The negotiations with the Yu tribe about the merger of the two tribes went very smoothly, so smoothly that Han Chengdu was a little surprised and caught off guard.
You know, he made a lot of preparations to make this matter go smoothly.
It was just the beginning, and the witch of the Yu tribe nodded in agreement immediately. Such straightforwardness really surprised Han Cheng.
But it also saves trouble, because he doesn't have to use many tricks to deal with this matter later.
However, some incidents occurred during the subsequent negotiations on the specific details of the merger of the two tribes.
Since it is a merger, there will always be personnel movement. If it is still the same as before, with everyone living their own lives and no communication, then it is not called a merger.
Han Cheng and Wu naturally thought that it should be the people of the Yu tribe who came to the main tribe, studied in the main tribe, and received teachings from the main tribe.
Here we can learn labor skills, languages, and build spiritual civilization.
Then some people will be sent back to the place where the Yu tribe originally lived, or arranged to work in other places to continue to contribute to the tribe.
This is a method that has long been mature in the tribe. It has been continuously improved in practice and has been proven to be very effective.
After taking such measures, those ordinary joiners were basically able to integrate into the Qingque tribe.
Not to mention the Yu Tribe, which has a very deep connection with the Qingque Tribe.
The witch of the Yu tribe was somewhat dissatisfied with this.
Because historically speaking, they are the main branch of the tribe.
And they have always regarded themselves as the main branch.
At this point, people from both sides had already decided to merge into one tribe, so it was natural for them to go to where they lived.
But this is what I think in my heart, and this is the actual situation.
If the Qingque tribe was a tribe of similar level to theirs, or even inferior to theirs, then there would be nothing wrong with what they did.
But the problem now is that this former branch has surpassed them by far and has left them far behind.
Especially after the witch of this branch and the Son of God said that after the merger, when they came here, they would be provided with food and accommodation, and could also learn the many skills they had mastered, the witch of the Yu tribe's persistence soon disappeared.
Because the conditions given by the people in this branch can't even be met by the main branch...
For example, the issue of providing meals.
The tribe could barely make ends meet, with some surplus occasionally. In such a situation, if two or three people from the main branch came over, they would be able to support them by making do.
But are there only two or three people in this branch?
I don’t know how much more people they have than our main branch!
Under such circumstances, our own tribe really cannot afford the supply.
It was almost impossible to take out all the stored food and even cook a meal for everyone.
As for where to live...
There is only one cave in my tribe, and if more than ten or twenty people come here, it is not impossible for them to live there if they squeeze together.
But the number of people in this branch is obviously not limited to this.
On the contrary, the caves where they originally lived in the branch were now vacant and no one was willing to live in them anymore.
Everyone lives in those rows of houses.
These things called houses are not cold or damp at all and are extremely comfortable to live in.
Of course, more importantly, the houses they live in are particularly spacious.
Such a big room, but there are only about ten people living in it. It's such a waste!
According to the witch of the Yu tribe, it would not be too much to have twenty people living in such a house at once.
And here’s the surprising thing.
Even though the accommodation is so shabby, there are still quite a few vacant rooms in this branch!
This is really surprising and shocking.
In addition to these, the witch of the Yu tribe also feels helpless when it comes to learning skills.
What skills does your tribe possess?
It's nothing more than gathering, fishing and hunting.
These made the feeling of powerlessness in his heart even stronger.
Because near where this branch lives, there are large patches of edible wild vegetables, as well as fruit trees that are connected together and neatly distributed in different varieties!
Here, you can easily pick a lot of food without having to search all over the mountains.
Such good food resources certainly did not exist at the beginning. The witch of the Yu tribe had already asked the people of the Qingque tribe and learned that these were all cultivated slowly through the methods passed down by the Son of God.
As for the fishing technique, he had already seen it on the way to the Qingque tribe.
That really can't be compared to people from my own tribe sticking sticks here.
As for hunting...
Thinking of this, the witch of the Yu tribe couldn't help but tremble, and many scenes of prey seen in the Qingque tribe emerged in his mind...
The herds of sheep, deer, donkeys, pigs, and large numbers of birds and rabbits shocked him so much that he couldn't sleep well for two nights!
It would take two years of hunting to catch so many preys!
But the people in this branch already have so much!
During the days he was here, he saw with his own eyes that when the people of the Green Bird Tribe wanted to eat meat, they would easily catch some prey and kill them to eat.
It’s so convenient to eat the meat right after it’s been killed!
Of course, the people of the Green Bird Tribe do not always slaughter these prey for a living. More often, they eat their milk and eggs.
The witch of the Yu tribe has tasted these things in the Qingque tribe in the past few days, and they are indeed good things.
Especially the eggs laid by birds, which are really delicious and you can never get tired of eating them.
There are many ways to eat it.
It seems that no matter what kind of food it is, you can see its traces in it.
And there is no doubt that wherever there is trace of it, the food tastes especially delicious...
The witch of the Yu tribe kept comparing the situation at his place and at the branch in his mind. The more he compared, the less confident he became. He felt that it was the right thing to do to let the people of his tribe come to the branch and merge.
Here, the children eat an egg every morning.
However, when faced with such precious and delicious things, some children don't want to eat it anymore. They pout and say they are tired of eating it every day.
This incident had the greatest impact on the witch of the Yu tribe.
In their tribe, they could occasionally get some bird eggs, and everyone in the tribe cherished them very much.
After cooking, they were shared with the children in the tribe. The children were reluctant to eat the tiny bird eggs and just nibbled them carefully bit by bit with their teeth.
A bird egg as big as the tip of a finger, some children still haven’t finished it for half a day!
The children in our own tribe are so rare in eating bird eggs, but here in the branch tribe, many children have already had enough.
Asking him to eat a giant bird egg is as difficult as asking him to eat something poisonous...
Under such circumstances, the witch of the Yu tribe really didn't want to persist stubbornly.
What's the point of persisting?
What other benefits are there other than making the children in the tribe so precious that they would not even want to eat a bird egg?
It’s better not to insist on this!
When the witch of the Yu tribe figured things out and got over the hurdle in his heart, things became simple.
In less than half a day, several people had already finalized all the details of the matter.
The merger of the two tribes and the joining of the people of the Yu tribe to the Qingque tribe have become a foregone conclusion.
The witch of the Yu tribe, like the witch in the Qingque tribe, has extremely high prestige in the tribe.
If he agrees to do this, there will basically be no other twists and turns.
It didn’t seem like a big deal before these things were finalized, but now that they have been finalized, the witch of the Yu tribe suddenly feels that life has become difficult.
He couldn't wait to bring the people from their tribe to the Qingque tribe and let them live the same good life as in the Qingque tribe.
He didn't think much of the life the tribe was living in the past.
But now, after spending some time in the Qingque tribe and seeing how the people of the Qingque tribe live, the witch of the Yu tribe suddenly felt disdainful of the life his own tribe was leading.
I feel that the people in my tribe are now living in dire straits.
He told Han Cheng and Wu Zhidao about his idea.
After knowing his idea, Han Cheng and Wu agreed immediately.
After finalizing this matter, Han Cheng and the others also wanted to bring the people of the Yu tribe to their tribe as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
At the same time, it would be better to make some other arrangements as soon as possible.
The proposal made by the witch of the Yu tribe was exactly what Han Cheng and the witch wanted.
After the two agreed, they immediately began to arrange things.
Although Han Cheng and Wu agreed to the proposal of the Yu tribe witch immediately and began to make preparations, it took another four days before the Blue Bird set sail again and headed downstream along the river.
After all, this matter is related to the migration of a tribe. At the same time, Han Cheng also wants to take advantage of the situation to transport a group of people and a batch of supplies to a place further down the Yu tribe, so that they can bypass Hukou and establish a new settlement below Hukou, where they can carry out production and life, and prepare for the next step of the tribe to build a shipyard there.
There are so many things to do and a lot of things need to be prepared, involving the mobilization and deployment of personnel, as well as the preparation and dispatch of many materials.
Being able to complete so many things within a few days is already very fast.
At least the witch of the Yu tribe, who witnessed all of this, was stunned by the many things that were carried onto the ship, the efficiency of the Qingque tribe members who acted according to Han Cheng's instructions, and the powerful strength and wealth that they unconsciously displayed during this process...
The ship weighed anchor, the wind blew the sailboat, and with the flowing river water, the Bluebird left the shipyard's dock and went downstream.
Behind the big ship, there were three small boats towed.
The boat was loaded with supplies.
The small sailboat in the tribe, which had always been used by the tribesmen for training, was not idle this time either. It also followed along and was used to transport people and carry some supplies.
There is no way. The construction of a new branch tribe requires too many things, and if there are too few means of transportation, it cannot be delivered at all.
The weather in autumn gets cold very quickly.
It had only been a few days since Han Cheng and his companions had returned, but as they sailed downstream, they could clearly feel that the temperature was much cooler than before...
The ship sailed along the way. Since everyone had traveled the route twice before and knew there was no danger, the speed this time was much faster.
It took only six days to reach the Yu tribe.
The big ship stopped here, and the witch and people of the Yu tribe got off the ship.
Han Cheng also brought some people down from the boat, and also brought some food from the boat, and gave it to the people of the Yu tribe who came to greet them.
After talking to the witch of the Yu tribe and the people of the Yu tribe who came to greet them, Han Cheng led his men back to the sailboat, and the entire fleet continued to head east.
As for the purpose, Han Cheng had already told it to the witch and others from the Yu tribe when he was on the boat, and agreed with them that after they came back on the sailboat, they would pick up the people from the Yu tribe and leave.
During this time, the people of the Yu Tribe can pack up, mobilize, and prepare to leave here and go to the Qingque Tribe...
A day later, the sailboat, which had sailed downstream for eighty or ninety miles, stopped again.
Then some people got off the boat and came to the shore in small boats.
The reason why the large ship was not parked directly on the bank of the river was because they were worried that if it was too close to the bank, the water would become shallow and the ship would run aground.
Han Cheng was also among those who disembarked.
After getting off the ship, there was no rush to ask people to move the supplies on the ship downstairs, but instead they kept looking for a suitable location here.
Then everyone dispersed here in groups of three and began to explore the road to the downstream of Hukou Waterfall.
Because the next step is to transport supplies there, a road that is as flat and easy to travel as possible needs to be explored.
Otherwise, the subsequent transportation will be very painful.
The group explored along the way and gradually disappeared from the sight of the people who stayed on the boat...
“Huh~!”
Looking at the roaring waterfall, Han Cheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief...
