The Witchcraft Conference has officially ended today, and the plans for the royal city and settlements have also been completed. The next step is for the alliance tribes to implement them.
After a group of great witches and clan leaders went back to the tribes yesterday to communicate and discuss, Xu Chen wanted to once again confirm the situation of the relocation and resettlement of people in each tribe, so as to make some preliminary plans for the construction of the royal city and have a general understanding in mind.
According to the reports from various tribes, there are many tribes and people who want to migrate. Almost every tribe in each alliance has at least half of the tribes who want to relocate some people, and the Wu tribe, Gonghuo tribe, Yu Gong tribe, and Pi tribe
The four largest core tribes have all mobilized at least hundreds of people to relocate, especially the Pi tribe, who plan to relocate half of their people in the first batch.
After statistical registration, the first batch of tribes from the five major alliances to participate in the relocation reached 20, and the number of relocated people exceeded 1,000.
This number sounds quite shabby, but it is already one-sixth of the total population of the five major alliance tribes. If it is more, the development of each tribe will be greatly affected. After all, each tribe has developed over the past few years and cultivated a large amount of farmland.
There should also be enough manpower left for farming and management.
In addition, there is nothing here in the Gonghuo Basin, and it is very poor. Too many women, children, old and weak people will hinder the development here. Therefore, each tribe basically recruits strong men and women, and strives to make a living in the next winter and spring.
Seasonal completion of house construction and farmland reclamation and sowing.
As long as this first group of people take root safely, plus the Gonghuo Clan, Lei Clan, Five Ghost Clan and two other small tribes who originally lived here, there will be thousands of people in total, so that almost the entire population will gather near the royal city.
One-third of the population of the Grand Alliance was about the same size as a town in later generations, so it had enough popularity to develop industry and commerce.
In view of the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the alliance tribes, in order to support the migration of these tribes and the construction of the royal city, Xu Chen said that within the next three years, all relocated tribes will be allocated a portion of salt for free based on their population.
This sudden good news immediately made a group of shamans and tribal leaders overjoyed, and those tribes that were hesitant about moving began to become a little ready to move.
In addition, there are some small tribes with only a few dozen people who are too small and feel bitter in their hearts. It is not that they don't want to move, but that there are fewer tribesmen who can work. Once the tribes are divided, both sides will be in difficulty, so they have no choice but to give up.
And Xu Chen also knew the situation of these tribes, so he didn't force it at all.
This kind of diffusion and migration is indeed only suitable for powerful tribes with large populations.
For these tribes that have decided to migrate and settle here, Xu Chen also made careful arrangements at the meeting, asking the Gonghuo Tribe, Lei Tribe, and Five Ghost Tribes to do their best to receive them here and provide as much help as possible.
After the relocation and resettlement arrangements were completed, Xu Chen roughly assigned the tasks for the construction of the royal city.
Because there are many buildings in the royal city, the overall planning structure is also relatively complex. In addition, Xu Chen does not plan to use ordinary masonry structures for house construction, but plans to use rammed earth. Therefore, the construction process is slightly more complicated and requires specially made rammed earth.
Tools such as molds and copper pestles also require professional training for craftsmen, otherwise the wall may collapse when the time comes.
This winter, Xu Chen had no plans to start building the royal city. Instead, he asked each tribe to focus on the construction of settlement sites and the reclamation and sowing of farmland.
Therefore, he only planned to complete the preliminary preparations for the royal city, leveling the ground, digging wall ditches, and preparing masonry, wood, and tools. In addition, he did not plan to build the royal city with thatch, but with tiles.
To burn tiles, you need to re-make the corresponding tools and train tile-making craftsmen. Although he has seen the original pottery making process in rural areas, it will take a lot of effort to copy it, because the structure of the tile barrel is slightly different.
It's complicated, that thing is movable.
The early preparations for the royal city are temporarily left to the Gonghuo Clan, the Thunder Clan, the Five Ghost Clan and several other nearby tribes to complete. The Ba Clan will also arrange for a team of dozens of people. In addition, several other alliances will be prepared based on the situation of each tribe.
Then a part of the labor force will be dispatched in turn, and the rotation will be carried out every month.
In fact, Xu Chen is the chief planner and designer of the construction of the royal city. Without him, nothing can be done. Therefore, Xu Chen estimates that he will also spend time with the Gonghuo tribe throughout the winter. Therefore, some things that cannot be coordinated and arranged temporarily will not be arranged at the meeting.
There is no detailed arrangement, I just wait for it to be carried out slowly later, and deal with it slowly when encountering it.
At the end of the meeting, Xu Chen suddenly asked about the construction status of the Mongolian hot springs. After learning that the largest hot spring pool and two other small hot spring pools had been expanded and the wooden houses were built as required, Xu Chen temporarily decided to take all the witches there.
Mongolian people soak in hot springs and inspect the mining conditions of salt mines.
This news surprised and excited a group of witches.
They all already know about the hot springs of the Mongolian people. There are many hunters from various tribes who have followed Xu Chen to soak there. Even the Pi people now know about these things.
It is said that soaking in hot springs can make people whiter, have better skin, and make people less likely to get sick. Although these are all conjectured by His Majesty the Witch King, the skin of the Mongolian people is indeed much whiter and tenderer than that of other tribes, especially women, whose complexion is
She is smooth and delicate, and rarely has the dark and rough appearance of women from other tribes.
Although they are all savages, savages also have aesthetic values.
Although the appearance of the Mongolian tribe is not necessarily more beautiful than that of other tribes, it is generally more attractive, because a group of witches also appear to be relatively white. It cannot be said that the shamans are not good-looking, otherwise they will offend the gods and be struck by lightning.
However, although the hot springs are good, it is difficult to soak in them. It is still more than 300 miles away from the Mongolian people. Not only do you have to cross the Wulong River, but after crossing the river, I heard that there are still several sections of the road there that have not been fully repaired, making it difficult to pass.
Said, it takes too long to go back and forth.
Therefore, after the meeting, all the tribes except the Pi, Wu, and Ba tribes started to go home one after another. Xu Chen took Ye and a group of witches on three wooden boats, escorted by more than a dozen hunters.
Following the raft of some members of the Yu Gong Alliance, they went down the Jicang River and headed straight for the Wulong River. On the shore, there was a group of hunters riding horses along the riverside road straight to the mouth of the Jicang River. They had to drive the horses across by then.
Go to the river.
Two days later, Xu Chen took Ye, the twin little witches, the Gonghuo tribe's little witch, the Five Ghost tribe's little witches, the Pi tribe's witches and the Yugong tribe's witches, etc., to arrive at the Mongolian tribe on horseback, escorted by dozens of hunters.
.
The accompanying great shaman of the Yu Gong clan and a group of Mongolian hunters of the Yu Gong clan were all a little ashamed.
If this road is completely opened, it will be much faster, and a group of witches can ride in a carriage without having to worry about riding horses.
After all, although these horses have been trained very well by each tribe, and the horses chosen for them are all docile adult mares, riding this beast is still very frightening, especially the new little witch of the Gonghuo Tribe.
He had never ridden a horse before, and he almost fell off his horse in several mountainous valleys where roads had not yet been built. In the end, Xu Chen had to carry him on his back.
After traveling more than a hundred miles, he was holding a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in his arms, which made him feel uncomfortable all the way.
After arriving at the Mongols, we saw that most of the hillside valleys were shrouded in mist. In addition, there were a large number of exotic flowers and plants that could not be seen elsewhere in autumn and winter, and green plants all over the hillsides, which made a group of Wudu people wonder.
Get excited.
Even the great shaman of the Yu Gong clan is no exception.
Although she is in charge of the Yu Gong Alliance and the Mongolian tribe is a subordinate tribe to her, she has never been to the Mongolian tribe.
Therefore, the situation in front of her also surprised and surprised her.
She never expected that the area near the Mongolian territory would be like this.
The Mongolian people no longer live in the caves they used to live in. Instead, they have built many wooden houses in the woods near the hot springs. They are connected at random according to the height of the mountain. They look very alien.
Although the Mongolian clan leader is still behind with the large group of people participating in the witchcraft conference, more than half of the Mongolian clan members are still behind, mainly women, children, old and weak. In addition, there are Mongolian military officers and hunters who came back with Xu Chen and others, so the reception arrangement
All are pretty good.
After everyone settled down, Xu Chen took a group of witches to watch the hot springs.
Looking at the gurgling hot springs with rolling heat waves, a group of women, big and small, were both frightened and surprised. After testing the water temperature, all of them became extremely happy.
Primitive people don't like to take baths, especially in winter and spring. Firstly, it's cold and it's easy to get sick while taking a bath. Secondly, it's troublesome and hard to do. It doesn't matter in summer or autumn. Taking a bath in winter and spring can cost you half your life.
In this era where heating is basically based on shaking, it is not easy to dry your body after taking a bath. You can only shake it dry first and then dry it naturally. In winter, if you wait to dry yourself, you are almost finished.
Although there is no understanding king in this world, the living habits passed down from generation to generation enable all savages to know how to take care of themselves.
However, after Xu Chen was born, the living habits of various tribes began to undergo earth-shaking changes, starting with the Ba tribe.
The appearance of linen, houses, and pottery completely changed the habits of eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping.
Everyone in the Ba ethnic group knows that Xu Chen loves to be clean and loves to take a bath all year round. He takes a bath every day in summer and two days in spring and autumn. In winter, he has to take a hot bath every three days.
Under his supervision and guidance, the Ba people also began to pay attention to hygiene. They used pottery basins and linen cloth to bathe, brushed their teeth with simple small-bristle brushes, and carefully combed their hair and washed their faces every day. Even the laziest people would clean themselves up every day.
Clean up a bit to prevent yourself from being too slovenly and becoming incompatible with the clan.
