At this moment, Tinch was like a slave owner, cherishing the food he had given him and believing it to be his property. He hoped to be able to obtain more property by feeding more slaves through food. Those who stop him are his enemies!

"All three of you have been punished, but it's not enough. Ben, take this knife, go and cut off the left ear of each of them and feed it to the dogs! ”

After speaking, Ding Qi pulled out the straight knife at his side and handed it to Ben. And Ben also faithfully carried out Ding Qi's arrangement, screamed three times, and three ears fell to the ground, and Ben took it and fed it to Xiao Hei who was squatting on the side.

Ben couldn't take his eyes off when he used this straight knife, such a sharp tool was too powerful! But in the end, he reluctantly handed the knife back to Ding Qi.

"As for you, Fox, you behaved very well, you didn't run away, and you were able to persuade the three of them not to run away. I'm going to reward you for becoming the captain of several of them, and I'm going to give you a weapon to work with you - a whip, which I'll give you later. The whip is a symbol of your role as a manager of the slaves, and you can whip them. But from this day forward, if you find any more people in your squad trying to escape, then you will be able to sit together, and all the members of the team who escaped will kill the pets that were fed to me. ”

At this moment, Ding Qi's heart is unwavering, he is like a hard-hearted slave owner, who treats slaves who dare to resist with cruelty, and has to be gracious and powerful, and create disharmony within them.

"There is merit, but you have also done it. When the three of them were about to resist and flee just now, and you didn't step forward to stop it, then the investigation time for you to become a member of the Ding tribe was extended from half a year to one year. Remember, the reason for all this is that someone is disobedient. What I need is obedient people! ”

Ding Qi turned his head to look at the three people who were about to escape:

"As for the three of you, feel my kindness to you, this is your last chance, if you dare to run away again, it will not be your ears that will be eaten! Assuming the three of you survive, of course! ”

After saying that, Ding Qi asked the fox to bandage the three of them to stop the bleeding, and ordered them to start carrying the basket full of limestone on their backs, including the injured jackals, they were no exception, if they didn't want to die, they had to carry them on their backs.

Ding Qi is not a saint, he wants to survive in this primitive society full of crises, and by the way, lead the ancient ancestors to survive and develop together. Development requires people, especially in primitive times, who do not necessarily have to be slave owners, but the means cannot be too gentle. Or it could set up a competitive model for the development of the tribe, which in modern parlance is called incentives and punishments.

If you resist, you will be punished, and if you do what you are told to achieve your goal, you will be rewarded. It seems that it is not bad to be the chairman of a primitive tribe, manage subordinates well, introduce all kinds of talents, use the advanced knowledge they have mastered, develop high-tech, and develop the tribe to flourish, not to mention dominating the world, at least no one dares to provoke, it seems to be very good!

The return journey was a bit slow, which was a little mercy that Ding Qi gave to the trio in his tough attitude.

As he passed by the unknown ore, Ding Qi picked up a dozen more pieces of the same ore and put them in his basket, preparing to go back and burn a furnace to see what kind of metal it was.

Near noon, Ding Qi piled up the limestone and other stones in the ash kiln, and then returned to the creek to wash, just when they came across the stag, they returned with a full load, and caught a lot of animals, dead and alive, not only to increase the meat but also to increase the number of domesticated animals.

Back in the courtyard, Tinch arranges for the Witch to clean the wounds of the three jackals. Although he was left to fend for himself, Ding Qi still considered the problem from the perspective of manpower needs, gave them some treatment, and left it to fate whether they could survive or not.

And after seeing the situation of the three people, the buck also asked Ding Qi what happened. Ding Qi briefly talked about the experience, and once again clarified the tribe's measures to treat the captives, and the captured captives in the future will be divided into small teams to manage.

After lunch, Ding Qi arranged to boil hot water and brewed a bowl of dandelion tea for everyone, and a group of people sat in the open space and felt the smoke curling in the bowl, so comfortable. Ding Qi just wants to use this subtle way to get everyone used to drinking hot water. No longer drink raw water as before, to avoid parasites entering the human body, but also to detoxify, anti-fatigue, improve the body's resistance, and drink hot water to quench thirst. Not to mention, drinking hot water has become a requirement of the patriotic health campaign, whether it is the call to "repeatedly educate the masses to drink boiled water and disinfected water, not raw water", or similar to the "Rural Health Center Textbook", which is intended to drive the masses to develop a good habit of drinking boiled water.

For the sake of the health of the tribesmen, Ding Qi does not mind integrating this activity into all aspects of daily life and has a vigorous health and hygiene activity. At the same time, Ding Qi did not forget to bring the word tea to everyone, but he did not expect that two years later, it would become popular among all tribes.

Comfortably drinking hot tea, the people in the field made two jokes from time to time, he said an interesting thing that happened during the hunt this morning, this person said about the embarrassment of the flower being overturned by the sheep while cleaning in the yard, and everyone laughed to release the fatigue of the morning's labor.

After resting for half an hour, Ding Qi announced the start of the afternoon's work, and asked everyone to finish early, give everyone a haircut and a unified bath in the evening, and told the peach to prepare more hot water for boiling water. As for the three wounded captives, they were handed over to the red deer, who had also been injured and had not yet recovered, and asked him to cooperate with them in mowing the grass, skinning, and tidying up the yard.

Ding Qi took the stag and Ben to the ash kiln first, handed Ben two shovels, and he led the five fox men to dig the soil, water, spread grass, and step on the mud, and prepared to make adobe, and brought the molds for making adobe.

He then led the members of their hunting party to the edge of the forest, where they demonstrated how to cut down trees with hand axes and long-handled fire axes, and then how to saw trees with hand saws. When these two artifacts were taken out, everyone's eyes instantly turned red, and when they saw the speed of cutting down and sawing trees so fast, the stag directly led all the team members to bow to the ground, calling the gods alive. Ding Qi was really embarrassed, so he had to encourage everyone, as long as everyone did a good job, each of these axes and saws could have one in the future, even including hunting weapons, even two.

Everyone listened to it as if they had beaten chicken blood, there was no saw and axe to use, and they directly used the stone axe they brought with them to start cutting down trees, and the strength was as if he was using a real metal axe, and the result could only be that the stone axe was shattered, and Ding Qi was also a big head.

As Tinch stood there and watched them divide their work and begin to use two axes and a saw to cut wood, he once again instructed them to take care of these tools, especially the saws. He then left Hei there to help them take care of the surroundings, then turned around and took the cutie back to the kiln again.

Recently, Xiaobai has become more and more attached to the deer, and he is a little ignorant of Ding Qi, the owner. So Ding Qi rarely brought it out, let it guard in the yard, and only brought the other three pets out. The little cutie is always very cold, following Ding Qi closely before and after, even if he leaves for a while, he will not go far. Xiao Hei is very obedient, and does whatever he asks him to do, faithfully carrying out Ding Qi's arrangement. Xiao Jin is more free, as long as there is nothing to do, he will walk around the surrounding woods by himself, and catch a squirrel and rabbit to eat, which makes Ding Qi feel very relieved.

When he came to the ash kiln, Ben was working with the five captives in full swing. The place where they dug the ground was Ding Qi had already calculated the location of the brick kiln to be built, with a diameter of three meters, and after digging to the position of three meters below, they dug a pit five meters long, two meters wide and three meters deep at two meters apart, which will be used as a passage for the brick kiln to enter and exit.

In addition to being used to make adobe, the excavated earth will be piled up into a two-meter-high and half-meter-thick dome with a circular pit surrounded by mud, and gradually closed at the top, and when the mud is dry, a layer of soil half a meter thick will be piled on top of it, and the kiln will be built.

Using the time before the kiln is completed, you can make bricks in large quantities, and you can burn the bricks after drying, and you will not waste too much time. As for the charcoal used in the kiln, it will also be fired in large quantities, and what the bucks are doing now is preparing the wood for burning charcoal in advance.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Ding Qi saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he went to the ash kiln, poured a large pile of charcoal into the ash kiln with a bamboo dustpan, and put all the unknown ore that had been piled up there into it, and put another layer of charcoal on top of the ore. After covering the slate, Ding Qi brought a thicker pottery bowl and placed it under the chamber to catch the possible metal liquid.

Why put the pottery bowl in advance? Ding Qi currently has no suitable holding tools, can only take a pottery bowl, and is afraid of hot and cold and bursting the pottery bowl, so he preheats the pottery bowl in advance to avoid the situation of frying the bowl.

When everything was ready, Tinkie lit the charcoal, picked up the hair dryer and began to blow air inside. After a while, the charcoal burned completely, and the high temperature emitted made Ding Qi feel very hot in this late autumn season, and after a while, he began to sweat.

After Ding Qi lifted the stone slab to see that it was all burned, he covered it tightly again, and continued to blow the wind inside, and in less than half an hour, a drop of silver-white liquid dripped into the pottery bowl. As time progressed, the bowl became more and more silvery liquid, and it was about to overflow. As a last resort, Ding Qi had no choice but to take another bowl and heat it on the stone slab, then use two semicircular planks to move the bowl out, put it aside, and quickly put another hot bowl in, and continue to receive the silver-white liquid.

Tinch was so engrossed in collecting the liquid that he didn't even bother with the Bucks when they came back to deliver the wood. As the liquid increased, Tinch was worried that the bowl would not be enough. Fortunately, there were pottery bowls fired before in the ash kiln, and Ding Qi took a total of five bowls of this silver-white liquid to end the smelting of this ore.

Looking at the liquid that was cooling, Ding Qi couldn't hold back his excitement in his heart. But there are also some apprehensions that they don't know what kind of metal this metal is. This silvery-white liquid is similar to the molten aluminum melted in the cast aluminum pot in the countryside in the past, and it makes people feel intimate when they look at it. But aluminum has a property, that is, after being in the air for a long time, the surface of aluminum will form a layer of oxide layer, and the color is not as white as before, and it is a little dull.

But it may also be the metal tin of his dreams, because the color of tin after melting is also silvery-white, and it has a shiny luster after solidification, and it will always maintain this color and luster after being in the air for a long time.

Due to the high temperature at which the charcoal is formed in the ash kiln, Ding Qi cannot distinguish between the two metals. But there is a relatively easy way to distinguish between the metal in the bowl and the tin that melts quickly after it is burned in a fire. Aluminum, on the other hand, requires a higher flame temperature to melt.

Of course, there is another metal, silver, which is similar to this one, except that it is not silvery-white, but a white metal, and silver is harder than aluminum and tin.
