Therefore, the Mother Temple allows anyone to come up to worship.

Therefore, the men, women, young and old who came to attend the meeting this time have been here at least once.

And a group of patriarchs and leaders came up with the little witch sisters every day.

The tribes originally brought gold and gems that should be used for exchange of pottery, but almost all were thrown into the wishing pool by a group of leaders.

Although it is indeed not valuable at the moment, these are really expensive.

Xu Chen lay on the edge of the pool made of ceramic bricks, reached out to take it out, colorful and brilliant. He searched for a few times and kicked a few of them into his pocket.

The little witch stood beside him, her eyes wide open and her face full of surprise.

At this moment, Xu Chen's performance always made her feel something was wrong.

Because she found that Xu Chen seemed to be siping saliva at the gems in this pond, as if he was in bad condition.

"These stones cannot be soaked in water for a long time, otherwise they will lose their luster!"

Facing the innocent and surprised eyes of the little witch, Xu Chen explained with a dry smile.

"Really?"

The little witch believed Xu Chen's words without doubt, and quickly changed her opinion in her heart, and was even very ashamed.

The Witch King knows everything, how can I doubt him?

"Of course it's true, you see, these amber, beeswax, lapis lazuli, turquoise...and these silver pieces..."

Xu Chen pointed to the stones of different colors in the pool in front of him and pointed out to the little witch.

"What should I do?" The little witch became nervous in an instant.

"If you have nothing to do, just ask someone to pick it up and find a place to put it alone. After soaking for a long time, it will not only not look good, but it will also pollute the pool!"

When Xu Chen was speaking, he took out a few handfuls of them one after another, picked out some of the gems that could not be soaked in water, and placed them on the edge of the brick and stone platform.

"Good!"

The little witch quickly lit her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

In front of outsiders, she is a noble witch and spiritual leader.

But in front of Xu Chen, she was a curious and childish girl full of desire to learn

Xu Chen was very satisfied with the little witch he trained.

Whether it is the Old Mother Festival in Spring or the Witch Lord Conference, the performance of the little witch is remarkable, at least in the presidency ceremony, which made both parties a complete success.

The witch is the current stable alliance and tribe of the Dinghai Shen Needle.

Even though he is very popular now, he is destined not to stay in the tribe and this small place for a long time, and someone needs to secure the base and the rear for him.

Because no matter where he goes, the Ba tribe and the Six tribes alliance are always the basis for his survival and development, and are irreplaceable.

As he conquered more and more tribes, various forces and situations became more and more complicated. The tribe surrendered more for the interests of both sides. Only the Ba tribe will always be his stable backing, and the six-parent alliance is still his most respected and loyal ally.

The Witch Lord Conference is over, and it’s time to set off.

Xu Chen felt a little excited and a little melancholy.

It’s good to be at home for a thousand days, but it’s hard to go out. In this extremely primitive and wilderness era, he couldn’t imagine any unpredictable situations outside. He even doubted whether he could come back after he went there.

In this era when there is no illness or treatment without food and clothing, even a small cold may die in the wilderness.

Then later generations left a written record of Mumhu Lake:

The Witch King was not halfway through his business, but the middle way collapsed, the gods abandoned the bald, the people were in a panic, the tribes were divorced, and the heavens were known in history as Tianshang, and the human race returned to eat raw meat and drink blood. It took another three thousand years before a saint came out.

Therefore, for the next period of time, Xu Chen did not focus on the development of the tribe, but began to prepare for his long journey.

At present, the development of the tribe has been completely on the right track. As long as it develops steadily, it will definitely be upgraded to a completely self-sufficient farming tribe in three to five years. It will not affect this process without him or not.

But what is a little worried is that the tribe lacks long-term planning talents. If he leaves for a long time, he may encounter some development difficulties. Therefore, Xu Chen spent two days to arrange these things.

First of all, the third phase of the compound can be started immediately.

The main purpose of the third phase project is not to live in people, but to store poultry and livestock. Therefore, the house yard can be built larger and simpler. You only need to use bricks and stone to build a huge yard, then arrange livestock and poultry such as stables, sheep pens, chicken coops, pig pens, etc., and then build some pergolas to store forage.

This project should be done before the beginning of spring.

In addition to the third phase of the courtyard, in order to cooperate with the pond's duck raising, Xu Chen planned to build a large circle of fence walls around the kiln factory and the pool to prevent wild animals such as snakes, weasels and foxes from entering to cause damage.

In addition, as the tribe raises more and more livestock-level animals such as horses, sheep, pigs, and donkeys, the population will become larger in the future. Whether it is grazing or feeding, it is necessary to have as large outdoor fields as possible.

Therefore, he placed all the open spaces around the courtyard except the farmland area into the ban area, hoping that the tribe could circle out large open spaces with fences and lock these animals in them for stocking on weekdays, which would save a lot of manual preparation of forage and feed. Anyway, they are all wild animals, as long as they don’t run away, it is not appropriate to keep them all in the room.

In order to ensure that a group of wild boars can grow up healthily, Xu Chen also specially found two men who were the best at slaughtering animals in the tribe and asked them to slaughter the balls of a few little boars. As for the difficulty of sterilization of sows, he had no way to teach them. Besides, there is no suitable sharp surgical instruments at the moment, so he can only give up.

After the eggs, the old man pigs will become very edible and lazy. Not only will it remove its wildness, but a lot of nutrients will be used to grow meat. In this way, the pigs raised will be fat and tender, which will be much more delicious than pure wild boar meat.

In order to prevent the wounds of several little boars that lost their balls, Xu Chen also specially applied hemostatic powder to their wounds.

Although I don’t understand what the meaning of Xu Chen’s special habit of Gadan is, the tribe’s tribe looked at Xu Chen for several days.

Especially Gu Ju and a group of guys, they usually look so stubborn that they are so clingy to the lake when they see him, but since they saw Xu Chen, they couldn't help but tremble and walk around, for fear that Xu Chen would be interested in it for a moment and would also get rid of their balls.

The women covered their mouths and ran over with a smile as soon as they saw him.

Xu Chen was very depressed.

A savage who has never seen the world is just a savage. In the later pig farms, rows of piglets and eggs are magnificent.

In addition to these things that must be planned and solved, there is also a long-term project, which is to build a dam from the front of the courtyard to the drainage ditches, and fence the entire courtyard. Of course, it is better to fill it together to form a raised open space. This not only can block the river water in summer, but also provide a larger drying site for a large amount of grain harvest in the future.

However, this project is very large and can only be used to slowly use your free time, which may take two or three years.

Regardless of whether the Ba people will relocate to Gonghuo Plain to develop in the future, the Ba people's ancestral residence will definitely not give up. After all, the copper mine of the Wu people is still here, and the Ba people need to stay and take care of it for a long time.

As the birthplace of the former mother god and the birthplace of the first temple, the Ba valley is of great significance, and Xu Chen himself will not give up easily.

Even if you realize the king's hegemony in the future, you can lead the great witch ministers to worship the former mother god, and turn it into a special sacrificial venue to gather more faith.

But these are all later stories.

Now he has done everything he should do, and the rest can only be calculated one step. Now he is still 108,000 miles away from the king's dominance.

After arranging these medium and short-term plans for the tribe, Xu Chen focused all his energy on the other three things.

First, with a small amount of lead ore, he decided to try to see if he could refine some lead. For this reason, he made a small crucible with the collected graphite and clay, and then mashed the two lead ore brought by the clutch and put them in with some loose copper ore and even copper particles. He asked several kiln workers to build a smelting furnace more than one meter high with mud brick clay, and started to refine it with a high fire.

In addition, he may encounter various injuries and insects and snakes when traveling far away. He has prepared a large amount of emergency and bleeding powder and a lot of medicinal materials, bandages, sheep intestinal sutures, bone needles and other necessary emergency medical reserves.

The third is the transformation of travel tools. The rafts used in practice were made in a hurry, and after nearly a month of tossing back and forth, they were almost broken. In order to make travel easier and safer, he needed to make a more sturdy and practical raft.

In addition to traditional rowing methods such as oars and oars, he also designed sails specially.

In fact, it is also very simple. It is to tie a mast more than three meters high with a tripod on the raft, sew a few small sails with some light skin, and then support it with a crossbar and then hang it on the wooden pole. The direction and position of the sail can be simply adjusted by fixing the ropes, front, back, left and right, so that you can advance with the help of wind power.

At present, the autumn and winter seasons are when the northwest wind is prevalent. Although it is very fast to go down the water, for safety, it often does not move forward in the core torrent for a long time, but will travel along the gentle river bank. If you want to enter some rivers and go upstream, the role of the sail will be more obvious.

Of course, it is more useful when returning. After spring, the southeast wind blows, you can use the sails to go upstream. As long as it is not a rapids and dangerous shoal, you can use the wind to move forward.

At present, men and women in the tribe have sufficient hands and reserve a lot of wood and animal skins. These are done quickly and can be completed in just seven or eight days.

After obtaining this new style of sailing raft, Feng took a large group of hunters and prisoners to practice every day at Dahekou, crossing the river back and forth every day. He could not only cross the river to hunt, but also familiar with the operation methods.

Xu Chen would go to cross the river every now and then to see the situation on the other side, and to be familiar with riding on rafts. He would even occasionally go down the river to follow a group of hunters to swim in autumn, and learn basic water survival skills such as falling into the water and saving himself.

He used to be able to swim, but he only knows how to do dogs. After becoming a savage, he becomes wilder and has stronger physical fitness. Even if he doesn't use a raft, he can swim to the other side in one breath. This makes him full of confidence in his wild survival skills and full of expectations for this long journey.

The recent harvest is more than that. He finally got the copper-lead alloy smelted by the kiln factory. After burning for seven or eight days, he began to melt. After removing the slag, he finally melted out a pottery spoon of alloy liquid and cast it into a dagger.

This dagger is slightly blue-brown and has a much higher hardness than pure copper. After polishing, it is easy to cut off branches as thick as eggs. However, due to the incorrect ratio of copper and lead or the nature of copper and lead alloy, this knife is easy to break. After only a few cuts, it collapses a gap the size of mung beans. It looks very brittle and is not suitable for large-scale smelting and forging.

However, this is a bronze ware in the true sense. Although it cannot compete with the bone knife and stone knife, it already has a certain lethality, which is far sharper and stronger than the pure copper knife.
