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

"stop."

Big Head looked dejected and slunk away like a defeated rooster.

Jiang Ning, with a stern face, warned in a deep voice, "Even your father wouldn't dare to use my name to swindle and deceive people. If you cause any trouble and I catch you, you know what the consequences will be."

Big Head trembled, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He repeatedly assured her, "Please rest assured, Master, Big Head will never let you down!"

Jiang Ning then let him leave: "Go."

Some things can't be discovered by simply sitting on the island in the middle of the lake. Recently, Jiang Ning has been taking a stroll around since she has nothing to do, to see if there is anything that can be improved.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her with respect, she felt a little bored, waved her hand to dismiss them, and then disappeared into a shop. Before long, she changed her clothes again.

Lancao glanced back at the crowd and saw that Akui and Haixia had stopped looking at the pearls of the clam tribe and were hurriedly walking in another direction.

The coral beads on A-Kui's head bounced as she walked, making a crisp, melodious sound, before she gradually disappeared into the crowd.

"gone."

When Lancao came to her senses, Jiang Ning had already come out and was leading Lancao forward.

Today, the Jiang tribe is bordered by Yanhu Lake at the front, with the Xuanhe River and Yanhe River on its left and right sides respectively. These two rivers act like two sturdy barriers, tightly embracing the Jiang tribe's settlement.

They not only provide ample water for their habitat, but also form a natural defense, protecting the people on this land.

The residential area is divided into two parts by Lianhu Lake; one side is the original planting area, and the other side is the residential area.

In order to expand their settlement, the Jiang people are now busy filling in the Xuan River and the Lotus Lake.

Jiang Ning still felt the place wasn't big enough. After seeing the Tao tribe's settlement, she finally had a clear understanding of the scale of a large tribe.

This time, she wanted to build a settlement large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and for a large tribe to live and develop in the long term. To this end, she even spared no effort to move several mountains.

Although there is no large machinery here, fortunately the ferocious beasts are by no means weak.

These ferocious beasts, with their immense strength, can easily drag boulders and dig through the soil. The moved rocks will be transported to the banks of the Angry River.

At the end of the settlement, an arena, a school, a post station, and a trading area lined up in a row. Jiang Ning planned to repair the roads leading to the settlement.

In addition, she plans to build a large dock on the banks of the Nu River, which would make good use of these rocks.

The post stations will also be built all the way to the dock, where rows of warehouses will be built.

Large caravans that arrive at the trading area with a large amount of goods may find it difficult to sell their goods in a short time. They can rent these warehouses according to their needs, and staying at the post stations next to the warehouses makes it convenient for them to guard their goods.

The new lotus lake will be located next to the new planting area. Several waterways will be dug in the residential area. In addition to meeting the daily water needs of the Jiang tribe, they will also be used to provide habitats and places for many aquatic war pets to roam.

At that time, Lianhu Lake will only serve the purpose of aquaculture, and the new Xuanhe and Yanhe rivers will still surround the settlement. In the event of an attack, they will be the first battlefield.

The two walked to the Nu River and saw the Jiang people working hard. Their figures shuttled back and forth on the riverbank, like a hardworking ant colony, striving for their common home.

The ferocious beasts relentlessly pulled the rocks, leaving footprints on the ground, and with heavy steps, dumped huge boulders onto the riverbank.

On the riverbank, the Jiang people were sweating profusely as they hammered boulders and dug sand to level the ground.

Several strong vines extended from the side, binding the divided stones one by one, and placing them in the appropriate positions according to the craftsmen's instructions.

The air was filled with the unique smell of soil mixed with river water, and the dull thud of rocks being struck could be heard as the Nu River roared with its mighty force.

It surged forward like a ferocious beast, raising towering waves and splashing water everywhere.

The deafening roar, like ten thousand horses galloping, became the most awe-inspiring background sound in this world.

On this vibrant and dynamic land, the future of the Jiang people, like the surging, unstoppable Nu River, is forging ahead with unstoppable momentum.

"Everyone, hurry up! So many people are waiting!"

Jiang Ning looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people carrying food coming over. In order to speed up the process, these people were now eating directly by the river.

The ferocious beasts pulled carts full of food, and the Jiang tribesmen stood by and distributed it to everyone. Even the beasts got a share. Some of the beasts finished their portions in a few bites and still felt it wasn't enough, so they plunged into the raging river to hunt for food.

The Jiang people took the food and sat or squatted, gathering in small groups to eat and chat with their fellow tribesmen. Some people walked among them, offering them brown sugar water with added ingredients to replenish their energy.

Qiu followed her mother to distribute food to everyone. The warriors of the Green Mantis tribe all obeyed the command of the Jiang tribe and were assigned to different places to work. The remaining people were also busy building houses to keep warm before winter arrived. These trivial tasks were left to the slaves.

Transporting food was a rare and desirable job, and many slaves would take the opportunity to steal food, since it was not ordinary food but contained a lot of energy, which was a deadly temptation for slaves who were often hungry.

The mother and daughter were no exception, but Rong had a little more knowledge than the other slaves, which allowed her to survive to this day.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Rong secretly instructed her daughter, "It's not that I don't want you to eat, but if you eat too much at once, your body can't handle it, and it'll be easy for others to find out. Once they find out, not only will you get beaten, but you'll also lose this rare opportunity."

“Mother, I know.” Qiu’s eyes sparkled, and she nodded emphatically. Since coming to Jiang’s tribe, it was as if she had entered a new world, with new things to see and hear every day.

These foods not only filled her stomach but also gradually improved her originally weak body. After eating them once, she found that she had much more energy.

She must live on.

"That's right. As long as we can keep doing this job, we can eat it every day. We need to think long-term."

Many slaves have been caught stealing food and beaten half to death, but no one will stand up for them.

Making mistakes is punishable, and besides, they were just lowly slaves, so who would care about their lives?
