Chapter 44 Construction
The construction work began in the afternoon of the day when the Yan people arrived in the hills and celebrated the establishment of Huadu.
Lin Yuan didn't tell anyone the news of the appearance of the watch, he silently turned off the watch, and continued to command everyone to carry out the construction work.
The things mentioned in the watch, including the establishment and ranking of civilizations around the world, as well as the new "mission", it is better not to tell anyone else for the time being.
After all, they are just a bunch of primitive people who can't understand so much content.
And Anna, Lin Yuan hesitated for a long time, and finally decided not to tell her, not because he didn't trust her, but because, as the chief of the tribe, Lin Yuan had the responsibility and obligation to hold the major secrets related to the tribe's civilization.
And the information displayed by the watch is the biggest secret of the Yan tribe at present, the Yan tribe, which is no longer an ordinary tribe, but a tribe that has shouldered a great mission.
"Return the timeline to normal", "Eliminate the time anomaly factor, target civilization: Jiuli - Chiyou"
The content of these two missions, Lin Yuan has always kept in mind, since this is the reason why the watch brought him to the ancient era, then, sooner or later, he will have to face this task.
I really didn't expect that the Jiuli clan, who had always been against him, was actually the enemy he would eventually face in this era, Lin Yuan didn't know whether to smile bitterly or be excited.
The Jiuli tribe, if the information that the eggplant told Lin Yuan is accurate, should probably be the most powerful tribal alliance in the mountains, this small tribe that originated in the wild land of Shannan - the Chiyou tribe, led by a legendary character "God of War", has developed from a weak tribe to the incorporation of the 8 tribes in Shannan, and wiped out countless terrifying tribes in the northern part of the mountain, the Jiuli tribe.
Although Lin Yuan had eliminated the headhunters, devil clans, and Shenmu groups in the Jiuli clan, they still had the remaining six tribes, not to mention, during this time, when the Yan clan migrated, perhaps, it was not impossible for the Jiuli clan to develop and grow again.
At present, the population of the Yan nationality is about 2,000 people, and the number of Jiuli nationality is conservatively estimated to be more than 10,000 people.
The difference in strength is not one or two points.
However, for Lin Yuan, he still has a chance.
Because he still has time.
Thanks to this strategic shift, Lin Yuan successfully stayed away from the mountains full of strife, and in this quiet wilderness, the Yan tribe was the only tribe, and they were here, without the harassment of the Jiuli tribe, they were able to develop safely.
Perhaps, if Lin Yuan's plan went well, when they developed a strong enough strength in this plain, they could kill back to the mountain, destroy the Jiuli Clan, and complete the task of watching.
If we kill the Jiuli people, will the watch end our mission and let us return to the 21st century in advance?
Lin Yuan couldn't help but fantasize that he couldn't help but get excited when he thought that he might be able to return to the 21st century, maybe he could see his parents again.
This quest must be completed!
Lin Yuan made up his mind.
"King Yan! The camp has already started to be built, is there anything else you would like to command? Ye walked up to Lin Yuan with the two slaves and said.
Since Lin Yuan handed over the affairs of slave management to Ye, he has found more and more that Ye seems to have a natural talent for slave management, which may be due to the fact that Ye himself is a descendant of the Shannan barbarian Yu clan, he has a natural ferocity towards captives, and he will not have any soft heart, and this deterrent is the most important element in managing slaves.
Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, he followed the industry to inspect the camp that had just been established, one after another dwarf tents were erected on the hills under the hard work of the slaves, these tents were still made of the materials they had made during the migration, a few blackened wooden sticks, and a number of animal skins.
Lin Yuan frowned, this kind of tent was just an expedient measure in the process of migration, but if he wanted to build a permanent city here, this kind of tent would definitely not work, he needed more building materials.
"Is Big Tooth there? Karma, go and find the big teeth. Lin Yuan commanded.
After a while, Big Tooth came running with several hunters.
"Big Tooth, there is a mission, you will take 10 hunters and 50 slaves, set off early tomorrow morning, and return to the valley along the road we came, your task is to cut down trees, not too thick and not too thin, about this thick."
Lin Yuan stretched out his arm, gestured, and nodded hurriedly.
"Pick a tree with a straight trunk and a hard texture, willow and pine are the best, poplar is second, not shrubs!"
Big Tooth agreed, and was about to turn around and leave, but Lin Yuan suddenly stopped him again.
"Remember, be sure to set off early tomorrow morning, when the sun comes out, and no matter how many trees you cut down, always return to camp before the sun goes down! Don't venture out at night! Remember? ”
Big Tooth nodded vigorously, what his King Yan said was right, for this wilderness, their Yan clan is still a newcomer, and it doesn't matter during the day, God knows what other beasts there are besides wild wolves at night.
"King Yan, it's better for me to take the slaves with me, these slaves listen to me......" Ye took the initiative to ask Lin Yuan for help.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and said, Yes, you come with me, you still have more important work to do.
Lin Yuan walked through the camp with karma and walked towards the back of the camp, and on the way, they ran into Anna.
Anna was busy tanning hides with a group of children.
"Ahh King Yan! Anna suddenly noticed Lin Yuan walking by, her pretty face turned red, and she hurriedly said hello.
Lin Yuan responded with a smile, no matter from which angle, in this world full of primitive people, Anna has the special beauty charm of modern people, which will always be eye-catching.
"Qiao Jing is gone, these children need to be taken care of...... I see that everyone is busy, and I can't help much, so I have to play with the children......"
Anna said with some embarrassment.
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and then he said to Anna in a serious tone:
"It's hard work, it's not easy to take care of a child, and, on the contrary, it's a great job, you know, teacher, an engineer of the human soul...... I want you to be the soul engineer of our Yan clan now...... Do you understand what I mean? ”
Anna was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, she understood.
Lin Yuan straightened up, smiled encouragingly at Anna, and said, "Very good!" Anna, let's start teaching these children from data and Chinese characters, and I'll leave it to you, I have other things to do......"
After completing the order, Lin Yuan took Ye to the back of the camp, where under the hills, there was an endless swamp.
After Lin Yuan looked around, he bent down, picked up a branch, and drew a simple sketch on the ground, which was the large swamp in front of Lin Yuan.
The marshland, in an approximate fan, radiates along the hills to the confluence of two rivers not far away.
"Karma, next, what I want to hand over to you is a matter of the most important thing for our tribe." Lin Yuan said earnestly, and he took out two leather bags from his arms, one white and one brown.
One was the millet seeds he found in the spoils of the Devil Clan's extermination, and the other was the soybean seeds they had obtained by killing the Sabertooth Tiger in the Pods.
Lin Yuan used a tree branch to draw a dividing line on the map and said:
"From here, here to the west, near the great river, plant this pack of seeds, millet." Lin Yuan handed the white skin bag to Ye, and then continued: "The other half, planting this bag of seeds, soybeans, this half of the land is leaning against the hills, and the land is relatively dry, which is easy to take care of. ”
Ye solemnly took the two packets of seeds and bowed respectfully.
"The method of planting is still according to the way I taught you when we were in the cave, using a stone spear, or a bone blade, to dig a small pit in the ground, and then put the seeds in it. After planting, immediately irrigate with water, just water it, you don't have to flood it! ”
Karmic nodded and took the order.
Lin Yuan looked at the endless swamp in the distance, and began to imagine what the harvest would look like after successful planting in the future.
As long as the planting is successful, his Yan people can be regarded as breaking away from the primitive society in the true sense and entering the agricultural era, only through agriculture, after obtaining stable food, they can get rid of the hungry and full hunting life, and from then on, they can accumulate strength to develop civilization.
According to Lin Yuan's plan, he divided the swamp into two parts, the drier places to grow soybeans and the wetter places to grow millet.
In fact, he is not very clear about the best time and place to plant these two crops, because he is not a professional farmer after all, but with his experience, he is still confident that he can plant successfully, after all, he is the first to start planting in primitive society......
Oh yes, it should be the first person in Asia, if the watch display is not wrong, then there are 15 other civilizations in the world that are doing the same thing at this moment, and everyone is trying to develop.
You have to work harder, Lin Yuan gave himself more energy.
When he returned to the center of the camp, he found that the tribe's makeshift tents had basically been set up, at least, the big guys had a place to rest for the time being.
In addition, at the entrance of the hill, a small pile of reddish-brown moist soil appeared, which was the clay that Lin Yuan had ordered his slaves to mine in the morning.
"Report to Lord Yanwang...... I'm sorry, but the clay is too heavy, and we slaves only brought these ......."
A dark-skinned hunter bowed and said, Lin Yuan noticed that he was one of the hunters who had arranged to protect the clay mine at that time.
Lin Yuan bent down and touched the clay with his hands, the texture was soft and wet, it was a very ideal material, this time the slaves did not have suitable tools, they basically wrapped the clay with animal skin clothes on their bodies, and carried them all the way, although it was only 5 square meters so much, but this should also be the limit of the slaves.
Lin Yuan nodded, although the number was not much, it was enough for the time being, he needed to experiment with what he had in mind, if it was successful, then he would have to consider dividing some more slaves to mine clay.
It's annoying, manpower is always insufficient, especially in this period when full-scale construction has just begun.
"Yan Wang ......"
Hou Yi had just come down from the sentry post and saw Lin Yuan standing by a pile of red dirt, so he came over curiously.
"Lord Yanwang...... Smooth? Isn't this the red mud we just passed, wow, these slaves are so obedient, they moved the mud so quickly? King Yan, King Yan! What are you going to do with this? ”
Hou Yi asked beside Lin Yuan with a hippie smile, saying that Tong Yan is unscrupulous, this Hou Yi is indeed naughty, and he does not have the feeling of reverence that other primitive people have for Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan didn't care, on the contrary, he admired Hou Yi's character very much, perhaps, in a few years, when Hou Yi grew up, he could let him take over the position of the blade and manage the entire Yan Clan Hunter Team.
"King Yan! You don't just want this mud to play with, haha......"
Hou Yi had already started playing on the clay mound, his hands covered with red clay, and he rubbed out a slender bow and arrow-like model in his hands.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and in front of everyone, said loudly:
"Of course not, this pile of red clay is not ordinary mud, and I want to make something very important out of it: pottery."
