Chapter 183 The reason why I can't take you away (please vote and subscribe)

"You are back now. How about I make you roast chicken tonight? I brought some chili peppers." Luo Chong said to Xiaodie with a smile, without mentioning the tribe's pottery making.

"Luo Chong, do you know about it?" Xiaodie walked up to Luo Chong, took Luo Chong's hand and asked.

"Know? What do you know?"

"It's about Am asking people to make pottery. You won't be angry, right?"

"Oh, what's there to be angry about? Mud is everywhere. If you want to make it, just make it. Besides, since they came up with it themselves, I won't stop them.

I saw their method of making pottery, and it turned out very bad. I wanted to teach you our method of making pottery when we had dinner." Luo Chong said in a generous manner.

"Really? You are not angry at all?" Xiaodie said doubtfully.

"Really, why should I be angry? It's just a pottery, is it that serious?"

"Then can you also tell me how to make a loom, Am?" Xiaodie asked tentatively.

"Haven't you said it yourself? The problem is that even if your mother knows what a loom looks like, they can't make it, right?" Luo Chong spread his hands indifferently.

"Why?"

"The Bian tribe has no tools. Even if they put a loom here for them to see, what can they use to make it? That thing is too complicated." Luo Chong explained.

"Oh, forget it then." Xiaodie pouted unhappily.

"Actually, there is a way. I can promise to give some of those machines to the Bian tribe." Luo Chong paused and said slowly.

"What is the way?" Xiaodie's eyes lit up when she heard it. "

Don't be so anxious, let's talk about it when we eat."

Just like that, dinner began. Around a bonfire in the middle of the residence, Xiaodie, Shang, Luo Chong, the male leader of the Bian tribe's hunting team, and an elder of the Bian tribe, who was an elderly woman, were gathered around a bonfire in the middle of the residence.

Everyone in the circle was cooking. Shang and Xiaodie were cooking soup in a clay pot. Luo Chong was roasting the pheasant he had shot today, putting the seasonings on it while talking to Shang and Xiaodie.

"I can teach the Bian tribe to make better pottery, provide them with weaving machines, and even supply them with unlimited white salt, but the Bian tribe must join the Han tribe, what do you think?" Luo Chong said as he flipped the roasted chicken.

"Ah? Is this the solution you're talking about?" Xiao Die looked at Luo Chong with her mouth wide open in surprise.

"Yes, isn't that good? Don't you want to be with Am? Then let the Bian tribe join the Han tribe as a whole. Then we can all live together and you won't have to separate.

And the Bian tribe can also have the same good things as the Han tribe, solid houses, convenient tools, sharp weapons, delicious rice, and in the future we can all wear clothes made of linen and woolen cloth.

You know how fast our looms can weave cloth, but we don't have that much hemp fields right now, so we don't have that much material for weaving cloth for the time being." Luo Chong tempted her with various benefits.

Xiaodie was moved by what Luo Chong said. She really wanted to live with Am forever, and the method Luo Chong said was very much to her liking.

At that moment, Xiaodie immediately translated Luo Chong's words to several high-level officials of the Bian tribe next to her.

The middle-aged Shang, the older elders, and the young hunting captain had different expressions after listening to Xiaodie's retelling. Some were surprised, some were worried, and some were secretly happy.

The young hunting captain was secretly happy. He had seen the cavalry of the Han tribe, and had seen the bows and bronze spears of the Han tribe. Those were all what he wanted. If he joined the Han tribe, he could get all these things.

The surprised and worried ones were the female elders and leader Shang of the Bian tribe. They didn't expect Luo Chong to make such an "invitation". On the surface, joining the Han tribe would indeed bring many benefits, but it also meant that the Bian tribe would soon disappear. Moreover,

it was not easy for the Bian tribe to join the Han tribe. The Han tribe was In a patriarchal tribe, women are all dependent on men, while in the Bian tribe, women are the most important. With different ideas and concepts, it is not easy to integrate.

However, it is not particularly difficult. Although the Han tribe is patriarchal, it does not discriminate against women, nor does it belittle the status of women. In the Han tribe, women and men have similar status. Both men and women can fight as warriors, cultivate the land together, and build houses together. In the future, there will even be universal education, and Luo Chong does not plan to make any rules that prohibit girls from studying.

There was a moment of silence, with only the crackling sound of firewood, the gurgling sound of hot soup boiling in the clay pot, and Xiaodie's persuasion to Shang and the elders.

After all, Shang and the elders Bian have to make the decision on this matter. Joining the Han tribe is too big a matter, and they cannot make a decision for a while.

Shang opened her mouth and said with some embarrassment: "Chief Han, this matter is too big and a bit sudden. Can we give you an answer tomorrow? "

Of course, I'm not in a hurry, and you don't have to answer in a hurry. You can think about it carefully first. Even if you agree to join the Han tribe immediately, I can't take you all over in a short time, at least not before winter." Luo Chong shrugged and said.

Xiaodie was stunned after hearing this, and then asked: "Why? Can't we move over immediately after joining the Han tribe?"

"Yes, it's not possible in a short time. We have no place to settle down. Most of the laborers in the tribe are now building houses. Even if we move over, we can only live in thatched houses under the current situation. Of course, living in thatched houses is nothing. The most important thing is that we don't have that much food.

Now the main source of food for the tribe is fishing and hunting. The wild vegetables collected are basically not considered food. That thing is not enough to fill you up, but the small river in front of our tribe can only catch a limited amount of fish every day.

How much prey the hunting team can catch in the hunting ground depends on luck. We are now equipped with bows and bronze spears. Basically, as long as we encounter prey, we will definitely be able to bring it back. If this continues for a long time, there will be fewer and fewer animals in the hunting ground, and it will be difficult for us to eat animal meat.

There is no output in the breeding aspect for the time being. Alpacas are used for shearing. It is not cost-effective to kill them for meat. Alpacas give birth too slowly. They only give birth once a year, and each time they give birth to one baby. Cows and horned deer cannot be eaten. They are used to help with work. As long as there is a bite to eat, don't think of taking them.

The only thing left is rabbits. Now they have bred for several generations, but the total number is just over a thousand. It is not time to slaughter them yet. Even if we slaughter all the rabbits in the tribe now, it will be enough for us to eat for a few days.

Only if the rice we planted has a good harvest, and we expand the planting area in the next season, if we have another good harvest in autumn, our place will be able to feed so many people. In fact, our largest source of food is the rice, but it is not yet mature. What's

more, there are more than 2,000 acres of hemp fields in the tribe. We can't just abandon them. So much hemp fiber is enough for us to weave so much cloth."
