The coal mines west of the Northern Branch have been mining daily and have never stopped. Many tribes, large and small, come here to mine and exchange them for food, salt, pottery, etc.
The accumulation is sufficient to ensure sufficient transportation during the winter. Fortunately, this model is sufficient for the current coal demand of the Sea Tribe. Both Haifan City and Qiuhai City need a large amount of coal.
Looking at the army of people digging coal in full swing, how many people from the tribe are digging coal. It is not easy for them to have a bite to eat.
Although this warm area is suitable for farming, without sufficient large livestock and plows, productivity is even lower. Even the people of the sea tribe who farm so much can't get enough to eat, let alone so many migrating tribes.
Some tribes also ventured down to the cliffs by the sea to boil salt. Isn't that just for survival? And boiling salt requires pottery, right? So, the pottery-making business of the sea tribes was also very busy.
For the time being, the Hai tribe cannot take care of so many large and small tribes and really cannot afford it.
The productivity of the Hai tribe has increased a lot. At present, copper plows and shovels have been popularized in the northern branch. Spring plowing with large livestock is no longer as pitiful as one large livestock per acre. With one thousand large livestock, the spring plowing area reaches two thousand acres. This efficiency improvement is already terrifying.
Ma Yue believes that if the curved plow can be popularized in the future, productivity will be greatly improved.
Of course, compared to the past, it was still very pitiful. On average, one large animal could only plow two acres of land during spring ploughing? A hundred acres would be about right.
The Northern Branch now has 3,000 large livestock. Future farming will flourish, and the harvest will increase exponentially. Food, huh? There's never enough. More is better. At least, we can avoid going hungry for a few days, and everyone is so happy.
Despite the Hai Tribe's pitiful production efficiency, it's the envy of many surrounding tribes, large and small. This is the great advantage the Hai Tribe enjoyed during their early years of primitive accumulation. Now? Who would still sell you livestock? Everyone knows that livestock is the key to farming?
Ma Yue was satisfied with his inspection of the Northern Branch. The officers at all levels and the leaders of the Ministry of Civil Affairs had at least intermediate-level power of faith. This was good. Ma Yue was relieved that the enemy's spiritual practitioners did not come here to covet the power of faith.
Ma Yue's power of faith had already exceeded the limit. Apart from the residents of nearby Haifan City and the branches far away, he only needed to maintain the power of faith of the main leaders. Once the power of faith was lower than the high level, Ma Yue would not be able to feel the distant ones.
Ma Yue's patrol only brought Xia Wu's 100 guards, so what's the big deal? Didn't they still return to Haifan City smoothly?
The Northern Branch was the first to complete the popularization of copper plow shovels. The next step is to popularize it in Haifan City. Just take it step by step. The copper plow shovels in Haifan City have been popularized for more than half.
The latest intelligence is that the spirited high priest of the Qingfeng tribe is still happily fighting with the chief witch of the forest coalition. Okay, you guys take your time.
The arrangements have been roughly completed, and Ma Yue's focus is still on cultivation.
As the main technical force of Tongfang withdrew to Haifan City, the number of large livestock in Qiu Haicheng also decreased, leaving less than a thousand, which was related to the insufficient arable land area.
The livestock have mostly been evacuated, and the population has also begun to evacuate. The Hai Tribe no longer worries about the enemy attacking Qiuhai City. The most important copper-making personnel have withdrawn. Just come and attack. You dare to attack? I will come back and cause trouble for you. The three tribes in the ghost town are awesome, right? Ma Yue led his troops to raid your lair just like that.
Let’s fight, at worst we’ll hurt each other.
Eight hundred men. In less than a month, Qiu Haicheng was left with only eight hundred regular soldiers, deputy soldiers, and livestock. The latest instruction from the charlatan was to flee if you couldn't win, and just save the people and livestock.
This scale is similar to the combat effectiveness of the Qiuhai tribe in the earliest period. The only difference is that the old and weak people in Qiuhai City are gone.
These 800 people were very capable. They had to farm, raise pigs, boil salt, and smelt copper ore...
Of course, the largest number of people in the copper mine are those hired from surrounding tribes.
Where are the sheep? Where are the sheep? Raising pigs is good enough. If the enemy really attacks, you can't take the sheep with you, right?
"You're leaving too?" Bing Yueyue and Bing Yueshui watched Qiu Haicheng develop and a large number of people were evacuated.
"Yes, it's a sheepskin transfer order from a charlatan, asking me to go to the northern branch." Bing Yueyue said.
"Is a war going to start?" Bing Yueshui said.
"It's very likely. They withdrew so many regular and deputy soldiers, saying that they were all to replenish the navy. When they went on land, they were still cavalry, right?" Bing Yueyue said.
"Indeed, for a city as large as Haifan, there are less than 3,000 regular and deputy soldiers. That's too few."
"The focus should be on developing the northern branch. The troops are becoming increasingly dispersed."
"Who would be so bold as to attack the Sea Tribe?"
"Our Hai Tribe is rich, and there are many people who are interested in us. Yueshui, you have to be careful here. Didn't the charlatan say that if you can't win, run away?"
"Don't worry, this area has a lot of depth. As long as we have cavalry, it's easy to run anywhere. Didn't the charlatans also fight guerrilla warfare here?"
With Bing Yueyue gone, Qiu Haicheng didn't need two Divine Cultivators anymore; it was a bit of a waste. Regardless, Bing Yueyue's cultivation was decent enough; she could easily pull off a miracle. It was valuable for the stability of the Northern Branch.
As for the regular and deputy soldiers withdrawn from Qiu Haicheng, they were taken over by the head of the Navy, Shuichong. Ma Yue had already explained how they would be arranged. The return of the large livestock just made up for the loss of the large livestock assigned to the Northern Branch. Haifan City's farming maintained its original level. Is everything going well?
