"Help me find some things. I know there are many horned beasts that eat grass in Hedong. If you can find the location of these horned beasts, please come back and tell me. Also, if you can get them, I want some horns and tendons. You can also get cowhide.

Another thing is to find some edible plants, the round fruits growing on vines, or large-leafed plants growing on the ground. If you don't have these, the edible roots and stems of plants in the soil will also work.

Bring these things to me. It's best to get them alive, dig them out of the soil, and then put the plants and soil directly in pottery. It would be even better if you can get the seeds on them, but plants usually don't produce seeds until autumn, so they may not be there now." Luo Chong told You Fu what he wanted.

"Those plants are easy to deal with, but those horned beasts can't be brought back even if I find them. It's even more difficult to get their horns and tendons. It seems that I can only find their locations and come back to tell you." You Fu said in embarrassment.

"No, that's not necessarily true. We are not the only tribe that raises wild animals. If you run into a tribe that raises wild animals, you can try to trade with them. Isn't that what your You tribe is good at?" Luo Chong reminded.

"Yeah, that's right, but even if we do have them, what should we trade with? We're afraid that others won't value our things." You Fu continued to ask questions.

"Don't worry about that. When you leave, I will give you a bucket of white salt. Part of it is the reward for your You tribe helping me cultivate the land these days, and the rest is for you to trade with other tribes.

You can take this white salt and never come back, but you will never be able to exchange anything in the Han tribe in the future. And if I find out where you are, I will let our warriors destroy your You tribe. You know how easy that is."

Luo Chong first promised You Fu some benefits, and then before he could be happy, he immediately poured a basin of ice water on him. The stern warning and threat froze the smile on You Fu's face.

"Haha, how could that be? Our You tribe and Han tribe are friends forever. Chief Han, please rest assured. As long as there is this white salt, if I see something good, I will definitely exchange it for you. That, do you have anything else to tell me?" You Fu immediately forced a smile and said calmly.

"Oh, by the way, if you see a green, round and smooth tree with a hollow trunk, tell me the location of that tree and bring me one, I will also reward you. In addition,

if you encounter a tribe that raises wild animals, if you see an animal with long hair on its body, such as the alpacas in our tribe, you can exchange some living ones for me, both male and female, and smaller ones that have not grown up yet." Luo Chong suddenly thought of bamboo and wool fibers, so he gave two more instructions.

"Okay, if I can find them, I will definitely get them for you. Then I will leave first. We will set off when the ox cart is made." You Fu saw Luo Chong finished his instructions, and stood up with the bowl in his hand and said goodbye.

"Yeah." Luo Chong nodded and responded.

The next morning, You Fu took his men to hunt on the east bank of the creek, while Luo Chong went to the carpentry group to see the progress of the oxcart construction.

The main body of the car has been built, and it still uses the structure of four wheels and a steering wheel. Now Mu Tong is leading people to build the parts of the wheel yoke and the wheel bed. It will take another day to assemble. Luo Chong praised them a few words and let them continue to work.

Mutun and the apprentice on the side were still waiting for Luo Chong to teach them how to make a new machine, but there were many things to do today, so Luo Chong did not plan to work as a carpenter for another day.

"We won't make a new machine today. You two should follow the process of yesterday and make an identical spinning machine. If you can't use up all the time, make more bobbins. It's okay to make more bobbins. Just make as many as you have materials. Also, make more stools." Luo Chong arranged for the two of them.

"Yes, chief."

After arranging these, Luo Chong went to see the two apprentices who made ladders. The ten ladders that Luo Chong asked them to make a few days ago had been completed, and the two began to make new ladders.

Luo Chong picked up one and took a look. Although the ladders were made of scraps, they were all made of solid wood, and the riveted sockets were also well made. After all, this was the simplest straight-plug socket.

The ladder was 70 cm wide at the bottom, 50 cm wide at the top, and 7 meters high. There was a horizontal bar every 30 cm, and all the joints were reinforced with fish maw glue, and the quality was excellent.

Luo Chong asked a few tribesmen to move all the ladders to the construction site, ready to use them when they put up the beams and roof of the house today, and then he went to the thatched house area of ​​the settlement alone to see the women and children who had just arrived yesterday. There

were about 500 women, about 300 pregnant women, and more than 700 little boys. Luo Chong checked them one by one. Those with external injuries washed their wounds with warm water first, and then used the external injury medicine exchanged from the Snake Tribe to treat their injuries. Most of them were worn out by walking too much, and some were minor injuries such as abrasions. There were

also women and children with diarrhea and fever, who were isolated for treatment. Each of them was given a few animal skins to cover and sweat, and drink more light salt water. There was no other good way for the time being.

Pregnant women who were too pregnant to move around could stay in the settlement to look after the children. Those who could weave straw shoes and rattan baskets could stay in the settlement to work, and those who were too clumsy could help twist ropes or something; those who were younger could still move around, one was to look after the children, and the other was to help prepare food, or dry animal skins, and help cook simple tasks.

Some of the women who were not pregnant were arranged to join the gathering team, some went to the fishing team, and some helped to fetch water on the construction site. There were even a few girls who had just reached adulthood who helped Xiaodie to shear the alpaca wool and wash the wool.

The wild girls who usually helped to feed the rabbits often surrounded Xiaodie and watched her spin yarn with the magical machine. After

the women were settled, Luo Chong turned around to arrange the soldiers who had just returned yesterday.

The soldiers all had smiles on their faces. They had been out for half a month and had been alone for half a month. They were all newlyweds. They couldn't help but get intimate with their women when they came back last night. Today, they all looked refreshed.

Since they were so happy, Luo Chong didn't hesitate and arranged for them to do hard labor. All 90 adult men were pulled to the center of the city by Luo Chong. Each of them was given a tool, a shovel, a rake, a pottery roller, and a few cows. They all went to repair the square.
