Chapter 165 Making Drums, Blackstone Sends People(1/2)
Looking at the caravan leaving, Wang Wei originally wanted to ask someone to follow where they would go. But considering that the other party did not show clear malice or doubtful places, he dispelled this idea.
But there is a little doubt that the other party is willing to exchange mules for salt, and there is no objection to the proposal to exchange horse for salt.
This may not be doubtful, but it can also explain a problem, that is, the caravan tribes do not lack horses, donkeys, and mules; there is also a possibility that they can exchange salt for more such animals.
At this time, Hu Meizi and the hunting group 134 came over. Hu Meizi heard Hu Meizi say that the king made another bow and arrow, and they also had to practice archery.
Wang Wei asked them to take all the bows and arrows from the carpenter team and let Fox Meizi teach them basic shooting.
Wang Wei has to do something big today. When he was about to hold a small meeting for the carpentry team, Shi Yun, who had left before, came to him again.
She said that the deal with the rat tribe had been negotiated, and they went back to bring the fur food needed by the Xia tribe. But the Pan tribe had some problems, and they did not have any extra cargo collateral, so they could not exchange it.
Shi Yun means to borrow some salt and pottery to them first, and then return it after they go out to complete the transaction.
Wang Wei repeatedly confirmed whether he could trust them, and Shi Yun said it was no problem.
In this case, Wang Wei agreed to Shi Yun's plan and first borrow twenty small cans of salt, ten pots of pottery, pottery pots and other pottery to the Pan tribe. And the goods must be handed over to the Xia tribe within the specified time, if not
After that, the Xia tribe blacklisted the Panshi tribe, and there would be no future.
When Shi Yun left, Wang Wei also asked her to pay more attention to the Pan tribe, not everyone is trustworthy.
But Shi Yun's disregarded expression made Wang Wei a little worried.
Looking at Shi Yun's back, he shook his head helplessly. This was also a very naive and stubborn woman.
When he returned to the carpentry team, he had a meeting with the people in the carpentry team. Wang Wei's purpose was to make cowhide drums.
The carpenter team didn't know what a cowhide drum was, so he had to use soil to make a drum model first and explain to the carpenter team what materials needed, how to make them, etc.
Team leader Xia Huo asked: "King, what's the use of this cowhide drum?"
"Haha, it functions like a horn, but it makes a louder and louder sound than a horn."
Everyone didn't talk nonsense, so they became busy.
Except for the carpentry team, there are basically other tools.
First, determine the size of the cowhide drum. According to Wang Wei's intention, he wants to make a war drum, loud and spread the sound far enough to even intimidate the other party.
Then he polished the wood chips and used natural wood to make drum barrels, which Wang Wei didn't know.
When processing the wood into wood chips of the same thickness, the processed wood chips should be circled into buckets. The drum drum is similar to making wooden barrels.
Make the cowhide of drum skin, cut the cowhide into round pieces according to the size of the drum.
The made drum skin is scalded with boiling water once, and the skin and beef hair are scraped off. After scraping off the fat on the inner layer, it is not enough time to dry it directly over fire. After drying, peel it again, and only peel the skin evenly.
Next is to pull the skin. When pulling, you have to constantly tap the drum edge to make the pulling force even, and finally nail the drum nail.
Wang Wei planned to use iron nails, which made him heartbroken. There were not many iron blanks left.
While everyone was busy, Madam Rong came to the carpentry team. She saw that Wang Wei and the people in the carpentry team were busy, so she said she would come back later.
Wang Wei didn't know how long it would take to make this cowhide drum, so he said he would do her job first.
He and Madam Rong came outside.
"What's the matter with me, Mama?"
"I know the king is very busy, but don't forget my affairs."
"How could I forget?"
Madam Rong blushed and said shyly: "Do you know that the newly built house for me has been repaired?"
"Oh, I really forgot. In this way, I will get the matter done for you tonight, and I will ensure you are satisfied."
After watching Madam Rong leave, she thought that there are so many things going on today. He asked the carpentry team to continue and he still had something to arrange.
Then Wang Wei asked Xia Jin to find the grassroots who were responsible for building the city wall. He arranged for Caogen and Xia Jin to temporarily prepare for the marriage of Rong Mama, Yu Mama and Yu.
He wanted to hold a ceremony, which could be simple, mainly to promote the couple who got married, so that everyone in the Xia tribe knew that they were husband and wife, and that if they were husband and wife, they could live together openly.
The wedding that Wang Wei considered should become a system of the Xia tribe. The marriage process is a standard for the Xia tribe. In the future, the Xia tribe's marriage must be carried out according to this standard.
And asked Xia Jin to notify the old man Yu and Madam Yu to prepare them.
In addition, let the kitchen prepare more food, prepare bonfires at night, etc.
This time, Wang Wei asked grassroots to participate in the situation to make people from Xia tribe marry and let grassroots deal with it. He can't let him do everything. Now that the population is increasing, he must pay attention to the most important things in the tribe.
He guessed that after the construction of the new city, the Xia tribe would have many newcomers who would get married, so the best candidate to host the newcomers would be grassroots.
It has been two hours since I returned to the woodworking room again.
Xia Huo and the people from the carpenter team were nervously beating drum nails.
Wang Wei also joined in and installed and debugged with them.
This drum is 1.2 meters in diameter, 50 cm thick, and weighs forty or fifty kilograms. Due to its large size, it takes two people to carry it.
If there is paint or tung oil, the paint will be kept longer after brushing.
Legend has it that before Huangdi fought against Chiyou, the Nine Heavens Xuannv asked Chang Xian to dream: It is said that there is a Liupo Mountain in the East China Sea. There is a monster called Kui Niu in the mountains. It is like a cow, but it has no horns and only one foot. Once it appears, it is not a scraper on the sea.
The wind is raining, and when it roars, it is louder than thunder. Lei Ze has a thunder beast who lie on his back all day long, enjoying the joy of hitting his claws on his belly. Every time he pats his belly, a huge thunder sounds. Use Kui Niu leather
Menggu uses the bones of the thunder beast as drumsticks. When they hit, the earth will shake and the mountains will shake, and it will be powerful.
Chang woke up first and told Huangdi what happened in his dream. After hearing this, Huangdi ordered people to go into the sea to catch monsters, make 80 big drums with Kui cowhide and 160 thunder beast drumsticks. Before the Battle of Zhuolu, Huangdi had already 80
The Kui Niu drum was ambushed in the dark. When Chiyou's army rushed towards the Huangdi army, Huangdi waved his hand and 80 drums were beating together. Before Chiyou's army could fight, it was shocked by the sound of the drums, and the car was overturned and tilted.
, The army was defeated. The Huangdi army took advantage of the drums and launched a general attack, destroying Chiyou in one fell swoop.
Wang Wei also hoped that the enemy could be defeated by the sound of drums alone, but he knew that it would be absolutely impossible to repel those primitive people and beasts by relying on the sound of drums alone. Only with weapons can these problems be solved.
The thing that happened next was the effect of the test drum. Wang Wei did not want to attract the attention of others in the tribe, so he asked the carpenter team to go to the Hot Spring Valley for testing. There was a little far away from the tribe and was blocked by the mountains around the Hot Spring Valley.
Considering that it was not good to call the cowhide drum, Wang Wei finally named the drum he made 'War Drum'.
------------
Blackstone Tribe.
Afu was worshiping the "God of Heaven" in the cave.
The human figure was placed high on the altar by him, as if he was looking at him, and as if he was telling him something.
Two people suddenly walked in outside the cave. One of them had heavy footsteps interrupted Afu's prayer, and he would finish it directly.
Shan Kui saw Elder Afu's worship and communication with God faster and faster, and often he saw Afu chanting a few words and ended. He was wondering if Afu could not communicate with the "Heavenly God".
Recently, there is a rumor in the Black Stone Tribe that the totem of the Black Stone Tribe "Heavenly God" is not effective and does not bless the Black Stone Tribe at all. Otherwise, how could the Black Stone Tribe fall into this end?
The rumors about the Black Stone Tribe also say that Afu's son defected to the Wild Wolf Tribe. The Black Stone Tribe has declined. If he does not leave the place, he will be annexed by the Wild Wolf Tribe soon.
Ah Fu could not stop these rumors, so he could only pretend not to hear them. But he couldn't calm down in his heart, he comforted himself, and he couldn't be confused when encountering major events.
Shan Kui said: "Elder, Wu... Elder Shi's son Di is here."
Afu turned around and looked at Di and said, "Your father asked you to come?"
"Yes."
"What does he have to say?"
"Dad said that in the opposite direction of the sun rising, you have to walk about two days, then you have a powerful tribe. When Xingzhang escaped, he was caught up, but they were saved by that powerful tribe. Dad said
, If the Black Stone Tribe wants to ask for help, you can go to that tribe. If the Black Stone Tribe wants to leave here, it is best to go to that tribe, because the Black Stone Tribe cannot survive in the Great Wilderness Mountains.”
"I understand. It takes two days to go to that tribe. Is that tribe the Xingchang tribe?"
"I don't know. That night, Langya and Dad saw a lot of people in that tribe on the mountain, and they were very strong. Langya hurriedly ran away after seeing it."
"Okay, I'll send someone. Is there anything else?"
"Wolf Teeth has put pressure on the Sheep Tribe to ask them to lend the Sheep to the Black Stone Tribe."
"Oh, so kind."
"My father gave Wolf Teeth an idea. Let the Sheep Tribe try to borrow more sheep to the Black Stone Tribe, and then the Wild Wolf Tribe will divide a large number of sheep from the Black Stone Tribe. In addition, the Sheep Tribe made a request, and he wanted the Stone Tribe.
Ten women, including gravel.”
Li is Afu's daughter, about fifteen years old, and is a smart girl.
"Don't Wolf Fang want the Black Stone Tribe to leave here early? After he wants to leave the sheep, aren't you afraid that we won't leave here? Besides, I won't let the women of the Black Stone Tribe go to that Sheep Tribe."
"My father said that Wolf Teeth is not afraid of the Black Stone Tribe not leaving, because the Sky Wolf Tribe wants to sacrifice, and the Canglang Tribe has to pass here. If the Black Stone Tribe does not leave yet, the Wild Wolf Tribe will join forces with the Canglang Tribe to attack the Black Stone Tribe again. This is also
My dad is most worried about the Black Stone Tribe."
As soon as Afu and Shan Kui heard about the Canglang tribe, they were so angry that they were itchy. The last time they fought with the Wild Wolf tribe, if it weren't for the Canglang tribe's sneak attack, the Black Stone Tribe wouldn't have lost so badly, and the leader of the Black Stone Tribe wouldn't have been watching.
"I get it, Tsubaki, you go back."
Afu Cang's old body hunched down again.
Shan Kui said: "Elder, they are going to unite again, what should we do?"
"No hurry, isn't there any other tribe?"
To be continued...
