I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

After speaking to them, Su Bai returned to his wooden house and began planning for what needed to be done.

[Having reclaimed our Ancestral Land, the most important thing now is to prepare for the upcoming rainy season. There should not be much time left before the rainy season. Based on the previous timing given, there are only about twenty days left until the rainy season arrives.]

[There are a lot of things we need to do before the rainy season hits. We need to build houses, lay drainage systems, and others…]

Su Bai twirled the pencil in his hand and began pondering, using Wolf Tail Grass Paper. He had put some things in his one cubic metre Space Skill. He thought such items might come in handy when they reached the Black Snake Tribe and reclaimed their Ancestral Land.

“Shaman, what should we do with those people?” Yan Hua suddenly asked.

During Su Bai’s speech in the morning, the cow horned girl had been listening attentively beside him. However, there were many things she could not understand. Like, why should they keep those from the Black Snake Tribe? Why not just drive them away?

“They will all be excellent labourers in the future, so we need to keep them.” Su Bai said with a small smile.

In the future, these people would definitely be useful to them. After all, infrastructure needed plenty of manpower!

Such a massive group would be the best personnel for future infrastructure projects. The more people they had, the faster houses could be built. Simple Teepees and wooden houses could no longer satisfy Su Bai’s grand plans. Only cement houses could satisfy him. Besides sheltering from the wind and the Sun, they could also resist Ferocious Beasts, making them the best living quarters.

Yan Hua scratched her head in confusion and worriedly said, “Shaman, I’m afraid they might do something bad.”

This was what the cow horned girl was concerned about. After all, they were never part of the Flame Dragon Tribe, but were originally from the Black Snake Tribe.

Moreover, the Black Snake Tribe was a notorious Tribe. She did not believe the people in it could be decent people.

“Don’t worry about that. They will all live on the outskirts of the Tribe. There will be many things for them to do, so they won’t have time to do anything bad.” Su Bai explained.

They no longer had a Shaman or a Chieftain, and all their Totem Warriors were dead. The Warrior Trainees were also all under surveillance. These ordinary people would not be able to do anything significant. All they wanted was to have a Shaman’s leadership and meat to eat every day.

The Black Snake Tribe was a Tribe that robbed other Tribes and treated the people they occupied as their own. They had not created any Tribal faith or anything like that. They only cared about making the Tribe larger, without properly cultivating the hearts of their people.

What Su Bai wanted was to cultivate this aspect. Only by winning the people’s hearts would it be easier to do certain things.

Yan Hua nodded thoughtfully and changed the subject, “Xiao Yu will be very happy when she hears we’ve won.”

“Yes, we’ve avenged her Father and Mother. She will definitely be very happy.” Su Bai smiled.

“And we can see Sha Lan again after so long. I’m so happy.” Yan Hua said with an excited voice, red eyes narrowed into slits.

“What kind of person is Sha Lan?” Su Bai asked. He had always heard the fox eared girl mention this person and was curious as to who she was.

“Sha Lan is a very beautiful girl. She’s very attentive…” Once Yan Hua started talking about her, she could not stop, her whole being becoming jovial.

Su Bai quietly watched her, not interrupting. This cow horned girl looked very cute like this.

After Yan Hua finished talking about Sha Lan, she left the wooden house. She had other things to do, and her Father came in.

“Shaman, how should we arrange those people?” Yan Jiao asked. As the Tribe’s Chieftain, he had to seriously consider the Tribe’s people.

To those of the Flame Dragon Tribe, they naturally carried deep hatred for those of the Black Snake Tribe. He naturally wanted to know the Shaman’s reasons for doing this.

“Have them carry some stones over first. The more, the better. Pile all the stones in the middle of the Tribe.” Su Bai said after serious thought, then continued, “As for what to do next, I’ll tell you tomorrow. I need to think it over carefully tonight.”

What he needed to think about was cement production. It was not possible to come up with everything at once in a short period of time.

Although he had read relevant books, his memory was not perfect, so he needed to slowly recall such details. For now, he could only have them carry the stones needed for building houses. After all, stones were very important for the construction.

He also needed to draw some house designs, including their foundations, house structures, and so on.

Drawing these would not be easy. After all, it was for people of a Primitive Tribe to see, so it had to be drawn very carefully, with each step meticulously broken down.

“Carry stones? Shaman, what are those stones for? Letting them stay might endanger our people.” Yan Jiao finally said what he really wanted to say.

Su Bai certainly knew the other would ask this question and had already prepared an answer. “Those that have survived are not unforgivable criminals…”

He spoke to Yan Jiao for a full twenty minutes, analysing the pros and cons clearly, to give him a more intuitive understanding.

After listening, Yan Jiao was silent for a while, then said, “I understand, Shaman.”

He thought about it from the perspective of a Chieftain, someone managing the entire Tribe. He knew that this decision had more benefits than drawbacks. He also realised those people really could not cause much trouble to them. As long as they had meat to eat, they would naturally be obedient.

After all, they were all ordinary people living on the outskirts of the Tribe. They would not be able to make big waves here. What Yan Jiao needed to do was to watch over them in the early stages.

“Good that you understand. My decisions will never harm the interests of the Tribe.” Su Bai said.

“Shaman, what about the original slaves? Some are from our Tribe, and we’ve already let them come back. What about the slaves from the other Tribes?” Yan Jiao was not sure how to arrange them.

Su Bai turned his black eyes and said, “Those originally from our Tribe can return to their previous jobs. As for those from the other Tribes, let them remain as slaves.”

It was initially said that they would be accepted into the Tribe. Not that their status as slaves would be immediately lifted. Still, as long as they were willing to work and obey, they would still have meat to eat every day, and truly have a chance at freedom.

“Alright, then I’ll arrange for some people to follow you around, and arrange a few others to go manage them.” Yan Jiao nodded.

“En, don’t skimp on the meat and meals promised to them.” Su Bai said softly.

“For the next few days, we need to have Cang Shi arrange his men to go out and Hunt. We need to maintain the Tribe’s normal operations.” Yan Jiao said in a deep voice.

Su Bai nodded, waving his hand to indicate to the others to leave. He still needed to think about some things.
