Chapter 1007: Why Not Stay?

~7 min read 1,269 words

As for the Suiren Tribe, after several days of tossing and turning, things were finally sorted out, and all work was proceeding smoothly. Baoxi's few Soldiers, who had already been trained in Huaxia, led the way, taking the more than twenty-seven thousand Suiren people who had been counted and organized toward Huaxia; there was not a single Huaxia person in the ranks.

This was because there were few people from Huaxia in the Suiren Tribe to begin with, and now no one could be spared to lead everyone over, while those Soldiers were already familiar with the route and had also shown their faces in Huaxia, so there would be no problems.

The main thing was that Baoxi was also a bit worried; his own son, Chengqie, had already harbored some thoughts he shouldn't have. Although after these few days of education, he appeared stable on the surface, no one knew what he was thinking inside.

Furthermore, the few Leaders among the people he was taking to Huaxia were all his loyal subordinates. Would they follow Chengqie to leave the Suiren Tribe directly, and instead of going to Huaxia, strike out on their own? It was all possible, but for Baoxi, it was no loss. If his own son and his own tribesmen were unwilling to listen to him and wanted to carve out a world of their own, then let them be, as long as it didn't affect his grand plan. However, he could not let the Huaxia people encounter any accidents during this process; otherwise, it would be difficult for him when he went to Huaxia.

He also dispatched over a thousand able-bodied laborers, carrying bamboo baskets and Back Frames built under the guidance of Huaxia Artisans, to go along, because they were going to fetch the grain and Cement provided by Huaxia. How could carrying things by hand or shoulder be as useful as having tools?

And the crafting of tools was also the first step for the Huaxia Workers to demonstrate their strength in the Suiren Tribe, so that the Suiren Tribe's impression of Huaxia would change bit by bit through such small matters.

On the Huaxia side, they had also prepared supplies and set foot on the road forward, preparing to meet up with the Suiren Tribe. Once the connection was successful, both the Suiren Tribe and Huaxia would usher in a completely different future.

Because materials were insufficient, the Workers could only build houses for the Huaxia people first. By peeling wood directly and then using simple mortise and tenon structures to align and stack them bit by bit, they could also build a decent house. The Suiren Tribe had nothing else, but they had plenty of good wood.

They had absolutely no place to use various good timbers; whether it was sturdy or soft wood, it basically only had one use, which was for burning fire, with the only difference being the intensity of the heat.

After the joint efforts of the Huaxia Workers and the Suiren laborers, they finally collected enough wood. Then, at the chosen site, they cleared the foundation, and subsequently, the Workers began to teach these Suiren people.

Although everyone would move away completely in a few years, it was perfectly fine to live in a decent house during these few years. Without requiring durability, a wooden house built in a few days, as long as it didn't catch fire, was perfectly fine to live in for a few years.

The Suiren people went from disdain at the beginning to gradually seeing the four sturdy wooden walls rise, and they were instantly moved and began to learn seriously, because they discovered that this was much better than their mud houses.

With a dozen people and sufficient wood, without requiring aesthetic standards, they could build a house from inside to outside in two days, and they could collect stone slabs to pave the floor. For one, it looked cleaner and tidier, and for another, it could reflect heat in Winter, making the house warmer.

At the same time, the house had reserved positions for doors and windows. Huaxia people's houses had to have windows, otherwise, the lighting in Winter would be completely insufficient. This time, Huaxia also sent them enough Glass. Although there would certainly be breakage, it was nothing more than a matter of the Suiren Tribe providing more manpower.

Inside the room, they also used clay to build a stove and added a chimney, which could ensure that the temperature in the room was sufficient during Winter. The only thing that needed to be worried about was fire safety. Because of their experience, the doors and windows were even placed on the leeward side, not just opened in any random position.

There were many gaps between the wood, so they stuffed them with moss, and then wrapped the outer wall with mud to ensure that not a bit of wind would leak in. All the details were enough for the Suiren people to learn slowly, and they completely fell in love with this kind of house and no longer wanted to live in their mud houses.

They even asked the Huaxia people: "Is it true that everyone in your Huaxia can live in such a house?"

The Huaxia people looked disgusted: "No, no, no, the Slaves in our Huaxia live better than this. This is because we lack the conditions and materials, so we built the house so casually. In Huaxia, no one is willing to live in such a house."

"Then what should a house in Huaxia look like?"

The Huaxia Worker pointed to the foundation of Baoxi's house plan: "When your Tribal Chief's house is built, you will know. This time, we plan to build your Tribal Chief's house the same as those in Huaxia, which is why we need to specifically carry materials from Huaxia and also burn Bricks and Tiles here; it is not easy to build."

The Suiren people could not imagine what kind of house it was, so they could only say to the wooden house: "So it will be much better than this?"

"That is much better. You don't have to be too anxious. You people, I see that you are very capable now. You will continue to work with us later to build the house for your Tribal Chief, and you will be able to learn some things. When you arrive in Huaxia in the future, with these skills, you will be able to live better than your other tribesmen, and perhaps even become a Leader by relying on this."

A rugged man frowned: "Huaxia people, do we really have to go to Huaxia? Isn't our Suiren Tribe good?"

"Just like you few, in our Suiren Tribe, we still have meat to eat every day. Our Tribal Chief treats you so well. If you stayed in the Suiren Tribe, wouldn't it be better than in your Huaxia? Are you also Leaders in Huaxia?"

Once these words were spoken, all the Huaxia Workers laughed. After one of them finished laughing, he pointed at the man and said: "Hey, what you said actually makes some sense. We people are not Leaders in Huaxia, and as for meat, other than fish, it is indeed very difficult to eat other meat. In the Suiren Tribe, we really don't lack meat to eat, but compared to Huaxia, the Suiren Tribe is still too poor and too inconvenient.

In Huaxia, I live better than your Suiren Tribe Leaders. If it were just using meat to trade for my life in Huaxia, I might consider it."
