Chapter 370: Three Animals and Argali Sheep (Please vote and subscribe)
Hearing Luo Chong's question, the members of the inspection team began to report the population and property of their tribes. They still counted the units of each small tribe. It seemed that the alliance had never made a unified summary. Now the report was very chaotic. Luo Chong couldn't help but feel a headache. In the end, he had to let them speak one by one, and then Luo Chong helped them summarize.
After a simple summary, Luo Chong quickly understood their current situation. First of all, the two tribal alliances did not have their own names. They were just gathered by different tribes to survive. However, they didn't know what the leader was or what the name was. They didn't even know what an alliance was. This word was proposed by Luo Chong himself.
However, in order to facilitate planning later, Luo Chong still gave them a temporary name. One of the two alliances lived at the junction of the plateau woodland and grassland. Simply put, it was the plateau forest trace line.
This alliance had the largest number of people, with a total population of about 2,400 people. It was composed of 16 small tribes in total. On average, each tribe had only 150 people. It was not big, but not small either.
They mainly make a living by raising livestock. The livestock they raise include blue-gray fur plateau wild donkeys, with a total of about 600. It is unknown how many years they have accumulated them. In addition to wild donkeys, there are also plateau creatures such as alpacas, which have mixed fur colors, such as black, white, coffee, dark brown, and even gray. There are also a large number of them, about 1,800, which are their main sources of animal skins, meat, and dairy products. In addition, there are relatively tall giant deer, but the number is very rare, with less than 200 heads.
In summary, this tribe that is good at breeding is very developed. They are good at taming animals, so their hunting skills have gradually faded, resulting in their military strength not being very strong, but they have a large number of livestock and are good at riding. Based on the principle of running away if they can't win, they have not been destroyed by the cannibals. Luo Chong also gave them a temporary name, the Three Animals Alliance, which is very vulgar but very appropriate.
The other alliance has a slightly smaller number of people, with a total of about 1,600 people, consisting of 11 small tribes. The average population is not much different from that of the Three Animals Alliance, but they are not good at breeding.
The main activity area of this alliance is the junction of the plateau grassland and the southern mountains. They make a living by hunting and only raise a small amount of livestock. Their prey includes saiga antelopes on the grassland and bighorn sheep that like to jump on the cliffs. This is a large wild sheep, about the same size as a donkey.
In addition to these, alpacas, wild donkeys, and bighorn deer are also on their menu, but they are less, especially bighorn deer, which like to wander around the edge of the forest.
This tribal alliance that mainly hunts argali for a living, Luo Chong named them the Argali Alliance. Of course, they also have a small amount of livestock, mainly wild donkeys, with a number of more than 200, all of which are obtained through intermarriage and trade with the Three Animals Alliance.
After listing these important data, Luo Chong quickly summarized them. There are 37 tribes in the two alliances, which is the same number as the number of people in the inspection team. It should be that one tribe sent one senior official.
The total assets of the two alliances are as follows: the total population is about 4,000, about 900 domesticated wild donkeys, less than 200 big-horned deer, and about 1,800 alpacas of various colors. The rest of the animal skins and meat are not included in the assets.
In general, the strength of the two alliances is still very strong. Added together, they can be equal to a Hanyang City. If they can join the Han tribe, Luo Chong is expected to make the total population of the Han tribe reach 20,000 this
year. There is no exact statistics on the total population of Hanyang City, but there are nearly 5,000 people. When the new city was just built, there were more than 7,000 people. In addition, the surrounding labor tribes have been absorbed one after another in the past few months. The population has long exceeded the 10,000 mark. It is estimated that there may be about 11,500. Of course, this does not include the number of slaves.
The number of these people alone has reached 16,000. If they can really absorb the Argali Alliance and the Three Animal Alliance, it is a foregone conclusion that it will exceed 20,000.
And Luo Chong has not counted the number of Ling tribe and many labor tribes in the south of Xincheng. After all, in Luo Chong's eyes, these people are also expected to join the population of Han tribe this year.
"Chief, when can we move here?" Someone in the inspection team asked Luo Chong.
"Well - don't worry, let me think about it. You probably can't move here this year. Let's not talk about other things. First of all, there is no guarantee of living place. Our manpower has a heavy construction task this year. The tribesmen in Xincheng District haven't even built their own houses yet, let alone building houses for you.
The problem of food is easy to solve. If it doesn't work, just kill the sheep. If there is nothing, just buy it from the southern grassland. But if you move here this year, it will take at least two months to go back and forth. After all, it is not as easy as walking by yourself with women and children. In
this case, even if you come, you have to wait until early autumn, and then it will be the tense food storage season. There is no time to prepare a place for you to live. In this case, after you come, It is impossible to spend this winter safely. Without a warm house to live in, people will freeze to death.
Therefore, I plan to relocate in early spring next year. You will start to move here after the snow melts. In this way, you will have a year to do infrastructure construction, that is, to build city walls and houses.
Moreover, all construction projects in Hanyang City will be completed this year. As long as the teaching building and the remaining single-family building are built, they will have nothing to do next year. In this way, I can send them to help you build a new city. It will take a year to build the new city. By next winter, you will have safe city walls, warm houses, and endless food. "Luo Chong gave them a detailed analysis of the current situation and difficulties.
"Then chief, are we considered members of the Han tribe now? Do we have what others have?" A young chief asked Luo Chong.
"Haha, as long as you agree to join, you will be a member of my Han tribe. No matter where you are, you will have the same rights as other tribesmen.
I know what you are thinking. I can promise to give you some things now, white salt, cloth, needles and thread, scissors, iron pots, ceramics, buckets, all of which can be given to you. I can also give you some vehicles for transportation, and I will also send some people back with you.
The first is to teach you to learn Chinese characters and Chinese, the second is to teach you to learn to use those things as soon as possible, and the third is to monitor you so that you don't take my things and never come back."
Of course, Luo Chong didn't say the last sentence, it was just his own thoughts.
