From the Xia tribe to the Yushan tribe, it took a total of five days, and from the Yushan tribe to the Xia tribe, Xia Qi only took less than three days.

Xia Qi led the cavalry first, all the way towards the Xia tribe, still the same sentence, in order to prevent the ice from breaking, so the cavalry team looked a little scattered.

It is worth mentioning that the four hooves of the war horse are all covered with animal skins, which can increase friction and effectively prevent the horse's hooves from slipping on the ice, so that people turn over on their backs.

When Du Xia Qi returned to the tribe, he found that the city foundations on all four sides had been completed, and the city wall was now being built.

Rocks were not used in the construction of the city wall, because they needed to be transported from the Qingyan tribe, and it took a lot of time on the road to go back and forth.

Therefore, they simply used local materials and used the soil that was everywhere to build a version of the wall.

To be precise, it should be a simplified version of the wall.

The so-called plate building refers to the use of two side plates and one end plate to form a mold, and the other end to add a movable fixture. After ramming, the formwork is removed and translated, and it is continuously built to the required length, which is the first version.

Then the mold is moved to the first version, and the second version is built in the same way, and the version is raised to the required height one by one, and the wall built by this method is a whole, and it is much stronger and more durable than the wall built by other defense lines.

The reason why it is said that it is a simple version is because the real version of the city wall still needs to add lime, sand and other materials, but Xia Qi only has clay and hay here to increase adhesion and adhesion.

However, the clay had been burned by fire beforehand.

The advantage of this is that it can kill insect eggs, plant seeds, etc. in the clay, preventing them from wreaking havoc inside the city walls in the coming year.

The construction team is in full swing, and Xia Qi intends to reward them, but thinking about it, the only thing that can be taken out in the tribe seems to be food.

But now everyone in the tribe can eat enough, and if something is in the period of public ownership, they don't know what to reward if it's really rewarded.

Xia Qi pondered whether he should guide the tribe to change from public ownership to private ownership, and then the people in the tribe would naturally trade with each other, and then he could adapt to the times and get coins out.

Many people may think that the appearance of coins will make civilization complicated, become selfish, and even intrigue for profit, but in fact it is an inevitability.

The harder you work, the more money you make, the more money you make, the more money you make, you can upgrade from pickled steamed buns for three meals a day to eat meat for one meal, and you can also move from your own tattered tent to a refreshing and comfortable wooden house.

Desire is also the driving force for the development and progress of civilization.

Therefore, as the supreme ruler of civilization, Xia Qi doesn't care at all that the people under his command have selfish desires, there is a good saying, if the water is clear, there are no fish, and if the people are observed, there are no disciples, the previous emperor, if he really checked all the officials under his hands one by one, then it is estimated that most of them will have to be pushed out and beheaded.

In other words, as long as you are loyal to me, and at the same time have good enough ability to do everything, you can do all the things I have assigned to you, and do it beautifully! If you meet my requirements, and then you embezzle a dozen copper coins from the funds or proceeds of the 1,000 copper coins, will I care? There's no need to care at all, so what's the matter with turning a blind eye to you?

And how did the corrupt officials who were raided in history come from? Their mistake is that they didn't take a good sense of proportion, the ruler and the emperor, they are the boss, and the officials below are the employees, the boss eats meat, and the employees drink the broth, no problem, but once it is the other way around, you gnaw the meat yourself, and then bring a bowl of clear soup to the boss to drink, then you are looking for your own death.

But this needs to be gradual, fat people don't eat it in one bite. What's more, for the economic aspect, Xia Qi is really a smear. Although he had asked Yang Guang for advice several times, what the other party said was too profound, and he couldn't figure out what it was for a long time.

Yang Guang had long realized this, what he meant was that when Xia Qi was promoted to the bronze rank, he would open an auction house and let him go there to see when the time came, and maybe there would be economic skill books for sale.

In addition, with the construction of the city wall, the distance between the Xia tribe and the black gold tribe is already very close, and it only takes less than half a day to get out of the city wall.

When the road is built in the future, the time between the two tribes will be shortened again.

"Nothing has happened to the tribe in the past few days, has it?" First of all, Xia Qi called Pan and asked him about the recent situation of the tribe.

For Pan, Xia Qi is apologetic, he is the patriarch, but he loses most of the work in the tribe to the other party on weekdays, making Pan busy all day long.

This time, he disappeared for nearly ten days in succession, and the entire tribe pressed on Pan's body.

Pan glanced up at Xia Qi, although he didn't say anything, but Xia Qi understood the meaning, that is, he said: Do you still know to come back? You finally remembered that you were still a patriarch?

For this, Xia Qi just smiled apologetically and didn't say anything.

"Nothing special happened during this time. Because the population has increased in a short period of time, the consumption of coal has skyrocketed, and the speed of coal mining cannot keep up with the use, so I sent some more people over. Also, the Qingyan tribe also wants to build a city wall, hoping that we can transfer some manpower, and the coal ......"

Pan's words were not finished, and he was directly interrupted by Xia Qi.

"Listen, you can make your own decisions about these things, don't tell me again, is there anything else?"

Pan's eyes were called a grudge, he had never seen such a lazy patriarch.

"Yes." Pan took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and then said, "Those foreign tribes have been integrated into the past, and now they have begun to learn how to build our camp walls, and they have also learned how to take the slings, and I have seen them go hunting in the jungle with their own eyes. ”

"Oh?"

Pan's words attracted Xia Qi's attention, a tribe that does not want to go to one place, he is not afraid of how much comes, but now that this tribe has been integrated, he can no longer turn a blind eye as before, and this tribe is still so close to the Xia tribe.

I don't know if it's because the wings of Xia Qi's little butterfly are fanned too fiercely, the surrounding tribes have been driven by him, one by one, they have all begun to use bows and arrows, and build camp walls, fortunately, the process of smelting metal has not spread out, and it is not so easy to learn, so in terms of weapons, Xia Qi and they still have an obvious advantage.

But it can't be careless, these natives are obviously also trying to catch up, if he is too lax, in case he is caught up, it will be really sad.

Xia Qi's face became solemn, and he said to Pan: "I know, always pay attention to the situation of that tribe, by the way, does that tribe have a name?" ”

"I don't think so." Pan thought for a moment, then replied.

Hearing the answer he wanted, Xia Qi's heart was also relieved, there was no name yet, which meant that the tribe had not completely settled together. Sometimes it's really hard to imagine that after a tribe has a name, that tribe can burst out with unimaginable cohesion.

In two more days, the remaining troops will all return to the Xia tribe, and by that time, won't this newborn tribe be allowed to be pinched and rounded by Xia Qi?

"It's okay if you don't have it, you can get busy first."

Bidding farewell to Pan, Xia Qi came to the place where the Ordnance Department worked.

The Ordnance Department is divided into four groups, of which the research group is headed by Xia Fox, and the casting department and the forging department are headed by Chi, and the stone tool grinding group, which was once the most lively, is now deserted.

Since the tribe had copper, the demand for stone tools has become less, and now, that is, agricultural tools, need to use stone tools to polish the group.

And this is clearly not what Aries wants.

"Patriarch, are you looking for me?"

Although the current Aries is still the minister of the Ordnance Department, his spirit and spirit are far inferior to those of the past, and Xia Qi can also understand it, after all, the gap is too big.

Aries looked at Xia Qi expectantly, because he knew that the only person who could get the stone tool grinding team out of this situation was Xia Qi, the patriarch of the Xia tribe.

Xia Qi nodded and said, "Well, I'll come and see you." ”

He looked at the white sheep, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
