Chapter 549: Preparing to Attack the Giants
Su Nuan touched her nose and said, "I just heard about it, but I don't know the specific situation."
The news she got in Luancheng was hard to tell whether it was true or not, so she didn't dare to speak it out with certainty.
After all, this matter of life and death cannot be taken lightly.
Li Fengxing listened and nodded. "Places like ghost towns have more rumors than truth. We have to go and see for ourselves to be sure."
Ling Yun remained silent. He didn't express his opinion because he remembered what the space spirit said, that he couldn't doubt Su Nuan.
At this time, the chief had organized the team and was waiting for the order to set off.
Su Nuan looked at Ling Yun and asked, "Shall we leave now?"
Ling Yun nodded and said, "Once we reach the outskirts of the woods, we can arrange for them to eat something. Night is the best time for our attack."
Su Nuan agreed, "Too many people walking through the forest will definitely alert the enemy. We can have them form groups and slowly reach the ambush circle to avoid attracting the attention of the giants."
When Ling Yun heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
The chief came over, his tone serious, "The team is ready and can set off at any time."
Ling Yun nodded and glanced at the weapons in their hands. Most of them were stone spears and bone knives, and a few were holding hammers.
He pointed at the men holding clubs and asked, "Don't they have any other weapons?"
A trace of embarrassment crossed the chief's face. "We don't have many weapons."
Su Nuan was very confident in his medicine. Not to mention holding a hammer, even picking up a stone could kill an unconscious giant.
She said, "Let's go, they can be sentinels."
Ling Yun didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and led the tribesmen to the giant tribe.
The total population of the tribe reached more than 160 people. This time, more than 60 people were sent to attack the giant tribe, which was all the strong labor force.
Just as they reached the edge of the woods, Su Nuan saw two other tribes. They were not large in number, with only about thirty people each.
Su Nuan asked curiously, "Chief, did you notify them to come?"
The chief nodded and said, "Apart from my Flying Eagle tribe, theirs is the only tribe with the largest population in this area."
He raised his hand and pointed to the tribe on the left, "That's the Tianshui tribe, and that's the Heze tribe."
Su Nuan looked at the sky and saw that it was still early before dark, so she asked, "Can you tell them about growing crops?"
The chief's eyes flickered, and he smiled like an old fox. "Yes, I can talk to all the tribes in this area. What good will that do us?"
Su Nuan didn't hate his look of asking for favors. On the contrary, she quite liked it.
It is better to state your request openly than to make you guess, so that both parties will not be tired.
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "I can just teach you. I'll give you the seeds, and you'll be responsible for teaching them. Apart from the 50% I deserve, you can negotiate whatever you want."
The chief pursed his lips, feeling that the profit was not great, and his expression showed no anger but a hint of reluctance.
Su Nuan continued, "Look, even if you can negotiate for 10%, then adding your own contribution it will be 60%."
"If I find five tribes to plant the crops, wouldn't that make up for the 50% I'm going to take? That way, you won't lose anything at all."
The chief blinked, turned his back and secretly counted on his fingers.
When he turned around again, he was smiling. "Okay, okay, I'll go talk to them right away."
Su Nuan looked at the chief's back and almost got hurt from laughing so hard. She was the biggest beneficiary here because she only had to teach them one tribe.
In order to get more share, the chief will definitely promote the business vigorously. As long as you plant some seeds here, you can reap a lot of fruits.
Li Fengxing glanced at Su Nuan and gave him a thumbs up.
Ling Yun felt that he was at a disadvantage, because after all, he still had to produce the seeds. If he did it himself, all the profits would belong to Beidi.
When Su Nuan saw Ling Yun frowning, she knew that he was getting stuck in a rut.
"Xiaoyun."
Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan and tried hard to force a smile, but it felt like he was being forced to do so, which was quite funny.
Su Nuan looked at Ling Yun's forced smile and couldn't help laughing out loud.
She walked closer and whispered, "Xiaoyun, don't worry that we will suffer losses. In fact, we will benefit greatly."
Ling Yun's eyes were filled with confusion, and he whispered, "Why? I don't understand."
Su Nuan was a little surprised that he could actually ask directly about the doubts in his heart. If it were in the past, he would definitely keep it to himself and make blind guesses.
She was in a good mood and explained, "We only need to trouble you this time. The chief of the church is equivalent to the church farming this area."
“We save a lot of manpower, so we’re already making a profit.”
When Ling Yun heard Su Nuan say this, a look of understanding appeared on his face.
He was still a little unwilling, "I just think that if we do it ourselves, all the profits will go to the North, and we will have more food this way."
Su Nuan smiled and patiently explained, "Xiao Yun, you have to know that to get people to work for you willingly, you have to give up their interests. If we hold all the interests in our hands, will they still work for us?"
"Teaching them how to grow food and giving them weapons will not only solve their food, clothing and security problems, but also make them rely on and trust us."
"In this way, our position in the North will be more secure in their hearts."
She paused, then continued, "When they completely trust and rely on us, even the nobles of Rakshasa will not force them to surrender."
"This way, we'll have a lot more labor and can just sit back and reap the benefits. Why not do it?"
Ling Yun's brows gradually relaxed after hearing this. "I understand. I was just being too stubborn."
Li Fengxing listened to the conversation between the two people and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He said with emotion: "Nuannuan, your trick is really brilliant. Even though I have more business experience than you, I have learned a lot from you since I met you."
Su Nuan felt a little embarrassed. She didn't even know what she had taught Li Fengxing, but since he was giving her credit, she just had to accept it.
At this time, the chief came over with a satisfied smile on his face. "I have already talked to the chiefs of the Tianshui and Heze tribes. They all agree to grow food. Once this operation is over, we will begin to make arrangements."
Su Nuan was a little surprised that the deal was reached so quickly. She thought that the chiefs would only agree after she had fed them corn.
She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send you the seeds as soon as possible after we destroy the giant tribe."
The chief nodded, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he had already seen the tribe begin to grow.
Su Nuan looked at the chief's motivated appearance and felt a sense of pride in her heart.
It turns out that food is the foundation of human beings. As long as they have enough food and water, they can grow and develop.
Ling Yun looked at the setting sun and said, "Let's enter the ambush point now and start the attack as soon as the sun sets."
Su Nuan nodded, and suddenly her expression froze, "Oh no, I forgot something important."
