A few days later, with hope and confidence in the future, Niu Weibang left the rock village with his army and returned to Thunderhorn City.

……

The shocking news spread like the wind through all the surrounding villages.

"Have you heard, Panshi Village has won a big battle and captured a large number of Pig people from the Steel Tooth Department."

"Tut-tut, it's really amazing, now there are more than 10,000 people in Panshizhai, I heard that the king also went to a special trip some time ago, saying that he wanted to give the surname of the leader of Panshizhai, and he would also reward him with many beautiful women."

"Look at what you said, why are you still talking about Rock Village, hurry up and change it, it will have to be called Rock City in the future."

Every day, the leaders of each village come to congratulate them. Some came alone, others together.

Guangsheng and Jianping came first, and as allies of Panshizhai, they were very happy to have such a strong and hard backer.

Yifeng of Qingyuan Village also came. Although he is a little reluctant, this is the trend of the times, and he can't help it. After all, everyone around him went to congratulate, but he was the only one who hid in the dilapidated village and sulked, and if he was caught making a big fuss about it in the future, it would be too late to regret it.

Guangshou brought his subordinates to congratulate him and sent a lot of gifts. In fact, he is very jealous, and at the same time has an element of envy. Shanyuan Village is a large village with a population of more than 5,000, and this capital makes Guangshou have a strong sense of pride and pride when facing other village leaders. But when he heard that Tianhao led his army to break through a number of pig fortresses one after another and brought back a large number of prisoners, Guangshou suddenly had a huge gap in his heart. He was afraid that the news was wrong, so he immediately sent someone to Panshizhai to inquire about the actual situation with a large amount of ore as agreed under the pretext of trading, but the news he brought back shocked him more and more: the king is currently leading the army to temporarily stationed in Panshizhai, and has issued an order to give Tianhao the surname, and when the new identity document is promulgated, Panshizhai can be upgraded to a city.

It's like there's a particularly strong guy in a rooster flock, and of course he's still a chicken at heart. But suddenly one day the rooster turned into a crane, and the long leg alone was enough to make all the roosters look up. That kind of psychology full of unwillingness and disappointment has become a shadow over all the lost.

But no matter what, he's my kindred after all. It is reasonable to come to the door to congratulate.

What's more, Tianhao also has a son.

Compared with before, Panshizhai has changed even more.

Many tall and sturdy new buildings have appeared on the periphery of the stockade. It was an area dedicated to the pig people, the road was more than twice as wide, the masonry construction method was fast, and more importantly, it was strong enough to be used as a fortress in times of war.

The city is already taking shape, and the fortified area has expanded by a third since the beginning of the year. The winter is cold and the progress of the project is relatively slow, and by next spring, the Rock City will appear in front of the world in a stunning new appearance.

In the spacious new hall, Tianhao hosted a banquet to entertain all the village leaders who came to congratulate.

There are many types of food, and the preparation methods are more elaborate. This has become one of the specific indicators for Panshizhai people to measure a happy life.

As usual, Ah Ju took the women to be in charge of entertaining. The biggest difference is that half of these hostesses are from the pig tribe. Their average height exceeds that of the Niu men, and their waists are round, which is also in line with the aesthetic view of northern satisfaction, but the fangs that bulge from the inside of the lips look a little scary, but they have all shaved their body hair, and they insist on washing their faces with plant ash mixed with water every day, and their white skin has added a lot of color, and it looks really exciting.

The biggest characteristic is that it is strong and has strong muscles. In particular, the breasts do not have the characteristics of women in the civilized era, only the shape of a square that is as high and inflated as a block.

Guangsheng had a very good relationship with Tianhao, he drank a few more glasses, smiled and grabbed the wrist of the pig woman who was pouring wine for him, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her fiercely on that round, chubby, and greasy face.

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.

The pig hostess had a nice smile, and she deliberately sharpened the tips of her fangs to smoothness.

With this vivid example, others followed suit and became intimate with the hostesses around them.

It's just cuddling, hugging, touching hands and pinching faces, and other actions that take advantage of a little cheapness. After all, this is a banquet hall, and if they really want to do something too big, it is estimated that Tianhao will not be able to spare them first.

Of course, he will not care about the private affairs of both parties. Anyway, it's winter, if you can really endure the cold, don't be afraid of your roots being frozen into ice, there are haystacks, groves, and dark corners outside the hall......

Taking advantage of the wine, Guangshou moved his position towards Tianhao, and asked tentatively: "Ah Hao, our relationship is good!" ”

Tianhao smiled and glanced at him: "Of course, we are brothers. ”

"Then you can take me with you in the future." Guangshou's voice was very low, but he kept complaining: "You said that you fought with the steel tooth department for such a big thing, and you didn't even say a word." You'll have to send someone to tell me anyway! Brother, you make it clear that you don't believe me. That bastard with iron teeth dared to beat your idea, if I had known it, Lao Tzu sent someone to kill him, and I can't let Ah Hao bear it alone! ”

Tianhao's smile was very gentle, and he nodded again and again: "Brother Guangshou is right, this matter is indeed my inconsiderate consideration. The next time I want to send troops to fight other tribes, I'm sure I'll be the first to call you. ”

"That's right, this is a brother!" Guangshou was very satisfied: "By the way, I want to talk to you about the ore." That one...... Can I send you some more ore in the future? Of course, the price is still as we agreed last time, but I want to increase production, so ......"

"No problem!" Tianhao agreed: "This is a good thing, I put my words here today, no matter how much ore you send Brother Guangshou, I will accept it according to the order, and how much is counted." ”

"Really?" Mitsushou's face was pleasantly surprised. The fish from Panshizhai are very popular in Shanyuanzhai, and since a few months ago, Tianhao has increased the variety of goods, all of which are seafood: frozen shrimp, crabs, kelp, shellfish...... The price is not high, and the villagers of Shanyuanzhai, who are accustomed to eating thick bread and dried meat all year round, like it very much, but Guangshou is not sure of Tianhao's attitude, and does not dare to increase the number of mining manpower and increase the output without authorization.

What if the excavated ore can't be sold?

"Actually, I can give you two better advice for Brother Guangshou." Tianhao smiled and said in a low voice: "Shanyuan Village is far away from Panshi Village, and it is not easy to go back and forth. Otherwise, let's discuss and discuss, and go out on both sides to repair the road well, and it will be much more convenient to go back and forth in the future. ”

"Build roads?" Guangshou hesitated a little: "This cost is big, right?" ”

"Actually, it's not that big." Tianhao smiled like a fox, he pointed his fingers and said to Guangshou: "The mountain is full of stones, as long as they are dug up and smashed, they are materials." It takes a bit of effort to smash the stones, but this kind of thing basically doesn't require men, as long as the stones are brought back, the women and children can do it in the stockade. It's very simple to build the road, I will send someone to be responsible for the survey, and we will do it together. In the recessed place, put more soil, dig up the higher part, pave the stones, cover the asphalt, send a few people to drag the big stone grinder back and forth a few times, and this road will not come out! ”

He didn't say anything, this is indeed a simple way to build a road.

"Asphalt?" Guangshou heard a new word: "What is asphalt?" ”

"I found something black in the mountains, which softens and heats when roasted on a volcano, and it sticks the stones, and when it dries, it is very hard, and I don't feel like I walk on it." Tianhao explained with a smile: "It's in the warehouse, I'll take you to see it after dinner." ”

Guangshou nodded again and again: "What is another suggestion?" ”

"You can smelt ore into iron, and you can exchange it for more things. If you think about it, it's not easy to come all the way from Shanyuanzhai, and it's not that your people can't smelt iron, anyway, I have to smelt the ore when it is transported over, so it is better for you to help me save this process directly in Shanyuanzhai. As for the price...... Hehe, we are all brothers, easy to discuss. ”

……

The banquet was dispersed, and the night was late.

The hostess sent the chiefs of the stockade back to their rooms.

Guangsheng and Jianping stayed, Tianhao led them into the side room, and Ah Ju brought a pot of steaming tea and respectfully withdrew.

Tianhao smiled and poured them a cup of tea, "When you were eating just now, you kept saying that you had something to talk about, now let's talk about it, what's wrong?" ”

There were no outsiders present, and Guangsheng spoke very directly: "I have discussed with Ah Jian, and I plan to merge our stockade into Rock City. ”

"Merge?" Tianhao subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Jianping, who was sitting diagonally opposite, and found that his face was flushed and his expression was not very natural.

“…… That one...... Ah Sheng talked to me once. There are few people in Pinglin Village and Zhangpu Village, and the distance is also far away, if the last time the Lu people attacked again, we are afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it. Speaking of which, it's all to blame that our stockade is too close to the border, although there is Ah Hao in front of you, but no one can guarantee when an accident will happen. So we discussed that it would be better to move in with everyone and get together to settle down. ”

Jianping's tone of voice was a little slurred at first, but then it became smoother. It can be seen that he is somewhat reluctant in his heart, but after weighing the pros and cons, he has to make the decision to merge.

Tianhao thought for a moment: "Are you worried that the Pig people will retaliate?" ”

Guangsheng and Jianping looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness and bitter smiles in each other's eyes.

"Since Ah Hao, you have said so, I have nothing to hide." Guangsheng hesitated for a few seconds and sighed: "The people of the Pig Clan are not comparable to the people of the Deer Clan, they are very capable of fighting. Ah Hao, you took the initiative to fight the pig people this time, and they will definitely retaliate. I know you have a way to deal with those guys, but we're different...... If the Pig people divide their troops, like the Lu people did last time, avoid the main road, and attack other villages separately from the small road, neither I nor Ah Jian's village can stop it. So...... This time we proposed the merger, and the real reason is not what you think. ”

Jianping rubbed his cheeks with his thick palm, and his mood was a little low: "I also figured it out, Ah Hao, you are not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, you are very interesting, last time you gave up so much military exploits to me and Ah Sheng, so that we got the surname from the king...... I'm content in this life, even if I die now. ”

"Hao, I actually hated you before. Relying on your own strength, you don't take me seriously at all. Your methods of cleaning up Xiongkui are really ruthless, and Lao Feng has not been able to get any benefits from you, and he will fight the deer people with you, and in the end he will get nothing. Now that Qingyuan Village is ruined, Lao Feng came to me last month to ask for help and asked me to give him some food. Ah Hao, you didn't see the miserable at that time, it has only been a few months, and I feel that Lao Feng has aged dozens of years all of a sudden. The house in Qingyuanzhai was burned, and Lao Feng took people to cut down trees nearby all winter. It's really hungry and cold, and the people under him are running one after another. Think about it, when Qingyuan Village had the largest population in the past, there were more than 700 and nearly 800 people, plus the deer people you gave him last time, it added up to almost 1,000 less. But now...... Tonight, Lao Feng quietly gave me a thorough explanation, and the people in Qingyuan Village were almost gone, leaving only more than two hundred old people and children. ”

Jianping picked up the teacup with a rough movement, gulped down the liquid in the cup, he squirmed his lips that were covered with a thick beard, his voice was hoarse, and he sighed more: "I really figured it out this time, the gods have given different abilities to everyone." Some people are born very good...... But I can't, although I'm older than you, but after so many years, let alone the pig people, even the deer people, I can hide and hide, try to avoid dealing with them...... I'm really scared, just like the last time the king sent troops to deal with Mengxiang Village, a big village of thousands of people, if it doesn't happen, it will be gone, if one day Zhangpu Village will become like this...... I...... I ......"

The latter words were not finished, but Tianhao already understood what Jianping wanted to express.

Guangsheng's fingers were deeply inserted into his hair, his fingertips grabbed a few handfuls of scalp heavily, and said seriously: "Ah Hao, we really don't have any other ideas. I am very familiar with Panshi Village, and I have been coming here since Fu Song was alive. It's only been a few years of hard work, and a small village of a few hundred people has become a city, and with me and Ah Jian, no one can do it to this extent. ”

"Yes! Come with us! Jianping nodded beside him in agreement.

Tianhao sat there quietly, a subtle glint flashing in the depths of his eyes. It can be felt that Guangsheng and Jianping are not lying, they are honest and have thought it through, and making such a decision is also in line with the current situation of their village. But when it comes to the real reason for wanting to merge, it is estimated that it is still food.

Panshizhai has achieved a bumper grain harvest this year.

There are many reasons for this: fertilizers, new farming methods, the enthusiasm of people to work in the household, and the field management under the guidance of Tianhao.
