Chapter 30 Rapid Development

After counting the supplies brought back by the caravan, Qin Yu ordered people to move them into the warehouse.

The thirty-three war horses in this transaction, including those previously owned by the Dragon Tribe, totaled nearly seventy horses.

With just one more trade trip, he can collect almost a hundred war horses. When the snow melts and spring comes, Qin Yu can start training a hundred cavalry.

At that time, with the mobility of the cavalry, combined with weapons such as bows, arrows, and spears, it may be a lie to claim dominance over the entire grassland, but there is no problem in dominating the eastern part of the grassland.

After all, this is a primitive era, and the so-called wars between tribes are sometimes just like fighting. Both the weapons and tactics are very backward.

The concept of cavalry has been advanced for at least hundreds of years, and the open and flat terrain on the grassland is simply like an uninhabited land.

During the two days when the caravan was out trading, Qin Yu was not idle and did a lot of things. One was to check the training of the new recruits, the other was to continue to order people to transport minerals in the mountains and forests, and the third was to send people to the south to inquire about the underworld. The situation of the wolf tribe to prepare for future wars.

In addition, he also accumulated some civilization points so that he could unlock some war technologies before the war came, thus improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

Time quickly came to night. Due to the rich harvest of the caravan, Qin Yu ordered people to take out the meat stored in the cellar and celebrated grandly.

However, with the rapid increase in population, the consumption of food is also very scary. Now one meal can consume the food of the Dragon Tribe for two or three days.

After dinner, the Dragon Tribe gradually became quiet. Since a tall wooden wall was built around the tribe, the people's inner sense of security was greatly improved. However, this is also true. With the wooden wall, the safety at night is indeed improved. promoted.

There are about forty people responsible for night watch patrols every night, and the forty people are divided into two teams to guard the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

During the two days since You Ming left, the patrol work was handed over to Ya.

……

Early the next morning, when You Ming and Jiang Li learned that they were going out for trade with their caravan again, their faces couldn't help but feel bitter.

You Ming sighed and said, "I'm telling you, clan leader, Lao Jiang and I have just returned from two days of walking. Can't we just rest for two days before walking?"

Qin Yu said with a serious face: "Have a rest? There are wolves in front of us and tigers in the back of our tribe. If you don't improve your strength as soon as possible, you still want to have a rest? Time waits for no one, not to mention that this coal is only popular in winter. After waiting, You can’t exchange for such a high price in winter!”

Following Qin Yu's sincere teachings, the two of them were filled with shame and immediately decided to set off to trade more coal and stone.

Qin Yu said that he was very pleased that the two of them could contribute so much to the tribe.

In this way, the dragon tribe's caravan was once again ready to set off.

This time there were more people than last time. Because of the previous example of trying to rob goods, Qin Yu sent additional people to be on the safe side.

This time there are thirty people in the Stone Spear Team, and they are all new recruits. If they encounter any danger, they will treat it as training.

In addition, there are ten shield and ax team members, twenty archers, and forty ordinary people accompanying them. Each of them holds a variety of weapons to act as auxiliary troops and increase their momentum.

Some tribes with malicious intentions also have to weigh their own strength and whether they can afford the cost of plundering.

A total of four thousand kilograms of coal and stone were carried on this trip, one-third more than last time. Eight carriages were used, so they could load more goods when they came back.

"Have a safe journey and come back soon."

Following Qin Yu's instructions, Jiang Li and You Ming embarked on the road of trade again.

And when the two of them came back again, it was the day when Qin Yu showed his hand.

.........

Time flies by like a white horse passing by.

In more than two days, Jiang Li and You Ming led the caravan to visit the remaining seven trading points. In the end, eleven of the fifteen trade points were confirmed, and they can continue to trade for a long time.

As for the remaining four...

Sooner or later they will be destroyed.

As the caravan traveled twice for trade, the reputation of the Dragon Tribe gradually became known, and sooner or later, people who were greedy for profit would come to the door.

This is what Qin Yu hopes to see, but he is not sure whether the person who comes to the door is weak or strong.

However, with the current strength of the Dragon Tribe, even if the Black Wolf Tribe sends out all its warriors, it is impossible to capture this wooden wall.

After all, with a population of 700 in the Black Wolf tribe, we can’t all be soldiers, right?

After waiting for two days in the tribe, Qin Yu finally brought You Ming back.

Seeing the caravan behind them carrying large and small goods as well as many horses, cattle, sheep, and slaves, Qin Yu couldn't help but smile.

Four thousand kilograms of coal and stone were exchanged for a total of fifty-four strong horses, twenty-five prairie sheep, thirty-three male slaves, twenty female slaves, and forty skins...

In addition, they encountered two battles and captured 23 people.

As a result, the population of the Dragon Tribe increased from 242 to 322.

The number of horses also exceeded a hundred, so Qin Yu had a horse farm built specially for this purpose.

In the following two weeks, the Dragon Tribe began to change drastically.

Jiang Li led a team of 100 people to cut wood from the mountains and forests every day, and then used more than 20 horse-drawn carriages to transport the wood back and forth, greatly improving the transportation efficiency.

Soon the area to the east of the mountain forest began to be denuded.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, plant trees first!

The warehouse storing wood outside the Dragon Tribe is already full of ten.

In addition to logging, You Ming occasionally led caravans on trade trips around the area, and occasionally gained something.

As for Ya, in addition to training a team of archers, she also took people out to hunt. Now the population of the Dragon tribe has increased sharply, and a large amount of food has been consumed. At this time, the food previously stored can only be eaten for half a month.

However, the cattle, sheep and horses raised have not been counted. If there is really no food, some sheep can be slaughtered to save the emergency.

In addition, the number of tents in the tribe is gradually declining and slowly transforming into thatched huts.

This thatched house is made of wood and hay, which greatly improves comfort, safety and warmth compared to tents.

Each thatched house is about 30 square meters, and houses five ethnic people. Since it is only a building used for rest, the area is not large. There are only five wooden beds and some simple daily utensils in the house.

Secondly, in addition to thatched houses, some wooden warehouses were also built to store various materials and military reserves.

At present, more than 30 carriages have been produced from the carriage workshop, which are used for transportation and trade within the tribe.

Secondly, for this era, horse-drawn carriages also played a strategic role.

Therefore, Qin Yu gritted his teeth and spent a thousand civilization points to unlock the production blueprint for the medium-sized carriage.
