The river valley of the Yu Gong Clan is blessed with a unique terrain. Overall, it is better than the Gonghuo Clan because it is an open river beach, connected to the vast river beach of the Wulong River outside, and has huge room for development.
On the contrary, the area of the mountain col where the Gonghuo people live is very small. In the past, it was okay to live together in caves, but now if they want to expand their farming area, they must expand outward on a large scale.
However, the great shaman of the Gonghuo Tribe does not seem to want to give up the mountain col where he originally lived. Almost all the houses are still built in it. However, there is only a small stream in the mountain col, which can barely provide domestic water. However, after reclaiming hundreds of acres of farmland,
, this stream will be unable to meet the competition for water for domestic and agricultural use, and the living environment will be more difficult in the future.
In addition, the Gonghuo people have opened up nearly a thousand acres of farmland on the river beach outside the mountain col, but the distance between them is relatively long. Just like the current situation of the Ba people, farming management is very inconvenient.
Xu Chen has now begun planning to disperse the tribe into villages.
But the Gonghuo Tribe has no such plan at the moment.
Moreover, the situation of the Gonghuo Tribe is much more complicated.
Because the area within a few miles of the mountain col has been almost occupied by the Thunder Tribe, the Five Ghost Tribe and two other small tribes, they no longer have much room to expand outwards. If they want to continue to expand their farming scale in the future, they will have to
To develop further upstream and downstream or across the Jicang River, but then you will have to face the situation of scattered tribes living.
Although this was not Xu Chen's intention.
But it can be regarded as a relatively good ending that was unintentional.
When he inspected the Gonghuo Clan this time, Xu Chen wanted to discuss this issue with the old witch, but he saw that the old witch looked like she would not live long in her old age, so he could only postpone the matter for a while.
But he didn't expect that the old witch suddenly fell seriously ill, which made him even more reluctant to talk about it.
Once the old witch dies and leaves a little witch who is only more than ten years old to inherit the inheritance of the big witch, then the resistance to future reforms will be relatively small.
After all, little witches are very easy to train, unlike these middle-aged and elderly witches who are difficult to control and communicate with.
If the old witch of the Gonghuo tribe dies, then among these alliance tribes, the great witch of the Yu Gong tribe is the oldest, and is also young. I am afraid that she will be alive and energetic for a long time, so Xu Chen cannot count on Yu Gong.
The clan can quickly be replaced by a young witch to accept his training.
In addition, given that the Yu Gong clan developed alone in Jiangnan and had special conditions, while discussing and promoting the road construction plan, he also put forward the suggestion of dispersing the ethnic groups to live along the road.
Xu Chen's proposal was very sudden, but the great shaman of the Yu Gong clan and a group of clan leaders all became excited after hearing Xu Chen's explanation.
They are not stupid and can easily understand the benefits of Xu Chen's proposal.
Because the current large-scale farming development has actually caused them a lot of trouble. More than a thousand acres of farmland are scattered within several miles of the riverbank. Whether it is farming or harvesting management, it is very time-consuming to come and go, especially to drive away the spring.
It is very troublesome to drive away birds and beasts, and to drive away birds in autumn. If you are not careful, a lot of crops will be destroyed.
However, if the tribesmen live dispersedly and build houses separately to cultivate farmland according to the size of dozens of people in a family, these troubles will be easily solved.
At the two tribal gatherings in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Ba people had already taught the experience of assigning work to a group, and now these experiences are being slowly promoted in some tribes.
As for Xu Chen, a scattered tribe, if the plan of building houses and clustering with families to reclaim wasteland is successful, not only will each ethnic group have more small tribes, but the scope of control will be expanded countless times, and it will be more convenient to reclaim and manage farmland.
Roads can be built between these tribes and families. Then, just like the Ba and Wu tribes, they will be able to communicate quickly through horse-drawn carriages.
In order to stimulate the Yu Gong family's enthusiasm and enthusiasm for road construction, Xu Chen asked people to bring out the regional transportation planning map he had brought, and pointed out the two roads that had been completed in Jiangbei Bameng and Gonghuo League and explained them carefully.
At the same time, he also said that after the autumn of this year, the road connection project between the borders of the Qia and Cang tribes will be completed as soon as possible, so that more than ten tribes of the Bameng and Gonghuo League will be completely connected.
Faced with such a large-scale transportation plan that had been completed, the great shaman of the Yugong clan and a group of clan chiefs and officers were stunned.
Just one winter passed, and the two tribes on the other side of the river actually did such a big thing without making any noise.
Thinking of such a wide road connecting various tribes, and that there would be horse-drawn carriages between these tribes every day to facilitate and speed up communication, a group of family leaders couldn't hold themselves back. While eating and drinking around the campfire, they all asked the great witch to join the Yu Gong Alliance.
Large-scale road construction began.
The great wizard of the Yugong clan suddenly became a little depressed.
She has been working hard, always thinking that through her guidance, the Yu Gong clan is now no different from the Gonghuo clan, but she did not expect that this road will break her pride and self-esteem.
Once the Gonghuo Alliance has this transportation artery connecting various tribes, it will only develop faster in the future.
Moreover, this road can also lead directly to the Ba people. A trip by horseback and car only takes a day or two, which is very easy and fast. However, among the Yugong alliance tribes, a trip to the Mongolian people who are the furthest away now even takes ten days.
Therefore, the great shaman of the Yu Gong clan suddenly became very anxious about building roads, and eagerly began to discuss the road building plan with Xu Chen.
This time, Xu Chen came mainly for road construction.
In order to strengthen the Yugong people's confidence in road construction and dispersed living, Xu Chen specifically told the story of the Muya tribe's migration to Maogong Ridge, saying that the Muya tribe had now completed building houses and farming in Maogong Ridge and settled down.
Settlement along transportation thoroughfares will not only make travel safer for tribes traveling in the future, but will also provide more safe places to rest, eat and drink.
If the Yu Gong clan lives dispersedly, they can adapt to local conditions and arrange the layout with roads and areas suitable for farming, which not only facilitates mutual contact but also facilitates farming and development. As long as the Yu Gong clan continues to develop for decades or hundreds of years, the Yu Gong clan's sphere of influence will continue to expand.
In the end, there may be hundreds of small tribes, controlling hundreds of miles upstream and downstream of the south bank of the Wulong River.
Xu Chen moved his fingers up and down the map, covering an area of nearly 300 miles from the mouth of the Ba River to the Qia River downstream, drawing out a big development blueprint for the Yugong clan.
The great shaman of the Yu Gong clan and a group of clan chiefs and officers were all dumbfounded when they heard this, and many people even drooled all over the floor following Xu Chen's fingers.
They have never thought about what the Yugong clan will develop in the future, because among their ancient habits, it is the greatest happiness to not be hungry every day and to have simple animal skins to keep out the cold in winter.
But since they surrendered to the Ba people, they suddenly have a new goal, which is to live in spacious houses and harvest enough food to feed them for a year. Now they are working hard towards this goal under the guidance of the great witch, and they hope to achieve this goal in the near future.
In front of you.
Having enough food, clothing, and warmth, living in a big house, and being able to ride horses and cars when going out is their greatest happiness.
But the pie that Xu Chen drew for them today made them feel that their horizons were too small.
Compared with the magical and talented Witch King, their happiness and satisfaction are almost like insects.
All the happiness and prosperity are just the beginning now. In the future, the Yugong family will have even more ambitious and ambitious development goals.
"Xiangga, from the Ba tribe to the Qia tribe to the Gonghuo tribe, the south of the Yangtze River is all your territory. There are roads connecting each tribe, and there are carriages traveling everywhere. You will own countless farmland and houses.
, harvest endless food and wealth, and then build large docks on both sides of Yelangtan and Yugong River to facilitate cross-river travel. In the future, both sides of the river will become very prosperous and lively."
Xu Chen looked serious and continued to draw pie to seduce.
As a result, everyone in the Yu Gong clan was full of enthusiasm. They could no longer contain their excitement and cheered loudly around the map, as if the Yu Gong clan had succeeded.
Soon this grand plan was spread excitedly by a group of family leaders, and the entire river beach was filled with thunderous cheers.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, do you have any money to build the road?"
As a great witch, although she was equally excited, her wisdom and mentality were much stronger and calmer than those of a group of ordinary tribesmen, and she also had some competitiveness in her heart.
The Yugong clan is now lagging behind the Gonghuo clan, and it will take time to catch up. However, compared with the Youqing clan who are not even allies, the Yugong clan's advantage is very obvious.
However, the Youqiong tribe is located near the Gonghuo tribe and is connected by land. It is far more convenient for them to travel between the Ba tribe and the Gonghuo tribe. She doesn't want to be unable to compete with the Gonghuo witch. Now that she can't even compete with the Youqiong witch, it would be too embarrassing.
You must know that in terms of age, the great witch from the poor tribe is the same as her. He is in the prime of life, and is even older than her, with richer knowledge and experience.
Seeing Grand Wizard Yu pointing at the location of the Youqiong tribe and asking, Xu Chen smiled and shook his head and said, "The Youqiong tribe are not allies, and their development is very slow. There is no road construction at the moment, but it will definitely be built in the future, and the scale is still very large.
You see, there are poor tribes here, the Tage tribe to the northwest, and the Pi tribe to the north..."
Xu Chen pointed to the approximate distribution locations of the newly added tribes on the map, and drew an arc around the large mountainous area northwest of the Jicang River with his fingers.
"In the future, these three large tribes will need to build roads to connect with the Ba and Gonghuo tribes. In the future, Jiangbei's transportation plan will be larger, and more tribes will come and go!"
The great shaman of the Yugong clan and a group of jubilant clan chiefs, chief officers, and other officers gathered around to watch carefully. One officer pointed to the positions of the Pi and Dai clans and asked in surprise: "How far is it from Jijinga, and before Moga?"
Xu Chen smiled and nodded to express that it was indeed the case, and then briefly talked about the last time the Ji tribe discovered the Dai tribe and later led the cavalry to conquer the Pi tribe, and the scene fell into silence.
Grand Wizard Yugong and a group of people all had dull faces.
