After having a sumptuous lunch at the Cang Clan’s Golden River settlement, the team continued on their journey.
Along the way, he passed two Cang settlements again. Xu Chen didn't stay too long this time. He just stopped to briefly inquire about production and living conditions and then arrived at the Cang headquarters gathering area.
In the past, the Cang people lived in a valley three miles away from Jicang River.
Since the Bagong Avenue was built, the Cang people moved the entire tribe to the mouth of the valley and built three large and small adobe courtyards at the foot of the river beach. Over the years, the farming area has continued to expand, and thousands of acres have been reclaimed along the river beach and the road.
Farmland, the entire valley entrance is surrounded by criss-crossed streets and long ditches, and the wild scene no longer resembles the wild scene when Xu Chen led people through here for the first time seven or eight years ago.
At present, the Cang clan's headquarters only has a few hundred people, including many children. It is basically the limit to maintain so much farmland.
But the benefits of decentralized farming are also evident. From the Cang tribe to the Qia tribe, there used to be almost no human habitation in the fifty-mile wilderness. But now that it has been dispersed into four ethnic groups, each settlement is less than ten miles apart. The nearest
There are two ethnic groups that are even less than three miles apart, and it only takes a few minutes to travel by horseback and carriage.
Since then, the road from the Cang people to the Qia people has formed a relatively dense population distribution pattern with village characteristics. Not only can they carry out farming according to local conditions and facilitate farmland management, but they can also expand their territory several times, almost as much as the downstream people.
The Qia ethnic gathering areas are connected together.
At the Cang Clan headquarters, Xu Chen and others were once again warmly welcomed by men, women, and children. The Cang Clan leader and a group of officer hunters even blocked the team from leaving and had to stay and rest for the night. So Xu Chen originally planned to
The plan to reach the Uzu today was ruined.
So at the end of spring, when the flowers were blooming and there was a hint of summer, Xu Chen took everyone on a spring outing near the Cang people.
Heng took a group of hunters to hunt in the nearby mountains and brought back two yellow sheep and a forest deer before the sun had set. The harvest was quite good. Then the whole family, old and young, lit a bonfire on the river beach and started a grand bonfire feast.
Needless to say, the dinner was lively. Xu Chen was very happy to praise the Cang clan leader and Heng and other leaders.
Now that Pakistan has been established and the royal city has been built, the future development focus of Pakistan will definitely be agriculture and handicrafts.
Agricultural development has been carried out well in various tribes in recent years, but the two core ethnic groups, Bameng and Gonghuo League, have been better implemented. In addition, the Yugong League has also developed under the leadership of their great witches in recent years.
Very quickly, but because there is a Wulong River across the river, Xu Chen has not been there for more than a year. I don’t know what the current situation is. Whether he has followed his previous guidance to disperse and settle into different tribes like the Cang tribe, and expand the scope of farming.
and complete transportation planning.
The Pi tribe and the poor tribe should also have some development, but due to the complex living environment, backward conditions, and backward technology, the speed will definitely be very slow. At most, it will be no different than the Gonghuo tribe four or five years ago.
As for the Cicha, Tage and Moteng tribes who have just joined, we can't count on them at all. They won't see much development within five years. There is no such thing as transportation renovation. Xu Chen doesn't even think about it.
I feel a little powerless and unable to control that far. I only hope that these large ethnic groups can obtain technical support under the unification decree of Pakistan, and then imitate and follow the development.
Therefore, for a long time to come, the core development area of Pakistan will be the core ethnic groups of these first circles near the Gonghuo Basin.
The Cang people responded positively to his plans and calls, and actively promoted dispersed settlement of tribes and large-scale reclamation of farmland. This was the greatest support for national development and would quickly help them get rid of poverty and become wealthy.
After all, the strength of a country ultimately lies in its population.
It can be seen from the development in the past few years that all tribes with a relatively large population base can basically develop very well, while those small tribes with dozens of people cannot keep up with the pace of development.
Xu Chen didn't know whether the two small mountain tribes that had left the Gonghuo Clan and joined the Yu Gong Clan were still living in caves now, because he couldn't care less about them.
During this Mother's Day sacrifice, he will promote the construction of a road from the Qia people to the poor people.
If it succeeds, these small mountain tribes will also benefit in the future, and the poor will also be able to increase their development speed. However, this road is far less simple than the Bagong Avenue. Xu Chen himself is not sure how long it will take or what it can be built.
In order to reward the development of the Cang people, Xu Chen decided to provide the Cang people with axle parts for ten carriages and carts, and axle parts for twenty wheelbarrows. In addition, he also gave an additional reward of fifty kilograms of salt.
This reward came so suddenly, and the men, women, and children of the Cang tribe were so surprised and excited that they all knelt down and thanked His Majesty the Witch King for his benevolent act.
But apart from being grateful, they also hope to acquire the technology to build wooden boats, and want to build several wooden boats for fishing and transporting goods to and from the Gonghuo Basin.
Xu Chen did not refuse this request and said that he could send two carpenters who were proficient in shipbuilding to the Cang people to assist in shipbuilding and teach them techniques.
So the dinner party became even more lively. After eating and drinking, men, women, old and young gathered around the bonfire on the river beach to celebrate with singing and dancing. They continued to be noisy until midnight before falling asleep with excitement.
The next day, Xu Chen did not leave in a hurry. Instead, surrounded by Cang men, women and children, he went to the river beach to find a suitable location for building a dock and shipyard. When he was about to set off, another team of hundreds of people raised flags in the downstream direction.
The trumpets came, but they were poor people who came to participate in the Mother's Day sacrifice.
The two teams merged, and with the addition of the Cang Clan chief and other people who were originally going to the Ba Clan, the team became even stronger, with nearly 300 people setting out together to go to the Ji Clan.
When the Ji clan was resting and communicating, they happened to encounter the witch of the Pi clan arriving with a group of clan leaders and leaders, escorted by dozens of hunters, and the scene became even more lively.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Zilong has grown into a tiger-like figure and can run around everywhere. He looks extremely strong.
Seeing his son, Xu Chen was naturally happy from ear to ear. He rode horses and carts all the way, teasing his son and slowly returning to the Ba tribe with hundreds of people on a sightseeing tour.
The road from the Ji tribe to the Wu tribe is relatively long, detouring around the Muya tribe for nearly 70 miles.
If you ride a horse or a cart, it will only take half a day according to normal time. However, because most of the poor and Pi tribes walk, it takes more than half a day to reach Maogong Ling.
The Muya tribe has built a settlement here, and now four years have passed and the development here has been very good.
They built an adobe compound at the foot of the mountain, and reclaimed hundreds of acres of farmland on the riverbank and hillside. They also raised five horses, three sheep, two donkeys, and dozens of ducks. The farmland and crops were lush and green, and the houses
Vegetables and vegetables flourished in front of and behind the house. Men, women, old and young fished, hunted, farmed and weaved. It looked like a self-sufficient and fulfilling life.
Maogongling is an important transportation route for the Ba ethnic group, Wu ethnic group and Hu ethnic group to the Jicang River. They pass here all the way from north to south. Teams passing here all year round will stop to take a rest, especially teams of hunters who often pass by on horseback.
We rest here, so although it seems remote and sandwiched between several mountains, it is actually quite lively on weekdays.
In order to facilitate people passing by to rest, eat and drink, the Muya people also built a pavilion on the roadside, always equipped with firewood and clean water.
Maogong Ling is a special place. From the foot of the mountain to the pass of the mountain, there is a flat slope that is several miles long. The soil is rocky and there are not many lush trees. There are a lot of thorn plants growing, and various wild berries and fruits are all over the mountains and plains.
In particular, there are many aphrodisiac fruits, and they are also very suitable for growing pepper. Therefore, after the Muya people settled here, they planted a lot of pepper on the hillside and harvested a lot every year.
Xu Chen didn't want to stay here for long and went directly to the Uzbekistan.
But looking at the various delicious wild fruits all over the mountains and plains, Ye, the three little witches and a group of girls from the witch academy immediately couldn't walk.
Although their status is very special and they are not children anymore, this is the first time for them to go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers like this.
This situation was completely unimaginable in the past, because men, women, old and young had to work hard to get enough food, and they were busy all day long for two meals a day.
But until now, after the tribes gradually got rid of food and clothing, they really had such extra free time for leisure and entertainment.
And Xu Chen also thought that there were still several days left for the Mother's Day sacrifice, so he was not in a hurry to go back. Moreover, he also happened to take advantage of the warm spring time to spend more time with his son, so he asked the Pi tribe and Youqing
The team of the Pi tribe left first, leaving the Pi tribe witch alone to play with her team and take the car back.
So in the next half day, Xu Chen carried his son and a large group of people to pick various wild fruits in Maogong Ridge.
Seeing so many uneaten wild berries, Xu Chen felt that it would be a pity for them to be harmed or dropped by wild birds, so he simply asked the Muya tribe to prepare clay pots and began to teach them how to make mixed fruit wine.
Winemaking technology has always been a secret of the Ba people.
And wine has always been the most popular and unique delicacy of the Ba people.
However, the alcohol resistance of primitive people is very low, and they can get drunk with just a few sips of low-alcohol fruit wine. There have been many incidents of confusion and accidents due to drinking, especially when the leader of a group of hunters of the Gonghuo Tribe led Xu Chen for the first time.
When a man went to the Gonghuo Clan to hold a great shaman inheritance ceremony, he got drunk and was beaten up so badly that he will probably never forget it in his life.
Xu Chen has always tried his best to control the spread of wine-making techniques.
Because drinking is really not a good habit.
Don’t drink while driving, and don’t drink while driving. Especially for a group of hunters who like to drink. If they take a few sips, they will probably fall over while riding and cause a tragedy.
However, no matter how he controlled it, the demand for wine among various tribes was increasing day by day.
In the past, when the alliance only had two ethnic groups and more than a dozen tribes, the wine brewed by the Ba people was enough for a few meals at the party. However, as the alliance grew bigger and bigger, the population increased, and the gatherings became larger and larger.
Dozens or hundreds of people are entertained at each party, and several jars of wine are consumed in one meal. Nowadays, the fruit wine brewed by the Ba people is far from enough, especially the vine fruit wine. A group of hunters of the Ba people live their lives waiting for more than ten jars of wine every year.
If you don't take a few bites every now and then, you will feel that life is boring and you won't even be interested in driving.
