Chapter 346: It's Back
Wang Chuan looked at the smoky place for a while, and found that as he expected, there were hot springs everywhere, providing a lot of heat to the valley, so that the grass and trees here were enough to grow in the cold winter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And there seems to be very little water in the stream here except for the hot springs, and the donkeys and horses are drinking the melted snow water. The hot spring water is not drinkable, so between summer and autumn, there should be few donkeys and horses here. This also gives the valley plenty of time to recover, and the horse manure provides the grass and trees with rope nourishment, so that it can be used as a winter place for donkeys and horses every year.
The tiger was not welcomed by these donkeys and horses, and Wang Chuan and the others walked along the edge, found a stone slab in the forest, and stopped to rest. There is also a hot spring here, and the spring water seeps out from the stone wall, forming a large pool of about ten meters on the ground. The hot spring scalds are scalded like a warm kang, and you can sleep peacefully by setting up a tent directly on the stone slabs.
Wang Chuan hastily set up the camp, tested the water temperature of the pool, and then took off his stripes and lay down. The hot spring melts the snow water, and the water temperature is just right. The fatigue along the way is like being sucked out of the body by thousands of small worms, so comfortable that people don't want to move a finger. Seeing that Wang Chuan was hot, the little elephant also jumped down with a flutter. The waves rolled and turned Wang Chuan over.
The warm water made the baby elephant a little frightened by the leg hair at first, but after a while it raised its nose and grinned happily.
Wang Chuan wiped a handful of water on his face to find the little elephant to scuffle, and the little elephant did not show weakness to absorb water and spray Wang Chuan. After playing with one person and one elephant for a while, Wang Chuan began to brush the baby elephant. After the winter, I didn't brush the baby elephant much, there was a lot of dust and grease, and I brushed it with warm water to brush it clean.
After a while, the strong bull took the little rhinoceros, and the tiger driver dragged the three tigers into the water, and Wang Chuan came out with the washed baby elephant, washed it first, and then washed it...... Wang Chuan felt that this pool was not much different from boiling broth.
Qi saw Wang Chuan's comfort, and he also wanted to go down. She was not afraid of men and women, but when she saw that the pool water was dirty by a group of people and beasts, she had to hold the eaglet who didn't like to take a bath and leave with a cold snort.
Wang Chuan laid a piece of animal skin on the stone slab and lay on it to watch the tiger drive people wash the tiger, and the baby elephant lay beside it and rolled from time to time, scalding its fur with hot rocks. Washing a cat or something looks the best, whether it's a big cat or a small kitten. The usually fierce big cat was washed and cringed, revealing a little girl's shy appearance, that look couldn't be more cute, Wang Chuan couldn't be more happy. But take a good rest for a while, someone scratches their feet, and it can't stand it. He sat up angrily and saw the long scoundrel face of the King of Horses.
Wang Chuan brushed the horse king several times in the stockade, which was a demonstration of buying and giving other Yi people horse breeders. This thing saw that the other beasts were washed comfortably, and his heart was itchy, so it was called service.
Wang Chuan's ability to brush the bristles dared to say that he was the best in the world, and Ma Wang finished brushing with hot water, and made several comfortable noses in a row. Its coat color has become brighter, and it looks very satisfying to itself.
"Okay, in the future, your brushing work will belong to me, and you will also belong to me, understand?" Wang Chuan's labor was never paid in vain, and when he led the king of horses to the shore, he talked to the king of horses. King Ma snorted again, and Wang Chuan took it as if he agreed. Signing unequal treaties or something, Wang Chuan is the best at it.
Wang Chuan and the others stayed in this mountain area for a few days before going back. These days, Wang Chuan made another plan for Qi, the Yiren want to develop agriculture and animal husbandry in both directions, build a horse farm here, graze horses and sheep outside the mountains after the spring, and move into this place after the winter. Later, the Yi people mainly used donkeys and horses as commodities to exchange with the Huaiya tribe and the river tribe. If there is a surplus, it will enter the Qin Pass in two or three years and supply it to Lambla. Proper division of labor and resource sharing are Wang Chuan's requirements for the construction of several major tribes in the north.
To farm land and build a horse farm, and the two sides are so scattered and short of manpower, this is about to start annexing the surrounding tribes, and Wang Chuan easily got a merger plan.
Qi was already dizzy by Wang Chuan's continuous plans, and said: "You change your set for three days and five days, I can't do it, you let Ke stay for you to work." I'd like to go to the River Tribe to live a small life. ”
Wang Chuan said: "Small days also have to be paid for big things to live well, right?" What you are doing now is almost a hundred-year plan, let alone a hundred years, as long as you do it well for ten years, you have tens of thousands of people, thousands of horses, and then no one in the world will dare to embarrass you. ”
The ability to fool people, Wang Chuan is also the first in the world. He knows what a person thinks after eating and drinking. Self-realization or something, people may not have thought about it now, but Wang Chuan can draw one first, and then let people realize it.
Qi was moved by the temple that Wang Chuan said, and then he took the Yiren to grit his teeth.
Ray led people to run around, coaxing or deceiving those small tribes who had no meat to survive the winter, or recruiting or capturing them, and kept getting them back.
The newly brought people could not live in the village, so they built wooden houses at the bottom of the hillside for them to live in. The wooden house at the bottom of the hillside grew at the rate of sprinkling beans.
Bows and arrows were needed for battle, bridles were needed for horses, and clothes were needed for newcomers, so the old and weak were busy and began to make all kinds of handicrafts. The production of these required gelatin hides, and the new population also needed rations, so the fishermen and hunters wrapped themselves tightly and began to brave the wind and snow.
This is not the end, the horse farm in the north must also have a stronghold and a horse pen, and there must be a place inside and outside the valley, and a road should be opened in the middle, so the slaves were mobilized to participate in the construction of the north side.
Wang Chuan requires all members to learn the skill of horseback riding, regardless of age. I didn't have time to do a saddle stirrup or anything, so I rode a bareback horse. In order to tame a wild horse, in addition to the bridle head, the horse must also accept the habit of being ridden, which is also to ride a bareback horse. That's all you have to learn. After learning it, everyone will go to tame the wild horses.
It's not uncommon for beginners to fall off their horses or something. Everyone can only wear more clothes on their upper bodies to avoid falling injuries, and Wang Chuan also summarized a set of falling protection actions to reduce everyone's injuries.
Taming wild horses is really not a human thing, Wang Chuan is very glad that he tamed the horse king in the water, if it is on land, ten Wang Chuan don't want to get on the back of the horse king.
Tame wild horses saddle their heads with bridles, but not horseshoes. Horseshoe Wang Chuan is ready to keep a hand. On the one hand, this is a political consideration, and on the other hand, there is no mature technology on the Yiren side. In this era, there were basically no roads, horses could still walk on the grass, and the hooves were not so worn, and it was too late to get iron hooves back to the River Tribe.
This winter, Wang Chuan Taihe ran non-stop, guiding the Yi people in various jobs, occasionally soaking in the hot springs, and being tired for a few minutes, he would be disturbed by all kinds of animals. For example, baby elephants, horse kings, etc.
When winter turned to spring, the ice and snow melted, and two horse farms to the north of Yiren were finally built. The first thousand or so wild horses were driven into the horse farm outside the mountains. Wang Chuan moved to the south bank and began to teach the Yi people to farm.
In June of this year, the millet in front of the Yiren village grew to a foot tall, and the horses in the horse farm slowly adapted to the life of the horse farm. Wang Chuan selected more than 20 children and more than 200 docile horses from among the Yi people, and under the escort of more than 20 Yi warriors, he returned to the River tribe via Huaiyabu.
After a year of construction, the road up and down the Huaihu Lake has been opened. Stockades have also been built on both sides. After the beginning of spring, Huaiyabu has changed horses with the Yi people, and now the communication between the two villages only takes one or two hours, which can be described as stable as Mount Tai. Bihu Biqi and others have stayed in the river tribe for a long time, and the construction of farmland and water conservancy has also been very good. On the road up and down the Huaihu Lake, there are many small villages surrounded by farmland, which are responsible for farming.
Unlike Qi, Wang Chuan was about to go on the road after praising him, but he was left behind by Bihu. Bihu asked Wang Chuan to make plans and plans for all aspects of the development of the Huaiyabu. Wang Chuan was forced to be unable to do it, and it took half a month to get a comprehensive five-year plan for Bihu before he was released to the south.
But he didn't just let Wang Chuan go, he also got more than 100 children for Wang Chuan to take with him, and together with his daughter Nian'er, let Wang Chuan take them back to the River Tribe. The children used to go to school, and Nian'er settled down in the past. This is to completely treat Wang Chuan as a nanny. Wang Chuan did not agree, and in the end only thirty children were selected to accompany him. However, he asked for 10,000 catties of bronze for Bihu, plus thirty warriors to escort him.
Leaving the Huaiyabu, the team became hundreds of people, more than 200 horses, carrying seeds, bronze, wine, medicine, etc.
Although there are horses on the way, there are many children and women on the way, and the road is not faster than when they came. When everyone walked to Daze, north of the River tribe, the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed. But the River Tribe is just around the corner.
