Chapter 23: Overcrowding
After Lu Qiao came back from Ji Lin, he was almost busy without touching the ground. Ten days later, she took people to the Jilin tribe again.
In the past ten days, she talked to Dawu and agreed to form an alliance with Ji Lin.
She had a collective discussion among Youda's people, and she persuaded the entire tribe to return to the same place. Da Wu temporarily divided the tribe into two parts to manage, and she became Eminem of Xia Kata and Ou Er. It's called Qiaomu.
Yes, because she used bronze tools to open a passage between Youda and Ou Yu during this time, and successfully subdued Ou and the tribe became her subordinates.
Of course, these days, she also learned how to plant sweet potatoes with Ji Lin's people, and the dozen acres of sweet potatoes planted at the beginning have begun to sprout.
She also sent people to the surrounding tribes to listen to their voices and see if they were willing to join Youda and form a large tribe together. A few tribes have already given friendly replies, and almost a little more contact should be able to subdue.
Now Lu Qiao felt that it would only take two or three years of hard work for them to absorb all the surrounding tribes and complete the unification of the forces in the circle drawn by the forest traces.
She felt a little proud of this kind of efficiency when she thought about it.
This was also something that countless leaders of the Youda tribe wanted to do but failed to do before, but with a clue in such a short period of time in her hands, she had no reason not to be proud. The next witch, she thinks she won't be left behind.
She went to Ji Lin again, and a few people who had sent Ji Lin back. The second is to ask for more sweet potato seedlings and bronzes from Lin Ji by the way. The third is to confirm the matter of opening the road on both sides. The fourth is to tell Lin Ji that Da Wu will come to see Ji Lin's so-called autumn harvest, and ask Ji Lin to notify him when the time comes.
Of course, the most important thing in her heart was that she had to tell Lin Ji everything she had done, and tell Lin Ji that it was better to develop faster, and not to keep caring about two or three people changing like that, otherwise she would have to persuade Lin Ji to join them.
Even if Lin Ji is unhappy, she is not afraid, now she has a lot more people than Ji Lin, and the harvest of cattle hunting according to Lin Ji is also amazing, and when she turns around and waits for the hunt, they will open another road to get some food from the Hui Hunting side, and she can get enough food without relying on Lin Ji, she is not afraid that Lin Ji will be angry.
The method of hunting cattle in the forest is really useful, which is one of the reasons why several people of the Youda tribe are willing to merge. This time, when she went to Ji Lin again, she also sent a few calves to Lin Ji.
Originally, she didn't really want to send it. She saw that it was easy for Ji Lin to clean up the calves, and she also asked someone to tie up the cow's head and catch a few calves to prepare for herself. It's just that these cows are so frightened and savage that two men can't hold them down at every turn. accidentally ran away from both ends, not to mention, and injured several people in the tribe.
It's not at all the way that Lin Ji looks like he easily subdued. Everyone in the tribe said that this was the result of raising cattle without a cow god.
She was quite helpless, so she had to drive these cows to Ji Lin, preparing to hand over these calves to Lin Ji for bronze, which could be regarded as fulfilling her promise. But it's not easy. Because of these little calves, they had planned to walk for only four days for six days, and they exhausted the group.
Lu Qiao hated these little calves all the way, and seeing that the Ji Lin tribe was in sight, he simply asked people to tie these cows in the forest, turned around and let Lin Ji lead himself, and took a few people to the Ji Lin tribe first.
The line of green is straight through the forest to the north. Seeing that Ji Lin was right in front of her, she also washed the sweat and cement spots on her body in the stream, sorted out her Qi bangs, thinking that she had done so many things during this time, but she couldn't fall into the posture of being Qiaomu because of those calves.
A little further on, there was a scene of open roads in full swing in front of you, and not far away was an open land, but this was not the familiar field full of crops that Ji Lin was familiar with.
"This is our savage village." Ji Linren, who was traveling with him, introduced. As they spoke, the expressions on their faces seemed to be a little wrong, which had not been so wide before. There were also many more unfamiliar faces in the way. He was also a little confused.
Ji Lin still has a savage village? Lu Qiao seems to have never heard anyone mention it, and if it weren't for coming from the north, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see this place.
I greeted the acquaintance who opened the road, and the acquaintance pointed to the east and said, "Qizi said that if there are new arrivals, they will be brought downstream first." It cannot be brought back to the Tribe. He had already said that he would not want anyone. Where did you get these guys? ”
Neither Lu Qiao nor the Ji Lin people who were traveling with him understood the meaning of these words. Why don't you want people? Where did it come from, what is new?
However, when they heard that the forest trail was downstream, they walked around the mountain behind Himelin's location and headed east.
A kilometer or two away, as they rounded the col, an open field suddenly appeared in front of them again, and a large expanse of makeshift shacks and hundreds of laborers appeared in front of them...... Person.
The scene of hundreds of people working together has been seen by Ji Lin's people, but how could Lu Qiao and a few others have seen such a scene? Several old ladies supervised the work behind the men and women with rattan sticks, and kept shouting: "Work hard, they are all building their own houses, and if you don't hurry up, you can't do it, and those who are lazy will live in shacks until winter!" ”
Some of these people were carrying and carrying, some were cutting trees and digging soil, and a little higher on the riverbank was a stockade being formed, and there were many people engaged in work that they could not understand. Just by looking at it a few times, Lu Qiao felt a little dizzy.
Lowering his head and slowly compelling, Lu Qiao quickly thought of the point: Where did these people come from? Ji Lin himself categorically would not have so many people.
Lu Qiao was thinking about it, and when the old ladies who oversaw the work looked back, they were all acquaintances, all of whom were the leaders who had just been separated from the eagle, and the first one was the merchant who was so strong and alike.
Lu Qiao greeted him and asked, "Shangmu, are you meeting here again?" ”
Lu Qiao thought that there was no reason not to notify herself when they were convened, and what they were doing now did not look like what they were doing at the meeting, and she felt that her statement should be wrong, but it was not a convening, and she really couldn't think of a reason for these people to appear here.
Shang Mu put away the rattan and gave Lu Qiao a fist in a dignified manner: "Lu Qiao, Shang Qian has joined Ji Lin, I don't call Shang Mu anymore." When I was a child, I was called a snail, and now Keiko has named me Shang Snail Woman. ”
Several old ladies around Shangluo also reported their new names one by one, all of which were the original tribe's one-word surname and later added names.
Hearing this, Lu Qiao stuck his Qiaomu's name in his throat, and the words in his mouth became the biggest question in his heart: "You have all joined Ji Lin?" Why is that? ”
Obviously, it's only been ten or twenty days. After working hard, he was able to subdue a tribe, and he had some clue about this plan, but the forest trail was already ...... As far as the tribe of the few old women in front of him is concerned, the number of people is probably not less than that of Youda. How did he do it?
In the face of Lu Qiao's question, these treacherous old ladies were secretive one by one, and they smiled ambiguously. Just admit that he is Ji Lin's person now. And each has a position.
This made Lu Qiao even more puzzled. Normally, when others ask about the secrets of her tribe, she will do the same. But it's only been a few days now? These people completely think that they are Ji Lin's people?
What was she thinking about before? Afraid that Ji Lin's development will be too slow, persuade Lin Ji to join Youda? Lu Qiao felt that she was too self-conscious. This Qizi always seems to have unexpected power.
Lin Ji heard that Lu Qiao was coming, and ran over from the position of the stockade in the distance, and he was also sweating all over his face. Obviously, it's also very busy.
After saying hello, Lu Qiao asked the reason for subduing these tribes, and Lin Ji said with a smile and a cry: "Whoever wants them, they are all dead skins and pasted on their faces." With so many people coming at once, I don't know what kind of work I've become. These people ...... again How many times have I told you, the sun is too hot, the trees are cut down again, get something on your head to cover it, especially you old ones, don't think you can carry it. And, hey! Over there, who told you to drink raw water? Want to be whipped, don't you? ”
The front was about to complain to Lu Qiao, and the back reprimanded the surroundings. It was a few old women, who were also reprimanded, and they only smiled and grinned at what Lin Ji said, as if this was really the case.
It's just a few photos that came out, and it didn't take a few days to get six or seven hundred people, and Lin Ji was helpless. Even now, some tribes have heard some rumors and come by themselves, and the wild people who have joined them are even more wave after wave.
For these, although the forest traces are still received, it is just a very headache. With so many people getting together, it is easy to breed all kinds of social problems, and now he is really busy with his feet on the ground.
Fortunately, these people do have the heart to belong to them, and they are quite peaceful, otherwise the forest ruins can only be expelled partially.
Seeing that there was no wolf behind Lu Qiao, Lin Ji put on a businesslike appearance: "How is it?" Are you ready to open the way? It's already started on my end. As for the standard of the road, I just want to unify it with you...... In addition, I plan to build villages at intervals along the road, and at the same time build beacons, which will be responsible for guarding the beacons and maintaining the roads......"
Lu Qiao soon had no intention of pursuing the previous doubts, and was brought into the rhythm of work by Lin Ji.
