The fire in the fireplace is burning, making the room very warm.
It's late autumn, and the temperature is relatively high during the day with the sun, about 20 degrees, but at night, it drops to about zero degrees.
Once it rains, it will be even colder, making it obvious that winter is coming.
Yang Yi flipped through the data and materials handed in by various departments in the room. The tribe had just ushered in its second bumper harvest, and this time the scale was much larger than before.
Although the output of the second-generation seeds has decreased, the overall output has doubled because of the expansion of the scale and the fact that most of the seeds are still brought out by Yang Yi from the space.
"It's still very dangerous."
Yang Yi's brows were furrowed, and the population surge brought great pressure to the tribe.
"Your requirements are too high, and this speed of progress is beyond anyone's imagination." Black Hunter, who came in at some unknown time, said.
"We now have powerful weapons and can hunt a huge variety of game, and it is infinitely better than before.
What's more, with so many animals raised by him and so much food grown, this winter is a wealth that no one has ever imagined. "
Yang Yi smiled, and understood this truth in his heart, but after living on the earth for so many years, the standards are completely different.
"I don't know how cold the winter here is, is there enough cotton?"
"No one will freeze to death this year." Hei Lie affirmed, but did not directly answer Yang Yi's question.
"It seems that there is still not enough cotton." Yang Yi understood the meaning of his words.
Black Hunter disagreed: "There is no cotton, wool and animal skins, how can they be so delicate."
"Is this a question of squeamishness? This is a question of people's livelihood, my lord chief." Yang Yi rolled his eyes:
"I'm just joking, don't be so serious." Black Hunter smirked fawningly.
"It's true that there is no guarantee that everyone has a set of thick clothes suitable for going out, but it is enough. The house is very warm, and the coal mining is very smooth, which can bring enough heat."
Hei Lie subconsciously looked at the fireplace. Everyone felt that the current dormitory was perfect, but it was not until winter that they really knew how good the tribe's house was.
Before building a house, Yang Yi considered heating in winter.
According to the people of the Green Python tribe, the winter here is very cold. Fortunately, during the day and at night, there are often weak and weak people who lose their lives unknowingly in the middle of the night.
So he thought about how to keep warm when building a house.
The heat conduction of metals commonly used on the earth cannot be realized at present, but it can be built by using the distance between the kang and the heating.
After countless experiments, finally, under the collective wisdom of everyone, a method that can burn fire to transfer heat was designed.
As houses are built, this method is constantly being improved.
Although the effect is far inferior to the transmission method of metal heating, the first floor is fine, just like stepping on a kang, the heat that can be transmitted upstairs will be very little, and heating is not expected, but the temperature is not so cold.
Therefore, when arranging dormitories, people with stronger physique will be placed on high buildings on purpose, and those with weaker physique will be placed downstairs.
Those who get the house sooner are actually not very good, because the technology is not mature, even the current technology is very rough, so Yang Yi uses a fireplace for heating.
We have already informed this when we were allotted, and everyone doesn't mind, and we are still proud of being able to move in as soon as possible.
"We still don't have enough houses."
Now that the weather is getting colder, it is gradually becoming unsuitable for building houses, and the mud will freeze.
"Just squeeze it, it's not so delicate." Black Hunter still doesn't think this is a problem.
At present, the house is no longer a room for two people, and basically sleeps more than four or five people.
The old members were also arranged to live in places such as school temples at night. Except for some important places, other places were arranged for people to live.
"Do the old members have any opinions?"
"How many days have passed? How dare they have any objections?!"
Yang Yimi squinted, and Hei Lie touched his nose: "It's too late for them to be happy that they can live in the temple."
At present, those who can live in the temple are basically old members.
For the new two groups of people, I still remain skeptical.
After all, there were too many of them, and the time was so short, it was impossible to tell whether any of them had bad intentions.
Especially the people that Jing brought back this time were very mixed, and it was difficult to distinguish them even after a while.
They now have a lot of things that are coveted by others, and it is not impossible for so many people to be mixed with spies.
He had caught several people with strange movements before, but this time he was not as lenient as he was with Hong, and Hong did not go to places that he had been specifically warned not to go to.
The tribe negotiated to kill them directly, and their attitude was very firm.
Yang Yi has no objection to this, sometimes iron and blood is needed, and excessive kindness is cruelty to himself and his relatives and friends.
"Besides, the trade fair is about to start, and we can exchange for more furs and food." Hei Lie sighed: "Mastering technology is taking advantage!"
Whether it is paper, black pottery, ink or wine, sugar, etc., it is really troublesome to make, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the technical content is very high.
Don't look at such a small point, it is very laborious and time-consuming.
It's definitely worth it compared to what you can get in exchange.
It is even far easier than farming or hunting by yourself. Some people suggested before that if you simply put all your energy on manufacturing, the harvest will be even greater.
At that time, many people echoed the meeting, because they saw with their own eyes how much a small wine, a little paper and a bottle can be exchanged for, so they inevitably had such thoughts.
Yang Yi vetoed it on the spot and explained to everyone what is the necessities of life.
A tribe must have the ability to be self-sufficient, otherwise it will be choked by people, and those so-called luxury goods will not be sold at any price.
Those people can do without those things, they will starve to death if they have nothing to eat. The ability to resist risks will be weak, but the gains outweigh the losses.
Thinking of this trade fair, Yang Yi was also very excited.
The reputation of the Xinghuo Tribe has now spread. During this period of time, relatively close tribes and small caravans have come to the tribe to exchange things.
Although there are not many, and there is nothing Yang Yi wants most, it is still a very happy thing.
If it can become a new trading center, it will also be very beneficial to the development of the tribe.
Especially now that their number is enough to withstand many dangers, generally no one dares to offend them easily.
"According to the current news, there will be a lot of tribes coming to this fair, and I hope they can bring more of what we want!"
Not only because of Xinghuo's reputation, but also because the Green Python tribe learned how to purify salt from Yang Yi, so they could provide more salt.
People from more tribes are willing to come here. Although the Black Forest is a remote area, it is relatively close compared to other places where salt is exchanged.
Moreover, the quality of the red salt from the Green Python Tribe is very good. Since the production is guaranteed, the price is also more generous, which makes it more attractive.
"I just got the news that En's caravan is about to arrive in the Black Forest, and he brought a lot of big guys."
"Big guy?" Yang Yi was curious.
Black Hunter's eyes are bright: "There should be animals, and the team is very large. I think he has listened to what I told him before."
"That's really great!" Yang Yi also laughed, "It seems that the competition in the Western Continent is also very fierce."
"I suspect that there are more disputes in the Western Continent than in the Eastern Continent, and the relationship between them is very tense." Black Hunter expressed his guess.
Although there are a lot of caravans in the Western Continent, and they can be seen everywhere when they travel.
Not only selling items, but also selling information.
But they seldom talk about the Western Continent, they just talk about how rich and powerful it is.
It can be roughly guessed from the sense of superiority in the words and what it brings.
However, no one has answered in detail about how many people, how big, and how many caravans there are in the Western Continent.
"The development of civilization will also escalate the competition for resources. They do business in the Eastern Continent, and what they like to trade most is strong manpower, which also explains some problems."
Yang Yi didn't believe what the Western Continent caravan said as if the Western Continent was a paradise where gold could be found everywhere.
These are just like some brainwashing kits on the Internet. As a person who is often poisoned by various brainwashing kits, Yang Yi has reason to doubt the credibility of it from being convinced at the beginning to being easily identified later.
"If we have a chance after the meeting, we can go and have a look."
Yang Yi was surprised, he didn't expect Black Hunter to have such an idea.
"What do you mean by that look? The world is so big, of course I want to see it!" Black Hunter was unhappy.
Yang Yi was even more surprised. You can't see this kind of Internet buzzwords from books, right
"You told me before." Black Hunter's voice was muffled.
Yang Yi smiled dryly: "I've talked too much with you, and I forgot."
Hei Lie suddenly became happy again, and his face changed obviously, like the weather, which made Yang Yi puzzled.
"The security work of the trade fair must be guaranteed. I always feel that something will happen."
As soon as he talked about business, Black Hunter immediately became serious.
"I will strengthen the security and separate the trading area to prevent some people from 'straying in'."
The trading area of this trade fair was specially opened up. It is said to be specially opened up, but in fact it is just to level the land and divide the areas so that everyone can set up stalls.
As for the residence, this time it was not as good as it was during the previous celebrations, everything was covered.
They are not being taken advantage of, and there is no habit of charging venue fees here. Although they can still make a profit from it, they are not yet able or necessary to provide full board and lodging.
It is not easy to specially open up such a large area to prevent everyone from being threatened by wild beasts.
When you come here, you eat and sleep in the open all the way, and you can also solve these problems by yourself when you come to the trading area.
The Xinghuo tribe only provides places, and the water is free, but you can only queue up to fetch water at designated places.
Food, shelter, and fuel for ignition are all self-sufficient. If you want to provide it, you can just exchange it with something.
The trading area is far away from the central area of the tribe, especially the sensitive area, and there are special guard towers around it for supervision, with both bright and dark guards.
During this time, Black Hunter was busy with these things.
Yang Yi nodded: "The most important thing is to be careful about cooperating with the outside world. It seems that someone in the tribe is about to make trouble recently."
