Developing transportation is Xu Chen’s next most important plan.
He wanted to complete the construction of roads connecting all tribes within three years, and use the speed of horses and carriages to speed up the exchanges and connections between tribes.
Of course, in order to strengthen exchanges, there must be demand and motivation for exchanges, so the trading town in Gonghuo Basin must be completed as soon as possible.
It seems that I still can't stay and enjoy the blessings this winter. I need to go out for inspection and research, complete the planning of several main traffic roads, and at the same time urge the Gonghuo tribe to complete the construction of the trading area, and strive to make it the home of the Wu Zhu Conference next fall.
Move to Archfire Basin.
After all, the Ba tribe’s area is too small and cannot accommodate more gathering tribes. Gonghuo Basin is the most suitable place.
Besides, there is no need to hold the gatherings in the spring and autumn in the Ba people. For the future development of the Gonghuo Basin, placing the autumn witchcraft conference in the Gonghuo Basin will also quickly increase the popularity of the Gonghuo Basin and lay the foundation for the establishment of a kingdom in the future.
A better foundation.
From now on, the Ba people will only hold the Mother's Day in spring, striving to build this place into a sacred and solemn religious place to enhance its character.
If this is the case... the temple on the mountain must undergo another large-scale expansion, and the Eye of the Gods Altar at the entrance of the valley also needs to be built as soon as possible.
Xu Chen wandered around the busy trading area for an hour, and after finding that there was really nothing worth trading or asking about, he simply went back to plan the projects that needed to be completed in the next two or three years, and started taking action after preparing for the witchcraft conference.
I went out for a wander last winter, and when I came back, I felt like I was at home. I even had the urge to stay in the tribe and not go out for the rest of my life.
But after more than half a year, he realized that he began to miss the days of wandering outside again.
Although it is cold, tired, and full of crises, we face infinite newness and unknowns every day, and every place is full of mystery and hope.
But in the Ba tribe, he has almost lost the passion for life. Unlike the previous two years when he planned and developed the tribe, he had so much fun and motivation, but now he wants to fail day by day.
Just like this witchcraft conference, there is nothing new for him.
He also slowly began to understand why guys like Feng and Long liked to ride horses and row boats outside every day, never returning home after a whole day of surfing.
Wave is both a feeling and a way of life.
Only outside can there be enough freshness and excitement.
Even if you just take a walk around the mountain, you might get something different and exciting.
When a man is unwilling to go out and hang out, it must be because he is injured, either functionally or emotionally.
Xu Chen's current functions are normal and his emotions are single-minded. He only wants to meet an urban lady with fair skin, beautiful breasts and a big butt.
Although this hope is infinitely close to zero, after all, opportunities only exist outside.
Staying in the tribe, there are only a group of rough black aunts and cousins, and the little female savages are not the breed he really likes, they are just trying to make ends meet.
After all, it is a matriarchal clan and women are in charge of the family. He cannot go against the wishes of female comrades.
The day passed quickly.
It's sunset time again.
Bonfires were lit for the first time on the river beach, and soon piles of them were spread all over the river beach. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the entire valley was filled with a strong smell of fireworks.
The river beach, which had been noisy all day, gradually became quiet.
Groups of wild horses rushed back into the fence and were tied up according to the marks left by their respective tribes. The men who were participating in the entertainment competition also dispersed in groups and returned to their tribes' quarters.
The women began to wash rice, cook porridge and barbecue food.
Originally, every night was the busiest time in the valley.
But the atmosphere today is a bit quiet and solemn.
There is a strong sense of regret and loss on the faces of men, women and children.
Tomorrow we will go our separate ways and return to our respective tribes.
Such a lively party is coming to an end.
Everyone looked in the direction of the courtyard reluctantly.
There was also a thick smoke rising from the center of the compound, which looked particularly clear under the setting sun.
There is always a banquet in the world.
Xu Chenbi didn't have a good impression of this noisy primitive gathering.
If it weren't for the purpose of gaining popularity among the Ba people and taking this opportunity to collect beliefs and spread advanced knowledge and culture, he wouldn't have done it.
In fact, by now, his own belief building has been basically completed.
The next step is to integrate the various tribes through infrastructure construction such as road construction, and at the same time complete the preliminary political structure.
This includes two aspects. The first is to complete the management structure through the special class of witches. The second is to complete the unification of military power through military training and the officer class.
Wu is responsible for the management of production and life and other aspects of people's livelihood.
The army is responsible for the security of each tribe and external conquest and expansion. Of course, it is also a force that maintains the unity of the alliance internally. As long as this paramilitary force is grasped, the entire alliance will be impregnable.
A bonfire burned brightly in the courtyard.
Xu Chen still invited a large group of hunter officers and leaders to hold a dinner.
The Ba people are now quite wealthy, so they can eat all kinds of meat and food, and naturally they also have a supply of delicious fruit wine.
However, no people from the poor and Taq ethnic groups were invited to participate today.
Because today’s discussion is about the integration and construction plans of the four alliance ethnic groups to which the Ba people belong in the next two to three years.
The first priority is naturally the training and construction of the hunter team.
As this horse is distributed, the strength of each tribe will be greatly enhanced.
Improving hunting ability is only one of them. Xu Chen requires the elite hunters from each tribe to participate in the training to master horseback riding skills. Of course, they must also train diligently to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness.
The second is that each tribe should also round up more wild horses, sheep, donkeys, wild boars and even birds according to their own conditions to assist the tribes in actively carrying out animal husbandry and increase the tribe's food reserves and security.
The third is to actively explore externally. While collecting information on the mountains, terrain, and distribution of animals and plants near the tribe, it is best to find out whether there are adjacent tribes nearby, as well as their basic information such as their distance and population. If conditions permit, they can communicate with each other.
, to accumulate information for future geographical expansion.
In the past, all tribes would not have much motivation to explore outside.
But things are completely different now. After Xu Chen made some inquiries last winter, the world seemed to suddenly become brighter. Strange tribes and ethnic groups appeared in the southeast, northwest and northwest almost at the same time.
The Yu Gong clan in the south, the Five Ghost clan in the east, the Cicha clan in the southeast, the poor clan in the west, and the Tage clan in the northwest whose situation is unclear.
As for the Youqiong Clan, it was only through the joint exploration of the Cang Clan and the Ji Clan that they finally revealed their true identity. Finally, they had normal interactions with the Ba Clan Alliance, and even helped Xu Chen find the most important metal, tin.
This time the Youqiong tribe brought a new tribe, the Taq tribe.
This is a distant and unfamiliar ethnic group.
It's at least half a month away from the Ba people.
Although it is troublesome to come and go from such a distant tribe, they can still trade normally with the help of poor intermediaries to build bridges. After these people return, the Ba tribe's various prosperity and wealth, as well as mysterious and advanced technologies and utensils such as pottery, linen, and even copperware, will be available to them.
They will know soon too.
The Taq tribe was originally a large group, and they were being squeezed by other ethnic groups closer to the west and had to migrate to the southeast. Therefore, this kind of news and technology would spread in a geometric manner.
In a year or two, maybe tribes thousands of miles away will know that in the southeast, there is a powerful and wealthy Ba tribe. They have a temple where the gods live, five great witches, four huge ethnic groups, and they can build
A magical house, capable of raising animals and farming, making pottery and weaving cloth, smelting bronze, and building carriages...
In short, as the more tribes are contacted, the news will spread faster and wider.
And Xu Chen couldn't wait for someone like the Tage tribe to come forward proactively every time. Instead, he needed to take the initiative to investigate.
He worked hard to train these hunters, distribute wild horses, and equip them with weapons such as bronze swords and daggers. His main purpose was to expand territory and conquer more tribes and expand the influence of the Ba people, rather than letting them eat and drink enough every day to become
A bunch of idle pile-driving strongmen who can't find anything serious to do except pound women.
Hunters also have an important task when exploring and expanding externally, which is to explore the terrain of communication between tribes and make preliminary preparations for the upcoming large-scale road construction.
Xu Chen believed that after witnessing the roads built by the Ba and Wu tribes and the carriages passing by, all the tribes would be tempted.
Xu Chen didn't need them to build roads connecting all the tribes. He only needed to build two or three main roads first, and then slowly complete the branch roads to each tribe.
Even the main road Xu Chen has a rough plan.
The first one is from the Ba tribe - the Wu tribe - the Ji tribe - the Cang tribe - the Qia tribe - the Gonghuo tribe - the mouth of the Jicang River.
The second one is the Qia tribe, the Qu tribe, the Kun tribe, the Yehuo tribe, the Jia tribe and other tribes distributed in a half circle from the southwest to the southeast of the Gonghuo Basin.
The Qia tribe is the intersection node of these two main roads. In the future, a main road can be extended westward to the Youqing tribe and the Tage tribe.
There is also a road from Gonghuo Clan - Jia Clan - Five Ghost Clan Devil Valley, which can be extended eastward to the Cicha Clan in the future.
The third one is the tribe belonging to the Yu Gong Alliance alone on the south bank of the Wulong River. Xu Chen went there last time and he already knew the location of each tribe. He could also build a main road connecting four of the tribes.
From the Yugong tribe to the Mongolian tribe, the remaining Maotun tribe and the other four tribes are scattered near this main road and can be connected by separate branch lines.
When several main transportation roads are completed, transportation links between almost most tribes on the land will be completely opened.
Then build a transit trading terminal at the mouth of the Jicang River, so that the Yugong people can communicate with the Gonghuo Basin through the river and even directly with the Uzbek people and the Ba people.
Such a simple transportation network layout of land and water lines is roughly completed.
Around the blazing bonfire, eating delicious salted fish barbecue, drinking delicate and smooth wheat and bean multigrain porridge, eating salty and delicious pickled vegetables, and licking a sip of delicious vine fruit wine, all the officers participating in the discussion
Everyone is intoxicated with beauty.
Not only was the food delicious, but also the wine and delicacies, and the grand plan Xu Chen described for them also made the group of guys excited and excited.
When they thought that there would be wide and smooth roads connecting so many tribes, so that they could travel smoothly without fear of floods, and they could run as fast as they could on horseback or in carriages, everyone shouted and said that they would explore the route as soon as possible after returning to ensure that they would not miss anything.
Then some guys fell to the ground before they finished speaking, and they were drunk and drunk with the smell of alcohol coming from their mouths.
