Overall, the Sea Tribe fought a naval battle that yielded no profit and resulted in losses. Although they captured a number of ships, only about a hundred remained.
The Guilin King's tribe has run away, and there is no chance of war reparations.
No matter what, a victory is a victory, and morale is good. If an army never fights, how can it lose its tradition? Only by winning battles can the team have morale. This is also the heritage of a team.
Luo Bai fought a battle with the navy, but Ma Yue didn't care whether it was fun or not. When the water bugs came, he threw Luo Bai directly to Sun City. Nankai City didn't need too much aggression, just a fight to show its respect would be enough.
The Xi'an branch was reluctant to eat the winter wheat themselves, but the Qinghai tribe liked it, so they exchanged it for Kun fish. As for the remaining fish skins, they could use them to build sea ships. Whether there was a naval battle or not, sea transportation was very important.
The good luck of the Hai tribe seemed to have returned. First, the Nankai branch discovered a copper mine near the cave of the cultivator that Ma Yue had discovered. Ma Yue personally explored it and found that the reserves were not large, but the buried layer was very shallow and easy to mine.
Since there are copper mines, why not use them?
As a result, a copper workshop was established in Nankai City, and large-scale copper mining and copperware making began. However, due to low production capacity, copper tools were never enough.
Nankai City began a new round of major operations, and the messenger from the sacred mountain arrived.
"Coal mine!"
"Yes, charlatan, the coal mine we discovered in Leishen City is believed to be of great significance to the copper production of your Sea Tribe. No matter how good charcoal is, its firepower is still not as good as coal." The messenger of the sacred mountain is not completely ignorant.
In this era, coppersmithing was common in the region, and the messengers of the sacred mountain certainly understood it. Charcoal could also be used, but it was difficult to burn, and its heat was certainly inferior to that of coal. The stronger the firepower, the higher the success rate and efficiency of the forging.
If there is coal in Leishen City, it would be great to mine it and transport it in winter using ice and snow vehicles.
"Emissary, is the Thunder God City area suitable for farming?"
"My feeling is the same as before. Divine Charlatan, can your Sea Tribe recruit people to mine the intermediate fire spirit stone mine over there?" There is no gain without pain. The messenger of the sacred mountain will certainly not bring warmth to the Sea Tribe.
Intermediate spirit stones are the most important resource for the sacred mountain.
"It would be best if we can farm it, so we can feed the miners nearby. I have no objection." Both parties benefited, and Ma Yue had no reason to object.
A copper mine appeared in Nankai City. The population of Nankai City was not large to begin with, and after a group of people from Leishen City were sent out, the city was a little short of manpower.
Ma Yue sent a letter to Sun City from Red Feather. He said, "If possible, the Xi'an branch has too many people, so it's absolutely necessary to divert some of them to Thunder God City." Primitive people? Migrating? No big deal.
The second priest gave feedback that since there was coal, it was of great value and it would be worthwhile to migrate some people there.
In this case, let the second priest arrange the migration to Thunder God City.
Good things kept happening, but Ma Yue didn't feel very good.
The other large tribes were always short of one thing or another, but the Sea Tribe, on the other hand, was short of everything. They only had two mines, copper and coal. How could they not be jealous?
Time passed little by little, and the migration of Leishen City was generally successful. Both farming and mining were running well.
The scale of copper forging in Nankai City also became larger and larger.
"In exchange for a copper plowshare?"
"Charlatan, our copper reserves are large enough. If we exchange some of them appropriately, there will be less hatred." Shuichong said. They are not stupid. The Sea Tribe is holding the golden dolls, or two at that. Why are they holding on to them tightly and not selling them?
"Sure. Doesn't the Tengu tribe have a saltwater lake? We need salt." Let's exchange. It will temporarily ease some conflicts. There are too many jealous, envious and hateful tribes.
The salt from the Tengu tribe and the copper plowshares from the Hai tribe seemed to be what each needed.
"Water Bug, don't you think it's too quiet?"
"Yes, charlatan, it has been two or three years, and the major tribes in this area have become quiet. Could they be brewing some big conspiracy?" Shuichong was also worried.
"Chun Wu, is there anything unusual in Sun City?" Ma Yue asked.
"There's nothing unusual. The Xi'an branch maintains its daily mobile cavalry and would rather farm less just to prepare for emergencies." Chun Wu knew what the charlatan was worried about. The Xi'an branch was the area with the largest population in the Hai tribe and also had the largest grain production.
Although the Xi'an branch is farther from the coastal guards and serves as the Sea Tribe's retreat, the enemy could also attack the Sun City area first. The enemy doesn't necessarily have to attack from the sea, right?
"Perhaps, we are just too nervous, haha!" Ma Yue laughed. "Alright, let's just defend normally. Our Hai Tribe is no pushover. If the enemy is strong, just come at us."
Ma Yue's attitude gave everyone some peace of mind.
Life had to go on. No matter what the enemy's schemes were, the Sea Tribe was strong enough to fight them. Could they voluntarily give up a copper mine? Was that even possible?
The Sea Tribe is reluctant to give up the vested interests.
"What a charlatan! Tie Lin from Xingxing City has been transferred to the Xi'an branch. He reported that the Xi'an branch hasn't changed much on the surface, but he senses a warm feeling."
"Warmth? What do you mean?"
"Tie Lin couldn't tell. Perhaps the Xi'an branch will get warmer, like the climate in our warmer regions?" This involved the perception of a spiritual cultivator. How could Chun Wu know? He just hoped the Xi'an branch would get better.
