The lively Mother's Day sacrificial meeting came to a successful conclusion.
The efforts of the Ba people are completely proportional to their gains.
The statue of his late mother created by Xu Chen shocked all ethnic groups and successfully completed another great god-making movement after the witchcraft operation, bringing unparalleled prestige to the Ba people.
The little witch's outstanding performance on Mother's Day also brought her great prestige. Both the Six Tribes Alliance and the Gonghuo Tribe Alliance completely surrendered to the spiritual guidance of the little witch and believed that this sacrificial activity was very important.
Successful, everyone feels the care and protection of the Mother Goddess.
In addition, Xu Chen gave out a bunch of useless pottery on credit and received the gratitude of all the tribes. They all expressed that they would work hard to unite around the Ba tribe in the future, follow the guidance and call of the great witch, work hard for the alliance's friendship and peaceful coexistence, and promised that they would
Send the money to buy the pottery on credit as soon as possible.
For all the pottery purchased by the tribe on credit, Xu Chen arranged for Ye to register and write the credit purchase contract with animal skins. Then the tribe chiefs pressed their fingerprints, and the little witch sister and the great witch of the Gonghuo tribe, as the supervisors of the two tribal alliances, also stamped their seals respectively.
He got his own bright red witch seal.
These animal skin contracts will be kept in the hands of the great shaman of the Ba tribe. After the transaction is completed, these contracts will be returned to the tribe to which they belong.
Although Xu Chen did not intend to strictly implement these contracts, and did not make any punitive measures for breach of contract, he could use the deterrence of the gods to drive these tribes to work hard to complete the transactions, expand their territories, and interact with strangers.
Communicate with foreign tribes to find out more information that is useful to him.
As the leader of the Gonghuo Clan Alliance, the Gonghuo Clan gained very little this time and only got a few pottery on credit, because they had to use a large amount of their belongings to redeem their own clansmen, and they would also have to redeem the rest in the future.
The tribesmen do not have the extra ability to complete credit transactions.
This time they used the animal skins and various gemstones and property they brought to redeem more than a dozen hunters. There were only about forty prisoners left in the Ba tribe, which was almost half the number from the peak at the beginning.
However, with the arrival of the summer rainy season, various construction projects will be suspended. The Ba people no longer need too many captives, and keeping them will only be a waste of food.
In addition, the population size of the Ba people is also growing. This time they recruited twenty young and strong men through Mother's Day. With the addition of this new force, the overall strength of the Ba people has nearly doubled.
These twenty people are not the old, weak, sick and disabled people from the Uzbek tribe before, nor are they the ordinary adult men from the Ba tribe before. They are all men aged sixteen or seventeen who have just grown up. They are full of energy and energy.
At that age, they are a group of violent young people who can fight like a tiger or a dragon.
However, no matter how vigorous they are, the Ba people are not a place where they can just save money.
Not only is there a big witch guarding it, but also the mysterious witch king Xu Chen rules. There is also a group of veteran officers such as Feng who have just been beaten on the butt and joined in. Now they are all very submissive with sullen eyebrows. No one is there.
Dare to provoke these three mountains of the Ba tribe.
Although Feng is not the strongest and most powerful among all the tribal hunter leaders, he is the most popular among the six tribes alliance. Even a warrior like Long from the Wu tribe must greet him with a polite fist when they see him.
Lieutenant.
Because Feng is the only officer among the six tribes with the rank of lieutenant.
According to military discipline, subordinates must salute respectfully when meeting their superiors, and must accept control and command during military operations.
The twenty newly joined young hunters were directly organized into a separate training unit. They were led by Gao, who won the title of Warrior at the last witchcraft conference. They had two groups under their jurisdiction and trained bows, arrows and spears together.
Also practice riding skills.
More than ten war horses have now been enlisted. The Ba tribe has officially established the first light cavalry team in mankind, and its main force is a group of hunters who are familiar with bows and arrows led by Feng.
This light cavalry will continue to develop in the next few years. According to Xu Chen's plan, the cavalry must expand to at least fifty people before it can form a truly powerful team.
Of course, the more cavalry the better, but men are easier to handle than horses.
Therefore, he felt that it was necessary to respond to Long's request and get rid of several groups of wild horses in the river basin as soon as possible.
Those groups of wild horses totaled hundreds of horses, and the horses were of the same breed as the wild horses of the Ba tribe. If they could be captured, they would be domesticated very quickly.
Therefore, after Mother's Day, Xu Chen arranged for Feng and others to carefully observe the activity time and trajectory of these groups of wild horses while hunting on horseback. At the same time, he strengthened contact with the Wu tribe and asked Long to also monitor the wild horses within the Wu tribe.
Strengthen monitoring to obtain more useful information.
Of course, to round up those wild horses requires more powerful riding skills and superb horse roping skills, and the Ba cavalry also need to practice more.
After summer comes the continuous rainy season, which is not suitable for hunting.
So Xu Chen planned to wait until autumn to do this.
Irrigation ditch work restarts.
The dam, fish ponds and ditches at the entrance of Yelang Valley are once again under construction.
However, after entering late March, heavy rains gradually increased and the construction work was intermittent.
However, due to sufficient manpower, the project is still progressing and improving.
After several heavy rains, the water in the creek swelled greatly, and the river beach where they used to train was submerged. Groups of waterbirds began to play in the water with their hatched chicks looking for food.
Xu Chen led a few people on several bird-catching operations on the river beach, and the harvest was pretty good. They caught more than a dozen wild ducks and a wild goose.
This wild goose was a newly hatched chick. Xu Chen carried out a precise hunt after observing it for several days. Even the wild goose and seven or eight babies were caught in one catch, and he harvested the first family bucket in the history of bird hunting.
The wild goose is the ancestor of the goose. It is much larger than the wild duck, and of course its attack power is also very powerful. In order to catch the wild goose from the bird net, several of the captives who helped were caught in the big flat beak and screamed strangely.
In order to accommodate this nest of wild geese, Xu Chen had to clear out the duck house and raise geese.
As for a large group of ducks, it is impossible to raise them in the yard. Last year, two broods of more than ten ducklings were hatched. This year, they have reached the age of laying eggs. Together with a few old ducks, two more broods of ducklings were hatched. This time, ten more ducklings were captured.
There are many wild ducks, and the duck flock has expanded to more than fifty, becoming a huge poultry tribe.
In order to house this group of ducks, Xu Chen could only build a new duck house in the kiln, right next to the excavated fish pond. When the fish pond is completed, these wild ducks will have a large enough activity place, which will reduce the cost of artificial feeding.
and pressure, and can keep the yard clean and hygienic.
Now the tribe receives more than ten duck eggs every day, which can basically provide nutritional support for pregnant women and infants.
In addition to wild ducks and geese, the two large pheasants captured last year also started laying eggs and hatching eggs. Although they only hatched four eggs, the number of eggs laid by chickens and hatched by chickens will definitely double next year.
As a result, the three main poultry species, chickens, ducks and geese, have been assembled.
The poultry farming plan he had planned for more than a year began to enter a stage of large-scale expansion.
When the fish pond is repaired and a few more pigs and a group of cattle and sheep are raised, the agricultural cooperative will be officially complete. Basically, it will be a self-sufficient agricultural cooperative.
In fact, so far, his transformation of the Ba people has basically been completed.
The remaining mid- to long-term plans basically have nothing to do with the Ba people.
The next task will be extended to all conquered tribes.
First, with the Six Nationalities Alliance as the core, vigorously promote cooperation related to survival and security such as housing, farming, weaving, and joint military training, and strive to unite the six nationalities into a complete agricultural and security alliance within three to five years.
Military groups, collaborative development and command.
Second, use the Gonghuo Alliance as a bridge to continue exploring the lower reaches of the river. Using the Lei Clan as a fulcrum, build a small market town focusing on trading in the Gonghuo Plain, and vigorously promote the development of housing and farming, slowly transforming the Gonghuo Plain.
The basin developed.
Third, strive to find salt and ore materials for smelting bronze. Coal and iron ore are also the first choices, and strive to complete the transition from the Stone Age to the Metal Age for the tribe within three to five years.
Fourth, vigorously develop advanced means of transportation such as war horses, rafts and even boats, strengthen the exchanges and connections between tribes, and wait for opportunities to conquer more tribes in the river basin and gather more people. Within five years, we hope to control
The population exceeds 10,000.
The above are all medium-term plans for the next three to five years.
As for the long-term, he only has one goal now, which is to establish a kingdom with a population of 100,000 and bring mankind from the Stone Age, where hair and blood were eaten, into a feudal dynasty.
Build schools, promote writing, develop medical care...
Based on the alliance tribes, develop a number of rural towns with considerable agricultural civilization foundation, complete your own king's hegemony, and achieve the great dream that a time traveler should have.
