Clan leaders say they are able to support a population of up to a million because of the special type of grain they use. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoCompared to the 80 grains/bundle currently used in Shin'ne-Nu, the 240 grains/bundle of high-quality varieties have been used in the Lianghe River Basin, which is not only more productive, but also highly resistant to drought and water, and can be stored for 50 two crops in dry conditions after harvest, and can still germinate after being completely soaked in fresh water again. But this rice also needs more nutrients and more special people to take care of it.

Hadu was thrilled by the sheer yield of this grain: if the seed was brought back to "Shin'ne-Nu" and combined with the existing carbon-based fertilizer-based technology, a very large amount of rice could be harvested. However, according to the description of the clan leader, this kind of grain seed is controlled by the big chief, and whenever it is necessary to cultivate, special personnel will be sent to sow the seeds, and only after the rice germinates will the clan personnel be mobilized to serve the crops, and during the harvest season, it is also guarded and harvested by special personnel, which makes it difficult for Hadu to have direct access to the grain itself.

In addition to this, when sowing and harvesting, the Great Chieftain did not allow any members of the small and medium-sized clans to come close to the "professionals" to explore the key link of the governor's farming - the preparation of fertilizer. In this era, there is no way to separate the mixture, not even Hado, and there is no way to know the ratio of temperament and nutrient requirements of this high-yielding grain.

In fact, this is not difficult for Hadu at all - he only needs to stay here long enough to always find an opportunity, starting with plundering and controlling the guards, and plundering the knowledge of the "professional farmers" along the way, and even the great chiefs of the two river valleys are not difficult to control - as long as he stays long enough and has enough room for him to use his abilities.

Therefore, Hadu stayed in the tent of the leader of this small clan, and went to find out about the grain seed when he had nothing to do.

That's 15 years.

The environment in the two river basins is getting worse and worse, which is why there are many riots every year – even large-scale riots that destroy farmland. The Great Chieftain had become so unbearable with these unruly little clans that he had carried out a bloody suppression of the riots three years earlier, so that the lower reaches of the two rivers were stained bright red with blood, and the blood in the land did not subside for several years. The small clan where Hadu stayed avoided this disaster because of his reasons, and also survived to gather the remnants of other small clans and jumped to a medium-sized clan. By this time, Hadu had basically obtained enough information on high-yielding grains and collected enough grains to re-germinate and spread.

During another attack by "Nil-lo" on the two river basins, Hadu stumbled upon the shocking news: the desert near "Nil-lo" had been drizzling continuously during the dry season, and had not sunrise for 40 consecutive years. The news made Hadu worried: the area where Shin'ne-Nu is located is relatively wet, and if it is washed away by long-term rain, it may become too humid and turn into an ocean, making it impossible for the human settlement to survive.

And the situation in the two river basins didn't make any sense for Hadu to stay any longer: the harsh environment had torn large clans apart, more than 400,000 people had already moved to other regions, and the top tribes were caught in a dog-eat-dog internal power struggle, with no time to take care of the plummeting population. If the drought continues to worsen and the amount of evaporation continues to increase, even Hado's clan will become "cannon fodder" with no farmland to rely on and need to rely on large clans.

If you don't leave at this time, you may not have a chance in the future. From a modern perspective, the 50-year-old Hado is at an age when his physical strength, experience, experience, and leadership skills are relatively balanced, but in this era, he is already an old man – even in the "Shin'ne-Nu", whose average age is above average. How long he himself will live, Hado himself does not know, he must at least return to "Shin'ne-Nu" before the end of his life, and bring back all the knowledge and experience he has gained over the years.

But Hadu will never go back like this alone: in 30 two seasons, he has already developed a relationship with his clan, which originally had only 300 people, and has developed into a medium clan with more than 4,000 people, Hadu has made great contributions, and the people here are willing to follow him. When the clan reached medium size a few years earlier, the Great Chief gave them the actual clan name, which had not even been known before, "Ninham", and Hado changed the clan name to "Nin-Ham'me", meaning "tough toiler", using the simplified character he introduced.

In a farcical gladiatorial match between the Great Chief and the Chief Contender, Hadu quietly leaves the Two Rivers Valley with the "Nin-Ham'me". When they left, they took with them the rations of tens of thousands of people in the nearby granary, 8,000 riding animals in horse pens and camel pens, more than 14,000 weapons and armor, and more than 2,500 agricultural tools. The vast procession passed through the "corridor between the two seas", crossed the "Nil-lo", where the water was significantly larger, and began to march from the passage that Hadu had once opened to "Shin'ne-Nu" - of course, as he went, Hadu tried his best to take away the granaries, kilns, orchards, and The functional destruction of lattice farmland and other areas will allow a delay for the resumption of production of possible pursuers, but it will not completely affect the future production and life of other clans in the two river basins.

After about a full month of arduous marching through the north-western ridge of "Nil-lo", the "Nin-Ham'me" team reached the border of the steppe - and did not alarm "Nil-lo" at all. As the news suggests, the whole desert was moistened by drizzle, and when it came to the grasslands, this "moisture" became a problem: the amount of water flowing down from the "Falie" was significantly increased, and the original river channel became wider and more rapid. This made the "Nin-Ham'me" team walk as far as possible on the slippery rocks to avoid being swept away by the manic waters.

After telling the clan leader the direction of "Shin'ne-Nu", Hadu first reined in his horse and ran towards "Fayeol". After 15 years of construction, a complete lookout system has been formed at the alpine stronghold on the "Falie", and a plank road around the mountain has been built with a wooden structure as the main structure, supplemented by rattan and metal. When Hadu crossed the desert-steppe border on horseback and came to the foot of the "Falie" mountain, the reconnaissance force that had already discovered his figure immediately sent men and horses to intercept him. And the leader of this horse team is the young man who went through the coming-of-age ceremony with Hado and picked up Hado's bronze axe to slash the icefall. Seeing that it was Hadu who had returned to the tribe, the 50-year-old man, who had become the leader of the reconnaissance team, quickly dismounted and ran to Hadu, and then knelt on the ground and shouted Hadu's name: "He-Du_Yiheb'be".

The comrades who followed him were stunned by this scene, and when they heard the name from his mouth, the young cavalrymen reacted: this old man from the desert was actually the legendary "honorary chief" of the tribe.

After 15 years of change, Hado also showed certain changes in aging: skin roughness increased, body hair transitioned from black to gray-black, muscle tightness weakened, and facial wrinkle density increased. But at the same time, his eyes are becoming sharper and deeper, he has seen more and encountered more than his peers, and at this age, his whole body exudes an even more wise atmosphere. At the same time, what can bear witness to the changes of the times over the years is also the weapons and armor he carries: the copper spike and copper axe have obvious grinding marks, but even this cannot hide the patina at the handle; cracks have appeared on the stone knife and flying blade, which are already visible to the naked eye, and if they are not replaced, it is expected that they will be completely shattered in a few seasons or two; the copper lock on the leather armor has fallen apart due to long-term friction and lack of maintenance, and only the shoulder pads are hung by the shoulder straps without falling off; he has replaced the crotch and leggings himself, but there are signs of damage at this time。

The cavalry hurriedly welcomed Hadu in, and when they heard him say that there were follow-up men and horses to "integrate into the 'Shin'ne-Nu' family", the cavalrymen were speechless in surprise - Uncle Feelings, you went to the "friendly neighbor" tribe to learn knowledge and experience, and also "abducted" some members of the other party to come back. The old fellow, who was an adult at the same time as Hado, was also in tears at this time: After so many years, I finally brought back the leader. It was then that Hadu noticed that the atmosphere in the cavalry seemed to be very gloomy, and after arranging for the "Nin-Ham'me" to be recruited, he hurried with his old friend in the direction of the tower.

The atmosphere in the tribe was similarly gloomy, and even when the honorary leader returned to his hometown, the tribesmen were not able to show much joy. Hadu asked others to gather the leaders in the tower, but learned that the tower had collapsed - the continuous rain had made the foundation of the tower unstable, and the structure had loosened and subsided half a month ago, and the tribe hurriedly asked Hadu's parents and siblings to move out, and now they are temporarily living in the cave of "Fare".

After carefully inquiring about the situation in the tribe, Hadu sensed the gravity of the matter:

1. Affected by the rain erosion, the test field, kiln area, and mining area are seriously waterlogged, and landslides near it are frequent.

2. Due to the saturation of moisture in the air, all the items in the tribe have mildew that is difficult to eliminate, and the amount of grain stored has dropped to the dangerous limit of the population.

3. The phenomenon that the division and volume of stagnant water in the tribal area completely exceeds that of any person in the tribe, because the tribe has not planned a systematic drainage system, resulting in the pollution of water bodies such as food residues, livestock residues, and excrement in the tribe, which further affects the cleanliness of nearby drinking water sources, and the result is that the number of people infected with the disease in the tribe is increasing day by day, and the initial scale of the plague has been formed;

4. The sudden increase in runoff has overwhelmed the main river, and there have been many boulder revetments that have burst their banks, and the sharp bends of the middle and upper reaches of the river have been washed away by the water flow, resulting in the diversion of the river, and due to the impact of the water flow, the original cliff valley has been washed to collapse, and the river carries thousands of heavy sediment and gravel to the downstream, and its impact force has opened both sides of the waterfall between the middle and lower reaches, and the flood has spread to the entire downstream forest area;

5. Before the 5th ascension, an urgent report came from the outskirts of the fortress (i.e., the original "Mu-Tua-Yin" city), saying that the flood had broken the wall in the northwest of the fortress and caused irreparable damage to the pig iron smelting area, and that the local tribesmen and garrisons had been moved to a higher place.

6. The water flow on the "Fa Lie" is too large, which makes it difficult for the craftsmen who dig the cave to enter and exit, and the excavation operation has been temporarily suspended, but because the cave is well ventilated and relatively dry, some people have been transferred to the cave ** to temporarily avoid the rain.

The consensus among the tribes on the flooding caused by the excessive rainfall is to evacuate the tribesmen to the high ground and build a temporary camp, and then rebuild after the rain stops, but this strategy cannot be implemented smoothly in the case of frequent flash floods in the nearby mountains, and even if the tribesmen can be transferred, there is no way to quickly transport food, tools, weapons and armor, raw materials, etc., which makes some tribesmen unable to eat after retreating to the highlands, and the situation is worse than that of the tribesmen who have not yet evacuated in the low-lying areas.

These questions were clear to Hado, and he easily saw the key to it: food.

Solving the problem of food supply in rainy weather, especially dealing with the big problem of moldy food, can solve, or at least control, the situation.

The problem of water sources is actually to solve the problem of pollution sources and pollution pathways, but the difficulties are also obvious: distinguishing "good water" from "bad water" from flowing water bodies is completely impossible in this era, and it is not easy to clean up and isolate the pollution sources - not to mention this era, later generations are helpless and unable to avoid large-scale water changes such as flash floods and mudslides.

In an era where there are no reverse osmosis membranes, no awareness of water filtration, and no technology and concepts for preparing distilled water, the only way to solve such a headache is to find a unique way - take Hado, for example, as long as he plunders the diseases caused by dirty water on the people of his people. It's just that a long time ago he wanted to try the so-called "advanced plundering skills" - in terms of his predatory ability, he can plunder other people's states, so can "get sick" also be understood as a state. In other words, as long as the tribesmen are plundered of such a state that "will get sick", then the tribesmen will never get sick in the future. In the same way, when food becomes mildew after being damp, this "mildew" is also a state, and after this state is plundered, the food can be restored to a fresh and normal state.

Hado's assumption is based on the conclusion he has deduced over the years of plundering the allegiances of others: it can be found that the loyalties of all the people in a group and the loyalties of the leaders of that group have the same result—"loyalty to someone or faith" is in fact a state, and the object of this state can be changed and adjusted.

Hadu was now about to carry out a two-pronged "high-level raid", and at this time, he also heard that the horse team of "Nin-Ham'me" had reached the steppe-desert border, so he was ready to carry out this plunder as soon as possible. He instructed his people to remove the food from the cellars and granaries and cover them with animal skins to prevent further moisture—a consolation that it was all moldy and rotten. He wanted everyone to move like the border of the steppe to join the "Nin-Ham'me" in order to launch their own plunder. That's where Hadu gets a little depressed: he can plunder other people's states, but for himself, "he can't plunder himself", or what he already has. However, fortunately, the transfer of the tribe was very efficient, and the tribe did not slow down due to the disease, and soon the people of "Shin'ne-Nu" were concentrated in the designated location.

At this time, Hadu had a little time to ask about the changes that had taken place in the tribe over the years: in the first few years of Hadu's departure, due to the improvement of medical and health standards, a high population growth rate was maintained for a period of time, but this trend gradually began to become stable, and because after Hadu left, the scientific and technological development in the tribe did not have enough impetus, resulting in the stagnation of the scientific and technological level in place, so that the standard of living could not be improved, and the natural growth rate is now close to 0; the current various crafts and skills in the tribe have a high degree of perfection, and the simplified runes have successfully penetrated into all aspects of life, and the penetration rate has reached 100%。

As for the excavation of the cave of "Fare", Hadu did not ask much: he was going to go and see it for himself after the plundering was completed.

He first went to the damp and moldy food pile, and tried to plunder the moldy food closest to him, and in an instant, the green-haired air-dried meat began to turn red and shiny, and all the mold spots on it disappeared. Seeing that the plunder did work, Hadu then restored the freshness of the whole pile of food.

Then it was normal to go among the tribesmen, to go around the crowds, and plundering was also very normal, and the faces of those who had eaten the polluted water had changed from pale to ruddy, and their bodies had changed from colic to healthy straightness.

It seems that both of these plundering behaviors have achieved the results he wanted, but it remains to be seen how such plundering will make a difference to his people and how it will affect their lives.

After dealing with the affairs of the clansmen, Hado turned to prepare to go over to take a good look at his "Falie" cave.
