Yanxu's hair turned gray because of this.
Food and warmth are big issues!
They have already lived the life of primitive people. Many of them wear clothes made of animal skins to keep out the cold. But after all, not everyone has it. There are still quite a few people who have no cotton-padded clothes or food. Winter has come. They can only huddle at home and keep adding firewood to keep warm.
In the huge office, Yan Xu kept tapping on the table with his forehead propped up. Jin Jue stood opposite him with information in his hands. Jin Jue was very honored to be appointed as the secretary-general of the first head of state. He was also the first secretary-general of the secretariat. Secretary General.
All the office supplies they use now are all handmade. Knowing that everything is hard to come by, no one will waste it. Even every piece of paper must be used with both front and back sides. After using it, I was willing to put it in the waste paper recycling place. It was so frugal to live a frugal life. Even the head of state's office lived like this, not to mention other departments.
"Have the statistical results come out?" Yanxu tapped the table with his pen.
"Out."
"How many?"
Jin Jue looked at the numbers on the document, "There are nearly 700,000 people who are hungry and cold, with no food and no cotton-padded clothes. They can only stay at home every day and cannot go out. They only have the clothes they wore in this world and the clothes they carry with them. Clothing.”
In the forest not far away, only hemp-like plants were found, but no cotton was found. Silk fabrics were even more unthinkable. If silkworms could not be found, where could one go to get silk? Nowadays, animal skins are the most common. If there was a little more food, I could exchange it for a set of animal skins to keep out the cold, but there was so much that I couldn't even eat it, let alone exchange food for the animal skins.
Yanxu sighed, this was really a headache.
If they can survive this winter, maybe next year will be better. This year, they spent most of their time building the city. By next year, they can concentrate on developing the planting industry, and the food problem should not be too big. Difficult to solve.
Outside the tall and majestic hall, a snow-white mount flapped its powerful wings and flew towards this side with the wind and snow. The mount was none other than the snow-colored griffon. It had cut off the cards and elements. The restraint of energy can exist freely in this world. In this way, it also needs food to maintain life.
Because there was a long-term master-servant relationship with Tang Shi, the person who released the card and Yuan Neng for it was also Tang Shi. The relationship between one person and one beast was deep, so the snow-colored griffon did not leave, but continued to stay in Tang Shi. When around.
The snow-colored griffin landed at the main entrance of the hall. When the soldier guarding the door saw that the man wrapped in thick fur was Tang Shi, he immediately opened the heavy door of the hall for him. A heating ridge was dug under the hall, which provided sufficient heat. The hall is very warm, so the door to the hall is usually closed and will only be opened when someone comes.
The snow-colored griffon has spirituality. As soon as Tang Shi slid off its back, he walked to the stone house specially designed for the mount to stay. The stone house was very spacious and filled with hay. It was Yanxu's mount Red Winged Dragon. He followed Yanxu to work at a fixed time every day. When Yanxu entered the hall, the Red Winged Dragon came to its stone house to enjoy life. He could eat meat twice a day, and his life was much better than that of ordinary people.
When the Snowy Gryphon walked in with graceful steps, he happened to see two staff members carrying a large pot with raw meat in it, which was food prepared for the Red Winged Dragon.
Red Winged Dragons usually like to eat spotted beef meat the most. It is tender and chewy. This kind of meat is not only loved by Red Winged Dragons, it is also a rare delicacy on human dinner tables. It is also very nutritious and is better than beef from the old world. It tastes better and is more nutritious.
This winter, there are no people to eat, let alone the Red Winged Dragon, so it can only make do with some of the weaker mutated animals in the Luna Forest that were frozen to death. That animal was dragged by the Red Winged Dragon itself. He came back, but asked the staff to clean it before eating. Maybe he knew that his master was now noble and had a high status, and the Red Winged Dragon's self-positioning also became noble. He is his master's beloved pet and his master's mount. His status is certainly not ordinary, and he must be well-served by others. Such rough and heavy work is something that such a noble pet cannot do.
The proud red-winged dragon was holding its head high, waiting for food. Suddenly, it noticed a white shadow coming in from the door. Its eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole dragon became excited. It walked quickly over and wanted to get close. Unfortunately, the snow-colored griffon didn't show up at all. Ignoring it, he walked straight to the side of the haystack that had not been damaged by the red-winged dragon, bent his knees and placed his chin on his two front hooves. From this angle, he could just see the main entrance of the hall. As long as the owner came out, it would You can find it immediately.
The Red Winged Dragon has grown up a lot compared to when Yanxu first got it. It is strong and red all over. It is circling around the snow-colored griffon, but the snow-colored griffin ignores it at all. When there is no other way, , suddenly saw two staff members carrying food in. The Red Winged Dragon was refreshed and had an idea. He quickly walked over, took out a piece of meat from the pot, walked back quickly, and carefully delivered it to the snow-colored griffon. .
The two staff members were stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but laugh when they saw the Red Winged Dragon's actions.
The whole Xia City knew the attitude of the head of state towards Tang Shi, but they did not expect that their mounts would be the same. The red-winged dragon tried every means to please the snow-colored griffin, but the snow-colored griffon never gave it a serious look. But today, the snow-colored lion The eagle was more generous, staring at the red pterosaur with a pair of ruby red eyes for a while, then opened its mouth gracefully and ate the piece of raw meat.
The red-winged dragon's eyes suddenly shone, and he walked back quickly and took another piece of meat. The snow-colored griffon ate it again. Repeatedly, the red-winged dragon gave up his lunch to the snow-colored griffon very honestly.
In fact, if they have intelligent mounts like them, eating meat once a day is enough to maintain the nutrition they need. However, the red pterosaurs are growing taller and get hungry quickly. They must eat two meals a day to relieve their hunger. It's so long.
The snow-colored gryphon has grown up, and eating once a day is enough. However, it can't stand the silly big guy like Red Winged Dragon. He has to eat so much every day, and he doesn't even look at how many people in the city are still hungry. . So the Snowy Gryphon ate the Red Winged Dragon's lunch very unceremoniously, saving his own dinner.
The silly big red-winged dragon didn't realize that he was going to lose a lot of weight today. It had contributed its lunch and was pacing happily beside the snow-colored gryphon. Wanting to get close, it tentatively walked towards the snow-colored gryphon. The griffin leaned close to him, and the snow-colored griffin lay on the hay without moving.
The red-winged dragon thought it was interesting and leaned closer to him. The snow-colored griffon continued to show no response. The red-winged dragon felt relieved and bent down directly to the snow-colored griffon and looked at the main entrance of the hall with it.
The two mounts, one fiery red and the other pure white, were coiled on the hay in unison, looking at the main entrance of the hall. However, the Red Winged Dragon was less attentive, and its eyes would always slip from the main entrance to the snow-colored griffon next to it. On the body, such a scene, not to mention the two staff members, smiled and carried the empty pot and left, leaving the two mounts alone to cultivate feelings.
On the other side, Tang Shi strode into the palace, taking off the long-haired cloak wrapped around him as he walked. Seeing that he was coming, Yan Xu's frown finally relaxed.
"It's snowing outside, why did you come here by yourself?" Yanxu stood up and came over to greet him, taking the long-haired cloak in his hand.
"Have you found the energy stone?" They have been looking for this kind of stone. Naturally, they didn't know that "energy stone" existed in this world when they first arrived. If the system hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have known about it.
The system was successfully upgraded with Tang Shi's upgrade, but Tang Shi entered the Sanctuary Legend. The system itself was a "survival system." When the system was first launched, Tang Shi set the system to be a "doomsday survival system." ".
Now that the apocalypse no longer exists, the system has been upgraded to a new level and appears in an initialization state. Tang Shi had previous experience and successfully set the system back to the "Tianluo Continent Survival System". He originally wanted to take a look at the system What changes will happen? I didn't expect that the system would ask for the "energy stone" existing in this world to provide the system's energy needs without saying a word.
If there is systematic help, the current predicament should be able to be overcome safely, but they have never found the energy stone. Today's survival system is complete and fully functional. It is much more powerful than the apocalyptic survival system period. Unfortunately, there is no energy stone to supply its operation.
Yanxu sighed, "Not yet. The men Yanxing brought out haven't returned yet. It's up to him to see if there is any news."
"An old man froze to death in Beicheng last night, did you know?" Tang Shi passed by Beicheng in the morning and saw this with his own eyes. The family who lost their loved one cried so much that they couldn't stand up when they saw Tang Shi.
After experiencing the apocalypse, the final transfer and the catastrophe, there are really very few old people who can survive. Originally, this group of people should be the key targets of protection. Unexpectedly, the first snowfall just after winter, An old man actually froze to death. He survived the entire apocalypse, but unexpectedly died in the harsh winter of peacetime. How can such a thing not make people sad and not make the family collapse
This matter had not yet been reported to Yan Xu, but it was encountered by Tang Shi first.
After hearing the news, Yanxu was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision, "Instruct the families who are unable to support the elderly that Xia Cheng will provide them with clothing and food this winter."
"...Yes." Jin Jue looked at Tang Shi, as if seeking his opinion.
Tang Shi couldn't help but rub the center of his brows, and it was also very troublesome, "Do you want to use Xia City's food reserves to support the elderly?"
There are emergency foods in Xiacheng's reserve, which are the first-season grains harvested, as well as food, vegetables and fruits stored in various ways. The old man is old and frail, so Yanxu would rather use the reserves. We can't feed them enough food, but we can't watch them starve and freeze to death.
