Chapter 212: Sails

I spent the night in apprehension. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAt dawn, one of the wounded who remained on the boat died unexpectedly. This injured person was not a wound treated by Wang Chuan, he was still alive and well in the evening, and Wang Chuan didn't care about his injury. When he woke up at dawn, he found that his bleeding had not stopped, and he had died of excessive blood loss.

This kind of death is much sadder than dying on the battlefield.

Wang Chuan and Bihu watched the man being carried off the boat, and did not blame the person who helped him treat his wounds, and each thought about it.

Wang Chuan came back to his senses first and said, "The tribe is now counted as a thousand people, what are your plans?" ā€

Bihu came back to his senses and said, "I don't have any plans. ā€

Wang Chuan said: "Then what are you thinking?" ā€

Bihu said: "I'm thinking, as a leader, how to avoid this kind of thing from happening. ā€

In just one year, the River Tribe has expanded to its current size, and Bihu has been involved in almost everything. This year was also the most learned year of his life. His previous efforts were to build the River Tribe into a thousand-person tribe. Now the River tribe can be said to have thousands of people, and at this time, Bihu found that in order to be the leader of a thousand-person tribe, the sacrifices, calculations, rhythms, and inheritance methods that he had mastered before were far from enough. To be the leader of a tribe of a thousand people, he still has to continue to study.

Wang Chuan said: "You have finally put yourself in the role of a leader, unlike before, like a martial artist...... I was thinking of ways to put an end to that. Now there are quite a few people from the tribe. When we straighten this side out, I think we should get a professional army out. There may not be many people, but there must be a complete set of things to deal with the war and reduce losses. ā€

Bihu said: "Go back and tell me about the army." How do you want to arrange this? ā€

Wang Chuan said: "Build this place into a stronghold of the River tribe in Taijiang, and slowly build a water village and a wharf." Take control of the Taijiang River. ā€

Controlling Taijiang or something, that is naturally a matter of the future. The task at hand is still to appease the hearts of the boat people, and to recruit the people here when the large army of the River tribe arrives.

Soon after dawn, Abi came with dark circles under his eyes. He thought about it all night, but he still didn't have much confidence in being a good leader, how to prevent other tribes from attacking and find enough food to feed the people here.

How to be a good leader, Wang Chuan had to let him explore by himself, and he couldn't teach these things for a while. To prevent other tribes from attacking, Wang Chuan's used the most simple and crude method: immediately send people out to inform the other tribes on the edge of the Taijiang River, starting today, the Zhouren tribe has changed its name to the Fengfan Department, which is a subordinate tribe of the River tribe, and it is not willing to come to war.

After the people were sent out, they didn't care about how the other tribes would react when they heard the news. Wang Chuan discussed with Abi about such a solution to the food problem.

According to Wang Chuan's meaning, everyone stopped fishing and hunting in the past two days, and set up the shack where everyone wanted to live first. Then Abi selected fifty or sixty men and two hundred women, and under the leadership of the River tribesmen, they participated in the hunt. But it is obviously unlikely that the meat brought back by more than 200 people will feed the whole winter, including six or seven hundred people who are attached to small tribes.

Faced with Abi's complaints, Wang Chuan asked directly: "Then what do you want to do?" ā€

Abi said, "I want a wheelbarrow." ā€

None of them are stupid people, and their ideas all make sense. With the addition of wheelbarrows, more meat can certainly be fetched, and the identity of the boatman tribe with the new leader will rise immediately.

But Wang Chuan didn't want to make unicycles all over the place all at once. Moreover, if the Boat People immediately embraced the new leader, the River Tribe would be passive if they wanted to control the place. So Wang Chuan rejected his request for a wheelbarrow: "The production of wheelbarrows is complicated, and there are not many of them. Even too much is not necessarily good for you. When the other tribes see how many wheelbarrows you have, they are afraid that you will be robbed before you reach the place. Now you are not as powerful as before. ā€

Abi thought about it for a while, and asked in a panic: "What should I do then?" ā€

Wang Chuan said: "Since you have changed your name to Fengfan and joined the River Tribe, of course the River Tribes will not sit idly by. Unicycles don't have them, but we can help you figure it out from other angles. Do you think that's good? First, we can provide you with salt. Then you will not have to exchange meat for salt. This saves a lot of meat. Second, you 10 to 14-year-olds get to the River Tribe. We'll keep it for you, and after five years, when they're adults, we'll send them back. Thirdly, the River tribe will have some labor that requires human hands in the winter. When the time comes, you can get the surplus manpower to us. Meat we offer. Fourth......

Wang Chuan patted the boat under his hand, and continued: "The sail is not just for seeming. ā€

The more Wang Chuan's words were spoken, the brighter Abi's eyes became. With the support of Wang Chuan's methods, what is the difficulty of passing through the winter?

Bihu looked at Wang Chuan, and his heart was full of sighs. It is possible to talk about the population of the co-opted people to such a point, and they are still grateful to Dade, which is the ability. I still have to learn.

Wu Wu, who was still curled up in the cabin, was full of sadness, sure enough, not everyone was suitable to be the leader. She couldn't wait to shout to Abi: If he gets your child away, you will die, where will there be anyone in the boat in the future?

Abi finally set his sights on the sailboats and said, "It's really ......."

Wang Chuan affirmed: "It's really powerful, or let's try it now." ā€

Sailing in the Taijiang River before, he saw a lot of huge fish along the way, and Wang Chuan's hands were itchy for a long time. The boat was equipped with all kinds of fishing tools, but it was just that I was busy with the road at that time, so I didn't make a move. Now going out on a sailboat to catch a fish is more beneficial to appease people's hearts, so what are you waiting for?

Bihu stayed behind with the Dragon King, and Wang Chuan and Niu Fan each set off with a carp. Wang Chuan asked Abi, the new chief, to establish his prestige and take him on the ship.

Due to the limitation of tools and boats, all the departments of the Taijiang River fish on the Taijiang River, and they all catch small fish. There is nothing you can do about a fish that grows to a certain size. There are also no fierce fish such as sharks in the Taijiang River, which makes the fish grow to a certain size and become free of natural predators. Therefore, the big fish of the Taijiang River live a leisurely life.

Soon after the boat went out, it entered a still water area, and a large fish was seen swimming freely at the bottom of the boat. It looks like a meat-eating eel.

There are no spearguns with barbs, but there are quite a few iron hooks with thick fingers. On the way, he caught some palm-sized fish with a net, Wang Chuan chopped them down casually, and after losing three or five, he put them on with a hook and threw two hooks down.

No one can pull such a big fish, and the rope is tied to the side of the boat.

Not long after the hook was dropped, the rope suddenly tightened, and the boat tilted a little. Wang Chuan was still wondering if he should slip the fish along the strength of the fish first, and the strong bull was already holding a spear and shouted: "Quickly get off the net." ā€

A wide net was thrown down, and then two people pulled the net, and the two pulled the rope of the hook, and several people worked together to pull the fish to the surface. The bull and Abi each had a spear and stabbed at the fish. The fish suffered from pain, and struggled violently beside the boat, and the splash was filled with blood beads, which only doused the heads and faces of a few people on the boat.

Several people wanted to pull the fish to the boat, but Wang Chuan saw that the fish was no less than a thousand catties and his body was long, so he was afraid that the boat would be dismantled. The fish struggled and broke the net, and Abi tried to catch the tail. But where can the slippery fish hold on? In a hurry, Wang Chuan picked up a rope tied to the side of the boat and tied a slipknot, and saw the opportunity to put the slipknot on the fish's tail.

At this time, the fish broke out of the net. But its tail was restrained, and no matter how much it struggled, it could no longer swim away.

Everyone looked at Wang Chuan in admiration. Wang Chuan wiped a handful of water droplets from his face and said, "I'm learning now." Drag it back. ā€

The sailboat returned less than two hours after it came out. Back in the boatman tribe, the fish dragged in the stern of the boat was still struggling. When the boat docked, everyone worked together to drag this fish that was no less than a thousand catties ashore. The boatmen were soon surrounded by three layers on the shore.

They had never caught this big fish, and they had never seen anyone catch it. In the legend under the bonfire, this big fish is a man-eating monster, and there are no longer a few people who swim in the river who are chased by this big fish. Even if you are rowing, you usually avoid it.

Now the people of the River tribe and Abi have actually caught this kind of fish, how amazing is this? This is much more impactful than the hunting methods that the people of the River tribe talked about under the campfire.

"It's a fish that the sails dragged back. Only with sails can we get such a big fish. With sails, we'll never go hungry again! Abi tried to jump on the fish, but he couldn't stand still, and then he tore off a piece of the fish with great effort and threw it into the air. Wang Chuan casually shouted behind the people: "Sail!" ā€

"Sail!"

"Sail!"

"Sail!"

The crowd was enthusiastic.
