Everyone disembarked, returning to the Tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Tribe entrance, only carriages awaited. Yan Hua and the others boarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Step step step…*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, they arrived beneath the Yong’an Building. Sha Lan, carrying the Water Beaver, accompanied Yan Hua upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shaman, we’ve returned,\" Yan Hua said, blinking her red eyes as she reached the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Lan followed closely behind, firmly embracing the Water Beaver, which remained compliant without struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How was your journey these past few days? Did you enjoy yourselves?\" Su Bai enquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was fun.\" Yan Hua responded cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Hua naturally felt delighted. Simply leaving the Tribe was happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai observed the beast in Sha Lan’s embrace, enquiring with curiosity, \"Is that your new companion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"En. I acquired it this morning. It now accompanies me.\" Sha Lan replied happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Lan continuously gazed down at the Water Beaver, finding its round form exceptionally adorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this species called? Where did you acquire it? It seems quite blue.\" Su Bai asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a Water Beaver. While we progressed along the river…\" Sha Lan enthusiastically recounted the circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long desired a companion beast. Observing Rolly, Ah Hen, and Ye Jiu’s wolf only intensified that wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. This little one appears to favour you because you rescued it.\" Su Bai smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yup. And it is so cute. I really want to keep it.\" Sha Lan declared without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Lan now embraced it firmly, reluctant to release it, finding the sensation remarkably comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s what you want and poses no threat, sure, keep it.\" Su Bai said, raising his tea cup for a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s so adorable. Not the slightest bit dangerous.\" Sha Lan urgently assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shall apply my Shaman Technique to it. That will be additional security.\" Su Bai offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Lan nodded repeatedly, carrying the Water Beaver forward. \"Thank you, Shaman. That was precisely my thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reasoned that if the Water Beaver was to accompany her permanently, the Shaman Technique would be necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar to the previous situation with Peak Eagle. This would ensure obedience to her commands without concerns about excessive wildness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is the Sea Fish Tribe doing?\" Su Bai enquired while applying the Taming Skill to the Water Beaver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Lan continued observing the Water Beaver while speaking, \"Sea Fish Tribe is being managed quite effectively. While some resist the new administration, the issues remain minimal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Resistance to new management is natural. It will improve gradually. Has everyone received work assignments?\" Su Bai continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone has work now. Reliable individuals were assigned to salt drying. Unreliable ones perform manual labour within the Tribe.\" Sha Lan immediately reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good,\" Su Bai withdrew his hands, continuing, \"Did you teach them the fishing methods as I requested?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We did. They learn rapidly, successfully catching substantial quantities of fish,\" Sha Lan nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fishing methods involved hooks and vine nets for coastal waters exclusively, naturally. Venturing too far risked being swept away by waves. Consequently, they could not capture particularly large fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their maritime transportation remained wood rafts, requiring extreme caution to avoid being carried away by currents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great. Safety remains the top priority. Once ship production increases, they can venture out by ship as well.\" Su Bai nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Previously, incidents have occurred where people got swept into the sea. So, they would be on guard out at sea.\" Sha Lan quickly confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, constructing one ship requires a considerable amount of time. The Sea Fish Tribe likely won’t be able to possess ships in the short term,\" Yan Hua added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Hua had observed the ship’s exceptional size and magnificence. Constructing a second one would prove far from simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a plan that can temporarily address the gap before large ships are produced,\" Su Bai smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had devoted substantial consideration to this matter. Simply awaiting Long’s completion of the large ship proved insufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, small vessel production warranted consideration. This would better support development for coastal or riverside Tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shaman, what are you planning?\" Sha Lan enquired curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Lan observed the Water Beaver traversing the floor, apparently filled with curiosity about its surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can initially produce small boats. These boats lack cabins, requiring minimal construction time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai set down his tea cup, continuing, \"One small boat can accommodate two or three people for maritime ventures without difficulty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind envisioned Earth’s dugout canoes, or alternatively, the small fishing vessels employed by fishermen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These could accommodate one or two individuals without issue. Presently, catching exceptionally large quantities of fish remained impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small boats provided enough in terms of capacity. Providing the Sea Fish Tribe with small boats posed no significant challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small boat construction fundamentally resembled wood rafts, differing primarily in configuration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shaman, what do small boats look like?\" Sha Lan enquired with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having experienced the impressive large ship, they naturally wondered about small boats’ appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can they also navigate rivers for three days and nights?\" Yan Hua expressed equal curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha ha ha,\" Su Bai laughed heartily, continuing, \"Three-day river navigation might be impossible. But fishing expeditions and their return to shore should not be an issue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small boat production never intended prolonged voyages. Their purpose was facilitating the fishing for fishermen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowing them to risk wood raft voyages seemed unreasonable. Substantial waves would sweep them beneath the sea immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. Daily fishing expeditions truly don’t require cabins,\" Sha Lan nodded thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shaman, if so, are sails also unnecessary?\" Yan Hua continued enquiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct. Small boats require neither cabins nor sails. Only a basic hull form and two oars suffice,\" Su Bai retrieved a design diagram from the table, passing it forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had drawn this diagram several days prior, his intention being to address certain livelihood concerns for the Sea Fish Tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This seems a lot simpler,\" Sha Lan accepted the diagram, examining it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Present this to Long to commence production. If the Sea Fish Tribe demonstrates satisfactory performance, transfer it to them.\" Su Bai instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood,\" Sha Lan acknowledged softly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1014,"2026-06-05T22:27:01.186Z",1,"novelbin.me","0cba634f1174707fc23f740b0c959293db5a2874e1030c034b83fe456e47a965","i-became-the-chief-of-a-primitive-village-chapter-723","i-became-the-chief-of-a-primitive-village-chapter-721",983,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-the-chief-of-a-primitive-village-cover.jpg"]
