Chapter 88

In mid-October, the Cang people who were farthest away slowly arrived.

The Cang people are the farthest away from the Ba people, and it takes two days to walk there.

They first had to stay one night at Ji Clan.

The Cang people are slightly different from the Ba people, Wu people, Ji people, and Muya people in appearance. Not to mention thick eyebrows and big eyes, they look much taller, and their spoken accents are also quite different.

It is said that the Cang tribe was forced to move north from the lower reaches of the river, and then they became neighbors with the Ji tribe and the Muya tribe.

In the beginning, due to the competition for territory, the Ji clan and the Cang clan had several battles, resulting in deaths and injuries to each other.

Later, it was the Wu tribe who came forward, and the Cang tribe had to admit defeat and accepted the blessing of the great witch and became a friendly tribe.

This is all information that Xu Chen gradually understood while communicating with a group of foreign primitive people.

The number of Cang people is not small. According to the explanation of a group of savages who are illiterate in numbers, there are probably close to two hundred people, second only to the Wu people.

They came this time with thirty people, and most of the goods they brought were various animal skins, and there were also some colorful ores. What surprised Xu Chen was that they actually brought a lot of dog-head gold nuggets.

The total weight is no less than thirty kilograms.

Holding these heavy pieces of gold, Xu Chen wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

This thing can neither be eaten nor used. It is really useless at the moment.

Just accept it, it's a total loss-making business.

If you don't accept it, you'll feel bad about it.

After all, he is a person who has seen the world. Yellow gold is the real hard currency in the commercial society and has influenced human civilization for thousands of years.

Is there really a huge gold mine near the Cang tribe?

You must know that gold almost always exists in the form of pure metal in nature. According to the current knowledge and tools of primitive people, the possibility of mining is almost zero, and it must be picked up on the river beach.

Therefore, while Xu Chen couldn't laugh or cry, he deliberately communicated more seriously.

Sure enough, with the explanations of a group of people from the Cang tribe, he roughly figured out that there was indeed a river where gold could be picked up in the area where the Cang tribe lived.

Of course, they are not everywhere. It will be easier to pick them up after the water rises in summer. This time, they specially brought some collected by the tribe all year round to exchange for pottery and linen.

The exchange process is still heartbreaking.

Xu Chen did not participate in the whole process. Seeing that it was very difficult for these Cang people to come all the way, he did not overly skimp and specifically asked the kiln workers to replace them with more pottery.

The Cang people, like several other foreign tribes, were extremely shocked by the current changes of the Ba people. After visiting the mountains and downhills, they cried and howled for a long time before they calmed down. After changing the goods, they also asked some people to stay and participate in the construction of the Ba people before leaving.

Work, hoping to exchange more pottery that the tribe urgently needs through labor, and said that they would come again around the Mother's Day in spring and exchange for more linen.

Although the current number of construction workers is sufficient, Xu Chen did not reject the Cang clan's request and left eight people.

Since then, the Ba people have acquired a total of thirty-nine foreign workers, all of whom are young and strong men. Together with the Ba people themselves, the construction team has expanded to nearly fifty people.

With the addition of the Cang people, the construction speed of the large mansion has been significantly accelerated.

Logging, collecting stones, laying out mud bricks, digging soil and mud, and building wall bases, all projects have entered a period of large-scale construction in full swing.

Of course, as the number of people continues to increase, the consumption of food is also increasing significantly.

In order to catch more meat, Feng led a group of hunters and had to divide into two groups, one group of four people for hunting and one group of two people for fishing.

In addition, in order to supplement plant-based food, Gu and Ju no longer participate in building houses, but go to the mountains to dig yams.

The kiln could no longer accommodate so many people, so Xu Chen simply spent two days temporarily building a row of simple wooden sheds with felled wood based on the kiln's wall, and simply covering them with thatch as temporary shelter.

For the sake of environmental sanitation, he also dug an open-air toilet outside the kiln factory to prevent these savages from wandering around.

As more and more people work, the pressure to eat, drink, and defecate increases. The number of women cooking in the kiln has increased to six, but they are still stretched thin. The mother has to take a group of women up and down the mountain.

Go run around and figure out the logistics.

As more and more people come and go, the walls of the construction site get higher and higher, and there are more and more mud bricks on the river beach. With the busy coming and going all day long, the foot of the mountain becomes more and more lively and noisy, and it gradually feels like a busy city.

This kind of excitement has completely shattered the lonely and peaceful life of the Ba people before, and has unknowingly affected everyone.

The six tribes that rarely interact with each other have become harmonious because of this unique employment relationship. In their spare time, these men, in addition to chatting and bragging every day, will also hold some strength and force games, wrestling, throwing spears, and wrestling.

In order to enrich the lives of these hired workers, Xu Chen also made several straw man archery targets on the river beach and taught them archery.

Although he did not teach how to make bows and arrows at the witchcraft conference, the structure of this thing is simple. After seeing it, you can basically understand what is going on. However, in order to make a bow and arrow that is powerful enough, careful experimentation is needed.

Therefore, Xu Chen had no intention of hiding the bow and arrow.

It's just that I don't want other tribes to get such a big advantage in vain.

Now maybe other tribes have started trying to make bows and arrows. Even if they are not able to reach the level of the Ba tribe for the time being, in six months or a year, they may gradually get the hang of it.

Teaching bows and arrows to these friendly people who communicate with the tribes is also building popularity for the Ba people.



At the end of October, the fire break zone for a large wasteland delineated by Xu Chen was basically completed.

Then I chose a sunny day and started setting fire to the wasteland.

On this day, all construction work was stopped. Dozens of people were divided into several groups, scattered around this large wasteland from southeast to northwest, and they also carried simple fire-fighting tools, which were made of green fire-fighting tools.

A broom-like thing tied with branches.

After everyone was in place, Xu Chen gave the order to light seven or eight fire points in sequence from the inside to the outside.

The weather was dry, the vegetation was dry, and the river wind was howling. After the seven or eight ignition points were ignited, flames instantly rose into the sky. The wind helped the fire. In just a few minutes, the flames reached the sky, and thick smoke rose straight into the sky.

Rabbits, badgers, porcupines, foxes, mice, squirrels, all kinds of wild birds, all the small animals living in this wasteland were frightened, and they flew around in all directions, surrounded by wild people with bows and arrows.

Spear and stick chased him everywhere with shouts and screams.

Mother and her tribe came out in full force and came to the foot of the mountain to watch this unprecedented event.

A group of children cheered and cheered by the river beach, and the older ones even took toy bows and arrows to chase the escaping hares. The whole river valley was filled with joy.

Xu Chen had already explained to a group of tribesmen the purpose of burning wasteland, which was to sow seeds specifically on this wasteland and purposefully plant food crops that could be collected.

Although Mu Ba didn't understand why Xu Chen wanted to go to war to do this, she didn't object, she was just a little confused.

Men will not interfere in such matters.

Because men rarely participate in gathering plants and growing fruits, they are only responsible for hunting and maintaining the safety of the tribe.

The river valley at the foot of the mountain is quite large. Both sides of the river are covered with undulating low mounds. Even if you don’t sow seeds, they will be covered with oats and wild beans in the spring. You can also harvest a lot in the fall. Is it possible to just sow seeds?

Can it grow better?

Other women generally have the same ideas as Mu Ba, and they will naturally discuss and communicate in private, but Xu Chen's magic has proven his unique ability, so they will only silently support everything Xu Chen does.

, and never thought of blocking it.

But no one is sure about the future harvest.
