It was not until the afternoon that Li Tianyang and the others walked out of the primeval forest exhausted and returned to the sheep intestine trail opened up by the natives of the Zhuluo Mountain Society. Today's harvest is not much, three pheasants, one hairy monkey is today's whole day's harvest, like what Lahok said in his mouth what mountain qiang, black bear, wild boar, that is not even Mao'er saw a single one.

When he was on the road, Li Tianyang couldn't help but ask Ma Yao, what was their harvest every time, and the answer given by Ma Yao shocked Li Tianyang, being able to feed more than 2,000 natives in this forest, the pressure on them was not ordinary, and it was no wonder that they would go so far to hunt. Not to mention the immigrant villages along the coast, which are often patronized and robbed by these natives, for those small tribes with smaller territories, if they want to survive and use some means to take advantage of them, they will not be able to live on the gifts of nature alone.

Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why there is no unified tribe so far, the larger the group, the greater the pressure on food and population, like this primitive tribe trapped on the ocean, and do not know how to grow, the more people they have, the faster their tribe will divide and collapse.

Li Tianyang's camp, in the past few months, has actually been attacked by many unknown tribes, a lot of grain planted outside, especially potatoes, has been stolen and dug up by people at night, forcing Li Tianyang to arrange people to guard the outside world at night, and at the same time to prevent unknown arrows from coming from. Fortunately, these natives generally come alone, and there are only small teams of three or five people at most, which makes Li Tianyang's pressure not so great. In addition, in the past few months, the indigenous young people of Zhuluo Mountain have often gone down the mountain to help work, scaring and chasing these compatriots, and they are still very effective.

In the evening, Li Tianyang and the others were invited to the patriarch's house for a warm welcome, of course, don't expect people to come up with any good food and wine, almost exactly the same as last night's hospitality, this is already the best food that people can come up with.

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you can't go to the Three Treasures Palace, Li Tianyang is not a person who is idle and running around, this time he came to visit the patriarch of Zhuluo Mountain, in addition to the necessary understanding, in fact, he also wanted to discuss with the people of Zhuluo Mountain, and wanted to recruit more natives to the camp to help open up the wasteland and work.

Seeing that spring is about to begin, Li Tianyang still wants to reclaim a few more wastelands and plant more grain; His farm is about to start large-scale breeding, the first batch of chicks have hatched and are waiting to be fed, and the pigs, cattle, sheep and other domestic animals purchased from Yuegang are also in place and are being kept in captivity around the camp; In another three or four months, when the chicks are old enough to start laying eggs, it's time for their workshop to get moving.

Of course, there are several kilns that have never stopped, and the teenagers have worked together on their own, guarding the side in three shifts, and batches of bricks and cement are fired and transported into the camp to become the cornerstone of the construction of their homes.

However, it is easy to pull the egg when the step is bigger, Li Tianyang is now the person who is being pulled on it, and the person who is being pulled is relying on the labor of less than two hundred people in Li Tianyang's camp, where can he support such a big stall. In the robbery some time ago, if it weren't for the fact that the materials in the camp were close to the bottom line expected by Li Tianyang, they really wouldn't have been able to draw more than 80 people out to rob.

If it is according to Li Tianyang's consistent policy of seeking stability, it is best to be able to reduce ten meetings with one force and gather the greatest strength to win with one blow, he would like to leave only the necessary manpower to watch the house, and the others will be at ease when they all go into battle. And now, nearly one-fifth of the labor force is lying in the camp, and Li Tianyang's manpower gap is getting bigger and bigger, so this trip to Zhuluo Mountain can be regarded as Li Tianyang's trip for help.

It's not that he didn't think about recruiting some landless villagers or displaced people from Zhangquan and Zhangquan to live and live here, and he didn't make such efforts. Every time people came to inquire and said that they had come to live on this Dayuan Island, five or six of the ten people were taken off on the spot, and the remaining three or four were either old and frail, or dragged their families with them, and put forward a series of requirements, which made the camp that had just started out have no way to meet it, and finally had to give up.

It's not that Li Tianyang is alarmist, the people along the coast of Fujian in this era can really scare away a lot of bold men for the legend of the island of Dayuan, so Dayuan in Zhangquan also has a bad reputation for "burying grievances".

And Li Tianyang actually has considerations, now is the time when he is in a sweet period with the natives of the Zhuluo Mountain Society, and he usually hears Ma Yao and other indigenous young people complain that they are often hungry.

If Li Tianyang recruits people from other places, to be honest, sooner or later there will be disputes with this group of natives who can't eat enough, and even because Li Tianyang has cut down too many forests and reclaimed the land, the prey of the natives will be reduced more and more, and the contradiction between the two families will intensify over time. When the time comes, the indigenous people who can't eat enough and live in order to live will hit Li Tianyang and their group of well-fed neighbors, which is an inevitable thing.

However, if taking advantage of the harmonious relationship between everyone during this period, Li Tianyang discussed with the elders of the Zhuluo Mountain tribe, so that more Zhuluo Mountain natives can go down the mountain to help and work, first, it can alleviate the food crisis of the Zhuluo Mountain people, and they don't have to go hungry from time to time; Second, under the long-term exchange and labor, Li Tianyang and them can also teach these natives advanced farming knowledge, so that they can learn to grow their own land and grow food, so that they no longer have to work hard to hunt and rely on the sky for food; Third, it alleviates the urgent problem of manpower shortage in Li Tianyang's camp, one side has changed a few times, why not do it!

Li Tianyang is a pure great nationalist, but he is not a Han Chinese, although he does not like to see many things in Confucianism, but he likes a sentence in the Spring and Autumn Period: Di Yi enters China, then China; When China enters Diyi, then Diyi. A person who read a book thousands of years ago understood the truth, but he couldn't figure out why it had become a fallacy now.

As long as he works hard, he Li Tianyang can turn this group of natives who are not obedient to education into a group of useful helpers. After all, in his plan, this place was not as simple as a nest to hide.

I thought that things should be easy, the situation in Zhuluo Mountain Society is so bad, and the conditions given by Li Tianyang are also generous in the eyes of the people of Zhuluo Mountain, otherwise there would not be so many young people sneaking down the mountain to contribute to Li Tianyang's camp. But what I didn't expect was that when this proposal came, Bi Yong, who was the patriarch, was full of displeasure, and he almost turned his face with Li Tianyang on the spot.

Li Tianyang couldn't understand that as the head of the clan, he should have considered the people in the tribe, why was the old man Biyong unwilling to let the villagers in the clan go out to find a way out. But where did he understand that what an old man thinks in his heart, the older the person, the more respect for the tradition, in the eyes of Biyong, the people of their Zhuluo Mountain Society are born to be the spoiled children of the forest, except for harvesting prey from nature, any other means are a stain on the people of the Zhuluo Mountain Society.

Moreover, Bi Yong, who has lived for most of his life, can also see better than this group of ignorant natives that the culture of China is too powerful, and its inclusiveness is too strong.

At the same time, this contact with Li Tianyang made him faintly feel that if the matter was not stopped, the position of the patriarch of their family that had been handed down for more than ten generations would probably be buried in the long river of history in a short time and cease to exist.

In the end, after several clan elders and patriarchs of the Zhuluo Mountain Society closed the door and avoided talking for a long time, Li Tianyang finally got a reply: as the patriarch and clan elders, they did not object to the children of the clan going to Li Tianyang's camp to work, but they would never support such an action, let alone what Li Tianyang said he wanted, and these elders of them stood up and spoke out to encourage everyone to go down the mountain.

Looking at the resentful eyes of the patriarch Biyong who was angry with the elders of the clan, Li Tianyang knew that I am afraid that this is the biggest concession of the Zhuluo Mountain Society, and the matter has returned to the original point, Li Tianyang's trip to Zhuluo Mountain this time can be regarded as a complete failure.
