Chapter 392 Offering Loyalty

Liu Jianan avoided the crowd and summoned Duan Haiping. As he was walking towards the banquet hall, he happened to hear the voices of the tribesmen of the Pixiu tribe talking.

He didn't expect that the Pixiu tribe was so stingy that they didn't even give the people meat soup to drink.

"These people were captured by you, it seems that they were favored by fate." Duan Haiping laughed, "This is the first time I have experienced the truth that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise."

Liu Jianan squeezed the man's palm and said, "I want to go over and talk to them. Do you want to come with me?"

Duan Haiping teased, "How dare I refuse the invitation of the God Killer?"

Liu Jianan smiled. There was no God Killer. It was just the product of the passive strike of the God Gonggong.

But he did not correct the way they addressed him.

It was better than calling him baby in front of so many people.

Liu Jianan walked forward, and the warriors guarding the captives immediately knelt down: "Greetings, Lord God Slayer."

Liu Jianan looked down, and saw that it was an acquaintance: "Yang Li? Get up quickly, it turns out that you are in charge of guarding these captives." Yang Li

stood up and nodded: "Why don't you go to the celebration banquet? Yang Yan is there too."

However, as the manager of the Bifang tribe, Yang Yan had little influence and could only sit in the corner reluctantly.

"The celebration banquet is held for the warriors. If I'm there, everyone will be uncomfortable." Liu Jianan replied.

Because of this, he, Bifang, and other auspicious beasts all tacitly chose to show up and leave.

This was a rare time to relax after the war, and he didn't have the heart to disturb the warriors.

Yang Li bowed his head: "Lord God Slayer cares about everyone, which is a blessing for the warriors."

"Okay, there's no need to talk about this between us," Liu Jianan patted his shoulder, "I'll come over to see the captives and say a few words to them."

Yang Li nodded, stood aside with interest, and guarded silently.

Duan Haiping said thoughtfully: "It seems that you have a high prestige in the four tribes. It can be seen that the warriors are very respectful to you. You are worthy of being the man that I, Duan Haiping, like. Commanding thousands of troops is no problem."

"Don't flatter me. Yang Li respects me so much because we have a personal relationship."

Liu Jianan rescued Yang Li and others from the hands of the Disaster Tribe. Since then, they have been respecting him.

In addition to the instigation of Bifang, the entire Bifang tribe worshipped him as a god.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is." Duan Haiping knew in his heart that the truth was far more than what Liu Jianan said so lightly.

But since Liu Jianan was unwilling to say more, he naturally followed his thoughts.

And he had to be more careful. He had to keep a close eye on such an excellent baby.

While talking, Liu Jianan had already come to the side of the captives.

The child who had just spoken was so scared that he shrunk his neck, like a quail.

His parents protected him behind them, staring at Liu Jianan with a fearful and fearless look.

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions." Liu Jianan spoke softly, and he seemed to be as harmless as he appeared.

But these captives had seen Liu Jianan killing people everywhere, like a killer god descended from the sky. Wherever he passed, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river.

"You, what are you going to do? Have you changed your mind and want to kill us?" One of the captives asked tremblingly.

Liu Jianan chuckled and said, "If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you long ago. Why keep you here until now? I also gave you meat soup to drink and meat scraps to eat. Isn't that a waste of good food?"

This was indeed a bit mean. With just a little bit of meat scraps and meat soup without much seasoning, he wouldn't drink it even if you begged him to!

But even such a tasteless meat soup was the supreme delicacy in the eyes of these captives.

It was hard to imagine what kind of life they had lived before.

Because of this, Liu Jianan planned to come in and recruit the tribes.

He not only wanted them to work for the tribe, but also to work willingly.

"Well, what do you want to do?" The captive said bitterly, "We are just a group of captives who are in danger of losing their lives every day. What else do you, a big man like you, want from us?"

"I want your loyalty."

Liu Jianan said straight to the point, "Give your loyalty and hard work, and I guarantee that you will have meat soup every day in the future, and even meat to eat."

As soon as these words came out, not only the captives, but also the guards couldn't believe it.

Yang Li even whispered to remind Liu Jianan: "They are slaves, and slaves don't deserve to enjoy meat."

Liu Jianan just smiled and said nothing, he had his own ideas.

The alliance of the four major tribes will eventually flatten the Guixi volcano, so how should these remaining tribes be dealt with?

Regardless of whether the four tribes choose to migrate or maintain the status quo, large tracts of habitable land will be left uninhabited.

The productivity of a tribe is limited. Even if slaves are added, it can only increase the original productivity. It is better to put the slaves into these ownerless tribes and continue to maintain the original work.

Liu Jianan initially thought of the household contract responsibility system, but that may be too advanced for the barbaric mainland.

If it really doesn't work, you can also adopt the landlord system or the tax system, requiring workers to hand over their labor income in proportion.

Among so many people, only Duan Haiping can understand Liu Jianan's idea.

He stroked the boy's hair and said, "It's a good idea, but how to formulate the system still needs to be slowly adjusted. After all, we won't stay here for a long time. The masters here are still the tribe and the alien beasts."

Liu Jianan nodded slightly. He would explain his ideas in detail to them.

"Anyway, you are here. If there are any omissions, you can fill them in for me." Unconsciously, his trust in Duan Haiping has reached this level.

Duan Haiping smiled slightly and said, "I am happy to share your worries."

At that time, the captives did not dare to believe what Liu Jianan said, and they talked about it privately.

It was the braver captive who stood up: "Lord God Slayer, are you telling the truth?"

Liu Jianan nodded slightly: "I will try my best to fulfill my promise. If everything comes true, are you willing to follow us?"

"I...I want to!"

"If I can eat my fill every time, I want to!"

"It doesn't matter whether I drink meat soup or not, I really don't want to be hungry anymore..."

Liu Jianan glanced at these excited captives. Their wish was so simple, just to have a full meal.

But under the rule of the Pixiu, a group of ferocious beasts, even such a simple wish could not be realized.

"I feel like I've caused myself trouble again," Liu Jianan said apologetically after returning to his residence, "Do you think they will agree to my suggestion?"

Duan Haiping took off Liu Jianan's shoes and put his feet in the basin to wash them. Hearing this, he comforted him, "They will agree. You are also thinking about the future of the tribe. They have no reason to refuse. The hatred between tribes is often a struggle between rulers. For the vast majority of tribesmen living in dire straits, they will be loyal to whoever can keep them well fed and clothed. They will listen to whoever can make them live and work in peace and contentment."

"What kind of faith is that? It's all bullshit. People are starving to death. It's useless to talk about anything."
