Throughout the journey, Wu She kept talking with Wu Xian, listening to Wu Xian recount the details of the Zhuxia tribe.
The more he listened, the more alarmed he became.
Finally, after crossing another stretch of mountain road, Wushe saw the architecture of the Zhuxia people.
That was a city wall built by Hou Wenjie using reinforced concrete.
Wu Xian introduced to Wu She: "This is the city wall that Wu Hou ordered to be built."
The shaman said, "Our Xia people arose on the shores of the East Sea, and the sun rises from the East Sea."
Therefore, this city was named Chaoge!
Chaoge! Wu She looked at the two characters "Chaoge" deeply engraved on the city wall.
He sighed inwardly, "This shaman is indeed ambitious, comparing himself to the rising sun!"
Moreover, the city wall is several people tall!
Even from a distance, it exudes a sense of grandeur.
With such city walls here, who can breach them!
The three pairs of double gates in the city wall have been opened.
The gatekeeper, Black Bone, was also waiting outside the city wall.
The reason for this is that the sentries patrolling the border had already been ordered by the shaman to train carrier pigeons.
All border sentries know how to use carrier pigeons to deliver messages.
When Wu Xian and Wu She set foot on the territory of the former Deer Horn Clan, the sentry sent back a message by carrier pigeon.
After receiving the news, Black Bone sent a message to the Great Witch Hall via carrier pigeon.
The shaman gave the order to welcome the Wild Ox Clan members directly into Anyang Street in the East Market and settle everyone down first.
Wu Xian also saw the black bone standing quietly outside the city gate.
Upon arriving, he stepped down from the carriage and led Wu She and the others forward.
He smiled and introduced them to Black Bone one by one: "This is the Great Shaman, Wu She."
This is the leader, Zhong Mang.
This is the leader, the wolf.
This is a sorcerer, Ku Sang.
After bowing to the luggage, Hei Gu said, "I am Hei Gu, the gatekeeper of Chaoge City."
"By order of the Marquis of Wu, I have come here to welcome you all into the city and settle you in!"
Upon hearing this, Wu She cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General!"
Black Bone returned the greeting with a bow, then led the group toward the East Market.
In the East Market, a large square had already been built with cement.
In the square, many large iron pots had already been set up, most of which were filled with fish soup.
The few iron pots were used for stir-frying vegetables, bamboo shoots, and fish offal.
Before arriving at the square, the livestock were first settled in an empty farm in the East Market.
Everyone lined up.
Everyone, young and old, received a bowl of fish soup and a bowl of stir-fried vegetables, with bamboo shoots and fish offal each making up half of the stir-fried vegetables.
The woman holding the baby was given an extra piece of dried salted fish.
Wu She also received a bowl of fish soup and a bowl of stir-fried vegetables.
Wu She only took a sip of the fish soup and felt an unprecedented sweetness!
He also used earthenware pots to cook meat, but the cooked food was far inferior to the roasted food, and the soup was even more unpalatable.
He never imagined that the fish soup would taste so delicious.
Presumably, this includes the salt that Wu Xian mentioned during their casual conversations along the way.
I recall Wu Xian saying that Wu Hou established the Zhuxia Library, which contained various books, including cookbooks.
Wu She wanted to learn all the Chinese languages immediately and study all these books thoroughly.
He also tried bamboo shoots and fish offal, both of which tasted quite good.
His eyes swept across the people of his tribe in the square, and he saw that each of them had a satisfied expression on their face.
He thought to himself, if things could continue like this, it wouldn't be bad for the Wild Ox Clan to integrate into the Zhuxia Clan.
After everyone had finished eating, a dozen or so people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs came and registered all the members of the Bison Clan.
Everyone was also given a wooden identification tag, which had a serial number engraved on it.
Subsequently, these people were responsible for settling the entire Bison clan into newly built houses on Anyang Street.
The Bison people mostly lived in caves. Their caves were mostly dark and gloomy.
At this moment, the people of the Wild Buffalo clan were overjoyed to see that they could live in a room just like the one built by Wu She before!
All the confusion and unease I felt on the journey vanished in that instant.
In a family's home.
A child flew across the large wooden bed in the room, rolling around happily.
The woman spread out her luggage and laid the animal skins on the bed.
The man was worried about his cattle. When he came to the street, he saw the official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs who had helped him register his housing earlier patrolling the street, answering people's questions from time to time.
Seeing the man's patient and tireless attitude and gentle smile, the man's anxiety gradually subsided.
After this person finished answering another person's question, the man stepped forward and said:
"Does Your Majesty know where our livestock are?"
The official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs said, "The Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of matters concerning livestock."
Your livestock should have been placed in a breeding farm in the East City.
Go straight from here, then turn left at the intersection, and walk to the end to find the East Market Livestock Farm!
Actually, you don't need to worry. Your livestock are now being taken care of by people from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Previously, if someone's household registration included livestock, the Ministry of Agriculture would immediately notify them to go and collect a license plate.
The man nodded, slightly embarrassed, and said, "I still want to go and see!"
The official in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs laughed and said, "It would be good to go and take a look. After all, among the Zhuxia tribes, even a draft ox is a remarkable treasure."
Following the directions given by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the man successfully found the East Market breeding farm.
The farm is easy to spot; the walls of the yard are painted with animals such as pigs, cows, chickens, and pigeons.
The man walked into the courtyard, approached a nearby house where someone was sitting, and whispered, "I am a member of the Buffalo Clan. Can I find my bull?"
The man was copying down the previously registered information of the Bison herders and adding it to the archives.
Hearing the man's words, she was stunned for a moment before she reacted and said:
"Of course. But to prevent any mistakes, please show me your ID card so I can verify it."
“Okay.” The man took out his wooden sign.
The official quickly completed the verification and also recorded the number on the man's cow.
Then he handed the man a bull's nose ring with a number on it and a piece of rope.
This seemingly simple cow nose ring realizes the spring design proposed by Hou Wenjie, which can be regarded as a new stage achievement of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Seeing the man's bewildered expression, the official realized his oversight and quickly said:
“You can see our breeding farm by going out the back door.”
Your cow is in the third row of cattle pens from the left!
Beside the cowshed, there will be staff from our Ministry of Agriculture who will accompany you and put nose rings on your cattle, making it easier for you to graze them later!
The man nodded and said, "Thank you."
Then, he took some things that the worker had given him that he didn't understand and went to the cowshed.
He saw a long wooden trough set up outside the cattle pen.
The two horizontal bars of the cattle pen are far apart, allowing the cattle to easily pass through the bars and eat the grass in the wooden trough outside the pen.
The man watched quietly. Although he didn't quite understand, he still felt that this seemed like a good idea.
He recalled that every time he brought hay, it was always trampled everywhere by the cows' feet and mixed with cow dung.
Thinking about it this way, he suddenly understood the intention behind it.
