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

Jiang Ning turned her gaze back to Hong Yue and said, "This great antler deer looks very docile. If only we could use it to till the land for our tribe!"

He secretly chatted with the system in his mind: "Forming a caravan is also a good idea! They have good stamina and run fast. They can take the deer to trade between different tribes. That way, we can become middlemen and earn some of the price difference."

The system's voice echoed in Jiang Ning's mind: "Indeed, the strength and stamina of the giant deer make them an excellent choice for long-distance transport. Their immense strength allows them to easily carry heavy loads. The giant deer's overly docile nature is an advantage, as it makes them easy to tame and control. However, it is also a potential disadvantage. If the caravan is attacked, the giant deer may not be able to mount a fierce and effective counterattack like other ferocious beasts. Therefore, we must prioritize the safety of the caravan before forming a fleet."

Jiang Ning agreed: "You're absolutely right. The giant deer isn't strong enough in attack, and our tribe's swans are good at both offense and defense. It's a perfect combination. In winter, we can even use sleds to pull them, carrying both cargo and people. Who knows, we might even be able to develop a recreational activity in primitive society! How wonderful!"

system:"……"

System: "It seems like the abacus beads have popped into my database."

Jiang Ning ignored the system, while Hongyue continued to speak: "The Great Horned Deer tribe will definitely not agree. Although their Great Horned Deer are docile, their size is undeniable. If a group of Great Horned Deer charged together, even our hunting team would have to give way. It's just that they have too few Great Horned Deer, so their tribe is not strong."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning asked curiously, "Too few? How many people are in their tribe?"

Hongyue thought for a moment and said, "There are probably more than a hundred people. There are even fewer giant deer. You can see their tribe on the way from the trade fair to the salt mine. There is a grassland where their tribe lives, and you can often see their deer herds if you go from there."

Jiang Ning sighed, "It's so far away from our tribe."

"Yes, if it's just for tilling the land, the two little water buffaloes that the tribe caught before are quite obedient now. With the plows you made, Jiang Wu, the tribesmen can till the land much more easily now."

Jiang Ning had previously mentioned wanting to raise some animals in the tribe, so the chief arranged for people to capture some, including these two small water buffalo.

Originally, they caught water buffalo, but the water buffalo were wild and difficult to tame, so Jiang Ning reluctantly turned them into beef jerky. It was his first time making it, and he didn't have much experience, so he didn't control the heat properly and it was a bit tough.

The rabbits in the tribe have been having litter after litter, and a lot of trees have been cut down to make cages for them.

The Reeves' pheasant has now learned to lay its eggs in a fixed location. Now, the children in the tribe can go to the pheasant every day to get a boiled egg as a snack.

The tribe's cultivated fields have expanded considerably, and the gathering team has dug up some wild vegetables to try planting in the tribe, with many successes.

Primitive humans were actually quite intelligent; they just didn't have the concept of planting before. Once they realized the benefits of planting, given enough time and opportunity, they were able to create an amazing agricultural civilization.

With more land needing to be plowed and the tribe lacking manpower, Jiang Ning seized the opportunity during the off-season to quickly make the plow.

This plow was made directly based on the design of the curved plow, but the size of the plow was carefully adjusted according to the body shape of the primitive man and Sirius.

To make the plow more accurately, she even made her own wooden ruler, using the first joint of her index finger as three centimeters as a starting point.

Previously, the animal skin clothing and shoes were made using pre-made templates, which they would then cut out, so these tools weren't really necessary.

After traveling for several days, they finally returned to the tribe. Hongyue took the goods and the newcomers to see the chief, while Jiang Ning took lotus roots to see the shaman.

Jiang Ning has been away for a while, so there's no one to handle the herbs; the shaman needs to organize them personally.

When she arrived, the sun was shining brightly, and some herbs were drying in front of the cave. The shaman was grinding herbs in the shade nearby.

"Witch, this is lotus root from the Lotus Tribe. It was picked directly from the fierce lotus plant and is very good for your health. Would you like to try some?"

Jiang Ning took out a section of washed lotus root and offered it to the witch. This type of lotus root can be eaten raw.

The shaman's health was deteriorating. He put down what he was holding, took the lotus root, took a small bite, and savored it: "Not bad, I can feel a very faint energy inside."

"I'm glad you like it. We brought back a lot from the Lotus Tribe, and we'll cook different dishes for you every day from now on."

"Okay." Wu listened to Jiang Ning with a smile, just like an elder being served by his children and grandchildren. He could naturally feel Jiang Ning's concern for him, and his physical discomfort seemed to have faded a lot.

Jiang Ning followed the shaman to process all the herbs that needed to be processed before leaving the shaman's cave and going to the communal kitchen to check on the cliff vine.

As soon as you step inside, you feel as if the air is much fresher.

The tribe needs to consume large quantities of wild animals year-round, and much of the blood from these animals seeps deep into the soil, making the kitchen smell unpleasant.

Not only that, but there used to be a lot of mosquitoes around here. This time when I came back, there were far fewer mosquitoes, and even the ground seemed to have changed color.

Zhi was busy preparing food in the kitchen with his men and didn't notice Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning squatted down in front of the vine at the corner of the cliff and carefully observed it, discovering that it had grown much larger.

At the time, Jiang Ning simply threw the cliff vine, along with the bucket, onto the open ground where the beasts were separated. In just over ten days, not only have the leaves become more lush, but many new buds have also sprouted.

Even more surprisingly, its roots penetrated the wooden barrel and penetrated into the soil.

"It turns out it could have grown better without me." Jiang Ning couldn't help but think of the plant she had tried to kill in her previous life, and complained to the system in a low voice.

The system comforted her: "This cliff vine might be a vampire, unlike the plants you used to grow. Besides, without your care, it would have died long ago."

"What about winter? Do I have to move it into the cave again?" Jiang Ning poked the leaves of the cliff vine with her finger.

"It shouldn't be necessary. It had to hibernate under the cliff before, and there's still some time before winter. Let it grow a little longer, and it should be able to hibernate on its own," the system said.

When Zhi finally had some free time, Jiang Ning quickly found her and carefully explained the lotus root situation. There weren't many lotus roots; it was best to leave them for Wu to eat.

As the first hunting team returned, the fourth team followed suit, organizing their equipment and supplies in preparation for a new round of hunting.

Nowadays, in order to obtain enough food for the winter, the second, third, and fourth teams are all outside, while the other tribesmen are busy harvesting in the fields, leaving the tribe feeling empty.
