[Flowers, Collection——] The cold winter has finally arrived. When Hua Xi returned to Chinatown, the sky was already pale and dim, and the earth was desolate. It wasn’t the wind blade blowing on the face that made people’s faces turn red.
At present, after the tribe accepted the 600 refugee households from the alliance, the population has jumped to more than 13,000 people. It seems that the 50,000-year-old Xiaoguan is just around the corner. If you include the more than 8,000 slaves, the population is a bit large.
It’s terrifying, almost equal to less than half of the alliance’s population. Now, except for the White Wolf tribe, there is no other tribe with more tribal population than the Chinese tribe. According to the report submitted by the Council of Elders, the productivity level of the tribe has been compared with that of the entire alliance.
The total productivity is roughly the same, which is terrifying
The main reason for this phenomenon is that the two Huaxi put most of the tribe's production means, whether it is manpower, material resources and research, in an effort to improve the living standards of the tribe. Secondly, the gap in the level of civilization and science and technology has led to the
The Chinese tribe has a better starting point and development space than other tribes. Third, the Chinese tribe is located in a remote place, far away from the right and wrong of the alliance, so they can focus their limited labor force more on production.
At present, the military strength of the Chinese tribe is as follows: 1,000 main cavalry and 2,000 infantry. Daily training of the infantry requires them to learn riding and horse attack exercises from time to time in order to replenish the losses of the cavalry regiment at any time. What Hua Xi needs is a strong cavalry.
Since the training and training of cavalry requires a lot of money and time, so
, Hua Xi has never dared to expand the number of cavalry regiments. The current expenditure alone to maintain 3,000 troops is enough for the Chinese tribe to bear. The extra 1,000 cavalrymen who attacked the Getians last time were temporarily transferred from the infantry regiments.
, as soon as the battle was over, they immediately disbanded the thousand cavalry and fought back the infantry regiment. The consumption was too great.
Although Hua Xi does not use all the young and strong men in the tribe to fight like other tribes, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese tribe is definitely the most powerful and focused training among all tribes, and the level has always been higher than that of other tribes.
The warriors who serve as soldiers and the free time as farmers, coupled with the current production capacity of the tribe, is enough for Hua Xi to temporarily form a peasant army to deal with emergencies when necessary.
Tukan, who returned from the White Wolf tribe, reported to Hua Xi the recent situation in the alliance. Two words can describe it: chaos. Because the Chinese tribe secretly solicited and incited various tribes in the alliance to create trouble, almost all of them were in trouble.
Each tribe has its own grudges, and the big conflict is directed at the White Wolf tribe.
Ai Zezi is also very impressive. After several attempts, he finally managed to make several thorn-headed tribes surrender. However, the White Wolf tribe's plan to unify the alliance can only be postponed. According to Tukan's understanding, Ai Zezi estimates
I want to wait until I can buy enough bronze weapons from Tiebi and then plunder and annex other tribes again.
In other words, during this period of time, although there were frequent frictions in the alliance on the surface, nothing major would happen. At least in the short term, the Chinese tribes had to worry about the bad ideas the alliance had against them. Since there was no need to worry too much about the south.
Hua Xi decided not to waste these four or five months in vain during this long winter.
After the sacrifice hosted by the high priest to celebrate the arrival of the winter solstice, when the first ray of sunshine on the new day shone on the land of the Chinese tribe, Hua Xi publicly announced that this year's winter would be cold and all labor and production would continue as usual, and gave everyone outdoors
The person gave me a gift that was barely enough to withstand it
After several years of contact with the wind-cold sweaters, Hua Xi has learned that the tribe's resistance to cold is much stronger than that of later generations. The extra sweaters paired with their original animal skins are enough to withstand the severe cold weather without
The improvement in the quality of food for frostbite also made their bodies stronger
In addition, detailed regulations were made on the tones and pronunciation of Pinyin, allowing the priests of the ancestral temple to educate those tribesmen who learn Mandarin in the name of God. As for whether and when they can learn the standard, Hua Xi
I don't care, as long as communication is not a problem. Those tribesmen who want to enter the priest's ancestral temple and study with the priest, dream of getting the title of apprentice, and then rising to the rank of priest, will naturally put all their efforts into learning because sometimes desire is a good motivation.

Labor and production continued as usual, but Hua Xi's tribe's swimming training was immediately suspended. Although the body can withstand the severe cold, the river water in the cold winter is not something that the human body cannot withstand. The so-called winter swimming training of modern soldiers is based on many high-level athletes.
Protein food and nutrition combination based on
If winter swimming training is implemented at this time, it is estimated that these tribesmen who have just escaped from food and clothing will be tortured alive. Currently, there are more than a thousand people in the tribe who can swim, and most of them can swim thirty or forty meters, especially
One hundred sailors selected for training can swim more than a hundred meters.
After arranging winter production tasks in China City, Hua Xi left it to the Council of Elders to make plans and complete the tasks he assigned. Of course, what he had to do was to focus on exploring the areas around the tribe. The north and east were vast.
There are vast forests and mountainous areas, with a powerful alliance in the south. Only in the west are there no powerful tribes, because the western end of the continent is the ocean, and the Sunset Fort is built at the mouth of the sea.
In the eyes of the ancients, the sea is the end of the world, and the vast sea is the residence of gods and evil beings. Therefore, everyone will be full of awe of the sea. Of course, the same is true for Hua Xi, but only out of respect for nature.
Revere, not ghosts and gods
Exploring the sea has been Hua Xi’s dream since childhood. After playing the big voyage, Hua Xi has always been extremely interested in exploration and adventure. Now, after traveling back to the wilderness, naturally she cannot waste this opportunity to realize her wish.
After assigning the task, Hua Xi immediately returned to Sunset Castle without stopping. Here, he wanted to take the first step towards his childhood wish, which was also a key step in the development of the tribe. At present, although the development of the tribe is very fast, there are still eight thousand
The food pressure of many slaves has not been resolved from beginning to end. Hua Xi decided to eat this winter.
Ji Li, let the tribesmen go fishing on the Bailong River. As for going out to sea, Hua Xi didn't dare to be so crazy. If he went out to sea with a small bamboo raft, if he was knocked into the water by a sea wave, the temperature would be no joke. Fishing on the Bailong River, although in
The rivers in some river basins are also very large, but at least they are less dangerous than the sea.
The fishing tribesmen, that is, the first generation of fishermen, began to either support or paddle rafts into the Bailong River and Shenglong Lake next to China City. The number of fishermen was not large, only about four to five hundred fishermen, but for
Four to five hundred fishermen added a little life to the silent rivers and lakes.
The number of people alone may be far smaller than the number of farmers, miners, craftsmen, etc. working in the wild or in the city, but the food captured by these four to five hundred fishermen can greatly alleviate the food pressure caused by slaves.
At the same time, it also opens up more food sources for the entire tribe.
After arranging the work of the fishermen, Hua Xi also started his own coastal journey. The location of Sunset Fort is a concave-shaped natural high-quality harbor. The mountains, forests and topography provide the harbor with protection from the sea breeze and sea lang in different seasons. Hua Xi
Xi summoned the three best sailors, and after carrying enough food to sustain four people for seven or eight days, as well as bows, arrows, spears and other weapons, they began to support the raft and sail out of the harbor precariously.
Of course, there is no need to mention the deep sea. Although the wind in the shallow sea is not as good as that in the deep sea, it can still be considered rough. All Hua Xi has to do is take advantage of the days when the wind is beautiful and the sea is not big, and he explores along the coastline. He is not going to fight.
Instead, you should explore the area around you as early as possible to see how many islands there are, the size of each island, whether there are barbarians living on the island, etc.
Hua Xi specially ordered people to modify the bamboo raft for this voyage in the early days. The so-called modification means to make the bamboo raft thicker and stronger, and to drive two poles into the bamboo raft to stand it up.
, a wooden pile about one meter high. The function of the wooden pile is to allow sailors to grab the wooden pile to stabilize their body when the wind is strong, so as not to be driven into the water by the wind.
The rich green scenery in front of them kept appearing in the eyes of Hua Xi and others, and then retreated away. Hua Xi felt that this was the southern coast, but he didn't know whether it was Shenzhen.
It is certain that Hua Xi does not even know how long it is since the era he traveled through. Naturally, it is also unknown whether the land of Shenzhen exists in this era.
The sea water is rippling with blue waves. The raft of Hua Xi and others has been rowed about a hundred meters away from the coast. Except for the direction of the tribe in the east, there is almost a vast expanse of white. The sea is so vast that it cannot be seen.
Going out to sea for the first time was a big test for the three sailors on the raft. It was not a physical test, but a psychological test. Since the wind was not strong, vomiting did not appear on the three of them, but they fainted.
Fortunately, after half a day, the sailors who were in good shape finally got used to it, and their fear of the sea was reduced a lot.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and the stupid bird flies first, let alone the smart bird. When other tribes are still huddled in the bed to avoid the cold and out of fear of ghosts and gods, this is why the Chinese tribe has gained more advantages than other tribes.
When civilization advances one step further, the exploration of the sea will yield little immediate gains.
Such a substantial gain, but the ideological transformation of the tribesmen is definitely not the broadening of horizons that can be exchanged for material things. It can make human beings' way of thinking and understanding of the world view enough to cause a huge impact. Those wild thoughts can cause
Isn’t this how inventions and creations come about?
