The transformation of the prisoners of war was basically completed, the new slaves gradually got used to it, the birth season came, the ice and snow dissolved, everything recovered, the team of 500 people began to go out hunting, and the slaves were also working and began to pave stone roads.

There is a distance of 1,800 miles from Lingu to the fire branch, and the construction on both sides is starting at the same time.

In mid-February, the troops of the headquarters arrived and sent a large amount of grain and grass, enough for the tribesmen of the valley and the three mines to eat for at least half a year, plus the hunting was replenished from time to time, and in a short time, food was no longer a problem.

There were a thousand people in the procession, five hundred were warriors, five hundred were craftsmen, potters, carpenters, stonemasons, coppersmiths, earthmasons, leathermen, firesmiths...... All walks of life are basically involved, which greatly complements technical talents.

The development of the Houbu has been rudimentary, such as breeding, there are simple methods of domestication, such as pottery, can make simple crude clay pots, such as building, can build rough earthen wall thatched huts, such as ...... All they need to do is bootstrap.

In April, the cavalry team reappeared, and the number of the 2,000 army was plummeted, leaving only 300 cavalry, Lin Lin and Lin Tuo were also there, and Mu Wu received two people at the valley entrance and asked, "How are things going?"

"Fortunately, Wang Bu was not suspicious. Lin Lin took off the bark mask, Lin Tuo bowed, and replied at the same time.

"That's good!" Mu Wu finally smiled with relief, set up a feast, entertained the team, washed the dust for them, and took out a small amount of rice wine reward, and everyone was deeply attracted by this novelty.

"Pack up, rest for half a month, and we went back. Lin Lin was taking a sip of rice wine when she suddenly heard the voice of the wood witch.

"Yes!" Lin Tuo replied immediately, without any objections.

"Okay. Lin Lin hesitated a little, but also responded, she naturally knew where to go back.

The matter of returning was ready, and at the end of May, the journey began, escorted by five hundred soldiers, the valley was temporarily handed over to Yu, the earth and stone stayed to help, and Mu Wu took Tuo and Lin to embark on the journey in the three wolf chariots.

I didn't bring much supplies, and I had all the headquarters in Lingu, except for the grain and grass on the road, I only brought what the tribe didn't have: cherished minerals with abundant spiritual energy, fresh plants that are extremely useful, and a history of inheritance accumulated from generation to generation......

There are even a small number of spirit fruits: one papaya, one dragon fruit, two walnuts, three plums, and five peonies, which are sealed in delicate wooden boxes, and the spirit fruits are extraordinary and can remain fresh for ten years.

The mountain tribes all have their own treasure land, how can there be no treasure in the forest department? After generations of exploration and reclamation, the spiritual plants in the territory directly under the territory have basically been found and recorded in the map of Wu.

There is no way to transplant it, so it is left in the same place, checked and counted every ten years, and if there is maturity or close to maturity, it can be picked back and distributed to the clansmen, so as to enhance the strength of the tribe and continue the inheritance.

Originally, after the great sacrifice of the Hou Ministry, Lin Hou brought people back, preparing to wait until the end of the royal sacrifice and then divide it, who knew that there was such a change, and all the hard work fell into the hands of Mu Wu.

Papaya and dragon fruit should be single fruits, which can help the awakening of warriors with strong blood, walnuts and plums are multi-fruit, which can help the awakening of warriors with perfect foundations, and peony flowers seem to be clumps, which can replenish blood and energy.

However, with the spirit fruit alone, it will not work without a suitable warrior, the talents accumulated by the wood tribe for many years have basically awakened successfully, and the remaining extreme flesh and blood warriors can meet the requirements.

There are more than a dozen of them with abundant qi and blood, and those with a perfect foundation are gone, even if they are full of qi and blood, they are full of dark wounds, and it is very difficult to awaken, and it costs several times the resources of ordinary people, and there is no guarantee of success.

Just like the tribe's white pear, which is still on the list, using sky-high prices to stimulate the vitality of the clansmen, with the supplement of the spirit fruit of the forest Hou Department, Mu Wu considered that it was time to relax the price and let the warriors see some hope.

Therefore, the spirit fruit is not his favorite, what makes him laugh the most is the "book" of the Lin Hou Department, dozens of bark books with hundreds of pages, each one is a foot thick and two feet wide, which is his favorite thing.

His greatest pleasure was to savor the history of the tribes, to watch the development of the tribes, and to be fascinated by the colorful graphics and words carved with stone pens on the tough and sturdy bark.

The cultural development of the Houbu is higher, and in the "history", the proportion of words has increased, the proportion of pictures has decreased, and the original text that zigzags and zigzags, to say the least in the number of four or five hundred, have their own personalities and characteristics.

Compared with the 100,000 characters of the Mu tribe, it is much inferior, but in the primitive tribe, it is already a great thing, Mu Wu does not know these words, but Lin Lin and Lin Tuo next to him are all scholars in the tribe.

If you don't understand, you can ask the two, Lin Lin may not be credible, but Lin Tuo can be completely relieved, it was Lin Hou and Wang Bu's affairs in the past, Mu Wu didn't have time to read it, and now that the matter is over, he finally has time to relax.

In the exact written records, the forest and the Houbu have a history of 4,000 years, and the first 500 years were basically cave dwellings, suffering from the threat of wild beasts, hunger, and disease, and struggling to survive, and there was nothing new about it.

It was not until five hundred years old, when I accidentally learned and became familiar with the use of fire, that it began to develop, using fire to keep warm, using fire to drive away wild beasts, using fire to make cooked food, and then it was slow development, and there was no new way to live.

In a thousand years, there was a new twist, they discovered the salt soil, the salty soil rubbed on the meat, the meat will become more delicious, eat it will become stronger, and then from the later life, gradually learn to refine.

It can be seen that the importance of fire and salt, with salt, you have enough energy and physical strength to move, exercise, and grow, instead of sleeping in a hole all day long, and have more time to study new things.

Led by fire and salt, the Lin tribe grew rapidly, and it took only a few hundred years for them to become a large tribe around them, during which they found flint, which was found to be sharper than rock, and became a new weapon.

Relying on sharp flint weapons, the harvest of hunting increased greatly, and there was a surplus of food, even if it was salted, it was stored too much to eat, so the common people were liberated and only the warriors were allowed to participate in the hunt.

When the tribesmen had enough to eat and had nothing to do, they began to ponder pottery, which could cook delicious broth, improve the food of the tribe, and figure out buildings that could accommodate more people and relieve the crowded caves.

I figured out the clothes, which could keep warm, defend, enhance the survival rate of the clansmen, and slowly learned to tann;

At some point, there was a crisis in the tribe because there were too many babies and the tribe did not produce enough milk, so the leaders of the time thought of a way to have the warriors catch live animals and feed the babies with animal milk.

But they didn't know how to raise it, and within a few days they starved to death, and one day, a warrior brought back a doe, and the doe was so hungry that she ate the wild vegetables of the gathering team and lived for a long time.

Later, even gave birth to a few fawns, the leader looked at its leftover leaves, as if to understand something, from then on, the tribe began to try to raise, see any animal, want to take back to raise, also made a lot of jokes.

After a long period of harvest and lessons, the forest tribe gradually summed up the experience: adult beasts cannot be raised, disobedient, and want to attack people; meat-eating beasts cannot be raised, they will hurt people, and will eat animals; and grass-eating cubs are the best.

Fifteen hundred years later, the tribe became very strong, and gradually came into contact with other tribes, and for various reasons, wars broke out, sometimes victorious, sometimes defeated, and developed rapidly in the flames of war.

Leather armor and rattan armor were developed, which could improve the defense of warriors, various weapons were developed, which could enhance the combat effectiveness of warriors, and bronze tools were developed, which were easier to carry, stronger and more practical than pottery.

Breeding beasts were also put into battle, and various cavalry appeared one after another, and then quickly disappeared, leaving only the deer cavalry, which became the main force of the tribe, and in the dense jungle, the nimble bighorn deer, was more combative.

In the end, with the help of the deer cavalry, the tribe completely defeated other opponents for two thousand years, destroyed the ministers, occupied the most mineral-rich middle, became the master of the jungle, and officially became the forest department.

Then, it was the war and interaction with other Hou Ministry, and the Ze Hou Ministry, the Sea Hou Ministry, and the Mountain Hou Ministry, three thousand years ago, due to the gap in equipment and strength, was completely defeated by the War King Ministry.

From then on, the Lin Hou Department surrendered to the War King Department, and it was at that time that the pattern of the Three Kings Department was finally formed, and the Lin Hou Department still fought with the Sea Hou Department, but no longer fought with the Ze Hou Department and the Mountain Hou Department, and it was until now.

Throughout the audience, it seems to be a history of hard work and self-improvement, for such brilliance, Mu Wu just smiled, which is half-true and half-false, how many are true, how many are false, who can know?

The human race is always like this, accustomed to exaggerating their own exploits and ignoring the influence of external forces, Lin Hou is like this, the wood tribe is like this, he is also like this, everyone has selfish intentions, and they have the right to take a look at the story.

And from such half-truths and half-truths, he also found a lot of practical problems, the most significant is the population, the population of the forest department, which is recorded in detail every year, and it was 10,000 people in 3,000 years.

But now, with the addition of slaves, there are only 13,000 people, and in a thousand years of development, there are only 3,000 people?

Soon, he discovered the problem, the territory, the territory of three thousand years, is only more than 700 miles in radius, and a lot has been annexed in a thousand years, and it is only 800 miles, and the land is seriously comfortable with the development of the forest department.

Or food, the forest department is not good at farming, and there are no conditions for farming, and the food source of the tribe is hunting, breeding and trade, and there is a stock of grain, but not much, which seriously affects the growth of the population.

The middle of the jungle is rich in minerals, and there are many that have been developed, and many of the remaining have not been mined, but on the other hand, the surrounding soil is also very poor, the vegetation is sparse, and it is either a dense forest or a wasteland, and there are no cultivation conditions.

The degree of use of the soil, the forest tribe is far inferior to the wood tribe, therefore, the territory of 800 li can only withstand so much, any more will be famine, the leaders and witches of the generation have considered, and try their best to suppress the population.

Lin Lin answered Mu Wu's only remaining doubts, he nodded, and didn't think about it anymore, Lin Hou was not enough to eat, but the Mu tribe couldn't eat it all, more than 5,000 acres of fertile land, with a rich yield per mu, and a large amount of surplus every year.

Of the original five warehouses, three have been vacated to store grain, and seeing that they are about to be full, they are considering whether to build a new granary.
