Chapter 77 Further Stabilizing the Situation



What do most people do? They build timber fences. Without them, there's no sense of security, and the resistance to attack isn't strong enough.

As for what to eat? The White Mist Tribe's cornfields were being tended to, as it wasn't harvest season yet. The White Mist Tribe still had a little corn in reserve, and with the addition of the fish in the baskets, it should be enough for the time being.

The vigorous wall-building movement has begun again. Working together will promote language communication. Unifying the same language is necessary.

There are a lot of things to do and they are very complicated, but fortunately, Ma Yue's subordinates are very capable.

During this period, people from the White Mist Tribe kept disappearing. Where did they go? The answer was simple: those who were somewhat prestigious, or perhaps even disloyal, were secretly executed by Ma Yue's order.

To conquer the Baiwu tribe, these previously prestigious and unstable factors are not needed. What Ma Yue needs are people who work honestly.

More than a hundred people have been secretly executed, and with the added deterrence of the powerful wildebeest cavalry, that's enough.

There are not enough pottery basins, but it doesn’t matter. Those who can enjoy the salt first are naturally the members of the salt-boiling team. There is no such thing as fairness in treatment.

As the pottery-making team produced more and more pottery plates, and the number of people in the salt-boiling team increased, the output of salt would naturally increase.

"You charlatan, there are only twenty wildebeest cavalry left. Is that enough?" Huoshi was very worried about Ma Yue's comfort.

"Don't worry, go ahead. It's no problem." Ma Yue said. The Baiwu tribe has basically settled down now. It's time for the hunting team to set off. Hunting is one thing, but it is also very important to get familiar with the surrounding area as soon as possible and have a clear understanding of the surrounding situation.

"Chun Wu and Xia Wu are very good. You should train them well and take turns to take them out."

"Don't worry!" The conquerors cannot rely on themselves alone. Flint understands that the locals are very important.

The members of Chun Wu and Xia Wu's teams were also constantly changing. Over the past month, the level of their Faith Power had been constantly changing, with many reaching the intermediate level. In Chun Wu and Xia Wu's teams, Faith Power had to be at or above the intermediate level.

In this way, Ma Yue felt relieved when Chunwu and Xiawu's teams were released.

Ma Yue still trusted Chun Wu and Xia Wu very much. Their teams both had more than 20 people. Ma Yue said that when their teams exceeded 50 people, he would appoint them as squadron leaders.

Huoshi led the hunting party out, and Chunwu's twenty-man team also followed. In fact, Huoshi's hunting party had forty people, and there were only ten wildebeest left at the base.

Just ten cavalrymen, just patrol.

"Xia Wu, you did a good job. These will all be under your command from now on. You are the squadron leader now." Ma Yue selected some strong men whose faith power had reached the intermediate level for Xia Wu, making a total of fifty people.

"Charlatan!" Xia Wu excitedly prostrated himself at Ma Yue's feet.

Sure enough! Ma Yue's estimation was correct. Xia Wu's power of faith was already close to high level, and with the appointment of squadron leader, his power of faith instantly reached a high level.

"I see your efforts, this is what you deserve."

As for the appointment of the team leader of his team, Ma Yue generously handed it over to Xia Wu to arrange.

The team is getting bigger and bigger, and Ma Yue can't worry about so many details, so he delegates power appropriately.

A ten-man wildebeest patrol cavalry, two fifty-man patrol squadrons, and a flying stone and flying gun team composed of half a dozen children. This strength is enough for the guard.

"Goddamn it, can I be relieved of my duties as squadron leader?" Hai came closer. That's right, the captain of the other fifty-man squadron was Hai. Ma Yue had appointed him temporarily. "I think the situation is almost stable now."

"What do you want to do now?"

"Let's go to the sea, charlatan. I'm from the trade team, and we haven't reached the ghost town yet." Hai was still a little upset. If he didn't reach the ghost town, his mission would be considered a failure. Although he caused the Hai tribe to occupy the White Mist tribe, Hai still felt a little ashamed.

"Going at this time of year?"

"Bai Pi said that this is the right time to start from here and go to the ghost town." Hai said.

"It's Baipi who said that again?" Ma Yue was upset. Baipi, when had he ever been reliable? "What if something goes wrong?" Regardless of Hai's abilities, he was definitely his biggest fan and an old friend.

"A charlatan..."

"Well... Hai, you've seen it too. We've only been here for a month, and there are too many unstable factors. You should at least stay and help me for half a year, right? Why are you in such a hurry to go out to sea? Don't worry, you can go there again if things here are really stable." Ma Yue said.

"Besides, if we go to a ghost town, we'll lose everything. At least we can develop here and make some coarse salt. Then you can bring it to us, so we can cover the cost of the transaction, right?"

It seemed to make sense. The goodies we brought with us last time out to sea were all confiscated by the White Mist Tribe, and they were all pretty much gone. The coarse salt was naturally gone too.

"Luo Bai is going to lead everyone to build a wall. What about the safety here? I can only leave it to you." Ma Yue would not worry about it.

"Don't worry, you charlatan. We have two squadrons guarding us. Whoever dares to come will be killed." Hai instantly felt the pressure on his shoulders.

"That's right, right? The two patrol squadrons, the cavalry squadron, and even the flying rifle and stone flying teams of our half-grown children. You have to make arrangements for them."

"Don't worry!" In this regard, Hai has experience as a leader after all.

So, Hai was publicly appointed as the 'City Defense Commander' by Ma Yue. It's been a month, I'm almost dead tired, it's time to rest.

The White Mist Tribe's base was not without a cave, though it was small. It had originally been used to enshrine the tribe's so-called totem, but now it had become Ma Yue's private base.

"High Priest, how's it going? Is the cornfield growing well?"

"Although I don't know much about corn cultivation, the locals said that the growth of corn is quite normal. I checked and found that the corn fields here don't need to be plowed. They just use sticks to poke a hole in the ground, sow the seeds in, cover it with soil, and water it." The high priest was surprised.

That's bullshit! No wonder the corn harvest here is so poor, only 500-600 kilograms. There's no winter here, the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold.

Aren't the people here not cultivating the land properly, using chicken feathers? Tools these days are so crude, and there's no way to cultivate it meticulously, right?

The flatlands surrounding the Qingwu Tribe are practically all planted with corn. Quite a bit, claiming over a hundred acres. It's not great, they don't even have to till the land... It's not like they're completely idle, at least they know how to harvest, right? Haha.

One hundred mu was not a small amount, and with a yield of 500 jin per mu, there was still a harvest of 50,000 jin. However, for the White Mist Tribe, with a population of nearly 2,000, 50,000 jin of food was a drop in the bucket.

"Further out there is a large forest of trees, and there is no room to expand the farmland." The high priest was also anxious.

In Kirishima, grasslands and forests alternate with each other. Since we have encountered a forest, we cannot grow corn.

Corn is only harvested once a year.

“Why expand?”

"What do you mean?" Isn't the farmland getting better and better? The high priest was confused.
