One question, how many catties of meat does the Wind Tribe need to eat in a year?

There are 2,000 people in the Wind Tribe, and the number of minors converted into adults is about 1,400 people, an adult eats two meals a day in the morning and evening, and eats a total of two catties of meat a day, and 1,400 people are 2,800 catties of meat, and for 360 days a year, they eat a total of 1 million catties of meat, or about 500 tons.

Assuming that all the Wind Tribe eats is beef, how many cows does the Wind Tribe eat in a year?

Based on the average weight of 600 catties of adult cattle eaten, the meat yield rate is 50 percent, and there are only 300 catties of meat on a cow, and then divide 1 million by 300, which is about 3,300.

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked, a wind tribe with only 2,000 people actually eats 3,300 big cows a year, which is more than the number of people in the tribe itself.

It takes three to four years for cattle to reach adulthood, which means that the Wind Tribe grazes at least 13,000 cattle to meet their food needs, and before the Wind Tribe attacked the Black Wolf Tribe, the number of cattle, horses and sheep grazing exceeded 25,000, and after the Wind Tribe shouted the Black Wolf Tribe, this number has increased to 38,000, and now they all belong to the Xia Kingdom.

A careful inventory shows that among the more than 38,000 cattle, horses and sheep, there are more than 17,000 sheep, more than 12,000 cattle, and more than 9,000 horses.

Carrying a huge amount of loot, the huge team steadily marched towards the city, there were almost no tribes around the wind tribe, and there were few tribes on the edge of the grassland, the team did not suffer any attack, and the team returned to the city at the halfway point in the afternoon.

As the lord of the city, Hu Nan is now both happy and worried, happy that the warriors have returned victoriously, annihilated a nomadic tribe that is not weak, and obtained tens of thousands of cattle, horses and sheep, more than 2,000 captives and many, many animal skins.

The wind tribe eats so many cows, horses and sheep in a year, cowhides, horses and sheepskins are not lost, some animal skins are made into round tents, some animal skins are worn on the body, and some animal skins are used as bedding.

There is a lot of loot, but don't forget about the situation in the city.

The city has not yet been fully built, but there are so many more cattle, horses, sheep and captives, and Hu Nan needs to consider how to house these cattle, horses, sheep and captives.

It is a resettlement not an arrangement, only the king can arrange the cattle, horses, sheep and prisoners, and after the king's order is issued, Hu Nan can follow the king's order to dispose of the cattle, horses, sheep and prisoners.

It takes time to settle cattle, horses, sheep and captives, and it takes time to build a storage city, and Hu Nan doesn't know if it will be able to complete the construction of the storage city as planned before winter.

Hu Nan put his hand on his forehead, this is really a headache, but soon Hu Nan temporarily put down those headaches, the soldiers returned victorious, and what they need most now is a celebration banquet.

At night, one bonfire after another was lit in the city, and the processed beef and mutton were scattered to each bonfire, and everyone was scattered to each bonfire, or comrades-in-arms or family members, everyone talked and laughed and ate barbecue.

It's autumn now, and although the construction of the city has not yet been completed, some families have already moved into the city, and basically by the time the construction of the city is completed, about 5,000 people will live in the city.

The next day came, two A-type ships on the dock of the city were loaded with animal skins and sailed towards Zhongjing, and their mission was to send the information that the Wind tribe had obtained a large amount of loot from the destruction of the city to Zhongjing, and then bring back the king's arrangements for the booty.

Both A-type ships are improved versions, and it will only take about seven days to return to Zhongjing from the city, and it is expected that when the two ships sail halfway, another fleet going to the grassland for trading will pass by the city, sending some people, food, utensils, etc. to the city, and then go to the grassland for trading.

After the departure of the two A-type boats, Hu Nan continued to arrange other things, more than 38,000 cattle, horses and sheep obtained by the Annihilation Wind Tribe needed to graze, and this matter was handed over to Mu Shi's cavalry troops to do, but the cavalry troops did not know much about grazing, and the matter of grazing cattle, horses and sheep also needed the cooperation of those captives, especially the herdsmen who first took refuge in the Xia Kingdom.

There are too many cattle, horses and sheep, and the cavalry unit is less than 200 people, so I am afraid that the cavalry unit will not have much time to train in the next time.

More than two-thirds of the captives were minors, and there were more than 600 adults, and the captives were placed in an area of the city for easy guarding.

Some of the women who behaved well were arranged to graze on the side of the cavalry, but at most there were more than 180 people, and the rest of the people left about 150 people to take care of the children, and the remaining adults followed the Xia people to build the city.

Hu Nan quickly arranged things, but if you want things to go on according to Hu Nan's ideas, it will take some time, the most important thing is the problem of language, just using gestures to communicate, it is very troublesome, it is easy to misunderstand gestures, and there is no way to do it.

It is destined that from now until the arrival of winter, Hunan will be busy.

Two A-type ships from Chucheng sailed for more than six days, and in the afternoon of the seventh day, two A-type ships arrived in Zhongjing.

"Take off the skins, and I will go to the king's palace and report to the king." Kong Chang, the deputy guard of the cavalry town, said a word to the captain and crew, and then disembarked, found a carriage, and drove to the city.

"My lord, which city are you from?" The young driver asked softly as he drove.

The matter does not need to be kept secret, anyway, it will spread throughout the cities of the Xia Kingdom in the future, Kong Chang replied with a smile: "I am from the city, seven days ago, the city fought with a nomadic tribe, destroyed the nomadic tribe, and harvested a lot of booty, I came here to report this matter to the king." ”

"Won? Congratulations, sir. ”

"Rejoice and rejoice, our victory is also the victory of Xia Kingdom."

"If you destroy a nomadic tribe, you must get a large number of cattle, horses and sheep, and I heard that the nomadic tribes on the grassland have domesticated a large number of cattle, horses and sheep."

"Yes, the tribe we destroyed has a population of more than 3,000, which is a relatively strong nomadic tribe on the grassland, and we have harvested nearly 40,000 cattle, horses and sheep in total."

"40,000 cows, horses and sheep?! Great, amazing, our Xia country finally no longer lacks cattle, horses and sheep. ”

"It can't be regarded as a lack of shortage, after all, most of the cattle, horses and sheep have not yet grown, and there are only a few thousand adult cattle and horses."

Kong Chang and the coachman chatted while rushing to the palace, and soon arrived at the palace, at this time there was still more than an hour before the evening, if the king was in the palace, most of them would deal with government affairs in the study, Kong Chang strode towards the study, and did not meet anyone else on the way.

The palace was relatively large, but there were relatively few people living in the back court of the palace, and even if there were people in the front court, it would be other people who came to the palace to meet the king.

Coming to the door of the study, Kong Chang respectfully shouted into the open door: "Wang, Kong Chang, the deputy guard of the cavalry town, asks to see him." ”

"Enter" Su Yan's voice came from inside.

Hearing Wang's voice, Kong Chang walked into the study step by step, and at the end of the house, he saw Wang sitting behind the desk.

"Deputy Commander of Cavalry Town, Kong Chang, isn't your Cavalry Town accumulating a city? How did you come to Zhongjingjing? Did you fight with the nomadic tribes again? Su Yan guessed and said.

Kong Chang respectfully reported: "The king is like a god, we did fight with a nomadic tribe, and we also destroyed this nomadic tribe, harvesting a large number of cattle, horses, sheep, captives and animal skins. ”

"Destroyed a nomad? Tell me how you did it. Hearing that a nomadic tribe had been wiped out on the other side of the city, Su Yan immediately couldn't sit still.

Su Yan knew the situation over there very well, and now the population of the city should have exceeded three thousand five hundred, the number of people who could participate in the battle should exceed one thousand five hundred, and the number of archers should be three hundred or four hundred, including nearly two hundred cavalry towns.

Even if there are thousands of enemies attacking, with the tall walls of the city and the strong bow of the Xia Kingdom, it is completely possible to inflict great damage on the enemy, and there is no problem in repelling the enemy.

The key is how to destroy a tribe, if you want to destroy a tribe, you must pursue the enemy to the enemy's tribe residence, there are only less than 200 cavalry in the city, and the carriage can also travel on the grassland, but with this strength, it is difficult to destroy a nomadic tribe, and the nomadic tribe can't run if it can't be defeated?

In the face of Wang's thirst for knowledge, Kong Chang immediately reported the whole thing to Wang, and the matter did not start with the Wind Tribe, but from the beginning of the Black Wolf Tribe or the herdsman of the Black Wolf Tribe who had taken refuge in the Xia Kingdom, as a reward for the herdsmen, the herdsmen already had a Xia Country name, surnamed Cao, Mingzhong.

"Last summer, Cao Zhong and his two companions found a temporary camp under construction with people when they were grazing, thinking it was a weak farming tribe, and went back to the black wolf leader to report the matter, and the black wolf leader directly attacked with nearly 400 people, and finally the 400 horsemen of the black wolf tribe were defeated, and less than 100 people went back...... The Wind tribe was destroyed by us, taking more than 2,000 prisoners and harvesting more than 38,000 cattle, horses, sheep and hides. ”

Listening to Kong Chang's narration, Su Yan understood what happened, and in general, the strength of a tribe was not destroyed on the side of the city, even if it was only a very weak nomadic tribe.

And the fact that the city can destroy a nomadic tribe with a population of more than 3,000 and is relatively strong is a great coincidence, especially Cao Zhong's role in the whole thing, as long as there is a little problem with Cao Zhong's line, the city will have no chance to destroy a nomadic tribe.

After the destruction of the Wind Tribe, Xia Guo does not know how much time it will take to destroy a nomadic tribe, only by expanding the size of the cavalry force and equipping each cavalry with at least two war horses, can he take the initiative to find and attack other nomadic tribes.

In addition, the use of horse-drawn chariots to transport warriors in this battle can be advocated that the chariot is not a regular chariot, but a regular chariot should be made, and the leather armor of the chariot should be used to defend against the enemy's arrows, so as to form a real chariot army in the city.

Kong Chang handed over a document, and Su Yan opened the document, which recorded the detailed process of the battle between the city and the Feng tribe, including the battle damage, the various booty harvested, the number of men, women, and minors in the captives, the number of cattle, horses, and sheep, and so on.

After Su Yan carefully checked it, he immediately made corresponding arrangements, such as rewards for meritorious soldiers, arrangements for prisoners, and arrangements for cattle, horses, and sheep.

"You fought this battle beautifully, give you fifteen first-class merit places, thirty second-class merit places, thirty third-class merit places, and other personnel participating in the battle will be rewarded with animal meat according to the amount of merit, a maximum of fifty catties, a minimum of five catties, arranged by Hu Nan, Lu Zhe, and Mu Shi."

"The prisoner arrangements are as usual, for the time being, all the captives will stay in the city, and some of them will be arranged to other cities in the spring of next year."

"Cattle, horses, and sheep, like the captives, will all stay in the city for the time being, and wait for next spring, and then transport some of the cattle, horses, and sheep to other cities."

"By the way, the number of horses in your cavalry unit has been increased to 1,000, and the staffing has been increased to five teams, and this matter will also be carried out in the spring of next year.

Su Yan said while holding a brush and writing on a blank paper, the order must finally be issued in written words, and finally stamped with the big seal of the identity of the Xia King to be effective.

Kong Chang stayed in Zhongjing City for one more day, and on the third day, two A-type ships loaded with grain sailed to the city, because of more than 2,000 prisoners, the population of the city increased, and the consumption of food increased, although there were a large number of cattle, horses and sheep, but they could not eat animal meat for meals, so how many livestock had to be consumed, try to send more food to the city, anyway, the natural disaster was about to pass, and the Xia country was not short of food.

On the second day, the news of the destruction of the city, a nomadic tribe of 3,000 people, and a large amount of booty had spread with the fleet to all the cities of the Xia Kingdom.

It was the people on the other side of the city who were fighting, but the people in all the cities of the Xia Kingdom were very happy, and they destroyed the nomadic tribes and obtained a large number of cattle, horses and sheep, and then everyone could get more animal meat, which is good news, food has become the staple food, and everyone still likes to eat animal meat.

More soldiers are excited, there is a battle on the side of the city, there are so many people who have made meritorious contributions, and there will definitely be no less battles on the side of the city in the future, and there will be more people who have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and they all want to go to the city, but moving from one city to another is not something they can go to if they want to.

Now there is a very good way to move to the city, cavalry, next year the cavalry unit will recruit new again, the quota is close to three hundred, the last time the cavalry unit was just formed, many people did not participate in the selection, this time they have to work hard to become a member of the cavalry tribe.

The happiest are the people who are accumulating the city, especially those who participate in the battle, everyone has a reward, and the warrior who kills or captures more enemies will receive more rewards.

In addition, as a commander, they will occupy a certain number of meritorious service places, Hu Nan, Lu Zhe, and Mu Shi are all first-class merits, but with Hu Nan's age and status, they no longer care about meritorious service, and often give up credit and give it to young people.
