Section 378 Pursuit and Hope

Last fall, the cattle had their largest harvest ever.

Huge quantities of potatoes filled all the empty silos, and golden corn was piled up in the warehouse. The harvest of these two high-yielding crops alone was staggering, and in some villages where food was scarce for many years, people spontaneously knelt down in the direction of Pointe-Noire and prayed with the most reverent words to the gods to bless the great and happy regent forever.

Everyone was delighted by the heavy sense of satisfaction, and the old man was smiling as he looked at the fist-sized potatoes, and the children laughed and ran around the huge granary. Men are busier than usual at this time of year, enlarging the cellars before winter arrives and drying them with lime, so that the harvest can be stored for a long time and will not spoil and rot.

Potatoes are rich in starch, but because of their low sugar content, the taste of the brewed spirits is not very good, and it can only be regarded as average. According to the method taught by Tian Hao, people add a little syrup and water to the wine to make a drink with an alcohol content of about 20 degrees, and drink it happily at the harvest celebration.

According to the latest decree issued by the regent, women also receive gifts that are exclusive to them during this joyous season. This refers to cloth, which is dyed with special pigments to make cloth of different colors.

The northern barbarians have known how to use cinnabar since a long time. This mineral, which originates from the ground, has multiple functions, such as dyeing and medicinal use. Black dye is a more widely used source, and although it is not popular with barbarians, it is the most abundant and frequent of all tribes. This is because black has a special meaning in the eyes of barbarians. Authority, power, power, fierceness...... In short, it's a similar concept. But in fact, the real reason why black cloth is widely used in the folk is that black is dirt-resistant, unlike ordinary white cloth, which becomes full of stains after being worn a few times casually, and it is difficult to clean it thoroughly.

The blue dye comes from a wildflower in the northern mountains.

Orange dye comes from a special ore that lives in symbiosis with a layer of peat and must be rinsed with lime water to obtain.

There is also the color green, and its best source of dye is a plant rhizome......

All this is from the experience of the civilized era.

The men were amazed to find that in this harvest season full of joy and hope, women became more beautiful than before.

A thing called "soap" became the new dispenser. The palm-sized piece, with rounded corners and pale yellow and pink, has a pleasant aroma that gives the first impression of some kind of food, rather than being specially used for cleaning.

The regent was so kind to the women of his tribe that he developed a soap designated for their use. In contrast, men were treated much worse, and they were given large bars of soap. Although it is also used for cleaning, it has no aroma and dull color.

It is said to be made from precious blubber fat. This news is cherished by the people who get soap and soap. In this age of lack of oil and water, anything tied to "fat" becomes wealth.

The fleet has become larger than before. The harbor city is gradually replacing the fishing village of Panshicheng and becoming the new port and shipping center of the cattle people. Further north along the coastline, there are three other port cities under construction. Dockyards of different types were also being built at the same time, and distant-water fishing vessels modeled on the "Viper" were launched one after another.

The impact of an asteroid on Earth has brought civilization to a halt, and marine life that was once fished to near extinction has since ushered in a period of reproduction that has lasted for thousands of years. No one knows how many whales there are in the blue sea, but one thing is certain———— in this special era, Tianhao started the whaling industry that no one has ever set foot in.

According to Elizabeth and Aldrich's information collected from the southern part of the continent, whites were only new to whaling. They are not very interested in killing the big creatures in the ocean, mainly because they are not profitable. They have a well-developed breeding industry, and they can get enough fat from domestic pigs. The fat whale meat tastes average, and can even be said to be terrible. In contrast, whites prefer beef and venison. Their only need for whaling is baleen, which has excellent toughness and is an indispensable basic ingredient for making a lady's palace dress.

The cattle are not blubber.

There are so many whales in the sea that no matter which fleet there is a catch. From Liandu City to Rock City, and then to Thunderhorn City and Black Point City far inland, large and small warehouses are filled with barrels of blubber. The method is simple: the sailors and butchers cut the whale into long strips, cut the blubber into long strips, apply a lot of salt to the surface, and sprinkle a little spirit...... Although the recipe is simple, it is in line with the consistent taste of the northern barbarians for meat and fat.

From scarce to abundant, the residents of Rock City are the most vocal witnesses. Unlike Thunderhorn City and Black Horn City, which were only led by Tianhao in the later period, the people here have long used pickled blubber as a daily food. They already felt that it was too fatty, and even the pigs, who worked in the mines and were never picky about food, no longer considered it a delicacy first choice. Due to various considerations, Tianhao ordered that the distribution be replaced with pickled whale meat at the beginning of last year, and the blubber fat was chemically refined (trona) to make soap and supply to the public.

According to the viewpoint of the civilization period, the soap made by Tianhao at this stage is actually very coarse. Although he obtained the perfume formula from the "old mama", successfully extracted indole from the feces, and then added natural flavors such as ginger, pepper, cinnamon, etc., the fragrant smell in the soap could not be maintained for a long time. Under normal circumstances, when the seal is used for two-thirds of the time, it will not continue to retain the fragrance, and can only maintain a fixed color.

Despite these shortcomings, the women of the Niu clan are still happy. They wash their bodies with this special thing and show off their clean and beautiful faces.

The different colors of the cloth bring them a new picture. The world is no longer a single black, there are bright reds like fire, warm and youthful yellows, blue as the sky, and green ...... that are always associated with luxuriance

The popularity of lingerie is like the dawn passing over the cover of the night, showing a glimmer from the horizon little by little, and then spreading so smoothly.

In the era of civilization, it was proposed that "underwear is a goddamn weapon for men to bind women". There may be some truth to this statement, but Tianhao is not a sociologist, and he is not interested in exploring the function and meaning of underwear from that level. He is a pragmatist, and the use of specific substances only follows the good side.

Ayi and Tianshuang have become the best source of display for women's underwear. One is the queen and the other is the king's sister. In the eyes of the Niu people, they themselves are synonymous with dignity. Everyone yearns for beauty, and no one will be willing to fall. The use of underwear began with the two of them, then expanded to the entire handmaiden guard, and then spread.

The women of Rock City have fallen, and the women of Thunderhorn City are no exception, not to mention the women of Black Horn City......

After thousands of years of silence, the barbarian women of the northern continent have regained their exclusive clothing and displayed a more seductive posture in front of men.

The appearance of short skirts and hot pants is not abrupt. In the eyes of outsiders, it was the emergence of peat workshops that gave birth to these two meaningful new women's clothes.

Traditional trousers are not suitable in peat fields. Because the intensity of the work is not high, Tianhao stipulates that peat farm workers can only be women. They have to wear special boots and stir the crushed peat with their feet. On the one hand, it is too hot because of physical labor, and on the other hand, short skirts and hot pants are more suitable in this environment. The women who had been busy all day washed their bodies and changed into clean dresses in the bathhouse of the workshop, and on the way home, many men stared at them vigorously...... Especially in summer, the long legs of the white flowers are very eye-catching.

The reason why short skirt hot pants are strongly welcomed by cow women is that they can save fabric.

Genetic memory plays a partly supporting role, and many women have "seen" similar clothing in their dreams. At that time, they did not understand why the woman in the hazy dream was dressed like this. It wasn't until the same thing appeared in real life that it dawned on me, so I gladly accepted it without the slightest resistance.

For the first time, men find their wives so beautiful. It is the season when tigers are rampant in autumn, and the bright outfits make the women feel comfortable. Although the skin is darker, it is an extremely healthy wheat color. Each person's physical condition is different, and the exposed thighs are some fat and thick, and some appear slender. Dressed in shoes made of animal skins, they gathered together to taste delicious food, and toasted while chanting the name of the great regent, and from time to time bursts of laughter and singing.

Their breasts are so tall that they are said to be the special effect of that particular underwear. The round arms, part of the waist peeking out from the hem of the short blouse, the fat trembling slightly under the smooth skin as walking, swaying, and laughing, like ripples on the water.

This is an interpretation of "charm" from different angles, and it is a normal understanding of human beings living in this special era. Skinny women have no survival value here. They're either frail or downright slackers. Men only like strong and fat girls because they have enough strength to work in the fields, and a big butt means that they are easy to give birth. Instead of marrying a sick ghost who can't do anything and going home to add a burden to yourself, it is better to impress a fat paper weighing more than two hundred kilograms with flowers and romance.

Of course, the Great Regent was an exception.

From soap to clothing, Tianhao only made a small guide to the general public. The process of civilized society is not as simple as words, and having a full stomach is only the simplest necessary prerequisite. It is necessary to discover the desires of the barbarians from the depths, from the physical to the material, only in this way can they stimulate a steady stream of searching thinking.

The concept and mass use of money, from which the meaning arises.

They want more, more beautiful clothes, not the same black tunics.

They want something more delicious, including a variety of fresh fruits, fish from distant seas, and refreshing vegetable oils, rather than just mild, rough and hard dry bread.

They want spiritual enjoyment, such as music and art, poetry and stories, rather than being guided by the rising and setting of the sun every day, going to bed when it is dark when they have a wife, and having no woman to spend the long night alone.

They need to be honored through war, they need to gain power through constant hard work, and they need to live in spacious and luxurious houses through hard work...... Although time has passed, thousands of years have passed, the basic desires of human beings have not changed, and they are still the same.

In the time of those great sages, there was a famous saying————Poverty is not socialism."

Everything Tianhao has done has become the best footnote to this sentence.

The barbarians will not be poor forever, they must be allowed to see wealth and hope.

We are dragons.

We will show the world what we have with majesty and strength.

……

It was all last year.

Now, spring is blooming, and spring ploughing has ended.

White Deer City gathered 200,000 troops, and Tianhao personally sat in charge.

The internal situation of the Niu clan was stable, and Tianhao did not set up the post of "national teacher" according to the tradition, and he divided the huge high-level power circle into multiple departments such as the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Finance according to the practice of the civilized era.

All heads of departments are reliable. Wu Ji, for example, has undergone a spore transplant from Tianhao and is the most trusted Minister of the Interior.

It takes time for individual spores to develop, and not every surgery is successful. Tianhao can't convert everyone, so he can only choose the most valuable and successful people from them.

Support from the private sector translates into strong logistical supply capacity. The 200,000 Niu soldiers gathered in White Deer City completed their costume change last month. With the forbidden army under Yun Kai's jurisdiction as the main force, it is about to launch an attack on Bucks City.

The issue of the deer clan has been put on hold for a whole year. Tianhao, who sorted out the internal group, could finally free up his hands and solve it all at once. More than 600,000 deer people are a piece of fat, and more importantly, Red Moon City. As long as you capture this fortress, you can control the initiative in the war against the Tiger Clan.

The south gate of White Deer City was open, and Yun Kai, who was dressed all over, led 20,000 forbidden troops to stride out and head towards Buck City.

They possess the most elite weaponry of their time, and have the strongest defensive armor in the entire northern continent. Armed with artillery, they are invulnerable and invincible.

In the back, there were more than 100,000 baggage troops with a steady stream of supplies. Both food and ammunition are enough to last more than half a year of war.

Tianhao's request is only one ———— to solve the deer clan in the shortest possible time and turn this group into a part of the cattle clan.

The dragon totem must have beautiful antlers to look good.

In the wasteland, the fanatical cries of the warriors were heard.

"Long live His Royal Highness the Great Regent!"
