Chapter 494

The situation in the southwest was beyond Shi Xiong's expectation, but now he can't concentrate all his energy on the western expedition.

The relocation of Wangting is not only a major event for the tribe, but also a matter related to the future Empire, so the stone bear must be cautious. Another thing is the merger of tribes. Now it's coming to an end. Hundreds of small tribes have finally merged into 35 big tribes.

Each of these large tribes has a population of more than 2000 people, so it is obviously not appropriate to live in the Appalachian Mountains.

After all, this is a mountainous area, and the slightly larger Valley plains are rare, so it is impossible to support a large tribe.

Therefore, these tribes also need to move according to the area they selected before.

But fortunately, the surrounding area has now fallen into the hands of the Cherokee people. Even 80% of the people who have moved out do not have to worry about the security here.

The location of Wang Ting's relocation was the area where the logistics camp of the western expedition was located. After more than half a year of construction, there has been a rudiment of the town.

Since the long-term goal is to build a huge empire covering the entire North American continent and even Central America, the region where the royal court is located must be considered carefully. After all, in order to rule and manage, the royal court must occupy the center of the Empire as much as possible.

With the consideration of shipping, it is undoubtedly the best choice to build the new royal court on the West Bank of the Mihe river.

The shipping of the Mihe River ensured that the ships from the royal court could reach most of the areas controlled by the Empire. The wide river is also a natural barrier to ensure the safety of the royal court.

The wide and flat plain to the west of Mihe River can not only grow grain in a large area, but also raise all kinds of livestock on a large scale.

It is also because of these comprehensive considerations that Shi Xiong decided to move the new royal court to the area where the logistics camp of the Western expeditionary army is located. And the stone bear also plans to give here a new name - Shangjing!

As for monongahira after the relocation of Wangting, the stone bear intends to leave it to dashanqiu tribe.

Originally, the location of dashanqiu tribe was not far from monongahira, because dashanqiu tribe wanted to defend the Shawnee people in the north, so their conditions were relatively difficult.

However, when the royal court moved away, the huge manongahira was empty, which was enough for the big hill tribe to live here.

As for the other large tribes that are going to move out, except gaoshu tribe, four guardian tribes and five other large tribes will move to Beijing with Wangting, most of the other large tribes will move out of the mountain area.

Now that the royal court has moved to the banks of the river, there is no need to worry about the French.

In the past half a year, the officers and men of the fourth division who stayed in the two major military fortresses have completely crippled the French.

More than 30 French ships sank in the river near Fort Memphis and Fort okron alone. According to the information collected by the stone bear, this is almost all the ships that the French can find in the waters of the Mihe river.

Without a boat, the French are like tigers without teeth. They are no longer worried. After the fierce bear army has taken over all the large areas west of the Mihe River, it will free up its hands to wipe out the French in the north. Well, by the way, it will also completely conquer the tribes that support the French!

The tense and joyful autumn harvest began.

Tension, it's inevitable. Although this year is a good year with good weather, it is inevitable that there will be more rain after autumn. It would be terrible if such good corn were harvested and caught up with the continuous autumn rain.

Therefore, we should seize the time to harvest while the weather is fine.

As for joy, let alone happiness.

No matter who sees that heavy corn cob, his face will always be filled with happy smile involuntarily.

It's all grain! With so much food, we can have a comfortable winter again.

Even the stone bears rolled up their sleeves to harvest with the tribe.

At this time, there is no combine harvester. Harvesting corn is the most primitive method.

First of all, the heavy corn cobs were broken off one by one with manhole. Then a large number of half year old children were busy sending the broken corn cobs to the ground. Then there were adults spreading the broken corn cobs to dry.

When the corn cob is broken, it starts to use the polished straw to dig the corn stalk.

Kuaitou is also one of the farming tools stone bear carried over, and the efficiency is pretty good.

But it's really a skill to use it. If it's not accurate, you may be able to dig your own feet. When the clansmen used this device to dig corn stalks before, few people were injured because of this.

In fact, if the corn stalks were burned directly, it would not be impossible, but the land in Monongahela is rich enough, so there is no need to burn corn stalks to increase the fertility of the land. Another is that after the corn straw is broken, it is one of the good feeds for bison and war horse. No one is willing to burn the corn straw.

As for the dried corn cobs, they can be sent to the "threshing room" by the river for threshing, and then they can be collected into the granary.

Corn is the staple food of Indians, but corn cob threshing is a very troublesome thing.

In the past, people used to thresh corn cobs manually, which was not only tiring but also inefficient.

Later, Shi Xiong moved the old thresher from his hometown. After a little improvement, he changed the pedal thresher into a hydraulic thresher.

The huge waterwheel drives the thresher head in the thresher to rotate rapidly through the gear. The thresher just needs to put the corn cobs into the head, and the gear in the head can take off the corn kernels, leaving a complete corn bag.

These things are not difficult for the stone bear. He was born in a farm family when he was young. He knows these things like the back of his hand.

But for the Indians of this era, this thing is an artifact!

The speed of autumn harvest is very fast. In only five or six days, the whole corn field of Monongahela has been harvested. After drying and threshing, the corn was put into a compact bag made of brown grass, and then stacked on the cart.

The newly harvested corn, together with other materials, will be transported out of here by a steady stream of ox carts and sent to Shangjing.

At the end of the autumn harvest, Wang Ting's relocation work started at the same time

Stone bear once again came to the hillside of the hill, watching the winding ox cart convoy gradually disappear in the distant mountains under the escort of the soldiers of the fierce bear army, he knew that with the completion of the relocation of the royal court, the Cherokee people would usher in a new peak of development!
