The third trading fleet of the Xia country slowly docked on the bank of the river where the snake tribe lived first, and the five snake tribesmen who went to the Xia country as guests successfully returned to their homeland where they had lived for decades.

This time the Snake People tribe had nothing to trade, and the Third Trading Fleet soon left the snake tribe and continued to sail east.

The five people who got off the boat, including Ling, the next high priest of the snake tribe, were surrounded by people fishing on the river bank, and they wanted to know what the Xia kingdom that was suspected to be stronger than the snake tribe was like.

"Ye, you have gone to that Xia country, what is the Xia country like, is it the same as our tribe?"

"Leave, let's talk about it quickly, is the Xia country as big as our tribe?"

People who are familiar with each other have sent out inquiries, but no one dares to ask Ling, Ling is the next high priest appointed by the snake tribe, this is something that everyone knows, the high priest is the highest status person in the snake tribe, how dare ordinary people ask the high priest, they are not even allowed to look at each other, so everyone only wants to follow the spirit to the other four people in the Xia country to send an inquiry.

Seeing someone familiar asking her, the young woman named Ye hesitated for a moment before saying, "Everyone, please wait, we have to report the matter to the high priest first, and then tell after we have finished reporting." ”

In fact, these words were told by the spirit when the five people returned to the snake tribe from the Xia country, the five people of the snake tribe came to the Xia country, and were shocked by the various spectacular scenes of the Xia country, the gap between the snake tribe and the Xia country is like the gap between a hunting tribe of several hundred people and the snake tribe, the gap between the snake tribe and the Xia country is too big, and the Xia country is far stronger than the snake tribe.

The population of the Xia Kingdom, the life of the people of the Xia Kingdom, the products of the Xia Kingdom, the medical skills of the Xia Kingdom, and all aspects of the Xia Kingdom are beyond the reach of the Snake People Tribe.

Once upon a time, they thought that the snake tribe was the most powerful tribe on the earth, and now an even more powerful tribe appeared in front of them, and everything in the Xia Kingdom turned their minds upside down.

In order to prevent a bad impact on other tribesmen, Ling decided not to tell other people about the matter first, and waited until the report to the high priest was over, and the high priest decided whether to tell the other people about the affairs of the Xia country.

Hearing Ye's answer, the clansmen temporarily suppressed their curiosity about the Xia Kingdom in their minds, and everyone made a way for the five people, including Ling, Ye, and Li, so that the five of them could leave the riverbank area and walk towards their place of residence.

In the distance, Spirit noticed an old figure appearing in front of him, it was the High Priest.

Ling hurriedly ran forward, and the four people behind him quickly followed.

"High Priestess, we're back." Running to the high priest, Ling said respectfully to the high priest.

The high priest said with a smile on his face: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, go home first, about the affairs of Xia Kingdom, let's talk slowly." ”

The group entered the first dwelling place of the snake tribe and came to the house of the high priest, who asked everyone to sit down, and the spirit said, and the other four people supplemented it, and the high priest listened to it, and sometimes asked some questions for the five people to answer.

Hearing the description of the Xia Kingdom by Ling, Ye, and Li, the High Priest was also very surprised, the Xia Kingdom was indeed a very powerful tribe that was different from the snake tribe.

Surprise to surprise, the high priest has lived for so many years, and he no longer shows his exaggerated emotions.

It was not until night fell that Ling finished talking about what the five of them had seen in the Xia Kingdom, and finally Ling asked the High Priest, "High Priest, the clansmen want to know about the situation in the Xia Kingdom, should we tell them about the situation in the Xia Kingdom?" ”

The high priest thought for a moment before replying, "I can tell you that I hope that after you learn about the Xia Kingdom, which is more powerful than our tribe, you will work hard to develop our tribe into such a powerful tribe as the Xia Kingdom." ”

"I see."

Three days after the spirit and his party returned to the snake tribe, a "storm" swept through all the places of residence of the snake tribe, and the people of the snake tribe learned for the first time about the situation of the Xia country, which was more powerful than the snake tribe.

If the officials of the Ministry of Commerce of the Xia Kingdom knew about the changes in the Snake Man Tribe, they would definitely be surprised, because of the situation in the Xia Kingdom, the Snake Man Tribe has accelerated its development, and the Snake Man Tribe is still a magical tribe, if the Snake Man Tribe is given enough time, it is possible to reach the level of today's Xia Country in the future, or even higher.

……

As soon as Su Yan returned to Zhongjing City, Yue Qi, the Minister of Industry, came to the palace with a wooden box and sent the wooden box to Su Yan like a treasure.

"Wang, we've got the glass you need." Yue Qi said as she opened the wooden box, only to see some crystal clear, sleek in appearance, and glass beads of different specifications appear in the wooden box.

Seeing that it was glass, Su Yan picked up a glass bead from the wooden box with great interest and watched, it was indeed glass, although there was still a big gap with the glass that Su Yan needed, but as long as the glass was fired, it would be a very good start, and one day the glass that Su Yan needed would be able to be fired.

"The Ministry of Industry has done a very good job, giving you three second-class merits and six third-class merits to reward meritorious personnel, and you must continue to work hard and try to burn large pieces of glass."

"Wang, our Ministry of Industry will definitely fire the glass you need as soon as possible."

Su Yan doesn't know much about fired glass, at most he will find out the materials of fired glass, and now that the primary glass has been fired, the next step can only rely on the Ministry of Industry to work hard.

Su Yan knows that the Ministry of Industry can fire out the glass mainly due to the efforts of the people who have received eight years of education in the junior and senior schools, and the people who have received eight years of education, they have enough knowledge accumulation, and have the spirit of exploring the unknown.

Time passed day by day, from the beginning of spring to the advent of autumn, the foreign wars of the Xia Kingdom were one after another, the Japanese tribal camp and the fishing tribe with a population of more than 10,000 were successively annihilated by the Xia expeditionary army, and the cavalry troops far away in the city would go deep into the grassland every two months, and each time they would destroy a nomadic tribe, returning with a large number of prisoners and booty.

In addition, in the southeast and southwest of Zhongjing City, two areas where the new city will be established next year also broke out, and two teams composed of three teams of soldiers swept around the surrounding area of the new city, and found three tribes, one is a hunting tribe with only more than 100 people, one is a farming tribe with a population of more than 500, and the last is a farming tribe with a population of nearly 1,000.

With the strength of the two teams, the three tribes were wiped out with almost no losses, ensuring the safety of the new city area.

It didn't take long for the autumn harvest to end, and it was another year of good harvest.

At the time of the autumn harvest, the cavalry troops moved away from the city and into the steppe for the fourth time, and after nearly a month, as expected, the cavalry troops returned victoriously with a large amount of booty.

In a year, he went deep into the grassland four times, and returned with a large number of booty four times, as the lord of the city, Hu Nan gave up the matter of holding a celebration banquet in the whole city when the cavalry troops returned for the third time, and only the cavalry troops themselves held a celebration banquet.

The people of Chucheng were happy for the smooth return of the cavalry, and a large number of cattle, horses and sheep further accelerated the development of the Xia Kingdom, and there were also a large number of sheep that could eat meat and shear wool, but the happy residents of Chucheng did not know that because the cavalry troops went deep into the grassland four times in a row and destroyed four nomadic tribes, resulting in abnormal changes in the grassland.

To the west of the city, where it takes at least nine days to ride a horse from the city, is the residence of the Withgrass tribe this year, and when the grass in this area is eaten by the cattle, horses and sheep grazing by the Withergrass tribe, the withered grass tribe will find a new place to live.

The Withered Grass Tribe is a large nomadic tribe with a population of more than 2,500 people, grazing more than 30,000 cows, horses and sheep.

Because the remnants of the Wind Tribe and the remnants of the White Horse Tribe joined the Withered Grass Tribe one after another, the Withered Grass Tribe got a very terrible news from the new tribesmen, a strange tribe suspected of being from farming for a living but having cavalry, the cavalry of this tribe successively destroyed the Wind Tribe and the White Horse Tribe, and only a few people from each tribe escaped with their lives.

The leader of the withered grass was worried that his tribe would also be attacked by that powerful tribe, so he hurriedly moved when spring came, thinking that in this way he would be able to stay away from the powerful tribe and not be attacked by the powerful cavalry.

A few days ago, the Withered Grass Tribe encountered a team of only more than 50 people, the people in the team are all adults, nearly half of them are men, and the rest are women, after they learned about the situation of the Widry Grass Tribe, they chose to join the Widry Grass Tribe and become the new members of the Withered Grass Tribe, and the leader of the Withered Grass welcomed these newcomers to join.

At this time, the leader of the withered grass learned a terrible news from the new tribe, the cavalry of the powerful tribe that frightened the withered grass tribe to move appeared again, and it was only a little more than a day's journey from the current residence of the withered grass tribe.

The situation that the leader of the withered grass learned was not only so simple, but the more than fifty people who had just joined the withered grass tribe were actually from two tribes, and the two tribes were named tribe No. 1 and tribe No. 2 respectively.

First of all, in the spring of this year, Tribe 1 was wiped out by the same cavalry troops, and only more than 20 people escaped for their lives, and these more than 20 people met Tribe No. 2, and after learning about the situation of Tribe No. 2, the survivors of Tribe No. 1 chose to join Tribe No. 2.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the No. 2 tribe was also discovered by the cavalry unit, and after a fierce battle, the No. 2 tribe was unsurprisingly annihilated by the enemy, and only more than 50 people escaped, and only six of the more than 50 people were from the No. 1 tribe.

In the course of three years, the Withered Grass Tribe encountered the remnants of four tribes, and all four tribes were defeated by the same enemy, whether there would be more tribes destroyed by this powerful enemy, but the Withergrass Tribe did not know that the sudden appearance of a powerful enemy seriously threatened the survival of the Withergrass tribe and other nomadic tribes.

"If this can't go on, will our tribe continue to move far away next spring?" The leader of the withered grass thought to himself.

Don't look at the nomadic tribe because the grazing cattle, horses and sheep need to eat grass and move every year, in fact, the nomadic tribe also has a certain range of moving, after all, the nomadic tribe is familiar with the place is so big, there is no other situation, and it will never move to a strange place, because there may be a more powerful nomadic tribe living there, isn't this the initiative to send death?

The current residence of the Withered Grass Tribe is almost the farthest area that the Withered Grass Tribe is familiar with, and further away, it is an unfamiliar area, the future is uncertain, and there is a powerful enemy behind it that continues to devour one nomadic tribe after another, and the leader of the Withered Grass is also afraid that when that enemy discovers the Widry Grass Tribe, and then the Widry Grass Tribe will be destroyed.

Because of the news of the arrival of the newcomers, not only the leader of the withered grass tribe is worried every day, but many people are very frightened, afraid of the sudden arrival of the enemy.

The people of the Withered Grass tribe also gave a name to the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom, the Black Tribe, that is, the black helmets and black armor and black horses, and the Xia cavalry left an indelible impression on the remnants of the four tribes.

Fortunately, winter is coming in a few dozen days, and the possibility of the Withered Grass Tribe encountering the Black Tribe this year is very low.

"Chief, let's move, this time we'll move farther away, away from that black tribe."

"Moving? Moving to those strange places, our tribe may encounter other powerful nomadic tribes, what to do when the time comes. ”

"The most fearful thing is to move to a distant place, and then the black tribe will appear near our tribe again."

The people of the Withergrass tribe were talking about finding a good solution to the danger, but they didn't find an effective solution that most people agreed on.

At this time, a young member of the Withergrass tribe came up with a method that no one had thought of.

"Chief, I have an idea, the black tribe is so powerful, I don't know how many nomadic tribes have been destroyed, we can tell this news to other nomadic tribes, under the threat of the black tribe, the various nomadic tribes can unite against the black tribe, no matter how strong the black tribe is, it is impossible for multiple nomadic tribes to unite the opponent, we can not only fight against the black tribe, but even completely wipe out the black tribe."

Hearing this, before the chief could speak, other clansmen expressed their opinions on the method proposed by the young clansmen.

"Good way, the Black Tribe is so powerful, our Dry Grass Tribe is not an opponent, then we will unite with other nomadic tribes to fight against the Black Tribe."

"This method is a bit difficult, will other nomadic tribes unite with our tribe?"

"How can you know if the nomadic tribes will unite without trying?"

"You can give it a try." This is the voice of the chief.
