Zhao Hao directly called A'hua, Ashan and other five people to him, and asked with a smile, "How is your winter fodder preparation? Is it enough for your own livestock?"

This question is almost like a joke.

All five of them were stupefied, everyone was stunned for a while, and Ah Shan, who had the best relationship with Zhao Hao, said awkwardly: "Well, I just came back, and I haven't started preparing fodder yet. It seems that I can only exchange it with meat. gone."

He is the only one in Ah Shan's family. He used to be unable to eat a full meal. Since he joined Zhao Hao, the changes can be described as earth-shaking. Let alone meat, he has eaten the meat of exotic animals. How much is full.

At this moment, he had more than a hundred cattle, sheep and horses in his hands, and he definitely couldn't prepare the forage for the winter by himself.

Zhao Hao nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "Then do you think you can get enough forage with meat?"

This one seems to be difficult.

Ah Shan was a little annoyed: "Everyone is collecting hay now, I'm afraid I won't be able to collect as much as I want!"

now it's right.

Zhao Hao suddenly said surprisingly: "Then don't accept it for now, you guys, gather all your subordinates and go to do something."

Ah!

You can't even collect the fodder at this moment, so you still have to go to work?

All five were dumbfounded.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao then explained: "Think about it, are there many tribes still worrying about food for the winter? If we find those tribes, tell them that as long as they agree to join our salt department , not only can we get livestock, but we can also mow grass to earn meat, as long as we mow a little grass every day, we can guarantee that we will not starve all winter, will there be many tribesmen joining our salt department?"

This means that they are going to annex other tribes again!

It's not the first time that the Ministry of Salt has done this. That's how the Qinghe Ministry was annexed.

This idea seems to be very good!

You know, two years ago, the Ministry of Salt was also worried about food for the winter. At that time, people in the Ministry of Salt almost starved to death every winter.

It can be said that apart from the Yanbu and Heishibu, there are almost no tribes that don't have to worry about food for the winter at the moment!

However, it seems that it is not so easy for people to abandon everything for food and join the salt department.

Ah Shan thought for a while before hesitatingly said: "I think they should agree."

If you don't agree, you have to agree. All the tribes around the grassland will sooner or later be merged into the Ministry of Salt!

Zhao Hao smiled confidently, then waved his hand and said: "You immediately gather your men and horses and divide them into teams of a hundred people, and then, from the edge of the grassland, along the river into the wild jungle, search all the way there, within two days, if If you can’t find any trace of any tribe within two days, then quickly turn around, change the river, and continue looking.”

There are quite a few rivers on this grassland, but except for the big river several miles wide in the east, the others are basically small rivers with a width of about tens of meters.

At this time, the general tribes live by the water. Although it cannot be said that there are tribes near every small river, the probability of finding other tribes is still very high if you look for them in the jungle along the small rivers.

When Ah Shan and the others heard the words, they immediately responded with excitement on their faces, and then ran quickly to gather their men.

How many tribes are there around this grassland?

To be honest, even Cangwu doesn’t know about this, because there are no roads right now, and if you want to go to other tribes, it’s very troublesome, not to mention the time-consuming travel over mountains and ridges, and you may encounter ferocious or even strange beasts on the way, Therefore, at this time, the tribes generally seldom communicate with each other. The Heishi tribe, which only knows the surrounding tribes for about a month, will not be clear if they go out of this range.

The one-month journey refers to the one-month journey on foot across the mountains. On the grasslands, it is roughly equivalent to two days of galloping on horseback.

After Ah Shan and the others divided their men into fifteen hundred-man teams, they searched the wild jungle along the river on the edge of the grassland.

Not to mention, this method was really good. Three days later, a team reported back and found a small tribe of more than 100 people.

Zhao Hao is not in a hurry to annex this small tribe, because more than 100 people are still too few for the Ministry of Salt and the Ministry of Black Stone. If he wants to prepare enough forage for the winter, and build enough sheep pens, cattle pens and stables, at least It also requires thousands of new clansmen to join.

At this time, it is only about a month before winter, and he has no time to annex this small tribe with only more than 100 people. If he wants to annex it, he must annex two small tribes with more than 300 people, so that he can catch up "Find" thousands of new tribesmen before winter.

The search speed of the 500-hundred-member team was quite astonishing. In five days, they found eight tribes. The smallest number of these eight tribes was only a few dozen people, and the largest number was four to five hundred people.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Hao decided to lead the team himself to try to annex the small tribe of 500 people. The other seven teams who found the target would try with meat to see if they would join the Salt Ministry. If you don't want to, then let them starve all winter!

As for the remaining seven hundred-man teams, let them continue to search.

Chapter 138

Beishanbu is a tribe with more than 400 people. Its location is roughly beside a small river that is more than half a month's journey east of Yanbu. If you take a detour from the grassland on horseback, it will take about two days.

To be honest, a tribe with more than 400 people is not considered a small tribe in this wild jungle. Generally, a small tribe has only about 100 people. It is not so easy to grow to more than 400 people.

However, more people are not necessarily a good thing.

Because people have to eat every day, if they don’t eat, they will starve to death. The more people there are, the greater the demand for food. Especially in winter, when you can’t go hunting for three or four months, the food you need to reserve is not ordinary. many.

At this moment, the grandmother in Beishanbu is worrying about food for the winter.

They are also facing the same predicament as the Qinghe tribe, that is, there are too many people and too few resources around them. She has brought the young and strong of the clan to hunt almost all the prey within half a day's journey around the four weeks. However, the food for winter Still not enough.

She even wanted to take the young and strong of the clan to venture into the grasslands to the north to hunt, but she has been hesitating.

In fact, the Northern Mountains are less than a day away from the grasslands in the north. There are bison, wild sheep, and wild horses on the grasslands. There are simply too many to count, if you encounter them, you will die!

To go or not to go?

This afternoon, she was sitting cross-legged in her treehouse, frowning and meditating, when a clansman ran in and said happily, "Mother, mother, there are many people coming from the north."

There are a lot of people coming from the north!

What are you so happy about?

Aunt Beishan got up slowly and said: "How many people have come, why are you so happy?"

The tribe still couldn't help but rejoice and said: "I'm afraid there will not be hundreds of people here, they brought a lot of dried meat!"

So much dried meat!

When Beishan's mother heard the words, she couldn't help getting up excitedly and walking outside.

What they lack is food!

No matter why these people came here with dried meat, if there is food, she must find a way to stay!

She had just walked out of the tree house, when a little girl who was playing outside ran over quickly, opened her arms, and said innocently: "Grandma, hug, hug."

Aunt Beishan caressed the little girl's head dotingly, and said softly: "Good boy, Aunt has something to do, so I can't carry you with her, just play here."

After finishing speaking, she left her daughter behind and followed the clansman who reported the news, and walked quickly to the north.

Zhao Hao was also frowning at the moment, because he found that although the people in this tribe were very excited after seeing the bacon, their eyes did not glow green.
