What should I do if I accidentally come to the ancient times?

Of course, Great Elder Nanhua just sighed, and he also knew that it was impossible to build a bridge on the Luo River.

Immediately afterwards, he asked, "Lin Luo, how are your preparations going?"

Elder Lin Luo said without hesitation: "It's all ready. I have arranged for people to cut enough wood and dried it in the sun. They are moving here now, and they should be able to move here tomorrow morning."

It turned out to be the case.

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realized.

I have prepared enough wood and dried it in the sun. It must be something like a big boat. I just don't know what kind of boat the people under Elder Linluo can build.

This question was answered the next morning.

The number of people Elder Linluo summoned was too many. Zhao Hao roughly estimated that there were thousands of people, and these people were all carrying logs.

If so much wood is used to build ships, at least dozens of them can be built.

It's a pity that they don't know how to build ships at all, or in other words, they don't know how to build such big ships as Haotianling.

They will only use the most primitive method, using strong rattan to tie the logs in a row to make a wide raft.

They made about fifty of these rafts.

That is to say, basically one raft for every three people.

Of course, they also brought a lot of horses and carriages, and there were at least four horses and a carriage on each raft.

Zhao Hao frowned when he saw the raft they made.

This kind of raft crosses the river, it must not exhaust a person to death!

A raft is not the same as a boat. The bottom of a boat is at least streamlined, which can reduce the resistance of the water. However, a raft is directly square, and it is a laborious effort to row. Not only is it laborious, but the speed is also very slow.

Fortunately, they also know how to make oars, and the current on this section of the river is not urgent. Otherwise, it would be impossible to use this raft to cross such a wide river.

Elder Linluo organized more than 1000 tribesmen to work hard for a day, and more than 50 rafts were finally completed. Early in the morning of the third day, Zhao Hao and his party started to cross the river.

According to Zhao Hao's arrangement, the guards basically consisted of three people on a raft, plus two carriages and eight horses, while he brought Ji Rushuang, A Yun and others together to carry a carriage and the Bailong family, Take a raft.

After the raft was launched into the water, he felt the difficulty of advancing to the opposite bank. Although he and Ji Rushuang rowed desperately left and right, the forward speed of the raft was still far behind the speed of the water.

They were just pushed by the current, all the way to the east, and it took them more than an hour to row to the opposite bank. At this time, the other rafts hadn't landed yet. There are more than a hundred steps away.

No way, the left and right sides of the raft must be balanced. No matter how strong the great elder Nanhua is, the speed of the raft will not be fast if the other person opposite him does not have the strength of more than [-] catties.

Therefore, he and Ji Rushuang are the fastest to row the raft together, and the others are still paddling desperately on the river.

Driven by the flowing water, more than [-] rafts were disintegrated, and some rafts were even washed away more than ten miles away.

After Zhao Hao's family went ashore, they could only wait by the river.

After a long while, the Great Elder Nanhua finally came over panting, looking at the scattered rafts, he said in a little embarrassment: "Haotian, why don't we set up our tents and wait, today we will be able to wait." It’s not bad if everyone can cross the river safely.”

Well, Zhao Hao could only nod his head slightly, and then he took Ji Rushuang and others to set up a tent.

This crossing of the river was really strenuous, and it wasn't until the afternoon that Zhao Hao's personal guards and Nanhua Great Elder's strong men rushed to the place where they camped one after another.

After crossing the Luoshui River, there are still gentle hilly terrain ahead, and there are many flat basins, but none of the excavated farmland is seen, and there are only waist-high grasses in sight, and there are not even roads.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, after setting up the tent, Zhao Hao set up a grand banquet again, and invited Great Elder Nanhua to the tent. After he was full of wine and food, he finally couldn't help but wondered: "Elder, why are you alone on this journey? I haven't seen it yet, isn't this the territory of the Taihua Department?"

Hearing this, the Great Elder of Nanhua couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "Uh, this was originally the southern border of the Taihua Department, and the population is sparse. Our Ji Zhou family also ventured across Luoshui to create the territory of Nanhua. In the past, Basically no one wants to come here.”

It turned out to be the case.

It seems that this Nanhua territory is a bit out of touch with the Taihua Department.

Zhao Hao then asked again: "Then how long will we have to walk before we see people?"

The Great Elder Nanhua thought for a while, and then estimated: "If we go at the previous speed, we will have to walk for at least eight days before we can see the crowds. Now, with the carriage, I guess, we will be able to walk in about four or five days. I saw people smoking."

In four or five days, according to their current speed, they can at least advance five or six hundred miles north.

From the looks of it, this area is really not that remote, there is no one inhabited for more than five hundred miles!

At this time, Zhao Hao really realized the difficulty of traveling in ancient times. It took a day to cross the river, not to mention, there is not even a person in the five or six hundred miles, and he has to rely on people to open the way to move forward. At this time, I really dare not travel far without any skills.

Chapter 293 Decay

In ancient times, it usually only took about 300 years for a dynasty to go from prosperity to decay, and this was the case for almost every dynasty.

From the very beginning, when the dynasty was first established, the king was ambitious and wanted to create a foundation for eternity, and everything was done vigorously. The entire dynasty developed rapidly and gradually entered a prosperous age.

Then, various malpractices gradually emerged, and the ruling class seemed to have lost their minds collectively, committing suicide in various ways until they themselves were killed.

In the end, a new dynasty emerged, and once again, it was thriving and turned to decay and dilapidation. Every dynasty seems to be unable to escape this curse.

So, would the tribes in ancient times be like this?

In fact, there are already such signs in the Ministry of Taihua, but the Nanhua where Zhao Hao lives is a new territory created by the Ji Zhou family with all their efforts. They are equivalent to the initial stage of a dynasty, so there are no signs of decay yet. .

The territory of the first line of the chief of the Taihua Department is different. Here, it has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, and various signs of decay have slowly appeared.

For example, the territory of Luobei elders, which is next to Nanhua.

At first, Zhao Hao didn't feel anything, because there was no human habitation at all on the north shore of Luoshui.

Four days later, they worked hard for more than [-] miles in the weedy hilly basin, and finally saw the traces of the farmland.

That night, the Great Elder Nanhua took the initiative to recruit Zhao Hao and Ji Rushuang into his tent, and said with some embarrassment, "Haotian, did you prepare any gifts for the elders in the territory along the way?"

Zhao Hao nodded without hesitation and said, "I prepared some, but I don't know if it's suitable."

Great Elder Nanhua then asked, "What have you prepared?"

Zhao Hao said like a few treasures: "Meat and leather goods, pottery and iron wares, horses and carriages, knives, coins, etc., I have prepared some in Zhennan Castle, and there are exotic beasts, close to the existence of divine beasts, and I will also use them if necessary. You can give some away."

The Great Elder Nanhua nodded slightly, and then solemnly said: "You may not know the preferences of these people, or you can take out some prepared gifts and add mine. In the name of the whole Nanhua, we will together?"

Zhao Hao really didn't know what these people liked, so he nodded without hesitation again and said, "Grand Elder, tell me, what do you need to give?"

The Great Elder Nanhua thought about it, and then murmured: "Ordinary meat is fine, they don't lack these, and they don't need too many leather goods. For ordinary elders like Luobei, just pick a few exquisite ones. For ironware, it’s not necessary. The pottery you Haotian collared is pretty good. You can send some. Carriages and horses are the best, but it’s not advisable to send more. Just send a carriage and a few horses. Knife Coins and dimes are more exquisite, and you can give them more. By the way, guess what they lack the most?"

Zhao Hao thought for a while, and then estimated: "They should lack the existence of strange beasts and beasts close to the gods."

Elder Nanhua nodded slowly and said: "Yes, they lack this, and this is their favorite. This time, I also prepared some exotic animal meat, but it is far from yours. No, I have a thousand catties of exotic animal meat, how about you, Kui beef, four elephants, and saber-toothed tiger meat, one hundred catties each?"
