Among the information Shaokang and Manniu learned, there are many small countries under the jurisdiction of the Dayu Kingdom.

Around the Dayu Kingdom, except for the west, there is no small country.

There are more than a dozen small national football teams in the east, south, and within a hundred miles.

Even further south, after crossing a big river, there are still many small countries to the south of the river.

The jurisdiction of the Dayu Kingdom over a small country that surrenders will gradually decrease as the distance increases.

The small countries within a 100-mile range are very strict in management, and these small countries have basically lost their independence.

The small countries in the southern part of the Yangtze River are also basically the same as those in the surrounding area for a hundred years because they are related to the source of salt.

For small countries in the north of Leize, such as Wang Mang Kingdom and Taixi Kingdom, the jurisdiction of the Dayu Kingdom is very small due to distance issues.

The control of the small countries around it and the small countries south of the Yangtze River is much more effective than that of these small countries north of Leize.

Small countries under the effective control of the Dayu Kingdom are also more developed than those in the northern part of Leize.

There are many small countries with a population of 5,000 or 6,000, and several of them have tens of thousands.

Based on this population distribution, if you estimate it, Ye Qing felt that the population around Lei Ze Land was more than one million, and perhaps two million were possible.

After doing this, he realized...

It turns out that I am the real country man.

It turns out that I have always been watching the sky from a well.

It turns out that I have always been away from the mainstream civilization of this era.

Ye Qing had to conquer his ambitions and after determining the tone of continuing to develop in a low-key manner, he considered how to absorb the population of the Dayu Kingdom.

With so many people, he was very envious.

However, after careful consideration, he found that he did not have such good teeth and could not eat them.

Dayu State has a complete management organization. Unlike small countries like Wang Mang Kingdom, they have very loose control over their affiliated tribes. Each tribe basically has autonomy and is in an independent state. They have the final say where they migrate, and no one comes to ask about it.

The Dayu Kingdom is different. In the city of Dayu Kingdom, there are so many full-time urban populations that require many small tribes to supply food.

Then, the stay and stay of these small tribes cannot be so casual, and they cannot make decisions on their stay and stay.

Therefore, it is not feasible to blatantly tempt and absorb these small tribes.

Doing so will cause conflicts.

Ye Qing is very satisfied with the current peaceful environment, and there is no need to trigger a war because of the matter of absorbing population.

This is not conducive to the development of the tribe.

Not feasible.

Unable to think of a way, Ye Qing temporarily put down the idea of ​​absorbing the population of Dayu.

He turned his eyes to small countries like Taixi Kingdom and Qingque Kingdom.

These small countries are basically in an independent state and have very loose management of their subordinate tribes.

Inserting the population of these small countries will basically not arouse any conflicts.

Even if some conflicts occur, Ye Qing is not afraid.

These contradictions are just small regional contradictions and will not cause widespread reactions.

Moreover, with the force of the Dragon Armor Army, even if conflicts and disputes occur, they can be easily resolved quickly.

The method of absorbing the population of these small countries is also very simple, and it is very effective to use temptation methods.

The productivity of these small countries is not as developed as the Dayu Kingdom. It is basically the same as the productivity state of the small tribes affiliated to the Fangfeng clan and Wang Mang Kingdom. It is still inadequate food and is often hungry.

The wind-proof tribe has food and clothing, and this attractiveness is enough.

Being able to fill your stomach and wear clothes is the ideal habitat for them.

...

Yao Yao and Lu are ready to leave.

Yaoyao found Ye Qing first.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he complained:

"There are so many customs in the windbreak style. I don't let you see this or that. I can't see all kinds of novel things in the windbreaker, which makes me feel very uncomfortable!"

Then he said happily:

"I heard from Shaokang that not only Fengfeng's cloth, silk, and soybean oil can be exchanged, but even boats can be exchanged, right!"

Ye Qing said: "Yes!"

The types of items that can be exchanged were explained to Shaokang in advance, so he naturally knew.

Seeing that Yao Yao was very happy, he was confused and asked:

"What exchange do you use?"

Yao Yao said happily:

"People!"

"I heard from Shaokang that what Fangfeng needs most is people, I have people!"

"But, how should I change it?"

Ye Qing was very surprised. He was racking his brains to absorb the population of the Dayu Kingdom. He came to his door by himself?

After asking in detail, Ye Qing was speechless.

It turned out that he was thinking it was a bad idea.

What Yao Yao said is that there are two sources of population that can be used for exchange.

The first one is a slave.

The founding of the Dayu Kingdom for three hundred years was naturally not as huge and prosperous as it is now. During the rise, many wars were fought.

There will naturally be prisoners when there is war.

These prisoners became slaves.

After so many years, these slaves have also reproduced more descendants.

From generation to generation, these slaves had long forgotten the hatred of their ancestors and completely regarded themselves as a member of the Dayu Kingdom.

These people are the source of those craftsmen in Dayu.

Although these people have personal freedom, they do not need to be closely monitored when working.

But these people still belong to the private property of the nobles of the Dayu Kingdom in terms of identity and have no right to decide their own destiny.

Yao Yao's family is a royal family, the largest noble in the Dayu Kingdom, and has the largest number of slaves.

Yao Yao complained very much about these slaves, and he said:

"These slaves have been born all the time, and there are more and more people. Even our royal family is about to be unable to support them."

"The land outside the city has its own owners. There is no place to reclaim paddy fields, and there is no way for these people to plant rice."

"We can only make pottery and process some wood and jade. However, we can't use so many pottery, wood and jade. Even if we can exchange it abroad, how many can we exchange it?"

"So, raising them, eating more and working less, is a waste of food!"

"It just so happens that the Fengfeng family needs people, so they can exchange it!"

In an era of insufficient productivity, the increase in population often becomes a burden.

Although the Dayu Kingdom has been extremely developed and prosperous compared to other countries and tribes, it still cannot fully play the role of the labor force.

These excess populations will not only not help, but will instead drag down development.

Ye Qing sighed, it seems that the Kingdom of Dayu cannot escape the laws of this era.
