The Hai tribe was strategically transporting troops, and Ma Yue might still be there. Deng Chun and Fang La came back together, and they brought a large group of people with them.
After some general inquiries, it seems that the exploration of the Southern Great Forest has failed. This is understandable, as the world is vast, and the Southern Great Forest is also vast. How could it be so easy to explore?
If there is no such thing, then there is no such thing. Since we have already decided to march into Longlin City, we might as well go all out. It is not good to divide our forces too much.
"The great charlatan..." The messenger of the Tengu tribe appeared again.
"Envoy, what advantage do you want to gain from the sea tribes this time? Haha!" Ma Yue said jokingly.
"Our chief heard that the Sea Tribe was going to Dragon Scale City. To show our Tengu Tribe's sincerity, we are willing to provide one hundred ships to help your Sea Tribe transport troops."
"You are so polite. We just lack transportation capacity. Your Tengu tribe is really a timely help. The friendship between the Sea tribe and the Tengu tribe will last forever." No matter what the purpose of your Tengu tribe is, the Sea tribe has no other way out and can only move forward.
"Emissary, our Sea Tribe has experienced a great catastrophe in the warm zone and is very poor. Could your Tengu Tribe donate some salt to us?"
"Great charlatan, our Tengu tribe doesn't even have enough salt to eat."
"Then, can you lend us three thousand large livestock first? After all, we in Dragon Scale City can first cultivate winter wheat and green onions. In the second year, we will have some food, right?"
"Well, our Tengu tribe's large livestock also need to cultivate winter wheat and green onions, so we're in a very tight spot..."
"What do you mean by that? Our soldiers sent by sea must starve to death?"
"How about...our Tengu tribe lend you some potatoes first?"
"Messenger, your kindness will move the gods."
Borrowing some grain first would be the best option. Apparently, the Tengu Tribe's farming has flourished over the years, producing such a large surplus of potatoes. The Tengu Tribe has no shortage of large livestock or people, and they also have a solid foundation in forging copper plowshares, which are the foundation for their rapid agricultural development.
Oak Bay was very similar to the original warm zone, with vast plains for expanding arable land and a favorable climate. However, the Tengu Tribe was powerful enough that no other major tribe dared to challenge the Sweet Tribe in Oak Bay.
The war between the Tengu Tribe and the Guilin King Tribe was completely unexpected, caused by the black oil. Grasslanders, by nature, love war and are far from afraid of it.
The Guilin King Tribe had been defeated by the Sea Tribe once before, and now it would be very difficult for them to compete with the Tengu Tribe for the black oil producing area.
However, the Tengu Tribe still enthusiastically invited the Sea Tribe to Donghai Island. Ma Yue couldn't understand why for the time being. Perhaps the Tengu Tribe really thought they were so powerful that they didn't care about having more powerful Sea Tribes as neighbors.
There is a lack of information from all sides about the Hai tribe fight, and Ma Yue has no way to analyze it, right?
Ma Yue also knew that potatoes were difficult to store and would spoil over time. The Tiangou Tribe was willing to send the potatoes to the Hai Tribe first. Firstly, the Tiangou Tribe had the resources; secondly, rather than letting them rot, it was better to lend them to the Hai Tribe, as they would have to return them anyway.
Potatoes? Even if the Hai Tribe went to Longlin City and cultivated winter wheat and green onions, they wouldn't produce any potatoes. So, Ma Yue and the envoy agreed that the next day, when the winter wheat harvest came in Longlin City, they could use the wheat to offset the borrowed potatoes. Of course, the wheat was valuable enough, so the exchange rate was naturally higher.
Ma Yue had no objection. In this primitive world, people were lucky enough to have enough potatoes and sweet potatoes to eat. It was unrealistic to expect to fill their stomachs with wheat that produced less than 200 kilograms per mu.
Ma Yue had always been curious. Building a wheat mill and grinding it into flour was incredibly laborious, yet the Tengu Tribe had always wanted to trade for more wheat. What did that mean? Did the Tengu Tribe have a convenient wheat mill?
It doesn’t matter. The Tengu tribe likes wheat, so let’s just change it.
Since the envoys from the Tengu tribe have arrived, it would be a good opportunity for them to use their ships to transport Deng Chun and Qingzang's 1,500 to 1,600 cavalrymen to Longlin City first.
There was no point for Ma Yue to stay in Nankai City any longer, so he followed the Tengu tribe's ship to Longlin City.
Dragon Scale City had no garrison from the Tengu Tribe at all; it was clear that the Tengu Tribe simply disdained West Water Bay. With the arrival of the 1,500 to 1,600 cavalry from the Sea Tribe, some of the smaller tribes in Dragon Scale City were successfully subdued.
Are 1,500 or 1,600 cavalrymen a small number? It depends on who they are dealing with. For a small tribe, such a large group of cavalrymen is terrifying. Fortunately, the Hai tribe has a good mass base here, and the surrounding small tribes have no resistance to the Hai tribe. This is how it is in this era.
If your tribe is not strong enough, it is best to rely on a strong enough tribe. Otherwise, how can you survive?
Ma Yue didn't worry much about the construction of Dragon Scale City; Deng Chun and Fang La led the others in the work. The Hai Tribe's development model was almost fixed, and the mature leaders were very familiar with it.
Dragon Scale City has established a new base for the Red Feather Letter Delivery, and can finally establish initial contact with Sea God City.
The Tengu Tribe was quite trustworthy, and a large quantity of potatoes was delivered to Dragon Scale City by ship. Only with food could we start our work.
With the first batch of 3,000 cavalrymen from the Sea Tribe arriving at Dragon Scale City, Ma Yue felt completely at ease. The Tengu Tribe's hundreds of ships also began to help transport troops, greatly saving the Sea Tribe's navy's transportation capacity. All that remained was to proceed according to plan.
"Spirit, we also brought a lot of corn on the ship." As the boss, Luo Bai naturally had to come first.
