BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154: Tribal Assembly
Thanks to the population growth, various industries had emerged within the tribe.
Even Brian\'s factory had undergone more detailed divisions.
However, these numerous changes had also brought about confusion.
This was the main reason Amy felt overwhelmed and incapable of handling the workload.
The Crimson Star Tribe was at a crucial juncture, and Enzo did not want any issues, especially since he would not be present for the tribe for a long period.
Therefore, the Crimson Star Tribe needed a new order and new systems.
Enzo envisioned that, after the establishment of the new systems, managers would no longer need to handle everything personally. Instead, they would simply need to draft some policies and plans, and delegate tasks to the appropriate staff. This would significantly improve the tribe\'s operational efficiency.
"Now." Enzo said, looking around the room before his gaze settled on Brian, "Brian, please start by reporting on the factory situation."
Brian stood up and responded, "Yes, Lord Enzo."
Brian continued in detail. "Currently, the factories I manage are the pottery factory and the ironware factory. The pottery factory produces standard pottery, colored pottery, glass, and colored glass. With the current output, we produce nearly 300 pieces of pottery and 200 glass items daily. As for the ironware factory, due to limited efficiency in ore transportation, we can only smelt one ton of pig iron per month."
After the tribe\'s development was on track, Enzo had introduced some measurement units to facilitate calculations.
Upon hearing this, Enzo asked, "What specifically limits the transportation efficiency?"
Brian replied, "Lord Enzo, our ore-exploration squads have found additional ore deposits. However, transporting them solely with the tribe\'s manpower is impractical. Only yaks with wooden carts can handle large-scale transport, but the tribe\'s yak numbers are currently limited."
Enzo understood and asked, "Didn\'t Christina and Douglas bring back a large number of yaks recently?"
Brian was about to respond when Christina, who had stood up, interrupted, saying, "Lord Enzo, we kept most of those yaks to form a second caravan and establish smaller teams for trading near the jungle, aiming to expand the Crimson Star currency\'s reach in the surrounding area."
After Christina finished, Watt stood up.
Watt, in charge of livestock, reported that under his management, the pasture now housed over a hundred various beasts, with boars and Giant Bone Wolves being the majority. These two types of beasts are also the main mounts for the tribe\'s cavalry.
Watt spoke up. "Lord Enzo, the pasture currently houses several dozen yaks, and we expect a new batch of yak calves to be born by autumn. Additionally, we might consider using other animals for transport. The aggression of the third-generation boars has greatly diminished, and they could potentially be used for carrying goods."
This suggestion received unanimous agreement from those present.
As the discussions continued, everyone began to understand the nature of the tribal assembly.
The entire meeting hall became lively.
All the people joining in the meeting were with participants discussing and exchanging ideas.
Due to the multitude of issues to address, the meeting lasted a full three days, but the results were very promising.
The biggest change was the introduction of Enzo\'s new system.
The Crimson Star Tribe established specific titles: Priest, Chief, Deputy Chief, Legion Commander, and various ministers responsible for detailed affairs.
The new roles were as follows:
Enzo became the Priest of the Crimson Star Tribe, holding absolute authority.
Amy was named Chief, with Ward as Deputy Chief, overseeing all tribal affairs.Tia, Clara, and Neville were appointed as the Legion Commanders of the tribe\'s battle legions, responsible for external conflicts.Amy also took on the role of Finance Minister, with Watt as Livestock Minister, Heru as Textile Minister, Brian as Industrial Minister, and Christina as Commercial Minister...
The factories would be managed by individuals of a lower rank, and private factory construction was permitted.
Though it required authorization.
With the new management system in place, the tribe\'s affairs became much clearer and more organized.
In addition to the division of tribal management, there were also discussions about adventurers and supernatural powers. The Adventurer\'s Association would maintain its existing structure, but a new Potion Master\'s Association was established, with Mina as its president. Enzo also assigned Mina the task of teaching Potion knowledge.
Mina gladly accepted.
He was eager for more help to share his workload.
Besides the formation of the Potion Master\'s Association, there were personnel changes. Fraspens was assigned to the Adventurer\'s Association by Enzo. Although Fraspens had no supernatural powers at the moment, his exceptional knowledge and Mina\'s ability to create Potions to restore his power made him a valuable asset.
Thus Fraspens accepted Enzo\'s invitation without hesitation.
The meeting covered many topics, providing a clearer understanding of the tribe\'s current state.
This energized many participants, who were eager to start working immediately.
Enzo received feedback that the tribal fire had greatly intensified and was beginning to show remarkable potential, possibly advancing further with another boost.
However, he might not be able to see him next.
As the meeting concluded and attendees hurriedly left, Enzo stood up and walked out of the assembly hall, heading towards Mina\'s Potion Hut.
In the Potion Hut, Nellies was busy preparing Potions and hadn\'t noticed Enzo\'s arrival.
Enzo observed silently and, seeing Nellies fail several times, couldn\'t help but offer a tip: "You should add the agave juice first, then mix in the grey stone powder and shake it thoroughly to successfully create the Toughness Potion."
"Oh!" Nellies exclaimed in surprise.
She was not expected Enzo\'s presence and correction.
Enzo ignored her and looked towards Mina.
He was accompanied by the High Tower\'s soul.
The soul displayed an extremely obsequious demeanor, resembling a pet eager to greet its master, its non-existent tail seemingly wagging with enthusiasm.
The soul approached Enzo and said warmly, "Welcome, my great master."
Enzo waved dismissively, uninterested in the flattery.
Mina then asked, "Have you read all the Potion knowledge from the bookshelves?"
"Not all, just some." Enzo replied, then inquired about the soul\'s status: "Mina, how is his soul strength now?"
Before Mina could answer, the High Tower\'s soul jumped in, "Master, I can now reopen the High Tower."
Enzo nodded and said calmly, "Then open it."
The matter of the High Tower was not discussed in the meeting.
Given the tribe\'s current situation, only a few would be aware of it due to its special nature. The High Tower Space, filled with numerous supernatural creatures, would serve as a training ground for the tribe\'s members who have entered the realm of the supernatural.
When the High Tower was opened, nothing unusual occurred.
Apart from the white light emanating from the High Tower\'s soul and its noticeable fatigue, there was nothing particularly unusual.
The soul opened the passageway, and Enzo walked straight inside.
Upon re-entering the High Tower Space, Enzo was met with a sense of desolation. The damage from the last incident was still evident, with many cracks on the floor and a large crater visible in the center of the High Tower.
Seeing the current state of the High Tower, Enzo questioned, "Are you sure it\'s still usable?"
The High Tower\'s soul confidently replied, "Master, it is absolutely fine!"
The soul\'s confidence was not without basis. Despite the significant impact on the High Tower, tests showed that the trial spaces of the first eight floors were functioning properly. However, the later trial spaces required repairs, which presented a challenge due to the required materials.
Spatial Stones, Spatial Stabilization Rituals, and Life Simulation Rituals.
While the High Tower\'s soul had records for the latter two rituals, setting them up was no simple task.
Spatial Stones were extremely rare supernatural materials. To construct the High Tower, the Tower Tribe had collected almost all available Spatial Stones from the barren mountain region and traded for more from other locations.
Finding such stones now would likely require venturing into the external realm.
Enzo couldn\'t do anything about this either.
Given this, Enzo could only sigh and say, "Let\'s leave it at that for now."
He then instructed the High Tower\'s soul, "First, tidy up the High Tower Space. When the tribe members undergo trials, you can set up dangerous trials, but ensure their safety!"
The High Tower\'s soul eagerly agreed.
Enzo left the High Tower Space and returned to the Potion Hut.
After learning that Mina\'s materials for body construction were nearly gathered, he planned to leave. However, just as he exited the Potion Hut, he heard a commotion coming from the tribe\'s northern gate.
"What\'s going on now?" he wondered.
