Pan looked at Xia Qi's back, as if he was a little daughter-in-law who had been fucked, and her eyes were full of resentment.

He was also too naive. He didn't expect that the clan leader would trust him so much and give him full authority for such a large project.

"Hey, this is my bad luck."

Xiong patted his head in annoyance. He had no choice but to find more than 20 soldiers and went to the location of the foreign tribes together.

At this time, the territory of the Xia tribe in the west has reached the vicinity of the Gobi Desert, and most of the foreign camps are concentrated in the east of the Xia tribe. It is close to the Daxia Lake and can catch some fish without going hungry.

With Jingguan as the boundary, the west is the territory of the Xia tribe, and the east is home to a large number of foreign tribes, large and small, as far as the eye can see.

These tribes are not monolithic. If it were not driven by cold and hunger, some people may never meet each other in their lives. They are wary of each other. The tribes seem to be close to each other, but there are obvious dividing lines.

Seeing Ban and his friends, the originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Ban and his friends cautiously.

There is no way, the Xia tribe has always been too overbearing. Not only did they use Jingguan to intimidate them, they also set up a border line. Anyone who dared to cross the border line and enter the Xia tribe's side would be executed regardless of the reason.

The Xia tribe maintained its rule in this area in such a brutal way.

Seeing the cautious and malicious looks in these people's eyes, Pan didn't care at all.

"You guys are really lucky. Our clan leader is planning to build a city wall. As long as you join the construction team, each of you will be rewarded with a fish every day. You can move your residence to the territory of our Xia tribe and receive our protection. You will be given priority to join when the time comes.

Xia Tribe, you only have this one chance. If you miss it, you will have no place to regret it even if you want to."

After Pan Jiang said this, he turned around and left, seemingly not caring about the reactions of these people at all.

In fact, this is something I have learned over a long period of time. Sometimes, the more someone cares about the other person, the more likely they will be. On the contrary, if they act indifferently, the more they will please the other person.

.

Pan's words immediately caused an uproar among these tribes. It would be a lie to say that they were not moved by such favorable conditions. However, due to the Xia tribe's domineering behavior before, they were worried that this was a conspiracy. If the Xia tribe used this as an excuse

If you kill all of them, there will be no room for reasoning.

A group of people were noisy for a long time, but in the end they didn't come up with a solution.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can have a full meal, I will die!" Some people couldn't sit still and shouted loudly, leading their tribesmen and approaching the capital step by step.

This was a man with a rough face, and he had more than a hundred people under him. After packing up his things, he led his tribe towards the location of the Xia tribe.

I saw him walking to the Jingguan position first. In the past, this Jingguan was regarded as a great fear of death, but the man just glanced at it and walked past the cordon.

A large group of people behind him opened their eyes wide. In the past, anyone who dared to cross this Jingguan would be shot to death by the Xia tribe without hesitation.

But this time, the Xia tribe did not attack. Seeing the man leading his tribe farther and farther away, the other tribesmen realized and rushed to follow.

Some unsuspecting people heard the noise and saw a group of people running towards the Xia tribe. They quickly shouted: "Hey, what are you doing? You don't want your life!"

"What the hell, you didn't call me for such a good thing?" But when they heard that the Xia tribe was recruiting people to build the city wall, they immediately shouted and chased after them.

.

However, there are also some guys who think they are smart people, looking at these guys running towards the Xia tribe in a hurry, they have a look of disdain on their faces.

"Humph, a bunch of idiots, how could that Xia tribe be so kind? I'm afraid they won't even know how they died."

A large group of people happily ran to the Xia tribe, but not all of them would be selected to build the city wall. Only those who were young and strong would be eligible.

But then again, it has been more than two months since winter, and there are not many old and weak people left who can persist until now. These individuals have been arranged to work with the fishing team, and each person can get half a fish a day.

reward.

Half a fish is not enough to fill the belly, but it will not starve to death.

In just half a day, Pan recruited more than a thousand people. It can only be said that Xia Qi underestimated the temptation of this food. If it were not for the powerful guards, I am afraid that the current Xia tribe would have ceased to exist.

Ban did not let these people work directly, but first divided an area for them, indicating that this was the place where they would live and rest in the future, and then distributed a fish to each of them.

Seeing that they were given food before they started working, the people who were still a little worried finally felt relieved.

After these people devoured the fish, Ban said that these people should rest early and start working tomorrow.

Pan then called for people from the construction team, and also brought two horses. This guy was really planning to build a city wall wide enough to accommodate two horses running side by side, just as Xia Qi said.

In the hands of the members of the construction team, each person holds a straight tree trunk, which is their measuring tool.

Because taking into account the construction of what the clan leader said...the female wall, Iwami calculated the width a lot more.

After calculating the width, Pan drew traces on the ground with a bronze spear, and he will use this as a basis to build the city wall tomorrow.

At present, the weapons of the Xia tribe are still the same, including battle axes, copper spears, and feather arrows, but the axes, spearheads, and arrow clusters have all been replaced by copper ones.

It's not that Xia Qi doesn't want to update the tribe's weapons, it's just that the texture of copper is too soft, and he plans to wait until bronze is obtained before forging new weapons.

It's just that bronze is not a purely natural mineral, but an alloy. To smelt bronze, you need to combine red copper with another mineral, but it is not available in the Xia tribe for the time being.

Xia Qi once asked the Qingyan tribe specifically, but the answer he got from the other party was no.

Xia Qi didn't know whether the other party was telling the truth, but the appearance of the Qingyan Tribe's weapons was indeed very different from bronze. Bronze, as the name suggests, was green in color, but the Qingyan Tribe's weapons were

It is silvery gray in color, and its hardness is far inferior to bronze.

From this point of view, the Qingyan Tribe does not seem to be lying. Or, maybe the Qingyan Tribe actually does have that kind of ore, but they don’t know it. In order to prevent the Qingyan Tribe from noticing, Xia Qi had no way to tell the Qingyan Tribe.

They describe the appearance of that mineral.

Therefore, the plan to smelt bronze and forge bronze weapons can only be shelved indefinitely.

When a group of people from Congpan were measuring the width of the city wall, a group of people were watching from a distance and did not dare to get close. While they were watching, they were still guessing what the group of people was doing.

Early the next morning, the temporary camp suddenly became a mess. As for the reason, many people woke up and found that the fish they had hidden well before going to bed had disappeared.

"Tell me, did you steal my fish?"

"Are you blind?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

?Are the fish that you didn’t see me gone too?”

"Fart! This is obviously my fish!"

"Hey, there's a fight! There's a fight!"

Because of a fish that was left uneaten, the group of people instantly became a mess. Seeing that the incident was about to get bigger and bigger and affect other people, Pan finally came with a group of people.

"Everyone stop, what are you doing!"

Pan scolded, and the bronze spear in his hand continued to dance, and the spear shaft hit the two fighting people like raindrops.

"He stole my fish!" Even though the two were separated, a half-grown boy still complained.

The person he accused did not speak, but looked at him with dark eyes.

Currently, these people are not considered members of the Xia tribe, and Pan is not used to them. He scolded them directly: "I don't care what the reason for your dispute is, but I don't want to see you again, otherwise, all of you will

Get lost!"

The half-grown boy did not speak, but looked angrily at the man who stole his fish.

Pan was too lazy to settle these lawsuits and just said coldly: "Now, if you want to work, follow me. If you don't want to, get out of here!"

A group of people lowered their heads and said nothing, but no one left.

There is food here and it is safer. They would be stupid to leave.

Pan led these people to the location where they were surveyed yesterday. At this time, the two lines drawn by Pan on the ground had been replaced by stones.

Pan said to these people: "Your task is to pick up branches and fill the space between the stones."

A group of people looked at Pan blankly, without reacting for a while, until Pan shouted:

"Go quickly!"

The group of people dispersed in an instant like frightened chickens.

There are a lot of branches and wood around the camp, and I don’t know how much is abandoned by the felling team every day.

Soon, a fire broke out, but those people continued to collect wood.

The reason why I did this is very simple. The weather is so cold and the ground is frozen hard. If I can't dig much in a day, I might as well bake it with a fire to thaw the ground first, so that I can dig more.

Ban divided these people into two teams, one team was responsible for collecting wood, and a group of people were distributed with shovels and pickaxes. After the fire burned out and the temperature dissipated, they would start digging into the soil that had thawed and softened.

When the soil below becomes hard again, continue to fill the wood below, and the cycle starts again.

In just a few days, these people dug a trench more than a thousand meters long and more than half a man deep.
