Chapter 213: Reorganization
The catch of big fish makes the boat people return a lot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The belief that info can lead everyone to eat a full stomach is undoubtedly the best faith. The boat that Niu Fan went out also brought back a lot of fish, so that everyone's confidence in the sail was even stronger.
The fish caught on the first day were divided out for everyone to eat happily, and the next day the fish were brought back, and when the fish was divided, Wang Chuan made a small request. Each person went to the tidal flat to pick up a handful of rice in exchange. This requirement is nothing, and there is a lot of rice on the tidal flats of thousands of acres, and soon everyone will get a lot of rice back.
Everyone usually gets these paddies to satisfy their hunger, but everyone doesn't like these husks very much. Therefore, it is rarely picked until it is a last resort. Now there are quite a few left on the tidal flats. In fact, the best time for these paddies to taste is not when they are ripe, but when they just start to bow their heads. At that time, the millet was wrapped in rice milk, which was sweet and silky when chewed, and after chewing, the juice was swallowed, and the chaff could be spit out.
Wild rice and weeds are the same, because of the germination sequence, the growth cycle is also somewhat inconsistent, so the maturity time is also not consistent. Of the rice harvested, only half of it is ripe, a small part is still pulped, and some is grain.
No matter what Wang Chuan was, after he got it, he spread out the hides by the river to dry, and after they were dried, they were all brought back to the tribe to be processed. After planting the fields in the tribe for half a year, after the millet spit out the ears, he also specially arranged for two children to hold crossbow arrows to prevent the birds from pecking, and it is estimated that they will not be able to harvest 200 catties of millet. Here they were asked to go out and walk around the tidal flats and come back, and they got three or four hundred catties of grain. Let them get two more days, harvest all the millet on the tidal flats, and it is estimated that they can get a few hundred catties more, which is the biggest harvest of attacking the boat people.
With these millet and the harvest of the tribe, it will not be a problem to plant three to five hundred acres of land next year. In this way, the tribe can enter the agricultural era in advance. After leaving the seeds, maybe you can get some white rice for three or five catties more. Thinking of the fragrant white rice, Wang Chuan's saliva couldn't stop dripping. I eat meat and stems every day, and I've been thinking about this for a long time.
In the past few days of waiting for the tribe's support, Wang Chuan and the others carefully maneuvered with Abi, and the affairs of the Zhouren tribe were also mainly focused on maintaining stability. Fortunately, Bihu's injuries are getting better day by day, and after such an inspiring two battles, his combat power has faintly improved a little. This gave Wang Chuan and others more confidence to deal with emergencies.
Abiy, fearing an attack from the nearby tribes, repeatedly delayed the departure of the team he was about to send out to hunt the beasts. He also knew that the other tribes were busy hunting beasts now, and it was unlikely that they would bother to attack them. But because of the beast hunting news, many tribes will pass near the boat people, who knows if they will attack easily?
Abi was so worried, and within a few days, someone really came to the tribe along the way. And there are quite a few people who come.
The first to come was the Winter Bear.
Salt is definitely the first commodity among the many tribes along the Taijiang River. Most of the Winter Bear's retinue are people who are responsible for carrying the weight. With the unicycles, Winter Bear has a few more unicycles in his team.
When the winter bear was returning east from the Guyu tribe, he stopped by the boat tribe. When he arrived, his people and cart were loaded with meat. When others go to hunt for animals, they also have to work hard to bring meat back from other people's homes.
After arriving at the boatman tribe, he looked at the boatman who was busy building the shack and didn't say anything. When he saw the sailboat by the river, he hurried to the side of the boat and asked to see Elder Chuan or Bihu.
After seeing Wang Chuan and Bihu, Winter Bear blindly flattered, chatted politely, and visited the Dragon King sailboat, but he didn't even have time to see Abi, so he left ten backs of meat by the river and left quickly.
As agreed, soon after the Winter Bear left, the other tribes sent people over one by one. After seeing Bihu or Wang Chuan, he left a little meat or population, or something, and then left in a hurry. Generally do not see people from the boatman tribe.
However, in two or three days, the other five major tribes along the Taijiang River were all like this, and even the Haoxing tribe sent a few large bags of salt. And the heaviest gifts from the Nest People were ten adult warriors.
This made Zhuang Niu and the others look inexplicable, and they didn't understand why the people of these tribes left without saying anything in exchange.
Wang Chuan said: "This is a tribute. It's a gesture of goodwill to us. ā
At its root, tribute is one of nature's laws of survival. Traces of this behavior can be seen in the habits of many animals. After the lioness hunts, the male lion will eat first, otherwise the male lion will bite the lioness. After the wolves hunt, they will also let the first wolf eat first, and when the first wolf is full, the other wolves will eat.
At the end of the rowing competition, Bihu said that today would make the boatman no longer exist. In one day, the River tribe really conquered the boat people with thunderous means, which was undoubtedly unprecedented in the impact on the tribes of the Taijiang River. After the decisive battle between the River tribe and the thirty people of Haoxing against the thirty people, they felt that the River tribe had the strength to be on an equal footing with them, so they looked up to the River tribe by one point.
Their major tribes were hostile to each other, and for decades no one could help the other, thus forming such a situation where great tribes coexisted. Their strength is also comparable to that of the boat people. But the River Tribe can really conquer the River Tribe in one day, and this strength is not equal to theirs.
From today onwards, they will have to look up to the River Tribe, and in addition to being frightened, it is natural for them to offer gifts and please the River Tribe.
After receiving the tribute from these tribes, the boat people became more and more respectful to the river tribe. Eight days later, the hundred-man team of the River tribe arrived at the Boat Tribe. Wang Chuan's reorganization of the Zhouren tribe immediately took action.
From this day onwards, the Zhouren tribe was officially renamed the Sail Department. Abi was appointed as the leader and Niu Fan as the deputy leader.
Except for some of Abi's henchmen, everyone else was disorganized and regrouped. The leaders appointed by Abiy were still leaders, but they were randomly assigned to each group.
In the future, the sailers will take the group as a unit, eat and sleep together, and work together. After the group, after a simple run-in, everyone began to work. Some of them immediately set off for the hunt. Some of them cooperated with the River tribe to set up camps, and these people helped to carry the trees and peel the bark.
And the camp was built around the high ground. This high ground allows the original boaters to live, presumably without flooding and other problems. After the wall was built, the original cave was the center, and some land was leveled to build wooden houses to arrange more people. After the construction of this stockade, the biggest problem may be the lack of water, and Wang Chuan plans to solve this problem by digging a well.
This village can probably accommodate 400 people, because Wang Chuan planned, only about 300 people will be retained here. The rest of the people went back to the River Tribe. The remaining 300 people will also undergo a certain period of training to make them accept the idea that they are from the River tribe, or the descendants of the dragon.
