Chapter 31

Gluttonous hemp seeds in corn are almost unforgivable acts in the eyes of primitive people who have a bigger problem than the sky, and in modern society, they must be scolded as shoddy profiteers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen someone discovered that the grain traded by the hill tribe was mixed with a large amount of hemp seeds, there was almost an uproar.

But after Long Qiupeng heard this, he showed an expression of surprise on his face, and instructed Dahu: "Find a safe place to put these things, and when they arrive at the stream, let her find someone to seriously separate the seeds." ”

When Long Qiupeng turned these grains into seeds, some of the Tao tribesmen understood his intentions. Yes, if you think of these things mixed with corn and hemp seeds as food, it is really too deceitful. But if you look at these things as seeds, they can be considered priceless.

After all, there were floods before this year, and fires afterward, and not a single seed was left of the Furnace tribe. The foundation of agricultural production was almost zero, and Long Qiupeng had been thinking about how to find grain seeds in a short time to restore the tribe's agricultural production.

Today, these seeds came uninvited, not to mention the broken copper and iron in the semi-warehouse, even if they were all given to the hill tribe in exchange for these seeds, he felt that it was worth it.

To say that those weapons are broken is not to say that they are not worth much, or that military development is not important. As early as when Long Qiupeng took over the Long tribe, he understood that military technology development is the basic skill of a clan and bloodline to survive in a barbaric land, and today, he has a clearer understanding that military development is the foundation of the tribe and the top priority of its life.

You know, if modern society wants to start a war, there is a United Nations condemnation, and there is a humanitarian relief. A large number of small countries are seeking a way to survive in the gap between the interests of the big powers. But primitive society is a game with simple rules: big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.

Therefore, weapons are important, very important, and even slightly more important than the issue of seeds, after all, the Dragon tribe is relatively sufficient for food now, and the issue of developing agriculture can be slowly explored after the spring of next year. However, Long Qiupeng still boldly accepted the deal because these weapons were no longer working.

The Furnace tribe is well armed, but since the Bulgar side has been around for a while, many weapons seem to have not been used for a long time. Some weapons have been idle for too long, and you don't need to look at them to know that the quality will drop a lot. On the other hand, the weapons of the Furnace tribe are almost a copy of the weapons of the Stone Age, but the parts of other materials are replaced by bronze parts, there is no innovation at all, and the degree of practicality is not very high.

Long Qiupeng, who was originally thinking about innovating those weapons, didn't feel that there was anything to pity losing those weapons. On the contrary, it was the hill tribe that had to take so many weapons, which made him feel a little suspicious.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and it was Yan Yan who took Qingmang and his cronies to the Qiutu tribe to negotiate in person. After Yan Yan threw himself into the lake, Qingmang and some of Yan Yan's diehards also died after self-defeat. So now no one in the tribe knows the details of the tribe in the mound at that time, only that the mound is a tribe in the north, and it takes a day to walk and two to three days to carry goods.

Judging from the appearance of the mound tribe, the hill tribe should basically lack nothing, and his ultimate goal of exchanging seeds for weapons basically cannot escape two possibilities: weakening the furnace clan, increasing his military power, or both.

But no matter which one it is, it reveals a kind of information: the other party is also a military tribe, the closest to the Dragon tribe, and the biggest threat known so far.

"Lu, send someone to follow them, try to collect as much information as possible and come back......" Just when everyone was still jubilant around those seeds, Long Qiupeng felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he ordered Lu to take the opportunity to send someone to find out the other party's situation. This time, Long Qiupeng didn't want to be beaten passively.

The new Dragon tribe is also in ruins, but the core members have not yet gathered, and Long Qiupeng is also empty-minded, but he also knows that he can't be impatient, so he has been helping Dahu clean up the items left behind by the Furnace tribe.

Long Qiupeng never had the time to establish the completed text and number system, everything was counted by his brain, and Dahu seemed to have some limits. Under the premise that the primitive human brain capacity is small, Dahu has too many things to remember as a technological nerd.

Because of this, the original supplies have always been managed by the stream, but now that the stream has not yet arrived, there is always a need for someone to take over the work of the stream. Long Qiupeng looked at the big lake and counted for a while, and then began to be stunned, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Dahu saw that it was Long Qiupeng coming, so he said: "I'll write down the number just now, and then count the next item, otherwise it's easy to forget, I remember a lot of data recently." ”

Long Qiupeng sighed and asked, "How much has been counted?" ”

Dahu didn't think much about it, so he reported the number he had counted to Long Qiupeng one by one, but what he didn't expect was that Long Qiupeng took a short knife and listened, and scraped a smooth surface on the wooden stake on one side, so that the later engraving was painted for a long time. After he finished speaking, Long Qiupeng also stopped. Then he said to the Great Lake, "These have been written down." After that, he knocked on the paintings, or symbols, on the wood, to show that he was all that. Then he said, "Go ahead and count, I'll write down the rest when the list is over." ”

After saying this, Dahu felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and his eyes were full of surprise and frustration. The people in the Long tribe all felt that Long Qiupeng was a god descending from heaven and could see things they couldn't see, so most of the clansmen couldn't understand Long Qiupeng's behavior at all, but there were two exceptions: the deer who could understand Long Qiupeng's EQ, and the big lake that could understand Long Qiupeng's IQ.

But at this time, Dahu didn't know how Long Qiupeng's hooked circles recorded this information, and what kind of principle it worked. He felt his sense of superiority take a hit, and he looked a little frustrated.

Long Qiupeng patted Dahu on the shoulder and said, "There's nothing magical about this, I'll teach you when I go back!" But not now, time is running out, and I have to solve the problem in front of me first. ”

Hearing Long Qiupeng say that he wanted to compare himself, Dahu was surprised and delighted, so he continued to be busy with himself. Leaving Long Qiupeng alone there to study these weapons in the arsenal.

He began to close his eyes, carefully recalling every detail of the people of the Hill Tribe, especially the few guards who followed him.

As he had observed, the two tribes were of comparable technology, and those men did not have anything beyond the early Bronze Age. In terms of the type of weapons, both sides are mainly melee hand-to-hand fighters, and among the few people Long Qiupeng saw, they were basically spearmen, but one person in the crowd saw that he was using an axe.

Although the leading young man had a bronze short sword pinned to his body, according to Long Qiupeng's estimates, in the early Bronze Age, there was no forging process in the world at all, and the bronzes were cast first and then polished, and they still did not have the technology to make a sword. Therefore, the nature of the sword on the young man's waist should be similar to the nature of the sword that Qing Mang once wore, it is more like a ritual weapon to show strength and identity, and it is not necessarily truly aggressive.

The inventory of the Furnace tribe is much rougher, and almost all of them are bronze spears with clear water, and the style is not special. Then there were some bronze arrows, while the bow still retained the original manufacturing process without any improvements.

The Hillland tribe has a car, and the craft of making it seems to be quite perfect, and they should be able to make any kind of car they want. Comparatively speaking, Lushi's cars are still in their infancy, and almost all of them are used to pull goods, or copper ore. It's rough and needs technical improvements. But in order to make a chariot, an important strategic material is also needed, and that is horses. The Furnace tribe didn't have horses, and the Mounds tribe didn't know if there were any, anyway, there were two ox carts coming this time.

But the furnace has a ship, and the manufacturing process is not bad. However, the Mounds tribe was an inland tribe, and the craft of shipbuilding did not seem to have any effect on the confrontation between the two tribes. It's just that Long Qiupeng can rest assured that they won't suddenly attack or sneak attack them on the lake.

Comparing all the way, the two tribes are similar in strength and on equal footing. If there is a real war between the two tribes, it is really difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom, and the outcome is unpredictable.

In fact, Long Qiupeng doesn't like this kind of battle very much, and most of the battles with great disparities in victory and defeat are psychological warfare, which is familiar to Long Qiupeng, who has been in modern society all year round.

On the contrary, the closer the strength, the less effective psychological warfare will be. Both sides will have a mentality that if you fight to the death, you can win, and if you relax, you will die, and the final victory or defeat will have to be fought the battlefield.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and if you want to fight a good battle, it is indispensable to have a team with excellent quality. In the beginning, when there were few people in the tribe, the so-called military management was more like bandits pulling poles in the cottage.

Now that there are more and more people in his own tribe, and the opponents he needs to face are becoming more and more tough, it is not a good thing to continue to develop like this. Long Qiupeng plans to grasp both management and technology, and both hands should be hard. To establish a decent military system for the Long tribe, Long Qiupeng planned to start from two aspects: the army training system and the reform of weapons and equipment.

"It's quite troublesome...... Long Qiupeng's mind was full of all kinds of things, a little unorganized, so he sighed unconsciously.

Lu didn't hear clearly, so he asked Long Qiupeng: "Chief, is there anything wrong?" ”

Only then did he realize that he had been standing in the armory for a long time like Dahu just now. He looked up at the sun outside and began to walk out, saying to the deer as he went, "It's nothing...... I wonder when your sister will arrive? ”

It's really a coincidence, before Long Qiupeng's words fell, he saw someone coming from the direction of the river bank in twos and threes.

Naturally, the bears who took the lead went back to pick them up, followed by Xi and the other ladies of the tribe.
