Chapter 99: Expansion Plan

The tribe routinely has morning exercises. After breakfast, Lin Ji moved the blackboard from the eagle's house to his newly decorated room, and began to write and draw on it.

Soon after, Po Tu, Fa Arc, Eagle, Qiao Huan, Chang Shen, Yimu and others came in one by one to prepare for the discussion.

The tiger barbarians have already left, and how to arrange the captives, whether to continue to organize the training of the men, etc., and even how much everyone eats every day must be discussed.

Seeing those things on the blackboard, everyone asked Qiao Huan, who was the most literate: "What do you write?" ”

"Count, number." Qiao Huan squinted his eyes, not knowing whether to be proud or blush. The most she could read was correct, but she could only read the numbers. It's just that what those numbers mean when they are linked together in strings is unknown.

Lin Ji put down the chalk in his hand, clapped his hands and said, "I didn't write anything, I just calculated whether our food was enough to eat." ”

Qiao Huan followed Da Ji to take charge of the food of the tribe, and had the most right to speak: "You must really pay attention to the food." Although the gray wolf department got some food, it was mostly stalks with no meat, and their jerky was not well preserved, almost all of them were stinky, only the meat of the tusks and the dogs they fell to death was good. Now they eat less, but certainly not enough for them. ”

"After we have more women there, we don't have enough food in front of us. They asked if they wanted stones, and if they did, they began to memorize them. ”

Qiao Huan said unhappily: "This is food again." ”

Yimu said: "It's really not good, I see that there are a lot of children in the captives, and those children will take a long time to raise them, so why don't we forget it." They eat everything anyway. ”

"Ahem!" Lin Ji coughed heavily: "Just say this now, don't say it again in the future." As I said, we don't trade with cannibals. Tell those savages that if anyone thinks of eating people in the future, we will kill him as a wild beast. That will never change. ”

Yimu remembered what he said by the forest trail river, and knew that he had forgotten his form, so he hurriedly lowered his head heavily.

After knocking on the anecdote, Lin Ji continued the topic just now: "If the food is not enough, let's go out and get it." What I have just calculated is not how long we will be able to eat the food we have, but how many people our land will be able to support by next autumn based on the fishing and hunting situation we have been doing since the beginning of autumn. ”

Can these also be calculated? Everyone looked at the forest trails, and then looked at the blackboard, as if they wanted to see the flowers from above.

"Guess how many people you can feed?" Lin Ji asked.

I have learned it for a few days with Lin Ji, and I can't add, subtract, multiply and divide, but the concept of ten hundred million is there. But one by one did not dare to guess.

"300 people." Lin Ji said, "As far as our territory and the eye pond are concerned, it does not include the territory of the gray wolf. Of course, these are ideals. Because at the current level of fishing and hunting, we may not find a single rabbit in our territory next fall. ”

The crowd is a little ungraspable, so what is the use of these calculations?

"If you have any plans, you can tell us directly, we can't understand them." Qiao Huan glanced at everyone's faces, and found that no one understood, so he opened his mouth quickly.

Lin Ji said: "I'm thinking about increasing the population of the tribe to see how big it can be. In other words, at present, 300 people are no problem. Because after all, the territory of the gray wolf tribe is also our territory, and their territory is no smaller than ours. It's just that there is a lack of such a fish area. As for next year's winter food, you don't have to worry, we have seeds, and we can start planting them in the spring, so we can harvest the grain. We've cleared the chestnut grove of miscellaneous trees, and we should be able to get more chestnuts. Now the question is, where do we get people back? And what if we don't harvest next year? ”

Lin Ji said it, and everyone felt as if Lin Ji didn't say anything. In their thinking, since there is a risk of under-harvesting, then don't recruit people, so it's safe. So, after Lin Ji finished speaking, no one answered.

"React a little, guys?" Forest trails spread hands.

Qiao Huan said: "It should be no problem for us to absorb some people, and many of those people from the gray wolf have said that they want to join us." ”

Lin Ji said: "Okay, let them behave well." ”

Yime also took the opportunity to ask cautiously, "Those wild people also said they want to join us?" ”

"It's okay to contribute to us." Lin Ji is considered to be a person who comes.

Lin Ji's attitude makes people a little confused, according to this calculation, there are more people in the tribe now than the gray wolves before, why do you still recruit people?

Lin Ji saw that everyone didn't understand, and he didn't mean to say it explicitly. There were some things that he feared would be bad if he said them. So he tried to pick what he could say: "Xu Yu wants us to hunt half of the healthy men next fall." I thought that the fewer people who went, the greater the casualties could be for us. So I want to take the opportunity to expand our tribe as much as possible. These Xu Yu also agreed. Our tribe has expanded, and the surrounding tribes naturally dare not do anything to us anymore. Gray wolves chase and hate this kind of thing, naturally there is no need to worry about it anymore. ”

"So, where do people come from? Do you have any ideas? ”

Lin Ji looked at the anecdotal eyes and encouraged him to open his mouth and say that he would recruit more people. But Animame seems to have brought in all the savages he knows, and there is no more way to do it.

At this time, Changshen said: "When I went to hunt, I saw a group of wild people in Youda, there were more than a dozen, all of them were strong men, they were the remnants of a destroyed tribe, and they were displaced here. They live in the mountains and forests west of Yuda, and I have told me where they live, and I can go to them. ”

Lin Ji's eyes lit up: "Okay." Is there anything else? ”

Seeing that it was gone, Lin Ji said to Po Tu: "Didn't you say before that the Luoshi tribe was barren? How about you go back and talk to them and let them move in? You tell them that we have a standard of living now, and you say they would like to move in? ”

Po Tu was a little excited: "Is it okay?" ”

"What's not to do? If they don't want to join our tribe, we will build them a stockade across the river, so that they can live independently and come back to hunting and fishing with us. We then teach them to farm and domesticate the land, so that they can live the same life as us. ”

"Okay, I'll go back, I'll go back." Po Tu was so excited that he almost jumped.

As soon as the train of thought was opened, everyone said that the tribe they were from should also be able to convince Yunyun, but Lin Ji saw that he was unmoved, and asked, "Which tribe are you from?" Why don't you go back and try it too? ”

Hair arc said lightly: "My tribe doesn't need it." When they come, our realm will not be able to feed them. ”

"What tribe can eat like this?"

"Youda."
