Chapter 99: Short-term Planning
Sometimes people get carried away by some new achievements and gains, disrupting their original plans and moving forward. This is the case now www.biquge.info Bihu of the pen. The appearance of iron tools and strong bows gave him hope of speeding up the development of the tribe. The population of the Dolphin Tribe has increased greatly by joining and exchanging, and he feels that expanding the tribe is not as difficult as he imagined. The Vulcan tribe and his party made him realize that the River tribe had the strength to dominate one side. At this time, the desire of the leader of his thousand-person tribe occupied his heart, making him wish to grow the tribe to more than a thousand people overnight, and then build a city and build a Guo to complete the blueprint drawn by Wang Chuan.
After listening to Wang Chuan's plan for the Diaodi tribe, Bihu said: "It's too slow. ”
Wang Chuan took out the map of the animal skin, pointed to the tribes marked on it, and said, "If you want to expand the tribe quickly, plundering is the best way. With the current population of our tribe, if we absorb those twenty slaves, we can send fifty warriors, and if we hire the people of the Xiniu tribe and the ransom salt clan with iron and pottery, this number can reach a hundred. If we were to arm these 100 men with crossbows and iron weapons, all the tribes within a radius of 300 kilometers would be conquered by us in less than a year. I expect there to be about five thousand people in this range. In this way, we can get about three thousand men...... I just want to ask, have you ever thought about how to feed these 3,000 people? ”
Bihu said: "They can't hunt on their own?" ”
Wang Chuan smiled: "They can hunt on their own." In order for them to feed themselves, they also have to be spread out in such a large area. So what's the difference between this and now? If they will listen to us after a round of fighting, then they will not have enough to eat, will they also come to us for food? So what do we get in this way? ”
These questions are clearly beyond Bihu's knowledge. He was silent, not knowing how to answer Wang Chuan's topic.
Wang Chuan said: "If I guessed correctly, the tribe you came from, when choosing a leader, should have chosen a person whose strength is not as good as yours. You were dissatisfied, didn't you leave and run away? ”
The green tendons on Bihu's forehead suddenly jumped up, and he asked in a low voice, "How do you know?" ”
He remembered that he had never spoken about it, and that he had no habit of dreaming. Could it be that Wang Chuan can really see through people's minds?
Wang Chuan said: "Don't be nervous. I just guessed. If that's the case, I know why they didn't choose you. ”
"They're just ......" Bihu was about to say something, but then he forced his emotions to ask, "What is the reason?" ”
Wang Chuan said: "To manage a tribe of 1,000 people, you need not only bravery, but also how to make the people of the tribe well-fed, warmly dressed, and comfortable. And you're clearly not very qualified in this area. ”
The truth is always hard to hear. After Bihu heard that he still had shortcomings, he almost had to argue, but in the end he held back. He knew that Wang Chuan had more knowledge than anyone he had ever met. Wang Chuan's words always make sense. Then he remembered his determination not to use his brain in front of Wang Chuan, and quickly calmed down his emotions after taking a few deep breaths according to the method of deep breathing taught by Wang Chuan, and said, "You mean to say that this method of plundering is not good?" So what do we do? ”
A cow man is a cow man, and if he is forced to this job, he can turn back by himself. To discover the past than the tiger is only afraid of the effort. Wang Chuan sighed secretly in his heart, and also turned his mind back and said: "Plundering just means that it won't work now. When our agriculture develops, it's time to use this method to get them to join our tribe. Before that, do you remember what we said by the river when we were chasing tooth injuries? ”
Bihu said: "Yes." You say that our current survival foundation is too weak, and letting him out is a fire. After the beginning of spring, we will investigate one by one in the name of exchange, and we will not let the tooth injury stay in the tribe that can be reached in the vicinity of our tribe for thirty days. ”
Wang Chuan said: "The tooth wound has not been released, so we have to light the fire ourselves." Really go to these tribes to exchange after the beginning of spring. With these pottery, salt or insect beaters that we have now. If we are friendly, we will win them over and support them, tell them about our legends and inventions, and bring their children to the tribe to be raised. What wasn't kind to us, we secretly wrote it down. When we have our hands free, we will destroy them one by one. After a few years, those children will be put back, and they will all become our fire. At the same time, we are planting and domesticating within the tribe to find ways to get more food. As soon as we have enough food, these people will naturally move closer to us. In this way, I believe that in less than ten years, all the surrounding tribes will become the people of our river tribe. When the time comes, how many people will there be in our tribe? ”
Bihu was dissatisfied: "It's still too slow." ”
It wasn't at all the same as he thought it would be vigorous. He also worked hard to make bows and crossbows, trying to attract the people of the Diaodi tribe, thinking that he could go out to fight in the spring. If he acts in this way, he will have to be like a winter bear when he goes out in the spring, and he will not be happy to think about it.
Of course, there is still a lot more to build for bows and crossbows. This year, even if you don't go out to fight, you can't be bullied.
I discussed the work plan after the spring with Bihu. The focus for the coming year is there. I will mention these things to my mother and a few leaders again, and clarify everyone's direction. Other people don't have as many ideas as Bihu's side, and they generally don't have any opinions.
After all, the carving flute is a child, and after arriving at the River Tribe, he looks at everything new, and he doesn't want to leave. Last time, I was in a hurry to get the pregnant woman back to nurse the baby, but this time, looking at her appearance, she won't leave without playing with all the things of the River Tribe.
After Bihu communicated with her family, she simply decided to do the marriage of the carved flute and the strong cow. It's okay to never leave.
Weddings are something new to the flute. She was cleaned like a marionette, put on new clothes made by the tribesmen improvised from the most gorgeous animal skins, and worshipped heaven and earth under the singing of the bark, all the way without knowing what she was saying, her eyes rolling around, grinning from time to time, not knowing what she was rejoicing.
It was also a joy to let two inexperienced people into the cave room. The two of them entered the newly built wooden room, and the people outside helped them close the door, and in less than a minute, the two of them ran out separately. Zhuang Niu said that there was space inside, and the two of them were not sure to sleep for one night, so they let Wang Chuan and others live in it together. The flute ran to her family, and showed off her gorgeous animal skin clothes with them, as if she had done the same outfit to change them.
Wang Chuan didn't have the heart to look at the two primitive cave rooms, and he didn't know how tragic the scene inside was. In the end, he was so entangled that he had no choice but to stuff the baby elephant into the wooden room to keep them company. It is estimated that it will be a few years before the baby elephant will come into heat, so it should be no problem to receive more education.
On the day of the marriage of the strong ox, the tribe also held a ceremony to join the clan. Several of the slaves were exchanged, and the most active ones were cut off their bangs and joined the River Tribe.
