The next day, he woke up naturally, and Xu Chen and his group got up and ate, drank and urinated. Then they gathered with the witches of the Gonghuo tribe and a large group of tribe leaders and leaders, and began to inspect the construction situation near the Gonghuo tribe.

Today, the tribes of the Gonghuo tribe are no longer the traditional model of living in caves and eating raw meat and drinking blood a year ago. Instead, they have built many wooden houses and stilt houses near the valleys and the foot of the river bank, and the construction of brick and stone courtyards is also being accelerated. In addition, various tribes are also burning large areas of wasteland on the river beaches near the newly built houses and are cleaning up and digging drainage ditches.

The river beach is densely filled with large amounts of mud bricks waiting to be dried, and the foot of the mountain is full of piles of stones, mud, sand and wood.

A group of people surrounded Xu Chen like stars and moonlight. Every time they went, they would arouse warm cheers from men, women, young and old.

The patriarchs and leaders of each tribe enthusiastically led Xu Chen to inspect the houses being built and the wastelands that were reclaimed. A large group of hunters followed around, looking at Xu Chen who was guiding and planning among the crowd with respect, and his heart was full of pride.

This is their Witch King. No matter where he goes, he is so popular that no one can replace him.

Xu Chen was naturally very happy and excited about the construction of the Gonghuo Clan.

In particular, these tribes began to gather together to live spontaneously. The huge popularity made this once deserted river beach full of a prosperous and warm atmosphere.

During the inspection, Xu Chen asked about the development plans of each tribe in detail, and put forward a lot of guidance for future development and construction. These guidance often have a far-sighted vision, which made the patriarchs and leaders of all tribes feel the sudden illumination, and there was a sudden joy and excitement.

The population agglomeration effect provides a good foundation for future urbanization, so building and land reclamation is only the most basic plan.

He put forward higher requirements for the great witch of the Gonghuo clan, hoping that several tribes could unite and not work independently to develop themselves. Instead, they should plan and jointly develop this gathering area, gather the manpower and material resources of all tribes. While building their own tribes, they should include all house construction, grain field reclamation, irrigation ditches, drinking water projects, and riverside docks in the unified blueprint, and ultimately all tribes can benefit from it.

Therefore, after inspecting the construction of each tribe, Xu Chen rode a horse and took a few craftsmen back and forth to observe carefully within a three or four miles up and down the river, and then drew a simple town planning map.

In this picture, with the Gonghuo Clan as the core, the Thunder Clan and the Five Ghost Clan as the auxiliary, a road connecting east-west between the tribes was built between the tribes. A drinking water ditch was built along the road, which diverted living water from the streams in the valleys of the Thunder Clan and the Gonghuo Clan to the gathering places of all tribes. Each tribe can also use the ditches to dig ponds to store water according to its needs, which can not only meet daily water use, but also prevent fires.

In the vacant location where the inherited wooden platform was built, Xu Chen planned a special trading venue, built a row of wooden houses and simple thatched huts, and held small tribal trading activities regularly and monthly.

Ganshi is a township fair that has always existed from the feudal era to the high-tech era.

It is usually held once a month. Farmers from nearby towns and vendors traveling around the streets will bring their own agricultural products, agricultural tools, handicrafts, livestock, meat and poultry and other goods to the gathering for sale and transaction.

Although various trading varieties are still very scarce at present, with the further development of farming and breeding, the living standards of various tribes are gradually achievable, and some higher-level demands will gradually increase, such as pottery, linen, salt, fur, needlework, leather armor, bows and arrows, weapons, fishing nets, grain, even hunted beasts and breeding poultry, meat and eggs, etc., which will gradually become traded commodities.

With the abundance of food and clothing, the improvement of living environment, and the improvement of the level of living needs, Xu Chen will slowly break this primitive system of group marriage, first promoting some private items among the hunters who have made contributions. The emergence of private items will surely promote the transaction of more private items.

Professional trading venues also provide some help in the transaction of such private items.

In addition, the difference between towns and scattered tribes is that they do not focus on production and life, but mainly on handmade manufacturing and commercial transactions, gathering a group of handicraftsmen and commercial projects, and finally forming a trading node. While gathering nearby tribes to concentrate transactions, they also provide a more extensive and fixed place for interoperability.

At present, the items traded are limited, but the emergence of pottery, linen and salt will become the first important commercial resources to settle in. At the same time, some rich tribes can be mobilized to develop some simple caravans, and to various tribes move to purchase various excess resources, and finally gather here for transactions and accumulate them slowly. After a few years, a relatively prosperous trading town will surely be formed here.

This place will also become the starting point of the kingdom planned by Xu Chen. At that time, his royal palace and the Great Witch Temple will be built, and various tribal gatherings will be held regularly, casting and woodworking workshops, building the Great Witch School, and opening various facilities and institutions such as medical processing.

Therefore, the planning and construction of this town is very important.

This is also his ultimate goal of conquering and transporting population here.

Regarding Xu Chen's sudden idea of ​​building a trading venue, not only the old witch felt her eyes lit up, but her hands and feet were trembling with excitement, but the patriarchs and leaders of each tribe were also excited.

If Xu Chen’s plan is successful, this river beach will become extremely lively in the future.

The Cha and Ji tribes in the northwest, the Cang tribe, the Wu tribe, the Ba tribe, Hu tribe, Muya tribe, and the Yu Gong tribe on the other side of the river, the Jia tribe and the Wu ghost tribe in the southeast, the Kun tribe, the Qu tribe, and the Yehu tribe in the southwest, all tribes such as the Kun tribe, the Qu tribe, and the Yehuo tribe in the southwest, and the regular gathering here for transactions, which will be very popular here.

Xu Chen has a longer-term plan, which is to attract more tribal families to move to the Gonghuo Basin to live, gather more people on both sides of the Jicang River, open up more grain fields, and then put on a floating bridge on the Jicang River to completely connect the river beaches on both sides, without distinguishing each other.

This huge plan made a group of tribe leaders amazed, and the great witches of Gonghuo Clan's excitement almost fell to the ground.

She thought that Xu Chen's thoughts she understood were actually the tip of the iceberg, and Xu Chen's far-sighted vision was not something that she could understand and understand by a primitive witch who had just learned to recognize words.

What Xu Chen wanted was not just to occupy the arch fireland, but to completely develop it into a complex society where dozens of tribes live in mixed places, attracting all tribes to come and trade and develop.

Once this huge plan is successful, the prosperity here will be indescribable in ten or twenty years.

The old witch's simple thinking level can no longer describe that kind of lively scene in her mind.

On both sides of the river, there are grain fields everywhere. Near the foot of the mountain, the houses and courtyards of tribes live next to each other. In the river, fishing hunters travel on rafts, including animal skins, pottery, linen, wild animals, and salt. They gather from all directions every day.

As Xu Chen's plans spread, they attracted everyone's exciting discussions and cheers.

Men, women, young and old tribes couldn't wait to run to the open space where the inheritance ceremony was held, and began to imagine the lively scenes when all tribes came to gather and trade in the future. Many hunters gathered near the riverside docks, pointing at the two sides of the Ji Cang River, and began to imagine the speed and convenience brought by a wooden bridge across the two sides.

In order to implement these plans and construction, in the next day, Xu Chen convened the great witches, clan leaders and leaders of various tribes, as well as craftsmen who were proficient in construction, and began to discuss and arrange the construction plans for these plans, and at the same time led these people to conduct on-site surveys and guide them on how to carry out the preliminary projects as soon as possible.

The royal palace, temple, and bridge across the river are not the current plans. They can be slowly built after two or three years, but the construction projects of drinking and drainage ditches, ponds, roads and trading areas must be completed in a unified manner.

These projects can be left before the tribes start spring and then slowly carried out after spring sowing. Even if the rainy season comes in summer, some projects can be carried out slowly. As long as they are completed according to the plan, all these short-term projects can be completed before autumn next year. In this way, the area where several tribes gather will be completely connected to form a super-large tribe group with a population of more than 1,000.

Of course, this tribe group still lives independently, but there is almost no difference between it and a unified tribe in terms of communication.

After completing all the planning and guidance tasks, Xu Chen took time to visit the group of women, children, elderly and weak in the La tribe who had moved here as a whole.

For Xu Chen, the La people were so grateful that they were all over the place. The women burst into tears excitedly, pulling Xu Chen's clothes one after another, and using a few simple Ba languages ​​and gestures that they learned to express their gratitude to Xu Chen.

The men, women, young and old of the Thunder clan also said that they would treat the La tribe well and take good care of them as their tribe members. They also said that the food sent by Xu Chen helped a lot so that they could spend this winter safely.

When the Thunder Clan first moved in the spring, there were only more than fifty people, but now there are more than 30 newly joined La tribes. After conquering the Yu Gong clan last time, they obtained the distribution rights of more than ten women and more than ten men to participate in labor reform. The total population has now exceeded one hundred people and is developing very rapidly.

Although the large population consumes more food, clothing, housing and use, the construction speed is faster.

At present, the Thunder Clan's housing is no longer a circular stilt building built by Xu Chen, but a wooden house next to it. At the same time, kilns and bricks are being burned, and a larger adobe brick courtyard is being built. Once this courtyard is built, the Thunder Clan will also have very comfortable and spacious living conditions like the Ba people.
Chapter completed!
