Chapter 45 New Arrangements
"Chongshan, you stay at the Black Moon Camp and ensure the safety of the camp. Dashi and the others and I need to go back to the Salt Lake Camp."
As the strongest individual combat force in their tribe, generally speaking, whenever Zhou Xu went out, Zhou Chongshan would definitely follow him to ensure the safety of their leader.
But now their "family business" is slowly expanding after all.
The Black Moon Camp is the camp that they will focus on developing in the future, so its importance is self-evident. Zhou Xu doesn't want his camp to be raided the moment he turns around.
For this reason, he must also take the safety of the camp into consideration.
Not to mention that Zhuang Mengdie, an important backbone, is also in the Black Moon Camp.
So, after some simple weighing of the pros and cons, Zhou Xu decided to let Zhou Chongshan stay in the Black Moon Camp to ensure the safety of the camp.
Of course, this doesn't mean that he doesn't care about himself.
The distance from Black Moon Camp to Salt Lake Camp is not far, and it is sandwiched between the two camps, so the probability of danger occurring is not high.
Under this premise, he himself now also mastered the true meaning of 'skeleton control'.
Let his entourage carry the skeleton on their backs. Even if something goes wrong, with the help of this mantra, he can ensure that he can escape safely even if he is defeated.
Without further ado, after arranging things, everyone set off quickly and arrived at the Salt Lake Camp before dusk.
"leader!"
Before arriving nearby, Zhou Xu sent a tribal member back to the Salt Lake Camp to inform Fei Que, who had been staying there, of what had happened there.
At this moment, Fei Que had already been waiting outside the camp. As soon as he saw Zhou Xu appear, he immediately came forward to greet him.
"Fei Que, I'm not in the Salt Lake Camp during this period. Thank you for your hard work here."
As Zhou Xu spoke, he patted Fei Que's shoulder.
"It's not hard, it's all for the tribe!"
Walking into the camp, after many people followed Zhuang Mengdie and the others to the Black Moon Camp, the Salt Lake Camp became noticeably quieter.
On the edge of the salt lake, two tribal members were digging the saline soil on the salt belt, then sifting the saline soil to filter out the salt crystals.
This job does not require too many people, after all, their daily salt consumption is actually not that much.
Excluding the salt used every day, there is now a considerable amount of stock stored in the pottery jar, so there is no need to consider extracting salt crystals from the lake water in the short term.
After briefly introducing the salt mining work here to Dashi, the group turned and walked towards the mine located in the center of the black forest.
Compared with the current salt mining work which does not require much manpower, the main manpower in the salt lake camp is invested in coal mining.
Among them, the main labor force for coal mining comes from the Black Moon Camp.
A more accurate statement came from the group of prisoners of war in the Black Moon camp who had previously had an armed conflict with them.
After being captured and surrendered, they were sent to the mines to do hard labor in coal mining.
Of course, Zhou Xu did not treat them badly. He provided them with meals every day and their daily routine was basically the same as that of the other tribal members.
Dashi, who was following nearby, didn't have any idea about this.
Because from Dashi's perspective, if you want to have food to eat, you have to work, which is a natural thing.
"The mined coal ores will be stored here first. Later, I plan to organize a transport team from the Black Moon Camp to deliver the polished stone picks and food to the Salt Lake Camp, and then bring the mined coal ores and salt to the Black Moon Camp."
"Being in charge of the Salt Lake Camp, in addition to keeping an eye on the output of these two areas, my main job is to ensure the safety of the camp."
Having said this, Zhou Xu paused and turned to look at Dashi who had been following him the whole time.
"Daishi, I plan to let you take charge of this camp. What do you say?"
Dashi is not a fool. Ever since their leader took him with him when they set out today, he has been wondering if their leader has anything to arrange for him.
Now it turns out that this matter has completely exceeded his expectations.
Faced with these sudden words, Dashi was stunned where he was.
You know, it's only been a few days since he surrendered? Just handing over the Salt Lake Camp to him? How much courage does it take to make such a decision? !
This state lasted for three seconds, and then Dashi suddenly reacted and said excitedly...
"Don't worry, Chief! I, Oishi, will definitely get this done!!"
Undoubtedly, this was an opportunity. If their leader dared to use him, there was no reason for him not to accept it! After he accepted the offer, he remembered Fei Que who was still standing beside him, and then he looked at him awkwardly.
After all, don’t forget that before this, the person in charge of this salt lake camp was Fei Que.
This time, I have taken the other party's position.
However, what Dashi did not expect was that Feique, who was standing there, was in an extremely calm state. When he noticed his gaze, he nodded at him, as if he had already known about this matter.
And the actual situation is indeed like this. Zhou Xu is not stupid enough to do something like disregarding the feelings of his old subordinates and directly removing their positions and replacing them with new people.
Long before he came, he had already sent someone back to tell Feique about this matter.
Fei Que's talent is 'execution expert', and having him around can better bring out his value, and he really needs such a person with high execution efficiency by his side.
Under this premise, there is only one person who can exchange with Feique and take charge of the Salt Lake Camp, and that is Dashi.
Having understood what their leader meant, Fei Que naturally had no reason to feel unhappy.
"Very good, keep up the momentum. I believe you can do it. However, since you have become the leader of the Salt Lake Tribe, it is not convenient to continue calling me by a name as common as 'Da Shi'."
Zhou Xu was undoubtedly well prepared for the name Dashi.
"Shi Lei, from today on, your name will be Shi Lei."
Shi Lei, four stones, are just a little bit of his bad taste.
Shi Lei, who was unaware of the evil intention behind this, naturally thanked him excitedly.
During this time, Feique, who had been very calm before, now cast an envious look at Dashi because of his new name.
Zhou Xu smiled as he saw this scene.
"Well, you have it too, how could I have forgotten you?"
"Thank you, Chief!"
As he said this, the expression on Fei Que's face became almost visibly excited. Before Zhou Xu said his name, he had already thanked him, which was enough to show his impatience.
"I have thought about your name carefully. Feique, Jinghong, your name should be Ye Jinghong!"
