Chapter 1054: The Changes of the Suiren Tribe

Food and various supplies had already been delivered to the Suiren Tribe. Baoxi looked at the piled-up food and could be said to be exceptionally excited; it was at least enough for many people to successfully get through the Winter.

The Cement had also been delivered. Cement packed in hemp sacks always leaks, so it had to be wrapped and bundled with things like Straw on the outside; this way, even if it leaked, it wouldn't leak too much, and what fell into the Grass could be recovered again. It was also Baoxi's first time seeing the true face of Cement; he found it hard to imagine that such gray dust could build such sturdy walls.

Most of the Glass was safe and sound, but the transport process was bumpy, and Huaxia also lacked the ability to manufacture higher-hardness Glass, so breakage was unavoidable.

In this era, Glass was very precious, at least it was in the Suiren Tribe. They had no way to produce Glass, so those that were broken, but not broken too severely, could be embedded into mud walls; it could let in a little light, which was always better than being pitch black.

Baoxi immediately distributed the broken Glass to some Leaders he favored; a little bit of small preferential treatment was enough to make them grateful.

The remaining unbroken pieces were strictly guarded. Now, the construction task for Baoxi's courtyard was also about to begin; the Bricks and Tiles had already been fired and stacked, ready to start work at any time.

Now that the Cement had arrived, it was mixed with the river sand that had already been fished out and prepared, water was added, and they began to lay bricks on the foundation.

There wasn't that much Cement, so naturally, it was impossible to give Baoxi a foundation poured with Cement. There weren't even a few courtyards in the entire Huaxia that used Cement to pour foundations, let alone here at the Suiren Tribe.

Every day, many curious people came to visit, or rather, sneak a peek; after all, this was an event never seen before, even harder for people to understand than building wooden houses.

Some Leaders had already started building wooden houses for themselves. Huangpin was naturally the first among them; his wooden house was built extremely tall and extremely spacious. At first, he was afraid that Baoxi would be unwilling and would not agree to him doing this.

But unexpectedly, Baoxi directly used women to entertain those Workers and then hoped they would help Huangpin build the largest and best wooden house here. He himself would not envy the wooden house, because he would only have better ones.

Of course, Baoxi did not go back to live in his dilapidated mud house. A wooden house was naturally also built for Baoxi, but it was very simple. After the Glass arrived and it was confirmed that the budget was still very plentiful and there was a surplus, a Glass window was also installed in the house Baoxi was currently living in, allowing Baoxi to enjoy it in advance.

Huangpin could be said to be flattered and could hardly believe it, but the wooden house belonging to him was also built very quickly; it was tall and spacious, and even partitions were made inside the house. The technical level was even a bit better than what the people of Huaxia lived in.

They also laid stone floor tiles for him and wrapped a stove for him so that he could live comfortably in the Winter. Huangpin also did not expect that he would be able to enjoy such good things.

The people of Huaxia were indifferent about themselves; they didn't need to live too well here, as long as they had a suitable house. Glass was also installed for them, and they had everything they should have. If they wanted promotion and wanted merit, they had to be prepared to suffer enough.

As expected, Shisi and his group were heavily used by Baoxi. After all, those who had received training and those who had not were different. However, these people still had to continue to receive training. Their old Squad Leader had already picked out nearly a hundred good seedlings in the Suiren Tribe and had found a venue to start training them.

To the old Squad Leader, Shisi and the others who had received a few days of training were the same as those who had received no training at all—they were all a bunch of raw recruits who didn't understand anything. Being able to understand commands and executing them perfectly were two different things; they had to be drilled well.

Shisi reported to Baoxi what they had encountered on the road and how it was resolved. When Baoxi listened, he was very calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was already cursing. This Chengqie was indeed not that obedient; what exactly did he want to do? Now he only hoped they had already arrived in Huaxia smoothly. He couldn't get news anymore, and he couldn't just make a special trip to Huaxia just to see him.

The people from the Ministry of Health began to extensively develop the land in the Suiren Tribe, searching for useful plants. Upon this search, they really discovered quite a few good things; there were many, many medicinal herbs that could be put to use.

There were not as many Tea Trees as in the Xuanyuan Tribe, and they only grew in certain specific locations, very few. However, they could still be picked and drunk after simple stir-frying. It wasn't as good as what was brought from Huaxia, but at least they had some.

It was just that if they wanted to plant Tea Trees on a large scale in the Suiren Tribe's territory, it seemed a bit difficult. The places that could be planted were too small to form such a large tea plantation, and the distance was far; having spent so much effort, picking wild tea was about the same.

What made them the happiest was that the Chinaberry Tree was found. In the territory to the southeast, there existed a large number of Chinaberry Trees. They did not grow densely, but the quantity was very considerable. Those who went out to search had already taken a large quantity of Melia Bark, preparing to bring it back to the Suiren Tribe for experiments.

If it was confirmed that there were no problems, then they could send a message to Huaxia City to ask how the Chinaberry Trees in this location should be handled—whether to use them in a sustainable development way or a destructive way. After all, Huaxia would likely be unable to manage that location in the future, and it would definitely benefit the Xuanyuan Tribe.

For them, this was already a great merit. Baoxi had already heard them say that there was a medicine that could kill the worms in the stomach, but he only hoped that it would be here; everything was uncertain, so this matter would definitely be a surprise.

As for the takeover of the Suiren Tribe's territory, Changle's students were also thinking about whether to bring their teacher over and continue searching on the Suiren Tribe's territory to see if they could find more useful things. Now that they thought about it, their teacher had already been in the Xuanyuan Tribe for such a long time, and many places had already been searched; it would be hard to find anything useful anymore.

They were completely unaware that their teacher, Changle, had already fallen into a bed of comfort, researching and studying various Grasses every day together with Ayuduo. After all, the two of them had common hobbies and research directions, and they had the most common topics.

The only drawback was that Ayuduo was from the Jiuli, and the plants she came into contact with were mostly those that liked water and heat. She had rarely seen the plants in these places, so she knew very little about them. Changle felt a yearning for the interesting plants Ayuduo spoke of, but unfortunately, it was hard to see them.
