Mao's reaction was pretty much what Han Cheng had expected. There wasn't much joy in returning to his old job, but more of a conflicted silence.

Han Cheng could understand Mao's thoughts.

It was precisely because they traded salt and pottery that the people of their tribe were targeted by the Tengshe tribe, so that in the end, only a few of them were left in the tribe...

Even primitive people have emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Most of the people in the tribe were killed because of trade. Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that they would resist or even fear trade.

Han Cheng sighed inwardly, thinking that when it came to going out to do business, Mao, who had been leading people to do this kind of thing for several years, was indeed the best candidate.

The locations of those tribes that had traded with him were clearly remembered in his mind.

How to proceed, where is a dead end, where is the danger... These are all things he has accumulated step by step with the people in the tribe over the past few years.

These are very valuable assets.

If a new person were to take his place and have to figure all this out again, who knows how many more detours he would have to take and how many dangers he would encounter. It would not be surprising even if someone died as a result.

It is precisely because of this that Han Cheng chose to go ahead with this matter even though he knew that it might leave a shadow on the matter.

There is no way. Many things in the world cannot be perfect. All we can do is to choose the lesser of two options.

After a brief silence, Han Cheng reached out and patted Mao on the shoulder.

Now, according to the primitive people's calculation, he has become an adult and is taller than the average primitive man. When he pats people's shoulders, it will no longer look awkward as before.

"Don't worry, the tribe is very strong now."

Han Cheng said this, pointing at the tall wall and the many people inside the wall.

"The evil tribe cannot harm us anymore. Even if they come, we will defeat and kill them! We are from the same tribe and we will not allow outsiders to harm us!"

Han Cheng spoke to Mao slowly.

Because Mandarin is so profound and extensive, although Mao has been learning it, he is not very fluent. According to past experience, if he wants to reach the level of an old person, it will take at least another year.

There is some truth in the saying that you get up from where you fell.

Because if you don't 'get up from there', it will easily leave a psychological shadow, and in the days to come, you will be afraid of the same thing.

Having said that, people all understand the truth.

But when you really do this, it is difficult for outsiders to understand the feeling and what you have to endure.

However, compared to the others who "fell", Mao was still relatively lucky because he had a strong support by his side.

Han Cheng was not wrong at all. The tragic experience last year did leave a huge psychological shadow on Mao.

I have become reluctant to mention the transaction that I once loved so much, and even feel fear about it.

He was worried that if he went out to trade, he would run into the evil tribe again, and the evil tribe would follow him all the way back to his tribe, and his tribe would be...

He finally had a tribe again, and everything in the tribe was so pleasant that he didn't want to bring disaster to the tribe.

However, after he understood the words of the Son of God, his eyes gradually began to light up again, and his uneasy heart gradually calmed down and then became excited again.

The current tribe is no longer the small tribe he was in before.

The tribe now has high walls, bows and arrows that can shoot far, many warriors, and wise sons of gods and witches...

Even a powerful and evil Teng Snake tribe was no match for the tribe. They were badly defeated and the entire tribe was destroyed.

Living in this tribe, you can hold yourself up high and be a human being without fear of any evil tribe!

This sense of security and strong self-confidence were something that the previous tribe could not provide.

A light suddenly appeared in Mao's dull eyes.

"Don't worry about the evil tribes. Even if there are evil tribes, they are here to send slaves to our tribe."

Han Cheng continued to speak lightly, but his words were not light at all.

This can be seen from Mao's eyes which brightened a little more.

A successful leader must be someone who is good at using existing advantages to deceive and make big promises for his subordinates.

Han Cheng used to be just a person being led, but as he was led more often, he was able to learn some of the tricks commonly used by leaders.

Although the routine is a bit old, it is not old at all for primitive people and is surprisingly useful.

However, compared with those people in later generations who exaggerate even a little bit to make it look like a big deal, what he said was much more realistic and basically all true.

According to the current situation, the Qingque tribe does have the strength and confidence to confront strong enemies.

As a person in a tribe, if a dog in your tribe gets lost, you have to look for it for several days and feel sad for a while.

When the people of his tribe were bullied or attacked by other tribes, all he could do was to go back and get back at them. Turning those people into slaves of the Qingque tribe would be the least he could do.

"Son of God, I do!"

The simple-minded primitive people were much easier to fool than the old-fashioned people in later generations. Before Han Cheng finished his prepared remarks, Mao on this side had completely walked out of the shadows, clenched his fists and agreed aloud with great excitement.

In order to avoid being too excited and rushing out alone without asking anything, Han Cheng hesitated for a moment and still did not say the more powerful words that followed.

"Okay! I'm from the Qingque tribe!"

Han Cheng patted Mao's shoulder hard again, his voice full of praise, and gave Mao a thumbs up.

Not enough people? Want to find some more people to go with you?

It seems that you haven't been fooled by yourself and know how to consider practical issues.

After understanding what Mao meant, Han Cheng thought to himself and gave a definite answer readily.

It is necessary to expand the trading team, otherwise the remaining people from the original donkey tribe would not be enough.

Not only do they have to carry less things, but they are also likely to be attacked by ferocious beasts if they encounter them on the road.

And because of their small population, those tribes that trade with them are likely to look down on them.

Moreover, Han Cheng would not allow the trading team to be composed entirely of people from the original Donkey Tribe.

Even if the Donkey Tribe had not been attacked and all the original members had joined in, Han Cheng would still make changes to the trading team at this time.

At least half of the original donkey tribe’s people should be transferred out and replaced with old people from the Green Bird tribe.

This is not a distrust of the donkey tribe, but a precaution that must be taken.

Otherwise, if the people of the Donkey Tribe took the new weapons, salt and pottery and never came back, there would be no place to complain.

After all, extrovert people like them, unlike those who stay in the tribe, are more likely to have unnecessary thoughts.

Now that the people of the Donkey Tribe have suffered heavy casualties, it is only natural for Han Cheng to send more old men from the Green Bird Tribe to join in.

Although it may not be a good idea to think this way, and it may seem too inhumane, this is how things are in the world.

Han Cheng thought about this matter a lot last night and already had a candidate in mind for joining the trade team.
