Chapter 88

In mid-October, the farthest Cang tribe came slowly.

The Cang tribe is the farthest away from the Ba tribe, and it takes two days to come.

They had to stay at the Ji clan for a night first.

The appearances of the Cang tribe are slightly different, not only with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but also with a large figure, and the language communication accents are quite different.

The Cang tribe is said to be forced to migrate north from the lower reaches of the river, and then it became neighbors with the Ji tribe and the Muya tribe.

At that time, the Ji tribe and the Cang tribe had several battles, and each other was killed and injured.

Later, the Wu tribe came forward, and the Cang tribe had to admit defeat. After accepting the blessings of the great witch, it became a friendly tribe.

These are the information Xu Chen slowly understood when communicating with a group of primitive foreigners.

The Cang tribe has a large number of people. According to the explanation of a group of ignorant savages, it is about 200 people, second only to the Wu tribe.

This time they came in a scale of 30 people, and most of the goods they brought were various animal skins, and there were also some colorful ores. What surprised Xu Chen was that they actually brought a lot of gold nuggets, which totaled no less than 30 kilograms.

Holding these heavy gold, Xu Chen wanted to cry and laugh.

This game cannot be eaten or used, and it is really useless now.

Accept it, it's totally a loss-making business.

If you don’t accept it, you won’t be able to get over it.

After all, it is someone who has seen the world. Huang Chengcheng's gold is the real hard currency in the commercial society, and has been affecting human civilization for thousands of years.

Is there really a huge gold mine near the Cang tribe?

You should know that gold almost always exists in pure metal in nature. According to the current insights and tools of primitive people, the possibility of mining is almost zero, and it must be picked up on the river beach.

Therefore, while Xu Chen was amused and cried, he deliberately communicated more seriously.

Sure enough, with the explanation of the continuous paintings of the Cang tribe, he roughly figured out that there is indeed a river in which the Cang tribe lives.

Of course, it is not everywhere. It will be easier to pick up after the water is eroded in summer. This time, they specially brought some of the tribes to exchange pottery and linen for many years.

The exchange process is still heartbreaking.

Xu Chen did not participate in the whole process. Seeing that these Cang tribes came from afar, he did not deduct them too much. He specifically instructed the kiln workers to exchange them more pottery.

Like several other foreign tribes, the Cang tribe was extremely shocked by the changes in the Ba tribe. After visiting the mountain, they cried and howled for a long time before calming down. After changing the goods, they also asked to leave some people to participate in the construction of the Ba tribe before leaving, hoping to exchange for more pottery that the tribe urgently needed through labor, and said that they would come again until the beginning of spring, and exchange for more linen.

Although the number of people in construction is enough, Xu Chen did not reject the Cang clan's request and left eight people behind.

In this way, the Ba people have obtained a total of 39 foreign workers, and they are all young and strong men. In addition to the Ba people's own people, the construction team has expanded to a scale of nearly 50 people.

With the addition of the Cang tribe, the construction speed of the mansion has been significantly accelerated.

Cutting wood, picking stones, digging mud bricks, digging soil and mud, and building walls, all projects have entered a period of massive construction in full swing.

Of course, as the number of people continues to increase, the consumption of food is also increasing significantly.

In order to catch more meat, Feng led a group of hunters and had to divide them into two groups, one group of four people hunting and the other group of two people fishing.

In addition, in order to supplement plant-based food, Gu Heju and his wife no longer participated in the construction of houses, but instead went to dig yam on the mountain.

The kiln factory can no longer live in so many people, so Xu Chen simply spent two days relying on the kiln factory walls to temporarily build a row of simple wooden sheds with cut wood, and simply cover it with thatch as a temporary residence.

For environmental sanitation, he also dug an open-air toilet outside the kiln factory to prevent these savages from going out everywhere.

As more and more people work, the pressure of eating, drinking, defecation and urination is getting greater and greater. The number of women cooking in the kiln factory has increased to six, but it still seems to be stretched. My mother wants to take a group of women up and down the mountain to solve the logistics.

As more and more people are coming, the walls of the construction site are getting higher and higher, and there are more mud bricks on the river beach. As we are busy all day, the mountain becomes more and more lively and noisy, gradually feeling like a downtown city.

And this kind of excitement has completely broken the lonely and peaceful life of the Ba people, and has unknowingly affected everyone.

The six tribes that rarely interact with each other became harmonious because of this unique employment relationship. In the spare time of labor, these men not only chat and brag every day, but also held some power and force games, wrestling, throwing guns, and wrestling. In order to enrich the lives of these hired workers, Xu Chen also made several straw man archery targets on the river beach to teach them to learn archery.

Although he did not teach making bows and arrows at the Wuzhu Conference, the structure of this thing is simple, and after reading it, you can basically understand what is going on. However, to make bows and arrows with strong enough power, you still need to carefully experiment and ponder.

Therefore, Xu Chen did not intend to hide the bow and arrow.

I just don’t want other tribes to get such a big advantage for nothing.

Now, maybe in other tribes, they have begun to try to make bows and arrows. Even if they cannot reach the level of the Ba tribe for the time being, they may slowly find the trick after half a year.

The friendly people who teach these tribes to communicate with each other are also accumulating popularity for the Ba people.

...

At the end of October, the fire belt of a large wasteland that Xu Chen confiscated was basically completed.

Then I chose a clear weather and started setting fire to the wilderness.

On this day, all construction work was stopped, and dozens of people were divided into groups, surrounded this large area of ​​wasteland in a scattered manner, and they all had simple fire-fighting tools, which were broom-like things tied with green branches.

After everyone was in place, Xu Chen issued an order to ignite seven or eight ignition points from the inside to the outside.

The sky is dry, the plants and trees are dry, and the river wind is howling. After the ignition, the flames instantly rise into the sky at seven or eight ignition points. The wind helps the fire. In just a few minutes, the flames surged into the sky and the rolling smoke rushed straight into the sky.

Rabbits, badgers, porcupines, foxes, rats, squirrels, all kinds of wild birds, all the small animals living in this wasteland were frightened, and they flew around everywhere. The wild people around them were holding bows, arrows, spears, sticks and shouting and chasing them everywhere.

Moba and his tribe came out in full bloom and all came to the foot of the mountain to watch this unprecedented activity.

A group of children cheered by the river beach, and the older ones were chasing the escaped hares and beasts with toy bows and arrows. The entire river valley was filled with joy.

Xu Chen has explained to a group of tribe members the purpose of burning wasteland, which is to specifically sow seeds on this wasteland and concentrate on planting grain crops that can be collected in a purposeful manner.

Although Mo Ba didn't understand why Xu Chen had to do this, she did not object, but was just a little confused.

Men won't interfere in this kind of thing.

Because men are hardly involved in collecting plants and planting fruits, they are only responsible for hunting and maintaining the safety of the tribe.

The valley at the foot of the mountain is quite large, and the large areas of these undulating low mounds on both sides of the river are filled with these undulating low mounds. Even if you don’t sow seeds, you will grow oats and wild beans in spring. You can harvest a lot in autumn. Can you grow better by sowing seeds?

Other women are roughly the same as Moba’s ideas, and they will naturally discuss and communicate in private, but Xu Chen’s magic has proved his unique ability. Therefore, they will only silently support everything Xu Chen does, and never think about stopping it.
