One hundred and fifty-sixth thriving city

Changxing thought the whole thing thoroughly: Only when he died can Zumu let his wife and children go.

A large amount of blood gushed out from the wounds of the throat. He leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes were staring up at the ceiling, and blood foam gushed out from his wide open mouth, emitting extremely blurry and dying last syllables.

"… Tiger… Your Majesty… Long live…”

Both arms completely lost their strength, drooped softly, shaking in the air, as if they had lost the control of the clockwork, and the pendulum under the final inertia.

Silence like death.

Ah Hong saw Zumu's hands trembling slightly, maybe because of fear or anger. They were already familiar with each other, and she knew some of Zumu's habits, which showed that his thinking was at a high level of tension and his facial expression was extremely ferocious.

"...Damn...this damn bastard!" After a long time, Zumu let out a dumb roar that was forcibly suppressed.

Ah Hong glanced at him, then turned her eyes to Changxing's body, and a hint of pity appeared in her eyes: "He is a noble person and deserves respect."

"Great Jiba!" The furious Zumu burst out with dirty swearing and spitted: "He completely ruined my plan. Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be an exaggeration. The leader told me that he would get a few stallions at any cost. Even if he refused, I would have a way to create a new trap and let him fall in. The code... Is suicide awesome? I... I want to tear him into pieces!"

Ah Hong's eyes were slightly condensed, she sighed and patiently persuaded: "Forget it, it's already like this, it's too late to say anything. Later, I will take someone to transport the body out of the city and find a place to bury it."

Zumu obviously didn't listen to Ah Hong's words. He rushed over in a rage, raised his foot, and kicked over the body lying on the chair, but he didn't dare to make too loud noises. He could only hold his throat and scold: "Dog is 1 day, do you think I can do anything about you like this? There are nine districts in Yuanshui City, and each district has a business manager like you. I can still get things back from others that I can't get from you. Damn... You're so damn!"

Ah Hong advised helplessly: "Am, forget it."

Impulse and venting can effectively relieve the nervous nerves. Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Zu Mu felt that the anger accumulated in his chest had been dissolved a lot, his eyes were full of disgust, and he coldly issued an order to Ah Hong: "Take a few people and arrest this bastard's wife and son."

Ah Hong was stunned: "What do you want to do?"

"I said I would sell his wife and son." Zumu's voice was as cold as ice: "A real man, he spits and has a nail, and he has to keep his word."

Ah Hong hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

To be fair, she felt that the disaster was not as good as her family, so she should have let Changxing’s wife and children go.

However, reason tells him that doing so will only put yourself in a more dangerous situation.

"Remember to cut off their tongues." Zu Mu said viciously: "This bastard thinks that death is over? It's not that easy to get off after getting on our ship. The leader once said: Treat the enemy as cruel and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves!"

...

Panshi Village.

Before the official documents on Leijiao City were promulgated, they could only use the title of "city". This is not important. The current total population of Panshi Village has exceeded 25,000. Although most of them are pig people, no one can deny that this is a good place that will be upgraded to "city".

The quiver teeth had woken up from his sleep. He was no longer struggling and was as energetic as before. This means that the spores implanted in the body have been completely integrated with the host. Tianhao saw that the quiver teeth were free to move, and there was no mechanical and stiffness caused by the brain commands and the reflex stagnation of multiple nerves during the initial implantation. He talked and laughed in public without any restrictions.

The Pig people are good at working. As long as they have enough food, they can be called the best strong laborer in the world.

In this cold season where people are released in all directions, Panshi Village is busy and busy.

The amount of peat mining reached an unprecedented height. Under the leadership of Quchi, thousands of pig people were divided into hundreds of squadrons and launched a labor competition among the towering mountains and ridges. The road connecting the mining area was doubled, and a large amount of peat was transported back and transported by caravans to Chiti City, Leijiao City, and even the capital of the cattle tribe, Heijiao City, which is even farther away. The scale of business continued to expand, covering the huge surrounding areas, including tiger tribes, lion tribes, deer tribes, and eagle tribes... Almost all tribes have used peat produced in Panshi Village to more or less.

According to Tianhao's order, the caravan brought back a large number of cattle.

The cattle tribe is the tribe with the largest number of cattle herds among all the northern barbarians. However, the cattle tribe failed to completely monopolize horse trading like the tiger tribe. The size of the bison in this era is far beyond the ancestors of the civilization era, with a height of more than two meters, and the basic appearance characteristics are not much change. The only thing that is eye-catching is the horns, which are almost straight forward, as if two sharp knives ready to attack their opponents at any time.

The huge herd of cattle lives throughout the northern continent. The barbarians have been catching and taming this beast since early on. They pierced the bison's nostrils and passed through a rope, and used this cruel but very effective method to let it follow its butt obediently without any knowledge... Apart from the ancient memory that has been preserved from the genetic level to this day, it is impossible to find a second reasonable explanation.

The old priest and Xu Kun were almost busy these days.

All areas around Panshizhai need to be surveyed to select the most suitable areas for cultivation. By the beginning of next spring, these land will be distributed to each household. With enough oxen, there will be a good harvest in the coming year.

The happiest person is the pig tribe.

Axi and Ayi are very close to each other. There are too many common topics between women, especially Axi has just given birth to a child, and most of the time has to lie in bed for confinement. Axi’s family affairs are arranged and he takes time to accompany her every day. One spins thread and the other breastfeeds. Axi learned from Axi about the changes in Panshi Village from the past to the present. Every time he talks about Tianhao, Ayi’s eyes will shine and his tone will become worshipful. Axi looked at her and found it quite funny, but admired the young leader who led everyone to become powerful.

On a long and cold winter day, Axi learned the various rules of Panshi Village through Ayi and understood that those behaviors were taboos that could never be touched. Some of them could understand, while others felt confused. But as time went by, she would always get used to it and would always become part of the logical framework.

The pig man is gradually integrating into the life of Panshi Village.

"Have you heard that, we are about to divide the land. In the future, just pay 30% of the amount of food to grow."

"You're wrong, only 30%... How is this possible? When we were in Fanggu City, we were at least 60%.

"That was before, it's different now. You don't see who is the leader now. I heard that Ah Hao bought a lot of plowing ox from outside, and then every household will be able to share one."

"Really? You didn't lie to me?"

"What are you lying to? I heard Qu Chi and A Xi say..."

The most important thing in transforming a specific group is the intervener. The reason why Tianhao chose the curved teeth as the implantation object is based on this consideration.

Black teeth are also one of the candidates for implantation. But compared to curved teeth, it has less advantage. It is mainly because of its age.

The spores are very precious, and Tianhao himself doesn't know when the next mature spore will be produced. The flexural teeth are younger than the black teeth, and can be used for longer and more cost-effective.

He even considered choosing a pig woman who could barely see it as his partner. This is equivalent to a benchmark and also shows his attitude as a regional ruler. Everyone treats everyone equally and has no racial prejudice.

There are two important tasks this winter.

Tianhao has increased the number of people going up the mountain to quarry. At present, there are insufficient houses, especially the lack of tall and spacious living rooms suitable for pig people. This problem must be solved as soon as possible.

A large amount of peat provided sufficient fuel for the brick kiln, and the iron ore transported from Shanyuanzhai increased the raw material base. The construction method of mixed steel and masonry structures was very popular in the civilized era and was strong.

Secondly, it is road construction.

As early as last summer, Tianhao sent two teams to survey the road from Panshi Village to Leijiao City. After calculation, the distance between the two places was about 700 kilometers.

As the king, Niu Weibang will not regret it since he agreed.

This is not a simple project: dig soil, use large pieces of rock as roadbeds, fill gaps with gravel and soil, and finally lay them on with more finer stones mixed with melted asphalt, and use human or animal power to drag the huge round stone mill to walk on several times.

Asphalt is not difficult to find, and this kind of thing is everywhere in the mountains. Tianhao thinks this should be caused by the impact of the asteroid on the earth, causing violent crust movement, and squeezing leads to a large amount of oil eruption. He has surveyed many asphalt mines and found that as long as he digs downward to a very shallow depth, oil can seep out.

He was thinking about how to use this thing... Judging from the current situation, he would first transport the asphalt from the mountains to build roads.

Zhilin was a member of the pro-guard team last spring. Tianhao carefully inspected that he had no problems with loyalty, was cautious and cautious in his work. For the sake of comprehensive consideration of the future, Tianhao set up a small oil refinery in the mountains, with Zhilin as the supervisor.

The local refining method is actually very simple. Some of the villages are blacksmiths. The cattle tribe has unique skills in metal forging and alloying technology. According to Tianhao's requirements, Tong Biao and his men built several special distillation boxes. This thing is actually a large thin-shell iron box. When used, it is opened, poured in the oil dug out of the ground, and then ignited it to extract the available light oil by heating and distillation. (The basic method of anti-government refining in the Bay Area.)

Tianhao provided Zhilin with twenty people, and later increased to fifty. The refined refined oil was placed in large clay pots, and Black Tooth and his men dug a cellar nearby to store these things.

The process of a group's strength must be accompanied by killing and war. As for the use of oil as the powered internal combustion engine... To be honest, it is too far away from the northern barbarians. Tianhao believes that the most suitable primary machine for Panshizhai is the steam engine. Unfortunately, he has never found rubber or similar substitutes necessary for making steam engines.

The extracted light oils have a low ignition point, and their biggest use is military. Tianhao felt that it could be further expanded, so he ordered some people to separate from the Panshizhai brick kiln and build a new kiln group on the north side. There is also a rich layer of clay, which is convenient to use local materials. According to Tianhao's requirements, people fired a batch of special clay jars about the size of a fist, wide and round at the upper end, and long at the lower end, which are easy to hold with one hand. The inside of this jar is hollow, and there is a hole the size of an adult (barbarian) thumb on the top.

Although everyone did not understand what this strange-looking clay pot was, no one violated Tianhao's orders. The fired clay pots were piled up in the cellar and arranged neatly.

For a long time, Tianhao has been racking his brains to improve the armed forces of Panshi Village as much as possible.

Technology is not only productivity, but also a crucial combat power.

Replacing cold weapons with hot weapons is a must-pass path for civilization evolution. Although I have never been to Lock Dragon Pass and have never seen with my own eyes what the legendary southern white musketeers look like, this does not prevent Tianhao from thinking about it himself. Based on the current information in various aspects, the guns used by the southern white people are still very primitive, and the technological level is equivalent to the combs of the civilization era. This kind of gun is very poor in accuracy, complex in operation, and long shooting distances... But no matter what, it is a gun after all.

History has proved that when it comes to shooting accuracy, frequency, lethality, distance and other factors, this kind of convex gun is actually not as good as a bow and arrow. But its biggest advantage lies in its scale.

A skilled archer takes several years, or even more than a decade, training period.

Musketeers are different, they can be used in a few days.

Taking three hundred people as an example, in one month, the bow and arrow trainees may not even be able to grasp the basic principles, but the musket trainees can quickly form an army.

There are too many lessons in history that overwhelming quantity.

Fortunately, the northern barbarians have been using bows and arrows since childhood, which has become their instinct in daily life.

In fact, Tianhao is not willing to expand the scope of use of bows and arrows. But there is no way. At present, the biggest problem that restricts his muskets from becoming universal is sulfur.

The barbarians were not as stupid as they thought, and there were many wise men among them. Take the bull clan as an example. Whether it was the great master Wu Peng or the king of Thunder Horn Niu Weibang, they were all firm supporters of muskets. The war between the barbarians and the white southerners lasted for hundreds of years, and they had a deep understanding of muskets and gunpowder. In order to steal the gunpowder formula, the barbarians died many people. All ethnic groups sent people to investigate the territory in their early days, looking for natural sulfur, but found nothing.

In contrast, there is a lot of saltpeter, and there is even a Glauber's salt mine site with a large reserve within the Niu tribe territory.
