Chapter 474: The drought didn't come, the flood came 1/2

The first time they came to the Xia Kingdom and came to Zhongjing City, whether it was the leaders of various tribes or witches, or the ordinary clansmen of various tribes, they were extremely surprised by the scene in front of them, they had heard other clansmen who had come to the Xia Kingdom tell about the Xia Kingdom, but none of them were more shocked than their own experience.

"Is this Xia Guo?"

"The powerful Xia Kingdom, ten of our tribes are not as good as the Xia Kingdom."

All kinds of words of boasting and praising Xia Guo came out of the mouths of the guests, but more people opened their mouths wide and didn't know what words to use to describe the scene in front of them.

Guests from various tribes stay in Zhongjingcheng, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for receiving them, and arranging the itinerary of the guests in the next few days, mainly to show the strong side of the Xia Kingdom in front of the guests, and at the same time, you can also take the guests to the homes of ordinary people to go around, no need to hide it, the living standards of ordinary citizens of Xia are not much worse than the living standards of the leaders of other tribes.

At the end of the guest time, Su Yan took the time to meet with guests with the identity of the leader or witch, and only in this way were the guests worthy of Su Yan to meet, and those guests who did not even have the status of the high-level tribe in their respective tribes were not eligible to be received by Su Yan.

Receiving the leaders of several tribes and witches, Su Yan repeated the old words.

"You have also seen the situation in our Xia Kingdom, whether it is good or bad, you already know, according to the records of our Xia Kingdom, the time of winter has been increasing in recent years, and it has become colder, and it is expected that the next winter will last longer than the winter just past, and it will be colder, many tribes have people frozen to death, and some tribes have starved to death.

These two situations will not appear in our Xia country, our Xia country's houses can resist the invasion of the cold, our Xia country has endless food, in the face of natural disasters, it is difficult for weak tribes to persevere, only as strong as our Xia country, there is no need to be afraid of natural disasters.

Now I sincerely invite your tribe to join our Xia Kingdom, and I promise as the king of Xia Kingdom that as long as your tribe joins our Xia Kingdom, I will treat your tribesmen and Xia citizens equally. ”

Su Yan's expression made the hearts of the leaders and Wu excited, but none of the leaders or Wu directly said that their tribe would join the Xia Kingdom.

"King of Xia Kingdom, I really want my tribe to join Xia Kingdom, but this kind of thing is not something I can do alone." One leader said so, and several other leaders and witches echoed the idea themselves.

"Please make a decision as soon as possible, time does not wait for us." Su Yan finally said.

The three trading fleets set sail for the second time, sending the guests of Zhongjing back to the various tribes, and returning with more guests.

The first batch of guests to return to their tribes has a huge impact on their respective tribes, especially those tribes where the leader or the witch himself comes out, the leader and the witch are the leaders of the tribe, and their words and deeds will have a huge impact on the tribe.

In just a few days, two tribes made the decision to "join the Xia Kingdom", and when the trading fleet returned, the leader or Wu once again came to the ship to go to the Xia Kingdom, this time the two tribes wanted to discuss how their tribes should join the Xia Kingdom.

Time passed day by day, until the end of spring, and only three tribes made the decision to join the Xia Kingdom, and Su Yan was not in a hurry to let those three tribes migrate to the Xia Kingdom.

On the one hand, the two cities built this year have not yet been built, and on the other hand, it is because of food, Su Yan wants to wait for the autumn harvest before moving the three tribes to the Xia country, and then the three tribes will harvest a batch of grain, and at the same time, the two cities built this year will also be built to house the three tribes.

Nowadays, Xia Guo pays more attention to the record of climate change, and even does not need the record of the Ministry of Rites, the people of Xia can feel the abnormal climate change, not only the winter time increases and becomes colder, but the climate change also affects the spring, and the early spring has been wet and cold, and the average temperature of the whole spring is a little lower than the average spring of previous years.

In order to prevent the arrival of a great drought, Su Yan sent the design of the waterwheel to the cities of the Xia Kingdom, and ordered the cities to gather carpenters to build the waterwheel.

It's just that things are beyond Su Yan's expectations, the drought did not come, but the rain became more, one heavy rain after another, if it weren't for the ditches extending in all directions in the farmland outside the cities of the Xia Kingdom, I am afraid that the farmland would be flooded, and now a little water has just gathered in the farmland, it will be discharged into the river along the ditch, and the increase in rain will not have much impact on the grain production of the Xia Kingdom this year.

The impact of the rain on the Xia country is not great, but the impact on other tribes is great, the farmland of one tribe after another is flooded, and the reduction of production is inevitable, and many tribes are afraid that this year's crops will be lost.

In fact, each tribe also has certain flood prevention measures for their own farmland, over the years, the rainy years are not once or twice, each tribe can survive, there must be some ways to deal with flooding, the simplest is to dig ditches, or pile up soil outside the farmland to block the outside water.

In order to protect the farmland from the crops, when it rains heavily, the tribes enter the farmland under the organization of the leader to drain the water, and when the weather is fine, they will continue to increase flood control measures on the farmland.

Just over half of the summer, four more tribes decided to join the Xia Kingdom, without exception, these four tribes either failed to harvest or crop yields were seriously reduced, as a "semi-farming" tribe, farming is the main way for each tribe to obtain food, crop yield is seriously reduced or even no harvest, the impact on these "semi-farming" tribes is too great, it is very likely that there will be people starved to death in winter.

Originally, the four tribes still thought that they didn't need to join the Xia Kingdom for the time being, wait a while, and see how this year's winter is, if their tribes can't resist it, they will choose to join the Xia Kingdom next year, but they didn't expect the summer rain to increase greatly, which will reduce the crop yield of the four tribes or even eliminate the harvest.

In this case, the high-level leaders of the four tribes have already understood that it will be difficult for the four tribes to hold on to themselves in this winter, and for the sake of the clansmen, the high-level leaders of the four tribes can only choose to join the Xia Kingdom.

Knowing that four more tribes are going to join the Xia Kingdom, Su Yan has not had many surprises, natural disasters are coming, some tribes can resist it, and some tribes can't resist it, if in the past, there was no food, the various tribes of the human race would kill each other, reduce the population, and at the same time the remaining population would get enough food to live, and now there is more Xia Guo This option, they can't not die, of course they will choose to join the Xia Kingdom.

Fortunately, the climate change has not yet reached the point where Xia Guo cannot bear it, and if it reaches a point where even Xia Guo cannot bear it, even if there is a tribe that wants to join Xia Guo at that time, Xia Guo will not accept it.

[The number of clans and cities is too large, only the clans or cities that need to be described will have names in the future, and the names of other clans and cities will be skipped] ()
