Due to the sudden increase of more than 3,000 people, the pressure on food seemed a bit tight. In desperation, Hua Xi had no choice but to change the items exchanged with each tribe from ore to a ratio of half ore and half food, in order to alleviate the consequences of population growth.
The short-term food pressure is 3,000 people. A day's ration may not put much pressure on the tribe, but what about one month or three months? That is not what simple numbers can represent.
Hua Xi has no intention of using the bags of rice stored in the warehouse. They are all reserves for the winter. Currently, the tribe does not have strategic reserves of food. At the current rate, it will take at least two or three years to establish one.
Establishing enough food reserves is enough to sustain the entire tribe's food consumption for a certain period of time without working. The current food reserves in the granary are only enough to sustain the consumption of 10,000 people for two months.
In the barbaric era, although the climate along the southern coast was not frozen for thousands of miles, it was still snowing heavily, and the climate was cold. Hungry and cold were the biggest enemies of mankind in this era, not the hostile foreign barbarians and the ferocious beasts that could be seen everywhere. If a tribe could not solve it,
The problem of food and clothing for the tribe is just a matter of militarism and wanton expansion, which is only a temporary glory.
Since Hua Xi became the patriarch, he has discovered in the past few years that the pressure of survival is not as easy as reading YY novels in the past. He also realizes that plundering and expansion is just for better survival and development.
, can be regarded as a great tonic but if it cannot be digested, then it is not a great tonic, but a poison that accelerates death.
Hua Xi previously proposed ores and populations as the main exchange items for the southern tribes. After several exchanges with the southern tribes, the other tribes also discovered the importance of population and refused to use the population as an exchange item for Chinese goods. These tribes
They only agreed to use ore as the main exchange item, and proposed that like the White Wolf Clan, they would provide the ore and let the Chinese forge high-quality copper soldiers, and use the same half-and-half ratio as the White Wolf Clan to distribute the weapons.
In this situation, Hua Xi could only smile bitterly and agree that there are only a very small number of fools in this world. Most people are very smart. He is just a person who knows a little more than them. There is nothing special in other aspects.
After increasing the proportion of food exchange, the pressure on food is somewhat relieved in the short term. After all, the leaders of all tribes know that food is more important than anything else. Those who agree to exchange a small amount of food with the Chinese are basically the White Wolf tribe and the Kotou tribe.
The reason why they agreed to exchange food with large and medium-sized tribes like the Yao tribe (note: the White Wolf tribe stopped exchanging food half a year ago) was because Tukan conveyed Hua Xi’s meaning: Anyone who wants to exchange food
Tribes can appropriately lower the value of exchange items to exchange for more needed items. Tribes with surplus food will naturally not be reluctant to give up some food in exchange.
On the Baishi tribe's side, Hua Xi also asked Tukan to suspend the food trade. The food consumption of the other three thousand people could barely be maintained, but since they have become Chinese, they must naturally have the consciousness to become Chinese.
Rights and obligations have been equal since ancient times
At first, Hua Xi asked them to build a hut in an open space in the west of the city to stay temporarily and recuperate for a month. After all, their bodies were still too weak. Even if they were asked to do some hard work, they couldn't do anything.
It is better to let the priests teach them about the origin of the tribe and some etiquette, laws, etc. that civilians need to know during the period of recuperation.
After a month of recuperation, the bodies of these new tribesmen have basically recovered. Some people who were originally in good health are in better health than before after being nourished by soup and meat. There are some legends about the tribe leader Hua Xi. They have early
I have already learned from the mouths of the priests and other tribesmen that everyone is full of admiration, because the town in front of them and the equipment used are all new to them. Apart from this explanation from God, is there anything else?
Can you explain all this?
This group of barbarians living in the vast forest-covered mountainous area, their souls are like a blank sheet of paper. Once they are constantly bewitched and preached day and night by the priests who are almost perverted, they not only remember the Chinese laws clearly, but also the etiquette and Chinese culture.
The gods worshiped by the tribe and all the myths and legends are kept in mind
The propaganda method that Hua Xi and the ancestral temple priests secretly discussed was not only an overwhelming layout, but also a propaganda based on reality and needs. Compared with the illusory and confusing methods of other tribe wizards, the effect is better and stronger.
"Have you seen those knights on strong horses? Those are warriors who have made certain contributions to the tribe and received blessings from the gods."
"Imagine those people with so much food and land? Work hard, and as long as you are willing to work hard, there will be milk and bread."
"Want to become a priest? Follow a great priest, where you can learn great and profound theology..."
Such all-pervasive propaganda, whether it is priests or ordinary civilians, they often say this. When some people who are still skeptical see those noble and generous tribesmen, they believe it.
"I also want to become..." This is the wish of the tribe. What Hua Xi has to do is to let these primitive people have a pursuit in their hearts. When they have a vision to pursue, whether it is the tribe or themselves, it is a good thing. Just like a certain
As a master said, when a person has no dreams, he is just a walking corpse. People who pursue dreams will always have a colorful life!
A month later, Hua Xi dispersed these people into various industries. Learning life skills from the masters there was the top priority. 70% of the more than 3,000 people were divided into field reclamation and learning.
How to plant
From learning to drive cattle, to operating plows, to the subsequent series of tasks, it is difficult to work independently in less than half a year. Hua Xi knows that as long as they survive the cold winter and next spring, the tribe's productivity will be able to gain another boost in productivity.
Improvement is not only reflected in the increase in food income, but the increase in population can stimulate demand in various industries. As long as there are people, there will be demand. If there is demand, there will naturally be supply for so many people. Everyone's needs are different, and the division of labor in society will become more detailed.
After settling the affairs of these thousands of people, the weather has turned cold and entered early winter.
Standing on the top of the north gate, Hua Xi always heard the words in his mind: "A terrible tribe has come from the mountainous area in the north."
According to what they said, although this tribe's civilization is still in the barbaric era, they have learned to extract venom or anesthetics from animals and plants as a means of capturing or attacking prey.
This is not easy to deal with. If these people have bows and arrows, even if they have bronze weapons on their side, the casualties will be considerable.
"Fuck, these people are just a group of terrorists. Their weapons are biological and chemical weapons, grandma's." Hua Xi couldn't help but cursed inwardly, which caused some surprise among the soldiers standing on the city wall.
Hua Xi was not aware of his gaffe at this moment, and was still thinking about something related to the survival of the tribe.
Hua'an, who has been to the Baishi tribe once, and the reaction of Tukan, who is responsible for trade with foreign tribes, whether it is from the handwritten records of transactions with the Baishi tribe, or what he has seen in person, all indicate that the Baishi tribe is currently
Save food, train warriors, and purchase copper soldiers and equipment. Although the number of copper soldiers (pure copper weapons) purchased by the tribe so far does not exceed 500, it is not difficult to see Bai Jiang’s ambition for external expansion.
An ambitious person will definitely be willing to take risks and give himself a try when he has enough strength.
The White Stone Clan is the nearest big clan, and may not be as powerful as the White Wolf Clan, but the hidden dangers cannot be ignored. In addition, they are just to the north of us. Although the farmland is cultivated outside the south gate, I was worried about the harassment of the Southern Alliance at the time.
Most of the fields are cultivated outside the north gate. If the Baishi tribe wants to take advantage of the thousand acres of fertile land, it will cause trouble for Baishi in the north, Bailang in the south, and even the entire alliance. If these tribes unite, all
Keep an eye on this big fat sheep of yours...
Thinking of this, Hua Xi had already broken out in a cold sweat. Although no tribe would dare to provoke the current strength of the tribe, who can be sure that, driven by huge interests, they will unite to kill themselves?
The Southern Alliance will not make any obvious big moves against themselves in the short term. At most, they will make some small moves in transactions. After all, there is a terrifying Getian clan in their southeast, and they need to save some energy to deal with that pervert.
of the Alliance Tribes
Empress Nuwa? Respecting Nuwa as a tribal deity, civilization must not be weak. She is one of the top figures in the history of ancient Chinese mythology. She is not someone to be trifled with. There is Nuwa, and maybe there is Fuxi. Oh my God, this is all
What are you talking about? These ancients who were more powerful than the Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor, and Chi You would not be so lucky that they would encounter them.
But at least from the current point of view, the Getian clan has, to a certain extent, restrained the deep, cunning, and ferocious beast of Aizezi from attacking, holding back the Southern Alliance, and has more of its own.
Time to prepare Judging from the dynamics of the White Wolf clan after several contacts and feedback, although Ai Zezi is hidden behind the scenes and everything on the surface is executed by Su Mu, this kind of Ai Zezi makes Hua Xi feel more
It's so scary that one day it might suddenly come out and devour you.
There is nothing going on in the south for the time being. Hua Xi thinks that he should think about how to deal with the underage beast of the Baishi tribe. Bai Jiang should also know from the people who have just joined the tribe that there is a tribe in the northern mountainous area that can use poison.
Poison, although I know what this weapon sounds like to me, but to the ears of a barbarian like Bai Jiang, there is no guarantee that he will not think of things like gods.
If the White Stone Tribe and that mysterious tribe meet, although the White Stone Tribe's current strength shouldn't worry too much about each other, the panic caused by the poisoning of the tribe is not a trivial matter. God knows whether the poison will be contagious, or the poison of the mysterious tribe.
How many species are there? Maybe they use anesthesia when hunting and poison when attacking people?
No wonder the laws of war in later generations stipulate that the use of biological and chemical weapons is not allowed. It makes sense.
Maybe I can start from here as an entry point to solve the hidden danger of the Baishi clan.
