"Lei Qing, we've got so many people over there... By the way, how's the exploration going over there?"
"There are too many bushes, so farming is not possible for the time being. There are fruits everywhere, more than we can eat, so grazing and animal husbandry will not be a big problem. Don't worry, charlatan, as long as there are fruits and livestock, life over there will be very happy, hehe!" Lei Qing said with a smile. This woman is always so confident.
"How are Lu Fang and Guo Sheng?"
"It's not bad, it's pretty standard. The tribe is very orderly, which gives me a lot less to worry about."
"That's good." As I said, mediocrity doesn't mean uselessness. This is a primitive world, where can we find so many outstanding talents? Being able to manage a tribe of 3,000 people with relative mediocrity is quite impressive.
Is it enough to just eat fruits and meat? Isn't that nonsense? Primitive people didn't farm. They just hunted for a living, and used fruits to satisfy their hunger. Everyone has long been accustomed to this way of survival.
Of course there are wild animals on Lingguo Island, but they are difficult to hunt because of the dense bushes.
It's not impossible to make a living by raising livestock. Since Lingguo Island is suitable for animal husbandry and breeding, why not do it? Even if there is a shortage of food, the Hai Tribe is huge, and there are grains everywhere. Internal exchange? We are already used to it.
Poseidon City is suitable for growing radishes; Seasail City is suitable for growing potatoes. Isn't this a perfect complement? Now, there is another Spirit Fruit Island suitable for animal husbandry. Not bad!
For effective internal communication and exchange, a strong navy is a prerequisite; the navy is the most important hub of communication for the Sea Tribe. Why were all the people who migrated to Lingguo Island recruited from the trade zone? Because the Sea Tribe's own able-bodied men were being used to expand and arm the navy as much as possible.
It doesn’t matter. Even if Lingguo Island recruits outsiders, with a master of miracles like Lei Qing, naturalization will not be a problem.
This time, Lei Qing went back and listened to the future policies. Since prisoners of war would need to be relocated to Lingguo Island in the future, why not expand the scale of Lingguo Island now?
Ma Yue thought it made sense. If he expanded the size of the Lingguo Island tribe now, his own strength would be greater. In the future, he would be able to recruit more prisoners and gain an advantage.
So, Lei Qing started looking for people in the East City Trade Zone again.
"I'll go, we'll all go!"
"Niutou, what are you yelling about? Aren't you guys doing pretty well over there?"
"It's useless. No matter how well you do, you are not from the Sea Tribe after all. Even though you are protected by the Sea Tribe in that area, you are still unsure. Don't you know? The Thunder God Tribe in the core area has escaped. The forest coalition will attack us sooner or later." The speaker was Niu Tou, the former chief of the 'Niupi' tribe.
"The blood-thirsty evil cultivator?" someone asked. No one knew why, but the story of the blood-thirsty evil cultivator had spread so widely that almost everyone in the world knew about it.
"Not so good. It is said that the great witch of the forest coalition has defected to Blood Cloud Mountain and become an evil cultivator of blood. If they really want to attack, it is better to deal with a small tribe like ours first, rather than facing the powerful Haifan City first, right?" What Niu Tou said seemed to make sense.
"That's true. If a war really breaks out, Haifan City will definitely protect its own people first."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I won't miss this opportunity no matter what. Haifan City is not accepting people anymore. Lingguo Island is the only chance." Niu Tou bravely squeezed to the front of the crowd. Everyone was not stupid. Lingguo Island, presided over by Lei Qing, must be an important distribution of the Hai tribe in the future.
Most importantly, some of the people who were recruited last time on Lingguo Island came back with them and spread the word that there were so many fruits on Lingguo Island that they couldn't finish eating them all, and that the pigs could grow dozens of pounds more than here...
I don’t care whether it’s really that good or not, as long as I don’t starve to death, it’s fine.
"You charlatan, we really want to join the Sea Tribe." Niu Tou and Ma Mian looked at Ma Yue awkwardly. Things are different now. The current 'Niupi' tribe feels ashamed compared to a behemoth like the Sea Tribe.
"Your troops can go, but you two can't go." Ma Yue said bluntly.
"Okay, charlatan, we'll do whatever you say." said Niu Tou.
"Then...charlatan, what should we do?" asked the Horse-Faced God awkwardly.
"Since you have decided to join our Sea Tribe, you must obey our arrangements."
"Don't worry, charlatan. I promise to obey you and do whatever we ask of you." Niutou's attitude was positive. The Niupi tribe was gone, even the high priest was gone. Besides, the high priest had said that joining the Sea Tribe was the best option.
The managers of the Sea Tribe are of very mixed backgrounds, and if they join the Sea Tribe, they will have a chance to make a name for themselves.
"Niutou, you belong to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Second Priest will make arrangements; Horse-faced, you belong to the Army, and Gray Wolf will make arrangements for you. Go ahead."
"Yes!" The Ox-Headed Demon and the Horse-Faced Demon were able to salute the charlatan properly.
Lei Qing took a lot of people with him this time, but fortunately, the Sea Tribe's navy also had a lot of sailing ships, so it didn't matter. Ma Yue believed in Lei Qing's ability.
With more people, more talent was needed. It didn't matter; technical personnel could be transferred from various departments to provide support. The functional departments of the Hai Tribe were already accustomed to this. Wang Chao, the director of the Justice Bureau, was also taken away by Lei Qing.
It's understandable. Lingguo Island already has over 6,000 people, and Lu Fang and Guo Sheng alone are probably overwhelmed. Wang Chao is quite capable. Leaving Haifan City for Lingguo Island is a disguised way of governing.
Good news came from the North and South branches: the main city was completed. This was good, as it provided basic defensive capabilities. Ma Yue was worried that the forest coalition forces would attack the North and South branches before attacking Haifan City, which would be troublesome.
After all, the North and South branches were small in number, protected by Stone City, and thus immune to being overwhelmed by the vast forest army. Anyway, Haifan City was about to go to war with the forest coalition, and they didn't want to stay in Haifan City. Field battles and offensives were the Sea Tribe's policy.
The Hai tribe’s army, whether it is infantry or cavalry, is quite large. When it comes to field combat capabilities, who is they afraid of?
The war was only in its preparatory stages. Theoretically, Ma Yue didn't want to fight, so it would be better if you didn't come. However, the Great Shaman of the Forest Alliance had become a bloody evil cultivator. Was it possible not to fight?
It doesn’t matter. If a war really breaks out, we can capture more prisoners. Lingguo Island can be regarded as a reserve for the future population of Ma Yue’s sea tribe.
Besides cultivation, Ma Yue often inspected the Ministry of Civil Affairs, especially the various research teams. As the saying goes, technology is productivity; every little improvement can increase production and support more people.
"The charlatan looks down on the Forest Blood Eye Alliance." said Gray Wolf. The charlatan did not care about the possibility of an attack from the Forest Blood Eye Alliance at all, and he inspected the Army Department more.
"They are just a mob. Their numbers may not even be as large as our Sea Tribe's, and their weapons are not at all more advanced than ours. Grey Wolf, it would be really unacceptable if we lose the fight like this." Shuichong said.
"Indeed!" Gray Wolf nodded. Fighting on home turf, rather than landing in a distant land, was a huge advantage. "We have to make good use of the cavalry. Cavalry is most effective in capturing prisoners."
"Yes, our opponents are not grassland people who grew up on horseback. The cavalry of the Forest Blood Eye Alliance may not be as fast as our cavalry. However, our cavalry cannot shoot arrows immediately and can only rely on flying guns." Shuichong said.
