Chapter 251 New Ideas
The escorts left shouting all the way, taking the news to every village.
At the same time, at the Red Rock Camp, after a night's rest, the eyes that had been hit by the ban on the altar had basically returned to normal, which made Zhou Xu greatly relieved. .
At this time, Shi Lei was responsible for the main work on the front line, but there really weren't many things that he needed to worry about personally.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu. In this way, he can rest peacefully and recover the mantra power that he consumed in the previous battle.
After getting enough sleep, the mantra's power was still far from being fully restored, but that didn't stop Zhou Xu from finding something to do for himself.
Once this mountain range has been conquered, it will naturally be developed.
Now the six tribes entrenched in this mountain range have been eliminated by them one after another. The post-war work can basically be handled in the past two days.
It is naturally time to think about how to develop in the future.
There must be some ideas.
But before, Zhou Xu had no idea what this mountain range was like.
He can't just arrange things based on imagination, can he?
Next, he will definitely build a village in this mountain range, but he will have to conduct some on-site inspections to determine where to build the village.
Under this premise, the location of the camps of the six tribes must be good enough to allow the populations of the six tribes to survive.
But it is obviously impossible for Zhou Xu to directly build six villages here.
Not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, the expanded manpower that was finally obtained through the recruitment of the population in this wave will also be dispersed in large numbers, which does not make much sense.
Revolving around this issue, Zhou Xu fell into deep thought.
The area of this mountain range is far beyond that of the barren mountain they had before. It is at least four to five times larger than that barren mountain. Otherwise, six tribes would not be able to survive here.
At this stage, the area with the richest natural resources is indeed the area occupied by Manshi during his lifetime.
But this area is too far from Huangshan Village.
If he builds a village on the original camp of the Manshi Tribe, after the village is completed, it will probably take three to four days to travel from the barren mountain village to the new village, all the way over the mountains and ridges, even for an experienced mountain walker. .
This is without considering material transportation.
If you take this into consideration, it’s hard to say how much time it will take.
Zhou Xu pondered this issue for a while, and then an idea came to his mind.
"Shi Lei, what do you think if I move the barren mountain village to the inside of the mountain range, to the flat land near the mountain?"
While talking, Zhou Xu spread out the animal skin map he had drawn in the past few days in front of his eyes, and stretched out his hand to point out the location.
This situation made Shi Lei frown slightly.
"The leader wants to relocate the Barren Mountain Village?"
"That's right."
According to Shi Lei's idea, the Barren Mountain Village was just completed in the early winter of last year. Moved after just one winter?
After all this trouble, how much time, manpower and material resources will be spent to build a new village?
Although Shi Lei was one of the first primitive people to submit to him, some of the primitive people's nature, or the style and thinking of doing things, are still impossible to be exactly the same as Zhou Xu, a modern person.
In Shi Lei's view, their barren mountain village has been built very well.
Under this premise, unless the barren mountain village is destroyed by a disaster, he will not move easily. The main reason is that he is reluctant to leave.
But Zhou Xu’s idea is different. His idea is very simple, that is, if there is a better place, change it.
Now when he faced Shi Lei, he expressed his thoughts without any reservation. "Barren Mountain Village was built on the basis of the original tribal camp. Although I made major changes based on my own ideas at the time, there are some problems that cannot be solved through major changes."
< br>
“For example, this terrain is halfway up the mountain.”
As Zhou Xu spoke, he pointed to the location of Barren Mountain Village marked on the map.
“The terrain on this mountain is undulating. Originally, the primitive tribe just set up a very simple tent, which is okay, but in the future I will definitely develop it, which will inevitably require the construction of various facilities. At the same time, we need to expand and add more villages. The construction area will be greatly increased if it is constructed on the mountainside. ”
At this point, Zhou Xu changed the topic...
“On the other hand, you shouldn’t be unfamiliar with this area, right?”
“This should be between us and the original Blackwood Tribe. The junction?”
“That’s right.”
Zhou Xu nodded.
"But to be precise, the location I am referring to is close to the original location of the Blackwood Tribe, near the foot of the mountain on this side."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Then he continued talking.
“The terrain of this area is gentle, close to rivers and bamboo forests, and there are many natural resources nearby. If we move the barren mountain village here, there will be no impact of the terrain, and subsequent construction can get twice the result with half the effort.”
< br>While speaking, Zhou Xu pointed to another point on the map.
“Then here, I plan to build a new village, located close to a central location between the original Wild Stone Tribe and the Red Stone Tribe.”
Zhou Xu paused, then pointed at two points on the map and made quick gestures.
“As long as we arrange it this way, according to my estimation, the time it takes to get from the new village to the Barren Mountain Village can be controlled within three days. This is why I want the Barren Mountain Village to move.”< br>
“After all, coming from Salt Lake Village, we can take an ox cart or even ride a horse, which greatly improves the efficiency of mobile transportation. The barren hills are relatively short, so it doesn’t take much time to climb over the mountains, but it is too long to get to the new village. Far away."
"In order to ensure safety, a relatively close connection must be established between the new village and the barren mountain village."
"Of course, all this must be carried out lightly. When it comes to transportation issues, it will be slow, but there is nothing we can do about it. After all, we are in the mountains. Unless roads are built, it will be difficult to solve this problem. ”
Zhou Xu felt worried when he mentioned this matter.
Building roads in the mountains? This thing sounds simple, but how can it be so easy to do?
Not to mention in this primitive era, even in the world before he traveled, the roads in some remote mountainous areas were not repaired.
This is a big project, and it cannot be completed in a short time.
Under Zhou Xu’s patient explanation, Shi Lei obviously understood what he was thinking.
I have to say, he was convinced.
His eyes only saw the barren mountain village, but their leader was looking at the whole situation!
"The leader is wise! His subordinates are short-sighted!"
Looking at Shi Lei who looked convinced, Zhou Xu smiled.
“Don’t be too discouraged. The villages on the mountainside do not mean that they will not be used immediately. They can be converted into outposts for garrison and placed in that position. If there is an invasion from foreign enemies in the future, they can enter there. You can attack, retreat or defend.”
"Yes!"
