Chapter 1: Setting Up the Camp

After breakfast, everyone began to get busy, Shi led a group of people to cut wood and collect materials, while Shang Wuzhu and Crow began to choose the location of the early excessive residence.

Last night, there was a snake attack, and Shang Wu didn't have time to see what this new home was like in the future. Shang Wu and the Raven, along with the guards, began to explore the new land on horseback.

This is a plain isolated by the surrounding mountains, with three narrow mountain paths, which are consistent with the situation of the previous lieutenant general of the stone, but there is one difference, that is, instead of two waterways, one is a freshwater waterway, and the other is a dry road, which must only appear when the amount of water is very large, and this dry road has a thick layer of yellow and white crystallization.

Shang Wu tasted the white crystals, salty and salty, clean is an excellent quality salt, no matter how good the quality of the salt used by the merchant team along the way, it will be mixed with some bitter taste, Xiaoyu has to use a variety of ingredients and spices to change this bitter taste every time he cooks food for Shang Wu.

The yellow crystal taste is much worse, the taste is bitter, this salt should be more impurities and impurities are toxic, long-term consumption must be harmful to the body.

The group searched for the source along the waterway and the dry road, the source of the waterway flowed out at the foot of the mountain, the source of the waterway was pressed by the mountain, and the water was sweet and warm and hot, indicating that the source of the water vein was determined by the underground water system.

The source of the dry road is at the foot of the mountain at a small small pool, the water surface in the small pool is not calm, from time to time there are waves on the thick layer of salt wall, is photographed salt water down the dry road.

Shang Wu and Raven first planned the location of the camp, and the role of the whole camp was to settle the entire convoy first, and then expand it into a town on the basis of the camp.

Shang Wu and the crow chose a piece of flat land with a slope at a high place, so that when it rained, the water would flow down the slope so that it would not accumulate water, and after selecting the site, they began to plan the scope of the building location. The new materials obtained from logging are also collected next to the side to be cut into suitable timber for unified scheduling.

Building a house does not need to worry about the two laymen, Shang Wu and Crow, although the business still lacks many talents, but it is no problem to build a larger wooden house.

The most important thing is not the house, which was a wake-up call from last night's snake attack, but the need to build a fence along the chosen area and build three high platforms to look out for danger and enemy situations.

Now the settlement advance team is divided into multiple routes:

1. Cutting timber and finding beams;

2. Transportation of timber;

3. Chop and cut the wood for later use;

Fourth, fence and build a high platform;

5. Dig the foundation of the house and prepare the sand and gravel;

6. Hunting and picking three meals for cooking.

The main thing to do is to arrange the manpower, and after the assignment, he will take people to find the beams, and the crow, the principal, has to do the site selection and plan the density and location of the room, and is also responsible for the configuration of the insect repellent beast medicine, and arrange it properly inside and outside the fence before night to avoid the danger of last night from happening again.

Shang Wu was so tired that he couldn't do it after exploring around on horseback, and he didn't sleep well all night and consciously climbed into the carriage and fell asleep.

Shang Wu slept very deeply, and when he woke up, the fence had been fenced off, the high platform had been erected, and several large houses had been quickly erected, and when the beams arrived, they could be largely completed.

Shang Wu was still sitting in the carriage and waiting for the crows to have dinner together.

In this spare time, Shang Wu began to plan what the new name of this new home should be, and how the next business should go on.

Shang Wu began to sketch a picture of this new home in his mind, and Shang Wu also knew how terrible it was to expect human kindness and public opinion to be overflowing.

Shang Wu wants to confirm the rules at the beginning to achieve rewards and punishments, whether it is a merchant or an outsider, they must be treated equally, so as to convince the public, and it will also make people spontaneously seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and take the initiative to do what they want them to do, to avoid things that will be punished, and the future of faith and certainty in sacrificial divination will be the easiest way to unite people's hearts.

Shang Wu will prepare three hands next, and one hand is clear:

Through doorposts, stones, small fish, and other people, these people are used to build this new home, and a simple and clear system of rewards and punishments needs to be implemented.

Strengthening the role of the elderly in the family and letting them firmly grasp the hearts of the clansmen is the basic plate of the business, which must not be shaken.

The last hand is to control public opinion and the hearts of outsiders through crow sacrifices, beliefs, and divination.

As for the future, Shang Wu didn't think so much, Shang Wu only knew that when the troika was firmly established, it would be advisable to wait for the heirs to multiply and rely on multiple generations to grow the current new home, or to gather more outsiders through prosperity and let them grow this new home through the system.

As for the official positions of the Shang Empire recorded in the merchant classics, such as: Yin who assists in decision-making, who is in charge of recording and keeping the records of the classics, who is in charge of divination, who is in charge of praying to ghosts and gods, and the chief of military attachés, and the chief of music and work, such as Taishi and Shaoshi; The chief of the hundred workers, the Si who is in charge of the grain collection, the animal husbandry who is in charge of animal husbandry, the beast who is in charge of hunting, the wine who is in charge of wine, the Che who is in charge of the king's chariot, the service (also known as the servant and the royal) for the royal car of the king of Shang, the guard military attache Ya, the guard Ya brigade, the elder of the country who is in charge of educating the children of the nobles, and the old man who is in charge of the foreign fields and other affairs officials These official positions can be managed very finely, but now the foundation is still too thin and there are many things that do not have those deacons, and now even musicians, education, history, etc. are blank and no one can deacon.

Shang Wu longed for the strength of the Shang Empire in his heart, and he also had the ambition to build such an empire in his heart, but he knew that the current foundation was too thin, and now he wanted to let the whole family survive first, and multiply the heirs, which was the top priority at the moment.

Shang Wu knew that some things were a little far ahead, but Shang Wu had the belief in his heart that even if this generation worked hard all his life, he would not be able to fight a city and a pool, but he would also become a rich man who could get rich, and it was only a matter of time before he became a big deal when the family member Ding Dawang became a big deal.

Thinking about it, Shang Wu began to think about the matter of choosing a name for this new home, but when Shang Wu and his party moved out, no one thought about giving Shang Wu a name for the village, Shang Wu didn't want to think about those people who had no ambition and only knew infighting, Shang Wu decided to give this place a good name, so that he could inspire himself and his descendants to complete a mission from time to time, whether it was the Zhou soldiers who chased into the Gupan Domain or the Zhou Dynasty in the outside world, Shang Wu wanted to avenge the forgotten Shang Empire.

If there was no such barbaric Zhou Fangguo taking advantage of the Shang Empire's annihilation of Dongyi, there would not be this human catastrophe, if the Shang Empire's army stayed in the imperial capital, although the Zhou Fangguo would not be destroyed, there would be no return, how could there be so many Shang Empire subjects who were killed and injured and served as slaves, Shang Wu felt a little heartache every time he thought about this, and he was also imagining that if there was no rebellion of Zhou Fangguo, the ancestor did not escape into this ancient domain, maybe the five sons of the ancestor would get along well, and it would not cause the kind of calamity that would have caused the merchant village later.
