The temporary tribe's plan to travel and stay in Qingshan City was implemented smoothly. They were very eager to see Qingshan City, and the whole progress was much faster than expected.
The peaceful days in Qingshan City made Meng Yuqing almost forget the great battle that took place in the Huangshi tribe some time ago. He spent the whole winter in extraordinary comfort, except for the lack of mobile phones and computers.
Until the ice and snow began to melt. One night, Xuan suddenly came back with a serious face. Meng Yuqing stopped cooking and walked up to Xuan and said, "What's wrong? You look so bad."
"Some tribes have migrated near us," Xuan said.
"Migrate to our neighborhood? Why are they coming here? Don't the tribes here generally not migrate casually?" Meng Yuqing turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue what he had not finished before.
Xuan followed him into the kitchen and helped while saying, "That's the reason we were worried about before. During our ambush on the Yellowstone Tribe, we let many of those who wanted to escape go in order to ensure the safety of the orcs. They are really causing chaos."
Meng Yuqing paused and asked, "So what's the situation?"
"They didn't go too far, but some smaller tribes did suffer. Luckily, we previously announced the salt production method and would clear out the annual stock at the market. They had a harder time, but they found relief points with familiar tribes and managed to get through it."
At this point, Xuan sighed and whispered, "It's really a bit restless."
"What are you going to do?" Meng Yuqing asked.
"We're still discussing it." Xuan rubbed his face, but forgot that he was just fiddling with chili peppers. Now his whole face was burning. He immediately ran to the water tank, filled a basin with water, and then buried his face in it.
Seeing this, Meng Yuqing hurried over. After Xuan lifted his head out of the water, he held Xuan's face and looked around.
"It's okay." Xuan rubbed his hand and continued the previous topic, "It's just outside our hunting area. The distance from Qingshan City is about the same as when we went to the Mountain Stream Tribe before."
"Do you think this is a good thing?" Meng Yuqing asked. He saw that Xuan looked a little distressed, and he didn't quite understand why this happened.
The fact that some tribes migrated near them proved that they recognized them. In the hearts of these tribes, the existence of Qingshan City represented stability and security.
It also proves that Qingshan City has officially become the top leader in the south.
"It's a good thing, but there are some problems that need to be solved." Xuan moved a chair and sat down, then pulled Meng Yuqing onto his lap and hugged her.
He continued to explain, "As for the hunting area, there are quite a few people in Qingshan City, and they're now preparing to collect temporary tribes. By then, the hunting area will definitely have to expand. That's why we can gather together as a tribe, but tribes can't be grouped together to form a tribal group."
"The more people gather together, the larger the hunting area will be. However, within a designated hunting area, there can only be one tribe. You can't have two bosses in one place."
Hearing Xuan say this, Meng Yuqing suddenly realized that this was just the same as the territory of the animal enclosure.
He rested his chin on Xuan's shoulder and said, "So now either keep them away or take them in?"
"Yes, everyone is thinking about how to solve this problem now," Xuan said as he stirred Meng Yuqing's clothes. "And if those guys are not completely driven away, I estimate that many tribes will continue to migrate here this year."
At this point, Xuan became a little irritated, "As expected, we still have to drive all those guys away."
"No rush." Meng Yuqing patted Xuan's back to soothe the fur-ruffled cat. "The most important thing for us now is to expand the hunting area, at least double it."
Xuan was stunned and asked, "The area is so large, we can't manage it so far now, so there is no point in them migrating here."
"Listen to me." Meng Yuqing took out a pen and paper from the space, drew a square on it, and then drew a big circle to enclose the square.
He pointed to the map on the paper and said, "Consider this square as Qingshan City, and this circle as the boundaries of our current hunting area."
Xuan nodded and asked with his eyes, what next?
Meng Yuqing drew a larger circle outside the circle and said, "This is the expanded area. Regardless of whether we can get it or not, these places are nominally ours. Whether we use them or not is another matter."
"The land has been enclosed, but it's not used?" Xuan said this slowly, as if he had some ideas, but they were not quite clear.
"Right." Meng Yuqing pointed to the area between the two circles and said, "If they come, let them stay here, but... we have to let them know that this is our hunting ground, and we're lending it to them for temporary refuge."
Xuan's gaze followed Meng Yuqing's fingers and fell on the paper. His originally confused eyes gradually became clear. He kissed Meng Yuqing fiercely and said, "I know what to do. We have no right to control where they settle on unowned land. But for land with an owner, we must obey the owner, even if it's just in name only."
As he spoke, he picked up Meng Yuqing and spun her around twice, saying, "Yuqing, you are so smart. If you live in our territory, you will become one of us sooner or later!"
Meng Yuqing hugged Xuan's neck tightly until his head was almost dizzy. He quickly shouted, "Stop spinning, I'm going to feel dizzy."
Xuan stopped and sat back on the stool, holding Meng Yuqing tightly.
Meng Yuqing took a moment to calm down, not feeling dizzy anymore before continuing, "Actually, you're already doing this, you just don't realize it. I'm just sharing this method with you."
"You mean the temporary tribe?" Xuan asked.
Meng Yuqing nodded and said, "Isn't the temporary tribe located within our hunting grounds? Even though it's a very marginal place, we've given them a place to stay, so we've always had control. However, the prerequisite for using this method is that we have to be strong enough."
