Chapter 349: Into the Salt Clan Rebellion
When there is no wheat, it is a hooligan to say that it is eaten below. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But the River tribe has rice, and cooking with rice flour can actually cook a lot of things.
The sky was getting dark, Wang Chuan picked up a spatula in the small courtyard, and the people who came to hear the wind became endless.
Wang Chuan often wondered if the greatest value of his stay in the River tribe was whether he made a good meal? When I go home by myself, there is no one waiting to cook a delicious meal, and I have to do it myself, so there is no one.
Stone Hammer, a creature with crippled legs, has become more and more energetic, and now it is said that he has taken in seven or eight apprentices to teach people to polish stone grinding, and his reputation has spread to the northern forests. Wang Chuan likes this kind of craftsman, so he has a portion of tonight's meal. But this meal is not in vain, he has to guard the door for Wang Chuan.
As long as you are a centurion, you can't enter the courtyard today. Wang Chuan didn't want to eat a good meal by himself, and he was disgusted by these bad people. Not to mention the others, even if the pigs in the pigsty run out, they can come in, and they can get a little wild vegetable leaves to eat.
The new centurions who thought they had stepped into the circle jumped outside and scolded the stone hammer, and the old centurions who could have entered the small courtyard looked at these people who didn't know the rules at all with a dark face. Although the stone hammer is half cut off by the dwarf's house, he sits on the ground and does not give an inch, and there is a great awe-inspiring atmosphere that you will hack me to death here.
The farcical dinner didn't last long before it was interrupted by the Winter Bear rushing in and wailing.
Winter Bear has lost a lot of weight. But the expression on his face was still exaggerated: "Elder Chuan, go and take a look, my ancestor is dying, wow, ah, ah......"
"Winter Bear is here, it's ripe and you'll have your share, go back and give your ancestor and Xiaobei a bowl of it." Wang Chuan felt that these words were a little familiar, and the action of stirring the rice balls in his hand stopped for a moment, lowered his head and continued to stir. The rice balls are almost ripe, and I must stop following the words of the winter bear, and those fat and strong hungry ghosts will pack up and eat the half-life rice balls.
Seeing that Wang Chuan didn't believe him, Winter Bear cried and hugged Wang Chuan's leg and said, "This time it's true." My ancestor is not in good spirits now, and when he heard you come back, he was happy, and he ate a bowl of broth just now, but he couldn't do it after eating. Now it's just gasping for breath and saying I'm going to see you again. ”
At this point, Wang Chuan sighed secretly and decided to believe in Winter Bear one more time. If his ancestor hadn't died this time, Wang Chuan would have killed the winter bear. Anyway, my good interest is gone, and I have to hold a funeral for their ransom people.
Put down the spatula, light the torch, and Wang Chuan came out with the winter bear. The bull put down the bowl and followed with a bow and knife. Seeing that the people outside kept shouting and scolding, lest they hurt Wang Chuan, the tiger also rode out and followed.
As soon as Wang Chuan came out of the small courtyard, more than 100 people at the door looked at him with blank eyes. Wang Chuan snorted coldly and walked with his head down. Zhuang Niu said in the back: "It's all scattered, it's blocked here at night, are there any rules?" ”
The strong cow has now grown to a size of 1.8 meters, with solid muscles all over his body, and has become the first fierce man in the River tribe. He followed Wang Chuan for a while, and the childishness on his face subsided. Gestures have their own momentum. Now that he was scolded by him, no one dared to reply, not even anyone who looked at each other. When Wang Chuan saw this scene, he was even more displeased with these people.
Walking out of the village, Wang Chuan asked as he walked, "What's the matter with your ransom of the Yan clan?" Now that there is no salt to sell, I don't have any meat to eat? ”
As soon as Winter Bear heard Wang Chuan's words, he almost hugged Wang Chuan's thigh and cried again: "Elder Chuan, the Ransom Salt Clan is having a hard time!" ”
"Come on, put away your set, you have something to say. How did it come to this? Wang Chuan jumped on a tiger and rode away. At night, the tiger has good night vision and walks more steadily.
Winter Bear wiped a handful of tears and said, "The person who entered the salt has rebelled." ”
"The one who entered the salt rebelled? What about the bears? Wang Chuan asked.
The Ransom Salt Clan is a close alliance composed of three tribes: the Salt Clan, the Bear Man Clan, and the Ransom Salt Clan. The three tribes work together to survive on meat. Among them, the Iriyan clan was responsible for transporting salt from the seaside, the ransom salt clan was responsible for selling, and the bear people were responsible for opening trade routes and arresting laborers. The Yan clan rebelled, and the ransom salt clan naturally had no salt to sell, which also caused a shortage of salt around the River tribe. But it stands to reason that the three of them should be able to restrain each other, and neither of them can rebel alone.
Winter Bear cried and said, "I'm the only one left with the bears. ”
It took Wang Chuan half a day to figure out that Winter Bear was not the one who ransomed the Yan Clan. He was born in a bear man, but he had a talent for business, and was favored by the old man of the Ransom Salt clan and was taken under his command. Later, Winter Bear married a woman from the Shio clan and formed a family. In the old man's plan, the plan to unify the three tribes should be able to be realized on the winter bear, who knew that at this time the Yan clan rebelled.
Wang Chuan complained powerlessly about this twisting and turning thing, and said, "Aren't you bear people the most capable of fighting?" How could it be so clean? ”
Winter Bear said: "I don't know when the people who entered the Yan clan started, and suddenly there were many more people. When someone saw them exterminate the bears, no less than 2,000 warriors were dispatched......"
"How much?" Wang Chuan's voice was raised twice. How many people are there in a tribe that can dispatch 2,000 people? The River tribe now claims to have more than 10,000 people, and Wang Chuan may not be able to get 2,000 people to go on the expedition. Of course, stopping all production is another matter. Even if there is no production in the Yan clan, and all the young and strong are out, will they have five or six thousand people?
Winter Xiong said: "Elder Chuan, we are in business, although we have not learned arithmetic from you, but this number should not be mistaken. It's two thousand, and it's said that all of them are men. ”
This should be five or six thousand people. Maybe even more.
Wang Chuan said: "Where did they come from?" And what do you do for a living? ”
Where did the salt come from, Winter Bear couldn't tell why. However, when it comes to the source of meat, Winter Bear said with an embarrassed face: "They ...... I have learned to farm, and the boats I have exchanged with you are all in their hands......"
"You've got a sailboat?" Wang Chuan was a little nervous. The ships that were exchanged with the Ransom Salt Clan before were all ships without masts, and if the sails were traded out in the past two years, Wang Chuan would definitely cut off the bark of the human head when he turned around.
Winter Bear said, "Not yet. It's all rowboats. ”
Wang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Does the bark know these things about you?" ”
Winter Bear said: "He knows, but he said he can't manage it now......"
A few years back, Bark was nothing more than a wild man who would only run after the beast's ass. Although he has been studying all these years, the River tribe is changing with each passing day, and he can't keep up with this change. Now that the river tribe has all kinds of problems, it's no wonder that he is not anxious.
I got on the boat and crossed the river and came to the No. 3 stockade. Wang Chuan was surrounded for a while, and they all heard that Wang Chuan was back and came to pay respects. Incompetent management has nothing to do with these people, Wang Chuan greeted everyone warmly and asked them to go back first.
Entering the house where the old man lived, Xiaobei was bowing and waiting. I haven't seen her for more than a year, and Xiaobei has also grown, and it is said that she is now the best-looking woman in Sanzhai. The eighteenth change of the female college, the girl's eyebrows and eyes are open, and she really looks a lot. What hasn't changed is the shy smile that still hangs on her face.
The old man was in excellent spirits, but his face shone with a brilliance that did not belong to the elderly. Wang Chuan shook his hand and found that there was no moisture on his skin, and it was obvious that his body functions had deteriorated. The scene in front of me is a proper return to the light.
The old man opened his mouth and smiled: "When that autumn came, I knew that I was going to die, but I didn't expect that after five more spring and autumn seasons with you, I could be regarded as earning." ”
Wang Chuan said: "If you want, you can boil here for another five or ten spring and autumn seasons, I have brought back a lot of grain seeds from the north, you can eat them for a few years, it doesn't matter if I lose a little more." ”
The old man said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it, but don't worry, I have a way to make you die." You asked me to bring the people who ransom the Yan clan before, and now I really got them, more than 1,600 people, do you dare to raise them for me? ”
Wang Chuan said: "They have hands and feet, and they don't need me to feed them." If they want to come, I can set aside a place on the east side for them to build a village, and let them farm and hunt for their own living. ”
The old man was a little disappointed and said: "I waited for you to come back every day before I died, just to beg you for this, you really can't promise me?" ”
The winter bear Xiaobei next to him knew that this was true or false, and he couldn't help crying.
Wang Chuan said: "Now that the River tribe is too big, I don't plan to add people to the River tribe." You've also seen it, just such a small number of people, what kind of chaos has become? If the future is still like this, there will be no way to live. So I thought of a new form of managing everyone's lives. In this form, a small number of people live in towns and towns, working for everyone's iron, and most of them live in villages outside, mainly farming, fishing and hunting. On the other side of the river, I will first build a city for those who can work to live, and the people of the river tribe who cannot work will also be divided into farming. Of course, I don't care about them anymore, their children can go to school, and they can exchange the harvest for iron and stone mills. What I can promise you is that I will not be partial enough to ransom you and these people. ”
The old man nodded with satisfaction: "Hearing you say this, I only think that it will be better in the future, and I am relieved that you can arrange it like this." You've got to think differently as a kid...... I heard that you brought some hornless beasts back, but I don't know what these beasts are for? ”
Cavalry, the post, this is almost the most important role of the horse. Wang Chuan picked out some content in this area and explained it to the old man, and only halfway through the talk, Winter Bear cried beside him: "Old ancestor ......"
The old man didn't know when he closed his eyes and walked away peacefully.
Wang Chuan's heart was sad and full of loss, from now on, Winter Bear probably won't use this old ancestor to talk to him about any business, right?
The winter bear cried for a while, and was about to go out with the old man's corpse on his back. In this era, there is no heavy funeral, which is probably to find a place to burn and bury.
Wang Chuan stopped him and said, "Where are you going?" ”
Winter Bear said: "The water began to rise in the east, flooding many places. My ancestors said that if he died, he would be buried on a higher mountain. He didn't want to be flooded after he died. ”
It was as if a bolt of lightning illuminated Wang Chuan's train of thought, and he couldn't help but scold: "You are confused, such a thing as flooding in the east ......"
Thinking that the winter bear was now sad, Wang Chuan changed his words and said: "Everyone is still unclear about such a thing as flooding in the east. You have buried your ancestors indiscriminately, what if you are still flooded when you turn around? And he is a masterpiece of his generation, so he was buried hastily, how will you explain to the people who ransom your salt clan in the future? You put him away first, and I will handle this matter, and I will definitely choose a feng shui treasure place for my ancestor that will not be flooded, and bury him in a grand manner, so that you and your people have a place to hang on him. ”
