Chapter 61: Interception
During the afternoon labor, a slave gently hummed a tune, and when he saw that Tang Ge had no intention of stopping, his voice gradually became louder, and the other slaves heard it, and also hummed a tune to match him, and gradually, the song became louder and louder, and half of the construction site was shrouded in singing.
Seeing this, Tang Ge thought it was very interesting, so he led everyone to shout the trumpet, the simple and bright trumpet was very easy to learn, and it didn't take long for the sound of the trumpet to spread throughout the construction site, and in the shouting one after another, the slaves wielded rakes and shovels, and regarded the hard work as a dance.
After the trumpet sounded, it did not stop, until the cold bird flew over the wasteland, and the big stone came to the double mountain land again. Da Shi was busy hunting, Tang Ge was busy building a city, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, but there wasn't much warmth, Da Shi touched Tang Ge's head lovingly, and told Tang Ge that it was time to prepare for autumn hunting.
The autumn hunting meeting in the bazaar was simply a fertilizer distribution meeting for Tang Ge. This year, there is no Heyang tribe, and the Banpo dolphin is rising strongly, and the distribution of autumn hunting is naturally different from previous years.
Tang Ge felt that the Autumn Hunting Conference was meaningless, but he still had to honestly represent the Banpo tribe to participate. All the tribes in the wasteland were staring at the Banpo dolphin's every move, waiting for them to announce the Banpo dolphin's autumn hunting plan. It can be said that the choice of the autumn hunting site of the Banpo dolphin affects the food reserves of the natives of half of the wasteland for the winter.
At the bazaar, Tang Ge was patient and waited until all the tribes arrived, and then announced the autumn hunting plan for the Banpo dolphin: "The autumn hunting location of our Banpo dolphin is still in Sankeshu, I think, everyone has no opinion." ”
The natives of the wasteland were shocked, but they also felt reasonable. Last year's hunting method of Banpo dolphins was very fruitful, which everyone knows, and it seems that they still have to follow the old method.
"We will stay here until noon tomorrow, no matter which tribe, as long as they are interested in joining us for autumn hunting with us, we warmly welcome them, and we will guarantee to give the cooperative tribes a satisfactory harvest." Tang Ge unhurriedly announced the position of Banpo Dolphin, and then left without looking back.
Heizi was silent throughout the whole process, like a stone carving and wood sculpture, observing Tang Ge's performance.
The first tribe willing to cooperate came, with a heavy tentativeness. After Tang Ge welcomed it, he opened a cooperation plan for Banpo Dolphin Autumn Hunting.
The Banpo dolphin will let them take their prey at will during the autumn hunt until they are satisfied, but the premise is that they will continue to hold on until the autumn hunting activity of the Banpo dolphin is completely over.
The conditions are abundant, and they are unimaginably abundant. The tribes who came to test were ecstatic, and after happily announcing the conditions of the Banpo dolphin, the leaders of the tribes came to visit one after another, and expressed their willingness to join the Banpo dolphin autumn hunting. Under the same conditions, Tang Ge agreed with a smile. There were more and more happy people, and in the end, as long as there were conditions to join Banpo Dolphin, all of them joined in. Only the sunspot thinks this is a pit dug by the Banpo dolphin. Although he didn't understand the point of this pit, he just stubbornly believed that this matter was not simple.
At noon, the team of Banpo dolphins left on time, and many happy tribes also left. This year's hunting seems to be impossible, but after the Banpo dolphin took away nearly half of the wasteland tribes, the remaining large number of hunting sites are better allocated. Many people have found the most ideal hunting grounds, so they are quite grateful for the behavior of the Banpo dolphin.
After Tang Ge rushed back to the tribe, he had to start preparations for the autumn hunt. This time, he has to make a big move, and he naturally has to do a lot of preparation. To build a massive number of fences, you need a lot of wood, which is quite difficult. Primitive people are very good at protecting the ecology, usually taking firewood, but also collecting dead branches and dead trees, if these are not available, they also try to take the branches and leaves of the tree without harming the roots. So, they don't cut down trees if they don't have to.
Autumn hunting needs trees, which is a very necessary reason, but there are too many trees needed in autumn hunting, and problems arise. If it is cut down at will, it will cause devastating damage to the ecology of a certain area, and the tribesmen are very worried that such behavior will cause bad consequences, and in the end, Tang Ge set the location of the felling trees in the wilderness, and the problem can be solved.
Under the protection of the Banpo dolphin's strong force, the large army of Wu Yang slaughtered into the depths of the wilderness. With the exception of the Banpo dolphin, this is the first time that a large-scale human presence has set foot in the wilderness in the wilderness. When all the tribes came together, the gathering of a large number of people made them realize what unity is strength, and the natives who had never been active on such a large scale even felt that they could poke holes in the sky.
The Banpo dolphins are responsible for logging, and the other tribes are responsible for transporting the corrected timber to the designated location. In less than a month, a huge fence as tall as a city wall and stretched for more than ten miles had been built, and the hunting work would be complete when the migratory animals arrived and drove them into what was probably the largest hunting trap ever built.
When the grass and trees began to wither and yellow, the first migrating animals reached the edge of the wilderness. The Banpo dolphin changed its previous autumn hunting strategy, and this time it did not wait for them to assemble in large numbers, and dispatched cavalry to drive batches of prey into traps. At the end of the fence trap is a huge valley of several square kilometers, and the valley has already begun to get busy a month earlier than the usual autumn hunting.
Prey is killed, broken down, and then fur is nitrated, and meat is processed into dried products that can be easily stored. Keep valuable things such as bone horns and discard all others, this is all the work of Akikaku. Nowadays, the most difficult hunt has been easily completed, and the easiest work of breaking down the prey in the past has been the most onerous.
It's just because there are too many prey in this autumn hunt. The first migratory animals alone alone numbered tens of thousands. The natives did not have time to feed them, and there was not enough food in the valley, and if they stayed in the valley, they would only lose weight day by day, and eventually starve to death and become useless waste. Therefore, in order not to waste their prey, the people of all tribes formed an assembly line under the command of Tang Ge and began to run with their lives. From the day the prey stepped into the valley, the smoke and fire for making the bacon never stopped, and the rope racks for making the air-dried meat were hung densely, like a forest.
As the prey dwindled, and it was almost time to finish slaughtering, the second group of migrating animals arrived. Then came the third batch...... Fourth Batch ......
Whether it is a cow, a sheep, an antelope, or a jackal, rhinoceros, and musk pig, as long as they appear on the edge of the wilderness, there is only one end, that is, they are driven into a trap by the cavalry like the "Red Devil" and slaughtered.
"Red Devil" is the name given to the Banpo Dolphin Cavalry by the natives who worked in the valley.
According to the time of the previous year, the animals will start to migrate, and when the autumn hunt officially begins, the Banpo dolphin has already accumulated a mountain of prey.
It's no wonder that the Banpo dolphin will set the condition that the prey can be moved casually...... Looking at the mountains of various meat products, the aborigines of the wasteland who were tired like dogs thought of it with great emotion. With so much prey, it is enough for them to survive the winter, but the Banpo dolphin is still not satisfied.
"It's not enough! It will take at least three batches of prey to meet our needs. In a tent full of sausages, Tang Ge said decisively to the cavalry captain who came to ask for instructions.
Now, the tribes that came to participate in the autumn hunt have begun to complain. In their opinion, after hunting enough prey, they should have been comfortably lying at home and starting the cat winter, but the Banpo dolphin still had no intention of stopping the autumn hunt. Helplessly, the Banpo dolphin clearly told them that if they wanted to move the prey casually, they had to work until the autumn hunting activity was completely over!
That's a pit! A big hole! The Banpo Dolphin had put half of the people of the wasteland into this pit, forcing them to work hard in exchange for food for the winter.
"them! It only adds up to a few thousand people, how big a wave can it make? For the complaining natives, Tang Ge commented casually.
Tang Ge had the confidence to do this, because after the old sickle caravan continued to transport slaves, now the Banpo Dolphin had already broken through the 1,000-person mark and went straight to 1,005. According to Tang Ge's plan, with the most lenient budget, 1,500 people, each person has five catties of jerky per day, and if you want to reserve food for more than half a year, at least three million catties will be needed to ensure that in the coming year, even if there is no grain harvest, there will be no worries about food and clothing. In addition, there are two or three thousand people from other tribes who came to participate in the autumn hunt, needless to say, these people will definitely desperately transport prey to their tribe until there is no place to put it, so the income from the autumn hunt is conservatively estimated to have more than eight million catties to harvest, or even ten million catties to satisfy their greedy appetite.
Tang Ge couldn't weigh how much meat there was in 10 million catties, but he could roughly calculate it. The largest bison weighs about 2,000 catties, and after removing the skin and internal organs, the net meat is only 1,300 catties, and the maximum is not more than 1,400 catties. If all the autumn hunting animals were the largest bison, then a minimum of 20,000 would be needed to meet the needs of all tribes, including the Banpo dolphin, but the reality is that even bison can grow to a ton very few, not to mention that the other prey does not have much meat.
