It's spring, and most of the species here aren't ripe.

Soybeans, rice, sugar beets, grapes, ...... I have enough patience to wait, and everything that lies ahead is bright.

Tianhao ordered everyone to search carefully.

It was the result he had expected that the base had long since been dilapidated, with no working machinery, no weapons, no functioning energy systems, and no optical brain inquiry devices similar or identical to the old mama.

In addition to the plants that grow wild all over the mountains, the largest number of them are glass shards. Most of their edges have long since been polished, and with enough time and patience, these pieces can be collected and assembled into beakers, measuring cups, distillation tubes, and various types of containers.

According to Tianhao's order, Tianmad led people to cut down a tree from the neighborhood, cut off the bark with an axe, and cut it into rough planks.

Tianhao chose the thickest and hardest part of the center of the plank, buried it deep in the ground, and erected a two-meter-high monument.

He used a red-hot dagger to engrave four large characters on the surface of the wooden tablet: A forty-three.

Tianmad couldn't understand it, scratched his bare head and asked, "Third child, what does this mean?" ”

"There have been some great people here, and they're heroes." Tianhao explained lightly. The wooden monument stands at the top of the cliff, which has a unique view, and below is a valley more than a few hundred meters deep, and some plants have small yellow flowers, swaying slightly in the warm spring breeze.

It was an era full of beautiful dreams, but also a time full of contradictions.

No one saw that there was a crystal brilliance in Tianhao's eyes, flickering slightly.

Actually, I don't want to be some damn sleeper at all.

If I could turn back time, I'd rather it never happened.

Immortality and resurrection, entangled with time in the long years...... Chasing each other...... It sounded fascinating, but it wasn't what I wanted. My fate is ravaged, like those humans who have died. Right now...... Right now...... Right now...... Everything is done that has nothing to do with dreams, purely just to live.

Who can understand me?

It's an immensely vast world, unfolding in depth in the depths of my eyes, I can see the distance beyond the mountains, smell the air full of infinite opportunities, and yet...... I'm exhausted.

Many things cannot be refused, like resurrection, like parasitism. The ignorant barbarian boy Tianhao couldn't resist fate, and so did the ancient Tianhao, who had the same name as him. This is a mysterious force that belongs to an era, evolution and development are a pair of contradictory twins, but also carry a powerful force to promote and advance together.

I can't refuse.

I can only be strong in the struggle.

I will live happily and with dignity.

The wooden tablets represent those who have died, they are the real heroes.

And I will become the hero of this era.

The Celestial Maniac has a rather narrow understanding of the word "hero": "They killed a lot of people? Cut off a lot of heads? Make countless bone bowls? ”

Tianhao had no intention of correcting his way of thinking: "Many people live because of them, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions...... They were once the foundation upon which a nation and a nation could be strong, as tenacious as the hardest stones. ”

Tianmad nodded ignorantly, his gaze at the wooden tablet was full of respect, and there was an indescribable fanaticism.

"Third child, how do you know these things?" This is a question that must be explained.

"The gods told me."

Tianhao closed his eyes, held back the last tears tightly, took a deep breath, and smiled with a thick nasal tone.

His answer was flawless: "Don't forget, I'm a sorcerer." ”

……

After Tianfeng became the leader, Zhangpu Village changed a lot.

Tianhao dispatched 2,000 people and followed Tianfeng to come here, plus the original villagers, the total number exceeded 3,000.

According to the plan made in advance, Tianfeng was not busy transforming the village defense system. Except for a small number of people who went up to the mountain to quarry, most of the laborers in the village began spring ploughing, and the reclamation area reached an unprecedented number in the history of Zhangpu Village, including all the fertile land in the nearby water source area.

There is water, there is land, there is no shortage of ore and peat, and it only takes effort to mine the stone. The only downside is that there are high mountains between you and the sea, which you have to take a long detour to get to.

In Tianfeng's opinion, this problem is not difficult to solve, and the method also comes from Tianhao: as long as this mountain is dug up, there is a road ahead.

Legend has it that someone once did this, and his name was Yu Gong.

Jokes are jokes, but in fact, the method contains scientific principles.

Tianhao has explored the surrounding area for a long time, and according to the survey results, the mountain to the east of Zhangpu Village is stony, and the surface of the loose soil layer is very thin. Tianfeng led people to dig peat from a nearby mine, pile it up at a predetermined location and set it on fire, while cutting down trees, hollowing out the core of the tree, and cutting it in half to form a hollow half pipe. Dozens or hundreds of such big trees are connected together, fixed with large iron nails, one end is connected to the water source located at a high place, and the other end passes through the air from the periphery of Zhangpu Village, erected directly above the stone mountain, and the water source part is filled with sandbags in advance, and the peat burns the mountain stone red, and the temperature is reached, and the information is transmitted by shaking the flag at a long distance, and the temporary sluice gate is released, and a large amount of cold water rolls down, the cold shrinkage and heat rise, and the large pieces of hard mountain rock are broken one after another.

If there were explosives, there would be no need for such trouble.

The problem is that Tianhao has never found sulfur.

There are a lot of problems to deal with at the moment, and he decided to go back to the old lady after a while, maybe there will be new gains.

Tianfeng may not be a leader with the ability to innovate, but he has a steady temperament and understands priorities. Only two guard towers were built in Zhangpu Village during this time, and large-scale construction of houses had to wait until the beginning of summer. In any case, spring ploughing cannot be delayed, and having food and a guarantee of life is the basis for reproducing the population and strengthening everything.

……

The territory of the deer tribe, the village of the left.

Fu doesn't like summer at all.

The hot weather made him feel irritable, as long as it was because of the drought. It's not that there isn't rain, it's just that there is too little rain: a small half-day drizzle, a casual shower like a naughty child, like a dripping raindrop for a constipated patient...... In a word, the rain that really falls to the ground to have an effect on the crops is insufficient, they can't drink enough, and the high green stalks have become lying down, just like cartilage patients who have insufficient calcium intake and can't stand up.

Food has not been enough to eat, and Fu has nothing to do about it. Spring plowing and autumn harvest is the experience passed down by our ancestors, and it has been like this for many years. There is a fixed number of how much grain is harvested in a field, and there are more than three or five buckets when the year is good, and less when the year is poor, unless it is a year of catastrophe that God really does not give face, otherwise the difference will not be too big.

Growing food has never been the strong point of the deer clan. Although Fu is the leader of a village, he has a lot of experience in planting cotton. This is not difficult to understand, for many years, the deer tribe has been exchanging cotton cloth with other tribes for food, especially the lion tribe in the south, which has always been a big customer of this trade.

This year's situation is different from previous years, as long as it's because of Rock City.

Fu is very envious of Tianhao, from a small village leader of a few hundred people to a city lord who rules tens of thousands of people, this kind of good thing can not fall on his head casually. Zuo Suozhai has a lot of contact with Rock City, and Fu is well aware of the process of this young man's rise, including most of the details.

Fu felt that the key was that there was food in Rock City.

What's more important is that people have a king who is considerate and caring for his subordinates.

Niu Weibang is definitely a tribal king worthy of praise, and I heard that he exempted Rock City from grain tax for five years in one go. This alone makes Fu envious.

This means that Rock City can be open to accept the population without worries.

Of course, this kind of high reward is not given in vain, but Tianhao himself obtains it through war.

But herein lies the problem...... Fu thought about it carefully, even if he made the same military exploits as Tianhao, it would be impossible for the Great King Lu Qingyuan to give this kind of reward. Of course, the surname will definitely be given, as for the rest, I'm afraid it's just a few hundred kilograms of grain, plus some cloth, or women.

People can't be compared!

There are even more troublesome things for Fu.

Rock City is working hard to build roads.

If they were just building roads inside the Niu Clan's territory, Fu wouldn't bother to care. But the problem is that Tianhao has obviously become interested in the Deer Clan, and the road construction direction of Rock City extends in all directions, and one of them points to his Zuo Zhai.

Last winter, Fu got the news, and he quietly sneaked into the territory of the Ox Clan with his scouts, and watched from afar those guys who were frantically sweating and exerting their strength.

A new roadbed stretches from the city in the distance, surrounded by a dense crowd of ants working like ants.

The hogs were born to do this kind of work, heavy iron pickaxes were weightless to them, large rocks could be moved with two arms, and the smell of burnt air was said to come from a substance called "asphalt", which was inedible, but sticky, sticky to gravel and sand, and became hard when cold.

Fu watched from a distance.

When it was time to eat, several carts came in the distance, some of them were dragged with leather ropes in front of them, and some were pulled by animals. They unloaded the large pot of broth from the car, passed the thick cakes from the cook's hands, lit a few fires on the ground, and if the soup was cold, they put it on the fire and boiled again...... In a word, they are not short of food, which is the basis for ensuring the progress of the road construction project.

A deep fear has been rooted in the blessed heart since then.

He knew very well that this road was towards Zuo Suozhai.

What does Tianhao want to do?

Road construction stopped for a few months in the spring, but now, just in the summer, they are starting again.

The restless Fu sent people to deliver the news to Stag City one after another, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response.

Fu really couldn't help it, he felt that he had to go to Stag City to meet the king in person, and explain the stakes.

It's just that he still has a trace of fantasy in his heart.

Fu decided to go to Rock City in the name of trading to find out the situation and listen to what Tianhao had to say, and then decide on his next move.

……

The reception hall in Rock City is much more spacious than before, still so clean and more spacious.

Tianhao didn't let Fuduo wait, he was still as enthusiastic as before, and his face was full of a kind smile. Take the initiative to shake hands when you meet, and through the knuckles and skin, you can feel calm and powerful, which makes people feel at ease.

"Brother Fu, you should send someone over in advance to say, and I can also let the people below prepare for it. Hehe, it's not an outsider, don't be so restrained, sit ...... Let's sit down and talk. Tian Hao put his arm around Fu's shoulders and kept sending him to the chair.

This affectionate action calmed Fu in his heart a lot. He subconsciously smiled and said, "Ah Hao, congratulations, you are now the city lord." ”

"Hey, why do you say such things?" Tianhao waved his hand disappreciatively: "Although there are many people in charge now, the things that need to be worried about are even more diverse, and the trouble is also big!" ”

"That's ...... Is that...... Hehe......" Fu Su smiled: "I came this time to discuss business with you." ”

"What business?" Tianhao smiled casually and asked, "Or do you exchange cloth for food?" ”

"yes!" Fu nodded, and asked tentatively, "Can you still give more fish and meat as before?" ”

Tianhao smiled: "No problem. It's just that in terms of price...... I don't know what Brother Fu thinks? ”

"According to the old rules, of course." Fu didn't think much about it and blurted out.

Tianhao smiled weirdly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in the depths of his eyes: "This can't be. ”

"Why?" Fu jumped up from the chair like a cat with its tail trampled on, and shouted angrily, "Ah Hao, I will exchange cotton cloth with you for food. You hear clearly, it's cotton, not linen. ”

Tianhao didn't bother to explain, and the smile on his face became formulaic: "That's it, for the sake of the love you brought Lu Qingxi to me last time, I can give you a pretty good price, according to two-thirds of the price we agreed before!" ”

"What did you say?" Fu thought that there must be something wrong with his ears.

"I don't lack cloth now, especially cotton." Tianhao replied politely: "I can tell you a little secret: from this year, the price of cotton cloth will drop significantly." Of course, I don't know exactly what the situation of the other tribes is, but the Niu tribe, especially Rock City, if you want to exchange food from me, it can only be at this price. ”

"It can't be!" Fu was in turmoil, he controlled his anger, and tried to keep his voice calm: "Zuo Suozhai planted cotton for a whole year last year, and we worked hard to spin and weave cloth just to be full. Now you are going to take our cotton department away with a casual word, where is there such a good thing? ”

Tianhao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and he didn't hide his mockery: "You still haven't figured it out, now it's not me begging you to exchange grain for cloth, but you took the initiative to come to me to do this business." I have pricing power, I have the final say. ”

Fu's face was distorted with anger, and he shouted loudly in desperation: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" No...... I would never agree with it! ”
