In the first battle in winter, although the tiger man only lost 200 battles, the tiger man was a little helpless. Enemies come and go like the wind, fight when they want to, and leave when they want to, which is a real headache.

Now many people feel that only Lin Ji has a way to deal with the deer.

After unloading the salt and seafood for Human, Lin Ji also listened to them talk about the defeat of Xu Yu in winter.

Lin Ji said: "I'll go back and rectify it for a few days, and I'll go back to discuss with Aman." ”

Nearly half of the cargo was unloaded, and the ship's waterline was lowered a lot, so Lin Ji let Qingmu and others get on the ship. Hu Yi'er is back, and he has to go back to see Hu Aman first, but the first section of the river is to the north, and it is also feasible to take a boat and then go north and then get off the boat.

At this time, the south wind was blowing, and the two ships raised their sails, and suddenly they moved forward in the river like arrows off the string. quickly left behind the tiger barbarians who had been carrying salt and left in a hurry.

This made Qingmu and the tiger barbarians feel that something was wrong.

What are we doing when we unload the cargo so early?

……

The two boats almost came to a stop near the original Li bream tribe. The river is in the spring flood season, and the water depth is still passable. It's just that the river channel in front is narrow, and the branches and leaves of many trees grow into the river, and the mast of the killer whale is higher, and it is easy to be hung by branches if you go deeper. That's why they stopped near the Li bream tribe.

"Go back here and build a wharf and build a village. In the future, the boat that ran the Yangtze River stopped here. Lin Ji made arrangements casually. This is the place where Human and Ji Lin meet, and it is considered a hinterland, so it is relatively safe. Build a dock and don't have to worry so much about the attack of the wildlings. It's a good choice.

The more time it gets, the more Lin Ji feels that Ji Lin's geographical location is too restrictive. If you want to grow quickly, you have to replan a lot of things.

After stopping the ship, they bid farewell to Qingmu and Hu Yi'er and others, and agreed on the time and place of goodbye.

Lin Ji sent the ghost eagle back to send a message, and at the same time began to clear the ground, build a dock, and so on.

The crowd spent the night by the river, and the next day dozens of large and small canoes poured down from the upstream. This is the slaughter brought to usher. After saying goodbye, everyone loaded the goods onto the canoe, and the forest trail was changed to the Dolphin, and some people were left to watch the place, and everyone went to the Jilin tribe with a bang.

After a winter, the village has more than doubled in size, and Po Tu said that there are now more than 300 people living here, and more than 1,000 acres of land have been cultivated, and now it is ready to be cultivated.

All the way back, you can also see people running around on the riverside road from time to time. The road by the river seems to be a lot wider, too.

Lin Ji asked about the number of people who expanded in winter, but Po Tu deliberately didn't say anything, only said that he let Lin Ji go back to see for himself.

A few hours later, when he returned to the vicinity of Ji Lin, the ghost eagle had already hovered in the air in advance, and after coming out of a river bay, Lin Ji was about to let people lower their sails and slow down, when they suddenly heard a shout in front of them: "Qizi is mighty!" ”

The front is only near the third stockade. I saw that on the riverbank in front of the stockade, it was densely packed with people, and there were even calves, bighorn deer, and mammoths standing by the river, shouting and roaring together.

At a glance, the number of people is no less than 2,000.

"Don't play these imaginary things in the future." Lin Ji scolded with a smile, stood on the bow of the boat, and didn't let people drop the sails, so he waved his hand and passed in front of the crowd.

After passing the crowd, I dropped the sails and arrived in front of the first stockade. The leaders of all sizes came running from downstream and met them by the river.

These leaders came running, and they were followed by dozens of baby elephants and bighorn deer, and the scene was a little chaotic.

Xiaobai jumped off the boat and ran to the baby elephant herd to scratch for a while, but he couldn't do it happily. Because neither the canoe nor the Dolphin could transport the two baby elephants, the two baby elephants could only be ridden back, and it was estimated that they would arrive later.

"Beware of stepping on people." Lin Ji jumped down from the boat and hurriedly shouted. The baby elephant riders behind slowed down.

As soon as Lin Ji came ashore, he was immediately hugged and asked.

In the cracks, a chubby little girl pulled away from the crowd and squeezed in, reaching out to Lin Ji to hug her. This time, the black dog also learned to be obedient, and squeezed in with the little girl, not stopping at the foot of the forest trail and circling in circles.

Luo Que also squeezed into the crowd with teary eyes, Lin Ji picked up his sister and said to her: "I brought a lot of delicious food back, don't cry." ”

This caused everyone to laugh.

Da Ji saw that there were still people coming behind him, so he was afraid of crowding the forest traces, so he raised his voice and said, "People have just come back, they all disperse first, and what they want to say will be said slowly after eating." ”

Lin Ji went out for a few months and grew taller again, which made him look thinner, but it made Da Ji feel bad.

Da Ji, the nominal leader, is still quite influential in Ji Lin, she opened her mouth, many people were embarrassed to squeeze over again, and the rest of the people hugged the forest trails and walked into the village. It's just lunchtime, and all kinds of food have already been prepared, so I'm waiting for Lin Ji to come back and eat. The seafood brought back by the forest trails can only be kept until the evening.

Lunch is naturally abundant, and all the good things that Ji Lin has collected all winter have been made and presented to Lin Ruins.

After lunch, the supplies with the ship were packed, and the people brought back by Lin Ji were also arranged. Lin Ji gathered the leaders and listened to everyone make a detailed work report.

As the main person in charge of the stay, he spoke first, but he still asked Lin Ji a little pretentiously: "Guess how many people we have now?" ”

"Two thousand? Two thousand five? Three thousand? "The tribe numbered only about fourteen hundred when Lin Ji left, and that could be combined with the maimed and captured slaves that had been exchanged. It's hard for him to guess how many there are now.

"Three thousand five." Po Tu said proudly, "Basically, they have been here for more than two months. Only about 400 people came in the last two months. ”

When these people come, they are first trained in everything from thinking and behavior to hygiene and tribal rules. According to the previous practice, it would normally take three months to completely convert these people into Jilin.

Having snare 2,000 people in one winter, Po Tu and others are indeed something to be proud of.

And they are even more proud of the fact that the proportion of these people is relatively high. Of the 2,000 men, there were 800 men. These are warriors.

They will not be as long-term as Lin Ji, absorbing children and slowly cultivating them. For them, they can't work without combat power, so wait until they grow up. Ji Lin has enough children. Children from other tribes can't be raised.

Of course, these will not be reported in detail to Lin Ji.

After Po Tu finished collecting the population, Ying stood up and said: "During this time, more than 6,400 bronze weapons and farm tools were produced, more than 3,700 were sent out, and 2,700 were stocked. Among them, there were 1,100 agricultural tools and 1,600 weapons...... Now it's possible to produce about fifty pieces a day, producing other parts......"

"We have captured more than 30 baby elephants, and now there are 60 of them......

"We found the oak forest, and surrounded about 130 bighorn deer, but the location was closer to Youda's side. It's just a thing to watch, not a ......."

"Our meat reserves...... It's just a lack of salt, and it's broken a lot......"

All in all, everyone has not been lazy throughout the winter, and all kinds of work are thriving. The tribe had 1,200 warriors, 8,000 acres of land, bronze and bows and arrows were stable, and the scale of livestock was expanding.

After everyone finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Ji, wanting to hear his harvest.

Before Lin Ji could say anything, the hair arc that had been ignored spoke first. And his first sentence calmed everyone: "Qizi has become the god of the sea." ”

Poseidon? Everyone was first shocked by the gods, and then they saw the arc take out the photo of the forest trail riding a whale and let everyone see it.

"Keiko tames the most ferocious big fish in the sea, called killer whales. It is larger than a mammoth and is as fierce and hunting as a wolf. There is a tribe on the seashore that uses this killer whale as a totem, and as soon as they saw that Qizi tamed the killer whale, they directly attached themselves to us. Now the Monkey is over there to manage that tribe. Arc explained.

Keiko also built the sailboat in the river in front of him. The one you see is small, and there is a big one in the river downstream. Po Tu has also seen it. This kind of sailboat can run on the water day and night without human rowing. The big one could carry five hundred people at a time, and it could run as fast as a bighorn deer. ”

Everyone was amazed again, and they all looked in the direction of the sailboat in the river, and then someone remembered, no wonder they didn't seem to have seen anyone rowing before. And that capacity is much more powerful than a wheelbarrow.

Fa Arc took another map and spread it on the table and said, "Qizi went out this time, and he also made friends with many tribes along the Yangtze River. Those who followed back were invited from those tribes. Keiko said that by befriending these people, we can absorb these tribes into our members within three to five years. The tribes within this thousand kilometers will not be less in number than the people of the tiger barbarians. We've now subdued a tribe called Tigerband, and Victor has become the leader of that tribe......"

The map was drawn when the forest trails were out, and the tribes that I had visited and heard about were marked on it. Each tribe has its own territory, but it occupies almost the entire bank of the Yangtze River. It looks dense on the map.

"We also rescued Hu Yi'er, got back enough salt, all kinds of seafood, fish foam gum, whale oil and so on. We rescued Hu Yi'er, and the salt we got back was given to Hu Man, and in the future, Hu Man will be grateful to our Qizi. This is very beneficial for us to become kings. Whale oil is no worse than butter and elephant oil, the lights are very bright, and other seafood also has its own taste, everyone knows it at night. ”

Whale oil was made from a whale caught on the way back. Lin Ji remembered that it was more useful, so he brought some back. When used as an oil lamp at night, it will indeed be brighter.

The arc was robbed by the vermilion monkey of the errand of staying in the killer whale tribe, and after coming back, he was somewhat neglected, and he couldn't help but praise Lin Ji for his merits. Speaking of this, he coughed heavily a few times, indicating that he was involved in these things, and his credit was not small.

The crowd was amazed again. However, they knew that the forest trails were extraordinary, or they were accustomed to the miracles of the forest trails, but they quickly converted this amazement into envy for the people who went with them. What a glorious thing it is to create these with Keiko?

This made the hair arc finally raise his eyebrows.

Lin Ji was a little embarrassed by this praise, but his heart was extremely comfortable. But some of the statements of the arc were exaggerated, so he repeated the truth. At the end, I began to arrange various tasks.

The people invited along the way arranged for them to live in the tribe for more than three months, preferably for a year. During this time, it is best to let them follow the right people, let them learn the language, familiarize themselves with the habits, teach them farming techniques, etc. At the same time, tell them that there are differences in the requirements of faith.

In this way, come back and visit their tribe again, and these people can be the best guides and interpreters. Nor will they reject Ji Lin's beliefs and habits. At the same time, they can reap the benefits of farming, and they will be more willing to accept Ji Lin.

The children brought back from killer whales and tiger groupers are arranged to attend school normally. In addition to learning languages, these people will also be able to read and write, which will be cultivated as future management talents.

Forty to sixty people were selected, equipped with a certain number of farm tools, weapons, bows and arrows, and sent to Shenglu and Vermilion Monkeys along the ship. Family members such as Shenglu and Cao San's wife will also be sent with the ship.

After these people have passed, they should assist them in farming, building, organizing armies, expanding abroad, conducting certain education, and so on.

Organize spring ploughing and strive to complete the planting of the reclaimed fields.

……

After a series of work was arranged, everyone discussed the matter of fighting against the deer.

Po Tu said: "Now our number of bighorn deer is too small, although we have added some more people to the little elephant soldiers, but those little elephants are not as good as the big horned deer can listen to the command at all. What can you do to deal with the deer? ”

The baby elephants are still young, and now they are all playful, some baby elephants are taken away from the mother elephant, and there are still some emotions, and there are still many who will run away at any time for the time being. China Dolphin has been very careful, but the time is too short, and it is impossible to form combat power.

Lin Ji said: "We can't deal with the fast deer. I'm going to spend three to five years planning this. In fact, as long as we block some roads, they can't come close. We'll just develop our own. In the past few years, we can prepare first and then take them down in one go. ”

"Actually, I think the most important thing for us at the moment is not war, but education." Lin Ji added another sentence, but the details were not explained.

In fact, the reason is still that, to form an efficient and huge organization, it is simply impossible without words. Now Ji Lin has been learning knowledge for more than a year, and even people like Shouli can't recognize many words. It is not enough to develop the written word to the level of practical application.

Moreover, only when a certain level of literacy is reached, Lin Ji can better take out the books in the small town and use them. That's how the whole situation can be taken for a leap. Otherwise, he would have relied on him to teach everything alone, and he might not have made any major breakthroughs in his entire life.
