The huge prey was towed to the shore by a fishing boat.

Tianhao had already received the news and stood on the tower and looked out into the sea.

The guards surrounded him and walked down the tower to welcome the landing warriors.

A tough captain bowed to Tianhao, raised his hand and pointed his red nose, and said respectfully: "Sir, he is the best harpooner on our ship."

Tianhao looked at Chijiri with an unpredictable look: "I must reward you. You are the first person to throw a harpoon and shoot this whale. You are qualified to choose your favorite thing from it."

This is the ancient hunting tradition of northern barbarians.

"I want its teeth, the biggest one!" The red nose and eyes were red, and the excitement pushed blood to accelerate the flow of blood in the body like flames. The high-pitched roar was enough to make everyone around him hear: "Thank you God, thank the city lord, it is your gift that has made my glory."

Cutting whales is a technical job. Tianhao has no experience in this area, but he knows that a whale body contains a lot of fat. In addition to whale meat that satisfies the appetite for mouth, the greatest value of this fat man swimming in the sea is fat. This thing has even become the basis of the industrial revolution in some countries in the civilized era. Especially in the early Age of Discovery, in order to save space and transportation costs in the ship, many whaling ships hunted whales and landed near the dock, refining oil on the hunted whales, abandoning useless corpses, and taking away the most valuable parts.

Barbarians don’t care so much. Moreover, in Tianhao’s opinion, whales can be used all over their bodies, and no place is garbage.

The whales in this era are huge in size and weigh at least one third more than their counterparts in the civilization era.

The right whale in front of me was measured to weigh 200 tons. People set up wooden escalators on it, climbed up with their hands and feet, swung a huge steel axe, and slashed hard at the surface of the hairless and smooth whale skin.

In the history of the barbarians, a special protective gear called "dragon-skin armor" appeared. It is said that the material comes from the giant beasts in the sea. Because it is far away, it can only be compared with the mud templates passed down. Although the ancient lines are blurry, it can still be seen that it is a kind of whale in the sea. This shows that whaling activities have been carried out very early, but they have never been able to form a scale, and the prey is therefore covered with a mysterious color.

The outer skin of cetaceans is extremely hard and has good toughness. Tianhao doesn’t need to worry about the work of rubbing and making armor. The barbarians have a complete set of quick and efficient production processes.

As the skin was peeled off, the white fat was exposed to the air, which caused everyone present to exclaim. The fat reality seemed to them to feel uncomfortable at all, and some people couldn't help but stick out their tongues to lick them. Some people cut small pieces with a knife and stuffed them into their mouths and chewed them carefully... This terrible scene made Tianhao feel chilled. He tried to control his desire to vomit, walked over and asked those guys who were intoxicated by the deliciousness of the oil: "How does it taste?"

On such occasions, no matter how unpalatable the food must be delicious, not to mention that the barbarians have an unusual preference for animal fat. Tianhao has seen them cut off the fat meat from the giant horned deer and fanged pig, sprinkle them with coarse salt, and ferment them naturally for two weeks. Then, the salty and thick lump oil was cut into thick slices, sandwiched in the dough, bit it hard with an indescribable sense of happiness, and chew it in big mouths.

Much like the Russian Salou in the civilization era.

The same is true for the whale blubber to cut into large pieces of half a meter square. The men with red upper bodies stacked them layer by layer like bricks, loaded them on empty trucks waiting next to them, tied them with ropes, and transported them to the city.

They will complete the subsequent workflow there: women and the elderly will cut them into thick slices, sprinkle salt, string them up with ropes, and hang lean meat in places where the sun cannot dry, and put fat meat in the jar, and press the surface with large washed rocks to make salt-cured fat with salt.

Tianhao does not like this kind of crude food, but all the northern barbarians regard it as a treasure.

All cartilage is left to be used, they can come in handy, but it is not yet time to achieve its value.

The hardest cetacean bones are handed over to the blacksmiths to deal with. Among the barbarians, there are artists, and many of them know how to carve the carving process. As long as they are used in the right place, their value will exceed everyone's imagination.

People who are used to frugality have not even let go of whale blood. They do not mind whether this blood will solidify like animal blood. The common method is to mix fish blood and animal blood with noodles, mix various chopped wild vegetables and vegetables, scattered minced meat, bone meal, and various things that can be regarded as food. Chop into a ball of fist, spread it flat, and dry it in the sun, and it can be stored for a long time. If there are many, it will be enough for the family to eat for a long time.

The first whale is the starting point.

Tianhao knew very well that as Panshi City requested the ocean... or the level of development was fully expanded, it would bring more surprises to himself in the future.

Such as sperm whales, and ambergris.

The barbarians have little demand for spices, at least for now.

If you look far, cross the mountains and reach the distant south of the continent, and the strange and hostile white country there, it may cause a bloody storm that is the same as in history.

Human desires always expand with material abundance.

I woke up in the worst era, but lived in the best period of civilization fault.

It is a good thing that the barbarians do not use currency on a large scale.

Otherwise, the current financial situation in Panshi City will definitely deteriorate to a level that it will collapse.

Thanks to the gods, people here don't like money.

...

Guangsheng, the leader of Pinglinzhai, arrived at Panshi City with his grain team.

The scale of the alliance continued to expand. In addition to Pinglinzhai and Shanyuanzhai, more than a dozen small villages in the surrounding areas also joined in. Tianhao gave them generous treatment, mainly trade between material exchange, iron ore, peat, salt, grain, and cloth.

Before the autumn, Tianhao sent messengers to all villages of the alliance, asking for dried fish and salt to exchange for grain. The price was 20% lower than usual, but he promised to purchase ore and peat at a higher price next year. The young city lord has a good reputation, and with the strong strength of Panshi City, the members of the alliance agreed.

Guangsheng hasn't been to Panshi City for more than half a year. This city seems to have surprising changes every day. This time, there are also people everywhere, and there are so many that they can't count them. Guangsheng feels that he has never seen so many people in his life, and even those prosperous tribes are not as good as here.

Guangtao followed his father closely. His young face showed shock and fear, and his voice was very low: "Dad, there are so many people... Ahao... Did the city lord send troops to win which tribe?"

Guangsheng tried hard to control the horror deep in his heart, pretending to be calm and shook his head gently: "I don't know, there is no news about this. If anything, Ah Hao wouldn't have hidden it from me."

Guangtao did not agree with his father's words: "It's hard to say, after all, people's hearts are all in the belly. Dad, you forgot that this time he not only asked us Pinglin Village to exchange grain, but the same is true for other villages. Logically speaking, Panshi Village has enough arable land area, and they can also produce cloth by themselves, so they should not be short of food!"

Guangsheng did not express his opinion on this, and he knew very well that his son was right.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go to see Ahao first and hear what he said." After thinking for a long time, Guangsheng made a decision.

...

The meeting was no different from usual, and the hospitality was just as rich in the city lord's office.

A smile has become a sign on Tianhao's face: "Thank you Brother Guangsheng for your help, come on, I'll give you a cup."

You can’t drink too much precious cider. Although it is a banquet for Guangsheng’s father and son, the number of each person is only three cups.

Guangsheng was a little anxious. He put down the empty cup and he went straight to the point: "Ahao, tell me the truth, have you done anything big recently?"

Tianhao's smile was unfathomable: "It seems that you know something."

Guangsheng did not hide his point of view and nodded: "There are too many people in Panshi City, many of which are new faces I have never seen before."

"They are troops sent by the king, and Mishui City of the Buffalo tribe. The combined number of people on both sides is more than 100,000." This is not important information, you can find out by just going out and asking around.

"Hundreds of thousands!" Guangtao was shocked by this huge number.

"The King and Mishui City..." Guangsheng took a breath. After all, he was old and experienced. He hurriedly approached and asked seriously: "Are you going to fight?"

Tianhao's attitude was very calm: "Our target is the pig race."

"Pig tribe?" Guangsheng recalled the last time Panshi City swallowed the entire steel teeth, and subconsciously said: "Which tribe are you planning to deal with this time? The Fierce Teeth, the Wind Teeth, or the Black Teeth?"

Tian Hao smiled leisurely and said, "We want to deal with the entire pig race, which is what the king means."

In the latter sentence, he was very pronounced.

An awkward smile appeared on Guangtao's face, and a deep sense of loss surged in his heart.

This is a huge plan.

I have witnessed Panshi Village becoming Panshi City with my own eyes. Now, this city has grown into a giant that stands tall and must look up to. The gap with Pinglin Village is getting bigger and bigger. Over time, will the so-called "alliance" still exist?

Tianhao's speech reveals an extremely important message: "We" is a pun of meaning, meaning more than two collaborators.

More importantly, Tianhao mentioned the king.

After a long period of cold weather, the room was quiet. Guangtao looked at his father worriedly and found that the corners of his eyes were twitching slightly, and fear appeared in his deep eyes.

After a long time, Guangsheng finally spoke: "Ahao, do you still need food? If not enough, I will let the people below tighten and find a way to transfer a batch for you."

Tianhao kept watching Guangsheng's expression change.

He smiled and said, "You'd better keep it yourself! Panshi City is not short of food at present. Haha... Brother Guangsheng, there are two thousand people in Pinglin Village now?"

Guangsheng didn't understand why he suddenly changed the subject and talked about this. He nodded carefully and replied: "I just ordered the number of people last month, 2,048."

Tianhao spoke very directly: "I need manpower now. After dinner, you will go back and bring 1,200 people to me."

"...What do you mean is to let Pinglinzhai join the war?" It took Guangsheng half a minute to understand what this sentence means.

"This time you win, you can get at least a thousand pig captives." Tianhao smiled and lowered his voice, looking unfathomable: "This is a secret, don't reveal the news. If someone asks...haha, I won't admit that I have said these words."

Guangsheng quickly turned his head and looked at his son sitting on the side, and found that Guangtao was so shocked that he could not speak. He quickly turned his attention to Tianhao and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand!"

This is what the league host should look like.

"Prepare the army and prepare for war!" Tianhao raised his hand and put it on Guangsheng's shoulder, slapped it meaningfully: "This battle will determine our future destiny."

...

In the past and in the next few weeks, Tianhao has been and is about to have several similar private conversations.

All the villages that formed alliances around Panshi City were pulled in, which was a gift from Tianhao to the leaders.

Countless historical examples have proved that eating alone will not end well.

Tianhao never doubted that the decisive war against the Pig tribe would fail. He made careful arrangements for this and deduced every detail in all aspects.

The biggest problem at present is the distribution of spoils.

The plan was made by me. Everyone in Panshi City was busy for a long time. The fishing grounds and docks were running at full power for 24 hours. The whole city was filled with salty fish and fish... There was no doubt that Panshi City had made great efforts, and regardless of the degree of preparation or the collection of materials, they accounted for 70% of the total proportion.

If prisoners were distributed after the war according to this ratio, Panshi City should get 70%, and Mishui City and Leijiao City each share 15.

In fact, it is impossible to be so fair.

Panshi City can get up to 40% of the spoils, Mishui City and Leijiao City each divided into 30%. This is only acceptable to Zonggu and Niu Weibang for the huge expenses in Panshi City.

One is a very important collaborator.

One is the king of the clan.

No one on both sides can offend.

Tianhao can only find ways to increase his distribution chips from other aspects.

Directly asking for more will only cause disgust between Zong Ju and Niu Weibang. Once the cooperative relationship breaks down, there will be no next time. The King of Thunder Point will also have suspicion or even suspicion about himself. Maybe at some time in the future, he will also be labeled as "rebellion".

Then you can only bring in all the villages and villages around Panshi City that have joined the alliance. One is counted as one, and no one can miss it.

Taking Pinglinzhai as an example, the population under Guangsheng's rule has steadily increased by more than 2,000 in recent years. His willingness to take out one-third of the stored grain itself shows his attitude. Tianhao is of course willing to support such obedient and tactful people.

Let them participate in the war, and as an alliance force, Pinglinzhai is qualified to share some of the spoils.
