Throne of Vientiane Civilization

The escort left yelling all the way, taking the news to every village.

At the same time, after a night's rest at the Redstone Camp, those eyes that had been backlashed by the altar's prohibition had basically returned to normal, which made Zhou Xu heave a sigh of relief.

At this time, on the front line, Shi Lei was taking care of the main work, but there really wasn't much for him to worry about himself.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu. In this way, he can rest at ease and recover the power of mantra that he consumed in the previous battle.

After getting enough sleep, the power of the mantra is still far from being fully recovered, but it does not prevent Zhou Xu from finding something to do for himself.

If this mountain range has been knocked down, it will naturally be developed.

Now the six tribes entrenched in this mountain range have all been taken away by them one after another, and the post-war work is basically done in these two days.

Naturally, it is time to think about how to develop in the future.

There must be ideas.

But Zhou Xu didn't know what happened to this mountain range before.

He can't just arrange things based on imagination, right?

Next, he will definitely build a village in this mountain range, but he will have to conduct some more on-the-spot investigations on where to build the village.

Under this premise, the location of the camps of the six tribes must be able to meet the environment that allows the population of the six tribes to survive, and it is definitely not bad.

But it was obviously impossible for Zhou Xu to directly establish six villages here.

Not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive effort, this wave of recruiting and expanding manpower will also be scattered in large numbers, which is not very meaningful.

Surrounding this question, Zhou Xu fell into deep thought.

The area of ​​this mountain range is far from comparable to the barren mountain before them, at least four to five times larger than that barren mountain, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate six tribes to live here.

As far as the current stage is concerned, the area with the richest natural resources is indeed the area that Manshi occupied during his lifetime.

But this area is too far away from the barren mountain village.

If he builds a village on the original camp of the Manshi tribe, after the village is built, he will rush from the barren mountain village to the new village, all the way across the mountains and mountains, even if he is a veteran of mountain walking, I am afraid it will take three to four days. .

This is still without considering the transportation of materials.

If you take this into consideration, it's hard to say how much time it will take.

Regarding this question, Zhou Xu pondered for a while, and then an idea was born in his mind.

"Shi Lei, what do you think if I move the barren mountain village to the inner side of the mountain range, on the flat land near the mountain?"

While speaking, Zhou Xu spread out the animal skin map that he had drawn in the past few days before his eyes, and pointed out the location with his finger.

This situation made Shi Lei frown slightly.

"The leader wants to relocate the barren mountain village?"

"That's right."

According to Shi Lei's thinking, the barren mountain village was just completed in the early winter of last year, so it was just a winter before they moved?

How much time, manpower and material resources will it take to build a new village after such a toss?

Although Shi Lei was one of the earliest primitive people who surrendered to him, it is still impossible for primitive people to be exactly the same as Zhou Xu, a modern person, in terms of their instincts, or in other words, their style of doing things and thinking.

From Shi Lei's point of view, their Barren Mountain Village has been well built.

Under this premise, unless the barren mountain village is ruined by a catastrophe, he will not move the place easily, mainly because he is reluctant.

But Zhou Xu's way of thinking is different. His way of thinking is very simple, that is, change if there is a better place.

Now facing Shi Lei, he also expressed his thoughts without reservation.

"The barren mountain village was built on the basis of the original tribal camp. Although I also combined my own thinking and made major changes at the time, there are some problems that cannot be solved through major changes."

"For example, this terrain is on the mountainside."

While talking, Zhou Xu pointed to the location of the barren mountain village marked on the map.

"The terrain on this mountain is ups and downs. It's okay for the primitive tribe to just set up a tent in a very simple way. But in the future, I will definitely develop and build various facilities. At the same time, it needs to be expanded to increase the area of ​​the village. Construction on the mountainside will greatly increase the difficulty and cost of construction.”

Having said that, Zhou Xu changed the topic...

"Conversely, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with this area, right?"

"This should be the junction between us and the original Blackwood tribe?"

"That's right."

Zhou Xu nodded.

"But to be precise, the location I'm referring to is close to the original location of the Blackwood Tribe, which is near the foot of the mountain on this side."

Having said that, Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief before continuing to speak.

"The terrain in this area is flat, close to rivers and bamboo forests, and there are many natural resources nearby. Moving the barren mountain village here, without the influence of the terrain, subsequent construction can be done with half the effort."

While speaking, Zhou Xu pointed to another point on the map.

"And here, I plan to build a new village, which is close to a central location between the original Manshi tribe and the Redstone tribe."

Zhou Xu paused, then pointed to two points on the map and made a quick gesture.

"As long as this arrangement is made, according to my estimation, the time it takes to travel from the new village to the barren mountain village can be controlled within three days. This is why I want to move the barren mountain village."

"After all, coming from Salt Lake Village, we can take a bullock cart or even ride a horse, which greatly improves the efficiency of transportation. The barren hills are relatively small, and it doesn't take too much time to climb over the hills, but it's too far to get to the new village."

"In order to ensure safety, a relatively close connection must be established between the new village and the barren mountain village."

"Of course, all of this is based on the premise of moving lightly. If it involves transportation, it will be slow, but there is no way to do it. After all, it is in the mountains. Unless roads are built, otherwise this problem will be difficult to solve. "

When this matter was mentioned, Zhou Xu felt worried for a while.

Building roads in the mountains? This thing is easy to say, how can it be so easy to do?

Not to mention in this primitive era, even in the world before he crossed over, some roads in remote mountainous areas were not repaired.

This is a big project, and it cannot be done in a short while.

Under Zhou Xu's patient explanation, Shi Lei obviously understood his thoughts.

Needless 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! It's my subordinates who are short-sighted!"

Looking at the convinced Shi Lei, Zhou Xu smiled.

"Don't be too discouraged. The village on the mountainside does not mean that it will not be used immediately. It can be changed into a garrison outpost. Put it in that position. If there are foreign enemies in the future, it can be attacked and retreated. .”

"yes!"
