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

Chapter 450 Firestone Road

Those who were once arrogant and troublesome seemed to have disappeared overnight, becoming as docile as rats, and no one dared to cause trouble anymore. This is the importance of strength!

"If the witch knew you had come in person, she would be very happy. Come, follow me inside, the witch is waiting!"

Qi Wu nodded and smiled, "I haven't seen Jiang Wu for a long time either..."

The two walked side by side, with their tribesmen following closely behind.

Those precious animal bones, rare herbs, and treasures that only appear in the deep sea are like stones that can be found everywhere here. They are being transported to Jiangbu in boxes and boxes, in quantities that are astonishing.

Fish Tribe!

People from various tribes who were pretending to be busy on the dock but were actually secretly watching what was happening all stopped what they were doing and stared at the scene in astonishment. Whispers rose and fell, their eyes filled with both surprise and awe.

I had long heard that the Fish Tribe and the Jiang Tribe had a close relationship, and now I actually saw it with my own eyes.

"So this is what the Fish Tribe is like! They actually came in person!" A young warrior said to his companion while unloading the goods, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“That’s right, look at those gifts. Just those animal bones and herbs are enough for our tribe to become a medium-sized tribe!” His companion replied in a low voice, his tone filled with envy and amazement.

Another older warrior stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "The Fish Tribe is being so generous; it seems their strength is far greater than we imagined."

"That's right, look at those treasures! The Fish Tribe is really good to the Jiang Tribe! The rumors are indeed true." A warrior sighed softly, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

In the crowd, a young warrior tugged at a tribesman's sleeve and whispered, "The Fish Tribe and the Jiang Tribe are both in the east. Aren't the Fish Tribe afraid that the Jiang Tribe will seize their territory in the future?"

Upon hearing the young warrior's question, the tribesman paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and replied with a meaningful smile, "What do you know? Although the Fish Tribe controls the east, their true territory lies deep in the sea. They rarely come ashore. You're lucky to have seen them this time. Many caravans never even see the Fish Tribe people in their entire lives. The Fish Tribe's territory won't conflict with the Jiang Tribe's. Besides, who knows where the Jiang Tribe will be in the future? Maybe... hehe..."

The young soldier nodded thoughtfully, then looked puzzled by the vague words that followed: "If Commander Jiang isn't here, where else could he have gone?"

The tribesman smiled but refused to say anything more. Instead, he said, "When we get back, I will definitely suggest to the chief that we get on good terms with the Jiang tribe as soon as possible. We can't let the future of our tribe be delayed like this."

The young warrior nodded as if he understood, but his eyes remained fixed on the fish tribe's group. Like most people on the dock, he was thinking about how to boast to his tribe about everything he had seen that day when he got back.

Qi Wu entered the settlement, and the scene before him was quite different from before. He was somewhat surprised: "I remember there used to be a river here, how come..."

After the reconstruction of Jiangbu, the inner and outer rings were no longer used as clear boundaries. Instead, a layout was adopted in which the rock lake was the center, and the layout extended radially in all directions.

Huazhi led Qiwu along a wide river. On either side of the river were two flat roads, and next to the roads were neatly arranged stone houses of various styles.

This road is so seamlessly integrated that no one can see any signs of splicing.

Along the way, ferocious beasts pulled the carts at breakneck speed, their wheels grinding against the road surface with a low rumble, yet the road surface remained perfectly still, without even a crack.

Qi Wu had Hua Zhi lead him to the roadside, then looked down and examined him closely, his heart filled with amazement.

"How... was this road made?"

Qi Wu couldn't help but ask, his fingers lightly touching the ground, feeling a cold and hard texture.

Hongyue smiled, a hint of pride in her eyes: "This is called Huoshi Road. Huoshi Road is the pride of our Jiang tribe. This reconstruction alone took a lot of our effort to build these roads."

"Don't underestimate it. There are many steps involved. First, we need to lay a foundation, then use the quarry's leftover stones, add some sand, fix it with a special adhesive, and finally fire it to make it look like it does now."

"This method was devised by the shamans and craftsmen after a lot of effort, and it is also very troublesome to build. Some outsiders saw it and offered high prices to have us build such a firestone road, but we did not agree to it because it is too much trouble."

Ordinary roads are no good if they can withstand the iron hooves of ferocious beasts. Jiang Ning really didn't want to step into muddy water on rainy days, so he spent a lot of effort to develop this improved cement road.

Qi Wu listened intently and couldn't help but exclaim, "So it was made by Jiang Wu. No wonder it looks so smooth, without even a single gap."

Hongyue nodded and continued, "This kind of road is not only sturdy and durable, but it can also prevent rainwater erosion. You see, the riverbanks on both sides of the river were also built in the same way, so they won't be washed away even if it rains heavily."

Following the red moon's guidance, Qi Wu saw that the riverbanks on both sides of the river were built in the same way as the roads. The edges of the riverbanks were also specially raised to form a low retaining wall, which could prevent the river from overflowing and guide the water flow smoothly during the rainy season.

Qi Wu couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly remarkable! They've considered even these details so thoroughly."

Hongyue smiled, her tone tinged with emotion: "Yes, since the reconstruction, everyone in the Jiang tribe has done their best to make this place even better, which is why you see everything you see today."

Seeing his reaction, Qi Wu joked, "Then I'll stay a few more days this time to see what new things you've come up with."

Hongyue used to be somewhat reserved with Qiwu, after all, the two were worlds apart in terms of both strength and status.

However, as Jiang's strength increased, he became more at ease in front of Qi Wu and replied, "Very well, our shaman has specially prepared a stone house for you, just waiting for you to come."

Qi Wu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his expression: "Oh? You even prepared a stone house especially for me?"

“You are a distinguished guest of our Jiang tribe, so we cannot neglect you. That stone house is in the best location in the post station. You can see the gate of the trading area just by opening the window, and it is also close to the arena. The shaman said that since you like to watch the excitement, this house will be reserved for you from now on, so you can stay whenever you come.”
