Chapter 277 Medium and Long-Term Planning
...
The lively Old Mother's Day sacrificial ceremony ended successfully.
The efforts and gains of the Ba people are completely proportional.
The statue of the old mother god created by Xu Chen shocked all races and successfully completed another great god-making movement after the witchmaking operation, bringing unparalleled reputation to the Ba tribe.
The little witch's excellent performance on the Old Mother's Day also brought her great prestige. Whether it was the Six Clan Alliance or the Gonghuo Clan Alliance, they were completely surrendered to the spirit of the little witch, and believed that this sacrificial activity was very successful and they all felt the favor and protection of the Old Mother God.
In addition, Xu Chen took out a bunch of useless pottery on credit and received gratitude from all tribes. He expressed that he would work hard to unite around the Ba tribe in the future, obey the guidance and call of the great witches, work hard for the alliance and peaceful coexistence, and promise that the property of the pottery will be sent to credit as soon as possible.
Xu Chen arranged for all the pottery purchased by the tribes with animal skin to register and write down the credit purchase contract. Then the tribe leaders pressed the handprints. The little witch sister and the Gonghuo clan witch were also stamped with their own bright red witch seals as the supervisors of the two tribe alliances.
These animal skin contracts will be kept in the hands of the great witch of the Ba clan. After completing the transaction, these contracts will be returned to the tribe.
Although Xu Chen did not intend to strictly implement these contracts and did not make any punitive clauses and measures for breach of contract, he could use the deterrence of the gods to drive these tribes to work hard to complete transactions, expand territory, and communicate with strange and alien tribes to find out more useful information to him.
As the leader of the Gonghuo Clan Alliance, the Gonghuo Clan gained very little this time, and only a few pottery was credited, because their large amount of wealth had to be used to redeem their tribe members, and they would have to redeem the remaining tribe members in the future, and they did not have the extra ability to complete the credit purchase transaction.
This time they used the animal skins and various gems and treasures they brought to redeem more than ten hunters. Only more than forty prisoners were left in the Ba tribe, and the number of people at the beginning dropped by almost half.
However, with the arrival of the summer rainy season, various engineering construction will be shut down. The Ba people no longer need too many prisoners, and keeping them will only waste food.
In addition, the population size of the Ba people is also growing. This time, through the Old Mother Festival, 20 young and strong men were recruited. With the addition of this group of new forces, the overall strength of the Ba people has almost doubled.
These twenty people are not the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Wu tribe, nor the ordinary adult men of the Ba tribe before, but all the men who have just grown up at the age of sixteen or seventeen. They are the age of being so energetic that they are full of energy. They are not a problem for fucking tigers and dragons.
But no matter how hard the Ba people are, they are not able to jump to the ground.
Not only was there a great witch guard, but Xu Chen, the mysterious witch king ruler, but also a group of veteran officers such as Feng were trained. They had just been beaten up and joined in. At the moment, they were all obedient with their eyes drooping. No one dared to provoke the three mountains of the Ba tribe.
Although Feng is not the strongest and most powerful leader of all tribe hunters, he is the most popular in the six-parent alliance. Even warriors like Long from the Ukrainian clan must be properly clasped and called Lieutenant when they see him.
Because Feng is the only officer among the six clans who has the rank of lieutenant.
In accordance with military discipline, when subordinates meet superiors, they must salute respectfully and must accept moderation and command during military operations.
The twenty newly joined young hunters were directly organized into a separate training unit. The commander who won the title of Warrior at the last witch ceremony was in charge. They were under two groups, and they followed them to train bows, arrows, spears, and also practice riding.
More than ten war horses have now been included in the organization. The Ba people have officially established the first light cavalry team of human beings, and their main force is a group of hunters led by Feng who are familiar with bows and arrows.
This light cavalry will continue to develop in the next few years. According to Xu Chen's plan, the cavalry must be expanded to at least fifty people in order to form a truly powerful team.
Of course, the more cavalry, the better, but it’s easy to handle people, but it’s hard to handle horses.
Therefore, he felt it was necessary to respond to Dragon's request and get rid of several groups of wild horses in the Great River Basin as soon as possible.
The group of wild horses are a size of hundreds of horses, and their breeds are the same as those of the Ba tribe. If they can be caught, they should be domesticated quickly.
Therefore, after the Old Mother's Day, Xu Chen arranged for Feng and others to ride horses and hunt on their daily horses and carefully observe the activity time and trajectory of these groups of wild horses, and at the same time strengthen contact with the Wu tribe, so that Long also strengthens monitoring of the wild horses within the Wu tribe to obtain more useful information.
Of course, to round up those wild horses, you need to strengthen your riding skills and clever horse-setting skills, and the Ba people's cavalry also need to step up their practice.
After summer, there is a continuous rainy season and it is not suitable for rounding up.
So Xu Chen planned to do this after the beginning of autumn.
Irrigation ditches project restarts.
The dam, fish farming pond and ditches at the mouth of the Wild Wolf Valley have once again entered the busy construction.
However, after late March, heavy rains gradually increased and the project was intermittent.
But because of the sufficient manpower, the project is still constantly improving.
After a few heavy rains, the water in the river surged a lot. The river beaches that were trained in the past were flooded. Flocks of water birds began to frolic and forage in the water with their hatched chicks.
Xu Chen and a few people carried out several bird hunting operations on the river beach. The harvest was pretty good, and they caught more than a dozen wild ducks and a wild goose.
This wild goose was just hatched. Xu Chen observed a precise hunting after a few days. He caught all seven or eight babies in one goose, harvesting the first time in the history of bird hunting.
The wild geese are the ancestors of the geese. They are much larger than wild ducks. Of course, they have very strong attack power. In order to catch the wild geese from the bird net, several prisoners who helped were clamped by the big flat mouth and screamed strangely.
In order to resettle this nest of geese and son, Xu Chen had to clean up the duck house and raise geese.
As for a large group of ducks, they can't be raised in the yard. Last year, more than ten ducks hatched, and this year they are already at the age of laying eggs. In addition, a few old ducks hatched two ducks. This time, more than ten wild ducks were captured. The scale of the ducks has expanded to more than fifty, and it has become a huge poultry tribe.
In order to place this group of ducks, Xu Chen could only build a new duck house in the kiln factory, right next to the excavated fish pond. When the fish pond is completed, these wild ducks will have enough large event venues, which not only reduces the cost and pressure of manual feeding, but also keeps the yard clean and hygienic.
Now the tribe has more than a dozen duck eggs earned every day, which can basically solve the nutritional protection of pregnant women and infants.
In addition to wild ducks and geese, the two big pheasants caught last year also began to lay eggs and hatch eggs. Although only four eggs hatched, the chickens hatched chickens with eggs will definitely double next year.
As a result, all the three main poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese, have been gathered.
His poultry farming plan, which he planned for more than a year, began to enter a large-scale expansion stage.
When the fish pond is repaired, I will find a way to raise a few pigs, a herd of cattle and sheep, and basically a self-sufficient agricultural cooperative will be officially successful.
In fact, until now, his transformation of the Ba tribe has been basically completed.
The remaining medium- and long-term plans are basically nothing to do with the Ba people.
The next task will be expanded to all conquered tribes.
First, with the Six-Gene Alliance as the core, we will vigorously promote cooperation related to survival and security, such as housing, farming, weaving, and joint military training, and strive to consolidate the Six-Generics into a complete agricultural and military group within three to five years, and develop and command in a coordinated manner.
Second, use the Gonghu Alliance as a bridge to continue exploring the lower reaches of the river, and use the Thunder Clan as a fulcrum to build a small market town mainly for transactions on the Gonghu Plain, and vigorously promote the construction of houses and farming development, and slowly develop the Gonghu Braziland.
Third, we strive to find ore materials for salt and smelting bronze, and coal and iron ore are also the preferred targets, striving to complete the transition from the Stone Age to the Metal Age within three to five years.
Fourth, vigorously develop advanced transportation tools such as war horses, rafts and even boats, strengthen exchanges and connections between tribes, and wait for an opportunity to conquer more tribes in the Great River Basin and gather more people. Within five years, the number of people hopes to control exceeds 10,000.
The above are all mid-term plans for the next three to five years.
As for the long term, he now only has one goal, which is to establish a kingdom with a population of 100,000, and bring humans from the Stone Age where they eat raw meat and drink blood to the feudal dynasty.
Building schools, promoting texts, and developing medical care...
