After two days of self-cultivation, the old witch's complexion had recovered a lot, and most of her panic had subsided. Moreover, after she gradually became familiar with the situation in front of her and the power of the Meba League, her inner resentment and pain after being conquered were also reduced.
No trace.
You can't blame yourself for being too weak, but blame your opponent for being too strong.
Bameng is so prosperous and prosperous, with so many powerful tribes gathered together. Not to mention the food, clothing, housing and various tools here are far beyond her imagination. Even the production, life and mental outlook of the people here are no longer what she can control.
Understood.
She was even a little afraid. If the people of Bameng did not leave with peace, but continued to attack and annex her tribe like the tribes in the past, then the Tage tribe would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
When they were in the west, the entire tribe had more than ten tribes with nearly 3,000 people. However, after being defeated and killing more than half of them, they were not allowed to migrate to the southeast. It was not easy for their tribe to settle down peacefully between the Youqing tribe and the Pi tribe.
After decades, it was conquered by a more terrifying and powerful force like the Ba Meng, and in the end it could not escape the fate of being annexed by other tribes.
But the Bameng is much better than that huge tribe in the west. At least they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor will they deliberately rob them of any property. They will not kill her to completely expel the Tage tribe. Instead, they will only change her belief, and they are still the same.
Let her take charge of the tribe.
Moreover, this kind of light, breathable, exquisite and gorgeous dress was not only comfortable to wear, but also had a solemn and luxurious feeling, which made her suddenly feel taller.
As for the miraculous buildings like temples and palaces built with rammed earth and covered with terracotta tiles, they were no longer within the scope of her and her tribe's understanding. This was a complete gap between two different eras and even different worlds.
Bameng can be regarded as a mysterious tribe of gods.
It is said that there are indeed gods living in the place where His Majesty the Witch King and the Great Witch live.
Next month, a sacrificial meeting involving all shamans and tribes will be held in the Ba tribe, and then you can see the appearance of the gods with your own eyes.
Two days are too short, and what the old witch knows right now is only superficial.
If the Tage people want to integrate into the Bameng tribe as soon as possible and develop as powerful and wealthy as the tribes of the Bameng tribe in the future, they must learn the language here as soon as possible, learn the words in the Witch King's dictionary, and learn to read, write and calculate before they can truly join the great witchcraft.
discussion.
It is said that from now on, this temple will be the place where all shamans worship, study, discuss and communicate.
After the inheritance ceremony was over and the great shaman of the Taket tribe was appeased, it was about the distribution of the captives of the Taket tribe.
Because all the cavalry were used this time, and the cavalry was mainly composed of several tribes with relatively large numbers of horses, such as the Ba tribe, the Wu tribe, and the Gonghuo tribe. Among them, the Ba tribe alone dispatched twenty people, because the Ba tribe’s
The tribe with the most horses, followed by the Wu tribe, dispatched more than ten people, and the two tribes combined had more than half of the troops. In addition, the Gonghuo tribe had eight people, ranking third, and other tribes with more horses each dispatched three to five people, totaling
Twelve tribes participated.
Therefore, in the distribution of captives, the Ba and Uu tribes shared more than half, and the other tribes divided up the other half.
For the Ba people, the prisoners came very timely.
Because just after the clan split, some of them migrated to settle in the Gonghuo clan, and suddenly they felt that they were completely short of manpower.
Most other tribes also feel this lack of people.
Because all the large and small alliance tribes have been responding to Xu Chen's call and plan in the past two years, they have continued to disperse their ethnic groups along the built roads to find spacious and flat places suitable for reclamation and farming.
Starting to lack people.
Especially in the past two years, we have been building roads and the royal city, and we have to build houses, reclaim and cultivate a large amount of farmland. When living conditions continue to improve and food harvests continue to be bumper, the labor intensity has become more and more intense, and the manpower has become increasingly scarce, especially for young and healthy people.
men and women.
From last winter to the beginning of this spring, both the east and west sides deployed troops at the same time. More than 300 people came to assist the Five Ghost Tribe alone. The departure of so many strong labor forces made each tribe feel a little stretched.
If it weren't for last year's harvest and abundant food for each tribe in winter and spring, the departure of these core hunters would definitely affect the tribe's survival.
Therefore, seeing that more than two hundred young men and women from the Taqi tribe who were temporarily arranged to live in the trading area and were wearing furs and were dirty and smelly were taken away by the Ba tribe, the Wu tribe, the Gonghuo tribe and other tribes in groups according to the number of participants, all the former
The tribal chiefs and leaders who came to watch were all drooling with envy.
The Ba people had a huge harvest this time. According to the number of participants, they were divided into more than 60 people, half male and half.
Among them, the men are all kept to help as part of labor reform and will be released after a year.
The women will all stay and become the population of the Ba people from now on.
The Ba people have now built the most spacious and beautiful rammed earth settlement in the entire Gonghuo Basin at the north gate of the royal city. Each courtyard has more than ten houses of various sizes, but only eight or nine people live there. Occasionally, Mu Ba and the others live there.
Most of the rooms are always vacant, whether you bring your tribe members to stay or have temporary guests to settle in.
After this large number of people moved in, the four courtyards were almost full at once.
If we include these Tage women, the Ba tribe now has more than 180 adult men and women, and most of them are young people. In addition to the forty or fifty children born in the past few years,
The total population of the Ba ethnic group has exceeded two hundred, truly reaching the size of a medium-sized tribe.
Moreover, the Ba people have sufficient food reserves. Last year's harvest on both sides was enough to feed so many people. Therefore, in the next year, the Ba people can devote themselves wholeheartedly to various production and life constructions. The Ba people will also usher in a big leap again.
development of.
The same is true for other tribes. The addition of these young men and women will greatly alleviate the dilemma of lack of people in various tribes, especially small tribes like the Hu tribe. Seeing that tribes with a large number of people are divided into clans and circles, they can occupy a good place.
They wanted to build houses and reclaim wasteland, but they could only stare anxiously, and their eyes were red every day. This time, they were finally able to bring back more than ten people to strengthen the tribe, and they could start relocating by tribe.
After all the arrangements were settled, the Taq people who had been carved up were sent back to their respective tribes by a group of hunters, and the construction of the royal city and settlements became lively again.
Because of difficulty in language communication and lack of understanding of the use of various tools, most of these Taket people are assigned to perform some heavy manual labor, such as digging soil and mud in kilns, logging and firewood on the mountains, carrying wood and bricks at construction sites, and digging ditches.
Carrying soil, although they are tired every day, they still have enough food, shelter and food. They are much happier than when they suffer from cold and starvation during the winter and spring in the tribe.
And in this continuous labor exchange, they are also working hard to learn and absorb the language and various advanced experience and technologies of Bameng, learn the use of various new tools, manage farmland, make delicious food, raise livestock, and spin and weave cloth.
…
…
End of February.
Gonghuo Basin has entered the most beautiful spring season of the year.
The mountains and rivers are covered with red flowers and green willows, and farmland is criss-crossing both sides of the river. The water in the Jicang River has begun to rise, and plump fish and shrimp have begun to become the delicacies of various tribes.
The palace and temple complex have all been covered with terracotta tiles. The houses are stacked one on top of another and stand neatly on the flat and vast river beach. They look like a flock of chickens, majestic and solemn.
Although the doors and windows inside have not yet been installed, and various interior decorations have not yet been completed, the overall atmosphere has shown an incomparable grandeur, making everyone feel a sense of excitement and excitement.
Because such a magnificent building was built slowly by all the tribes brick by brick, earth by stone and tile by tile.
It's like a miracle, amazing and proud.
At the same time that the construction of the royal palace was completed, several main roads and irrigation and drainage ditches planned near the royal city were also gradually completed. The entire royal city area, just like the royal city planning map drawn by Xu Chen before, looked crisscrossed and clear.
With the Palace Square as the center, a ten-meter-wide avenue extends in each of the four directions, southeast and northwest, leading directly to the settlements of various ethnic groups outside the four gates of the royal city.
Inside the settlements of each ethnic group, there are also horizontal and vertical roads about three meters wide, connecting the tribes together. Together with the ditches on the roadside, they form a square and neat pattern like a chessboard.
On both sides of the four Imperial City Avenues, areas tens of meters wide are reserved for planning.
These planned areas are open spaces left for the future expansion of the royal city beyond the four gates.
Because most of the river beach used to be filled with only weeds and thorn bushes. After Xu Chen burned it with a fire, the entire river beach looked blank except for houses and farmland. There were occasionally a few woods, but they were all far apart.
In order to decorate and beautify the living environment and shade the sun in summer.
In early March, Xu Chen issued a new order from the Witch King, requiring tribes to plant various green trees along the roads and ditches.
The requirements for planting are mainly fast-growing large trees, but they can also be various large fruit trees and flowers. In addition, in the wide open space on both sides of Wangcheng Avenue, it is best to transplant some economic trees such as tung trees.
Flowers and trees are now in full bloom on the mountain, and these trees are easy to find and identify.
Xu Chen personally led people up the mountain, dug back many fruit trees and some flowers and trees with strong fragrance, and arranged for people to plant them in front and behind the Ba courtyard and around the palace gardens, squares, and temples.
Other tribes also responded positively. Almost all men, women and children went into battle together, driving around on carts and horses every day to dig up trees and transplant them.
This round of tree planting activities lasted until a few days before Mother's Day and slowly ended.
There are no less than 300 different seedlings planted in the palace and temple alone, and there are even more ornamental flowers and plants. Whenever I see some strange and beautiful varieties when I go up the mountain, I will dig some up and plant them.
Now is the time when spring is warm and flowers are blooming and everything is growing, so the mountains and plains are full of exotic flowers and plants, most of which Xu Chen does not recognize, as they are varieties that will not be found in later generations.
Therefore, he was delighted to see it and arranged for people to dig it out one by one and plant it there.
He even planted a flower vine in the palace square.
This kind of flower is now in full bloom. The golden and red flowers are intertwined like clouds. The fragrance of the flowers is overflowing and is intoxicating. In order not to knock off too many flowers when transplanting, he used more than ten people and a carriage to spend a full amount of flowers.
It took half a day to dig it back from the hillside near Gonghuo Tribe.
So in just seven or eight days, the bare palace gardens, squares, and surroundings of the temple changed drastically. There were flowers and green grass everywhere, and they looked full of life.
The landscape garden arranged by Xu Chen naturally amazed everyone.
Although in this era, you go out into the wild and there are flowers and plants everywhere, but a garden like Xu Chen's, which brings together all the exotic flowers and plants and carefully builds them, is a completely different landscape.
Therefore, when there are more and more flowers, plants and trees near the palace, there is an endless stream of people coming to watch every day.
Under his call, other tribes planted more flowers, plants and trees, and there were no less than 3,000 various fruit trees, flowers and trees transplanted around the entire royal city.
According to the plan, a tree will be planted every ten meters on both sides of all roads.
Although these trees are still very small, it will take several years or even more than ten years before they grow enough to provide shade, and most of them are not expected to survive.
But as long as planting and greening continue every year, in more than ten years, this vast riverbank will surely become another beautiful scenery with fragrant flowers and fruits and shades of green trees. This chapter has been completed!
