In the end, Liang Jian let Wu Ya go, but collected all their bronze weapons and armor, and watched them leave in person.

The Black Wolf Tribe escaped, surrendered to Liang Jian even more happily, and soon left the Yanhuang Tribe with the tribesmen.

At the same time, more than a hundred slaves in the tribe were kept in exchange for the hundreds of crossbows, Liang Jian pondered for a while, and the deal was not a loss, so he agreed.

Anu and his people continued to build the walls, which were made of clay mixed with stones, and the walls were so strong that they could hold back even the fierce beasts.

Everything was on the right track for the tribe, and there were even stone roads built inside the city walls, and houses were built on both sides, making the roads look orderly and orderly, like a small town.

Liang Jian gradually realized the importance of inquiring about information, and specially sent Yanu to lead twenty warriors on horseback, bringing the tribe's specialties, including animal skins, linen, clay pots, vegetable seeds and other items to visit the major tribes.

There are still many small tribes left in the mountain tribes, and most of them are trembling at this time, but most of them have opened their doors when they see the valuable gifts brought by Yanu.

As a result, the Yanhuang tribe became famous in the mountains, and many tribes came to visit, and Qin Yue took advantage of the situation to propose a marriage exchange with other tribes, which could be exchanged for food or weapons.

In modern society, this is no different from buying and selling people, but Qin Yue couldn't think of a better way to see the tribe being extremely prosperous and yin declining.

In the past ten days, more than 30 unmarried girls have been exchanged with other tribes, but Qin Yue did not force them, but let them live in the tribe with peace of mind, and wait for a favorite warrior to marry them.

More fields have been cultivated outside the tribe, and hundreds of cattle and sheep have been raised in captivity, and now they only go out to hunt once every few days, and the rest of the time is in intensive training.

months later.

Qin Yue gave birth to a big fat boy safely, and Liang Jian was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Holding the monkey-like child and looking at his crepe face, Qin Yue couldn't look good no matter how he looked at it.

The tribe celebrated with a bonfire for three days in a row, with people singing, dancing and laughing.

Yanu's children often came to see his little brother, and from time to time asked Qin Yue when he would grow up to play with him.

During this time, Liang Jian searched the entire mountain forest, and finally found the iron ore not long ago, and there was a large amount of coal under the surface of the mountain behind the Black Rock tribe, which was also transported back to the tribe by Yanu and them.

After failing again and again, the tribe smelted the first piece of iron, a small piece of iron, but it was enough to make everyone happy.

Compared to the bulkiness and fragility of bronze, iron was lighter and sharper, and with such a weapon, it was enough for them to deal with the second attack of the Uya Kingdom.

Liang Jian carved out a large area of land, built seven or eight earthen kilns, and under the high temperature smelting, a large number of iron weapons were baked, and the powerful hornstone took on the heavy responsibility of iron smelting.

In the course of a few months, the tribe changed dramatically, and the city wall was built to a height of more than four meters, and patrolling warriors were stationed above the city wall to protect the tribe impenetrable.

Yan Mu came behind a few times, his eyes opened wider and wider, but he didn't expect the last visit of the Black Wolf Tribe to be the Black Wolf Leader himself.

Liang Jian was also very surprised, especially when he said to him, the black wolf hoped that the black wolf tribe would join the Yanhuang tribe and serve Liang Jian as the leader of the tribe in the future.

Liang Jian did not immediately agree to this.

The integration of the two tribes is not a simple matter, especially when the population of the Black Wolf Tribe is several times larger than that of the Yanhuang Tribe, and the tribes sacrifice different gods, which is easy to cause conflicts and contradictions.

Liang Jian discussed with Qin Yue for one night, and he said regretfully: "The sacrificial god of our Yanhuang tribe is the god of fire, he is our protector, allowing us to survive crises safely. If you want to join the Yanhuang tribe, then you must change the sacrificial god, but if you sacrifice to the powerful wolf god, I'm afraid the tribal witch doctor will not agree to change. ”

The black wolf's expression darkened, he had expected this a long time ago, but he had previously held a glimmer of hope and did not change the sacrificial god. He had no opinion on changing the sacrificial gods, and the black wolf believed in the respect of the strong, rather than pinning his hopes on the gods, but the tribal witch doctor would not agree.

Compared to the power of the tribal leader, the tribal witch doctor seems to be more like a spiritual leader, and if the witch doctor does not agree, then the tribesmen will not willingly join the Yanhuang tribe.

Qin Yue thought for a while and said, "You can ask your witch doctor to come over, I have a way to get her to agree." ”

The black wolf was skeptical, but still asked Yanmu to ride a horse and bring the witch doctor over.

Qin Yue invited the witch doctor of the Black Wolf Tribe into the wooden house, and said straight to the point: "Our tribe is different from your tribe's sacrificial gods, the black wolf wants to lead the clansmen to join our tribe, if the sacrificial gods are different, this will definitely be a hidden danger, and fierce conflicts will break out in the future, which is not conducive to the harmony and stability of the tribe." ”

The witch doctor knew it, to be honest, she didn't approve of joining the Yanhuang tribe, the black wolf tribe lasted for more than a hundred years, and has been worshipping the wolf god, and the tribe has developed steadily and strongly.

There was no need to join the Yanhuang tribe at all, but the black wolf insisted on going his own way, and she reluctantly agreed when she watched the black wolf grow up.

She said: "Our tribe has always sacrificed to the wolf god, and it will not change. ”

Qin Yue nodded, expressing understanding, after all, she was a witch doctor, and sacrificing to the gods was also a symbol of her power, "But I have an idea, maybe you can think about it." If you change the sacrificial god and join the Yanhuang tribe, you can retain your status as a witch doctor, and you will be the witch doctor of our Yanhuang tribe in the future. ”

"Are you serious?" The witch doctor was a little surprised, and looked at her suspiciously, not quite believing what she said, "The witch doctor symbolizes the supremacy of the tribe, and you are willing to give it up?"

Qin Yue smiled and said unconcernedly: "Compared to power, I prefer the tribesmen to live and work in peace and contentment, without having to eat or wear, the identity of the witch doctor is not important to me, and I don't have the ability to communicate with God." ”

She said it very bluntly, she just wanted to make the witch doctor have no trouble.

The two talked for a long time, and when they came out, they were all smiling.

Liang Jian watched them come out, knowing that there was a result, the black wolf witch doctor nodded and promised to follow the Yanhuang tribe to worship the fire god from now on, and since then the two tribes have become one.

The tribe held a grand sacrificial ceremony, Qin Yue watched the witch doctor dance on the altar, and snickered in her heart, wondering if she was holding her scalp as hard as she was at the beginning.

She doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and she never believed in them ever since.

But in the name of ghosts and gods, it is indeed a good way to make the people of the tribe rest and recuperate without distraction.

As the population of the tribe swelled to more than 1,000, the land enclosed by the city wall was somewhat insufficient.

Liang Jian carved out a larger area and led the tribe to build walled houses, and with iron tools, everything became simpler.

Before the arrival of autumn, the city of the entire Yanhuang tribe has grown several times, the ground is paved with flat bluestones, the houses are neatly located side by side, all kinds of vegetables and fruits are transplanted in front of the houses, and the tribesmen are wearing sackcloth.

There were several blacksmithing shops in the city, and the strongest warriors in the tribe were in charge of casting ironware, Qin Yue watched with a smile as the first iron pot was cast, and after it cooled, she looked at it like a baby.

After stepping down as a witch doctor, she focused more on teaching words, and even set up a school where the entire tribe of children around the age of ten could become literate.
