The bazooka quickly found a place to land. It finally stood on the main beam of a house that had not yet been roofed, and then twisted its neck to comb its feathers.
Luo Chong and his group also crossed the small bridge. Eagle leader Rui was looking around, watching what the Han tribe members were doing, but he was also in a state of shock. There were too many people in the Han tribe, and many of them were working in the tribe.
Qubing also rode Benben over. The little rhino looked stronger, and the horns on its nose had grown longer.
Behind Benben were several half-grown gray wolves, panting with their tongues hanging out. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and their wolf hair fell off in pieces. They stood in a small group and growled at the new Eagle leader, and then were kicked away by several children.
"Chief, have you found a new mine? Is it the same as our original copper mine?" Qubing looked up and asked Luo Chong.
"It's different. This time we found iron ore, something more powerful than copper. Iron is much stronger and harder than copper." Luo Chong rubbed the bun on Qubing's head and said.
"Really? It's more powerful than copper. Did the chief bring it back?"
"Yes, he brought back a few stones. Here, take them and play with them."
Luo Chong took out two small magnets from a bag and gave them to Qubing. Then the little guy ran away happily.
When the chief returned, the tribe's high-ranking officials came to greet him one after another, also to report the situation.
After a while, Dashu, the elder, the rat witch, Shuda, Xuetu, and Shouya all came over. Xiaodie also came to see Luo Chong. Seeing that he was not injured and had things to do, she took Rourou and Huishan back first. At this meeting, Dali and Eagle Chief Rui also made an exception and attended.
"Chief."
"Chief."
"Well, what have you been up to these days? You can all tell us first. We'll talk about the new mine later."
"Well, then I'll talk first, Chief. The first season of rice planted by our tribe has all been dried and bagged, but I haven't let the tribesmen eat it yet, and we haven't started planting yet. We don't know how much to plant." The elder spoke first.
"But we have asked the tribesmen to plow the rice fields that have just been harvested, and we can plant the second season of rice at any time. Now the tribesmen are reclaiming lacquer fields in the grassland west of the city. They have reclaimed more than ten acres of land. I don't know if it's enough." The Rat Witch also added.
"Well, farming should be put first, and everything else can be put later. After we finish talking about things later, you two elders should arrange for the tribesmen to soak the rice seeds. Seventeen times as much as we did last time will be enough. Soak the rice seeds in a bucket of water, remove the ones that float on the top, and put them in the shade of the wall. Don't expose them to the sun, otherwise the water will be scalded." Luo Chong made arrangements immediately.
"Yes, we remembered it." The two old men responded in unison.
"Chief, we didn't encounter any danger on the way back. The prisoners escaped a few times, but we caught them all. The method you taught us was really effective. They couldn't run fast even with their arms tied. When we came back, there was no one missing in the team, and the injured soldiers were already recovering.
I arranged soldiers to take turns to guard the prisoners, and they were still given a bowl of water every day and fed once every three days. Now they are too hungry to resist, so they just did whatever they were told to do." Shu Da also reported the situation on his side.
"Well, you did a good job. You can continue to guard the prisoners for the time being, and assign them work in a few days." Luo Chong first praised Shu Da, and then made arrangements.
"Yes, Chief, I understand." Shu Da nodded.
"I'm fine here. After receiving the notice from the chief, I took the mining team back by a detour. We didn't encounter any enemy attacks on the way. We also brought back two carts of copper ore and one cart of pyrite. However, something happened in the tribe and the chief had to make a decision." Dashu also began to report his situation.
"Oh? What happened?" Luo Chong asked in confusion.
"There are mainly three things. The day I came back, I happened to meet the Li tribe coming to trade tung trees with us. The Li chief saw that all the men in our tribe were out and the chief was not there, so he told the elders and the rat witch that he wanted to exchange our copperware this time.
The elders and the rat witch didn't agree, so the guy threatened to burn down their tung trees so that we could no longer get tung seeds. He threatened us to exchange copperware with this, which made the elders and the rat witch very angry.
Then I came back and saw him, and I killed him at that time. I also detained all the tribesmen he brought with him, and now they are all under the guard of the warriors. Later, the Li tribe sent ten people to look for people, and I also detained them.
Next, please let the leader decide whether to fight them. "Da Shu first talked about the Li tribe.
"Oh? There is such a thing. Do you really think that there is no one in our Han tribe? You dare to come to our door to cause trouble when I am not here. You did the right thing. Since they dare to bully us, we have to fight back. The Han tribe can't bear this breath.
So, tomorrow, let the rat lead the team and bring 200 warriors to surround the Li tribe for me, and force them to surrender and join the Han tribe. If they don't agree, they will be killed, but try not to kill anyone.
Also, bring those people bought from the Li Tribe last year and persuade them to surrender. If they still refuse, don't say I didn't give them a chance to live.
Shu Da, you should do this yourself. You used to be in contact with them in the Black Rat Tribe and are more familiar with them. You also know where their tribe lives. Remember, try to make them surrender and bring more people back. " Luo Chong was furious when he heard this, and immediately began to arrange Shu Da to conquer the Li Tribe.
"Yes, chief, I will arrange the soldiers in a while." Shu Da nodded and accepted the order.
"Well, is there anything else?" Luo Chong asked Da Shu again.
"Oh, there is another good thing. Yesterday, the You Tribe came back from the east. They found a tribe that can raise animals, and exchanged the white salt and pottery we gave them for dozens of small animals.
I saw it yesterday. It was a black and white spotted pig. It can't be used for work. It is raised for meat. The hair on its body is also short. The animal skin can't be made into clothes, but it can be used to make leather shoes.
There are 50 small animals and six adult pigs, four of which are pregnant.
Youfu also exchanged ten girls from the other tribe for pig farming. I have temporarily put the pigs in the pen. The chief will decide how to raise them when they come back.
By the way, Youfu also brought back two kinds of plants. One is a vine with big flowers, planted in a pottery pot. It is said that it is a favorite of the pigs. There is also a spherical plant with big leaves. However, Youfu said that they fed all the plants they brought to the pigs on the way, and now only some seeds are left. "Dashu continued to report the situation.
"Are you serious? This is really good news. I will go to see the pigs in person later. By the way, where are Youfu and the others? Have they left? Did you give them some more white salt and pottery? I have to thank them this time. "Luo Chong said immediately in surprise.
"That guy hasn't left yet, but he took people to hunt on the east bank of the river early in the morning. He is expected to come back in the evening. The women and children of their tribe are still here. The elders arranged for them to go to open up the lacquer fields together.
As for the remuneration and rewards, I haven't given them yet. That guy Youfu doesn't want white salt and pottery anymore. He said he wants our houses this time. I can't agree to him, so I have to wait for the chief to come back and decide."
"Want our houses? How can we take houses? It's impossible to move these things away." Luo Chong said in surprise.
"No, he said he wanted some houses so that his people can spend the winter here with us." Dashu explained.
"You mean, they want to join our Han tribe?" Luo Chong analyzed.
"No, that guy said he didn't want to join our tribe. He didn't want to stay in the tribe to work all the time. He wanted houses just to find a safe place to spend the winter, so I didn't agree to him directly. Chief, what do you think we should do?"
"Is that so? That's troublesome. If they don't join the Han tribe, I won't let them live here. I'd better discuss this with that guy tonight. "Luo Chong concluded.
