077 Sleeping Bear City

"Tell me, how do these two mean the same thing?" The horse whistle looked directly at the deerhand, and his tone was not very kind.

The deer hand was stared at by him like this, and his momentum suddenly weakened a lot. The duel not long ago was vivid, and even the bruises on his face had not been removed, and he could never forget the terrible memories of being hung and beaten in his life.

Therefore, despite his instinctive resistance to Ma Whistle, his tone was still much more restrained in an instant: "Anyway, aren't they all going to sleep in the Bear Clan, one place." ”

"If the place is the same, the thing is the same?" Ma Whistle asked again. When arguing with others, asking more questions and answering less can give you a great advantage.

When the deer boarded, he didn't know how to pick it up, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Ma Whistle retracted his gaze and continued: "Cities and clans are two completely different things, their scales are very different, the clan has a maximum of two or three hundred people, and the city has a minimum of tens of thousands of people, and the most can even reach millions of people. ”

"Millions!"

"That's right. London, for example, has a population of more than one million, dozens of times more than the Apache of all tribes combined. Ma Whistle said.

"There is strength in numbers, and the establishment of a city will make us richer and stronger. Migration takes time and effort, of course, but it's nothing compared to the benefits of the city. ”

An old man hesitated and said, "But with so many people gathered together, what if there are not enough bison?" ”

Ma Whistle replied: "There is a rich herd of bison near Sleeping Bear City, and there are many fish and shrimp in the river, and we are now catching both bison and shrimp, and wheat and corn have been planted in a large area, and the first wheat is about to be harvested." ”

"Plus, we can buy some grain from white people. So food is not a problem. ”

"Buying from whites?"

Horse Whistle: "Sleeping Bear City controls a small white town, which provides us with a lot of convenience. Through this town, we can buy all kinds of common supplies, including grain, from the white world at normal prices. ”

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard it, and they felt quite brain-opening.

After all, according to the Apache routine, the only way to deal with white towns was basically to massacre and loot.

They can neither control their hatred and greed, nor can they control the resistance and flight of white people, and they are ignorant of the accumulation of white technology.

The operation of reverse colonization has never been thought of at all, let alone practiced.

There are still concerns.

“…… The tribes of the Plains have lived here for hundreds of years, and the migration may anger the will of their ancestors. "Someone said.

Rainy Sky smiled and said, "Don't worry, no, I promise you in the name of the High Priest." ”

As a high priest, no one knew more about religion than he did. At least, no one has a better say than him.

After a pause, he added, "And you may not be aware that the Comanches have recently been trying to provoke us. If the Comanches really want to start a war, we can assemble in advance and deal with it. ”

The crowd finally stopped objecting.

Ma Whistle said, "Let's prepare a little and head to Sleeping Bear City in two days." ”

"In addition, I also told the other clans to let all the clans under the Plains tribe move to Sleeping Bear City as much as possible, and if any clan cannot move, I must also send a chief or shaman to explain the situation to me in person."

About ten days later.

Ma Sentry returned to Sleeping Bear with more than 600 people.

Among these more than 600 people, in addition to the tribe, there are also two clans with populations. Both of them were clans not far away, and after receiving the order, they set off directly with the horse whistle.

With the addition of this group of centaurs, the population of the Sleeping Bear Clan exceeded two thousand in one fell swoop. At this scale, it may already be the largest human settlement in Kansas.

Before arriving at Sleeping Bear, people have some apprehensions, but when they see the bustling scene, most people feel much more at ease.

There are many wooden houses under construction or completed, neat and orderly area plans, large fields of farmland in the distance, and most importantly, smiles on people's faces.

All in all, it's a thriving place.

After arriving, in addition to arranging for the new clan to live, Ma Sentinel's first job was naturally to convene a council, officially change the "Sleeping Bear Clan" to "Sleeping Bear City", and adjust the personnel settings at the same time.

"From now on, we have only tribes, no clans. It was also changed to 'Sleeping Bear City'. The sentry took the speech and said to the seventy or so people who were in the meeting.

"After the change to Sleeping Bear City, the clan council was renamed accordingly, and fourteen new members were added, and the responsibilities were updated......"

"The previous six departments, the planting department, the women's department, and the cattle and horses department, were retained in the sleeping bear. In addition, a new department, the Housing Department, was added to be responsible for the construction of houses. There are four in Sleeping Bear City. ”

"The shamanic department, the writing department, and the military department belong to the tribe, and the personnel and responsibilities are basically the same."

"Sleeping Bear City has set up a city chief, referred to as 'mayor', to manage the four departments in the city, and the mayor is appointed by the big chief, and is now served by Shi Yao."

Hearing this, the stone crow couldn't help asking, "I'm the mayor, what about the shaman?" ”

"Of course, the shaman department is handed over to the rainy day." Ma Whistle said.

Then he continued to read the script: "Set up a tribal council, referring to the original Sleeping Bear Clan Council, but there are only ten members, and it will not increase or decrease significantly, including six ministers, three centurions, and the mayor of Sleeping Bear. ”

Ma Whistle has made some adjustments to the system, which is slightly more formal than before, but still relatively rough, after all, even now, the population under his rule is less than 2,200 people, and it is still a large village in essence.

He then made serious inquiries about corn and wheat, and food was important, especially after the population boom.

And the other end of the spectrum is extremely important – the toilet.

In Ma Whistle's view, there is no wooden house to live in tents temporarily, but there is no toilet and it is not suitable to solve it in the wild, which is neither decent, nor hygienic, nor economical, after all, the manure has to be collected to make fertilizer.

Previously, the Mianxiong clan had also built public toilets, but now there are more than 600 people, and there will definitely be hundreds of people from other clans in the near future, and the existing toilets are naturally not enough.

Therefore, the first task of the HDB was to build public toilets.

Aqua privies.

Aqua privies are rudimentary, but given the level of construction available in Apache and the urgent need for toilets, they are the best option.

In fact, it is not simple, Ma Whistle recalls the countryside in the 90s in the previous life, and every household was also a dry toilet. Even more than 20 years later, the incident that gave the noun attribute to "Ollie" took place in the aqua toilet.

He still has one more job to get done as soon as possible, which is to find out who actually contacted the Comanche tribe.

In fact, this is not difficult to check, the people of the Twin Wolf Clan, after a little inquiry, will know who slipped away.
