Volume 2: The Wandering World Chapter 121: Re-examination (23) Grading Division

After four showers of arrows, two hundred bronze arrows were exhausted, and he appeared with a bronze spear and engaged in a fierce fight with Yan, and a dozen thorns also broke through the ground, turned into sharp spears, and launched an attack on him.

Yan's ability is high temperature, the whole body bursts out with red light, the body is hot inside and outside, the poison in the abdomen and the surface of the body are evaporated into gas and discharged, and several large trees close to it are ignited by the high temperature and turned into burning torches.

The stones and soil under his feet have a faint tendency to liquefy, and under the blazing heat, not to mention a blood warrior, even if it is a flesh and blood warrior, it is difficult to get close, and only the same ability warrior can barely get close.

If it is about the real combat ability, the fire witch's fire control and the fire leader's fire spitting are not as high as the heat, and the cavalry originally prepared is completely useless, and can only patrol around to block those who want to escape.

Even the wooden body of the Wood Witch showed a tendency to carbonize, and he remembered the instructions of the Wood Witch not to confront Yan head-on, but only held a bronze spear, grappling around him, and cooperating with the thorns to attack.

First the food was poisoned, and then it was injured by poisoned arrows, and the bronze spear of the gate was also infected with poison, although the toxin was quickly discharged by Yan, but because of this, a lot of abilities were wasted, and a lot of qi and blood were lost.

At the beginning, Yan's several ferocious attacks were flexibly avoided, and the few attempts to break through in the back were also blocked by dense wattles, and Yan's ability reserves quickly declined, and he only lasted for most of the hour.

Charging strength to break through again to no avail, and being restrained by more than a dozen thorns, Yan finally lost his combat power, his body turned from red to burnt yellow, his body fell instantly, and he was pierced through his shoulder blades by two thorns, and he took the opportunity to leap down.

The bronze spear plunged into his chest, the spearhead stirred wildly, crushing the internal organs, his limbs continued to struggle, the breath of life dropped rapidly, and he was completely dead, Wu Hezhu suddenly relaxed.

The Fire Tribe warriors outside the valley were killed in a rain of arrows, and the cavalry rushed into the valley with the slave warriors, killing the remaining warriors and killing a few more rebellious clansmen, controlling all the clansmen and slaves.

Just rest outside the valley, and wait until the next day Qingming, Wu led people into the valley, counted the harvest, and the prisoners of war were all squatting at the mouth of the valley, thirty-five people of the fire tribe in their prime, and a hundred salt-mining slaves from other tribes.

The slaves were naked, covered in black mud, men, women, and children, and their appearance was generally unchanged, with some local differences, some of them were hostile to the defeated of the Fire Tribe, and some were exchanged from other tribes.

These slaves were responsible for collecting salt for the Fire Tribe, working from dawn to dark, with only a small amount of food to sustain their lives, and were often easily beaten, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and many scars on their bodies.

However, no matter where they came from or who they had been slaves to, when they came to the hands of the Wood Tribe, they were all slaves of the Wood Tribe, and they were given freedom?

They are all the wealth of the Wood Tribe! Just being a slave of the Wood Tribe, it must be much better than now, as long as they are willing to pay for the Wood Tribe, willing to be obedient, they have the opportunity to become their own people of the tribe.

Those slaves who used to trade from the Fire Tribe are now members of the Wood Tribe, regardless of you and me. The Wood Witch asked the warrior to take them down, wash their bodies, and for a while without clothes, they gave the fire warrior the fur.

When the deal is almost done, they will be mixed with the slaves of the Fire Tribe, and they will be indoctrinated like before, and then they will be divided into teams and households according to the situation, and as for the matter of mining salt mines, there is no hurry for the time being.

Sixty rattan baskets were also placed aside, which was the harvest of the fire tribe for most of the year, each basket could have more than eighty catties, adding up to five thousand catties, it seems that the output of the salt mine is not small, Mu Wu began to inspect the salt mine in the valley.

There are two caves on the side of the valley, the caves are generally like natural formations, there are traces of artificial mining at the edge, the radius of Mo is about 20 zhang, there are more than a dozen springs on the ground, bubbling with turbid brine.

There are many small fire ponds around, and there are clay pots on them, and the crystals of rock salt remain in the pots, and the work of using fire to evaporate water to extract salt is not unfamiliar in the fire tribe, and it also saves the wood witch from teaching anything.

In addition to the two larger caves, there is a small cave next to it, and the dark cave is full of dung, food scraps, and thatch, which seems to be a slave habit, and can only be described as dirty and messy.

The Fire Tribe didn't bother to care about the physical hygiene of the slaves, so what did it matter to them whether they would get sick or not? When they were sick, the warriors all slept in the treehouses outside the valley, and took turns to guard in the valley.

There is also a cave not far away, the space is relatively large, the environment is much better, the cave is cleaned, the ground is covered with thick thatch, and there is a fire pit that illuminates and keeps warm, which is where the fire tribe people live.

Soon a hundred slaves came back from washing and putting on the hides they had taken from the warriors of the Fire Tribe, and the warriors of the Wood tribe separated the old men, children, men, and women, and educated them separately like the tribe.

A month later, the transformation of the salt mine slaves was completed, and instead of busy making salt, they first reformed the environment, cleaned up the two caves, and also carried out a separate household detachment, and elected the head and captain of the household.

And set up a system of rewards and punishments, stipulating the tasks of each household and each team, and leaving behind those slave warriors of the Fire Tribe, who have now become members of the Wood Tribe, only need to wait for the big sacrifice to be officially confirmed.

With them as an example of guarding the salt mines, and also increasing the motivation of the slaves, the Wood Witch and the Monk left with the archers and cavalry, and also took dozens of baskets of rock salt, tied vines on both sides, and hung them on their mounts.

In the salt mine that already belonged to the Wood Tribe, there were one hundred and thirty-five slaves and forty guarded clan warriors, and nearly 8,000 near-rock salt could be mined every year, which was more than enough for the former Fire Tribe.

But for the wood tribe with more warriors, the output of these rock salt is far from enough, the wood tribe has a thousand people, there are 800 slaves, and there are 600 soldiers, and the daily rock salt consumption is nearly 30 catties.

The consumption of population alone is more than 10,000 catties every year, since there is a safe salt mine, there is no need to venture to the seaside, these people are definitely not enough, and more people have to be transferred over to make up 300 people.

Moreover, there is also the consumption of pickled items, as well as the consumption of trade between the tribes, the wood tribe defeated the fire tribe, so it naturally took over the territory of the fire tribe, and the trade with the surrounding tribes should also be carried out as usual.

After the death of the ability warrior, the fire tribe was completely wiped out, the war was temporarily over, and the next work was nothing more than consumption and finishing, and from then on, the area within a radius of five hundred miles was owned by the wood tribe.

First of all, there is the issue of slaves, there are 800 slaves in the wood tribe, and there are two parts, one is the original fire tribe people, there are more than 700 people, and the other is the original fire tribe slaves, there are only no more than 100 people.

Both have been indoctrinated and will not pose a threat for the time being, the former is forced by the situation and has no choice but to compromise, and most people have a low sense of identity, while the latter is at peace with the situation, and after the improvement of life, the sense of identity with the wood tribe is higher.

As the wood tribe grows stronger, more and more enemies will be encountered, the fire tribe is the first, but it will not be the last, there will be those who will be invested in the tribe, there will be new slaves, and the composition of the tribe will become more and more complex.

The slavery system was wartime, and there were many imperfections, so it would be troublesome to divide the tribal personnel and regulations in time while it was still early for the tribe to be divided, and then it would be troublesome to deal with it if it was difficult to return to it in the future.

The authority of the tribe is still the beginning of the twelve, Huozheng, Shuizheng, Nongzheng, Muzheng, Fazheng, Tuzheng, Chuanzheng, Gongzheng, Yizheng, Yizheng, Taozheng, Muzheng, in addition to the twelve, there are also clans.

For the time being, the team has cavalry archers, spearmen, shield soldiers, grenadiers, and axe soldiers, and five hundred-man warbands, each with a captain, the captain and the chief, that is, the upper echelons of the tribe, only below the leader and the witch.

The upper floors could wear silk clothes, drink ale occasionally, do not have any labor, and have separate houses. The original tribal people were the nobles of the tribe, and the nobles could wear dyed cloth clothes and do only a small amount of labor.

It is possible to eat the high-grade foods of the tribe, such as cane sugar, chips, eggs...... Spiced meat can be eaten. Under the nobles, the Wood Witch once again set up commoners, who could only wear plain cloth clothes without color.

You can eat food with salt, eat all kinds of spiritual plants of the tribe, and eat the fruits of the tribe, which requires more labor. The tribal penal code was initially established, and those nobles who made mistakes were demoted to commoners.

Like the slaves of the original fire tribe, slaves who are traded and robbed, and non-hostile defectors, after being reviewed and tested, can also become civilians of the tribe, and slaves of hostile forces who perform well also have the opportunity to become civilians.

Finally, there were the slaves, who were defeated captives, bound with vines, clothed in untanned animal skins, and fed only sixty percent of their feats, eating ordinary bread and wild fruits, and requiring a great deal of daily labor.

Ten slaves are a squad with a small slave leader, ten squads are a brigade with a large slave leader, and ten brigades are a small leader with a small slave leader...... Layer by layer, mutual supervision, the implementation of the joint sitting system.

The slave chief could wear tanned animal skin clothes and trousers, and the slave leader could wear animal skin hats and animal skin boots, and a point system was implemented.

Scoring tasks are implemented in all areas, including planting, building, moving, raising, pioneering, salt mining, etc., you can get points for completing the task, and points will be deducted for mistakes, 1,000 points for civilians, 10,000 points for nobles.

The initial 1,000 points for commoners and 10,000 points for nobles, if the score is lower than the basic line, they will also be disqualified, while slaves do not have a basic score, and if they want to become commoners, in addition to the selection of layers, they can only accumulate points.

The manager is the Fazheng of the tribe, and the current Fazheng of the Wood Tribe is the Lord, the only supernatural warrior, who leads the tribe's law enforcement team and is in charge of the tribe's punishment, except for the witch, even the leader can't drive it.

Shortly after the war, the salt-mining slaves in the salt mines, who were given civilian status as the Wood Tribe, were taken to the Fire Tribe branch. In addition to the thirty-five of the salt mines, two hundred and sixty-five men were transferred, enough for three hundred slaves.

There were 1,000 nobles of the wood tribe, including 500 old and weak women and children, 500 warriors, 200 commoners, and 700 slaves.

The headquarters guarded and managed, the old and weak, women and children were all there, and there were 200 soldiers and 100 civilians left behind, responsible for animal husbandry and planting.

The salt mine had 300 slaves, 100 civilians, and 100 warriors, who were responsible for collecting and refining rock salt to supply the tribe's needs and foreign trade.

The Fire Tribe branch had 400 slaves, 200 warriors, and witches and belongings, responsible for foreign trade and the development of the jungle.
