The Strongest Tribe

Xia Tuo's words made the elders who entered the cave nod. Although a great battle had severely damaged the tribe, they were not fools. How could they fail to see that the tribe's future would be better.

From now on, no matter how poor the Xia Tribe is, it is impossible to be worse than the Lu Tribe. They only have the benefit of salt, and they can't sleep just thinking about it.

The battle to destroy the Lu tribe gave all the elders a new understanding of Xia Tuo's methods, and they all looked at him with conviction.

Xia Tuo, who jumped from the bonfire, had a flicker of fire on his face, and he showed a wry smile. When he first took charge of the tribe, what he wanted most was to gain the trust of the tribe, but now he felt a kind of pressure.

Injured clansmen can't live in dark and damp caves, and they can't touch some dirty things. The animal skins that cover the wounds must be boiled in boiling water, and the hemorrhoids must be replaced the next day.

The houses in the valley that had been burned clean had been simply built with big trees, and the injured clansmen were temporarily placed in it to rest, but some clansmen still couldn't help but want to go back to the cave.

It's useless even if you yell at them, these stupid big guys just want to sleep on the wet ground, he is so angry that he, the patriarch, has no temper.

Hong, show someone to watch. Anyone who enters the cave will be dragged out and tied to a tree with a rope.

For these rough-skinned guys who are not afraid of being beaten, Xia Tuo can only use his own methods. You reason with them, and they play tricks on you.

I am happy.

The patriarch hit me.

not afraid.

Women, children and children who have just joined the tribe are all right.

As soon as the voice changed, Xia Tuo asked aloud.

Patriarch, don't worry, the clan has food and drink, and the women, children and children who joined have all settled down.

That's good.

Wei Wei nodded, a big battle, the stability that the tribe needs.

Although counting the newly joined women, children and children, the population of the entire tribe was almost a thousand, but after more than a hundred men were killed in battle, the tribe still seemed a bit short-staffed.

Okay, all the elders and warriors here are tribal elders and warriors. The development of the tribe has something to do with everyone. Let's talk about it.

Concentrating his thoughts, Xia Tuo continued, his eyes looked over the faces of all the people in front of him.

Forehead.

He stroked his brow helplessly, what did he see?

The people present were dumbfounded by his words.

All of them stared blankly at him.

....

Patriarch, let's develop like this.

In the end, Hong Weng said in a loud voice, he looked at Xia Tuo in surprise, and wanted to see if the patriarch was stupid.

How else can the tribe develop? They still have to hunt, and there are still a lot of animal skins to offer to the Gale tribe?

That's right, the Lu tribe used to be so powerful, but now...

Li Suisheng echoed a sentence, but before he finished speaking, he was completely silent.

The patriarch glared at me~~

Li lowered his head, and his fingers as thick as a small radish were breaking and breaking.

Wronged.

Why is it always me who gets hurt.

After stroking his brow again, Xia Tuo could see that the tribe in front of him had no plans for the development of the tribe at all.

In other words, they simply don't have this idea in their hearts.

How to develop a tribe?

Just follow the previous trajectory of the Lu tribe step by step.

As for tribal planning?

What is that, can I eat it?

Those who cannot eat will be treated as sleep delays.

He is playing the piano to the cow.

It seems that the only way is to force them to do it.

Go back to sleep.

Under the night, everyone stared wide-eyed and didn't even discuss a fart, Xia Tuo had no choice but to wave his hand to make everyone retreat.

...

Early in the morning of the second day, Xia Tuo brought him to the mountain above the valley,

I have to say that the location chosen by the Lu tribe is really good. The valley is a crack in the mountain that gives people a place to live.

Also because of the movement of the earth's crust, the salt mines buried deep underground were exposed.

Although the top of the mountain has some ups and downs, it is generally a large flat area. After working all morning, Xia Tuo measured the area of ​​the top of the mountain.

The trend of the mountain is irregular, showing a slight trend of widening in the south and narrowing in the north. When we reach the narrowest part of the valley mouth in the north, the east-west distance of the valley mouth is only about 300 steps long.

And the farther you go south along the mouth of the valley, the wider the distance from east to west becomes. By the time the width from east to west in the southernmost part has exceeded 2,000 steps, the top of the mountain is generally an irregular trapezoid, narrow in the north and wide in the south.

And the whole mountain from the top of the mountain is like a cone flattened from the top, layer by layer, and the mountain becomes bigger as it goes down. On the southernmost side of the mountain is a cliff, which is straight and straight like a knife and an axe. fell to the ground.

The distance from east to west in the north is three hundred and five steps, the distance from east to west in the south is two thousand steps, and the distance between north and south is about one thousand and one hundred steps.

Standing on the southernmost cliff on the top of the mountain, Xia Tuo murmured softly, then he squatted down and picked up a small stone and began to gesture.

Regarding the ghost painting talisman of the head of his family, Lu looked at it from a distance and said nothing, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask.

After calculating for a while, Xia Tuo got up and looked around. To be honest, the area of ​​the mountain top exceeded his expectations. Even if the area of ​​the cracked valley was excluded, it still had an area of ​​more than a thousand mu.

Great place.

You said, can we build the tribe on this mountain?

what……

The abrupt Xia Tuo made a sound, and the deer froze, unable to react.

Not caring about the deer's surprise, Xia Tuo stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, and said to himself: Let's level the land on the top of the mountain, build houses, and build terraced fields on both sides of the hillside, so we don't have to worry about wild animals. Rush out of the jungle and attack the Horde.

Build a tribal hall there, where the elders discuss clan affairs. A totem temple is built here, a place to sacrifice totems. Next to it, a stone temple is built for witches. The rest of the clan will build houses around it. No more living in a damp cave.

Amount.

The deer kept nodding behind Xia Tuo. Although he didn't fully understand what he heard, the patriarch said that he was right to nod.

Looking back at the deer, Xia Tuo realized that he was talking for nothing.

I can't move it.

Being a patriarch is hard.

Xia Tuo, who returned to the tribe, started playing with mud. For three days in a row, no one in the tribe was seen. Three days later, the elders of the tribe were summoned again.

Patriarch.

The Great Elder spoke loudly as soon as he entered the cave with his cane.

You don't care if a small tribe outside comes to exchange salt.

The destruction of the Lu tribe was only a small-scale matter. For the small tribes in the farther mountains, they didn't know that the Lu tribe had been destroyed, and they still traveled across mountains and rivers to exchange for salt.

Except for the cyan crystal salt in the cave that cannot be moved, all tribes who come to exchange salt will be exchanged for them.

Xia Tuo said nonchalantly that his main focus right now is on building a new tribal garrison.

However, we can't be as black as the Lu tribe, and we have to unify weights and measures. A jun can't be big or small. There is still salt that can be astringent, but we can't mix it with gravel.

Soon, the elders came in a hurry, Xia Tuo got up and led the elders to come forward and said: Look, everyone, this is the layout of our new tribe!

He pointed to the tribal sand table model made of clay in front of him, and said with a sense of accomplishment.

The words fell, waiting for the shock of the elders.

One breath.

two breaths

...

However, the surprised and shocking sound he expected did not appear.

Finally, Xia Tuo turned and looked at the elder behind him.

really.

The elders were all shocked.

Everyone was surprised and speechless.

The helpless Xia Tuo touched his nose and said, Do you have anything to say?

Can people live on the top of the mountain?

How to get up?

How to go hunting?

There's no water.

Why don't you live in a cave?

...

Can live.

Climb up.

Go hunting in the woods.

Waterwheel.

My patriarch doesn't want to live in a cave and be a bug!

With a dark face, Xia Tuo blocked the questions one by one.

The patriarch is right.

Among the many people, Li saw the danger signal in the patriarch's eyes towards him, and immediately shouted.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on him.

traitor.

I don't understand what the patriarch said.

Being watched by everyone, Li smiled, what can you do to me, if you dare to embarrass me, Fatty Li, the patriarch will take revenge.

I listen to the patriarch.

Without getting resonance from his tribe, Xia Tuo sat in front of the bonfire again. He was really fed up with this kind of life of sitting on the ground and choking his nose every day.

On the mountain, he is settled.

Patriarch, if you live in the mountains, don't you want to live in the valley?

The great elder rein said in a hoarse voice, he stared at Xia Tuo with his eyes, what a beautiful valley, he couldn't bear it.

Yes, why not.

Xia Tuo replied that he went to see the salt mine in the depths of the valley, and it was a waste to hand it over to the Lu tribe. cloudy brine.

But the Lu tribe is not considered a good thing at all, and they still dig downwards, wishing to hollow out the salt mine.

For him, salt can be brewed by directly extracting the brine in the mine. Why bother to dig out some crystallized cyan crystal salt? New salt is gone.

When the clan moves to the top of the mountain, I plan to seal the valley and make the valley a private territory of the clan.

Xia Tuo continued talking, telling the tribe his plan for the tribe.

As for water, it's not a problem at all. There are springs in the valley, the water flows fast, and there are bamboo forests in the bamboo tribe. Bamboos as thick as buckets can be seen everywhere. Bamboo can be used to build waterwheels to bring water from the valley to the top of the mountain for use by the tribe.

Without exception, he racked his brains to describe to his tribe what a waterwheel is.

Patriarch, can stones be used to build houses, and let's talk about where we can get stones.

A mountain full of stones can be picked up on the spot.

These Xia Tuo have already planned. The stones will be taken from the east and west sides of the mountain. Taking advantage of the opportunity to take the stones, the two sides of the mountain will be built into terraced fields. Of course, this needs to be done step by step. First, the people in front of them must be convinced.
