Chapter 115: Izuka's Transformation
By the time of September of the solar calendar, the autumn wind has blown the leaves of the grass and trees. Izuka returned to the edge of Gou Lake from the outside.
It is said that she didn't have to go for so long, but after she watched Ji Lin's sailboat, river, etc., she went to the surrounding vassal tribes to see it again.
Ji Lin's roads, sailboats, and ripe crops naturally had a great impact on her. She went to check on the surrounding tribes, but only on a temporary basis. In a way, she was somewhat tempted to question the tribes for concealing their population.
It's just that after she watched all the way, she gradually realized that she really didn't have the qualifications to question.
She has always lived in the hinterland of the tiger barbarians, and although she has experienced the fierce battle of hunting, she has not experienced much hunger and cold, and as long as she returns to the tribe, she basically does not have to worry about any safety issues.
In her mind, the Tiger Barbarians could live like this, Ji Lin could live better than the Tiger Barbarians, and the other vassal tribes would not be much worse.
After she went out, she found that some of the vassal tribes of the Tiger Barbarian were indeed doing well. But most of them were much worse than she thought.
Between summer and autumn, it is reasonable to say that food is at its most abundant, but some tribes still eat grass roots and bark at this time in order to store food for the winter.
She saw a child of several years old digging a deep pit that could bury a person in order to catch a nest of mice. I also saw the thin old man scooping up the entire puddle with his bare hands for a little catch. In the end, instead of eating the harvest, they took it back and dried it for the winter.
And these tribes were attacked by wild beasts, clashed with surrounding tribes, and killed all kinds of vendettas within the tribe, and saw a lot along the way.
But most of these tribes have built, or are in the process of building stockades with high walls but not too spacious, and a few sturdy wooden houses have been built inside the stockades.
Seeing them coming, the people of these tribes were enthusiastic. They couldn't stop thanking Ji Lin's people for their kindness and brought out the best food to entertain them.
With these stockades, the tribe doesn't have to worry about wild beast attacks. If you don't have to know how to hunt, men can hunt bravely. And proudly told Izuxia and others that as long as the men who went to Gou Lake came back, they would have weapons to hunt mammoths for the winter, and they would never have to worry about starving in the winter in the future.
At this time, Izuxia realized that before the tiger man took them to hunt, not only did they not get any benefits, but they suffered a lot because of this.
Seeing this, how could Izuxia still be in the mood to question them about hiding the population?
She still looked at the tribe behind her, and her mentality changed completely.
She no longer wanted to question the tribes, but to see how well their stockades were built, and whether they could build them against the herds of beasts from the north before the snow fell. She also asked Dunmu to count the tribes that were reluctant to exchange populations with Ji Lin and did not build a stockade, and was ready to go back to discuss with Lin Ji whether he could build a village for these tribes first, and replace people with other materials for bronzes.
When she returned to Gouhu, she also brought Hu Aman and a few Eminem with her. According to the custom, their tiger barbarians will gather at this time by the lake to hunt and prepare for the winter. I won't hunt this year, but how to arrange the people of the Tiger Man, it is actually difficult to get a unified opinion within the Tiger Man. Therefore, Hu Aman and the others also wanted to ask Lin Ji's opinion.
And when they returned to the lake, the scene here was different from previous years.
The walls to the west and north have been built. Like a dragon, it crosses the land of the hunting passage. The east and south walls are under construction, but only three meters high have been built to allow them to close before the snow. But it's also been stretched out for a long time.
Entering the gate, where the gates were not yet installed, an avenue leads through the walled cornfields and vegetable fields to the heart of the city. In the center of the city is a cornfield that has been set aside, and a cross-shaped avenue leads to the gates on all sides.
Around the cornfields in the city are thousands of houses, including the original wooden houses, which make people feel dizzy when they look at it.
If you look out of the city along the passage on all sides, you will also see corn standing on the hunting passage, waiting for someone to harvest.
Hu Aman, who was sitting on the back of a deer, was first shocked by the tall city wall, and after entering the city, he saw the endless cornfields and vegetable fields in the city, and sighed: "So, this is the meaning of Qizi's city?" ”
In her opinion, it is really better to build a city and plant these. In this way, no wild beast can come and steal the crops.
Having been around the forest for a long time, he knew more about the city's planning, explaining: "The planting in the city is temporary. When there are more people in the city, these things will slowly move out of the city. There are only people living in the city. ”
"Oh?" After Hu Aman entered the city, he looked at the vague city wall in the distance, and said in his heart, how many people have to live here?
Walking further in, he saw the cornfield in the city surrounded by houses, and Hu Aman showed a puzzled look again: "Why aren't all the houses built here?" ”
Dunmu said: "It is said that a central square will be built here, which is for everyone to gather." Maybe you can plant a little tree and build a palace or something. ”
"Planting trees?" Hu A Manxin said that it is indeed convenient for everyone to plant trees here, but the trees planted in such a place are not enough for so many people. Could it be that Keiko has any other tree that can be inexhaustible?
Hearing that Hu Aman was coming, Qing Mu and Lan Mu hurriedly came out and took Hu Aman to the big house built for her by the side of the road.
It is a tall blue brick house with transparent glass windows, and the interior is filled with leather chairs and round tables taken from the town. There is a separate kitchen and toilet room on the side. However, according to Qingmu's request, Lin Ji gave a large kang in the middle of the room. Hu Aman doesn't live in a small room. Those small rooms can only be used by the brute guards or Eminem.
As soon as Hu Aman entered this room, he liked it very much. The room was plastered with lime and let in glass windows, and the inside was as bright as the outside, much brighter than a tent.
The kang has been covered with thick fur, and a lot of newly planted vegetables have been placed on the table.
The scene of them eating around a round table is no different from the appearance of a group of monkeys eating around a round table. It's just that they don't fight.
When Lin Ji arrived, what he saw was the scene of everyone holding a vegetable bowl and eating. When you get tired of eating in your bowl, you can change it with the person next to you.
This made Lin Ji feel that he had thrown an eyebrow to the blind man. He had forgotten that Hu Yi'er had gone east to check on the corn, and it was estimated that he would not return until the evening. Qingmu Izuxia and the others did not eat at the round table.
Chuxia was holding a pot of spinach and eating, rummaging through it with her hands for a long time and seeing that there was no meat at all, and glared at Lin Ji. Later, when she saw that Lin Ji had greeted Hu Aman and others, she probably couldn't eat anymore, so she put down the bowl and said to Lin Ji: "I have something to ask you." ”
"You say." Lin Ji found a chair and sat down.
"Can you teach the men who come here how to make a strong bow?" Izukashi Road.
"Why is that?" Lin Ji couldn't figure out what the purpose of Izuka's statement was.
Izuxia sighed slightly: "I won't hunt this year, and if you give them bronze spears, they will think about hunting longhair." But where is the only spear to be enough? If you teach them how to make a strong bow, they'll have more weapons and a little more certainty. ”
She really sympathized with the people of those tribes and made this request. Now the practice of the Hemu Bow can also be used, but here, Lin Ji must agree to teach these things quickly. Maybe Lin Ji organized a teaching, and the whole church was taught at once.
"Or are you thoughtful. I'll arrange it. ”
Izuxia nodded and asked: "I see that many tribes still haven't built their own villages, and they are inevitably attacked by long hair or long teeth in winter, I want to ask you, can you not exchange the population first, give them the bronzes, and help them build the stockade before the snow?" ”
