Since Black Hunter captured the first bamboo rat, everyone has seen this little thing in the bamboo forest one after another.
In the past, I couldn't find it no matter how hard I searched, but now suddenly it's like mushrooms after a spring rain, and all the little ones have popped up, and there are quite a few of them scurrying around.
Black Hunter has formed a special team to catch these little things. The team members are all half-grown children, just to train their hunting ability.
Although the fighting power of these bamboo rats is very average, as long as you pay a little attention, they will not be killed by them. Although their teeth are very sharp, compared to humans, they are still crushed.
However, they are very dexterous and drill around very fast, and it is not easy to capture them.
Allowing half-grown children to catch them can also train their sensitivity, and they can also bring these small things back to breed in order to obtain more food.
The food for bamboo rats is very easy to obtain. After several years of planting, their tribe already has a large bamboo forest.
By next year, you can start using bamboo shoots as food.
This group of children did not disappoint Black Hunter either. They captured thousands of bamboo rats in just a few days, many of which were just born in litters.
As long as they are properly raised, they can become part of the tribal food just like raising poultry in the future.
Black Hunter and Yang Yi roasted one last time, and it tasted very good. And they are as fertile as rabbits, and there are more than a dozen in one litter.
They are not too big, as long as the walls are built higher, they will not be able to escape, and they have strong vitality, which is very suitable for breeding.
Now the Xinghuo Tribe has a large number of livestock in these years of transactions, mainly cattle, pigs, sheep, rabbits, and donkeys. Among them, cattle and donkeys are used for work, while rabbits, pigs, and sheep are used to feed meat.
The number of pigs and sheep is more than tens of thousands, most of which are the result of exchange, otherwise it would not be possible to grow so fast just by the speed of reproduction.
In addition, at the trade fair, the Starfire Tribe will exchange ceramics and other items for more dried meat and other food. Even if they don't go hunting now, they can still guarantee that everyone will be able to eat meat every other day.
If you don't consider grain reserves, you can eat meat every day.
However, the Xinghuo tribe will still not lose the tradition of hunting. Even if someone is injured or even dies every time they hunt, this skill must not be lost.
Now the Xinghuo tribe stipulates that each tribe member, unless they are born sick or disabled, must hunt a total of 200 kilograms of prey by themselves before reaching adulthood at the age of fifteen.
If you can't do it, it means that you can't pass the coming-of-age ceremony, you can't get many benefits of the tribe, and the types of jobs you can choose are also limited.
These overbearing terms were negotiated and negotiated by the natives of Xinghuo. The development of the Xinghuo tribe has made some people a little lax in their thinking, and they are not keen on improving their own force value.
After all, this is a very hard job. When everyone has the opportunity to be lazy, some people will indeed choose to do so.
The current situation is actually not serious. After all, the tribe has just become rich, and it is not yet time for everyone to enjoy it.
But the signs had already appeared, so before Hei Lie proposed, the elders in the tribe jointly put forward their opinions with Hei Lie, thinking that this would not work.
They still have the idea that the strong are respected, and this kind of strong is also a relatively narrow concept of high force value.
I am afraid that after everyone engages in some production, they will forget the importance of force. This is not a good sign for the entire tribe.
Although the Xinghuo Tribe has always had very strict military training, it's all for now. After a long time, there will always be people who get used to safety and slack off.
What measures must be taken so that everyone always understands the importance of force.
Therefore, Hei Lie discussed with everyone and finally formulated such a rigid rule and engraved it on the stone tablet.
Yang Yi didn't have any objection to this, nor did he specifically participate in it. Everything was formulated by local people according to the situation here.
"Envoy, more than 4,000 people have come to the new resettlement site, and people from the tribe who just migrated here are also inquiring about the situation of the new resettlement site, asking if our Xinghuo tribe is going to build a new city."
Sakura reported to the work as expected, and there is no official city built there, so it is called the new resettlement site on official occasions, and the new city in private.
Yang Yi raised his eyes: "The news about those tribes is really well-informed."
"Everyone is staring at our tribe. Before, we obviously didn't want to accept newcomers, so they just stationed nearby, hoping to get blessings, and it was also for convenience. Now when there is news that a new city will be built, we can't wait any longer. Now, everyone knows that the sooner you join the benefits, the better."
When Sakura said this, she was full of pride, which is an emotion shared by every Xinghuo person.
Yang Yi and Hei Lie wanted to protect the interests of the old members. After all, most of the new members were defectors.
Food, clothing, tools, etc. are all in short supply. Although the joining of newcomers is of great benefit to the future development, at that time it is part of the interests of the old members.
Therefore, the treatment of old and new members is different, just like in a company, old members will earn more than new members because of the annual fixed salary increase.
Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the new members have sufficient abilities and can be exchanged for more benefits.
And if the old members are negligent in doing things, or have limited abilities, then the rewards will be different.
This kind of difference is quickly accepted by everyone, because it is not egalitarian in the entire Eastern Continent, and there will be differences according to their own abilities.
It's just that the simple difference in force between warriors and ordinary people is now expanded. As long as you have other skills, you can create more value and get more.
This kind of situation is bound to happen. The earth has not yet reached the stage of corruption, let alone here, which is even more backward.
What Yang Yi wants to ensure is to ensure the basic supply of the people at the bottom, and not let everyone starve to death or freeze to death. But if you want to live a better life, you need your own efforts.
At the same time, this is also to let the outsiders understand that as long as they are loyal to the Xinghuo tribe, the longer the time, the more they will get.
Whether internally or externally, it is the same.
So now when they heard that a new city was going to be built, the tribe that didn't plan to join them was also moved.
Some migrating tribes are not bad in their own strength, but they migrate for various reasons.
Although this situation is not common, there are still some tribes in the Eastern Continent. Where the food is not as rich as before, they will leave that place.
Just like a shepherd on the prairie, he doesn't stay in one place all the time.
Yicheng is already a relatively mature city, and all positions have a fixed framework, which will not be easily changed.
But the new city is different. There is nothing now. If they go there, they will be the builders, and they will be like the early Xinghuo people in the future.
You can live in a beautiful house at the earliest, and you can get more food, daily necessities, etc. than the newcomers, and they are added to the management.
"These people are very knowledgeable about current affairs." Yang Yi said with a smile, "If they want to join, they can go to Jing along the road, and they can be stationed there as long as they meet the conditions."
While digging the canal, a road was built beside it, which was used to make it easier to go deep into the wasteland.
Now the address of the new town is near that road, which is also convenient for traveling between cities.
"If those tribes join, the new city will soon reach 10,000 people."
"This speed is really amazing." Yang Yi sighed.
Sakura said with certainty: "The news hasn't spread very far yet, and there will only be more when everyone knows."
"I didn't expect so many people to leave their homes." Yang Yi sighed.
Sakura thought it was a matter of course: "Our tribe is so good, of course everyone wants to come!"
"What's the news from Jing?"
"Everything is going well so far. Jing has taken away many elites from various departments and has experience in Yicheng. Everything is arranged in an orderly manner and there are no problems that cannot be solved."
Yang Yi nodded, he still trusts Jing and Rong very much, they have the ability to handle everything well.
Not to mention that Jing is a calm mind, Rong looks carefree, but in fact he knows it very well, otherwise he would not be able to lead the team to hunt.
Rong's team has always been a tough existence, not only because of their strong individuals, but also because of the ability of their leaders.
The situation in the new city will be reported every day by a special person riding the fastest ostrich, so that the two cities can understand each other's situation.
Ostriches are fast, so it only takes half a day to arrive.
"Some people really deserve to be poor." Yang Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the report, and handed it to Hei Lie beside him.
Hei Lie took it over and snorted: "Such a person should have fed it to the crocodile long ago."
The crocodile in the moat is a tough existence, and now the tribe likes to throw you to feed the crocodile when they say threats.
The situation encountered in Xincheng is obviously more complicated than that in Yicheng. Most of the people who defected to Yicheng at the beginning came because they could not survive and had no choice.
After all, the Xinghuo tribe at that time was just a new tribe. Although it sounded good, everyone was skeptical about it.
Therefore, those who come here are those who have no other way to take risks, and the sense of urgency to live is deeper, and to a certain extent, they are more obedient.
What's more, Yicheng also has Yang Yi, a mysterious emissary, and a top master who is so overwhelming that people can't breathe, and they are very clever.
The situation in Jingna is completely different. The Xinghuo tribe is now a very well-known and wealthy tribe with a good reputation.
Many tribes migrated to seek refuge, not necessarily because they couldn't survive, but because they were going to a higher place.
Therefore, compared with the people who went to prevent themselves from starving to death before, they had more thoughts, and all kinds of people came.
Jing is disabled. Although his combat power is very strong, he is already a fourth-level fighter, but compared to the number one master in the Eastern Continent like Black Hunter, he is still a lot worse.
The same is true for Velvet. He is a powerful fighter, but there are also some tribes with equal strength. Compared with Yang Yi and Black Hunter, his prestige is definitely incomparable, and he is prone to encounter many strange situations.
"Jing didn't say a word about these things, and thought everything was going well."
Hei Lie was not surprised: "It's just a little thing, he can't even handle it, so hurry up and take care of the child."
"These people are convinced that they even ate the seeds. Fortunately, they haven't been allowed to start breeding, otherwise they must have been eaten."
Yang Yi shook his head, this situation has been seen in the news before.
Going to the countryside to help the poor, the government distributed seeds and piglets, but they were eaten directly, and they were unwilling to plant and raise them.
I didn't expect to see it in this place now, it is indeed a different world, the same human beings.
"It's just a temptation."
Yang Yi raised his eyes: "You mean..."
"The people from Xincheng are more complicated. Many of them are complete tribes, and their strength is not bad. This means that there are chiefs, priests, etc. among them. Not everyone is willing to give up their power."
"Why do you want to merge if you don't want to?" Yang Yi was very speechless, isn't it because he is against himself.
Behind the new city is the Xinghuo tribe. Although they have a high degree of autonomy, they are still part of the Xinghuo tribe.
There needs to be self-sufficiency, but the Starfire Tribe will also give a lot of help.
If it wasn't for control, who would spend so much effort.
Hei Lie laughed and said nothing.
Of course, Yang Yi also understood what these people were thinking, but he was very disgusted that he didn't have enough food, so he started to engage in these messy struggles.
During this period of time, Jing was in full charge of Xincheng, and neither Hei Lie nor Yang Yi intervened.
No matter how many people and items Jing and Rong took away, they used those for construction, and the Xinghuo tribe did not provide anything else.
The only point of intersection is that they will send some people to dig aqueducts, which is also to prepare for their water use.
The Starfire tribe does not provide them with compensation, because they must participate if they want to have enough water.
Probably everyone has tasted this delicate relationship and wants to get a share.
Eating the seeds is a kind of temptation, wanting to know what kind of person the leader Jing is.
"Those who ate the seeds are also stupid." Yang Yi could only sigh in the end.
These people have committed a big taboo, and they will be punished very severely in the Xinghuo tribe.
If it is serious, it will be killed directly, and if it is light, it will be driven out of the tribe directly.
The seeds cannot be eaten under any circumstances, which is the continuation of hope.
Fortunately, they stepped on a big thunder when they came. Fortunately, there were not many of them, otherwise Yang Yi would be heartbroken to death.
The cultivation of seeds is not easy, because the earliest source of seeds comes from shopping malls.
The seeds in the mall will gradually degenerate, and currently only half of the initial output, the decline is very large.
But even so, production is still weakening.
It's just that a group of people with plant talents like Qing, through their own learning and talents, work hard to keep the seeds at the current stage.
This is not just about science. After all, the current level of knowledge is not enough to use science to be an earth expert.
They rely more on their innate skills to maintain the production of seeds, which also leads to a small number of high-quality seeds.
In order to better guarantee the construction of the new city and ensure a bumper harvest before the cold season, the food pressure in the new city will not be so great. The seeds they gave to the past are all top-notch, and Yicheng is not that good.
As a result, these people actually ate the seeds!
If it weren't for the collective breeding of poultry and livestock, they would definitely be ruined now.
Unlike the Xinghuo tribe, the land planting in Xincheng is not done by everyone working together, and all the food is collected in the public.
Instead, each person will be assigned some fields, which they will cultivate and plant by themselves as a family or in a group. Jing is responsible for providing seeds, technology and even tools.
When harvesting, 30% of the grain must be paid as tax in order to build a new city.
These lands do not belong to the assignees, they only have the right to use them, not the right to possess them.
Therefore, it cannot be traded, nor can it be used to plant other things privately, and can only be labored according to requirements.
During the harvest, those with the highest harvest will receive corresponding rewards, and those who fail to pay taxes for more than three times will have their land taken back and arranged for other work.
If it is because of personal attitude, such a lazy person will probably be expelled.
These rules were all negotiated and formulated by Yang Yi, Hei Lie, and Jing before, and this was also to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.
Compared with letting everyone work collectively, this wave of newcomers will be more suitable for this method.
In fact, in Yicheng, as the population increases and the personnel become more and more complicated, there will be some lazy people.
It's just not obvious at the moment, but the gradual formation of this trend also means that this model may start to change.
Yang Yi and Hei Lie had already expected that such a day would come, and the germ of this kind of private ownership had been manifested before, but it was covered up by the title of respecting the strong.
But Yang Yi didn't expect to come so soon, after all, most of the people Yang Yi came into contact with were so diligent that he was ashamed.
They cherish everything in front of them very much, so they try their best to complete their work without supervision at all, which makes them very moved.
Xincheng's side is also a pilot project. If it is successfully implemented, Yicheng's side will soon do the same.
Planned production with a huge population base is indeed prone to many problems, and it also puts great pressure on their administrative capabilities.
No matter who the entire tribe is, they have never managed such a large group.
In the Western Continent, there are very few such big cities.
"Building a city always requires such a process." Black Hunter was very calm.
During the establishment of Yicheng, many people were killed.
The deterrence of force is very necessary here.
"These people are just being used as gunmen, and the people behind them can't let go." Yang Yi tapped the document with his fingers.
"Jing will take care of all this, and he will not let go of the opportunity to stand up."
Just as Black Hunter had guessed, Jing used this incident to rectify the entire new city. His methods were extremely harsh, completely different from the gentle attitude on the surface.
It didn't take long for someone to sue Yang Yi, not Black Lie.
"Looking for me?" Yang Yi raised his eyebrows.
Sakura's face was serious: "Yes, he asked to see God Envoy you to tell their grievances, and hope God Envoy you to make the decision for them."
Yang Yi smiled: "It seems that their news is still very well-informed."
It was five or six days ago that Jing Da cleared up, and he only came here now, and it happened to be when Hei Lie was not in the tribe, so the timing was very delicate.
"Envoy, do you want to meet?"
Yang Yi paused: "Then let him go to the main hall."
Now when Yang Yi meets outsiders who cannot be completely trusted, he will usually go to the hall on the first floor.
This will not only make him more imposing, but also keep him farther away from the interviewers, ensuring his safety.
Especially when Black Hunter is not around, this method must be adopted.
The entire tribe attaches the most importance to Yang Yi's life and safety. Even if the tribe no longer has a few supplies brought by Yang Yi, the books have been copied down.
But everyone has no intention of killing the donkey. Apart from the black hunting relationship, Yang Yi has still established himself in the tribe in recent years.
Although everything relied on the golden finger given by the great god of time travel, he was still able to stabilize after losing it, making the last worry in his heart gradually disappear.
Everyone still regards him as the messenger of God and the supreme existence, so they are very concerned about his safety.
Yang Yi put on a silk robe specially customized for him to meet guests. The style is close to the ancient Chinese clothing. Yang Yi didn't have much research on the specific dynasty.
In short, the inside is cross-neck and wide-sleeved long-distance running, and the outside is a floor-sweeping cardigan, white silk with dark patterns, and very delicate embroidery on the side.
Every movement is very elegant, and only Yang Yi is qualified to wear this suit, and no one else can have it.
Even the cumbersome design of mopping the floor is not allowed. This is also to avoid wasting fabrics by everyone following suit.
"Great envoy, I finally see you, please save us."
When the visitor saw Yang Yi, he started crying.
Yang Yi was slightly startled when he saw this scene. To be honest, when he came to this world, he rarely saw such a love of acting.
People here are very straightforward and don't like to do this.
People in the Western Continent are cunning and not so good at acting.
"Are you from the new settlement?"
"Yes, we are almost unable to survive there. God has made you so kind. You must not want to see your people suffer. I beg you to save us."
The visitor was accompanied by a few injured people, who looked miserable, and they all cried together, with snot and tears.
"Did you come here without telling your new leader?"
"Yes, they don't want God to make you know what happened over there, so we can only run here by ourselves."
Yang Yi nodded: "So you want me to go and uphold justice for you? It's best to replace the leader?"
"Can this be done?!" The visitor was pleasantly surprised.
Yang Yi laughed: "Of course not."
"Envoy of God..." The visitor's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Sending Jing to manage the new resettlement site and help you rebuild your home is a joint decision made by me and Chief Starfire Black Hunter. Are you questioning our choice?"
"We didn't mean that, the leader didn't obey what God told you..."
"I authorized him on behalf of God, everything he does is God's will, understand?"
The visitor was not reconciled: "God envoy, you are so kind, don't you want to see so many people suffer?"
"Those who violate the rules should suffer."
Yang Yi stood up from the high chair, with sharp eyes, and spoke forcefully:
"Jing is the leader I appointed. He is the highest leader in the new resettlement site. If anyone dares to violate the rules of the Starfire Tribe, then don't blame us for punishing them according to the rules of the Starfire Tribe!"
