In short, copper is a mineral with a good value, otherwise it would not be used as currency. In fact, compared with iron, the application field of copper is relatively small, iron counterfeiting is cheap and durable, widely used in military and production, and the iron required for production alone is an incomparably huge market, not to mention a variety of inputs in the military neighborhood.

Therefore, the experts of Champasak were given an important task by the Pongpon Valley, looking for iron ore in Lancang. Cham iron ore reserves are actually very rich, most of the iron ore is distributed in the north of Da Viet Province, of course, the Pengjiao only detected these minerals, and did not mine. Anyway, the Cham people have money, although there are many things that cannot be bought with money, but with their current financial resources and the current environment, no one will refuse others to buy things, and there are still rich Cham people who buy things.

The instructions given by the experts are probably to abandon Champasak and go to Sichuan Khouang to find iron ore, and the reason given is that Sichuan Khouang has conditions suitable for the formation of iron ore, as for this condition, even the experts themselves do not know, only as if it is studied by some other geological experts in the country, as for the experts in Lancang, they don't know these things, in fact, how can there be those experts, they are all about Pengqiao will know these things, he has worked in various countries for a period of time in his previous life, and has stayed in various places for different times. So I've heard of these things.

Immediately the people set off to Sichuan Khouang to explore, Lancang's iron tools are dependent on foreign imports, so it is easy to be stuck by others, once foreign countries do not supply iron, they will soon decline in combat effectiveness, which is naturally what they do not want to see, so for the demand for iron ore, they are urgent, so the requirements for experts to find iron ore have naturally been unanimously agreed by officials at all levels, of course, the consent of Faang is also crucial, after all, the monarch is the ultimate decision-maker.

On April 20, the 24th year, the second group of immigrants arrived on Flores Island, the immigrants on the island were safe, but there were large and small frictions between the tribes, it turned out that there was a strong competitor in the largest tribe on the island, he wanted to compete for the position of the tribal chief, he naturally got the support of many tribal elders, otherwise he would not dare to directly argue with the chief.

This competitor comes from a small tribe attached, in a hunt he single-handedly rescued the besieged indigenous team, this indigenous team is a team that delivers supplies from the central tribe to the small tribes, it can also be said to be a merchant, this time the merchant is led by a high-ranking tribe, he originally thought that he would fall here, but fortunately he was rescued by this young man, so the two befriended. Of course, this alone does not guarantee that he will be supported by the elders.

The Majapahit had been trading with the islanders for a long time, but suddenly in the past year, the Majapahit had never set foot on the island again, and through the call between the sorcerer and the ancient ancestor spirits, he learned that it was the gods who were dissatisfied with the chieftain to condemn him, of course, this was just an opportunity. When everyone heard what the wizard said, they immediately asked, "Then who is the one who will lead us to glory?" ”

"I don't know that person yet." The wizard said, I need to communicate with the ancestor again to confirm who that person is, and I will call the ancestor again in the next few days to determine who that person really is.

Naturally, the top of the tribe scoffed at this, and only the ruling class knew whether the gods existed or not, but the people were really convinced that the water and food they drank and even the land they lived on were gods, and now it was a crime for them to live on this land, so people would prepare tributes and ask the gods to forgive their sins, just as they had spared the sins of others. Therefore, they generally believe in the instructions of the gods.

At first such remarks were suppressed by the chief, but later the news spread to some of the tribesmen, first from the small tribes of the annexes, and then slowly spread to their own tribes, but under the strong hand of the chief, the matter soon subsided a little.

However, the sorcerer later announced the results of his communication with the gods, and according to him, our chief will be a wise warrior with natural powers, and he will lead us to a more brilliant future. As soon as these words came out, all of them were boiling, because they were extremely keen on duels, and they usually had no entertainment projects, so they were naturally enthusiastic about this rare boring project. At the same time, the sorcerer's prophecy also means that the chief is not suitable to lead the tribe, and the leader of the tribe will be the most powerful, which means that everyone is qualified to compete for the chief.

After all, in this era of strong survival, people need to have the ability to protect themselves, so most people have a strong physique, you can say that they are other or something, but you can't say that they don't have strength. Those who are confident are gearing up to win the position of tribal chieftain in the competition.

The current chieftain is naturally pale, he now wants to cut the wizard with a thousand knives, but the status of the wizard is much higher than that of him, the chief, and he insists on moving him, isn't it just that he is not mismanaged and mediocre? So naturally he would not do such a thing, the top priority is to consolidate his dominance, and there is a way to replace the wizard in the future.

He naturally knows that it is not easy to suppress things again, this competition must be held, and he must win the first place in this competition, this is the best way to consolidate his rule, and it is also a good opportunity to slap the wizard in the face and weaken the authority of the wizard, and he must take more of the first place in this competition, otherwise everything is empty talk.

He thinks he's mighty, but there's no guarantee that he'll win the first place, so he's ready to use some means.

The next day, the whole tribe was informed that the chief would preside over the assembly and would be one of the members of the competition. Then here are the entry requirements: Participants must be recommended by a clan elder or wizard to be eligible for the conference.

That's right, this is the way he came up with, those elders must want themselves or their own heirs to be the chief, then they definitely can't create so many competitors for themselves, so his competitors are limited to a very small range, and he thinks that these elders can still be right.
