MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 54

The Black Mountain tribe is a tribe of more than 100 people. It is located in the middle of a large wilderness, surrounded by rolling hills and plains, and does not rely on mountains.

When a group of people in the tribe saw the tall and fierce Siya, they screamed and fled in all directions, and the men were busy on guard.

Sang Yu asked Si Ya to guard outside the tribe, and He Yu followed Ji to meet their leader.

The leader was a man in his fifties.

Seeing Ji coming back with outsiders, he frowned.

Someone came to report the appearance of a fierce beast. Sang Yu hurriedly said: "That is the guardian beast of our Phoenix tribe. You don't need to panic, it doesn't hurt people."

Only then did the leader of the other party calm down a little, cut straight to the point, and asked Sang Yu and the others why they were here.

Sang Yu said, "We are members of the Phoenix tribe. Our tribe has pottery and salt."

After speaking, let Ji show the leader the two pots of salt that were given to him just now.

The leader of the other party was called Hei, holding the heavy jar of salt, feeling a little surprised.

These grains of salt are too pure, white and flawless, and they are completely different from the salt they exchanged before.

Even this jar is smooth and hard, and there are decorative patterns on it.

He picked up a grain of salt and threw it into his mouth. The next moment, the expression on his face was the same as Ji's expression when he tasted it for the first time.

amazing!

unbelievable!

Seeing this, the other elders of the tribe couldn't help swallowing.

Hei asked each of them to go over and have a taste. Sure enough, everyone looked like their jaws were about to drop.

Sang Yu took off the pannier from her back and put it in front of several people. There were still some porcelain and two pots of salt in it.

"There are a lot of salt and pots like this. If the Black Mountain tribe is willing to trade with us for a long time, you can use our salt and clay pots."

Hearing this, Hei was not sure, and asked with some doubts: "I don't know if there is anything in our tribe that we can exchange with you?"

"numb…"

Sang Yu asked Yu to take out the two stalks of flax and ramie that he had bought just now, and show them in front of these people.

"Can this thing be exchanged?"

"Of course, we want a lot of hemp like that."

Things like this have been growing around the Black Tribe. They don't know that other tribes are willing to exchange the most precious salt and clay pots.

Immediately excited, he said: "Then how do we change it, cut it off and send it over, or do you guys come and get it?"

"It's too heavy to cut down and send over. We only need the outer layer of skin. You cut it down and dry it in the sun. If you fill one rattan basket, you can exchange two pots of salt or five pottery pots. If you can send it over, we will pay more." Give half a jar of salt or two clay pots."

The obtained hemp skin was very light after drying, and Sang Yu didn't want to take advantage of them, so he offered such a price.

This value is a great thing for the Black Mountain Tribe. Hei is very satisfied with this transaction, but he still asks a little nervously: "Otherwise, you should come and get it."

He was afraid that if his people went, they would never return.

In the first transaction, mutual trust was not enough. Sang Yu could understand their feelings. Thinking that the tribe already had horses, she smiled and said:

"Okay, when we come to pick up the goods, you can start preparing now. These are the salt and pottery left over from our trip to the market. They are considered as deposits from our tribe. I will give them to you first and deduct them next time. "

Hei was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

Sangyu also told them that it is best to soak these flax and other plants after they are cut, so that they can be peeled better after soaking.

The black leader said that they just discovered this method, so they have recently used the soaking method to get hemp.

It is now April, and Sang Yu plans to come and pick it up in a month.

I don't know if this tribe will count or not.

So he carved thirty horizontal lines on the stone wall next to him and said: "This one represents a day, after a day you cross out one, and we will come when the crossing is over."

The people of the Black Tribe probably counted in the same way, saying that they would definitely prepare the goods well.

Sang Yu took Yu and Si Yayu to say goodbye to them and started their return journey.

On the way, Yu couldn't help asking: "Why don't we go back and grow our own, and trade with them."

Sang Yu said: "It takes a lot of time and energy to grow these kinds of hemp. People in our tribe are going to be busy building houses, and the planting team also needs to grow food. If we continue to plant this, we will not have enough manpower."

"And our salt-making and pottery-making processes are much simpler than growing hemp. A pot of salt can exchange a lot of hemp, so there is no need to waste manpower on these things."

Yu understood what Sang Yu meant, and admired her even more.

"But this time when I go back, I have to get close to those horses, tame the horses within a month, and come here next time on horseback instead of walking."

Just walking like this, from five days from the tribe to the market to three days here, adding up to eight days, riding a horse can save more than half of the time.

As soon as he heard that he was going to ride a horse, Yu was very excited.

When I saw Sangyu riding Siya before, I had always been envious, but the tribe's divine beast. If it is not necessary, Sangyu will not ride, let alone other people.

Now that there are horses to ride, the thought of being able to travel at a gallop is simply too exciting.

Just thinking about it makes one's blood boil.

It took the two of them one night to catch up with Jiao and Miao and the others, and finally diverted back to the tribe.

In the tribe, seeing that the construction team led by He Yan has completed two brick kilns, Sang Yu's plan to build a house is about to be implemented.

The location of the residential area is still at the foot of the mountain, down from the original grass shed and above the farmland.

Considering the current development speed and location of the tribe, Xindi is bound to upgrade upwards in the future and go straight to the city goal.

With a long-term goal, you have to put your eyes on your feet and plan every step in advance.

The basis of urban planning should start with the construction of underground drainage pipes.

In the past in the countryside, every household had to build a septic tank, and the feces discharged by domestic poultry and livestock were mixed with some rotten leaves. It can produce biogas, which can be used to fertilize the farmland after treatment.

Now that houses are being planned and built in Xindi, Sang Yu does not plan to build septic tanks for each household independently.

If you want to do it, do it big, first dig the pipes underground, and then build the house.

Including the construction of houses in the future, the orientation and structural design of the houses must also be uniform, and the sewers of each house directly lead to the underground pipes of the entire new land.

This pipeline is actually not that difficult to build.

In the Chinese civilization, the earliest drainage system was constructed nine thousand years ago.

The Peiligang culture is one of the earliest Neolithic cultures discovered in the Central Plains, and it is also the earliest drainage system in China.

The time between these two periods and the era she is in now should not be particularly far away.

In the ruins of the Peiligang culture, it was found that many houses had connected small ditches. These ditches were extended from high to low according to the terrain, which was the earliest drainage system.

In the later Longshan culture period, ceramic pipes for drainage appeared, and the nozzles of these pipes could be connected together, which was the earliest ceramic pipes.

In the later Shang Dynasty, for the sake of the city's beauty, these drainage systems were turned from the ground to the underground and turned into underground passages.

Then, with the current production capacity of the Phoenix Tribe, it is absolutely possible to build a better sewage system than in the past few periods.

For underground pipelines, Sang Yu did not want to use ceramic pipes. After all, the ceramic pipe is fragile, which brings great inconvenience to the maintenance and repair of the pipeline in the later stage.

She plans to directly use bricks and clay to build a ditch similar to the Fushougou in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Before building the house, Sang Yu led the construction team to inspect the area before starting the design of the underground drainage system.

First of all, the layout of the house is planned. The house is built in such a sequence from the foot of the mountain—the former farmland—to the river bank.

According to this plan, they need to build two wide, deep and wide main pipelines from the foot of the mountain to the river.

When the house is being built, each house can be connected to the main pipeline using pottery pipes.

Drainage is a huge project. But at the same time, it is also a project with the longest time for Pratt & Whitney.

In the future, as more and more houses are built in the new land, these underground pipes will play a huge role. In addition to sewage, they can also prevent floods and so on.

Of course, urban sewage cannot be discharged directly into rivers. Environmental protection needs to start from the bottom.

Two huge round pits can be dug at the drain, and a filter made of charcoal can be added to filter the sewage.

This is a huge project, and it is estimated that the construction team will take two or three years to complete the construction.

There is no rush for this.

Now the construction team has three teams, but after dividing twenty people into the brick and tile team, there are only a hundred people left.

Sang Yu decided to cancel a construction team, leaving only the first and second construction teams.

A team of 80 people led by Yan will work on the planning and construction of the tribe's underground drainage pipes and houses in the future.

Another team of twenty people led by Cao continued to build the fence.

Gao Zesao joined the neighborhood committee, and was quite the second-in-command of the entire tribe's internal affairs. He managed some miscellaneous important tasks of the tribe as a whole, including receiving other tribes' visits, coordinating the tasks of each team, and supervising work.

In this way, Sang Yu can get away directly, without the exhaustion of having to do everything by herself.

Such an arrangement is equivalent to having a preliminary plan for the management structure of the tribe.

Production management can be handed over to Gao, foreign war and defense can be handed over to Yan, and the tribe's foreign trade and diplomacy have not seen suitable people for the time being. Miao has this potential, but it still needs to be cultivated.

After arranging these things, Sang Yu temporarily acted as the hands-off shopkeeper.

She wants to learn to ride a horse.

It is also necessary to let these guards and small captains learn to ride horses.

Among the twelve horses, Sang Yu enjoys the right to be the leader, and he chooses a snow-white horse as a fixed mount, and anyone who needs to ride the rest.

It took a lot of effort for these wild horses to be tamed.

But after all, primitive people have a lot of energy and willpower to work with horses. After a month, they tamed the horses and learned to ride them.

Of course, the fastest to learn is to count feathers.

Sang Yu had to rely on this little girl to teach her.

At first, Yu sat in the front, and Sang Yu hugged her in the back to find out how to ride a horse.

It's just that every time I came down, I found that the girl's ears were bleeding red, and I didn't know why.

But at this time in May, it just entered summer, and Sang Yu thought it was normal to be hot.

When a few people learned how to ride horses, the time to get the goods agreed with the Black Mountain Tribe also arrived.

Sang Yu led five people, Zhuang and Gao, and rode five horses out to pull goods.

Riding on a horse and watching the scenery around you move back quickly, everyone felt that this feeling was really wonderful.

What was supposed to be an eight-day journey by foot took only two days on horseback.

When the people of the Montenegro tribe saw that they came to pick up the goods on time, their hearts were finally relieved.

When I saw them riding tall horses again, the expressions on their faces were full of disbelief. I just felt that this tribe was so powerful that it was terrifying.

Especially when they saw Zhuang's strong body, no one in the Black Mountain Tribe dared to look directly at him.

But this kid is very naive, not aggressive at all, and his cheerfulness is in great contrast to others.

Looking at the salt and tightly packed pottery on their horses, Hei hurriedly asked people to take out the peeled mulberry bark.

The two parties exchanged according to the original agreement. After changing the hemp skin, the group returned by the same way.

Gao Hezhuang and the others looked at the Heishan tribe, as if seeing the former Bird tribe.

Backward, hungry, skinny, and smelly anytime and anywhere, it is very uncomfortable.

"Leader, let's go back quickly, this place is not comfortable at all."

Sang Yu understood, and said with a smile: "It's only now that we realize that our tribe is much better than others."

Several people nodded frantically.

"Boss, what are we going to do with these barks?"

"Make clothes, like the ones I wear, which can keep out the cold, and the animal skins are not breathable, so it's uncomfortable to wear when the weather is hot."

Zhuang immediately remembered the silk dress that he had rewarded Ke earlier, and was extremely envious.

"Really? We'll have clothes to wear then too?"

"Of course, everyone will."

Several people who came with him cheered happily.

"But next time I won't come, this time I will bring you to identify the place, and next time you take turns bringing people over to pick up the goods."

"Okay, leader, you don't need to come next time, we can handle it well."
