Han Cheng knew that Wu and Senior Brother Wu must have been very confused about their own methods, and after seeing the two of them surround him, he took them to the inner cave.

Before entering the cave, tell the rest of the men to continue their work, and let the lame spouse, who is cleaning the intestines of the sheep that has been turned over, add a handful of salt to the basin and scrub it again......

The matter of giving away these tribal salts for free was actually a decision that Han Chengcai had not made for a long time, but even so, there was also some thoughtfulness in it, or something he had been thinking about, and suddenly found a solution.

The shortage of labor in the Qingque tribe has been alleviated to a great extent with the addition of ten adults from the original pig tribe led by Yan, as well as the healing of the injuries of Ruhua and left and right lame.

However, as the area under rape and millet cultivation expands, there will be a shortage of labor again.

And now, there are nine new members of the deer herd, and seven doe are growing their bellies, and it won't be long before a few more fawns will be born, and the size of the deer herd will break through the thirty-five mark in one fell swoop.

The rabbit is still alive as always, especially after adding eight new hares to it, it is even more tormenting, and now, the size of the rabbit herd has exceeded three hundred.

For this reason, a few days ago, Han Cheng had to pull out manpower and nearly double the size of the rabbit pen.

The pheasants that were raised in captivity also hatched two litters, including the large and small ones, and there were twenty-nine of them.

Oh, by the way, now I'm going to lick and add three more lambs.

There are so many mouths, all of them need to eat, and it takes a lot of manpower just to get grass for these guys.

Not to mention the rest, the daily consumption of these more than 300 rabbits alone is amazing enough, these rectal guys, pull and eat when they eat, they are simply more than 300 forage grinders that work non-stop.

Two people are dedicated to harvesting grass for them to keep up with this terrifying rate of consumption.

Now that there is no winter, Uncle Deer takes his tribe out to fight every day, and there is no need to feed more, once the snow falls in winter, Uncle Deer refuses to go out again, the consumption of forage will become more amazing.

Two months earlier, the number of people harvesting grass had become four, and it wasn't long before it became six more.

After all, the Qingque tribe has no food, and the winter rations of these guys all depend on the grass after harvesting and drying, and they can't have a lot of reserves.

As the saying goes, food is full of thoughts**.

The people of the Qingque tribe are now not short of food and drink, in the past, there was usually only large-scale restlessness in spring, but now that they eat well, they are basically not very timed.

Sowing and sowing are diligent, and the land is fertile soil instead of wasteland, and the survival rate of seeds is naturally greater.

For example, one of the spouses of the elder brother gave birth to a child before the flowers bloomed in the spring, and now, the belly is big again, and it is estimated that after the heavy snow falls in winter, he will give birth again.

The existence of a large number of pregnant women has also greatly reduced the available manpower of the Qingque tribe.

Although today's pregnant women, mothers, and children are far less expensive than those of later generations, the impact on labor is certain.

After all of this is combined, one problem is once again in front of the Qingque tribe, and that is the lack of manpower.

Regarding the lack of labor in the tribe, Han Cheng has always considered it, and with the experience of the integration of the pig tribe, he will naturally hit the idea on these neighboring tribes around him.

However, the opportunity for the pig tribe to merge into it is unavoidable and not easy to copy.

The Teng Snake Tribe suffered a big loss in its own place last year, and lost a lot of manpower, so it is estimated that it will not come to the vicinity to find fault in a short time.

Without such a powerful external enemy, it would be difficult for these tribes to integrate into their own tribe like the pig tribe.

Launching a war, attacking the surrounding tribes, killing a batch of their adult men, killing children who are taller than wheels, and then capturing all the remaining people to the Qingque tribe, such a thing Han Cheng also thought about.

After thinking about it, I still gave up.

After getting out of the wall, the people of the Qingque tribe cannot form an absolute advantage over the surrounding tribes, in this case, their own casualties are certain, and the number is not small.

People are emotional animals, and he is not a hero, so he naturally doesn't want to see people who have been with him for so long die, so he can only put aside the idea of launching a battle to annex other tribes for the time being, and think of adopting gentle means.

As early as the time of the Joy Meeting, Han Chengcheng began to prepare, and through a series of means, he worked hard to leave the seeds of wealth and strength of the Qingque tribe in the hearts of these people, so that they would yearn for the Qingque tribe.

Then, through trading, the connection between several tribes and the Qingque tribe was strengthened, and their cognition was constantly strengthened, and their hearts were gathered by boiling frogs in warm water, and peaceful integration was slowly realized.

It's just that such methods are not mature enough, or the strength is not strong enough, so that the leaders of these tribes will abandon their tribes and lead people to join the Qingque tribe.

Han Cheng has always considered this problem, but there has been no practical solution, until today, when the leader of the Green Tribe entangled the sheep tribe he met on the road, carrying the exchanged pottery back to theorize, this problem was suddenly solved, making Han Cheng have a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Salt!

It's salt!

The deliciousness of salt is hard to refuse again if you have tasted it.

In the thousands of years of recorded history, salt has left a strong mark in successive dynasties, and in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period or the earlier Xia, Shang and Western Zhou periods, the feudal kingdoms that relied on boiling salt to make a profit have always existed, and all of them are extremely rich.

Later, after the monopoly of salt and iron, the salt tax became an extremely stable source of national tax revenue.

It was not until later, under the bombardment of strong ships and cannons, that the people who advertised civilization did extremely barbaric things, and the drunken people gradually woke up from the dream of the heavenly kingdom, the decaying dynasty was overthrown, the salt was mass-produced, and the salt tax was gradually abolished......

Now the Qingque tribe is guarding the salt mountain, but in the era when Han Cheng lived before, salt has long become an extremely common and very cheap thing, and under the influence of this concept, he has not realized the huge impact of salt in other aspects.

Now that he was awakened by the words of the leader of the Green Tribe, he suddenly felt enlightened.

The primitive tribes did not eat salt at the beginning, such as the Qingque tribe, such as the surrounding neighboring tribes, and lived without salt.

These tribes, who had eaten salted food at the Joy Party, were still able to resist the temptation of the food after returning home, and only came to exchange it a few months later, which can be seen.

However, the habits are slowly formed, and Han Cheng is now providing them with salt for free, so that all these tribes can develop the habit of eating salt.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Primitive man is also a human being, and there is no escape from this theorem.

When their mouths, tongues, stomachs and stomachs get used to the taste of salt, they will be extremely uncomfortable when they eat food without salt.

At that time, the bold Blue Sparrow tribe, led by their kind and somewhat silly gods, will begin to show their fangs......

Thinking of this, Han Cheng couldn't help but show an extremely treacherous smile on his face.

Under Han Cheng's explanation, it took a while to figure out the two senior brothers and the two senior brothers, looking at their gods, with a look of high mountains and looking up.

The Son of God is worthy of being the Son of God, and such twists and turns can be thought of.

They only thought that giving salt for free was a matter of harm to themselves and others, but they did not expect that the Son of God would actually set such a big trap with this.

In this way, their Qingque tribe will definitely grow and become the largest tribe in the vicinity!

Thinking of the grand scene after several tribes all joined the Qingque tribe, Wu couldn't help but tremble, and his old face became a little flushed from being too excited.

The elder brother was also very excited.

He carefully recalled the scene of drinking unsalted broth every day, and he was full of rejection.

The plan of the Son of God will definitely come true!

This is the most sincere hope of the two, and it is also their faith in the Son of God.

When Han Cheng first arrived, there were only ten adult men in the prime of life in the Qingque Tribe, and this also included lameness, which was inconvenient for his legs and feet.

Later, as Tietou and Heiwa grew up, six adult men from the pig tribe joined, and the number of adult men increased explosively, reaching as many as eighteen.

There were twenty-eight adult women at the beginning, and with the addition of the strong adulthood, and the addition of three female prisoners of war such as Huahua and left and right lameness, and the integration of the four female primitives of the pig tribe, there are now thirty-six.

The number of older primitives has not increased, and there are still only three Wu, Huo One, and Huo II.

This is understandable, after all, this is a primitive era, and for various reasons, it is not easy for people to live to an old age.

There were thirty-five children at the beginning, eight were born last year, one died and seven remained, this year fourteen have been born, two have died and twelve remain, and four are in the womb, waiting to be born.

In addition to the three adult people of Heiwa, Tietou, and Zhuang, there are fifty-one minors in the Qingque tribe.

Among them, the number of children between the ages of zero and four who do not have any ability to work is the largest, accounting for almost half of all minors.

There are a total of fifty-four adults in the Qingque tribe who are capable of working.

The old man and the child also have fifty-four, which is equivalent to one adult having to provide for one, and this proportion is not low compared to the future generations.

Fortunately, at this time, you only need to provide food, clothing and housing, and the cost of raising children is far less high than that of later generations, otherwise, there will be the Qingque tribe and Han Chengshou.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, as of now, there are a total of one hundred and eight adults and children in the Qingque tribe, which is secretly in line with the number of Tiangang and Earth in the Water Margin.

Of course, this can't be counted as someone Han who acts as the son of God.

An adult soul has the body of a minor, and he doesn't know what kind of person he should attribute himself to.

Except for a few children who died shortly after birth, no one in the Qingque tribe died during this time.

This may seem a little unreasonable, but as long as you carefully think back to the great changes that have taken place in their clothing, food, housing, transportation, life and production methods after Han Cheng's arrival, you will not feel unreasonable.

Such a force is already first-class among the nearby tribes, and only the Bone Tribe can compare with it.

Of course, if you only count according to the number of adults, the bone tribe will faintly suppress the blue finch tribe.

But since Han Cheng, a traverser, entered indiscriminately, the measure of strength has changed.

The criterion for measuring strength is no longer the number of people, but also the soft power of houses, weapons, food reserves, and culture......

When it comes to comprehensive strength, even the Teng Snake Tribe, which has a large population, is not comparable to the Qingque Tribe.

Of course, in terms of combat power alone, after getting out of the wall, the Qingque tribe can't do the Teng Snake tribe.

This is the sequelae of rapid development, because there are too many areas to improve, and there are too few people available, so we can only do one thing first.

The foundation of the Qingque tribe has been almost laid now, and in the future, while taking into account the development of other aspects, Han Cheng will also have to consider gradually tilting his strength towards combat power.

Otherwise, it would be really aggrieved to let the Qingque tribe follow the path of the Song Dynasty.

He didn't want to be a person like Zhao Laoer.

This guy played a good hand of cards left by Song Zu Zhao Boss, not to mention, and directly brought the Great Song Dynasty to the ditch, for hundreds of years, until it was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, and it did not slow down.

In the final analysis, the problem lies with Zhao Laoer.
