Chapter 697 Manpower
This time, Shao Xuan and Duo Kang brought a total of 200 people, and they couldn't take them if they were too many.
There is also a member of the genius tribe in the team - Qingyi, who was an intermediate totem warrior back then, and now he has been promoted to high-level. Qingyi used to take the team out for trading, and he is considered a very experienced person among the people of the genius tribe. Moreover, Qingyi's eyes are brown. In the genius tribe, people with this color of eyes have a relatively gentle temper, not prone to being irritable, and not reckless.
This time, Qingyi took the initiative to ask Shao Xuan to accompany him. He had taken the team to the Pu tribe for trading many times before, but the real-time journey did not count. That distance was really like a joke compared to the distance traveled by other tribes. Therefore, when Qingyi saw that Yan Jiao was going to travel again, he asked to follow his fellow travelers and go out for a long experience.
If nothing unexpected happens, Qingyi is already the next leader who is appointed. When Fanmu leaves office, Qingyi will take over. How to say, the next leader of a tribe should have a broader understanding, but the scope of activities of the tribe people is too small, and many things are only known after the Yanhe trading area is established, and it is limited to hearing. Therefore, Qingyi wants to seize this opportunity to go out and see what the real journey is like.
Unexpectedly, this time the trip to Yanjiao was much further than the trip to other tribes. Qingyi not only did not give up, but was looking forward to it more. The Yanjiao tribe has a kind of water and sun stone, which was obtained from the sea. If he had the chance, he also wanted to see what was there.
Shao Xuan did not refuse. Qingyi could control his temper, not impulsively, and not talk nonsense about what should be kept secret.
When Shao Xuan and his men arrived at the Changzhou Tribe, they flowed through the river of the Changzhou Tribe and blocked a long section. However, few long-distance teams took boats to go there, and Shao Xuan did not see the ship blocked there.
He received the news that the Yanjiao people finally arrived. Mu Wu, the leader of the Changzhou tribe, came out of the tribe quickly.
"You are finally here!" He had received a letter from Yanjiao, eager to do all the preparations, and even blocked the section on the river to protect the ship.
Before they merged with the fire, they agreed to the conditions for Yanjiao, and this time the people from Yanjiao were going to sea. This was exactly the wish of the Changzhou Tribe.
They have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Everything was ready and waited for several days before seeing the ship from Yanjiao coming.
"You guys are too slow!" Mu Hu complained, "When will we set out? We can drive the boat at any time!"
Shao Xuan looked up the river. When he came to Changzhou Tribe, there were many large and small ships docked on the river in front of Changzhou Tribe, and now, all the others disappeared. Only fifteen ships were docked there, ten large ships and five small ships. Of course, that was only relative, because the five small ships were as big as the two ships given to Yanjiao by Changzhou Tribe, and they should have been made in the same batch.
Shao Xuan suspected that when he was delivering a boat in Changzhou Tribe, he might have greater ambitions. He even hid something better in secret. Now, he finally saw it.
The ten large ships were twice as big as the ships Shao Xuan and the others were on now. At first glance, they were newly built and had never been used before.
After the fusion of the fire, the ambition of the Changzhou Tribe seemed to have been ignited.
If Yanjiao hadn't proposed going out to sea this time, the Changzhou tribe might not have exposed these ten ships so early.
"Why, are you scared?" Mu Fau saw Yanjiao and his group look surprised or amazed, and his face showed a glamorous look, "How many boats do you think we will take out?"
"What? I thought it was a small boat? Are you kidding? Is it sure it was a long trip to sea instead of going out to play?... I thought there were only ten boats? Why? Do you look down on our Changzhou Tribe? When did our Changzhou Tribe travel only a small ten boats?!"
When Shao Xuan was chatting with Duokang and the others, he went into the boat to visit. The internal construction was similar to the two ships sent by the Changzhou Tribe. Both ships were designed with watertight compartments, and the masts and sails were improved, making them more suitable for traveling in places with strong winds and waves.
I'm afraid no one would have thought of a tribe in the inland, thinking about how to go out to sea.
Because he was in a hurry to go out to sea, the long-distance team of the Changzhou tribe was led by the leader Mu Faul.
Without the original fire, after the fusion of fire, they can leave the tribe for a longer time without worrying about their strength deterioration. There were nearly 300 people from Changzhou tribe who followed the woodcut this time. On average, there were only about twenty on each ship, and twenty people, but they could control a large ship very well.
Manpower rowing? If you need it, aren’t there still people with Yanjiao?
The ship was already full of supplies, enough for them to roam outside for a long time. The Changzhou tribe does not have as much jerky meat made of ferocious beast meat as Yanket, but they have other substitutes, such as some grains unique to their tribe, which never trades outside and is only kept in their own hands. Only the teams traveling far away every year will bring some. For this trip, because of the little preparation time, they bought many other foods from other tribes that can be stored for a long time.
Not only Changzhou people were anxious, but Yanjiao people were unwilling to delay, so after the Changzhou tribe was repaired overnight, the team set off early the next morning.
The ships of the Changzhou Tribe were in front of them, and they were familiar with the waterway and led the way in front.
Among the people traveling, Shao Xuan also saw several acquaintances, such as Mu You. The Changzhou Tribe traveled most of the time on the boat and ran around the rivers. You must also have the knowledge you should have. Observing the astronomical phenomena is a skill that many crew members need to learn. They can judge the weather as soon as possible, and prepare in advance to reduce losses. Mu You, the elder of the Changzhou Tribe, is considered the best in judging the astronomical phenomena, but Mu You dare not look directly at Shao Xuan. When he was looking for green-faced and fangs in the ferocious beast forest, Mu You was slapped in the face by Shao Xuan.
Now the two tribes are cooperative and related to their interests, Mu You will not directly show his face, but it just seems awkward. He tries not to contact Shao Xuan. When he sees Shao Xuan, Mu You will remember the slap in the face at that time. He, the best person who judges the celestial phenomena, made a mistake! The most embarrassing thing is that most people chose to believe Shao Xuan but not him! Fortunately, not many people know about this.
Shao Xuan asked for another ship from Changzhou tribe, but there were not a large ship, and there were still many small ships in Changzhou tribe.
Because he was in a hurry to go out to sea, the logging tree did not hesitate and agreed generously. In order to make up an integer, he directly transferred two more ships. Although they were used, there was no quality problem. The Changzhou tribe still attached great importance to the maintenance of the ship.
Twenty ships, which are rare in this place, are quite large, especially the ten ships that are at the forefront, which are quite eye-catching.
There are always many people who stop to watch the place where they pass, and wait until the twenty ships leave and can no longer see them. Shipbuilding also requires talent, so why are the ships of the Changzhou Tribe not easy to sink? The secret involved is not a little bit. Even if someone imitates and creates such a shape, he cannot create such quality.
Moreover, this time, I used some new bronzes to buy at Yanjiao at a high price in the Changzhou tribe. They could not get the new bronze, and the Yanjiao people would not be stupid enough to tell them the secrets in the new bronze. The Changzhou's ship was also needed by Yanjiao, so there would be such a mutually beneficial transaction.
The Changzhou Tribe's people would rather use stone tools than cut corners on the ship. Therefore, Shao Xuan could believe in the quality of these twenty ships. If anyone could build the most secure nautical ship now, it would probably be the Changzhou Tribe.
Of course, outsiders don't know about the transactions.
Those who stood on the shore watching the fleet thought it was another major operation by the Changzhou Tribe, but those who were careful found that it was not the case. There was also the Yanjiao Man in it.
Why do you know the Yanjiao people? Because of the transaction area and the king beast behind, Yanjiao has become popular on this continent for a while. Now many people know the flame totem logo of Yanjiao.
Following the waterway guided by the Changzhou Tribe, the fleet arrived at the grassland. The grassland was very large. Without the guidance of the Changzhou Tribe, Shao Xuan would not know that there was such a waterway here, which was a route that Shao Xuan and the others had never taken.
While sailing forward, Shao Xuan perfected the map.
The further he went, the deeper the doubt in Shao Xuan's heart.
The tribes living on both sides of the river on the grassland seemed to be no longer surprised by the behavior of the Changzhou Tribe. At most, they were just amazed at the shipbuilding skills of the Changzhou Tribe. When they could only use canoes or rafts, the Changzhou Tribe could already build a ship that was many times larger than the largest tent of their tribe.
Except for the fact that it takes a little more effort to go upstream, there are no big obstacles along the way. One is that there are very few giant beasts threatening in the river in the grassland, and the other is that the tribes living here are familiar with the Changzhou Tribe, and they are unwilling to provoke the Changzhou Tribe people.
When he reached the end of the grassland, Shao Xuan also met the people returning to the tribe.
When Shao Xuan set out from the tribe, he asked Zhazha to bring a letter to the Hui tribe. Now Zhazha is waiting here with the people who returned to the tribe. The Changzhou tribe will follow a few people to prevent encountering other giant eagles on the mountain. If there are people returning to the tribe, it is a little safer to avoid the attack of giant eagles on the mountaineering area.
The river winds forward among the mountains, Shao Xuan asked the woodcut, "In the past, there was really such a route from the long boat to the grassland and then flowing through these mountains?"
Mu Da paused and looked at the river flowing in front of him, as if it was passing through time and space. "Of course there was no such thing as it was. The reason why it could flow was because our Changzhou tribe was opened by itself!"
Otherwise, why can it be smooth all the way to this day?
"What do you think our Changzhou tribe's fleet travels every year?" said Mu Di meaningfully.
Many rivers originally had no intersection, but because of the people of the Changzhou Tribe, they were intertwined.
Connecting the most suitable river and exploring the most suitable waterway, Changzhou people planned all this!
Manpower has created this route to the sea! (To be continued.)
