While organizing the warriors to train for madness, Thor found the wolf king and brought back fifty dire wolves after some discussion.
"From now on you will live with these wolves, eating, exercising, sleeping, you will stay with them, and they will be your most faithful companions."
With this order, the dire wolves came to their chosen warriors, and the distribution ended.
Thor had a small plan, he wanted to train the cavalry belonging to the Soths, the wolf cavalry.
The total length of the dire wolves is close to three meters, the weight is generally more than two hundred kilograms, the weight can be up to three hundred kilograms, and the height of four feet on the ground is more than two meters, such a stature can be ridden by an adult Sothian.
Moreover, the dire wolf has good endurance, fast speed, and strong explosiveness, which is not inferior to horses, and is even much stronger than ordinary war horses.
The only difficulty is that ordinary people don't even want to ride on their backs.
Thor didn't expect the wolf king to agree to his request, although when he discussed, he only said that he wanted to borrow some wolves to join the army, and he didn't know whether the wolf king could understand or not, and finally indulged in the wolf king's arms, so he agreed after two snorts, but he looked reluctant with one eye.
Thor is also a little disappointed, but these days, good food and drink are provided, there is no need to worry about food, there is no need to bother hunting, and the safety of childbirth can be guaranteed, and the dire wolves are indeed more closely dependent on the Soth people, so there is no need to worry about anything.
So Thor thought of a small plan, that is, to cultivate a relationship between people and wolves first, sleep and eat together, and staying together every day is undoubtedly the best way, as for the final effect, Thor is not sure, even if it is not successful, even if it can train a wolf cavalry, it can be regarded as training experience.
With this mentality, Thor is quite calm, the main purpose of training is still on the madness of the warriors, but now there is a group of spectators in the training every day, and the dire wolves are curiously looking at this group of Soth people from the side, as if they have no strength to use, "Drink!" "Hah!" "Ahh The ground roared and screamed.
On the other hand, the tribe finally ushered in its first harvest. Cassava and oil beans were almost ripe one after the other, and all the Sothians were not absent from all of them, gathered around the test field, and with Diana's order, the tribesmen who had learned to harvest stepped forward to get busy.
One by one, the huge cassava was pulled out and slammed into the basket behind them, and one morning passed, and the tribesmen were in front of them full of wooden baskets full of cassava and oil beans, densely piled on the ground, as if they were endless.
No one is not happy, no one is unhappy, this is the result of half a year of hard work of the tribe, after the storm they finally settled on this seaside, and now, the ancestors bless! They actually planted food in the fields.
When Diana peeled cassava and pounded it into flour in a stone mortar, and then put it in boiling water to make a fragrant and thick porridge, the whole tribe became a sensation.
Everyone's eyes lit up, they kept licking their tongues, and the saliva in their mouths slipped down uncontrollably, and they were so greedy! They pushed their noses forward, desperately trying to squeeze forward, with the mentality that even if they couldn't taste it, even if they could smell it, they would be good to squeeze it forward.
Fortunately, with Thor's newly formed small army and fifty warriors to maintain order, it did not turn into a chaotic rally.
Not only the Sothians, but also the dwarves were watching from the sidelines with a face full of relief and expectation, Paladin comfortably stroked the long beard on his chin, he couldn't have been more satisfied with his life these days, there was food, there was drink, he could mine, he could strike iron, Thor even had charcoal ready for making iron.
All he had to do was cover a few blast furnaces, set up bellows, and build a few anvils, and he could hear the pleasant "jingling" again, and in this respect he was immensely grateful to Thor and felt the wisdom of his decision to cooperate in the first place.
What's more, Thor also promised that as long as they were responsible for supplying the tribe with iron tools, the Sothians would provide them with food every year, what could be better?
Paladin even began to fantasize about his future life, and after beating a piece of fine iron, under the refreshing sea breeze, by the fire, by his new anvil, tasting delicious cassava and beans - the god of fire is above, is this the life on the iron-furnace mountain?
"The only fly in the ointment is that there is no Oran wheat koji here...... "The old dwarf sighed, the gray dwarf is not only good at making iron, but also an expert at brewing wine.
If there is Oran barley here, even the most common koji, Paladin can confidently make a sweet tapioca wine.
The iron stove, the wine, the sea breeze, the beach, Paladin really wanted to wake himself, how he was afraid that it was just a beautiful dream.
Thor was also pleased to see this effect, and he and Morey smiled at each other, taking the opportunity to announce a new decree.
Diana took out a scroll of animal skins that she had brought with her, on which was a mixture of pheasant blood and other plants, which was originally used during sacrifices, but had been used a lot during migrations, and Thor had people recollect and make it not long ago, and now it was written on this long scroll of dried animal skins in lingua franca and barbarian.
Diana spoke aloud, and the crowd fell silent and listened.
The first is the practice of monogamy, which recognizes the concept of marriage and family, divides the clan into family units, each family is a household, and monogamous marriage forms a family, and each Soss man can only marry one Soss woman.
When the news was announced, the faces of the people were very confused, they did not understand why Nome had made such a decision, but fortunately, due to Thor's prestige, the crowd showed no signs of uproar, but the joy of the harvest seemed to be defeated, and the cheerful laughter was significantly reduced.
Immediately afterwards, Diana announced Saul's second policy, the division of fields.
As soon as they heard about the division of fields, some people still pondered this new term for unknown reasons, while the smart ones covered their mouths in disbelief, and their hearts began to beat wildly.
Diana, who was standing to Thor's left, unfolded the hide and continued reading
"Second, the division of fields, except for the experimental fields, is planned to be an agricultural area under the half-slope of the cliff corner, and the cultivated land of the Sosi people is selected from the agricultural area.
Whoever forms a monogamous family through marriage is granted three acres of arable land through Nome and provided with iron tools for farming, which is coordinated by the Agricultural Bureau and taught the cultivation skills.
In the future, each family will need to pay taxes on a monthly basis, the standard is the output of the experimental field, and the payment ratio is one-fifth of the standard amount.
If there are soldiers in the family who serve in the army, the land is divided into five acres, and the tax payment standard is one-tenth, and there is no labor service.
The Agricultural Bureau was established to deal with the daily affairs of the tribe under Nome, as well as agriculture-related land allocation, taxation, warehousing and other affairs.
The Acting Chief of Business is Diana; Counsellor and Deputy Director of Clerkship are Morey; Paladin, Ingvar, Tula, and Kazba were the officials. ”
The crowd was completely frenzied, and it was simply too merciful for Lord Nome to agree to teach them this magical method and allow them to cultivate the land!
Everyone was so excited that they could get a share of the arable land, and the thought of being able to eat the sweet and tempting cassava made the tribe drool, and they couldn't help but salivate and wanted to get the field right away, and then plunge into the field.
On the contrary, most of the clansmen are not very sensitive to the establishment of the Agricultural Bureau, and anyway, Nome usually lets Diana and Morey take care of things, which is not uncommon for them.
And the fifty soldiers of the army understood why Thor had said before: how could they not be honored to be honored to join the army, to be given more land and to hand in less grain?
Several warriors had already been seduced by some of the clever Soth girls, and they had become the objects of contention among the women, for which they could only be deeply grateful to Noem, who had given them everything, and secretly swore to their ancestors that they would die for Nome and dedicate their lives to him.
