The completion of the wooden house and fire pit made the native savages completely crazy, as did several Yugong guides and all the Mongolian hunters.
They had never been exposed to such exquisite and complex man-made structures.
With this kind of wooden house, not to mention these indigenous savages, even large tribes like them with the guidance of witches can get rid of the shackles of caves and start settling anywhere.
So after the completion of these wooden houses, the entire valley where the indigenous savages lived completely turned into a joyful scene of howling ghosts and howling wolves. A large group of people lay on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Chen and the wooden houses, expressing their excitement, gratitude and admiration.
.
However, the actions of these tribes were completely insignificant to the Ba tribe and a group of captured troops from the Gonghuo tribe.
Only these country bumpkin barbarians who have never seen the world can be so excited.
A few years ago, the Ba people had already lived in more spacious and solid brick and stone courtyards.
And these guys were still sleeping in holes in the ground yesterday, and they were no different from snakes and rats.
Contempt, this is naked contempt.
And the chain of contempt is very clear.
Ba tribe—>Captive Corps—>Yugong tribe—>Mongolian—>Indigenous people.
Improving the habitation of indigenous tribes is only preparing for salt production.
Because the salt collected in the future must be protected from rain, it is crucial to build a house without water isolation measures.
As the wooden house was repaired, the salt drying field was also completed at about the same time.
After all, it was just a matter of digging three small pits and a simple drainage canal according to local conditions, and it took dozens of people less than five days.
Most of the time, Xu Chen spent time guiding back and forth between the drying field and the wooden house. The two were completed only one day apart.
In order to teach the native savages and Mongolian people a complete set of salt-making processes, Xu Chen personally demonstrated the entire process from collecting salt mines to washing and sedimentation.
Although they didn't understand why Xu Chen washed the salty sand and stones with water and put them into the pool, they quickly learned the steps that Xu Chen repeatedly reminded.
Because of the short time, Xu Chen could not wait for the first batch of salt water to evaporate and precipitate the salt.
However, he still filled a clay pot with salt water and boiled it over the fire. After constantly boiling it dry and adding salt water, and then boiling it dry and adding salt water, he still produced half a pound of white salt grains in two days.
These are real table salts. Although there are still a small amount of sediment impurities in them, there is no problem in eating them.
It's rare. This is the first time humans have used artificial methods to produce table salt.
Xu Chen was very moved, and carefully wrapped the salt in linen cloth, and then put it into a small clay pot for storage.
During the past few days of excavation and construction of salt drying fields, Xu Chen discovered a lot of relatively pure rock salt crystals, similar to the translucent large salt grains produced in salt lakes. Although they contained some impurities, causing
The color ranges from gray to yellow, but generally speaking, these salts are relatively pure, and there will not be much harm even if they are eaten directly as salt.
Therefore, he has been collecting these halite crystals these days, and the harvest has been good. He has actually made several large baskets, weighing dozens of kilograms.
In fact, the piece of rock salt that the Mongolian patriarch gave to Xu Chen as a treasure last time is a kind of aggregated ore formed after long-term extrusion and bonding of rock salt crystals and sand. It can be licked, but definitely not suitable for cooking.
And these crystalline rock salts can be used directly as salt when you take them back. It doesn't matter if there are impurities. It's good to eat them with salt.
So after some careful arrangements, Xu Chen left a flint stick for drilling wood to make fire for these indigenous savages, and several clay pots before leading the team away.
Returning to the Mongolian people, Xu Chen summoned the Mongolian chiefs and several leaders to report on the treatment of the indigenous savages. He also explained the requirements for subsequent salt production and transportation, and said that as long as the Mongolian people manage the salt mines well, the Ba people will give the Mongolians long-term support.
Provide pottery, linen, animal skins and even food and other items needed by the Mongols.
Faced with this huge wealth falling from the sky, the Mongolian people were overjoyed.
Especially after listening to the Mongolian hunter's excited explanation of Xu Chen's miraculous feat of making fire with a wooden stick, the attitude of the entire Mongolian people towards Xu Chen completely turned into an extremely fanatical worship, and they all squatted down and said that the Mongolian people would definitely do it.
Supervise the completion of salt production by indigenous tribes as arranged.
In order to make the Mongolian people wholeheartedly join the Ba people, Xu Chen said that when he returned to the Yugong clan, he would arrange for people to send the first batch of pottery to the Mongolian people as soon as possible.
So the Mongolian people became even more excited, lit bonfires, took out food, and entertained Xu Chen and others with a feast of singing and dancing.
Xu Chen, who had eaten and drank enough, and a group of accompanying hunters once again had a wonderful bath in the hot springs. Many men also enjoyed the enthusiastic mating invitations from the Mongolian women. After a night of fun and excitement, they left the Mongolian early the next morning.
Three days later, the team returned to the Yugong clan.
At this time, the great shaman of the Yugong clan who was invited to go to the Gonghuo clan to see the world has returned.
After returning, the temperaments of the great witch of the Yugong clan and the group of men and women who accompanied him completely changed. The previous aloof mentality of the wealthy clan was gone, and their moods all became depressed and humble.
Everything they saw in the Gonghuo Clan completely refreshed their understanding of the world.
There are currently four tribes gathered in the Gonghuo tribe area who are building new houses. Not to mention that they have various advanced technologies that the Yu Gong tribe does not have.
Not to mention the simplest life skills such as twisting ropes, weaving baskets and making straw sandals, they also have more advanced survival skills such as fishing nets, rafts, horseback riding, farming, and sewing clothes.
In particular, the vibrant and enthusiastic living atmosphere and state of those tribes are completely different from their primitive state of hunting, gathering and living in caves that has remained unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years.
It is said that the changes in the Gonghuo Clan only started this year. They were similar to the Yugong Clan in the past, and they also confirmed this statement in their exchanges. Most of the Gonghuo Clan still live in caves and wear animal skins.
However, after this winter's large-scale construction, as a large number of houses are built, the Gonghuo people will move to the foot of the mountain after spring and start large-scale reclamation and farming, and the living environment will undergo earth-shaking changes.
And the root of this change is the Ba tribe, this magical young man leading a powerful team of hunters to explore, and the common leader of more than ten tribes in their two major tribal alliances, the Witch King.
Dundun, the great witch of the Gonghuo tribe, warned her that she must respect the Witch King and be recognized by the great shaman of the Ba tribe in order to receive the blessing of the First Mother Goddess, because the Ba tribe also has a temple of the First Mother, where the First Mother lives.
There.
Faced with this earth-shattering news, the great wizard of the Yugong clan almost shut down his computer.
After visiting the Gonghuo Clan, I came back and was in a state of confusion. I couldn't concentrate on anything. I sat in my cave all day in a daze, and my mind went blank for a long time.
Therefore, after hearing that Xu Chen had brought people back from the Mongols, the great shaman of the Yugong clan did not dare to show any signs of neglect. He led the remaining clan members down the mountain to greet him, and squatted on the ground from a distance to express his awe and submission.
The last time I surrendered, I was forced to do so, but this time I really did it sincerely, without any resistance.
Because she felt how powerful Xu Chen was, not only because of the troops he trained, but also the various experiences and techniques he taught, which completely surpassed her lifelong knowledge and reached a mysterious height that was unreachable.
She really wanted to go to the Ba tribe to meet the great witch and worship at the temple of the late mother, so that she could receive the blessing and protection of the late mother goddess, so that the Yu Gong tribe could flourish like the Gonghuo tribe.
This is the biggest difference between tribes with witches and indigenous tribes without witches.
The spiritual beliefs of witches can affect the entire tribe and even the entire alliance tribe.
They can rely on the inherited knowledge and wisdom to distinguish the difference between civilizational progress and barbaric backwardness, and then make decisions that are most beneficial to the development of the tribe and the entire ethnic group, leading the people to develop in the direction of ample food and clothing.
For witches, hatred is short-lived, and the long-term development of the tribe and tribe is the most important thing.
Just like the Yugong clan competed with the La clan for the inheritance of the great witchcraft, even if they won and expelled the La clan, they did not exterminate them all. They could even accept the once hostile Mongolian clan to reintegrate into this big family and develop and progress together.
She believes that only if the Yugong clan sincerely submits to the leadership of the Witch King and is recognized by the great witch of the Ba clan, can the Yugong clan alliance truly usher in an opportunity for development.
Faced with the surrender of the great shaman of the Yu Gong clan and his clan members, Xu Chen felt very relieved.
It said that as long as the Yugong clan sincerely obeys the guidance of the great witch, the Ba clan will give them all the advanced experience and technology they need, teach them how to weave baskets with ropes, build houses, farm, and even tame and raise wild animals. They will also be able to provide them with much-needed pottery and linen.
Waiting for daily necessities.
Of course, if the Yu Gong Clan wants to get the same treatment as the Gonghuo Alliance, they still need to make a substantial commitment, that is, before the full moon night in March after the beginning of spring, they will lead all the clan leaders and leaders of the Yu Gong Clan Alliance tribes.
Some young women of marriageable age went to attend the annual Mother's Day sacrificial meeting to obtain the inheritance of the great witches, recognize the Ba people's leadership status, and marry with the Ba people alliance and the Gonghuo alliance.
In response to Xu Chen's request, the great witch of the Yu Gong clan was overjoyed and agreed, and hoped that Xu Chen would be able to give her the Book of the Witch King and the Seal of the Great Witch.
Xu Chen naturally said that there was no problem with these two requests and that they would be properly considered and arranged.
So both parties were very happy.
At this point, a tribal conquest operation brought about by the temporary discovery of a war between the Maotun and La tribes officially came to a slow end.
Counting from the date of departure, it lasted more than twenty days.
