Chapter 200: Tribal Alliance
Nineteen people from the Hill tribe were exchanged for six people from the Youyan clan. At the same time, the clay pot was exchanged for salt, which was instructed by Su Yang, but because of this, the Yan clan began to find a way to grow.
Since the Yan clan dug out the salt mine, it has been the most powerful tribe in this area for decades, and the Yan clan is very ambitious, and has sent five people to study witchcraft one after another, and the earliest one has been almost four years.
That is to say, as long as the Youyan clan survives for another six years or so, maybe they can have their own witch, and at this time, the Xiong clan has sprung up, and the population has swelled to more than three times that of the Youyan clan with the momentum of destroying and decaying.
At the same time, there is the Xiong clan's clay pot champion in the world, and even the Dongshan tribe has been worshipped, and the Yan clan even suspects that there are bears mining salt mines.
In addition, there is the Great Elder Ya of the Yan Clan, who learned from the mouth of the remnants of the hill that there is a bear who directly started a war with the hill, forcefully defeated the hill, and forced the Chen tribe to merge, and the remaining tribe was almost hit, which is simply a banditry.
All this made Ya feel the crisis, and then Su Yang continued to spread the danger of the Xiyi people, but you must know that the Yan clan is the bitter master, and the materials will be robbed every year, and it has never stopped.
Ya absorbed the advantages of the Youxiong clan's merger tribe and began to throw olive branches to several surrounding tribes, but was poured cold water, and all the tribes were unwilling to merge. This is an unclear matter, the Yan clan is too strong, and these tribes have merged in the past, I am afraid that they will not even have the qualifications to speak out, and they will be assimilated directly.
Ya didn't believe in evil, and began to contact more tribes, and sent Yang Jima and other people in charge of the transaction to go out to lobby, referring to the method of the Xiong clan, but it still had no effect, the transaction was okay, and the merger was not negotiated.
Now the Yan clan is embarrassed, and I don't understand what went wrong, why the poverty was like a rock at the beginning, and so many tribes could be merged in a short period of time.
"Rock, Chaos, Sky Wolf, Summer, Simon, Wu, Dongshan, Winter Snow, Chen, Hill."
Not counting the Mang tribe and the Gonggong clan, Youxiong has already merged ten tribes, and the interior is relatively harmonious, which is incredible.
"Yangjima, tell me why this is happening." Ya sat on the top, with a large axe on her right hand, her wheat-colored skin was a little shiny, and her facial lines were hard, like a sculpture, showing her majesty.
The ten elders were separated on both sides, and in the middle stood Yang Jima and several people, in the face of Ya's anger, Yang Jima racked his brains and replied: "Ya, there is a Xiong clan who first deceived those tribes together, first said that it was an alliance, and then said that it was a merger. Su Yang: He is very smart. ”
"Then we will also form an alliance, no matter what method you use, talk about the alliance between the ten tribes and the Youyan clan."
Ya herself took her own initiative, traveled around the nearby tribes, coerced and lured to finally negotiate the alliance, and the name of the alliance was Youyan. Ya took a total of five tribes, totaling more than 400 people, including the Yan clan's own population, barely 800.
But the alliance was too loose, and the tribes still lived in their own caves, uniting only when they encountered a foreign enemy. However, the good thing is that once you join the Alliance, you are not allowed to quit to join another Clan or Alliance.
With the Yan clan being so high-profile, other tribes have also huddled, and the Liu, who escaped the catastrophe last time, was really worried about being pitted by a bear, and united with several surrounding tribes.
There are also the more remote tribes of Twilight, the tribes sandwiched between Youyan and Twilight, the tribes on the other side of the Bear River, and the tribes that wanted to change the Simon region at the beginning, but in the end, they saw that everyone was allied, and the rest of the tribes also held each other.
In the end, more than 30 tribes except for the Xiong clan succeeded in grouping, and almost none were left alone, forming a tribal alliance in a short period of time to advance and retreat together. But this alliance is fragile and cannot withstand the wind and rain.
Su Yang didn't realize it at this time, he was making it difficult to mine salt mines, theoretically speaking, mining salt mines has to drill holes down, just like drilling oil wells, but now this condition does not mean that drilling a well can be done, salt mines are often deep underground.
Then the best way is to make a hole diagonally, which is a big project, and if it is not done well, it is easy to cause a landslide accident. And like the salt mine of the Salt Clan, it is in the belly of the mountain, and the cliff is a great luck against the sky and cannot be copied.
"Elders, what do you think?" Su Yang asked out loud, didn't he get these people from the Yan clan just to mine the salt mine?
The six of them had already circled the hill several times, and finally gave a suggestion to dig a hole at the bottom of the slope to see when they could dig a salt mine and produce brine.
Isn't that tantamount to nonsense? Su Yang suddenly felt a little loss, but when digging a hole, these people could still make some suggestions and had experience. In addition, he wanted to erect wooden sticks inside the hole, like the door of a mud-walled house, so that it could prevent the collapse to some extent, and the passage of the hole would not need to be dug so large, saving labor.
But now it hasn't been measured, so I don't know how much brine there is, and if the hole misses or there are few salt mines here, then I'll kneel. But apart from here, there is no better place to find at present, although two places have been found where the animals lick the soil, but no salt water has come out.
Su Yang estimates that there is more brine in this place, and the other two belong to salt mine crystals, he personally prefers brine, anyway, there are clay pots in the tribe, and it is very convenient to boil salt. The liquid left over after boiling salt in brine is salt brine, which can be ordered with bean curd, and then found soybeans, you can make tofu, bean curd, and tofu brain.
Of course, in the process of boiling salt, you can use soy milk to marinate in advance, remove the magazine in advance, and boil out pure white salt.
"Dig a few wells first." With a clumsy solution, he decided to dig a few wells around the hillside to make sure that there was more salt water there, and if he found salt or brine in the process, it would be a big deal.
At the same time, these wells, even if only one has salt water, can alleviate the tribe's salt problem, and at the same time, the well water is easier to store than the salt springs, and it is feasible to carry water back from a clay pot every time, or build a salt boiling plant here.
"What is a well?" The crowd was puzzled.
Su Yang took out a bamboo tube and said, "Just like this, dig a hole like a bamboo tube and dig it in a straight line in the ground." ”
It is said that drinking water does not forget to dig wells, because it is not so simple to take a sip. But people only know that they can run under other big trees to enjoy the shade, but they don't know that if they plant trees now, they will be able to enjoy the shade at home many years later.
In modern times, the cost of digging a household well is not large, a few hundred yuan is enough, compared with the price of tap water, it can quickly pay off. It's just that many people are troublesome, and they need to be equipped with pumping machines, install wires and water pipes, etc., and finally this well needs to be cleaned regularly, so it is better to use other people's wells, or tap water.
Of course, Su Yang has not personally drilled a well, but he still understands the principle of common sense, even in the city, you can see a lot of sewer wells, and see that the manhole cover is that thing, and in the place near the top, it needs to be built with bricks.
There are more than 60 people in the team brought out, and it is completely enough to dig a few wells, and once they succeed, they can dig wells everywhere in the future and solve the problem of water at will. (To be continued.) )
