Chapter 87: Black Stone
As Wang Chong's words fell, many deserted slaves shed tears of excitement.
In the past, they were all terrified, once they did something badly, they would be insulted at best, beaten by their masters, or beaten to death, and no one would say anything.
But now it is different, in the future they are no longer lowly slaves, they can own their own property.
The tribe now has a law enforcement team, and even if a warrior wants to beat them, they can't be beaten casually.
For the first time, they felt a sense of belonging in the Stone Tribe.
They no longer want to be slaves, they want to protect the Stone Tribe, because only in the Stone Tribe, they are normal people.
Protect the Stone Tribe!
This is what every slave thinks in his mind.
This news has no impact on the class of attendants, but many attendants also welcome this law.
Because the warriors can't beat them casually, but after the king spoke again, some of the warriors were a little dissatisfied.
After all, the deserted slaves originally belonged to them, and it didn't matter if they were beaten or scolded, but now all of a sudden the deserted slaves were protected by the so-called law, and no one was happy.
However, no one dares to question Wang Chong's decision.
Didn't you see that even the sons of the five claws are also obedient to Wang Chong, especially the big bull, for fear that Wang Chong will liquidate him, he has already proposed it himself and gave Wang Chong the position of leader.
And Wang Chong didn't say anything, and let him die.
Wang Chong's majesty is too heavy now, and under his management, the power of the warriors under him has been greatly weakened, and Wang Chong's most people are squires and desolate slaves.
They have also seen those people fighting, and they are no less than them, so everyone is just dissatisfied in their hearts, and no one dares to show it.
"Now I go ahead and declare that the property of all the people in the tribe is protected, thieves, as coolies for three years, robbers, as coolies for ten years......"
"Those who gather a crowd to fight, those who take the initiative to do it will be coolies for one year, those who molested women from good families will be coolies for three years, and those who are silver wives and daughters will be coolies for ten years......"
Because the population is not large, the laws promulgated by Wang Chong are not these articles for the time being.
The main thing is also to reduce the contradictions in the tribe, after all, the population is increasing, and if there are no rules, it is easy to cause riots.
And with these laws, not only can the two classes of squires and slaves have a stronger sense of belonging, but secondly, the hearts of the people are also united, there are no contradictions in the tribe, and they can develop better.
At the same time, Wang Zhong gathered the skilled people of the tribe.
These people were stonemasons, carpenters, architects.
There were hundreds of these people in total, and in order to make the houses of that tribe build faster, he asked these people to take more than five apprentices and start building houses vigorously.
In terms of hygiene, Wang Chong also arranged that every household must have a toilet, and no open defecation is allowed in the future, so as to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic because the environment is too dirty.
With so many people living here, water is naturally a big problem.
But it doesn't matter.
After the jungle was engulfed in fire, many wild beasts fled, and now the river that runs through the jungle is the tribe's place of water.
In order to facilitate irrigation, Wang Zhong also ordered people to dig pools around the tribe to store water.
…………
The whole tribe is now under vigorous construction, and on this day, Wang Zhong took the mute girl and a group of people to the stone field, ready to pick out some weapons.
Because it had just been the New Year, the weather was still very cold, and when it passed, Wang Chong was stunned.
He found that a group of people from the Wild Grass tribe were building around a fire.
The fire was not made of wood, but of black stone.
"It's coal!"
Wang Chong hurriedly ran over: "Where did this thing come from?" ”
Several people hurriedly got up, and an older one said: "This is a black stone, originally on the mountain of the Wild Grass Tribe, after a fire, we found that this black stone was still burning, much longer than the wood burning, so we found a little to come over and use it for fire." ”
"Yes, yes, take me to see it." Wang Chong was excited.
The existence of coal in this world means that there is a high probability of iron ore, so that he can rely on these two things to make iron.
Once he has iron and equips his tribe, his army of iron horsemen can sweep the entire wilderness.
On the same day, Wang Zhong led his men and horses to the former barren grass tribe.
Today, the people here have been relocated, and all that remains is a pile of rubble.
The mountain with the coal mine that the barren slave said was behind the barren grass tribe.
This tribe is built on the mountain, and the terrain is not bad.
There are not many trees on the mountain, and if you take a few steps, you can turn out large lumps of coal under the soil.
Looking at these coals, Wang Zhong had an idea.
After returning home, Wang Zhong found five carpenters and began to design a trolley, so that it would be much easier to pull things in the future.
Of course, he didn't know how to do it himself, so he only designed the drawings and let a few carpenters slowly figure it out.
At the same time, he also ordered people to round up the elephants and bison in the wasteland.
He was going to domesticate these animals and use them for future transportation.
The tribe is developing in an orderly manner.
…………
In the blink of an eye, Wang Chong was already twenty-two years old.
Over the years, he also had two big fat sons with mute girls, and the population of the entire tribe increased by one-third.
In terms of fields, because the slaves and attendants had their own property, and Wang Zhong only required them to hand over a part of the output every year, so they were very motivated, and everyone worked extremely hard and opened up the land by themselves, so there was already a lot of land.
Over the years, Wang Zhong sent his men in all directions, and asked them to draw maps of the direction they went, and finally handed them all over to him.
Today, in the wooden house where Wang Chong lives, a large map has been drawn on the wall.
And now, Wang Chongcai has finally figured out the geographical location of the entire Great Wilderness.
To the south are boundless forests, to the north are endless mountains, and to the east and west, large and small tribes.
Because everyone in this world travels long distances, Wang Chong doesn't know what the situation on the other side is after solving these large and small tribes.
"Iron, I need iron, I need horses!"
Wang Zhong looked at the map and frowned.
"Wood, wood!"
At this time, the mute girl came in from outside with two attendants, with a look of joy on her face.
"Dumb girl, what's wrong?" The king turned his head again.
Usually a mute girl wouldn't be so excited about doing things, unless she was really happy about it.
As they entered the house, a thin monkey walked in the back, not very old, looking like a dusty man, who looked like he had been living outside for a long time.
Wang Chong naturally knew who this person was.
This is the person he arranged to go out to draw a map, and generally speaking, this kind of person wants them to go out for a month, during which time they have to not only draw a map, but also look for something he needs.
For example, horses, iron ore.
Naturally, these people don't know these things, but it doesn't matter, before leaving, Wang Chong not only described the characteristics of these things to them, but also drew them.
This person, Wang Chong, remembered that his name was Thin Monkey, he had no strength, he was very thin, and he was bullied by many people in the Big Fish tribe before.
However, he has a specialty, that is, he can run fast, so Wang Zhong found him as a pathfinder.
When each pathfinder returns, he sees him to report what he has seen and heard during the month, and he rewards him with great discoveries.
"Thin monkey, seeing that you are so excited, did you find something on this trip?" Wang Zhong looked at him majestically and said.
