Three days later, except for the headquarters of the Douwei Society, all the other tribes that had established trading relationships sent back letters.

They all agreed to the law of weights and measures, and were willing to abide by this new rule, while thanking Yan Zheng for his generosity in lowering the price of salt again, and hoping to increase the supply of salt.

Yan Zheng readily agreed, saying that in a few months, salt can be sold without restrictions.

And the headquarters of the Douwei Society did not reply, he felt that it was normal, after all, there were several second-class dealers, and they already had other ways to obtain salt.

So even if it costs a little more, they have to maintain the dignity of a large tribe.

This also made Yan Zheng once again determine his united front policy, that is, this kind of large tribe with a certain degree of cohesion must not be placed within the scope of the primary united front.

Their best outcome is to break up into small tribes or even be wiped out!

Only by eliminating the organizational form that has been formed can we ensure that there is only one voice in this region.

And after the fire of weights and measures was burned, Yan Zheng took advantage of the situation to let a team of armor soldiers start to determine the territory.

The armor warriors led by Lu Wan began to set the boundary monuments belonging to Mona in the tribal hunting grounds.

This kind of boundary monument is very simple, with only three Chinese characters on it, and it is written Monabu.

In order to let the savage write these three words more quickly, Yan Zheng deliberately got a few pieces of animal skin and cut out these words on it.

Get some more dye, have these people printed on the wooden pillars, and then carve them out with a knife.

According to the rule of one block every fifty steps, Lu Wan and the others entered the disputed hunting ground first.

There is no need to take advantage of others, and directly set a boundary monument at a suitable demarcation point.

And the enclave or something is all abandoned, as long as this piece of territory can be connected.

At the beginning of this work, Yan Zheng ordered Zhang Sanfeng to start building the city.

He planned to build a small city according to the design of three miles in length and width.

The walls don't need to be too high, the walls that are three meters high and the base is one meter thick are enough to drive the wild people who don't have these ladders crazy.

With iron tools and more than 500 naturalized people, the work progressed rapidly.

In particular, Yan Zheng creatively made a large wooden clay brick mold, and these people only need to put thatch and clay into it and use force to make it strong, and they can get a clay brick.

Yan Zheng thought about both the red brick city wall and the stone city wall, and finally decided that it was cost-effective to use stone for the base and soil for the top, anyway, the savages couldn't get powerful siege equipment.

In this way, Monabe seemed to be quiet again, doing things that the other tribes did not understand.

Ten days after the start of the boundary marker, an attack occurred, in which one person was wounded, and the enemy lay in ambush on the tree and ran away.

Immediately afterwards, another hunting party was attacked, and more than a dozen unknown people tried to snatch the weapons of the lone hunting team members.

As a result, more than a dozen of them, the three who did not win the battle and fell alone, left a few corpses, and fled in a hurry.

Yan Zheng was very angry after seeing the corpses, because the tattoos on these people's faces had been deliberately removed.

He secretly scolded this group of savages for not talking about martial virtues, obviously they had been talking about the ancestral spirit belief, but when something happened, he actually wiped the totem off his face without caring about the symbol of a warrior.

But he didn't have a seizure, and continued to do whatever he had to do.

It wasn't until someone destroyed the newly erected boundary monument that he became furious.

He immediately summoned all the tribal envoys and informed them of the vile destruction of the boundary monuments.

He also told them what the boundary pillar was, what the role of the boundary pillar was, and what the consequences would be of crossing the boundary and destroying the boundary pillar.

After hearing this, these tribal envoys ran back to the tribe in fear.

A few days later, a reply came, saying that their tribe was willing to use the boundary monument as the boundary in the future, and at the same time expressed doubts, obviously they did not move the boundary monument.

Yan Zheng didn't care, and let the tribes in the damaged area send people to re-establish the boundary monument.

Then let Lu Wan move the boundary monument twenty steps forward when he set up the new boundary monument.

These surrounding tribes didn't have a word, they just thought about calming the people, anyway, twenty steps away is only a piece of land, and there are not a few more prey.

It's just that after a period of time after the new boundary marker was erected, new damage points appeared.

This made Yan Zheng angry again, and demanded that these tribes who defended that there were no boundary monuments must patrol their borders with them.

As a result, the surrounding tribes have a good habit of patrolling the border.

Soon after, some tribes said that they had seen several Douwei people who destroyed boundary monuments.

Yan Zheng fell into a rage, and he sent the armor to the Taduo Ministry, the Adao Ministry, and the Reed Ministry, to ask for justice, and announced the temporary suspension of the transaction.

In a panic, these tribes dissociated themselves one after another, saying that the matter had nothing to do with them.

In order to appease the anger of Monabe, they sent messengers and sent fifteen maidens, thirty pieces of animal skins, and one hundred catties of dried meat.

By the way, he agreed to Yan Zheng's request and moved the boundary marker on the border with them twenty steps forward.

This matter was perfectly resolved, and Mona also increased patrols on the border and destroyed boundary monuments, which gradually subsided.

Boom - a deep sound sounded into the wood, an arrow firmly nailed to the stake, the tail still shaking wildly.

Yan Zheng looked at the bow and crossbow in his hand, still a little dissatisfied!

But the clansmen standing beside him were all sluggish.

It's just that this crossbow not only shoots far, but also at such a long distance, it can also enter the wood for three points, which is many times stronger than the earth bow in their hands!

Yan Zheng knew that the power of the bow and crossbow was far more than that.

Although this bow and crossbow is so simple that it explodes, and a crossbow machine has a bit of technical content, the rest of the place is almost like a rudimentary weapon made by special forces.

The strength of the arm mainly comes from the bamboo chips, take more than ten years of bamboo, and only use the most resilient green bark part.

After boiling in oil, the four pieces are glued together with a binder made from fish bladders, and then tied up with the tendons of the deer, and then tied tightly with layers of fine hemp rope.

The bowstring is made of the deer's small intestine casing, and there is no aiming device.

"Lan Ya, you can try!" Yan Zheng handed the crossbow to Lan Ya on the side.

After Lan Ya took it, she didn't have a lot of effort to wind it, and after learning to aim, she pulled the trigger.

Whoosh - the arrow was firmly nailed to the stake in the distance.

"Good!" Lu Wan on the side couldn't help but scream.

"Damn, if it weren't for the compound bow being too difficult, this crossbow would really be as good as a compound bow!" Yan Zheng scolded secretly.

This is the longest-range individual weapon he can make so far, and as for things like bed crossbows and trebuchets, he doesn't think there is a need for them at the moment.

"Lu Wan, you use a bow and arrow, try it with Lan Yabi!" Yan Zheng said again.

Lu Wan nodded, picked up his big bow, and walked to Lan Ya's side.

His large bow was made of wood, somewhat like the longbow of the West. It is much larger than the bow used by ordinary people.

After Yan Zheng announced the start of the competition, both of them began to shoot arrows at the same target.

Lu Wan quickly misses the arrows, and all of them hit the stake.

Lan Ya's speed was very slow, but all the arrows also hit the stake.

"Miko, I've lost!" Lu Wan took the initiative to admit defeat.

Yan Zheng smiled and said, "Do you think a crossbow is better, or a longbow?" ”

"Good crossbow, my archery skills came from a young age, but Lan Ya can quickly be as powerful as me, and my longbow can't be pulled by ordinary people, and those who can pull it are not as good at archery as me!" When Lu Wan talked about force, his mind was very clear.

Yan Zheng nodded and said, "The thinner clansmen should be replaced with crossbows!" ”

Lu Wan's eyes lit up and said, "Divine Son, when they change into crossbows, you let me take them for a run again, I believe that our boundary monument can still move twenty steps forward!" ”

Yan Zheng was stunned, the seeds of expansion had already been planted in the hearts of these people?
