"Zhou Bing and Tang Wen, you two will take some of the existing members of the hunting camp and select some of the outer city guards to form an outer city hunting team."
"Tang Wen is responsible for assisting Zhou Bing, and at the same time, he also assists Commander Zhang in the management of the outer city."
Going to the outer city?
Two deputy positions?
Tang Wen thought, in this case, he could fish as much as he wanted.
Tell Sister Bing that Commander Zhang has something to arrange.
Tell Commander Zhang again that Sister Bing's side is too busy.
Isn’t it very relaxing?
Well, wait a minute, I finally became a leader, shouldn’t I want to be arrogant?
Why do you always think about fishing?
After the work was arranged, General Zhou stood up and said: "Let's go to the main hall together to meet the queen."
Crash, the stool made a noise.
Tang Wen and Zhou Bing are okay.
The other three people stood up helplessly, with nervous and expectant faces on their faces.
Tang Wen was curious and asked in a low voice: "It's okay if the two original captains from the outer city have never met the queen. How come Qian Lai has never met this guard?"
"Well, the queen, she is always in retreat." Zhou Bing's tone was a little unnatural.
Tang Wen glanced at her and said nothing more.
The two of them followed the generals and commanders and came to the main hall together.
The main hall is also in the style of a meeting hall. In the middle and back position, there is a half-person high stone platform with an exquisitely shaped chair on it.
There are rows of seats on both sides in front of the stone platform.
"My Lady Queen, the new commanders have arrived."
A person who looked like a female official shouted towards the side door of the main hall.
Light footsteps approached.
Then, a bright and stunning face burst into everyone's eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work, sit down!"
The clear and sweet voice revealed a hint of majesty that was irresistible.
But no one sat down. It wasn't until she flicked off her red coat and sat down in her seat that everyone sat down.
Liu Sha was the first to stand up tremblingly, and introduced himself to the queen in a fluent manner.
His excitement, reverence, and awe at seeing the Queen's face were evident.
The queen smiled and nodded encouragingly.
The old man sat down with excitement on his face.
Zhang Mian is not much better than him.
Qian Lai performed slightly better.
After he finished speaking, he evoked the Queen's impression of him: "Yes, the little guard back then has grown up."
Qian Lai looked excited and couldn't help but express his loyalty: "The guards will always be the sharp blade in your hands!"
"Yes." The queen nodded, as if she was sure of him.
Zhou Bing stood up.
The queen's smile was as bright as the sun: "Bing'er, you don't need to introduce me. Stay here later."
The three of them all turned their heads with envy in their eyes.
Envious of the Queen's closeness to her.
Tang Wen looked at the expressionless Sister Bing curiously, and felt even more strange.
"My Lady Queen, I am Tang Wen."
"I know you," the Queen praised, "Young genius."
"Where, where, in front of Her Lady Queen, is there any genius."
"You are young and killed the Awakened One in the ring. You are naturally a genius. Don't be modest!"
Tang Wen was even more modest: "I just spent all the time that others enjoy on practicing martial arts."
other people:......
"Okay! Stay later and tell me how you usually practice martial arts." The queen suppressed her smile.
After agreeing, Tang Wen returned to his seat.
He also gained the envious looks of the three new commanders.
It seems that these three people can be regarded as loyal fans of the Queen.
After introducing the newcomers, the queen stood up, her red dress was like fire, and her tone was serious: "Everyone, the drought is coming!"
Um?
Except for the five newly promoted people, the others were not surprised at all, and they had obviously known about it for a long time.
General Zhao stood up and said: "After investigation, the water levels in the large and small rivers and streams around the camp, as well as the large lake in the west, are lower than in previous years. As of today in winter, there has been no rain or snow for more than three months. In late spring this year, corn will definitely be Production must be reduced. According to estimates by experienced farmers, production must be reduced by more than half."
When everyone heard this, they all frowned.
Everyone knows that a reduction in food production often means the beginning of unrest.
"How many of you can tell me first?" General Zhou looked at Tang Wen and the other five people, obviously testing their skills.
After all, the commander should not only know how to fight and kill, but also know something about camp management and disaster prevention.
Liu Sha and the three of them looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said a word. He quietly lowered his head, not daring to look at the seniors.
He acted like a scumbag who didn't dare to look into the teacher's eyes after he asked a question.
Zhou Bing frowned and was thinking about something.
"Xiao Tang, you come first."
Tang Wen organized his speech and said: "The scavengers outside the camp may riot. They have been hungry all winter. If they can't eat the fruits of the forest, wild vegetables and mushrooms on the ground in the spring, they will not survive. People are about to starve to death. Before, they can do anything. Even if they don't riot, the Black Mountain Camp will incite them to riot."
Commander Zhang asked: "Is there any way?"
Method?
Is there any way to think of this?
Many people in the hall had only one word in their minds - just kill them.
But Tang Wen felt that the camp should still focus on strengthening itself: "Demarcate an area outside the camp in advance and set up a stockade. All scavengers who are willing to work can come in and live there."
"Then find an open space by the big lake and let them clear up wasteland. As for the scavengers who rob and bully others, they will be executed immediately once discovered."
"Where's the food?"
General Zhao asked: "Opening up wasteland is a strenuous job, and you can't do it without eating food."
Tang Wen also knew that it was impossible for the camp to provide too much food to the scavengers.
He thought about this problem: "As for food, collect what is edible in the wild."
"For example, bark, leaves, flowers and plants, mixed with a small amount of grain, ground into flour, and made into hard pancakes. One piece should be enough to last half a day."
They don't need to be able to clear any wasteland in the first year, as long as they don't cause trouble, survive the dry season, and wait until it rains.
Not only can they feed themselves, they can also provide us with some food. "
"You mean we need to provide seeds and farm tools?"
If a person is so hungry, he will even eat the seeds.
Tang Wen shook his head and said: "During the sowing season, we only need to send people to work for a few days. We can lend them farm tools and let them pay them back with food when there is a harvest."
"Why bother? If they dare to cause trouble and attack the camp, they will be killed."
Tang Wen knew that some people thought so. He said: "It's okay, but people are a very important resource. What benefits can we gain by killing them? By recruiting them, we can grow the camp."
"Of course, we have to ask the Queen and the two generals to decide together on how to do it."
General Zhao nodded in affirmation: "Killing them is simple, but it is really wasteful and will cause a plague in the future."
"After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. We must also pay attention to epidemic prevention."
"Your Majesty, do you think so?"
The Queen held her fair cheeks in her hand, frowned and said, "It's a good idea. But first we need to calculate the number of people to open up wasteland. How much food is needed? Do we have enough food? What if the drought continues?"
General Zhou said: "Our food reserves, under the rationing system, are enough to feed the inner city for more than three years. If we include people from the outer cities, it will only last less than two years."
"The inner city is rich and every household has its own surplus of food, but the outer city is in dire straits."
Discussions came and went, and Tang Wen found that he still wanted to keep things simple.
The Flame Camp still doesn’t know how long the drought will last and whether it can survive the disaster year smoothly.
This is not a good time to recruit scavengers from outside the city.
After an hour or two of discussion, everyone basically reached an agreement.
Tang Wen's suggestions were partially adopted.
That's what he said about the coarse grain pancakes, which can be made first.
Spring is here, and there are many trees, flowers, and plants in the forest. Picking them back and mixing them with some flour to make dry and hard cakes can be regarded as a kind of food storage.
