"Don't be surprised. This is something I have been thinking about for a long time. Everyone knows very well that the Ba tribe is too small and very remote. It is troublesome for each tribe to come and go every time there is a tribal exchange gathering.
But it's different here. The Jicang River and the Wulong River meet. Now all the roads from the Ba tribe to the Gonghuo tribe have been built. It's very convenient to come and go by land or water. Moreover, the terrain here is open and the transportation is convenient, making it more suitable.
Large-scale gathering activities, the most important thing is that there is a large river beach here, please take a look..."
Xu Chen pointed at the Jicang River that meanders in the center of the basin and the vast riverbank grasslands and acres of woods that are unobstructed on both sides and said with a smile.
"Just the dozens of miles of river beach from the Qia tribe to the mouth of the Jicang River downstream can open up countless farmland, and there are countless kinds of wild animals living here, and there are also many fish in the Jicang River.
There is so much to eat, even if all our tribes move here, we can live extremely rich through farming, grazing and fishing.
After the palace and temple are built, the Great Witch and I will move here to live. Any tribes who want to move can do so. At that time, we will plan to build houses on both sides of the river and open up farmland for farming and grazing. As long as we take root here for farming and production, this river beach will be enough.
It can feed more than 100,000 people. In decades or even hundreds of years, this huge riverbank will be filled with farmland and houses. Tribes are adjacent to each other, roads are connected, and ditches are crisscrossed. It will be impossible to eat even the food grown.
over……"
Xu Chen kept talking about his grand plan and the glorious future of Gonghuo Basin, which made a group of shamans and clan leaders scream in surprise and couldn't stop their hearts from beating wildly.
Everyone knows that the riverbank here is vast and suitable for farming.
But no one had ever thought that His Majesty the Witch King's ideals were so far-reaching and grand, and that his goal was the entire river valley and plain.
This river valley is not small. From the turn of the Jicang River near the Qia tribe to the mouth of the lower reaches, if these dozens of miles of area are fully reclaimed, I don’t know how many tribes will be supported. Even if all the tribes move in now, I am afraid they will only be able to occupy
A very small corner.
The place where the Gonghuo Tribe, the Thunder Tribe, the Five Ghost Tribe and other five tribes gathered seems to be very lively, but the total population is only a thousand people, the area is only four miles, and the cultivated area is only more than 2,000 acres.
There are more than ten houses and courtyards of various sizes built on farmland.
If these dozens of miles of riverbanks were all occupied by houses and farmland cultivated by various tribes, how prosperous and lively it would be...
I couldn't think about it, but when I thought about a group of old and young savages, all of them were in bad condition. Each one of them began to feel dizzy and suffering from a lack of blood, and their souls were trembling with blood boiling all over their bodies. Some even started to gasp for air with dull faces.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, we, we want to move here..."
Faced with Xu Chen's grand plan and temptation, the great wizard of the Pi tribe first woke up and responded.
Xu Chen nodded with a smile and said: "Of course you are welcome to move here if you want to move here. I also know that the transportation there is difficult and it is not suitable for farming. But there is no rush right now, because after moving here, we still need to build houses and cultivate farmland. It will not be a short time."
It can be completed in time, and the situation of each tribe is different, and relocation is also very troublesome. There are even many tribes who are not used to it. Therefore, this matter needs to be considered in the long term. The current task is to first build the palace, temple and other ancillary facilities, kiln
Factory, pottery factory, smelting factory, wood and stone tool processing factory, as well as a complete trading place, etc., all need to be planned and implemented slowly, not to mention that there are six tribes in your Pi tribe alliance. If you want to move as a whole, all tribes will be needed.
We all agree that this also needs to be discussed and discussed by yourselves. In addition, last Mother's Day, I proposed that each tribe can live in separate tribes according to their own conditions. If you really want to relocate, you can first let several tribes live together.
Or one or two families may move here first to settle down and farm, so that after both of you have ethnic groups, it will be more convenient for future development!"
When Xu Chen said this, several other witches and a large group of clan leaders also understood. Many people nodded and said that this is indeed the case.
The living environment has a great influence on the development of tribes.
But the migration of primitive tribes from the mountains to the plains was a very long process.
Although Xu Chen is trying hard to shorten this process as much as possible, it is still difficult to change living habits in a short time.
Mountainous areas have the advantage of mountainous areas, that is, they are more resistant to catastrophic climates. Once severe weather such as drought or heavy rains causes a major reduction in agricultural production, tribes accustomed to gathering and hunting can obtain sufficient food through ancient traditional methods.
.
The advantage of the plains is that they have convenient transportation and are suitable for farming and animal husbandry. They will develop very quickly. As long as the weather is good, survival will become very simple and abundant.
Just as later generations have developed into the high-tech era, people in mountainous areas still like life in the mountains. In plain areas, where they feel that the mountains and rivers are barren, they live an extremely comfortable and comfortable life. Although it cannot be said to be rich, the various resources in the mountains can also make people
They live happily.
In the spring, you go to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables, in the summer, you go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms, in the autumn, you go to the mountains to pick some wild fruits, and in the winter, you go to the mountains to find some wild products. After all, you rely on the mountains to eat and the water to eat. As long as you are not lazy, you can still do it in the mountains.
Live a comfortable, prosperous and peaceful life.
Therefore, although the development of Gonghuo Plain was Xu Chen's grand plan, he was not in a hurry to move all the tribes here.
First, it is not easy to quickly adapt to the living environment.
Second, the sudden influx of a large number of different ethnic groups may lead to competition for territory and resources.
The basin of eighty miles is not small, but if dozens of tribes from five ethnic groups all migrate here, according to the current differences in the division of territories and living habits of each ethnic group and tribe, the entire basin will be full of people, and there will be conflicts between hunters every day.
Not less. In half a day of horse riding, you can cross this seemingly huge basin.
Because this basin is not so much a basin as it is actually just a large valley.
The most important thing is that Xu Chen's kingdom territory cannot be limited to this small area. In the future, it will continue to expand outwards and conquer more ethnic groups and tribes. Therefore, the dispersion of tribes will be more conducive to future development.
If all the tribes near the basin move here, the surrounding area will be empty, which will be very disadvantageous for outward expansion and exploration.
The best thing is of course his proposal. The various tribes and groups can be divided into tribes and build houses along the main transportation roads to reclaim wasteland, multiply and spread. Each tribe can also relocate some of them to gather here, and slowly develop in the model of Gonghuo Tribe, and then
With the royal city as the core, it slowly expanded to other parts of the basin, building houses and cultivating fields in circles, and eventually accumulated into a prosperous town.
This time can be ten or twenty years, or it can be thirty or fifty years.
Because even if all the conquered tribes are relocated now, the total population will only be a few thousand people.
If you really want to develop, it is not necessary to live in a gathering style of killing the goose to lay eggs.
Moreover, in the current situation where materials are not abundant, forcibly gathering the population will also cause great survival pressure, because human development cannot only ensure food and clothing, but also the accumulation of wealth and the development of science and technology, and the continuous discovery of new minerals and new
Only with new species, new populations, and new environments can we develop better.
In the following time, several witches and a large group of tribal leaders began to have a lively and exciting discussion about Xu Chen's palace planning and various functional buildings.
The advantages of Gonghuo Basin are indeed much stronger than those of the Ba people.
If the Ba people move here, it will be much more convenient for tribes from the southeast, northwest and northwest.
All tribes can reach here by land and water, especially waterways are more convenient.
Tribes such as the Ba, Wu and Hu tribes in the upper reaches of the Wulong River can reach the Gonghuo Tribe within a day by taking a boat.
The same is true for the Dai tribe, Ji tribe, Cang tribe, Qia tribe and other tribes in the middle and upper reaches of the Jicang River. Taking a boat down the Jicang River can also reach them in one day at most.
Even by horseback and carriage, most tribes can arrive in two days or even less.
The other affiliated tribes of the Yu Gong clan on the southeast bank of the Wulong River are a little more troublesome, but they only need to rush to the Yu Gong clan, and then take a boat down to the mouth of the Jicang River to reach the Gonghuo clan, which is much faster than going upstream for hundreds of miles to the Ba clan.
Much.
This time the venue of the witchcraft conference was changed to the Gonghuo Tribe. Except for the Pi Tribe and the Ba Tribe, all other tribes felt it clearly.
However, some people are excited and excited, while others are disappointed and sad.
Mother and grandmother were very sad.
They never expected that Xu Chen would suddenly have this idea.
They have lived in the Ba Valley for decades and have long been accustomed to every plant and tree there. The most important thing is that the development has been very good in the past few years, better than any other tribe. There are thousands of acres of farmland, the largest house, and ponds and ditches.
, kilns and foundries, and most importantly, the Temple of the Ancient Mother and the Altar of the Eye of the Gods. These are things they cannot give up.
In addition, Xu Chen has been planning to build three other settlements since last winter and is preparing to complete them this winter.
If we move here, wouldn't all this work be in vain?
When she thought of this, Muba couldn't help but feel sad. She stood up and walked to a place where no one was around, wiping her tears constantly.
Because there were too many people, Xu Chen didn't even notice that Mu Ba had left. She was still pointing at the river beaches on both sides of the river and a group of shamans and clan leaders who were planning the construction of palaces, temples and other buildings.
The little witch gently pulled Xu Chen's belt. Xu Chen turned around. The little witch whispered a few words in his ear. Xu Chen was stunned for a moment and let the group of people continue to discuss. Then he took the little witch to his mother Ba Kuan for explanation.
