Chapter 470: It's 1/2 old

The fishing leader was already a gray-haired old man, his vicissitudes of life showed the light of wisdom, in the fishing tribe, this old leader can be said to be one of the longest-lived tribesmen of the fishing tribe in recent decades, the fishing leader has experienced more than a dozen cold winters, and it is the first time to encounter such a strange cold winter.

It's not just that the fishing leader hasn't experienced such a thing, but there is no record of anything similar in the pictorial and written inheritance of the fishing tribe, and now he can only rely on the fishing tribe itself to grope forward.

"In the coming year, our tribe will prepare more animal skins and build more houses of this kind, which should reduce the number of people who are frozen to death."

The fishing leader can only think of such a method, and the other high-level officials of the fishing tribe have expressed their approval, this winter has arrived, and there is no way to prepare, I am afraid that next winter will still be like this, then next spring, summer and autumn will have to spare some time to prepare, no one wants to see their own people being frozen to death in the cold winter.

As the days passed, the weather became colder and colder, and there was no need for anything, so humans hid in their houses and wrapped themselves in animal skins to ward off the cold.

However, in addition to the brick houses built with ondols on the side of the Xia Kingdom, which can well resist the invasion of the cold, the houses of other tribes have high and low ability to resist the cold, and the houses are often crushed by snow, and there are even things that wake up at dawn and find that the bodies of the people around them have stiffened.

Although no one was frozen to death in the Xia Kingdom, the cold also had a great impact on the Xia Kingdom, for example, many of the livestock raised by every household in the Xia Kingdom were frozen to death, but fortunately, the frozen livestock could also be eaten, which was not a waste.

In order to prevent the livestock from freezing to death, each family had to light a fire in the animal pen to keep the animals warm.

Su Yan wrote down this incident and made a plan to renovate the beast circle in the summer next year, pay attention to the beast circle's resistance to the cold, and build a stove with bricks in the beast circle by the way.

It's amazing, there was a day when the beast circle was filled with a stove.

As time passed, the food of some tribes bottomed out, and even if the tribes reduced their people's rations, the cold winter did not pass.

In desperation, these tribes had no choice but to organize hunting teams to brave the cold and danger to go out hunting.

There are tribes that are lucky to get prey, there are tribes that are unlucky to encounter wolves, jackals ambush, and even more unlucky tribes sent out hunting teams that have not returned, for such a tribe, even if this tribe can struggle to survive this winter, the loss of many adult tribesmen, the strength is greatly damaged, once other tribes attack, waiting for this tribe is only extinction.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, in this cold winter, many tribes have perished, and some tribes are struggling to survive, like the Xia Kingdom, which is not afraid of the invasion of the cold winter, very few.

Finally, the ice began to melt, the cold winter passed, the new year arrived, and those sad faces showed a few smiles, and spring was the beginning of hope.

However, as the king of the Xia Kingdom, Su Yan did not have any smile on his face at this time, only seriousness.

"King, the melting of the ice has been delayed for another three days." The deer witch reported to Su Yan with some weakness that for several years in a row, whenever the water froze and the ice melted, the deer witch would come to report.

The water freezes four days earlier, the ice melts three days later, and the past winter has been seven days longer than the previous one.

According to the records of several witches on the winter, the time of winter generally lasts about eighty days, and the duration of the first winter is exactly eighty days, taking the first winter as the standard.

The second winter lasts eighty-five days, the third lasts eighty-eight days, the fourth lasts ninety-four days, the fifth lasts one hundred and two days, and the sixth winter lasts one hundred and nine days.

Compared to the normal winter, the winter that has just passed has lasted almost a month longer!

It's not that I don't know, I'm shocked, the winter continues to increase for a month, and the impact on the humans and other creatures living on this land can be imagined, a small number of poultry are frozen to death in this winter in the Xia Kingdom, and there will be no fewer beasts frozen to death in the wild.

No one knows when winter will return to normal, so they can only suffer in silence until winter returns to normal, or if this abnormal winter destroys all living things.

In the council hall, the city lords, ministers and sub-ministers of the various cities of the Xia Kingdom gathered together, and Su Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, took the high-level officials of the Xia Kingdom into his eyes one by one, especially when he saw Snake Zhi, Hu Biao, Lu Yuan, Rabbit Shen, and Shan Song, Su Yan would pause.

They are all old, the snake witch and the tiger witch have already passed away, and Zhi, Biao, Yuan and others are also born with gorgeous hair, and their faces are wrinkled, this is a trace of time, and even Su Yan is inevitable, but Su Yan and his three wives are aging a little slower because of martial arts.

And Zhi, Biao, Yuan and others have already passed the age of martial arts, and at that time, as tribal leaders, they all had a lot of secret wounds, even if Su Yan used high-year herbs to nourish everyone's body, it was difficult to get rid of all the secret injuries, especially Biao, sometimes Su Yan could see Biao secretly gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.

Su Yan also passed on the "health boxing" to Zhi, Biao, Yuan and others, so that they could practice when they were fine, Biao didn't like this kind of soft and slow boxing without practice, Zhi, Yuan and others practiced from time to time, but Su Yan also knew that this "health boxing" did not have much effect on their bodies, it was better to take some medicinal food bubble medicinal bath.

"Alas" Su Yan sighed in his heart and retracted his gaze, already making up his mind.

The documents of the city lords and ministers were all sent to Su Yan, Su Yan opened the documents and browsed them quickly, of course, Su Yan was still most concerned about the household department, or the population data of the Xia Kingdom that was counted by the household department.

At this time last year, there were more than 9,600 adult male nationals and more than 17,100 adult female nationals in Xia State, bringing the total number of citizens to more than 66,800, and the total population with slaves had just reached 70,000.

A year has passed, and the number of adult male citizens in Xia has reached more than 11,400, and the number of adult female citizens has reached more than 19,700, and the total number of citizens is more than 77,100, plus more than 300 servants and 3,000 slaves, the total population of Xia has exceeded 80,000.

The two most important factors that can increase the population of 10,000 in a year are the natural population growth of the Xia Kingdom, and the other is the addition of the five clans of the Sun Clan, the Flower Clan, the (second) Snake Clan, the Fox Clan, and the Crow Clan.

The changes in the harsh climate environment are still continuing, and the second plan will also be implemented, Su Yan feels that more tribes will join the Xia Kingdom this year. ()
