Chapter 169: I'm going to have fun
In the tribe of the sheep people, the dwarves still work quite hard.
Whether it's mining ore and rock salt, or going to smelting and tempering, or weaving, or even helping with animal husbandry......
These dwarves are quite conscientious.
Guo Sen found that the sheep people were actually not bad for the dwarves.
They did not use whips or weapons to brutally intimidate or whip the dwarves to urge them to work, but simply stood by and watched.
This is completely different from the way primitive people treated dwarves.
Guo Sen noticed that after the dwarven slaves were finished, the sheep people also provided them with water, food, and rock salt, all of which were not left behind.
Weird.
Aren't these dwarves slaves?
Despite the yellow muscles and tired face, it seems that the body has been hollowed out.
But it doesn't seem like this life is bad.
The women of the dwarves do not take away to satisfy strange needs, but do all kinds of work like the male dwarves.
The dwarves also had no shortage of children, and they seemed to be doing better—the goats had carved out a residential area for the dwarven children in a cave covered with glowing moss, where they could even laugh and even play with the goatmen's children.
This is something Guo Sen never expected.
Could it be that the relationship between dwarves and goats is not the relationship between enslavement and servitude?
But...... The relationship between the ruler and the commoners?
Or is it more of a collaboration?
Guo Sen couldn't understand it.
Aside from the hard work, the dwarves don't seem to be doing badly.
Guo Sen thought about it again and again, and suddenly understood.
It's a bit like a boss hiring an employee.
The sheep people, as "bosses", "employ" the dwarves as their coolies, helping them to do this and that......
In this way, it is fully understandable why there are so many irrationalities.
However, when the dwarves were "hired", they were not allowed any freedom, which was not quite in line with the employment relationship.
But this kind of relationship that is detached from slave civilization still makes Guo Sen's eyes shine.
From the beginning of the rock salt, animal husbandry and cave tribes, to the current primitive employment relationship with the dwarves.
This sheep race can really surprise Guo Sen from the beginning.
How long can the relationship last, though?
Will the dwarves gradually become dissatisfied and then upset the current balance?
Guo Sen can't say,
After all, the sheep don't speak, and they can't understand what the dwarves are saying.
Expressionless, they no longer participate in all kinds of labor, and enjoy the fruits of the dwarves' labor.
It seems that the only thing they can do is to multiply and grow their race.
The population has gone up, and the dwarves have continuously provided a steady stream of powerful productive forces, what will the civilization of the sheep people who can only "babble" become?
Guo Sen looked at the sheep people's pasture.
Near the edge of the grassland, Guo Sen saw an extremely wide pasture surrounded by low wooden piles.
Countless of the little animals that I had seen before were bouncing around in the grass, and from time to time those little heads poked out of the grass and looked up at the sky.
And next to them, there was a dwarf working almost a few dozen meters away, either holding dry branches to make nests for these small animals, or picking the fatter ones among these small animals and slaughtering them.
There are also dwarves who are responsible for cutting the slaughtered ones into pieces with iron knives and smearing them with rock salt and pickling them.
A few sheep men with iron knives turned their heads from time to time, carefully watching, and the non-stop labor of the smiling dwarves of nearly 100 people under their noses was the source of food for all the people in the tribe.
Guo Sen looked at it, according to the current efficiency of this ranch, the daily output should be enough to supply nearly a thousand people, there is no problem at all, but this is still far from enough.
He opened the lock again, looking for the dwarves.
As a result, he suddenly found that he didn't seem to have seen it all before.
There seem to be more than a dozen ranches like the current one, but they are not contiguous patches.
These vast pastures ensure the supply of food.
Even if they don't gather food such as tree fruits and roots, the sheep people can rely on the dried meat produced by the small animals to ensure a basic food supply.
However, this single food source is somewhat fragile.
In the event of a plague that swept through those small animals, the tribe established by these sheep people would probably be quickly defeated.
When the time comes, they will have to abandon the land and go farther into the forests in search of new prey.
It's hard to go from zero to one.
Guo Sen remembered the fruit and vegetable slimy tribe, if the experience of those guys could be brought here, and the farming and animal husbandry industries were developed at the same time, then the productivity would be further improved.
How, though?
Guide these people to farm?
Guo Sen knew that this was not realistic, after all, even he didn't know what plants were suitable for vegetables and what fruits were suitable for fruits.
There are also no potatoes, celery, watermelons, oranges.
If you want to be Shennong and taste a hundred herbs, Guo Senke is not happy.
As a planetary will, he didn't want to let this valuable experience that he had to try to know be his own.
Just like the primitive man who pulled a plant out of the mire and found it a terrifying insect that could suck flesh and blood, this kind of thing had to pay for them in order to know what to do.
The matter was put on hold for now.
Guo Sen looked at the sheep tribe smelter by the river a little further away from the tribe again.
Or rather, a smelter made by the dwarves.
Blast furnaces, anvils, hammering tables, all available.
The ore is transported here and then thrown into a blast furnace made of clay, where it gradually decomposes into a liquid state under the action of extremely high temperatures.
Then, they are taken out, hammered, and impurities removed, and then they are shaped into various shapes.
All the processes are done by the dwarves themselves.
Guo Sen found that even without the sheep people who had been watching over them, the dwarves seemed to be enjoying it......
Shake you.
Guo Sen couldn't help but complain.
Feelings, this has become a slave, and I still maintain my passion for smelting.
Cattle batches.
Guo Sen had to obey.
It stands to reason that being treated as a slave should make you sad, bitter and bitter.
However, whether it was looking at the people who were in charge of harvesting the small animals or the smelters, the expressions on their faces were very pleasant, or rather enjoyable.
As if they were the masters of the land.
It's just incomprehensible.
However, Guo Sen was also surprised that these nearly 10,000 dwarves actually fed more than 30,000 sheep and themselves.
And more than ten kilometers away from the location of this huge tribe of more than 40,000 people, a large team of nearly 1,000 people composed of primitives and dwarves seemed to be aiming directly and coming straight in the direction of this side!
