Pan looked at Xia Qi's back, as if he was a little daughter-in-law like that, and her eyes were so resentful and resentful.

It's also that he was too naïve, he didn't expect the patriarch to trust himself so much, and he actually handed over such a big project to himself.

"Hey, it's my bad luck."

Xiong patted his head in annoyance, he had no choice but to find more than twenty warriors and go to the location of those foreign tribes together.

At this time, the Xia tribe's western territory has reached the vicinity of the Gobi Desert, and most of the foreign camps are concentrated in the east of the Xia tribe, which is close to the Great Xia Lake, where you can catch some fish without starving.

Bounded by Jingguan, the west is the territory of the Xia tribe, and the east is home to a large number of large and small foreign tribes, which are not in sight.

These tribes are not monolithic, and if it weren't for the cold and hunger, some people might never meet each other for the rest of their lives. They are wary of each other, and tribes seem to be next to each other, but there is a clear dividing line.

Seeing Pan and his party, the originally noisy crowd instantly quieted down, and they all looked at Pan and the others cautiously.

There is no way, the Xia tribe has always been too domineering, not only did they intimidate them with Jingguan, but also once for the border line, anyone who dared to cross the border line and enter the Xia tribe was executed for whatever reason.

The Xia tribe maintained his rule over the region in such a brutal way.

Seeing the cautious and resentful eyes of these people, Pan didn't care.

"You guys are really lucky, our patriarch is going to build a city wall, as long as you join the construction team, each person will be rewarded with a fish per day, you can transfer your residence to the territory of my Xia tribe, under our protection, you can give priority to joining the Xia tribe when the time comes. You only have this one chance, and if you miss it, you won't have anywhere to regret it. ”

Pan turned around and walked away, seemingly unconcerned about the reaction of these people.

In fact, this is a little experience that Pan has summed up for a long time, and sometimes the more people show that they care about the other person, the more they will kick their noses in the face. On the contrary, if you show that you don't care, the other party will be more and more flattering.

Pan's words immediately caused an uproar among these tribes, such favorable conditions, it would be false to say that they were not impressed. But between the previous domineering behavior of the Xia tribe, they were worried that this was a conspiracy, and if the Xia tribe used this as an excuse to kill all of them, there would be no place to reason.

A group of people made a noise for a long time, and finally they didn't discuss a reason.

"No matter, as long as you can eat a full meal, you will die!" Some people couldn't sit still, and shouted loudly with their own people, and approached Jingguan step by step.

This is a man with a rough face, and there are more than a hundred people under him, and after packing up his things, he led his people towards the location of the Xia tribe.

I saw that he first walked to the position of Jingguan, which was regarded as a great fear of death in the past, but the man just glanced at it, and then walked across the cordon.

A large group of people behind him all opened their eyes wide, in the past, as long as anyone dared to cross this Jingguan, they would be shot to death by the Xia tribe without hesitation.

But this time, the Xia tribe did not attack, and seeing that the man was taking his tribe farther and farther, the people of the other tribes reacted and rushed to follow.

Some uninformed people heard the movement and saw a group of people running towards the Xia tribe, and hurriedly shouted: "Eh, what are you doing, don't die!" ”

"Damn, why don't you call me for this good thing?" However, when they heard that it was the Xia tribe who wanted to recruit people to build the city wall, they immediately shouted and chased after them.

However, there are also guys who think they are smart people, looking at these guys who are running towards the Xia tribe in a hurry, with a look of disdain on their faces.

"Hmph, a bunch of fools, that Xia tribe would be so kind? I'm afraid that I won't even know how I died when the time comes. ”

A large group of people rushed to the Xia tribe, but not all of them would be selected to build the city walls, only those who were young and strong would be eligible for this qualification.

But then again, it has been more than two months since the winter, and there are not many old and weak people left who can hold on until now. These individuals were sent to the fishing team to work on the side, and each was paid half a fish a day.

Half a fish, although not enough to fill the belly, is not enough to starve to death.

In just half a day, Pan recruited more than a thousand people, and it can only be said that Xia Qi underestimated the allure of this food too much. If it weren't for the strong strength to guard it, I'm afraid the current Xia tribe would have long since disappeared.

Instead of letting the men work directly, Pan first divided an area for them to say that this was where they would rest in the future, and then distributed a fish to each of them.

Seeing that they had given themselves food before they started working, the hearts of the people who were still a little apprehensive finally fell.

When the men had gobbled up the fish, Pan said that the men would rest early and start their work tomorrow.

Later, Pan found someone from the construction team, and also brought two horses, this guy is really just as Xia Qi said, ready to build a city wall that can accommodate two horses in parallel.

In the hands of the members of the construction team, each hand has a straight tree trunk, which is their measuring tool.

Because considering what the patriarch said...... The female wall, Pan also specifically calculated the width a lot more.

After calculating the width, Pan drew marks on the ground with a copper spear, and built the castle wall based on this tomorrow.

At present, the weapons of the Xia tribe are still those ones, battle axes, copper spears, and feather arrows, but the axes, spearheads, and arrow clusters have all been replaced with copper ones.

It's not that Xia Qi doesn't want to update the tribe's weapons, it's just that the texture of the copper is too soft, and he plans to wait until he gets the bronze before forging a new weapon.

It's just that bronze is not a pure natural mineral, but an alloy, and if you want to smelt bronze, you need to combine copper with another mineral, but now there is no Xia tribe here.

Xia Qi had specifically asked about the Qingyan tribe, but the answer he got from the other party was no.

Xia Qi didn't know if the other party was telling the truth, but the weapons of the Qingyan tribe were indeed very different from bronze in appearance. Bronze, as the name suggests, is cyan throughout, but the weapons of the Qingyan tribe are silver-gray, and the hardness is far inferior to bronze.

From this point of view, the Qingyan tribe doesn't seem to be lying. Or maybe the Qingyan tribe actually has that kind of ore, but they don't know it. And in order to prevent the Qingyan tribe from detecting, Xia Qi couldn't describe the appearance of that kind of ore to them.

So the plan to smelt bronze and forge bronze weapons can only be stranded without limits.

When a group of people from Pan measured the width of the city wall, a group of people were watching from a distance, not daring to approach. As they watched, they were still guessing what the group was doing.

The next morning, the makeshift camp was in chaos, and the reason for this was that many people woke up to find that the fish they had hidden well before going to bed had disappeared.

"Say, didn't you steal my fish!"

"Are you blind? Didn't you see my fish too? ”

"Fart! It's my fish! ”

"Hey, there's a fight! There was a fight! ”

Because of a fish that was not eaten up, a group of people instantly became a mess, and seeing that the matter was about to get bigger and bigger and spread to others, Pan finally came with a team of people.

"Stop, what are you doing!"

Pan scolded, the copper spear in his hand danced continuously, and the shaft of the spear rained down on the two people who were fighting.

"He stole my fish!" Even though the two had separated, a half-grown kid still complained.

The man he accused did not speak, but just looked at him with gloomy eyes.

These people are not considered to be from the Xia tribe at present, and Pan is not used to them, so he directly scolded: "I don't care what the reason for your dispute, but I don't want to see the next time, otherwise, you all get out!" ”

The half-grown boy didn't speak, just puffed up and looked at the man who stole his fish.

Pan was too lazy to break these lawsuits, but said coldly: "Now, if you want to work, follow me, if you don't want to, get out of here!" ”

A group of people kept their heads down and didn't speak, but none of them left.

There's food here, it's safer, and they're stupid to leave.

Pan led the men to the location he had surveyed yesterday, and by this time the two lines that Pan had drawn on the ground had been replaced by stones.

Pan said to the men, "Your task is to pick up branches and fill the open space between the stones. ”

A group of people looked at Pan in a daze, and didn't react for a while, until Pan shouted:

"Don't go yet!"

A group of people scattered in an instant like frightened chickens.

There are so many branches and timber around the camp that I don't know how many are abandoned by the cutting team every day.

Soon, a fire was rising, but the men were still collecting wood.

The reason for Pan to do this is very simple, the weather is so cold that the land is frozen hard, if you can't dig much in a day, it is better to bake it with a high fire first, thaw the land first, and dig some.

Pan divided the men into two teams, one to collect timber and the other to be given shovels and hoes, and when the fire had cleared and the temperature had dissipated, they would begin digging up the thawed and softened soil.

Once the soil below has hardened again, continue to fill the bottom with wood, and the cycle repeats.

In just a few days, these people dug a trench more than a thousand meters long and more than half a man deep.
