The young clan leader also knew about Haitang's movements, so he naturally followed suit. "You mean you're growing your own seeds and raising them? Isn't that very troublesome?" Yes, growing and raising them yourself is very troublesome.
"Why would you find it troublesome? When you go hunting, sometimes you don't even find any prey even if you go out together. Moreover, wild prey needs all sorts of harsh conditions to survive and grow. A sow may give birth to seven or eight piglets, but only two or three will survive. In this case, there are only two or three prey. If... you raise them yourself, then it's a different story."
“Moreover, the prey you raise can be killed and eaten when there is no food, which will not interfere with your hunting outside. Raising them only requires the females and people at home to take care of them.” Haitang said directly, “As for planting... you think that it’s enough to just eat meat, but the problem is that if a person’s nutrition is unbalanced, it is easy to have problems.”
Upon hearing this, Chief Xiang couldn't help but frown. "What is your Tiger Clan doing?"
"Does your tiger tribe also raise livestock?" He couldn't help but frown as he looked at Haitang. Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded.
"Yes, so during those three years of natural disasters, we survived by raising animals. We humans can always eat more and faster than the wild animals that come out. If we don't raise our own animals, we will eventually hunt all the wild animals out there. When there are no more animals, we will have to go to other places to find other territory. This is a cycle that will never make the tribe strong. Only raising animals and planting can provide a way out."
Haitang explained the benefits of raising livestock to Chief Xiang Shao, listing all the advantages. Upon hearing this, Chief Xiang Shao pursed his lips and said, "The problem is that some of our previous attempts at raising livestock resulted in them dying very easily, and their excrement is extremely smelly..."
“This thing, you just need to clean it up every day. If you orcs think this kind of thing is too lowly, you can buy slaves and have them do it. Of course, if you want your slaves to work obediently, you can’t just treat them with beatings and humiliation.” Haitang said, “If you don’t treat your slaves as human beings, they can’t have a sense of belonging.”
"A sense of belonging? What kind of sense of belonging do we want to give slaves? They're nothing but lowly things." The young clan leader spoke up as he looked at Haitang. Haitang glanced at the young clan leader.
Chief Xiang frowned, but Haitang spoke up, “Yes, there is a problem… Sometimes, the food and drink you eat and drink are prepared for you by slaves. Slaves may harbor resentment towards you and spit foam in the water or add something to it, and you will have no way of knowing. Even the softest prey has its own fangs; rabbits can bite.”
"For example, let me tell you something. Many slaves won't help their masters when they're in danger. They'll just stand by and watch their masters die, then wait for the next master to come. But if you treat your slaves well, they will be grateful under certain circumstances, even willing to risk their lives to thank you. That's how it is in our Tiger Clan. Do you think our Tiger Clan only has a few beastmen? How can we defend against the surrounding wolves? It's our slaves. They know they can live well in the Tiger Clan. If they were captured and enslaved by others, they would only suffer a fate worse than death. The only way to protect the Tiger Clan is to protect themselves. That's why they would risk their lives for the Tiger Clan." Haitang looked at the young chieftain.
Haitang knew that Chief Xiang was a smart man. When Chief Xiang heard this, he thought, "Humans are nothing but..." nothing but ants, but he quickly thought of the Tiger Clan and Yueyue's affairs.
"Are you saying that humans are utterly insignificant? No... Yueyue... you saw it too. When he doesn't transform into a beastman, he's almost indistinguishable from a human, yet he can still use his skills to kill many people. Like the young clan leader... you should know about the human rebellion. You look down on humans, but haven't many of you still been killed by the human rebellion? Beastmen... are naturally gifted, but humans also have their own advantages." Haitang said, looking at the young clan leader.
The young clan leader looked at Haitang in this situation. He was thinking about something alone at night. Was Haitang's words true or false? He couldn't tell for a moment, but he quickly thought of his freshman year.
On many occasions, he witnessed that whenever Haitang was in danger, Da Yi would immediately step in to protect her. This kind of protection was not the kind he would show to his master; he himself also had a beast slave.
Those beast slaves would come forward upon hearing his command, but... he couldn't forget that when he was ambushed that time, the beast slave chose to stand by and do nothing, even though he later killed the beast slave...
Thinking of Haitang's words, "If you make a slave feel that following you is the best thing for him, he will protect you at all costs." If he had been kinder to the beast slave back then, would the other party have helped him and he wouldn't have almost died?
He felt ashamed for having such thoughts about this matter, that he actually had to rely on beast slaves to save him, and that he actually had such thoughts, but he quickly remembered what Haitang had said.
Chief Xiang Shao wasn't stupid; Haitang was right. This thought was spreading. Had he done something wrong? The next day, he looked at the beast slaves working not far away. Every one of them had fear and blindness on their faces, and even more of them were human.
When Chief Xiang saw those people, he couldn't help but frown. Some of the females were whipping the slaves, and some of the orcs were kicking them.
