Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Zhou Zhongshan is good everywhere, but he is easy to worry about gains and losses.

But in fact, he was not like this at the beginning, and the reason why he became like this is also easy to understand.

That's because they develop too fast.

It is no exaggeration to say that the changes have been earth-shaking from the original primitive tribe that escaped and may perish at any time, to the current village group with hundreds of people and no worries about food and drink.

This is like the panic that a person feels after suddenly becoming rich.

It's perfectly normal to lose your way while bearing a huge impact.

But leaving this point aside, from the perspective of positioning, Zhou Zhongshan is a general, and he needs to show his value through fighting.

If there is no battle, his value cannot be reflected.

Under this premise, the tribe taken over by Zhou Xu directly embarked on a road of immersing themselves in development. After reclaiming the fields, they became more active in farming.

Although there were battles during the period, the frequency was not high. After finally facing the Manshi tribe, it turned out that they couldn't beat the Manshi tribe by themselves, and needed the support of the leader to cover them, so they took down the Manshi tribe.

The faster and better they developed, the more anxious he became.

When not fighting, he had nothing else to do except training and his own training. Invisibly, this also formed his psychological pressure.

If things go on like this, there will definitely be big problems.

Looking at Zhou Zhongshan, who seemed to have untied the knot in his heart after receiving the sword, Zhou Xu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

[Thanks to me for discovering it early. 】

In response to this situation, the best way at the moment is to give affirmation!

And the reward itself is a kind of affirmation.

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed his own negligence that Zhou Zhongshan fell into anxiety.

He found that Zhou Zhongshan was indeed the one who faced the most serious problem among all his subordinates.

Take Shi Lei and Li Ce, who are also generals, for example, they are the type who can lead troops to command operations, so while training troops and maintaining their own training on weekdays, Zhou Xu also arranges daily military affairs for them to handle.

Under this premise, Zhou Zhongshan is different from them. He is the only pure fierce general. He doesn't have to take care of military affairs, and he doesn't have to fight. He can't find his own value, which is why he is what he is now.

Fortunately, Zhou Xu discovered it in time.

Use rewards to appease him first, and then find opportunities to enlighten him slowly.

In the next few days, Zhou Xu had recovered the power of the mantra anyway, so he ran to practice the mantra and helped the logging team clean up the trees along the way.

When the power of the mantra is almost consumed and he needs to rest, he will transfer his energy to the construction of the new village. If there is nothing to do here, he will take the soldiers headed by Zhou Zhongshan around the mountain to see what new things can be found. discovery.

By the way, if you encounter any wild animals in the mountains, you will hunt them down so as not to pose a threat to the new village in the future.

[Eye of insight! 】

As soon as the mantra was spoken, Zhou Xu's field of vision suddenly widened.

With his greatly improved insight, he soon discovers something.

A few steps forward, Zhou Xu bent down to pick up a stone.

This stone presents a black-gray color. In terms of color alone, it can be said to be very low-key, very similar to ordinary stones, and it is even more inconspicuous in the relatively dimly lit mountains and forests.

But when Zhou Xu held it in his hand, he could clearly feel that the texture of this stone was quite different from ordinary stones.

This is a piece of ore!

"Chongshan, this area should be the area where the red ore was discovered at that time?"

"Yes."

While speaking, Zhou Zhongshan looked around for a while, and then pointed in a direction.

"The original camp of the Redstone Tribe was over there."

【In other words, this is near the iron ore vein...】

The thought flashed, and Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the black-gray ore again.

"Is this also a piece of iron ore?"

To be honest, compared to the red ore before, the black-gray ore in his hand is more in line with his impression of iron ore.

So when he saw a piece of red ore, he really didn't think about the 'iron ore'.

At this time, Zhou Xu, who didn't have much research on ores, didn't know that those red ores were actually hematite with a high iron content.

And iron ore does not mean that there is only one color of ore. The color of iron ore is reddish brown, iron black or steel gray, etc...

While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu directly stuffed the black ore to Zhou Zhongshan.

"Chongshan, take this ore back, and let the person responsible for picking up the ore nearby pay attention, don't just pick up the red ore."

At this moment, since the basic camp of the new village has not yet been set up, the mine veins here have not yet been developed.

After annihilating the Manshi tribe and occupying the mountain here, although Zhou Xu thought that his strength was extremely powerful in the primitive era, he had not yet reached the point of expansion.

Mining veins directly at this juncture?

What is the difference between just after the war and the expansion of the territory, the infrastructure on the border has not yet been completed, and they are rushing to start farming under the nose of the enemy?

This approach was too reckless. According to Zhou Xu's temperament, it was obviously impossible to do such a thing.

After the order was sent back, the workload of those responsible for picking up the ore undoubtedly increased.

After all, red ore is conspicuous and easy to find, while other ores are not so easy to find.

However, after a period of time, a certain amount was still accumulated, and they were sent back to Black Moon Village for smelting over mountains and mountains.

Afterwards, news came from Heiyue Village, and it was thoroughly confirmed that those black-gray ores were indeed iron ores!

Just according to what Zhou Dachui said, the amount of iron produced by these black-gray ores seems to be inferior to that of red ores.

But Zhou Xu doesn't dislike it, whether it produces more or less? Pick up everything that can be picked up. Before this vein is officially mined, this is a precious resource!

In this way, another period of time has passed. After spending the hottest period of midsummer in the mountains, the temperature is now slowly dropping.

During this period of time, large areas of rocks and trees in the new village area have been emptied by them, and the processed stones and wood have been piled up into hills outside the camp for the construction team to use.

The construction of the new village has officially entered the next stage.

During this period, the relocation of the Barren Mountain Village was also completely completed, and the old site was renamed "Baren Mountain Stronghold", while the new site continued to use the name "Baren Mountain Village".

On this day, Zhou Xu happened to be recuperating here. After confirming that the mantra power in his body had been fully recovered, he ordered someone to call Zhou Zhongshan over.

"Chongshan, it's been a while since I promised to bless you. What do you think? Which blessing do you want?"
