The copper content of the copper mine of the Hongzang tribe is still quite good. As the copper ingots produced by the Lingyin City Copper Workshop are continuously sent to the Tool City of Haifan City, the Hai tribe has gradually increased the production of copper axes in order to support the forest tree felling work of various branches as much as possible.
Axe shafts made of copper are unscientific. Wooden shafts are actually the best for strength. Copper shafts are jarring, and metal connections break easily. Wooden shafts are made of relatively flexible wood, making them less susceptible to breaking.
Besides, the Sea Tribe couldn't afford to use a copper axe handle, and that would be a waste of so much copper.
Only after ensuring the production reserves of copper plowshares did the Hai tribe increase the production of copper axes. The copper axe is indeed the best production tool. When war comes, it can be used to chop people.
The charlatans didn't emphasize the speed of popularizing clay kilns, so just take your time. If you really want to build a kiln, but don't have a copper axe, why don't you just do it? As long as there's profit, even poor primitive people will do it, no matter how difficult it is.
If you don't have a copper axe, a stone axe will do, right? Even stone axes aren't necessary. Hardworking and brave primitive people would just use slightly harder and sharper stones to smash through trees, making a hole. If that doesn't work, they'd just light a fire. The chances of burning down a tree are very high.
Anyway, we have to burn charcoal or make fuel for building mud kilns, so what's the big deal if we burn a few trees?
The logging team in Nankai City wasn't large, but in Beida City, closer to the forest, the primitive people who were developing the forest were massive. No matter how powerful a tree is, if someone wants to knock it down, there's always a way.
Everyone wants to learn how to build clay kilns. Whether it's to make charcoal for food or just to make more pottery for their own homes, it's worth it, right? Otherwise, what are they doing with all that time?
"Cut down the trees, cut down all the trees!" Big Bad Wolf personally inspected the two newly built villages in the west and started shouting.
"Why rush? Burning charcoal takes time."
"Idiot, the felled trees will drift down the road and reach our Nankai City, right? Why are you using charcoal made of chicken feathers?" Big Bad Wolf looked dissatisfied. How could the instructor of this village be so stubborn? What our Nankai City mainly needs is fuel for life. Can't we just burn firewood directly?
"Oh, it's true!" The instructor was a little shy. The lower reaches of this great river were right next to Nankai City. Going downstream, even transportation was saved.
"More than a dozen copper axes have arrived. You better arrange them well, boy."
"Don't worry, Chief."
"I'm not sure if I'm relieved." Gray Wolf was born in the grasslands and was used to being rude. "You are such a chatterbox when it comes to storytelling, but why are you so slow when it comes to organizing things?"
Wolf took a look around and found a lot of problems.
"Alright, Gray Wolf, the instructors are all young and inexperienced. Can you please speak properly?" Ma Han said. Most of the instructors grew up in Haifan City, and Haifan City hasn't been around that long, has it? Expecting a teenager to handle everything is impossible.
“Don’t discourage their work ethic too much.”
"How can we do without criticism? Without criticism, progress will be slow." Gray Wolf disagreed. Everyone's leadership style is different. No one says that anyone is right. "I've been scolded by charlatans too."
"You are already old, do you still have thick skin?"
"Get lost! You were originally in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs..."
"I'm responsible for that shit. Didn't you say that these two villages should be handed over to the Bull Head Lord to capture?"
"Ma Han, I've always said you're so slow. Niu Tou has only been here for a short time and isn't familiar with the business in Nankai City..."
"Stop! It was you who asked Niu Tou to familiarize himself with the business in Nankai City first, wasn't it?"
"Did I say that? I think so." Wolf smacked his lips.
"You'll die if you don't show off?" Ma Han curled his lips. "The idea of the wood floating downstream was thought up by Niutou, right? Tsk! With your stupid brain..."
…
Nankai City's fuel problem had been solved. The wood that flowed downstream, piled up in Nankai City and dried, would become good firewood. Nankai City didn't need much coal or charcoal, and there wasn't much of a forging industry, right?
Most of the charcoal produced was sent to Haifan City. Charcoal is much lighter than coal and is easier to transport.
As for deforestation, Ma Yue didn't worry about it. These days, there are too many forests and the population is too small to affect the greening of the earth.
"You charlatan, there are too few adult people in our Haifan City." said the second priest.
"Little?"
"It's not that good. There are seven or eight thousand children under the age of five or six, and none of them can work. In recent years, many children have been born, and there is a serious shortage of labor in Haifan City." The third priest said. If there is a shortage of labor, then Haifan City will need to hire more outsiders.
"The main reason is that this year, a total of 2,000 regular and deputy soldiers were assigned to the north and south branches, resulting in a huge gap in the labor force." Shuichong said. He originally thought that the people of the Guiluowang tribe could solve some of the labor problems, but the charlatan sent away more than 3,000 people at once (threw them to Lingguo Island).
"Tell me what you think." Ma Yue basically follows this pattern now. The main leader of the Hai tribe must have the enthusiasm to actively manage. He can't expect to decide everything by himself, right?
Ma Yue's ideal scenario was to do nothing and simply enjoy the power of faith. As for the management of the Sea Tribe, wasn't it enough for the top leadership to resolve the issue? Less worry, wouldn't that be conducive to a better state of mind for cultivation? To put it bluntly, Ma Yue was being lazy.
"Mobilize the militia from the north and south branches." Shuichong said.
