MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 118
Tribe of gods.
Chang, the tribal leader, has ten sons. As he gets older, these sons do more and more small tricks behind his back.
The most eye-catching ones are the eldest brother Chu Li and the second child Chu Er. Chu Li's mother is Suchang's original wife and the daughter of a former warrior in the tribe. position of heir.
The second child, Chu Er, whose mother is the daughter of the chief elder of the tribe, is equally powerful.
Over the years, he has always tried every means to pull the boss down and replace him. The reason why the elder elder went to the Phoenix tribe so actively to inquire about the news was that his grandson could have enough bargaining chips.
Only when Chu Er takes the position, can their lineage enjoy the glory together.
Once defeated, with the boss's means, their life may be difficult.
The youngest, Chu San, is a little weaker. His mother is just an ordinary person in the tribe, and she can't help him. He looks harmless on the surface, but is actually waiting for an opportunity.
As for the fourth son Chuqiu, his mother was a woman kidnapped from other tribes sent by Chang, so her identity was even more trivial.
With such an identity, he was doomed to have no chance to compete with the first three. Even his life with his mother was not easy, so he thought of taking the risk, looking for a reliable partner, trying to break this rule and climb up.
The Phoenix Tribe, a rising tribe, was the only choice in his mind.
It's a pity that he didn't gain Sang Yu's trust when he went out this time.
After all, he has no bargaining chips.
After returning from the Phoenix Tribe, he has been actively thinking of ways to establish a relationship with the Phoenix Tribe again, but he did not expect that Yao, who originally recommended him to the Phoenix Tribe, defected and turned to the camp of his second brother, Chu Er.
As for the Phoenix Tribe.
Sang Yu is busy building the tribe every day, doing production and management internally, and alliance matters externally.
Happily, the Black Tribe, which has been providing them with hemp, also announced that it has joined the alliance.
Under the call of the Rock Tribe, three more joined in one after another.
So far, the members of the alliance have reached seven tribes.
This is a good start, Sang Yu feels happy, and always urges the construction of the alliance center.
It wasn't until September in the second half of the year that Yu, who had been away for half a year, hurried back and brought the news of the copper ore as expected.
The location of this ore is in the big forest near the tiankeng where Sang Yu met for the first time.
Sang Yu listened to her feedback, and after learning about the intensive production of copper grass flowers, she, who was originally ambitious, stopped thinking.
The Phoenix tribe now includes Xindi, Yanshan, and Tongzhen, with a total of only more than 2,000 people. According to Yu's description, that place must produce copper mines, at least tens of thousands of tons.
Even if they go to mine now, they can't finish mining. At that time, such a big movement might attract other tribes, that would be bad.
Although copperware is not as hard as ironware, it can still cause a lot of damage when used properly.
Sang Yu thought over and over again, and finally made a decision. When the tribe reaches a certain scale, go to mine that copper mine.
Listening to her analysis, Yu felt that it was reasonable, so he wrote down the location of the copper mine for the time being.
With the successive construction of roads, post stations, and alliance centers, member tribes of the alliance have also established stations in the alliance centers.
Stations are mainly small institutions like embassies and trade posts.
Near the station, each tribe is also equipped with a staff dormitory for the staff of the Alliance Center to live in.
The Phoenix Tribe built two large courtyards. As a dormitory for men and women, there are eight rooms in each courtyard, with a Datong bunk outside.
Although there were not many people living in the early stage, the waiting alliance center continued to expand. At that time, there will be more things, and occasionally someone will need to stay overnight.
The tasks of these resident agencies are mainly to communicate and convey information on alliance affairs, solve tribal difficulties, and accept the joining and registration of surrounding small tribes and tourists.
It is better to understand the trade point, which is a fixed stall.
The Phoenix tribe sent four people to station in the center of the alliance, two were in charge of station affairs, and two were in charge of trade points.
The trade point does not accept everything, and offers exchanges of salt, pottery, soy sauce and wine.
Mainly collect live animals such as horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc., preferably young ones, to facilitate crossbreeding.
At the same time also received all kinds of seeds.
All the necessary seeds of mulberry elm were drawn by small painters and posted inside the trading point for people to see.
The rock tribes mainly provided bone tools, stone tools and animal skins in exchange, and collected everything that could be used as food.
The product offered by the Black Mountain tribe is hemp.
Since the Black Mountain tribe joined the alliance, Sang Yu also generously taught them how to make linen and line of defense.
Now that the Black Mountain Tribe has found a craft to survive, they are very grateful to join the alliance.
The other three tribes also set up stalls, but nothing special.
The League Center has an office, a stadium and a market, and a ten-mile promenade built with bamboo and thatch, so that people who come and go have a place to rest.
But there is only one very important function missing, which is a place to eat.
Nowadays, everyone still builds their own fire and roasts things to eat.
Yu Sangyu sent another sister-in-law who was interested in cooking and her son to open another shop next to their trading point, a small food shop.
It's a pity that we haven't found wheat yet, so we can only make a fuss about cassava, rice and beans.
The three staple foods are dried in the sun, driven by the waterwheel by the river, ground into powder, mixed with wild vegetables and a little minced meat, added with sauce to make pancakes, steamed, and served with a large bowl of vegetable soup, which is a basic set meal .
At the same time, it is also equipped with cured fish and bacon, which are easy to store pickled products, which can be handled by people who spend a lot of money.
There is no currency yet, and food can only be exchanged for food. Although it's inconvenient, it's the only way to do it for the time being.
In this way, the arrangement of the alliance's equipment is almost completed.
A meeting is held within the alliance every month. Sangyu attended the first few meetings, and at the third meeting, he proposed that all member tribes should develop the concept of planting and breeding in an all-round way, expressing their willingness to teach everyone the method for free.
But the seeds need to be exchanged for things.
The planting team of the Phoenix Tribe has been working on the issue of seeds for several years, and the seeds they provide are of higher quality and more advanced. Other tribes can practice exchanging seeds and crop seedlings according to their needs.
Of course, other tribes could also keep their own seeds.
As soon as this proposal came out, the other tribes couldn't help but beam with joy.
Not long ago, they visited the Phoenix Tribe and saw thousands of acres of fertile land, the heavy ears of rice, the plump pods, and the huge cassava lying underneath. The Phoenix Tribe also entertained them with these delicacies.
If your own tribe is also planted, why worry about having nothing to eat in the future.
"There is also cultural development. From tomorrow, the school here in the Alliance Center will also be officially opened. Our teachers have also been sent to settle in. I hope that everyone will organize the manpower of each tribe in the next few days and prepare to go to school."
As far as knowledge and culture are concerned, anyone with a foresight knows its importance.
And these tribal representatives are all selected and more authoritative and far-sighted people, and they will not fail to understand this truth.
"I've been looking forward to the start of the school for a long time, and I want to be the first to sign up."
"There is no one among us who is unwilling to learn. Our tribe needs twenty places."
"Quanshui tribe, can you arrange twenty people to come here at once, don't fill up the classroom, we also have twenty people to come over."
"There are four hundred people in our tribe, and twenty people are considered a small number."
Sang Yu said at this time: "In addition to the Phoenix tribe, there are six tribes in the alliance that need to learn. Each tribe has 20 people, a total of 120 people. Two classes can be opened, and there will be more in the later period." , let’s add another class.”
So it was decided.
The two teachers who came this time are another teaching assistant from Huihe. That assistant has fully possessed the ability of this kind of elementary teaching, and there is no problem in all aspects when he is sent here.
In the current situation where teachers are scarce, a rotation system is temporarily adopted.
Each of them will teach in the Alliance Center for one year, and return to Xindi after the term expires.
After two years have passed, there must be other new teachers who will take over.
The same is true for teachers stationed in Yanshan and Tongzhen.
After the meeting, Sang Yu took Yu to the small restaurant opened by their tribe for dinner.
Don't look at this small restaurant as simple as that. But since it opened, it has really attracted a lot of people passing by.
People from other tribes who stayed at the alliance center also regarded it as a regular canteen.
It's a pity that it is not a small burden for them to barter.
However, they sometimes hunt around and get the food they hunt for the small restaurant to help process.
The restaurant will cut out a little meat as a reward to offset the cost of firewood and oil, salt and sauce.
Sang Yu didn't expect this small restaurant to bring any benefits to the tribe. The biggest function of this restaurant is to provide convenience for people passing by to eat, and the other is to promote the tribe.
Includes the promotion of food and sauces, and processed foods such as alcohol.
This advertising investment is very small.
The staff dormitory here has left a house for Sang Yu, and the accommodation is not bad.
Yu went to the dormitory to get the bowls and chopsticks, and the small restaurant was cooking gnocchi, which was loved by people passing by like cooking dumplings.
When the two of them started eating, they saw a strange tourist appearing at the door with a deer on their shoulders, and asked with some uncertainty, "Do you process food here?"
Sister Wei, who was in charge of the restaurant, walked out with a smile and said: "It's processed, but you need to charge some manual fees. You are such a big deer, and it will take a lot of time to finish it. I have to charge you for a deer leg, but you can eat it by yourself." Is it over?"
"I heard that the food in your shop is delicious. You brought it here specially, and there are a few people behind you. Just do it, and you can finish it."
"Okay, then you guys have to wait for a long time. If you are worried, just watch in the backyard by the window. My son will handle it here later—hoe—hoe, come and carry the meat in."
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy came out in response, carrying a huge deer on his shoulders with a smile, and walked towards the backyard.
"I'm very hungry. What kind of soup are they drinking? It smells very fragrant. Can you bring me a bowl too, and you will eat the venison in a while."
Sang Yu had a panoramic view of all this, and while eating, she said to Yu: "This place will only become more and more lively in the future, and the role of the alliance cannot be seen yet, but time will tell everything."
Yu smiled, "You can see it now. From this look, the new market will probably be moved here next year."
"Well, we also want to take advantage of these opportunities to recruit more people, see which tribes sell slaves, and exchange them all. I hope that by the end of this year, the number of the entire tribe will reach more than 5,000."
"Now Xindi has 1,200 people, Yanshan has at least 700 people, and Tongzhen has 1,120 people. Add up...more than 3,000 people. By the end of the year...5,000 people, this goal doesn't seem to be very difficult."
These calculations consumed almost all of Yu's brainpower at this moment.
"Look at your big talk. In November, transfer 500 people from Yanshan and Tongzhen to Xindi each, so that they can accommodate the newly recruited tourists."
While drinking the soup, Yu was still calculating the data in his mind, before he asked after a long while, "How many people can the new land accommodate at most?"
Sang Yu replied: "The current area alone can accommodate about 50,000 people, but the checkpoint goes along the river, and towards Yingzui Bay where we fished last time, there is a large stretch of plains on this side. It is far away from the mountains, it is convenient to irrigate by the river, and the land is fertile, so it can be used as our granary."
"How many people would it take to fill such a big place."
"It's not in a hurry, let's fill up the new land first. I don't know about other places, but in the entire Eastern Wilderness, the Phoenix tribe is definitely the tribe with the fastest population growth. We have enough food and no wars here. The registered families now There are only five or six hundred of them, and it seems that all of them are capable of giving birth. It is not uncommon for more than one or two hundred children to be born every year, and the population base will be larger in the future, and the proportion of newborn babies will continue to increase.”
"It seems that the tribe has a lot of babies."
"Yes, childcare will be very hard in the past few years, and the baby management center will be at full capacity. By the end of the year, people from Tongzhen and Yanshan will be assigned to the babycare center and the planting and breeding team. Over there, relieve the pressure."
"When will this ease up?"
"The pressure will be relatively high in the past five years, unless we recruit more young and middle-aged people to supplement the labor force."
"Don't worry too much. According to the situation before the snow last year, there will still be people coming here one after another."
Sang Yu nodded, "Come on, the food problem is easy to solve. This year we have added thousands of acres of land. We already have a surplus of food, but it's a pity that we haven't found wheat yet."
Yu knew the wheat she was talking about, because she carried the blueprint of wheat on her body.
"I will go out again in a few days to continue searching. Now that I have found the location of the copper mine, I will be looking for these crops this time."
"What are you talking about? I'm not urging you. I've been away for more than half a year. I look forward to your return every day. Now that you've just come back, don't even think about going out, at least until next year."
Yu just smiled, and then said with some taste: "Is that Yao from behind still here?"
Sang Yu shook her head, rested her chin and looked at her.
"I'm full and I can't finish it."
Seeing this, Yu took her bowl, and then poured the rest of his own bowl into her bowl, and then took her bowl, and said to wipe out these gnocchi bit by bit.
Seeing her eating her leftovers, Sang Yu blushed a little, but felt very happy in her heart.
