In terms of the headquarters, there is a need for comprehensive control, Mu Wu is very relieved of him, he arranged the task when he left, and he was not busy returning immediately, he only had two orders, one was to pave the stone road of Tonghai Avenue.

The other is to heighten and strengthen the tribal city wall, merge the original inner and outer walls to make a five-zhang high giant wall, and then build an inner wall with a height of four zhang and five zhang and a width inside, and widen the moat.

The two tasks are extremely huge projects, and they cannot be completed overnight, and Mu Wu does not have a set time, just let them watch and do it, and the cause of the two projects is nothing more than the threat of the Forest Waiting Department.

The Fire Tribe has two supernatural warriors, which are already very powerful, but they still have to pay tribute to the Forest Hou Tribe, how strong is the Lin Hou Tribe? Whether they will avenge the Fire Tribe, no one can be sure.

The Mu tribe must think of the back road in advance, and of course the best result is not to go to war, but if the Lin Hou Department wants to start a war, the tribe can also have prepared measures, the high wall is to fight, and the sea road is the way to retreat.

In the Fire Tribe Division, the warriors commanded the slaves to repair the solid defensive wooden wall, one zhang high and three feet wide, barely having some defensive strength, and let them start to build a three-way dirt and stone road leading to the salt mine.

The implementation of the decimal system and the scoring system made the enthusiasm of the slaves unprecedentedly high, and the more difficult the task, the more they were happy, because the higher the score, the stone road was expected to be three zhang wide and more than eighty miles long.

There is no problem with the salt mine for the time being, only let them speed up the mining and strive to store more rock salt, and nearly 30% of the tribe's manpower has been invested here, which is also for the threat of the forest department, and the salt resources are stored in advance.

Soon it was the cold season, the snow closed the mountain, the weather was cold, and the work could no longer be carried out, Mu Wu made a resolution to mention the sacrifice to the cold season, and the top management of the Mu tribe was a little surprised, but did not raise any objections.

There are too few things that can be done in the cold season, and there are too many things to do in the birth season, and it is also convenient to move the sacrifice from the birth season to the cold season, and those who participate in the big sacrifice are not only nobles and commoners, but also slaves who are about to become commoners.

This year's great sacrifice, in addition to sacrifices, prayers, and adulthood, there are also the praise and disapproval of the tribesmen, the rise that should rise, the decline that should fall, the rewards that should be rewarded, and the punishments that should be punished, and the tribe has tribal rules.

There are many adult people, there are twenty-one nobles, and there are a few commoners, but the qi and blood spirit fruit is the prerogative of the nobles, and the commoners want the spirit fruit, in addition to becoming a noble, they can only exchange it with points, two thousand points each.

The population of the tribe is getting more and more, but the qi and blood spirit fruit has not grown, there are still more than twenty a year, there is always a time when it is not enough, the most important thing to become a warrior is to rely on yourself, and the spirit fruit will withdraw from the stage at a time.

After the first spring rain of the birth season, the trade fair of the wood tribe also kicked off, and the large and small tribes within a radius of five hundred miles arrived as usual, but what they saw was not the familiar fire tribe, but the strange warriors.

The tribe who rushed to be inevitably vigilant, but when they saw Yi Zheng, who was guarding the door, he took the initiative to greet him, gave him a small wooden jar of salt, and said enthusiastically: "Welcome to the Wood Tribe Fair, distinguished guests, please allow me to give a gift." ”

Seeing half a catty of salt in their hands, the tribal team that came also smiled, gradually let down their guard, was brought into the tribe by trade, and found a spacious tree house to rest, and it didn't take long for someone to bring water and food.

"What about the people of the Fire Tribe?" Some tribes were still vigilant and refused to take the salt, and asked cautiously, the civilians who had newly joined the Yi Tribe, the original Fire Tribe, smiled and said: "There is no Fire Tribe, there is only the Wood Tribe here." ”

"The Wood Tribe has more salt, more abundant food, more useful utensils, it costs less, much less than the Fire Tribe needs, my friend, the Wood Tribe is close and can let down their guard. ”

The enthusiasm and generosity of the wood tribe have been sought after and favored by all tribes, no one will get along with interests, there is a better wood tribe, what do you do with the nostalgic fire tribe? They come for salt, just have salt.

At the next day's trade fair, Mu Wu and Yu appeared, showing powerful abilities, and once again won the respect and fear of the tribe, so that those who thought that the wood tribe was weak put away their different hearts, and the trade will continue as usual.

There were eighteen tribes participating in the fair, basically wearing animal skin dresses, and a few wearing grass skirts made of plants, the weak tribes only had a few dozen people, and the powerful ones had five or six hundred, and there were many things to exchange.

There were roots, stems, fruits, plants, and sap of various plants, shoddy tools and utensils of weaving, animal skins and meat, bodies of prey, and even all kinds of strange stones, and the wood witch saw crystals and jade.

At the fair, in addition to rock salt, the wood tribe also took out pottery, back baskets, flint weapons, flour cakes, spices, salted fish, bacon, animal skin clothes, pants, hats, shoes, and various spiritual plants.

Salted fish, bread, bacon, spices, these are naturally the cheapest, flint weapons, animal skin clothes, pottery, etc., the price is relatively high, not much can afford to exchange, and I don't expect to exchange much, this is to show strength.

Demonstrating strength is a new tribe, a necessary diplomatic means to enhance the convincing of others, arouse the reverence of others, consolidate their own dominance, and enhance the influence of the tribe in the jungle.

There are many kinds of strength, who has sharper weapons, whose strength is stronger, whose food is more sufficient, whose utensils are more varied, and whose clansmen live better, may not have to rely on fists, attack the enemy as the bottom, and attack the heart as the top.

Mu Wu asked people to change a few plants that they had never seen before, and they changed to the crystal jade of a small tribe, so they took these things back to the tree house to study, and handed over the trade with the tribes to be fully responsible.

I believe that from today onwards, the name of the Wood Tribe will inevitably spread for hundreds of miles around, louder than the Fire Tribe, and it will soon be able to pull up its own team, and when dealing with the Forest Hou Department, it will also be a little more certain.

......

"The forest is very far away from us, and in the direction of the setting sun, in the footsteps of a warrior, it will take forty sunsets. "In the tree house next to the fire pit, a few old slaves of the Fire Tribe introduced the Forest Waiting Department to the Wood Witch.

The footsteps of ordinary soldiers in the jungle are thirty miles a day, and forty days is almost 1,200 miles, and there are humanitarians: "The forest tribe is very powerful, like the Fire Tribe, there are so many, so many!"

The old man's learning speed was too slow, and it was more difficult to communicate, so he waved his hands and felt that it was not enough, so he grabbed one of the hands of the person next to him, he meant, like the genus of the Fire Tribe, there are about fifteen.

There is also an old man dancing next to him, which roughly means: "Every ten years, the leader will take the salt held by hundreds of people to the forest department to make offerings and participate in their trade fairs. ”

So that's it...... Mu Wu suddenly realized, no wonder when the Wood Tribe attacked, there was not much rock salt found in the Fire Tribe, and the Lingzhi that was found should also be traded by the leader to treat his injuries.

One person is a rattan basket, that is, eighty catties, and one hundred people is eight thousand catties, except for the consumption of the tribe itself, there are indeed a lot of offerings, but there should be a part of the transaction, and there are not so many offerings.

If the Wood Tribe wants to successfully replace the Fire Tribe, it must give more benefits to the Forest Waiting Department, and it will cost eight thousand catties for ten years, but fortunately, the time for them is long enough, and the Fire Tribe only made a supply last year, and it will take eight years.

The accident that happened in the Fire Tribe, when the Forest Waiting Department noticed that something was wrong, at least eight years later, the jungle was so vast and dangerous, more than a thousand miles away, there were too many accidents, and it was impossible to send a letter.

Only when it is found that the Fire Tribe has not made an offering as promised, will the Forest Hou Department react and send someone to the Fire Tribe to check, and that is the time to decide that the Wood Tribe will stay, and the middle can only wait and prepare.

The area of the jungle is too vast, most of the areas, there are fierce beasts lurking, and the influence of people is very limited, although it is belonging, but the connection between the fire tribe and the forest department is only a few months of offering.

As for sending someone to investigate, or taking the initiative to take the blame, it would be too naïve, in their own territory, there is barely some capital to fight, and in other people's land, it is not what they say!

After thinking about it, Mu Wu asked the most crucial question: "How many clansmen are there in the Lin Hou tribe, how many warriors, how many ability warriors?"

The first two questions did stump a few old people, but the last question made them show serious thoughts, and Mu Wu and Zhang's eyes gradually became solemn, but when they saw them, they hesitantly stretched out two fingers.

The two of them widened their eyes, and when they saw them looking at the two of them, they reacted, they should be talking about Wu He and the leader, and the old man saw that he was the strongest in the tribe, so he naturally thought that he was the leader.

Although the old man and the fire leader had been to the forest and Hou Ministry, they could only see the witch and the leader, and it was unknown how many special warriors there were, and the wood witch was disappointed, and there was no other problem, so he waved them away.

Several old men showed eager eyes, Mu Wu nodded, and said to the Fan beside him: "Give them a hundred points!" Fan nodded, several old people were full of surprise, and left with thanks, Mu Wu was silent.

......

In the blink of an eye, another eight years passed, and the population of the wood tribe reached more than 2,200, 1,200 nobles, 300 commoners, 700 slaves, more than 800 warriors, and more than 100 commoners.

The aristocratic population has always grown rapidly, mainly because there are no superfluous activities, and they can only make villains in their rooms at night, and the number of commoners has increased, with new births, slave promotions, and mistakes and depreciation.

The increase in slaves was less, and the new births only made up for the gap in promotion, after all, slaves worked heavily during the day and did not have much energy activity at night, and even in the cold season, there were tasks such as snow clearing and sewing and weaving.

There is no way, the aristocracy gives birth to a small noble, the ordinary people give birth to a small commoner, the slave gives birth to a small slave, and most of the slaves are unwilling to have babies.

In the past eight years, the road to the sea has been basically completed, and the stone road from the fire tribe branch to the salt mine has been completed for many years, and the slaves who are trying to become commoners are already paving the road from the fire tribe to the wood tribe.

With the Sanhe dirt and stone road, it is possible to strengthen the connection between several departments and facilitate the use of ox carts to carry goods. Unlike the road to the salt mine, the stone road to the wood tribe is not paved at the door, but separated by a distance of several miles.

It is also to prevent being discovered by the people of the Forest Waiting Department, and to follow the vine to the wood tribe, affecting the plan behind, more than 300 miles in the middle, the distance is much longer, and the danger is more, and the speed of construction is not fast.

The three departments of the Yi Department, the Pottery Department, and the Ministry of Industry were successively transferred to the Fire Tribe Branch, and a pottery workshop, a brick and tile workshop, a lime workshop, a grinding stone workshop, a weaving workshop, a sewing workshop, and a trade hall were established.

The trade hall is a new trading place, used to trade with various tribes, in addition to the trade fair, usually there are tribes who want to trade, they can also come here, and the fire tribe branch has really developed.

Since then, the headquarters of the wood tribe has completely shifted its focus to planting, animal husbandry and medical care, and is in charge of the education of the tribe.

Of course, those who show extremely high talent can also go to the academy of the headquarters, and if they succeed in their studies and become craftsmen of the tribe, they can also get rid of slave status and become civilians of the tribe, which is considered an additional way out.
