
Whether it is population, food, or weapons, there has been a huge improvement.
Moreover, the tribes that gradually developed did not have too much oppression, nor too much hostility. They had less intrigues, more unity and cooperation, less chaos, and more hard work.
Han Ben's personality tends to be peaceful, so he is very satisfied with the current status of the tribe. Living in such an environment will make people feel comfortable unconsciously.
Compared with the later generations, the materials and other aspects were naturally far behind, but gradually, Han Cheng felt that living here seemed to be happier than he had lived in the later generations.
Well, speaking of this, he has somewhat embarrassed the group of time travellers.
After all, many people have prospered in some high-level societies after traveling through time.
And he came to a truly impoverished primitive society, and actually lived a very happy life, happily starting a primitive life without shame...
With this understanding, Han Cheng was ready to reject Mao's proposal directly, but what Mao said next made Han Cheng change his mind.
In fact, what Mao said was nothing extraordinary.
Due to the limitations of the times, although Mao's eloquence is much better than that of ordinary people, it is impossible for him to be like a professional lobbyist like Su Qin Zhang Yi, who can talk endlessly and use his lips and tongue to make people dizzy.
He just talked about the yearning of the outside tribes for the Qingque Tribe.
The situation Mao mentioned was something Han Cheng liked to see, partly because it proved that his foreign policy was correct.
On the other hand, it is because, with this situation, it is foreseeable that the Qingque tribe will have a bright future in a certain period of time in the future.
While I was happy, I also thought about using things like salt in exchange for population, and I figured out some different flavors.
Compared with those people whose eyes were blocked by gold coins and silver coins respectively, and could not see anything except these two things, Han Cheng could not commit such crimes even if he asked people to exchange people with things like salt.
Because the people who are exchanged will not be treated as slaves, but will become citizens of the Qingque tribe.
After arriving here, they will have warm houses to live in and enough food to fill their stomachs. Their labor is to make themselves and other people in the tribe live a better life.
Here, they will not be squeezed too much, and Han Cheng will not be so cruel as to let people peel off their scalps and use their skulls to make wine glasses or other decorations.
Moreover, this kind of transaction is based on voluntary basis, and there will be no forced buying or selling.
Such a comparison will actually reveal that two things that look very similar at first glance are actually fundamentally different.
From this point of view, even if some are exchanged, it won't be a big hindrance.
After all, there are not many tribes who dare to take the initiative to provoke the Qingque Tribe, which deprives the Qingque Tribe of a large source of population.
The "canned plan" implemented by Han Chengrang's trade team is a long-term matter that takes time to ferment and is unlikely to produce immediate results in a short period of time.
Therefore, the current Qingque tribe is basically in an awkward situation of absorbing foreign population.
Now it seems that this hole can be opened.
Not many tribes would choose to exchange their population for salt, and this would not happen often, but it would be nice to have an extra person in the tribe from time to time.
After Han Cheng thought about it carefully for a while, he called Wu Gong to discuss the matter.
Compared to people like Han Cheng who came from later generations, Wu Ke was much cleaner. After learning about this matter from Han Cheng and confirming that it would be of great benefit to the tribe, he immediately expressed his agreement.
He felt that as long as it was good for the tribe and would not cause much harm, it was worth doing.
As for the emotions such as guilt caused by this, they will not appear in him at all.
This can be seen from his behavior of using his toothless teeth to leisurely chew on the rabbit leg that he usually takes good care of, and even sometimes humming some unknown tune.
Don't think about this precious emotion appearing in his heart.
The matter of exchanging salt for population has been decided. From then on, when the Qingque Tribe trading team went out to do business, there was another item that could be exchanged for salt.
Of course, after making this decision, Han Cheng still carefully told Shang, Mao and other members of the trade team some things, letting them remember that this kind of transaction can only be based on the voluntariness of the other party, and the trade team's
One cannot use force.
Of course, if any tribe dares to plot evil against the people of the trade team, then the people of the trade team should not be too polite. On the premise of ensuring their own safety, they can get back those guys who touched Qingque's buttocks.
