Travel to a Primitive World to Build Infrastructure

Chapter 78

Views:

The population of the Xinghuo tribe has exploded, which is a result that Yang Yi could not have expected before.

In such a short period of time, so many people were summoned. A few months ago, I thought it was a fantasy.

In Yang Yi's shallow historical knowledge, it seems that it is difficult to achieve this with the current productivity.

Although the surge in population has brought great pressure to the tribe and made the originally abundant food insufficient, it has not affected the normal operation of the tribe.

This has a lot to do with the active training of talents during this period of time. They were quickly in place and quickly stabilized the situation.

The most important thing is that the place where they live is very rich in material resources.

The endless wasteland is full of food, as long as you have enough combat power, you are not afraid of being hungry.

However, due to the exponential increase in population, there are still many problems that need to be continuously improved.

Almost every night, Yang Yi would hold a meeting, allowing managers to report and discuss problems in their respective fields, and then resolve them.

At present, all Yang Yi's new industry plans are temporarily suspended, and all attention is placed on the management and arrangement of new personnel.

Yang Yi and Hei Lie came to the meeting room according to the time, and there were already many people in the meeting room, congratulating the novice father Jing one after another.

Rong successfully gave birth to a baby girl two days ago, with a particularly loud voice, stronger than any newborn baby.

When she was born, the voice resounded through the sky, as if she was afraid that everyone would not know that she had come to this world.

At such a young age, she could already see that she should be very talented in voice.

"Jing, congratulations!" Yang Yi also stepped forward to congratulate you.

When everyone saw Yang Yi and Hei Lie, they all made way for Yang Yi to take the lead.

Jing quickly stood up from the chair, with a bright smile on his face, and handed over a small bag made of grass:

"Envoy, eat candy!"

Yang Yi previously stipulated that as long as there is a newborn in the tribe, the tribe will distribute a lot of candy to the parents of the newborn, and ask them to distribute it to those who celebrate it.

Let everyone be happy and welcome the arrival of the newborn.

For the development of a tribe, children are the most critical reserve army.

These candies are all squeezed and made from sugarcane in the tribal sugar workshop. The person in charge of the sugar workshop volunteered to take charge of the work of the sugar workshop.

He was one of the first group of people that Yang Yi met, and he never forgot the rock candy that Yang Yi gave out before. After he was basically literate, he started to read books on how to make rock candy, and he was very confident that he could take charge of the sugar shop.

The fact is indeed the case. The sugar workshop can now produce very high-quality rock sugar, which is much more crystal clear and sweeter than what Yang Yi brought.

At present, in addition to making the most basic brown sugar bricks in the sugar factory, this kind of rock sugar is very popular.

The Green Python Tribe brought back quite a few, and they had already scheduled the next big harvest to be more than this time.

Sugar has become another hard commodity for trading. During this period, scattered tribes came to trade and were all sought after. The high price is also very willing to exchange, bringing greater benefits to the tribe.

Yang Yi happily took it, and ate a piece on the spot:

"How is the situation of Rong and the child? Didn't I give you three days off, why did you come here?"

Tribal mothers give birth, not only to the mothers, but also to the father of the child or the man who is willing to take care of the child, so that it is convenient to take care of the mother and the newborn.

However, the holidays given are not many, and Yang Yi has managed to win just three days.

Not to mention the father of the child here, even the mother starts working after giving birth, and there is no such thing as vacation.

Even parents have to work harder than before in order to raise their children.

"An envoy, Rong asked me to tell you that if she is not allowed to work, she will suffocate to death." Jing said helplessly.

Rong is not a person who can sit idle, and when he was about to go into labor, he was still there training recruits.

Still, an experienced old man saw that something was wrong with her, so he dragged her to the delivery room, and gave birth as soon as she entered.

She was in the late pregnancy, Black Hunter arranged for her to train recruits, otherwise she couldn't bear it at all.

Just after giving birth, Rong was about to go to the ground and wanted to go back to the team, but was forced to be pressed on the bed by Xie, who is now the director of the hospital.

Velvet's body is indeed good, but childbirth still brings damage to the body. If it is not well maintained, the disadvantages will be very obvious in the future.

Therefore, Yang Yi directly stipulated that the mother should rest immediately after giving birth, and even if she just returned to work, she could not perform high-intensity work immediately.

Most of the people here don't pay attention to maintenance, so they can't understand this, but they also know that Yang Yi is also thinking about them, and it's really rather empty just after giving birth, so he obediently obeyed.

Few people are as restless as Rong.

"You can't joke about your body. If she wants to work, assign her some less tiring tasks." Yang Yi looked at Hei Lie.

Yang Yi knew Rong's character, and the mother's mood was still the most important thing, if she really made her do nothing, if she was in a bad mood, her body would be damaged.

Hei Lie nodded: "Rong's cultural class has always been very bad, so I just took advantage of this time to learn more."

"..."

Yang Yi simply felt that Hei Lie and Rong had an enmity.

However, this topic did not continue. This meeting was held to discuss some current problems of the tribe, and the focus was on food.

"Currently, the orcs can already obtain food through hunting, and with the distribution from the tribe, they can basically meet their needs," said the Minister of Finance.

Orcs are also barbarians. The title of barbarians has a strong sense of discrimination, so they are all called orcs.

Although the tribe has just had a bumper harvest, the poultry has gradually begun to lay eggs, and the males have begun to eat meat, but at present, planting and breeding alone cannot meet the needs of so many people.

After all, all of this takes time. There were too few people before, and the amount that can be produced is also limited.

The output here is high, and the meat is produced quickly, but the local people also eat a lot.

Huwen, the representative of the orc clan, also said, "With the weapons issued by the tribe and everyone's cooperation, it is easy for us to hunt now! We can support ourselves!"

After the orcs have undergone military training, most of them have found weapons that suit them, and they can use them more and more flexibly.

Compared with relying on hand-to-hand combat in the past, hunting is much more efficient.

Restriction has enough salt again, and their demand for food is much less than before.

And with cooked food, the orcs who used to have the talent of carnivorous animals can also eat staple foods such as rice and potatoes soaked or boiled in broth, which not only enriches the recipes but also makes it easier to fill their stomachs.

"The fighting power of the orc race is very strong." Black Hunter affirmed.

The orc people are good at using force, they are not very good at using traps and other methods, and their ability to cooperate with each other is not as strong as the people of the Eastern Continent.

It's okay for a group with the talent to gather animals, but it's limited to its own group, and it's not known how different groups can use each other's strengths and weaknesses to cooperate.

But it’s different now. They came to the Xinghuo Tribe, not only possessing the first-class weapons in the entire Eastern Continent, but also learning how to make traps, etc., and there are special people to arrange and cooperate according to their respective characteristics.

In addition, there are groups of prey in the wilderness, unlike in the woods, those animals are hidden and difficult to find, and it is not easy to catch them once they escape.

At present, because the cooperation time is still short, we still need to continue to run in, but we still see remarkable results.

"The group of people who are new to the tribe, currently the main food is what they had originally, and the supplies of the tribe. Some people are not acclimated to the environment and are still adjusting, but they will soon be able to start hunting." Jing said.

Most of the people brought back by Jing live in relatively dry areas, where it is relatively humid and need to adapt to the environment.

Moreover, they are even more destitute than the orcs. They are poor and white because they can't survive, so they grasp this last hope and follow them.

It's just that there are some more tools than the orcs, but those in the Xinghuo tribe are nothing.

The journey is very long, and the body has reached its limit.

"How is their food?" Yang Yi asked.

The principle of tribal distribution is not calculated according to population, which is unfair to those who have previously contributed to the tribe.

Moreover, as soon as the newcomers come, they divide up their income and make themselves hungry, which will also cause the original tribesmen to reject the new tribesmen.

Therefore, at present, we continue to ensure the stability of food for the former tribesmen, and then use the stored food to distribute it to later generations.

Now there are ten canteens in the tribe, the first and second canteens are for old members and green python tribe members, and the other canteens are for orcs and newcomers who just arrived two days ago.

The orcs have been here for a while and have passed the military training assessment, so the food is more abundant than the newcomers.

If you go to the Xinghuo tribe, what you originally owned, unless it is a contraband, is still for your own use, and the tribe will not take it away.

As for whether they can get the distribution of the tribe, it depends on whether each person has passed the assessment and contributed.

"It's in a state of shortage, but it's already very good compared to before." Jing thought of the places he had been, and sighed deeply.

"The place where these people lived before was so horrible that even water was hard to find."

Jing used to live in the Black Stone Tribe, and he was a strong man, so he has been living a good life.

It was a bit bleak in the middle, but soon I entered the Xinghuo tribe again, and I didn't have such a deep concept of poverty.

This trip made him feel how lucky he is, and he missed the tribe even more.

"It wasn't like that there before." Yehuo couldn't help but said, "Although the water is not as much as here, there is still a small stream that is enough for everyone to drink. I don't know what happened recently. Is it because the gods are angry?"

When the others heard this, they were also very worried.

The gods were angry over there and caused drought. Will they also be angry here, which will lead to other disasters.

"Boom boom boom—"

Hei Lie clasped the table with his fingers: "Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, why panic!"

"This is also the purpose of our increased production. We must not be complacent about our previous achievements."

Yang Yi said this because he had discovered that the people in the tribe were starting to drift a little bit. The last bumper harvest shocked everyone too much. They had never seen so much food.

I never thought that it could be obtained in such a simple way without worrying about being hurt by wild beasts.

In addition, the second big harvest is coming soon, and none of the fruits in the field tell everyone how rich their tribe is.

It is inevitable that everyone feels that food is very easy to obtain. Although there is no actual action, they still cherish food very much.

But I still started to feel a little proud and complacent, and felt that it was already very good to achieve this level, and I lost some aggressiveness.

This emotion is unavoidable when everyone else is weak.

The group of people that Jing brought back gave everyone a great shock, and made many people calm down.

I began to understand the meaning that Yang Yi has always emphasized that the tribe must continue to expand and develop in order to have a stronger ability to resist risks.

"The envoy is right. Everyone only sees the current bumper harvest, but they don't see that we are actually reducing production." Qing said.

"Production reduction? Isn't this time more harvested than last time? We have more than doubled the previous crop."

Qingli glanced at the teeth who just spoke: "Don't just remember to eat, don't remember what I said before!"

He rubbed his nose embarrassingly, but didn't dare to speak.

Qing is a gentle person, but once touched against the scales, he will start to go crazy, especially vicious.

Especially when facing the teeth, I can't hold back my temper, because the two are now married.

Although Chi Chi was choked face to face, he didn't show anything wrong. He was very open-minded and would not feel unhappy for the sake of face.

"The seeds brought by the angels from the gods are very high-yield, but the second-generation seeds will be weakened a lot, only about 70% to 80% of the original, and the third-generation seeds are not optimistic at present, and can only be maintained at 70% at most."

Qing's brows were tightly frowned, and while the others were celebrating the harvest, she was always worried because she knew.

"Oh my God, does this mean that when the fourth and fifth generations become fewer and fewer, nothing can be grown in the end?!"

Teeth exclaimed, and the expressions of the others were not very good.

Yang Yi looked at Qing: "Hasn't the excellent seed work been improved?"

"Some progress has been made so far, but the effect is not obvious. At most, it can be maintained at 60% of the initial seed state."

"Let's say it earlier! Isn't there still 60% left? As long as we grow a little more, we'll be done. Now we still have so many people, so we don't have to worry about it." Chi giggled.

The others also relaxed, most of them were very optimistic, and Jiang Qing blushed with anger.

Yang Yi said with a smile: "You still need to have an optimistic attitude. Everything must be done step by step. It is not easy for you to do this."

This is just the beginning of planting, and so many achievements can be made, Yang Yi doesn't know how to express his excitement except for raising his thumb.

Although the output has decreased significantly, it is still very high, because it was too abnormal before.

Even if it is reduced to 50%, compared with the food intake here, it is probably equivalent to the level of more than 1,000 catties per mu of rice on the earth, which is still very impressive.

Although there is no machinery here, the manpower is very strong, and the land is fertile and easy to plant. Overall, the god of luck is still very kind to them.

"There are a lot of newcomers joining the tribe this time, we must ensure everyone's food, and don't make life harder for the newcomers than before!" Black Hunter brought the theme back.

The representative of the orc clan, a thin old man weakly raised his hand.

Seeing him, Yang Yi smiled and said, "Tu Meng, what do you want to say?"

"We who have the talent of herbivores like to eat vegetables, but every time the tribe divides us a lot of meat, some people exchange meat for vegetables in private. Is this behavior allowed?"

At present, there are more and more people in the tribe, and their contributions are also different, so they cannot be distributed according to attributes as before.

This is not fair to those who have made more contributions, and according to historical experience and observations of tribesmen, egalitarianism is not sustainable at the current level of productivity.

Differences can still exist, as long as the minimum is guaranteed and the highest is allowed to fulfill its obligations, the contradictions caused by differences can be weakened.

In order to avoid conflicts and hinder the development of society, conflicts will eventually erupt.

Therefore, a month ago, after Yang Yi discussed with everyone, he began to let the tribe implement the material ticket system.

It's just like China's food stamp system in the past, except that it doesn't need extra money to buy it.

According to different contributions and their own attributes, each person will be assigned a corresponding ticket.

The receipt of all items such as food, clothing and other materials is based on the material ticket, and it is still a registered system.

You can't make a big leap all at once, lest the scene is difficult to control.

The material ticket is made of special wood, which is only found in the swamp, and the slight redness is very special.

The top and back of the physical ticket are engraved with a unique star fire pattern, which was designed by Han Bing. The pattern is not complicated, but it can represent the Star Fire tribe.

There is an empty space below for 'punching holes', and a hole represents a share.

When receiving supplies, the other party will punch a hole when receiving a share.

Each physical ticket has ten 'holes' or twenty 'holes', and playing once means one less time.

Now the wages are paid once every ten days. If the time is too long, I worry about some careless people. They will get everything from the beginning, eat and drink, and it will be difficult later.

Many people have not developed the habit of planning, and it is easier to control it within ten days.

Let them begin to have such a consciousness, but they can't really starve them.

However, with more people in the future, it is likely that the time will be extended, so let’s get used to it slowly.

Every month, the person in charge will submit the salary slip to the finance department, and the finance department will make all the property tickets, and then send them to each person in charge for them to send to the owner.

If there are more holes than the actual number that should be released, and the opponent does not encounter a zero integer, then just punch the extra holes when releasing.

A dedicated person in charge will fill in the owner's name on each object ticket and register it. If all the holes are drilled, it will be recycled to facilitate data recording.

However, weapons and tools are not counted among them. These are the public property of the tribe and everyone is entitled to use them.

The specifics mainly depend on the position you are in, and they are distributed and used according to actual needs, rather than contributions made.

These do not belong to individuals and must be returned to the warehouse after use.

Weapons are special, and some people can have their own because of their great contribution, but they are still under strict control.

Only Yang Yi in the entire tribe is qualified to bestow it, not even Black Hunter, who is the chief.

Now the most beautiful decoration in the tribe is not only the red stone representing honor, but also the ticket representing wealth.

There is no saying that wealth is not revealed here, and there will be no one who hates the rich and finds it annoying that the other party shows off their wealth.

Just like showing off one's powerful force value, one will yearn and envy, but it is basically a benign stimulus.

Especially now that the real-name system is used, and there is no such thing as theft.

If anyone wants to threaten to obtain supplies, they only need to go to the secretariat or the escort to complain or ask for help, and it will be resolved immediately.

The punishment for this kind of behavior in the tribe is very severe, and those who are lighter are transferred to a more difficult department and have to dye their faces with white paint.

And if there is a second time, regardless of the severity, they will be kicked out of the tribe.

If the circumstances are serious, they will be blasted out or killed directly.

Therefore, the looting has not happened so far.

After the orcs joined, some orcs with fierce beast talents threatened them by virtue of their strong fighting power.

Now all of them have been blasted out. More than 10,000 orcs came, and nearly 50 people were blasted away or killed directly.

These are malignant tumors that will not mend their ways after repeated lessons, destroy internal unity or be extremely arrogant. The orcs are not dissatisfied with such punishments, but will be more cautious in their words and deeds.

However, the threat did not happen, but some people wanted to exchange it themselves.

Tu Meng quickly explained: "They really want to exchange, they are not coerced. Just like me, I prefer to eat vegetables grown in the tribe, especially carrots, which are really delicious! Raw ones are very delicious. good to eat."

"If it wasn't for supplementing the salt before, I wouldn't want to touch the meat at all. Now that there is salt, there is really too much meat for us."

Compared with the Eastern Continent people, most of them eat everything. Warriors prefer meat, but it's just a taste preference, not because of the needs of the body, so they are more satisfied with the current distribution.

The orcs are different, because of the different talents in their bodies, which led to such a result.

"This is our negligence." Yang Yi reviewed it.

Rabbit Meng was startled, jumped up from the chair, and spun around on the spot: "No, no, angel, don't say that, we are asking too much."

"Don't be nervous." Yang Yi said with a smile, "It's true that I didn't think about it clearly before. You mentioned it very well."

Hu Wen stretched out his finger and poked Tu Meng's head: "You old rabbit, you haven't made any progress at such an age."

Rabbit Meng bared his teeth in anger, a pair of front teeth were very conspicuous.

Although the orcs don't have a beast form, and they won't grow certain parts of a gifted beast, there are still some places that will show it.

For example, Tu Meng has the talent of a rabbit, so his ears are relatively long, but not as exaggerated as a rabbit, but obviously slightly longer than ordinary people, and his two front teeth are also very large.

Not only that, but their hind legs are very powerful, they can jump very high, they are also very good at punching holes, and they are also very fertile.

Tu Meng now has so many children and grandchildren that he can't even count them, nor can he recognize them all.

When I came to the Xinghuo Tribe and started the account registration, I found out that he had a total of seventy-six rabbits and grandchildren, which is an astonishing number.

"It's still possible to exchange what everyone needs, this is everyone's freedom." Yang Yidao.

"Things are not that simple." Jiao maintained a skeptical attitude, "Once the transaction starts, it is easy to cause various conflicts."

Yang Yi pondered for a moment: "What you said makes sense. Whether you are willing to change it, and how you should change it, there may be problems."

At present, there are too many people in the tribe, and it is inevitable that the phenomenon of bullying will inevitably occur.

This is unavoidable everywhere, and can only be supervised and controlled.

Even before, Yang Yi didn't dare to pat his chest to assure that nothing bad happened.

Not to mention this world where force is paramount, even where the laws of the earth are sound, no matter how developed and well-off a country or region is, there will always be some bad things.

"This is indeed a problem." Yang Yi nodded.

"If you want not to be bullied, you have to stand up by yourself." Black Hunter disagreed.

"The tribe has provided a good environment. If they don't know how to fight for it, even if we help them avoid risks in this matter, they will be oppressed in other matters."

"The chief is right. The envoy said that everyone should be self-reliant. They are so cowardly in the tribe. How can they go out and face those beasts?" Chi echoed.

Others also agreed, that is, in the Xinghuo tribe, in other tribes, these things are not a thing at all.

Although such words are very cruel to the victims, in this social environment, it is quite reasonable at present.

If you want to survive, you have to be bloody, otherwise you will be gnawed to nothing.

How dare you face the dangerous world if you don't even have the courage to appeal for your own legal rights

In this world, life is all about fighting for life. Even if there is a platform and environmental protection, I dare not take advantage of it. I can only say that I asked for it.

Everyone present felt that there was no need to be so cautious, including Tu Meng, who also agreed with this point of view.

"Well, if you have no opinion, then you can exchange items freely and privately, but everything is based on the principle of voluntariness and fairness and justice. Relevant laws and regulations must be formulated in the future. It is necessary to ensure the standardization of exchanges and not to deliberately lower or drive up prices. .”

"God's envoy, I agree!"

Everyone raised their hands and agreed to the proposal.

Yang Yi looked at the finance department: "If the exchange between everyone and the tribe is opened, will it cause pressure?"

"Probably there will be. At present, the tribe's food is very tight. If we let it be exchanged with everyone, we don't know what will happen at the moment, and we can't control the final result. Our number of people has skyrocketed too much.

A big harvest can’t solve so many mouths, because it is followed by a cold season that is difficult to plant, and it can be planted in the drizzle season before harvesting until the hot season. The time in between is too long. "

The Minister of Finance was very worried. When the whole tribe was celebrating the joining of so many people, they looked at the data one by one and felt panicked.

"There is a limited amount of redemption every day, and the specific amount changes according to the actual situation. If there are still people who cannot exchange, they can do it in private." Black Hunter suggested.

Yang Yi nodded: "This will ensure a relative balance, and control the exchange rate of private transactions will not be too exaggerated."

Colleagues who follow the laws of the market, tribal macro-control must exist.

Setting prices for the tribe is also to prevent people from messing around without knowing the market, leading to transaction confusion.

Tu Meng didn't quite understand it, but he was very happy to know that it could be exchanged, so he said to Hu Wen on the spot:

"I know you have stockpiled a lot of vegetables and radishes, let's exchange them with you!"

At this time, Jin raised his hand, and Yang Yi nodded.

"Envoy, the trade fair after the harvest season is coming, can people in the tribe exchange these things with people from other tribes?"

Jin is a person who has made great contributions in the tribe. Not only has her medical skills become more and more sophisticated, but she has also brought out many apprentices and discovered some people with medical talents.

She is also a great beauty in the tribe, and she is getting more and more beautiful and more attractive.

In the past, her momentum was inferior to the golden ring, but now because of her self-confidence, she has a kind of tenacity in her gentleness, making her more and more likable.

Therefore, there is never a shortage of suitors by her side, but she has never had this plan.

Because of her hard work and achievements, she has always obtained a lot of material tickets, and the suitors have sent their hearts one after another—

In the Eastern Continent, this is an expression of admiration. If the other party disagrees, no one will feel that they have lost money. As long as they can accept it, they will be very happy.

This makes it impossible to use a lot of material tickets that have been hoarded since the material ticket system.

There are quite a few people like Yu, some because of their great achievements and rewards, some simply like to hoard, or they don’t need to punch in for certain things, and so on.

Those who have joined the tribe for the longest time have very good benefits, and the savings will not affect their work at all.

And the material ticket includes not only food, but also daily necessities such as clothing, paper, pottery and so on.

"As long as it's not weapons and other items, things that belong to individuals have the right to trade freely." Yang Yi affirmed.

Black Hunter did not forget to add: "But it must not be lower than the internal price of the tribe! If you replace the necessities of life with some useless things, you will not be eligible to receive the subsistence allowance."

The tribe has a minimum guarantee to protect everyone's most basic rights.

Although very few people use it, it doesn't exist yet, and everyone feels ashamed.

As long as you are diligent enough in the tribe, you don't need to get it at all.

The tribe has a large amount of supplies to exchange with other tribes, so it should not affect the normal exchange of the tribe, let alone allow some people to exchange some flashy things, and end up looking for the tribe because they can't eat enough or keep warm.

Although it is very likely that such a person will not appear now, it may not be so after a long time.

Everyone present understood in an instant, and became emotionally excited:

"This is a must! Anyone who dares to do this and take advantage of the tribe, he is not worthy of being a Sparkman!"
