The journey of the soul-piercing pawn to the God of Dharma
Chapter 503 The natives of the desert oasis
One month has passed, and it happens to be the time for the restructuring of Tuval. The peace phase is definitely a good opportunity for reform, and it is the first time to taste the sweetness of encouraging capital investment, so the whole country of Tuval is celebrating...
Another hidden front is the outbreak of plague in several small towns on the southern border. Plague was confirmed at the epidemic prevention station and a lockdown was announced on the same day. All people abide by health regulations in accordance with epidemic prevention regulations.
Military doctors intervened immediately, administered streptomycin in stock and Pioneer No. 2, and immediately brought the situation under control. Preventive drugs were distributed to the entire population and an isolation system was implemented.
The disease was under control within three days, and the enemy's population was expected to drop sharply. The conspiracy to infect the army did not stir up any waves at all, and soon died down.
This epidemic killed more than 300 villagers and created tens of thousands of patients. The outbreak was caught off guard. Once diagnosed, military doctors quickly controlled the situation.
The court knew it, but pretended not to know, and suppressed it as an ordinary plague. This debt must be settled, so Tuval's spread of the plague was recorded, and Megan was sentenced to death, and the settlement would be settled later.
Thalia became mature and calm because of White's political literacy through words and deeds. In order to win the final victory, she also learned to tolerate it. She would have sent out troops to punish the perpetrators before.
The words are divided into two parts. White experienced various extreme climates in the desert to train his willpower. He was only allocated very little water and food every day, and he lost a lot of weight as a result.
Step by step, I have now reduced my water consumption to about 50 grams a day, which is the ultimate training...
At this time, we have arrived at an oasis in the desert. According to Meng Ke's survey, the oasis is less than thirty kilometers away, and almost a larger village is larger than it.
White decided to go and have a look. It was impossible for ordinary people to come here. Because you have to go through the harsh climate of sandstorms, tornadoes are a common phenomenon here.
This place is surrounded by mountains, and the vegetation on the mountains has long been bare. Such a special landform gave rise to that lucky oasis.
One man and one horse crossed the mountains last night and walked more than ten kilometers before reaching the edge of the oasis.
Entering the large woods outside, I found that villagers were burying their relatives according to ancient customs. White knew at first sight that they were using people as fertilizer to ensure that the forest would not be flooded by sandstorms.
Over time, the forest may have expanded, the funeral attendees may have broken hair and tattoos, they may be completely different from the residents of Haudsen, and their language may be very ancient.
"That's right, the administrative costs of such places are too high, and the empire is too lazy to take care of them. They are left to fend for themselves. A small oasis survives in the special geographical environment, making these people's customs extremely ancient."
Since the funeral couldn't stop, they all bowed their heads and prayed. Their people were surprised to find White. There had been no strangers here for thousands of years, and the people here couldn't get out. The strangers were a little curious when they came.
White waited patiently for them to finish the funeral, offering his condolences out of politeness and doing as the Romans do.
After it was over, a young man came up to look at White and made a lot of noises...
You can roughly understand the meaning through system translation, and the other party also understands you during the conversation, but the language is a little stiff and does not affect communication.
As a result, people here agreed that White could rest in the village and follow them into the village. White had just gone through the hunger and thirst training. At this time, White was very haggard and needed to adjust his breathing for a few days to regain his condition.
The villages are all made of adobe houses, with almost no wooden furniture. Most of the tools on hand are made of stone, which is very primitive.
The funeral had just been held, and people were back to laughing and joking. People were simple-minded and made a living by growing fruits and raising cattle and sheep. The population was only more than a thousand.
An oasis isolated from the world, the population seems to have reached its extreme. It is difficult to feed more people. Especially the primitive slash-and-burn farming method has limited productivity. A small disease may take away a life. In addition to the hardship of life, we are used to seeing old age, sickness and death, so it is quite difficult. To be open-minded.
White was led to a slightly larger earthen house, and an indigenous girl presented him with a bowl of turbid water. He really couldn't drink it. A pottery bowl of turbid water may have been the most precious thing for the natives, and he might not even be willing to drink it.
White declined with a smile: "I'm not thirsty. It's not appropriate for me to drink such a precious thing!". The person next to him swallowed his saliva, which seemed to indicate this.
White saw that the vegetation in the village was preserved to the greatest extent and did not dare to damage it easily. He knew that although the natives lived a difficult life, they had their own way of survival and it was most likely difficult to obtain water.
The idea asked Meng Ke to look through the earth to find underground water. Now that he is here, he should first solve the drinking water problem and increase his favorability.
It is highly unlikely that the ancient population would have evolved water well technology. China has been digging wells since ancient times and has provided more entrances. It is a unique existence on earth.
When Chinese peacekeeping troops entered Africa, it is conceivable that human beings have entered modern civilization for hundreds of years. The locals can only survive by collecting rainwater and walking ten kilometers to get turbid water, even if they know they will get malaria.
So the peacekeeping force mobilized equipment to dig wells for the indigenous people to easily solve the drinking water problem. The first well in mankind was opened by the Suiren clan in China 10,000 years ago, marking the beginning of civilization.
Therefore, ancient Chinese civilization did not necessarily occur next to large rivers. People could live in wells and easily form tribal civilizations. Looking at the world, the Chinese are unique, even different, and definitely an anomaly.
White found water for them. It was the bloodline memory in the DNA. The shape of the vegetation showed that there was water here.
Mengke has completed the surveying and mapping, and it is suspected that the groundwater resources are rich, and water can be produced by digging any well.
So don’t rush to explore the treasures of the ancient Clark Empire and help these poor humans! In the future, the Haodson Empire will no longer exist. These people will be their own people, and it is their responsibility to educate them to obey the king.
Wherever there are people, there will be great prosperity. These people are the people who protect the land. The lack of water has prevented them from reproducing the population. If the ban on digging wells is broken, the people in this place can flourish.
White negotiated with their people, and although his grammar was stilted, they heard that they were interested, and soon men, women, and children arrived.
White first taught them how to make sand bricks for later use. He mixed clay with soil, plant ash, and animal fat in proportion, and then built an earthen kiln to bake the bricks.
The hardness of this thing is not useful and cannot be used to build houses, but building a well is not a problem, and it can last for thousands of years in water. The sand brick has its own water filtering effect, and it is a super material for building a well.
White took the time to mark where there was water and open a well as soon as the first batch of bricks were fired.
Meng Ke went back and forth to explore and find treasures. In fact, this area was the capital of the ancient Clark Empire. It was chosen because it was surrounded by mountains and was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
At that time, the entire desert was a primitive jungle, lush and green, and the plains were fertile and wild for thousands of miles, which was why it was able to nurture national civilization. There is no need to worry about food and drink, and the climate is pleasant. Only in this situation can people have time to think about things, and can civilization and creativity be born.
In fact, the comparison with the ancient map is 80% consistent, and the location can basically be determined.
White taught people to dig wells, it was just a benevolence, and his coming here was also an inspiration of wealth. Just like the Chinese people are keen to find the ancient city of Loulan.
