Chapter 136 High-level Meeting (Please vote and subscribe)
The young men spoke one by one, and soon, Luo Chong learned about the situation of the Fire Tribe from them. He couldn't help but be surprised. It seems that this Fire Chief is still a perverted psychopath.
However, after understanding the population of the Fire Tribe, Luo Chong also decided to bring those women and children back, although they can't do anything, and even become a burden to the Han tribe. After all, it is not easy to feed more than 700 children who can't do anything.
But if they are not brought back, the remaining dozens of men in the Fire Tribe will not be able to support them. At that time, whether these children can survive is a problem. Although these children were forced to be born, they are also innocent. Luo Chong can't sit and watch them die like this.
"Okay, bury the pit, and the rest of the things will be discussed when we go back. Hurry up, we have to get home before sunset." Luo Chong had a bottom line in his heart, and arranged it to the tribesmen.
In this way, more than 200 bodies were buried underground. The Han tribe had almost no spoils of war in this battle. Luo Chong also looked down on the stone axes and stone spears of the Fire Tribe, but it was good to be able to replenish the population.
Everyone spent a whole morning packing up and started to head towards the Han tribe at noon. It was not until the evening that everyone returned to the residence of the Han tribe.
The residence had changed a lot. The small wall could no longer accommodate so many people. The new tribesmen were arranged outside the wall. A pointed hut was built along the side of the cave for them to live in. A simple fence was also made of thick branches outside.
In the evening, all the tribesmen gathered together for dinner, and Dashu also came to report to Luo Chong about the situation during this period.
During the time when Luo Chong was away, everyone lived a normal life. It was just that Dashu didn't know how to accommodate the new group of tribesmen, so he asked them to find something they were good at in the Han tribe.
The tribesmen of the Mushroom Tribe and the Tattoo Tribe joined the collection team and collected some new edible plants for everyone. The teenagers of the Tattoo Tribe also found a deep red plant dye, which they used to make tattoo pigments.
Luo Chong didn't know what the plant was called. It was a low tree. The juice of its leaves and stems was dark green, but after being exposed to the air for a period of time, it would turn dark red. This thing had good coloring properties and could be used to dye cloth in the future. Luo Chong made a note of it and gave it a name, "Hongyan Grass", which means grass that can produce red pigment.
The teenagers from the Fork Tribe and the Ao Tribe joined the fishing team. They were good at swimming and could catch fish in the water. They also made a lot of food for the tribe in the past few days.
The Bullet Tribe and the Thorn Tribe liked carpenters. The carts, wooden buckets, and bows and arrows of the Han Tribe were all made by the carpentry team. When these newcomers knew that these things were created by the leader, they worshipped Luo Chong, the leader, even more and regarded him as a god.
The Cave Tribe and the Scythe Tribe also found things that interested them. The Cave Tribe participated in the work of pottery and brick making, and the Scythe Tribe is currently learning metallurgy and copper smelting.
The Zhu tribe did not find grapes here, but they found new materials for making sugar, which are the roots and nodules of the man-eating tree, especially the syrup in the nodules. Collect them directly and heat them in a pottery pot, then stir-fry them continuously to make brown sugar.
In fact, Luo Chong also knows how to make sugar, but he does not have so much free time. As long as it is an edible plant with a relatively high sweetness, you can make brown sugar by directly heating and frying the juice after squeezing it. Add water to dissolve and filter the brown sugar, then add activated carbon to bleach and fade it, and re-crystallize the faded transparent sugar liquid to make white sugar. The larger crystals are rock sugar. Making sugar is that simple.
The teenagers from the other tribes all joined the hunting team. As the team expanded, everyone began to use the method of hunting and gradually swept the surrounding forests, which also brought a lot of food to the Han tribe.
However, this is not a long-term solution. Humans are becoming more and more united and powerful. Sooner or later, the surrounding animals will be eaten extinct by them. Therefore, Luo Chong issued a new order, which is to catch those herbivorous animals as much as possible in the future, bring them back to raise, and slowly expand the population.
The rabbits in the Han tribe at the beginning also reproduced, and now there are more than 500 rabbits. This batch is born by the batch of rabbits that Luo Chong just brought back, as well as the first batch of rabbits born in the Han tribe. This time, they all participated in the reproduction.
The rabbit breeding in the Han tribe has entered a period of rapid development. The scale of the rabbit population this year will be a blowout. These rabbits are also magical. The lower the creature is in the food chain, the faster it reproduces. This is the only way to ensure that their population can continue and not lead to extinction.
After Dashu reported the situation, the senior leaders of the Han tribe also gathered together. Luo Chong, Shu Da, Shu Wu, the elders, Dashu, and Xue Tu began to plan the development of the tribe in the future.
The Rat Witch was the first to make suggestions to Luo Chong: "Chief, there are too many new tribesmen. Our walls can no longer protect the entire tribe. And those thatched houses are okay for living now, but they can't be lived in in winter. People will freeze to death, and there is no way to light fires in the thatched houses."
The elder also added: "Our food this year is also a problem. There are too many people. We may have to stock up on food for the winter early. Although it is just spring now, we must prepare early. There are also animal skins for winter. If there are not enough animal skins, people will freeze to death."
Luo Chong listened to what they said and nodded. The two old men were really thinking about the development of the tribe. Although they did not give any useful solutions, the two problems they raised were indeed very important.
"I have thought about these two problems. Do you have anything else?" Luo Chong asked after they finished speaking.
"Chief, there is also the matter of attacking the Fire Tribe. If we defeat them, we can increase the population by more than 1,000." Xue Tu added.
The other people looked at Xue Tu in confusion.
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Xue Tu, the leader of the Tu Tribe. He has now joined our tribe." Luo Chong introduced them.
Several people nodded to Xue Tu, and then the elder asked, "Chief, do we need to add more than 1,000 people? We may not be able to feed so many people."
Luo Chong shook his head and said to them, "It doesn't matter. More than half of the 1,000 people are children of three or four years old. Although they can't do much work, they can't eat much either. If we work harder, we can still feed them."
After hearing what Luo Chong said, several senior executives couldn't object and could only nod in agreement. It was not that they didn't want to increase the population, but they just felt the pressure was too great.
"Since you have nothing else to say, I will tell you about the solution.
You have seen how fast the rabbits in the tribe reproduce, so we need to find a way to expand the scale. When the time comes, Dashu, you will lead a team to continue catching wild rabbits. Catch as many as you can. The more you catch, the more food and animal skins we will have.
In addition, we should organize more people to go fishing. Fish will become our main food in the future. The number of
hunting teams should be reduced. We should set up more traps in the forest to catch prey, and then send out only one team to patrol the area every day. This can prevent anyone from attacking us, and save a lot of manpower.
Saving The manpower is divided into two parts. One part will continue to cut down trees. The trunks can be made into logs to build houses, and the branches can be dried and used as firewood. The other part will dig rivers and burn bricks. We will build brick houses to live in. Brick houses are stronger and not afraid of fire.
After digging out the river, we can open more canals, so that we can irrigate more paddy fields, and we can grow more rice to provide food. The
carpentry group and the metallurgical group are now mainly making various tools, making more axes for cutting trees and copper shovels for digging soil.
Tomorrow I will regroup everyone. Everyone must have their own things to do and contribute to the development of the tribe. Do you understand?" Luo Chong told them about his future plans.
"Yes, chief."
