After saying most of the things, Su Yan put down the documents in his hand, and the eyes of the city lords, ministers, and branch ministers on both sides of the long table converged on Su Yan, and they saw that the king's face became serious, and their hearts also became heavy.

"There is a very important matter to talk about in our Xia Kingdom, before talking about this matter, please ask Lu Wu to read a piece of data."

The eyes of the people shifted from the king to the deer witch.

Deer Witch's face was also very serious, he opened the document in front of him, and read according to the document:

"In the last four winters, the first winter was compared with the previous one, the water froze three days earlier, the ice melted two days later, and the winter time increased by five days;

In contrast to the first winter, the second winter freezes two days earlier, the ice melts one day later, and the winter time is increased by three days.

In contrast to the second winter, the water freezes four days earlier, the ice melts two days later, and the winter time is six days longer.

In contrast to the third winter, the water freezes six days earlier, the ice melts two days later, and the winter time increases by eight days, making the winter a total of 22 days longer than the four-year period. ”

When the deer witch read the data of the first winter, the city lords, ministers, and branch ministers had not yet felt anything, and when the data of the second winter, the data of the third winter, and the data of the past winter were read out in turn, everyone's faces became serious one by one.

Only the patriarchs and witches of the few clans who had only joined the Xia Kingdom in the last few years had no sense of these data, and they did not understand the significance of this data.

When the last data was read out, the patriarchs and witches couldn't sit still, how could it be? In four years, winter has increased by 22 days!

Su Yan glanced at the patriarchs and witches whose faces had become serious, and said slowly: "Just as the data read by the deer witch, in the past four years, the time of winter has been increasing, and the time of the other three seasons has been decreasing, once the winter time continues to increase, unimaginable disasters are likely to occur."

We don't know why this change is happening, and we can't stop it, we can only hope that this change will stop and return to normal.

But we can't sit still, once this situation continues, our Xia Kingdom is in danger......"

"What shall we do, King?" Hu Biao couldn't wait to ask, Xia Guo was his home, and he didn't want to see his home destroyed by natural disasters.

"Yes, king, what shall we do?" The other patriarchs and witches chimed in.

Su Yan raised his hand, and all the patriarchs and Wu stopped talking, looking at the king without blinking.

"Food, firewood and grass, we need to accumulate food and firewood, no matter how much time increases in winter, we have to live, food is the most important thing for us, as long as there is food, we can survive, without food, we will starve.

As long as the other plans continue, the cities should stock up on as much food as possible, build more granaries to store grain, and pickle more salted fish, so that the grain and salted fish can be stored for a few years without spoiling, and even if the whole year becomes winter, as long as there is enough food, we can hold on for a few more years.

And I don't believe that the whole year will become winter, at most the winter time will increase a little, and the time of the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn will be reduced, but it will not disappear.

Everyone knows the role of firewood and grass, we need to burn firewood and grass for heating in the cold winter, and we also need to burn firewood and grass for cooking.

We are not sure whether the winter time will continue to increase, maybe it will return to normal next winter, and the changes in winter will not have much impact on our lives, so with all the plans going on this year, each city will make it a priority to stock up on food and firewood, and store as much food and firewood as possible. ”

Hearing the king's words, all the patriarchs and Wu nodded vigorously in agreement with the king's words, no matter how the climate changes, food is the most important, and the status and role of firewood and grass are second only to food, so reserve food and accumulate firewood and grass as much as possible.

Su Yan promulgated the last and most important plan, and the patriarchs and witches took notes and prepared to return to their respective cities to begin implementation.

At the end of the meeting, the next day there was a small meeting of the ministries, and then the city lords and branch ministers returned to their respective cities by boat to prepare for this year's tasks, and the tasks of stockpiling food and stockpiling firewood and grass were regarded as key tasks.

The construction of the new two cities began, the tenth city is located about a day's east of Zhongjing on the south bank of the Yellow River, basically the tenth city is built in the original Aoki tribe settlement, and the eleventh city is located in the middle of Zhongjing City and the tenth city, on the north bank of the Yellow River.

With the construction of two new cities, the entire Xia Kingdom needs to use about 4,000 adult laborers, of which the number of slaves is about 1,500.

The three trading fleets of the Ministry of Commerce set sail again, and no matter what changes there were in the future, the Xia Kingdom would continue to develop as usual, trading cattle and horses with the nomadic tribes on the grassland, trading animal skins and populations with other tribes, and of course, waiting for the clansmen of other tribes to come to the Xia Kingdom as guests.

Thanks to the military parade at last year's founding ceremony, the various tribes have a deep understanding of the powerful strength of the Xia Kingdom, and this year more tribes have taken the initiative to send their clansmen to the Xia Kingdom as guests, and some tribes are still leaders or witches themselves.

Having a leader or witch visiting the Xia Kingdom means that these tribes are more likely to join the Xia Kingdom than other tribes, and once the situation of the Xia Kingdom is confirmed, these tribes have a high probability of joining the Xia Kingdom.

At most, three tribes will join the Xia Kingdom in a year, and there may be four or more tribes joining the Xia Kingdom this year, plus the population growth of the Xia Kingdom itself, then the population of the Xia Kingdom will increase even more this year than last year, and it will almost take two new cities to meet the population growth of so much.

……

All plans are being carried out in an orderly manner, but some people in each city don't quite understand how to build so many granaries this year, everyone knows that granaries are used to place grain, do their cities need so many granaries? If these granaries were filled with grain, they would be able to feed all the inhabitants of the city for more than two years.

Not only the construction of granaries, but also the fact that more people went to the river to fish last year, except for a part of the normal use of the daily fishing, the rest were salted with salt, and a large number of salted fish were made, so that the amount of salt used in the cities of the Xia Kingdom increased greatly, and many salt pans found in the Xia Kingdom began to be mined to maintain the sharp increase in salt consumption of the cities.

The matter of climate change was blocked by the high-level of the Xia Kingdom, and the ordinary people did not know about it at all, and the high-level officials of the Xia Kingdom did not even say anything about their relatives, so as to prevent the leakage of the news and cause chaos within the Xia Kingdom.
