Chapter 503: Freshman (2) Hope 2/2
The melting of the ice was postponed for fifteen days, and the winter of one hundred and fifty-one days finally passed, and no one was happy about the arrival of spring, and the long winter made the people of Xia Country irritable, but helpless.
Su Yan couldn't imagine that one hundred and fifty-one days in a day was winter, and the tentative time of the year was three hundred and sixty days, and there were only two hundred and ten days left in the remaining spring, summer and autumn, and an average of only seventy days left in each season, and the two seasons together were less than the number of winter days, which was terrible.
The Xia Kingdom was quite well prepared, and persevered in this long winter, the conditions of the other tribes were much worse than the Xia Kingdom, and the people of most tribes could only shiver in the cold winter, and the long winter might consume all the food of their tribe.
I don't know how many humans have froze to death and starved to death during the long winter.
Humans can't stand this long and cold winter, and so do wild beasts, and I don't know how many more wild beasts have frozen to death and starved to death in this winter, and only some of them are left to survive.
How can the hunting tribes that barely survive the winter survive this situation?
This is like the extreme climate change that descended on the Ice Age, and it is simply the end times, and I don't know how many creatures will survive.
If the next winter is as long and cold as the one that just passed, what will Xia Guo do? If the next winter is even colder and longer than the winter that has just passed, what will Xia Guo do?
Su Yan didn't know, and neither did the high-level officials of Xia Guo, Xia Guo could only prepare as much as possible, even if the end of the world really came, it really wanted to devour all living beings, and Xia Guo would become the last one to disappear.
"Give up foreign trade, give up absorbing new clans, give up building new cities, give up building new ships, give up mining, give up smelting and casting; Expand the cultivated area as much as possible, catch as many fish as possible, and devote all the strength of the Xia Kingdom to collecting and storing food. Su Yan said to the high-level officials of the Xia Kingdom as if he was roaring.
The high-ranking officials of the Xia Kingdom took the king's words to heart, and when disaster came, the Xia Kingdom must work together to tide over this difficulty.
After arranging everything, Su Yan had the heart to check the documents handed over by the high-level officials of the Xia Kingdom.
According to statistics in the early spring of last year, there were more than 16,900 adult males and more than 27,400 adult females in Xia State, with a total of 107,000 citizens and a total population of 112,000.
According to statistics in the early spring of this year, there were more than 19,900 adult males and more than 31,100 adult females, with a total of more than 123,000 citizens and a total population of more than 130,700.
There were more than 19,900 adult male nationals, and each adult male citizen represented a family, and more than 19,900 families lived in the nineteen cities of the Xia Kingdom.
The number of adult male nationals alone exceeds that of most overlord-level tribes and camps, this is the strong Xia Kingdom, but in natural disasters, the Xia Kingdom is also weak and pitiful.
After the regular court meeting in early spring, the king's order was conveyed to the ears of every citizen of Xia Kingdom, and under the call of the king, the vast majority of the people worked harder, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and they sincerely hoped that Xia Kingdom would persevere.
The long and cold winter has passed, several tribes that have been in contact with the Xia country have disappeared, and the other tribes are still struggling to survive, many tribes are waiting, waiting for the arrival of the Xia country's fleet, they know that their tribe can no longer hold on, they only have one last way - to join the Xia country.
Half a month has passed, and the Xia country fleet that was supposed to arrive is nowhere to be seen.
A month has passed, and the Xia fleet has not yet come.
Two months have passed, where is Xia Guo's fleet? Aren't they coming?
Three months have passed, and no tribe is waiting for the Xia fleet, and some tribes even think that the Xia country has been destroyed, and there will be no more Xia fleet in the future, even the fishing tribe and the Japanese tribe think the same.
The top leaders of the fishing tribe and the top level of the Japanese tribe also had more ideas.
"The Xia Kingdom has fallen, and the Xia Kingdom has a lot of technologies that our tribe has not mastered, and when the natural disaster passes, we will go to the Xia Kingdom to find those technologies."
This year, compared to last year, the daily temperature is lower, but fortunately, the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn still exist, no matter what, spring ploughing is still going on, even if the crop yield plummets, it is necessary to cultivate the farmland, and do not give up the methods that can obtain food.
Of course, the most important way for Xia now is only fishing, after the end of spring ploughing, the cities of Xia sent as many people to the river to fish, and a long line of people was sent to the river, and even most of the Type A and Type B boats were used as fishing boats.
In the area far away from the Xia Kingdom, the food war began at the beginning of spring, and even the spring ploughing did not stop, it was carried out all the time, for food, various tribes fought against each other, and the powerful tribes obtained food but were hit hard, and then they could be destroyed by other tribes, and one grain may have to go through three tribes or even more tribes.
It's the harvest season again, low temperature and floods have made crops crazy to reduce yield, last year's yield was reduced by more than forty percent, and this year's output was reduced by nearly seventy percent, but fortunately, some grain was harvested, as well as fish caught from the river, plus the food reserves, Xia Guo was also gritting his teeth and persevering, saving food as much as possible.
If necessary, Su Yan would lead his people to the frozen river to fish in the freezing winter, which was a difficult way to obtain food, but it was an option compared to going out to hunt the few wild beasts.
Winter is coming again, this winter has made Su Yan make all the citizens of Xia Kingdom disgusted by all human beings on the earth, so that winter will disappear completely, so that no one will freeze to death and no one will starve to death.
At this time, the deer witch, the snake witch, and the tiger witch ran to the palace excitedly, shouting as they ran: "Good news, good news, king. ”
Su Yan hugged the deer witch and asked, "What good news?" ”
Lu Wu slowed down and said excitedly: "Wang, this year's water freezing time has been delayed by four days compared with last year, and it has been postponed by four days. ”
The deer witch was so excited that he was about to shed tears, for seven or eight years in a row, the water freezing time was advanced, and this was the first time that the water freezing time had been delayed, and the postponement was not one or two days, but four days.
Su Yan also smiled.
"It's really good news, I want everyone in Xia Kingdom to know this good news."
The delay of water freezing for four days does not mean that the natural disaster will definitely pass, and it does not mean that the natural disaster will definitely be reduced, but this is definitely good news for the Xia country in the midst of the disaster, which will make the people of the Xia country have more confidence, and it is also a hope, which means that the natural disaster may decline.
