Han Cheng had high hopes for meteorite iron. After all, before the tribe could produce high-quality steel, it would be impossible to get better quality materials than this to make tools.
Tools carefully made from meteorite will definitely be superior to bronze tools in many aspects.
Since this is the case, Han Cheng will naturally not let go of such a good thing easily.
Since these tribes are able to possess so many meteorite weapons, there may be more meteorites near the tribes.
It is necessary to send someone to look for it.
What's more, in addition to searching for meteorite iron, Han Cheng also wants people to bring back the remaining population there.
Bringing those people back is not only beneficial to the Qingque tribe itself, but it is also a good thing for those who are brought back.
This is not because Han Cheng is shameless. He is just trying to flatter himself and whitewash what is going to happen.
It is because, after losing so many strong adult population, it is really difficult for the remaining people to live a stable life. It is okay in normal seasons, but once winter comes, it will be a real disaster.
Especially after Han Cheng learned that those people who came to attack his tribe and were captured were not from one tribe, but were composed of people from many tribes, he became more convinced of this.
If he had not sent people to bring the remaining people to his own tribe before the heavy snow fell, it would have been very good if 20% of these people could survive.
And with the construction of Jinguan City, the second branch of Qingque tribe, the Qingque tribe also needs a lot of manpower.
After Jinguan City was built, people would definitely migrate there and live there.
After all, it is not enough to have just a built courtyard. There needs to be people living there and running it for a long time before it can be called a second branch tribe.
When it comes to immigration there, of course we cannot just move the strong people over there, we also need to move some older minors and some people who are not in good health.
You can let them do things that they are capable of doing without the need for strong people to take action.
As a result, the main tribe will have fewer available manpower, and the production and life of the main tribe will be affected.
As long as those people are brought into their own tribe, this vacancy will be filled.
Of course, when the time comes to migrate to Jinguan City, it will definitely be mainly the elders in the tribe who will do the heavy lifting.
Because these people have lived in the Qingque main tribe for a long time, each of them has been completely assimilated and has a high sense of identity with the Qingque tribe.
By separating them from the main tribe and migrating them, they will not forget the main tribe after a period of time.
As for those new people who have arrived in their tribe, naturally a large number of them will stay in the main tribe, continue to be assimilated by the melting pot of the main tribe, and then slowly become a true member of the Qingque tribe.
Holding his daughter and leading his wife, Han Cheng walked slowly on the ridges of the fields around the tribe. At this time, he looked very much like a wealthy landlord inspecting his own fields.
Don’t even mention that feeling of satisfaction.
Especially when he met Little Pea and others who were catching grasshoppers, Han Cheng put Xiao Xing'er aside and joined them. He quickly caught a few big grasshoppers, which attracted cheers and admiring looks from Little Pea and others. Han Cheng felt even more satisfied...
As night fell, the Qingque tribe, after a busy day, returned to silence.
The slave courtyard between the outer wall and the inner wall was also in complete silence at this moment. Apart from the sounds of grinding teeth, farting and snoring, there was no other sound in the room.
After a day's work, everyone was exhausted. Soon after they lay down, they all fell asleep.
However, the people who were sleeping did not include the leader of the Grass Tribe.
At this time, the leader of the Grass Tribe was lying on the kang, with his eyes open in the dark, but he was not asleep.
This was not because she couldn't sleep because of the noise around her, but because she was thinking about something.
After arriving at the Qingque main tribe, the leader of the Cao tribe planned to gain a status in the Qingque tribe by relying on the fish cage, a fishing artifact, and then learn the magical skills of the Qingque tribe. After learning all these skills, he would find time to find an opportunity to take the people in the tribe away and return to his original tribal life.
But after seeing the better fish cages of the Green Bird Tribe, her idea of using fish cages to improve her status was completely shattered.
The current leader of the Grass Tribe and the other people in her tribe have no different status in the Green Bird Tribe.
This was not the reason why she couldn't sleep at night. The real reason why she couldn't sleep was that she found that she seemed unable to leave the tribe.
After arriving at this tribe, she and the people in her tribe were separated and grouped one-on-one with the elders of this tribe.
Although I see people in the tribe every day, I rarely say a word to them throughout the day.
Moreover, the people of this tribe do not allow them to speak the old language anymore. If anyone is found speaking the old language, those who are grouped with her will punish her without hesitation, without anyone else having to do anything.
All conversations could only be conducted in the complex language of the Green Bird tribe, which they were currently learning.
The leader of the Grass Tribe felt a little worried about this situation, but what worried her more were the changes that occurred in the people in their tribe.
When we first came to this tribe, everyone in the tribe was very excited when they saw each other.
Although there are few opportunities for communication between each other, people in the tribe will unconsciously look for each other when working or resting.
After seeing her figure, they would feel at ease, and she could also feel that these people in the tribe really wanted to be by her side, just like when she was in the tribe before.
But as the time spent living in the Green Bird Tribe gradually increased, the leader of the Grass Tribe suddenly discovered that the people in the tribe had changed since he did not know when.
They no longer search for themselves as often as before, and they no longer feel anxious when they cannot see themselves or their fellow tribesmen.
He could even chat and laugh with the elders of the Qingque tribe, and it seemed that his relationship with those elders was better than that with the people of his original tribe.
Such things frightened the leader of the Grass Tribe.
After discovering this, she has been working hard to make changes.
She tried to find as many opportunities as possible to walk in front of the people in her tribe, and if she had the chance, she would communicate with them in the language of the Qingque tribe.
But the effect was not good. As time went by, the things that frightened her continued to happen.
So much so that even now, even if he meets people from his own tribe, they will no longer be as excited as before.
Treating yourself is almost no different than treating other people.
Even further away, they are not as close as those who are grouped with them one-on-one.
The leader of the Grass Tribe used to think that as long as she learned certain magical methods and found the right opportunity, she could take her people away, but now, she no longer dares to think so.
She even felt that as long as she told these things to the people of her own tribe, the people of her original tribe would be able to arrest her and tell them what she was planning without them finding out.
Although she had been terrified when she was captured here by the people of the Green Bird Tribe, she had never been desperate. But now, a deep feeling of powerlessness had completely enveloped her.
Because even if I learn many magical skills, what does it matter? Even if I find a chance to leave, what does it matter?
Without the support of the tribe members, it would be impossible for me to go so far and return to my tribe by myself...
What kind of tribe is this!
Why did such a big change happen to the people in my tribe after living here for a period of time?
The leader of the Grass Tribe didn't quite understand, but it was precisely because of this that she felt more entangled and fearful...
It was unknown how long it took before the leader of the Grass Tribe finally fell asleep.
But she did not sleep peacefully. Not long after, she woke up in a sweat.
In her dream, she dreamed that she had finally found the right opportunity, and she happily went to find these people from her tribe, wanting them to follow her to leave the Qingque tribe and return to where she and others originally lived.
As a result, just after he finished saying these words to everyone in the tribe, these people who were once in the same tribe as him pressed him to the ground and dug his head off with a hoe. Even though he struggled desperately and shouted that he was the leader, it was of no use.
The leader of the Grass Tribe wiped the sweat from his head, reached out to touch his neck, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
I feel so good to be alive...
天色转亮，新的一天重新到来，青雀部落的众人继续劳动，进行着看起来与往日极为相似的事情。
青雀部落的内院之中，那个老早之前为了用铁细菌弄出来一些铁器使用而建造的炉子里面，已经烧起了火。
长时间的放置不用，就算是一直在上面盖了一个石板也一样不成，炉子一样有些损坏了。
不过在昨天的时候，就已经被二师兄还有黑娃两个给修补好了。
此时，在熊熊燃烧的炉火的炙烤下，那些被新填补上的泥巴早已经失去了水分，变干了。
“哧哧~哧哧~”
韩成一开始制造的简易风咕噜被黑娃上下的按动着，飞快的旋转起来，把一股股的空气送入到打铁炉子之中。
每一股空气进入之后，都会使得炉子里面的火往上窜起一些。
在这里按风咕噜的是黑娃。
虽然已经是四个孩子的爹了，但是黑娃对于和制造陶器相关或者是相类似的事情，还是有着极高的热情。
这许多年的历练下来之后，黑娃不仅仅在制作陶器、制造模子这些上面有着极高的技艺，与之相关的烧窑、烧炉子这些也非常的在行。
所以在得知了二师兄想要做些什么之后，他就非常自觉的过来烧炉子了。
炉子里面烧着的木炭，也是二师兄精挑细选出来的好木炭，相会之间碰撞，会发出很清脆的声响的那种。
在很早以前用铁细菌弄出来的铁珠子打制铁制工具的时候，二师兄通过韩成就知道了，这样的木炭烧起来更热。
此时，在熊熊燃烧着的炉子上面，放置了两块黑不溜秋的陨铁，正在接受着烈火的焚烧。
赶过来看热闹韩成、以及拎着一柄不小的青铜锤子的二师兄，都在等待着陨铁变红。
此时的二师兄这个时候看起来精神格外的抖擞。
为了今天的打铁，昨天晚上他的那三个配偶，他连一个都没有碰，就是为了卯足劲，做这件事情……
在青雀部落之内，正在进行着这些事情的时候，距离主部落一百二十里的龙门客栈这里，一行五个人将龙门客栈的门拴上，然后牵着驴子，沿着青铜高速往西面走去。
这一行人，是昨天早上的时候，从青雀主部落出发，前往铜山居住区告诉铜山居住区的人们，韩成他们平安归来，并且还找到了南方，以及水稻与甜黍杆的青雀主部落信使。
铜山居住区的人是知道韩成他们南下寻找适合部落居住地方的事情的。
如今，他们平安归来，并且还带回来了其余的好消息，自然是要将这样的消息往铜山居住区那里传送，也好让铜山居住区的人早些放心，并跟着一起高兴高兴……
“哐咚！哐咚！”
青雀部落之内，经过了好一阵儿的烈火焚烧之后，那两块被放到炉子里面的陨铁终于变红了。
二师兄就用青铜钎子夹出来了一块，放到用青铜铸造的一大块垫子上面，然后让另外一个人接过青铜钳子，夹着陨铁进行固定，而他则抡起锤子对着烧红的陨铁就是狠狠的一锤子砸下。
陨铁这种东西，凭借着部落里现在的炉火，想要将之融化根本就不可能，不过将之烧红，变软一些还是能够做到的。
毕竟融化与烧红之间，有着极其大的差距。
二师兄一锤子下去之后，那块陨铁上面有一些地方被砸平了一些，不过青铜锤上面，也被硌出了一些印记。
这样的事情，是二师兄所没有想到的。
拎着被硌出印记的青铜锤子，吸了几口凉气之后，二师兄很快就变得兴奋起来。
因为这陨铁这样硬，比青铜都要硬，打造出来的工具一定和神子说的一样，比青铜工具都要好用。
于是便拎起锤子又是几下砸下去。
等到砸不动之后，就将之放回炉子之中继续焚烧加热。
而将这块陨铁放回去之后，韩成等人才发现，下面垫着的青铜方锭上面，也被硌出来了不少的坑洼。
“先打制一个锤子出来吧。”
韩成对二师兄说道。
一开始的时候，他们是准备用这块陨铁打造出来一柄斧头的，但是，在看了青铜锤与下面的青铜锭的凄惨模样之后，韩成只能是改变主意。
对于韩成的这一提议，二师兄非常的赞同，他同样发现，如果不先打制出来一个陨铁锤子，想要依靠部落里的青铜锤子，对这些陨铁一一进行加工，实在是太过于困难了些。
在把这块陨铁放入炉子里面继续焚烧之后，二师兄又找来了一块个头不小、且表面比较平坦的陨铁，放到青铜锭上面，充当垫子。
有了这块陨铁垫子打底之后，再对烧红的陨铁进行捶打的时候，速度就快了一些。
韩成在这里又看了一会儿，见到可以通过炉火加热，然后捶打的方式对这些陨铁进行加工之后，便离开了这里。
他最担心的是陨铁这种东西太过于坚硬，用这样的方式奈何不了它。
现在，既然确定可以用这样的方式进行加工，那这里也就没有他太多的事情了，二师兄他们自会慢慢的将他所想要用陨铁打制的东西给敲打出来。
而他，在离开了打铁的地方之后，则去寻巫还有大师兄去了。
遣人北上，去将这些部落剩余的人都给接到部落，并顺便让人到那里寻找一下陨铁的事情，需要给他们两个说一下，然后安排人手去做这件事情。
韩成的想法就是尽快的安排人手去做这件事情，将这件事情做成之后，他好再次带人南下去营造锦官城。
两件事情同时进行也不是不可以，但韩成担心北上的人花费的时间会太长，等到秋收的时候还赶不回来，这样的话，势必会影响部落里的秋收，一些粮食甚至于会因此而收不回来。
等到北上的人过来之后，他再带着另外一批人南下，则可以将此事避免。
因为，倘若北上的人在秋收的时候没能过来，他们这些人则可以在部落进行秋收。
巫手里也拎着一个锄头在锄地，不过他的锄地跟部落里的那些劳动力锄地不同，部落里的劳动力锄地，是很当事的在做，巫锄地的时候，则是在这块地里来上两下，然后再转悠到另外一块地里面来上两下。
说是锄地，其实最多的还是在周围转悠着看地里的庄稼。
不过这样才好，真要是认认真真的去锄地，韩成还真不会让他去锄，真将他累出来一个好歹可就划不来了。
大师兄同样也在锄地，看起来干劲十足的那种。
韩成来到锄了几下子地之后，就坐在田埂边上的巫身边，也坐了下来，和巫一起面对着这片长满一行行谷子的田地，然后朝着大师兄所在的地方喊了一嗓子。
大师兄所在的田地距离这边有些远，韩成的这一嗓子传不过去。
不过并不用担心，在田间劳作着的其余人，在听到韩成的招呼之后很是自觉的进行的充当了传声筒，一声接一声的声音传出，不过是片刻的功夫，在那边劳作的大师兄就知道得知了神子召唤他的事情，便扛起锄头，朝着韩成所在的位置过来了。
大师兄没有过来之前，韩成坐在地头跟巫谈论了一些地里庄稼的长势，并跟往年这个时候的庄稼进行了对比。
等到大师兄过来之后，才开始给两人说派人北上的事情。
对于韩成提出来的这些，巫、大师兄两个人自然不会有什么异议。
巫在听说了这一趟下来如果顺利的话，将会得到至少上百的人口以及一些比青铜更为优良的陨铁之后，更是笑的老脸开了花。
大师兄更是干脆，表示他愿意带着人北上去做这件事情。
现在，神子归来了，部落巫也还在，有他们两个人在，大师兄可以很放心的带领着人出去。
韩成想了想便同意了，大师兄做事情素来稳重，这一趟远行，由他带队韩成还是很放心的。
不过为了保险起见，不至于让大师兄他们会在外面迷失，韩成想了想，还是做出了让贸这个活地图一般的存在跟着大师兄他们出去的决定。
这样就算是他们走错了路，有贸在，也能重新安全的原路返回。
不过贸就要辛苦了，刚刚经历了一趟远行归来，就要再次出发。
这次贸跟着大师兄他们出去了，一定要给他专门配备一只驴子来骑。
贸这样的人，绝对是一个不可多得的人才，在这个基本没有道路的时代，离开部落远行的时候，那简直就是保命符一般的存在，可真的不能将他给累坏了。
做出来了让贸跟着大师兄他们一起远行的决定之后，韩成立刻就又做出了这样提高贸待遇的决定。
对于韩成这样的决定，巫还有大师兄没有什么异议，毕竟贸的辛苦与重要作用，他们两个人也都是知道的，韩成这次专门给他配备一匹驴子来骑，是情理之中的事情。
However, the eldest brother and Wu agreed, but some people disagreed and thought that trade should not be equipped with a donkey.
The one who dared to question the decision made jointly by the three giants of the Qingque tribe was none other than Mao himself.
He was the only one who dared to refuse at this time.
"It's okay. The tribe already has more than 30 donkeys. Now is not the busy farming season, and the tribe doesn't need donkeys. You must ride this time, otherwise it will be too tiring."
Han Cheng smiled and patted Mao on the shoulder, giving him a death order.
Mao felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He really didn't want to ride a donkey...
