"I've never eaten so much fish in my life."

"Oh my God, it's fish, it's real meat!"

"Did you eat it? There's salt in this soup! ”

When people are old, there will be a lot of chatter. The old people held large bowls, wiped their tears, recalled the past, and remembered their dead relatives.

"If only my son were still alive. It didn't rain that year, no crops grew in the fields, and the whole clan was famine. At that time, we were still in the remote village, and we were not merged into Crazy Tooth City. My son went out to dig wild vegetables and never came back. Later, I heard that someone had seen a lot of bones in the field, and if I counted the time, I guess it was him. ”

"In times of famine, there is nothing that can be done. My wife is a ruthless person, and while I am asleep, she takes my daughter out and exchanges it with another child in the city. When I woke up, the child was dead, cut into several pieces by my wife...... Woohoo......"

"My daughter-in-law wanted to eat salt when she gave birth. It's been more than a year, I haven't eaten anything salty, I usually feel floating when I walk, and I don't have the strength to do it. Later, I learned a method from the Eagle Tribe, to dig up the soil in the place where I usually pee, bring it back, dissolve it in water, put it in a pot and boil it on the fire, boil it all the time, and when it is dry, sweep off the layer of ash that is condensed in the pot, and eat it as salt. Pity...... My daughter-in-law didn't make it to the end and died. ”

"Urine salt" is a commonly used seasoning in the homes of the common people. Human urine contains a certain amount of salt, take soil in the place where you often urinate, mix it with water, clarify, repeat this process several times, and then boil this foul-smelling and dirty liquid to dry, you can get a small amount of salt.

With his back to the old men, he sobbed silently from a position that no one else could see.

He remembered his friends who had grown up together in the slums, some of whom had starved to death, and some of whom had died of illness because they had not eaten salt. The pigs are rude and savage, they believe that the dead are a gift from heaven and are never wasted. Women can also see this kind of thing, if the child is gone, there will be another one, anyway, the pregnancy period is short, the child grows up quickly, and it only takes ten years to become an adult. Whether it is life or death, it is the will of the gods.

Only those who have gone through the ordeal will understand the happiness of the present.

"The Rock City Lord is a good person, after eating this fish today, I can close my eyes when I die."

"I'm stupid! When I was caught in the city earlier, I thought about killing a few Niu people, and it wouldn't be a loss to die. Luckily, I couldn't beat them, and then I was forced to swear...... If I couldn't think about suicide at that time, where would I be able to eat such a good thing? ”

"Forget it, it's all over, anyway, our original city lord is also dead. has followed him for so many years, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Rock City is a good place, otherwise why did the people from the cottage come here early? It's not too late. The Niu people didn't kill us, let us live, and gave us such a delicious fish...... I have decided that in the future, I will follow the Niu people, settle down here, and live a good life. ”

Red Nose listened and thought, not paying attention to when the broken tooth came to his side. He frowned and looked at the empty bowl in Red Nose's hand, then at the obviously swollen belly, shook his head, and shouted to stop it.

"Don't eat so much, that's pretty much it."

His voice was so loud that everyone around him could hear it, and they all turned their heads and turned their eyes to this place.

Rednose raised his head and asked puzzledly, "Why?"

"You were half hungry every day when you were in Crazy Tooth City, and now it's hard to control yourself when you see so much delicious food." Broken Tooth squatted down, sighed, and took the empty bowl from Chibi's hand: "I just came from the east end of the city, and there are a few people over there who have eaten too much and too violently, and they are dying."

Death?

This kind of thing sounds like a fantasy to Red Nose. However, several old people around him showed nervous expressions. They were well-informed and knew that Broken Tooth did not talk nonsense, so they quickly slowed down their eating, drank more soup and less meat.

"It's only the first meal, and it's almost there." Broken Tooth patted the shoulder of the red nose, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "Since you are here, I can't starve you." Our city lord is a capable man, as long as he is down-to-earth and willing to work, he can live a good life. ”

Rednose has no suspicion of broken teeth. He took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Big brother, what can I do?"

"You're a fighter with a lot of strength. I'll see if I can get you into the guard, but you'll have to swear allegiance to the lord once, and you'll have to pass the test. It's simple, not as hard as you think. Broken Tooth replied with confidence: "Be patient, wait for my letter!"

……

On the first night of their arrival in Rock City, many pigs spent time in makeshift grass huts.

"Political Commissar" is a new position specially created by Tianhao, with one person for every 100 people, and the status is equivalent to the head of 100 people, but the imprint pattern is a little complicated, and an additional five-pointed star is added.

On this past night, all the political commissars were busy.

They must familiarize themselves with the situation of the hundred-man team under their jurisdiction as soon as possible and know the difficulties of each family. The various regulations formulated by the lord of the city must be unconditionally observed, and the political commissar acts as a buffer and explanation in them. For example, if a new pig tribe member who has joined Rock City defecates in the open, the patrol disciplinary officer will remain silent and contact the political commissar of the 100-person team where the pig tribe belongs as soon as possible, and he will come forward and punish the violator in private. Most of them are double punishments for physical labor, and at the same time, they have to talk to each other individually, so that he is deeply aware of his mistakes, and from then on completely put an end to them.

This is a typical case where there is a policy at the top and a grassroots level at the bottom.

The rules set by the lord of the castle were not to be violated, and the strict hierarchy helped the people to develop a sense of obedience in a short period of time. But there is a negotiable aspect to any regulation, and it is necessary for grassroots officials to step up, and they are the best glue between the common people at the bottom and the superstructure.

The sun is out.

Breakfast is still hearty: fish soup stewed cabbage, mixed noodles steamed buns, pickles.

This menu is satisfying for all the pigs. Many people are talking about it: it is better to eat than during the New Year's Festival.

It is still a team of 100 people, according to gender, physique, etc., strong laborers go up the mountain to quarry, women are responsible for spinning and weaving, and the elderly and children stir peat to make honeycomb coal.

More than 50,000 strong laborers went up the mountain to quarry stones, and the whole mountain was densely packed with human heads, and people rolled large rocks down the slope along the ramps that had been repaired in advance, and those waiting at the foot of the mountain tied them with iron cables, and then pulled them apart, cut them with hammers and steel chisels in open places, divided them into small pieces, and transported them back to the city.

The construction of housing is the primary issue that must be addressed at this time. As soon as summer passes, autumn comes, and if there are not enough shelters to shelter from the cold before winter comes, many pigs will freeze to death.

The relationship between stone transportation and cattle is always a topic that cannot be bypassed.

According to the old priest Wu Xing, the reason why the tribe used the name "cow" is because of the large number of cattle living in this land in ancient times. The northern barbarians captured and domesticated bison, which gradually evolved into what they are today.

It is a terrifying beast with a terrifying appearance, standing more than three meters tall, and is larger than similar animals familiar to Tianhao in the era of civilization. In particular, the horns that protrude forward are very hard, and the sharp tips are like two knives, full of murderous intent.

In fact, they are docile and honestly graze, and as long as they pierce their nostrils and pass through a rope, they will follow you with their heads shut. They are never picky about their food, whether it is grass or hay, as long as they can eat it. The only drawback is the slow movement, whether it is pulling the plow, transporting, pushing and grinding...... The sluggish pace is devastating and doubtful.

Tianhao has always believed that these cattle in the tribe are of the same species as buffaloes, and there are many similarities in appearance. This animal is not suitable for warfare, and it cannot be used as a mount like a horse, and it can be used as a carrier for humans to increase their travel speed.

During the Panshi Village period, there were more than 200 cattle heads. But hunger destroys people's hopes of happiness, and as cows are killed to fill empty stomachs, a lot of heavy physical labor has to be borne by the villagers. In addition, Fu Song, the leader of the village at that time, was bent on obtaining a surname, and every time the gods were sacrificed, the slaughter of livestock was a multiple of "ten", and over time, the Panshi village also became dilapidated, struggling in a predicament with no future.

From the moment the leader came, Tianhao insisted on implementing his own business integration plan. He knows very well that although there are a lot of resources near Panshi Village, in terms of actual utilization effect, there is almost no help for the growth of the village. This situation cannot be completely changed by the efforts of just a few hundred villagers. In the long run, the main task is to increase the population, followed by the exchange of goods with other surrounding villages.

Cattle are purchased in batches, which in turn forms a large herd. It took only a few years to sell salt and dried fish, buy the first herd of 22 cattle, and now the city has more than 6,000 cattle.

"Farming cattle" is a customary term for carts, and they are used day after day between the city and the fishing grounds in the east, the quarries in the west, other tribal territories in the south, and the large peat mines in the north.

The northern barbarians are very fond of dairy products.

Mare's milk is a specialty of the Tiger family, and milk tofu is actually cheese, but with a different name, the difference lies in the subtle changes in the production method. Perhaps because of the lack of evolutionary time, the Tiger people failed to discover the secret of milk fermentation like the steppe nomads in the history of civilization, and did not know that there was such a thing as "mare's milk wine" in the world.

The cattle people also make cheese, of course, using milk, which is more mellow than the mare's milk products of the Tiger tribe in terms of taste and viscosity. However, beef cheese is also scarce, because of its high quality, it has long been a favorite food of the nobles of various tribes. It's also expensive, four times more than Tiger cheese.

Sheep are far less abundant than cattle and horses, and Tianhao knows that this is due to the different needs of each tribe. According to the information collected by Pingjun, the Eagle Clan is the tribe with the largest number of sheep, but in terms of total volume, it is not comparable to the horses of the Tiger Clan, nor can it compare to the cattle of the Ox Clan.

If you look beyond the Lock Dragon Pass and place it in the south of the continent, the strange white kingdom far surpasses the northern barbarians in any kind of livestock population. This is the advantage that civilization brings to them, which the barbarians cannot understand and are difficult to replicate.

Tianhao saw the problem.

No one is aware of the connection between pregnancy and delicious food, whether it is the king of the tribe or the national teacher. The number of livestock means the amount of wealth owned. In the case of the cattle family, pregnant cows are valued more than pregnant women. Men will stay in the cattle pen all night and sleep with the cow that is about to give birth, always keeping an eye on its condition for fear of accidentally causing the birth to fail.

Women...... Anyway, it's like that if you don't give birth, if you can't give birth, you will kick her out of the house and find a new one. If the child dies, then continue to exercise, and then get pregnant, and give birth one by one.

Humans are very realistic animals.

The calf will grow up and will be able to help its owner in a few years. What's more, feeding a cow is simple, as long as there is enough forage. When it is hit, the higher its value and the more valuable it is.

What is the use of children?

That's a money-losing thing. eats a lot, and the father has to worry about him for the rest of his life. Instead of raising a baby, it is better to raise a cow.

Coming to this savage world, Tianhao has never seen a cow with black and white flower skin. The last time he was promoted to lord of Pointe-Noire, he had paid special attention to the situation there, making sure that no one could be his competitor in the dairy industry, and he had not found a breed of cows with particularly high milk yields. It is estimated that they are all victims of asteroid impact on the earth, and they have long disappeared into the depths of history.

Zhenhui, the ranch supervisor, has been following Tianhao's orders to carry out long-term imitation training on the selected cows.

This is a cruel act that is specifically designed to meet human needs. Not only the cows, but also the female Bighorn deer joined the training. Artificial insemination is crude and brutal, but it is effective. There is only one purpose———— so that these females can stay in a state of lactation all year round, producing large amounts of milk every day.

Some people are not very smart because there are no incentives to stimulate their wisdom strongly.

Tianhao felt that he had turned on Zhenhui's crazy code, and this guy had developed a strong interest in "artificial insemination" since he became the ranch director. In addition to his daily work with cows and hinds, he took the initiative to expand his work to black howling wolves, marmots, fang-toothed pigs, and dozens of other animals, and even wanted to catch a few maned bears and put them in cages to be domesticated and crushed...... In his words, "I've never tasted bear cheese in my life."

Tianhao did not suppress this enthusiasm for work, but in some special and absolutely insurmountable aspects, he strictly ordered Zhenhui not to touch the red line.

Zhenhui once proposed: select a hundred women from the captive deer or pig tribesmen and try to use long-term lactation training for them. If the plan is successful, there will be a steady stream of new nutritional products.
