At the moment of life and death, no one dares to fool around.

Soon the people of the Chijiao tribe took out all the things that Mu Feng asked for.

Looking at the things on the ground, Mu Feng couldn't help being a little surprised: sixteen jars of salt, no less than two or three hundred bone knives and stone axes, and four or five hundred furs.

Mu Feng sighed from the bottom of his heart: No wonder people say "One shot of the cannon is worth ten thousand taels of gold". Sure enough, war is the fastest way to accumulate wealth!

He grinned and didn't express his opinion immediately, but instead asked Xiong Da and Yeli in a low voice: "If you were to annex the Chijiao tribe, how many people would you want?"

Xiong Da and Yeli suddenly became frenzied, but calmed down soon.

Xiong Da sighed and said: "Chief, our Heixiong tribe doesn't have many fighters, and the population is also small. We can't swallow these people from the Chijiao tribe!"

Mu Feng shook his head: "I didn't allow any of your tribes to annex, I, Jiang, will be with you!"

Xiong Da's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty! We can't feed if there are too many!"

Yeli followed suit and said, "Our Wild Wolf Division can only have forty at most. If there are too many, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to our tribe!"

Mu Feng nodded to express his understanding. After all, the number of their tribe was very small, only about 200 people. The extra population would be beneficial and harmful to them.

The advantage is that there is more labor force, and the population growth rate of the tribe will be faster.

The disadvantage is that there are more mouths to eat, and the food requirements of the tribe are higher.

He sighed, and gave up the idea of ​​completely annexing the Chijiao tribe in his heart.

If the appetites of the two tribes were bigger, and one tribe took over a hundred people, he would "eat" the entire Chijiao tribe even if he took a little risk.

But right now, only a hundred or so people would dare to take the two parts together, so he had to reconsider.

You know, even if they want it, they don't dare to ask for soldiers from the Chijiao tribe, at most they want some young and strong laborers and young women.

After all, no one wants to have so many strong captive fighters in their tribe, which will cause hidden dangers for their tribe.

As for children, no one wants to have them. If they do, they are probably raising children for others—who wants to be the one who takes the blame?

Even if Jiang's current strength far surpasses these two tribes, it is absolutely impossible to annex the remaining 400 or so people at once!

For one thing, Jiang's existing slaves are already one hundred and thirty to forty, plus Jiang's own clansmen, there are enough people who open their mouths to eat every day.

Secondly, many years of experience in studying history told Mufeng that one bite cannot make you fat.

In history, all dynasties, dynasties, and empires that relied on rapid plunder and rapid expansion were short-lived ghosts.

After all, the foundation that has been plundered rapidly is unstable, and he continues to eat before it is digested, and in the end he will support himself to death.

The Great Qin Dynasty in ancient times, Macedonia abroad, and Japan in modern times...

Both are rapid expansion and rapid disintegration, all because the foundation is not solid.

Mu Feng has studied these for so many years, so he naturally understands the balance between Xu Tu's aggressiveness and "making war money".

After thinking for a while, the members of the Chijiao tribe said: "We need half of the sixteen pots of salt! We also need half of the furs! The bone knives and stone axes are enough for the young and strong of your tribe, and the rest will be ours! "

All the clansmen of the Chijiao Tribe looked sad and even more indignant.

There are even those who show hostility.

Mu Feng grinned sneeringly, and directly started pointing at people: "This one, this one, and that one... all come out, kill them!"

The rest of the Chijiao tribe immediately became frightened again.
Mu Feng continued: "Your tribe now needs fifty unmarried women, fifty young and strong, no fighters!"

The triangular eyes that fell on the ground finally got up rubbing his chest at this time, and glared at Mu Feng: "Are you trying to rob my Chijiao tribe?"

Mu Feng kicked him over: "Old Bangzi, get out of here, if you don't want more people from the Chijiao tribe to die, then shut up!"

The members of the Red Flood Dragon showed sorrow, and quickly pushed out 100 people.

It can be seen that these one hundred people are not well mixed in the tribe, and each of them is slightly sallow and thin compared to other tribesmen.

Obviously, they all heard from Mu Feng's accent that he had no intention of exterminating the clan, and at this moment, they all started thinking about pushing out all the people who were usually hated in the clan to take the blame.

After all, everyone knows that ordinary people who ask for marriage and walk away have a very low status in other tribes, let alone those who were defeated in war and were taken away as captives.

Not to mention, the people from the Yishui tribe of their tribe are the best example!

This is the dark side of human nature.

After these people were pushed out, there was obvious despair and resentment on their faces-they could already foresee their tragic fate.

But this is exactly what Mu Feng wanted. What he needs is people who have been excluded in the original tribe and who do not have a high degree of recognition for the tribe.

He looked at the hundred people, and looked directly at Li Huxiong and Yeli: "Out of the fifty people, our Jiang family only needs 20 women, and the rest will be given to your two tribes, how about it?"

Xiong Da and Ye Li were taken aback for a moment, and then ecstasy appeared on their faces: "Thank you, Chief!"

Mu Feng said again: "Eight cans of salt, my Jiang family only needs two cans, and the rest of you two tribes each take three cans, how about it?"

Xiong Dahe also showed ecstasy on his face again, but he was obviously embarrassed: "Great chief, you are the leader this time, why do you want less than us?"

Li Hu was also anxious at the side: "The great chief..."

Mu Feng just waved his hands, and asked with a smile: "Our three departments are the Friends Department, helping you is also helping my Jiang family, so you just say whether you want it or not?"

When the two heard this, their expressions were excited, and they immediately knelt down on one knee and raised one hand: "Thank you, Great Chief!"

Xiong Da solemnly added: "In the future, as long as the chief needs what my Black Bear Department can do, my Black Bear Department will definitely do our best to complete it!"

Yeli then added: "The same goes for my wild wolf department!"

Mu Feng waved his hands and said with a smile: "You don't need to be so polite. As for bone knives and stone axes, I, Jiang, want half of them, and the rest of your two parts. How about it?"

How come Xiong Da and Yeli, who have each received forty and three jars of salt, refused to agree?

The two hurriedly nodded and agreed - anyway, their weapons are almost enough for everyone.

But Li Hu couldn't bear it anymore, and moved closer to Mu Feng: "Great Chief, our tribe has a lot of these bone knives and stone axes, it's useless to ask for them, why don't we ask for more people..."

"People?" Mu Feng smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, it's indispensable!"

"Inevitable?" Li Hu frowned secretly, and muttered in a low voice, "Everyone has been given to the Black Bear Department and the Wild Wolf Department, so there are still people there!"

After hearing this, Mu Feng just smiled, ignored him, and looked at Xiong Da and Ye Li again: "How many prisoners have been captured from yesterday to now, what are you going to do?"

"Ah, a prisoner?" Only then did the two of them react from the surprise, and their faces turned embarrassing.

There were more than 60 captives in total. They originally planned to discuss with Mu Feng how many they wanted, but they didn't expect that they defeated the Chijiao tribe all at once. The limit is reached.

In this way, these slaves have become a burden instead...
