Chapter 273 Looking for a reason, the evildoer Chi(1/2)
When returning to the Xia tribe, Wang Wei also went to the Huangshi tribe to see the stones picked by the people.
Because he didn't know whether the stones were gold or copper ore, his curiosity made him have to go back and check it out.
Cao Kezi asked:
"King, who do you think of those who pick the stones?"
"Cao Huzi, you asked me, I don't know."
"Then what's the use of picking stones?"
"That depends on what ore those stones are, just like the iron tools of the Xia tribe. From the color point of view, it may be gold or copper or other ores."
“What are the uses of gold and copper mines?”
Wang Wei simply popularized the values and characteristics of these two stones, and briefly explained their use areas.
"Then can our Xia tribe occupy that mine?"
Cao Kezi's words reminded Wang Wei and everyone.
Yes, who said that the mine belongs to other tribes? The Xia tribe can also occupy it.
No? Then speak with your fists.
"I have to think about it carefully. There is no country yet. These mines are not owned by anyone, but at the same time, these mines are also owned by everyone."
"King, what is a country?"
Wang Wei wanted to tell this group of primitive people that the country has a common language, culture, race, territory, government or historical social group. But he was afraid that they would not understand, so he said:
"The states all originate from the clan. The clan leader is the chief priest of a clan, and he is also the leader of a clan."
Xia Feng said:
"I understand, just like the king is the leader of the Xia tribe. If the Xia tribe is a country, the king is the leader of the country."
"The leader of the country sounds awkward, but the meaning is almost the same."
Wang Wei dared not fantasize like this. The Xia tribe is still very weak now.
Xia Cheng, the hunting group seven, met the king, Xia Feng and Cao Kezi, who were in front, and also caught up with the back team.
Xia Cheng became the leader of the hunting team because Wang Wei discovered that he was not talking, and also found that he was also a person who liked to study herbs. His understanding of herbs is even better than that of bird eggs.
Wang Wei intends to train military doctors to ensure that the Xia tribe's army has medical doctors in the future, because he cannot be worried every time he goes out, and no one will treat him after being injured.
Mei is a woman, so he can't follow the team outside and blow the sun. Her tasks are different, and she is mainly responsible for the hygiene and health of the Xia tribe.
Xia Cheng asked: "Will the Xia tribe become the Xia Kingdom in the future?"
Everyone wants to know too.
Wang Wei thought for a while and said:
"If Xia tribe was big enough, maybe it could."
“How old is it?”
Wang Wei thought it would be that simple to become a country? They couldn't understand the complexity, so he simply said:
"First of all, the population should be large enough. Are there many people in our Xia tribe? Not many at all, ten or hundreds of such Xia tribes can't do it."
Everyone was amazed after hearing this, saying that there were not many people like that?
They feel that there are many people in the Xia tribe now, and some people don’t know each other.
"Also, there needs to be enough land for territory we can control."
"Don't worry, the king. This great wasteland is big enough that we can completely treat it as our territory."
"That's right. This great wasteland can be from the Xia tribe. The so-called capable ones go up, the moderate ones give in, the poor ones go down, and the inferior ones go down. Hey, Xia Feng, you have found a reason for us to occupy that mine."
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
When he arrived at the Yellowstone Tribe, Wang Wei only took the hunting group two to head towards the quarry-picking valley.
They did not ride horses and walked on foot.
As they approached the group of people, several people flashed out of the valley and stopped them. They looked at Wang Wei and others vigilantly.
Wang Wei asked:
"We passed by here and saw you hitting stones. I wonder what the stone is for?"
"Leave, please find out less about our affairs."
When the hunting team saw that the other party dared to talk to his king, they immediately became angry.
Wang Wei hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, it's nothing, they don't know me. Do you know that they will say things on the wasteland?"
Then he asked those people, "You are tribes from this nearby, right? Do your tribe have items that can be traded?"
"No, we don't trade with strange tribes, and you don't seem to be the ones who trade."
Wang Wei knew that these people did not look like they were in a deal, but he would not give up.
"Are your leader here?"
"Haha, in this place, I am the leader. Go quickly, or you will be captured and mined for the Leopard Tribe."
Wang Wei knew the name of their tribe, which was transliterated as the Leopard Tribe. It sounds like a big tribe.
Xia Feng observed from the side and suddenly said:
"King, they are not digging yellow stones, but blue stones."
Wang Wei looked at it and found that the quarrying men threw away the yellow stones and put the collected blue stones in the vine basket.
He was even more strange, what was this blue stone? What was its use?
Xia Feng said: "King, I guess what they did with this blue stone. They would crush it and use it as paint."
The man said, "Well, you have some knowledge. This is a very expensive pigment."
Since we know what they are doing, Wang Wei has nothing to ask, because Xia tribe does not need pigments for the time being.
He didn't go in to check, so he took the people away.
But at this moment, some people in the quarry crowd were calling Xia Feng’s name.
The people who stopped Wang Wei just now suddenly became nervous. They fiercely scared Wang Wei not to approach. Maybe they saw that there were many people on Wang Wei and they didn't dare to surround him.
Wang Wei and others ignored the people and looked at the person who called Xia Feng. They saw that the person had been beaten to the ground, but he kept calling Xia Feng's name.
"Xia Feng, do you know him?"
"If you don't know, you can't see clearly, he must know me."
"It's obvious that they were forced to do coolies by this leopard tribe, go and see, and don't hurt their lives."
Xia Feng made a gesture with his hand, and the hunting group 2 rushed forward and knocked down the people who were blocking them immediately. He did not allow them to move, so he came to guard the two of them.
Wang Wei and Xia Feng ran into the valley and knocked down the people intercepted inside.
The quarrying men cheered.
The man who asked Xia Feng to stand up with a dirt face, his mouth full of blood.
"Xia Feng, don't you remember me? I'm Chi."
"Chi, Huangshi tribe leader, why are you here?"
Xia Feng introduced: "King, he is the leader of the Huangshi tribe. Chief Chi, this is the leader of my Xia tribe, our king."
The leader of the Huangshi tribe named Chi was about to kneel down and be stopped by Wang Wei.
"Don't kneel on me, I heard Xia Feng say to you, haven't you left here with the Yellowstone Tribe?"
"Oh, I didn't leave. After being caught by the Leopard Tribe, I was forced to quarre here."
Wang Wei looked at him with calluses, his body was also worn out in pieces, and he also had wounds on his body. This was someone who had been beaten, and the same was true for others. It looked so pitiful.
The tools used by these quarrymen are also stone tools, which are very rough. It is absolutely difficult to use these tools to quarreate. Obviously, it is not easy to be a coolie.
"Are they all your tribe members?"
"No, there are people from other tribes, king, Xia Feng, can you take us away?"
Xia Feng said to Wang Wei:
"King, they are all poor people. Can we take them in?"
This group of people are actually slaves of the Leopard Tribe. Seeing that they were not as good as those of the Xia Tribe’s slaves, he said to Xia Feng:
"Tie the people from the Leopard Tribe."
He also said to Chi, the leader of the Huangshi tribe:
"Each of you brings some stones here, don't need to go too much, follow the Xia tribe."
Obviously they couldn't understand why Wang Wei brought these stones, but being able to leave here with him was something they dreamt of.
Wang Wei observed closely that these yellow stones were copper ore, and the blue ones were not known, so he had to take them back and burn them.
