Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

It is not only to preserve roots and ensure the survival of the tribe, but also to protect the safety of the tribe.

A tribe without enough young and strong people is just a piece of fat meat in the desert.

Plus the elderly, children, and most women.

This gives us a rough estimate: the number of desert dwellers in the desert is about a hundred times that of the Gilded Brigade in Xumi City.

This is even taking into account the fact that desert people rarely live to old age.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of people, close to a million.

If we eat up all these people and successfully convert them into productive forces...

Wang Que didn't even dare to imagine how wonderful his future life would be.

Cassia naturally didn't know what Wang Que was thinking. After he took the map, he began to mark on it.

Soon, dozens of small oases that were not even on the map were circled out.

"We small tribes survive by chasing water sources. The terrain in the desert is constantly changing due to the constant wind and sand, but we have the ability to chase water sources."

"Every once in a while, some water sources disappear and others appear."

"These places are relatively stable water sources."

Cassia said.

As he spoke, a hint of bitterness appeared in his eyes.

The previous bombardment from the floating city almost destroyed half of their water supply.

This is also why he was willing to surrender.

Otherwise, if the floating city fires another shot, it won’t hit them on the head, but will directly destroy the water source, and their entire tribe will die of thirst.

Wang Que took the map, glanced at it, and nodded slightly.

With these coordinates, he will be able to quickly deal with all the tribes that support the Legacy of the God-King.

By then, the people of the God-King's legacy will definitely be unable to sit still. I will wait for them to come find me, and then I will take care of them.

Get rid of these criminal brigades that believe in the Red King.

After getting rid of the Tanit tribes that believed in the flower god, the only ones left in the desert were the tribes that had lost their faith in order to survive.

These people will be Wang Que's real targets for winning over.

Include the map in the database of the intelligent brain.

Wang Que waved his hand and sent Cassia out to arrange for his tribesmen.

At the same time he left the tent.

Come outside.

The cries of the Cassia tribe have died down.

Most people had blank looks on their faces.

In a short period of time, they became 'slaves'.

It’s normal to not be able to react immediately.

But still no one chose to resist, and the floating weapon platform hovering next to the Money Chamber of Commerce staff did not have a chance to attack.

I saw Wang Que and the new Cassia coming out of the tent.

Many people cast their eyes over.

The tribesmen breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the new Cassia did not seem to have been beaten or scolded.

Their new master did not seem to be a violent person.

"Boss, we've counted the numbers. There are 576 adult males here, only 12 of whom are over 50 years old. There are 693 adult females, 120 of whom are over 50 years old."

The male-female ratio is not much different.

But the ratio of men to women over fifty is huge.

This is probably because men have a higher death rate in battle.

This is normal. Considering the number of women killed in battle, this ratio is not even high. The gap of one hundred people shows that there are still many female gilded brigades who have the problem of being killed in battle.

"In addition, there were 220 children, including 36 incapable infants."

After the clerk finished his report, he handed the statistical data to Wang Que.

Wang Que didn't answer, but nodded: "That's more than I thought."

He did not ask if there were any casualties from the previous shelling.

As long as they are not dead, the guys will definitely rescue them.

As for the dead... there's no point in asking.

He had previously thought that there were only 1,800 people, but now he heard that there were nearly 1,500 people.

This is still a small tribe.

If we replace a large tribe like Tanit, there would probably be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

Judging from the age ratio of Cassia’s population, these people are probably top-grade cattle and horses.

He is the kind of young person who can work overtime without feeling tired.

"Well, I'll get some coffee from the rainforest later. Do these people buy their own coffee when they work?"

An idea suddenly emerged in Wang Que's mind.

Then he shook his head vigorously, thinking that he was used to being treated like an ox or a horse before crossing over, and he imposed his habits on the desert people.

Chapter 356: Xingqiu's Unity of Knowledge and Action

"Let those young and strong men get moving and rebuild the camp."

"Children...if they are strong enough, let them help adults with work."

"Those who are still unable to take action should be put under unified management and a few women should be assigned to supervise them."

"Let them all move, don't sit idle."

Wang Que said to the waiter.

Leaving people idle is a very dangerous thing.

Especially these desert people had just been stunned and became slaves before they could react.

If you don't keep them busy, they'll start overthinking.

Although it is very inhumane.

But fatigue was indeed a good way to keep the prisoner-of-war camps trouble-free.

"It's already being arranged, Boss. How much rations should we give them?" the waiter asked again.

"Just don't starve to death." Wang Que said coldly, and after a slight pause, "Don't let the children starve. If there are pregnant or breastfeeding women, give them more nutrition."

It’s not that the king lacks kindness.

But children and pregnant women are considered the tribe's lifeline.

Most adults will not resist as long as they see that children and pregnant women are not being abused.

Similarly, if they see children and pregnant women not having enough to eat, they will think that the Liyue people are going to exterminate them.

Then, violent resistance is the only way.

Therefore, as long as the adults don't starve to death, it's fine. Tiring out the people is a very old method, but it's very useful.

With a little hope from the children and pregnant women, it would be easy to control the tribe.

"Okay, boss."

The guy nodded and went to make arrangements.

Soon, several large pots were set up and the aroma of grain began to waft around.

The previously dead atmosphere seemed to come alive.

Desert people are like this. As long as they have something to eat and hope to survive, they will accept it.

Watching the atmosphere in the camp begin to turn around.

Xingqiu came to Wang Que's side.

He just followed the guys from the Money Chamber of Commerce to count the number of people here.

Of course, I also saw a lot of things that I couldn’t see in Liyue.

"How will you deal with them?" Xingqiu asked.

This was not the first time he asked a similar question. Previously, Wang Que only gave a general answer and never gave a clear answer.

"Adults who cannot accept ideological transformation will be thrown into repetitive mechanical labor and bloody battles."

“Those who can accept our ideas will be selected to become the basic managers.”

"Women who are not capable of fighting will take up some handicraft jobs."

“The children will be educated by us.”

"Everyone will use their labor to exchange for the materials to survive."

Wang Que answered carefully.

"Until this place is completely transformed, and a civilized spirit grows out of its barbaric bodies, they will no longer be slaves, but real people."

It was indeed never his intention to enslave the desert people.

What he wants is change.

Transform these people who have little productivity into people who have productivity.

This is in his best interest as a businessman.

To put it bluntly, merchants fear more than anyone else that people will not be able to afford their goods.

Sustainable exhaustion of resources can certainly reap profits, but it is too short-sighted.

In the world before the time travel, there were many cases of sustainable exhaustion of resources.

But most of them are not for simple monetary interests, the game between countries accounts for more.

But Wang Que doesn't need to consider these.

Although he stands on Liyue's side, he is not worried about Xumi's rise.

Therefore, he is willing to let the desert people stand up and unleash the productivity that belongs to them.

Of course...it sounds nice.

But Wang Que will not give up his interests.

If we ask these people to redeem themselves, then we really redeem them.

It will take the next generation for them to develop civilized souls.

This generation of desert people all have to make money for Boss Wang.

Xingqiu nodded slightly: "Sounds good."

"Haha, that's what I heard. Changing their lifestyle will inevitably lead to bloodshed."

Wang Que laughed.

To be frank, if Xingqiu wasn't here, I wouldn't want him to see any more bad things.

Wang Que had already begun his real conquest.

The previous shot would not have landed outside the Cassia tribe.

Xingqiu is a good man and a friend, and Wang Que is willing to take his feelings into consideration.

Anyway, the final outcome will not change.

"bleed…"
