Travel to a Primitive World to Build Infrastructure

Chapter 119

Views:

The Xinghuo tribe does not popularize English, and only a very few people have learned it so far, so it is most suitable to pass on secrets.

Lancao stated in the letter that the Western Continent has not given up its coveting of the Xinghuo Tribe, especially the Xinghuo Tribe has also produced wine, and the quality is better than most wines in the Western Continent. The voices against Xinghuo are getting more and more responses in the Western Continent. .

With more and more items from the Xinghuo tribe, people in the western continent are more and more envious of the wealth of the Xinghuo tribe.

Now many people in the Western Continent are beginning to regret why they occupied and plundered the Xinghuo tribe before they were thriving. Now the Xinghuo tribe has become a very powerful tribe.

Not only do they have powerful iron weapons called artifacts by the people of the Western Continent, but they also have many brave and skilled soldiers. It is simply an impossible task to conquer.

Especially now that there are still high walls and a deep and wide moat with fierce beasts inside, there is nowhere to start.

Yang Yi also learned from Lancao's letter that their Xinghuo tribe was safe and lucky before. There were many factional disputes in the Western Continent, and each city was involved with each other.

Although there is the royal court as the central control, it is obvious that this control is very weak.

Therefore, no city is willing to send out its sharpest troops, lest other cities invade just after leaving here.

"The God of time travel still loves me very much." Yang Yi was very emotional when he saw this.

When he crossed here, he didn't encounter too many bad things, and the overall situation was very smooth, so it was able to build so well and so quickly.

"And me." Black Hunter inserted unwillingly.

He even felt that God loves him more than Yang Yi, otherwise how could such a person be sent to his side, and he could sign the life and death contract so smoothly.

Heihun used to think that what he did was a very wise choice, directly and simply for mutual benefit, but after reading a lot of books, he discovered that the people on earth have much more complicated ideas than they do.

They are more suspicious and sensitive, and those like Yang Yi who are willing to trust from the beginning are a minority.

Although part of him was forced to be helpless, and he had no other choice if he wanted to survive under the circumstances at that time, it was still his luck.

Otherwise, they would be suspicious and afraid of each other at the beginning, and it would take a lot of time to get in touch, and I'm afraid they don't know whether to start construction now.

Yang Yi laughed: "Yes, we are all very lucky."

"Since the Western Continent is so free, I don't mind finding something for them to do." Black Hunter's eyes darkened slightly.

Lancao said in the letter that the managers of the various city-states in the western continent were going to gather for a meeting to discuss how to deal with the Xinghuo tribe.

The specific content has no way to understand at Murray's level, and it is definitely not a good thing anyway.

Especially with the establishment of the new city, there must be many spies from the Western Continent in it.

Compared with the Western Continent, the people of the Eastern Continent know too little about the situation in the Western Continent, and the information is completely unequal.

The infiltration situation is even more incomparable. Murray is probably the first person from the Eastern Continent to infiltrate the Western Continent.

"What do you want to do?"

Hei Lie smiled: "The world is prosperous, it's all for profit; the world is bustling, it's all for profit. They can gather together this time to attack us for profit, so what if I let some people profit. "

The big cities in the Western Continent have a high degree of autonomy just like the tribes, but they are more closely connected with each other and have a central government.

However, this central government is far inferior to the Xinghuo tribe's control over the new city. It is only because the royal court has greater territory and resources, and is involved with each other through marriage, so it has become the head of power.

The various city-states are only due to the fact that the royal court is powerful, and there are many city-states that have good relations with each other, so everyone is more concerned about face, rather than representing a lower level than the royal court.

The city-states don't even have to pay taxes to the royal court, and the royal court can't mobilize soldiers from each city-state, they can only negotiate.

Therefore, they have constant internal disputes, and there is no strong central government to command.

"To sow dissension?" Yang Yi quickly understood Black Hunter's intentions.

"Although the meanings are similar, those words are too unpleasant. We are not that despicable." Hei Lie said righteously, "At most, they just treat them differently. As for their conflicts between each other being intensified due to jealousy or other emotions, It’s out of our control.”

"No matter how you describe it, the goal is the same." Yang Yi laughed.

"I propose to target those intersex people first. Since they are so willing to compromise to get benefits from us, we can't force them."

Lancao's letter mentioned some city-state caravans who had a completely different attitude towards the Xinghuo tribe when they were in the Xinghuo tribe.

A large part of the Starfire Tribe's reputation was ruined by these people.

Now many people, including nobles, still feel that the Eastern Continent is very barbaric and barren, and that the Xinghuo Tribe is an evil existence.

Although he is happily using the items brought from the Xinghuo Tribe, he also despises the backwardness of the entire Eastern Continent to enhance his sense of superiority.

These are nothing more, they are the loudest when they are against Xinghuo.

Black Hunter nodded: "They will be the first choice."

The implication is that further adjustments may be made for the sake of the overall situation.

Yang Yi has no objection to this, as long as the goal can be achieved, the West Continent will not care about them.

"Besides, I think we've been too conservative these years. We should let them know how strong we are."

If possible, Yang Yi doesn't want a war, even if they have a great chance of winning.

Even if they could benefit from the war, Yang Yi didn't want to do it.

As a Chinese, I have always disliked this kind of killing and plundering behavior, and I am more convinced that creating wealth with both hands, mutual benefit and joint construction is the means of long-term development.

Hei Lie is also very aware of Yang Yi's thinking. Although he is aggressive, he also doesn't like killing each other.

"The next big trade fair, we can show them our powerful weapons."

The Spark Tribe has been actively researching various weapons, after all, safety is the first element.

Now their smelting technology has gone further than before. Although the smelting machines brought by Yang Yi before have been damaged, they already have substitutes.

The efficiency is not as high as those machines, but the purification ability is still very good.

It has even begun to study how to make steel from books, and some achievements have been made so far.

In addition to ironware, he also studied the powerful offensive weapons in books, such as crossbows and so on.

These are not detailed enough in the books, and are developed by the technicians based on the general description a little bit.

Now it is possible to produce a ballista that can be controlled by two people and can shoot hundreds of arrows at the same time.

The range is long and powerful, and several vehicles are launched side by side, shooting at the enemy like a rain of arrows.

The accuracy was not good enough before, so it has not been displayed, but now the error is much smaller, and it can already be used.

In addition to cold weapons, the research on gunpowder has not stopped, and has achieved great results.

There is no way to achieve the effect of killing a large area with one blow.

However, it can still have a lot of power, enough to frighten people.

Yang Yi and Hei Lie quickly worked out a plan for the Western Continent. In a nutshell, it was to mess with themselves and make them suspect each other and dare not send troops; the second was to show their strength; the third was to benefit the obedient city-states , making them unwilling to disrupt the current order.

The collapse of the Xinghuo Tribe does not mean that everyone benefits, and more is still in the hands of those powerful city-states.

Yang Yi did not participate much in how to operate. He has never been good at and does not like to participate in these struggles. He is still happy to build and farm, which makes him feel more fulfilled and interesting.

On the layout of Black Hunter, Yang Yi put all his heart and soul into the construction.

The new city gradually stabilized, and more and more people defected to it. When the number of people in the new city reached 50,000, the canal or, to be precise, the artificial river was finally dug through!

"The water is coming! The water is coming! We made it!"

Everyone cheered as they watched the torrent of water rushing down the river.

Yang Yi stood on the high wall and looked into the distance with the few binoculars that were already there, feeling very excited inside.

With the development of the tribe, although the well water can temporarily meet their needs, it obviously hinders the development, and it is very hard work to water it.

The water needs to be constantly pressed for each irrigation, and the amount of activity is still very large in a day, and the speed of the water flow is quite limited.

Usually they also pay attention to collecting rainwater, etc., but it is not as convenient as the river.

Now the water has been diverted, and the waterwheel has been made before the introduction, so that the water in the canal can be transported to high places for irrigation.

Not only that, but also designed a water mill to save labor by using water flow. It is convenient for pounding rice, pressing oil and so on.

This canal is not just for irrigation, but also to utilize the river.

Therefore, when excavating, it will also design how to use the impact of water flow to further improve efficiency.

"Mystery, the water mill has already started to move! It is exactly as you imagined, and the rice can be pounded without human beings!"

"The waterwheel also transports the river water to the fields, so we finally don't need to keep pumping water to plant paddy fields in the future! As long as the waterwheel turns, the water will rush into the sky!"

"With so much water, there is no need to worry that if the groundwater is empty, we will have no water to drink!"

Everyone excitedly reported to Yang Yi, although they had already expected what would happen after the canal was opened.

After all, water wheels and water mills have been planted by the canal very early, and small models were made for testing before production.

Later, these small models became children's favorite toys, so everyone is no stranger to them.

But the feeling of seeing it work is still completely different. Everyone cheered excitedly, still feeling that everything is so incredible.

Yang Yi was also immersed in joy. The canal was dug through, bringing not only water, but also better development around the canal.

"Envoy, someone is coming over with a bamboo raft!"

Yang Yi was surprised. He looked through the binoculars and found that someone was supporting the bamboo raft.

"Jing, this fellow is still so unsteady when he becomes the city lord."

Hei Lie, with excellent eyesight, quickly saw who the leader was. Although there was condemnation in his words, the tone was very appreciative.

"It's really them!" Yang Yi also quickly saw clearly that dozens of bamboo rafts were lined up in order, coming from afar.

It took a long time to plant bamboo while digging water canals, but the bamboo shoots have not been able to officially become a dish, just to allow a large amount of bamboo to grow.

Now there are tall bamboos beside the canals, which are not only beautiful scenery, but also bring vitality.

Bamboo can not only produce delicious bamboo shoots, bring small animals such as bamboo rats, but also make a variety of daily necessities, and can also make paper, etc., which are very useful.

Now it can also be made into bamboo rafts for transportation.

Yang Yi and Jing walked down from the fence, Jing also got off the bamboo raft, and bowed in front of Yang Yi as soon as he came.

"Envoy of God, we have returned from the waterway!"

Yang Yi helped him and Rong up: "You guys are so bold, you dare to come here just after the water comes through, and you're not afraid that the fast current will blow you away."

Rong laughed loudly: "We have been scattered several times along the way, but this is a river built by our tribe, and it will not drown the people of the tribe!"

Hei Lie clenched his fist and slammed it: "You guys are really there, how long did it take?"

"The speed is about the same as riding an ostrich, but we almost didn't need to use our hands, and we were rushed directly. Although it is a bit dangerous, it is much more comfortable than bumping on the back of a bird."

Jing sighed, with this canal, the transportation between each other will be much more convenient. But going back is not so easy, it belongs to upstream.

This time Jing and Rong were not only for sea trials, but also brought something that Yang Yi had been looking forward to—fish.

"We originally brought a lot of fish, but we scattered all the way, so now there are only a few left."

Jing introduced, and Yang Yi discovered that there was a large net tied behind each bamboo raft, and there were many small fish in the net, but there were also some big fish in the net.

"These fish are highly reproductive, but not so aggressive, and their taste is quite good. I think they are very suitable for breeding in the canal."

The excavation of the canals is also exquisite. They divert water from the big river deep in the wasteland. There are a lot of fish in it, but many of them are very fierce.

In order to ensure better reproduction of the fish in the canal, they did some processing on the interface connecting the wilderness river, and spent a lot of iron to intercept those terrifying and big fish.

"There are so many pleasant things today!" Yang Yi was finally able to see fresh fish in Yicheng.

I didn't know why before, but it was very difficult to bring fish from other places, and they often died during transportation.

No matter how strong the vitality of the fish is, it will not be able to persist in the Xinghuo tribe. Even if there are a few occasionally, the taste is not very good.

Now that there is a canal, let them stay in the water all the time, so that Yang Yi finally saw live fish in Yicheng.

Yang Yi has already listed N kinds of fish production methods in his mind. Although he can usually eat fish if he wants to eat fish, it's just that they are not so fresh.

When it comes to eating, Yang Yi is still very picky when conditions permit.

Hei Lie saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I cooked all these big fish today, so that everyone can eat fresh fish!"

Everyone cheered.

In the evening celebration, all the big fish brought by Jing and his party were made into various delicacies. As the tribe became more and more prosperous, the cafeteria had more and more tricks every day, and the taste became better and better.

Yang Yi also suggested before that there are so many people at present, and many of them are married and have a small family of their own.

Then do you need to start the stove separately, so that you can make some things you like by yourself without having to eat a big pot.

The food in the cafeteria is very good, but they are all big pot dishes and big pot rice, which is definitely not as delicate and suitable as your own stir-fry.

As a result, almost everyone disagreed with this approach. They thought it was a very happy thing to be able to eat in the cafeteria.

After all, most people have not received professional training, so they can't make the taste like a canteen.

Moreover, metal is very precious. They can only have clay pots to cook food, but not frying, etc., and the things they can make are also single.

It's better to eat in the cafeteria, which is not only delicious but also very convenient. They only need to finish their own work, and then queue up to get food when eating. How easy it is!

Those who are interested in cooking basically enter the cafeteria to develop their specialties, so they don't need to open small stoves in private to satisfy their cooking interests.

Therefore, except for a very, very small number of people who do it themselves occasionally, most people still like to eat canteens, and hope to continue to do so.

Big pot rice is the integration of resources, which is actually more economical than cooking for one person.

As a result, the cafeteria continued, but a cooking area was also specially built, so that people in need can go there to cook what they like.

It was the first time for the tribe to have so many fresh fish. The chefs in the cafeteria showed their skills in pickled fish, fish head with chopped pepper, boiled fish fillet, fresh fish tofu soup, grilled fish, etc., in various ways.

Yang Yi eats it really well. He has always liked fish, but he is a bit picky and only likes to eat fresh ones.

No matter how good the dried fish is, he can eat it, but no matter how he does it, he can't offset the status of fresh fish as a delicacy.

He has always hoped to raise fish in the tribe, not only to enrich the diet of the tribe, but also because of his own greed.

"Another goal has been accomplished." Yang Yi sighed and took a sip of wine.

He seldom drank alcohol before, but since he brewed the wine with Black Hunter, he would take a few sips from time to time.

The wine they brew is very delicious. Although Yang Yi can't taste wine and can't speak so many professional descriptors, he still knows what is good.

Yang Yi also divided some of his first winemaking results into the space. If he could go back one day, he wanted to bring this wine to his father to taste.

Dad likes wine very much, no matter what kind of wine he likes, but he drinks less when he gets older.

"This is just the beginning." Hei Lie gently touched him with the wine glass.

Yang Yi looked at the bright starry sky in the sky: "That's right, the combined population of the two cities now is only in the early 100,000s, and there is still a long way to go from the goal."

Black Hunter sat down beside him: "It will happen one day."

This sentence is not consolation, but fact.

The progress in the Western Continent went very smoothly. While the people there had no time to take care of their side, it also allowed Murray to show his skills.

He has already begun to use materials to gather more and more slaves, preparing to open up a place to build a new city.

It is impossible for Murray to overthrow the slavery system in the Western Continent. The power of one person is too weak.

However, it is possible to establish a city that can create a new order by itself.

Murray's team is getting bigger and bigger, and Yi Cheng and Rong Cheng are used as references, which will make his progress smoother.

Although everything is not easy, it is not impossible to accomplish.

On the Eastern Continent, more and more tribes and people have come to seek refuge.

Now that the canals are built, it is more convenient to cultivate fertile land and can feed more people.

Achieving the goal is only a matter of time, and there is no rush.

The number of people is easy to reach, but to maintain stability and food and clothing, you have to go step by step.

"If I say that I'm already satisfied with what I'm doing now, don't you think I'm too ambitious?"

Yang Yi looked at Hei Lie with a slightly ashamed expression on his face.

To be honest, although the city has been established, a large area of farmland has been reclaimed, and the fruit trees planted before have begun to bear fruit and become edible, there are still many areas that need to be improved.

But Yang Yi didn't have as much motivation and drive as he did at the beginning. Although he still enjoyed the process, he had to admit that the freshness was much less.

Hei Lie hugged him tightly, with firm eyes:

"It's great that you've made it this far, and it's us who should be watching next."

"You really think so? In fact, there are still many places to be improved."

"Of course." Black Hunter is very sure, "The framework has been set up. If you need a little guidance even to supplement, then we will worry about the future instead. The construction of a city has never been done by one person. It should be done by other people." People have digested and learned little by little.”

Yang Yi smiled. He has been here for five years, and he has watched this place transform from the wilderness into the current city.

The weeds are gone, replaced by rows of houses and patches of farmland.

Before I ate the last meal, I didn’t know the next meal, but now the warehouse is full of piles, and every day I think about what to order in the cafeteria today.

Yang Yi's heart was full of satisfaction and pride, even if he kept telling himself, it was far from enough.

Compared with life on earth, this is simply too far away.

But I still feel that his hard work has reached a stage, and he started to feel tired when he was not so passionate at first.

"I want to rest."

Yang Yi considered for a moment, affirmed his inner thoughts, and finally spoke.

After saying this, Yang Yi let out a sigh of relief, feeling that the invisible shackles on his body were loosened.

In the past five years, he has been thinking about how to build it every day without stopping every day. He has been nesting in this place and rarely goes out for activities.

To be honest, he has never stopped like this since he was a child. What is called a weekend or a vacation does not exist at all.

Occasionally I want to be lazy, but when I think that there is still a lot of work to do, if I don't finish it, the whole tribe may be hungry, and I will get up no matter how tired I am.

For Yang Yi who has been idle all the time, these five years are really rare.

Hei Lie paused, and kissed his forehead lightly.

"Persist for another year, okay? When some things come to an end, I will arrange everything and accompany you to where you want to go."

Yang Yi laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The tribe lost us at the same time. This is going to be a mess."

"We always have to let go."

Yang Yi held Hei Lie's hand: "That's not now, the tribe hasn't really stabilized yet, and I don't want our hard work to be wasted because of my willfulness."

"Then wait for this day to come and fulfill my promise today. I believe this day will not be too long, and I will not let this day come too late."

Yang Yi smiled brightly, his eyes were like stars: "Okay, I'll wait."
