Chapter 473: Autumn harvest and inspection

While the people were making a pilgrimage, Shi Xiong shifted his focus to the autumn harvest.

The cold air from the north to the south drove away the heat and humidity, and the weather began to cool down day by day.

Autumn is here, and the entire farmland of Monongahela is full of golden yellow.

The same scenery abounds not only in Monongahela, but around other tribes of the Cherokee tribe.

Thanks to the vigorous promotion of new-style farming tools and the tremendous assistance of tamed bison in agriculture, the entire Cherokee nationality’s summer harvest has achieved a bumper harvest this year. Almost all the granaries of the Cherokee tribes are full.

Except for the members of the Gaoshu tribe, who has ever seen such a scene in the entire tribe?

This is unfinished food!

The bumper harvest of summer grains has also stimulated the promotion of new farming tools and tamed bison. The planting area of ​​autumn grains at the beginning was more than one-third more than that of summer grains!

The weather this summer is generally quite good, so the growth of the autumn grain is excellent. Seeing that the harvesting season is approaching, the whole tribe will have another big harvest!

For Shi Xiong, the concept of the Air Force and the training of the Grim Bear Army are not as important as the autumn harvest.

Food is the foundation of everything!

If the Grim Bear Army wants a smooth westward march, the harvest of autumn grain this year will play an irreplaceable role. Only when the tribe’s granary is full, can the Grim Bear Army unscrupulously launch a westward march and lay a larger area of ​​land for the tribe.

Shi Xiong called the leader of the White City Alliance and gave him an order that he must send enough manpower to the various tribes of the tribe to supervise the autumn harvest. And not only the Cherokee tribe, but also the Cree and Powatan tribes will also send people to station.

The White City Alliance is responsible for peace matters. To put it bluntly, it is responsible for the internal affairs of the entire tribe.

According to the classification of later generations, the Red City Alliance, which is mainly responsible for foreign wars, is equivalent to the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the government, and the White City Alliance, which is responsible for internal peace, is equivalent to other government departments.

Of course, the chief Shixiong is the supreme head of state.

The Cherokee tribe was driven out of the Great Lakes area by the Iroquois and Delawares. This made the tribe leaders at that time realize that if a tribe wants to prosper for a long time, it must be united internally and externally. .

After all, walking has to rely on two legs. Without any one leg, let alone walking, it is a problem to stand firm.

It was under this kind of thinking that the Red City Alliance and the White City Alliance were born, and in the following three hundred years, they played an important role in the development and growth of the Cherokee tribe.

Now that the autumn harvest is just around the corner, it's time for the White City Alliance to play a role again.

A large number of people set off from the Baicheng Alliance station, spreading from north to south.

In fact, even if Shixiong didn't pay much attention to the autumn harvest, all members of the tribe would spontaneously attach importance to this autumn harvest. And not only the Cherokee, but even the Cree and the Poitans also attach great importance to this autumn harvest.

The big harvest of summer grains gave them a taste of no longer being hungry. How could they not pay attention to harvesting a bigger autumn harvest?

Taking advantage of this gap, Shi Xiong also took a small team of guards back to the Gaoshu tribe. This is the first time he has returned to the Gaoshu tribe in the six months since becoming the chief.

He just went back to take a look. Now the entire Gaoshu tribe is fully on track. Even without the helm of the stone bear personally at the helm, the Gaoshu tribe can still develop very quickly.

Only after Shi Xiong became the chief of the tribe, the work focus of the Gaoshu tribe began to change from agriculture to industry. Now the people of the Gaoshu tribe are no longer dominated by agriculture, but have fully transformed into industrialization.

The Daqingshan Industrial Base built by Shixiong in the previous few years is now beginning to take shape. Just the dense watermills on the river bank are enough to prove the industrial strength here.

Before the large-scale promotion of steam engines, water power was the best source of power available to mankind.

Even if by next year, with the complete development of the Western Expedition, the royal court of the tribe will move to the area along the Mihe River, but Shixiong does not intend to abandon the Daqingshan Industrial Base. The terrain here is very good, deep in the mountains between the Blue Ridge and the Cumberland Heights, it has unique conditions in terms of defense.

Moreover, the mineral resources near Daqingshan are relatively abundant. At least at this time, they can still support the production of the weapons and equipment of the Grizzlies and new farm tools.

Now Daqingshan Industrial Base has formed a series of industries such as coking, steelmaking, cement, glass, papermaking, cigarettes, farm tool building, and munitions production. Although it is still very backward, although the scale is not very large, the embryonic form of each industry has been formed. formed.

Relying on this industrial base, the munitions produced can barely be used by the Grim Bear Army after the expansion. If the Grim Bear Army continues to expand, then the output of the Daqingshan Industrial Base will not be enough, but at that time, a larger new munitions production base will inevitably be built near the Wangting. By then, the Daqingshan Industrial Base will be built. It will completely get rid of the task of producing arms and shift its focus to civilian use.

However, the cigarettes produced in the Daqingshan Industrial Base are currently the most sought-after items in North America and even Europe.

Before the Fernando family wanted to obtain the cigarette production technology, Shixiong did not agree, but only allowed the Fernando family to become a first-level agent.

Just kidding, Shi Xiong's mind is not in the water, how can it be possible to sell the most profitable things to others at this time?

Even in later generations ~lightnovelpub.net~, the profit of the tobacco industry is unmatched by any legal industry. Not to mention that in this era, the "New World" brand cigarettes produced by the Gaoshu tribe are the only existence of scorpions, and the profits are even more amazing.

Just cigarettes can exchange a large number of useful materials from Europe.

As for the headquarters of the Gaoshu tribe, it has now completely become the center of winemaking, salt production, oil extraction, and tobacco leaf frying. In Shixiong's plan, relying on the Gaoshu tribe and the Daqingshan Industrial Base, in the next ten years or even longer, it will become an important manufacturing base and civilian product production base for the tribe.

Of course, the stone bear who returned to the Gaoshu tribe after a lapse of six months has become the chief of the entire tribe gorgeously, and he has also been welcomed by everyone in the Gaoshu tribe. This tribe was once a tribe where the great Kabulu worshipped, and as a result, a tribe chief went out accidentally!

All the tribesmen are proud of you.

The stone bear stayed in the Gaoshu tribe for half a month before returning to Monongahela
