Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 66 [65]

Zhou Li'an has completed all the preparations for moving south.

500 horses, 100 carriages; and give the tribesmen enough time to study.The tribal people's love for horses is extreme.Because they have imagined countless times that they can domesticate a certain large animal, but they still can't find a way.

And love is the best motivation for learning.

Food and clothing reserves are sufficient, there is no shortage of food and drink on the road, and there is no need to worry about the severe cold in winter.

Tribal people are hard-working.

However, young children and elderly people may be injured or ill on the road. At that time, the injured and sick can ride in a carriage.

Yes, horse-drawn carts are not just for carrying goods.

A large tribe of 15000 people has an astonishing amount of supplies. It is simply unrealistic to rely on 100 horse-drawn carts to take them all away.

Therefore, regardless of modern or ancient times, one must go through a "break away" before moving.

Fortunately, the North American aborigines, who were hunters, did not have much wealth.

They only carried bedding, clothing, weapons, and food stored before, and discarded the rest.

Considering that those tents were not easy to come by, Zhou Li'an ordered people to dismantle them and pile them up on the ground, just waiting for him to perform a miracle with a wave of his hand and put all the tents into the system space.

In fact, when they arrive in California, these tents will still be eliminated.

Because after the official settlement, it is necessary to start to establish a city-state, and the tent is only used in the transitional stage.

So ever.

During the three-day separation, the tribal people shed tears of grief after the coming of the true God for the first time.

Eighty percent of most household utensils are discarded.

They are afraid of poverty, and some stone utensils are even family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation.

But in Zhou Li'an's eyes, these things are worthless, and they don't even have future archaeological value.

Even those exquisite red copper jewelry would only cost tens or hundreds of dollars in the present world.

It's time to start panning for gold.

Is it shabby to wear copper jewelry?

A big gold chain in each hand, isn't it fragrant?

After settling down, he will also bestow more modern tools to ease the difficulty of production and life, and those primitive and bulky tools have no meaning at all.

10 month 31 day.

The day before departure, Zhou Li'an returned to the present world.

The last order of 10000 spearheads, long knives and daggers arrived, worth a total of $45; this reduced his bank balance to $235 million.

In just over a month, [-] million US dollars bottomed out.

In fact, the purchasing power is still very strong. First of all, the hoarding of food before is enough for tens of thousands of people to live for two years. The order of horses and carriages costs a total of 80 US dollars. Others such as generators, audio equipment, and rental horse farms and trailers are zero. never mention...

The biggest head is actually the system overhead.

I drove the [3 Seconds Man] more than a dozen times to show miracles, spending more than 70 yuan; the most terrifying thing was the 500-horse [Time and Space Smuggling], which cost a total of 500 million US dollars.

However, Juarez's tanneries were already under construction, so Zhou Li'an didn't have to worry about money. There were no expenses during the southward relocation, and the remaining savings were enough for the next few months.

No matter how bad it is, there are still more than 5000 pieces of fur stock in the system warehouse, which are all obtained from tribal hunting these days. Handing it over to Wang Defa and letting him sell it to the previous shipping channel can quickly draw a large sum of money.

Then, Zhou Lian paid the water and electricity bills several months in advance to avoid the toll collectors coming to the door; the most important thing is to tell Wang Defa his whereabouts, and he can call after 12 o'clock every night. If he doesn't get through, try again the next day.

Although he didn't plan to eat and sleep with the tribesmen during the migration, in case of any emergency, he might not be able to return to the present world every night.

If there is anything wrong with the leather factory, Wang Defa can make his own decision.Anyway, Lao Wang is responsible for the investment and expenses of building a factory, so he doesn't need to pay for it himself.

It was Halloween night.

Because Hood Farm is remote enough, there are no brats who come to the house with jack-o-lanterns to make trouble and ask for candies; when they first rented an apartment, Zhou Li'an had a lot of headaches for this festival.

But in another parallel time and space, Christian festivals such as Halloween will no longer exist, and the Kinkou sect has the final say on what festival to celebrate in the future!

23 points.

The double draw starts in October and November.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, you are G! 】

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, you are G again! 】

Southward move is imminent, unexpectedly "GG"?
Zhou Li'an chose to keep his mouth shut: "Good luck, good luck, moving south is imminent, good luck, and 888 cash rewards, good omen!"

……

[System time November 1400, 11]

Outside Tushi Valley.

Under the order of our Lord Balance, the migrating troops of tens of thousands of people set off in mighty force.

300 Equilibrium Knights 200 lead the way, 100 rear; 100 two-horse carriages are divided into 37 parts, loaded with food, when waiting for a break, the tribesmen can take it nearby, so as not to confuse the team.

In addition to the young and strong carrying luggage, there are also soldiers with spears and steel knives guarding the sides, mainly to prevent children from getting lost.

Such a migratory team is more than 3 kilometers long and can't be seen at a glance.

A full 40 minutes after starting from the vanguard, the last team was able to start, because the road after that was narrow and long, not enough for too many people to go in parallel.

Now roughly 4 or 5 people are the width of a row. This is the marching design after Zhou Li'an's last exploration and inspection.

Zhou Li'an was not in a hurry to lead the way, but rode along beside the migration team to observe the status of the clansmen.

Just two hours after departure, the situation of falling behind appeared.

It is difficult for the elders of the tribe to keep up with the pace of the young people, and if they stop for a while, the long migrating dragon will be cut off in the middle.

After a while, Zhou Li'an could only order the guards who followed him to drive to the front to inform the team to suspend.

Not long after, they climbed the mountain and came on horseback. They got off their horses and worshiped our lord first, then they saw the abnormal state of the team here.

When he found an old man was exhausted and pale, he was furious, stepped forward and waved his long whip, making an astonishing crisp sound in the air.

Climbing the mountain angrily said: "This is a test from my lord, it's only been a long time since we set off, can't you hold on?!"

"You are dishonoring your people and your descendants!"

Beside the old man, several family members bowed their heads and remained silent.

And his seven or eight-year-old grandson was already crying and trembling.

The old man gritted his teeth, straightened his rickety body with difficulty, and shouted: "I am willing to die for my sins! I will never let my tribe be ashamed because of me!"

"Great Patriarch Tushi, kill me! I'm just a drag on all the people of Balance!"

After shouting.

With tears running down his face, he knelt straight to Zhou Li'an: "My lord, forgive your humble people for not being able to serve you. At this moment, I would like to sacrifice my soul to you."

After the words fell, the surrounding was silent.

Countless people's eyes trembled, and they cast reverent gazes at the old man.

The old man's grandson stood in front of his grandfather at this moment, crying and shouting: "My grandfather was once the most heroic warrior in the tribe. He once killed three gray wolves by himself!"

"Shut up!!" The old man pushed him away and cursed, "I'm old, and I shouldn't be a burden to everyone! Even the most heroic alpha wolf in the pack will leave alone when he grows old."

Available at this time.

"Mountain climbing." Zhou Li'an's voice came.

Only then did everyone realize that our lord was approaching, and people around him knelt down and worshiped.

The same goes for mountain climbing.

Zhou Li'an said: "Let me ask you, when you grow old, do you also hope that others will regard you as a burden?"

Climbing the mountain was stunned, and said: "My lord, if I am a burden, I am willing to die in exchange for the relief of my people, so that I will not become a burden."

He glanced at the old man again, and continued: "But I respect him, I believe that he was a heroic warrior, and I believe that he is the most devout believer of our Lord Equilibrium."

The old man looked at him and smiled freely: "My death is worth it... I once heard a story."

"The daughter of the great Tushi patriarch, that incomparably noble 'Witch', once sacrificed herself to beg forgiveness from our Lord for our humble people."

"That witch is great, and I would like to emulate and follow her feat! I hope that the people of Balance can complete the test of our Lord, rescue that great witch, and wake up from eternal sleep."

When these words came out, the climbing figure trembled unconsciously.

He had to admit that since the migration day was getting closer, he became more and more anxious. He once swore to the Lord that he would lead the tribe to complete this test.

He even made a promise in front of his wife and children to wake up Xuenv.

As a father, as the head of the clan, as the people of Balance, he must complete the task.

All eyes are on our Lord, waiting for his sentence.

However, Zhou Li'an continued to say to climb the mountain: "So, climb the mountain, do you want to kill all the old people who are unable to move forward?"

Climbing the mountain was stunned and speechless.

"What about the children? Do you also want to kill the future of those Kinkou fighters who haven't grown up yet?"

"My lord, I..."

"And women, those who hope to bear children."

"I, I don't know... My lord, climbing a mountain is stupid, I, I don't know." climbing a mountain shouted, shedding tears.

It is impossible for him to be under a lot of pressure. When tens of thousands of people gather, he feels powerless, and he has no time to consider what may happen during the migration.

Mountain climbing has experience leading a team, but leading a hunting team and leading a tribe of tens of thousands of people to migrate are two different concepts.

Zhou Li'an glanced at the crowd and said in a loud voice: "Under balance, you are all citizens; you are all followers and servants of witches. When you wait for the moment of devotion, you will receive my blessing and grace."

"What is my test?"

"Is it just to make you wait to migrate from one place to another? Then why abandon the settlement that has already been built?"

"I hope, you learn to think..."

"On this road of sharpening, see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and feel with your hearts."

"The people of Balance are brothers and sisters."

"The strong should take care of the weak, help the old and the young, and love women; instead of taking out the sword that I gave you, and turning that sword to your brothers and sisters."

"As the patriarch and leader appointed by me, you have the responsibility and obligation to protect the people of Balance, not to hurt them."

"Do you know why I forgave 'Snow Maiden''s sins instead of letting her fall into eternal annihilation?"

Climb the mountain and look up, shaking his head with tears in his eyes.

Zhou Li'an said: "Because her heart called out to me, she is willing to use her own death to beg for the joy and peace of all of you."

"And you, Xue Nu's father, are exactly the opposite."

"When you encounter hardships, all you think about is holding the butcher's knife high!!"

"Ah—" Climbing cried out in pain. He felt so ashamed that he knelt down in front of Zhou Li'an and kowtowed his head, "My lord, please lower the punishment! , even more shameless to face...the witch again."

This situation is something that no one has ever imagined.

Countless people believed that the death of the old man was the destination.

After a long journey, fatigue will inevitably lead to injuries and illnesses for the elderly and children. This is an inevitable result. In order to complete the test of our Lord, they will not hesitate even if they face death.

But who would have thought that our lord took pity on the old man, and spread His mercy to all the balanced people.

Zhou Li'an bent down, took away the climbing whip, ripped off his clothes from bottom to top, and threw them over his shoulders.

Snapped!
He slammed down the whip hard, and it hit Climbing's back.

In an instant, a bloodstain appeared, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, blood oozed out, causing the skin to swell and crack, leaving bloody scars.

Climbing the mountain was so painful that I lay on the ground, and I forcibly held back the pain that I almost blurted out.

"This time, I forgive your sin."

"But from now on, on the road of sharpening and testing, you will be punished for every one of the people of Balance who are killed because of your leadership."

"You should think about how to protect the people of Balance and lead them to complete this test that may involve life and death."

"Did you hear it?"

Climbing the mountain got up like an electric shock, continued to kneel down and said: "My lord is above, climbing the mountain is willing to obey every commandment of my lord and listen to your will."

Zhou Li'an threw the whip to him, turned around and looked at the old man: "Your mortal body is old and weak. I have set the law of balance. The birth, old age, sickness and death of all things in the world are normal; so the tempering along the way , you have to endure."

"But I can give a promise to all the people of Balance; whoever submits to me, obeys my decree, and serves the people of Balance. After death, I will personally wait for you, open the door to the afterlife, and welcome the people of Balance."

"You are old and have no chance to make meritorious deeds; but if your descendants can make meritorious deeds for balance, they will be blessed with 'eternal life' and witness the changes of the world with me, across the long river of time !"

Speaking of it.

He walked up to the old man's grandson and rubbed his still clean little head: "If you can protect and shout for your elderly grandpa when everyone is unmoved, you will definitely be a hero in the Kingdom of Balanced God in the future." Warriors can protect their homes and guard the kingdom of God."

"I will give you my name, Zhou Weiguo."

"How do you like it?"

The kid was just dumbfounded.

Even when he migrated here to pay homage to our lord, he only kowtowed five steps away, not daring to look at the true god.

But at this moment, my lord Hengheng was not only right in front of him, but also stroked his head with that warm hand.

The body of the true god exudes a pleasant fragrance, which he has never smelled in his life.

Not to mention...

Give a name?

The gods give names to protect the homeland and guard the kingdom of God.

The child's face turned red, and he almost fainted from suffocation.

"Child who is as stupid as a log, don't hesitate to worship and praise our Lord." The old man came on his knees again, knocking his knees loudly, and hurriedly pushed his grandson to the ground.

Finally, the child returned to God, weeping with joy, his tender forehead hit the ground one after another, leaving scars quickly: "Praise my lord, praise balance... I swear, when I grow up, I will protect my homeland and the kingdom of God, Dedicate my all to the service of my Lord."

"My name is...Zhou Weiguo!!" His pronunciation was not standard, but he made the oath with courage.

At this time, the surrounding clansmen also followed the praise, and let out a deafening cry——

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

"Our Lord is balanced and merciful, and balance... exists among all things!"
