The food war continues, but compared with last year's food war, this year's food war is much smaller, there is no way, the food war for several years in a row, coupled with the cold winter, the number of tribes is decreasing, and the war is naturally less.

It wasn't until the autumn harvest that the food wars finally stopped, and the tribes were busy harvesting their crops.

For several years in a row, the crop yield has been reduced, if it is not handled well, it will even make the crop harvest, this year's situation is a little better than last year, the crop yield of Xia Guo has been reduced by more than forty and a half, and the continuous consumption of reserve grain can finally fill some.

As for other tribes, the reduction in yield by 50% is considered to be small, most tribes have reduced their yield by more than 60%, and there are a few tribes that have directly lost their crops, and this winter is difficult.

In the anxious waiting, the winter of the seventh year of the Xia calendar is coming, and the high-level people of the Xia Kingdom are waiting for an answer.

"King, the freezing of the water has been delayed for another six days." Lu Wu reported to Su Yan excitedly.

Last year, the water froze four days later, the ice melted seven days earlier, and this year the water froze six days later, and this has been the case for two consecutive winters, and the natural disaster is really in recession.

When the news spreads throughout the Xia Kingdom, the whole country celebrates!

In the hearts of the people of Xia Kingdom, it seems that this winter is not so cold.

More than 80 percent of the natural disasters are in recession, and if the ice melts a few days earlier, this certainty will increase to 90 percent, which is almost certain.

This winter does not need to reduce too much time, just ten days can be reduced, the duration of winter is reduced to 130 days, the impact of extreme climate change on crop yields is weakening, and there is no need for Xia Guo to continue to stock up on food.

For two consecutive years, he devoted himself to food, which had a great impact on the Xia Kingdom, and foreign trade stopped, population trade stopped, no new clans were recruited, no new cities were built, and no new ships were built...... The "manufacturing industry" in Xia has come to a standstill, and there is little development in the entire Xia country, and even the annual population growth rate has dropped a lot.

The natural disaster is in decline, and the Naxia Kingdom can return to the normal production and life of two years ago, rebuild new cities, rebuild new ships, reopen foreign trade, and reabsorb new clans......

"Three areas have been selected to build three cities before, because of the impact of this natural disaster temporarily abandoned the construction, next year choose two areas to build two new cities, one east and one west, two-way development, the west has the cattle and horses that Xia needs to have, the east has the population that Xia needs to have, and the goal of Xia is to occupy the entire Yellow River Basin."

Thinking of the population, Su Yan sighed unconsciously, in the natural disaster, I don't know how many tribes have perished, it's a pity, Su Yan has always regarded tribes outside the Xia Kingdom as the target of acceptance.

The construction of the ships continued, and although the Xia Kingdom stopped building new ships for two years, the shipbuilders worked together to improve the ships on paper after completing their daily work, and the improved version of the Type B was already sketched out and was just waiting to be built.

One plan after another was written down by Su Yan, and in the next year, Xia Guo will return to rapid development.

"That's right!" Su Yan thought of a very important thing.

Su Yan put down the pen and paper and looked at Xiangxiang beside her, Xiangxiang felt her husband's gaze, revealing a puzzled look.

Su Yan took Xiangxiang's hand and said with a smile: "Xiangxiang, when the situation of this natural disaster is confirmed, you can be a mother." ”

"To be a mother?" After thinking about her husband's words, Xiangxiang was rarely shy once, but she quickly held back her shyness and nodded heavily, Xiangxiang had waited too long for this day.

"Husband, I want it too." This was Eyue's voice, and even the plum blossoms looked at Su Yan with longing in their eyes.

In order to make the population of Xia increase rapidly, Su Yan has always encouraged adult citizens to have more children, and having more children can be rewarded by the state, and a small number of older women have more than ten children, but unfortunately the medical conditions are not enough, and one or two out of ten children will die.

In Xia Guoli, having more children has become the glory of women, and a man of Su Yan's age, even if he has only one wife, most families have more than five children.

The three daughters of Meihua, Eyue, and Xiangxiang were somewhat affected, and wanted to have more children for Su Yan, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the natural disaster, I am afraid that the three daughters would have already given birth to another child for Su Yan.

……

On the first hundred and twenty-sixth day of winter, the ice begins to melt, and tender green emerges from under the ice and snow. The eighth year of the summer calendar has officially arrived!

This time, the ice melted nine days earlier, and the duration of the winter that had just passed was shortened to 125 days, which was not about the same as the duration of the four-year winter in the summer calendar.

The worst period of natural disasters has passed, natural disasters are declining, the impact of natural disasters on the ground is declining, I don't know how many living beings died during the worst period of natural disasters, natural disasters are declining, everything is slowly recovering, I don't know when it will be able to return to the scene before the natural disasters.

At the regular court meeting in early spring, Su Yan announced the good news to the high-level officials of the Xia Kingdom:

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the records of the deer witch, we are more than ninety percent sure that the natural disaster is declining, last year's winter lasted only one hundred and twenty-five days, this year's winter will last less, the duration of the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn will increase, the daily temperature will rise to a certain extent, and the natural disaster will slowly reduce the production and life of our summer country."

Before, the high-level officials of the Xia Kingdom got more or less some news, but now it is the king who will tell the news in detail, and the joy is expressed on everyone's faces, the natural disaster has really declined, which is really good.

Although everyone belongs to different clans, but now everyone is from the Xia Kingdom, and the status of the country in their hearts is more than that of the clan, they all hope that the Xia Kingdom will continue to be strong, not destroyed by natural disasters, the Xia Kingdom is gone, and they can't survive.

No matter what others were thinking, Su Yan continued: "In the past two years, our Xia Kingdom has suspended various plans and invested all our strength in stockpiling food, which has had a great impact on the development of our Xia Kingdom, and now that the impact of natural disasters on us has weakened, it is time for our Xia Kingdom to return to normal production and life, and all the bans have been lifted. ”

No one raised objections, the previous ban was just to deal with natural disasters, and now that natural disasters are declining, the ban will naturally be canceled, if the ban is not lifted, how can the Xia Kingdom develop.

Su Yan promulgated one plan after another, and everyone in the conference hall took notes while listening, and the Xia Kingdom was about to return to the situation two years ago, and a developed Xia Kingdom appeared again.
