Under the management of Yang Li, the river bay land began to develop from a settlement to a city-state.

Since the introduction of slavery, the settlement's food production has increased fivefold, which of course has to do with the reclamation of large areas of riparian alluvial plains.

The cultivation and improvement of soybeans have achieved initial results, not only to meet the feed needs of domesticated bison, but also to gradually enter the daily diet of Hewan residents.

Yang Jiao used a stone mill to bring soybean milk, a traditional delicacy of the Chinese nation, to this wild land thousands of years in advance, and also set up a simple public breakfast shop.

Although there are no fried dough sticks made from wheat and no delicious combination of soy milk fritters and steamed buns, Yang Li is still satisfied, and this breakfast shop not only makes Yulia happy, but also becomes the place where most of the residents of Hewan visit every morning.

Before going hunting or farming, go to the breakfast shop of the chief Yang and bring a bowl of soy milk, plus two steamed buns, how pleasant it is.

"Big leader, come to the buns, ask for saber-toothed tiger meat filling, don't put green onions."

"Drink, you kid can afford to buy saber-toothed tiger stuffed buns? You know, this bun is available in limited quantities! Yang Li sat behind the counter, studying the map while directing the two slaves to serve food to everyone.

"It's not the blessing of the big chief, this autumn is really a bumper harvest, we have to build another barn to pile up food!"

"Do you need to be reminded of this? Whoever gives him a bowl of soy milk will be considered to be a special bun to give! Yang Li scolded with a smile.

personally took charge of the soybean milk shop for a few days, and Yang Li saw that the store was on the right track, so he got out and threw the store to a woman.

This is Huya's wife...... At least that's what he himself said, the woman's ex-husband died under the claws of the saber-toothed tiger and remarried a giant man, and Yang Jiao saw that she was shrewd and virtuous, so he arranged for a breakfast shop.

Later generations of neon people have forcibly lengthened the height of a generation through the milk plan, which is a successful example.

Yang Li does not have cows for the time being, so replace it with soy milk, the effect may not be so obvious, but soy protein is also a healthy and nutritious food, which will definitely help the physique of teenagers in Hewandi.

Bison have been domesticated by some kind of violent means.

In fact, this matter completely exceeded Yang Da Leader's expectations.

In his plan, it should be the offspring of male and female bison, that is, those calves were trained from an early age, and finally took off their wild nature and began to get close to people, but he never expected that these two adult bison would be tamed.

Who did this to you?

Xue Pijiang.

When Yang Li gave a lecture to the boy and Lori, he naturally mentioned the supreme combat power of the cold weapon era - cavalry, from the Jiangdong cavalry that accompanied the overlord of Western Chu to fight the world, to the ace tiger and leopard cavalry of Emperor Wu of Wei, and then to the Polish hussars of Central Europe, as well as the Tang Xuanjia cavalry who followed Li Erda to charge into battle, and turned the sky countless times and suppressed the turbulence.

Xue Bijiang was stunned when he heard this, and threw away the longbow at that time, saying, I want to be a cavalryman.

Yang Li said, we don't have horses.

So Xue Bijiang went to toss the two cows all day long.

The young talent is different, the agile growth is MAX, the bow and arrow is already a visible talent, and the spear skill is also becoming more and more sophisticated, this vigorous skill, after running on the back of the cow, the butt seems to be stuck to the back of the bison.

The bison pouted its hooves and struggled all day, but Leng didn't throw the boy off the bull's back.

Xue Bijiang grabbed the cow's bristle and only pumped the rattan with the thickness of his thumb on the cow's head - just ask you if you accept it!

How can you do it, the cow is not stupid, the difference in combat effectiveness is too great, let this human ride and not lose a piece of meat, anyway, this guy still feeds us, it can be regarded as half a breeder, hey, accept fate.

So Yang Jiao discovered a strange scene one afternoon, Xue Pijiang rode a bull, brandished a spear, and ran along the riverside avenue with a whoa.

"Stop you!" Yang Li was furious, "Is this road for cattle to run, step on a half-inch deep pit with one hoof, overweight, and you will be fined." ”

But the cow is obedient.

Under the ravages of the youth, they obediently put on the wooden ploughs and joined the production army of the riverbends.

Yang Li's self-camp is suddenly equivalent to twice as many laborers, and the combination of ploughing cattle and wooden ploughs is really a super efficient combination, and the farming efficiency is suddenly doubled.

Large bundles of golden millet were harvested and preserved, some of them went to the tables of each family, some entered the granary of the great leader of Yang, and the extra part was transferred to the caravan by Yang Jiao and transported to the Lieshan tribe and the Gray Wood tribe.

The Lieshan tribes, who were vassals of the Riverlands, which roughly meant special administrative regions, had more people involved in the mining of azurite, and the production of grain naturally declined, so that the grain was supported by the Riverlands, and in turn they could exchange ore for grain.

In the eyes of the residents of Lieshan, this is a very good deal.

Unlike the Lieshan tribes, the Greywood tribes are not so dependent on food, and they still mainly look at the pottery of the Hewan tribe.

Through the newly opened trade routes, the caravans transported grain and pottery to the village of Ashwood, and according to the returning merchants, Lao Zhang's trading inn had been rebuilt, tripled in size, and the population had increased by dozens of years.

Why the Greywood tribe grew so fast.

Because it is in a unique geographical location.

The settlements to the east, some of the tribes of the lower reaches of the Luo River, transported salt, marble, and hemp to the ash wood tribes to trade in exchange for pottery and grain produced in the bay.

In this way, the Greywood Tribe became a trade nexus.

There are some precedents of prosperity in the history of such cities – such as Constantinople, the capital of Byzantium, and Venice in Italy, which served as a bridge between East and West, and became out-and-out commercial cities, thus economically developed and prosperous people.

In other words, the Ashwood tribe provided a place for trade and at the same time assumed the role of middlemen.

But what about the good and no middlemen to make the difference? Yang Li's elevator is waiting in vain.

Of course not, in the case of the insufficient population of the river bay, Yang Jiao deliberately let Lao Zhang take on the role of a middleman, and let the gray wood tribe play the role of a commercial city.

Could it be that Yang Li doesn't make money if he is rich?

The key issue is still in the core battle of the tribe, and the purpose of the slavery system established by Yang Li is to ensure that the productivity of the slaves in the strata can feed the inhabitants of the middle and high-level Hewan Lands, so that they can have enough time and energy to train in warfare and martial arts, and build a killing machine for semi-professional soldiers.

Once you start doing business, your core combat power, which is already overstretched, will be even more dispersed.

In ancient times, envoys were rarely sent, and there was really a little contradiction in the diplomacy between the two countries, which was basically just rolling up your sleeves and doing it, and it didn't matter if you took advantage of it or not.

Besides...... Didn't Lao Zhang build an inn, provide a bazaar, and arrange maintenance personnel, these behaviors are essentially the consumption of manpower and material resources, so it is natural for him to make a fortune in the middle.

After all, in the future, if we annex the Gray Wood Tribe, we hope to inherit a complete and prosperous settlement, right, a dilapidated city, we can't look down on it.

As time went on, some of the displaced people in the wilderness on both sides of the Luo River also joined the river, they had no land for the time being, but these people had more personal freedom than the slaves, because new canals had to be built, Yang Li's settlement transformation required manpower, and the smelting of pottery and bronze was also in full swing, and the development of these industries made this part of the people have work to do.

Yang Jiao settled on a weekly basis and distributed food to the workers, in exchange for a big change in the original site of the river.

A trench was added around the original highland mound, and behind it was no longer a wooden fence, but a wall made of logs.

Wooden Fort.

In some places rich in timber, the protection of the wooden fort is even stronger than most of the humble stone forts, the logs are strong and tight, and have extremely high toughness, can smash the stone casters of the stone fort, and are often helpless in the face of the wooden fort.

In ancient times, some of the tall trees in Heluo had grown for hundreds of years.

A tower on one side and a post on the other, the battlements of the walls are made of logs of varying heights, forming bumpy bunkers that resemble stone forts, providing a safe environment for archers or spear-throwers.

The city gate is under the cover of two arrow towers, if you want to attack from the front, the enemy must face the cross-fertilization fire from both sides, although Yang Li did not study civil engineering, but the current knowledge of science and engineering gives him the basic ability in this area.

The chief's hut was converted into a grain storeroom, and the real chief's hall was moved closer to the walled gate, which resembled a small fortress, with the council hall leading through the doorway, and the kitchen and study at the back of the hall.

The small fortress is divided into two floors, and the second floor has two rooms, which are the new bedrooms of Yang Li and Yulia.

In the future, one of the bedrooms will be abandoned and converted into a children's room, and Yang Da Leader has reached a consensus with Mao Mei on this point.

The entire riverbend is already impregnable.

Why did Yang Jiao build a lot of construction and do such a seemingly unnecessary thing?

For he had never forgotten the man named Pit Viper, and the threat he left behind when he fled.

He said that the tribes of the north had formed an alliance, and they had waged wars, wiped out small settlements, and brought people and land under their rule, and that the power behind this man was unfathomable.

Yang Jiao sent a patrol to the north of the Lishan tribe half a month ago to reconnoitre, and found nothing in the first few days, until yesterday, a scout broke into his leader's hall.

The hunter, who was originally under the command of Hayabusa, was a notoriously fast-legged runner, his face was covered in blood, he also had a bone arrow stuck in his body, and his lips were white, and he reported the results of the investigation to Yang Li.

The advance party of the northern tribe had approached the Lishan tribe, and the first wave of pioneers alone was full of two hundred people.

Hmph, I didn't go to you, but you came first.

Yang Jiao slapped the table and got up, let the scouts rest and rest, and then transferred troops and generals to start the layout.

"Send someone to Lao Zhang's place and borrow skilled and elite archers, at least thirty people."

"The people of the Hewan tribe, each with two serfs, bring their own rations and weapons, and go with me to fight."

"Yulia?"

Mao Mei was tying her blonde hair into a ponytail, and after listening to the scout's report, she was like a cat seeing dried fish: "My fifteen special fighters can fight a hundred!" ”

"Pull you down," Yang Li poured cold water on her, "These children of yours can only grow into veterans after experiencing real war, I order you to make a detour to the gray wood settlement, and the archers who protect Lao Zhang come together." ”

"Okay, okay." Yulia pouted and walked away.

There was a commotion outside, Yang Jiao secretly screamed badly, and rushed out of the house to see that Mao Mei abducted the combination of Lori and the tiger, as well as Xue Bijiang.

Forget it, just a few of you can't affect the battle situation, Yang Jiao ordered nearly 100 people in the river bay, with Falcon Wing and Huya as the generals, and led the main force to cross the river and drive to the mountain settlement.
