Later generations generally believed that the biggest difference between humans and animals was that humans could make and use tools. Lin Ji felt that it made a lot of sense.

In the eyes of Lin Ji, the people of this era are actually no different from the people of later generations. In fact, in terms of happiness, maybe they are still happier than later generations. Although they had to face hunger and disease from time to time, they were in good spirits and had many spouses—the reason why they still lived this primitive life was because the development of tools had not advanced enough.

One axe can change a lot in a small tribe. If there were a hundred bronze tools...... Lin Ji explained the various uses of bronze tools to Lu Qiao. The most important role here is to conquer and open the way.

Needless to say, the role of conquest is self-explanatory. After the road is opened in the forest, the two tribes that were supposed to walk for a few days can reach it in a day or even half a day, and if there is anything that can be reacted immediately, the management will naturally be more efficient.

In this case, the same number of people can naturally manage more tribes and populations.

After listening to Lin Ji's words about this kind of benefit, Lu Qiao was greatly moved, but she thought of the price of the bronze and felt that Lin Ji had no reason to give it away in vain: "This Jijin, are you willing to give it to us directly?" ”

If this price is still a piece for two people, Lu Qiao feels that the previous ones are in vain. This price is tantamount to Youda constantly giving away people to Ji Lin, she wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Lin Ji said: "After we formed an alliance, it was naturally not this price. In the future, we will only charge the cost price of pottery. Pottery for a basket of meat. Ji Jin is more expensive, five baskets. ”

"Five baskets?" Midori exclaimed in a small voice. I feel extremely sorry for the five people I have given to Lin Ji in the past few days. You know, two people chop up about five baskets of meat. But how can five baskets of meat be exchanged for two adults?

Lin Ji smiled: "I can provide some to you in the early stage, and then give you meat later." If you don't have fresh meat, two baskets of jerky are fine. Or you can exchange one calf for another. ”

When Lu Qiao heard this, he realized that two adults were not as good as a bison calf, and his heart was even more unhappy.

Lin Ji didn't dare to continue on this topic, and coughed: "I will divide the eagle to your side, you should not hesitate." Now you also know that the eagles have no leader, and you have helped them to conduct sacrifices, and if you send some men to fight with them, and after you have destroyed the bream, you will build another road here and hunt the wild cattle with them. With a little more contact, they will refuse to join you? ”

"If you don't want to, I'll just draw this line back a little bit? I'm a big fan of those bison. Lin Ji said tentatively.

Lu Qiao immediately said: "I will take Youda's people to the Libi tribe tomorrow to help you kill the Liren." For the rest, I know that I am decided. ”

"Okay." Lin Ji felt that the matter was already halfway there.

Raising the alliance between the two tribes to divide the sphere of influence, preparing for the large-scale annexation of the surrounding tribes, the forest trail is stimulated by the white eye. It's a temporary idea.

In his later life, he was just an ordinary company clerk, just a small person. Character-speaking, he is not very firm in his work, so he has changed companies to work in later generations. Seeing the wind and making the rudder or doing things with will, naturally there is no shortage of things. Now it's a matter of will.

In his opinion, Bai Mu can master the Li bream tribe if he knows so much about fishing skills twice, and his follow-up methods are almost endless for this era, so why are you still cowering?

If 300 people are not enough, then get 3,000 people, and if 3,000 people are not enough, then get more.

The area he painted was tens of thousands of square kilometers. In addition to the majority of the tiger man, the remaining Ji Lin and Youda also occupy thousands of square kilometers each. On such a large land, Lin Ji doesn't believe that people can't be found. If you really can't get it, Lin Ji will cross the Yangtze River to get it, or go to Yunmengze in the west to get it.

As for the issue of food, after the start of farming, with the current per capita proportion of land, there is basically no need to worry.

In the case of sweet potato, it is planted by cuttings, and as long as there are seedlings, it can be expanded indefinitely. Ji Lin is also in the process of reclamation and expansion. It's just that progress has slowed down now. If the progress is accelerated, it will not be a problem to grow hundreds of acres a month.

This thing can be planted until July, and it should be harvested before the snow falls in October. It's just a matter of how much. But no matter how much, even if the yield per mu is 100 catties, it is much better than going out to dig and collect.

The sweet potato seeds used in Lin Xi were domesticated and improved by later generations, and he did not believe that the yield of such seeds would be low.

Lin Ji said that he asked Lu Qiao to go to Ji Lin to have a look, just to give them some sweet potatoes to plant back. Once Youda knew that food could be obtained so easily, perhaps they would expand faster than the forest trails.

When Lin Ji and Youda form an alliance and help them expand, the intention is very obvious. That is to let them help distract the attention from the tiger man. Anyway, there are endless means for the follow-up development of Lin Ji, and he is not worried that Youda will surpass him.

He is now giving up his benefits for time, as long as his strength is enough, the tiger is ...... Don't you have to sacrifice Hu Yi'er obediently?

On the second day, a few of Youda's people left the owl and returned to Youda to report back. The people of the other tribes also returned to their tribes with their new men.

This gathering gave them a lot of stories that could be told under the bonfire, but they didn't know that because of this gathering, their peaceful and beautiful prehistoric days were also gone.

Ji Lin's men turned south with their baskets on their backs, followed by more than 20 warriors led by Lu Qiao. and nearly thirty warriors of the tribe of the Eagles.

The group spent a day rushing to the forest trail to capture the waters of Baime, the headless corpses at the scene were covered with crows and vultures, and the jackals had round bellies, and they were not afraid to see people.

These are common scenes in the forest, and no one looks at them much. Lin Ji led them to the other side and said to them, "I have pulled up their canoe, you can see if it fits......"

As the purpose of future generations, the forest trace is that everything has a price. These canoes were naturally tattered wood for the forest tribe, but they were somewhat useful and valuable to the wanderers and eagles, so he pulled a dozen of Li Doi's canoes ashore and put them away.

As a result, before he could finish his sentence, Lin Ji saw that the river beach where the canoe should have been placed was empty.

Crows and jackals eat carrion, it is impossible to eat wood. Lin Ji looked around and found that there were many traces of rattan being broken away.

Lin Ji patted his head and said, "Those people actually dare to come back?" This time it's a big problem. ”

Only the people of the bream would think of taking these canoes with them one by one. Even if others see it, even if they can row, they will only row one or two at most, and if there are many people, they don't need to break rattan. So there is only one truth: the escapees of the bream ran back and rowed the canoe away.

The disappearance of these canoes is nothing, but it reminds the forest that the bream has canoes, and when they attack the bream, they will face a water battle or water chase. That's where the headache comes in.

Of course he could get the speedboat out again. But now that he knew how many lakes there were, where could he catch up in that kind of open water? And he didn't really want to show it in plain sight. Sometimes, half-veiled deterrence is more powerful.

After listening to Lin Ji's analysis, everyone was a little worried. The people looked at the front and back of the team and said to Lin Ji: "Don't be afraid, there are many of us." ”

Lin Ji planned to let only some of Ji Lin's people attack Li Yi, and some people would carry the meat on their backs and take the people they had exchanged. Because Lin Ji is not worried about the people he has exchanged, he will not use them at this time.

Therefore, in fact, there are not many of them, and it is somewhat impossible to fully surround the Li bream.

"Let's go back and call someone, and row our boat out by the way." ”

"Bring more bows and arrows." Lin Ji commanded.
