The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 500 Rapid Development

The coal mines in the Rhinoceros Continent are buried relatively shallow. You only need to dig out a meter or two of soil to see the veins of a large coal mine below.

The quality of these coal mines is very good, they are all in one piece, not that kind of low-quality coal.

After discovering the coal mine, Hongtu immediately went back to find Chenbei, hoping that he would let the buffalo and rhinoceros help carry the coal.

Because the Mang tribe has a small number of people, they all have their own things to do, and their strength is not as strong as that of bison and rhinoceros.

Chen Bei readily agreed, because both the buffalo herd and the rhino herd had little god-level kings. It goes without saying that Ban Yue originally belonged to the Mang tribe and would control the rhino herd to carry coal obediently.

The bison king was frightened by Chen Bei, and Chen Bei made him work, how could he dare to say anything?
So, more than 1000 bison and more than 1000 rhinos set off at the same time, and under the leadership of their respective kings, they walked to the place where the coal mine was discovered.

As they walked, they chewed a few mouthfuls of green grass casually, and they didn't even need to be fed. This kind of labor is really great.

Hongtu led the engineering team to excavate the soil layer above the coal mine, and then quickly loaded the coal with rattan baskets, sacks, animal skin bags, etc.

Because there are too many rhinos and bison, the rattan baskets, sacks, and animal skin bags have all been used up, which is still far from enough.

In desperation, Chenbei had no choice but to drive back a small group of rhinos and bison carrying packed coal, and then asked people in various workshops to weave rattan baskets, grass baskets, and animal skin bags urgently.

Rattan baskets are woven from various vines, which are simple and practical, and there are especially many vines by the river, enough for what you need.

Grass baskets are a little more troublesome, because most of the grass is relatively fragile, even if weaved into a basket, it can't hold too heavy things, otherwise it will break after a few bumps.

We can only use very strong grass stems, weave them into straw ropes, and then weave them into baskets. The production process is cumbersome and not as durable as rattan baskets.

With the efforts of hundreds of people, this work lasted for several days, and finally enough rattan baskets, grass baskets, and newly made animal skin bags needed to transport coal were gathered.

Afterwards, rhinos and bison began to move coal on a large scale, and the coal in the settlement of the Mang tribe quickly piled up into a coal mountain.

After these coals were washed by the rain, the solid coals glowed with black light, which was very beautiful.

After accumulating enough coal for a long period of time, the engineering team no longer digs coal with all their strength, and those free laborers-rhino herds and bison herds can finally continue to live a leisurely life.

Of course, the bison is worse, because after the planting team opened up the wasteland, they planned to domesticate some young bison for farming.

"Open the kiln and burn bricks!"

The craftsmen who came from the pottery workshop built a large brick kiln with clay in a suitable open space by the river early on. After getting coal, they started working directly.

The Mang tribe's techniques for firing blue bricks and pottery are already very mature. These craftsmen are very familiar with a set of procedures from building kilns, making blanks, and firing.

Therefore, when the brick kiln was piled up with bricks and coal, it burned quickly.

This is the first smoke on the prairie, and it is also the thickest trace of human beings.

The flames in the brick kiln were burning brightly, and the coal fire was very strong and long-lasting, much better than burning wood, and they turned those adobes into good bricks.

At the same time, the craftsmen of the pottery workshop also fired a batch of heavy pottery, such as pottery jars and pots, which were not easy to bring from the tribe, to meet the needs of everyone's daily life.

In the next few months, the settlement of the Mang Tribe in the Rhinoceros Continent underwent earth-shaking changes.

Houses with green brick domes rose up one after another. Due to limited conditions, these houses may not be as tall as those in Nanhuang, but they are stronger than others.

Once you have a house, all work can be carried out in an orderly manner.

A strong house can bring people a sense of security, instead of worrying about water leaks in the rain, and the thatched hut is too narrow, as before.

Those pottery also greatly facilitated the daily life of the Mang tribe people, allowing them to finally experience the joy of life slowly here, instead of having nothing and just barely surviving as they did when they first came here.

The settlement of the Mang Tribe in the Rhinoceros Continent has entered a stage of rapid development.

A large amount of arable land has been opened up, a large number of animal cubs have been domesticated, and various workshops have slowly produced various daily necessities, so that the gap between this gathering place and the Southern Wilderness has narrowed bit by bit.

The breeding base of the flamingo team has also been gradually established, and those flamingoes are indeed very adaptable.

Under the careful care of Honghua and the soldiers of the flamingo team, the flamingos gradually adapted to life here, and entered the mating and breeding season during the rainy season, laying eggs.

This also means that the Mang tribe will have more flamingos in the future, and when facing other tribes, they will no longer be weak in flying battle pets.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

……

On the Rhinoceros Continent, beside the big river, Chenbei and Honghua sat under the lush reeds, looking at the sparkling lake, chatting happily.

This big river was named the Rhinoceros River by Chenbei, because the first time he encountered a herd of rhinoceros was on the grassland by the river.

"I'm going back tomorrow, and suddenly I feel a little reluctant about this place." Hong Hua broke off a reed, threw it into the water bit by bit, and watched them float away.

"Yeah, time always flies. There are no foreign enemies in this place, and life is very peaceful. It's really nostalgic."

Chen Bei picked up a stone casually, threw it into the river, and made a sound of "boom", breaking the calm of the water surface.

"However, this kind of life also lacks passion. Living in an environment without enemies for a long time, it is easy for people to enjoy ease of mind."

"The winter in the southern wilderness should have passed, and the jackal tribe, ant tribe, eagle tribe, and other tribes will all be ready to move."

"At this time, as the leader of the tribe, how can I stay in this place and enjoy the comfort?"

After listening to Chen Bei's words, Hong Hua nodded and said, "That's right, there are so many enemies now, we really should go back!"

After a pause, Honghua asked again: "If one day we have no enemies, where would you go?"

Chen Bei thought for a while, and said, "Maybe, I will go to a farther place and explore a bigger world."

"Can I go with you?"

"of course can."

When Hong Hua heard Chen Bei's affirmative answer, a bright smile appeared on her face.

The two sat by the river, chatting happily, enjoying a rare peaceful time...

The next day, except for the flamingos that had already laid eggs, all the other adult flamingos brought food and water, and carried Chenbei, Honghua, and some soldiers back to Nanhuang.

At this time, the snow in Nanhuang happened to melt, and tender green grass grew on the ground again.
