Training is a very boring thing, but it is this kind of boring that can play a very good role in tempering.

　　 Training, especially military training, is actually a process of constant torture.

Just like ironing, if a piece of ordinary pig iron wants to become a good steel with both hardness and toughness, it must be beaten continuously. Through constant beating, the impurities in the pig iron are removed, and finally a good piece can be obtained. Hundreds of steelmaking.

　　 Military training is the same.

An ordinary person is like a piece of pig iron with a very ordinary texture, but through repeated training such as military training, some bad habits that ordinary people originally possessed are eliminated, so that they can re-train a better habit, and finally they can Grow into a qualified soldier.

The thousand warriors of the Crooked Ear Tribe have started uninterrupted training since they came to the High Tree Tribe at the end of the Hunter's Month (October). Together with the 400 musketeers of the Gaoshu tribe, they have to train for the Worm Moon (March) of the coming year before they officially set off.

　　 During this period, about five months of intensive military training will take place.

　　 Shixiong also spent his first anniversary in this era during this period.

　　 Of course, during these five months, the entire Gaoshu tribe is also like a machine full of power, running at high speed.

The matter of accepting the small tribes originally separated from the Gaoshu tribe has completely ended. The population of the entire Gaoshu tribe eventually exceeded 2,000 in one fell swoop, becoming the second largest tribe in the entire Tennessee population after the Crooked Ears Tribe. .

　　 But don’t think that the Gaoshu tribe is not as large as the Crooked Ear Tribe, but in terms of overall strength, the Gaoshu Tribe can shake the Crooked Ear Tribe as far as the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean...

Thanks to the food production issues that Shixiong has been paying attention to, the Gaoshu tribe has obtained a huge harvest of food this year, whether it is wheat, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, or soybeans, cotton, or castor. These cash crops, thanks to the hard work of hundreds of women from the Gaoshu tribe, have achieved huge harvests.

　　 Even if the Crooked Ear Tribe came over with a thousand warriors, and brought back other small tribes, the food was enough for these people to eat for another year.

　　 There is grain in his hand, so I don't panic.

　　 Now the Gaoshu tribe has embodied this sentence vividly.

　　Because I can fill my stomach, other work progresses very well.

　　Salt-making Needless to say, during the military training, a major from Jamestown once again brought a huge convoy to the Gaoshu tribe. This time the British brought very few kinds of things. Except for some things that Shixiong called for, the others were all war horses.

　　 The refined salt that flowed out from the Gaoshu tribe has now become a scarce material looted by the thirteen colonies in North America and even the entire United Kingdom. Such exquisite table salt, salt with no scent, is a good thing for the British aristocracy to compete for.

　　 For those nobles who have become popular in comparisons, if there are not a few bottles of "fine salt" produced in the New World on their table, then you will be looked down upon by people in the circle.

　　 Even as the current British King George III, he is full of praise for this refined salt produced in the New World. And now the table salt used on George III's table is all this refined salt that came across the ocean. The salt used in the British palace has long been no longer used.

　　Even the king likes this kind of refined salt, and it is effective. Therefore, the British aristocracy and the rich now feel that they have the face of having this refined salt.

　　 It is even said that this refined salt has passed through the English Channel and entered the Old World, appearing on the tables of great nobles in countries such as France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Germany...

Anyway, this refined salt is now one of the most sought-after items in the entire Old World and the 13 colonies of the New World, and the price has risen crazy from the original price of six pence a pound to one shilling ten pence a pound, and the price is in just a short time. In less than a year, it has risen wildly by nearly four times!

When Major Hank came last time, he also brought news that the price of this refined salt rose wildly. Shixiong decisively doubled the shipping price, but even so, the wildly rising price still allowed Colonel Jones, who controls the sales chain, has gained greater benefits.

　　 So now Colonel Jones attaches great importance to this Indian tribe at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains. If it were not for traffic restrictions, the highest military officer of Jamestown would have liked to come and pull salt once a month.

　　Of course, it was precisely because the refined salt was so popular that Colonel Jones finally had no choice but to pinch his nose to the Stone Bear’s condition that he would exchange the refined salt with the war horse.

Compared with the native Indians who lacked horses, millions of British colonists living in the thirteen colonies in North America have completely taken root in the New World. Most of these colonists are poor farmers from the United Kingdom, and they have gained a lot of money in the New World. The land can be freely cultivated for various crops including tobacco leaves, and large livestock such as cattle and horses can also be raised. So for the New World Thirteen Colonies, there is no shortage of cows or horses.

This time the major named Adria Fogg once again brought a full 80 war horses to the stone bear-this is after the stone bear increased the price of refined salt, there will be so many horses, and also use the caravan. Pull a lot of refined salt back to Jamestown.

　　 Anyway, this is a good deal. War horses are a very precious resource for North American Indians, but they are nothing to the colonists of the New World ~lightnovelpub.net~ can be sold for horses worth hundreds of pounds. Two or three thousand pounds of refined salt, this is definitely something Colonel Jones would like to see.

　　 The exquisite salt produced by the tribe can greatly enhance the strength of the entire tribe, but at the same time, other tasks of the tribe have not been put down.

　　 has four inland river armed transport ships seized from the French, and the saltpeter from the Xiaohe tribe can be continuously transported to the Gaoshu tribe. Coupled with the sulfur from the original Daqingshan tribe, at least the black gunpowder from the Gaoshu tribe is absolutely indispensable.

　　 The steelmaking has never been interrupted. Hard bones, the child is still young, but he is now one of the two highest leaders in steelmaking work in the entire Gaoshu tribe. Well, the other person in charge is Musha, the second son of Old Wood.

　　 Now the wood planer has completely thrown away the family-renowned carpenter craftsmanship and plunged into steelmaking. Although his old father Lao Mu is very dissatisfied with his behavior, La Mu can't help it. After all, his second son is in the same position as his father. They are all serious "projects". Department Manager" level.

　　 And compared to the old wood with a group of carpenters busy building various wooden utensils every day, the steel aspect of the wood planer is undoubtedly more important.

　　 Steel can be said to be the most important and basic thing in addition to food for the entire Gaoshu tribe. This is now the whole Gaoshu tribe’s people have very much agreed.

　　 As long as there is a steady stream of steel, everything will become better and better...
