I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

Mingyue and Hongfeng replied, "Yes!"

With two tribes gone, the Jiang tribe's strength was immediately weakened, but Jiang Ning remained unmoved and continued to preside over the sacrificial ceremony as usual.

After the sacrifice, Jiang Ning summoned the Stone Shaman, the Bull Shaman, and others, and gave them a task.

"All...all torn down...?" Shi Wu subconsciously reached up and picked at his ear, even wondering if he was too old to hear correctly.

Jiang Ning sat at the head of the table without looking up, shaking the planning map in her hand so loudly it rustled: "That's right, you all have maps on your seats too, everyone take a look."

Zhu Wu swallowed hard, equally incredulous: "Rebuild everything? That's too much... There are only four months left until winter, Jiang Wu, it's not that I'm making excuses, but with so much, I'm afraid we can't possibly finish..."

The Bull Witch also looked troubled, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "Although the Crocodile Tribe and the Cloud Tribe are gone, the Jiang Tribe now has twenty-four tribes and more than 30,000 people. This is no small matter. We'll need at least several thousand houses to house so many people..."

Fortunately, when the trading area was built, considering the large number of people from other tribes and the possibility of future expansion, a location far from the settlement was specifically chosen to avoid affecting the ordinary people and children of the tribe. Otherwise...

The Great Deer Shaman frowned, looking at the planning map in his hand, and asked, "The planting area has been almost harvested. Now we're moving the planting area outside and turning the original planting area into a residential area. That's not a big problem, but the new plantation is located in that dense forest outside the residential area? That won't be easy to clear..."

That dense forest was unwanted by any tribe because the trees were scattered and there was nothing of particular value inside, not even a hill, so it was impossible to dig a cave.

Previously, Jiang Ning had also left the cliff vine there.

However, such a place would be excellent for planting.

Because no one had visited the land for many years, the fallen and decaying branches and leaves accumulated layer upon layer on the land. After being nourished and settled over a long period of time, the soil became exceptionally fertile.

Moreover, this place is close to the residence and the terrain is relatively flat, but it's a bit troublesome to clean up.

Jiang Ning explained to them one by one: "The Jiang tribe will soon welcome a new tribe, and the current residence is definitely not enough. Over the years, the tribe's houses and grounds have been intentionally or unintentionally destroyed by the tribesmen and their war pets. I remember that in order to build the arena, we discovered a lot of red fluorite mines with better stone quality. Let's take this opportunity to replace them all."

Warriors are incredibly strong, and their battle pets are even stronger. Just their size alone can damage a lot of things as they move around.

Over the years, everyone has been patching things up wherever they break. Previous reconstructions were just repairs on the original foundation, leaving the place dilapidated and a real eyesore. It would be better to just tear it all down and rebuild it.

"As for manpower, we have almost enough food, and the surrounding beasts have been scared away by your actions. We don't need to hunt for now, so get to work. If we still need more people, we can find them in the trading area. I'm back, and the trading area should be bustling with activity soon."

The commotion caused by Jiang's previous food storage was too great. The ferocious beasts in the surrounding area aren't stupid either. If I can't beat them, can't I at least run away?

Many of the ferocious beasts in the territory have fled and probably won't be back anytime soon.

"As for the planting area, there isn't enough space right now..." Jiang Ning chuckled as he thought of the Green Mantis tribe, and said gently, "Don't rush the planting area issue. Let's go build the houses first. Make sure they're finished before winter."

Since Jiang Ning had said so, everyone had no choice but to obey. The others left one after another, but only Zhu Wu stayed behind.

"What do you want?" Jiang Ning asked, somewhat surprised.

The bamboo shaman hesitated, somewhat embarrassed, before asking, "Shaman, now that the house has been rebuilt, should the furniture inside be redone?"

After a moment's thought, Jiang Ning realized that if these things were taken into account, the workload would be too great, and the craftsmen of the Jiang tribe would probably be overwhelmed. So he said, "These things are not urgent. If the tribesmen need them, let them place their orders at the workshop once these things are almost finished."

Seeing that Jiang Ning had misunderstood, Zhu Wu quickly said, "That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask what materials these furniture pieces are made of."

"Let them do what they like." Jiang Ning frowned. Why should she have to worry about something like this?

The bamboo shaman chuckled and revealed the truth: "Our tribe's purple bamboo has grown very large now, and it sheds a lot of bamboo stalks every day. We give them to the Iron-Eating Beast tribe, but they can't eat them all, so we just throw them away. We can't bear to do that, after all, we've raised them with so much effort. Do you have any ideas...?"

Jiang Ning was very puzzled and asked, "So big? How big is it?"

Having been here for so long, she has seen many enormous creatures. This purple bamboo is currently only at the level of a barbarian bone plant. How much bigger can it get?

"Hehe...hehehe..." The bamboo witch awkwardly adjusted her sleeves.

……

Jiang Ning sat on Baiya's back, looking down at the vast, endless bamboo forest.

She had returned from the lower reaches of the Nu River, and after returning, she was in a hurry to deal with the affairs of the Tao tribe, so she didn't notice this place.

A gentle breeze swept through the bamboo forest, causing it to ripple with layers of green waves and rustle softly.

Jiang Ning's brows twitched involuntarily. How could she forget that bamboo, once it takes root, spreads rapidly, especially since this was a rare and exotic plant carefully nurtured by the bamboo tribe with various treasures.

After weathering the most difficult period, the purple bamboo is now thriving.

The bamboo shaman standing beside him, perched on the back of a pterosaur, secretly observed Jiang Ning's expression and said with some helplessness, "Look at this huge area, if this continues, the other tribes won't be happy..."

Each tribe in the Jiang tribe is allocated a piece of land around their settlement to house their war pets. Some tribesmen who do not want to live in stone houses also live here.

Now that there are so many tribes in the Jiang tribe, the place is already crowded. You alone occupy such a large area. How can others live?

Jiang Ning let Bai Ya fall down, and Zhu Wu followed sheepishly.

Apart from the lush, tall, and slender bamboos, it is almost impossible to find any other large plants in the bamboo forest.

This place was no fun, so Baiya flapped its wings and left.

Two chubby bamboo rats chased each other by, their round bodies darting nimbly across the ground. Upon seeing the two people, they were instantly terrified, quickly turning around and disappearing in a flash.
