Zhao himself had no objections.

In fact, he was quite enthusiastic about it.

Lu Gi assigned the task of escorting this team to Gujan, who was indeed quite bothersome with his obsession over his younger brother.

It was best to send him out quickly, even though he would eventually have to return, as Guya could not remain there, and those newly joined residents would need to be brought back to give Luo Gi a look before assigning tasks.

After this large-scale personnel transfer, the Ming Jing tribe, which had lost a considerable number of people, suddenly felt much quieter.

It wasn't until 5 days later that Gujan returned, escorting his precious younger brother and over 40 new residents.

Looking at these new residents, Lu Gi knew he had more work to do.

He then spread out a piece of B-kin paper in his leader office, replacing traditional paper and took a charcoal pencil, preparing for a registration office setup, allowing the newcomers to line up to register.

Throughout this entire process, while he checked the attribute panels, he also symbolically asked a few questions like, "What is your name?" and "What work are you good at?" He discovered that these questions were unexpectedly useful.

Among the ordinary people, many had mediocre attribute panels and no obvious special talents.

Asking them these questions could save a lot of trouble.

What they said might not be the most suitable for them, but at least they had experience in those areas.

Thanks to the reader, exploding WindCat for the reward.

I love you, too.

End of chapter.

Chapter 142.

The forge department opens its furnace with a completion of the third division city.

Luog named it Ironwall, symbolizing an unbreakable fortress.

Coupled with General Xiaoan's personal oversight, the name turned out to be quite fitting, even though it more reflected Lu G's hopes for the city.

After all, the distance was quite significant, requiring at least 3 days for a one-way trip.

If players were to invade while the forces were stationed there, the Iron Wall Tribe would be in real danger.

Lu G hoped the Iron Wall Tribe could endure this challenging period, which is why he chose the name Iron Wall.

Finally done, sitting in his boss chair, Lu Gi stretched lazily.

Among the more than 40 people, he discovered two exceptional talents with a single attribute limit reaching four stars.

One was a herbal master with a four-star intelligence cap, who was promptly assigned to the medical department.

The other was their tribe leader, who surprisingly had a four-star limit in spirit.

Unlike other attributes with clear effects, the utility of the spirit attribute was not immediately apparent.

However, every attribute was crucial.

Spirit could also be understood as willpower and energy.

Those with high spirit levels were less susceptible to negative influences and had more resolute will.

Of course, these were just supplementary effects as the most significant impact of spirit level was on work efficiency.

The higher the spirit level, the more efficient the work.

For instance, while one person only completed half of a task, another who started simultaneously could finish it entirely.

That was the difference in work efficiency.

Moreover, for players like Luog, the level of spirit had another important distinction.

It affected the number of times they could activate skills.

To get back to the point, in addition to spirit, the tribe leader attributes in bravery, intelligence, endurance, and leadership all reached three stars, making this a fairly well-rounded talent.

However, his talent skill was the same management development as Zhao Tao, indicating he was likely a workaholic with management talent.

However, Luog did not immediately assign him to the Black Rockck tribe as he was a newcomer whose loyalty level had not yet met the standard.

It would be unwise to grant him such authority right away, especially since the Black Rockck tribe had important coal resources.

Instead, he would keep him nearby as an assistant to help manage the daily affairs of the Mirror Tribe.

After arranging the more than 40 new recruits, Lu G expanded the military slightly.

Over the past few months, he had increased military strength more frequently.

But there was no choice.

As the territory grew larger, so did the need for military power to defend it.

Otherwise, no matter how well-managed the territory was, an enemy force could easily take it down.

Correspondingly, with the increase in military strength and population, the food issue in the tribe began to trouble Luog.

Life had been a bit tough recently, and out of necessity, he implemented a special plan for this period, sending out two archer squads composed of new recruits to assist the hunting team.

This way, while training to shoot arrows, they could also help bring back more game.

As for the risk of skewing the skill tree, he accepted it with a pinch of his nose.

Maintaining this state, half a month later, the iron wall tribe finally transported the first batch of extracted copper ore back on two wooden carts.

Luog waited a long time for this first batch of copper ore.

During the waiting period, he worked hard to build the forge, bellows, and various forging tools according to the design.

And he selected personnel to form the forge department.

He even preemptively taught the members of the forge department the content of copper smelting.

Basically just waiting for the copper ore to be mined and brought back for practice.

After waiting day and night, he finally received the copper ore.

Without any unnecessary words, they got to work.

With the forge and bellows in place, and coal as fuel, temperature would not be an issue.

The forge started to blaze, and as the bellows pumped, the temperature inside began to rise steadily.

The members of the forge department had clearly rehearsed this process countless times during the waiting days.

They were all exceptionally skilled.

However, the focus was on what came next.

As one member picked up the first piece of copper or to throw into the forge for heating, his face was clearly marked with tension and he even glanced back at Lu G standing behind him.

Noticing the gaze, Lu G raised his hand, signaling not to worry about failure.

Every half month, the Iron Wall tribe would regularly deliver copper or they could confidently give it a try without any problems.

Setting aside various technical details in simple terms, ancient casting techniques were not complicated.

They roughly fell into two categories.

One was forging similar to common impressions of forging where the required metal or was heated until soft and then the blacksmith shaped it into the desired form with a hammer.

The second was casting, which meant creating a mold first, then melting the copper or into bronze and pouring it into the mold, allowing it to cool and solidify.

When placed together, it was clear that swords and knives forged through countless hammer strikes would undoubtedly be of better quality than those made through the second, more convenient method.

However, the second method was not without merit.

It was efficient.

While it might not meet quality standards for military equipment, it sufficed for some everyday items.

At the same time, the copper coins LUG intended to issue would clearly need to be produced using the second method.

Otherwise, it would take ages hammering each one out.

He had taught everything he could, and there was little left for him to guide the members of the forge department.

However, he couldn't help but feel uneasy without taking a few glances.

listening to the system prompts in his mind unlocking copper smelting and forging projects and watching the members of the forge department gradually get into the groove after his encouragement.

Luog nodded in satisfaction, not wanting to disturb them.

He quietly left the forge department.

He had other matters to attend to since the forge department had started smelting copper.

It was time for him to organize and digest the massive framework of the commercial system he had in mind.

End of this chapter.

Chapter 143.

Rapid development for a period of time.

After that, Lu Gi was living a smooth and easy life.

After all, there were no threatening barbarian tribes around them, allowing him to enjoy a relatively comfortable farming life.

System prompt.

Congratulations to player Luog for successfully inventing copper coins.

System prompt.

Congratulations to player Lu G for triggering the currency trading project.

Playing with a small copper coin in his hand, Lu Gi couldn't hide his excitement.

Although this was just the beginning, he had succeeded.

His civilization had successfully taken its first step from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.

Seizing the opportunity, Luog quickly followed up with the introduction of a commercial system and the issuance of copper coins.

This entire new system undoubtedly caused a stir within the Ming Jing tribe.

As such, matters completely exceeded the common knowledge of people in this era.
