The shipyard soon started work, and the six warriors became shipyard workers, working hard to learn to use various new bronze tools, and trying hard to build the first wooden ship.
Perhaps, in the near future, the Vine Tribe will have a group of real ships to help the Vine Tribe develop and grow.
By the river, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao did not go back immediately, they were taking a walk by the river.
Jiang Xuandao: "Sister, I plan to move all the clothing workshops, stoneware workshops, and pottery workshops here."
"Why?"
"Because we have bronze now, these workshops can make a lot more things just using bronze tools."
"But things like bronze cannot be leaked out for the time being. They can only be used in the tribe. After the trading area is opened, there will be many people there, and using bronze tools will be easy to be discovered."
"After moving the workshop here, it will be much safer as it will be blocked by the Feiyu River. These working tribesmen will also live here and it will not be easy for secrets to be leaked."
Chi Shao nodded and said: "This is indeed a good idea, then let's move here."
"Okay, when I get back, I will arrange for people to build more houses here, and then move the workshops here."
After the two of them finished talking, they stopped talking and walked slowly, enjoying this rare leisure time.
As the tribe slowly grew, things became more numerous and complicated. As the most important people in the Teng tribe, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao were busy almost every day and had little leisure time.
The next day, Jiang Xuan arranged for a group of people to build new houses in the second residence. These houses are located near the shipyard and may evolve into an industrial area in the future.
…
To the west of the Vine Tribe, on the high mountains, patches of wax trees have grown lush and green, with very thick leaves.
However, most of these leaves are incomplete, with plump white waxworms lying on them, gnawing enthusiastically.
In the spring of this year, the Vine Tribe transplanted another batch of wax saplings, and after the wax worms from the Blue Sheep Tribe laid eggs, they also brought some of the wax worms over.
Maidong led several vine tribe warriors to take care of these wax trees and wax worms.
Ophiopogon japonicus cleared out the newly grown weeds under a wax tree, then grabbed a plump waxworm from the tree and observed it carefully in the palm of his hand.
"The waxworm has already shed its skin once, and it won't be long before it starts spitting out wax, which is great."
Ophiopogon japonicus carefully placed the waxworm back on the tree, with a pleased smile on its dark face.
He likes wax trees and wax worms, and he also likes to collect piles of wax. He has a talent for growing wax trees and raising wax worms that ordinary people cannot match.
It was precisely because Jiang Xuan knew his talent that he put him in charge of these wax forests.
"Kekeke..."
Suddenly, there was the sound of birds chirping in the distance.
"Damn bird, here comes the wax worm again!"
Maidong ran over there angrily, and the soldiers also looked for bows and arrows to shoot the birds.
After they placed wax worms on the wax tree, a group of birds came at some point. After these birds ate the wax worms once, they got out of hand and came almost every day.
In order to deal with these birds, Maidong and the soldiers tried various methods: setting up bird traps, throwing stones to drive them away, shooting with bows and arrows...
Each method worked well at first and eliminated some of the waxworm-eating birds, but the surviving birds became increasingly smarter and more difficult to deal with.
Ophiopogon japonicus has no choice but to continue to fight with them to protect most of the waxworms...
…
In the trading area of the Teng tribe, Feng Cao took some animal bones to the grain and oil shop in exchange for food.
"Fengcao, why did you exchange so much food? Isn't the food distributed by the tribe enough?"
After Dong Kui estimated the value of the animal bones, she handed a bag of food to Feng Cao and was a little curious about her behavior.
Since the trading area was opened, both people from outside tribes and members of the Vine tribe can trade things here.
In order to allow the tribe to have something for trading.
Jiang Xuan stipulated that except for spring plowing, autumn harvest, war and other emergencies, all tribesmen were allowed to have one day of rest after every ten days of work.
During this day, you can go hunting, fishing, looking for herbs, stones, etc.
Everything you find can be taken to the trading area to trade to get what you want.
As a result, not only the business in the trading area has become booming, but also the diligent tribesmen can live a better life than the lazy people, which greatly stimulates the tribesmen's enthusiasm for work.
Among them, Fengcao's behavior surprised Magnolia because every time she came here, she would exchange for some food.
You know, the Vine tribe distributes much more food than other tribes. Although the food is not good, it is not hungry.
Fengcao picked up the bag full of food and smiled at Magnolia, but without explaining, he walked directly to the outside of the vine wall with the bag.
Dong Kui felt that there must be something weird in this, but the income earned on rest days belongs to herself. This is the rule set by Jiang Xuan. Feng Cao didn't tell her, and Dong Kui couldn't ask in detail.
She walked to the door and watched Feng Cao carrying the food towards the outside of the vine wall, feeling that his behavior was even more suspicious.
Dong Kui thought about it carefully and felt that she should tell Jiang Xuan about this, but she couldn't leave here, so she asked a soldier from the guard team to invite Jiang Xuan over.
Jiang Xuan was arranging the relocation of the clothing workshop at this time. After hearing the news, he thought something happened in the trading area, so after briefly explaining Poria cocos, he followed the soldier to the trading area.
After arriving at the trading area, he walked into the grain shop and found mallow.
"Donggui, come to me in such a hurry, what happened?"
Dong Kui whispered: "Chief, during this period, Feng Cao has changed food here many times. Just now, I saw her taking it outside the tribe. I didn't know what to do."
Jiang Xuan also felt strange: "The food distributed by the tribe every day should be enough. Why does she exchange so much food? And take it outside the tribe."
Dong Kui said: "I also felt strange, so I asked the soldiers of the guard team to invite the leader over."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "You did the right thing. If you encounter similar abnormal situations in the future, you can tell me directly and I will go see what Feng Cao wants to do."
Jiang Xuan left the trading area, came to the vine wall, and found the soldier guarding the door.
"Did you see the wind grass?"
"I saw it. I was just carrying a bag out."
"Where did you go?"
"Go that way."
The soldier guarding the gate points to the forest on the right.
"okay, I get it."
Jiang Xuan nodded and walked over there.
Not long after he walked, he saw many simple wooden houses. Many tourists gathered in this area.
These tourists rely on the Vine Tribe and the trading area, and it is much easier to survive than in other places. Moreover, if they find opportunities to perform meritorious services, or encounter the Vine Tribe to expand their population, they may have the opportunity to become members of the Vine Tribe.
Of course, wherever there are people, there will be competition, not to mention the unconstrained tourists, who work hard for a little profit, which is a common thing here.
Only the strongest travelers can survive, and the weak will soon be eliminated.
When Jiang Xuan came over, many tourists lowered their heads or even hid. They must show enough awe for the leader of the Vine Tribe, a powerful four-color warrior.
Jiang Xuan didn't pay attention and continued walking forward.
Soon, he saw Feng Cao from a distance, watching her carrying a bag and talking to a few tourists next to a larger wooden house.
Jiang Xuan did not go over and stood farther away, but he was a four-color warrior and had eaten a lot of magic mushrooms. His hearing was very sensitive. Even if he stood far away, he could still hear some of their conversations.
"As long as you can get accurate information, I guarantee that you will get more food in the future."
"But it's too dangerous to do this..."
"Since you are afraid of death, I will find someone else."
"Hey... wait a minute, let's do it, let's do it..."
…
Because he arrived late, Jiang Xuan only heard part of the conversation. He still couldn't guess what Feng Cao was going to do.
He saw Feng Cao pouring out the food in the bag after talking to the tourists, and the tourists grabbed it one after another.
Fengcao was a woman rescued by the Teng tribe after they destroyed the Jackal tribe.
She has always respected Jiang Xuan very much, and she worked very hard and was very capable. After joining the garment workshop, she made a lot of contributions.
For example, she was the first to make samples of the animal skin coats with pockets and backpacks made of animal skins that Vine Tribe has already promoted.
But now, she has made such a strange move. What on earth does she want to do?
Jiang Xuan frowned and thought for a moment, and decided to ask Feng Cao face to face, because he felt that Feng Cao did not look like someone who would betray the tribe.
After all, Jiang Xuan still has a certain degree of confidence when it comes to judging people.
On the other side, after Feng Cao poured out the food, he left the place, regardless of how the tourists behind him fought for the food.
As she walked, she rolled up the animal skin bag. This animal skin bag was different from other animal skin bags. First of all, it was relatively shallow. Secondly, there were two straps sewn on both sides of the bag mouth as handles.
This is an original version of an animal skin handbag, something Feng Cao figured out by himself, and is now being mass-produced in clothing workshops.
Jiang Xuan gave this original sample bag to her as a prize, and she has been carrying it with her to hold things.
"Wind grass!"
Just as Feng Cao was walking, he suddenly heard Jiang Xuan's voice and was startled.
She turned around and saw Jiang Xuan standing behind a big tree, looking at her.
"The leader...the leader..."
Feng Cao was a little panicked because she never expected to see Jiang Xuan in this place.
Jiang Xuan said calmly: "Come with me."
"Yes Yes……"
Feng Cao glanced at the tourists around him, then lowered his head slightly and followed Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan walked slowly in front and took her to a place where there were no tourists and stood under a big tree.
Feng Cao stood in front of him with his head lowered, holding the animal skin bag with both hands, feeling a little at a loss.
"Don't be nervous, there's no one else here, just the two of us."
Fengcao Chicken nodded as if pecking at rice, but did not dare to speak.
Jiang Xuan looked at her and said, "Can you tell me, what are you doing with those tourists? I just saw you giving them food."
Jiang Xuan had already heard some of their conversations, and he could tell quickly if Feng Cao was lying.
"Chief, I...I..."
Feng Cao was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Don't be nervous, Feng Cao, relax. As long as you don't betray the tribe, I won't blame you."
Jiang Xuan's voice was gentle, which relieved Feng Cao's nervous and panic mood.
Feng Cao took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to look up at Jiang Xuan, and said, "Chief, I want to use these tourists to help us find out information about the surrounding tribes."
"Using tourists to find out about surrounding tribes?"
Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "You continue."
Feng Cao said: "Last time, we used that tourist to find the location of the Mantis tribe. Later, I kept thinking that maybe we can use these tourists to do more things."
"These tourists all escaped from tribes that were wiped out. They know a lot about the enemies who wiped out their tribes, and they have a lot of hatred."
"So I think, using their hatred and the temptation of food, they will definitely be willing to help us find out some information."
"I know that the leader has always wanted to find out the situation of the surrounding tribes. I...I want to help the leader..."
After Feng Cao finished speaking, he lowered his head again.
After Jiang Xuan heard this, he was shocked by her thoughts.
Talent, this is definitely a talent!
Although her methods are not clever, she grasps the thoughts of those tourists very accurately.
She uses the hatred of tourists and the temptation of food to make them willingly do things for her.
Among tribal people who generally have relatively simple minds, people like Feng Cao are definitely considered talents.
Jiang Xuan's eyes were very complicated. He just looked at Feng Cao without saying a word.
Feng Cao lowered his head, feeling like he had nowhere to put his hands.
After a long time, she finally plucked up the courage, raised her head and asked, "Chief... Chief, did I do something wrong?"
"You did something wrong!"
"Then...then I will..."
Jiang Xuan interrupted her: "That's what you were wrong about. You shouldn't have exchanged your own things for food. Do this!"
Feng Cao looked at Jiang Xuan in astonishment, his mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.
"In the future, don't do such stupid things again. Since you are doing things for the tribe, the tribe should pay for the food, including other things."
Yawenba
I don't know why, Feng Cao was suddenly very moved, her eyes were red, but she didn't cry.
Jiang Xuan added: "Let me ask you, do you like to continue working in the clothing workshop, or do you want to do something else, such as buying off tourists and inquiring about information about other tribes."
Feng Cao was silent for a moment, and then said resolutely: "Chief, I want to help the tribe find out information."
"Don't be so hasty to answer me."
Jiang Xuan walked forward and motioned to Feng Cao to follow him, and Feng Cao followed him silently.
"Working in a garment workshop, with your talent, you will definitely be able to turn it into a bigger garment factory in the future. The most important thing is that the garment workshop is very safe and you can live a stable life."
"But it is very dangerous to bribe tourists and inquire about information from other tribes. You may be discovered by other tribes at any time, or betrayed by others, and then lose your life."
"To be honest, I don't really want you to do this kind of thing. It's too dangerous."
Feng Cao said firmly: "Chief, if it weren't for you and the Teng tribe, I would have died long ago. I am not afraid of danger."
Jiang Xuan stopped, turned around, looked at Feng Cao, and said, "Have you really decided? Once you embark on this path, there will be no turning back. Even the people in the tribe may misunderstand you in the future. I hope You think about it carefully."
"Then...chief, will you believe me?"
"meeting!"
The wind grass suddenly smiled and bloomed like a little flower on the roadside.
"As long as the leader always believes in me, that's enough."
Jiang Xuan's heart trembled. At this moment, his heart seemed to be stabbed by something.
