After the busy farming in the cold season, the tribe held a big meeting, and managers from all departments were present to summarize and report on the farming, and plan the next work.
Since the tribe began to develop, Yang Yi often spent every day in various meetings.
In the past, I always felt that it was annoying for the company or the government to hold various meetings. It was not until I became a manager that I realized the importance of it.
However, Yang Yi also tries to avoid some meaningful and repetitive meetings. Each time the theme is clear, the participants must be prepared to improve efficiency.
"At present, the residents in the resettlement site and the residents in Hanoi plant the same amount of farmland, but the residents in the resettlement site are all reclaimed wasteland, and the farm tools are not as many as the residents in Hanoi. Overall, they are more enthusiastic about work than the residents in Hanoi, and they have exceeded the quota. Task."
Qing reported the overall farmland cultivation situation and affirmed the labor of the new residents in the resettlement site.
Now everyone uses the term residents to describe individuals, and the groups are roughly divided into resettlement sites and people inside the moat.
Because there are also managers and technicians arranged by the Xinghuo tribe in the resettlement site, and there are also Xinghuo reserve members in the moat, but the labor results are calculated according to the assigned area groups.
The new immigrants in the resettlement sites are still not regarded as Xinghuo people, and they do not have the special "green card" for Xinghuo people, so they cannot enjoy many benefits.
"How's the result of their work?" Yang Yi asked.
Qing also truthfully replied: "It's the first time for them to contact, and the tools are not so used to, relatively speaking, they are not that good, but they still meet the requirements."
With a large number of people, the Xinghuo tribe cannot supply so many agricultural tools, and some people still use stone tools.
As for the tool, the first priority is of course the Spark people, and those who have not officially entered the tribe have to wait in line.
"It seems that their attitude is very positive." Yang Yi is very satisfied with this.
Someone said proudly: "Who doesn't want to be a Spark person! Of course you have to work hard and perform well."
"However, don't squeeze it too much. It must be controlled within the range that the human body can bear, and the focus is on improving efficiency."
"Envoy of God, don't worry about this. We worked very hard during the big farming period, but it was only a short period of time, and now we have returned to a normal rhythm."
One of the person in charge of the resettlement site promised.
"Envoy of God, the efficiency of this large-scale cultivation is obviously higher than before." The person in charge of the farmland records was very proud.
Plowing and harvesting periods are very busy. Although many crops can be grown here in all seasons, if they can be planted according to the seasons of the original plant characteristics, the yield will be much higher than that of the off-season, and it will be easier to serve.
The residents of the resettlement point also want to prove that they are useful, and want to let the Xinghuo tribe see their value.
Therefore, everyone is very desperate, not only hands-on, but also actively thinking of ways to make it better and faster.
These people work so hard, and as Xinghuo people, they don't admit defeat. They also work very actively and seriously, and their efficiency is obviously much higher than before.
"It seems that healthy competition is still very beneficial." Yang Yi nodded, recording something with a pen.
At present, they all work together and eat from a big pot.
Although it will be distributed according to work, it still belongs to the collective operation mode.
Yang Yi knows very well from the past history that this kind of public ownership has certain benefits. When supplies are in short supply, reasonable macro-control can be carried out to protect most people from having food.
But if you want to activate it, make it more efficient, and give full play to everyone's talents, when it's time to separate, you still have to separate and implement private ownership.
It's not that everyone is lazy, it's just human nature.
Before, Qing felt that after several adjustments, she had mastered the amount of tasks that everyone could do within a reasonable time. Yang Yi smiled and said that this was not the point, and she still had doubts.
Now join the competition, which is more fierce than the competition between the groups.
After all, one party is not considered a Spark person, and this difference is still different.
Everyone's potential has been stimulated, and the efficiency is much higher than Qing and many people expected, which is really staggering.
So in the end, the amount of cultivation exceeded the original number. If it weren't for the fact that we could go to the Green Python tribe to collect manure and some humus, as well as find a lot of animal manure in the poultry and wasteland animal gathering places, the fertilizer would be really insufficient.
Now the new residents of the resettlement site also understood why the toilet was the first to be built in their place, and they were willing to exchange it with delicious and expensive brown sugar ginger tea.
Especially knowing that these fertilizers can make food and vegetables grow better, everyone's enthusiasm is higher.
After the general report on the farming work was completed and the heads of each department had a general understanding of the situation, Black Hunter began to assign the following tasks.
"Next, the heads of each workshop will start preparing to recruit new workers and start expanding the scale."
The black hunting eyes were full of excitement: "Our caravan has been sending good news, and our goods are not worried about having nowhere to take them."
The caravan led by Han Bing went smoothly. Although it was certainly not as easy as what he said in Fei Ge's biography, the transaction was still easy.
The name of the Xinghuo tribe has already been announced. Except for those remote small tribes, all the tribes along the way know the name of the Xinghuo tribe.
Regardless of whether they are poor or wealthy tribes, they are all very interested in the items produced by Xinghuo, and the transactions are relatively smooth.
And there was basically no trouble, no one dared to play with their goods.
After all, the Starfire Department dared to go far to attack the Blackstone tribe, and it was a crushing attack. Everyone would weigh their own weight.
Moreover, the armed force of the caravan is also very powerful, which makes people dare not covet it.
So Han Bing quickly exchanged the materials brought from the Starfire Tribe for other things they wanted, but they were not in a hurry to come back, and went to other places with the exchanged materials to continue the investigation and exchange.
After going through such a journey, Han Bing understands why there are so many caravans from the Western Continent traveling all the way to the Eastern Continent.
This business is really good! Don't worry about sales at all.
There are not many large tribes in the Eastern Continent, but there are countless scattered small tribes, and some tribes still live a very good life.
Some tribes are reluctant to trade away from the tribe, but are very interested in items from the outside world.
Someone raised his hand and asked, "Are people from the resettlement site also recruited?"
"Do a good job in the relevant tests, as long as they pass, they are equally qualified as Xinghuo people. It's just that they have to do a good job in the audit work, and the salary level is lower than that of Xinghuo people. You should prepare a plan and submit it to me and the angel for review according to the regulations. .”
Someone worried: "They are not from Xinghuo yet, what if they are spies? After learning our skills, no one will exchange with us later."
"I can guarantee that those who pass the review will have absolutely no problems!" the person in charge of the resettlement site said excitedly, not wanting to lose this opportunity.
"I dare not say that everyone is fine at the moment, but I can guarantee that they can get in!"
Some people are still very worried, and everyone is well aware of the importance of technology.
In the case of skyrocketing population, they still hold on. One of the important reasons is that they have enough good porcelain, fine wine, paper, etc. to exchange.
The person in charge of the Black Pottery Workshop shook his head: "It's not that easy to steal technology. In the beginning, they couldn't unlock the core technology, they could only do some miscellaneous work, and our black pottery doesn't burn all kinds of soil so well. .”
The people in charge of technology related also stated that they will do a good job of keeping secrets, and their work is not as simple as they think, and talents can still be selected from these people.
Some people still feel wrong, after all, they are not from Spark.
"It is our affirmation and trust that these people can stay here now, so we will give them corresponding opportunities to perform." Yang Yi expressed his opinion.
Black Hunter agreed: "Preparation work must be done, and appropriate affirmation must be given. Most of these people will be our tribe in the future."
At present, everyone is very satisfied with the performance of the new residents in the resettlement site, and the thorns have been cleared out, so they understand that these people are actually members of the Xinghuo tribe.
In the end, everyone passed this proposal, so that the smart newcomers in the resettlement point also have the opportunity to get in touch with jobs other than coolies.
Whether you can do it depends on whether you have that ability.
The recruitment exams for each department are designed by themselves, but they must pass the approval of Yang Yi and Hei Lie before they can pass.
The results of the test should also be made public, and a special supervisor should be set up. If anyone has any objection to the result of the test, they can go to the supervisor to report the situation.
The supervisor will investigate and review the results, and if it is indeed due to the examiner's bias or error, punishment will be imposed according to the severity of the circumstances to ensure the fairness of the examination.
Although many people don't think technical work is so easy, technical work, especially basic work, is also very hard.
If you want to climb up, you have to do all kinds of learning. If you don't even know a few words, unless there are special circumstances, it will be difficult to survive.
For most people who have been running wildly in the jungle and on the grass for a long time, this kind of technical work is not necessarily easier than digging and digging, and using their brains is much more difficult than physical labor.
At present, there is no distinction between high and low in every job for everyone.
But with the development of the tribe, this scene may not necessarily be the same in the future. It is necessary to make some preparations in advance to prevent cheating and maintain fairness.
At the end of the meeting, Jiao proposed his own motion.
"I think the territory inside the moat can be called a 'city', and we should give it a name."
After the cold season, people began to join tribes one after another.
Although it is not as exaggerated as before, I am afraid that this phenomenon will not be less in the future.
The strength and wealth of the Xinghuo tribe attracted people from many places. In particular, many places were hit by natural disasters last year, so they had to leave their original places of residence and find new places to survive.
The Xinghuo tribe's reputation for being friendly to outsiders has already been established, and its strength is obvious to all, so it will attract many people and weak tribes.
This winter, everyone is full of food and drink, and the number of pregnant women has also increased significantly.
At present, there are thousands of pregnant women in the tribe, which is an astonishing number.
In particular, most of the people who can come here are young and middle-aged people. They no longer need to carry out dangerous hunting work and live in a safe place, so the death rate is greatly reduced.
Most people like to reproduce, and the women here will not worry about having children, which will affect their careers.
It is also relatively easy to raise children, most of them are free-range, and with the subsidy of the tribe, the cost of raising children is very low.
In this way, the population will increase. According to such data, they will rebuild the city in a few years.
Moreover, the establishment of the concept of the city is different from other tribes in the Eastern Continent, and it is even more magnificent.
Jiao thinks farther than others, so it is not surprising to have such a proposal.
In fact, Yang Yi also had this plan in mind, but he was overwhelmed by too many things, and felt that this matter was not that important, so he never remembered to bring it up.
"Just call it Spark City." Someone suggested.
"Xinghuo Tribe is the entire territory, and this city is only a part. You call it like this, as if we only have such a small area, and the outside of the city is also ours!"
Everyone debated for a long time, but there was no result. Everyone gave up their names, and they all gave weird names.
What tiger head city, what duck city and so on.
Hei Lie saw that they couldn't escape, so he said, "This is a city built by the envoy of God, and the right to name it should be given to him."
"That's right! The envoy is also more educated, so he should come!"
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and glared at Hei Lie angrily. He is a waste of a name, and the Xinghuo Tribe only remembered it after racking their brains.
He hadn't discussed such a big matter with him before, but suddenly, he didn't even have time to look through ancient books in the dictionary.
Yang Yi began to doubt such a big matter now, Jiao had come up with it on a whim, probably he had discussed it with Black Hunter before.
"I think this city is called Yicheng. It's a good choice. What do you think?" Hei Lie hurriedly added this sentence.
Others also echoed: "That's a good name! This city was built by the envoy, and the envoy's name is the most appropriate!"
"Xinghuo Yicheng, sounds very impressive!"
"It is a very easy city to build for us, and we can build even better cities!"
Everyone echoed and stood up to applaud.
This posture is clearly undeniable.
Hei Lie looked at him with a smile, and Yang Yi understood that Hei Lie wanted his children and grandchildren to remember his achievements, and it was the greatest affirmation of everything he had done.
"Okay, that's the name."
After the meeting adjourned, Yang Yi gave Hei Lie an angry look, and said with certainty:
"It must have been premeditated."
Hei Lie smiled without denying it: "I think this is the biggest motivation for you to work hard for so long, but if you really want to name yourself, you definitely won't use your own name."
Yang Yi laughed, indeed.
Although his contribution is quite great, bringing more advanced technology, tools, etc., it always feels weird to propose to use his own name.
"thanks."
Hei Lie put his arms around his shoulders, his eyes were bright as if he could speak:
"You deserve it, but if you want to thank me, I won't refuse."
Yang Yi calmly took his arm away, took out the folder, and turned to a blank page:
"Come on, let's discuss. After the moat is built, should the city wall start?"
Hei Lie looked disappointed, but quickly adjusted his mood, pulled a chair and sat beside Yang Yi, thinking about this issue seriously.
"Safety is the first priority. Now that the big cultivation has passed, the task is not so heavy and urgent. It is time to start thinking about building the city wall."
Yang Yi frowned slightly: "But we are still in the stage of food shortage. Building the city wall is a huge project, and the canal is still being dug on the other side. Such a large project may put a lot of pressure on the tribe."
Being able to build a city wall will of course improve the safety factor. Although they already have a moat with ferocious beasts like crocodiles in it, it doesn't mean they are safe.
Now, although the Xinghuo tribe is very powerful and has a large number of people, they will not be easily provoked by a handful of people, but it does not mean that they can be at ease.
They have too many coveted things, and they have moved the interests of the Western Continent.
The biggest loss at the trade fair was actually the Western Continent, and it was okay so far, because there were not so many participating tribes.
But when the influence of the Starfire Tribe grows, it will attract more and more tribes to come here, and they are unwilling to exchange expensive materials with the Western Continent for fine wine, porcelain, black pottery, etc.
In addition, the Xinghuo Tribe has also begun to form its own caravan. According to Han Bing's feedback, the scale of their caravan can only be expanded, not reduced.
In this way, the interests of the Western Continent will be further damaged.
Although the East Continent has constant internal conflicts, it still prefers to trade with the people of the East Continent compared to trading with the people of the West Continent, not to mention that the things from the Starfire Tribe are much better and cheaper.
On the surface, the Western Continent is hello and I am good, which violates their interests. It is hard to say whether they will tolerate the Xinghuo tribe in the future.
It's just that the construction of the city wall is a very large project. To be able to resist outsiders, the city wall must not only be high but also thick, which is a severe test for manpower and material resources.
"Nothing is more important than safety. Even if you are hungry, you have to think about this issue first. This is near the wasteland. We were lucky to not encounter a beast horde last year, but no one knows what will happen next time."
Black Hunter expressed his worries. In fact, he was never worried that they would starve to death. The nearby resources were abundant, but he just said that life was good or bad.
His biggest concern is always safety.
When he resolutely left the Blackstone Tribe, he had a premonition that it was not safe, so he let go and left very simply.
"Last year, various natural disasters appeared in many places. According to previous experience, the beast tide is likely to come."
Yang Yi's heart trembled. The animals here were extremely terrifying. If there were really beast hordes, the power of human beings would become very small.
"Will there be one this year? Even if we concentrate our efforts on building the city wall, we won't be able to complete it."
"Don't be too nervous, just be prepared."
Yang Yi rubbed his temples: "I hope we have better luck."
"Whether there will be or not, security issues must be prepared for a rainy day. In your former country, history does not prove the importance and necessity of this."
Yang Yi laughed, knowing that Black Hunter was talking about decades ago when the motherland was in extreme poverty and was still vigorously developing its military. At that time, many people criticized it, but it turns out that this is very important, and it is about the right to speak.
Including other aspects, some things absolutely cannot wait.
Yang Yi was amazed at Hei Lie's learning speed and hard work. This guy is very smart. He has learned a lot of characters in just one year, and he can read various documents very smoothly. Now he can learn and use them flexibly.
It is inconvenient for Yang Yi to give some information to others, so it doesn't matter to Black Hunter.
Yang Yi also wants someone to know the culture of his world here, and ordinary knowledge imparting is not enough, so he also read some historical books for Hei Lie, most of which are Chinese history.
This has a very good effect on cultivating the black hunters to have a farther and wider perspective, or to bring each other closer.
Hei Lie is also very active, and he has a very good memory. Now Yang Yi sometimes can't answer his questions, and he doesn't know what dynasty that person is from.
What's wrong with this, he is a Chinese who has grown up for more than 20 years, but his historical knowledge is surpassed by a primitive person, which is really a shame.
Therefore, it also inspired Yang Yi to keep learning and enrich his knowledge.
"You're right, it's just that this matter needs to be well planned." Yang Yi tapped the paper with the end of his pen and sighed.
The canal cannot be stopped because it has to do with water use.
Manpower must be guaranteed on the farmland, and food is also the top priority.
The workshop is relatively better, but at most it doesn't send too many new members, and it is impossible to draw from it.
They are already very busy and are still in short supply. In exchange for more supplies, many people from the Starfire tribe did not own many commodities.
However, those are generally more expensive and difficult to produce. They are more for viewing and representing the value of identity, not for practicality.
"Don't worry so much, we have enough manpower now."
"It's a lot to think about, but it's really the same thing. There are still many people in the city who don't live in spacious and comfortable houses."
"We have lived in caves, animal skins, and thatched huts for so long, so what if we wait a little longer? Besides, the mud thatched huts we lived in are much better than before, so there is nothing to complain about. If life is gone, it will be built. There is no house to live in."
"That's true."
"There is nothing wrong with letting everyone feel a little bit of change and progress. This is more hopeful and easier to have a sense of joy."
Black Hunter is very open-minded, and doesn't think there is anything wrong with improving the quality of life a little slower than before.
Their current life has made many people envious, and they must enter the stage of property protection.
Defeating the Blackstone tribe did not make Black Hunter take it lightly, but became more vigilant.
The former overlord was defeated so easily, and no one knew what their fate would be.
Maybe there is a tribe like them, blessed by the gods, becoming strong in an instant, and everything is possible.
"Since the construction of the city wall has begun, it must be hard enough to truly resist foreign enemies. In addition to natural cement, we can also add glutinous rice. Now we have a lot of glutinous rice, which can be optimally deployed to build the hardest Mud wall."
The tribe had already borrowed the method of the ancient city wall before, using glutinous rice and natural cement here to make a mud wall harder than stone, but later the cost was too high, and natural cement was added. The formula was adjusted later, and it was not widely used, or Not a huge amount to use, not the sturdiest blend.
Hei Lie regretted: "It seems that we won't be able to eat glutinous rice balls often in the future."
