All the savage is jealous, I will farm

Two or three days after the plant ash was poured, the yellowing of potato leaves had obviously recovered. The person in charge of checking was relieved and reported the good news to Su Yao.

Su Yao was not surprised by this result, so he let the person in charge take care of the field and left it alone.

Zhongli led the soldiers to train in the training ground. Now the weapons in the tribe have been replaced by long spears/guns and iron swords, and the training methods have also changed, so they are extraordinarily busy.

When it comes to the protection of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Huangping tribe still wear wooden armor. Now that the iron weapons are fully equipped, the iron armor must also keep up.

Armor is more difficult to make than weapons, and every detail that fits the human body structure needs to be carefully perfected, which requires careful polishing by craftsmen.

Su Yao drew a sketch, marked the details one by one, and then walked to the iron kiln for iron making.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the brick kilns and iron kilns are not easy to stay in. From a long distance, I saw a few blacksmiths with shirtless arms swinging their hammers vigorously.

Tieniu raised his head and saw Su Yao standing at the entrance of the kiln. After being startled, he shouted loudly: "My lord envoy is here, come in and sit down."

Several other blacksmiths also quickly dropped the tools in their hands, and bowed to Su Yao with their arms crossed.

"Everyone don't mind me," Su Yao waved his hand: "Tie Niu just follow me."

Tie Niu was originally not named Tie, but after the construction of the iron kiln, he became so obsessed with iron smelting that he even took the surname Tie. I want to live a lifetime with iron.

Su Yao still admired such a person, he didn't go around the bush, and directly stated his purpose: "This is a battle armor for soldiers. If you don't understand something, you can ask me."

Tie Niu took a look at the manu leather, and first slapped his thigh happily and repeatedly praised: "Okay, it looks good, it looks very strong, and it can attack actively when resisting the opponent's weapon. My lord, you are better than the one we made. That armor is much better."

Ever since they forged iron weapons, they opened their mouths and shut their mouths like spears/spears and swords, which made them look very proud.Only a few of them knew privately that the adjective long/spear sharp sword was secretly learned from Mr. Zhongli.

It’s just that within a few minutes of watching Tie Niu, he kept secretly looking at Su Yao with his eyes. Su Yao didn’t care about it the first two times, thinking that Tie Niu thought it was too difficult to refine the iron armor. Su Yao finally realized something was wrong:

"Just say what you want to say."

Tieniu rubbed his head, and smirked foolishly: "My lord, my parents said that I was very stupid since I was a child, and I have been making iron and have never been to school a few times. The word you wrote on it I don’t know much about them.”

Su Yao's complexion changed, and he almost couldn't hold back a slap on his face. If he didn't know how to read, he didn't say it earlier, and he wasted such a long time.

It seems that the target of literacy needs to be extended to older youths, Su Yao sighed: "Okay, I will give you a little explanation, you just keep it in your mind."

Tie Niu nodded with a simple smile. He is indeed talented in blacksmithing. Su Yao explained the configuration of the iron armor in detail. understand.

The two discussed for a while, and the sound of hammering the iron weakened, and one of them came out and called Tieniu: "Captain, take a look, the bend of the bow can't always be hit well."

Seeing that they were busy, Su Yao didn't linger. When he was about to leave, he saw the brick kiln not far away and thought that it would be better to go and have a look together.

The brick kiln is now getting bigger and bigger, and there are large blocks of green bricks piled up on the open space, which are specially designed by Su Yao with special traces and sizes, and are going to be used to build the city wall.

Brick kilns and pottery kilns are both normal, and pottery kilns are now firing more styles: pottery bowls, jars, and pottery jars. Now there is no shortage of salt. Every family in the tribe grows spicy vegetables, hemp grass and so on. With the ginger and other condiments brought by Su Yao, the women learned to pickle pickles without a teacher, and the clay pots became the best-selling pottery in the tribe.

Now that the affairs in the tribe have settled down completely, Su Yao once again thought about eating salt.

Seeing that summer is coming, he wants to seize the opportunity of tribal gatherings to expand the Huangping tribe, and salt is the best exchange resource.

Su Yao was writing his plans for the future, and the priest came to visit and couldn't sit still when he saw the number of people he had set: "Why only 300 people this time, there are other tribes over there, in case the place where you take the salt belongs to them Site, what are you going to do? Just rely on these three fighters to fight them?"

"It's up to them to fight." Su Yao raised his eyebrows: "The warriors in our tribe have enough to eat and drink. They train all day long, and they wear iron weapons that we have worked so hard to get back. If you still can’t defeat the warriors of other tribes with spears and wooden arrows, then don’t come back at all, and forget about hanging on the southeast branch.”

The priest didn't know what it meant to hang the southeast branch by himself, but he heard Su Yao's meaning clearly, and suddenly he choked in the priest's throat with an old breath, choking his eyes round:

"I know what you said is right. What if the opponent is a big tribe? Tens of thousands of people surround you with hundreds of people, and the light siege can kill you."

Su Yao closed the written plan, and looked at the priest solemnly with peach blossom eyes: "So I have to rely on the priest for help again, I wonder if you can agree."

Every time Su Yao showed his expression, the priest panicked, always feeling that Su Yao was about to make a big fuss, but the priest himself knew that he just followed Su Yao's tricks, and he didn't know what evil he had done.

"That's all, my old bones will make you go to the gods sooner or later." The priest knocked his crutches and sighed: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Su Yao unfolded the cowhide in front of him: "From the place where the plain connects with this mountain, build a transit place."

He talked about the plan bit by bit. Starting from the iron mine in the east, a wide road will connect the Huangping tribe with the salt-alkali mountain in the west. Just like a person has a right hand and a right hand, the iron mine and the salt-alkali mountain are the barren tribe. right-hand man.

As long as we firmly grasp these two places, the development of the Huangping tribe will be just around the corner.What Su Yao has to do now is to tie these two places with the Huangping tribe tightly.

The priest looked at Su Yao's plan and couldn't come to his senses for a long time. The place where the Huangping tribe is located can be attacked by advance and defended by retreat.

If it was true to Su Yao's plan, then the infinitely expanding plain along the river would completely become the bosom of the Huangping tribe, and no tribe could spy on it.

Now the priest has truly recognized Su Yao's plan, and is completely convinced by him.

"Speak, I'll listen." After a long time, the priest replied.

Su Yao evoked a smile, his peach blossom eyes squinted like a fox who had succeeded in a trick: "The roads on the plain don't need to be laboriously repaired. You can walk a familiar road by leading the bull and pulling the cart a few times."

"The most important thing is the road from the plain to the salt-alkali mountain. The five mountains are not easy to climb. The current manpower in our tribe has been building the mountain road for more than ten years. It's not enough." Su Yao was in the mountains. Crossed out:

"I will not waste resources and spend time on road repairs, so this transfer station is very important."

A voice came from outside the door, it was Zhongli who came back.

Su Yao casually threw a peach in the past, and kept saying, "Use the best blue bricks to build a batch of houses here, and let the most trusted people take care of them."

The two talked for a long time, and they didn't stop until it was dark when Ah Huo came to pick up the priest to go back to talk, but the priest's expression was still unfinished, and he obviously wanted to discuss it again.

However, some of what the two of them said afterwards involved medical skills and witchcraft, and had little to do with the salt refining plan.

Naturally, Su Yao's plan was discussed with Zhongli in advance. Zhongli watched and completed the transfer of warriors and a series of reserves in the tribe. Su Yao only trusted Zhongli for these fundamental matters related to the tribe.

In the early morning two days later, three hundred warriors set off with fifteen bulls. Unlike the first time they were relaxed, they set off from the tribe this time with firewood, food and heavy tents on their backs, ready for a long-term stay. Prepare.

After several days of rushing, they knew that there was a source of water there and it was cool to rest there, based on the previous experience, and it was not too difficult, and they arrived at the place where the molten salt was last time before they knew it.

Su Yao knocked down a small mountain bag with his palm before. He was measured, and the collapsed soil did not block their way.

Dozens of salt beds were leveled overnight, and brine was poured into the salt beds just after dawn. After all preparations were completed, the people began to build their own tents.

The tent brought here this time is very large, one can accommodate more than a dozen people. The style of the tent was provided by Su Yao. It is surrounded by six pieces of thick felt and carefully fixed with straw ropes.

A thick layer of hand-woven straw mats is spread inside the tent to prevent moisture and heat. Each person has an animal skin bag filled with a mat made of grass stems, which is soft and light to lie on and carry.

These things are neatly equipped for everyone in the tribe, and the styles and materials are very uniform, so you don’t have to worry about confusing yourself when you write your own name.

The felts are connected with ropes. During the day, the felts can be put away for ventilation, and can be used as parasols to cool off when propped up with poles.Put it down at night and tie it together to prevent wind and insects.

The living environment was much better this time. The soldiers smiled when they built it, and they couldn’t wait to get in and try it out. Someone shouted: "Captain, this is more comfortable than the cushions in my house."

Although the surrounding barren hills are dry and the vegetation is not lush, there are still many types of wild grass, so there is no need to worry about the fifteen bulls having no food to eat.

However, a group of people live a little harder here than in the tribe. The temperature in the valley during the day is too high, and it is too hot to stay by the stove all the time, so they thought of a good way: save the high-concentration brine that has been dried Get up and cook the salt in the cool of the evening.

But the good thing is that when the temperature is high, the brine evaporates very quickly, and the salt is produced very quickly. They can get a lot of salt just by steaming in the sun, and they don't need to hurry up to refine the brine like last time.

It's a pity that the road from the Huangping tribe to here is really difficult, otherwise Su Yao really plans to build this place into a large salt field.

But after all, soil salt is not as convenient as sea salt to deal with. When the tribe develops in the future, he can find a way to dry sea salt.

The soldiers were basking in the salt, while Su Yao and Zhongli left here and continued to walk northwestward. With the idea of ​​knowing themselves and the enemy, he wanted to see which tribe the people he met last time were from.
