This is the seventh day of the caravan's departure.
According to the calculations of Great Elder Tushi, the caravan should return today.
Zhou Li'an was not in a hurry.
During these seven days, he silently observed the life of this tribe, and at the same time gathered five or six children to learn Pinyin.
The number of people doesn’t need to be large, just take one group at a time.
After all, Zhou Li'an came to found the country; he did not go to the primitive society of 1400 to support education and do good things.
This is just like the big bosses in China going to Africa to do charity.
It's charity in name, but in fact it's asking the local niggas to work hard to make money for themselves.
In contrast, Zhou is more charitable.
Others do it for their own selfish desires. While he does it for his own selfish desires, he is also laying the foundation for the colonial war a hundred years later.
If something happens, I am really serious about it and will never run away!
In seven days, the tribe harvested 106 bison skins; including the accumulation in the previous three days, the total reached 147 and 18 wolf skins.
In the words of the hunting team, the gray wolves around are almost being killed, so the number of harvests has declined.
Zhou Li'an doesn't care. Wolf skin costs 2,500 knives and bison skin costs 4,200 knives. The key is that the latter's population is huge and he doesn't have to worry about the air force.
Now he is just waiting for the caravan to return and replenish his depleted wallet.
Then, the big moves began.
The weapons used by the Indians were mostly made of stone, mainly volcanic obsidian, with a small amount of red copper.
The recent high-intensity hunting missions have caused the hunting team's weapons and tools to be depleted very quickly.
Smelting steel is still a relatively distant dream.
Zhou Li'an didn't intend to teach them local smelting methods. Instead of wasting time teaching and studying, it was better to purchase them directly from the living world.
When he returned home in the past few days, he had already contacted a cutting tool factory in Honshu.
There is no need to think about ancient swords at all. In modern times, those things are more like works of art. They can easily cost several thousand yuan, which is an IQ tax.
Unless you find a manufacturer with the corresponding technology to make customized molds, there is no need to make such a fuss at this stage and keep everything simple.
What Zhou Li'an wants is an iron spearhead and a watermelon knife.
The craftsmanship of small items like spearheads is simple. Since they are purchased in large quantities, the price is not that high. After getting them back, they can be used directly by replacing the aboriginal stone spearheads.
The watermelon knife is a melee weapon.
It is not very helpful in hunting buffalo and is not as useful as a spear, but when it comes to wars between tribes, it can be a great weapon.
The aborigines did not have long blades, so they either used stone axes or stone daggers for close combat.
Blunt blows are completely useless when it comes to non-fatal injuries. Stone daggers sometimes cannot even penetrate leather armor, and are more like a group of people hugging each other and fighting in a group.
With the watermelon knife...
The system's crude way of saying it is: [I, the leader of the gods, the master of balance, the leader of Oregon, the captain of the machete team...]
Let’s go.
The main reason is that it is of high quality and low price. Even if the blade is broken, it can be used with any sharpness. If you want to replace it, you can always make it in large quantities.
At least it can increase the combat power of the Tushi Department by a large margin.
However, Zhou Li'an was not in a hurry to make a decision. He planned to go there to inspect the quality because the processing plant was in Eugene, the city where the warehouse was auctioned before.
Night falls.
Zhou Li'an ended today's class.
The snow girl's mother brought food to the master and servants, and then left quietly, not daring to disturb them in any way.
The Tushi tribe is a semi-agricultural, semi-fishing and hunting tribe. Their ancestors decided to settle here because of the favorable conditions in the Tushi Valley.
There is cultivated land behind the mountain, where corn, pumpkins, potatoes and other crops are grown.
But the main source of food is fishing and hunting. Taking Yuki Onna's former tribe as an example, their staple food is mostly salmon from streams and made into dried fish. Occasionally, they will organize hunting teams to attack a small number of lone herds of bison.
However, due to the prosperous population of the Tushi tribe, they are not close to fishing, and bison meat is their main food.
Among the tribes, only the rich and powerful can enjoy fresh crops, while the middle and lower classes still eat meat.
This leaves fellow compatriots in the country at the same time with absolutely no place to reason.
After dinner.
Snow Girl smiled and leaned next to Zhou Li'an, calling like a baby: "Master~~"
After getting along with her for a few days, the little girl's personality finally showed her true colors, of course, this was only in front of Zhou Li'an.
Once there are outsiders around, the Yuki Onna is the tribal shrine maiden who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people.
Zhou Li'an looked at her helplessly: "You are not allowed to eat today."
"Master~~~!"
"Why are your teeth so yellow?"
"Well." Xue Nu lowered her head, no longer daring to be disobedient. In fact, she was just pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy.
Sure enough, Zhou Li'an sighed, pointed in the air, and a round chocolate wrapped in golden tin foil fell on the bed: "Eat it, eat it, I will bring a toothbrush over tomorrow!"
Yuki-onna doesn't care what a toothbrush is.
Seeing chocolate is like seeing a brand-name bag.
[If you are so disgusted, wouldn’t it be a good idea to take her back to have her teeth cleaned?]
"Shut up!"
"It costs 9,999 US dollars to travel across the country. I thought it was a round-trip ticket, but you told me it was a one-way ticket? What kind of smuggler are you? Smuggling from Vietnam, I heard it doesn't cost that much!"
[The snake head traveled across the Pacific Ocean, and I traveled through 600 years of time and space. Can it be the same? 】
[Besides, you still have the number of times you need to draw the big wheel once a month which is useless. 】
Zhou Li'an has not forgotten this incident.
However, he plans to save up until the last day of the month to smoke, and then wait until 12 o'clock to have a double draw.
After taking one last look at the snow girl who was enjoying her meal, Zhou Li'an was ready to leave.
However, he didn't wait for him to call out the system.
Suddenly there was a noise in the valley. The snow girl was licking the chocolate residue on her lips. The chief elder of the tribe stumbled in...
Plop.
It's not easy for the old man either. He knelt down and landed in front of Zhou Li'an——
"Praise my Lord!"
“Praise for balance!!”
"My lord, my lord!! Great victory, great victory!"
When Zhou Li'an heard this, he knew that the caravan was back.
Can we say a big victory?
What big victory?
Zhou Li'an was confused for a moment and glanced at Xue Nu in confusion, wanting to hear her answer.
The snow girl also looked confused.
"Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat!"
"Master~! Xue Nu knows that she is wrong. Master can punish her in any way he wants!" Xue Nu was so frightened that she knelt down beside the great elder.
The great elder was also confused now.
how?
Why is my lord unhappy?
Zhou Li'an didn't say anything. He couldn't figure it out, so seeing is believing.
He stepped out, followed by an old man and a young boy.
The great elder whispered: "Witch, why is my Lord angry?"
The snow girl was very panicked.
She can't say that it's because of my gluttony that makes my Lord angry, right?
Her face was stern: "Great Elder, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked!"
The great elder quickly lowered his head, and he did not dare to be disobedient to the snow girl.
Because to this day, he can dream about that day every night, when the snow girl was tied to a wooden pillar, screaming and cursing fiercely.
After a while, divine punishment came!
Yuki Onna is the only person who can understand the oracle. Even though our Lord has accepted them, Yuki Onna's status remains unshakable.
When the three of them walked to the altar.
A large group of people outside the mountain were just entering the valley.
The bonfire had already been lit, and people began to cheer and cheer, praising the bravery of the soldiers and the glory of our Lord!!
Shanshan led his cronies to arrive first. His face did not look tired after a long journey, but was still in the afterglow of excitement...
Poof, everyone knelt down and worshiped.
Climbing the mountain raised his head and shouted loudly——
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance!"
"It is all the glory of our Lord that shines to protect our humble people and return with great victory!"
"Report to my lord...the two tribes of Earth Snakes have been destroyed by us!! Bring all the slaves back!! Wait for my lord's fate!!"
Zhou Li'an was confused and stared outside the valley. Sure enough, he found a crowd of fanatical warriors, surrounded by a large number of people who looked frightened and uneasy, like walking zombies.
