Chapter 200 Jiangnan Leather Factory

ginger tribe.

In a walled yard, there are more than a dozen men and women busy here.

Some people are cooking cooked meat, some are sorting lemons, some are opening pachycephalus eggs, some are making grass fiber, some are distributing purple fruit and lemon fruit, and some are cooking egg feed .

This is the animal feed processing plant of the Ginger Tribe, and they are making pachycephalosaurus egg feed.

The people in this workshop have certain work experience, which made Wen Shi, who is a beast witch, feel a lot easier.

Wen Shi was sitting beside Li Yan studying the bamboo book on animal taming.

"Patriarch, the giant rhinoceros are large giant beasts that live in swamps. They can directly trample down large trees. Because they are so huge, they can also be equipped with platform saddles on their backs. You can build a house or something. .” Wen Shi said.

"Well, we need this kind of giant beast, that's why we collected so many swollen-headed dragon eggs." Li Yan nodded and said, "This kind of giant rhinoceros has a large carrying capacity, although it is not as good as the brontosaurus, it is still a good The giant beasts used, the goods of our tribe will be carried by giant rhinos."

"Then I have to prepare enough anesthetics." Wen Shi said.

"Yeah, there is feed, the beasts get up quickly, and don't need so many anesthetics. We are in the inland area, not near the sea, otherwise we can go to fight some jellyfish poison and come back." Li Yan sighed.

"Correct."

"Okay, I'm going to the leather factory, and I'll leave it to you here. The feed and anesthetics must be prepared, you know?"

"Well, I see."

Get out of the feed mill.

The trees here are shaded, blocking the scorching sun at noon. Li Yan walked along this dirt road paved with gravel for a while and came to the leather factory.

In the leather factory, there are more than 30 people busy.

Some of them are tanning animal skins, some are making leather goods such as animal skin water bags and animal skin bags, and all of them are very busy.

In this era, animal skins and stone tools were widely used. Even in the current Jiang tribe, more than [-]% of the people wore animal skins or bark and straw clothing. Animal skins were also used for armor and saddles. Animal hides are in great demand.

In the tannery near the door, there is a large pile of animal skins. The crocodile skins and giant animal skins have been treated simply. However, a considerable part of the animal skins have been improperly processed and have begun to rot and stink.

The hunting team of the Jiang tribe would go hunting in the southwest swamps regularly, and then bring the animal hides back to the leather factory for further processing. Usually, it took several days to go there. Many animal hides were damaged during transportation, resulting in a lot of losses.

Li Yan walked into the leather factory, looked at the pile of stinking animal skins, and then asked the factory manager, "Jiang Pi, have you done what I asked you to do?"

The person in charge of the leather factory, Jiang Pi, was teaching a group of male slaves how to tan leather goods and sort leather. When he heard what Li Yan said, he hurriedly ran to Li Yan from the shed.

"Patriarch, it's done. Those ten slaves have learned to sort and tan leather simply." Jiang Pi replied quickly.

Li Yan looked up and saw the ten male slaves sitting in a corner of the shed, carefully sorting the animal hides, or picking off the sticky meat on the animal hides with a small stone blade, each of them was very serious.

"Okay, take them tomorrow morning and follow me to the clam tribe."

Li Yan was satisfied with the performance of the ten male slaves who had been training for a period of time.

On the second day, Li Yan took the slaves and clansmen to the southwest swamp.

The Southwest Swamp is far away from the Ginger Tribe, several days' journey away, and it is in the southwest of the tribe.

To the west of the swamp, there is a woods and plain. This is the place of the Kuo tribe. The strength of the Kuo tribe in the alliance is at the level of the upper middle reaches. They occupy the swamp in name, but in fact, the southeast of the swamp is not their territory. .

This swamp is very vast, and various landforms emerge in endlessly.

In the swamp, there are lush aquatic plants, many mangroves, countless mosquitoes and leeches, the muddy road is very difficult, and the ground is full of water, all kinds of crocodiles and piranhas appear, and there is very little land. It is impossible to cross the swamp without beasts .

Fortunately, the road to the Clam Tribe is not difficult, and it can be reached along the woods on the edge of the swamp.

On the edge is the place of the Kuo tribe. When Li Yan and others were walking along this road, the people of the Kuo tribe came to have a look. After finding out that it was the Jiang tribe, they became warm and polite. The son of the tribe leader Kuo Quan It is even more active escort.

A group of people walked along the edge of the swamp, bypassed the swamp, and came to the river.

This is not a swamp, so it's easy to walk a lot, so Kuo Quan and the others also left.

Li Yan led the team all the way south along the river. After walking for about an hour, they saw a wooden city village hundreds of meters ahead.

Muchengzhai was built by the river, with several sheds on both sides.

Some people were fishing by the river, and some people drove rafts into the river to pull fish. There were many fields on the edge of the forest not far away, where the Bang people planted and collected, and some people were even afraid of picking fruits from the trees.

Li Yan's team approached, and the Beng people hurried over to greet them.

When we came to the gate of the clam tribe, two parasaurolophus, two acuminosaurs, and a triceratops ran here from a distance, and the head of the clam tribe on the triceratops was sweating profusely.

"Patriarch Yan, we happened to be hunting nearby, and I hurried back when I heard you coming."

Clan leader Peng threw a big horned wild sheep on the back of Triceratops to the ground with a smile, and said: "Wild sheep, hehe, Clan leader Yan, I will treat you well."

"Wild sheep is good, I like to eat mutton." Li Yan said with a smile, and at the same time arranged for the tribe to settle down here.

The leader of the clam tribe ordered people to take the prey to deal with it.

Li Yan got off the beast, and went to a large shed next to the city with the head of the Bang clan.

The shed covers an area of ​​several hundred square meters, surrounded by a three-meter-high wooden wall. There are several workshops inside, and even some tools for processing leather goods are complete. There is a wooden plaque above the main entrance, engraved with Five Chinese characters: "Jiangnan Leather Factory".

The construction of this Jiangnan leather factory started before Li Yan set off for the Wuxian Tribe. It was completed a few days ago and was funded by the Jiang Tribe, with the help of the Bang Tribe.

After the Jiangnan leather factory is completed, it can accommodate a maximum of 100 workers. However, currently only [-] workers are planned, and ten of them are slaves of the Jiang tribe.

There is another shed next to the leather factory, which is where the hunting team of the Jiang tribe is stationed.

In the future, after the hunting team of the Jiang tribe hunts animal skins from the swamp, they will be sent directly to this Jiangnan leather factory for processing, processed into various leather materials, and then sent back to the Jiang tribe to make various finished products. Increase manpower to expand production capacity, and the core technology will not be spread out.

The Jiang Tribe not only increased the employment of the Bang Tribe, but also promised to give the Bang Tribe [-] Bei coins as "rent" every year.

Therefore, the Bang tribe attaches great importance to the leather factory invested by the Jiang tribe, and offered many preferential conditions, such as allowing the Jiang tribe to live in Mucheng, with enough resources, and even setting aside a field near the river for the Jiang tribe to plant. .

Li Yan brought more than 20 slaves here. In addition to ten slaves who went to work in the factory, there were also more than ten slaves who were responsible for planting the land to increase food, so that the Jiang tribe could reduce the grain transportation to the clam tribe.

After the Jiang people came to the Bang tribe, they began to arrange for the left-behind staff to complete the board and lodging matters, as well as the training of the workers. It is estimated that after a while, the leather factory will officially start production.

On the second day, Li Yan didn't want to wait any longer, so he led some hunting team members into the swamp to hunt giant rhinos and collect animal skins.
